Upon hearing this, Wang Yue almost couldn’t maintain her hypocritical facade, and her voice trembled involuntarily. “The person who brought the equipment to record the video was sent by my husband! Besides, we have booked the entire hotel tonight, so there shouldn’t be any strangers here. That’s why I thought it might be Mei Shu…”
“It’s great that Sister is alright! Brother Lu Yan and I have always believed in Sister!”
Mei Mu quickly shouted this out, accompanied by her sweet expression, and the crowd didn’t feel that she was really putting on a show.
The girl was innocent.
They were all wealthy and valued their dignity the most.
No one would really argue with a child, especially a beautiful little girl like her.
Even if they suspected Wang Yue, they wouldn’t associate such malicious things with Mei Mu.
Moreover, this girl had been speaking up for Mei Shu from beginning to end.
But Wang Yue was right about one thing.
Most of the people present today knew each other, so it was impossible for a stranger to slip in unnoticed.
The identity of the woman in the footage became intriguing. The people who dared to capture the video were all gleaming with excitement.
The socialites present today were all either wealthy or powerful, so they wouldn’t lose out no matter who they captured on camera!
Lu Yan was just a few steps away from reaching Mei Shu when his mother suddenly grabbed his arm tightly.
Just then, his phone rang, so he reluctantly stopped and answered the call.
Upon hearing what the person on the other end of the line said, Lu Yan’s eyes lit up. He whispered a few instructions and then put the phone back in his pocket.
Everyone was still searching the crowd for familiar faces when suddenly they heard an exclamation that startled them.
They saw a man pointing incredulously at the face of the woman suddenly exposed on the screen. “I recognize this person! Isn’t this Miss Second’s classmate that she brought here?”
Hearing this, everyone focused their eyes on Mei Mu again.
While they were reluctant to involve Mei Mu earlier, they now had to reexamine the tearful girl standing before them.
“Why are you all looking at me like this? I really don’t know who the person in the video is! Could you have made a mistake? How could it be my classmate? I only brought one classmate with me…”
As Mei Mu spoke, even she couldn’t help but pause halfway, her eyes suddenly widened to the maximum, and she turned her head in disbelief to stare at the screen.
Suddenly seeing that familiar face displaying a strange and alluring expression, Mei Mu’s face turned pale.
How could this be!
No wonder Li Hua hadn’t come back for so long!
It turned out that she had become the female lead in today’s drama!
Mei Mu suddenly looked at Mei Shu, who was smiling, and a sense of fear spread throughout her body.
How did Mei Shu see through the trap carefully set by her and her mother?
Did she already know everything?
What did she plan to do next to her and her mother?
Mei Mu trembled all over, her forehead sweating, smudging her delicate makeup. She had long abandoned her previous composure. Now, she was genuinely afraid of what Mei Shu would do to her in public!
However, Mei Shu just smiled and looked back at her, not saying a word except for explaining to her father why she was late.
At this moment, the big screen finally went dark with a loud “snap,” and the whole venue fell into complete silence.
Mei Yun was furious that Mei Mu had embarrassed herself on such an important occasion. He had long been angry that Mei Mu had brought such an improper friend. But in front of others, he tried to pacify the situation as gently as possible. “Please forget about the unpleasant incident just now. I will get to the bottom of the truth of the matter. Now, I announce that my daughter Mei Shu’s welcome banquet officially begins!”
Mei Yun awkwardly tried to change the subject, and others couldn’t continue discussing it either. However, the way they looked at Mei Mu had changed.
The dignified Miss Mei, actually befriending such a despicable friend at school and bringing her to such an occasion, tarnishing the atmosphere!
Birds of a feather flock together!
Her mother was a home-wrecker, so she made these unsavory friends at school!
“I think she will end up just like her mother, specifically destroying other people’s families and stealing other women’s men!”
“Then I must keep my daughter away from her! My daughter told me before that Mei Mu is very good at attracting attention at school.. Every day, she entices boys to come to her classroom and confess to her!”
