Chapter 159: New Function Online

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mei Shu waited coldly for a few days, but Mei Mu remained inactive.

It wasn’t until Saturday afternoon that Mei Yun mentioned that the Zhang family was hosting a dinner party. Since Mei Mu was currently injured and unable to attend it, he could only take Mei Shu with him.

Mei Shu had a clear understanding of who this “Zhang family” referred to and changed into suitable clothing before heading out.

Upon arrival, she saw Zhang Jiao standing at the entrance, receiving guests. His eyes brightened the moment he saw Mei Shu, and he quickened his steps to greet them, “Mr. Mei, Miss Mei, welcome to our humble gathering. Please come in.”

Mei Yun smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Jiao, “We are old friends, no need to be so formal. How could 1 miss your birthday?”

As he spoke, he waved behind him.

Mei Shu lowered her head and gracefully stepped forward, standing beside her father.

Mei Yun introduced with a smile, “You’ve met my daughter before, Mei Shu.”

“Hello, Miss Mei. Is your sister not coming today?” Zhang Jiao’s eyes remained fixated on her face, reluctant to look away.

Mei Shu inexplicably sensed an unusual sense of anticipation in his eyes. She lowered her gaze and pretended not to notice anything, speaking softly and gently, “My sister isn’t feeling well, so she didn’t come with us.”

Zhang Jiao nodded understandingly and finally moved to the side to make way for them, ushering them into the banquet hall.

Once Mei Shu’s figure was gone, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

He couldn’t explain why, but Mei Shu always had an inherent attraction to him. In his heart, there was a voice constantly telling him that this woman belonged to him and no one else.

The moment this thought arose, even Zhang Jiao himself was taken aback, but after the surprise, all that was left in his eyes was the determination to own Mei Shu.

Indeed, compared to Mei Mu, Mei Shu was more to his taste.

As the banquet progressed, Mei Yun lifted his wine glass to chat with others.

The guests invited to Zhang Jiao’s birthday banquet were all business partners, so they naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to get to know each other.

Mei Shu sat in her chair, eating dessert, and feeling a bit drowsy. Suddenly, the long-lost voice of the system rang in her mind.

[Danger is approaching. Master, use your wit to resolve the trap.]

Mei Shu was startled and quickly looked around. Her eyes happened to meet the smiling eyes of a waiter.

He was dressed in a waiter’s uniform, holding two glasses of wine and a card on the tray. He stood beside her and said, “Miss, your father just got drunk, and we’ve sent him to a room to rest. Would you like to go and see him? 1 can lead the way for you.”

Mei Shu understood that this was the “trap” the system was referring to.

She nodded, stood up, and looked around. Sure enough, her father’s figure was nowhere to be seen among the crowd. She put on a polite and distant smile, “Thank you, then.”

The waiter’s smile deepened, and as he turned around, a smug curve formed at the corner of his mouth, quickly concealed.

He led Mei Shu to a 20th-floor guest room, and with the room card on the tray, he unlocked the door, gesturing, “Miss, your father is inside. I’ll leave you here.”

Wanting to leave?

Mei Shu sneered, suddenly blocking his way, “Young man, I might have trouble taking care of my drunk father by myself. How about you come in with me?”

At first, the man instinctively wanted to refuse, but perhaps he thought of what was about to happen, and his heart suddenly twitched. He hesitated, “I’m sorry, Miss Mei. I’d really like to help you, but 1 still have work to do, so I can’t accompany you.”

“Taking care of a drunk guest is also part of your job,” Mei Shu said matter-of-factly. Before the man could say anything else, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the room, shutting the door.

The man clearly didn’t expect her strength to be so great. Surprised at first, he quickly regained his composure. His eyes were fixed on Mei Shu’s alluring figure.

To be honest, he couldn’t bear to let such a beauty fall into the hands of someone like Zhang Jiao.

Although he had promised Mei Mu to help her deal with Mei Shu, it didn’t mean he couldn’t use her first, did it?

Thinking this way, the man relaxed his body.

He leisurely placed the tray on the table, unbuttoning the top button of his uniform to reveal his delicate collarbone, looking at Mei Shu with an interested expression, “Miss Mei, you were the one who invited me in.”

“Indeed,” Mei Shu raised her eyebrows and walked toward the bedroom.

The room was a suite, and from the entrance, she couldn’t see the situation inside the bedroom. But Mei Shu’s sense of smell was keen, and as soon as she reached the door, she detected an unusual smell.

She sighed deeply at this.

Sure enough, it was Mei Mu’s idea, the same method her mother, Wang Yue, used before. There was nothing new about it, yet she thought it would easily work on her?

“System, is there a function that temporarily enhances my body, making me immune to all poisons?”

[Yes, Master, you can exchange loo points for a Body Purification function.]

“Great, 1’11 exchange for it now.” Mei Shu decisively made the request..
