i Shu managed her facial expression, making herself appear neither impatient nor obsequious. “It’s always beneficial to learn an additional skill. Who knows if it might co in handy in the future?”
Lu Si understood and said, “Alright, since you want to learn, I can find a better person to teach you.”
“Isn’t S good enough? His skills should be impressive,” i Shu asked straightforwardly.
Lu Si replied seriously, “S is not a serious person. He might not teach you well. I can have his master personally teach you.”
i Shu raised an eyebrow and responded, “Then you’re going to great lengths for .”
“No need to be polite.” Lu Si seed to be in a good mood and took a big sip from his wine glass, a hint of blush appearing on his face.
i Shu guessed that he probably couldn’t handle alcohol well, so to prevent him from suddenly having an episode after getting drunk, she stopped him from drinking further. She cleared her throat and ca up with a passable excuse, “1 find the Zhou family’s place quite beautiful. How about you take around for a stroll?”
“What’s so beautiful about it?” Lu Si scoffed, but he still put down his wine glass and took her for a walk.
Thanks to Lu Si, the various ans that Zhou Li had prepared especially for i Shu earlier were all useless. She could only hatefully watch the two of them walking side by side from a distance.
Because Lu Yan’s gaze never left i Shu throughout.
Midway through the banquet, Zhang Jiao finally arrived with i Mu.
Although many people here were not very familiar with i Shu, they all knew i Mu. When they saw i Mu, dressed in a princess dress and beautifully adorned, with a thick bandage wrapped around her hand, soone imdiately approached her with a fawning smile.
“Miss i, what happened to your hand? It looks like you got seriously injured!”
i Mu had no mood to pay attention to them.
Since she entered, her eyes had been searching for i Shu’s figure, but she was destined to be disappointed. i Shu was currently fishing by the pond with Lu Si.
Seeing this, the butler of the Zhou family sighed helplessly.
In the pond were three white dragonfish raised by Zhou Liang, each of which was worth a million, and Lu Si had already caught one.
i Shu didn’t recognize fish types, but she had just received a fishing task from the system and was desperately fishing with her fishing rod.
Lu Si found it interesting and treated it like a competition. He cast the fishing rod again and quickly caught the second white dragonfish.
The butler of the Zhou family felt his heart tremble. He happened to see a maid passing by who was delivering drinks and quickly grabbed her, whispering so instructions before letting her go.
Lu Si turned his head to look at him.
The butler of the Zhou family imdiately put on a flattering smile, but when Lu Si turned away, he couldn’t help but show a pained expression. He wished he could jump into the pond and bite the fishing hook himself to protect the precious fish that Zhou Liang had acquired with great difficulty.
Zhou Liang received the ssage when he was busy receiving i Mu and the others.
When he heard the news, his face changed drastically, and his gaze towards Wang Yue and her daughter also changed.
Wang Yue felt puzzled and asked, “Why is Mr. Zhou suddenly looking at and Mumu like this?”
Zhou Liang took a deep breath and clenched his teeth before saying, “You’ll understand when you follow .”
Even Zhang Jiao was curious, and he was originally supposed to be i Mu’s escort, so he decided to accompany them.
The group walked towards the back garden of the villa. From afar, they could hear i Shu’s cheerful laughter.
i Mu paused and her wrist began to ache again. Her face turned a bit pale.
Zhou Liang noticed that and stopped, asking, “Miss i, what’s wrong?”
With a twisted expression, i Mu shook her head, “I’m fine. Is my sister ahead? Uncle Zhou, take over to see her first. If my sister caused you any trouble, our i family will definitely apologize on her behalf.”
This statent was quite sensible and fit the identity of the young miss of the i family.
Zhou Liang nodded in satisfaction, and his expression eased a bit.
The further they went inside, the louder i Shu’s cheerful and excited voice, causing i Mu to instinctively grip tightly her hand that was resting on her mother’s arm.
In a montary exchange of glances, the mother and daughter saw resentnt in each other’s eyes.
Why should she suffer here while i Shu got to enjoy this banquet to her heart’s content?
She would never let i Shu have it easy!
As they approached, the towering shrubbery now beca shorter, revealing the well-dressed man sitting beside i Shu.
The man tilted his head, looking at i Shu with affectionate eyes and smiling.
Just now, the system prompted i Shu that she had caught a rare fish, and she gained the opportunity to draw a rare card.
i Shu randomly picked a card, never expecting that it would be a skill to read the opponent’s mind.
Although it seed like a consumable item, it might be a lifesaver in a critical mont.
Naturally, i Shu cherished this skill and couldn’t help but smile happily.
Lu Si thought she was happy because she caught a fish, so he happily waved his hand and rewarded the two freshly caught white dragonfish to i Shu.
Now she was truly delighted. She had never kept pets before, but these two fish were beautiful, and she really liked them..
