Chương 220: Chapter 218: The Mediator

Mrs. Wu invited me to attend tonight's banquet and mentioned that there had been a misunderstanding between Master Zhao and me, which could be cleared up on this occasion.

I couldn't well refuse Mrs. Wu's invitation, nor did she give me a chance to do so; she hung up immediately after speaking. Mrs. Wu, too high and mighty to care about someone of my status.

After hanging up, I looked up and met Cheng Yu's gaze, telling him directly about the situation. "Looks like I'm going to offend Mrs. Wu tonight."

I had no intention of attending the banquet. Master Zhao was cornered and desperate; who knew what he might do? I wanted to cherish this little life of mine.

"How can you not go when Mrs. Wu invites you?" Cheng Yu chuckled, his tone suggesting deeper meaning.

I stopped eating, staring at him curiously. Cheng Yu didn't say much, just told me that someone would accompany me.

Hearing that, I didn't object further because I was willing to trust that he wouldn't harm me.
