Kang Wei fell silent for a moment before roaring, “Damn it! You dare to hit me! Even my dad has never hit me!”

“Well, that just shows you lack proper upbringing.” Mei Shu clapped her hands as if she were disgusted, “Your language is so filthy, yet you still expect your uncle to favor you? Does he know you’re hanging out with these scoundrels, squandering away?”

Kang Wei pushed aside the woman next to him and charged towards Mei Shu, “You dare to threaten me with my uncle? Who do you think you are? Even if my uncle doesn’t care for me, I’m still his nephew. But you? I doubt my uncle would even bother to know who you are. Don’t think you can rise to power just by following Li Zhen! He already said he doesn’t like you. Stop being so smug!”

Mei Shu tilted her head, “I’m not smug. Let me tell you, knowing Li Zhen is the biggest stain of my high school years.”

She glanced intentionally in Li Zhen’s direction, not missing the anger in his eyes. “Is this what you call good friends? Being with them is supposed to help you regain your footing? I think you’d be better off playing games at home.”

Li Zhen gritted his teeth and growled, “You don’t need to worry about it! My brother invited you to make me happy, but I’m not happy now! If you don’t fulfill the agreement, don’t even think about getting what you want!”

Mei Shu nodded knowingly, “How about I tell you something even more fun, hm?”

Li Zhen looked puzzled, and while he was stunned, Mei Shu hooked her finger at him, then turned and walked away without sparing a glance for Kang Wei and Zhao Ping.

“Stop right there!” Kang Wei couldn’t swallow this anger, how could he let her leave so easily? “You haven’t finished dealing with the fact that you slapped me. Now you want to run away?”

Mei Shu stopped and looked helpless, “Then what do you want me to do?”

Kang Wei thought she was going to compromise and became even more arrogant, “Kneel down and apologize to me, and then kowtow. I can overlook it for Li Zhen’s sake and not bother with you.”

“I let you say one more word, but you really aren’t polite, huh?” Mei Shu sarcastically smiled, “Do you believe I can make your uncle personally drag you to apologize on your knees to me tomorrow?”

Her words had no threatening effect but made everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Li Zhen was sweating profusely, “Stop laughing! What’s so funny? Alt Shu, let’s leave here.”

“Li Zhen, she just slapped me in front of you, and now you’re helping her? Are you really going to betray your friends for a woman?”

Kang Wei was also getting worked up, displaying a demeanor similar to Zhao Ping’s, ready to turn against Li Zhen at any moment.

Li Zhen felt wronged.

He was clearly thinking for the good of his good friend, but now he was in a dilemma.

Thinking like this, his face tensed up even more, “I’m advising you for the sake of our brotherhood. Let’s leave it at that, or you’ll really get into trouble.”

His warning was quite obvious.

Zhao Ping came over and put his arm around Kang Wei’s shoulder, standing on Li Zhen’s opposite side with a united front against him, “Stop talking to him. If that woman doesn’t apologize to you, I won’t let her go!”

“I know you’re loyal. Unlike some people who only know how to defend sluts!” Kang Wei looked disdainfully at both of them, arrogantly throwing down the gauntlet, “I see who dares to leave through this door today!”

Mei Shu watched the scene with a smirk.

The situation had developed to this point, and it couldn’t be blamed on her. After all, it was Zhao Ping who had ill intentions first, deliberately trying to get her drunk.

She was only here to prevent Li Zhen from isolating himself in his room, and the emotions of the others were none of her concern.

Li Zhen was clearly angered by these two idiots, veins popping out on his forehead, looking very intimidating.

“Then let me apologize to you on her behalf. Consider it a favor to me, and let’s drop the matter, or you can slap me as my apology. How about that?”

“Hey, Li Zhen, are you serious? Going this far for a woman?” Kang Wei seemed to have discovered a new world, unable to stop clapping his hands as he laughed. “I never would’ve guessed, you’re actually a romantic! If you really like her that much, why not just admit it earlier?”

“I don’t like her!” He clenched his fists, as if swearing an oath, yet also as if warning.

The matter between Mei Shu and Lu Si was set in stone, with no place for him to intervene.

Besides, a woman like Mei Shu was out of his league anyway!

“Tsk, if you don’t like her, why do you care? Get out of the way!” Zhao Ping said, pushing him aside, and together with Kang Wei, they lasciviously approached Mei Shu.

Li Zhen was pushed to the side, nearly falling over. After staggering for a moment, he barely managed to steady himself.

In his ears, Zhao Ping’s voice carried a hint of drunkenness and repulsive lechery. “Alt Shu, you’ve really pissed off my brother today. If you don’t want to apologize on your knees, I understand. But I can offer you a solution. You and both of us brothers can go upstairs and have a night together. I guarantee my brother won’t bother about this matter again. How about it?”
