A Stern Mistress from the Ancient Past Becomes the Cannon-Fodder in a Wealthy Family

Plan

Not only was the Li family very involved in the business world, but they also had some political background. Gao Shan was nothing compared to them.

However, Chu Mei didn’t think so.

If this child was born, then this child would be Gao Shan’s only legitimate successor in the future. Moreover, she was still young. She heard that Li Ran’s health hadn’t been good for the past two years. If Li Ran died early, she could become Gao Shan’s legitimate wife. She could rise to the top and enjoy wealth for the rest of her life.

Wasn’t this an easier life than having to accompany people in the entertainment industry to drink in exchange for resources?

Thus, Chu Mei discussed it with Gao Shan. After knowing that Shi Xiao was going to Africa, Chu Mei had a plan.

Three days after the pregnancy test, there was a cocktail party. Chu Mei was the spokesperson of that brand, so she naturally had to go. Shi Xiao also received an invitation.

Chu Mei planned to put the drug in the wine and let Shi Xiao drink it under the ruse of a toast. She had already contacted the paparazzi to wait outside the hotel and take photos of her and Shi Xiao returning to the hotel together.

At that time, she could ask Shi Xiao to be responsible and there would have an explanation for the child.

However, plans couldn’t keep up with changes. She had arranged everything, but Yuan Shu came along.

Chu Mei watched as Shi Xiao drank the wine she toasted. Before she could rejoice, she was pushed to the side by Yuan Shu. Everything happened according to plan, but the protagonist became Yuan Shu.

Fortunately, her hotel was in the same hotel as Shi Xiao’s. The two of them left the hotel one after another and were photographed by the paparazzi who had been waiting for them, so the paparazzi spread rumors that she was Shi Xiao’s mistress.

However, at that time, Shi Xiao had already gone to Africa and had no time to deal with this trivial news, giving her a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Chu Mei pursed her dry lips. As long as she confirmed that she was Shi Xiao’s lover, Li Ran would let her off even if she didn’t believe it.

Chu Mei forced herself to calm down and asked Gao Shan, “I can look for Yuan Shu again and try to resolve the matter as soon as possible. But are you sure that Shi Xiao won’t come back alive?”

“Shi Xiao disappeared in Africa. It’s not easy to survive there.” Gao Shan sneered as he said, “The Ebola virus, plague, lack of water resources, and ferocious wild animals will ensure his death. You can rest assured that Shi Xiao won’t return.”

“He really won’t come back again, right?” Chu Mei still felt flustered and couldn’t help but confirm again.

If Shi Xiao returned and found out about all of this, it was very likely that he would join forces with the Li family. At that time, her outcome would be even worse!

“If you’re really afraid, abort the child!” Gao Shan began to get impatient. “You came up with the solution. You’re the one pregnant with the child. If you regret it now, hurry up and abort the child while you’re still early in the pregnancy. Don’t regret it when you’re about to give birth.”

“I’m not regretting it. I’m just a little afraid. I went to look for Yuan Shu today, but she was acting very strange…”

“How strange can she be? So what if she’s crazy? The crazier she is, the better it will be for us! No one will believe the words of a lunatic!”

Perhaps he felt that his tone was too aggressive, Gao Shan calmed down and comforted her. “Alright, Chu Mei, what are you afraid of? Even if she has really changed, can she kill people? Moreover, you’re pregnant with Shi Xiao’s child. Not to mention that it’s impossible for Shi Xiao to return now, so what if he does? If you’re pregnant with his child, won’t the entire Shi family have to protect you? Don’t worry too much.”

“But…”

“No buts, Chu Mei. You have to know that I’ve been talking to you for too long. I still have work to deal with. I’m hanging up.” With that, Gao Shan hung up.

Chu Mei slowly put down her phone and looked out the window before heaving a sigh of relief.

What did she do wrong? She only wanted to live a good life with money and fame.

She had planned this plan for too long, so she couldn’t fail.

“Miss Chu, we’re at the hospital.” The driver came over and opened the car door for her, but Chu Mei had no intention of getting up.

“Did you hear what I said just now?”

The driver immediately understood. “Miss Chu, don’t worry. Nothing happened in the car just now. I didn’t hear anything. You only said that you’re not feeling well and want to go to the hospital for a checkup. I don’t know anything else.”

Chu Mei nodded and took out a card from her bag before handing it to the driver.

“It’s good that you understand. It’s not easy for you either. I’m much better, so there’s no need to trouble the doctor to check. Go home.”
