《Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 At the hospital. Lin Shanchu suddenly opened her eyes. Her pupils trembled as she woke up from the unusually realistic nightmare. In front of her was a quiet and bright ward. However, she knew that if she followed the plot of the nightmare, her beloved fianc, Lu Shiyuan, would soon kick open the door and rush in. At this moment, the ward door was kicked open from the outside with a bang. The door mmed into the wall, emitting a loud noise. Lin Shanchu! Lu Shiyuan rushed in with a murderous aura. When his gaze fell on Lin Shanchus pale face, his expression froze as aplicated look crossed his eyes. He looked at her with a slight frown, as if to confirm where she was hurt. Such a familiar scene made Lin Shanchus body shiver. She instinctively stepped back. Donte near me! The nightmare came true. Just now, she had a very long nightmare. In the dream, she found out that the world she was in was an urban sadistic novel. She was the female lead of this novel. The personality given to her was empathetic, beautiful, innocent, tolerant, magnanimous, fragile yet resilient The male lead, Lu Shiyuan, kept saying that he loved her, but he always took the side of the supporting female lead who ndered her all the time and never believed her. In Lu Shiyuans heart, Lin Shanchu was a vicious woman and he hated her to the core. Even so, Lin Shanchu acted like a braindead fool who continued loving him deeply. Out of the two million words in the novel, 1.99 million words were about the female lead being physically and emotionally abused by the male lead. In thest 10000 words, she and Lu Shiyuan finally got together as a sweet couple, thus having a happy ending. Lin Shanchus reaction infuriated Lu Shiyuan, making his face darken. Lin Shanchu, why are you so unrepentant? To think that youd actually pretend to be sick and get hospitalized just to avoid responsibility! Qidai is still resting in her ward! Go apologize to her right now! No way! The scene of her being forced to kneel and apologize in Tang Qidais ward in the original book shed through Lin Shanchus mind. You dont have a choice! Lu Shiyuan felt that Lin Shanchu had no sense of rationality. He was so angry that he dragged Lin Shanchu off the hospital bed and walked out straight away. Lin Shanchus body was so weak that she couldnt keep up with his pace at all. Lu Shiyuan grabbed her arm tightly as he dragged her half-lying form across the ground. She had yet to do anything, so why should she kneel down and apologize to Tang Qidai? Lin Shanchu used all the strength in her body to grab Lu Shiyuans hand before biting it furiously. She only let go when she tasted blood. Lu Shiyuan hissed in pain and released his grip. Lin Shanchu took the opportunity to get up and run in the opposite direction. As she ran, she shouted, Is there anyone here? Help me! However, there was no one in the spacious corridor. Lin Shanchus heart sank. She finally understood that the novel forcibly cleaned up the scene in order toplete the plot where she was forced to kneel. Lin Shanchu, stop right there! Lu Shiyuans voice was just behind her. Lin Shanchu held on to thest trace of hope and pushed open the door closest to her. Help! In the spacious and bright ward, a man in a hospital gown was holding a ss of water in his hand. He was slowly walking to the wheelchair and was about to sit down. The man had a tall figure, pale skin, and a pair of mesmerizingly alluring eyes. When he looked up, there was no warmth in his eye. Anyone who looked into them would feel chilly from the inside. He stood there expressionlessly in a hospital gown simr to Lin Shanchus. It was hard to hide the noble aura around him which was very terrifying. Lin Shanchu was shocked when she saw his face. It was Huo Xunzhou! It seemed that every book had a character who was deeply loved by the author. He had a top-notch figure, looks, and amazing wealth. He would obtain whatever he wanted, and he was a character that was loved by all readers. And in this novel, Huo Xunzhou was that kind of character. He made his debut at the age of 18, won three domestic Golden Awards when he was 20 years old, and won several international awards by the time he was 25. It was also in this year that he got into a car ident on his way back from receiving the award and ended up getting paralyzed. Since then, he had retired from the industry and disappeared. He was the ssic representative of strength and beauty that ended in tragedy in theizens hearts. Even though he had retired from the entertainment industry for more than a year, there were still countlessizens who wrote sad and beautiful essays on his fan page to express how much they missed him. However, it was apparent that Huo Xunzhou was healthy and well. He could deliver a look that was as sharp as daggers. How could he be paralyzed? Huo Xunzhous eyes were dark as he uttered her name with his maic voice. Lin Shanchu. You know me? Lin Shanchu was surprised. In theter stages of the original novel, Huo Xunzhou and Lu Shiyuan became business partners. However, she and Huo Xunzhou did not have much interaction until the finale. To her, Huo Xunzhou was akin to a mythical character. How could he possibly know her? Lin Shanchu! Lu Shiyuans voice came from the outside. It was like the whisper of a demon. Lin Shanchu instinctively felt fear oveing her. Her body reacted to it and began to tremble. The demon was right outside the door. Lin Shanchu could only walk forward. Huo Xunzhou had already sat back in his wheelchair and was leaning backzily. At first nce, he looked no different from a real disabled person. Can you help me? Lin Shanchu knelt down in front of him, her eyes full of pleading. The woman was thin and weak. She squatted in front of him in a small ball while acting as docile as a cat. Her face was full of panic, and there was still a trace of blood on the corner of her lips. Her eyes were filled with determination as if she was holding onto herst life-saving straw. She was like a beautiful piece of porcin that was about to fall to the ground. It would shatter with a ng. But as long as he reached out, he would be able to catch her. Bang! The ward door was pushed open by Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu quickly hid behind Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu,e here! Lu Shiyuans face was gloomy. Lin Shanchu became nervous and subconsciously clutched the corner of Huo Xunzhous shirt. Please, I dont want to go with him. Huo Xunzhous expression was still indifferent. Lu Shiyuan stared at Lin Shanchu and strode toward her. This woman had always been obedient to him. Today, not only did she resist him, but she also dared to hide behind other men. As he watched Lu Shiyuan walk closer, Lin Shanchu clenched her hands and looked out the window. No matter what, she didnt want to be tortured by Lu Shiyuan again. At worst, she would just die. Just as Lu Shiyuan was about to reach her, Huo Xunzhou turned his wheelchair and stopped him. Didnt your parents teach you to knock before entering someones room? This voice was like angelic music to Lin Shanchus ears. The woman behind you is my fiance, Lu Shiyuan warned. Huo Xunzhou, I advise you not to meddle in other peoples business. I was just catching up with an old ssmate, Huo Xunzhou replied unhurriedly. What kind of meddling would this be? Lu Shiyuanughed coldly. Lin Shanchu grew up in Xu City, whereas youre not from there. Youre saying youre her old ssmate? Huo Xunzhous expression was calm as he said, I used to study at a kindergarten in Xu City before I turned five. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Lu Shiyuan was so angry that heughed. Then, he nced coldly at Lin Shanchu. Very well! Bang! Lu Shiyuan mmed the door angrily and left. After Lin Shanchu calmed down, she thanked him very sincerely. Thank you, Mr. Huo. Huo Xunzhou may look fierce, but he was actually a good person. He even made up a poor excuse in order to help her. Huo Xunzhous expression was extremely indifferent. He held the cup and slowly drank the water. His fingers were long and beautiful. Lin Shanchu waited for a moment. After making sure that he still had no intention of speaking, she said tentatively, Then Ill be leaving first, okay? As expected, she did not receive any response. She turned to leave, but just as she walked out the door, she felt a burning pain ring in her body. Lin Shanchu panted heavily and slowly slid to the floor against the door frame. It was the cancer acting up. This morning, she went to the hospital to get the results of her physical examination. She was diagnosed to have terminal cancer. The first thing she did was to look for Lu Shiyuan. After she saw Lu Shiyuan, before she could exin her condition, he questioned her why she hired someone to dump sulphuric acid on Tang Qidai. In the midst of their argument, Lu Shiyuan pushed her down the stairs. After that, Lu Shiyuan drove straight to the hospital to visit Tang Qidai without even looking at her. Lu Shiyuan was simply a scumbag! In the future, he would do even more vicious things to her. However, in the original novel, this scumbag did not pay any price for what he had done. He was forgiven after shedding a few drops of regretful tears and even got a happy ending. If things were to go her way She really wanted to kill him! [Ding!] [Persona restoration system has been activated.] [It has been detected that the persona of the sadistic novels female lead is about to copse. Commencing repairs] A cold mechanical voice sounded in Lin Shanchus mind. What was that? The system replied, [Im not a thing. Im the system. Im repairing your persona at the moment. ] Lin Shanchu was puzzled. What kind of stupid system was this? How could it say that it was not a thing? The system replied, [Host, please remember your gentle and kind persona. Do not insult the system. ] Lin Shanchu replied,Youre an idiot. The system was speechless. The pain in her body red up again. Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Even if she was going to die, she would kill Lu Shiyuan first! [The persona restoration has failed!] The system panicked. [Host, as a gentle and kind female lead of a sadistic novel, no matter how the male lead hurts and tortures you, you should always be loyal to him. Also, you mustnt kill him.] Lin Shanchu was talking to the system in her mind. I dont have brain cancer, but youre a real idiot. The stupid system replied, [Youll die if you dont follow the plot.] In the original novel, as the female lead, even though she was terminally ill and was sent to prison by Lu Shiyuan to be tortured, she still survived. What the system meant was that if she wanted to live, she had to be tortured by Lu Shiyuan without struggling or resisting just like what happened in the novel. Lin Shanchu replied, Id rather die than live without dignity! The system fell silent. As if to confirm the systems words, the pain in Lin Shanchus body became more intense in an instant. She curled up and fell to the ground, almost fainting from the pain. In her daze, she heard the door of the ward open. Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair and looked at her coldly. The pain in her body was miraculously reduced. At the same time, Lin Shanchus mind was filled with static noise due to the interruption caused to the system. He looked down at her and said in a cold tone, Why havent you left? Lin Shanchu struggled to stand up from the ground. She forced a smile and weakly replied, Ill leave immediately. She saw Huo Xunzhou frown slightly, then turned his wheelchair and left without a word. The moment he left, the pain in her body intensified again. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Hey idiot, why did I feel less pain when Huo Xunzhou was around? The system retorted, [My name isnt idiot. I have a serial number. Huo Xunzhou is the highlight of the book and is loved by the readers. He has a strong character aura and will have a certain influence on the people around him.] Lin Shanchu was deep in thought. Do the readers like Lu Shiyuan? The system was speechless. Lin Shanchuughed. The readers are just like me. They cant wait for Lu Shiyuan to die, right? She used to read novels. She would read the readersments before reading. In those sadistic novels, the readers were either calling the male lead an idiot or begging the author to change the male lead. The system replied, [Yes.] Lin Shanchu suggested, Then Ill do whats best for this world and help the readers get rid of this scourge! The system replied, [The male lead wont die, but youll definitely die if you dont follow the plot.] Lin Shanchu snarled out. Shut up, you idiot! Lin Shanchu returned to the ward, grabbed her things, and quickly left the hospital. She hailed a taxi at the entrance. Miss, where do you want to go? the driver asked. Lin Shanchu was stunned when she heard this. The Lin family and the Lu family had been friends for generations. The two families had been business partners for many years. After thepany went public, a business rival bribed some assassins to kill their parents. Lin Shanchus parents died on the spot in order to protect Lu Shiyuans father, That year, Lin Shanchu was six years old. She was brought to the Lu family after her parents passed away. Grandpa Lu even arranged a marriage between her and Lu Shiyuan. She had lived with the Lu family for 16 years. Now that she had left the Lu family, where else could she go in this huge city? The system replied, [Return to the Lu family.] The stupid system was always reminding her to follow the plot. Lin Shanchu pretended that the system just farted and said to the driver, Just keep going. Stop at the entrance of the third hotel. Thank you. With nowhere to go, she could only find a hotel to stay in. After checking in and entering the hotel room, the system started to gab again. It said, [Youll die if you dont follow the plot. ] Lin Shanchu replied, What good would it do you if I die? The system was speechless. Lin Shanchu continued, Im the female lead. If I really die, wont the world copse? Wouldnt you have failed your mission? The system did not say anything, so Lin Shanchu knew that she had guessed correctly. So shouldnt you be treating me well and begging me to continue living? Lin Shanchus lips curved up, revealing a cold smile that did not belong to an innocent female lead. The system hollered, [Level one alert! The hosts persona is on the verge of going crazy! ] The system was so frightened that it revealed everything in a daze. [Sadistic novels are still romance novels. As long as youre willing to fall in love, you wont die!] The system was definitely a sly one. It had already threatened her that she would die if she didnt follow the plot from the start. As expected, it had a backup n. Satisfied, Lin Shanchu went to wash up before going to bed. After the systempleted its self-repair, it looked back at its chat history with Lin Shanchu and went into seclusion on the spot. Who was the sly fox here? Midnight. Lin Shanchu woke up from a nightmare. She looked at the time. It was three in the morning. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 She got out of bed and sat in front of the window for the whole night. The system couldnt help but ask, [Are you thinking about how to deal with Lu Shiyuan?] Now that its trump card had been exposed by Lin Shanchu, it simply gave up and no longer forced her to follow the original plot. After all, even if it forced Lin Shanchu to follow the original plot, she would not listen to it. It was impossible to repair the hosts sadistic female lead persona. It could only take a step back and hope for a happy ending. As for the rest, it would be fine as long as the host was pleased. Lin Shanchu asked, Cant I just kill Lu Shiyuan? [Murder is illegal,] the system replied. Lin Shanchu huffed. I didnt know you were such aw-abiding idiot. The system was speechless. In addition to being a scumbag, Lu Shiyuan was also a hot upstart in the business world. He could do whatever he wanted in Xu City. Lin Shanchu had neither power nor influence. If she wanted to fight with Lu Shiyuan, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree by itself. Even if she were to fight Lu Shiyuan with everything she got, her sickly condition would only contribute to her being massacred. She was definitely the most miserable character in the entire book. It was indeed a melodramatic novel without any ethics. Not only did she want to kill Lu Shiyuan, but she also wanted to kill the author. [Murder is illegal,] the system reminded. Lin Shanchu retorted, I was just thinking about it! She was better off going out to eat something in order to survive. Then, she can continue thinking about it. She walked to the door and opened it. The system screamed, [Dont open the door! Lu Shiyuan is outside!] But it was toote. Lin Shanchu had already opened the door. When she saw Lu Shiyuan standing outside the door, she quivered and tried to close the door with all her might. Lu Shiyuan was already prepared. He pushed the door open easily and Lin Shanchu fell to the ground. The phone in her pocket also fell out. She hurriedly went to pick up her phone. Lu Shiyuan walked forward and pressed on. Lin Shanchu, Ive really underestimated you. You even dare to seduce other men to help you! Lin Shanchu clutched her phone tightly and sneered at Lu Shiyuan. You only dare toy a hand on your own woman! You cant even be considered a man! Lu Shiyuan was infuriated by her words. He grabbed her neck with a dark expression.So Im not considered a man? Then who do you consider a true man? Huo Xunzhou? Lin Shanchus breathing became difficult. She red at Lu Shiyuan, her eyes full of hatred. Seeing this, Lu Shiyuan became even angrier and exerted even more force. He didnt notice Lin Shanchu calling the police using the phone that she had hidden behind her back. Lin Shanchu said with difficulty, To me any man on the street is stronger than you Lin Shanchu, you have a death wish! Lu Shiyuan shouted. Lin Shanchu was on the verge of fainting. She asked the system in her mind, Are the police here yet? The system replied, [They are already downstairs. You have to hold on.] Lin Shanchu could hear that the systems mechanical voice was more nervous than usual. What are you panicking for? Im the female lead. Female leads never die. The system replied, [The police are in the elevator. Theyll be here soon. ] Lin Shanchu could feel that the system didnt rx at all despite herforting words. She vaguely felt that something was strange. The system knew that she wouldnt die, so why was it more nervous than her? Bam! The police broke in. Raise your hands and dont move! When Lu Shiyuan was held down by the police, he turned to look at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. She stood there quietly. Her figure was thin, and the crimson strangle marks that looked like bloodstains on her fair neck were unusually eye-catching. She looked so fragile that she could not even withstand a single blow. However, such a woman dared to resist him. As the two of them looked at each other, Lin Shanchus lips slowly curved into a disdainful arc. After doing an injury assessment, it was verified that Lin Shanchus injury didnt qualify as a minor injury, so she could only mediate with Lu Shiyuan. When they were about to reach the mediation room, Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks. Sir, I need to use the washroom. After entering the washroom, Lin Shanchu closed the door of the cubicle and took out her phone. [What do you want to do?] the system asked. Lin Shanchu flipped through her phone address book before realizing that she only had the Lu family members numbers saved on it. She fell silent. The female lead of a sadistic love story didnt deserve to have friends, huh? Help me get the phone numbers of a few reporters. Lin Shanchu added without waiting for the systems response, You cant be a good-for-nothing system, right? Can you do such a simple thing? The system was confused for two seconds. [Of course!] It was definitely not a useless system! Soon, the system looked up a bunch of contact numbers belonging to various reporters. Lin Shanchu continued to voice out her requests. Pick a few reporters that have a strong background. Tell them that Lu Shiyuan and I were taken to the police station. Lu Shiyuan was the upstart of Xu Citys business world. He was young, promising, and handsome. He may not be in the entertainment industry, but he still received a lot of attention. The paparazzi wanted to keep an eye on him at all times. By the time the scandal titled Lu Shiyuan, the top upstart of Xu City, beat up his fiance was published, the whole city would be filled with the buzz. However, Lu Shiyuan was powerful and influential. Even if the ordinary paparazzi had first-hand news, they might not have had the opportunity to report it. The system tried to persuade her. [Are you really not going to try to follow the plot? You cant win against Lu Shiyuan.] Lin Shanchu retorted, If you want me to live, then shut up. When the system heard this, it instantly became obedient and did what Lin Shanchu had instructed. Thank you, Lin Shanchu said. The system was speechless. Everyone in the mediation room had arrived. Ms. Lin, how do you want this matter to be handled? thewyer asked. I want him to give me financialpensation Lin Shanchu looked straight at Lu Shiyuan. When she noticed the contemptuous humor in his eyes, she paused for a moment. And an apology. Lin Shanchu finished her sentence. Lu Shiyuans smile froze on his face. However, his expression returned to normal quickly. Lu Shiyuan stared at Lin Shanchu and said in amanding tone, Stop fooling around ande home with me. Actually, when Lin Shanchu first came to the Lu family at a young age, Lu Shiyuan treated her quite well. However, the good times did notst long. After Tang Qidai appeared a few yearster, Lu Shiyuan changed. Even if he would asionally show a trace of gentleness to her, he would quickly turn hostile. After more than a decade, Lin Shanchus fear of Lu Shiyuan was engraved in her bones. If Lu Shiyuan had said such words to her in the past, she would have immediately given in. This time, Lin Shanchu just ignored his words. It seems like youd rather be detained. At this time, the system appeared. [If you hate Lu Shiyuan so much, dont you want him to be detained?] Lin Shanchu exined, With Lu Shiyuans abilities, even if hes detained, hell be released before tonight. Compared to being detained, Lu Shiyuan would feel more humiliated if he were to apologize to her. The funny thing was that Lu Shiyuan should have apologized to her. [Then why did you ask him topensate?] the system asked. Lin Shanchu said, Im short of money. She checked her ountst night and found out that she only had 200 dors left. She was pathetically poor. The system was speechless. Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shanchu in shock and wondered if he had heard her wrongly. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Thewyer beside Lu Shiyuan advised him in a low voice. President Lu, its not good for you and thepany if this matter gets out. If it can be solved with just an apology and money, I think Lu Shiyuan nced at thewyer coldly, who immediately shut up. You want me to be detained? Lu Shiyuan repeated as if to confirm the facts. Either apology,pensation, or detention. President Lu, you should know which option to choose. Lin Shanchu looked calm on the surface, but her hands under the table were already tightly clenched. Lu Shiyuan scoffed in response. Ill choose detention then. How could Lin Shanchu bear to see him detained? After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Shanchu calmly, waiting for her to give in like before. Thewyers expression changed drastically. President Lu Lu Shiyuan only looked at Lin Shanchu while tuning thewyer out. Lin Shanchu didnt expect him to not y by the rules, so she started thinking about countermeasures. At this moment, Lu Shiyuans phone rang. He nced at the phone screen, and his expression immediately softened. Lin Shanchu immediately knew that the call was from Tang Qidai. Whats wrong? Lu Shiyuan answered the phone in a gentle tone. Tang Qidai said something on the other end of the phone, leading him to coax her gently. Ill be right there, okay? After hanging up the phone, Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shanchu again. His eyes were even colder than before.Have you caused enough trouble? Since you dont want to settle this peacefully, I cant sign the agreement. Lin Shanchu was no longer in a hurry because Lu Shiyuan was even more anxious than her. He was in a hurry to go to the hospital to visit Tang Qidai. Thewyer whispered to Lu Shiyuan, President Lu, we can only agree to Ms. Lins conditions and sign the settlement agreement before we can leave. Lu Shiyuan knew very well that things hade to this point, he could only do as Lin Shanchu said by apologizing to her as the police were also present. However, he still could not believe that Lin Shanchu would treat him like this. As both parties were in a deadlock, Tang Qidai called again. Lu Shiyuans expression became more and more anxious. It was obvious that he was about topromise. Lin Shanchu spoke up before he could say anything. Hold on. She took out her phone and opened the video recording interface. She looked up at Lu Shiyuan before saying, Lets start. Im sorry. Lu Shiyuans expression was stormy, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to swallow her up. Lin Shanchu asked coldly, What are you sorry for? Exin clearly in full detail. Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth. I shouldnt have used violence on you. Lin Shanchu looked at Lu Shiyuan on the screen and asked, So, how much are you going topensate me for almost strangling me to death? How much do you want? Lu Shiyuan asked. How much do you think my life is worth? Lin Shanchu retorted. Seeing that Lu Shiyuan was about to get angry again, thewyer quickly said, As for the subsequentpensation, Ms. Lin and I can Lu Shiyuan threw a card at Lin Shanchu. I want cash. Lin Shanchu did not pick it up. Thewyer felt that Lin Shanchu was pushing it. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he startedughing. Tell Zhou Yan to withdraw the money. Zhou Yan was Lu Shiyuans personal assistant. Soon, he brought a case of money over. Lin Shanchu signed the settlement agreement very quickly. After they left the police station, Lu Shiyuan stopped Lin Shanchu with a gloomy expression. Lin Shanchu, my patience with you is limited. Lin Shanchu did not show any weakness. She sneered, I think I should be the one to say this. Lu Shiyuan retorted gloomily, You? What qualifications do you have? Its only been a few years, and yet youve already forgotten what youve done to my mother? Anything rted to Lu Shiyuans mother was taboo in the Lu family. Ive never done anything to let your mother down! Lin Shanchu said with a serious expression. Lu Shiyuan didnt listen to her exnation at all. He started speaking in a dark tone. I remember that you have an uncle who is studying photography overseas. Whats his name again? His name is Lin Suguang, right? The sight of Lin Shanchus face turning pale quickly satisfied him. Lin Shanchu went to the Lu family when she was six. They grew up together and had known each other for sixteen years. No one knew her weakness better than him. Dont touch my uncle, Lin Shanchu said hoarsely. Her uncle was the only family member she had left. In the original novel, Lu Shiyuan was the one who killed her uncle. Seeing that Lin Shanchu was finally afraid, Lu Shiyuans expression softened. Shanshan, as long as you admit your mistake to Qidai, I can forget about todays incident. Thats impossible! Bowing to the demons would only result in them gnawing on her until not even her bones were left. Qidai suffered from a shock and is not in a good mental state. Come to the hospital before nightfall to apologize. Dont disturb her rest. Lu Shiyuan seemed to have expected her toe, seeing as his tone was very calm. After he finished speaking, he left with his men. He was so sure because he thought that Lin Shanchu was weak and would obediently admit her mistakes and beg for mercy for the sake of her uncle. The system reminded her, [If you dont do as Lu Shiyuan says, hell harm your uncle for real.] I know. She knew better than anyone else what kind of person Lu Shiyuan was. [Then you Host!] Before she fainted, the systems surprised voice rang in Lin Shanchus mind. Lin Shanchu woke up from the smell of disinfectant. She didnt need to look around to know that she was in the hospital. Thank you, Lin Shanchu said. The systems voice sounded in her head. [What are you thanking me for?] Lin Shanchu replied, You were the one who called the hospital for me, right? The system was silent. Lin Shanchu took it as an admission. Is my money still here with me? The system was a little speechless. [Its at your bedside.] Lin Shanchu turned her head and saw the case next to her bedpost. She then heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that the money was still there. The systems tone soundedplicated. [The female lead of a sadistic novel should have high moral integrity and view money like dirt.] Lin Shanchu replied, Only an idiot would think like that. The system was speechless. [Im tired. I dont want to think of anything anymore.] At this moment, the doctor pushed the door open and entered. Ms. Lin, your physical condition is getting worse and worse. I suggest you stay in the hospital to recuperate. I cant be hospitalized. Lin Shanchu shook her head. She didnt have the time to stay in the hospital. Seeing this, the doctor didnt say anything. [If you dont treat it, your health will get worse.] Lin Shanchu harrumphed. What are you panicking for? Didnt you say that I wont die if I fall in love? [But youre not in a rtionship yet.] Lin Shanchu looked around beforementing, This is the hospital from yesterday. [What do you n to do?] the system asked uneasily. Huo Xunzhou should still be here. Lin Shanchu carried the case full of money and walked out. [You want to date Huo Xunzhou?] the system asked. [He wont date you. Huo Xunzhou doesnt have a love line. Hell only follow the plot step by step.] Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks. Why is it that your first reaction is to always reject me no matter what I want to do? The system replied, [Im just stating the facts.] Lin Shanchu ignored it. Based on her memory, she quickly found Huo Xunzhous ward. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 She pulled up her cor to cover the strangled marks on her neck before she reached out to knock on the door. Knock! Knock! A momentter, a male strangers voice came from inside. Come in. Lin Shanchu pushed the door open and immediately saw Huo Xunzhou sitting by the window. He was sitting in a wheelchair with a book in his hand. He was so focused on reading that he didnt seem to notice that someone hade in. The man next to Huo Xunzhou pushed him and said excitedly, Yingzhou, a young girl is looking for you. Huo Xunzhou ignored him. Lin Shanchus eyes fell on that person. With one look, she realized that it was someone she knew. Mr. Nan. You know me? The man was surprised. Huo Xunzhou turned around and looked at her. His alluring eyes were so indifferent that no emotion could be seen. Youre Nan Mu, the ace manager in the entertainment industry. Its difficult to not have heard of you. Nan Mu was also Huo Xunzhous manager. After Huo Xunzhou retired from the industry, he no longer managed any artists. Instead, he started his own managementpany. I didnt expect that there would still be legends about me in the industry despite me not managing any artists. Nan Mu ced his hand on Huo Xunzhous shoulder while looking quite proud of himself. Huo Xunzhou only shot Nan Mu a nce. Thetter immediately retracted his hand as if he had burned it. Then, Huo Xunzhou looked at Lin Shanchu and asked, Are you looking for me? Yeah, Lin Shanchu replied. She nced at Nan Mu. Nan Mu didnt understand what she meant and even smiled at her in a friendly manner. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Huo Xunzhou put down the book in his hand and looked at Nan Mu as if he was a fool. She wants you to leave. Nan Mu was speechless. After Nan Mu left, only the two of them were left in the room. Huo Xunzhou looked at Lin Shanchu calmly before gesturing for her to speak quickly. Lin Shanchu was just about to open her mouth when a sharp pain emitted from her body. She pursed her lips tightly as her face turned pale. Can I get closer to you? Huo Xunzhou remained silent. Lin Shanchu felt that if he did not refuse, it meant that he agreed. She walked forward, and the pain in her body lessened slightly with every step she took toward Huo Xunzhou. It was until the tip of her shoe was only a few millimeters away from touching Huo Xunzhous shoe. Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou frowned. He had never seen a woman who was so insatiable. He used his original voice in all the movies and TV series, so his maic voice was very recognizable. Lin Shanchu felt that her name sounded particrly nice when he said it. Im sorry. Lin Shanchu took a small step back. She looked at his legs with a serious and solemn expression. Destroy Lu Shiyuan. Ill help you keep your secret. In the original novel, she did not have a birds eye view of the plot. Hence, she had no contact with Huo Xunzhou. Naturally, she did not know what he was up to. However, she vaguely knew that Huo Xunzhou was rted to the elite Huo family of Capital City. His act of being disabled must have something to do with the Huo family. Huo Xunzhou squinted his eyes at her and said yfully, Are you threatening me? No. I want to work with you. Lin Shanchu shook her head. [Arent you going to date Huo Xunzhou?] the system asked. She ignored the systems words. Huo Xunzhous gaze fell on the case that she had been holding since she entered the room. What right do you have to cooperate with me? Lin Shanchuughed. Based on the fact that I have 15% of the Lu Corporations shares. The real boss of Nan Mus managementpany was actually Huo Xunzhou. The Lu family had been focusing their business on the entertainment industry for the past few years, making them the dominant family in the entertainment industry. If Huo Xunzhou wanted to get a piece of the cake, there was no way he could get past the Lu family. In the original novel, it was precisely because Lu Shiyuan first upied the market that Huo Xunzhou could only cooperate with him, being ater and all. If there was a way to kick Lu Shiyuan out of the game, Huo Xunzhou would not let go of this opportunity. Who didnt want to be a winner? Huo Xunzhous expression turned serious. He started looking at her in a different light. If I remember correctly, youre Lu Shiyuans fiance. Mr. Huo, since you know so much about my rtionship with Lu Shiyuan, Im sure you know that hes very close to Tang Qidai the top actress. Lu Shiyuans favoritism towards Tang Qidai had never been concealed. He would always bring Tang Qidai along to events and banquets. Whereas she, his fiance, had long be theughing stock of the entire city. Huo Xunzhou casually tapped his fingers on the armrest. Its not the first time Lu Shiyuan has been so intimate with other women. Huo Xunzhou had also heard about Lin Shanchus undying love for Lu Shiyuan. At that time, he only felt that such a stupid woman was a rarity. He didnt expect to have any interaction with her. However, she had already endured it for so many years. Why did she not continue enduring all of a sudden? Perhaps Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan had set up this trap for him to walk into. Lin Shanchu could also tell that Huo Xunzhou did not believe her. Ill seek you out after canceling my engagement with Lu Shiyuan. Huo Xunzhous disbelief was within her expectations. After all, her hopeless romantic persona was too deeply rooted in peoples hearts. Lin Shanchu came out with the case. Nan Mu was leaning against the wall and ying games on his phone. Done so soon? Nan Mu looked slightly disappointed. Lin Shanchu didnt know what he was disappointed about. She only nodded slightly at him. After watching Lin Shanchu leave, Nan Mu pushed the door open and entered the ward. This Lin Shanchu woman looks like the quiet type. She doesnt seem like a fussy diva as depicted by the rumors on the inte. Is that so? Huo Xunzhou sneered. Quiet? A quiet type like her would want to ruin her fianc? Seeing that Huo Xunzhou had finally acknowledged him, Nan Mu immediately became excited.How do you know her? Why is she looking for you? You should leave if theres nothing else to talk about. Huo Xunzhou picked up his book. Youre actually avoiding the question. Is there something going on between you and Lin Shanchu? Nan Mus eyes were wide open as he stared at Huo Xunzhou in shock. Lin Shanchu is Lu Shiyuans fiance! Is this your new strategy? Are you trying to make Lu Shiyuan a cuckold, break his psychological defense, and then snatch his business? Huo Xunzhou looked at Nan Mu with a poker face. Stupidity isnt a terminal illness. You should get yourself checked out at the neurology department. Nan Mu was speechless. He felt like he was being scolded, but it wasnt really a scolding per se. He touched his nose and changed the topic. I cant go with you to the cocktail party tonight. Should I find you a femalepanion instead? Yeah, Huo Xunzhou replied. Nan Mu asked, Do you have any requests? What kind of women are you looking for? Female. Alive, Huo Xunzhou replied. Speechless, Nan Mu just pretended that he had never asked that question before. Lin Shanchu paid the hospital fees and returned to the hotel. As soon as she entered, the system said, [Lu Shiyuan noticed the paparazzi waiting at the entrance of the police station. He bought out the video of you twoing out of the police station together.] Lin Shanchu took a deep breath and said, I knew it. A person like Lu Shiyuan wouldnt be easily caught by others. Even though Lin Shanchu had expected this oue, she still felt suffocated on the inside. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The weather forecast said that there would be a thunderstorm tonight. Lin Shanchu made a sincere wish in her heart. I hope that Lu Shiyuan will be struck by lightning when he leaves the house. Although being close to Huo Xunzhou could alleviate her pain, her body was too weak. Any movement would tire her out. She leaned on the sofa and fell asleep very quickly. After an unknown period of time, she was awoken by the ringing of her phone. Outside the window, night fell and the lights were lit. It was an unknown number. Hello? Is this Ms. Lin? Lin Shanchu was a little surprised to hear the familiar voice. Mr. Nan. Nan Mu had a lot of connections in the circle, so it was easy to get her phone number. The question was, why did he call her? Ms. Lin, Im sorry to call you so presumptuously, but I need your help. Please tell me, Mr. Nan. Nan Mu and Huo Xunzhou were close and had a good reputation in the circle. She had no reason not to agree when he asked her for help so politely. Nan Mu exined, Theres a cocktail party tonight, but Im stillcking a femalepanion. Can I trouble you toe with me? Lin Shanchu was slightly taken aback. Of course Nan Mu seemed to be afraid that she would go back on her word, as he quickly interrupted her before she could finish replying.Ill send someone to pick you up now to give you a makeover and pick out your gown. Ms. Lin, youre really a kind person. Thank you so much. I Beep- After Nan Mu finished rambling, he quickly told her the location of the cocktail party and hung up. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Nan Mus personality was theplete opposite of Huo Xunzhous. She wondered how the two of them became friends. Lin Shanchus phone vibrated again before she could put it down. A short message popped up on the screen. The content was very simple. [Come with me to a cocktail party tonight.] The sender of the text message was Lu Shiyuan. The system piped up, [Lu Shiyuan has sent you a text!] After two days of interaction, Lin Shanchu basically understood the temperament of this stupid system. It was either trying to make her follow the plot or thinking of how to make her follow the plot. Therefore, the trantion of its words was to follow the plot. Lin Shanchuined, Are you here to fix my persona or to fix the plot? The system replied, [Theres no conflict between the two. After all, the plot is a great help in shaping the persona. However, the rtionship between the plot and the persona is not absolute. My mission is to repair your persona.] As Lin Shanchu listened, she had a feeling that she was listening to nonsense. Forget it. The system didnt look very smart anyway. [Youre insulting me again.] Lin Shanchu ignored it and replied to Lu Shiyuans text message. [Sure. Wheres the party?] An ominous feeling rose from within the system. [What are you doing?] Lin Shanchus tone was light. Im following the plot. The system was speechless. Fear started overtaking it. Lu Shiyuan replied within seconds and sent the address of the cocktail party over. After Lin Shanchu finished reading the message, the smile in her eyes deepened. Sure enough, it was the same address as the party that Nan Mu had just told her. Lin Shanchu slowlyposed a text message. Just as expected, my hopelessly romantic image is deeply rooted in peoples hearts. The reason why Tang Qidai used Lu Shiyuans phone to send me this message is that she knew that I would definitely go. This was the plot of the original novel. Tang Qidai had used Lu Shiyuans phone to send her a text message just to trick her into attending the party. When Lin Shanchu arrived at the party, Tang Qidai hinted to Lu Shiyuan that Lin Shanchu had deliberatelye to the party as his fiance to embarrass her. As usual, Lu Shiyuan took Tang Qidais side. Under everyones watchful gaze, Lu Shiyuan told Lin Shanchu to get lost. In this circle, there were many people who fawned over the powerful and stepped on the weak just to tter the strong. Ever since that day, more and more people fawned over Tang Qidai. At the same time, more and more people wanted to help her vent her anger on Lin Shanchu. The people that Nan Mu sent over soon arrived. The styling team was very professional. Most of the gowns sent were light-colored, which was in line with Lin Shanchus previously innocent and kind persona. Which one would you like to wear, Ms. Lin? the stylist asked. Lin Shanchus gaze swept past the group of light-colored gowns andnded on the retro red spaghetti-strapped gown hanging at the very end. I want this one. Are you sure thats the one, Ms. Lin? The stylist was a little surprised. Thanks to Lu Shiyuan, Lin Shanchu could be considered a celebrity in Xu City. The stylist had also heard a little about Lin Shanchu. Yup. Lin Shanchus gaze was firm. [This dress doesnt fit your persona.] Lin Shanchu seethed, Get lost. To hell with the persona! She wanted to be herself! She just wanted to be a normal person! Lin Shanchu looked innocent and pure by nature. Her skin was as white as snow. Her cat-like eyes were round and clear. She had light pink lips and a small yet straight nose. Her bare face was already very good-looking, so she looked even more gorgeous after putting makeup on. After the stylist finished putting on her makeup, a look of amazement shed in his eyes. He did not expect Lin Shanchus appearance to be able to handle such heavy makeup. She sat there quietly, her eyes twinkling brightly in a captivating way. A sharp glint was hidden in the midst of her naturallyzy and seductive charm. Lin Shanchu heard themotion outside and thought that it was Nan Mu. Thank you for your hard work. She stood up to thank the stylist before turning to leave. She had only taken two steps when her phone rang. The screen disyed Nan Mus name. Mr. Nan? He was already at the door, so why was he still calling her? Heres the situation. I cant go to the party because something came up at the veryst minute. I asked a friend to attend the party for me. He should be here soon. Mr. Huo, the stylist called out from behind. Lin Shanchu looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou, who was being pushed into the room via his wheelchair. On the other end of the phone, Nan Mu also heard the Mr. Huo phrase. He coughed lightly. You know this friend of mine. Hes actually quite easy to get along with. Well, the only downside is that he has a bad temper. He spoke quickly as if a ghost was chasing after him. After he was done speaking, he quickly hung up the phone. In a way, he seemed like a?criminal who hadmitted a crime and quickly fled the scene. The stylist had already left. Lin Shanchu stood still with her phone in her hand. She looked at Huo Xunzhou, who was two steps away from her and called out to him. Mr. Huo. Thest two times they met were at the hospital. Huo Xunzhou was always wearing a hospital gown. This time, he was wearing a well-ironed ck suit. He had well-defined features, which made him look very handsome. If the title of breathtaking god of the entertainment industry were to be crowned to other celebrities, one would treat it as a biased outlook from their fans. However, that title perfectly described Huo Xunzhou, seeing as he was the living embodiment. Huo Xunzhous restrained and polite gaze stopped on her face. Can we go now? No wonder Nan Mu didnt dare to show his face and instead called him to pick up his femalepanion to attend the cocktail party together. It turned out that he had sought Lin Shanchu out. It was easy to guess that Nan Mu had misunderstood Huo Xunzhous rtionship with Lin Shanchu. However,pared to other women, he inexplicably felt that Lin Shanchu was more reliable. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Okay. Lin Shanchu replied before walking toward Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou looked up at her. Lin Shanchu seemed to have realized something. She walked behind him and helped him push his wheelchair. She already understood the situation. Nan Mu had lied to her. From the very beginning, Huo Xunzhou was the one who was going to the party. However, the plot of the original novel was different. In the original book, after Huo Xunzhou retired from the entertainment industry for a year, he did appear in public, but not by attending a cocktail party. This was not the most important thing. Most importantly, she was nning to ruin Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidais reputations at the party tonight. If Huo Xunzhou were to get involved Lin Shanchu couldnt help but frown, deep in thought. The womans worried expression was reflected on the elevator wall. What did Nan Mu tell you? Huo Xunzhou asked thoughtfully. Lin Shanchu was in a daze, so her reaction was slower than usual. When she finally realized that Huo Xunzhou had asked her a question, thetter spoke again. You dont have to go if you dont want to apany me to the party. His tone was calm and cold, but it was filled with seriousness and respect. This was a man who waspletely different from Lu Shiyuan. I want to go with you. Lin Shanchu quickly shook her head. The elevator fell into a brief silence. Lin Shanchu immediately reacted. Her words were a little ambiguous. What I meant was She tried to exin. Thank you, Huo Xunzhou said. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Whatever. There was no need to exin. Everyone knew that she was a hopeless romantic and that she only loved Lu Shiyuan. The chauffeur was waiting at the elevator in the underground parking lot. When he saw Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchuing out, he walked over to help Huo Xunzhou push his wheelchair. Lin Shanchu was about to let go when Huo Chengzhou raised his hand slightly and motioned for the driver not to push him. The chauffeur was stunned for a moment before looking up at Lin Shanchu. His eyes were sharp, and there was a deep scar at the corner of his eye. He had a murderous aura and didnt look like an ordinary driver. Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou to the front of the car. The chauffeur came over and helped Huo Xunzhou into the car. After folding the wheelchair, he single-handedly ced the wheelchair weighing more than ten kilograms into the trunk. At the entrance of the hotel, the chauffeur took out the wheelchair and helped Huo Xunzhou into it. Then, like an emotionless robot, he retreated to the side with an expressionless face. Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou in while the chauffeur followed behind. It seemed that he was a part-time bodyguard. They got out of the elevator. Huo Xunzhou said to Lin Shanchu, Im going to the washroom. Wait for me at the door. Lin Shanchu nodded. The moment the chauffeur pushed Huo Xunzhous away, Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai appeared immediately. The inevitable plot still came. The system said, [Lu Shiyuan is here! Were following the plot now!] The system, which had been silent when Huo Xunzhou was around, popped up after Lu Shiyuan appeared. Tang Qidai held onto Lu Shiyuans arm and kept looking at the main entrance. After seeing Lin Shanchu, the smile on Tang Qidais face deepened. She tugged on Lu Shiyuans arm and asked softly, Brother Shiyuan, why is Shanshan here too? However, Lu Shiyuan ignored her. She followed Lu Shiyuans line of sight and realized that Lu Shiyuan had already seen Lin Shanchu. Not only that, but his eyes were also glued to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu did look a little different today. She was dressed up like a subus. Did she think that she could capture Brother Shiyuans heart like this? Tang Qidais eyes shed with disdain. When she walked up to him, Tang Qidai pretended to be surprised. Shanshan? Lin Shanchus red dress made her look as beautiful as a person who had walked out of a painting. Hence, she had long attracted the attention of many people. The surrounding people who knew what was going on had already begun to whisper. Is the one in the red dress Lin Shanchu? Yeah. I almost didnt recognize her just now. Tang Qidai is here too. This is going to be a good show. Lin Shanchu is the real fiance. Tang Qidais going to get humiliated today. Although they were whispering, their voices were not soft at all. The three of them heard the whispers. Tang Qidai pursed her lips, looking as if she was greatly humiliated. Then, she let go of Lu Shiyuans hand. Lu Shiyuan felt Tang Qidais shift in movement. The slight shock in his eyes when he saw Lin Shanchupletely vanished at that moment. He frowned and questioned Lin Shanchu coldly, What are you doing here? Im here to attend the party. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms, her eyes cold. Lu Shiyuan took half a step forward and warned her in a low voice. Youve challenged my bottom line time and time again, but Ive let you off on the ount of our long-term friendship. Not only did you not apologize to Qidai, but you even embarrassed her at the party. Dont me me for being ruthless this time! Long-term friendship? Ahaha Lin Shanchu chuckled softly. She stepped back and put some distance between her and Lu Shiyuan. Then, she raised her voice and said, When I was young, my father taught me that a noble person should fulfill the wishes of others. Since you and Ms. Tang are in love with each other, Im willing to break off the engagement with you. Shanshan, youve misunderstood Tang Qidai looked flustered. Brother Shiyuan, please exin to Shanshan. Were not in that kind of rtionship. There was a burst of exmations from their surroundings. The well-known hopeless romantic actually took the initiative to call off the engagement. A misunderstanding? Lin Shanchu turned to look around her. What do you think, everyone? Does Lu Shiyuan like Ms. Tang or me more? This time, no one dared to make a sound. Everyone loved a good show. However, no one wanted to offend Lu Shiyuan. Anyone with eyes could tell that the person Lu Shiyuan liked was Tang Qidai. However, this kind of thing was not presentable and glorious. Lin Shanchu! Have you had enough! Lu Shiyuans expression was extremely dark. As a female viin, Tang Qidai had always been doing her job to sow discord between Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan. Naturally, she would not let go of this opportunity. Lu Shiyuan was already at the peak of his anger, so Tang Qidai naturally wanted to add fuel to the fire. She wore an expression of empathy despite having been wronged. Shanshan, the three of us grew up together. What cant we talk about face to face? Youve misunderstood me and Brother Shiyuan. Ill try my best not to hang out with Brother Shiyuan in the future, okay? Qidai, its useless to talk to her about this. Lu Shiyuan reached out, wanting to pull Lin Shanchu away. Lin Shanchu retreated away immediately. The fear of Lu Shiyuan that was ingrained in her bones attacked her in waves once again. At this moment, a hand reached out from the side and mped down on Lu Shiyuans arm. Lin Shanchus heart calmed down. She turned around and saw that it was Huo Xunzhous chauffeur who stopped Lu Shiyuan. Huo Xunzhou turned his wheelchair and came to her side. Lin Shanchu felt at ease for no reason. Mr. Huo, she called out in a low voice. Why arent you calling me Brother Xunzhou? Huo Xunzhou looked up, calmness present in his alluring eyes. He sounded very serious as well. Lin Shanchu was confused, to say the least. The system eximed, [What the hell? What kind of plot is this? This never happened in the novel!] Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Huo Xunzhous appearance caused quite a stir. There were even screamsing from the crowd. The source of themotion waspletely unaware as he continued to look at Lin Shanchu. His eyes were unusually focused. It was as if he would continue to stare at her like this if she didnt refer to him as Brother Xunzhou. For some reason, Lin Shanchu opened her mouth. Brother Xunzhou. The corners of Huo Xunzhous eyes lifted with a faint smile. He looked very satisfied. Tang Qidai frowned. Lin Shanchu was really amazing. How was she able to hook up with Huo Xunzhou? She looked at Lu Shiyuans darkened face and smiled without saying anything. Shanshan, since youre here, why dont you apany Brother Shiyuan to the party? After all, youre brother Shiyuans fiance. Tang Qidais words were indirectly criticizing Lin Shanchu for being in an affair with Huo Xunzhou as Lu Shiyuans fiance. As expected, Lu Shiyuans expression darkened even more. The people around who were watching the show also began to whisper about Lin Shanchus faults. Lin Shanchu smiled and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her beautiful neck. Every move she made was flirtatious. Her expression, actions, and temperament showed that she was very different from her usual self. It was as if she had be apletely different person. Its a pity that he never cares about his actual fiance. Otherwise, why would hee to the party without me? Tang Qidai had garnered all of Lu Shiyuans love, yet she still wanted to cast herself off. In your dreams! She mustbel Tang Qidai as the mistress no matter what! Lin Shanchu turned around and leaned into Huo Xunzhous ear to ask, Are we going in now? Huo Xunzhou didnt say anything. He only nodded slightly. Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou in. The crowd that was originally watching also dispersed because of their departure. Compared to the endless drama of love and hatred between Lu Shiyuan, Tang Qidai, and Lin Shanchu, they were more interested in Huo Xunzhou, who had suddenly appeared. Brother Shiyuan, dont be angry. Shanshan and Huo Xunzhou Tang Qidai soothed in a soft voice. I dont think its the kind of rtionship were thinking of. Lu Shiyuans expression was twisted into an ugly mask, but when he was talking to Tang Qidai, his tone softened. Dont speak up for her. I know very well what kind of person she is. Seriously, that Shanshan is You treat her so well, and yet she still wants to cancel the engagement. Could it be that she and Huo Xunzhou As Tang Qidai spoke, she noticed that Lu Shiyuans expression had turned cold again. A smug smile shed across her eyes. They entered the party. Lin Shanchu finally found a chance to thank Huo Xunzhou. Thank you, she said. Huo Xunzhou held a ss of wine in his hand and did not respond. His expression was so indifferent that no one could tell what he was feeling. But Lin Shanchu knew that he had heard it. This was the second time he had helped her. As the female lead of a sadistic novel, she was meant to be weak and ipetent to the point that everyone could step on her. He was the only one who had helped her. No need to thank me, Huo Xunzhou suddenly said. A puzzled expression appeared on Lin Shanchus face. I didnt help you with anything, and no one can help you. He looked at her deeply, his maic voice low and powerful. Except for yourself. His alluring eyes were filled with insight and an imperceptible pity. He saw through Lin Shanchus difficult situation. She had her own reasons for falling into such a state. However, this was not her fault. So do you believe that I want to destroy Lu Shiyuan now? Lin Shanchus eyes lit up. In order to make it more convenient to talk to him, she squatted down in front of him. She leaned forward, not noticing that the cor of her dress was slightly open. Huo Xunzhou looked away. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and asked, Then, are you willing to cooperate with me? Huo Xunzhou turned around and quickly looked away. Stand up and talk. Lin Shanchu seemed to have sensed something. She looked down and quickly stood up. Then, she looked at him expectantly with bright eyes. Huo Xunzhou replied coldly and firmly, I wont work with you. Lin Shanchus eyes darkened. Why? She pursed her lips in disappointment. Huo Xunzhou looked at her, thinking that she looked like a cat. A cat with drooping ears, no less. She was docile and pitiful. Huo Xunzhou exined patiently, You want to take revenge on Lu Shiyuan and I want to do business. Our goals are not the same. Lin Shanchu was silent for a long time. I get it. It was Huo Xunzhous freedom to decide whether he wanted to work with her or not. She could vaguely feel that the in-depth reason why Huo Xunzhou was unwilling to cooperate with her was that he wanted to win against Lu Shiyuan in a more noble way. Huo Xunzhou was a man of high status, after all. He should not be hanging out with her. Huo Xunzhous main purpose for attending the party was not to make friends. It was to make aeback. He returned to the publics view with another identity. Therefore, Huo Xunzhou left halfway through the party. Lin Shanchu came with him, so it was natural for her to leave with him. As soon as they left the hotel, they were surrounded by reporters. Mr. Huo, do you have any thoughts on making aeback? May I ask what youve been up to this year? Huo Xunzhou was once famous in the entertainment industry. It was normal for reporters toe after the news of his appearance at the cocktail party. Despite having made mental preparations beforehand, Lin Shanchu couldnt help but be surprised the moment she saw hordes of reporters around them. Even with the security guards leading the way, Lin Shanchu still pushed Huo Xunzhou very slowly. The reporters questions revolved around Huo Xunzhous potentialeback and his physical condition. Someone suddenly asked, Mr. Huo, can you tell me about your rtionship with Lin Shanchu? Huo Xunzhou, who had not answered any questions the whole time, suddenly gestured for Lin Shanchu to stop. Shes my teachers daughter, he said into the microphone. After a brief silence, the scene suddenly became heated. So, youre friends with Ms. Lin? As far as I know, Ms. Lins parents passed away a long time ago Lin Shanchu, who was standing behind Huo Xunzhou, was still in a state of confusion when she heard Huo Xunzhous reply. Her mother was my kindergarten teacher. She had helped me a lot in the past. Huo Xunzhou was so popr back then that his family background had long been exposed. It was said that he became an orphan at a very young age and had a hard time when he was young. Fortunately, he waster adopted. After that, Huo Xunzhou did not answer any more questions from the reporters. Lin Shanchu remembered the original novel mentioning that his parents had opened a kindergarten before they got into the business partnership with the Lu family. Her mother would take her along whenever she taught sses. However, she was too young at that time and could not remember anything. Huo Xunzhou was four years older than her. In other words, Huo Xunzhous im that they were kindergarten ssmates that day at the hospital was not a random excuse. Lin Shanchu was shocked. She actually had such a connection with a character like Huo Xunzhou! She even felt overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 In the car, Lin Shanchu was still thinking about this matter. Li Mo, drive Ms. Lin home first. It was not until Huo Xunzhous voice rang that Lin Shanchu regained her senses. The drivers cold voice drifted from the front row. Miss Lin, where do you live? Lin Shanchu decided to ept the nice gesture. She then told Li Mo the address of the hotel. Li Mo looked at her in surprise. It was as if everyone had assumed that she should be staying at the Lu residence. At the entrance of the hotel. When Lin Shanchu got out of the car and closed the door behind her, she realized that Huo Xunzhou was looking at her. It looked like he had something to say to her. What is it, Mr. Huo? Lin Shanchu asked. Huo Xunzhou was silent for a moment. Be careful when you go out during this period of time. He had shown his face at the reception today, and Lin Shanchu was his femalepanion. In the following period of time, the paparazzi would definitely think of ways to interview her and secretly take pictures of her. Lin Shanchu immediately understood what he meant. This might be a good thing for me. She held onto the car door, her red dress swaying in the night breeze. The smile on her face was extraordinarily flirtatious. Huo Xunzhou only retracted his gaze after Lin Shanchus figure disappeared. Li Mo looked at him through the rearview mirror with aplicated expression. Big brother, do you like this kind of devilish woman? If you dont want to drive for me, just say so, Huo Xunzhou replied. Of course not! Li Mo immediately started the car obediently. The car had not gone far when Li Mo suddenly thought of something. He asked, Big brother, why did you suddenly want to attend the party? Didnt you n to wait a little longer? I dont know. Huo Xunzhou turned to look out the window. Huh? Li Mo was shocked. He found it difficult to believe that these words came from Huo Xunzhous mouth. He was meticulous and cautious. How could there be anything he didnt know? Huo Xunzhous hands were crossed on his knees as he looked out the window with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He was telling Li Mo the truth. He didnt know why he was here either. This was not part of his n. It was as if an invisible force was guiding him to attend this cocktail party. Lin Shanchu walked into the hotel, ying with her phone as she walked. When she opened Weibo, she was stuck for a while before she was able to enter the homepage. The homepage rmendations were all rted to Huo Xunzhou. She guessed that Huo Xunzhou had something to do with the Weibog. As expected of Huo Xunzhous poprity. He had only shown his face, and yet Weibos servers copsed because of it. The trending list was upied by Huo Xunzhou. #Huo Xunzhou appears at the cocktail party in a wheelchair #viral #Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu #hot #Huo Xunzhous teacher #The breathtaking god of the entertainment industry has returned As someone with low poprity, Lin Shanchu was lucky enough to be on the trending list as well. This was probably the peak of her career so far. Lin Shanchu scrolled back and saw Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai trending at the end of the list. #Tang Qidai apanies Lu Shiyuan to a cocktail party How could these two peoplepare to the influence of the breathtaking god, known as the best actor in the entertainment industry? Lin Shanchu returned to her Weibo homepage and found that the number of fans she had, which was previously four digits, now rose to five digits. And it was still rising rapidly. Every time she refreshed the page, the number of her fans would increase. Lin Shanchu was extremely envious. When would she be as famous as Huo Xunzhou? Ms. Lin. Lin Shanchu looked up and saw the hotel manager standing in front of her. Is there something wrong? She asked. Ms. Lin, our hotel received a notice at thest minute that we need to go through some changes. We cant receive guests for the time being. Please check out and find another ce to stay. Lin Shanchu looked at the newly renovated lobby. What sort of changes? The managers eyes flickered. I dont know the exact details, but dont worry. Well give you a full refund. The moment she heard this, Lin Shanchu already understood what was going on. The so-called changes were a lie. Lu Shiyuan was the one who was messing around. He had ordered her to apologize to Tang Qidai before nightfall. She didnt do as he said. Hence, Lu Shiyuan was now dealing with her. Lin Shanchu replied coldly, Got it. Wheres my stuff? The manager immediately brought her case over. Ms. Lin, you can check the inventory. If there arent any mistakes, well deal with the checkout procedure right now. Lightning and thunder were present as soon as Lin Shanchu left the hotel. Heavy rain poured down from the sky. The system, which hadnt said much the whole night, finally reared its head. It said, [Lu Shiyuan has informed all the hotels in Xu City to turn you away. What do you n to do now?] Lin Shanchu stared at the rain. Theres nothing else I can do now except to follow the plot. [Are you not going to fight back?] the system asked. Lin Shanchu asked, Does a system like you have split personalities? You advised me to follow the plot, but now that Im going to do that, you actually want me to fight back? The system replied, [Im just afraid that you might cause trouble.] Lin Shanchu replied, Huo Xunzhou is not working with me. What trouble can I cause? The system agreed, [Thats true.] Lin Shanchu took a taxi and returned to the Lu manor. Along the way, she kept haggling with the system. Lin Shanchu argued, Ive already followed the plot and returned to the Lu manor. Shouldnt I be rewarded? The system replied, [Well talk more after youve returned.] They arrived at the entrance of the Lu family home. Lin Shanchu demanded, Reward, please. The system relented. [One-time painless card x1.] Lin Shanchu asked, Whats the function of this card? The system replied, [Its literally the name. Lin Shanchu was about to continue asking when she heard the system say, [Lu Shiyuan ising downstairs right now.] Only then did she realize that she had already entered the hall. Lu Shiyuan wasing down from upstairs. When he saw Lin Shanchu, there was a sh of joy in his eyes, but it was quickly reced by anger. Turns out you still know when toe back! I have no choice. After all, President Lu has so much power and influence. If I donte back, Ill have to sleep on the streets, Lin Shanchu retorted coldly. If it was the Lin Shanchu of the past, she would have apologized to him meekly by now. Lu Shiyuan walked up to her with a dark expression. Why didnt you ask that cripple Huo Xunzhou to take you in? Is he already tired of toying with you? When she heard Huo Xunzhous namee out of Lu Shiyuans mouth, Lin Shanchu felt disgusted for on Huo Xunzhous behalf. Huo Xunzhou isnt as filthy as you! Or perhaps are you saying that hes not good enough in bed? Lu Shiyuans voice was frighteningly soft. It was like a venomous snake licking her skin, making Lin Shanchus hairs stand on their ends. She really wanted to run, but she realized that her body was stiff and that she couldnt move. She began to tremble uncontrobly as well. After all these years, her fear of Lu Shiyuan had caused her body to react instinctively. Lin Shanchu clenched her fists. Her nails scratched against her palms forcefully and drew blood as a way to force herself not to be afraid and retreat. Even if Huo Xunzhou is sexually inept, there are still people who love him for who he is. Youre just a worm in the gutter; you dont deserve anyones love! Almost immediately, Lu Shiyuan raised his palm. Lin Shanchu couldnt move her body. She could only stare at him with wide eyes. She suddenly understood the function of the painless card that the system had rewarded her with. Thus, she called out to the system in her mind. Use the painless experience card! p! Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Lu Shiyuan was in a state of fury. He had used almost all his strength in this p. Lin Shanchu fell to the ground after getting struck. Half of her face swelled up immediately. Lu Shiyuan looked at his own hand. A trace of regret shed across his face. He squatted down and reached out to pull Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu avoided his hand with a look of disgust. Dont touch me! It was always like this in the past. After Lu Shiyuan did something to let her down orid a hand on her, he would have a look of regret and guilt. Everything he showed was just crocodile tears. It was impossible for him to change anything. As expected, Lu Shiyuans expression turned cold again in the next second. If you refuse to let me touch you, then who else has the right to do so? Lin Shanchu was drenched by the rain when she entered the mansion. Her thin red dress clung to her skin, and her exquisite curves could be seen at a nce. Lu Shiyuans gaze darkened. He reached out and grabbed her chin. His voice became hoarse. Im touching you no matter what! The systems mechanical voice sounded in Lin Shanchus mind. [You have activated the mission to kiss the male lead. You will be rewarded once the mission ispleted.] Lu Shiyuan leaned over, not realizing that his eyes were filled with infatuation. With a poker face, Lin Shanchu reached out and took off one of her high heels. Wham! The heel of her shoe struck Lu Shiyuan forcefully. The system was speechless. Stunned by the hit, Lu Shiyuan reached out to touch his head. As a result, his hand was covered in blood. He looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. Shanshan Lin Shanchu pushed him away. Go seek out Tang Qidai if youre horny. Her eyes were filled with disgust as she red at him. It was as if he was a piece of trash in her eyes. Dont you dare regret this! Lu Shiyuan flew into a rage out of humiliation. Lin Shanchu took off the other shoe and stood up barefooted. She carried the high heels and the case as she went upstairs without looking back. The elderly butler rushed up from behind in a hurry. Young master! Someone, call the doctor! Lin Shanchu entered her room. After locking the door, she threw away her high heels and the case, walked to the window, and lifted the curtains to look outside. The window faced the main entrance. At the bottom floor, the butler led arge group of servants in pursuit of Lu Shiyuan in an attempt to stop him from leaving and have him wait for the doctor at home instead. In the end, Lu Shiyuan drove away with a bloodied head. He must have gone to seek out Tang Qidai. The road was slippery on rainy days. She hoped that Lu Shiyuan would die in a car ident. [The male lead wont die so easily,] the systemmented. Lin Shanchu put down the curtain. Are there rewards that consist of curse-cing cards and things simr to those? What sort of missions do I need toplete in order to earn those rewards? The system replied, [Nope!] Why dont you have rewards like those? Lin Shanchu questioned in disdain. The system was speechless. This useless system was definitely unreliable. She still had to rely on herself in the end. The reason why she decided to return to Lu Manor was so that she could take Lu Shiyuans life. On the first day of her return, she ended up bashing Lu Shiyuans head in. It was a good start. Lin Shanchu woke up from an amazing dream that involved Lu Shiyuans fatal ident. The sky had already cleared up. There were no traces ofst nights storm. Her phone ran out of battery and ended up shutting down. She charged her phone and went into the bathroom to wash up. Half of her face was badly swollen after being hit by Lu Shiyuan, but it didnt hurt at all because she had used the painless card. She would have to ice the areater. When she was done freshening up, her phone kept vibrating. Countless missed calls and text messages popped up on the screen. [B*tch, I hope your mom dies!] [Youre not worthy of bing our idols ve!] [If you keep bothering Zhouzhou, Ill definitely kill you!] [your entire bloodline!] [Get the hell out of the entertainment industry, you diva!] Countless text messages containing insults and threats came flooding in. Another unknown number called her as well. Hello? The person on the other end didnt seem to expect Lin Shanchu to pick up the call. They were stunned for a moment. Are you here to scold me? Lin Shanchu reminded her kindly. Yes Tell me what happened. Lin Shanchus tone was calm, so the person on the other end of the phone inexplicably followed her lead. Someone posted a video of the conversation between you and Tang Qidai at the entrance of the cocktail partyst night. Her fans imed that she treated you as a good friend, but you deliberately humiliated her and used her of being a mistress Allow me to interject for a bit. Are you not one of Tang Qidais fans? No, Im a fan of Huo Xunzhou. No wonder, Lin Shanchu said. Huh? No wonder youre so well-mannered. The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little embarrassed. People searched you up and leaked your phone number. Although there are rumors online that youre a two-timing wench by having an engagement with Lu Shiyuan and seducing Huo Xunzhou at the same time, I dont want to scold you as I have yet to see solid evidence. I was just trying to call this number to see if it works Lin Shanchu found the girl slightly interesting. I see. Then are you and Huo Xunzhou in a rtionship? Actually, we just met at the hospital two days ago. After that, I apanied him to a cocktail party. He wasnt the one who issued the invite to me. It was aplete coincidence. Oh Are you sick? Lin Shanchu was stunned. People would always be touched by the sudden concern disyed by strangers. Thank you for your concern. I still have things to do, so lets end the call here. Goodbye. After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu opened Weibo. Sure enough, her name was stered at the top of the trending list. When she tapped on the link, thements there were all bashing her. Her Weibo was also med by theizens. Even her inbox was filled with angry messages. [Daidai treats you as a friend, and yet you choose to humiliate her in public. You must be jealous that shes more popr than you! Youre just trash who doesnt work hard and only knows how to harm others!] [Stay away from our idol, okay?] [Im begging you right now! Our idol is already in this state. Can you be a decent human being and just let him go?] [Tang Qidai is such a wonderful person! How could you bear to hurt her?] [Daidai kept speaking up for you during the interview, but all you do is keep backstabbing her! You dont deserve to be her friend at all!] [Tramp Lin, youll burn through the Earths core sooner orter!] Inparison, Huo Xunzhous fans posted politements instead. The fans truly followed their idols personality. Looking at the number of fans that had increased overnight, Lin Shanchu felt quiteplicated on the inside. Infamy was still a type of fame, after all. She posted on Weibo: Actor Lin Shanchu: [Livestream at 10 oclock.] Then, she turned off her phone and charged it. There was still an hour left. She could still have breakfast and put on some makeup. When the elderly butler saw Lin Shanchuing downstairs, he quickly greeted her. Good morning, Ms. Lin. Good morning, Grandpa Xu. The old butlers surname was Xu. He had been the Lu familys butler for decades and had watched Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan grow up. Lin Shanchu walked into the dining room. Butler Xu quickly ordered the servants to prepare breakfast. After breakfast, Lin Shanchu looked at Butler Xu, who hesitated to speak up the whole time while standing next to her. Grandpa Xu, just say whatever thats on your mind. Ms. Lin, you grew up with the young master, Butler Xu said with a kind expression. You two used to be so close with each other when you were kids. Hes just a little confused now. Hell understand your feelings sooner orter Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Grandpa Xu, Lin Shanchu interrupted him. Look at my face. Do you think Lu Shiyuan is just confused? He didnt hit you, so you cant feel the pain. Butler Xu found it difficult to refute after hearing her words. Although she had used a painless card, this was not the first time. In Lu Shiyuans heart, her value was lesser than that of a dog. She got up to grab an ice pack and went upstairs to her room. Butler Xu looked at Lin Shanchus back as she went upstairs and fell into deep thought. Ms. Lin had always been gentle and submissive. What was wrong with her today? The ice pack was not very effective since her face remained swollen. After putting on makeup, Lin Shanchu let down the hair on the swollen side of her face. When it was almost ten oclock, Lin Shanchu turned on her phone. There were still countless text messages and missed calls. Without even looking at them, she took out her SIM card, connected to the WiFi, and opened Weibo. The Weibo post that she had posted an hour ago about her live broadcast had already been forwarded over 10,000 times. Of course, none of thements were kind to her. Lin Shanchu didnt care. She didnt care about what others thought of her. She only wanted Lu Shiyuan to die. At ten oclock sharp, she started the livestream and posted the link to Weibo. Soon, people entered the live broadcast room. The first group ofizens came in and wasted no time scolding her. [F*ck you!] [Why is this live broadcast room empty? Oh, thats because the host isnt a human being.] [Shes using Tang Qidai and Huo Xunzhous poprity to do a livestream. Shes definitely crazy for fame] Lin Shanchu leaned back in her chairzily as she read thements and replied to them at the same time. Its true that my parents have been dead for many years. Did you scold me for being inhuman? Hey, the one named Daidais Little Tail, Ive snapped a screenshot of thisment and sent it to Daidais moderating forum. Its true that I want to be famous, but Im leeching off Lu Shiyuans poprity right now. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she picked up the phone and turned it around. There you go. This is Lu Shiyuans study. Theizens quickly postedments. [Holy sh*t! Poverty has limited my imagination!] [Is this President Lus study?] [Pfft! Why are you so direct about leeching off your fiancs poprity?] [Why do I feel that the host is kind of cute today?] [Since its a weekend today, is President Lu not at home?] [Lu Shiyuan and Daidai are good friends! What right do you have to ride on his poprity?] Lin Shanchu looked at thestment and could not help but sympathize with Tang Qidai for a second. With such fans, even if Tang Qidai did not screw up, she would get screwed over on the spot sooner orter. Lin Shanchu supported her chin with one hand and said slowly, Thats because Lu Shiyuan is my fianc. Since Lu Shiyuan didnt want to break off the engagement with her, she naturally had to let him y the role of her fianc. There were more and more people entering the live broadcast room. The legitimate onlookers swarmed in and started mocking Tang Qidais fans. [Hahaha! are Tang Qidais fans this ignorant?] [Theyve truly opened our eyes, everyone!] [Guys,e over and look! These are all Tang Qidais fans!] [What kind of iron-like bond do Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan have? Even his fiance has to make way for her!] [Lets be honest. As long as Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu dont cancel their engagement to the public, anyone who stands between them is a third wheel.] [No way. Dont tell me that there are people who seriously think tonic friendships between men and women do exist.] Tang Qidai had made her debut in the past by adapting to the persona of a rich and fragile socialite. Coupled with the love of her so-called friend, Lu Shiyuan, she quickly became popr. Her persona was definitely way better than her actual film work. As such, most of her fans were young and tended to not think twice about their words. They often left idioticments everywhere and offended many celebrities in the industry. However, since Lu Shiyuan backed Tang Qidai up, no one dared to say anything. As for Lin Shanchu the official fiance, she didnt have much sway on her own, so Tang Qidai used her as a stepping stone to climb to the top. Naturally, Tang Qidais fans would not admit defeat so easily. [They must be the bots hired by the host!] [It has been confirmed that the host is envious of Daidai!] [Right? The host is jealous of the friendship between Daidai and her fianc! Thats why she wants to harm Daidai!] [Cant a man make new friends after having a girlfriend?] [I was wondering why she suddenly wanted to start a livestream!] [Cant the host be a decent human being?] [The host is pure evil! She must have cursed her parents to death with her existence!] At first, Lin Shanchu had a faint smile curled on her lips. When she saw thestment, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. Her expression became frosty immediately. To theizen named I Love Daidai So Much, I live in a vi on the mountainside at Qingxi Bay. Come over and say this in front of me right now. After Lin Shanchu awakened, all she wanted to do was to screw Lu Shiyuan over. Her entire aura had changed at that moment. When she put on a cold expression, she gave off the impression that she was looking down on everything in the world. The onlookers started getting excited. [Yo I Love Daidai So Much, hurry up and go meet with Lin Shanchu!] [Only keyboard warriors fight with their keyboards. Youre a real hero if you dare to fight the host in person.] [Are you scared? Tang Qidais fans sure are good for nothing!] [Am I the only one who thinks that Lin Shanchu looks super cool?] Ahh! Youre not the only one! Shes literally killing me right now! I love badass women so much!] [I Love Daidai So Much is really too much. At the end of the day, were all strangers to the host. Why is it necessary for us to harbor so much malice toward her? Those who dont know her would think that the host had ughtered theizens whole family.] Thestment caught Lin Shanchus attention. Thementers ID was named Sugar Ginger. Just by looking at the ID, Lin Shanchu felt that the owner was a cute girl. Netizens startedmenting. [Woah! Sugars here!] [No, her name is Ginger. Are you here for the gossip as well?] [You havent uploaded any videos recently, Ginger. What are you busy with?] Sugar Ginger posted, [Ill upload a new video soon.] Lin Shanchu quietly searched on the inte. She found out that Sugar Ginger was a crafts-and-arts blogger with a wealthy background. Not only was she financially blessed, but she was also a blogger with high-quality videos. When Lin Shanchu was done with the search, she noticed Sugar Gingerstest message. [Dont talk about me in other peoples live broadcast rooms. Ill see you guys in my next video.] Lin Shanchus lips curved up slightly. Then, she piped up, Since Im free, I might as well host a lucky draw for everyone. She got up and looked around Lu Shiyuans study with her phone. Let me know what item has caught your eye and Ill make it the prize for the lucky draw. Theizens were shocked. [Seriously? This woman is crazy!] [The price of the normal-looking pen holder on the desk is equivalent to my living expenses for a year] [Isnt the vase on the shelf an item that Lu Shiyuan bought from an auction thats worth 30 million dors? It even made the news!] [Pick that vase!] [That vase!] Lin Shanchu put down the phone stand. Then, she stood on her tippy toes to grab the vase. Someone on the screen sighed. [Her legs are so straight and beautiful.] [Her waist is so slim!] [Lu Shiyuan has no idea how lucky he is!] [Why is the vase the prize? You should make yourself the prize of the lucky draw!] Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Nan Mu had an appointment with Huo Xunzhou today. When Huo Xunzhou was pushed into the room by Li Mo, he saw Nan Mu staring at the screen so intently that his eyes were about to fall out. When Nan Mu heard themotion, he didnt even raise his head. Youre here. Huo Xunzhou could not help but feel curious. What are you watching? A lucky draw, Nan Mu replied. Are you this poor that you need to use the lucky draw to improve your life? Li Mo frowned. Nan Mu lifted his head wordlessly. An antique vase worth 30 million dors can seriously improve my life, thats for sure. Li Mo eximed, I need to watch it! He then took a look and snatched Nan Mus phone over to Huo Xunzhou. Big brother, isnt this the seductive woman fromst night? Lin Shanchu? Almost immediately, Huo Xunzhou turned his head to look at the phone screen. Nan Mu pulled off his earphones and broadcasted the sounds from the speaker. Is everyone ready? Lin Shanchus voice came from the phone. She sounded ratherzy, and the tone was light and soft. It was an extremely pleasant voice to hear. Im going to bombard the screen withments. Nan Mu quickly snatched the phone away. Li Mo asked, Is it starting now? Im about to enter the live broadcast room! The two people beside Huo Xunzhou spammed thements in hopes that they would win the lucky draw. Huo Xunzhou was silent for two seconds before he turned on his phone. He opened Weibo, found Lin Shanchus home page, and clicked on the livestream link. The messages in the live broadcast room flew by quickly. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and pointed her phone at the camera. Three, two, one Ive snapped a screenshot! [Its Sugar!] [The kind-hearted and pretty Sugar!] [Sugar won the lucky draw!] [Ginger has extremely good luck!] Lin Shanchu took a look at the screenshot. Sure enough, the arts-and-crafts blogger, Sugar Ginger, was the one who won the lucky draw. Congrattions, Sugar Ginger. Hit me up in my inbox so that we can discuss the prize-giving details. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she sawments on the screen suggesting that the prize should be given during a livestream. Well, it depends on Sugar Gingers consent. She didnt care anyway. Aizen who knew Sugar Ginger very wellmented, [Sugar has social anxiety. She never shows her face in her videos.] [I can wear a mask,] Sugar Ginger replied. Alright, then. We can host another livestream when its time to give away the prize, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was slightly better than before. At this moment, someone remarked, [I think I just saw Huo Xunzhou join the livestream.] When new viewers entered the live broadcast room, their IDs would be disyed. Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw manyizens saying that they had seen Huo Xunzhous name as well. Nan Mu and Li Mo, who had not won the lucky draw, were dejected. When they saw the message, they lifted their heads to look at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was calmly typing on the screen. He only sent two words. [Hello, everyone.] Xunzhou, what are you trying to do? Nan Mu was confused. Huo Xunzhou replied, Im just greeting everyone. Its only been one night, and yet youve gotten yourself involved with Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidai. Dont you think the situations chaotic enough? Could it really be that you have feelings for Lin Shanchu? Nan Mu felt that something was amiss. I think Big Brother is interested in that woman, Li Mo remarked. She has a name, Huo Xunzhou said. Nan Mu was speechless. Is Lin Shanchus name the most important thing now? Li Mo raised his hand. I can testify that Big Brother has feelings for Lin Shanchu. After she got out of the carst night, he looked at her back for a long time. Nan Mu was bbergasted to hear that. Meanwhile, Huo Xunzhou was staring at the part of Lin Shanchus face which was covered by her hair. Xunzhou, say something, Nan Mu said. Huo Xunzhou remained silent. He felt that there was something wrong with Lin Shanchus face. Lin Shanchu looked at the words Hello, everyone that Huo Xunzhou had typed on the screen, feeling slightly surprised. Before Huo Xunzhou retired from the industry, he had done a livestream to promote his movie. Hence, he had registered for a verified ount. Theizens clicked on his ounts main page. [Holy sh*t! It really is Huo Xunzhou!] Since Huo Xunzhou posted those words to Lin Shanchus live broadcast room, that meant he was supporting her. It also showed that he and Lin Shanchu were indeed friends. Theizens began to ask about the rtionship between Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou had helped Lin Shanchu before, so her attitude became serious when it came to things rted to him. Ive only just met him recently, so were not really that close. My mother passed away more than ten years ago, but I didnt expect him to still remember her. Theizens started to release shout outs to I Love Daidai So Much once again. [Only people without mothers would attack other peoples wounds like this.] [What a terribly amazing person to be able to scold the daughter of Huo Xunzhous beloved teacher for cursing her parents to death!] [As expected, the fans learn from their idol. I learned something new today.] [Tang Qidai is definitely not a good person. Mark my words; shell definitely get screwed over sooner orter.] After Huo Xunzhou made his appearance, his fans quieted down and did not make any noise in the live broadcast room. Tang Qidais fans and theizens were the ones hurling insults at each other. Lin Shanchus purpose of hosting a livestream had been achieved. It was to make her presence known and to make Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai feel uneasy. After she went offline, theizens and Tang Qidais fans moved their battleground to Weibo. Weibos entertainment ranking list was very lively. #Huo Xunzhou appears in Lin Shanchus live broadcast room #Lin Shanchus livestream #Tang Qidais fans #Lucky draw for a 30 million dor vase #Lu Shiyuans study #Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, Tang Qidai Lin Shanchu walked out of Lu Shiyuans study with the antique vase that was worth 30 million dors. She happened to bump into Lu Shiyuan, who was walking in her direction. Youre back. Lin Shanchus tone was full of regret. It was a pity that he didnt die in a car ident. Lu Shiyuan blocked her way and snarled through gritted teeth, Are you seriously that incapable of withstanding loneliness? Are you talking about Huo Xunzhouing to my livestream to support me? Lin Shanchus smile did not reach her eyes. She casually searched for a photo of Tang Qidai snuggling in Lu Shiyuans arms. Then what do you call this? A b*tch and a b*stard? Lu Shiyuans eyes suddenly turned gentle. You still care about me. Lin Shanchu was very confused. As expected, the male lead of a sadistic novel was extremely idiotic. She turned around and walked in the other direction. However, she was too slow and got her arm grabbed by Lu Shiyuan instead. Just go and apologize to Qidai, and everything will be water under the bridge, okay? In her memory, the number of times Lu Shiyuan had spoken to her in such a nice tone could be counted on one hand. Lu Shiyuan, Im saying this for thest time. Ive never done anything to let your mother down, and Ive never done anything to hurt Tang Qidai! Lin Shanchus words made Lu Shiyuans slightly rxed expression harden. There was a mocking smile in Lin Shanchus eyes. But you never believed me. You dont even want to investigate the truth behind these matters! When I was six, my parents passed away. You held my hand and told me that you would always take care of me. Thats why I followed you to Lu Manor. But the person who hurt me the most after all these years has always been you! A look of struggle shed across Lu Shiyuans face. But theres no reason for Qidai to lie to me Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Lin Shanchu approached him with slow steps. Is that why you thought Im the only one whos capable of lying? Lu Shiyuans expression was hesitant. When she was young, she would cry when she did something wrong due to her timid nature. In the past few years, whenever she confronted him, she would be reduced to tears as well. He had always felt that the reason behind those tears was her fear and guilt of doing something wrong. However, whenever he asked her to apologize to Tang Qidai, she became very stubborn and refused to do so. After a few times, Lu Shiyuan started to get tired of her. As a result, he was even more biased toward Tang Qidai. Hence, no matter what happened, he would choose to believe in Tang Qidai and not Lin Shanchu. He had never doubted his own choice, but he felt guilty for no reason as he stared into Lin Shanchus clear, cold eyes. Was he really in the wrong the whole time? The sudden ringing of his phone interrupted his thoughts. He took a look at his phone and answered the call hurriedly. He even identally tapped on the speaker. Qidai, whats wrong? His tone was gentle yet nervous. Tang Qidai was so understanding. Something urgent must have happened for her to suddenly call him. Lin Shanchu heard Tang Qidais sobbing voice from the phone. Brother Shiyuan, can youe over? Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shanchu hesitantly before replying, Alright After hanging up the phone, he looked up at Lin Shanchu. She had a disdainful smile on her face, and her eyes were cold. He had never seen Lin Shanchu with such an expression. There was a trace of ruthlessness in that distant expression of hers. Another thought popped into his mind. They had grown up together, so he knew Lin Shanchus personality the best. She loved him so much that it was impossible for her to have a change of heart. Otherwise, she wouldnt have returned. Lu Shiyuan suppressed the uneasiness and guilt in his heart. Im going out for a while. Well talk about thister. Have a safe trip, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. She looked as gentle as before. Lu Shiyuan became more and more rxed. His tone gradually softened. Wait for my return. Lin Shanchu was still smiling. Lu Shiyuan started to feel that there was something wrong with that smile. However, he was still thinking about Tang Qidai, so he didnt dwell on it. Lin Shanchu stood in front of the window as usual and watched Lu Shiyuan drive away. Just now, she had given Lu Shiyuan onest chance. She had grown up with Lu Shiyuan, after all. He did treat her well when she was young. She thought that perhaps the plot forced Lu Shiyuan to always listen to Tang Qidai. That was why she wanted to have an open and honest talk with Lu Shiyuan. Now, it seemed that it was a waste of time. Lu Shiyuan was a stubborn, conceited, selfish, and irritable person. He only believed in what he was willing to believe. She still sincerely hoped that Lu Shiyuan would die outside. Otherwise, she would have to do it herself. Lin Shanchu went downstairs with the antique vase. The maids happened to be cleaning the living room. Help me find a gift box. I want a pretty one. While waiting for the servant to take the gift box, Lin Shanchu sent a private message to Sugar Ginger. Actress Lin Shanchu: [Hello. When are you free? Ill bring the vase over.] Sugar Ginger: [Lets meet somewhere tomorrow.] The other party replied within seconds, as if waiting for her reply. Actress Lin Shanchu: [Where do you want it to be?] Sugar Ginger: [Is Yong Shui Pavilion alright with you?] Yong Shui Pavilion was the top club in Xu City. It had a membership system, so regr people couldnt enter it. It was a symbol of identity and status. It seemed that Sugar Ginger really was a rich girl. After wrapping up the vase and returning to her room, Lin Shanchu logged onto Weibo to take a look. The lucky draw that she had hosted on her livestream was a popr topic. Other than a portion of Tang Qidais fans mocking her for putting on a show, there were also a fewizens who joined in to criticize her. [Money alwayses from a source. I refuse to believe that Lu Shiyuan would let Lin Shanchu offer a 30 million dor vase as the lucky draws prize. Ill sit here and wait for Lin Shanchu to revoke the prize!] [Yup. Lin Shanchu has always been a person who doesnt keep her word. She stood the film crew up and even made it to the trending list. Has everyone forgotten that incident?] [Dont tell me that someone really thinks that Lin Shanchu will give the vase to the winner!] [Judging from Lin Shanchus character, only idiots would believe her!] Lin Shanchu posted a thread on Weibo. Actress Lin Shanchu: [I will give away the prize on a livestream at tomorrow noon.] Lu Shiyuan did not return for the entire night. The next day. When it was almost noon, the hashtag #12 oclock started trending. The entire inte was waiting for Lin Shanchu to give away the prize on a livestream. Lin Shanchu rummaged through the closet incessantly, only to discover that it was filled with pastel-colored clothes. She frowned in disgust. After that, she grabbed a white dress. It was half past eleven when she arrived at Yong Shui Pavilion. Please show your membership card. The doorman stopped Lin Shanchu. How ironic. The fiance of Xu Citys top upstart, Lu Shiyuan, didnt even have her own membership card of Yong Shui Pavilion. Her parents had contributed greatly to the Lu Corporation, not to mention she was also the daughter of the Lu familys saviors. She had a good hand of cards, and yet she messed everything up, causing her to live such a wretched life. Ms. Lin? Lin Shanchu turned around with squinted eyes as she looked at Nan Mu. Mr. Nan. What a coincidence. Shall we go in together? Nan Mu nced at the doorman. A sh of understanding appeared in thetters eyes. Thank you. Lin Shanchu nodded slightly. The girl in a white dress had a faint smile on her face. Nan Mu felt rather chilly the moment Lin Shanchu shot a look at him. He touched his cold arm and thought of how he had tricked her into apanying Huo Xunzhou to the cocktail party. Then, he apologized to her awkwardly. Im sorry. I didnt mean to lie to you about the party. Its just that I was running out of time and it wasnt easy to find apatiblepanion Mhm. Lin Shanchus expression was calm, but Nan Mu felt even more embarrassed. Let me know if you need help with anything. Alright, she replied. Her voice and expression were warm and soft. There was no fault to be found. However, Nan Mu was inexplicably terrified. As soon as Nan Mu reached his floor, he quickly slipped away. He pushed the door open and said to Huo Xunzhou excitedly, Guess who I just saw? Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou did not even raise his head. How did you get it right on the first try? This isnt interesting at all. Nan Mu was disappointed. Lin Shanchu found the room number. She knocked on the door. Coming! The crisp voice of a young girl drifted from inside the room. The door was then opened. A girl in a traditional Chinese dress smiled. Youre here. She had delicate features and a bright smile. One could tell that she had been pampered since she was young. Lin Shanchu asked, So youre Sugar Ginger? Yup. My real name is Jiang Tang. Tang as in sugar? The Tang came from the word sea anemone. Lin Shanchu felt that this name sounded quite familiar. Youre even more beautiful in person than in the livestream. Jiang Tangs eyes sparkled. Lin Shanchu replied, Youre very beautiful too. Come in. Jiang Tang covered her face shyly. The two of them entered the room. Seeing that Lin Shanchu had set up the tripod and was ready to start the live broadcast, Jiang Tang put on her veil while speaking to her. Wait, someone still isnt here yet. Who are we waiting for? Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Jiang Tang smiled, revealing her cute little canine teeth. She said in a friendly tone, Youll find out once theyre here. Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Soon, there was a knock on the door. Lin Shanchu recognized the neer too. It was an authoritative and well-known antique appraisal expert. Jiang Tang, who seemed like a naive girl, was very meticulous, after all. Lin Shanchu started the livestream on time. The onlooker joined the livestream on time as well. [Im here! Im here!] [Sugars fans are gathered here!] [Is there anyone else whos mainly here because of Big Sisters looks?] [Ahhh! How could someone look this cool and gorgeous in a white dress?!] [Its true that she has amazing looks. Its a pity that shes not acting in any films.] Tang Qidais fans were also there to show off their idiocy. [Im here to watch the unpopr actress put on a show.] Theizens couldnt stand their antics anymore, so they sted back on the spot. [That prettydy is just broadcasting the whole prize-giving session! What does this have to do with that Tang woman?! To think that her fans feel the need to stick their noses into this matter just to prove that they exist! Seriously, the fans really resemble their idol! They just keep popping up everywhere!] The point was made very straightforwardly. Tang Qidais fans attacked theizen collectively. However, most of the people in the live broadcast room were just here to watch the show. The moment they entered, they saw Tang Qidais fans hurling insults at them, affecting the impression they had of them. Theizens were not happy with them, so they all took up their keyboards and joined the battle. There were too manyizens watching the show, and their words were slicker and more vicious than thest. As a result, Tang Qidais fans were quickly defeated. They left the live broadcasting room dejectedly and moved the battlefield to Weibo. Lin Shanchu didnt have the time to care about this. She had already handed the wrapped antique vase to Jiang Tang. Jiang Tang began to unwrap the gift. The atmosphere in the live broadcast room boiled over. [That gift box is so pretty! Can you host a lucky draw with the prize being the box?] [Its hard to tell if its a vase. It couldve been a fake vase for all we know!] Jiang Tang nced at the screen. Its my first time winning a prize, so Ive specifically invited an antique appraisal expert here. When theizens saw the expert appraiser, theirments flooded the screen again. [Woah! So its true that Sugar is a rich girl! I cant believe she actually invited Professor Lou here!] [Holy sh*t! Professor Lou isnt someone you can hire even if you have money!] [ I wonder if I should be envious of Lin Shanchu, who can afford to ce a 30 million dor antique vase as the prize of a lucky draw, or Sugar, who was able to hire Master Lou.] The appraisal expert was very professional. After appraising the vase and verifying it as the real deal, he made a detailed introduction about it. When the livestream was about to end, theizens that wanted more drama to erupt flooded the screen. [Those who said that Lin Shanchu wouldnt keep her word,e out and show your faces!] [You guys totally got pped in the face! She legitly gave away a 30 million dor vase in a lucky draw! Haha!] [This is the treatment that a legitimate fiance receives!] Those who had ridiculed Lin Shanchu before could not refute it and could only shut their mouths. Jiang Tang kept studying the vase while hugging it. Obviously, she liked it very much. She carefully put away the vase and said to Lin Shanchu, You havent eaten yet, right? Lets go downstairs. Ill treat you to lunch! Alright. Lin Shanchu had never dined at Yong Shui Pavilion before. Yong Shui Pavilion was a well-rounded entertainment club. There was an underground bar, a cafe, a restaurant, a banquet hall, guest rooms, and other facilities. Various entertainment venues were avable there. Jiang Tang had a cheerful and friendly personality. When they were eating, even if Lin Shanchu did not speak much, she could talk for a long time without feeling embarrassed. Finally, the topic turned to Lin Shanchu. Why arent you acting? Jiang Tang asked with wide eyes. Lin Shanchu paused in the midst of grabbing food for herself. Jiang Tang quickly rectified, Its just that youre a child star who got into Drama Academy of Xu City as the valedictorian back then. That means you really love performing, right? Not to mention that youre so pretty Lin Shanchu started out as a child star, was the valedictorian of her major, and had great looks and an amazing figure. If she wanted to pursue an acting career, she would have be famous a long time ago. Tang Qidai wouldnt pose as big of a threat to her if that were to happen. I do like to perform. Lin Shanchu lowered her gaze with a smile, hints of coldness apparent in her tone. That left Jiang Tang more confused than ever. Then why did you reject all the offers that you had previously epted? Lin Shanchus lips moved slightly before finally changing the topic. Your voice sounds familiar. Have we met before? She couldnt exin to a person she had just met for the first time that she wasnt the one who rejected the offers. Instead, someone else had rejected those offers for her. With Lu Shiyuan as her backer, Tang Qidai could do whatever she wanted in the entertainment industry. Lu Shiyuan did not care about Lin Shanchu, to begin with, so it was easy for Tang Qidai to snatch up on the acting deals that Lin Shanchu had fought so hard for. Jiang Tangs expression froze. She grew slightly flustered as she replied, Ive called you in the past As Huo Xunzhous fan? Lin Shanchu suddenly remembered. Jiang Tang nodded. So it was her. Lin Shanchu was about to speak. A familiar sharp pain attacked her, and her face instantly turned pale. Im going to the washroom. She stood up and walked quickly to the washroom. You Jiang Tang looked at Lin Shanchus silhouette as she walked away in a hurry, feeling a little annoyed at herself. Lin Shanchus expression had changed. Did she say something she shouldnt have just now? With every step Lin Shanchu took, her body felt like it was burning. She knew what she looked like whenever her cancer acted up. Curled up on the ground, she looked like a pitiful worm with her hands and feet cut off that could only be trampled on. It was both ironic and sad. She could only stumble forward. Just as she turned the corner, her vision darkened before she copsed forward. Before her consciousnesspletely disappeared, she heard the muffled sound of wheels rolling on the ground. The crackling sound came from far away. It gradually became clear. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a gorgeous chandelier. The decorations in the room looked quite familiar. It was a guest room in Yong Shui Pavilion. Previously, she and Jiang Tang had livestreamed in one of the guest rooms. Sounds of a ttering keyboard drifted into the room via the little gap of the door. She sat up and called out to the system in her mind. It had been ying dead ever since she had bashed Lu Shiyuans head. Who saved me? The sound of the keyboard outside stopped before the system could respond. CreakC The door was pushed open from the outside. The man stood by the door. He had wide shoulders and long legs. His beautiful and alluring eyes stared down at her. When he looked at her deeply, it seemed as if his eyes held affection for her. Unfortunately, it was just an illusion. Youre awake. Huo Xunzhous maic voice was as pleasant as ever. This is the third time youve helped me. The woman on the bed looked at him, her thin figure appearing a little lonely. Huo Xunzhous tone was emotionless. What illness do you have? When he carried her to the bed, he realized that she had lost a lot of weight. She may be severely ill, but she still lived her life like a normal person. A great deal of mental energy was needed to support her through life in this condition. He couldnt figure her out. To think that a cold and aloof man would be concerned about her illness. Lin Shanchu was moved for a second. But her heart was stone cold. She was like a target that got shot at with malicious intent from all directions. No one helped her. No one could help her. She could only kill her way out. Lin Shanchu didnt answer his question. Instead, she replied, Dont help me anymore in the future. Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Huo Xunzhou stood where he was and did not say anything. His lips were pursed into a straight line. When they first met in the hospital, she was like a cat in trouble. She was gentle and weak, but she was still actively seeking help. This time, she told him not to help her anymore. She had wrapped herself in a cocoon. It wasnt necessarily a butterfly that came out of a cocoon. Sometimes, it could be a moth. Like a moth flying into the fire, it would bring about its own destruction. She was extremely inclined to destroy herself. Lin Shanchu got out of bed and nodded slightly at him. Goodbye, Mr. Huo. When she brushed past him, a strong hand grabbed her arm. The mans voice was heard. I want to pay my respects to Mdm. Ning. Lin Shanchus mothers maiden name was Ning. My mother was buried in Xi Shan Cemetery, Lin Shanchu told him. Huo Xunzhou still did not let go. Is there anything else? Lin Shanchu asked. Ive never been to Xi Shan Cemetery. He meant for her to lead the way. He looked a little stubborn. Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment. Do you have time this weekend? Huo Xunzhou replied almost immediately, I do. Without waiting for Lin Shanchu to speak, Huo Xunzhou took out his phone and asked, Whats your number? Lin Shanchu hesitated for two seconds before exchanging phone numbers with him. When she left, she met Huo Xunzhous bodyguard and chauffeur, Li Mo, at the door. Ms. Lin, youre awake. He may have looked fierce, but his tone was sincere and warm. Yes, Lin Shanchu replied politely. Having stared at Lin Shanchus retreating figure in the distance, Li Mo entered and asked Huo Xunzhou, Big Brother, are you just going to let Ms. Lin go home by herself? Huo Xunzhou looked at him. His eyes were calm. Feeling a little confused, Li Mo mumbled, Dont you like her? What did Nan Mu tell you? Huo Xunzhou frowned. Li Mo had always been a man of few words. The fact that he was asking him this question meant that the talkative Nan Mu must have said something strange to him. He didnt tell me anything. I just have this feeling. Li Mo carefully nced at Huo Xunzhous expression. Seeing that there were no signs of anger, he boldly continued. The way you look at her is different from the way you look at other women. Whats the difference? Huo Xunzhou asked. When you look at other women, its like youre looking at a person. When you look at Ms. Lin, its like youre looking at a woman, Li Mo exined. These words sounded awkward. But Huo Xunzhou understood what he meant. At first nce, Lin Shanchu didnt seem to be anything special. However, upon closer inspection, one would find that she was full of contradictions and oddities. It was to the extent that he could not ignore it. After the livestream of the prize-giving session ended, there was a slight change in the direction of the discussion online. [I cant believe she really gave her a 30 million dor vase! Shes winning a lot of hearts here!] [Honestly speaking, Ive changed from a hater to a fan.] [Is Lin Shanchu really sane this whole time?] [Speaking of which, Lin Shanchu didnt seem to have done anything bad. Why are so many people criticizing her? Did they hate her just because it was popr to do so?] [What other reason could it be? Who here benefits the most from the nders that Lin Shanchu receives from the entire inte?] Theizens were all conspiracy theorists. Each one was more entric than the other when they started hinting about Tang Qidai. Tang Qidais fans came over when they heard the news. [Im going to protect my dear Daidai this time. This Lin nobody not only staged the whole show, but she even used my dear idol as a stepping stone just to rise to fame. Shes definitely inhuman.] [I dont know if other peoples money came this easily, but Lu Shiyuan must have obtained his money through easy routes. Otherwise, how could he let Lin Shanchu waste it so casually?] At first, it was merely a small squabble between theizens and Tang Qidais fans. However, Tang Qidais fans involved Jiang Tang in this mess. [Dont tell me no one noticed that Lin Shanchu was the one who bribed the arts-and-crafts blogger and staged the whole lucky draw together, right?] Jiang Tang decided to take things into her own hands. Sugar Ginger: [What does this have to do with your idol even if Lin Shanchu wants to make this a staged marketing ploy?] She had eight million followers on Weibo and was a big shot in the arts-and-crafts blogger circle. The fans attracted by her capabilities were very loyal. Theirbat power was not to be underestimated too. Those fans immediately started a war with Tang Qidais fans. [Our darling Sugar is super badass and has superb moral integrity! I often see people on Weibo saying that they are envious of Tang Qidais friendship with Lu Shiyuan. Seriously, that makes me nauseous. Those who im to be envious should try putting themselves in Lin Shanchus shoes!] [Thats right. Lin Shanchu is the real fiance here. Shes also well-educated and beautiful. Even if she wants to promote something, it has nothing to do with Tang Qidai!] [So what if its just a marketing ploy? Shes the one with money and talent! Theres no room for haters to spread their b*llsh*t around!] [Tang Qidais already on fire after getting into an affair with someone elses fiance. She doesnt know how to behave herself and even allows her fans to nder the legitimate fiance everywhere. Is she a Mary Sue?] Because of Jiang Tangs entrance, the discussion suddenly changed. Tang Qidais fan page was flooded withments calling her a Mary Sue with fans that kept butting into other peoples business just like her. People also kept spamming the fact that she was fooling around with someone elses fianc and so on. Tang Qidai had a job in the afternoon. After changing her clothes, she came out just in time for her manager to finish a call. We can go now. Tang Qidai threw her bag to her. The manager looked like she wanted to speak something. Daidai Are you leaving or not? Tang Qidai asked impatiently. They just called to say that the job has been canceled. Theres no need for us to go there today. Canceled?! Tang Qidai shrieked in disbelief, Im onlyte by half an hour! With my current status, whats wrong with making them wait for me for half an hour?! They were the ones who begged me to go! With Lu Shiyuans support, Tang Qidai could practically do whatever she wanted in this circle. She didnt care about ordinary people at all. Its not because yourete. They think that your bad reputation will affect the show. Dont worry, though. Thepany is already dealing with it Tang Qidai seemed to have understood something. She opened Weibo and found out that her fans were arguing with Jiang Tangs fans. Not only that but there were also people scolding her for being a mistress on her fan page. The manager then told her the whole story. Realizing what kind of idiotic things her fans had done, Tang Qidai screamed angrily, Those idiots! They only know how to cause trouble for me! But the most hateful person was still that woman, Lin Shanchu! If it wasnt for Lin Shanchus livestream, she wouldnt have been called a mistress. She also wouldnt have lost her job. She took out her phone and called Lu Shiyuan. The call soon went through. Tang Qidai squeezed out in a wronged tone, Brother Shiyuan, Shanshan still doesnt believe that theres nothing between us Lin Shanchu left Yong Shui Pavilion. As soon as she got in the car, she received a call from Lu Shiyuan. The first thing he did was to question her. You caused Qidai to lose her job. How do you n on dealing with this matter? What does her loss have anything to do with me? Lu Shiyuan took a deep breath as patiently as he could before replying, You really havent changed at all. You still dont know how to repent! Lin Shanchu saw a pharmacy not far away. Her reply came out slow. Lets talk when we meet up with each other. Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Perhaps it was due to Lin Shanchus calm tone that Lu Shiyuan was able to suppress his temper a little. Lets have dinner together tonight. Go ahead and invite Qidai. The three of us should have a good chat. Alright. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone. Sir, can you wait for me? I want to buy some medicine. At night. When Lu Shiyuan returned home with Tang Qidai, Lin Shanchu was already sitting at the dining table. The servants had prepared a scrumptious meal on the table. There was an open bottle of wine on it as well. Lu Shiyuans head was still bandaged up. Tang Qidai walked beside him and smiled as she spoke to him. He would reply to her from time to time with a calm expression. The scene looked very harmonious. If they were to be together like this, it would be fine. But they didnt. They just had to torture her. Youre here. Lin Shanchu looked at the two of them with a smile. It was still that familiar face, but Tang Qidai felt that Lin Shanchus smile was a little sinister. Tang Qidai suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and pretended to be friendly with Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, youve been waiting for a long time, havent you? Brother Shiyuan could havee back earlier, but he took a detour to pick me up. Hence, our arrival waste. He deliberately took a detour to pick her up. How considerate of him. Tang Qidai provoked her on purpose to make her angry and lose her temper so that Lu Shiyuan could loathe her more. But Lin Shanchus expression was surprisingly calm. Oh. Her nonchnt attitude made Tang Qidai feel like a clown. Lin Shanchu stood up and picked up the wine bottle as if nothing had happened. Let me pour you some wine. She poured Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai each a ss of wine. Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai looked at each other. They were a little surprised by Lin Shanchus attitude. Why arent you drinking? Are you afraid that I might poison you? She poured herself a ss as well. Her slender fair fingers gently swirled the wine ss, and her cat-like eyes squinted slightly because of her smile. Her natural charm was even more intoxicating than the wine in her hand. Lu Shiyuan was stunned by the visage. He was the male lead, so he was naturally attracted to Lin Shanchu. Tang Qidais expression changed the moment she noticed this. Brother Shiyuan, Shanshan is really good at joking. Dont you think so? Lu Shiyuan suddenly came back to his senses and brought the ss to his lips. Just as he was about to drink, his phone suddenly rang. When he reached for his phone, he identally knocked over the ss, thus spilling the wine. Oh dear, Brother Shiyuan When Tang Qidai stood up and tried to wipe the wine stains off Lu Shiyuans clothes, she identally knocked over her own ss of red wine. Having witnessed this scene, Lin Shanchus expression became cold. The system said, [ Ive said it before. The male lead wont die so easily. The same goes for the important supporting female lead too.] Its fine. Im going out to take a call, Lu Shiyuan said to Tang Qidaifortingly. After Lu Shiyuan left, Tang Qidai dropped her facade in front of Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu, do you seriously think that Brother Shiyuan will return to your side just because you pretend to be obedient? Stop dreaming! she sneered coldly. The reason why Lu Shiyuan still refuses to cancel his engagement with me is that youre too useless. Lin Shanchus voice was calm and disdainful. What? Tang Qidai asked. Lin Shanchu continued, Your acting skills are sh*tty, and you still cant handle Lu Shiyuan. Youve plotted so many times against me, and yet I still stand here. Tang Qidai, youre just a piece of trash who has achieved nothing in life! Lin Shanchu, who do you think youre scolding?! Tang Qidai was so angry that she stood up from her chair. Lin Shanchus face was calm. Im scolding you. Youre trash! Tang Qidai was so angry that she picked up the ss beside her and threw it at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu tilted her head. Smash! Qidai! The sound of the ss falling to the ground sounded almost at the same time as Lu Shiyuans voice. Tang Qidai pinched her thigh, making her eyes turn red. Im sorry, Brother Shiyuan. I was just too angry Shanshan Shanshan actually said that I deserve to be scolded! Tang Qidai was actually quite pretty since she was able to start her career in the entertainment industry. When she cried, she also looked very pitiful. Lu Shiyuan frowned and gently wiped Tang Qidais tears away. After sitting her down, he looked up at Lin Shanchu. Apologize to Qidai! He did not even ask Lin Shanchu anything. By then, he hadpletely believed Tang Qidais words. Lin Shanchu did not move. Lu Shiyuan was even more furious. Servants! The elderly butler immediately brought the servants over. Young master, what happened? Drag her here and have her apologize to Qidai! Tang Qidai snuggled up in Lu Shiyuans arms. She cast a smug look at Lin Shanchu from everyones blind spots. The elderly butler hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didnt dare to speak up for Lin Shanchu. He motioned for the servants to go grab her. Lin Shanchu rose to her feet immediately. She grabbed the bottle of red wine in front of her and smashed it against the corner of the table. Bam! The bottom of the bottle broke, and the red wine inside spilled all over the floor. She climbed up to the table nimbly, grabbed the bottleneck, and pointed at the people below her with the sharp ends directed at them. Her voice was as cold as frost. Come here if you dare! Her eyes, which were as gentle as a cats, were now as sharp as a de. They were filled with killing intent and a thirst for blood. She was like a goddess of war. No matter who stood in her way, be it mortal or god, she would strike them down immediately. The people present had been with Lin Shanchu for a long time and knew her persona like the back of their hands. The Lin Shanchu in front of them was so unfamiliar that she seemed to be another person. Tang Qidai, who was originally pleased with herself, was also shocked by Lin Shanchus aura. She leaned into Lu Shiyuans side. This time, it wasnt an act. She was truly afraid of her. Lu Shiyuans face darkened. I only asked you to apologize to Qidai. How dare you point this at me! His face was filled with the fury of his authority being challenged. Lin Shanchu jumped down from the dining table. She pushed Tang Qidai away from Lu Shiyuans embrace. Raising the bottle, she aimed it at Lu Shiyuans heart before stabbing down ruthlessly. The blood sttered on Lin Shanchus fair wrist became decorations. Those stains looked frighteningly beautiful on her. At the same time, it was eerie and terrifying. She was like a demon that had crawled out of hell. Ah! Tang Qidai shrieked in fear. Brother Shiyuan, are you alright? Lin Shanchu, are you crazy?! What are you standing around for? Hurry up and call the police! Lin Shanchu coldly nced at Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai shivered and hid behind Lu Shiyuan in fear. Lin Shanchu retracted her gaze and looked at Lu Shiyuan. If you dare to call the police, Ill sell all of my shares in the Lu Corporation to someone else. 15% of the shares was not a small amount. If it was sold to someone with ill intentions, it would cause a hugemotion in the Lu Corporation. Lu Shiyuan could only clench his teeth and take the loss. Dont call the police. His words were directed at Tang Qidai, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Shanchu. It was as if he could not wait to skin her alive and suck her bone marrow. Lin Shanchu returned to the table and put the bottle aside. She carefully tidied her clothes before speaking slowly. Grandpa Xu, please fix a new te of dinner for me. Chapter 17 Chapter 17 The servants at the side were shocked by Lin Shanchus words. They quickly broke out in a cold sweat. She had just stabbed Lu Shiyuan with a wine bottle until he was covered in blood, and yet she was still in the mood for dinner. This kind of psychological endurance was so strong that it was frightening. Tang Qidai apanied Lu Shiyuan to the hospital. After the servants cleaned up the messy dining room, they went to prepare dinner for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu remembered the system that had note out much recently.Hey idiot,e out. The system acknowledged her by responding, [Coming] Lin Shanchu asked, Why are you speaking like this? Did a virus infect you? The system replied, [No my condition is slightly unstable for now] Lin Shanchu was confused. The system borated, [Thats because your persona ispletely ruined so my condition worsens as well] Lin Shanchu didnt feel anything for the system at all. She even teased it mercilessly. Why are you this useless? The system was speechless. It quickly calmed down. [Youve already seen for yourself that the male lead wont die so easily. Do you want to change your method?] What method? Lin Shanchu asked. [For example, you can pretend to be submissive to the male lead, then expose Tang Qidai and make him regret his actions!] the system suggested. Lin Shanchu snorted. So you mean you want me to go through the plot of the original novel and let Lu Shiyuan humiliate and trample all over me? The system eximed, [Precisely!] Lin Shanchu sneered in response. Do I look like Im stupid? Why would I offer myself on a silver tter to him and let him abuse me? [Your persona] the system said feebly. Lin Shanchu interjected, Its either Lu Shiyuan or me. One of us must die! The system was speechless. She was crazy. She was seriously out of her mind. The female lead of a sadistic novel chose not to take the rtionship route. Instead, all she wanted to do was to inflict violence. The system was all torn up on the inside, but it was unable to divulge its feelings to anyone else. It felt that every code in its being was already numb. It could only ask humbly, [Why dont you just date someone?] Lin Shanchu just chuckled in response. The system didnt say anything. It didnt dare to guess the thoughts of the insane female lead. This useless system was really useless. Lin Shanchu did not expect it to help her out. She blocked it in her mind immediately. Lu Shiyuan did not return home that night. When the servants at home saw Lin Shanchu, they avoided her like she was poisonous. Human nature was despicable. They were good at bullying the weak. Once she grew stronger and more ruthless than them, they became afraid of her. Lin Shanchu felt an unprecedented sense offort. It was as if she had opened the door to a new world. It turned out that living recklessly made her very happy. Before she went to bed, she posted on Weibo once again. Actress Lin Shanchu: [There will be a livestream at three in the afternoon tomorrow. The location is at the Lu Corporation.] She had gained a lot of fans in the past two days. Now, she had more than 100,000 fans, all of whom were active. The moment she posted on Weibo, her fans all became active. [Will there be another lucky draw on tomorrows livestream?] [If youre livestreaming in the Lu Corporation tomorrow, will we have a chance to meet Xiao Fu?] [Prettydy, we want to see Fu Jue!] [I cant wait for the livestream! Many of my favorite celebrities are managed by thatpany!] Fu Jue was a new rising star. He was a celebrity under the Lu Corporation. He made his debut as an idolst year. He also became the top idol attracting the most fans who spent money on him. He was quite good at his job as well, so he maintained his poprity for more than a year. The next day. Lin Shanchu got up early in the morning. After leaving Lu Manor, she went straight to a famousw firm in Xu City. Ms. Lin? Lin Shanchu was recognized by the receptionist as soon as she entered. Be it attending the cocktail party with Huo Xunzhou or hosting a lucky draw with a 30 million dor vase on a livestream, Lin Shanchus antics were known by the entire city. She was now a hot topic in Xu City. Hello, she said. Lin Shanchus lips curled upward, revealing a pure and harmless smile. The receptionist sized her up with wide eyes, and a sh of surprise appeared in her eyes. How may I help you? Lin Shanchu exined, I want to find awyer whos good at dealing with property disputes. Our boss is the best at property disputes. Hes here right now. Ill lead you to his office. Alright, she agreed. Lin Shanchu hade prepared. The boss of this firm was called Chu Gushen. He was an acewyer in the industry. Later on, he became Huo Xunzhous legal counsel. Lin Shanchus luck was quite good today. Boss, we have a client! The receptionist knocked on the door. Chu Gushen was sitting at his desk while going through some documents. Upon hearing this, he raised his head and looked over. The mans facial features were very defined. He emitted a cold and aloof aura due to his careers requirements. The silver-rimmed sses on the bridge of his nose reduced his coldness a little, making him look refined and stoic. Lawyer Chu. Lin Shanchu walked in. Please take a seat. Chu Gushen sized her up without saying anything. Ms. Lin, which area do you need legal consultation on? Lin Shanchu exined,Id like to set up my will. Chu Gushens face turned serious, though a flicker of surprise shed through his eyes. He started to study her carefully. He didnt know Lin Shanchu at first. However, in the past two days, the news of Lu Shiyuans fiance livestreaming her lucky draw and giving away a 30 million dor vase had gone viral. Even the interns in the firm were all discussing this matter. When he turned on hisputer, news rted to Lin Shanchu popped up. He clicked on it and saw a picture of her. She was prettier in person than in the photo, but she also looked weaker inparison. She still resembled a young student. Her eyes were round and bright, giving her a naive and innocent look. However, she was here to set up her will. Chu Gushen was a professional man. He was curious, but he didnt ask much. After he exined the process to Lin Shanchu, he began to discuss the details with her. Who will be the designated inheritor in your will, Ms. Lin? Chu Gushen couldnt help but raise his head to look at the girl when he didnt get a reply from her. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and fixed her gaze on a certain spot, as if she was in a daze. She was thinking about who she should nominate as the inheritor of her will. Her only rtive in this world was her uncle. However, in the novel, that uncle was killed by Lu Shiyuan in the end. If her death didnt cause the world to copse, would her uncle be Lu Shiyuans next target once he obtained her shares of the Lu Corporation? Having waited for a while, Chu Gushen couldnt help but drop a reminder. Ms. Lin? My uncle, Lin Suguang, will receive all of my cash. Transfer the shares to Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu raised her head, her eyes bright and clear. What? Chu Gushen, who had gone through a lot in his career, couldnt help but look shocked. Lin Shanchu repeated slowly, I said, Huo Xunzhou will be the inheritor of my will. Huo Xunzhou was the one who had helped her. He was also someone who could protect her inheritance. She gave Chu Gushen full authority to deal with the will. It was lunchtime when they finished their discussion. Chu Gushen had a lunch appointment, so he headed out as well. The two of them walked out of thew firm together. After walking for a while, they ended up heading toward the same restaurant. I have a lunch appointment here, Chu Gushen exined. Lin Shanchus lips curved into a smile, indicating that she understood. Big Brother, the stew here is really delicious! A familiar voice came from behind. At the same time, she also felt a gaze that she could not ignore. She pursed her lips and decided not to turn back. However, the people behind her did not let her go. Ms. Lin. Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The maic voice that was very recognizable. She didnt need to turn around to know who it was. Lin Shanchu closed her eyes. She then turned around. Mr. Huo, The man in the wheelchair was wearing a well-ironed suit. He had deep eyes and looked like an elite who was going to a business meeting. Oh? What a coincidence! Ms. Lin, are you here to have lunch too? Li Mo was still the same as thest time, seeing as he was inexplicably warm to her. Yeah. Lin Shanchu nodded. Li Mo looked around and realized that Lin Shanchu was alone. He stole a nce at Huo Xunzhou and said to Lin Shanchu, Then why dont we all share a table and eat together? In the face of Li Mos warm invitation, Lin Shanchu was ready to refuse right off the bat. But Huo Xunzhou beat her to it. Lets eat together. She could not refuse Huo Xunzhou when he was right in front of her. At this moment, Chu Gushen, who had been standing quietly at the side, finally spoke up. Mr. Huo. Lin Shanchu instantly understood that the lunch appointment Chu Gushen was talking about was actually a meal with Huo Xunzhou. Was Huo Xunzhou already nning to work with Chu Gushen? Something was wrong. Huo Xunzhous plot waspletely different from the original novel. Could it be that Huo Xunzhou had also awakened? Before she entered the private room, she called out to the system. Did Huo Xunzhou awaken as well? [This world only detected an abnormality in the female leads persona.] Lin Shanchu refuted, But Huo Xunzhous plot doesnt match the plot in the original novel. At that moment, she had already entered the private room. As if wanting to please her, Li Mo pulled out a chair for her to sit. After she sat down, she realized that Huo Xunzhou was right beside her. They were so close. She could smell the fresh scent of cedar on him. Lin Shanchu remembered that she was still discussing Huo Xunzhous changes with the system. She lowered her eyes and waited for the systems reply. However, even after waiting for a while, the system still did not respond. Are you dead? Lin Shanchu asked. This stupid system was indeed unstable. Lets order. Huo Xunzhous fingers pressed on the menu and pushed it over. Lin Shanchu regained her senses and took the menu. Chu Gushen was even more confused as he watched the interaction between the two. Lin Shanchu was Lu Shiyuans fiance, but she left her inheritance to Huo Xunzhou. She and Huo Xunzhou did not seem to be close. Could it be that the rumors were true? that Lin Shanchu had gone crazy? Li Mo noticed that Chu Gushen had been staring at Lin Shanchu, so he thought that Chu Gushen was interested in her. It was very rare for Huo Xunzhou to have his eye on a woman. Naturally, Li Mo couldnt let thiswyer snatch her away. Therefore, he squeezed to Chu Gushens side. Lawyer Chu, I have a few legal questions that I would like to ask you. Li Mo looked fierce by nature. When he spoke seriously, he looked like he was seeking revenge. The more Lin Shanchu looked at him, the more he felt that Li Mo was hostile to Chu Gushen. She couldnt hold back her curiosity and turned to Huo Xunzhou. Did your younger brother have a problem with Lawyer Chu? She had originally thought that Li Mo was just an ordinary chauffeur. But she heard Li Mo referred to Huo Xunzhou as big brother just now. Huo Xunzhou was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was referring to Li Mo when she said your younger brother. He looked at Li Mo and saw through Li Mos thoughts. Maybe. This ambiguous answer confused Lin Shanchu even more. When she was confused, she would unconsciously tilt her head. It made her resemble a cute little animal. Huo Xunzhou thought of cats again. This meal took a little long. Huo Xunzhou and Chu Gushen talked about many business matters. Lin Shanchu did not understand any of them. After lunch, Chu Gushen left. Li Mo was very perceptive. Im going to the washroom. Ms. Lin, please help me take care of my big brother. Ill have to trouble you. He clutched his stomach and walked out. He was very proud of himself and felt that his acting skills were really good. However, he had forgotten that Lin Shanchu was a professional actress. Li Mo was deliberately creating an opportunity for her to be alone with Huo Xunzhou. She also understood the reason why Li Mo had been so warm to her before. However, she had only met Huo Xunzhou a few times. Why did Li Mo feel that she and Huo Xunzhou Why didnt you find a doctor? Huo Xunzhous words interrupted her thoughts. Lin Shanchus appetite was actually very bad. When she ate at Lu Manor, she also ate very slowly. She always tried to swallow and eat more food just to make herself look like a healthy person. No one cared about her at all. No one knew that she was terminally ill. However, Huo Xunzhou noticed her poor appetite. A person with enough life experience could find out about ones health state based on their diet. He did not know what illness Lin Shanchu had, but he knew that it must be a very serious illness. Lin Shanchu remembered her previous guess and began to test if Huo Xunzhou had also awakened. Some illnesses cant be cured by a doctor. She noticed Huo Xunzhous expression and continued, For example, if a character is set as a patient in a novel, the doctor cant decide if their illness was curable or not. Huo Xunzhou recalled the rumors he had heard recently. Lin Shanchu had gone crazy. He did not believe it at first. But now I know a lot of influencial psychiatrists. If you need them, I can help you contact them. Huo Xunzhous looks had always been attractive. He was extremely good-looking whenever he spoke seriously. But it was a pity. He thought of her as a lunatic. Lin Shanchu knew that he had good intentions, but this did not stop her from being angry. Youre the crazy one! Her cat-like eyes were filled with anger, making her pale face look more animated. Lin Shanchu picked up her bag and got up to leave. When she exited, she mmed the door of the private room loudly. Was she angry? She looked a little cute. Big Brother? Li Mo had not gone far. He was just outside the door. When he saw Lin Shanchu leave, he pushed the door open and came in. Did you make Ms. Lin angry? He saw Lin Shanchu leaving in a huff. Huo Xunzhou did not seem to hear him. After a long silence, Huo Xunzhou suddenly said, I want a copy of Lin Shanchus intel. Ive already prepared it for you. Li Mo chuckled while looking quite pleased of himself. Huo Xunzhou looked at him with narrowed eyes. Li Mo feared Huo Xunzhous indecipherable expression the most. He immediately sobered up. I just thought that you liked Ms. Lin. If you like someone so much, you must want to know all about her. Thats why I Wheres the stuff? Huo Xunzhou interrupted him with a frown. In the car! Li Mo replied. After returning to the car, Li Mo immediately handed Lin Shanchus intel to Huo Xunzhou. Li Mo was reliable. The intel that he collected was very detailed. Huo Xunzhou read everything carefully. His brows furrowed even more. Li Mo looked at him from the rearview mirror. Big Brother, Ms. Lins background is so tragic. Lu Shiyuan really is a jerk If it were up to me, you should have just snatched Ms. Lin from him Really, I dont know what Ms. Lin sees in that b*stard The more Li Mo spoke, the more agitated he became. It was as if he couldnt wait to fight Lu Shiyuan right now. Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The meal took a long time. After Lin Shanchu walked out of the restaurant, she looked at the time. It was already some time past one o clock in the afternoon. She decided to head straight to the Lu Corporation. The livestream was scheduled for three o clock, but she still had some things to deal with. When she got into the car, she thought of Huo Xunzhous offer to introduce her to a psychiatrist. She felt angry and amused at the same time. However, judging from Huo Xunzhous reaction, he must not have awakened. Then why didnt he follow the plot? Could a so-called highlight character change the plot? Lin Shanchu could not understand. She might as well not think about it. After all, she and Huo Xunzhou werent supposed to interact with each other. Lin Shanchu stood at the entrance of the Lu Corporation and looked up. Thest time she came to the Lu Corporation was when she was very young. When she walked in, she was stopped by a haughty receptionist. May I know who you are looking for? Lin Shanchu turned to look at her. The receptionist looked very young. She should be a fresh graduate. However, the watch she was wearing was not cheap. It was worth about six figures. The receptionists eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity. She had obviously recognized her. Im Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchus expression and tone were very normal but?there was an inexplicable feeling of arrogance. The receptionist was stunned for a moment. Ms. Lin, may I know who youre looking for? Do you have an appointment? Lin Shanchu just looked at her. It was very interesting. The fiance of the Lu corporations CEO was given a lot of trouble by a small receptionist at thepany. The treatment of the female lead of a sadistic novel was worse than that of a dog. The receptionist was a little stunned by Lin Shanchus stare and started to panic. At this moment, she heard Lin Shanchu ask her, Whats your name? I Im Wei Ni. She felt an inexplicable sense of oppression when Lin Shanchu looked at her like that. She could not help but obediently say her name. Wei Ni, you dont have toe to work tomorrow. Lin Shanchu left after saying this. She left Wei Ni in a daze. Before Lin Shanchu even reached the Human Resources Department, the news of her wanting to fire Wei Ni had already spread in thepany. She had stabbed Lu Shiyuanst night, so thetter was still recuperating in the hospital. His private assistant, Zhou Yan, was still in thepany. Zhou Yan was waiting at the entrance of the Human Resources Department. When he saw Lin Shanchu, he came over to greet her. Ms. Lin, I didnt know that you would be here. Please excuse me for noting out to wee you. Its working hours right now, but why arent you working in your own office? What are you doing here at the Human Resources Department? Zhou Yans expression froze for a moment. Present Lu found out that you came to thepany. He asked me to receive you properly. He deliberately emphasized the words President Lu. Clearly, he was using Lu Shiyuan to threaten her. As a shareholder, Im here to inspect thepanys production. How are you going to receive me as a mere assistant? It was thanks to her parents efforts that the Lu Corporation had gained its current sess. Lu Shiyuans father was an upright person. After thepany was reorganized, he gave Lin Shanchu 15% of the shares. This matter was not announced to the public. Only the people in thepany knew. In the original novel, after Lin Shanchu found out that she had a terminal illness, she still transferred all her shares to Lu Shiyuan despite his bad attitude toward her. She was truly a hopeless romantic. As Lu Shiyuans private assistant, Zhou Yan was often fawned upon by others. When had he ever met someone like Lin Shanchu who humiliated him in public? His face immediately darkened.. Ms. Lin, lets wait for President Lu to return first. Lin Shanchu smiled, but there was no warmth in her smile. Private Assistant Zhou, the name of thispany may be Lu, but it doesnt belong to Lu Shiyuan alone. Youre Lu Shiyuans private assistant, so its understandable for you to take his money to help him, but what right do you have to control me? Youre so caring that you even care about the boss fiance. Zhou Yans expression changed. Ms. Lin, thats not what I meant. If thats not what you meant, then just go back to where you came from. Lin Shanchu did not even spare him a nce as she entered the office. The employees who had been eavesdropping on their conversation behind the door all swarmed back to their desks. Lin Shanchu attracted attention no matter where she went. Fire the receptionist called Wei Ni, Lin Shanchu said in a straightforward manner. Even someone like Zhou Yan was unable to fend off Lin Shanchu, so the head of the Human Resources Department naturally did not dare to say anything. Dont worry, Ms. Lin. Ill definitely get this matter done. Next, Lin Shanchu went to the finance department. Transfer all thepanys dividends to my ount in the future. Her dividends from before had all gone to Lu Shiyuan the scumbag. He ended up using them for investment purposes. The female lead of the sadist novel, who regarded money as dirt, naturally couldnt ask Lu Shiyuan for money. That was why she was so poor. From now on, no one could touch her money. It was almost three o clock when she was done with these matters. Lin Shanchu went to the presidents office after that. She took out a foldable tripod from her bag and started the livestream. Theizens who liked to watch the drama quickly joined the livestream. [Pretty sister, are you still going to host a lucky draw today?] [Wow, where is this ce? Its so luxurious! ] Lin Shanchu sat on Lu Shiyuans chair and gently turned it with the tips of her toes. At the same time, she answered their questions seriously. I can do that, but I havent thought of what the prize should be. This is the presidents office of the Lu Corporation. After Lin Shanchu showed the office to theizens, they began to spamments. [I want to see Fu Jue!] The artists working area is located on the 15th floor. Im taking the elevator now. She walked out of the office and met Zhou Yan in the corridor. After Zhou Yan saw her enter the elevator, he gave Lu Shiyuan a call. President Lu, Ms. Lin has just taken the elevator to the 15th floor. Dont let her cause any trouble, Lu Shiyuan instructed. Iming to thepany now. When they reached the 15th floor, Lin Shanchu saw Fu Jues manager as soon as she walked out. I heard that everyone wanted to see Ah Jue. He dide here today, but he left just now. He has an activity tonight. When theizens heard the managers words, they flooded the screen withments. [What a pity.] [Its okay. We can always meet other celebrities.] Lin Shanchu walked in. A big screen was broadcasting Fu Jues interview. Theres your Fu Jue. She turned the camera to face the big screen. Fu Jue, what do you think about dating? the reporter asked, clearly trying to stir up trouble. Fu Jue answered, I dont have any thoughts about dating now. I just want to focus on my career. I dont want to let down my fans. The fans in the live broadcast room were very touched. [He can see all of our efforts!] [Ill support him even more now!] [Fu Jue is worth everything!] [Although Ive watched this interview before, I still feel touched when I watch it again!] [Big brother, youre the best! Lets do our best together!] Youre all Fu Jues fans. Lin Shanchu was slightly envious. The envy that was about to overflow the screen made theizens flood the screen withughter. Lin Shanchu walked around the floor. There arent many people on this floor. Lets go to the 14th floor to take a look. The 14th floor also has a working area for artists. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 When Lin Shanchu arrived at the elevator area, the elevator had just left. She waited for a while, but it didnt return. Lin Shanchu suggested, Lets just take the stairs. Its only one floor anyway. The exit of the stairway was rather remote. Lin Shanchu found it after searching around for a while. When she reached out to push the door open, she vaguely heard a strange sounding from the stairs behind the door. The audience in the live broadcast room also heard it. [Whats that sound?] [It sounds like someones having sex.] [Holy sh*t! The host just said that these two floors are working spaces for the artists!] [Let me tell you a horror story. Someones about to witness something terrible that involves their idol.] [The manager said that Fu Jue just left. It cant be him!] Lin Shanchu nced at the screen. The camera could not capture the position, and a cold light shed in her eyes. Creak! The door leading to the stairwell was pushed open. Ah! A womans scream came from inside. A young mans voice was then heard. Who the f*ck is that? Lin Shanchu turned around and raised her head. The man and woman opposite her were disheveled. The woman was hiding in the mans arms. Her face could not be seen clearly, but the mans face was very clear. He was the one that everyone had seen on the big screen earlier. Fu Jue? When Lin Shanchu turned around, her arm turned with her, and Fu Jue happened to be in the frame. The live broadcast room instantly exploded. ]Its Fu Jue!] [I know that woman. Shes Fu Jues assistant. She was just hired before the new year!] [Im heartbroken right now. I never thought that Id be the one witnessing my idol doing this!] [Ahhh! How is that possible?! How can it be Fu Jue?!] [Oh? Isnt this the same Fu Jue who imed that hes not interested in dating?] Fu Jue looked at Lin Shanchus phone screen, finally realizing that she was livestreaming. What are you doing?! He took two steps forward, snatched Lin Shanchus phone and threw it to the ground. The phone screen darkened immediately. The livestream was forced to end. A staff member outside heard themotion and ran over. Fu Jue? Didnt you leave already? Why are you still here? After the staff member finished speaking, he saw Fu Jue and the assistants conditions before looking at Lin Shanchu, who was standing on the side. Everyone in thepany knew that Lin Shanchu hade to thepany to do a livestream. The staff members face changed abruptly. He immediately contacted Fu Jues manager on the spot. The livestream had ended. But the drama was just the beginning. The topic #Fu Jue and assistant quickly got on the trending list. In the mysterious group known as theizens, there would always be meticulous people. Someone recorded a video in Lin Shanchus livestream and uploaded the video of Fu Jue and his assistants disheveled states. Although nothing was revealed, the two of them were hugging each other intimately. Fu Jues face was also very clear. The shock was even more powerful than Thors hammer. The manager was looking for a public rtions team to suppress the topics poprity. However, not only did the poprity not go down, but it also climbed higher and higher. Fu Jue was a new top celebrity with many fans and high poprity. Now that his persona had copsed, the repercussions he faced were more severe than ever. Most of the peoplementing on the topic happened to be his fans. [My head is still buzzing right now! I cant believe that Fu Jue would do such a thing!] [@Fu Jue, we spent so much money for you to make your debut, and yet youre treating us like this?] [Didnt you say you wanted to focus on your career? Why would you have a sex with a woman in the stairwell? In the past, I didnt understand why other people would rescind their membership as fans and began to hate the idols! But now, Im going to do the same!] [I just feel very sad. If you want to be in a rtionship, go ahead! Why would you y the role of a career-driven idol without the intention to date? Is it fun to lie to your fans? Damn it! Im no longer your fan!] Of course, there were also idiotic fans who defended him. [Go ahead and leave him. Ill always love Fu Jue.] [People cant wait to rescind their fan status just because something happened. Fu Jue will be so disappointed if he sees this. Those who really like him will only get through this hardship together with him.] Someone replied to thisment, [Get through this hardship with him? Im his fan, not his mother who has to tolerate everything he does. Besides, he asked for it.] [He is only twenty-one years old, so hes still a child. Hes just dating someone. Its not like hes breaking thew] The reply below this post was [Hes free to fall in love now. He can date however he wants. There are always people who can rece him anyway.] Lu Corporation. Lu Shiyuan had heard about Fu Jue on the way here. The moment he arrived at thepany, he went straight to the public rtions department. Have you settled the matter? He had been injured twice in a row, and his face was very pale. His deep voice had a strong sense of oppression. The employees of the public rtions department kept quiet out of fear. Fu Jues matter hasnt been suppressed yet, the director said carefully. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he picked up the documents on the table next to him and threw them at the director. Its already been half an hour and you still havent suppressed it! Are you all good-for-nothing trash?! Fu Jues poprity was too high. If the topic wasnt suppressed within half an hour, he would definitely be on the trending list. It would be even more troublesome if the topic was on the trending list. Dating was fatal for a new top celebrity like Fu Jue. Arge number of fans would definitely leave. The market would reevaluate his business value. All of his endorsements and business activities might get terminated as well. Thepanys investment in him would also go to waste. Dont worry, President Lu. Well do our best to handle this, the head of public rtions immediately replied. After he finished speaking, he looked behind Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and saw Lin Shanchu leaning against the door. She looked at himzily. Looking at Lin Shanchus half-smile, Lu Shiyuans expression was even darker than before. The public rtions director was very tactful and told the others to go and do their own things. Lu Shiyuan walked toward her with a sullen expression. It seems like I didnt manage to wound your heart, Lin Shanchu remarked in a disappointed tone. The wound was covered by the shirt, so it was impossible to determine the severity of the wound. However, he could still walk and throw a tantrum so loudly, so it must be a light injury. How unfair. The moment she got an illness, it was a terminal illness. Lu Shiyuan was bleeding and injured, but he still looked fine. Do you really want me to die that badly? Lu Shiyuans voice was deep. His furious eyes showed a mixture ofplicated feelings. Lin Shanchu did not show any weakness by staring right into his eyes. Yup. The best way to eliminate fear was to face it directly. The Lin Shanchu of the past loved and feared Lu Shiyuan. The Lin Shanchu now had no love for Lu Shiyuan, but she still feared him deep down. Dering a war on him would help her find more courage instead. Then Ill have to disappoint you. Lu Shiyuanughed rather sinisterly. Its true that Im quite disappointed. Lin Shanchu nced at him coldly and turned around to leave. Stop right there! Lu Shiyuans voice came from behind. She pretended not to hear him and walked straight ahead. She heard Lu Shiyuan call out again. Zhou Yan. Hurried footsteps could be heard. Lin Shanchu had a bad feeling in her heart. Before she could turn around, she was blocked by two tall and mighty bodyguards. What are you doing? The bodyguards did not say a word. They grabbed her arms from both sides and dragged her into the elevator. Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Lin Shanchu was driven back to the mountain vi in Qing Xi Bay. After the bodyguards dragged her into the vi, they stood guard at the door. They didnt give her any chance to resist the whole time. Her arms were in pain from being dragged. She rested for a while before getting up to walk out. Before she could take a step, she was stopped by the bodyguards. What do you mean by this? Without President Lus orders, you cant take a single step out of Lu Manor, the bodyguard said expressionlessly. Lin Shanchus expression changed slightly. Lu Shiyuan wanted to imprison her. In the original novel, there was indeed a plot where Lu Shiyuan imprisoned her. However, that was in theter part of the novel. It was when she finally decided to leave Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan sent someone to imprison her. After her uncle found out about her encounter, he returned to the country to save her. It was probably because her awakening had affected the plot, causing the plot of her imprisonment to be brought forward. However, this time, she would not let her uncle return to this nation. In the original book, her uncle died in Lu Shiyuans hands because he returned to the country to save her. Having thought till this point, Lin Shanchu hurriedly ran into her room. Fu Jue had shattered her phone at the Lu Corporation. She didnt have time to buy a new one, so she was unable to call her uncle. She could only send him an email. Lin Shanchu turned on theputer, but found out that theputer was not connected to the inte. She tried a few times but couldnt connect to the inte. What was going on? Lin Shanchu went out to look for the elderly butler. Grandpa Xu, why cant I connect to the inte? The butler avoided her gaze. There might be a problem somewhere. Ill call someone to fix it tomorrow. Lin Shanchu looked at him for a moment and reached out to him. Give me your phone. The butler hesitated for a moment, but still handed the phone to her. Lin Shanchu realized that there was no signal on his phone. Did Lu Shiyuan block the inte signal at home? she asked. Yes. The butler nodded. Lin Shanchu bit the corner of her lower lip. Then, she revealed a disdainful smile. Lu Shiyuan was afraid that she would go out and cause trouble, so he imprisoned her and refused to let her out of the house. He was afraid that she would start a livestream and cause trouble, so he blocked Lu Manors inte signal. In short, Lu Shiyuan was starting to be afraid of her. As she thought of this, Lin Shanchus smile gradually spread. In the end, it became a heartyugh. To think that there woulde a day when Lu Shiyuan was afraid of her! The butler frowned slightly and looked at her worriedly. Ms. Lin After sending Lin Shanchu back to the Lu family, Lu Shiyuan stayed in thepany and waited for the results of the public rtions department. Fu Jue was an artist that thepany had been promoting for the past two years. He had invested a lot of money in the early stages. Now was the time to make profits off him. He had to find a way to salvage the situation. President Lu. Zhou Yan pushed the door and entered. How is it? Lu Shiyuan asked him. Zhou Yan replied, Fu Jues trending topic cant be suppressed. Increase the price! Lu Shiyuans eyes were sharp. Zhou Yan was silent for a moment. It has already been raised to five million dors. Everyones useless! Lu Shiyuan sneered. Usually, it would only cost a few hundred thousand to a million dors to suppress a hot topic. Now that it had been raised to five million, it still couldnt be lowered at all. Despite being scolded, Zhou Yan still looked calm. President Lu, I suspect that someone is trying to make the topic even more viral. Under normal circumstances, after spending so much money, it was impossible for him to not be able to suppress the topic. Moreover, with Lu Shiyuans status, most people didnt dare to offend him and would give him face. When Lu Shiyuan heard this, he fell into deep thought. The Lu Corporation was the biggestpany in the entertainment industry. Where did the rivale from? Who would dare to go against him? Xunzhou, Fu Jues topic has reached the top of the trending list! My money wasnt spent in vain! Nan Mu pushed the door open excitedly and entered with his phone in hand. Huo Xunzhou sat in front of hisputer. He didnt respond at all. Nan Mu walked over and saw Huo Xunzhou looking at the trending list.. Youve seen it! Nan Mu rubbed his hands together, then jumped onto the desk and sat down. This matter has blown up so much. Lets see how Lu Shiyuanspany will handle the public rtions of this matter! Huo Xunzhous brows were still tightly knitted together. No one knew what he was thinking. Whats wrong? Nan Mu tilted his head and looked at him. Huo Xunzhou turned around and saw him sitting on his desk. He just stared at him coldly afterward. Nan Mu chuckled and immediately jumped off the table. He pulled over the chair across from him and sat down. He said in a gossipy tone, I even suspect that Lin Shanchu did it on purpose. I heard that when she was streaming, she could hear the sounds before entering the stairwell. She could have just not gone in. Lu Shiyuan has invested tens of millions in Fu Jue. Now is a good time to make money. Lu Shiyuan has suffered a huge loss after this incident. Lin Shanchus recent actions seem to be targeted at Lu Shiyuan. Do you think shes really crazy? Huo Xunzhou looked at him expressionlessly. Youre the one whos crazy. Nan Mu was silent for a moment. Then, he started speaking seriously. Actually, I think youre quite problematic yourselftely. Keep talking, Huo Xunzhou said. His expression was cold. It was so cold that even Nan Mu felt a little cold. Nan Mu silently moved his chair backward. Thinking that he had retreated to a safe distance, he started talking carefully. You treat Lin Shanchu very differently. Youre always speaking up for her and paying special attention to her situation. Huo Xunzhou was silent for a moment. His tone was still emotionless when he replied, She is the daughter of my teacher. Oh.It was clear that Nan Mu didnt believe Huo Xunzhou. There were countless good-looking women in the entertainment industry. Nan Mu had been his manager for seven years. He had never seen Huo Xunzhou look at a woman outside of filming. He had no emotions and desires to the point that he didnt resemble an actual man at all. Nan Mu once thought that something was wrong with either Huo Xunzhous mental or physical condition. That was why he had no interest in women. Of course, he only dared to have internal suspicions. He did not dare to say it to Huo Xunzhou face to face. At the age of twenty-six, Huo Xunzhou finally spared a woman a few nces. The relief Nan Mu felt was akin to a fathers. This woman may have a fianc, but that wasnt important. Huo Xunzhou made him a top manager even though he was so useless, so a woman with a fianc was definitely easy to court. Nan Mu kept boosting the poprity of Fu Jues topic. Meanwhile, Lu Shiyuan kept spending money to suppress it. The tform was making a lot of money. Lu Shiyuans money went down the drain. The topic went extremely viral, meaning Nan Mu had achieved his goal. Lu Shiyuan was the loser of this situation. Zhou Yan came in to report the situation to Lu Shiyuan. President Lu. Lu Shiyuan sat in front of theputer with a grim expression. Just by looking at his expression, Zhou Yan guessed that he already knew that Fu Jues topic had gone viral. The public rtions department is preparing to start the second n. Theyll release an apology statement and try to recover some losses. Have you found out whos boosting the poprity of Fu Jues topic? Lu Shiyuans voice was filled with suppressed anger. Zhou Yan answered, Ive investigated a fewpanies that have apetitive rtionship with us. This matter has nothing to do with them. Lu Shiyuan didnt say anything. He was deep in thought, his gaze cold. Zhou Yan stood on the spot while waiting for his instructions. After a while, Lu Shiyuan ordered, Investigate Huo Xunzhou. Puzzled, Zhou Yan just replied respectfully, Yes, sir. Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Lu Shiyuan thought of Lin Shanchu, who was forcefully brought home by the bodyguards. He picked up his phone and called the butler. Before he ordered his men to block Lu Manors cell phone signal, he had prepared a satellite phone for the elderly butler. Satellite phones have no regional restrictions, after all. Young master. What is she doing? The butler knew that he was asking about Lin Shanchu. Apart from going downstairs to ask about the inte situation at home once, Ms. Lin didnt make any noise or kick up a fuss. She has been in her room the entire time. Was Lin Shanchu actually this well-behaved? Thinking of what Lin Shanchu had done over the past few days, Lu Shiyuan frowned slightly. Ill be back for dinner tonight. He had to go back and see what that woman was up to. Lu Manors inte signal was blocked. Lin Shanchu couldnt surf the inte, so she tore up the room. The decorations in the room and the clothes in the closet were all the aesthetics of the old Lin Shanchu. It had nothing to do with her now. The simple, pure, and weak female lead did not have any jewelry. In short, other than the case of money that she brought back with her, there was nothing else in the room that was worth taking away. Ah. She almost forgot. The old rabbit doll on the bed was a gift from her mother when she was young. She could take that with her. So, she stuffed the old doll into the case. Creak! The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. The door mmed into the wall with a dull sound. Lu Shiyuan was the only person who could open her room door this arrogantly. Lu Shiyuan stood by the door. After seeing the state of the room, his brows were deeply furrowed. The floor was filled with clothes. The drawers of the dressing table were all open, and a few pieces of jewelry were scattered everywhere. The room was as messy as a garbage dump. There wasnt even a spot for him to step on. He forcibly retracted the foot that he had lifted. What are you up to this time? Just cleaning up. Lin Shanchu finally turned around and looked at him. Her beautiful cat-like eyes were extremely indifferent. The way they looked at him was no different from looking at the flowers and grass on the side of the road. This realization made Lu Shiyuan feel irritated. His tone became cold and hard. No matter what you want to do, youll be staying at home from now on. Youre not allowed to go anywhere without my permission! In just a few days, Tang Qidai got so much bacsh that she lost a job. After that, Fu Jues romantic rtionship got exposed. He didnt want to go this far. She was the one who forced him! Lin Shanchu didnt seem to have heard him. She just asked, Have you dealt with Fu Jues matter? Lu Shiyuans face instantly darkened. When Lin Shanchu saw this, her lips curved into a smile. It seemed that there was no way to deal with Fu Jues matter. This little loss was nothing to Lu Shiyuan. It was just the beginning. Lu Shiyuan had to be in as much pain as she was in order for her hatred to be vented. Lu Shiyuan, who was standing by the door, had no idea what Lin Shanchu was thinking. He was even dazzled by her sudden smile. She hadnt smiled at him like this in a long time. The past came to his mind. Lu Shiyuans gaze softened again. The sudden ringing of his phone pulled him back to reality. The phone call was from Zhou Yan. He walked to the side to answer the phone. President Lu, Ive done my investigation on Huo Xunzhou. Theres nothing unusual about him other than his investments on a few variety shows. Keep investigating. Lu Shiyuan only said those words before hanging up the phone. Lin Shanchu, who was eavesdropping by the door, was a little disappointed. Those words didnt contain much information. Soon, the butler sent someone to inform them that dinner was ready. Lin Shanchu went to the dining room. Lu Shiyuan sat opposite her and watched as she ate slowly. He realized that she didnt actually eat much. After carefully studying Lin Shanchu for a moment, he realized that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Does the food not suit your appetite? The food is very appetizing, but its hard for me to swallow with you sitting here. Lin Shanchus tone was soft, but every word she said was piercing. Lu Shiwan tightened his grip on his chopsticks. Lin Shanchu, youre really hopeless! Youre right. Lin Shanchu nodded in agreement. She was indeed terminally ill. There was no cure. Lu Shiyuan, on the other hand, was rotten from the inside out. He was as hopeless as her. Lin Shanchu looked a little simr to before. No matter what he said, she would treat it as holy verses from the Bible. If he was unhappy, she would think that she was the problem. However, Lu Shiyuan still felt a little irritated. He threw down his chopsticks and left the dining room, toozy to eat. The elderly butler, who was standing by the side, saw that the two of them had finally sat down for a meal together, but they had parted on bad terms. He could not help but speak up in order to persuade Lin Shanchu. Ms. Lin, the young master does care about you. He wontsh out at you for real, so please pacify him. Why isnt he the one pacifying and coaxing me instead? Lin Shanchu asked back. Who here isnt raised by their parents? Why do I have to sacrifice myself to please him? In the Lu family, everyone was on Lu Shiyuans side. Someone has to bow their head in a rtionship, the butler reasoned. Lin Shanchu sneered. Was Lu Shiyuan worthy of her sacrifice? She had lowered her head for so long that even her knees were on the ground. She threw away her self-esteem and ego and knelt on the ground, only to be trampled on by Lu Shiyuan. She didnt want to kneel anymore. However, there were always people who advised her to continue kneeling and lower her head to Lu Shiyuan. It was as if this was the right thing to do. Lin Shanchu put down her chopsticks, her soft voice carrying a hint of coldness. Now that youre old, your mind cant work properly anymore. Just shut up. Without the inte, Lin Shanchu lived azy life every day. She woke up on time and ate on time every day. Although Lu Shiyuan was in the office every day, the butler and bodyguards at home would always tell him about Lin Shanchus every move. In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. In the morning. Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu sat opposite each other and ate breakfast. I want to go out today. Huo Xunzhou had made an appointment with her to visit her mothers grave this weekend. For what? Im going to visit my parents. When Lu Shiyuan heard this, he carefully sized up Lin Shanchu, as if he wanted to find evidence of her lying on her face. Is today their death anniversary? No. Her parents had died to save Lu Shiyuans parents, but Lu Shiyuan didnt even remember their death anniversary. Ill go with you on the death anniversary. Lu Shiyuan was worried that Lin Shanchu would cause trouble again, so he didnt allow her to go out. Lin Shanchu responded indifferently and continued to eat. Lu Shiyuan was very satisfied with her obedience. Eat more, he said, his gaze softening. After the meal, Lin Shanchu sent him to the main entrance as usual. Her reluctant gaze made Lu Shiyuan feel a little dazed. The loving and dependent Lin Shanchu of the past had returned. Ille back earlier tonight to have dinner with you. He had to attend a business event today. Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Lin Shanchu smiled slightly and did not answer. Lu Shiyuans heart was moved by her gentle and obedient appearance. He reached out and pulled his tie, then lowered his head to kiss Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu had spent thest 16 years with him, so she knew his personality and habits like the back of her hand. When Lu Shiyuan finished pulling his tie, she took a step back and perfectly avoided his kiss. Itll be toote if you dont set off now. The girl had a smile on her face. She stood one step away from him, as gentle as a cat. The displeasure in Lu Shiyuans heart dissipated a little. Ill be leaving first. The smile on Lin Shanchus face disappeared as she watched Lu Shiyuans car drive away. Lu Shiyuan was like this. asionally, he would also show that he liked her a little. She was toocking in love and regarded him as too important. As long as he showed a little goodwill, she would be like a moth flying into the fire, fully devoting herself to this rtionship. Lin Shanchu returned to the vi and looked at the time. It was eight oclock sharp. Huo Xunzhou would probably call her soon. She was curious if Huo Xunzhou woulde to Lu Manor to look for her if she could not get through to him. Probably not. Compared to the others, Huo Xunzhou was indeed a good person. He was a good person with a cold heart. He knew that she was in a difficult situation, but he did not pity her. He had also said that no one could help her except herself. She felt that what he said made sense. Instead of hoping that others might save her, she might as well rely on herself. In the courtyard, the butler was instructing the servants to trim the flowers and nts. Lin Shanchu walked over. Lu Manor was built over 20 years ago. There were manyrge trees in the courtyard. Lin Shanchu looked up and stared at a humongous tree. Ms. Lin, whats wrong with the tree? Butler Xu asked. This tree is an eyesore. Lin Shanchus tone was very light as if she was just casually chatting with him. Get rid of it. Butler Xu was speechless. Seeing that she was still focused on the tree, the butler walked to the side and called Lu Shiyuan. Young master, Ms. Lin said that she wanted to uproot the tree in the eastern corner of the courtyard. Do as she wishes. Lu Shiyuan thought that it was probably because there was no inte at home and she was bored, so she wanted to find something for the butler and servants to do. It was just a small fight, so he let her be. Alright, he said. The butler instructed the servants to pull the tree out. The tree was big and had deep roots, so uprooting the tree was a big project. Come over and help. Lin Shanchu called all the servants over. This tree could only be uprooted after half a days time. Butler Xu called for the bodyguards at the door to help. You guys take your time. Im going back to take a nap. Lin Shanchu yawnedzily and turned to walk into the vi. She didnt go back to her room straight away. First, she turned off the fire emergency system in the vi. Then, she went to Lu Shiyuans study. Lu Shiyuans precious things were all in the study. Important contracts as well as histe mothers memento. His study faced the backyard. One could see the green forest through the window. Lin Shanchu took out a lighter. She lifted the curtain and lit it. The expensive silk curtains were quickly swallowed by the mes. The fire quickly spread to the wooden bookshelves. The old vi of more than 20 years was set on fire. Soon, the entire room was engulfed in a sea of fire. Lin Shanchu stood at the door and stared for two seconds. Then, she opened the next door with a nk expression. Finally, it was her own room. She picked up the case and started a fire in the room. When she went downstairs, she noticed that the servants in the courtyard were still uprooting the trees. No one noticed that the vi had already be an inferno. Lin Shanchu quietly went to the backyard. ording to the original novel, the vi was built on the mountainside and had an excellent ecological environment. Wild animals often destroyed the courtyards walls in order to steal food. In the corner of the backyard, there was a hole that was as tall as half a person covered by vines. In the novel, Lin Shanchu escaped through that hole after getting imprisoned by Lu Shiyuan. It was midsummer, so the fire in the old vi spread very quickly. Lin Shanchu didnt walk too far with her case when she saw Lu Manor being swallowed by the mes. She stopped to watch the scene. A smile gradually appeared in her clear and bright eyes. It was as if she had seen the most beautiful scenery in the world, which fascinated her. The thing that trapped her. She had burned it. When Lu Shiyuan received the news and rushed back to Lu Manor, what he saw was the ruins that was burned by a raging fire. It waspletely different from the home he was familiar with. The police and firefighters had arrived. The scene was chaotic. A police officer walked over to Lu Shiyuan. Mr. Lu, were still investigating the cause of the fire Lu Shiyuan looked around in a daze. He didnt hear what the police officer said at all. Mr. Lu? Wheres Lin Shanchu? Lu Shiyuans expression started to be anxious and uneasy. The servants and bodyguards of the Lu family were all there except for Lin Shanchu. Weve done a preliminary investigation and havent found any bodies at the site. The detailed results need time to be verified, so please wait patiently. Lu Shiyuan only caught the main point of the sentence. They didnt find any bodies in the fire field. There was no corpse, which meant that Lin Shanchu was not dead. Lin Shanchu did not die, so where did she go? Lin Shanchus every move over the past few days shed through his mind like a film reel. He suddenly understood that Lin Shanchus obedience and meekness these few days were just a disguise. She had carefully nned this escape under his eyes. She had made use of everyone in the Lu family, including him. He had never realized that Lin Shanchu had such a trick up her sleeve. The thought of this made Lu Shiyuanugh in a self-deprecating way. However, hisughter gradually became gloomy and ruthless. Tang Qidai said that Lin Shanchu was just confused for a moment and asked him to give Lin Shanchu another chance. He had already given her the chance. She was the one who didnt cherish it. Lin Shanchu! Dont let me catch you! Otherwise, Ill definitely make you wish you were dead. After Lin Shanchu left Lu Manor, she avoided the main road. After walking on the path for a long time, she finally gged down a taxi on the sidewalk. The first thing she did when she arrived in the city was to get a new phone number. A call came in as soon as she turned it on. The number belonged to an overseas country. A smile appeared on Lin Shanchus face. There was only one person who would call her from overseas. Uncle. Shanshan, I saw the news about the fire at Lu Manor on the inte. Are you alright? The young mans anxious voice came from the phone. Lin Shanchu exined patiently, Im okay. Im not at Lu Manor. Im outside. Lin Suguang heaved a sigh of relief. I went up the mountain with my friends recently. The signal was bad, so I didnt get much inte ess. I only found out about the incidents you were involved in when I got back today. Lin Suguangs tone suddenly turned serious. Shanshan, Ive decided to return to Xu City. The contract you signed hasnt expired yet, right? What are you returning for? Ill be very busy from now on, so I dont have time to take care of you! Lin Shanchu pretended to be disgusted. What are you busy with? Youll know when the timees. Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Lin Shanchu finally managed to persuade Lin Suguang after a long time. She had set Lu Manor on fire, which meant Lu Shiyuan would definitely not let her off easily. If Lin Suguang were to return at this juncture, he would definitely be suppressed by Lu Shiyuan. Her uncle was the only person in the world who cared about her. She would not let anything happen to him. Lin Shanchu had answered the call on the sidewalk. After putting her phone in her bag, she realized that a car had stopped in front of her. However, this was not the ce to park the car. Why did they have to stop here? Ms. Lin! The door on the drivers side opened as Li Mo got out of the car. Lin Shanchu saw Li Mo and subconsciously looked into the back window of the car. Although she could not see anything, she knew that Huo Xunzhou was in the car. Li Mo walked over and opened the back door. Ms. Lin, please get in the car. The car door opened, revealing the scene inside. Huo Xunzhou was sitting in the car. He wore a formal shirt and cks with a tie. His ck shirt was buttoned up to the top, and his tie was tied into a formal Winsor knot. He looked solemn and abstinent. Lin Shanchu was dazed. She remembered the years when Huo Xunzhou was at the peak of his career in the entertainment industry. Many entertainment bloggers would say the same thing when they talked about Huo Xunzhou. Who wouldnt like Huo Xunzhou? While she studied Huo Xunzhou, thetter was doing the same to her. Her white dress was unusually neat, and her clean, fair face was free of any dirt and grime. Her expression was calm andposed. She did not look like someone who had just escaped from a fire. Li Mo reached out and took the case from Lin Shanchu. Its so heavy! He thought that Lin Shanchu was carrying something important, but he did not expect it to be so heavy. Thank you for your trouble. Lin Shanchu smiled at him and bent down to get into the car. Li Mo ced the case in the trunk and started the car without a word. Lin Shanchu saw flowers and offerings on the front passenger seat. Please stop the car when you see a flower shop. I came out in a hurry and didnt buy flowers. Li Mo nced at Huo Xunzhou from the rearview mirror and replied, Alright. Not long after the car left, a flower shop came into their view. As soon as the car stopped, Lin Shanchu went out to buy flowers. The big screen across the road was showing the news of Lu Manor on fire. Even though such a big thing has happened to the Lu family, why is Ms. Lin acting as if nothing happened? Li Mo asked as he looked at the big screen. Just focus on driving, Huo Xunzhou said indifferently. Li Mo quickly shut up and opted not to talk. The woman that Huo Xunzhou had taken a liking to resembled him greatly. No one could understand her at all. For the past 16 years, Lin Shanchu hade to Xi Shan Cemetery every year. She was very familiar with this ce. To her, this ce was more familiar to her than Lu Manor. Her parents loved each other so much that they got buried together after passing away. She ced the fresh flowers in front of the grave and reached out to wipe the dust off the tombstone. Mom, dad, Im here to see you. Huo Xunzhou also put down the flowers in his hand. Mdm. Ning, Im Huo Xunzhou. After that simple sentence was uttered, a long silence ensued. Lin Shanchu could not help but turn to look at him. Huo Xunzhou was very focused on the picture of Lin Shanchus mother on the tombstone. His eyes were a little out of focus as if he was lost in his memories. After an unknown amount of time, Huo Xunzhou suddenly spoke up. Back then, Mdm. Ning often brought you to my sses. Huh? Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment. She then realized that Huo Xunzhou was talking about the time when he was enrolled in her mothers kindergarten. Back then, you were only this big. Huo Xunzhou gestured with his hand. His expression was as indifferent as ever, but it somehow made people feel a little closer to him. It was probably because he sounded like an elder who had been through a lot. Youre only four years older than me. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou looked at her with a half-smile. His maic voice had a teasing tone. He didnt have any ill intentions. However, Lin Shanchu felt ufortable under his gaze. I still have things to do, so Ill be leaving first, she said expressionlessly. As a fan of Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhous romantic progression, Li Mo immediately offered, Ms. Lin, where are you going? We can give you a lift. Considering that it was not easy to get a taxi here, Lin Shanchu answered honestly, Tian Zhou Media. When Li Mo heard that, he looked at Huo Xunzhou and asked, What are you going there for, Ms. Lin? I need Mr. Nans help, Lin Shanchu said. Tian Zhou Media was the managementpany that Huo Xunzhou had founded under Nan Mus name. Li Mo did not ask any further. The group started to walk out of the cemetery. Lin Shanchu walked in front while Li Mo pushed Huo Xunzhou from behind. They soon arrived at the parking lot. Just as Li Mo was about to help Huo Xunzhou into the car, thetters expression froze before saying in a deep voice, Lin Shanchu, get in the car. Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at him. What Without giving her a chance to speak, Huo Xunzhou suddenly stood up, pulled her arm, and stuffed her into the car without a word. He closed the car door loudly afterward. Li Mo eximed, Big Brother, you she She knows that Im not disabled. After Huo Xunzhou finished exining, he sat back in his wheelchair. Lin Shanchu, who was sitting in the car, saw a familiar car driving over not far away. She was so familiar with the car te number that she could recite it backward. It was Lu Shiyuans car. Lu Shiyuan knew her too well. He knew that she had nowhere to go in Xu City, so he came to the cemetery straight away. Lu Shiyuans car stopped across from them. He got out of the car and walked toward Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou, what are you doing here? President Lu, what else do you think we can do in the cemetery other than paying respects to the dead? Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair while maintaining the perfect poker face. Lu Shiyuan turned to look at Huo Xunzhous car. The ss windows of the car were made of a special material, so the people outside could not see inside. President Lu, Huo Xunzhou startedzily. You seem interested in my car. Why dont you just open the door and take a look? Based on Lu Shiyuans intuition, he felt that Lin Shanchu was most likely in Huo Xunzhous car. Previously, at the hospital, Huo Xunzhou had confronted him because of Lin Shanchu. Later on, Lin Shanchu apanied Huo Xunzhou to the party. The rtionship between the two of them was very ambiguous. After Lin Shanchu escaped from Lu Manor, it was very likely that she woulde to find Huo Xunzhou. He walked up to the car and held the door handle. Seeing this, Li Mo wanted to step forward. Huo Xunzhou reached out and held his arm, motioning for him to not move. Lu Shiyuan stood in front of the car for a moment before he suddenly retracted his hand. He turned around and instructed his subordinates. Lets go to the cemetery. Before they left, Lu Shiyuan looked at Huo Xunzhous car and said, I have an identical car that was stolen a few days ago, but Ill definitely get it back! Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Lu Shiyuans silhouette disappeared into the cemetery. Big Brother, Li Mo asked Huo Xunzhou. How did you know that Lu Shiyuan wouldnt open the car door? Only men know each other the best. Huo Xunzhou chuckled. Li Mo was speechless. Huh? But why was he getting more and more confused? Was he not a man? Huo Xunzhou nced at the surveince camera in the corner. Go and deal with it. Then, he got up and got into the car. Li Mo put the wheelchair in the trunk and went to deal with the surveince camera. Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu were the only two people in the narrow car. Lin Shanchu was the first to break the silence. Thank you, she said. When Lu Shiyuan was outside the car just now, her heart was hammering in her throat. She hadnt made any arrangements yet. If she were to be brought back by Lu Shiyuan just like that, she wouldnt be able to implement her future ns. Fortunately, Lu Shiyuan didnt open the car door in the end. Lu Shiyuan was a very conceited person. How could he allow his fiance to hide in another mans car? Even if he had guessed that she was in the car, he would not have opened the door for the sake of his pride. Huo Xunzhou recalled that every time they met, Lin Shanchu would always thank him. Are you just going to issue another verbal thank you? What? When she heard the mans voice, Lin Shanchu turned around to look at him. Her eyes fell into the alluring eyes that made her heart skip a beat. The space was already narrow, to begin with. At that moment, the air seemed to grow thinner. Then how do you want me to thank you? Lin Shanchu looked away in embarrassment. She started regretting her words the moment they fell. This question was no different from giving the initiative to Huo Xunzhou. Do you know how to cook? Huo Xunzhou asked without hesitation. Yeah. The necessary skill of a female lead in a sadistic novel was to prepare meals for the trashy male lead. Invite me to your house for dinner, Huo Xunzhou said. When he was young, Lin Shanchus mother brought him home for a meal. After that, he never had such delicious food again. It was unforgettable. Lin Shanchus eyes widened as she looked at him suspiciously. My house? Huo Xunzhou did not seem like the kind of person who would make such an abrupt request. However, he looked very serious and did not seem to be joking at all. Do you not want to ept that offer? Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow. Lin Shanchu slowly moved the corners of her lips in order to make herself look indifferent. But I dont have a home. Lu Manor was not her home. The old house of the Lin family had been demolished and rebuilt a few years ago. She did not have a home. Huo Xunzhous slightly curved lips were gently pressed down. A nameless stone was thrown into theke of his heart, causing ripples of pain and agony. It was as if he could see his homeless self when he was young. You can go to my house. He heard himself say this uncontrobly. Alright. The girl smiled with bright eyes. She was like azy andfortable cat. Huo Xunzhou was dazed for a moment. Big Brother, its all settled! Li Mo opened the car door and reported the situation to him. Huo Xunzhou held back the emotions in his eyes. Then, he replied, Alright. Li Mo started the car, already feeling that the atmosphere in the car had changed. He sneaked a nce at Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu through the rearview mirror and found that the two of them were looking out of the window on both sides, looking distant and cold. When they arrived at Tian Zhou Media, Nan Mu happened to be in a meeting. As soon as he heard that Huo Xunzhou was here, he quickly ended the meeting. Xunzhou, this show is really difficult to handle. Theres another girl who wants to quit, saying that she cant ept the secluded training. What do you Ms. Lin? Nan Mu began toin to Huo Xunzhou as soon as he entered the room. Halfway through his sentence, he realized that Huo Xunzhou and Li Mo werent the only ones in the room. Lin Shanchu was also there. Mr. Nan. Lin Shanchu smiled at him. Nan Mus eyes darted back and forth between Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. Ms. Lin, did youe here with Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu answered, Mr. Huo dropped me off because he happened to be on the way here. On the way here Thats good! Nan Mu dragged out his tone in an exaggerated fashion. This reaction was simr to Li Mos attempt to create a private moment between her and Huo Xunzhou. She didnt know why Nan Mu was behaving like Li Mo. Both of them thought that her rtionship with Huo Xunzhou was ambiguous. However, she decided to pretend that she didnt understand because her purpose today was toe to Nan Mu for help. Mr. Nan, you saidst time that I could seek you out if I needed help. Im here today to ask for your help. Nan Mus office was veryrge. The other end of the room was separated by a reception area. Sure, he said while pointing to the reception room on the other side. Lets go over there and discuss the details. Huo Xunzhou kicked Li Mo without batting an eyelid. Li Mo understood immediately. Ahem! Ahem! He pretended to clear his throat and coughed hard. He even shot looks in Nan Mus direction. Nan Mu immediately understood. Ms. Lin, I just remembered that the ce hasnt been cleaned yet. Lets talk here. Alright. Lin Shanchu shot a look at Huo Xunzhou thoughtfully. Huo Xunzhou nced at Li Mo as if nothing had happened. If you have a cold, go see a doctor. Li Mo was speechless. Nan Mu turned around and poured a ss of water for Lin Shanchu. Whats the matter? Lin Shanchu said, I want to participate in My Stage. My Stage was a talent show that used the seclusion method. 99 girls would be selected for training and stage assessment that wouldst for three months. The five most outstanding girls would be selected to form a female idol group and make their debut. Tian Zhou Media was the biggest investor in this show. Therefore, Nan Mu would definitely be able to arrange for her to join the show. ording to the timeline in the novel, the show had already entered the preparation stage, so she could still make it in time. Lu Shiyuansst words before he left the cemetery were what Lin Shanchu had heard. She knew that Lu Shiyuan wasnt just joking. He would definitely find her very soon. Therefore, before Lu Shiyuan could find her, she had to sign a contract with the production crew of My Stage. By then, she would already be a member of the production crew. Even if Lu Shiyuan found her, he wouldnt be able to take her away easily. Seriously? Nan Mu was excited. Lin Shanchu was confused. Nan mu exined, It just so happens that another girl left the show today. I was just worried that I couldnt find another recement. I didnt expect you toe! Although Huo Xunzhou was the real boss behind Tian Zhou Media, Nan Mu was the one who made the call on the investment projects. This included My Stage. People who could spark viral topics like Lin Shanchu were a blessing to the production crew, seeing as they could boost the poprity of the show. Ms. Lin, please wait for a moment. Ill get someone to bring the contract over now. Nan Mus grin was so wide that it could split his face in half. Wait a minute, Lin Shanchu said. Nan Mus expression changed abruptly. Youre not going back on your word now, are you? You cant do that! Lin Shanchu just smiled. Id like to ask Chu Gushen to draft the contract. Nan Mu started to panic. Why did she want to find Chu Gushen for such a contract? He knew something like this was going to happen. Sure. Huo Xunzhous voice suddenly sounded. Ill contact Lawyer Chu right now. Li Mo picked up his phone. Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Chu Gushen arrived soon after. Just like thest time she saw him, he was wearing a pair of silver-rimmed sses that made him look refined and serious. Mr. Huo. He first exchanged greetings with Huo Xunzhou before looking at the others. When his eyes fell on Lin Shanchu, he paused momentarily. Ms. Lin. Lin Shanchu briefly exined the purpose of inviting him. Please help me draft a contract, Lawyer Chu. Chu Gushen sat down and asked, Miss Lin, please tell me the requirements of the contract. I only have three requirements. Lin Shanchu looked at Nan Mu. I wont take up a slot on the debuting team, but I must remain with the production till the day when the idol group is formed. Most importantly, I cant withdraw from thepetition halfway. If I do, Ill have to pay a massive amount of penalty fees. Huh? Nan Mu, who thought he was very experienced in handling things, was also stunned. He thought that she had asked Chu Gushen for an exorbitant appearance fee. He had lived for a long time and had never seen an artist draft a contract with terms that were all beneficial to the production crew. It would be great if such a selfless celebrity could sign a contract with Tian Zhou Media. Chu Gushen was a very professionalwyer. He noted down Lin Shanchus requirements and asked with a normal expression, How much is the penalty? Lin Shanchu extended a finger. A million? Nan Mu guessed. Lin Shanchu shook her head and said very seriously, 10 billion dors. Bam! Nan Mu was so shocked that the elbow on his knee slipped, causing him to hit the coffee table with a loud bam. The other people present all revealed shocked expressions. Chu Gushen couldnt make up his mind. He turned his head and asked Huo Xunzhou for his opinion with a look. Huo Xunzhous arm was resting on the armrest of his wheelchair. His slender index finger tapped on the armrest at an irregr rhythm. He said in azy tone, 10 billion dors it is, then. He sounded like he was talking about something as trivial as eating and drinking. No way! 10 billion is too much! Nan Mu voiced his disagreement. This contract can be voided! Thats why Ill have to trouble Lawyer Chu, Lin Shanchu said calmly. After Chu Gushen nodded, he started to draft the contract. Nan Mu finally realized that Lin Shanchu had wanted to draft this unreasonable contract from the start, hence the reason to invite Chu Gushen. The more powerful awyer was, the more he would exploit loopholes in thew. Only Chu Gushen could draft an unreasonable contract and make it legally binding. Soon, the contract was drawn up and both parties signed it. Nan Mu still looked like he didnt know what was going on. Lin Shanchu held the contract and smiled with satisfaction. Lawyer Chu, let me walk you to the door. She wanted to talk to Chu Gushen about the follow-up matters of the will. As soon as they left, Nan Mu went to Huo Xunzhous side. Is there something wrong with Lin Shanchu? he pointed to his head. Li Mo, who was standing at the side, shot him a look that said good luck. Huo Xunzhou had always been fond of this woman called Lin Shanchu. To think that Nan Mu actually dared to say that Lin Shanchu was going insane. Huo Xunzhou nced at him, his face as calm as the surface of ake. However, he couldnt hide the deadly look in his eyes. Nan Mu felt a chill on his neck and quickly jumped away. I was just asking! Lets talk this out. Huo Xunzhou suddenly thought of something and asked, Has the shows host been decided? Nan Mu shook his head. Not yet. Were still in the middle of the discussion. Lin Shanchu walked Chu Gushen to the door. When do you have time, Ms. Lin? Lets go to the notary office together. A will needs to be notarized in order to have legal effect. Lin Shanchu thought for a while. I should still have free time before I join the production crew. Ill contact you when its time. After watching Chu Gushens car leave, Lin Shanchu returned to Nan Mus office. Nan Mu was so happy that he was running around the room. Its all settled! All 99 people have finally been gathered! With Lin Shanchus participation, the shows poprity will definitely soar! Hahahaha! When he saw Lin Shanchu standing by the door, he froze in ce. He no longer had the reputation as the ace manager. Nan Mu grabbed his hair, tidied his clothes, and said in a serious tone, Most of the time Im pretty serious. Lin Shanchu smiled without saying anything. After two seconds, she asked Nan Mu, when can I join the production crew? Within next week. Nan Mu deliberately put on a serious facade to show that he was indeed serious. Got it, Lin Shanchu replied. Lets go, Huo Xunzhou said at that moment. Lin Shanchu followed him out. Since both of them came together, were they leaving together as well? Nan Mus need to gossip red up. Where are you guys going? My ce, Huo Xunzhou answered. Both Li Mo and Nan Mu were shocked. Meanwhile, Lin Shanchu was perplexed. Under Lin Shanchus confused gaze, Huo Xunzhou reminded, Didnt we already agree on this in the car? Lin Shanchu replied, Yes. She had promised to go to his house to cook a meal for him as a thank-you gift. However, the way Huo Xunzhou phrased it Didnt it ur to him that it might be too ambiguous? Nan Mu felt as if his soul had been struck. When did you guys progress this quickly? As expected of Big Brother, Li Mo praised. Lin Shanchu felt the need to clear things up. Mr. Huo has helped me a lot, so Im going to his house to prepare him a meal as a thank-you gift. I helped you too! Nan Mu hinted madly. After he finished speaking, he turned around and picked up his phone. Then, he automatically followed behind them while urging, Lets go! I havent had breakfast yet, so Im hungry! Under Huo Xunzhous murderous gaze, Nan Mu shamelessly followed him to the formers house. Huo Xunzhou lived in Lin Jiang Vi District that was located in the city. The people who lived here were either rich or powerful. The security of themunity was very strict. The paparazzi couldnt get in at all. The car was parked in the open-air parking lot of the vi. When they got out of the car, Li Mo wanted to help Lin Shanchu carry the case. Ill do it myself. Lin Shanchu reached out and took it. After settling the issue with the production crew, Nan Mu, who was in a good mood, couldnt stop talking on the way. When he saw Lin Shanchus case, he ran over curiously and asked, Whats in this case Money, Lin Shanchu replied simply. Nan Mu was stunned. Lin Shanchu followed behind Huo Xunzhou and continued walking. Li Mo and Nan Mu walked behind them and chatted. Why do you think Ms. Lin is running around with a case of money? I also want to know the answer to that, Nan Mu replied faintly. Lets go, Li Mo said. Nan Mu whispered to Li Mo, By the way do you think something really is wrong with Ms. Lins brain? Li Mos expression turned serious. You cant let Big Brother hear this. Hell be unhappy. Nan Mu had also experienced the murderous look in Huo Xunzhous eyes. I mean, Ms. Lin does things in a strange way. I cant understand what shes thinking at all. Its good that you dont understand, Li Mo said. Li Mo sounded like he knew some inside information. Tell me more. Nan Mus eyes lit up. Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Smart people are all like this, Li Mo said with an unfathomable expression. Nan Mu was speechless. Most of the time, I cant understand what Big Brother is thinking. He and Ms. Lin are a perfect match! Li Mo borated. Nan Mu was speechless. On the way here, Lin Shanchu had been guessing that the decoration aesthetics of Huo Xunzhous house might be cool colors, which fit him. When she stepped into Huo Xunzhous house, she realized that not only was the house decorated in cool colors, but the atmosphere was also very cold. There was only a set of couches in therge living room. No other decorations could be seen. The entire vi was so quiet that there was no sign of life. It was even worse than a temte room. Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair and went to the kitchen to pour her a ss of water. Dont you usually live here? she asked when she took the water. Ive always lived here, Huo Xunzhou replied. Li Mo, who had just entered the door, quickly spoke up for Huo Xunzhou. Big Brother just likes spacious ces. He thinks that too much furniture is troublesome. Hes actually very rich. He couldnt let Ms. Lin think that Huo Xunzhou was poor. In order to elevate Huo Xunzhous status, Li Mo added with a serious expression, Big Brother is just as rich as Lu Shiyuan. Therefore, it was definitely the right choice to choose him! Lin Shanchu was speechless. Wasnt his intention to poach her a little too obvious? Li Mo! Huo Xunzhou chided. Li Mo, who was fearsome by nature, immediately lowered his head and became obedient. He looked a little pitiful. Li Mo? Lin Shanchu tentatively called his name. When he looked up, she asked, When will the groceries arrive? On the way back, Li Mo ordered some groceries online. Ill go out and take a look. Li Mo quickly ran out. For some reason, his silhouette made him look honest and naive. Lin Shanchu could not help but giggle when she saw this. She turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou looking at her. I want to take a look at the kitchen, she said, her smile immediately fading. The things in the kitchen were much more abundant than in the living room. It was evident that it was used frequently. Huo Xunzhou probably saw through Lin Shanchus thoughts since he took the initiative to say, I tend to prepare simple meals whenever Im home. After a while, Li Mo came in with some groceries. Do you need any help? he asked, rubbing his hands. If theres anything you need us for, just tell us. Nan Mu leaned against the door frame. Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair as he took out condiments from the cab. Seeing that they were so enthusiastic, Lin Shanchu took a handful of vegetables and handed them to Li Mo. Please help me filter the vegetables. She handed Nan Mu a garlic bulb and asked him to peel it. As for Huo Xunzhou What do you want to eat? she asked. Stir-fried potato slices, Huo Xunzhou replied. To think that the top actor actually liked to eat such simple and unadorned dishes. Without waiting for Lin Shanchu to speak up, Huo Xunzhou had already taken out a potato and started peeling it. Lin Shanchu recalled that when she was cooking at Lu Manor in the past, she often did it by herself. She would spend a long time preparing a delicious meal and wait for Lu Shiyuan toe home to eat. Even though Lu Shiyuan didnt go home often. Even if he were to go home, he would only take a bite or two. But she still felt happy. Lu Shiyuan would never ask her if it was hard to cook, let alone help out in the kitchen. It was as if he was born to be high and mighty, and she had to lower her posture and kneel in front of him. She had never received equality and respect from Lu Shiyuan. Im done. Li Mo showed the vegetables he had filtered to Lin Shanchu. He even had a proud expression on his face. Do you think this is okay enough? Lin Shanchu looked at the vegetables that only had a tiny yellow core. She was unable topliment Li Mo since it was against her wishes. Ill do it myself. Nan Mu, who was squatting in front of the rubbish bin while peeling garlic, frowned so hard that she could kill a mosquito. Why does garlic exist in this world? Damn it! Its so hard to peel! Lin Shanchu turned around and saw that Nan Mu had only peeled half a piece after a long time. They had been so eager to help just now. She thought that they had rich life experiences and could really help her out. Lin Shanchu reached out to him. Ill peel it. Nan Mu returned the garlic to her with a serious expression. I can do something else. Its fine. I can do it myself. She didnt think that Nan Mu, who couldnt even peel garlic properly, could do anything else. Nan Mu and Li Mo, the two useless kitchen hands, left the room together. In the end, only Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu were left in the kitchen. Huo Xunzhou peeled the potatoes very well. He did look like someone who could cook. After peeling the potatoes, he reached out to Lin Shanchu. Give me the garlic. Lin Shanchu silently handed the garlic to him. While she was washing the potatoes, she turned her head to look at Huo Xunzhou. The outer shell of the aromatic garlic was already peeled by his slender fingers easily. He looked like the one who was the least capable of doing household chores among the three men, but he did it so skillfully and readily. He was apletely different person from Huo Xunzhou, the top actor who shone brightly on the stage. Lin Shanchus mother had a unique skill that ordinary people didnt know, which was to cut potato slices in the palm of her hand. Lin Shanchu knew how to do it too. She learned it herself. She learned it for a long time. In the beginning, her palm would often be cut by the knife. Her skill got better after that. She ced a potato in the palm of her hand and held it with her fingers. Then, she used her other hand to cut the potato into thin, equal slices with a knife quickly. She finished cutting the potatoes very quickly. Just as she was about to turn on the tap to soak the potato slices, arge hand reached out from behind her and helped her turn the tap on. No one knew when Huo Xunzhou had stood up from his wheelchair, nor did anyone know how long he had been staring at her from behind. Lin Shanchu seemed to have understood something. You went to my mothers kindergarten when you were young. Did my mother bring you home for dinner? she asked. Huo Xunzhou had a calm personality. He was definitely not the kind of person who would act rashly. He must have his own reasons for everything he did. Yes, Huo Xunzhou replied in a low voice. The low tone was very alluring. Lin Shanchu resisted the urge to rub his ears. Ill handle the rest myself. You can leave too. Alright, he said. Huo Xunzhou then sat back in his wheelchair and left. Even at home, he had to sit in a wheelchair. However, he was clearly a healthy person. In this world, everyone had their own difficulties and secrets that could not be told. Lin Shanchu made four dishes and a soup. Considering that the men had big appetites, she made arge portion of the dishes. Li Mo and Nan Mu came over to help serve the dishes while muttering, The food smells so good. Their saliva was almost dripping down. When they were eating, they ate in a polite manner. After all, Huo Xunzhou was there. The three of them looked to be about the same age, but Huo Xunzhou had the strongest aura. All he needed was one look, and the other two men would settle down. Nan Mu noticed that Lin Shanchu was eating very little and thought that she was trying to lose weight. You should eat more. Youre already very thin. Youre already very pretty in front of the camera in your current condition. Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Lin Shanchu had no appetite because of her terminal illness. But she still smiled and responded, Okay. I watched your livestream. Nan Mu continued to praise her. You look really good on camera. Lin Shanchu asked, You even watched my livestream? Everyone watched it. Even Xunzhou watched it. Nan Mu thought about how he had been so eager to win the lucky draw at that time and felt embarrassed, so he dragged Li Mo and Huo Xunzhou into the conversation. Lin Shanchu just smiled. Huo Xunzhou did appear in her first livestream. He even watched it for a long time Ow! As soon as Nan Mu finished speaking, Huo Xunzhou kicked him from under the table. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. She saw Huo Xunzhou put thest potato slice on the te into his own bowl and ate it with the rice emotionlessly. It was as if he didnt hear them at all. On the other side, Lu Shiyuan was looking for his mothers belongings in the ashes of the burned ruins. The police were here before. They said that the fire started in your study, so this is where the fire was the most severe. The elderly butler stayed by his side and helped him look for something in the ashes. After Lu Shiyuan heard what he said, he smiled gloomily. I see. Brother Shiyuan. Tang Qidais voice came from afar. Qidai, why have youe? Lu Shiyuan quickly got up and walked toward her. I heard that there was a fire at your house, so I immediately rushed over. Tang Qidai furrowed her brows and asked worriedly, Are you alright? Im fine. Lu Shiyuans eyes stared at the possible location of the study room in the ruins. How did it get burned like this Tang Qidai followed his line of sight, her eyes flickering. Then, are Aunts relics also She paused for a moment. Lu Shiyuans expression told her that his mothers belongings had all been burned to nothing. Brother Shiyuan, dont be sad. Aunts spirit wont me you. After all, this was just an ident. It wasnt an ident. Lu Shiyuans voice was dark. What? Tang Qidais eyes widened in disbelief. Are you saying that someone set Lu Manor on fire? She remembered Lin Shanchus recent crazy antics and probed, Could it be Shanshan? Tang Qidai was used to observing Lu Shiyuans emotional changes. She could feel that Lu Shiyuans aura became much sharper after she mentioned Lin Shanchu. Is it really Shanshan? Tang Qidai revealed a look of disbelief before asking with concern, Where did she go? Is she alright? Shes doing very well, Lu Shiyuan sneered. How could Shanshan do such a foolish thing? Doesnt she know how important Aunts belongings are to you? Tang Qidais tone was as understanding as she could be. I seriously dont understand what Shanshan is thinking. How could she do such an outrageous thing? Lu Shiyuan sighed slightly. Qidai, Ive told you long ago that its useless to reason with Lin Shanchu. If she had half of your kindness, she wouldnt have caused so much trouble! Tang Qidai lowered her eyes slightly to hide the smugness in her eyes. When she raised her head again, her eyes were filled with concern. Brother Shiyuan, Shanshan wasnt like this when she was young. Shes done so many things that made us sad recently. Could it be because shes sick? What do you mean? Ive watched a foreign movie before. The main character in the movie was diagnosed with a mental illness, and his personality changed drastically. He often did some strange things. She softened her voice and guided Lu Shiyuan in a bewitching manner. Do you think its possible that Shanshan is sick, which prompted her to be like this? Lu Shiyuan recalled Lin Shanchus recent actions. Compared to before, her temperament had indeed changed greatly, as if she was apletely different person. Whether it was Lin Shanchu hosting a livestream and fighting with Tang Qidais fans or cing a 30 million dor vase as the prize of a lucky draw, it was something she would never do in the past. Seeing that Lu Shiyuan had already taken her words seriously, Tang Qidai continued, Why dont we send Shanshan to an asylum for treatment? This time, she set the house on fire. Fortunately, she didnt get injured. But what if theres a next time? She might not be so lucky every time, right? Asylum? Lu Shiyuan looked a little hesitant. Were doing this for her own good. If we dont care about her, who else will? Tang Qidai continued. After a long while, Lu Shiyuan nodded. Youre right. We cant just leave her like this. Tang Qidai gently hugged his arm and consoled him. One day, Shan Shan will understand our good intentions. Once Lin Shanchu was admitted to the asylum, it didnt matter if she was sick or not. As long as the doctor said she was sick, she had to be treated in the asylum. At that time, even if Lin Shanchu was not sick, she would be driven crazy. When that happened, the position of President Lus wife from the Lu Corporation would be hers! Lin Shanchu, that little orphaned b*tch, should have been eliminated long ago! After being kicked by Huo Xunzhou, Nan Mu became quiet. He wanted to leave after the meal but was called back by Huo Xunzhou. Do the dishes. Nan Mu had already run to the door, but he was forced toe back dejectedly to clear the table and do the dishes. Li Mo was more self-aware. Without waiting for Huo Xunzhou to say anything, he went into the kitchen to do the dishes. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou sat in the living room. They didnt speak, but they didnt feel awkward. This was because Lin Shanchu was busy thinking about where she should go next so that she wouldnt be found by Lu Shiyuan before she joined the production crew of My Stage. Nan Mu said that she would be able to join the production crew by next week. However, it was only the weekend. If she could only join the production crew next weekend, she would have to find a ce where she could stay for a week. She had already seen Lu Shiyuans ability for herself. Previously, she had refused to apologize to Tang Qidai. She ended up getting chased out of the hotel. Lu Shiyuan is still looking for you, Huo Xunzhou said suddenly. Where do you n to go next? Lin Shanchu felt that he was probably in a good mood after eating, so he took the initiative to ask her about this. I havent thought about it, Lin Shanchu replied. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything else. It was as if he had just mentioned it casually and had no intention of helping her. In the entire novel, Huo Xunzhou was actually the only person who couldpete with Lu Shiyuan. She had really reached a point where she had no other way out. She did just burn down Lu Shiyuans house and his mothers belongings. He would definitely make her life a living hell. Why dont you take me in as a gesture of goodwill, Brother Xunzhou? Before Lin Shanchu opened her mouth, she made mental preparations on the inside. Even though she spoke in a joking tone, she could not hide the nervousness in her voice. Chapter 29 Chapter 29 It was not easy to ask for help. Especially for someone like Lin Shanchu who had never received a positive response, begging was more like an act of umting disappointment. Huo Xunzhous expression was still very indifferent. His alluring eyes were cold and distant. He would reject her, right? He definitely would. Im not a kind person. Huo Xunzhous voice was melodious and carried the same coldness as his aura. It was an expected answer. However, Lin Shanchu still felt a trace of disappointment in her heart. Its Fine. But I can take you in. Lin Shanchus words were interrupted by Huo Xunzhou. She looked at Huo Xunzhous cold and handsome face. Her heart started beating quickly. Are you sure? Huo Xunzhou had seen her embarrassed look when she was forced by Lu Shiyuan. He had reached out to her but never asked about her situation. He was not a kind person. From her point of view, it was only natural for him to refuse to take her in. But I wont take you in for nothing, Huo Xunzhou continued. Lin Shanchu was stunned for two seconds. After she registered everything, she could not hide the smile on her face.I like to cook. Huo Xunzhou did notck money. He wasnt interested in women. The only thing she could do for him was to cook for him. Huo Xunzhou nced at Lin Shanchu and did not say anything. Soon, Li Mo and Nan Mu finished washing the dishes and came out. Take Ms. Lin to the guest room, Huo Xunzhou ordered Li Mo. Nan Mu, who was about to take out his phone and surf the inte, was bbergasted. He had only gone to wash the dishes with Li Mo, and Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu had already agreed to live together! After Li Mo took Lin Shanchu upstairs, Nan Mu went up to Huo Xunzhou and asked, Arent you guys progressing a little too fast? What? Huo Xunzhou frowned. Nan Mu continued with a serious expression, Lin Shanchu has already signed a contract with My Stage. Shes now a reserve member of the girl group. Girl group members arent allowed to date. You guys can continue this when the show is over Huo Xunzhou finally understood what Nan Mu was saying. Have Li Mo apany you to the hospitalter. What for? Nan Mu was confused. Huo Xunzhou replied, Get your brain checked out. Nan Mu was dazed for a few seconds before he protested angrily, Youre calling me stupid again! Just like that, Lin Shanchu stayed at Huo Xunzhous house. She had only brought a case of money and an old rabbit doll with her when she left Lu Manor. She needed to buy clothes and daily necessities. Huo Xunzhou asked Li Mo to take her to the mall. The car had just left Huo Xunzhous house when Li Mo sensed a car following them. Ms. Lin, sit tight. Having heard this, Lin Shanchu grabbed the handle of the car roof. After the car made a few turns, Li Mo lost the car behind him. Lin Shanchu looked at Li Mo from the rearview mirror and saw that his expression was very calm as if he was used to this kind of thing. Did someone stalk him often? Or, to be more precise, people might be stalking Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was a mysterious man. Lin Shanchu entered the mall and quickly picked out three sets of clothes. She also bought some daily necessities and returned to the car. On the way back, they encountered the car that had been following them. Li Mo didnt expect the car to be able to catch up, and his expression became a little impatient. Lin Shanchu silently held the handle above her head. Ive steadied myself. Her tone was so calm that Li Mo nced at her from the rearview mirror. As expected from the woman who caught Huo Xunzhous attention. She was so calm when faced with problems. Li Mo tried to shake off the car behind him like before. But this time, he couldnt shake it off. Li Mo frowned and slowed down the car. He lowered the window to see who was the amazing driver. When he saw the driver clearly, he eximed in surprise, Lu Shiyuan?! He quickly rolled up the window and sped up. When they passed an intersection, they finally left Lu Shiyuan behind for a short time. Lin Shanchu knew how difficult it was to deal with Lu Shiyuan, so she took the initiative to say, Li Mo, find a ce to park. Ill take a taxi back. Lu Shiyuan might have been left behind now, but he would definitely catch up with them soon. If she got off halfway, even if Lu Shiyuan caught up with her, it would be of no use. Li Mo stopped his car at the bus stop. After Lin Shanchu got off the car, she immediately got on a bus. When the bus started, she squeezed through the crowd and looked out of the window. She happened to see Lu Shiyuans car passing by. He quickly disappeared from her sight. Lin Shanchu got off at the next stop and took a taxi back to Huo Xunzhous house. At this moment, Li Mo was leading Lu Shiyuans car in circles. He would never be soft-hearted when dealing with his big brothers love rival. Soon, Lu Shiyuan realized that Li Mo was deliberately leading him in circles. He understood that Lin Shanchu was no longer in the car. He clenched his fist and punched the steering wheel in anger. Lin Shanchu, Ive really underestimated you! He gritted his teeth and said to himself. Lin Shanchu was not in the car, so he had no need to continue chasing. Li Mo then drove back to Huo Xunzhous house. Lin Shanchu arrived home before Li Mo. When she entered the house, Huo Xunzhou was justing out of the kitchen with a ss of water. Huo Xunzhou was a smart man. He could roughly guess what had happened when he saw her empty-handed. Their eyes met. The lingering fear in the girls eyes was apparent. Do you want some water? He asked. Lin Shanchu nodded. Huo Xunzhou pushed the wheel of his wheelchair and brought the water to her. Lin Shanchu took the water, raised his head, and drank it all in one go. She finally came back to his senses. Then, she thanked Huo Xunzhou. Thank you, she said. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. He turned around and walked back to the kitchen. Ill get you some water. Lin Shanchu quickly stepped forward. Huo Xunzhou had poured the water for himself just now. Lin Shanchu changed the cup and poured him a new cup of water. Huo Xunzhou went upstairs with the water. Lin Shanchu looked at the time, realizing that it was almost dinnertime. Mr. Huo. Huo Xunzhou stopped and turned to look at her. What do you want to eat for dinner? Lin Shanchu asked. Huo Xunzhou thought for a moment and frowned slightly. Anything. Then Ill just make whatevers in the fridge, Lin Shanchu probed tentatively. Huo Xunzhou nodded in silence and entered the elevator. Not long after, Li Mo returned. He heard some movement in the kitchen and walked over. Ms. Lin, Ive left your things in the living room. Ive caused you trouble. Lin Shanchus face was apologetic. Li Mo nced at the red braised fish in the pot and swallowed his saliva silently. Its no trouble at all, Lin Shanchu saw this and said, Well be able to eat in ten minutes. Okay. Ill go upstairs and call Big Brother for dinner. After Li Mo finished speaking, he disappeared like a gust of wind. Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Big Brother! Li Mo stood at the door of the study. After knocking twice, he waited quietly. Then, Huo Xunzhous voice rang out from inside. Come in. Li Mo pushed the door open. Huo Xunzhou looked up at him from theputer. Youre back. What was with this concerned tone? Li Mo hesitated. After reviewing everything that had happened today and making sure that he had not done anything wrong, he continued to walk forward with confidence. Ms. Lin said that dinner is about to be done. He stopped in front of Huo Xunzhous desk and rubbed his hands in anticipation. Yes. Huo Xunzhou was still looking at him. Li Mo started to think about what he had done after he entered the room. Big Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. Im flustered when you look at me like this. What happened on your way back? Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips. Li Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. So this was what Huo Xunzhou wanted to ask. He told Huo Xunzhou in full detail about Lu Shiyuan following them on their way back. In the end, he did not forget to praise Lin Shanchu. Fortunately, Ms. Lin is smart and got off the car halfway. Lu Shiyuanpletely missed her. I even took him on a goose chase for a while. Huo Xunzhou was silent for a moment. Lets eat. For the next few days, Lin Shanchu stayed in Huo Xunzhous vi and did not go out. She didnt know what Huo Xunzhou and Li Mo were busy with. They left early in the morning and returnedte every day. She could only see them during breakfast and dinner. Lin Shanchu felt a long-lost sense of peace. She finally had time to log into Weibo to see what had happened recently. The open-screen advertisement on Weibo was a brand endorsed by a male celebrity called Ji Yuan. She remembered that thest time she saw this brands advertisement outside, the spokesperson was Fu Jue. The name Ji Yuan was not unfamiliar, though. He made his debut at the same time as Fu Jue, and the two of them had simr personas. Fu Jue was always better than him, so he was often suppressed by him. Since the two of them were simr, after Fu Jues scandal, arge number of fans went over to Ji Yuans side. Most of Fu Jues resources were also snatched by Ji Yuan. Such an astonishing execution ability was enough to show that Ji Yuans managementpany was very strong. Lin Shanchu searched for it out of curiosity and found out that Ji Yuan was a signed artist under Tian Zhou Media. No wonder the teams execution ability was so strong. In the original novel, she had spent most of her time thinking about love and had never really done anything about her career, so she didnt know much about the entertainment industry. The lifespans of popr celebrities were short, to begin with. Therefore, most popr celebrities would change their style after they had a firm foothold. Fu Jue, who was at the top of the list, had flipped over before he could gain his foothold. Hence, it would be very difficult for him to make aeback. Neither Ji Yuan nor Tian Zhou Media would give him the chance. It would continue until Fu Jue was slowly forgotten. This was the entertainment industry. Compared to Fu Jue, Tang Qidai was much luckier. The fans who had caused trouble in Lin Shanchus live broadcast room had been wiped out by the team in the past few days. Tang Qidais main page was peaceful and quiet. There were even promotions for the new show. The fire at Lu Manor had also been covered up by more eye-catching news. To Lin Shanchus surprise, there were evenizens who sent private messages to ask if she was fine. There were all sorts ofments under thest post. Some scolded her for destroying Fu Jue. Some asked her when she would be livestreaming again, There were even some people who bashed her for being so narrow-minded and not letting her fianc make friends. It was difficult for a weak person to achieve great things. If she wanted to destroy Lu Shiyuan, she had no other way but to make herself stronger. A day before the assembly of My Stage, the shows official Weibo ount released a partial list of the members. Some members who had their own fans had already started to rmend their idols in thements. There was also a portion ofizens who purely came to look at pretty girls. Lin Shanchu clicked on the official Weibo ount and realized that the topment under the Weibo post was a familiar person. Sugar Ginger: [This is amazing! Their looks make them look like goddesses at war with each other! Im already starting to worry about which pretty girl I should vote for! Sob!] There were thousands ofments below: [I knew that Sugar would show up wherever the pretty girls are!] [Hahaha! Sugar, please be more refined!] [As you all know, Ginger loves looking at gorgeous people the most!] [I predict that Sugar will only upload her videos once per year just to look at pretty girls!] When Lin Shanchu saw thisment, there was a knock on the door. Mr. Nan. When she opened the door, she saw Nan Mu standing outside. Nan Mu held the lollipop that was previously in his mouth. Were all friends, so dont be courteous with me. Just call me by my name. Under Nan Mus expectant eyes, Lin Shanchu slowly said, Nan Mu. Yeah! Nan Mu replied in a pleasant voice. Then, he changed the topic and said seriously, What are we having for lunch? He looked like a puppy that had been hungry for three days. Stewed beef, Lin Shanchu answered. Stewed beef is great! Xunzhou and I both love it, Nan Mu said and turned to leave. Did you forget something? Lin Shanchu asked lightly. Tomorrow was the gathering day for My Stage. Nan Mu must havee to Huo Xunzhous house today to talk to her about the show. Sh*t! Ive forgotten what Im here for once I heard that theres good food! Nan Mu smacked his own head. Then, he returned. The production crew will gather at 10 oclock in the morning tomorrow. Dont bete. The camera crew will be following you as soon as you arrive. Prepare three months worth of clothes. Then again, with our rtionship, you can tell me in secret if you need anything! Nan Mu even winked at her. Lin Shanchu hesitated and asked, Whats our rtionship? The thing you have going on with Xunzhou, of course. Were all on the same side. Nan Mu gave her a look that said you know what I mean. Lin Shanchu looked behind Nan Mu. What? Eek! Nan Mu turned around and was startled by Huo Xunzhou, who had appeared behind him. He eximed, Werent you downstairs? When did youe here? Huo Xunzhous face was expressionless. It was when you said were all on the same side. Nan Mu choked and changed the topic. Did you change your wheelchair again? Why isnt there any sound? Can you exin whats going on between me and Lin Shanchu? Huo Xunzhou asked. Well Nan Mu slowly put his index fingers together and carefully looked at Huo Xunzhou. This kind of thing. The moment Huo Xunzhous face darkened, Nan Mu immediately jumped behind Lin Shanchu and hid. His movements were very fluent. Lin Shanchu, save me! Lin Shanchu was speechless. She pursed her lips nervously when she saw Huo Xunzhous cold and gloomy expression. She was also very afraid, okay? Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Nan Mu didnt know where he got his confidence from, but he felt that she could save Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu had the self-awareness of living under someone elses roof. Its gettingte. Im going to cook. She did not want to get involved in a battle between men. After Lin Shanchu got out of Huo Xunzhous line of sight, she left quickly. Nan Mu looked at Lin Shanchus back in disbelief, Look at her, Xunzhou. Women are heartless. He turned to look at Huo Xunzhou as he spoke. He then realized that Huo Xunzhou was also looking in the direction of Lin Shanchus departure, the corners of his mouth lifting up slightly. What are youughing at? Are youughing at me? Nan Mu was a little sad. Huo Xunzhou retracted his gaze and said coldly, Has Lu Shiyuan been causing you trouble these past two days? When it came to business, Nan Mus expression became serious. That b*stard didnt just cause trouble for me. He also wanted to mess with Ji Yuan. Although he didnt find any evidence that we boosted the poprity of Fu Jues topic, he should have guessed that we were the ones who did it. Be careful, Huo Xunzhou reminded him. Got it, Nan Mu replied. While they were eating, Nan Mu and Li Mo both had serious expressions. However, this did not stop them from finishing the food. If Lin Shanchu the outsider wasnt here, they might have just licked their tes clean. The more Lin Shanchu looked at them, the more she felt that they were eating theirst meal. It was as if this was thest meal in their lives. Are you guys full? she asked. The two of them nodded in unison. Nan Mu sighed sadly. When I think about how youre going to join the production crew tomorrow and how I wont be able to eat your cooking anymore, I feel bad for myself. Lin Shanchu reminded him, Im just recording a show. Im not dead yet. Oh, youre right. Nan Mu had a look of realization on his face. Do the dishes, Huo Xunzhou said while looking at Nan Mu. The three words were filled with disdain. Nan Mu scratched his head before running to do the dishes happily. In the past few days, as long as he had dinner with Huo Xunzhou and the others, Huo Xunzhou would let Li Mo and Nan Mu do the dishes. The feeling of being respected was something Lin Shanchu had never experienced. People should live like this, shouldnt they? Before Nan Mu left, Lin Shanchu stood up. Ill walk you out. Nan Mu was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that she might want to tell him something. Alright. Xunzhou, Im leaving. Nan Mu looked at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was looking at his phone. He nced at Nan Mu. Nan Mu, who was very familiar with him, could see the displeasure in his eyes. Huh? Was he unhappy because Lin Shanchu wanted to walk him out? He had no idea that Huo Xunzhou was the jealous type. Nan Mu walked out with a smile. Lin Shanchu did not know what he was happy about. It was impossible for her to ask about it too. At the door, Nan Mu turned back to look at her. Whats the matter? Can you help me round up a few reporters tomorrow? Lin Shanchu asked unhurriedly. Of course. The production crew has already made arrangements for this. Lin Shanchu was one of the highlights of their show, so of course, they had to create some poprity and market the show. Lin Shanchu knew that Nan Mu had misunderstood her. Lu Shiyuan will definitelye to the venue to look for me tomorrow. Look for was the nice phrase to describe it, but the exact word would be catch. Nan Mu was also a wily old fox in the entertainment industry. When he heard her say this, his eyes lit up immediately. I understand! Dont worry! Ill definitely get this done! Thank you, Lin Shanchu said. I already told you that you dont have to be so polite with us Did you tell Xunzhou about this? Nan Mu changed the topic. Stunned, Lin Shanchu shook her head. Nan Mu can easily handle the small matters. Was there a need to tell Huo Xunzhou? Hurry up and tell him when you get back. After getting into the car, Nan Mu felt the need to remind her worriedly, You must remember to tell him. When Lin Shanchu went back, she noticed that Huo Xunzhou was still ying with his phone in the living room. His well-defined fingers quickly swiped across the screen. The speed at which he flipped the pages Could he really see the contents of the phone? Mr. Huo. Lin Shanchus voice interrupted him as he flipped the pages. After a two-second pause, he simply threw his phone aside and looked at her with a faint smile. You call me Brother Xunzhou when you need me. Then its Mr. Huo when you dont. Nan Mu was right; women were that heartless. Li Mo, who was walking down the stairs, happened to hear Huo Xunzhous words. He immediately shrank back in fear and hid at the top of the stairs like a thief. Then, he stuck his head out to look over. Lin Shanchu was speechless. It was the first time she heard Huo Xunzhou speak in such a weird tone. He sounded a little angry. After Lin Shanchu carefully thought it over, she asked tentatively, Are you angry? Why should I be angry? Huo Xunzhou snorted. Whats there to be angry about? Lin Shanchu said, I Seek out Nan Mu if you need help with anything, Huo Xunzhou interjected coldly. Lin Shanchu always had a good temper. However, since Huo Xunzhou kept interrupting her, it caused her temper to re and her voice to rise tremendously. Cant you let me finish speaking? Li Mo, who was hiding at the top of the stairs, thought, Woah! Theyre arguing right now! It turned out that Ms. Lin also had a temper. This was the first time Huo Xunzhou had heard Lin Shanchu speak so loudly. He stared at Lin Shanchu for a moment. When he turned his head away and averted his gaze from her, there was a trace of indiscernable panic in his actions. Sure. He wasnt actually angry just now. On the contrary, it was the same as thest time she called him crazy. He thought that Lin Shanchu was quite cute whenever she was angry. Li Mo, who waited for the drama to erupt, thought, Wait, what? He was very disappointed, thinking that he would be able to see the two of them quarrel. I want to let Lu Shiyuan know when I join the production crew tomorrow. Smart people could always quickly analyze more information from a simple sentence. Thats very risky. Huo Xunzhou frowned. He had seen how Lu Shiyuan treated Lin Shanchu. If anything were to go wrong during the process which might lead to Lin Shanchu getting caught by Lu Shiyuan on her way to the shooting location, she would still suffer from physical harm even though she could still join the production crew in the end. As long as I can achieve my goal, risks like this are nothing. Lin Shanchu smiled indifferently as if she was talking about a normal thing. She didnt care that she would get hurt. She seemed to have no attachment to this world. Her ultimate goal in life was to destroy Lu Shiyuan. Under the calm and gentle face was a soul that was on the brink of insanity. Ill get Li Mo to drive you there. Huo Xunzhou realized what he had said and sighed silently in his heart. He felt that he was not a good person. Every time he saw her like this, he couldnt help but feel bad for her. Maybe it was because she was Madam Nings daughter. Its fine. Li Mo had his picture taken in the past. Everyone knows that hes your subordinate. This was her own business. There was no need to drag Huo Xunzhou into it. Huo Xunzhou wanted to say, Its fine. However, as the words were about toe out of his mouth, he suddenly remembered what he had said to her a long time ago. I didnt help you with anything, and no one can help you except yourself. Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Lin Shanchu seemed to have fully absorbed his words back then. She didnt trouble others ever since. She no longer sought help. For the first time, he tasted a hint of regret. He should not have said such cold words to her when he knew that she was in a difficult situation. In this world, who could guarantee that they would never ept help from others? Ill go prepare the things I need to take with me tomorrow. Lin Shanchu turned around and went upstairs. When Li Mo saw Lin Shanchuing up, he quickly retraced his steps, then turned around and went downstairs as a pretense to have bumped into Lin Shanchu. Ms. Lin. Lin Shanchu smiled at him as a form of greeting. When she returned to her room, she suddenly realized that she still didnt understand what Huo Xunzhou was angry about. Downstairs. Big Brother. Li Mo, who had been eavesdropping at the corner, looked even more serious than usual because he felt too guilty. This was a habit of his. Once thoughts started upying his mind, his expression would be more serious. Huo Xunzhou did not even bother to expose him. Go and ask Lin Shanchu if she still needs anything. Take her out to purchase whatever she needs. Oh, okay. Li Mo felt that he had witnessed something incredible again. Fights were only fights. In the end, Huo Xunzhou still cared about Ms. Lin. He had only taken two steps when Huo Xunzhou called out to him. Li Mo. Li Mo walked back and stood still. Huo Xunzhous expression was a little uneasy. Dont tell her that I told you to ask that question. Understood, Li Mo replied excitedly. Huo Xunzhou was throwing a mini tantrum the whole time. It was so interesting to watch other people fall in love! He quickly went upstairs and knocked on Lin Shanchus door. Ms. Lin, do you stillck anything? I can drive you to get the things you need! Ive bought everything I need online over the past few days. Thank you. Li Mo left in disappointment. Lin Shanchu stood by the door and watched Li Mo go to Huo Xunzhous study thoughtfully. Then, she turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen. When she came out of the kitchen with a ss of water, she saw Li Mos back as he left in a hurry. Li Mo had been sent out on an errand by Huo Xunzhou again. Lin Shanchu walked to Huo Xunzhous door and knocked on it with one hand. Come in. Huo Xunzhou thought that Li Mo had returned, so he did not look up when he heard the door open. Whats the matter now? he asked impatiently. He raised his head when he heard the difference in the footsteps. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes. After cing the water ss in front of him, she took two steps back to keep a distance from him. Thank you, she said. Although Li Mo was warm to her, he was not warm to the point of caring for her. She knew that Huo Xunzhou had sent Li Mo to ask her if she wanted to go out and buy something. Huo Xunzhou, who had been exposed by Lin Shanchu, took the water with aplicated expression. Women were not only ruthless, but they were also extremely smart. The next day. Lin Shanchu got up early and made breakfast. She kept two portions in the refrigerator. After finishing her breakfast, she went upstairs to get her things. She had already packed her thingsst night. It was just that it was too inconvenient to carry such a big case of money now. Previously, she had asked Lu Shiyuan for cash because she was worried that Lu Shiyuan would find the digital traces left by her bank card. She didnt n to hide anymore, so she thought about saving the money in her ount. Lin Shanchu was deep in thought. When she walked to the elevator, she realized that Huo Xunzhou was also there. Are you leaving now? Huo Xunzhou nced at the case in her hand. Yes. Lin Shanchu noticed his gaze and exined, I want to deposit the money into my ount. Huo Xunzhou nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them entered the elevator. The cramped space was filled with the mans unique and cold aura. It was invisible, but it was filled with a sense of oppression. Fortunately, they only came down from the second floor, so the elevator door opened very quickly. Li Mo went downstairs before Huo Xunzhou. By then, he had already heated up the breakfast and ced it on the table. He walked out when he heard themotion outside. Ms. Lin, I thought you had already left. Im leaving right now. Lin Shanchus gaze shifted from Li Mo to Huo Xunzhou. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. Huo Xunzhou nced at her indifferently and went to the dining room. Li Mo was a little confused. Why didnt he send Ms. Lin off? The car I booked has arrived. Ill be leaving first. Lin Shanchu left with her luggage. Li Mo returned to the dining room. He saw Huo Xunzhou eating breakfast. Big Brother, Ms. Lin has just left. Huo Xunzhou didnt say anything. He started picking up his speed, though he still ate elegantly. How could he still eat at this time? Then, Li Mo saw Huo Xunzhou finish his breakfast unusually quickly. Huo Xunzhou stood up and pushed his wheelchair out with one hand. When he passed by Li Mo, Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him. Didnt you want me to send her off? Lets go, then. Li Mo took half a second to react before he caught up with Huo Xunzhou. I havent had breakfast yet! Ive already eaten, Huo Xunzhou replied. Li Mo was speechless. Whatever. It wasnt Huo Xunzhous first time being inhuman. When Li Mo drove out of the vi area, Lin Shanchu just got into the car and left. Ms. Lin is already in the car, Li Mo reported. Follow her, Huo Xunzhou said. Li Mo was speechless. So when he said send her off, he meant to follow behind the car. Lin Shanchu got off the car halfway to deposit the money. The bank had just opened. Soon, she was able to deposit the money into her ount. After getting in the car, she saw Nan Mus WeChat message. [The reporters will be here soon.] Lin Shanchu replied, [Okay.] Lin Shanchu immediately posted the location on her WeChat moment page. Lu Shiyuan had been looking for her all week. As soon as he saw Lin Shanchustest moment, he was like a hungry wolf that had seen meat. He brought his men and chased after her. Lu Shiyuan caught up with Lin Shanchus car when they were three kilometers away from the filming location of the production crew. Lu Shiyuan deliberately stopped the car and tried to force Lin Shanchu to stop. When the driver saw Lu Shiyuans car logo, he didnt dare to crash into it at all since it was a luxury car. He was so scared that he stopped by the side of the road. Lu Shiyuan was about to drive to the front to block their way. However, a ck car whizzed over and squeezed between Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuans cars. Lu Shiyuan was stuck in the corner and could not even open the car door. Lin Shanchu saw this and quickly urged, Sir, lets go. When the driver saw that the other car was also a luxury car, he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he quickly started the car and left. Lu Shiyuan was stuck in the corner and could only watch Lin Shanchus car leave. The ck car next to them lowered its window. Lu Shiyuan saw that the person inside was Li Mo and gritted his teeth in hatred. You again! Im sorry, President Lu. I didnt eat breakfast and drove the wrong way. After Li Mo said this in all seriousness, he wound up the window and turned to leave. He came and went in a hurry, as if he had really driven the wrong way. Lu Shiyuan naturally did not believe Li Mos words. He knew that Li Mo was Huo Xunzhous subordinate. However, he could not be bothered to find trouble with Huo Xunzhou at this time. The most important thing was to capture Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu! Dont even think about escaping! Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Lin Shanchus car drove to the entrance of My Stage. She got out of the car and looked outside. Young and beautiful girls stood in groups at the entrnace. Nan Mu, who was surrounded by the girls, was very eye-catching, and there were already photographers carrying their cameras and taking pictures of them. Although Nan Mu was surrounded by the girls asking him all sorts of questions, he had been paying attention to the situation at the intersection. He saw Lin Shanchu get out of the car and pretended to be surprised. Look! Someonesing over! Some lively girls started waving at Lin Shanchu before they even saw her. Hello! Do you need help carrying things? The girls ran over like a swarm of bees. When they saw that it was Lin Shanchu, they all showed surprised expressions. There was a moment of silence. Lin Shanchu held her luggage with one hand and greeted with a smile, Hello. The girls seemed to havee back to their senses and greeted her one by one. After that, they started to whisper. I think its that Lin Shanchu. She looks even more beautiful than in the livestream. She cant be here to participate in the show, right? I dont think so. Shes Lu Shiyuans fiance. Is there a need for her to participate in a talent show? Lin Shanchu looked at Nan Mu through the crowd. Nan Mu raised his head slightly, indicating for her to look behind her. Creak! A cars emergency brakes screeched against the ground. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw a group of ck carsing to a sudden stop at the intersection. The car door opened and Lu Shiyuan got out with a gloomy expression. He fixed his gaze on Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu, however, smiled uncharacteristically. What are you doing here? There was a hint of delight in her surprised tone. There was no trace of disguise. Lu Shiyuans eyes shed with doubt. At this moment, Nan Mu walked out from the crowd. President Lu and Ms. Lin sure are a loving couple! To think that youd bring your bodyguards to escort Ms. Lin all the way just to participate in a talent show! A group of bodyguards got out of the car behind Lu Shiyuan. However, he had specially brought them to catch Lin Shanchu. Lu Shiyuan had always been arrogant. From the moment he got out of the car, he only had eyes for Lin Shanchu and did not notice anyone else. He nced coldly at Nan Mu, his eyes full of disdain. He had no respect for Nan Mu at all. However, in the next moment. A group of reporters swarmed up from behind him and surrounded him. President Lu, did you especially escort Ms. Lin to the show? Whats your opinion on Ms. Lins participation in this show? Do you have any ns to marry Ms. Lin in the next few years? Ms. Lin, are you going to take the idol route? It all happened so fast that the bodyguards behind Lu Shiyuan didnt have time to react. Lu Shiyuan would usually bring bodyguards with him when he went out. Even if there were paparazzi following him, the bodyguards would stop him immediately. He had never encountered such a situation where he was surrounded by reporters and had no way out. The bodyguard finally reacted. They quickly stepped forward and pushed the reporters away. The reporters turned around and handed the microphone to Lin Shanchu as if they had made an appointment in advance. Ms. Lin, if you wanted to be an idol, why didnt you participate in President Lus show? Is it because theres a problem with your rtionship? Its been rumored that your rtionship with CEO Lu has gone downhill. Do you have any response to this? Ms. Lin, you havent had any livestreams recently. Are you preparing to participate in My Stage? What does President Lu think about you joining My Stage? Lin Shanchu was surrounded by reporters, but she calmly answered their questions one by one. Im not participating in any of the Lu Corporations shows. Im only here on My Stage to prove myself. Our rtionship is very stable. Otherwise, we would have canceled the engagement a long time ago, right? I discussed this with him in advance, and he respects my opinions a lot When Lin Shanchu said this, she looked at Lu Shiyuan with a gentle gaze. Weve already agreed that Ille here on my own today. I didnt expect him to bring his guys here to send me off. Lu Shiyuan couldnt help but be stunned by her affectionate eyes. When Lin Shanchu was very young, a director said that she was born to perform. The scene of the two of them looking at each other affectionately across the air was also photographed by someone. When she walked over to Lu Shiyuan, he was still in a daze. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Shanchu walked toward Lu Shiyuan. Dont worry about me. Ill take good care of myself. You have to take good care of yourself too. You should hurry up and go back now. Lu Shiyuan suddenly came back to his senses and reached out to grab Lin Shanchu, who was about to turn and leave, but Nan Mu held his hand instead. Hello, President Lu! Ive heard a lot about you! Do you have time for a chat? Lin Shanchu had already walked far away by then. She even turned back and smiled at him. The girls who were watching from the side were all cheering softly. Oh my god! Their romance is so cute! President Lu pampers Lin Shanchu too much! I can dream about this scene tonight! Their rtionship is really amazing! Lu Shiyuan cared about his pride the most. Lin Shanchu was certain that he couldnt possibly take her away in front of so many people, so she deliberately staged the whole thing. The truth was precisely that. Lu Shiyuan could only watch as Lin Shanchu entered the studio of My Stage. Ignoring Lu Shiyuans cold expression, Nan Mu smiled and suggested, Lets chat in the car? Lu Shiyuan knew that My Stage was a show funded by Tian Zhou Media. Lin Shanchu must have signed the contract with Nan Mu. Lu Shiyuan turned around and walked into the car. Nan Mu followed. As soon as he got into the car, he heard Lu Shiyuan state coldly, I want Lin Shanchu to leave the show. You can name your conditions. His confident and arrogant tone didnt sound like he was negotiating with Nan Mu. He was giving an order. Although Huo Xunzhou always thought he was stupid, he had never spoken to him in such a tone. Lu Shiyuan really didnt even know the basic respect between people. Arent you going to ask for Ms. Lins opinion? Nan Mu sneered. She doesnt need to have an opinion, Lu Shiyuan said impatiently. Alright then! Since were all in the same industry and well see each other often, I wont ask for any conditions as long as you pay the penalty for breaching the contract. Nan Mus expression turned cold as well. He took out a copy of the contract that he had prepared in advance. Lu Shiyuan didnt even look at the contract. Just contact mywyer. Sure! Nan Muughed in anger. He had never dealt with Lu Shiyuan before. He only heard that Lu Shiyuan was arrogant and looked down on everyone. Now, he had finally experienced it. No wonder Lin Shanchu, his fiance, wanted to mess with him! After getting out of the car, Nan Mu called the marketing department directly. Is it on the trending list? Keep boosting the poprity with money! You can spend as much money as you want! Money is all I have, after all! At the same time. A topic named #Lu Shiyuan thoughtfully escorted his fiance, Lin Shanchu, to participate in My Stage shot up to the top of the trending list like a rocket. Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Lin Shanchu was waiting in the studio. She found herself a seat in the corner and sat down. Then, she took out her phone to scroll through Weibo. She suddenly saw the top trending search: #Lu Shiyuan thoughtfully escorted his fiance, Lin Shanchu, to participate in My Stage Lin Shanchus lips curved up slightly and clicked on it. Lu Shiyuan had delivered himself to her doorstep, so it would be a waste not to take advantage of the poprity. She had given everything to him for so many years, but he went on and helped Tang Qidai be famous. Now, it was his turn to shine for his fiance. In the past, Tang Qidai had always been the one showing up on the trending list with Lu Shiyuan to show off their friendship. This was the first time Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu had publicly disyed their love together on the trending list. Although Lu Shiyuan was a businessman, he was also a celebrity in the industry. Who could control themselves from not reading the gossip regarding a celebrity? Anyone who clicked on the trending list couldnt help but take a look. Thements underneath the topic were extraordinarily lively. [Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu got onto the trending list together?! I thought I was mistaken, so I went out to take a look again! Sure enough, theyre the ones!] [I used to think that Lu Shiyuan was forced to get engaged to Lin Shanchu, but after seeing the picture of the two of them looking at each other, I believe that they are truly in love.] [He brought so many bodyguards just to escort her secretly. Is this the tale of romance between a fairy and a CEO? Im crying right now.] [Can someone tell me what kind of show My Stage is? Are all the girls on this show as good-looking as Lin Shanchu? I cant help but cry out of envy!] [I think its a talent show invested in by Huo Xunzhous former manager. I dont think the shows started broadcasting yet.] Everyones discussion gradually shifted to My Stage and Lin Shanchu. Of course, whenever Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu appeared, Tang Qidai would definitely be mentioned. [The treatment of a real fiance and a good friend is different.] [Can you not mention that killjoy of a woman underneath the topic of the engaged couples love for each other?] [Just wait and see. Tang Qidai is on her way to ride on the poprity.] By the time Tang Qidai found out about this hot topic, it had already gone viral. Thanks to the picture of Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan looking at each other affectionately, they attracted a lot of fans who loved their rtionship. Lin Shanchus Weibo fans also continued to increase. Tang Qidai muttered to herself in disbelief, How did this happen? Didnt they agree that they were going to lock Lin Shanchu up in an asylum? Why was Lu Shiyuan still escorting Lin Shanchu to the show? Not only did it make it to the trending list, but it also went viral! She had appeared on the trending list with Lu Shiyuan so many times, but the topics never went viral. That b*tch really stole the limelight this time! Sister Dai, everything is ready over there. You The assistant came in and urged her to go for the shoot. Tang Qidai was still in a fit of anger, so she turned around and shouted at her, Get lost! The assistant cried as she went out to look for her manager. Her manager came in and saw her staring at her phone with a gloomy face. She advised her, Daidai, dont mess around. Tang Qidai was so angry that she directed all her anger at her manager. Look at how those motherless maggots areughing at me on Weibo! Am I supposed to just watch that b*tch Lin Shanchu snatch Brother Shiyuan away?! Will Lin Shanchu, the b*tch who jinxed her parents to death, only know her ce when shes dead?! Tang Qidai was pacing back and forth in frustration and anger, her carefully styled hair now in a mess due to her pulling at it. The manager seemed to be used to it as she stood silently at the side and listened to her increasingly excessive abuse. She was the only one who knew that Tang Qidai, who used the persona of a rich youngdy, was actually a hot-tempered and jealous maniac. The manager only spoke up after Tang Qidai was done ranting. Now, no matter if you reply or not, thoseizens wille andugh at you. You might as well make a direct post on Weibo about it. At least you can get some poprity. As for Lin Shanchu, shes going to participate in My Stage and wont be in contact with the outside world for three months. We have plenty of ways to deal with her outside. Tang Qidais expression gradually returned to normal. Then Ill let her have her moment for a couple of days! Tang Qidai made a Weibo post with this topic in mind. Tang Qidai: [ #Lu Shiyuan thoughtfully escorted his fiance, Lin Shanchu, to participate in My Stage Oh my god, Shanshan and Brother Shiyuan are a perfect match! #blessing] Theizens who had previously ridiculed her quickly rushed over. [Oho! Whoever predicted this is godly! Sure enough, shes here to ride on the poprity.] Tang Qidais fans quickly came over to defend her. [Daidai is beautiful and kind. She specifically posted on Weibo to give her blessings to her good friends.] [Shes just trying to give her well wishes to her good friends on Weibo. This doesnt mean shes riding on the poprity.] Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuans newly-gained rtionship fans entered the fray. [You keep saying that theyre good friends. Has Lin Shanchu ever admitted that shes good friends with your idol?] [Tang Qidai has posted this for a long time, but Lin Shanchu didnt even react to it with a like. Dont you guys have any idea whats really going on?] [Lin Shanchu is unlucky to have such a good friend!] In the rtionship between the three of them, other than Tang Qidais die-hard fans who empathized with her, the others did not fall for the so-called good friends trope. Tang Qidais fan: [Lin Shanchu is participating in My Stage today, so she has no time to browse through her phone. She and Daidai are good friends. They have a very good rtionship. There is no need for us fans to quarrel like this and let others see us as a joke.] What a coincidence. Lin Shanchu, who supposedly had no time to browse through her phone, was madly scrolling through Weibo. She finally understood why Tang Qidai always dragged Lu Shiyuan onto the trending list to gain poprity. Looking at the increasing number of fans, Lin Shanchu sighed on the inside. This is amazing! When she saw the posts of her rtionship fans and Tang Qidai, she went straight to the main page and liked thement of a verified ount who praised her beauty. The rtionship fans quickly took a screenshot of the interaction and pped Tang Qidais fans in the face with it. [Its true that our pretty sister doesnt have time to y with her phone. She only has enough time to like an inte celebritys post. Anyway, she doesnt have the time to react to the post of a certain good friend.] Now that Tang Qidais fans were humiliated, they started to bash Lin Shanchu angrily. But this time, theizens were all on Lin Shanchus side. [Who gave you the right to criticize the loving rtionship between the fairy and the CEO?] Lin Shanchu quietly exited Weibo after reaping the fame. Just then, Nan Mus phone call came in. Lu Shiyuan has already left. That idiot Ahem, I mean Lu Shiyuan didnt even look at the contract. He just said that he wanted to pay the penalty for breaching the contract straight away and make you leave the production crew. Nan Mu was unable to hold back for a moment. Since he kept thinking that Lu Shiyuan was an idiot, he couldnt help but say it out loud. Lin Shanchu heard the words clearly and agreed with Nan Mu. Its true that hes an idiot. Huh? He did not expect that Lin Shanchu, who looked so polite and cultured, was capable of cursing. Lin Shanchu was just about to speak when a new call came in. When she saw the caller ID, she smiled. Lu Shiyuan is calling me right now. Let me answer it first. Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Hearing this, Nan Mus tone became excited. Then he must have found out about the 10 billion dor penalty. You should take the call first, Im hanging up now. That was close. He almost said the word idiot again. Lin Shanchu had been in contact with Nan Mu for a few days. She knew that he was a charismatic and cautious person. He must have been very angry with Lu Shiyuan, so he couldnt help but call him an idiot whenever he was mentioned. As soon as the call was connected, Lu Shiyuans flustered and exasperated voice was heard. 10 billion?! Lin Shanchu! How dare you collude with others to set me up! Lin Shanchus tone was very calm. Are you saying you cant afford to pay the penalty? You Lu Shiyuan choked for a moment. Even if the Lu Corporations market value was 100 billion dors, he would not be able to fork out 10 billion dors in liquid capital. You cant even afford the 10 billion dor penalty, and yet you still have the face to call me? Lin Shanchu smiled contemptuously before hanging up the phone. Lu Shiyuan only came back to his senses after being ridiculed by her for a long time. After he regained his senses, he called Lin Shanchu relentlessly like a maniac. In the end, Lin Shanchu turned off her phone. He then called Nan Mu. President Lu, have you prepared the penalty fees? Nan Mu asked. Still pissed off, Lu Shiyuan replied darkly, Nan Mu, youve been a manager for so many years. You should know that the amount of liquidated damages written in the contract you signed with Lin Shanchu is against the rules! Its a little too much, but Nan Mus tone was filled with approval. After a slight pause, he suddenly changed the topic. You can always sue us! Oh wait, Ms. Lin was the one who signed this contract. Shell have to be the one to sue us, right? Nan Mus tone became regretful. Hurry up and persuade Ms. Lin to sue us. Weve hired Chu Gushen as ourwyer. Call me when youre ready, President Lu. Im very busy with the show. Lu Shiyuan didnt have a chance to speak at all as he was bombarded by Nan Mus words. By the time he reacted, Nan Mu had already hung up the phone. He was so angry that he smashed his phone on the spot. On the other side, Nan Mu, who had just hung up the phone, felt refreshed. Finally, he was able to vent his anger. The thought of Lu Shiyuans situation that made him both furious and helpless at the same time made Nan Mu so happy that he wanted to host a banquet for three days straight at Yong Shui Pavilion. Nan Mu hummed a little tune as he called Huo Xunzhou to report the situation. Xunzhou, let me tell you this I already know everything. Lin Shanchu had told him before that she wanted to inform Lu Shiyuan when she was participating in the show. Huo Xunzhou had already guessed her purpose. Lin Shanchu had signed the 10 billion dor penalty contract early in the morning to set a trap for Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan was arrogant and conceited. He probably didnt think that his fiance, who had always been so weak that she couldnt take care of herself, could carefully n such aplete trap. He even let Lin Shanchu and My Stage ride on his poprity for nothing. In this game, Lin Shanchu and Nan Mu were the final winners. Nan Mu chuckled. Xunzhou, I think Lin Shanchu isnt a simple girl. Shes determined to screw with Lu Shiyuan. I really want to sign her to ourpany. Huo Xunzhou was silent for a while before he coldly said, Screw? Nan Mu was speechless. Was that the main point? Okay. Fine. Ill put it another way. I think Lin Shanchu really wants to deal with Lu Shiyuan. I think we have the same goal! Thats why I want to sign Lin Shanchu to ourpany. Do you think thats okay? Have you thought of the consequences? Huo Xunzhous tone was much better than before. Signing Lin Shanchu would be the same as making Lu Shiyuan an enemy. Nan Mu exined, Lu Shiyuan has been dominating this circle for a long time. Everyone else has been suffering because of him. Others may be afraid of him, but Im not! After he shouted the slogan passionately, he continued, I definitely cant handle him alone, but I still have you, dont I? Huo Xunzhous tone was still nonchnt. Do whatever you want. Nan Mu said excitedly, So you agree, then? Ill start making arrangements right away! Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuans hot topic went viral. This directly led to the continued rise in poprity of Lin Shanchu and My Stage. Lin Shanchus name became the top most searched keyword on the real-time search list for celebrities. The number of searches for My Stage alsopletely surpassed that of the other shows in the same period. The production crew wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so they decided to broadcast the members first gathering. As it was ast-minute decision, they werent left with much time. The members quickly touched up their makeup in the waiting room. The students who were already acquainted with one another did makeup for each other. Lin Shanchu did not know anyone, so she touched up her own makeup. Just as she was about to put away herpact mirror, she heard a cool female voice from the side. Hey! Lin Shanchu looked up. A girl with shoulder-length hair looked at Lin Shanchu expressionlessly. She looked pretty cool. The premise was that one had to ignore the eyebrows of different lengths and the blush that was as red as a baboons butt coating her cheeks. The girl looked at Lin Shanchu. Can you help me with my makeup? Although she was asking for help, her tone did not sound like she was begging for help at all. Even so, Lin Shanchu did not feel the slightest bit of difort from being offended. Lin Shanchu held back herughter and responded, Sure thing. When the girl got the answer, she took her chair to Lin Shanchu and sat down face to face. Lin Shanchu took out the makeup remover from her bag. Ill have to remove your makeup first. The girl raised her head and closed her eyes. She had a calm expression that said you can do whatever you want. She suddenly remembered that she hadnt introduced herself, so she said, My name is Yun Wu. This name sounded a little familiar. Lin Shanchu was about to say her own name, but Yun Wu beat her to it. Youre Lin Shanchu. I know you. Lin Shanchu paused and asked, Why did you ask me to help you with your makeup? There were more than 90 people in the room. Yun Wu could have chosen someone else to help her with her makeup. If I ask someone else for help, they might be jealous of my beauty and deliberately make me look ugly, Yun Wu replied. But you wont do that. Huh? Thats because youre more beautiful than me, replied Yun Wu. Although Lin Shanchu felt that something was wrong, she could tell that Yun Wu wasplimenting her beauty. Thank you, she said. While the two of them were talking, Lin Shanchu had already finished removing her makeup. Can I open my eyes now? Yun Wu asked with a frown. Sure, Lin Shanchu replied. Yun Wu opened her eyes. Lin Shanchu realized that she also had a pair of alluring eyes. Yun Wu studied her face. Her eyes stopped on her thick and long eyshes. Did you put on fake eyshes? No, I didnt, Oh. Lin Shanchu started to do Yun Wus makeup. She stared at Yun Wus face. The more she looked at him, the more familiar she looked. Lin Shanchu could not help but ask, Have we met before? Nope. Seeing Lin Shanchus confused expression, Yun Wu exined coldly, I was able to recite a literature named Chu Shi Biao from memory when I was three years old. I have a very good memory. Lin Shanchu praised, Youre amazing. Its nothing. Yun Wu raised her chin slightly in a proud manner, making her look a little childish. Lin Shanchu thought she was a little cute. At this moment, an idea shed in her mind. She remembered who Yun Wu was. That was Huo Xunzhous rumored girlfriend in the original novel. Chapter 36 Chapter 36 In the original novel, Lin Shanchu had never interacted with Huo Xunzhou. It was only when the finale was about toe that she identally read the rumors of Huo Yunzhou and Yun Wus rtionship. That was the only scandal Huo Xunzhou had. Lin Shanchu was not clear about the follow-up of this incident. She only remembered that Huo Xunzhou did not appear to rify. However, didnt the system say that Huo Xunzhou had no love line? Lin Shanchu finally remembered the stupid system that she had blocked. Lin Shanchu called out to the system in her mind. Hey idiot,e out for a moment. The system, which had been restarted, was extremely touched. [Host, you finally remembered my existence!] Lin Shanchu asked, Are Yun Wu and Huo Xunzhou an official match? The system searched for a while. [There are spoilers involved. I have no right to view them.] Lin Shanchu was speechless. As expected, she shouldnt have had any expectations from this useless system. Lin Shanchu was multitasking and was a little distracted when talking to the system in her mind. She gradually stopped applying makeup on Yun Wu, but her eyes were still staring at her. After getting stared at like this for a long time, Yun Wu ufortably stroked her hair and asked in an awkward tone, Am I that pretty? Lin Shanchu suddenly came back to her senses andughed. Yup. Yun Wu wasnt the kind of person who would stun others at first nce. She had the confidence that ordinary people couldnt have. She was full of energy, and it was hard for people not to be attracted to her unique charm. Yun Wu brushed a few locks behind her ear, already sounding more awkward. If you want to stare at a beautiful woman, you can always look at yourself in the mirror. Hurry up and help me with my makeup. The others are done. Lin Shanchu put on makeup that screamed cool and nihilistic in ordance with Yun Wus temperament. Yun Wu took a mirror and looked at herself. She stared at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. Do you not like it? Lin Shanchu asked. I like it, Yun Wu muttered. She looked at Lin Shanchus beautiful and slender hands. Were this womans hands filled with magic? Her own beauty made her want to tear up. At this moment, a staff member came over. Are the members ready? Come over and get ready for the livestream. The members stood in an orderly manner. Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu were arranged to be at the end of the line. As soon as the livestream started, manyizens came in from the trending list. [Im here to look at pretty girls.] [Is there anyone else whos here for Lin Shanchu other than me?] [Im here for Qiao Jiaxi.] [Jiaxi, were here!] [I just followed the trending list. I heard that this show features many pretty girls.] The host stepped forward. Hello, everyone. This is the first online gathering for the members of My Stage. Next, we will be meeting all 99 members of this show. You can interact with the heart icon located on the lower left corner if you see a member that you like. After the livestream, the members who are ranked higher on the heart list will be given an additional round to show off themselves The members began to introduce themselves in order. For the members who already had a fan base, their fans had already arrived at the live broadcast room to support them. The directors crew connected it to a big screen on the side so that everyone could see real-time images and thements. Everyone was staring at the big screen and whispering to each other from time to time. It was already past lunch time. Lin Shanchu was terminally ill to begin with, so she was starting to feel ufortable. She lowered her head, trying to relieve some of the difort in her body. The system noticed her abnormality and asked, [Are you in pain again?] Im just a little ufortable, Lin Shanchu replied. The system suggested, [I have cards that can relieve physical difort. You can get them by doing missions. ] Lin Shanchu chuckled coldly. By doing the kind of missions that involves Lu Shiyuan abusing me? The system was so guilty that its voice became softer. [You can also do other missions such as deepening the entanglement with the male lead.] Lin Shanchu ignored it. The system kept speaking in a small and humble tone. [Anyway, its fine as long as you do something thats entangled with the male lead.] Okay, Lin Shanchu repliedzily. At this moment, Yun Wu, who was beside her, reached out and pushed her. Lin Shanchu turned her head, and Yun Wu signaled her to look at the big screen. Someone is scolding you in thements. She stated the truth in a t tone. Thements all wrote, [Can Lin Shanchu sing or dance? What could she prove bying to this show? Are you going to y dead on the stage?] [The queen of tardiness in the entertainment industry is probably going to put on a show of standing everyone up on the spot.] [Not only is she ugly, but she doesnt have any talents as well. She even took up a spot for nothing. How disgusting.] [Ille back to watch it again after Ugly Lin leaves this show. Goodbye.] Lin Shanchu just scanned the screen before retracting her gaze. She lowered her head and closed her eyes to continue resting. Are you not angry? asked Yun Wu. Lin Shanchu replied in an indifferent tone, If I get angry whenever I see people scolding me, Id have died a long time ago. Youre quite strong, Yun Wu said to her with a serious face. Thanks. Lin Shanchu finally understood that the way Yun Wu praised people was really different. In the time that followed, Yun Wu would speak to Lin Shanchu from time to time. Lin Shanchu was not feeling well, so she did not have the strength to respond toward the end. She really didnt expect that Yun Wu, who looked cold and aloof, was actually a chatterbox. Yun Wu didnt mind the silence. She continued mumbling to herself the whole time. Is this girls hair blue? I also want to dye mine to that color. Why are your eyshes so well-structured? Shes so skinny. Doesnt she usually eat? Im hungry. Arent you hungry? Yun Wu asked Lin Shanchu while rubbing her stomach. Lin Shanchu responded, I am. Itll be our turn soon, Yun Wu saidfortingly. Lin Shanchu slowly recovered. When she raised her head, it was Yun Wus turn. When Yun Wu went up, she saw thements cursing Lin Shanchu on the big screen. She frowned and blurted out, Why are you still calling Lin Shanchu ugly? Is this something you can say with a conscience? P[lease start your self-introduction, the host reminded. Anotherment flew across the screen, iming that Lin Shanchu was only able to y the role of dead people. Yun Wu retorted, So what if the role is of a corpse? Not everyone can y that kind of role. The host was speechless. Just like that, Yun Wu spent that precious minute attacking thementors. The production crew and the other members were shocked by her actions. Thements that ensued were [Im dying ofughter. This girl sure is fierce.] [Hey sister, there are only 20 seconds left. Hurry up and introduce yourself.] [What a brave girl! Ive be a fan of yours! The problem is, what exactly is your name?!] [Hahaha! Does anyone know whichpany does this girl belong to?] When the minute was up, the host immediately stepped forward. Times up. Please wee thest member. Thest member was Lin Shanchu. As soon as she appeared in front of the camera, the number of people in the live broadcast room instantly soared. Lin Shanchu stepped forward and bowed. Hello, everyone. The 98th member who said that not everyone can act the role of a corpse well is named Yun Wu. She is an individual member. To those who like her, please hurry up and interact with her heart sign. Chapter 37 Chapter 37 The hosts expression wasplicated. This batch of members was really hard to lead. Yun Wus minute was used to speak up for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchus minute was used to introduce Yun Wu. Thements responded, [A fairy will always remain as a fairy. Lin Shanchu is so beautiful that people cant take their eyes off her.] [This show is quite interesting! Ill remember who Yun Wu is.] [What kind of iron-like bond do Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu have? Its a rare opportunity for the former to introduce herself, but she only cared about speaking up for Lin Shanchu.] [The lilies of my hometown have bloomed again! Hehehe!] [Its over already? Why havent I seen Qiao Jiaxi?] The professional host kept talking while maintaining his usual expression. Alright, now that the final member has made her apperance, next up will be the voting session for the heart list. Among the 99 members present, only Lin Shanchu was rtively popr. Therefore, her ranking on the heart list shot straight to the top. The person who ranked first on the heart list would have an additional segment to showcase their talents. The system asked her, [What talent are you going to performter?] Lin Shanchu was stumped. She was just the female lead of a sadistic story. The plot didnt need her to be versatile. It only needed her to be a hopeless romantic who was crazy about Lu Shiyuan. She was just a beauty with no talent or skill. The system seemed to have thought of something because it added, [Oh, you dont have any talents.] Shut up, Lin Shanchu gritted out. The system instantly fell silent. There are only three minutes left, the host announced. At this moment, another members number on the heart list increased rapidly. It was showing signs of surpassing Lin Shanchus rank. The other members eximed in surprise. Woah! Whos that? Her poprity is growing very quickly! How amazing! Thats Yun Wu! The directors crew was also very good at causing trouble. They directly cut the frame to Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu. The two of them were focused on the data on the heart list on the big screen, not noticing that the camera was on them now. Did someone hire bots to boost my ranking? Lin Shanchumented, Someone doesnt want me to be be the winner of the heart list. Thements filled the screen. [Hahaha! Why are these two acting like theyre in aedic talkshow? I didnt expect Lin Shanchu to say such brutal things when she looks so gentle!] [Does anyone know Yun Wus background? Shes a really brave girl who dares to say everything thates to her mind.] [The question is, who doesnt want Lin Shanchu to get first ce on the heart list? That person must have been the one who employed bots just to boost Yun Wus ranking!] [The one who hired bots to create a stir in the rankings is too disgusting. That persons clearly trying to sow discord between Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu.] [Am I the only one who noticed that the hosts pupils were shaking?] [Host: Please save me.] It was too obvious that the bots were trying to mess with the rankings. With so many viewers watching in the live broadcast room, this matter could not be dealt with vaguely. Otherwise, it would affect the integrity of the show. Now that things had developed to this point, the shows executive producer, Nan Mu, could only go on stage to deal with the situation. Hello, everyone. Im Nan Mu, the executive producer of My Stage. I just received news that there was an error in the rankings of the heart list. Our production crew prioritizes integrity a lot, so weve decided to cancel the winners talent demonstration. Huo Xunzhou was too popr back then. He was very popr among people who didnt know him, which had a positive affect on Nan Mus poprity as well. He was the most suitable person to handle this matter. Thements said, [Its a pity, but I understand.] [Actually, I kind of want to watch Lin Shanchus talent demonstration.] The news of the heart list being hijacked by outsiders became a hot topic again. The production crew had gained a lot of poprity once again. The happiest person was, of course, Nan Mu. After the livestream ended, the staff had the members go have lunch. Nan Mu asked Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu to stay behind. Dont worry, you two. The production crew will definitely investigate the truth behind the heart list incident. Oh, is there anything else? Yun Wu asked. Nan Mu was speechless. Not for now. Then well?go have lunch, Yun Wu decided. After she finished speaking, she turned to Lin Shanchu and motioned for them to leave together. Lin Shanchu looked at Nan Mu. Well be leaving then. Er Wait for a moment. Nan Mu called Lin Shanchu to the side. Whats the matter? How long did you sign the contract with the Lu Corporation? If he wanted to sign with Lin Shanchu, he would have to make her terminate her contract with the Lu Corporation. Lin Shanchu answered, I didnt sign any contracts with them. Huh? You mean you didnt sign a contract with the Lu Corporation? Nan Mu looked at her in disbelief. Lin Shanchu chuckled. I didnt sign with any managementpany. In fact, she had once taken the initiative to mention to Lu Shiyuan that she wanted to sign a contract with the Lu Corporation. However, Lu Shiyuan had rejected her with a look of disgust. Nan Mu was overjoyed. Thats great! When the show is done recording, you can consider signing with ourpany. I still have something to do, so Ill be leaving first! Lin Shanchu looked at Nan Mus back as he walked away. The corners of her mouth slowly rose. After she was rejected by the Lu Corporation, she had thought about signing with other managementpanies. However, Lu Shiyuan held so much power in Xu City that nopany dared to sign with her. And now, someone was finally willing to sign with her. Although Huo Xunzhou had rejected her offer to work with him, being able to sign up for hispany was the same. She was one step closer to breaking away from Lu Shiyuans control. When Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu went to the cafeteria to eat, most of the students had already finished eating and left. Only a few people were still eating. The two of them sat down facing each other. Yun Wu ate two mouthfuls of rice and looked up at Lin Shanchu. What are you smiling for? Im happy, Lin Shanchu replied. Yun Wu blinked. She seemed a little curious, but she didnt ask anything. Lin Shanchus appetite was bad. She put down her chopsticks after a few bites and basically did not touch her food. Are you not eating anymore? Yun Wu stared at the untouched drumstick on her te. Lin Shanchu picked up the drumstick and handed it to Yun Wu wordlessly. Yun Wu was stunned for a moment, but she quickly picked up her te and received it. After that, she picked up the drumstick and quickly took a bite, as if she was afraid that Lin Shanchu would go back on her word. Very quickly, only the bones were left of the drumstick. What a good appetite she had. Lin Shanchu remembered the previous livestream and slowly uttered, Thank you. No need to thank me. Im not trying to help you. I tend to say what I think. Yun Wu didnt even raise her head. Lin Shanchu was a little envious of her carefree personality. In the afternoon, the production crew assigned the members to their dormitories. The first assessment and evaluation stage was set to be in a weeks time. The assessment stage would be prepared by the members themselvess. The production crew would not interfere in any way. They would not take away their phones this week, so the members could still go online. When everyone was choosing their dormitories, Lin Shanchu went straight to the room in the corner. When she entered the room, she noticed that it was meant for two people. Just as she put down her luggage, the door opened again. Yun Wu walked in with her luggage in one hand andy down on the other bed. Lin Shanchu looked at her for a moment. Then, she started tidying up her things. Yun Wu turned over andy on the bed to look at her. What kind of performance have you prepared for the assessment stage? Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Lin Shanchu thought for a moment. Singing. She had actually learned to dance for a period of time when she was young. However, she definitely couldnt dance in her current condition. Singing was rtively simple inparison. Do you want to form a group and perform with me? Yun Wu spoke very quickly. If it was not for the silence in the room, Lin Shanchu might not have heard what she said. Lin Shanchu asked, What performance are you doing, then? Dancing, said Yun Wu in a serious tone as she sat up. Lin Shanchu also sat on her own bed while facing Yun Wu. I cant dance at all. What if I y dead instead? You might as well take on the role of a vengeful ghost, Yun Wu choked out. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Wow. She would be acting as a vengeful ghost instead of a corpse. The two of them looked at each other in silence. Lin Shanchus eyes were as calm as water. Yun Wu could feel chills down her spine. Yun Wu could not help but straighten her back as if she was an elementary school student meeting face-to-face with the disciplinary teacher. Have you heard of Vengeful Ghost? Iposed a dance using this song. Do you want to try it out? Vengeful Ghost was the song that the geniusposer, Bai Yu, made his debut with. This song was about a person who had gone through so much suffering in his life. Having lost all hope, he finally fell into the deep abyss and became a vengeful ghost. When this song was first released, it swept through the charts of various major music tforms. Countless people made covers out of it. Even now, it was still on the trending music list. Lin Shanchu asked, The assessment stage is very important. Arent you afraid that Ill mess it up? I believe you wont mess it up. Yun Wu raised her chin. No one had ever trusted Lin Shanchu like this before. Her heart, which was like still water, rippled slightly. Lin Shanchu clenched her fingers and said firmly, Alright. Ill give it a go. The production crew acted very quickly. That night, they found out the truth behind the heart list. They even posted an announcement on Weibo. My Stage: [Regarding the incident where the heart list of the My Stage members who gathered for the first time got hijacked by outsiders, we have concluded our investigations and found out the truth. Also, weve informed the police] Everyone thought that this matter was over. Some time past midnight, a topic named #Lin Shanchu is a big bully was pushed to the trending list. Under the topic, arge number of marketing ounts were dispatched. [ording to an insider, the cause of the heart lists ranking incident was because Lin Shanchu forced a member who had already signed the contract with the production crew to quit in order to participate in the show. This members diehard fan couldnt take it lying down, so they decided to make Yun Wu the winner of the heart list] When Lin Shanchu got up, this topic had already reached the third ce on the entertainment list. The discussion rate was very high. The marketing ounts made it sound like it was real, so arge number ofizens had already found Lin Shanchus Weibo page just to scold her. [Did youe to this show to prove that you have power and influence?] [Ha! Its amazing to have a powerful and influencial fianc! She can easily destroy other peoples dreams!] [Return @Qiao Jiaxis dream to her!] [Get the hell out of the production crew, Ugly Lin!] [I almost became your fan when I saw you and Lu Shiyuan on the trending list yesterday. I didnt expect you to be this kind of person!] Although the marketing ounts didnt explicitly say who the victim was, theizens guessed that the so-called member who was forced to withdraw was Qiao Jiaxi. Lin Shanchu clicked into Qiao Jiaxis Weibo page. She was an idol with millions of fans. Lin Shanchu clicked on her picture, squinted her eyes slightly, and stared at it for a moment. Then, the corners of her lips curled up. What a coincidence. That was another acquaintance of hers. She was Tang Qidais cousin. In the original novel, Qiao Jiaxi tried her best to curry favor with Tang Qidai in order to sign into the Lu Corporation. She secretly seized the opportunity to help Tang Qidai deal with Lin Shanchu. However, Tang Qidai didnt like Qiao Jiaxi at all. She had no intention of letting her sign into the Lu Corporation. Since Qiao Jiaxi had evil intentions, naturally she had a bad ending. Youre on the trending list again! Yun Wu came out of the bathroom with her phone. Lin Shanchu, how many enemies do you have? Lin Shanchu thought about it seriously for a moment. Perhaps a few. Compared to Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai, Qiao Jiaxis level was nothing. You really dont care at all? Yun Wu asked after seeing her calm expression. Ill go make a call. Lin Shanchu did not answer the question. She entered the bathroom, closed the door, and called Nan Mu. As soon as the call was connected, Nan Mu spoke up before she could say anything. Ive seen the trending list. Dont worry, Ive already gotten someone to deal with it. Nan Mu used to be a manager, so he was very good at dealing with this kind of matter. Thank you. Lin Shanchu was naturally at ease. Dont be so polite. Nan Muughed. When Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu went to have breakfast, people looked at her strangely along the way. The breakfast was a buffet. Yun Wu loaded her te full with dishes. She ate while looking at her phone. Qiao Jiaxi made a post on Weibo as well. She handed her phone to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu nced at the contents of the Weibo. Qiao Jiaxi: [Ill keep marching forward bravely. All of my efforts wont be in vain.] This Weibo post made the passers-by and fans feel even more distressed. [Oh my god, youre so strong.] [My heart aches for you. Sadly, usmon folk can never fight back against the capitalists.] [I really hate Lin Shanchu.] [@Lin Shanchu, can you even sleep at night? Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning when youre walking outside?] Lin Shanchu remembered it very clearly. When she said that she wanted to participate in My Stage, Nan Mu had said that someone had voluntarily left the production crew and that they were short of people. Did they really think that the production crew was useless? The one who dared to pull off stunts like this just to ride on the poprity would only get swallowed up by the repercussions. Lin Shanchu retracted her gaze, indicating that she had finished reading. Seeing that she didnt even blink, Yun Wu asked in confusio. Are you even human? What? Why did she suddenly im that Lin Shanchu wasnt a human? This Qiao Jiaxi girl didnt even exin and even posted this kind of misleading Weibo post. Its obvious that shes trying to ride on the poprity and get people to scold you at the same time! Are you not angry? Lin Shanchu shook her head. Yun Wu was so angry that she stopped eating with a frown. She moved closer to Lin Shanchu and said in a low voice, Do you want me to help you find someone to expose Qiao Jiaxis dark history? Lin Shanchus expression finally had a slight change, You know Qiao Jiaxi? Yeah. Yun Wu nodded. We met when we were abroad. At that time, she was a trainee there. She came back because she couldnt survive abroad. Where are you from? Lin Shanchu was also a little curious about Yun Wus background. I came from Capital City, Yun Wu replied. Then why did youe to Xu City? Lin Shanchu asked again. Capital City was as good as Xu City. Yun Wu thought about it seriously and gave an answer that Lin Shanchu was very puzzled about. Well, its very lively here. There are a lot of people here too. Lin Shanchu was confused. After breakfast, the two of them went to the practice room. In the practice room, many members had gathered together to look at their phones. It was unknown what they were looking at. As they walked closer, Lin Shanchu vaguely heard her name being mentioned alongside Qiao Jiaxi. Chapter 39 Chapter 39 When Lin Shanchus Weibo was flooded with hatements, Qiao Jiaxi pretended to not see it and kept quiet. I seriously thought Lin Shanchu did force her to quit My Stage. Thats right. Now that someones showed up to p her in the face with evidence, she immediately made a rification and apology post on Weibo. She should just y dead if shes that capable. Qiao Jiaxi is too much. She just watched Lin Shanchu get scolded and didnt opt to exin for her. The members were all chattering away. Lin Shanchu had already understood what was going on. Nan Mu did things very quickly. He had already dealt with the matter while they were having breakfast. Some sharp-eyed members noticed Lin Shanchu. Shes here The others immediately quieted down and looked at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu smiled slightly. Her cat-like eyes were gentle and bright, as if she had walked out of a painting. She just stood there quietly, and yet she became the spotlight. She was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her. Most of the students in the production crew were 18 or 19 years old. They had not experienced the entertainment industry for themselves yet, so they were still rtively innocent. Although Lin Shanchu had a bad reputation on the inte, it was a fact that she had just been ndered, so most people still sympathized with her. Moreover, she was very good-looking. Humans were visual animals. Sometimes, being good-looking was indeed an advantage. We saw that someone on Weibo brought out evidence of Qiao Jiaxi voluntarily withdrawing from the production crew. She apologized to you on Weibo. A girl took the initiative to speak to her. Oh, really? Ill check it outter. Lin Shanchus voice was clear and soft. Her tone was neither fast nor slow, and there was a strangely gentle aura that made people want to get close to her. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she went to a corner with Yun Wu to practice her dance moves. Soft discussions could be heard from behind. Shes so pretty and gentle. She really has the aura of a socialite. Do you have any idea what shes done in the past? What is it? She gave a 30 million dor vase away during the lucky draw and even went to the Lu Corporation to host a livestream. As a result, she did Fu Jue in. I heard that shes a bit affected in this area Lin Shanchu did not need to turn around to know that the person who said thest sentence was pointing at her brain. Was she sick in the head? It was true. Lu Shiyuan was the one who forced her to be this way. She and Yun Wu sat down in a corner. Yun Wu took out her phone. She thought that Yun Wu was going to show her the dance video she had made, so she went over. To his surprise, Yun Wu opened her Weibo. She tapped on the hot topic that said #Qiao Jiaxis apology statement. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Were cold-hearted people that gossipy nowadays? Seeing that she hade over, Yun Wu handed her the phone. Qiao Jiaxi apologized to you for real. She even got scolded in return. How is it that the amount of people scolding her pales inparison to the amount that scolded you yesterday? Because shes not as popr as I am, Lin Shanchu said lightly. Yun Wu was speechless. Then again, it seemed to make sense. Lin Shanchu nced at Qiao Jiaxis Weiboments: [What the hell? I actually spoke up for someone like you yesterday!] [This kind of person with bad ethics should be banned!] [Even though Qiao Jiaxi is in the wrong, Lin Shanchu isnt a good person either.] [The ones who want to cause chaos are here! Were only talking about this particr incident! Qiao Jiaxi is the one in the wrong here!] [See, thats where Im confused. So many people are ndering Lin Shanchu, but what is it about her that made everyone hate her this much? Is there any evidence? ] [What Im saying is, did the people who scolded Lin Shanchu yesterday apologize to her today?] After Yun Wu was done reading through the gossip, she began to show Lin Shanchu the dance she had recorded. Lin Shanchu had learned dancing when she was young. Later on, she was busy with her studies, so she didnt continue learning, but she could see that Yun Wu had a strong foundation in dancing. Her explosiveness and stage performance were extremely strong. She was no longer at the level of an ordinary trainee. There are a few moves that might be too difficult for you, so Ill make some slight changes. However, I need to know how good your skills are first. Yun Wu pulled the progress bar of the video and said, Try this one out. This was the most skilled part of the dance. The human who could not bear the weight on the ground finally turned into a vengeful ghost, struggling in despair on the ground. She did a final somersault and rose into the air, representing the hope that she had regained. The first half of Vengeful Ghost was dark, negative, and desperate, but the second half was about the vengeful ghost escaping from hell and returning to the human world. The core of this song was hope. Alright, Lin Shanchu agreed. Lin Shanchu had not danced for many years, so she was a little rusty. She warmed her body up and tried to figure out the mood of the song. The so-called desperate struggle Wasnt that her current self? Lin Shanchuy on the ground as if she was bound by something invisible. She kept struggling but to no avail. She stopped struggling, as if she had given in. Suddenly, she jumped up. Her long ck hair drew a cold and sharp arc in the air, and her slender arms slid as if they had no bones. Thump! It was a perfect backflip. Yun Wus eyes widened. She looked as if she had been deceived. Is this what you meant when you said you couldnt dance? Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment. Thest time I danced was when I was ten years old. She just wanted to give it a try, but she didnt expect to pull off an actual flip. Theres no need for me to make any changes, then. Lets split the whole dance into parts so that we can start practicing. Lin Shanchu had no idea how to exin to Yun Wu that she was not lying to her. At this time, a scream came from the other side. Ah! Its Mr. Huo! I cant believe that Im able to see Mr. Huo in person during this lifetime! Lin Shanchu looked over and saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in a wheelchair at the door. Beside him stood Nan Mu. Li Mo stood behind him as well. He didnt look like he had just arrived. It was unknown how long he had been there looking at the room. After they were discovered, Li Mo pushed Huo Xunzhou into the room. Huo Xunzhous eyes swept over her indifferently as if he had not seen her at all. When the girls saw Huo Xunzhou, their faces turned red with excitement. Even though Huo Xunzhou was in a wheelchair, his status in the entertainment industry still remained. Hows everyones preparation for the first assessment? Nan Mu asked. Were preparing right now, the girls replied. Nan Muughed. Many of you are very capable. If you want to get a high rating during the first assessment, youll have to put in some effort. Li Mo looked for Lin Shanchu in the crowd as soon as he entered. After searching for a long time, he still could not find Lin Shanchu. He whispered to Huo Xunzhou, Big Brother, why cant I see Ms. Lin? Huo Xunzhou looked up and nced at Lin Shanchu in the corner. Shes not here. Yun Wu was showing the moves to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu nced at Huo Xunzhou and happened to meet his eyes. The two of them looked at each other for two seconds before Huo Xunzhou looked away. Meanwhile, Yun Wu, who stood across from Lin Shanchu, demonstrated the moves seriously. Noticing that Lin Shanchu was a little distracted, Yun Wu suddenly smiled. Do you like Huo Xunzhou as well? Lin Shanchu did not bother to exin. She remembered the scandal between Yun Wu and Huo Xunzhou and asked, Dont you like him? Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Although Huo Xunzhou is quite handsome, I already have someone I like. Yun Wus face turned red as she spoke. She even became embarrassed. Lin Shanchus mood was veryplicated. It seemed that she hadpletely messed up the plot of the original novel. As the two conversed, Nan Mus group had already made their way over. Nan Mu knew that Lin Shanchu had prepared a song for the uing assessment stage. He was surprised to see Yun Wu there. Are you two practicing together? Were performing as a group, Yun Wu exined. Hmm? Oh, as a group Nan Mu looked at Lin Shanchu with an expression that said I cant believe someone would actually team up with you. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and emphasized on her answer. Thats right. Were teaming up! Just how unpopr did Nan Mu think she was? Nan Mu realized that Lin Shanchu must have seen through his thoughts. He awkwardly cleared his throat before deliberately calling Yun Wu to the side to speak to her. With that, he created an opportunity for Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu to speak in private. Huo Xunzhou was so lucky to have such a thoughtful and sensible friend. Li Mo greeted Lin Shanchu warmly, Ms. Lin. Lin Shanchus gaze shifted from Li Mo to Huo Xunzhou. Why are you guys here? Nan Mu asked Big Brother toe, Li Mo replied. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Huo Xunzhou, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke. Why arent you singing anymore? Since Im already here, I just wanted to try this out. Lin Shanchu smiled. When she smiled, she looked innocent and didnt look like she had been wronged at all. She really looked like a carefree youngdy who had been pampered her whole life. Huo Xunzhou didnt say anything more and motioned for Li Mo to leave. Lin Shanchu was a little disappointed. She thought that Huo Xunzhou would wish her luck. It seemed like he didnt think she could dance either. Once they were out of the practice room, Huo Xunzhou asked Nan Mu, Is there an emergency doctor on duty 24 hours a day? Lin Shanchus physical condition was very worrying. He had seen that perfect backflip. This was only the beginning. In the next three months, there would be a lot of high-intensity training and movements. Lin Shanchus body would not be able to take it. However, he was in no position to stop her. Of course, Ive already arranged for him to be here, Nan Mu replied. Arrange for two more, Huo Xunzhou said. Oh, Nan Mu replied. Although he didnt know why, he would just do as his boss said. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the first assessment stage. The production had enjoyed the benefits of the livestream of the members first gathering, so they informed the students a few days in advance that the first assessment stage would also be on a livestream. The night before the assessment stage, the lights in the practice room were on all night. Influenced by the atmosphere, Lin Shanchu went back to the dormitory to practice for a little longer. She had been sleeping very well these days. When she was too tired from her daily practice, she would fall asleep as soon as she copsed on the bed. Just as she was sleeping dazily, she heard Yun Wu calling her. Lin Shanchu. Hmm? After the assessment ends tomorrow, well be officially joining the production crews training camp. Yeah. The dorms will be redistributed by then. Yeah. Lin Shanchu waited for a long time, but Yun Wu did not speak again. Just when she thought that Yun Wu had fallen asleep, thetter suddenly harrumphed angrily. Why did she suddenly get angry? Yun Wu? The only sound that responded to Lin Shanchu was the sound of someone turning around on the bed and pulling the nket over. Im asleep! Yun Wus muffled voice came from under the nket. Not only was this young girl talkative, but she was also quite emotional. The next day was Saturday. The livestream and recording of the first assessment started at two oclock in the afternoon. After Lin Shanchu finished her breakfast, she was reminded by Yun Wus huge appetite. Then, she grabbed two cartons of yogurt. When she passed by the door of the training room, many members were still training vigorously. Lin Shanchu looked inside and stopped in her tracks. She saw the girl who had taken the initiative to talk to her on the day Qiao Jiaxi had apologized. The girl was a very unique sweet girl. She had charming dimples whenever she smiled, making her look as cute as a female lead from Japanese anime. She noticed that the girl was still wearing the clothes fromst night and looked a little haggard. She had clearly practiced for an entire night. That girl was definitely hardcore. Thump! At this moment, the girl fell to the ground. Lin Shanchu quickly walked in and helped the girl up. An Youyun? An Youyuns weak voice was tinged with a hint of surprise. You know my name? I heard others call you that. Lin Shanchu was actually not sure if this was her real name. An Youyun smiled, revealing her cute dimples. Lin Shanchu resisted the urge to poke her dimples. She took out a carton of yogurt, inserted the straw, and handed it to her. Youre too tired. The recording will starst this afternoon, so take a break. An Youyun epted the yogurt with both hands and thanked her obediently. Thank you, Big Sister. She was too cute. An Youyun took two sips of yogurt and regained some strength. She said pitifully, Im bad at dancing. Im afraid that I might drag down my older sisters from the samepany, so I can only practice hard. Youre already doing your best. Lin Shanchu felt a little ashamed. Compared to An Youyun, she didnt put in much effort at all. Yun Wus here. An Youyun nced at the door. She often saw Lin Shanchu practicing with Yun Wu, so she knew that they had formed a group. Good luck. Lin Shanchu got up and went to find Yun Wu. Yun Wu Huan crossed her arms and walked quickly. Lin Shanchu called out to her a few times, but she did not respond. It was not until they reached a corner that Yun Wu turned around angrily. I knew it! You definitely have another younger sister behind my back! Speechless, Lin Shanchu felt like a husband who just cheated on his wife. You even brought her yogurt! Yun Wu continued toin. Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment, then took out another carton of yogurt from her pocket and handed it to Yun Wu. Yun Wu was delighted. So you still love me! Lin Shanchu finally came to her senses. You were angryst night. Was it because I didnt say that I would stay in the same dormitory as you after the assessment? Yeah Yun Wu replied awkwardly. Lin Shanchuughed and reached out to pat her head. After the rating is released, I can only choose my dorm ording to my level. I may not be able to share a dormitory with you. Then Ill choose the dorm with the most beds. Then, youll have toe with me, Yun Wu said after some thought. Lin Shanchu felt that something was wrong. Why cant I choose the dorm first? Do you think I cant get an A rating? There were five initial ratings C A, B, C, D, and F. Nope! Absolutely no way! Yun Wu shook her head frantically. At two oclock in the afternoon. The livestream of the show started on time. The members entered the venue one after another. The seats in the studio were arranged in the form of staircases. The higher one went, the fewer seats there were. The highest row only had one seat. Half of the members entered, but the seats were still empty. Thements all said, [Im dying ofughter right now. No one dares to sit at the very top.] [Thats the central position. Who would dare to sit there casually?] [Ill bet one cent that Xia Jinmeng will be the one to take that seat.] Chapter 41 Chapter 41 C Hey Everyone, IM Huo Xunzhou, The Stage Witness Chapter 41: Hey Everyone, Im Huo Xunzhou, the Stage Witness The discussion about the middle seat was very intense. However, there was no live broadcast on the big screen this time, so no one could see thements. As soon as Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu entered the arena, there was amotioning from the members. The number ofments also increased in an instant: [Im neither bragging nor hating on Lin Shanchu, but that white dress is 1000%patible with her.] [There really are people who look so good in clothes that resemble tablecloths. Im so jealous that Im crying right now] [So what if shes good-looking? Shes just a decoration who cant sing and dance.] [Yo hater, I love Lin Shanchu for her looks.] [Dont you guys think that Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu make a great couple with their ck and white outfit ensemble?] [Are they in a group? Holy hell, I really love the idea of them being together!] [Heh! Lin Shanchu isnt capable at all, so she thinks shell be able to gain fans by tagging herself with another member. How disgusting.] From thest live broadcast, the production crew understood that Lin Shanchu was the key to gaining the attention of the public. As soon as Lin Shanchu entered the venue, the camera was trained on her the whole time. She wore a in white dress today. Her thick long hair was syed behind her like dark ink, making her look beautiful and otherworldly. Some members gathered together and whispered, Lin Shanchu looks so beautiful in that white dress. I look forward to watching her performance. I saw her doing a dance practice with Yun Wu two days ago. I think its a dance that makes her look like a fairy. Yun Wu raised her head and nced at the seating arrangement. Where are we sitting? Lin Shanchu looked up and saw the middle seat that was located at the top of the stands. Lets sit at the very top. There was a pair of seats located right below the central position. Yun Wu ran to one of the seats and sat down. She grabbed the other chair while turning around to look at Lin Shanchu. Lets sit The moment Yun Wu noticed Lin Shanchu taking the top seat, she couldnt continue the rest of the sentence. The words Holy sh*t The haters are going to hate on you again were written all over Yun Wus face. This chair seems to be a little bigger than the others, Lin Shanchu said while looking rather serious. Yun Wu was speechless. She thought that Lin Shanchu was really dense at times. Newments quickly popped up on the screen. [Holy sh*t! Lin Shanchu has taken the middle seat!] [How the heck is she this brave?] [Isnt that Xia Jinmengs seat?] [Whats wrong with her taking the middle seat? Is Xia Jinmengs name engraved on that seat, huh?] [Im just a passerby. I think Lin Shanchus trying to gain everyones attention.] [You haters have too much time on your hands. You insist on hating Lin Shanchu no matter what she does.] Xia Jinmeng, who was frequently mentioned on the screen, entered the venue at this time. She had once made a name for herself overseas, thus already having her own fanbase. Now that she returned to the country and joined the talent show, she intended topete for the top spot as the main girl. Thepany that Xia Jinmeng had a contract with took a liking to her and allowed her to appear in other variety shows before. At the same time, thepany kept promoting her, so she maintained her poprity the whole time. However, Lin Shanchu appeared out of nowhere. The day she entered the production crew, she went viral. Xia Jinmeng, who was originally the most popr member of the show, ended up getting ignored by everyone other than her fans. As soon as Xia Jinmeng entered, she saw Lin Shanchu sitting in the middle seat. That seat should have been hers! A member who knew Xia Jinmeng greeted her. Jinmeng! Xia Jinmeng suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and replied to her with a smile. Thements were posted again. [Xia Jinmeng is so cool! Youre killing me with coolness, my long-legged goddess!] [Um Its obvious that Lin Shanchus legs are slightly longer] [So thats Xia Jinmeng. It seems that shes made a ton of appearancestely. She looks differentpared to the other members.] [I look forward to seeing Xia Jinmengs performance on the stage.] The members arrived one after another. Next up was the appearance of the mentors. The first to appear was the dance instructor, Qin Shuya. She was once a famous Chinese female singer. Even though she was nearly 40 years old, her voice and physical form were in excellent condition. She maintained her brilliant performance onstage as she sang and danced at the same time. She didnt even pant once she was done with her performance. Next was the singing instructor, Xu An. He had been the most popr male singer in the Chinese rankings for several consecutive years. Finally, Bai Yu, the music production instructor, was introduced. Thements went wild. [Is Qin Shuya capable of being young forever? She still looks beautiful as usual, not to mention shes amazing at performing!] [Xu Ans songs are still so touching.] [This is amazing! They actually invited Bai Yu to the show!] [The mentor lineup is too strong!] [A huge thank you to the production crew for allowing me to watch such wonderful performances without spending a penny!] The three instructors were all experienced and talented seniors. Typically speaking, one might not be able to secure tickets to their concerts even if they were to spend money. Everyone loved to watch a wonderful performance. The members were so excited that they cheered and screamed. Lin Shanchu was also excited. She pped madly for the mentors from the middle seat to the point that her hands were already sore. Her seat was too eye-catching, so the director did a close-up shot of her. Lin Shanchu was so engrossed in watching the performance that she stood up and apuded. Morements were posted. [Hahaha! Is Lin Shanchu seriously that crazy woman who keeps pping nonstop?] [Dear fairy, can you act more like a fairy instead of a human? At this rate, Id start thinking that youre a human instead!] [The way she jumps and screams makes her seem ssless.] [Please dont tell me that the reason thatdy joins this show is to cheer on everyone] Lin Shanchu did have the intention to cheer on everyone. The rest of the members clearly excelled in performing, whereas she was unable to perform well due to her weak body. Then again, since Lin Shanchu was already here, she might as well take up the middle seat and cheer on everyone in order to feel more inclusive. Thest person to show up on the stage was the stage witness. It was said that the stage witness was also a rtively famous senior in the entertainment industry. However, when the production crew made the announcement on Weibo, they never mentioned anything about the stage witness. Manyizens thought that the role of the stage witness was given to someone else. I heard that they changed the stage witness, Yun Wu turned around and whispered to Lin Shanchu. Oh. Lin Shanchu wasnt very concerned about this. With Nan Mus connections, he would definitely invite a famous and experienced celebrity to be the stage witness. All she had to do was to p for the guest. Someone said, Iming. Lin Shanchu started to p very seriously. Then, a collective of gasps sounded from the members. Hey everyone, Im Huo Xunzhou, the stage witness. The mans deep and maic voice came out of the microphone and echoed to every corner of the studio. The members began to scream. Ah! Its the best actor, Huo Xunzhou! Thement section also became lively. [The man who once conquered the entertainment industry with his looks is here!] [The production crew is awesome!] [The producer is Nan Mu, after all! How can they not be awesome?] Huo Xunzhou was wearing a white shirt without a tie. His cor was slightly open, revealing his Adams apple. He sat upright in his wheelchair while looking very noble. He raised his head and swept his gaze toward the members seating area. The initial stage assessment will now begin. The apanying staff pushed Huo Xunzhou to the mentors seating area. Huo Xunzhou then announced the first group of members. The first group of members came from argepany. Their performance was just average. In the group consisting of six members, two of them were ranked B, three were ranked C, whereas thest one got an F rank. Since there were only five avable slots for the girl group, that meant only five members could obtain rank A. Thepetition was very intense. The instructors were very strict. By the time it was Lin Shanchu and Yun Wus turn to perform, only an A-ranker was announced among the members that had performed. Huo Xunzhou looked down at his documents and said into the microphone, Next up, we have two individual members C Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu. The mans voice slowed down. When he called out Lin Shanchus name, he sounded affectionate in nature. Lin Shanchu silently rubbed her ears before drawing to her feet to go up to the stage with Yun Wu.. Chapter 42 Chapter 42 C Performing A Dance Of The Underworld While Wearing The Clothes Of A Fairy Chapter 42: Performing a Dance of the Underworld While Wearing the Clothes of a Fairy Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The moment Lin Shanchu appeared, morements flew across the screen. [The performance I want to watch is finally here.] [Im waiting for Lin Shanchu to make a fool of herself.] [I think these people are a little too much. What if she came prepared?] [If I were Lin Shanchu, Id just stand there just to show everyone how pretty I am without doing anything. At least, Id be able to regain some dignity by doing that.] The song, Resentful Ghost was yed at that moment. The students seating area went deathly silent for a moment. The instructors also swapped looks with each other. Only Huo Xunzhou was staring at the stage with an indifferent expression. Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu looked at each other and stood back to back. Their dance moves were neat and synchronized as if they were twins. From the instructors seating area, Qin Shuya was pleasantly surprised. She turned to Bai Yu and asked, What do you think of them? What do you think, Ms. Qin? Bai Yu asked in reply. Qin Shuya did not hide her excitement. This groups dance was such a pleasant surprise! The most exciting segment of Resentful Ghost started ying at that moment. This world is in shambles and ruins. The words rest in peace are uttered onest time. The resentful ghost is dressed in white. She stands among the dpidated ruins. She looks at the sunlight pouring through the cracks of the abyss. She is shackled, but she struggles to get up. Lin Shanchu knelt on the ground. The camera zoomed in for a close-up. Dust clouded her previously clear eyes. An expression filled with the struggle that stemmed from her desperate situation contorted her fair face. The pain she suffered from was silent yet great, and it almost crushed her. The darkness was swallowing her. Darkness tainted her eyes. Shey down quietly as if she had stopped struggling. Suddenly, she leaped up with all her might. Her long ck hair fluttered in the air. Her snow-white dress resembled a blooming flower. It was a perfect backflip. She floated freely in the air. It was like she was starting a new life. The song ended soon enough. Yun Wu turned to smile at her as she mouthed, Youre amazing today! Lin Shanchu did pull off the backflip during their practice, but it wasnt as perfect as thetest backflip. There were fine beads of sweat on Lin Shanchus forehead. Herplexion was pale, but she still tugged at the corner of her lips as a form of response. After three seconds of silence, thunderous apuse broke out. Following that, the instructors pped from their seats too. The two of them bowed together. Yun Wu was very satisfied with the performance this time. She even smiled this time, as opposed to maintaining her usual cool appearance. The dance instructor, Qin Shuya, picked up the microphone while eximing excitedly, Yun Wu, youre awesome! You have a strong foundation! How old are you this year? Twenty, Yun Wu replied. You have a bright future ahead of you! Qin Shuya said with certainty. I love your dance so much, so Ill give you an A! You must be an A-ranker! And you, Lin Shanchu! You really surprised me too! Your dancing skills are obviously not as good as Yun Wus, but not only did you not drag her down, you even cooperated well with her! Especially during the backflip, your expression made your performance even more perfect and charming! Qin Shuya pointed behind her while continuing, I heard the members behind us crying just now! Your performance is really great! Its definitely the performance that Im the most satisfied with since the start of the initial stage assessment! You and Yun Wu both deserve an A! When Yun Wu heard Lin Shanchu being praised, she looked even happier than when she got praised. She grinned while turning to look at Lin Shanchu, only to notice that there was something wrong with thetter. Lin Shanchu noticed that Yun Wu had noticed her abnormality, so she reached out and grabbed Yun Wus hand, indicating for her to not speak. Lin Shanchu had just finished dancing in the summer heat, but her hands were as cold as ice. Yun Wu couldnt help but shiver upon feeling the coldness. After going through a week without much trouble, Lin Shanchus cancer started acting up again. It was probably because the frequency of the attacks had increased, but she felt that it was not as unbearable as before. Lin Shanchus lips curved up slightly, her expression now looking normal. Thank you, Ms. Qin. Thements filled the screen. [I told my friend that I cried after watching someone dance, but she said I was just exaggerating.] [I didnt know Yun Wu is a hidden gem.] [I got goosebumps because of Lin Shanchus gaze just now.] [She performed a dance of the underworld while wearing the clothes of a fairy.] [I know, right? Her gaze made her look like an actual resentful ghost.] [Im starting a petition for Lin Shanchu to act the role of a lunatic beauty.] [The ones who imed that Lin Shanchu cant sing and dance, show yourselves!] Everyone witnessed Yun Wus skills. She deserved the A rank without fail. However, Lin Shanchus rating was controversial. After discussing among themselves, the instructors decided to give Lin Shanchu an additional test. Although Huo Xunzhou was not a mentor and did not interfere with the grading, the other mentors still asked for his opinion. What do you think, Mr. Huo? The difference in skill between Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu is too great. Its unfair to Yun Wu if Lin Shanchu gets an A after passing the additional test. Surprisingly, Huo Xunzhou didnt agree with the idea of giving Lin Shanchu an additional test. He even came up with a lengthy reason. Yun Wu was anxious when she heard this. She picked up the microphone with the intention to defend Lin Shanchu. However, Lin Shanchu was one step ahead. Mr. Huo is right. Yun Wu is very outstanding. She deserves the A. She was the one who choreographed Resentful Ghost by herself. I still have a lot to learn and improve on. Her voice was very soft, but fortunately, there was a microphone to amplify it, so it could still be heard clearly. Then, they continued the process. Huo Xunzhou announced the final rating of the two members. Yun Wu, A. Lin Shanchu, B. Yun Wu vaguely sensed that Lin Shanchu might not be feeling well. When the two of them got off the stage together, she was still holding Lin Shanchus hand tightly. As they passed by the instructors seats, Bai Yu suddenly picked up the microphone. Yun wu. The said girl suddenly stopped. Lin Shanchu turned her head and looked over, her eyes meeting with Huo Xunzhous. Remembering that the show was a live broadcast, Lin Shanchu retracted her gaze in time. Yun Wu returned to her usual cold and emotionless self. Whats the matter, Mr. Bai? Why did you use my song to choreograph the dance? I didnt know it was your song, to begin with, Mr. Bai. Ive never choreographed this type of dance before, so I wanted to try it. Lin Shanchu could detect the hostility underlining the short sentences. Bai Yu pursed his lips and put down the microphone. His reaction was a little suspicious. The atmosphere at the scene was a little tense for no reason. Yun Wu seemed to not feel it as she was ready to head up the stands while holding Lin Shanchus hand. The pain suddenly attacked Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchus vision blurred immediately as her knees buckled beneath her weight. She then toppled forward instantly. Arge hand reached out from the side and supported her steadily. The help came right on time as if that person was ready. The thin cotton fabric could not block out the warmthing from the mans palm. His warm breath burned her skin, but the pain in her body was strangely reduced. Good luck. Huo Xunzhou noticed that Lin Shanchu had recovered and let go of her after saying these two words in a low voice. From an outsiders point of view, Lin Shanchu had identally fallen. Huo Xunzhou merely helped her out of convenience. Only Lin Shanchu knew how much Huo Xunzhou had actually helped her. Huo Xunzhou flipped through the members documents and continued with the process. Lin Shanchu slowly walked up the stands. Neither of them looked at the other. Yun Wu looked at Huo Xunzhou thoughtfully before turning to Lin Shanchu. She felt that there was a verypatible atmosphere between the two of them.. Chapter 43 - 43: Because I love you Chapter 43: Because I love you Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The power of an invincible character was indeed extraordinary. All Huo Xunzhou did was steady Lin Shanchu, and yet the pain was already gone from her system. Since she was no longer in pain, she was in a good mood. An Youyun watched as Lin Shanchu walked up the stands. She tilted her head and smiled at her. Big sister, youre amazing! The sight of An Youyuns dimples made Lin Shanchus hands itch. She thought of how numbered her days were, so she decided to not hold her desires back anymore. She reached out and gently poked An Youyuns dimples before revealing a satisfied expression. Thank you, she said. An Youyuns eyes widened in shock as she looked at her in confusion. She was like a little kitten. Lin Shanchu patted her head affectionately. Good luck. Thanks. An Youyun nodded shyly. The next group to go on stage was Xia Jinmengs group. Xia Jinmeng was sitting in the row in front of An Youyun, and the camera happened to cut over and captured this scene. Thements kept appearing. [Did Lin Shanchu do what Ive always wanted to do?] [AnAn is actually blushing!] [Right now, I dont know who to envy more.] [Holy hell! Im seriously loving their interactions!] Xia Jinmengspany had organized a group of five for her, but the other members were obviously not as good as her. They were purely here to make her look good. The other members couldnt keep up with Xia Jinmengs rhythm. Not only did they sing over each other, but they were also not synchronized. The instructors frowned as they watched. How long have you been practicing together? Xu An asked once the performance ended. We formed a temporary group and practiced together for a week, Xia Jinmeng replied. Qin Shuya had already picked up the microphone by then, so she said with a serious expression, Many of the members have formed temporary groups. Everyone doesnt have much time to get used to each other. Teamwork is very important, so you must learn how to cooperate. Thements agreed with her. [Ms. Qin: Yeah. Thats right. Im talking about the Resentful Ghost group.] [Xia Jinmeng is actually very strong. Shes just being dragged down by her teammates.] [Time to y the me game.] Qin Shuya yed the good cop, so Xu An came out to y the bad cop. Xia Jinmeng, Ive seen your performance before. Youre pretty good, so Id like to give you a chance to score an additional test. Morements appeared. [Is this the amazing Xia Jinmeng that people have been boasting about?] [I thought she was really good and could get an A straight away.] [Xia Jinmeng, who is good at singing and dancing, is going to take an additional test just like Lin Shanchu, the bad singer and dancer?] [Dontpare Lin Shanchu to our Mengmeng. Shes not worthy!] [Shes indeed unworthy. Your Mengmeng will be self-abased.] Xia Jinmeng epted the opportunity to take the additional test. After all, she had been a trainee overseas for many years, which meant she was still skilled to a certain degree. After the additional test, she sessfully got an A. Her fans were spamming thements like crazy. [Mengmeng, youre the best! You deserve the A rank!] When Xia Jinmeng returned to her seat, she avoided the camera and red at Lin Shanchu coldly. Lin Shanchu supported her cheek with one hand while ncing at Xia Jinmeng. How had she offended Xia Jinmeng? Was there such a name in the original novel? Lin Shanchu thought for a long time but could not remember, so she summoned the useless system. Is there a character named Xia Jinmeng in the original novel? The system replied, [ Xia Jinmeng, Tang Qidai, and Qiao Jiaxi are good friends. She didnt have any interactions with you in the original novel.] Lin Shanchu replied, Is it because Im not following the plot, so the plot starts developing sentient thoughts and branching out on its own? The system said, [Thats probably right.] Lin Shanchu asked, What has Lu Shiyuan been doingtely? [Hes thinking of a way to be a sponsor for the show.] Lin Shanchu huffed, Hes getting crazier by the minute. To think that hes willing to pay his rivals just so he can get his hands on me [He does that because he loves you,] the system defended. Lin Shanchu snorted. Thats bullsh*t. The system scolded, [Female leads of sadistic novels cant curse.] Get lost! Lin Shanchu retorted. The system only replied with a sad emoji. The recording continued. Two A-rankers appeared soon after. One of them was An Youyun. It was already nighttime when the recording ended. Everyone was exhausted. They had to be assigned to new dormitories. Those with high ratings had priority in choosing their dormitories. This was also an unwritten rule of talent shows. There were double rooms, four-person rooms, six-person rooms, and twelve-person rooms. Naturally, the fewer people there were, the morefortable it would be. The rest of the A-rankers did not hesitate to choose two-person rooms for themselves. Yun Wu was the only one heading toward the twelve-person room. She took two steps while dragging her suitcase before turning back to grab Lin Shanchus suitcase. Then, she ran away quickly. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Thementers were confused as well. [Why did Boss Yun snatch Lin Shanchus suitcase from her?] [If Im understanding this correctly, she probably wants to stay in the same dorm as Lin Shanchu.] [Imughing so much right now. Boss Yun can be quite immature sometimes.] [Guys, I really love the idea of Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu being a couple.] [Why is it Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu instead of the other way round?] [Maybe thats because Lin Shanchu seems more dominant.] [Huh?] That night, the topic #Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu or the other way round hit the trending list. However, the people involved had no idea what was going on. Meanwhile, Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchus rtionship fans were unhappy. They immediately rushed to the topic page and tried to take over it. Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu are meant to be together! Look, theyre sopatible! [image] Attached was a picture of Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan looking at each other affectionately on the day the former joined the production crew. The rtionship fans of Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu refused to give in. They posted a video montage of Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu online. Whether it was the tacit understanding between the two of them during the Resentful Ghost performance or Yun Wu snatching Lin Shanchus suitcase, they were all more exciting and interesting than the picture of Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu looking at each other affectionately. Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchus rtionship fans turned their tune very easily. [The lunatic beauty and the cold-looking badass! I really love the idea of two powerful women being together!] [Ah! I really love this couple as well!] [Im on my way to converting to this faction! Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu look so good together!] Originally, the fans from the two different rtionships were the ones arguing with each other, but it turned out that one faction was starting to merge into the other. More and more people joined in, which boosted the topics poprity. Arge number of passersby were deeply attracted after seeing Lin Shanchu and Yun Wus edited video of Resentful Ghost. They searched for My Stage that night in order to watch the full version of Resentful Ghost. The production crew loved drama the most. Their editors pulled an all-nighter just to edit all the members performances. Among them, Resentful Ghost had the most views. However, Lin Shanchu had no idea that her performance went viral. It was because her phone had gotten confiscated. When Nan Mu looked at the real-time data that his assistant handed over, he pped his thigh so much out of tion that he could feel it going numb. Ive struck the jackpot! Nan Mu happily showed the data to Huo Xunzhou. Xunzhou, I think that if things continue to progress like this, once this show is over, I can earn enough money to buy a tank, let alone a ne! Huo Xunzhou nced at the data, clearly disinterested. He asked, Is Lu Shiyuan still intending to sponsor the show? Nan Mu felt likeughing when that matter was mentioned. Thats right. Do you think Lu Shiyuan got so mad at the contract that he became dumb? He actually wants to sponsor my show and give me free money! Huo Xunzhou thought for a moment before replying, Lets ask for Lin Shanchus opinion. Huh? Nan Mu was stunned for a moment before reacting to the statement. Are you talking about the matter of Lu Shiyuan intending to sponsor the production crew? Yeah, Huo Xunzhou replied.. Chapter 44 - 44: There Goes My Happiness Chapter 44: There Goes My Happiness Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchus biological clock was very urate. She woke up at seven in the morning. There was a camera in the dormitory. She carried a training suit meant for ss B members she had just received yesterday to the bathroom. After washing up, she saw Yun Wu getting out of the bed next to her blearily. Everyone was busy cleaning up till thete hours of the night, so most of them were still in bed. You woke up this early? Yun Wu whispered to Lin Shanchu in a low voice. Lin Shanchu smiled at her. Ill be waiting for you in the cafeteria. Yun Wu made an okay gesture. Lin Shanchu walked out of the dormitory quietly. The cameraman, who was yawning, immediately perked up. Are we filming this early in the morning? The cameraman nodded. Other than the fixed camera positions in the training room, the official livestream shooting was actually at nine o clock. However, Lin Shanchu was different. Her presence could help the show go viral. The production crew wanted nothing more than to install a camera on her so that they could stream her life all the time. Seeing that the cameraman began to follow her, Lin Shanchu began to chat awkwardly with him. Lin Shanchu asked, Have you had breakfast? Yeah. What did you eat? Steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, and soy milk. Lin Shanchus eyes lit up. In the cafeteria? She liked to eat steamed buns and soy milk, but the food in the production crews cafeteria was all healthy and had low carbs. It was probably to keep the members in shape. The canteen would never provide high -calorie food like steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks, which could easily make people fat. As the training was starting today, Lin Shanchu did not put on any makeup. She had some baby fat on her cheeks. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her cat-like eyes were bright and lively. She looked rather young without makeup, but at this moment, her eyes were filled with joy. Her every move was intoxicatingly beautiful. The cameraman couldnt bear to shatter Lin Shanchus fantasv, but he still told her the truth. I had breakfast outside. The smile on Lin Shanchus face gradually disappeared Oh. The audience members that had woken up early had already entered the live broadcast room by then. They just happened to watch the entire conversation between Lin Shanchu and the cameraman. [Lin Shanchu: Well, there goes my happiness!] [She actually likes to eat steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks. Shes so down-to-earth.] [Hahaha! That moment when her fake smile starts to disappear!] [Im a little curious about their breakfast.] The breakfast in the cafeteria was still low-calorie and healthy. The main course was sugar-free whole grain bread, eggs, and milk. The fruits were dragon fruits and blueberries. After Lin Shanchu finished her breakfast, the rest of the members also got up one after another. The cameraman no longer followed her alone. When she came out of the cafeteria, a staff member came to look for Lin Shanchu. Someone is looking for you. Lin Shanchu followed him and saw Nan Mu in a ce where the camera could not see. She followed Nan Mu to the office. Theres something I need your opinion on, Nan Mu said directly. Go ahead. Lin Shanchu sat down at the side. Lu Shiyuan wants to sponsor the production crew. What do you think? Nan Mu asked. So it was this matter. How much is he offering to sponsor? Lin Shanchu asked. Nan Mu didnt expect her to not be surprised at all. We havent discussed it yet. Then lets have a talk. The corners of Lin Shanchus eyes rose slightly as she shed a harmless smile. I think 100 -million-dor sponsorship is more befitting of his status. Nan Mu looked shocked. No wonder Huo Xunzhou told him to ask for Lin Shanchus opinion. Lin Shanchu asked for a hundred million dors right from the start. She was truly a ruthless person! Lin Shanchu looked at the time. Its almost nine oclock. I have to go back. Hold on. Nan Mu stopped her and took out a contract. Ive asked someone to draw up the contract. Take a look. Lets find a time to call Chu Gushen and have this contract Hmm? Lin Shanchu directly took a pen from the desk, flipped open the contract, and signed her name on it. Nan Mu was stunned. You didnt even read the contract. Arent you afraid that I might trick you? You wont do that. Nan Mu was Huo Xunzhous manager, so she trusted his judgment. Nan Mu was touched by Lin Shanchus confident tone. Dont worry, Ill make you even more famous than Xunzhou! He promised while patting his chest. All right. Lin Shanchu smiled. After signing and stamping the contract, Lin Shanchu returned to the B-rankers training room. She had just walked to the door of the training room when she heard someone mention her name. Why hasnt Lin Shanchue yet? She wont bete for the first day of training, will she? Lin Shanchu squinted her eyes and looked at the name tag of the girl who spoke. It was Wen Tongtong. She vaguely remembered that girl. When Xia Jinmeng got off the stage yesterday, Wen Tongtong went to hug her. She was Xia Jinmengs friend. Having heard her words, everyone else looked around for Lin Shanchu. Its still early, someone said. There are still 20 minutes before nine. Wen Tongtong stated meaningfully, Everyone is already here save for her. Maybe shes not used to living in a group. Girls were meticulous in nature. They could immediately tell that Wen Tongtong was hinting at Lin Shanchu beingzy and that she wasnt even enthusiastic about training. Although the production crew announced that the official livestream would start at nine oclock, the cameras in the training room were always on. Hence, the livestream had already started. Wen Tongtongs words were meant for the audience. The atmosphere in the training room also became tense because of Wen Tongtongs strange words. Thements backed Lin Shanchu up. [Whos this Wen weirdo? She loves starting drama, doesnt she?] [Although Im not a fan of Lin Shanchu, Im on her side this time.] [Lin Shanchu has already woken up a long time ago!] Lin Shanchu walked in at this moment. The stiff atmosphere eased slightly after she appeared. She didnt know anyone in ss B, so she went straight to the corner and sat cross-legged on the ground like the other members. Thements started praising her. [Im so jealous. How can someone sit cross-legged on the ground like this and still look so ethereal?] [Wow, her bare-faced look is the best!] [Yup, its confirmed. Those who call Lin Shanchu ugly are either blind or purely hating on her!] The girl sitting next to Lin Shanchu had been staring at her ever since she sat down. Lin Shanchu touched her face. Is there something on my face? You dont have any makeup on? The girl shook her head. Yeah. Lin Shanchu would sweat during training anyway, so she might as well not put on any makeup. Lin Shanchu nced at the girls name tag. It said Ran Zhimo. Ran Zhimo stared at Lin Shanchus face carefully. How could someones bare face look as good as they had already put on makeup? Her skin was really wless! Can I touch your face? Although Ran Zhimo asked the question politely, she had already reached out her hand, itching to touch Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu leaned over generously. Sure thing. Ran Zhimo reached out and touched Lin Shanchu. Her face was as smooth as a boiled egg that had just been peeled. She couldnt help but touch Lin Shanchus face again and again. Thetter was speechless. Thementers were having a field day because of that interaction. [To be honest, I also want to touch Lin Shanchus face.] [Oh my god, Lin Shanchu leaned over straight away! Shes so obedient!] [Shes addicted to touching Lin Shanchus face! Hahaha!] Chapter 45 - 45: Disadvantageous Due to Not Having Any Friends In the Past Chapter 45: Disadvantageous Due to Not Having Any Friends In the Past Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The other girls moved away from Lin Shanchu subconsciously the moment she sat down next to them. This was because Lin Shanchu was too beautiful. They were asking to be humiliated if they were to appear in the same shot as her. However, when they saw Ran Zhimo touching Lin Shanchus face, they could not help but approach her. Having learned from Ran Zhimos example, the girls asked Lin Shanchu politely, Can I touch your face too? After the first girl spoke up, the other girls also gathered around Lin Shanchu. Id like to touch your face too. Me too. Her parents had passed away early, so Lin Shanchu was a little introverted when she was young. Because of her outstanding looks and Tang Qidais intentional maniption, Lin Shanchu had been ostracized by the girls around her since she was young. She had lived in Tang Qidais shadow for her entire childhood and adolescence, so she had never made any friends, let alone surrounded by a group of girls in such a friendly manner. There were so many beautiful and cute girls making such adorable requests to her. How could she resist? Lin Shanchu decided to raise her head and close her eyes. Come on! The girls surrounded her. At first, they were all praising her happily. Your skin is amazing. How do you maintain your skin? You really dont have any makeup on! Is this what they call a true natural beauty? After that, the girls started to take advantage of Lin Shanchu and started to feel her up and down. They touched her neck, hands, and even her waist. Your fingers are so slender and beautiful. Wow, Lin Shanchus waist is so thin! You have really long arms! You must have practiced dancing when you were young! Lin Shanchu was speechless. Thementers went wild. [Hahaha! Those girls are total perverts! Imughing so hard that my stomach hurts!] [Its all over. Lin Shanchu has fallen into the subis trap and got molested!] [Stop! Thats my wife!] [Lin Shanchu: Save me!] [Lin Shanchu looks like shes panicking so hard right now! Hahahaha!] Lin Shanchu was really panicking now. She was at a huge disadvantage due to not having any friends in the past. She had no idea that girls nowadays were very aggressive. Ran Zhimo noticed Lin Shanchus red face and quickly spoke up in order to save her. You guys, stop touching her! Lin Shanchu shot her a grateful look. However, Ran Zhimo added, You can continue touching her after training is done. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Clearly, she trusted the wrong person. The girls stopped, but they still surrounded Lin Shanchu. After this, the distance between them was inexplicably shortened. There were even girls who thoughtfully tidied up Lin Shanchus messy hair and clothes as they chatted with her while surrounding her. I used to think that you were so beautiful and noble when I saw your pictures online. I didnt even dare to talk to you when I first saw you. Lin Shanchu replied, Not only are you talking to me now, but you even touched me. Im so envious of your natural beauty. You look exactly like the female lead of a novel. Lin Shanchu joked, But female leads arent as useless as me. The girlsughed. Theizens mirthfulughter drifted across the screen in the form ofments too. [I suddenly realized that Lin Shanchu has the potential to be aedian.] [The female lead of a novel isnt as useless as me, she said! Haha!] [That beauty knows herself too well!] [Hahaha! Shes beautiful and funny! I love her so much!] When Wen Tongtong spotted a group of girls surrounding Lin Shanchu and chatting with her enthusiastically, she felt very disdainful. All Lin Shanchu had was a rich fianc, which was why so many girls were rushing to curry favor with her. Lin Shanchu herself was just a useless human decoration. The clock on the wall was about to hit nine oclock. Wen Tongtong nced at the door and called out loudly, The instructor is here! The girls turned around and sat down, only to find that the instructor had yet to arrive. They shot dissatisfied looks in Wen Tongtongs direction. I heard some sounds, Wen Tongtong defended loudly. The next moment, the instructor walked in from the door. Qin Shuya walked in with a smile on her face. Good morning, everyone. Good Morning, Ms. Qin! the members shouted in unison. Everyone seems to be in good shape, Qin Shuyamented. Ill issue the task concerning our main theme. Then, the theme song was yed, while the dance was demonstrated. The lyrics were simple and clear, whereas the dance was youthful and hot-blooded. One would be intoxicated after watching it once. The members watched as they tried to follow. As they danced, they realized that the theme song wasnt that simple. Qin Shuya began to announce the rules. The theme song assessment is divided into one-day, two-day, and three-day sses. Members can choose which ss they want based on their abilities. There was amotion in the training room. Lin Shanchu, how many days of sses do you want to choose? Ran Zhimo asked Lin Shanchu. Three days, Lin Shanchu replied without hesitation. She had really bad health, after all. Her life mattered the most. She couldnt die before Lu Shiyuan breathed hisst. Everyone, you can make your choice after following my dance movements. Qin Shuya yed the theme song again. After the first round, most of the members were panting from exhaustion. Lin Shanchu was surprised to find that she was not as tired as she had imagined. The useless system should do its job during moments like this. Lin Shanchu said, Hey, idiot! Did my body recover a little? The system used three seconds of silence to express its dissatisfaction at being called an idiot. After that, it started talking. [Youre the female lead, after all. So, you still have some sort of aura around you.] Lin Shanchu sneered coldly. The system was scared when it heard herughter. It exined, [Maybe its because you changed the plot. Although youre the female lead of a sadist novel, now that the plot has changed, youre no longer being tortured, so youre gradually gaining some aura as the female lead.] Ran Zhimo noticed that Lin Shanchu did not seem to be panting after the dance, which surprised her. Do you want to choose the one-day ss with Lin Shanchu came back to her senses and shook her head. No, I dont have a solid foundation. The three-day ss suits me more. Compared to making her debut as a member of the girl group, she much preferred acting. She could gain some poprity in this show, then stay until the night when the girl group was formed. After the show ended, she could take on more roles. Thements: [Lin Shanchu is really a surprise. She can actually perform the entire dance without any mistakes.] [Does anyone here really think that Lin Shanchu is useless? She was admitted to the Xu City Drama Academy with the best results in the country. She also scored 690 points in her exams, making her the valedictorian of Xu City.] [Outstanding people learn everything quickly, just as expected.] [As Lin Shanchus hater, I suddenly dont know how to criticize her] When it was almost noon, Yun Wu ran to ss B to find Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu! Its time for lunch! Lin Shanchu was practicing with Ran Zhimo, so she didnt notice Yun Wu immediately. Yun Wu stood by the side and watched the training instead of disturbing Lin Shanchu. Thements were spammed on the screen. [I followed Boss Yun, the foodie, all the way from ss As training room.] [Hahaha! This scene is akin to the wife catching her husband cheating on her!] [Lin Shanchu: I didnt want to cheat on you, but Ran Zhimo started it by touching me first.] [This is like the drama The Temptations of Going Home: Lin Shanchu edition] [Did I just watch a family drama in thement section?] [Holy f*ck, Im going to dieughing my ass off because of thesements sooner orter! Hahaha!] Chapter 46 - 46: Isn’t It Already Awesome? Chapter 46: Isnt It Already Awesome? