However, Yuan Shu acted as if she didn’t hear the two of them at all. She ignored the two of them and said to Shi Lu, “We’re the host of today’s cocktail party. There’s no excuse for the host to be nowhere to be seen. I have something to deal with, so go watch over the hall.”

Shi Lu was stunned. He didn’t expect her to hand over the matter of dealing with the guests to her. He had always been the least important person in the Shi family. Letting him deal with the guests was undoubtedly a sign of importance and affirmation of his identity. Moreover, he would be dealing with upper-class families.

Shi Lu was a little uncertain and asked her again, “Are you sure you want me to go?”

Yuan Shu sized him up carefully. His attire was appropriate and his appearance was dignified. His black tuxedo made him look tall and slender. As expected of an actor. He valued his appearance very much and had good aesthetics.

But what were his concerns? Was it because he had never dealt with such an occasion as a host? it made sense for him to be unconfident, but children had to be trained.

Yuan Shu attributed Shi Lu’s hesitation and uncertainty to his lack of confidence, which was very different from Shi Lu’s actual thoughts.

After Yuan Shu tidied the bow at his collar to ensure that it wasn’t crooked, he said, “With your understanding of the various families, it should be more than enough to deal with them. You can treat this as training yourself for the future.”

…..

This was the first time Shi Lu felt valued by his family, but he pretended not to care and coughed to hide his embarrassment.

Then, he suddenly remembered that he had followed Yuan Shu out to ask for an explanation, but he had been dismissed so easily.

He said in an awkward tone, “Don’t forget that you still owe me an explanation.” Then, he walked back to the hall.

After Shi Lu left, Yuan Shu looked at the siblings who had just bickered.

After the commotion, the smell of alcohol on Shi Bin’s body dissipated. Yuan Shu recalled that he had drunk at least five of those sour, sweet, and colorful cocktails since the cocktail party started.

In order to prevent him from causing trouble and embarrassing the Shi family, Yuan Shu waved at the maid standing at the side, indicating for her to come over and help Shi Bin. “Send Fourth Young Master back to his room to rest. Let him come back to the cocktail party after he sobers up.”

Shi Bin was about to refute that he wasn’t drunk when he was intimidated by Yuan Shu’s gaze and shut up.

Yuan Shu’s gaze reminded him of how strict she was when she whipped him with a belt. Then, he followed the maid and left obediently.

Yuan Shu gave Shi Yi a calm look, but Shi Yi felt as if she was suddenly seen through and felt guilty when standing in front of her.

“You… Why are you looking at me?!”

Yuan Shu said with disregard to Shi Yi’s anxiety, “If you’re also curious about how I’m going to deal with Chu Mei, follow me to take a look.”

With that, she was led to the lounge by the servant. Shi Yi was indignant about her attitude, but she still followed her.

Although Yuan Shu grew up in a martial arts family, her father had hired many teachers. Later on, as the head of the household, she had nurtured a few children who were all talented, so no one knew better than her about teaching people according to their aptitude.

Although the three siblings of the Shi family were impulsive and stubborn troublemakers, they each had their own strengths. As long as she used the right method, she could get them back on track.

Shi Yi was different from Shi Lu and Shi Bin. She was a woman.

Since ancient times, be it in their own dynasty or in the current world, the world had always been biased against women. Therefore, it was destined that women had to do more than men to obtain the respect of society.

Shi Yi was so impulsive, undisciplined, and outspoken that she would be used by someone sooner or later, just like how she was used by Chu Mei today. She brought her to the cocktail party and made a scene, which caused everyone to laugh at her. It almost caused the Shi family’s carefully prepared banquet to become a farce.

If she didn’t teach a person like Chu Mei a lesson, she wouldn’t know how to restrain herself and would push her luck in the future..
