Gao Shan was already a little annoyed, and when he heard her suddenly mention this name, he felt even more angry and frightened.

"Okay, stop crying. We still have time. Let's find a solution together." Gao Shan lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

Gao Shan wandered around the room for a long time and came up with an idea.

"I can't solve this matter. The Li family is too powerful. It's easy for them to investigate me. My only advantage is this child... How about this? Have your agent contact the media people he has a good relationship with, spend some money to buy some internet trolls, and have them send messages saying that you have shocking news, and then hype it up."

"Hold a press conference tomorrow and say that you are pregnant with Shi Xiao's child. I will ask your assistant to sort out the timeline and focus all attention on you. As for Yuan Shu, even if she denies it, it doesn't matter. She can't cause any trouble. Besides, Shi Xiao is gone. Even if the child is born, there is no way to do a paternity test. In this way, you may still have a chance."

"I told you a long time ago that Yuan Shu is a crazy woman now! What if she disregards her reputation and fights for her life? How can I beat her!" Chu Mei couldn't help feeling a little resentful when she heard Gao Shan's suggestion.

The child she was carrying was his, but if something happened, not only would she have to face it alone, she would also have to hide from place to place in order to survive, and she even had to say that the child was dead!

It would be fine if Shi Xiao really died, but what if he came back alive one day? If the Shi family and the Li family joined forces to deal with her, could she still survive?

Moreover, this method is very risky. If the media comes out to hold a press conference, she will be helpless and can only insist that Shi Xiao abandoned her. However, as long as any part of the lie is not true, all her years of hard work will be ruined.

"Why not just forget it..." Chu Mei wanted to give up. "I'll go to the hospital tomorrow. I don't want this child anymore. I'll have another one later. Didn't you say Li Ran is not in good health now? Wait until she dies..."

Before Chu Mei could finish her words, she was frightened out of her wits by the furious Gao Shan. He pounced on her like a wild beast, grabbed Chu Mei's neck, and said viciously: "Chu Mei, you are not allowed to abort the child. What qualifications do you have to follow me for so long? Do you think you can stay by my side just because of your looks? I can find more than a dozen women like you! If Li Ran hadn't been infertile, I would have had children a long time ago, maybe several! Your children are more valuable than you now, you'd better be sensible, otherwise..."

Gao Shan was about to say something when his cell phone rang. He looked at Chu Mei with a gloomy face and answered the call.

"Hello there!"

"Mr. Gao, long time no see. You seem to be in good health."

Gao Shan was startled. This was clearly Li Ci's voice.

Chu Mei looked at Gao Shan, who was originally aggressive, and suddenly showed a flattering expression. He knew that the other party couldn't see him, but he still behaved very humbly.

"Uncle, I was chatting with a colleague just now and didn't check the caller ID. I didn't expect it was you."

"I'm not busy, just ask if you have anything."

"The flight arrives tomorrow night, right? I'll keep that in mind."

"I will definitely pick you up in person, don't worry."

Chu Mei looked at Gao Shan's humble attitude and smiled silently in her heart.

Acting rich in front of her, but acting like a lapdog in front of others?

After Li Ci hung up the phone, Gao Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Chu Mei, go take care of things, arrange your schedule for tomorrow, and think about what to say."

Chu Mei responded, stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped again.

"How long have you not been to the set?" Gao Shan lit another cigarette and said, "Did you know that this movie had a bet? Director Chen called me yesterday and asked me if I had finished my work. If we don't start filming, we'll replace the actors. Do you know how much effort I put in to reassure the director?"

Chu Mei suppressed the resentment in her heart and said softly: "Isn't it because of the child these two days? I will definitely go to the crew the day after tomorrow."

"You are a smart man. Don't ruin your future just because of a momentary anger." Gao Shan narrowed his eyes, and under the influence of nicotine, his mood gradually calmed down.

"Deal with it. Don't let me down."

It was not until she got on the bus that Chu Mei finally felt relieved and she sat in her seat and started crying.

What bet, what press conference?! It's all bullshit!

Isn't it because she is of low status and is easily taken advantage of? !

If Gao Shan was powerful and not afraid of the Li family, she would not have to say that the child was Shi Xiao's. She could let Gao Shan divorce Li Ran and then become Gao Shan's wife openly.

And Director Chen, she was not the only one who disappeared from the crew. Didn't Shen Lu disappear every now and then? Director Chen not only didn't criticize him, but also smiled at him. Wasn't it because he won the Best Actor Award and it could increase the ratings?

The more Chu Mei thought about it, the angrier she became. Wasn't the reason she became Gao Shan's lover for resources and money, so that she could be praised and served in the future?

But now? Gao Shan made her sign this unfavorable contract, and made her pregnant while filming, and now he asked her to find someone to deal with this matter.

What did Gao Shan think she was? A donkey from the production team?

Chu Mei was exhausted. She called her agent and asked him to arrange a press conference for nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

"Let's go home. I still need to rest. I have to face the camera tomorrow." Chu Mei looked out the window and said to the driver with empty eyes.

The street scene outside the car window is bustling with people hurrying around, everyone is busy with their own lives. Occasionally, when passing by a large club, you can see waiters bowing to thank the VIPs.

Chu Mei felt that she was very pitiful. She was no different from them. She looked glamorous on the surface, but in fact, in the eyes of the big shots, she was just an ant.

Chu Mei's heart was in a mess, but at this moment she could clearly feel her hatred and jealousy towards Yuan Shu.

Why did she do all that back then to help Yuan Shu marry into the Shi family?

What's more, Yuan Shu has not divorced Shi Xiao yet. Even if they are divorced, so what? The property after marriage alone is enough for her to live a luxurious life.

Chu Mei had never hated someone so much before, but she couldn't do it for the time being. She couldn't afford to offend anyone now, so she could only go back to wash up, rest, and prepare for tomorrow's press conference.

The agent reacted very quickly. Less than ten minutes after she finished the phone call yesterday, an entertainment blogger sent a message saying there was news about her. This news was then hyped up by those internet trolls. When she returned home, the entertainment section of Weibo was almost entirely filled with news about her.

At this time, the agency announced that it would hold a press conference tomorrow, which attracted a large number of attention from netizens. Netizens who hated her said that she finally admitted that she was being kept by someone, while fans said that she would sue those unscrupulous media that spread rumors.

Chu Mei didn't care about all this. She was too tired and just thought about what she was going to say tomorrow, so she went to bed.

The press conference was held on time at 9 am the next day.

Chu Mei no longer wore her usual gorgeous attire, but only a loose white dress and flat shoes. She gently stroked her abdomen, walked onto the stage, and sat in front of the camera.

"Thank you all journalists for attending this press conference. I am Chu Mei, the host of this press conference. First, I want to apologize for occupying public resources. Second, I have a good news to tell you at this press conference: I am pregnant."

As soon as Chu Mei finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience.