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ran Zhimo was the one who noticed Yun Wu first. Yun Wu is here to find you. She touched Lin Shanchus arm. Lin Shanchu looked at the time on the wall. It was almost time for lunch. Lets go and eat, said Yun Wu as she walked over. Ran Zhimo followed the two of them out of the room instinctively. Ill go too! Most of the members were still practicing their dance. There were only a dozen or so people in the cafeteria. Dance practice was very physically exhausting, and everyone was hungry after practicing for the entire morning. Each of them ate a lot. Other than Lin Shanchu, everyone elses tes were piled up like a small mountain. Will these be enough for you? Ran Zhimo asked Lin Shanchu. She has a small appetite, so she can only eat this much. Lin Shanchu, help me carry the mangoes. Yun Wu was carrying a pile of small mangoes. After Yun Wu finished her meal, she ate five mangoes in one go. Although Lin Shanchu had already seen Yun Wus appetite for herself, she still couldnt help but be amazed. Her appetite was too amazing. She was a little envious. Sensing Lin Shanchus gaze, Yun Wu picked up thest mango and asked her, Do you want to have it? Im allergic to mangoes, Lin Shanchu replied. Yun Wu then ate thest mango in peace. After all, mangoes werent served in the cafeteria every day. Thements said, [She really is deserving of the title Glutton.] [Lin Shanchu is so pretentious. Can she really eat her fill with such a small amount of food?] [Its not healthy to eat so little to maintain your figure.] [Thats enough, haters. Some people are just born with small appetites.] After the meal, the girls rested in their seats. The other members also arrived in session. When the members from ss B saw Ran Zhimo and Lin Shanchu, they also came over to sit with them. Have you guys finished eating? Yeah. Lin Shanchu supported her cheek with one hand. The members looked at Yun Wu, who was sitting next to Lin Shanchu. She did not look like someone to be trifled with. But on second thought, Lin Shanchu was easy to get along with. So, Yun Wu, who was on good terms with her, should not be difficult to get along with Thus, someone gathered up her courage and asked Yun Wu, Boss Yun, did you choose the one-day ss? Yeah. Yun Wu nodded. Who the hell is Boss Yun, by the way? The girl exined, It means we all think youre very strong Oh Yun Wu blinked in embarrassment. Ran Zhimo had also chosen the one-day ss, so she asked Yun Wu, Can we practice togetherter? Yun Wu turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu just smiled slightly and gave her a look that said up to you. Sure, said Yun wu. Thementers went wild. [Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu are killing me!] [Boss Yun is so cute. Shes embarrassed when shes being praised. Hahaha!] [Was she asking for Lin Shanchus opinion just now?] [It should be. I feel like the two of them have a great understanding.] [Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu should just form a love line together!] Just as the atmosphere at Lin Shanchus table became harmonious, Xia Jinmeng, Wen Tongtong, and the others walked over. From afar, Xia Jinmeng saw Lin Shanchu and the girls talking andughing. In just one morning, Lin Shanchus rtionship with them had be so good. Is Lin Shanchu very popr in ss B? Xia Jinmeng asked Wen Tongtong softly. Those people just want to curry favor with her because she has a rich fianc. Who would like someone like her? Wen Tongtong replied scornfully. When they passed by Lin Shanchus table, Wen Tongtongmented in a weird tone, You guys are here for lunch so early? Thementers were annoyed. [Why did this girl appear again?] [Shes so annoying. I hope she can leave as soon as possible after this round.] [She brings bad luck!] [I really dont know why you guys are so malicious to a girl. Wen Tongtong didnt do anything bad.] [Lin Shanchu didnt do anything bad either, did she?] The other members of ss B had all just arrived at the cafeteria. Only Lin Shanchu and the other two came earlier. Everyone knew how strong Yun Wu was, whereas Ran Zhimo was quite skilled too. Compared to them, Lin Shanchu was the weakest. Wen Tongtong was hinting that Lin Shanchu did not train hard and only knew how to ck off. The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became tense. Wen Tongtong used to be a trainee overseas with Xia Jinmeng. Inparison, she was more qualified. The other members couldnt say anything. Lin Shanchu lifted her eyelids slightly and nced at Wen Tongtong. The best time for lunch is between half past eleven and one oclock. Its already one oclock now. Is it still early? she asked. Her tone wasnt much different from usual, but her displeasure could be clearly heard in her emphasized tone. Wen Tongtong didnt expect Lin Shanchu to talk back to her. She had noticed that Lin Shanchu was kind toward the other members of ss B, so she thought that Lin Shanchu would not say anything to show her magnanimity. Wen Tongtong felt a little embarrassed. However, when she thought about the cameras in the cafeteria and how Lin Shanchu would definitely be scolded by the audience, she felt a little better. Wen Tongtong pretended to be surprised as she replied, Is it already one oclock? I was so busy with training that I didnt look at the time. Plus, I didnt feel hungry at all. Lin Shanchuszy expression remained. You might have gastric problems if you dont feel hungry. Wen Tongtong was speechless. Thementers wereughing. [Aaaaah! The way Lin Shanchu mocks other people in her gentle voice makes her look like a lunatic beauty!] [Gastric problems! Hahaha!] [Theres indeed something wrong with the Wen girl, but its definitely not gastric!] [Well done!] [Wen Tongtong, dont you know that youre the drama queen here?] [Does that Wen girl think that were all idiots? If she really is as hardworking as she ims to be, then she shouldnt have said all those magnanimous bullsh*t! Actions speak louder than words, you know!] Although Xia Jinmeng didnt like Lin Shanchu, she also felt that Wen Tongtongs behavior was a little embarrassing. She turned around and left. Wen Tongtong quickly followed. Lin Shanchu turned around and found that everyone at the table was staring at her. Whats wrong? Lin Shanchu was confused. There was a camera recording the live broadcast, so everyone was more cautious and smiled without saying anything. Youre right. Yun Wu smiled mischievously. People with good grades are smart. They can insult people without using any vulgarities. Hearing this, the others all looked at Yun Wu. Yun Wu shrugged and continued, Dont you know that Lin Shanchu was a valedictorian of Xu City? Oh, and she was also the top student in the country who got into the Xu City Drama Academy. The members were all shocked. Holy f*ck! So awesome! Theres a camera recording everything. Watch yournguage. Oh my god, shes so beautiful and outstanding! How are we supposed to live? I came to this world just to be part of the background characters Thements: [What the f*ck? Is Lin Shanchu that awesome?] [Shes a top student!] [But she never showed off her credentials and made them part of her personality. I really like her because of this.] [I used to be a neutralizen, but now Impletely her fan.] [Dont think so highly of Lin Shanchu. She must have colluded with Yun Wu in advance and deliberately let her say that in front of everyone to show off.] Thisment offended both Yun Wu and Lin Shanchus fans at the same time: [Yeah, yeah, keep running your mouth, hater.] [Does she still need to show off when she already scored 690 points in her high school exams? Isnt it already awesome?] Chapter 47 - 47: Toy Around With Him to Death Chapter 47: Toy Around With Him to Death Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu had been a regr on the hot search list these days. Fans and viewers from all walks of life were still not satisfied with their fight in thement section of My Stage, so they shifted their battleground to Weibo. Very quickly, the topic #Lin Shanchu scored 690 points became a hot search again. Lin Shanchu already had a lot of anti-fans. As soon as the haters saw the hot search, they flooded the topics page just to ridicule her. [That ugly Lin Shanchu dares to brag about everything!] [Does she think she doesnt have enough haters? Is she trying to make her scores part of her personality? How hrious!] [Ignorance is terrible. Are 690 points so easy to score? If you want to act cool, you need to have somemon sense first.] [No one would really believe it, right?] Before Lin Shanchu participated in My Stage, she didnt have many fans. Most of them were haters, so when she was scolded online, almost no one spoke up for her. Over the years, it seemed politically correct to nder her. However, things were different now. Before, there were Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchus rtionship fans. After that, there were Lin Shanchu and Yun Wus rtionship fans. Her Resentful Ghost performance during the initial stage assessment was the one that helped her attract the most fans. The fans of the three parties collectively went off against the haters. [Yeah, my idol is so ugly! I dream to be as ugly as her!] [Lin Shanchu really is unpopr. Shes so unpopr that shes merely the female celebrity who got searched up the most on the inte in real-time.] [Ignorance is indeed scary. Its already the year 2202. If you even bother to search the records, youll know that the valedictorian in Xu city was called Lin Shanchu.] While the fans of both sides were in full swing, Tianzhou Medias official Weibo directly posted Lin Shanchus results from that year. Tianzhou Medias Official Weibo: [Its the high school examination season again. Were sharing the results of an artist whos part of our family. We wish all candidates to achieve great results and be top schrs!] There were two pictures attached to the post. One of them was Lin Shanchus high school exam results from that year. The other was an interview video of Xu Citys valedictorian that year. The haters were pped in the face by the evidence, but they still pressed on stubbornly. [Theres no need to show off like this even if you scored 690 points. Arent you just trying to make the results part of your personality? Lin Shanchu isnt the only one in the entertainment industry who has good high school exam results.] There were many currently popr artists in Tianzhou Media, so they had always received a lot of attention. As soon as this Weibo post was posted, whether it was Lin Shanchus new fans or passers-by from all over the world, they all came to join in the fun: [ Lin Shanchu has signed a contract with Tianzhou Media? ] [Damn, Lin Shanchu is pretty and is good at performing. Shes also a top student!] [ I just want to know what did Lin Shanchu do in her past life to have such a ster record in her current life.] [Is she really not the female lead of a novel? ] [She finally found an organization. My idol is backed up by apany from now on. Sob] [Even her old picture from five years ago looks so good. Natural beauties really are different. Shes so good-looking.] [I dont understand. Isnt Lin Shanchu Lu Shiyuans fianc? Why didnt she sign a contract with the Lu Corporation?] Tianzhou Media. Nan Mu and Lu Shiyuan were sitting opposite each other. There was a conference table in the middle with a contract on it. Nan Muzily leaned back in his chair and said in a casual tone, The sponsorship amount is 100 million dors. The deal is off even if you pay a penny less. After he finished speaking, he didnt even look at Lu Shiyuan. He took out his phone and continued to browse thements under Lin Shanchus high school exam report card. 90% of thements under this Weibo post were positive. He had not misjudged her. Lin Shanchu was really popr. She was born to make a living in the entertainment industry. Nan Mu did not know what that Lu idiot was thinking. He ignored Lin Shanchu, who had unlimited potential, and supported a woman who had no ability or looks. Nan Mu sighed mentally. This was probably his fate. He was destined to discover precious gems one after another. Huo Xunzhou was first, and Lin Shanchu was second. Lu Shiyuan, who was sitting opposite Nan Mu, was wearing a well-ironed suit. His brows were furrowed into a knot, and his entire body was filled with suppressed anger. A hundred million? Nan Mu, youre quite arrogant! In Xu City, no one had ever dared to treat him so lightly and humiliate him like this. He had lowered himself to sponsor Nan Mus show, but thetter had demanded an exorbitant price from him without any sincerity. Nan Mu put his phone to the side while looking conflicted. President Lu, you have no idea that countless sponsors have been calling me non-stop these two days, he said. Its all because Lin Shanchus performance has be popr. The sponsors want to invest in my show, but when I heard that you wanted to sponsor the show, I didnt agree to any of their offers. Its my honor that you want to sponsor my show. Of course, other people have to make way for you, right? They were all cunning businessmen who went through a lot in the business world. Lu Shiyuan could naturally hear the enigma in Nan Mus words. Its not like I have to invest in your show, he said with a cold smile. I know. Nan Mu deliberately dragged out his words and said slowly, Youre here for Lin Shanchu. To be honest, he didnt understand Lu Shiyuans thoughts. If Lu Shiyuan cared about Lin Shanchu, he wouldnt have spent his days hanging around that Tang celebrity. But if Lu Shiyuan didnt care about Lin Shanchu, he wouldnt have lowered his head ande all the way to deal with Nan Mu just to see her. Lu Shiyuans suppressed angerpletely erupted because of what Nan Mu said. Shut up! His hands that were hanging by his sides clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. At this moment, the assistants voice sounded from outside the door. Boss, a sponsor decided to pay us a visit. Hes already been invited to the reception room. Nan Mu shot Lu Shiyuan a provocative smile. Then, he got up and walked out. It was obvious that he was going to meet the other sponsor. He had just walked to the door when Lu Shiyuans voice came from behind him. Stop! Nan Mu wasnt stupid. He knew what Lu Shiyuan meant by stopping him. With his back still facing Lu Shiyuan, he widened his eyes out of shock. When Lin Shanchu asked him to open a bid of a hundred million, he thought that Lin Shanchu wanted him to deliberately toy around with Lu Shiyuan. He didnt expect Lu Shiyuan to actually be willing to pay a hundred million dors. This woman, Lin Shanchu, was really amazing! She looked like a cat, beautiful and weak without any aggression. Yet, she could control a scumbag like Lu Shiyuan. President Lu. Nan Mu controlled his expression and returned to his seat. Lu Shiyuan didnt even look at him. He directly flipped open the contract and stated his request. You have to invite me to the recording studio for every episode. Nan Mu was very confused and shocked. All right, he said. He just wanted to be able to see Lin Shanchu at a close distance. If Lin Shanchu could make Lu Shiyuan jump into a hole that she dug from a distance, then wouldnt Lin Shanchu be toying around with him to death if they were to face each other? Nan Mu didnt have any objections to Lu Shiyuans conditions. He even started to look forward to it. After signing the contract, Lu Shiyuan left Tianzhou Media with a dark expression. Just as he got into the car, he received a call from Tang Qidai. Brother Shiyuan, did you know that Shanshan has signed a contract with Tianzhou Media? What did you say? Lu Shiyuan sat up straight.. Chapter 48 - 48: As Expected of Rich Young Ladies, Tsk Chapter 48: As Expected of Rich Young Ladies, Tsk Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Tang Qidai told Lu Shiyuan about Tianzhou Medias Weibo post. Lu Shiyuan had received a call from Nan Mu early in the morning, saying that he wanted to ept his sponsorship and that they would discuss the details in person. He then brought some people to Tianzhou Media and went to the meeting room with Nan Mu to discuss the contract alone. As a result, he didnt know about Lin Shanchus contract with Tianzhou Media right away. Tang Qidai could tell from Lu Shiyuans tone that he didnt know about this. Lin Shanchu always did things that made Lu Shiyuan angry. She was secretly happy, but her tone did not show it at all. Do you not know about it? The answer she got was the dial tone of the call getting disconnected. Tang Qidai was a little unhappy. In the past, Lu Shiyuan would never hang up on her abruptly. However, when she thought about how Lu Shiyuan would hate Lin Shanchu even more after this incident, all the unhappiness in Tang Qidais heart was swept away. After Lu Shiyuan hung up the call with Tang Qidai, he immediately opened Weibo. When he clicked on the trending list, he saw the topic #Lin Shanchu signed a contract with Tianzhou Media hanging high in the top row of the trending list. Unable to restrain his anger, he threw the phone at Zhou Yans face. Whats going on? When Zhou Yan was waiting for Lu Shiyuan at Tianzhou Media, he received a call from a client at thest minute and chatted for a long time. Hence, he had only just found out about this news. He knew that in front of Lu Shiyuan, all excuses were just sophistry and would only make him angrier. Therefore, he did not try to defend himself. Im sorry, President Lu. This is an oversight on my part. Lu Shiyuans tone was unusually cold. If something like this happens again, you can pack your things and get lost! Zhou Yan froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered. Yes, sir. President Nan of Tianzhou Media just posted on Weibo. Zhou Yan handed the phone with the Weibo page disyed on it to Lu Shiyuan. Thetter had the strict and calm look of a businessman as if nothing had happened just now. Nan Mu: [Ive been in this industry for so many years and Im finally honored to work with you, President Lu! @Lu Shiyuan] The attached picture was a picture of the title page of the contract with the Lu Corporations official seal. It did not capture any content of the contract. Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchus fans happily clicked on this Weibo post. [The Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu couple are showing off their sweet moments again!] [Its so sweet. Hes sponsoring his fiances program. Hes really overbearing and pampering! ] [I clicked in with a face full of anticipation and left with a big smile on my face.] [Hehe Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu are acting all lovey-dovey again Hehe Today is also a very happy day Hehe] The other passers-by had a different point of focus than the rtionship fans. [I dont understand why Lin Shanchu didnt sign with Lu Shiyuanspany. Is it to avoid suspicion?] [If Lu Shiyuan is really such a person who avoids suspicion, then whats going on between him and a certain actress with the surname Tang?] [Hes letting his fiance sign with anotherpany and invest his own money into thatpany. Why do I feel like Lu Shiyuan has lost both his fiance and his money?] [Although I cant say whats wrong, I just feel that somethings wrong.] [I came in with a dumbfounded look and left with the same look.] Public opinion gradually developed in the direction of questioning Lu Shiyuan. Zhou Yan asked Lu Shiyuan for his opinion. President Lu, do you want to let the marketing ounts guide the public opinion? Lu Shiyuans expression was frighteningly cold. He had been having a hard time recently. And all of this was rted to Lin Shanchu. The woman who had once said that she wanted to be with him forever changed her mind without his permission. She even teamed up with others to dig a hole for him to jump into! No need, Lu Shiyuan almost squeezed out these two words from the gaps between his teeth. He had to get Lin Shanchu back. He wanted her to regret treating him like this! In ss Bs training room. Previously, Yun Wu had promised Ran Zhimo that she would practice dancing with her, so she stayed in the training room of ss B. The instructor was not there all day. She had left in the morning and would onlye back for the assessment tomorrow. Hence, the members were the only ones training in the training room. Yun Wu was a real master of dancing. After practicing for an entire morning, she had already mastered the dance for the theme song. Rather than saying that she was here to practice in ss B, it would be better to say that she was here to help out. After she came in, she was basically teaching the other members how to dance and helping them with the movements. Lin Shanchu found that whenever Yun Wu taught the members, she showcased patience that didnt fit her age. Also, she was particrly happy whenever she was teaching. She guessed that Yun Wu might have been a dance teacher before. After practicing a few times, she went to the side to learn how to sing. Anyway, she would only take the test in three days. There was no rush. Thements were posted soon. [Yun Wu is so patient when shes teaching the other girls. She looks so differentpared to her usual self.] [Agreed. Yun Wu is very surprising.] [Shes a skilled and helpful girl. I really like her.] [Why isnt Lin Shanchu practicing the dance?] [Shes probably learning the song.] [Heh! Everyone else is practicing their dance while shes practicing her singing by herself. She must be cking off.] [Imughing so hard right now. You guys are praising Lin Shanchu so much, but shes cking off there. Do your faces sting from the p?] As soon as it was mealtime. Yun Wu dragged Lin Shanchu awav for dinner. When they arrived at the cafeteria, they realized that there were even fewer people there than at noon. Yun Wu exined to Lin Shanchu, I heard that most of the people signed up for one-day or two-day sses. They all want to perform well during the theme song assessment and get more screen time for the audience to remember them. That was why everyone was so focused on practicing their dance that they didnte to eat. Lin Shanchu was very ashamed. Theyre really hardworking. Then, she added a piece of boiled chicken chop to her te. After getting used to it, she felt that chicken chop was quite delicious. It was dinner time. The audience was eating while watching the show. [The girls really are too hardworking!] [Thats right. They are even willing to skip meals. They really are savage.] [Thats why theyre in the show while were outside.] [Lin Shanchus foundation isnt good either. Doesnt she know how to work hard and practice?] [I feel that what Wen Tongtong said at noon was right. Lin Shanchu really cant face hardship.] [As expected of rich youngdies. Tsk.] [She should be going to dance practice after dinner.] Lin Shanchu did go to the training room to practice dancing after dinner. However, she left after practicing it once. The director saw that Lin Shanchu had not returned and asked the staff to look for her. In the end, the staff found Lin Shanchu in the dormitory. She had grabbed her clothes and was about to take a shower. I found Lin Shanchu in the dormitory, the staff said. The cameraman rushed over at the speed of light. Lin Shanchu thought that the staff was looking for her because of urgent matters. What is it? Are you going to take a shower? Yeah, Lin Shanchu replied. Its only eight oclock. Why are you taking a shower at this time? Lin Shanchu felt that the staff was a little confusing. Im going to take a shower, then sleep. But its only eight oclock, the staff repeated. Lin Shanchu nodded. Yes. After the shower, I can wash my clothes and do my skin care. By then, itll be almost ten oclock, which is bedtime.. Chapter 49 - 49: Lin Shanchu, the Worst Member Ever Chapter 49: Lin Shanchu, the Worst Member Ever Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The cameraman broke out in a cold sweat on Lin Shanchus behalf. This was a live broadcast. Everyone else was practicing, but she hade back early to sleep. Was she really not afraid of being criticized? Are you not feeling well? Is that why you want to rest early? the cameraman reminded her kindly. Of course, she couldnt casually tell others that she had cancer. Lin Shanchu shook her head. Im used to sleeping and waking up early. The staff member was speechless. The cameraman was speechless. Thementers were also speechless. [She really is Lin Shanchu, the worst member ever.] [Lin Shanchu did wake up quite early this morning. She has a good sleeping schedule and is very mindful of her health.] [ hes a tough guy to be able to sleep and wake up early. ] [Everyone else is practicing, but shes the only one sleeping. Shes toozy.] [It wasnt easy for me to have a good impression of her, but now its all gone.] [What do you guys know? Her fianc is the sponsor of the show. She has all the money she can afford. She doesnt need to work hard unlike the other girls.] [If she doesnt want to work hard, she should just let Lu Shiyuan spend money to get resources for her. Why did shee to participate in a talent show and steal the screen time of the other girls?] The number ofments on the screen suddenly increased, with half supporting Lin Shanchu and the other half scolding Lin Shanchu. The director looked at the rapidly increasing number ofments and asked the staff and cameraman toe back with mixed feelings. Although Lin Shanchus behavior could easily attract haters She still attracted people to discuss the show at the same time. Being the center of attention was the essence of a talent show. Lin Shanchu slept until dawn. She woke up before seven. She didnt have the habit ofzing in bed. So, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Thements started filling the screen. [Wow, Lin Shanchu is up so early.] [Is this still early? [ Xia Jinmeng from ss A got up at five oclock to practice. ] [There are still a lot of people who practiced all night. ] [Oho Thezy girl is finally up.] [Lin Shanchu is too useless. Im very disappointed in her, so Im no longer her fan now.] Lin Shanchu came out of the bathroom and found that many beds in the dormitory were empty. Even Yun Wus bed was empty. Lin Shanchu left the dormitory and went straight to the training room. There were people practicing their dance in the training room. There were also some who were sleeping on the floor. Ran Zhimo was one of them. When Yun Wu saw Lin Shanchu, she walked over and went to the cafeteria with her. When they were picking their breakfast, Yun Wu chatted with her. You went to bed so earlyst night. Arent you afraid of being scolded? Lin Shanchu replied, Im just going to sleep. Its not like Immitting murder or arson. Why should I be afraid of being scolded? Yun Wu was speechless. Thements were divided. [I feel that Lin Shanchu is right. ] [But everyones working hard except her. She deserves to be scolded!] [Must a few PPI die from exhaustion to prove that they are hardworking?] [Stop arguing so early in the morning] Lin Shanchu recalled the number of people in the training room. She turned back to ask for arge stic bag from thedy selling the food. What do you need the stic bag for? Im bringing some food for the other members, Lin Shanchu said. Today, they had to record the assessment for the one-day ss, so Lin Shanchu put on makeup. She was born with a pure and harmless face. When when she smiled, it made ones heart soften, making them want to give all the good things to her. Thedy believed her without a doubt. All right, she said. Yun Wu was worried that Lin Shanchus thin and weak body could not carry so many things, so she said, Maam, please give me a bag too. Due to Yun Wus shocking appetite, all the servingdies in the cafeteria remembered her. The servingdy looked at her suspiciously. Lin Shanchu can carry the bag on her own. Yunwu was confused. Did she look like a liar? Lin Shanchuughed andforted her. I can handle the food on my own. Thements wereughing at Yun Wu. [Its not the servingdys fault. Its Boss Yuns fault for eating too much. Hahaha!] [ after beingforted by Lin Shanchu, Yun Wu looks even more emo. ] [To be honest, just now, I was imagining a scene where the lunatic beauty and the cool badass turned against each other.] [Inparison, Lin Shanchu does look more trustworthy! Hahaha!] Lin Shanchu brought a big bag of food back to the training room. Ran Zhimo, who had been sleeping on the ground, woke up at the same time. When she saw the big bag of food that Lin Shanchu was carrying, her eyes widened. Did you bring us breakfast? Yup. After receiving Lin Shanchus response, Ran Zhimo crawled toward Lin Shanchu without caring about her image. Lin Shanchu, youre officially my older sister from now on! Ran Zhimo practiced her dance untilte at night. She was so tired that she fell asleep on the ground, so she was very exhausted and hungry. Lin Shanchu saw this and quickly ran over to her. She took out bread and milk from the stic bag and handed them to her. Ran Zhimo demonstrated the perfect way to wolf down the food in front of others. Yun Wu called the other members over to have breakfast together. A few members had nned to skip breakfast to save time and practice one more time. However, Lin Shanchu had brought breakfast for them, so they could eat breakfast directly and save time. They were very grateful to Lin Shanchu. Thements were quickly spammed. [Ran Zhimo looks so pitiful yet funny.] [Thank you, Lin Shanchu, for bringing breakfast. Sincerely, Ran Zhimos fans.] [Actually, this is the most favorite part of a talent show that I watch. Even though everyonepetes with each other, they are all very kind and friendly. They always help each other out. I feel very touched whenever I see them doing so.] [Thats right. Actually, everyone likes to see nice things happening.] [Isnt it just a matter of convenience to bring breakfast? Does she think she can clear her name just like that?] [Thats right. I really dont know who hired the bots to talk about feeling touched in thements.] The theme song assessment for the one-day ss officially began at nine oclock. All members gathered in the hall. The instructors and the stage witness, Huo Xunzhou, had already arrived. After a brief opening speech, the assessment began very quickly. Who will begin the assessment first? Is anyone willing to step up and perform Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair while holding his microphone and looking around. When he saw Lin Shanchu in the corner, his eyes lingered for a moment, but he quickly looked away. Ill do it! Two voices rang out at the same time. One of them was Yun Wu, who was sitting beside Lin Shanchu. The other was Xia Jinmeng, who was sitting in the middle. Xia Jinmeng knew how powerful Yun Wu was. Her heart tightened, but she still said with a generous expression, Then Yun Wu can go first. Can we do it together? Yun Wu asked Huo Xunzhou. Xia Jinmengs heart sank. Yun Wu was much stronger than her. If they performed together, the gap would be very obvious. What do you think, instructors? Huo Xunzhou turned to look at the instructors. Bai Yu, who usually didnt express much of his opinion, said, I think its fine. The other two mentors did not have any objections and agreed. Xia Jinmengs expression changed immediately. She would definitely lose if she were to dance to the theme song with Yun Wu.. Chapter 50 - 50: Lin Shanchu Said She Wanted to Challenge For a Spot in Class A Chapter 50: Lin Shanchu Said She Wanted to Challenge For a Spot in ss A Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Wu moved her arms and walked out. She turned around and saw that Xia Jinmeng was still dawdling. So, she raised her chin at her and said, Hurry up. Xia Jinmeng forced a smile and replied, Okay. Many of the members knew Xia Jinmeng, so they were very supportive of her. Wen Tongtongs voice was the loudest. Jinmeng, you can do it! When Lin Shanchu saw this, she put her hands together to form a megaphone around her lips and shouted, Yun Wu, good luck! If other girls received cheers, Yun Wu would most definitely receive one too. Yun Wu turned to Lin Shanchu and winked. Thements went crazy. [I enjoyed it!] [Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu have formed a two-way love line!] [Holy sh*t! Boss Yun actually winked! There goes her cool-girl image! Haha!] [What cool girl? Shes just a sweet girl in front of Lin Shanchu!] [But Lin Shanchus cheering is too loud. Even Mr. Huo is looking at her.] [Yeah! Mr. Huo is looking at her.] Huo Xunzhou only nced at Lin Shanchu once before looking away. He felt that Lin Shanchu was a little different. It seemed like She was more lively than before. Xia Jinmeng walked over to Yun Wu and stood beside her. You can start now, said Yun Wu. Begin, Huo Xunzhou announced. As the music started ying, Yun Wus entire aura changed. Her eyes were confident and her expression was calm. Dancing was like a game to her. She sang the lyrics without making a single mistake, and her voice was in tune. She sang and danced perfectly. On the other hand, Xia Jinmeng, who was standing beside her, was a little inferior. She was already under a lot of mental pressure when facing Yun Wu. She was so nervous that she sang the wrong lyrics. In the end, she simply stopped singing. Having spotted this, Xia Jinmengs fans rushed to save her dignity in thement section. [Mengmeng is already doing very well. After all, she has only been practicing for a day.] [You call her amazing? Keep tooting your own horn with your eyes closed!] [Well, this is the difference between King of Glory and Tough Bronze in Honor of Kings.] [I think Xia Jinmeng wont be able to keep her spot as an A-ranker.] The other members didnt expect Xia Jinmeng to fail to even remember the lyrics. The situation was a little awkward. When their performance ended, no one spoke and only apuded. Qin Shuya liked Yun Wu a lot during the initial stage assessment. Yun Wus performance this time did not disappoint her. With a smile on her face, she looked at Yun Wu with satisfaction. After picking up the microphone, she asked Bai Yu, Mr. Bai, what do you think of Yun Wus performance? Bai Yus skin was a shade of pallid white that had not been exposed to the light for many years. Dressed in in ck, he looked sickly and depressed. This ghostlyposer was famous for his entric temper and sharp tongue. During the initial assessment. there was a chance that Bai Yu acted more reserved due to it being the first meeting with the members. This time, it might not be the case. Bai Yu picked up the microphone. His clear and pleasant voice rang out. Not bad. Thank you, Mr. Bai. Yun Wu bowed calmly. The members around her were all praising her. Yun Wu is so awesome. Lin Shanchu sat in the corner, her eyes sweeping back and forth between Bai Yu, Yun Wu, and Huo Xunzhou. Yun Wu, who was supposed to be Huo Xunzhous rumored girlfriend, seemed to be rted to Bai Yu. Bai Yu pulled out Xia Jinmengs information. Xia Jinmeng, he said. Why did you stop singing at the end of the performance? I forgot my lines. Xia Jinmeng pursed her lips in embarrassment. Since youve signed up for the one-day ss, why didnt you memorize the lyrics? Bai Yus expression was stern. Xia Jinmeng held the microphone and looked like she was about to cry. Bai Yus attitude did not soften even though he spotted Xia Jinmengs predicament. The question he asked was blunter than before. Do you think your performance today is worthy of your status as an A-ranker? Xia Jinmeng bit her lip as tears rolled down her face. Her tear-stained appearance was very pitiful. She sobbed and tried to absolve herself by acting pitifully. I practiced tootest night, so I caught a cold and had a fever. Thats why I forgot my lines Xu An noticed that Bai Yu was frowning impatiently, and he knew that thetter would say something even more unpleasant once he opened his mouth again. Hence, he snatched Bai Yus microphone and said, If youre sick, go to the doctor and get some medicine. I look forward to your better performance during the first public showdown. Thements flew across the screen. [Who is this Bai Yu? Hes so annoying!] [As a senior, cant he talk nicely to his junior?] [Dear Mengmeng, dont cry. Youre down with a cold and fever, but you still insisted on practicing. My heart hurts for you!] [Thats right. Cant he be gentler to girls?] [Bai Yu is here to be a mentor. Out of 99 people, only five of them get to make their debut as girl group members. Of course, he has to be strict!] [Xia Jinmeng is so pretentious. She cant even ept such a small criticism. Why did she even participate in the talent show?] After a brief discussion, the instructors re-rated Yun Wu and Xia Jinmeng. Huo Xunzhou announced the final result. Yun Wus rank remains unchanged. Xia Jinmeng will be demoted from A to B. Yun Wu skipped back to Lin Shanchus side. I danced well, didnt I? Lin Shanchu gave her a thumbs up. Xia Jinmengs eyes were filled with anger and hatred when she saw the scene. Yun Wu was too powerful, so she could only admit defeat. However, what was there to be proud of for a useless person like Lin Shanchu? She even stole her limelight. The more Xia Jinmeng thought about it, the more she couldnt take this lying down. She returned to her seat. Wen Tongtongforted her immediately. Mengmeng, you did a great job! Xia Jinmeng chuckled softly in return. When the next group of members came on stage, Xia Jinmeng turned her head and whispered something to Wen Tongtong. I understand, Wen Tongtong said with a smile. The theme song assessment continued. Although the other members from the one-day ss werent as outstanding as Yun Wu, they had also improved a lotpared to the initial stage assessment. Many of the members ratings had risen. However, none of them got an A. Soon, all the members of the one-day ss had finished their assessment. The camera cut to Huo Xunzhou. His slender and beautiful fingers gently sped the script, and his maic voice announced the new rules set by the production crew. Theres still one spot left for ss A. Does anyone want to challenge it? Are members not from the one-day ss allowed to take on the challenge? a member asked. Sure, but if you fail the challenge, youll be directly admitted to ss F, Huo Xunzhou replied. ss F meant that they could only stand at the back of the line during the recording of the theme song. The further back they were, the fewer shots they had. Everyone fell silent. Then, there was a soft discussion. Go and challenge him, Yun Wu said with a nudge. No, Lin Shanchu refused firmly. It felt good having to ck off as a member of the three-day ss. At this moment. Wen Tongtongs voice came from behind. Lin Shanchu said that she wants to challenge for a spot in ss A. Lin Shanchu was confused. She turned to look at Wen Tongtong. Wen Tongtongs eyes shed with a trace of satisfaction as she continued, Lin Shanchu, youre so brave. To think that you want to challenge for the spot in ss A. The camera immediately cut to her. Wen Tongtong asked, Why arent you going up? Are you afraid of failing the challenge and entering ss F? Lin Shanchus back was facing the camera. Her eyes, which had always been warm and harmless, became as cold as a de that sliced Wen Tongtongs flesh off bit by bit. Wen Tongtong was so frightened that she shivered and stammered out, You. Chapter 51 - 51: No, There’s No Need For Her to Do That At All Chapter 51: No, Theres No Need For Her to Do That At All Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu looked at Wen Tongtongs embarrassed expression. The corners of her lips curved up slightly. Her smile was full of mockery. Her expression changed in an instant, and she returned to her usual innocent and harmless look. The camera cut to Lin Shanchus face at this time. She smiled gently and reached out her hand to Wen Tongtong. Wen Tongtong was shocked by the speed at which Lin Shanchus expression changed. She thought that Lin Shanchu wanted to hit her, so she shrank back in fear. What are you doing? However, Lin Shanchus hand only gently fell on her head. Thank you for helping me fight for this opportunity. She gently touched the top of Wen Tongtongs head while speaking in an extremely soft tone. Her entire being was as gentle as water. The perverts led by Ran Zhimo felt like feeling Lin Shanchu up and down again. If it wasnt for the presence of the instructors, they would most likely started touching her straight away. Other than Wen Tongtong, who was the closest to her, no one else noticed the dark and cruel look that Lin Shanchu had disyed just now. Thements went crazy. [Huh? What the hell is Wen Tongtong doing?] [She wants to make a fool of Lin Shanchu!] [Although Wen Tongtongs behavior is quite disgusting, Lin Shanchu deserves it. Shes the one cking off and not practicing, after all!] [Im waiting for thezy b*tch to embarrass herself.] Lin Shanchu stood up and said honestly, I want to challenge for the remaining spot in ss A. Huo Xunzhou looked at her indifferently. Pleasee up the stage. When Lin Shanchu took her first step, she paused. A familiar pain struck her again. How could this be? It had already acted up on the day of the initial assessment. It had only been a few days, but now it was acting up again! Hey idiot! The system sensed Lin Shanchus physical condition. [In your confrontation with Lu Shiyuan, youre naturally on the disadvantageous side. Once he gets close to you, your female lead aura will naturally be weakened. In addition, youve been resisting him all this time, so your body naturally suffered a bacsh.] Lu Shiyuan was here as well? Lin Shanchu looked around and saw Lu Shiyuan and Nan Mu not far away. Nan Mu had a fake professional smile on his face and was talking to Lu Shiyuan in a low voice. It seemed like Lu Shiyuan had already signed the one-million-dor sponsorship contract with Nan Mu. Lu Shiyuan seemed to have sensed something because he looked straight at her. There was anger in his eyes, but there was also a trace of longing. Lin Shanchu felt disgusted just by looking at him. She retracted her gaze. As she walked onto the stage, she made a request to the system. Give me a pain-free card. [I can only give you a pain-free card if you do a mission What are you doing?] Lin Shanchu turned around and dragged a chair behind her. Then, she walked toward Lu Shiyuan with a murderous look on her face. [Lets talk it out!] The system was so scared that it was garbled. Lin Shanchu ignored it. [ Ill give you a pain-free card!] the system said. Lin Shanchu stopped. The system begged her humbly, [Cant you just do a random mission, like expressing your love or something?] Thementers were confused. [What is Lin Shanchu doing?] [It looks like shes about to start a fight!] [Shes so cool! I stan a lunatic beauty!] [Holy f*ck, Lu Shiyuan came to the studio!] [In the end, shes just bringing Lu Shiyuan a chair.] Lin Shanchu threw the chair in front of Lu Shiyuan. Then, she raised her hand in front of Lu Shiyuan. She expressionlessly crossed her thumb and index finger into the shape of a heart. The system was confused. This was different from what it had imagined! Lin Shanchu demanded, Now give me the pain-free card. The system was speechless. It trembled as it handed over the one-time pain-free card. Although Lin Shanchu only gave Lu Shiyuan a heart, it was still considered an improvement, right? It was definitely better than talking about wanting to kill Lu Shiyuan all the time. After getting the pain immunity card, Lin Shanchu turned around and returned to the stage. Lu Shiyuan could only stand there, dumbfounded. What the hell was Lin Shanchu doing? Thements went crazy. [Ahhh! Im here as a rtionship fan of Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu!] [Hahaha! Lu Shiyuans shocked expression is so funny!] [Why is Lin Shanchu so funny? She dragged a chair and gave Lu Shiyuan a heart sign!] [It would be interesting if this couple were to appear on a couple variety show.] [I really dont know whats there to like. The two of them dont seem to love each other at all.] [Cant Lin Shanchu not cause any trouble? Shes so annoying!] [Im here to watch a performance, not to watch a couple being lovey-dovey.] Lin Shanchu gave a 90-degree bow. Im sorry. We can start now. She lowered her eyes slightly and waited for the music to start. When the music started ying, she looked up and started to sing and dance to the music. Her body was soft, and her limbs were long. She moved ording to the music urately, and was able to dance gracefully. In contrast to Resentful Ghost, she seemed to have broken free of all restraints and was free. Even her hair that floated with her movements was pleasing to the eye. Xia Jinmeng, who was in the member seating area, turned green when she watched the performance. Didnt you say that shes been cking off and didnt practice? She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth as she questioned Wen Tongtong. Wen Tongtong had just recovered from the fright that Lin Shanchu gave her. She returned to her dorm to sleep at eight oclockst night and didnt practice much at all, she said, a little annoyed. She chose the three-day ss at the beginning. Whod have known shed learn the whole thing so quickly? Xia Jinmeng was so angry that she ruffled her hair. Did Lin Shanchu secretly wake up in the middle of the night to practice? she asked Yun Wu. Nope. Theres no need for her to do that at all. Yun Wus eyes were still on Lin Shanchu. After she finished speaking, she shouted loudly like Lin Shanchu did for her. Lin Shanchu, good luck! The other members of ss B also followed suit and cheered for Lin Shanchu. Thements filled the section. [Hot damn! Im going to apologize to Lin Shanchu! I wont ever scold her for cking off again! She has the right to sleep early!] [I knew I stanned the right person! Ahhhh! I love you, Lin Shanchu!] [A lot of people scolded her yesterday, but I didnt dare to speak up for her. I keep thinking that shes not the type to ck off!] [Am I the only one who saw Wen Tongtong and Xia Jinmengs faces turn green?] [Just diss Wen Tongtong if thats what you want to do. Dont drag our Mengmeng into this!] [Thats right! Mengmeng is just feeling unwell!] Not only were the members and audience shocked by Lin Shanchus performance, but even the staff on the production crew were shocked. They all thought that Lin Shanchu couldnt take the hardship yesterday, so she decided to ck off and go to bed early. They didnt expect her to have learned the whole theme song long ago. The music stopped. Lin Shanchu also stopped. After she bowed, there was a round of apuse. Nan Mu, who was watching from a distance, also pped excitedly. He had really signed on a treasure. She was smart, beautiful, and capable! Nan Mu caught a glimpse of Lu Shiyuan staring at Lin Shanchu on the stage from the corner of his eye, causing the corners of his mouth to immediately fall back down. You seem to be very satisfied with the performance of our member, Lin Shanchu. Lu Shiyuan ignored him. His eyes were still on Lin Shanchu. She stood on the stage confidently and willfully, making her look very dazzling. To him, this Lin Shanchu looked extremely unfamiliar.. Chapter 52 - 52: It’s Just to Witness Your Incompetent and Furious Expression Chapter 52: Its Just to Witness Your Ipetent and Furious Expression Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Once the apuse stopped, Huo Xunzhou went on stage. Lin Shanchu, do you think you can get an A? He held the microphone and looked at her with his alluring eyes. His calm voice did not have any fluctuations at all. It was as if he was just conversing with an unfamiliar member. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes slightly and looked into his eyes. What do you think, Mr. Huo? Huo Xunzhou did not expect Lin Shanchu to ask such a question. A touch of surprise shed in his eyes. My subjective opinion cant decide your rating. Its up to the professional mentors to judge. Thements went wild. [Ahhhhh! I can keep staring at Huo Xunzhou for the entire day even if he just stands there doing nothing!] [Allow me to correct your statement. Hes not standing, just sitting.] [Oh my god! Both of them look so good together! I want to matchmake them so badly!] [Dont mess around. Although the two of them know each other, theyre not familiar with each other. Besides, her fianc is still at the scene!] Huo Xunzhou finished his sentence. The camera panned to the mentors seating area. Qin Shuya, who had been informed by the directors crew in advance, looked at Bai Yu with a smile. Mr. Bai, you can go first. Bai Yus eyelids twitched slightly as he picked up the microphone in a very cooperative manner. Lin Shanchu, do you know that many people are waiting for you to make a fool of yourself? The moment he said that, the effects of the variety show were instantly maximized. I know. Lin Shanchu chuckled lightly. Her expression was calm, and her tone was rxed. Bai Yuxin was surprised at her calmness, but his tone remained stern. Do you think youve embarrassed yourself today? Thements came flooding in. [The scene that Ive been looking forward to has appeared again!] [This is the reason why most people dont dare to invite Bai Yu to their shows. He never follows the script and says whatever he wants.] [This familiar tone and sentence structure Hes obviously not satisfied with Lin Shanchus performance. Thest person he spoke to in this tone was Xia Jinmeng, who ended up crying on the spot.] [Will Lin Shanchu burst into tears after getting scolded?] Lin Shanchu asked seriously, Mr. Bai, are you not satisfied with my singing performance? Of all the students who took part in the assessment today, your vocal performance is the best, Bai Yu replied. Then I didnt make a fool of myself. Lin Shanchu smiled. Bai Yu alsoughed and nodded. Good luck. This girl looked extremely weak, but her mental strength was very strong. Qin Shuya had a good impression of Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu because their Resentful Ghost performance. When she was talking to Lin Shanchu, the corners of her mouth remained lifted the whole time. Lin Shanchu, your foundation is rtively weak among these students, but your performance just now was the greatest improvement among all of them! After a short discussion, the instructors came to a final evaluation. Huo Xunzhou announced the result, Lin Shanchu has sessfully advanced to ss A. He then added, Congrattions. Her fans spammed a wave of Lin Shanchu is awesome! in thement section. Xia Jinmengs fans and Lin Shanchus haters were extremely jealous. [Even someone like Lin Shanchu can get an A. This show is hopeless!] [Why dont we change the name to The Stage Sponsored By The Fianc?] The passers-by couldnt stand it anymore. [Its true that Lin Shanchu has always been looked down on, but her performance today can indeed be ranked in the top five among all the students in the one-day ss assessment.] [I really cant stand it anymore. Can you stop your brainless criticism?] [How much money can you earn by posting a maliciousment about Lin Shanchu? Were all of the same race, arent we? Lets earn some money together!] Huo Xunzhou continued the process. The member voting channel will be opened on the day of the theme song recording, he announced. After this, all members will be participating in their first public showdown where they can choose their songs to perform to. The top 15 students will have priority in choosing their songs. Please do your best, everyone! Todays official recording came to an end. The members of ss B all came over to congratte Lin Shanchu. Congrattions on advancing to ss A! Remember toe back often to visit even if youre in ss A. At this moment, a staff member came over to call Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu,e with me for a moment. The smile on Lin Shanchus face faded. The staff hade to look for her to ask her to meet Lu Shiyuan. The other members had naturally thought of this as well as they all revealed meaningful smiles. They even started to urge her. Hurry up and go now. Dont let him wait for too long. Then, Im going over now. Lin Shanchu smiled and waved at them, then left with the staff member. The moment she turned around, the smile on her face disappearedpletely. An envious conversation could be heard behind her. Shes definitely a winner in life. Shes so outstanding, not to mention fianc dotes on her and loves her so much! But I thought girl group members cant fall in love. Some people are just different. She and Lu Shiyuan have a lot of rtionship fans. Even if she falls in love, it wont affect her poprity All bystanders could only see the performance put out by the actors. Only Lin Shanchu knew how dirty everything was under the peaceful and amazing illusion of things. The staff member brought Lin Shanchu to the door of the guest room. The bodyguards standing guard at the door looked familiar. on. She remembered. They were Lu Shiyuans bodyguards. Lin Shanchu pushed the door open. Nan Mu, who had been looking at the door, stood up when he saw her enter. Youre here. Nan Mus expression was filled with worry. Lin Shanchus lips curved up slightly, indicating that he did not need to worry. Nan Mu nced at Lu Shiyuan. President Lu, shes here. Just say what you have to say. Lu Shiyuans eyes had not moved away from Lin Shanchu since the moment she entered. His gaze was like a venomous snake. It was also like a beast patrolling its own territory, carefully inspecting every inch and not letting anything go. The fear and disgust emanating from her bones made Lin Shanchu nauseous. President Nan, I want to speak to him in private. Nan Mu saw that she didnt look well and was a little worried, so he didnt leave immediately. However, Lin Shanchu had already sat down opposite Lu Shiyuan. Seeing that Lin Shanchu was so insistent, Nan Mu could not say anything more. No matter what Lin Shanchu did to Lu Shiyuan in private, the two of them were still engaged on the outside. He had signed on Lin Shanchu, so he was her boss, but he could not meddle in her private affairs. Nan Mu walked out, looking back with every step he took. Only Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu were left in the spacious meeting room. Lu Shiyuan, who had been patient for a long time, finally revealed his true colors. He stood up abruptly and mmed his hands on the table. A sinister look appeared in his eyes. Why did you sign a contract with Tianzhou Media? The reason why I signed a contract with Tianzhou Media Lin Shanchus tone was light and slow. She paused for a moment, looked up at Lu Shiyuan, and smiled at him. After that, she finished the second half of the sentence. Its just to witness your ipetent and furious expression. Lin Shanchu! Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he raised his hand at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu looked straight at him, not avoiding him at all. Her clear eyes were calm. One could clearly see the depths of her eyes, but they couldnt detect any emotions. When did the eyes that always had a pleading expression in his memory be like this? Lu Shiyuans raised hand stopped in mid-air.. Chapter 53 - 53: There Are Times When Huo Xunzhou Would Throw a Tantrum Chapter 53: There Are Times When Huo Xunzhou Would Throw a Tantrum The air seemed to have frozen at this moment. Lin Shanchus cold eyes gradually revealed a trace of ridicule. Why did you stop? Lu Shiyuans hand that was raised in the air slowly clenched into a fist. Lin Shanchus lips curved up slightly as she looked at Lu Shiyuan with interest. In the past, you would never stop when you raised your hand to p me. Why are you so cowardly now that you even hesitate to p me? When she said this, she used her usual gentle tone. Her nonchnt tone made it seem like she was talking about someone elses business. But her eyes were cold. It was a bone-chilling cold. Lu Shiyuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. It was like being pricked by needles. It was a long and intense pain. It was so deep that one couldnt see the bottom. Ive never mistreated you since you were young! Even after what happened back then, I still allowed you to stay in the Lu family! Yet, youve decided to be my enemy time and time again! You even colluded with outsiders to dig a hole for me to jump into! Lin Shanchu! Do you even have a heart? Such a high and mighty attitude. He spoke as if he was the victim. It was exactly the same as in the original novel. The plot had changed because of her awakening, but Lu Shiyuan still developed ording to the original novel. Thats right. Something did happen that year, causing Tang Qidai to risk her life to save you. You have to treat her well. If she ends up getting hurt in the slightest, itll be your fault for being ungrateful, Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath impatiently. As for a heartless person like me, I only hope that both of you will die soon. Although Lin Shanchu had changed a lot during this period of time, she never concealed her hatred for Lu Shiyuan. However, when Lu Shiyuan heard Lin Shanchu personally say that she wanted him to die, he still found it unbelievable. How did the girl who used to only have eyes for him be so vicious? He thought about it and felt uneasy for a few days before he decided to sponsor the show and give Lin Shanchu a chance to repent. Even though Lin Shanchu had done such a thing back then, he still could notpletely leave her behind. However, the person in front of him was no longer the Lin Shanchu he knew. There was no point in saying anything anymore. Lu Shiyuan slowly retracted his hand and looked at her deeply. You dont have the right to hate me! You owe me too much! Dont even think about getting rid of me before you pay me back what you owe me! Lin Shanchu was tired of hearing such idiotic words. