Chapter 97: Are You Worthy

Mei Shu found herself isolated from them, as if an outsider left behind.
Just as Lu Yan was about to turn around and call her, a group of students from the school swarmed around them, bombarding Lu Yan with questions about their studies.
This was arranged by Zhou Li beforehand, intending to use this opportunity to keep Mei Shu away from Lu Yan.
Today, she, Zhou Li, should be the main focus of this banquet.
Watching the group of people move further away, Mei Shu stepped forward to catch up.
Unexpectedly, the butler stood in front of her, smiling, but the words he said were meant to drive her away.
“Miss, I’m sorry, this is the Zhou family’s private banquet. Therefore, anyone not invited cannot enter the Zhou family’s villa. Please go back.”
So, they were waiting for her here.
Mei Shu didn’t mind and said, “Alright, then please ask Lu Yan to come out and drive me back. You wouldn’t make me walk back, would you?”
The butler didn’t expect her to directly mention Lu Yan and tried to persuade her with a forced smile, “Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are waiting to catch up with Lu Yan. He probably doesn’t have time to send you back right now. Please go back on your own.”
Mei Shu couldn’t help but smile.
Zhou Li was really going all out against her.
Wasn’t she afraid that Lu Yan would be angry if he found out?
Mei Shu stood in the doorway, preventing others from entering.
Soon, some people expressed their dissatisfaction.
Lin Xia, who had a good relationship with the Zhou family, stepped forward arrogantly and said, “Who are you? If you don’t have an invitation, leave quickly. Don’t block the way and make others freeze here with you!”
“Yeah, who is this person? Why is she dressed like this and came here without an invitation?”
“Look at that dress on her. Isn’t it the latest haute couture dress this month! My goodness, what is her identity? 1 heard that Lin Xia has been trying to get this dress for several days, but even her father couldn’t get it for her. How did this woman with an unknown background end up wearing it?”
For a moment, everyone began to speculate about Mei Shu’s identity.
Lin Xia recognized the dress immediately and walked up to Mei Shu, pointing at her clothes and questioning, “Who gave you this dress? Answer me! Are you mute?”
Mei Shu calmly looked at her and replied, “Why should I tell you? Does this dress have anything to do with you?”
Lin Xia became impatient and signaled to the two followers behind her.
The two of them had done a lot of bad things with Lin Xia before, so they immediately understood her intention. One on the left and one on the right, they grabbed Mei Shu’s arms, appearing friendly but exerting a subtle force, intending to pull Mei Shu to a secluded place.
“Miss, our sister Lin has something to discuss with you privately. Let’s sit over there and talk.”
They had used this method many times before to force people to follow them.
However, they didn’t expect Mei Shu to remain motionless.
They increased their strength, but Mei Shu still didn’t move.
Lin Xia urged impatiently, “What are you two dawdling for?”
“It’s not us! It’s just that we can’t move her at all!” The two of them felt wronged and exerted even more force. Looking into Mei Shu’s smiling eyes, they shuddered and felt an inexplicable chill.
“Useless. Let me handle it myself.” Lin Xia locked onto the dress Mei Shu was wearing and wanted to seize the opportunity to claim it for herself. Naturally, she seemed a bit eager.
She reached out to grab Mei Shu’s hand.
But after tugging once, she couldn’t move Mei Shu at all.
Lin Xia found it incredible.
Was this woman nailed to the ground?
“Miss Lin.” Mei Shu kindly interrupted her futile efforts, smiling as she said, “If I don’t want to leave, no one can force me.”
Lin Xia stopped pulling and couldn’t hold back her temper. She stood at the door and cursed, “You ungrateful wretch! You should appreciate that I asked you to sit and have a chat with me, OK? Do you really think you are qualified to attend a banquet of the Zhou family? Take a look at yourself in the mirror, see if you’re worthy of such an occasion!”
“She’s not worthy? Then are you worthy?” At that moment, a luxury car appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, and a man dressed in a deep blue suit leaned against the car door, coldly looking over.
The butler hurried over to welcome the man with cold sweat on his forehead, “Master Si, your presence is an honor. We didn’t receive you well enough!”
Lu Si didn’t even glance at him, striding over to Mei Shu’s side, his expression cold as he repeated the question he had just asked, “She’s not worthy? Then are you worthy?”
The just now chattering and sharp-voiced Lin Xia suddenly became mute.
She never expected to see this face at tonight’s banquet, so exquisite that it could captivate everyone.
He was Lu Si!
Master Si of the Lu family! The man who controlled the Lu family!
Not to mention Lin City, even the masters of the major families in the capital would submit to Lu Si.
Lin Xia was frightened, her face pale. She stuttered, “Master Si, is this your friend?”
Lu Si reached out to pull Mei Shu into his embrace, looking arrogant as he said, “She is my invited companion.. Do you have any objections?”
