Li Ci didn’t answer Li Ran. Instead, he smiled playfully. “After the matter ends tomorrow, you should consider your own matters.”


Li Ran felt guilty and asked, “What is it?”


“The divorce.”


After Li Ran calmed herself down and thought about it, the last bit of reluctance was chased out of her mind. “I understand. I’ll talk to Gao Shan tonight.”


As they toasted each other, the orchestra played a melodious tune. As Li Ran recalled her four years in university, she finally made up her mind to bid farewell to her youth.


Yuan Shu wasn’t used to the c.o.c.ktails here, so after she picked it up, she put it down several times. Shi Lu saw this, so he handed a gla.s.s of red wine to Yuan Shu.


In fact, Yuan Shu was quite fond of wine. She was born into a military family and had fought in the military camp for a while, so she got along well with the soldiers. Those soldiers who went on the battlefield liked to eat meat and drink wine around the bonfire after a battle. They liked to drink the strongest wine and eat the fattest meat. Yuan Shu drank a lot of wine along with them.


The red wine was much milder and less refreshing than the hard liquor they drank, but it was better than the sour and sweet c.o.c.ktail.


Yuan Shu took a sip and let the fragrance of the wine dissipate in her mouth. Then, she said to Shi Lu, who was beside her, “Have you signed an agreement for Gunshot?”


Shi Lu didn’t expect the topic to turn to him, so he was stunned for a moment before replying, “Not really. This agreement was signed by Director Chen Sheng and Gao Shan to bring Chu Mei into the cast. I only signed a normal contract.”


Yuan Shu nodded slightly. This guy wasn’t stupid.


“Chu Mei will be… blacklisted by the entertainment industry.” Yuan Shu recalled what she had read over the past few days and found a reasonable term. “There’s no hope for this movie being released. What are your plans?”


Shi Lu stuffed one hand into her pants pocket and waved the red wine gla.s.s in her hand with both hands. As she admired the beauty of the red wine, she said indifferently, “1 don’t have any plans. I’ve already finished filming the most exciting parts anyway. What happens to this movie has nothing to do with me.”


Seeing that he didn’t plan things out for himself at all, Yuan Shu was angry that she didn’t have a whip beside her now. Otherwise, she would definitely whip him twice to teach him a lesson!


“Shi Lu, as someone from my family, you have to do your best no matter what you do! You’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long, so the Shi family must have used a lot of resources. With your abilities, you’re actually only an A-list celebrity now. Are you content?”


Shi Lu was stunned. Was she talking about family? Yuan Shu’s family? Did she treat him as family?


Shi Lu, who had been neglected since he entered the Shi family, was suddenly so triggered that he didn’t listen to the second half of the sentence.


When she didn’t get a response, Yuan Shu couldn’t help but frown. When she looked up, she realized that the person beside her was already in a daze.


Yuan Shu realized that she really had to train these children. No one in the army dared to be distracted during military training! In that case, she would start tomorrow and formulate a complete training plan. It was necessary to train her current body as well.


Just as he finished thinking, he looked up and saw Tan Jing walking over with a c.o.c.ktail that was about the size of his palm. This scene was a little strange.


“Madam, 1 didn’t expect the banquet to be so successful today. You’ve really impressed me.”


Shi Lu knew about the relationship between the Shi family and the Tan family. Although they were not enemies, they were not on the same side. Tan Jing was unaccountably solicitous, so he must be up to something!


He took a step forward and stood between Yuan Shu and Tan Jing. “Young Master Tan, what can I do for you?”


Tan Jing didn’t care about Shi Lu at all. He looked down on the second young master of the Shi family. In his eyes, Shi Lu was just a lowly actor. He wasn’t worthy of talking to him.


He glanced past Shi Lu and looked straight at Yuan Shu. “I’m here to toast Madam Shi, but Madam Shi is hiding behind you.. Is this how the Shi family treats guests?”