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was time for lunch.. Yun Wu would wait for her every day so that they could eat together. Lin Shanchu turned around and walked out. Lu Shiyuan could not stand Lin Shanchus disregard for him. He shouted hysterically at her back, Dont think that I cant do anything to you just because youre hiding in the production crew! Lin Shanchu did not seem to hear him. She just walked straight out. The moment she stepped out of the door, she heard a familiar voice. Lu Shiyuans bodyguards were guarding the door. Li MO was standing in front of one of the bodyguards. With a serious expression, he reached out and pinched the bodyguards arm. Its quite sturdy. Which gang were you from before? The bodyguard shook off Li Mos hand and looked at him as if he was a lunatic. When Li ,o heard the door open, he turned around and greeted respectfully, Ms. Lin. Lin Shanchu nodded slightly at him. Then, she left. Li MO quickly caught up. The reception room was the office area, not the filming area. Therefore, there were no cameras. Lin Shanchu slowed down and quickly walked side by side with Li Mo. What are you doing here? Under normal circumstances, Huo Xunzhou would be wherever Li MO was. Her question seemed to be a little difficult for Li MO to answer. Li MO frowned and thought for a moment before whispering, Big Brother asked me toe. Huo Xunzhous original words were to ask him toe over and take a look. He did not say anything else. But he knew that his big brother was probably worried about Ms. Lin. Of course, he had to let Ms. Lin know of his big brothers intentions. Even though his brother knew that he had told Ms. Lin the truth, he would probably kill him with his eyes. However, the person in the guest room was Lu Shiyuan. That man was Big Brothers number one love rival! Lin Shanchu was stunned when she heard this. Huo Xunzhou sent him here? Big Brother. Li MO suddenly stopped in his tracks. Lin Shanchu looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in a wheelchair around the corner. First, he asked Li MO toe to the guest room. Now, he hade over himself. Lin Shanchu stopped in his tracks. Her train of thought also stopped. She just looked at him in a daze from afar. Huo Xunzhou turned his eyes away. Im here to look for Li Mo. He took the initiative to exin. As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized that it was inappropriate. No one asked him why he was here. Thus, his exnation seemed a little unnecessary, making one think that he might be here because of other motives. Li MO was speechless. He dug his toes into the ground. He felt a little embarrassed for his big brother. A smile threatened to break out in Lin Shanchus eyes. Huo Xunzhou was always cold and aloof, but he clearly cared about her. Yet, he was trying his best to hide it. It was so awkward that it was cute. Oh. Although Lin Shanchu tried to hide it, there was still a hint of a smile in her voice. Huo Xunzhou was a smart person. When he heard Lin Shanchus tone, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. The way he looked at Li MO became unnervingly nice. Li MO tried to hide behind Lin Shanchu to seek protection. Lin Shanchu coughed lightly. I have a friend waiting for me to eat together, so Ill be leaving first. Goodbye. She quickened her pace and left. Li MO was speechless. Nan Mu was right. Women were definitely heartless. Big Brother, let me exin Li Mos cautious tone was filled with his desire to live. Huo Xunzhou turned the wheelchair and left with a nk expression. Li MO chased after him and tried to help him push the wheelchair. Let go of me! Huo Xunzhou said coldly. Li MO immediately hid his hands behind his back, not daring to touch the wheelchair again. Lin Shanchu, who had walked away, turned back and saw this scene. She could not help but smile. There were times when Huo Xunzhou would throw a tantrum. Tang Qidai was shooting an advertisement in the studio today. After lunch, she took out her phone and logged into Weibo. She had posted nine pictures that formed a huge selfie in the morning, so she wanted to see how her fans were praising her and whether she had gained more fans. In the end, the moment she opened her Weibo, she received countless tags. She opened one and sat up straight. [@Tang Qidai, your good friend, Lin Shanchu, has scored an A in her theme song assessment!] How could Lin Shanchu the trash obtain an A? Tang Qidai clicked on the trending list and saw the topic #Lin Shanchu got an A in her theme song assessment at the top of the list. On top of this topic, another topic rted to Lin Shanchu followed suit. #Lin Shanchu gave Lu Shiyuan a heart sign on the spot Theizens were a mysterious organization. They may not be good at anything else, but they exceled at rubbing salt on ones wounds. They purposely tagged Tang Qidai under this topic. [Hurry up and give your good wishes to your good friends, @Tang Qidai] Chapter 54 - 54: That Group of Brainless Fans Chapter 54: That Group of Brainless Fans Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In order to gain poprity, Tang Qidai had previously sent her blessings to Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu on Weibo. At that time, Lin Shanchu had liked the post of a marketing ount instead of her post. She was ridiculed by theizens because of this. Even now, someizens were still mocking her about this matter from time to time. Now that Lin Shanchu had made a name for herself in My Stage and was frequently on the trending list, someizens brought up the past. Naturally, Tang Qidai could not take this lying down. She reposted andmented on the Weibo post. Tang Qidai: [Of course, I have to give my blessings to Shanshan and Brother Shiyuan! :heartemote:] The moment she posted on Weibo, her die-hard fans immediately came out to like andment on the post. Then, the die-hard fans noticed the content of the original Weibo post. Only then did he realize that the original poster was ridiculing Tang Qidai. How could the die-hard fans tolerate this? They immediately dispatched the anti-hate team to raid the original posters Weibo. As usual, they insulted the original posters entire existence. [I can tell that you dont have a mom from one look.] [Your whole family is dead, and yet youre not honoring them at their graves. All you do is to screech like a baboon.] [If you dare to speak to Daidai like this again, I wont let you off.] [Maggots should just stay in the cesspit and not crawl around.] [Ive already found your address, Be careful when you go out next time.] Tang Qidai felt much better when she saw her fans hurling insults at the original poster. Her assistant, He Xiang, who had gone out to buy coffee for Tang Qidai, pushed the door open and entered at that moment. Seeing Tang Qidais smiling face, she asked, Ms. Dai, what made you so happy? Tang Qidai nodded, signaling for her to bring the coffee over. He Xiang handed her the coffee. She took the coffee and took a sip in enjoyment. That group of brainless fans went to help me scold people again. He Xiangs expression froze. The reason why she applied to be Tang Qidais assistant was because she had a good impression of her. It was only after she arrived that she realized that Tang Qidai actually had a bad temper. However, she was still a partial fan of Tang Qidai, so she instinctively tried to find an excuse for her. Tang Qidai was the daughter of a wealthy family and was doted on by Lu Shiyuan. It was normal for her to have a bad temper. Moreover, Tang Qidai was kind to her sometimes. Tang Qidai did not notice He Xiangs abnormal behavior. She was still holding her phone delightedly and showing the assistant thements of her fans insulting the original poster. He Xiangs brows furrowed as she watched. Ms. Dai, did you just instigate your fans to cyberbully that poster? me the poster who tagged me with weird intentions. Tang Qidai could care less. But your rivals might use this as a leverage over you, He Xiang said hesitantly. Whats wrong with that? No matter what happens, Brother Shiyuan will help me settle it. Tang Qidai continued to scroll through thements whileughing. He Xiang felt a chill in her heart. Tang Qidai actually took pleasure in cyberbullying others. She quietly left the lounge and gave Tang Qidais manager a call. Even though she did not agree with Tang Qidais way of doing things, she was still Tang Qidais assistant. She should do what an assistant should do. Jiang Tang had promised her fans that she would post a video tonight. So, she had to stay up all night to edit the footage. She had just fallen asleep in the morning. After she woke up in the afternoon, she ordered takeout. She scrolled through Weibo while waiting for the takeout to arrive. Seeing Lin Shanchus trending list, Jiang Tang clicked on it with excitement. Then, she uploaded a picture of Lin Shanchu and posted it on Weibo. Sugar Ginger: [My dear treasure, good luck! :image:] Her fans responded immediately. [Ever since My Stage has started broadcasting, Gingers main ount is slowly transforming into a stan ount.] [Did Sugar end up picking Lin Shanchu?] [Although I picked Yun Wu, Im also a fan of her rtionship with Lin Shanchu. In a way, were one big happy family.] [Sugar, the voting channel for My Stage is already activated! You can vote for your dear treasure now!] A voting strategy was also attached to the end of thement. Not only did the fan ounts have two voting tickets, fans outside but they could also obtain extra tickets by doing missions and purchasing merchandise that coborated with the show. The more everyone read the guide, the more confused they became. Jiang Tang didnt hesitate to raise her hand and spend money on products just to vote for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchus total votes shot up to the top, pushing down Xia Jinmeng, who was originally in first ce. Satisfied, Jiang Tang turned to sign in at Lin Shanchus super chat. After doing all this, she remembered that she had not seen her fans private messages for a long time. She casually opened one of them. [Sugar, can you help my friend? She got cyberbullied on the inte] There was a screenshot attached to the message. Jiang Tang took a closer look. It turned out that Tang Qidai, the woman who exceled in acting pure and innocent, was instigating her fans to cyberbully aizen on the inte. Aha! It was bad enough that Tang Qidai interfered with a rtionship while pretending to be pure and innocent, but it was worse now that she started cyberbullying other people! Jiang Tang strived to shine the light of justice on this matter. She found the original Weibo post, took a screenshot to collect evidence, and contacted some marketing ounts. She didnt expect the marketing ounts to be such cowards. Tang Qidai is under Lu Shiyuans protection. I dont dare to mess with her. Fine. She decided to personally handle the matter. Jiang Tang directly posted the screenshot on Weibo. Sugar Ginger: [Im totally innocent. Dear fans, please protect me! :screenshot:] Since Jiang Tang would be posting a video tonight, her fans had been paying attention to her movements all day. As soon as she posted on Weibo, her fans started toe in one after another. [Isnt she instigating cyberbullying at this rate?] [The original poster did sound a little weird, but she didnt say anything outrageous! Tang Qidai did instigate her fans to cyberbully the poster!] [I just went to the Weibo page of the poster who got attacked on the inte. Her Weibo has already been bombarded by Tang Qidais fans, and they are simply unsightly to look at.] [Thats normal. Tang Qidais fans have always been like this. Besides, she never stopped her fans from doing this.] [Yes, this is not the first time.] The fans reposted it one after another, and the poprity of this Weibo post immediately went up. As soon as it became popr, the cowardly marketing ounts also came over to share a slice of the pie. The matter fermented very quickly. The topic #Tang Qidai instigated her fans to cyberbully someone quickly climbed to the bottom of the trending list. Tang Qidais manager was in a meeting at thepany, so she didnt pick up He Xiangs call. When she came out of the meeting, she found out that #Tang Qidai instigated her fans to cyberbully someone had gone on the trending list. She immediately called Tang Qidai. However, Tang Qidai had already started shooting themercial, so her phone was with He Xiang. Tang Qidai had ordered He Xiang before not to answer her calls for her. He Xiang used her phone to call her manager. Hi, Ms. Manager. Wheres Daidai? The manager was still fuming. Ms. Dai is filming. Ill be right there. Tang Qidais shoot had just ended when her manager arrived. What are you doing here? She was a little surprised to see her manager. Look at what youve done! The manager threw the phone at her. Tang Qidai was unhappy with her managers attitude, but she did not voice it out. The topic #Tang Qidai instigated her fans to cyberbully someone had already climbed into the top 20 rankings of the trending list. Cant we just get rid of the topic with the PRs help? Tang Qidai didnt really care about the matter.. Chapter 55 - 55: Can Someone Tell Me What Happened Chapter 55: Can Someone Tell Me What Happened Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The manager was so angry that her temples throbbed. The problem is that the PR is unable to deal with this situation! How can the PR fail to get rid of the trending topic? Did Brother Shiyuan hire you all just to ck off? Tang Qidai was used to being rude and unreasonable. Once her manager annoyed her, shed scold her right away. The manager had a stormy expression on her face as she said, Youve gone ahead and done it this time. The PR department cant do anything about it. President Lu must be the one to deal with this personally. What? Tang Qidai picked up her phone doubtfully and clicked on the topic. Jiang Tangs Weibo post was the top post. She clicked on the main page and took a look. Isnt she just a content creator? Tang Qidai replied disdainfully. Whats the big deal? The source material that appeared in her video is something that you cant afford to buy even if youpile all of the sries that you earned since your debut together! the manager retorted with a sneer Tang Qidai frowned, thinking that her manager was lying to her. How is that possible? She doesnt exist among the circle of young rich girls in Xu City! Xu City isnt the only ce in this world. You can easily find rich people out on the streets if youre in Capital City! The manager used to think that Tang Qidai was a little smart. Now, she felt that Tang Qidai was an idiot. She didnt know how such an idiot like her was able to gain Lu Shiyuans favor. Tang Qidai finally started to get anxious. What do we do now? You should call President Lu. The managers attitude improved a little. After all, Lu Shiyuan was really nice to Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai might be aplete buffoon, but that didnt stop Lu Shiyuan from liking her. Tang Qidai called Lu Shiyuan several times in a row. But Lu Shiyuan didnt pick up. Hes probably in a meeting at the moment. Ill go to thepany to find him. Tang Qidai felt a little uneasy. Under normal circumstances, Lu Shiyuan would pick up her call immediately. Was it because he saw Lin Shanchu today and got bewitched? The more Tang Qidai thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She also knew that everything she had now was all thanks to Lu Shiyuan. She had to hold on to Lu Shiyuans heart tightly. Lu Corporation. In the presidents office. Lu Shiyuan was sitting in front of his desk with open documents in front of him. At first nce, he seemed to be working seriously. However, upon a closer look, one would realize that Lu Shiyuan wasnt even looking at the documents. He was just in a daze. Zhou Yan pushed the door open and came in to bring him coffee. President Lu, heres your coffee. He lowered his head and nced at the document. Then, he realized that the page was the same as when he had entered half an hour ago. President Lu had been like this ever since he came back from the production crew of My Stage. Zhou Yan did not dare to say anything more either. He turned around and left. Just as he closed the door, he heard Tang Qidais voice. Assistant Zhou. Ms. Tang. Zhou Yan heaved a sigh of relief before taking the initiative to say, President Lu has been in a bad mood ever since he came back. I know. Ive brought dinner for Brother Shiyuan. You dont have to order for him anymore. Tang Qidais nerves rxed. It seemed like Lin Shanchu had done something stupid again to make Brother Shiyuan unhappy. It was just what she wanted. Tang Qidai fixed her hair at the doorway and pushed it open. Brother Shiyuan. She called out to him twice in a row before Lu Shiyuan came back to his senses and looked at her. Qidai? Lu Shiyuans expression softened after noticing Tang Qidai. I brought you dinner. Tang Qidai sized up Lu Shiyuans expression. Brother Shiyuan, are you unhappy? Lu Shiyuan looked at her without saying a word. Is it because of Shanshan? You know what shes like. Shes been like this since she was young, so dont take her words to heart. After all, her parents At this point, Tang Qidai stole a nce at Lu Shiyuans expression. She deliberately sighed and stopped talking. Lu Shiyuan sneered. I kept her around in the Lu family because her parents were the benefactors of my family! As for her? Heh! Lu Shiyuan heaved a long sigh afterward. Then, he looked at Tang Qidai with a gentle gaze. Qidai, youre always so kind. Dont speak up for Lin Shanchu anymore. Shes not worth it! Tang Qidai wore a puzzled and awkward expression. Ever since Shanshan participated in the show, her poprity has been rising. Although her fans are a little radical, Im still very happy for her. Whats wrong with her fans? Lu Shiyuan frowned. Its fine, Brother Shiyuan. Tang Qidai looked sad, but she didnt say anything about her woes. Lu Shiyuan directly called the internal line to summon Zhou Yan into the office. Zhou Yan told him about Tang Qidais appearance on the trending list. I never expected that my fans would scold the poster, Tang Qidai exined with reddened eyes. I just wanted to give you and Shanshan my well-wishes I know, Lu Shiyuanforted her gently. After that, he personally made a call to settle the matter. Brother Shiyuan, Tang Qidai said gratefully. Youre so nice to me. I dont know how to thank you. Thats what I should do. Lu Shiyuan recalled what Lin Shanchu had said to him. Youre so gentle and understanding. Im worried that youll be bullied. If anything happens, you must tell me immediately, okay? Yes. Tang Qidais sadness vanished on the spot as she smiled happily. The moment she walked out of Lu Shiyuans office. The smile on Tang Qidais face faded. It was reced by smugness and ruthlessness. Brother Shiyuan hated Lin Shanchu more and more. It seemed that he had given up on Lin Shanchu. Tang Qidai opened her WeChat contact list and clicked on Jiang Ziyus moments page. She scrolled to a post she had posted half a month ago: [My vacation has ended. Im now officially joining the production crew of My Stage.] The corners of Tang Qidais mouth slowly curled upward, revealing a cold and sinister smile. She returned to the chat interface and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Ziyu. [Are you busy?] Jiang Ziyu replied instantly, [Nope.] [We havent seen each other for a long time. Lets have a cup of coffee together.] Jiang Ziyu replied, [Okay!] The topic #Tang Qidai has instigated her fans to cyberbully someone was removed just as it climbed to the top ten ranking of the trending list. Theizens realized the topic had disappeared just as they were discussing it. They were both confused and angry. [Amazing! Instead of apologizing, she decided to remove the topic from the trending list!] [Tang Qidai sure is awesome, huh?] [Is Tang Qidai really the awesome one? The capital backing her up is the true MVP.] [Lets be more straightforward. Lu Shiyuan is seriously disgusting.] [I used to like Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu being a couple. Now, I felt like I just ate a pile of dung.] [Lin Shanchu has been helping the members in the talent show for the entire afternoon and has yet to rest. Meanwhile, Lu Shiyuan helped his so-called good friend remove the trending topic outside the show. How wonderful!] [This adulterous couple is too disgusting. Im going to watch My Stage just to cleanse my eyes.] [Bring me along. Im going too.] It was already nine oclock at night, but Lin Shanchu was not asleep yet. In ss Bs training room. Ning Yunxi copsed on the ground. Big Sister, I cant do it anymore. Im seriously a bad dancer. Sob Lin Shanchu dragged her to her feet calmly. No, you can do it. Thements filled the screen. [Hahaha! Ive been watching them for the whole afternoon! The more I watch, the more addicted I be! Hahaha!] [I just came here.. Can someone tell me what happened?] Chapter 56 - 56: What a Killjoy

Chapter 56: What a Killjoy

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Lin Shanchu had lunch, she went to ss A with Yun Wu. After they practiced for a short while, members from other sses came over. The members abilities varied. Some could practice the theme song in a day, while others could not even follow the dance steps. For example, the members of ss F. Most of the members sought An Youyun out. Who wouldnt love sweet-looking girls? She was beautiful, had a sweet voice, and had a good temper. Next was Yun Wu. Yun Wu looked like a tough and arrogant girl, but the news of her teaching the dance steps in ss B yesterday had already spread. Everyone knew that she was willing to teach the dance steps and was extremely patient. The other students in ss A also had friends they knew. In the end, Lin Shanchu was the only one left. She didnt really care about anything as she continued practicing on her own calmly. As she practiced, she felt someone watching her. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw a girl sticking her head out of the door to look at her. Lin Shanchu nced at the name tag. It showed Ning Yunxi. She had an impression of Ning Yunxi. Ning Yunxis initial stage assessment was a kiddie dance, which did not look out of ce since she had a child-like face. After the performance ended, the instructors asked her why she hade to participate in the program. Ning Yunxi had said that she didnt want to inherit her familys pig farm, so she had been wandering outside alone. However, her circumstances worsened to the point that she couldnt even eat. In the end, it was a friend who introduced her to the show. When she heard that food and amodation were provided, she enrolled immediately. Ning Yunxi did not expect Lin Shanchu to suddenly turn around. Her doe-like eyes kept blinking rapidly while she looked very nervous. Lin Shanchu put her hands on her hips and tilted her head slightly. Are you looking for me? Yes. Ning Yunxi nodded and ran to her in small steps. She asked carefully, Can you teach me how to dance? Humans had alwayscked resistance to cute things. Sure. Such a cute little sister. She must teach her! They would not stop until Ning Yunxi learned the dance! Thements went crazy. [Lin Shanchu: Someone finally came to me.] [Help! Why do I feel like every girl is a potential partner with Lin Shanchu now?] [Isnt this the girl the one who has to raise pigs if she doesnt make her debut?] [Hahaha! Why did the crybabye to ss A?] [I spent the entire afternoon in ss Fs live room yesterday. Ning Yunxi cried as she practiced the dance, but she just couldnt learn it. She was so pitiful yet cute at the same time! I cant help butugh at her! Hahaha!] Overjoyed, Ning Yunxi replied obediently, Thank you, Big Sister. The reason why she came to Lin Shanchu was that she felt that Lin Shanchu looked the gentlest and easiest to get along with. Lin Shanchu would definitely not mind her poor foundation. Ning Yunxis initial assessment stage results could prove that she had no foundation in dancing whatsoever. Lin Shanchu was prepared to suffer with Ning Yunxi. When Ning Yunxi made a mistake at first, she even apologized in embarrassment. Toward the end, when Ning Yunxi made a mistake for the hundredth time, she broke down immediately. Im too useless! I cant learn the dance at all Waaaa! She was crying so hard that her nose started running, but she didnt care about her image at all. Clearly, she was extremely sad. Lin Shanchu calmly handed her a piece of tissue paper. You can do it. Thements started discussing the events. [Everyone,e look! Ning Yunxi is crying again!] [It pleases me so much to see her crying to the point that shes formed snot bubbles. Then again, shes super cute.] [Its starting now Shes crying again] [Why isnt Lin Shanchu showing any expressions? Has she gotten impatient?] With Lin Shanchus help, Ning Yunxi cried and practiced for the entire afternoon. Every time Ning Yunxi cried whileining that the dance moves were too difficult or she couldnt do it at all, Lin Shanchu would always reassure her calmly that she could do it. At eight oclock in the evening, Ning Yunxi could finally perform the theme songs dance smoothly. Big Sister, you should go and rest. I can practice on my own. She knew that Lin Shanchu had to return to the dormitory for the night after eight oclock struck. Lin Shanchu said, Lets perform the dance one more time. Thements filled the screen. [Lin Shanchu is really in high spirits. Shes determined to drill the dance into Ning Yunxis head.] [That strong and hard -headed woman finally found her match, which is Ning Yunxi.] [Ning Yunxi didnt expect it either, did she? She thought she found herself the gentlest member to teach her the dance, but it turned out that Lin Shanchu is the strictest and most resilient teacher ever. Haha!] Just like that, Lin Shanchu practiced with Ning Yunxi until nine oclock. Ning Yunxi was most likely starting to tire because she made another mistake. Ning Yunxi was very disappointed in herself. She slumped to the ground. Big Sister, I cant do it anymore. I really cant dance well. Lin Shanchu calmly pulled her up to her feet. No, you can. Thements went wild. [Hahaha! Ive been watching them for the whole afternoon. The more I watch, the more addicted I be! Hahaha!] [I just came here. Can someone tell me what happened?] [To sum it up, theres a crybaby member whos at Tough Bronze rank. She thought that she found herself a very gentle King of Honor as a teacher, but it turned out that this teacher is very strong and resilient. She never gave the poor Tough Bronze member a chance to give up at all. Hahaha!] [How is Lin Shanchu worthy of being called a King of Glory? She just got lucky in that theme song assessment.] [That girl was alreadyining about her exhaustion, and yet Lin Shanchu refused to let her go! Thats definitely too much!] Can I really do it? Ning Yunxi started to doubt herself. She looked like she was about to cry as well. Lin Shanchu retorted, Would you like to go back to your pig-rearing life? Ning Yunxi was speechless. The girl who didnt want to return to that life gritted her teeth and continued practicing. After that, she danced a few times in a row without making any mistakes. Ning Yunxi hugged Lin Shanchu excitedly while crying out loud. Youre practically my dear older sister! I cant believe you actually taught me the whole dance! Waaa! Seeing that Ning Yunxi was about to produce more snot bubbles from her runny nose, Lin Shanchu retreated to the side quickly. Then, she turned around to screw open the cap of a water bottle before handing it to Ning Yunxi. Drink some water. This girl was definitely talented at crying. Ning Yunxi finished more than half of the bottled water in one go before sniffling. You never lied to me. I didnt know I could actually Thements went to another topic. [Is there anyone else who came from Weibo just to cleanse their eyes?] [Me!] [All Im saying is that this scenery of people helping each other out is a huge contrast to the scene of a certain killjoy who removed a certain trending topic.] [No wonder Lin Shanchu didnt sign a contract with the Lu Corporation!] [I think thats the reason too. Lu Shiyuans behavior this time is too disgusting. His usual behavior must be the same!] [I predict that Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan will break up in the near future.] [I hope the prettydy will break up with the disgusting killjoy and stay single!] Lin Shanchu waspletely unaware of what happened outside. She was in a good mood. She felt a sense of aplishment after teaching Ning Yunxi. In the past, she used to revolve around Lu Shiyuan, as if he was the greatest meaning of her life. Now that she was out of Lu Shiyuans control, every day she spent in the production crew was very meaningful. After practicing with Ning Yunxi for a while, Lin Shanchu returned to the dormitory to rest. When she was about to reach the entrance of the dormitory, she saw a girl sneakily looking in from a distance. The girl was wearing ss Bs training uniform. The members were all very slim. When they wore their training uniforms, Lin Shanchu could not recognize them.. Chapter 57 - 57: Do I Look That Scary? Chapter 57: Do I Look That Scary? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchus footsteps were light, so the girl did not notice her approach. Who are you looking for? Ah! When she heard a voice speaking to her all of a sudden, the girl who was looking into the dormitory was shocked and turned her head in a panic. Lin Shanchu saw her face clearly. Xia Jinmeng? Noticing that Lin Shanchu was the one talking to her, Xia Jinmeng retorted angrily, Why didnt you make any sounds when you walked? Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Xia Jinmeng never had a direct conflict with Lin Shanchu. However, Lin Shanchu knew that Xia Jinmeng had always disliked her. Hence, it was normal for Xia Jinmeng to talk to her in this manner. Lin Shanchu looked into the dormitory and saw no one there. Therefore, Xia Jinmeng couldnt be here to look for someone. Lin Shanchu raised an eyebrow as she looked at Xia Jinmeng coldly. What are you doing here? Cant I just pass by and take a look? Xia Jinmeng snorted coldly. The cameras in the dormitory were usually turned on in the morning, so Xia Jinmeng didnt have to worry about having her bad attitude recorded by the cameras at that hour. Lin Shanchu noticed that Xia Jinmeng did not look at her when she spoke. It was clearly a sign of guilt. Xia Jinmeng and Tang Qidai were childhood friends. Tang Qidai had relied on Lu Shiyuans support all these years to do whatever she wanted in the industry. At the same time, she also made many friends. There were so many staff members in the production crew, so it was possible that one of them was affiliated with Tang Qidai. It was easy to get someone to pass some information to Xia Jinmeng and do some small tricks. Lin Shanchu scanned Xia Jinmengs entire body without a word. Then, she reached out and pushed Xia Jinmeng into the dormitory. Whats there to see at the entrance? You can just go in and take a look. What are you pushing me for? Xia Jinmengs voice became slightly sharp because of her nervousness. Lin Shanchu didnt even look at her as she turned to close the door. Xia Jinmeng inexplicably felt that Lin Shanchu was behaving a little weirdly at this time. Lin Shanchus face didnt have any sinister expression. In fact, she wasnt even showing any emotions. However, Xia Jinmeng felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in her heart. What What are you doing? Xia Jinmeng heard the sound of the door closing. Bam! Xia Jinmeng couldnt help but shiver the moment she heard the door close. I want to talk to you. Lin Shanchu turned around slowly and smiled at Xia Jinmeng. She was like a gentle and harmless cat. However, Xia Jinmeng always had a feeling that Lin Shanchu would extend her sharp ws and bite her anytime. Lin Shanchu slowly walked toward her. Xia Jinmeng felt an invisible pressure attacking her. She couldnt help but take a few steps back. Thud! She had already retreated to the wall, so she ended up bumping into it. At this moment. There was a knock on the door. Bam! Bam! Bam! Is there anyone inside? Open the door! It was Yun Wus voice. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and sighed softly. When she looked up at Xia Jinmeng again, her eyes were full of regret. Lets talk next time. Lin Shanchu turned around and opened the door. She smiled at Yun Wu. Youre back. Before I came back, I specifically went to ss A to look for you. Ning Yunxi said youve already returned to the dorm. There were too many people in ss A, so Yun Wu decided to head to ss F just so she could teach everyone the dance. I thought youd returnte, so I didnt tell you. Lin Shanchu turned sideways to let Yun Wu into the dorm. Im getting tired, so I wanted to rest early Why is she here? Yun Wu turned around and saw Xia Jinmeng, who was standing stiffly against the wall. She seemed to be curious about our dormitory, so I invited her in for a chat. It was only after we chatted that we found out that we were schoolmates back in high school, Lin Shanchu nced at Xia Jinmeng while exining calmly. She didnt lie to Yun Wu. She was Tang Qidais ssmate in high school. Back then, Tang Qidai had two close friends who hung out with her all the time. However, it had been too long, not to mention there was no need for Lin Shanchu to remember this plot point, so she didnt remember that she and Xia Jinmeng used to be schoolmates. Thats quite a coincidence. Yunwus eyes swept back and forth between Xia Jinmeng and Lin Shanchu while looking slightly surprised. When Xia Jinmeng heard Lin Shanchu mention the word schoolmates, her face turned even uglier. She didnt say a word. Instead, she left in a hurry while keeping her head low. She walked very quickly as if she was afraid that Lin Shanchu would catch up with her. Yun Wu touched her face while looking very confused. Why did she run away quickly? Do I look that scary to her? Lin Shanchu nced at the spot where Xia Jinmeng had left. Maybe shes in a hurry to go back and rest. Oh. No longer suspecting anything, Yun Wu turned to grab her toiletries. Yun Wu. Lin Shanchu stood at the side and looked at her. Hmm? Ive forgotten to ask you before, but how did you know my high school exam results? I looked it up on the inte. Yun Wu seemed to be trying to increase the credibility of her words. Do you remember the first week when our phones werent confiscated yet? Yes. It sounded very reasonable. But The information on Lin Shanchu on the inte didnt include her high school exam results. That meant Yun Wu had looked up her information through other channels. As usual, there were people who received promotions and demotions during the theme song assessment for the ones in the two-day ss. Soon, it was the third day. Thest batch of students would be tested for their theme song. Ning Yunxis assessment was also today. As she was afraid, she was thest to go on stage. A good day to the instructors and everyone else. Im Ning Yunxi, a student from ss F. After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look in Lin Shanchus direction. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly before mouthing silently, If you dont want to go home and raise the pigs, then dance properly. Ning Yunxi shuddered and immediately turned back to focus on her performance. Thements wereughing at the interactions. [Haha! She turned back to look at Lin Shanchu as she spoke!] [I saw that! Lin Shanchu said, If you dont want to go home and raise the pigs, then dance properly.] [Ning Yunxi: I can feel my fear of Ms. Lin taking over me.] [Lin Shanchu: Warning! You might have to raise pigs again!] [Oh my god, Im totally loving both of them!] [The lilies of my hometown are definitely blooming all over the mountain and the field!] Ning Yunxi didnt let Lin Shanchu, who spent all night teaching her, down. She finished the theme song performance perfectly. Ning Yunxi, you must have put in a lot of effort these days so that you dont have to go home and feed the pigs. Xu An had a deep impression of Ning Yunxi. I was able to dance to the theme song perfectly thanks to Big Sister Lin Shanchus efforts, Ning Yunxi exined. Qin Shuyamented, I heard that Lin Shanchu was supposed to go to bed at eight oclock in the evening. She stayed up all night just to practice with you, didnt she? As she spoke, Qin Shuya looked at the member seating area. The camera also urately cut to Lin Shanchu. She was in the middle of yawning. She had stayed up a little too long with Ning Yunxist night. So, she was a little sleepy at the moment. She didnt pay attention to what the instructor said. When the camera suddenly cut to her, she was a little stunned. She was yawning halfway when she froze on the spot. When the other members saw this, they allughed. Huo Xunzhou, who was sitting next to the instructors, also put his hand to his lips to hide his smile.. Chapter 58 - 58: Are You Xia Jinmeng’s Dog? Chapter 58: Are You Xia Jinmengs Dog? Thements focused on Lin Shanchu. [Her dumbfounded look is quite cute.] [Lin Shanchu: Who am I? What are theyughing about? Are theyughing at me?] [Looks like shes really sleepy.] [Who else is to me for her drowsiness? She was the one who insisted on teaching Ning Yunxi. I dont know whats so cute about her.] [I dont understand why Lin Shanchu is attracting fans at all. The other members only like her so much because she has a rich fianc. Does she really think that shes very likable?] [Why are there so many haters in thement section? When Lin Shanchu performed well, they im that she was lucky. Shes popr among the members because of her rich fianc. They are all pretending to be blind.] [Thats right. There are always so many brainless people who criticize Lin Shanchu. Is she standing on someone elses path to sess or something?] Yun Wu whispered to Lin Shanchu to remind her of what Qin Shuya had just said. Huo Xunzhou passed the microphone over to her. When Lin Shanchu took the microphone and looked up at him, he had already lowered his head to read the script. Thements filled the screen. [Whats with this inexplicable sense of romance] [Why is someone bringing this up again? Youre just hurting her if youre matching her with anyone.] [Lets just get rid of that disgusting killjoy of a man. Please.] Lin Shanchu brought the microphone to her lips, her expression especially serious. I didnt want to teach Ning Yunxi, but she was so cute when she cried. She even called me Big Sister . Everyone was speechless. Thements wereughing at Lin Shanchu. [Hahaha! It turns out that even beautiful women cant resist cute girls!] [Lin Shanchu totally understands me!] After a short silence, the crowd burst intoughter. The extroverted members shouted at Lin Shanchu, Big Sister, am I cute? The members sitting around Lin Shanchu also came over. Big Sister, I can also cry very cutely. Can you teach me how to dance? Im here too, Big Sister! Big Sister Lin Shanchu gradually lost herself in the sweet calls of Big Sister. Of course! As long as I know what to do, Ill teach you as long as you need me Theizens spammed hahaha in thement section. [There are so many adorable little sisters referring to her as their big sister. Its hard to not get bewitched by them.] [Its time for the I dont Imow who to be envious of segment again.] [I didnt expect you to be like this, Lin Shanchu.] Ning Yunxis final rank was promoted from ss F to ss C. This was already a huge improvement for her since she had no foundation in dancing at all. The theme song assessment ended. Next up was thepetition for the central spot during the recording of the theme song. All members of ss A can participate in thepetition for the central spot. That spot will be decided by the members who have been with you all day! Im sure that after all the time youve spent together, each of you has a candidate in mind for the central spot. Everyone had one vote and could only vote for one person. Thements soon filled the screen. [Are we really letting the members vote?] [This must be fake! Lately, Lin Shanchu has been on the trending list frequently! Is the production crew trying to promote her?] [Its starting again. Lin Shanchu is capable of getting on the trending list on her own, and yet you guys im that the production crew is trying to promote her?] [Dont tell me people still believe that the voting system in talent shows is real and fair. Let me be the one to say this right here C Lin Shanchu will definitely take the central spot.] Lin Shanchu also had a vote. She wrote down Yun Wur s name without hesitation. Yun Wus overall strength was the strongest. Naturally, the central spot was hers. Soon, the vote-counting process was done. Huo Xunzhou got the final result. The person with the highest number of 56 votes in ss A is Yun Wu, the man said with a calm expression in front of the camera. Thements went wild. [I love the type of people who dont make you guess the final result!] [Yun Wu deserves the central spot!] [Who was the one saying that Lin Shanchu would definitely take the central spot?] [It seems theyre ying dead now!] Huo Xunzhou looked over at the members. Congrattions, Yun Wu. Thank you, Yun Wu said after grabbing the microphone. As long as Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wumunicated with each other, Lin Shanchu could not help but think of the rumors they had in the original novel. However, until now, Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu were looking at each other as if they were strangers. They didnt even make eye contact with each other, let alone produce sparks of romance. It could only be said that the plot was too outrageous. The production crew had plenty of time, and their schedule wasnt that tight. The recording of the theme song was set for the next afternoon. It was an outdoor recording too. In other words, Lin Shanchu could rest early today. Eight oclock that evening. She returned to the dormitory on time. She was the first to return, so there was no one else in the dormitory. She took her toiletries and went straight into the bathroom. Just as she removed her makeup, the bathroom door was pushed open from the outside. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Wen Tongtong and Xia Jinmeng entering the bathroom. As soon as Xia Jinmeng entered, she ordered Wen Tongtong right away, Lock the door! Wen Tongtong immediately did as she was told. The bathroom in the 12 -person dormitory was more spacious. But now that the three of them were inside, it seemed a little cramped. They came with ill intentions. However, Lin Shanchu acted as if she did not see them at all. She lowered her head and put her things into her bag one by one. However, when she grabbed the eyebrow trimmer, she turned her body slightly. From Xia Jinmengs and Wen Tongtongs points of view, they couldnt see if she had put the eyebrow trimmer into the bag or not. However, the two of them didnt care about such details at all. Hold her down! Xia Jinmeng urged Wen Tongtong with a cold expression. Wen Tongtong did as she was told. She then walked toward Lin Shanchu. Just as Wen Tongtong was very close to Lin Shanchu, thetter chose the right time to stick her foot out and trip Wen Tongtong over. You stupid pig! Cant you even walk? Xia Jinmeng was so angry that she cursed out loud, but her expression quickly changed soon. Lin Shanchu, what are you doing? Dont mess around! When Wen Tongtong fell to the ground, Lin Shanchu quickly crouched down and grabbed Wen Tongtongs neck tightly with one hand. Her other hand held the eyebrow trimmer and pressed it against Wen Tongtongs face. Lin Shanchu was used to using a small de to trim her eyebrows. She had bought a whole box before she joined the production crew. Coincidentally, she had just changed the de today. The de was pressed against Wen Tongtongs face. Beads of blood were already seeping out. Wen Tongtong recalled the way Lin Shanchu looked at her when she was instructed by Xia Jinmeng to let Lin Shanchu challenge for ss As spot in front of everyone. She was so scared that she started to tremble. Even her voice was quivering. Lin Shanchu, what what what are you doing? Lin Shanchus hand that was holding the de tightened. Are you Xia Jinmengs dog? she asked softly. Will you do whatever she asks you to do? Wen Tongtong was also a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Now that Lin Shanchu was holding a de and could cut her face at any time, she was naturally afraid of her. Jinmeng, save me! Jinmeng! She began to cry. Dont move. Lin Shanchus voice waszy, but there was a hint of impatience. Im not like you professional dancers who can control your strength. If the cut is too deep and ends up leaving a scar, you wont be able to survive in the entertainment industry anymore. Wen Tongtongs body stiffened instantly. She only dared to call Xia Jinmengs name softly. Jinmeng. Chapter 59 - 59: Crashed Due to Fear Chapter 59: Crashed Due to Fear Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Xia Jinmeng seemed to not have heard Wen Tongtongs cries for help. Instead, she stayed in ce without moving. She seemed to be lost in thought. No one knew what she was thinking. Jinmeng? Wen Tongtongs voice became more and more flustered. At this moment, Xia Jinmeng took out her phone from her pocket and sneered at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu, once I take a picture of you hurting people with a de, how long do you think you can keep unting? Lin Shanchu didnt even bat an eye at Xia Jinmengs threat. She turned her head slightly and looked at Wen Tongtong, who was already stunned. Wen Tongtong, when you were working so hard for Xia Jinmeng, have you ever thought that such a day woulde? Wen Tongtong looked at Xia Jinmeng in a daze before begging, No, Jinmeng I want to make my debut I dont want my face to be cut Xia Jinmeng sneered in return. Didnt you say that were good friends and that youll do anything for me? Wen Tongtong stared at Xia Jinmeng in disbelief. Are we really friends? Silly girl. Lin Shanchu gently leaned into Wen Tongtongs ear and whispered hypnotizingly, Of course not, shes just using you as her weapon. Wen Tongtong turned around and looked at Lin Shanchu in a daze. Lin Shanchu reached out to help her tuck her hair behind her ear. Her voice was very gentle as if the two of them had a very close rtionship. Think about it. Youve always been working for Xia Jinmeng. When has she ever helped you? Wen Tongtong recalled the past. Memories of the past shed through her mind. Xia Jinmeng was sick, so she bought medicine for Xia Jinmeng. When someone scolded Xia Jinmeng, she retorted immediately. When she was a trainee overseas, Xia Jinmeng was already getting paid, but she was still the one paying for the meals every time they went out. In her memory, Xia Jinmeng always looked for her because she needed her help. Whenever she needed Xia Jinmengs help, Xia Jinmeng would alwayse up with all sorts of excuses to avoid her. Xia Jinmeng waited for a long time, but Lin Shanchu still didnt cut Wen Tongtongs face. She started to get anxious. Wen Tongtong, why are you still listening to her nonsense at this time? she asked. Even if we cant take her unsavory pictures, as long as we can get a video of her hurting people with a de, we can still destroy her! Hurry up! Otherwise, itll be toote when the otherse back! Dont you hate her too? Wen Tongtong slowly turned her head and looked at Xia Jinmeng with resentment in her eyes. I dont hate Lin Shanchu. What? Xia Jinmeng didnt expect Wen Tongtong to change her mind at thest minute. What are you Wen Tongtongs shriek interrupted Xia Jinmeng. I hate Lin Shanchu because of you! You told me Lin Shanchu came to steal your limelight and your position in ss A, so I targeted her everywhere! Xia Jinmeng was originally recording a video. Hearing this, she looked up from her phone screen. What do you mean? Are you saying that you me me? Xia Jinmengs face was full of disdain. I didnt ask you to do all this. Youre the one whos targeting Lin Shanchu! Lin Shanchu noticed that Wen Tongtongs fists, which were hanging by her sides, were slowly balled together. It was time. Lin Shanchu slowly released the grip she had on Wen Tongtong. Are you even human? Wen Tongtong was so angry that she got up and pounced on Xia Jinmeng. The two of them started to fight. Wen Tongtong pulled Xia Jinmengs hair while scolding, You b*tch! Youre the f*cking b*tch! Youre like a damn pug who keeps sticking to me! I cant get rid of you even if I want to! Xia Jinmeng also wanted to pull Wen Tongtongs hair. It was a pity, though. Wen Tongtong had short hair. She was also stronger than Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng tried to grab Wen Tongtongs hair but failed. As the two of them tore at each other, the phone fell to the ground. Lin Shanchu picked up Xia Jinmengs phone and deleted the video that she had recorded of her pinning Wen Tongtong down. After that, she opened the mailbox and found a text message from Tang Qidai to Xia Jinmeng. [Do you know that Lin Shanchu has been on the trending list almost every day since she joined the production crew? Her poprity is extremely high. This poprity should have been yours. [You still have a chance if you can only make Lin Shanchu leave the production crew before the theme song is recorded. [Lin Shanchus debut spot should have been yours. Youre just taking back what belongs to you. [As long as we can photograph her nudes and post them, Lin Shanchus reputation will be ruined. She will have to leave the production crew by then. [This should be easy to do.] Tang Qidai was exactly the same as in the original novel. In fact, she was even more ruthless than the version in the original novel. Women knew that what-if scenarios could ruin other women. [As expected of the main female antagonist of the novel] The systems voice suddenly sounded. Lin Shanchu could vaguely hear a hint of appreciation from the systems mechanical voice. Theres no need to be envious, she said with a half-smile. I can do what Tang Qidai can do. The system was speechless. Lin Shanchu looked at Xia Jinmeng and Wen Tongtong, who were already fighting on the ground. You see, I know how to drive a wedge between people too. The system was silent for a full five seconds before it squeezed out five words. [As long as youre happy.] Lin Shanchu thought of something else. If I let Xia Jinmeng and Wen Tongtong take a picture of me, will I be rewarded? This useless system was as perverted as Lu Shiyuan. However, there was a difference between the two. Lu Shiyuan was a pervert, to begin with. The perverted thing about the trashy system was that it always made her carry out the tasks of receiving abuse from others. The systems tone suddenly became excited. Yes! Lin Shanchu sneered. What exactly is the value of keeping around a sick system like you? Wont people kill you for real? The system was so scared that it glitched out. It was useless, perverted, and cowardly. Even if no one wanted to kill the system, it would probably die on its own. Noticing its frightened state, Lin Shanchuughed at it mercilessly. Can systems really be killed? An rm sounded in Lin Shanchus mind. Then, the world fell silent. Lin Shanchu tried to call out to the system in her mind. However, the system did not respond. Did it crash? Wasnt it a little too useless? Lin Shanchu put the phone in her pocket. Xia Jinmeng and Wen Tongtongs hair and clothes were in a mess. They were no longer as beautiful and proper as they were in front of the camera. They were clearly two crazy women. This fight wasnt very pleasing to the eye. Lin Shanchu walked around them, opened the door, and walked out. After taking two steps, she turned back and stuck her head through the door to look at them. My roommates will be back soon. If you dont want to beughed at by others, you have to finish this quickly. Lin Shanchu even thoughtfully closed the door for them after that. Then, she left the dormitory and strolled out. The cameraman, who had been following her, was very excited to see her. Do you want to go to the training room? Nope. Then where are you going? The cameraman was a little disappointed. Lin Shanchu said in a serious tone, Im going to ask the boss some questions.. Why did everyone else start shooting product cement advertisements except for me? Chapter 60 - 60: Ruined Reputation Sooner or Later Chapter 60: Ruined Reputation Sooner or Later Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The cameraman was speechless. Could it be like this? This girl looked so weak, but she really dared to say anything! As Lin Shanchu walked, she let out a soft ah. Then, she stopped. Our boss should still be here, right? she asked the cameraman. The cameraman nodded. At this moment, the directors voice came from the cameramans earpiece. Dont follow her. Just treat it as leaving the audience a cliffhanger. Hence, the cameraman turned around and left. Thementers were puzzled. [Huh? Mr. Cameraman, why arent you following her anymore? I want to see how shes going to request a product cement ad from the boss!] [I seriously suspect that the production crew did this on purpose.] [Is this the confidence of Backer Lady? She actually went straight to the boss to ask for a product cement ad!] [Whats with the nickname Backer Lady?] [Cant vou even understand that? She has a fianc whos one of the shows sponsors.] [Now that you cant criticize Lin Shanchu, you can only me her fianc. Is it Lin Shanchus fault for having a rich fianc?] Lin Shanchu was the key element that could attract poprity for the production crew. Naturally, they paid close attention to her movements. Before she arrived at Nan Mus office, he had already received the news that she wasing over to request for a product cement advertisement. Therefore, when Lin Shanchu pushed the door open and came in, Nan Mu wore an expression that indicated he had been waiting for a long time. Youre here. Nan Mu then burst intoughter. What are youughing at? Lin Shanchu was confused. They said that you came to me for a product cement advertisement. Nan Mus smile faded as he motioned for her to sit. He turned around and poured her a ss of water. When Nan Mu turned back with the ss of water, he saw Lin Shanchu taking out a phone from her pocket and cing it on the table. Did you hide your phone? Nan Mu was shocked. Its not mine. Lin Shanchu found the text message that Tang Qidai had sent to Xia Jinmeng before handing the phone to Nan Mu. Hearing that it wasnt hers, Nan Mus expression rxed. What? Lin Shanchu lifted her chin slightly and motioned for him to see for himself. Nan Mus rxed expression suddenly became serious again. Who sent this message? Who do you think this message was sent to? Lin Shanchu asked instead of answering. Nan Mu looked at the message again. [This poprity should have been yours.] Xia Jinmeng? As the programs executive producer, he had a better impression of outstanding members. Xia Jinmeng was the most favored member of the production crew at first. Therefore, in the early stages, the production crew and Xia Jinmengspany also cooperated to give her some publicity. Even Nan Mu thought that Xia Jinmeng would definitely be the central member of the show. But before the show started, Lin Shanchu entered the venue. On the first day of joining the production crew, she was already on the trending list, her popritypletely crushing Xia Jinmeng. During the initial stage assessment, Yun Wu the master dancer appeared out of nowhere and crushed Xia Jinmeng in terms of strength. As a result, Xia Jinmeng, who had once been highly regarded by everyone, was demoted to ss B. Yes. Lin Shanchu nodded. Nan Mu sat down opposite her and continued to guess. The person who sent the text message knew Xia Jinmeng and hated you at the same time! Lin Shanchu continued to nod. m! Nan Mu mmed the table with his palm while eximing, Isnt that Tang Whats the name again? Tang Qidai, Lin Shanchu reminded. Right! Nan Mu had a strange look on his face. Jidai? As in umbilical cord? Why did her parents give her such a name? No wonder I cant remember her name. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Before she came into contact with Nan Mu, she had thought that he was the kind of person who was very powerful and had a strong aura. After all, he was the one who was able to unearth Huo Xunzhou, whose poprity was off the charts. Now that she had more contact with him, she realized that she had misunderstood Nan Mu. Sometimes, Nan Mu could be quite silly. Noticing Lin Shanchus speechless expression, Nan Mu quickly returned to the main topic. We cant take Tang Qidai down with just this text message. He didnt point out the more depressing fact. Tang Qidai had Lu Shiyuans support. A text message like this was not a threat to Tang Qidai at all. I know. Tang Qidai was the biggest female antagonist in the entire novel, so of course, she would not be defeated so easily. Nan mu said, Then what you mean is Doesnt everyone say that there are no secrets in this industry? There will always be people who know that Tang Qidai and Xia Jinmeng are friends! Just publish the message without revealing any names. People will naturally link it to Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai is used to being rude and unreasonable all these years. Naturally, she cant stand the slightest provocation. Its inevitable that shell enter the battlefield and do something to match the situation. When the timees, even if I cant defeat her, I can still coat her with stains, right? Sooner orter, her reputation will be ruined. Lin Shanchu finished her speech slowly. Her expression was as gentle and kind as usual. However, Nan Mus scalp was already numb just by listening to her. He had goosebumps all over his body. Once a woman became ruthless, there really was nothing left for a man to do. That makes sense. Ill get someone to do it immediately. Lin Shanchu nodded slightly and thanked him with a smile. Thank you, she said. When she smiled, her eyes curved upward brightly with child -like innocence. They were so clean that not a speck of dust could be seen. No one could associate her with the word scheming. Nan Mu quickly calmed down before bringing up the product cement advertisements. Actually, there were people who wanted you to advertise for them on the first day you joined the production crew, but I didnt ept their requests because those advertisements had worked with the Lu Corporation before. As he spoke, he paid attention to Lin Shanchus expression. He was a little worried that she would be dissatisfied with his arrangement. After all, he also had some selfish motives. He really hated Lu Shiyuan, so he wanted to avoid direct or indirect contact with him in business as much as possible. Lin Shanchu could more or less understand what Nan Mu was thinking. Sheughed and said, Youre my boss, so you make the call. Nan Mu let out a sigh of relief. But dont worry, Ive already contacted Capital City in terms of resources. Ill arrange something for youtest by the first public showdown. Theres no rush. Lin Shanchu looked indifferent. Nan Mu thought that Lin Shanchu did not believe him. When he sent Lin Shanchu out, he repeatedly promised Lin Shanchu that he would arrange for her to shoot a product cement advertisement. That enthusiastic look was very much like an employee who promised his boss that he would definitelyplete the key performance indicator at work. It was only after Lin Shanchu had walked far away that Nan Mu suddenly came back to his senses. He began to have doubts about himself. Who was the boss again? Creak The door of the lounge behind him opened at that moment. Xunzhou. Nan Mu turned around and continued, You know Lin Shanchu quite well. Shes just using the product cement advertisement as a cover and came to me for something else. Huo Xunzhou had been listening to their conversation from behind the lounge door. He roughly understood what had happened. He reached out to Nan Mu. Nan Mu handed the phone to him. When Huo Xunzhou was reading the message on the phone, Nan Muughed slyly while saying, Why did you hide when Lin Shanchu came just now? Did you do something to let her down? Huo Xunzhou, who had been scrolling through the inbox on the phone screen, suddenly paused in his actions. He raised his eyes and looked at Nan Mu coldly.. Do you want to find out? Chapter 61 - 61: Each One is Harder to Figure Out Than the Last Chapter 61: Each One is Harder to Figure Out Than the Last Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Nan Mu took two steps back silently out of survival instinct. After swallowing nervously, he shook his head and said with unusual determination, I dont want to. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and returned the phone to Nan Mu. Go do your work. All right. Nan Mu took the phone and quickly left to make arrangements for this matter. What kind of life was this? In his entire career as a manager, he had only managed two artists. One was Huo Xunzhou. The other was Lin Shanchu, who had just signed the contract so Nan Mu had yet to start working for her. Huo Xunzhou was the kind of person who could tell with one look that he was not to be trifled with. On the other hand, Lin Shanchus gentleness and kindness were written all over her face, but she chose to hide her lethal des in the darkness. In short, these two people were more difficult to figure out than the other. He finally understood why Huo Xunzhou had never been close to women before, and yet he suddenly treated Lin Shanchu so differently. The two of themplemented each other. However, Huo Xunzhous taste was really tricky. That night, the topic #Text Lin Shanchu went on the trending list. It happened to be a Friday night. The content of the message was so explosive as well. Moreover, Lin Shanchu had her own poprity. After this topic got on the trending list, it fermented very quickly. It didnt take long for it to reach the top of the entertainment list. Thements filled the section. [What the hell is this?] [As expected, popr people have their own problems. Can they find out who this is?] [The person who sent the message must be a woman. Most of the time, women are the ones being malicious to other women.] [What kind of unholy trending topic is this? Its terrifying.] [Everyone, pay attention to this sentence that says the poprity should have been yours. The ones who have been following My Stage closely should know who this is, right?] After thisment, someone immediately brought up Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmengs fans immediately came forward to refute the rumors. [Our Mengmeng isnt that popr. Dont drag her into this!] Lin Shanchu gained a lot of fans during this period of time. Since she had many haters as well, her fans were properly trained in verbalbat. Her fans quickly sorted out the most popr members of My Stage after Lin Shanchu joined. Among them, Xia Jinmeng had the most trending topics and publicity appearances. As soon as Lin Shanchus fans showed the evidence, Xia Jinmengs fans could no longer argue that Xia Jinmeng wasnt that popr. However, Xia Jinmengs fans wouldnt let anyone scold them like that. [Which celebrity doesnt do marketing at all? Besides, our Mengmeng never harmed Lin Shanchu!] [Thats right. If Mengmeng really did what was mentioned in the text message, would she still expose it?] [Xia Jinmeng is just an ordinary girl who works hard for her dream. Shes not that mean. The mean one is the person who sent her this message.] Just like that, everyones attention quickly shifted to the person who sent the text message. [The person who sent the text message may seem like theyre caring about Xia Jinmeng, but I think shes just trying to mess with Lin Shanchu.] [I think so too!] [So, the person who sent the text message must have a grudge against Lin Shanchu.] [Does Lin Shanchu have any enemies in this industry?] A few days ago, Tang Qidai instigated her fans to cyberbully a regr person, causing her haters to increase exponentially. Whenever they saw any trending articles rted to Tang Qidai, they would click on them to see if they could make a show out of Tang Qidais ws even more. When they entered, they saw that everyone was talking about Lin Shanchus potential enemies. Of course, they had to intervene quickly. [Isnt Tang Qidai the one who cant stand Lin Shanchus sess the most?] [Isnt Tang Qidai a good friend of Lin Shanchu?] [As if! Tang Qidai has been flirting with Lu Shiyuan all this time and doesnt care about Lin Shanchu at all. Besides, has Lin Shanchu ever admitted that they are good friends?] [That makes sense!] [If thats the case, is it possible that the incident of Lin Shanchu getting ndered by the entire inte is caused by] [I actually think that what you guys said makes sense. Its terrifying to think about it Tang Qidais anti-hater team patrolled the inte every day, so they quickly saw thements. Naturally, they wouldnt sit by and do nothing. They immediately joined the battle. [Youre just trying to spread rumors, right?] [Those who are evil on the inside will view everything as evil. Our Daidai is beautiful and kind. How dare you nder her!] [Its probably because they noticed our Daidais skyrocketing sess, so they want to do everything they can to bring her down!] [Dont worry. Even if all of your idols end up getting ruined, our Daidai will forever stay pristine.] Tang Qidais fans were famous for being unreasonable. The fans of a few of the members from My Stage who were on good terms with Lin Shanchu wanted to speak up for Lin Shanchu, but they also retreated in defeat. However, the passers-by couldnt tolerate Tang Qidais fans, so they directly confronted them. As a result, the topics poprity continued to rise. In the end,#Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai went on the trending list. Tang Qidai was having dinner with Lu Shiyuan when she received a call from her manager. Brother Shiyuan, I have to answer a call. Tang Qidai walked to the side before turning around to shoot a gentle smile at Lu Shiyuan. Then, she picked up the call. What is it? It wasnt easy for her to have a chance to dine with Lu Shiyuan, and yet she was interrupted by her managers call. Naturally, she sounded annoyed. Did you do something behind my back? The managers tone wasnt pleasant either. Tang Qidai suddenly recalled the time when she arranged for Xia Jinmeng to do something. She suddenly felt a little guilty and unconsciously raised her voice. What do you mean? What else can I do? Youve been watching me so closely. Dont you know that Ive been busy with jobs every day? The more she spoke, the more she felt that she made sense, so she turned the tables and scolded her manager instead. Are you questioning me? Im sorry. The manager also realized that she had been a little too impatient. Something happened on the inte. You and Lin Shanchu are on the trending list together. Tang Qidais tone became excited. What trending list? Did Xia Jinmeng seed? Ill send it to you. The manager hung up the phone and sent a screenshot of the trending list to Tang Qidai. Tang Qidais expression changed drastically when she saw the screenshot. How could this be? Xia Jinmeng had betrayed her! Xia Jinmeng, that b*tch, had betrayed her! Seeing that Tang Qidai had not returned after answering the call, Lu Shiyuan got up and went to look for her. Qidai. Brother Shiyuan. Tang Qidai turned around and bit her bottom lip. Im fine. Lets continue eating. Lu Shiyuans brows furrowed slightly. What exactly happened? Tang Qidais eyes reddened as tears flowed down her face. I didnt ask anyone to do anything that can hurt Shanshan Lu Shiyuan immediately took her phone. Tang Qidais phone was still showing the screenshot of the trending list. Lu Shiyuan first read the content of the message, then read thements that spected that the sender was Tang Qidai. His brows furrowed even more. These are just theizens wild guesses. Dont take them to heart. Tang Qidai looked like she wanted to say something, but she hesitated. But. Chapter 62 - 62: Visit Chapter 62: Visit Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Seeing Tang Qidais hesitation, Lu Shiyuan asked, Whats wrong? Brother Shiyuan, I still feel that this matter is a little strange. It suddenly became a trending topic without any evidence, not to mention its targeted at me Tang Qidai furrowed her brows. Moreover, Shan-Shan has always misunderstood me. She doesnt like me at all Her words were filled with hints. Lu Shiyuans expression turned serious. You mean to say that the text message was directed and acted out by Lin Shanchu just so she can frame you? No I was just guessing Tang Qidai denied nervously. Although I dont want to think of Shan Shan like this, she She only said half of the sentence and left the rest to Lu Shiyuan to think about. Shes done many things to frame you since she was young! Lu Shiyuan sneered. Youre too kind, so you dont want to think of her as a bad person. The truth is Lu Shiyuan recalled Lin Shanchus actions during this period of time and gritted his teeth. Shes just so cruel and unscrupulous! Tang Qidai was secretly overjoyed, but she still had to put on a kind and magnanimous look. Brother Shiyuan, dont say such things about Shanshan Ill handle this, Lu Shiyuan interrupted her. Tang Qidai noticed that he was a little impatient, so she didnt say anything. Lu Shiyuans style of doing things had always been simple and crude. He immediately let Zhou Yan remove the trending topic. As soon as this trending topic was removed, the core of the matter changed. While theizens were shocked, they also became more excited. [The trending topic got removed again! Which bigshot is behind this?] [Is it this hard to guess?] [Everyone just guessed that the person who sent the text message might be the female celebrity with a very sweet and sugary surname, and now the trending topic is gone. Go ahead and think about this information.] [Oh, I know. Its the disgusting killjoy from before.] [Im really slow on this, so Id like to ask whos the disgusting killjoy.] [Here you go. :link:] [Isnt this indirect proof that the person who sent the text message is a female celebrity with a very sweet surname?] [If youre talking about sweet surnames, does that mean the female celebritys surname is Tang, as in sugar? Tang Qidai? Can we not mention her name anymore?] Lu Shiyuan removed the trending topic. Not only did it not reduce the poprity of the matter. On the contrary, the topic fermented even more. Theizens who were watching the show changed the discussion area and continued to discuss this matter. No matter how influential Lu Shiyuan was, it was impossible for him to be in front of theputer all the time to deal with this matter. In the end, this matter was spread all over the inte. Seeing that things were not going well, the manager informed Tang Qidai that very night. The moment Tang Qidai arrived, she immediately threw a tantrum and questioned her manager. Isnt the trending topic already removed? How did it end up like this? In the past, things would be fine once the trending topic was removed. Why was it that this time, after the trending topic got removed, the incident ended up getting spread across the inte? The manager pondered for a moment. Maybe its because the protagonist of the incident is Lin Shanchu. This isnt the first time Im on the trending list with Lin Shanchu. You guys could always handle it well in the past, but apparently, you cant this time! Is it that hard to admit that youre useless? Tang Qidais hysterical shrieks made her face contort maliciously. A few assistants were still at the scene, so the manager felt humiliated as she listened to Tang Qidai scolding her. However, she could only suppress her temper and exined, Lin Shanchus current poprity and attention are no longer the same as before. Anything about her can attract a lot of attention. The previous method of removing the trending topic and suppressing the poprity has a very little effect right now. Shes only been on this show for a few days. How can she be popr? Tang Qidai did not care about her managers words at all. The manager knew that she could not get through to Tang Qidai. She might as well not say it. The manager took a few deep breaths topose herself. Isnt your new drama about to air? A lot ofizens have gone to your new dramas official Weibo to boycott it. The productionpany also contacted me just now, asking us to make a statement to save the situation. Otherwise, it will affect the ratings. You want me to make a statement? Tang Qidai said disdainfully. Does Brother Shiyuan know about this? Itd be great if President Lu can personally talk to the productionpany, the manager said with her eyes lowered. Tang Qidai choked on the words. All these years, she had Lu Shiyuan under her control. Naturally, she knew that it was best for her to not overdo it. Lu Shiyuan had just helped her remove another trending topic. If she were to ask him for help with such a small matter, he would definitely be annoyed. Brother Shiyuan is so busy. I dont want him to be troubled by such a small matter. Tang Qidai looked at her manager arrogantly. Tell me, how do you want me to make my statement? Visit Lin Shanchu at My Stage to prove that youre still good friends, the manager suggested. Im not Tang Qidai changed her mind, thinking that she could deal with Xia Jinmeng the b*tch at that time. What time? Tomorrow, but If you have something to say, just say it all at once, Tang Qidai said impatiently. The show is streamed all the time. You need to watch your words and actions to avoid any idents. You dont have to tell me twice. Of course, I know that! You nag too much! The manager was silent for a moment. Rest early. You still have work tomorrow. Lin Shanchu returned from Nan Mus office. Just as she walked to the dormitory door, she heard her roommates talking inside. What happened to the bathroom? Why are there so many things on the floor? Yeah, Lin Shanchu is nowhere to be seen. I heard that she went to the boss to ask for a product cement ad. Someone said that they saw Wen Tongtong and Xia Jinmeng leaving our dormitory. Yun Wu was the first to see Lin Shanchu. Youre back. Yeah. Lin Shanchu walked in with a smile. Her roommates asked her if she really went to the boss to ask for a product cement advertisement. Lin Shanchu said yes. After that, they asked her if she had seen Wen Tongtong and Xia Jinmeng in the dormitory. Im not too sure. I went straight to the boss when I came back. Lin Shanchus voice was gentle. No traces of lying could be found on her expression. There was a theme song recording the next afternoon. The members had been preparing since the morning. They got up early in the morning to change and put on makeup. Then, they boarded the bus to the location. Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu sat together. Ran Zhimo followed them and sat behind them. Ran Zhimo noticed that Wen Tongtong was in the same bus as them. She looked around and did not see Xia Jinmeng, so she reached out and poked Lin Shanchus shoulder. Whats wrong? Lin Shanchu turned around. Ran Zhimo pointed at Wen Tongtongs position and asked, Isnt she and Xia Jinmeng inseparable? Why didnt she board the bus in front of us where Xia Jinmeng is at? Oh, really? Lin Shanchu asked. Ning Yunxi, who was sitting in front, also turned around and joined the discussion while sounding mysterious. Dont you guys know? She lowered her voice slightly. What? Ran Zhimo asked. Ning Yunxi exined, I heard from Wen Tongtongs roommates that she had injuries on her face when she returned to the dormitoryst night. It looked like she was scratched. I heard that Xia Jinmengs face was also scratched. The member beside her also joined the discussion.. Chapter 63 - 63: Can ‘t You Work Harder? Chapter 63: Can t You Work Harder? Tranror: enacessrantasy I ranstauon ror: enatessrantasy I ranstauon As soon as this was said, the second half of the bus where Lin Shanchu sat fell into silence. After that, everyone had simr looks of understanding on their faces. Wen Tongtong had her eyes closed the whole time. But in fact, she was just pretending to be asleep. She could vaguely hear people on Lin Shanchus side discussing her and Xia Jinmeng. However, after listening for a long time, she only heard Lin Shanchu asking oh, really? in a nonchnt tone. The other people were mostly the ones talking. She had targeted Lin Shanchu before, so Lin Shanchu must have hated her. So, now that she officially had a fallout with Xia Jinmeng, shouldnt Lin Shanchu be even smugger? Soon, the other side quieted down. Wen Tongtong couldnt hold back her curiosity and turned to look at Lin Shanchu. She realized that everyone was looking at her except for Lin Shanchu. When those people met Wen Tongtongs gaze, they all turned their faces away in unison. On the contrary, Lin Shanchu, who had been looking out of the window just now, looked up at her. She shot her a signature gentle smile. Wen Tongtong felt a chill rise from the bottom of her feet that spread to her limbs and bones in an instant. She was so frightened that she hurriedly looked away. This Lin Shanchu woman was really strange! To be honest, Lin Shanchu did not cause her any substantial harm. Yesterday, Lin Shanchu had held a de to her face and only made a small cut. Now, it had healed. However, she just felt that Lin Shanchu was very scary. She clearly had an outrageously beautiful face and spoke gently, but when she met Lin Shanchus eyes, she could feel a sense of fear as if she was facing the abyss. After the production crew arrived at the recording location, they had to adjust the cameras and make some preparations for a long time. The members were warming up at the side. Xia Jinmeng took advantage of the chaos to look for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu! She stood behind Lin Shanchu and called her name in a low voice. Lin Shanchu turned around and nced at her, but she continued to warm up. Get a makeup artist to touch up your makeup. The injuries on your face are exposed. Xia Jinmeng hurriedly reached out to touch the injuries on her face. But she quickly remembered the purpose of her visit to Lin Shanchu. Wheres my phone? Tang Qidai had sent her a text message on the phone, so Lin Shanchu must have seen it. If Lin Shanchu were to publicize those messages, Tang Qidai would definitely not let her off the hook. Lin Shanchu didnt speak. Instead, she continued to warm up. Wheres my phone? Xia Jinmeng asked anxiously. Her voice was a little loud. It attracted Yun Wus attention. What are you shouting for? Yun Wu walked over and stood in front of Lin Shanchu, her face cold and arrogant. Xia Jinmengs anger was forcibly suppressed. Lin Shanchu was surrounded by weirdos. She didnt know where Yun Wu came from, but she seemed like a person that Xia Jinmeng couldnt afford to offend. Lin Shanchu held Yun Wus hand while speaking softly to her. Its fine. Ill talk to her for a bit. Oh. Yunwus tone softened, but before she left, she gave Xia Jinmeng a warning look. You want your phone? Lin Shanchu walked in front of Xia Jinmeng. Give it back to me, Xia Jinmeng said in a low voice. No. Lin Shanchu chuckled lightly. That word was unreasonable, but she was able to say it in a self-righteous manner. You Xia Jinmeng didnt expect Lin Shanchu, who looked like a major pushover, to be so unreasonable in private. Tell your master to get the phone herself, Lin Shanchu said lightly. What do you mean? Tang Qidai, duh? Lin Shanchu looked confused as she continued, Youd rather ruin your future just to help her. Isnt she your master? What the hell are you talking about? Xia Jinmeng felt that Lin Shanchu was sick in the head. Lin Shanchu looked at Xia Jinmeng and exined, Had you sessfully snapped my nudes yesterday and exposed them, do you think the public would still watch a talent show that cant protect the privacy and safety of the participating members? Xia Jinmengs expression changed slightly. She looked at Lin Shanchu in shock. Lin Shanchu continued to speak slowly. Tang Qidai certainly wont be at a disadvantage if the program is unsessful, but wont it be bad for you as well? How long has it been since youst went on stage? Since yourpany sent you to participate in this program, they must have high hopes for you, right? Even if youre not in ss A, youre still capable. You can definitely rely on your stage performance to attract fanster on. Even if you cant make a name for yourself in the end, you can still earn some poprity. Yourpany will still support you by then. If the program is ruined, then youll have nothing left. Xia Jinmengs expression turned darker with every sentence Lin Shanchu said. After all, every word that she said struck Xia Jinmeng in the heart perfectly. Lin Shanchu seemed to have thought of something. She widened her eyes as she continued seriously, But then again, you and Tang Qidai grew up together and are good friends. She should have already thought of a way out for you, right? Anger surfaced on Xia Jinmengs darkened expression. Lin Shanchus lips curved up slightly. Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan were both extremely selfish people. They were people who would do anything to achieve their goals. Naturally, Tang Qidai would never give Xia Jinmeng a way out. Lin Shanchu asked with a face of disbelief, Really? She didnt arrange a way out for you at all? Xia Jinmeng waspletely convinced by Lin Shanchu. She was currently in a fit of anger. After being provoked by Lin Shanchu, he immediately retorted, Arent you her good friend too? She stole your man, and yet you dont even dare to say anything to her! Lin Shanchu frowned slightly. Thats right. You guys are working together to mess with me. If you seed, she will be the wife of the Lu Corporations CEO in the future. When that timees, she will probably help you, right? These words made Xia Jinmeng so angry that she clenched her teeth. It was true that she and Tang Qidai were childhood friends. However, after Tang Qidai got together with Lu Shiyuan, she didnt pay much attention to her anymore. When she had just returned to the country, she looked for Tang Qidai, hoping that Tang Qidai could introduce some resources to her. In the end, she had to wait for an entire day before she could see Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai only said that she would think of a way. After that, there was no more news. The more Xia Jinmeng thought about it, the angrier she got. Tang Qidai the b*tch imed that everything was done for Xia Jinmengs own good, but in reality, she was just using her. Fortunately, she did not seedst night. Otherwise, it would all be over! Lin Shanchu understood Tang Qidais personality and knew that it was impossible for Tang Qidai to make any real friends. These people all had their own ulterior motives. Driving a wedge between all of them was an effortless task. Before Xia Jinmeng left, she said to Lin Shanchu in frustration, Cant you work harder? Lin Shanchu asked, Huh? Why did Xia Jinmeng ask her to work harder? She was already trying her best to drive a wedge between them, okay? Xia Jinmeng narrowed her eyes before replying coldly, Are you really going to let Tang Qidai snatch Lu Shiyuan away? If Xia Jinmeng couldnt lead a good life, shed make sure that Tang Qidai would never be the wife of the Lu Corporations CEO. Ah, youre talking about this. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and stared at Xia Jinmeng. Then, she suddenlyughed. Youre quite pretty yourself. You can snatch Lu Shiyuan from her, you know.. Chapter 64 - 64: Both Good Friend and Fiancé Are Here (1) Chapter 64: Both Good Friend and Fianc Are Here (1) Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Xia Jinmeng felt uneasy when she saw Lin Shanchu looking ather. What do you mean by that? Lin Shanchu suddenly took half a step forward. The two of them were so close that they could count each others eyshes. The inexplicable sense of oppression made Xia Jinmeng subconsciously want to step back. However, Lin Shanchu, who was already prepared, grabbed her. Lin Shanchu tilted her head. She whispered into Xia Jinmengs ear, I know what kind of woman Lu Shiyuan likes. I can help you. After she finished speaking, she stood up straight and smiled at Xia Jinmeng. Thetter then realized that Lin Shanchu had a pair of clear and bright eyes that resembled a cats. Lin Shanchu was really beautiful. When she smiled, she looked so radiant that even Xia Jinmeng, a fellow woman, couldnt take her eyes off her. Xia Jinmeng was stunned. Hmm? Lin Shanchu noticed that Xia Jinmeng didnt respond for a long time, so she reached out and waved in front of her. Isnt Lu Shiyuan your fianc? Xia Jinmeng suddenly came back to her senses. Youre actually willing to share him with others. Whats there to be reluctant about? Lin Shanchus eyes widened slightly while looking very sincere. It was natural for her to dispose of her trashy fianc. Do Xia Jinmengs expression became strange. Do you not like men? Huh? Lin Shanchu couldnt follow Xia Jinmengs train of thought. Xia Jinmengs expression became stranger. Im not interested in women. Lin Shanchu knew that Xia Jinmeng had urged Wen Tongtong to target her. However, Lin Shanchu had just praised her for her talent and beauty. Normal people would never be like this. Lin Shanchu was a little abnormal. I Lin Shanchu came to a realization. Now that she thought about it Lin Shanchu did not know anyone when she first joined the production crew. However, in a short half a month, she had be familiar with many students. Pretty girls were usually envied by others, so no one was willing to hang out with them. However, Lin Shanchu was different. She seemed to be good at getting along with girls. She especially liked hanging out with them as well. She was also particrly interested in that good-for-nothing Ning Yunxi. The more Xia Jinmeng thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right. Lin Shanchu liked women! Xia Jinmeng, you Hey! Dont go! Lin Shanchu still wanted to exin to Xia Jinmeng. However, Xia Jinmeng had already left in a panic. She seemed to be avoiding her like a snake. Then, she disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lin Shanchu felt veryplicated on the inside. Have you finished talking to her? Yun Wu walked over. Yes. Yun Wu saw Lin Shanchus serious expression and asked, Whats wrong? Did she bully you? No. Not only did Xia Jinmeng not bully her, but she was also scared away by her. The production crew paid a huge sum for the recording of the theme song. Even aerial filming had been arranged. Thements went crazy. [This show is way too much! Are those equipment for outdoor shooting the pinnacle of our countrys variety shows?] [Thats right! To think that such an exquisite stage will be dismantled after using it once!] [Im dizzy right now! All I see are beautiful girls!] [It feels like a consort selection! This must be the joy of an emperor who immerses himself in beautifuldies!] [The sense of immersion is too strong. Ive already started to choose my own concubine.] [Lin Shanchu is really too beautiful. I saw her at a nce. Lets make her an imperial consort!] [Pfft You old perverts are starting to choose their concubines. Arent you going to praise the beautiful girls for their amazing stage performance?] [Their performance was really good. They performed neatly and are in sync! All of them have clearly devoted efforts to this performance!] [I feel bad for Lin Shanchu. The man helped that pretentious woman remove the trending topic against night.] [Todays a great day for recording the theme song. Lets not talk about disgusting killjoys.] After the theme song was recorded, the members returned to the training camp. On the way back, the staff informed everyone that someone hade to the training camp to visit. They even deliberately pointed the camera at Lin Shanchu. A staff member asked, Lin Shanchu, youve been in the training camp for half a month. Whos the person you want to see the most? The production crew wasnt streaming at all when the members were heading to the shooting location. But they started streaming on the way back. Moreover, they even asked her such a question. Lin Shanchu suddenly understood the situation. No, she still replied honestly. The staff members were speechless. Her response shut down the conversation immediately. How was the crew supposed to continue the topic? Thements debated about Lin Shanchu. [Staff member: Why didnt you act along with me?] [Lin Shanchu: Lets be frank with each other. I was just acting as you.] [Haha! She shut down the conversation straight away!] [Lin Shanchu is so rude. Doesnt she know how to answer the question properly? She made the staff member feel awkward.] [You call this rude? Whats wrong with telling the truth about not wanting to meet anyone?] [No way. Did the disgusting killjoye here again? How unfortunate.] The staff members were professionally trained. The awkward atmosphere onlysted for two seconds before the staff member passed the microphone to the other members very naturally. It was dinnertime when they returned to the training camp. The members had been filming outside for the whole day, so they were hungry and tired. All of them rushed straight for the cafeteria. Yun Wu pulled Lin Shanchu into the cafeteria first. However, there were already people in the cafeteria. How could someone be earlier than me? Yun Wu the glutton was a little displeased. This didnt make sense. She was the first to rush into the cafeteria every day. Lin Shanchu looked around. She found that there were both men and women sitting in the cafeteria. They were neither members nor staff. Oh, they were visitors. The staff member had mentioned it before. The members came in one after another. Some of them screamed in joy when they saw their friends. Ahhh! Why are you here? I heard that someone was visiting the camp when I got back. I didnt expect you toe If someone came to visit, it meant that they missed the members. It was something to be happy about. However, while some people were happy, others were disappointed. Not everyone had friends who came to visit. Have you seen your friend? Lin Shanchu asked Yun Wu. My friends antisocial, so she probably wonte. What about you? Yun Wu pursed her lips. My good friend and fianc are both here. Lin Shanchus gaze fell on Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan who approached her. When the staff asked her that question on the way back, she knew that someone she knew must havee to visit her at work. She thought that Lu Shiyuan hade again. However, she did not expect Tang Qidai toe along. Lin Shanchu pondered for a while and understood the purpose of Tang Qidais trip. That text message did its job. Shanshan. Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan had already walked up to her. The former looked at Lin Shanchu with joy. Thementers were baffled. [Huh?] [Unfortunately, since Im rather uncultured, Ill just say one word C f*ck!] [Why are the disgusting killjoy and the pretentious woman here?] Since Tang Qidai came, her fans naturally followed. They immediately retorted in thement section. [Show some respect and stop calling Daidai pretentious! Shes just good friends with President Lu!] [Lin Shanchus fans are crazy. She didnt say anything at all. You guys, on the other hand, are the ones scolding her fianc and her good friend!] Tang Qidai looked Lin Shanchu up and down. Then, shemented while looking slightly distressed, Youve grown thinner. Lin Shanchu replied, Ive always been quite thin.. Chapter 65 - 65: Are You Very Nervous? Chapter 65: Are You Very Nervous? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Tang Qidai was stunned by Lin Shanchus words. Her expression started to darken instantly. However, there were so many people at the scene, not to mention it was a live broadcast as well. So, she could only endure it. Moreover, the purpose of her visit today was to prove that she and Lin Shanchu were still good friends. Thus, Tang Qidai smiled and continued, Youve been like this since you were young. Youre pretty and have a good figure. Thank you, Lin Shanchu replied. Tang Qidai was speechless. Thements: [Everyone, is it just me or what? I keep feeling that their conversation is a little weird.] [I think so too.] [Your intuition is right!] [In the past, when Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan were close, Lin Shanchu did not even say a word. Now, shes suddenly standing up for herself!] [Tang Qidai came to visit Lin Shanchu out of the kindness of her heart. How could Lin Shanchu say such things? She deserves to fail in life!] [She doesnt care about her good friends feelings at all. I used to be a passerby, but now Im going to be Lin Shanchus hater.] Tang Qidai was unable to wear that forced smile any longer. In the past, Lin Shanchu never dared to speak to her in this tone! Lin Shanchu was deliberately embarrassing her in front of the live broadcast! Tang Qidai felt that if she said another word to Lin Shanchu, she wouldnt be able to stop herself from hitting her. She took a deep breath and squeezed out a gentle smile. Then, she turned to look at Lu Shiyuan behind her. Brother Shiyuan, say hello to Shanshan. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Yun Wu. Im so hungry. Lets go get some food. Yun Wu couldnt stand being hungry at all. Yet, she had to be patient and listen to Tang Qidais nonsense with her. Tang Qidai was not worthy of such attention. Okay, okay! Yunwu nodded her head in a hurry. It was obvious that she was starving. When Tang Qidai turned around, Lin Shanchu was nowhere to be seen. Thements went wild. [I cant help butugh like a goose! Hahaha!] [Ahhh! Stay strong, prettydy! Pretentious woman and disgusting killjoy, get away from her!] [Im so pissed right now! How can Lin Shanchu treat our Daidai like this?] Since Tang Qidai was already here, she naturally had to put on a good show. She could only brace herself and go with Lu Shiyuan to get food. They got their food and went to Lin Shanchus table. Meanwhile, Yun Wu was busy eating. When she heard some movement on the other side, she looked up and saw Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai. She lowered her eyes and continued eating. Tang Qidai looked at Lin Shanchus te and said in a friendly tone, Youre still eating so little, At first nce, she seemed to know Lin Shanchu very well. Not as little as you, Lin Shanchu repliedzily. Lu Shiyuan, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldnt hold it in anymore. He mmed his chopsticks on the table, looked at Lin Shanchu, and said in a deep voice, Speak properly. Tang Qidai did get less food than me. Lin Shanchu raised her chin slightly and nced at Lu Shiyuan coldly. Cant you see with your own eyes? Thud! The drumstick that Yun Wu had just picked up fell back on her te. The members who were eating at the next table also quieted down. Everyone had heard a little about the love-hate rtionship between Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidai. Hence, after Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai sat down at Lin Shanchus table, everyone perked up their ears to listen to themotion. That was Lu Shiyuan, after all. Lin Shanchu retorted straight away without sparing his pride. Thementers were all shocked. [Lin Shanchu even dissed Lu Shiyuan! Im so shocked right now!] [This is my favorite verbal battle!] [Im so happy! The solution to dealing with disgusting killjoys like him is to not spare his pride at all!] [No wonder Lu Shiyuan doesnt like Lin Shanchu and wants to find another woman. Judging from her temper, itd be weird for a man to like her!] [Haha! If he doesnt like Lin Shanchu, he can just cancel the engagement. Two-timing men are all scumbags! A woman who knows that someone has a fiance and still pesters him is also a scumbag!] [Who are you scolding? How many times do I have to tell you that theyre just good friends?] [Good friends? Tang Qidais fans, Ive been tolerating you for a long time!] Thements started quarreling again. The director looked at the sudden increase in poprity and was so happy that he set up three cameras at Lin Shanchus table. The key element of poprity didnt disappoint him at all! Lin Shanchu was his goddess from now on. You Lu Shiyuan was about to say something but was stopped by Tang Qidai. Ive been on a diet recently, so Ive been eating less. Yeah, you do look a little chubby. Lin Shanchu sized Tang Qidai up. Tang Qidai was speechless. Thementers were allughing at her. [Hahahaha!] [It feels great watching that pretentious woman getting dissed! ] Yunwu looked at Tang Qidais pointy chin, then at the food that was piled high on her te. After thinking for a moment, Yun Wu asked Lin Shanchu, Should I also eat lesser? Lin Shanchu shook her head and smiled. No. Youre not fat. Oh. Yunwu was relieved and continued to eat. Tang Qidai was so mad that she took deep breaths to suppress her anger. She was obviously thinner than Yun Wu, but Lin Shanchu imed she was fat. Then, she turned around and reassured Yun Wu that she wasnt fat. Wasnt this clearly telling everyone that in Lin Shanchus heart, she was not even as good as Yun Wu? Yo. What brings you here, President Lu? Nan Mus voice came from behind him. Lin Shanchu turned around, but the first person she saw was not Nan Mu. It was Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was being pushed by the staff. His expression was calm, but he didnt look at her. Lu Shiyuan saw Lin Shanchu looking at Huo Xunzhou. His eyes darkened instantly. Im here to visit my fiance. His words were directed at Nan Mu, but his eyes were fixed on Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou nced at Lu Shiyuan indifferently. His gaze stopped on Lu Shiyuan for a moment. It was as if he didnt pay attention to him at all. This realization made Lu Shiyuan a little annoyed. We havent eaten yet either. Im a little hungry. Nan Mu turned to Huo Xunzhou. Why dont we eat here with President Lu? Yeah, Huo Xunzhou replied. Before Nan Mu went to get their food, he pushed Huo Xunzhou to the spot next to Lin Shanchu wisely. Lin Shanchu quietly turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. Why would he be here? Huo Xunzhou would onlye to the show when there was a stage performance to record. Sensing that Lin Shanchu was looking at him, Huo Xunzhou also looked up. Their eyes met in the air. Huo Xunzhou was born with a pair of beautiful and alluring eyes. When he looked at people attentively, he always made people feel like they were being watched affectionately. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and avoided his gaze. The two of them did not look at each other for a long time. The camera did not capture Lin Shanchus abnormality. On the other hand, Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai, who were opposite them, noticed the scene of Lin Shanchu dodging eye contact in embarrassment. Tang Qidai recalled how Lin Shanchu had apanied Huo Xunzhou to a party. She squinted her eyes and asked casually, Shanshan, are you nervous to see a handsome like Mr. Huo sitting next to you? In such a situation. Regardless of whether the answer was yes or no, Lin Shanchu would not get anything good out of it. Lin Shanchu raised her head and said calmly, Yes.. Chapter 66 - 66: As Her Older Brother, Shouldn I t I Be Concerned About My Younger Sister? Chapter 66: As Her Older Brother, Shouldn I t I Be Concerned About My Younger Sister? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchus answer made everyone at the table reveal different expressions. Lu Shiyuans darkened expression grew stormier. Tang Qidai secretly observed Lu Shiyuans expression and lowered her eyes to hide the joy in her eyes. Sh said in a joking tone, Shanshan, arent you afraid that Brother Shiyuan will be jealous? This Lin Shanchu was really stupid. These words wouldnt just anger Brother Shiyuan, Lin Shanchu would also get scolded by theizens. She said that she was nervous sitting next to another man while her fianc was right in front of her. It would be strange if she didnt get scolded. I didnt want to be nervous either. Lin Shanchu turned to look at the man beside her and said seriously, But hes Huo Xunzhou. Nan Mu, who had just returned from getting the food, happened to hear Lin Shanchus words. He was confused. He had only gone to get food, and yet Lin Shanchu had already confessed to Huo Xunzhou behind his back. The screen was flooded withments that said I didnt want to be nervous either, but hes Huo Xunzhou. [I can definitely be Lin Shanchus fan. Shes direct and doesnt hide anything at all.] [It turns out that the prettydy is also nervous in front of Huo Xunzhou.] [Nan Mus pupils are shaking! Hahaha!] [I didnt notice it just now. Now that Ive taken a closer look, the sight of Lu Shiyuan and Huo Xunzhou sitting together makes me realize that Lu Shiyuan is nothing.] [Ive be a fan of Lin Shanchus honest personality. She looks like a pampereddy, but her personality is really good. Shes not pretentious at all, making her so much better than certain women.] The atmosphere was strangely silent. Huo Xunzhou chuckled and replied calmly, Thank you. Lin Shanchu replied with a smile. Thements went ballistic. [Ahhh! Mr. Huo actuallyughed!] [Hes so perfect!] [Their eye contact! Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned! I want to ship them so badly!] [Hes a man who cant be surpassed even in a wheelchair!] [Lu Shiyuans face is turning green! Piss that scumbag off!] [I hope Lin Shanchu kicks Lu Shiyuan out of her life and gets together with Huo Xunzhou instead!] Lu Shiyuans tense face seemed to be covered in frost, making him look terrifyingly cold. The atmosphere at the dining table became tenser. Tang Qidai continued to add fuel to the fire. Mr. Huo is such a charming man. Its normal for Shanshan to be nervous, isnt it? Brother Shiyuan, Im sure you can understand, right? Im just a little nervous. Of course, he can understand the situation. After all, its normal for him to cuddle and hug his good friend. When Lin Shanchu said this, she looked straight at Tang Qidai. Lu Shiyuan had never concealed his affection toward Tang Qidai. There were many pictures of him hugging, cuddling, and interacting with her intimately on the inte. This was a well-known fact. Theizens who were watching the fun absolutely loved the drama. [The battle is getting interesting!] [Can you make Tang Qidai a regr guest? I want to watch something so exciting every day!] [Fight! Fight! Fight!] Tang Qidai noticed that the surroundings had quieted down. Everyone was looking in their direction. She did not expect Lin Shanchu to dare to say such things. The production crews staff had no intention of stopping Lin Shanchu. If she allowed Lin Shanchu to continue being crazy, it would not be easy for her to clean up the mess. Tang Qidais friendly expression was starting to crumble. She secretly tugged at the corner of Lu Shiyuans clothes under the table, asking him to help her. However, Lu Shiyuan did not even look at her. Brother She was about to call out to him when he suddenly spoke. Are you jealous, Shanshan? His eyes were fixed on Lin Shanchu. That nauseating feeling appeared again. It was apanied by a sense of pain. Lu Shiyuan was the male lead, so he naturally suppressed her. She could only clench her fists to suppress the difort in her body. Huo Xunzhou, who had been watching her in secret, noticed her abnormality immediately. President Lu, youre wrong. When Lin Shanchu heard the voice, she felt that her hand, which was ced under the table, was held by a big warm hand. The difort in her body gradually reduced. Seeing that Lin Shanchus expression had eased a little, Huo Xunzhous eyebrows rxed. I heard that Ms. Tang is good friends with you and Shanshan. Theres nothing between you and Ms. Tang, is there? Shanshan is not an unreasonable person. Why would she be jealous? Am I right, Shan-Shan? Huo Xunzhou turned around and looked at her with a serious expression on his handsome face. His serious expression made his words sound more ironic. Were Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidais rtionship innocent? Not even an idiot could believe that. On the side, Nan Mu had been trying to hold back hisughter. Meanwhile, Lin Shanchu was a little confused. Huo Xunzhou called her Shanshan It was apletely different feeling when he called her by her nicknamepared to when Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan used it on her. There was an irresistible sense of enchantment. As long as he opened his mouth, he could make people go through hell and high water for him. Yes, she mumbled. A hint of smile appeared in Huo Xunzhous eyes. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he almost snapped off the corner of the table. Dont worry about me and my fiance, Mr. Huo, Huo Xunzhous expression remained calm. My teacher passed away when I was young. Shanshan calls me her older brother, so as her older brother, shouldnt I be concerned about my younger sister? You sure know how to talk! Dont think I dont know What Huo Xunzhou was nning. Tang Qidai interrupted him. Brother Shiyuan, lets go get some fruits! There were many people waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Therefore, she couldnt iust watch Lu Shivuan get iealous because of Lin Shanchu. Lu Shiyuan had always granted Tang Qidais every request. He looked at Huo Xunzhou coldly before leaving to get some fruits with Tang Qidai. Thementers were getting excited. [Guys, what was that just now?] [Huo Xunzhou called Lin Shanchu Shanshan?] [Well, shes his teachers daughter, after all. He treats her like his younger sister, so its normal for him to refer to her in such a close manner.] [Did you guys notice the look on the disgusting killjoys face just now? He looked so scary as if he wanted to hit someone!] [ Lu Shiyuan looked so cruel! I think he has a tendency to resort to domestic abuse!] The conversation between Huo Xunzhou and Lu Shiyuan just now was very explosive. No one around them dared to speak. Should we pause the recording? Nan Mu asked Huo Xunzhou in a low voice. Huo Xunzhou shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need to stop recording. A feminine voice broke the silence. A girl in a traditional Chinese dress jogged over. Lin Shanchu looked over and eximed in surprise, Jiang Tang? Just like thest time they met, Jiang Tang wore a veil and did not show her face. Yun Wu suddenly leaped to her feet. Tangtang! Lin Shanchu asked, Is she your antisocial friend? Yup! A big smile appeared on Yun Wus face and she spread her arms in front of Jiang Tang. However, Jiang Tang ignored Yun Wu and ran toward Lin Shanchu instead. Lin Shanchu was confused. Isnt she Yun Wus friend? Yunwu was speechless. Who did that woman want to visit? Big Sister, youre my fan Jiang Tang was so excited that she was incoherent.. No, no, no! Im your fan! I even brought you a gift! Chapter 67 - 67: Grab Every Opportunity to Tear Down Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu Chapter 67: Grab Every Opportunity to Tear Down Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As Jiang Tang spoke, she excitedly took out a gift and handed it to Lin Shanchu. Afraid that Lin Shanchu would decline the gift, Jiang Tang added, I made it myself. Thank you, Lin Shanchu was a little ttered. Can we take a picture together? Jiang Tang held the phone and looked at her expectantly. All right, Lin Shanchu said. Wu, help me take a picture! Jiang Tang stuffed her phone into Yun Wus hands and ran to Lin Shanchus side. The corner of Yun Wus mouth twitched, but she still silently used the phone to help take pictures. Thements wereughing at Yun Wu. [Yun Wu: I cant believe Im the handyman!] [This is a story about my friend whos supposed to visit me but ends up bringing my other friend gifts.] After taking a picture with Lin Shanchu, Jiang Tang sat next to Yun Wu and talked to her in low tones. Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan came back with some fruits. She found Jiang Tang familiar, so she could not help but nce at her more. Jiang Tang nced at her indifferently before turning back to continue talking to Yun Wu in low tones. The fruits served in the cafeteria today were mangoes. Tang Qidai ced a small box of sliced mangoes in front of Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, have some fruits. As Lin Shanchus good friend, it wouldnt do Tang Qidai any harm by bringing her some fruits. However, just as she ced the sliced mangoes in front of Lin Shanchu, she realized that everyone except Lu Shiyuan was looking at her. The surrounding members also looked at her. Tang Qidai furrowed her brows. The atmosphere became very strange in an instant. Lin Shanchus half-smiling expression also puzzled her greatly. Daidai, everyone in the production crew knows that Lin Shanchu is allergic to mangoes. How could you not know that? The director immediately turned the camera to the person who spoke. Xia Jinmeng, who was sitting at the next table, stood up slowly. Her gaze toward Tang Qidai was cold. Tang Qidai had set her up first, so she couldnt me Xia Jinmeng for returning the favor. Thementers were getting more excited. [This is so funny. Why arent Tang Qidais fans defending their idol anymore? The so-called beautiful and kind Daidai doesnt know that her good friend is allergic to mangoes!] [Even Xia Jinmeng, who didnt have much contact with Lin Shanchu, knew about it. Yet, Tang Qidai has no idea.] [Let me tell you a joke. Tang Qidai and Lin Shanchu are good friends.] [Lu Shiyuan didnt even stop her. Doesnt he know that Lin Shanchu is allergic to mangoes?] [I dont think I can ship Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu together anymore] Tang Qidais fans did not know what to do, so they all shut up. Tang Qidai was flustered and wanted to ask Lu Shiyuan for help. Nan Mu decided to make everything more chaotic. Well, President Lu has no idea that Lin Shanchu is allergic to mangoes too, does he? Its normal for Ms. Tang to not know about Lin Shanchus mango allergy, then. As a long-term gossipmonger in the entertainment industry, Nan Mu knew that Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu had a lot of rtionship fans. His dear Xunzhou had finally developed feelings for a woman in his life. Hence, Nan Mu had to seize every opportunity to tear down Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchus rtionship. Its all right. Daidai gave me her favorite fruit out of good intentions. Lin Shanchu slowly pushed the box of fruits back to Tang Qidai. I appreciate her kind intentions. In the past, there would always be mangoes in the Lu residence. That was because Tang Qidai liked eating them. Tang Qidai knew that she had messed things up, so she quickly added, Im sorry, Shanshan. Brother Shiyuan and I have been too busy recently. We ended up forgetting about it Lu Shiyuan frowned and interrupted Tang Qidai. Dont bother continuing. After he finished speaking, he stood up and left. Tang Qidai stood up and wanted to chase after him, but Xia Jinmeng stopped her. Daidai, we havent seen each other for a long time. I miss you so much. Xia Jinmeng smiled and held Tang Qidais hand. Tang Qidai could not throw a tantrum in front of the camera. She pretended to be unfamiliar with Xia Jinmeng as she squeezed out a smile at her. The incident about the text message had not yet died down. Xia Jinmeng was deliberately getting close to her, obviously trying to drag her down. Seeing this, the manager quickly found an excuse to get Tang Qidai out of there. Thementers started talking about what just happened. [Why did Tang Qidai leave? Is she feeling guilty?] [Are Xia Jinmeng and Tang Qidai that close?] [Im terrified when I think about the text message that was exposed on Weibo.] [Suddenly, I feel that Lin Shanchu is a little pitiful] Tang Qidais fans took the opportunity to spam thement section. [Lin Shanchu has been dissing Tang Qidai the entire day like a rude shrew. How is she pitiful?] [Dont talk nonsense without evidence!] [Gossipmongers, get ready to receive letters from Daidaiswyer!] Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu brought Jiang Tang back to the dormitory. Jiang Tang looked around curiously. Your dormitory looks a little smaller than how it was shown in the stream. Yun Wu saw a big bag of things on her bed. She opened it out of curiosity and screamed. Ahhh! Mmph! Yun Wu started screaming when Lin Shanchu covered her mouth. Shh! If the staff finds out, theyll take them away again. Lin Shanchu had also seen the contents just now. It was a big bag of snacks. Tangtang, you still love me! Yun Wu pulled Jiang Tang into her arms. At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside. Lin Shanchu took two packets of snacks and threw them under the bed after a moments thought. Question marks filled the screen. [What is Lin Shanchu doing?] [Is she hiding snacks?] A staff member walked in. Yun Wu immediately stood in front of the bed, trying to cover the snacks. What are you guys doing? The staff member held back hisughter and took away the snacks that Yun Wu had just received. Yunwu chased that staff member all the way to the door pitifully. Cant you let me keep a pack of snacks? Is the production crew this ruthless? Jiang Tang was speechless. Lin Shanchu turned around and took out the snacks that she had hidden under the bed. Yun wu! Yun Wu was so touched that she was on the verge of tears. Youre my real sister from now on! Thementers wereughing at Yun Wu. [Boss Yuns cool and badass persona is no longer salvageable.] [How many girls have acknowledged Lin Shanchu as their biological sister?] [Lin Shanchu actually helped Yun Wu hide those snacks. Thats true love!] [Lin Shanchu and Yun Wus rtionship sounds great!] Jiang Tang located Lin Shanchus dressing table. Big Sister, why do you have less cosmetic items than Wu? Yunwu, who was eating her snacks, intervened. She has even fewer clothes. Shell wear one set of clothes with a spare set on hand. She has two more sets of pajamas too. Jiang Tang looked at Lin Shanchu in shock. Lu Shiyuan, that sc- He didnt even buy you any clothes? Lin Shanchu could tell that Jiang Tang originally wanted to say the word scumbag. Its because I found it troublesome, so I brought fewer clothes. In fact, she had never asked Lu Shiyuan for a single cent all these years. Of course, the money she had scammed him before was not counted. Jiang Tang and Tang Qidai had fought each other several times on Weibo, but Lu Shiyuan ended up removing the rted topics from the trending list. In her heart, Lu Shiyuan was purely a scumbag. But in front of the camera, Jiang Tang couldnt say things that were too harsh, so she could only diss Lu Shiyuan with vague words. Right Lu Shiyuan is so generous to his female friends. He bought jewelry and haute couture gowns for them, after all. I think hes even more generous to his own fiance. Lin Shanchu smiled without saying anything. Outside the door, the cameraman looked at Lu Shiyuans cold expression and awkwardly cleared his throat. Then, he called out, Lin Shanchu.. Chapter 68 - 68: You Aren ‘t Even Comparable to One of Huo Xunzhou’ s Fingers

Chapter 68: You Aren t Even Comparable to One of Huo Xunzhou?s Fingers

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion????? Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The camera cut to the door as the cameraman spoke. Lu Shiyuan was also in the frame. Jiang Tang was speechless. Thements filled the screen. [Hahahaha! Sugars expression is so funny!] [Oh no, will that disgusting killjoy get revenge on our Ginger?] Im going out for a bit. Lin Shanchu stood up. Good luck, Big Sister. Ive been voting for you. Jiang Tang was going to leave soon, so she said goodbye in advance. Thank you. Lin Shanchu couldnt help but pat Jiang Tang on the head. Jiang Tang happily touched her head and watched Lin Shanchu leave. Are you here to see me or Lin Shanchu? Yun Wu snorted coldly. Ill treat you to a big meal once you leave this ce, Jiang Tang said with a smile. Thats more like it, Yun Wu replied. The production crew arranged a room without cameras for Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu leaned against the wall and ncedzily at him from the corner of her eye. Have you found a way to deal with me? Thest time Lu Shiyuan left the production crew, he had said some harsh words. [Dont think that I cant do anything to you just because youre hiding in this production crew!] Lin Shanchu, must you really talk to me like this? Lu Shiyuan looked at her with aplicated expression. His tone was a little gentler than usual. Lin Shanchu looked down for a moment. Do you want me to speak to you in this tone? Her voice was soft and gentle, and her eyes were as gentle as amb. Lu Shiyuan looked at her. He was dazed for a moment. Hahaha! Lin Shanchu suddenlyughed out loud before she ridiculed him. In your dreams! Lu Shiyuan suddenly came back to his senses. You dont have to go to Nan Mu if you want to shoot a product cement ad, he said while clenching his jaw in order to tolerate Lin Shanchu. Ill arrange it for you. Nan Mu is my boss. Its natural for me to look for him. Lin Shanchu did not even look at him. The reason why Lu Shiyuans attitude toward her had changed so much was because of what had happened in the cafeteria earlier. The fact that she had an allergic reaction to mangoes had stirred up a tiny bit of his guilt. Therefore, he had to do something to calm his guilt. When this sense of guilt was appeased, he would return to his old ways. The nature of a demon would never change. He would never turn over a new leaf too. Destruction was his only fate. Im your fianc! Lu Shiyuan replied. Lin Shanchu retorted, But soon, you wont be. You Lu Shiyuan recalled what had happened in the cafeteria. You want to cancel our engagement for Huo Xunzhou? Lu Shiyuan had always been like this. No matter what happened, he would always think that others were the problematic ones. Yup. Huo Xunzhou had spoken up for her in front of the live broadcast camera, so she had already been dragged into it. There was no need for her to avoid it. Am I not as good as that cripple to you? Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he reached out to strangle her. Lin Shanchu also quickly raised her hand. Her slender and soft hand brushed across his arm. A sharp pain red from that arm immediately. Fresh blood dripped onto the ground. Bloodstains soon formed. Lu Shiyuan stared at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. You Lin Shanchu slowly wiped the de in her hand while speaking in a contemptuous tone. You arent evenparable to one of Huo Xunzhous fingers. The door was pushed open at that moment. Huo Xunzhou and two more people were standing at the door. Nan Mu put a hand to his lips, trying to hold back hisughter. Li MO, who was standing behind Huo Xunzhou, had a stiff expression on his face as he blinked rapidly. As for Huo Xunzhou himself, his expression was still so indifferent that no one could tell what he was feeling. They seemed to have heard everything. Lin Shanchu quickly put away the de and pretended to be calm as she shot them a smile. As long as she wasnt embarrassed They would be the embarrassed ones! Nan Mus face was cramping up from trying to hold back hisughter. Ahem! President Lu, what happened to your arm? The surprise in Nan Mus voice was genuine. When they came in just now, Lin Shanchu had put away her de very quickly, so Nan Mu did not see it. Lu Shiyuan ignored him and walked straight to Huo Xunzhou. We dont know who will win until the end! If thats the case, President Lu, you must hold on until the end. Huo Xunzhous calm tone was full of arrogance. It was exactly the same as the contemptuous tone Lin Shanchu had used when she spoke to Lu Shiyuan earlier. Just you wait and see! Lu Shiyuanughed in anger. Nan Mu quickly chased after him. President Lu, your wound is bleeding! Ill take you to the hospital! Big Brother, Ill help Nan Mu take Lu Shiyuan to the hospital. Li MO hurriedly ran away. He didnt forget to close the door for the remaining two people before he left. Lin Shanchus hand clenched the de tightly in her pocket. Why are you here today? Im here to visit you, Shanshan. The smile lingered in his throat, mixing with his maic voice to make it sound like he was teasing her. Coupled with that charming face, Huo Xunzhou really had the look of a yboy. Lin Shanchu was amused by his antics. Brother Xunzhou, how would you like me to thank you for this time? Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly and rested his arm on the armrest of his wheelchair. He held his forehead while saying with a faint smile, Youve improved. This girl had always thanked him verbally. This time, she knew to ask him. Lin Shanchus smile faded as she waited for his answer. Ill think about it, Huo Xunzhou said after a moment of thought. The lively atmosphere gradually became tranquil. Mr. Huo, why are you getting yourself involved in this? Lin Shanchu asked. Even without you, Lu Shiyuan and I would have turned against each other sooner orter. With a simple sentence, Lin Shanchu waspletely removed from the picture. In a sense, our goal is the same, he quickly added. Lin Shanchu felt that these words were a little familiar. Soon, she remembered. Not long ago, Huo Xunzhou had said something simr to her. [You want to take revenge on Lu Shiyuan, I want to do business. Our goals are different.] Lin Shanchu walked in front of Huo Xunzhou. She looked straight into Huo Xunzhous eyes and tried to read his emotions. That wasnt what you saidst time. Thats because I didnt know that you admired me so much, Ms. Lin, Huo Xunzhou said seriously. Lin Shanchu was speechless. So, he had heard what she had said to Lu Shiyuan. Men are always more tolerant towards their admirers. The girls deted look was lively and interesting, so he couldnt help but want to tease her. It was the same when Nan Mu said Lu Shiyuan was here again. He couldnt help but follow him to where Lin Shanchu was. After that, in the cafeteria, he couldnt help but speak up for her. Every time it was rted to Lin Shanchu, his principles would always give in uncontrobly. Lin Shanchu really did not expect this. Huo Xunzhou, who had always been so prideful, actually had such a shameless moment. But that was not what made her angry. She was angry because she couldnt win him in an argument. Lin Shanchu snorted in anger. I really admire you, Mr. Huo. I hope you can help me cancel my engagement with Lu Shiyuan as soon as possible! Thats not what you said when you asked me for help thest time. Huh? Chapter 69 - 69: Sharp Blade Unsheathed, A Gentle Slash Was Delivered Chapter 69: Sharp de Unsheathed, A Gentle sh Was Delivered Lin Shanchu carefully recalled her memories. Thest time she asked Huo Xunzhou for help was after she burned down Lu Shiyuans house. Back then, she had asked Huo Xunzhou to take her in. At that time, she had called him Brother Xunzhou after making mental preparations to get rejected by him. Did Huo Xunzhou mean to let her call him Brother Xunzhou again? She really couldnt tell that Huo Xunzhou, who usually looked so cold, loved to be someone elses older brother. Huo Xunzhou was still staring at her intently. He seemed to be looking forward to it. Lin Shanchus heart skipped a beat. She turned her face away ufortably. She was unable to say the words Brother Xunzhou. It was as if those words burned her mouth. She only wanted to escape. It was probably because Lu Shiyuan wasnt around that her female lead halo produced a weak effect. Huo Xunzhous phone rang at that moment. When he looked down at his phone, Lin Shanchu took the opportunity to flee. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared out of the door. Huo Xunzhou turned around and saw the door mmed shut. He paused for two seconds before curling the corners of his lips slowly. When he looked back at the phone screen, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, and his eyes became serious. That night. Lin Shanchu was on the trending list again. #Huo Xunzhou called Lin Shanchu Shanshan #Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai visit Lin Shanchu on set #Xia Jinmeng and Tang Qidai are friends #Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai didnt know that Lin Shanchu is allergic to mangoes #The Lu and Lin couple The director of the production crew was in a veryplicated mood. Today was the day of recording the theme song, but the discussion on the theme song was very low. Instead, everyone focused their attention on the dinner and visit segments. To put it bluntly The poprity was all on Lin Shanchu. The director was a little moody. Was he not good enough? He called Nan Mu that very night. President Nan, was I not good enough? Nan Mu consoled him. Our show has only been going on for less than a month, but Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidais love-hate rtionship has been going on for so many years. Isnt it normal for the audience to like to watch the drama between them? That makes sense, the director said after some thought. Nan Mu was about to hang up when the director called out to him hesitantly. President Nan. Yes So, does Lu Shiyuan like Lin Shanchu or Tang Qidai? Nan Mu was speechless. It was indeed human nature to watch dramas that involved fighting and tearing each other down. In Tang Qidais apartment. The manager opened the door and entered. Our team hasmunicated with the production team. They have unanimously decided to dy the broadcast of your new drama. Naturally, Tang Qidai did not agree with that decision. Her expression darkened immediately. No! Its been half a year since Ist released a new drama! Her own poprity would be affected if the new drama she participated in wouldnt be aired for a long time. The managers expression was cold. So, you also Imow that a new drama involving you hasnt aired for the past half a year. Then why did you provoke Lin Shanchu when you visited My Stage today? I Tang Qidai subconsciously wanted to retort. However, when she thought of the scene when visiting the set earlier, she couldnt say anything to refute it. She didnt know that Lin Shanchu the b*tch hadpletely transformed into a different person. She even dared to say anything in front of the live broadcast camera. Seeing that Tang Qidai had stopped talking, the manager thought that she had realized her mistake. Her tone also softened. Although the visit today has affected you a little, its only for a short period of time. You should behave yourself during this period of time. When the incident has passed, the new drama will be released. I know! She never thought that one day, her new drama would be dyed because of Lin Shanchu. The manager continued to instruct her. Also, about President Lu.. Im going to bed! Tang Qidai interrupted her manager impatiently. When she left the production crew of My Stage, Lu Shiyuans car was still parked outside. She called Lu Shiyuan, but he didnt pick up. Although she didnt want to admit it, she knew very well that Lu Shiyuan must have gone to look for Lin Shanchu. Lu Shiyuan was always soft-hearted towards that b*tch Lin Shanchu. But she would not admit defeat like this. The position of the wife of the Lu Corporations CEO could only be hers! The manager continued patiently, Dont post anything on Weibo for the next two days. Manyizens are scolding you in thements. All right, all right! I know! Tang Qidai immediately turned around and entered the bedroom, mming the door shut. The manager looked at the tightly shut door and frowned. Daidai, Ill take my leave first. She waited for a while, but there was no response from the bedroom. She then turned around and left. The production crew was very nice. Everyone was given a day off the day after the recording of the theme song. Even if it was a holiday, they couldnt leave the training camp. There were no training tasks. Instead, the production crew had made other arrangements. One of the segments was to randomly selectments fromizens and respond to them. Everyone sat together as the host randomly selected students to stand up and respond to thements rted to them. There were both positive and negativements. However, the production crew decided to spare the members the humiliation. The negativements would normally stop at do you think youll get kicked out after one round?. However, when it came to Lin Shanchu, the negativity went from 1 to 100 in an instant. When the host drew thement, he was also stunned. However, he quickly recovered and read the content out loud. Even someone like Lin Shanchu can get an A! This show is hopeless! Why dont you change the name to The Show Sponsored By My Fianc? When the host read thement, the camera directly cut to Lin Shanchu. Thementers started discussing with each other excitedly. [Holy sh*t! The production crew is really bent on causing drama!] [Shock was written all over the hosts face when he drew thement earlier!] [The production crew is too ruthless!] [Whats so ruthless about this? Isnt that the truth? Lin Shanchu is Backer Lady, after all!] [Lin Shanchu: Im going to fight back now.] The host was done reading thement out loud. A wave of surprised gasps and low-pitched discussions could be hearding from the members seating area. Lin Shanchu, do you have anything to say to thisment? Everyones eyes were focused on Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu took the microphone from a member who had previously answered a question. She nced at the director, who stood not far away. The director pulled his hat over his face and pretended that he didnt exist. To think that hed pretend to not exist after causing such drama Heh! Lin Shanchu looked up and smiled calmly at the camera. Thisizen is right about one thing. My fianc has indeed sponsored My Stage. Everyone knows that he loves to sponsor other peoples stages. Everyone also knows that Im not his favorite person to sponsor. Every word in her gentle voice was sharp. The sharp de was unsheathed, and a gentle sh was delivered. She didnt mention a word about Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai, but every word she said was a scolding to them. Pfft! Yun Wu, who was standing beside her, couldnt help butugh. However, she didnt have a microphone, so herughter didnte out. Then again, she was close to Lin Shanchu, so she still ended up in the same frame as her. At this moment, the screen was flooded with numerousments that said holy sh*t Chapter 70 - 70: I Saw Everything Chapter 70: I Saw Everything Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion????? Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The other members all revealed shocked expressions. Lin Shanchus words made Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidais rtionship very clear. There were also some members who wanted tough like Yun Wu, but they were afraid of Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan. They could only look around in order to hide theirughter. The atmosphere became a little strange. Thements went wild. [Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai: You might as well say our names.] [This is so exciting! Lin Shanchu is finally fighting the disgusting killjoy and the pretentious woman head -on!] [The quote Everyone knows Im not his favorite person to sponsor is legendary! Hahahaha!] [This woman seems to have stolen Yun Wus badass persona. How did she manage to be so gentle and cool at the same time?] [Yu Weixins expression is killing me!] Yu Weixin was the host for today. When he finished reading thement, he was worried for Lin Shanchu. The production crew was really inhumane. Thatment was really tricky. No matter what angle Lin Shanchu took if she were to exin herself, it wouldnt be able to benefit her in any way. In the end, Lin Shanchu did not even bother to defend herself. Instead, she stabbed both Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai. Only then did Yu Weixin realize that his previous worries had beenpletely unnecessary. He should be more worried about himself. He still had to stay in the entertainment industry in the future. Lu Shiyuan was the capitalist of the industry, so it was inevitable for Yu Weixin to meet him. If he didnt smooth things over, he would offend Lu Shiyuan. The pained expression Yu Weixin wore was unable to be concealed by any mask in the world. Lin Shanchu knew Yu Weixin. He was a host who had just emerged in the past two years. He was starting to be popr. Not only was he skilled, but he was also quite good-looking. When Yu Weixin was mentioned in the second half of the original novel, he was already a great host who could take charge of everything. ording to the original novel, Yu Weixins future was boundless. However, he was still young and inexperienced. Lin Shanchus earlier words did make it difficult for Yu Weixin, so she decided to give him a way out. Didnt my fianc also sponsor your show in the past, Mr. Yu? Yu Weixin heaved a sigh of relief. He gave Lin Shanchu a grateful look and took the way out. Yes, my previous show was also sponsored by President Lu. He continued, Lets read the nextment The topic was over. However, theizens who had heard the news had just arrived at the scene. The number of viewers andments reached the peak of this live broadcast. The director looked at the real-time data and smiled with relief. One could always believe in Lin Shanchu when it came to this show! She was an amazing key element of poprity! Lin Shanchu was this shows goddess! The director called over a staff member. Hurry up and edit out the video of the host and Lin Shanchus Q and A session. The live broadcast schedule arranged by the production crew ended in the evening. Everyone was free to spend their time however they wanted at night. When they were about to disband, Lin Shanchu noticed that Yun Wu kept looking at the clock on the wall. Whats wrong? Lin Shanchu asked in a low voice. Its almost time, Yun Wu said with a serious expression. Lin Shanchu was confused. As soon as the director announced the dismissal, Yun Wu pulled Lin Shanchu and ran quickly to the cafeteria. Lets go! Its time to eat! Lin Shanchu was speechless. She should have thought of this earlier. To Yun Wu, everything else was irrelevant other than eating and dancing. She had been too careless. Lin Shanchu! She had only run two steps when she heard someone calling her. Lin Shanchu stopped. Yu Weixin jogged over. Are you guys preupied with an urgent matter? Yeah. Lin Shanchu nodded. Before she joined the production crew, she had a normal appetite. However, after joining the production crew, her appetite improved probably due to Yun Wus influence. She also felt that eating was the most important thing. Then you guys go ahead, Yu Weixin said with a smile. Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu were the first ones to arrive at the cafeteria. The cafeterias servingdy had just filled up the piping hot dishes. The two of them were the first to rush into the cafeteria for every meal, so it was hard for thedy to not remember them. Youre here. The servingdy greeted them with familiarity. The cafeteria had braised drumsticks today. Thedy knew Yun Wus appetite very well, so she gave her three drumsticks in one go. Yun Wu blinked her eyes while acting cute. One more drumstick, please. Come again after youre done, the servingdy said in an impartial manner. Yun Wu shuffled forward slowly. Lin Shanchu carried the te and followed behind her. When thedy saw Lin Shanchu, she immediately shot her a motherly smile. Ive made braised drumsticks today. Theyre super delicious. Do you want another one? Yun Wu quickly leaped backward like a rabbit. She cant eat that much, Madam! Please give it to me! The servingdy still looked at Lin Shanchu affectionately. This girl was so pretty. She was gentle, well-behaved, and polite. She was especially adorable when she smiled. It was just that she was too skinny. She had to eat more. Lin Shanchu extended the te forward. Madam, can you give me two more drumsticks? Okay! The servingdy was extremely happy as she added two drumsticks to Lin Shanchus te quickly. It was as if she was afraid that thetter would go back on her word. The two returned to the dining table and sat down. Lin Shanchu gave Yun Wu the two extra drumsticks that the servingdy had just given her. Yun Wu tilted her head while looking at Lin Shanchu with a puzzled expression. Why arent you eating? Lin Shanchu asked her. I cant figure it out, said Yun Wu. Lin Shanchu replied, Huh? Im obviously more obedient than you, but why was the servingdy more willing to give you extra drumsticks instead of me? Yun Wu asked. Lin Shanchu raised an eyebrow. Im also very obedient. Yun Wu cast her a look that clearly meant yeah, keep acting. I saw everything, she said. Lin Shanchus hand that held the chopsticks froze in mid-action. What did you Yun Wu leaned forward. Lu Shiyuan came to visit you just now. When you came back from seeing him, the de you took out from your pocket was stained with blood. She lowered her voice and added, You werent injured as well. Hence, the blood on the de could only belong to Lu Shiyuan. So? There was no panic present on Lin Shanchus face despite getting exposed. There was only the indifference of not being involved. It was as if everything had nothing to do with her. Yun Wu was stunned. She got along well with Lin Shanchu during this period of time. She could vaguely feel that Lin Shanchu was not as weak as she looked on the surface. However, she did not expect that Lin Shanchu, who had torn off the mask of gentleness, was so indifferent to the point that she was mentally sick. She was dead on the inside. There was no vitality at all. The girl opposite her was still staring at her nkly, unable to say a word. Lin Shanchu was very patient, so she didnt rush Yun Wu. Then, she slowly ate two mouthfuls of food. Yun Wu, who sat across from her, didnt speak again, nor did she move her chopsticks to continue eating. However, Yun Wu was a person who loved to eat so much. Clearly, she was frightened by Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu looked down, thus covering the self-deprecating look in the depths of her eyes. She had never asked about Yun Wus family background. However, Yun Wus confidence showed that her family background must be prominent. Yun Wu may look cold and indifferent, but she was actually kind and well-protected by her family. A princess like her must have never seen a devil that was covered in filthy mud like Lin Shanchu. It was normal for Yun Wu to be afraid. Wasnt it? Chapter 71 - 71: But She, Lin Shanchu, Didn’t Agree With Their Decision Chapter 71: But She, Lin Shanchu, Didnt Agree With Their Decision Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion?????? Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Friends were a luxury. She never had one before. Perhaps, no matter how hard Lin Shanchu tried, she would not be able to escape the fate of being the female lead of a sadistic novel. Even if she had received warmth for a short period of time, she would eventually be abandoned. She would be forever alone without receiving help from others. She would remain solitary for the rest of her life. She should ept all of this. Lin Shanchu ate slowly. Her gentle and calm appearance made Yun Wu feel frightened for no reason. She felt that she should say something. Lin Lin Shanchu! Yu Weixin suddenly appeared with a te. He ended up interrupting Yun Wus words. Are you done with your urgent matter? Lin Shanchu swallowed her food and said unhurriedly, Im working on it. Yu Weixin was speechless. So the urgent matter she was talking about was eating? Do you mind if I sit here? Yu Weixin asked politely. Lin Shanchu looked at Yun Wu opposite her without saying a word. Yun Wu immediately understood and replied hurriedly, I dont mind! Yu Weixin sat down next to Lin Shanchu. Thank you for what happened before. Lin Shanchu knew that Yu Weiwei was talking about how she had given him a way out during the live broadcast. Youre wee. Lin Shanchu did not even look up. Since she was in a bad mood, her tone was lower than usual, and she seemed awfully cold. Yu Weixin wanted to continue the conversation, but he stopped tactfully. Lin Shanchu finished eating first. She returned her te and left the cafeteria. When Yu Weixin saw Yun Wu staring at Lin Shanchus back with a disappointed look on her face, he asked with a smile, Did you and Lin Shanchu have a fight? Every time he appeared on a show, he would do a lot of preparation work. That was why he knew that Lin Shanchu had a good rtionship with Yun Wu. Nope. After Yun Wu denied it expressionlessly, she lowered her head and started shoveling food into her mouth. She ran back to the dormitory after she was done eating. However, when she returned to the dormitory, she did not see Lin Shanchu. Where did Lin Shanchu go? Lin Shanchu went to find the director of the production crew. The director was arranging work tasks for the background staff. When he saw Lin Shanchuing from afar, he turned around and wanted to escape. However, Lin Shanchu was able to block him after taking a shortcut. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and blocked his way without any expression on her face. Have you finished eating? The directorughed dryly, already feeling guilty. Did you set up thement segment? Lin Shanchu went straight to the point. The directors face stiffened. Yes Are you satisfied with my answer? Lin Shanchu asked again. Of course! Its gone on the trending list again The director nodded his head excitedly, but when he saw Lin Shanchus cold eyes, he subconsciously kept quiet. The director felt ridiculous upon realizing that he got suppressed by Lin Shanchus gaze to the point that he didnt dare to speak. She was just a young woman in her early 20s. She was extremely gentle when she stood there quietly, but she had a very strong aura. Once her emotionless eyes swept over the directors form, he could feel a strong sense of oppressioning from her. Is it on the trending list now? Lin Shanchus eyes fell on the phone in the directors hand. Y-Yeah What are you doing? The director looked at her with a guarded expression. Let me look at it, Lin Shanchu said honestly. The members arent allowed to use their phones to surf the during their time at the training camp, the director said righteously. Oh, Lin Shanchu replied. The director thought that Lin Shanchu had given up. He turned around and prepared to leave. He had only taken two steps when his phone was snatched away. You When the director turned around, Lin Shanchu was in the midst of putting the phone in her pocket. The director lowered his voice as he was worried that there were other staff members nearby. Lin Shanchu, how could you snatch my phone? Lin Shanchus eyes widened, her pure and wless face filled with innocence. I found it on the ground. The director was astonished. Today, he had finally experienced what it meant to lie through ones teeth. There were cameras everywhere in the house. With the exception of the toilet. Lin Shanchu went to the public washroom of the training rooms. She sat on the toilet bowl while sliding a fair and slender finger across the phone screen slowly. The topic #1m not his favorite sponsor was currently trending. Theizens posted all kinds ofments in thement section. [Remove the word sponsor and this sentence is still valid.] [Remove the word sponsor? Im not his favorite? Hahaha! Isnt this clearly implying that Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai are involved? ] [Thisdy has never expressed her opinion about Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai before. I thought she was very tolerant] [Why is it Lin Shanchu again? Im sick of her being on the trending list!] [This woman is here to leech off Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidais poprity again. Shes so dramatic.] [Olne is her fianc and the other is her good friend. Her leeching off their poprity has nothing to do with you, does it? I think youre the dramatic one.] When Lin Shanchu saw this, sheughed silently. Theizens this time were really amazing. Many people were able to detect her intentions. She was indeed trying to ride on Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidais poprity. She had to be famous. People would only notice her once she was famous. Only when she was noticed by others would people listen to her. Once she had the right to speak, it would be easier for her to deal with Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu was using the directors phone, so Weibo was naturally the directors own ount. She returned to the main page and saw a Weibo notification from an entertainment marketing ount. [Tang Qidais new drama is dyed] There were only a fewments and shares. It was obvious that they had been restricted. Tang Qidai was an A-list celebrity, after al. The extension of her new drama could be a big deal. It was only right for her to be on the trending list. But there was no news on the trending list at all. The team was probably trying to suppress the poprity. Lin Shanchu typed Tang Qidais name in the search bar. A string of rted words immediately appeared: #Tang Qidais cyberbullying scandal #Tang Qidai removed the trending topic #Tang Qidais text #Tang Qidai and the disgusting killjoy #Tang Qidais interference #Tang Qidai, Lin Shanchu, and mangoes These rted words all looked very negative. She clicked on Tang Qidais Weibo and scanned through thements. Soon, Lin Shanchu roughly knew what had happened to Tang Qidai recently. Did she actually instigate her fans to cyberbully a regr person? She was really arrogant and ignorant. No wonder Tang Qidais team didnt dare to buy her way into the trending list. They wanted to wait for the incidents to be over before allowing Tang Qidai to show her face again. There was no problem with the strategy. Their train of thought was also correct. But she, Lin Shanchu, didnt agree with their decision! Lin Shanchu opened the ount management and saw the directors main ount which was already verified. She clicked on the directors main ount. Then, she reposted the Weibo post that said [Tang Qidais new drama will be dyed]. After that, she switched back to the directors smurf Weibo ount. Finally, she exited Weibo. She finished all this in one go, put the phone back in her pocket, and got up to leave. At the door, she happened to meet the director, who hade to the washroom. As soon as the director saw Lin Shanchu, he quickly asked her for his phone. Wheres my phone? Lin Shanchu pulled out the phone and returned it to him. The director hesitated after seeing how upfront she was. You didnt do anything with my phone, did you? Director, do you think Im that kind of person? Lin Shanchu sighed and lowered her eyes slightly. She looked very sad. Who would bear to make a beautiful woman sad? The director quicklyforted her. I. I mean, youre definitely not that kind of person! Chapter 72 - 72: They Were All Happy, She Had Nothing Chapter 72: They Were All Happy, She Had Nothing Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu looked up. Her clear eyes were filled with smiles without the slightest trace of sadness. Thank you, Director. Next time you want to cause trouble, you can let me know in advance. Ill do my best to cooperate with you. Sure thing! Ill definitely tell you next time! The director was ted. The production crew had such a polite and cooperative key element of poprity, so why would they worry about the ratings? The two of them parted ways. The director went into the washroom happily. Meanwhile, Lin Shanchu returned to the dormitory in a good mood. Her roommates were discussing the song selection for tomorrow. After the first public showdown is over, the elimination will begin. Im so worried. Ill definitely get kicked out in one round. You dont know that. Lets wait for the rankings to be announced Lin Shanchu walked straight in. She subconsciously looked at Yun Wus bed. The bed was empty. No one was there. Lin Shanchu, can you do me a favor? Her roommate called out to her. Lin Shanchu smiled and turned around. I heard that you were the one who put on her makeup for Yun Wu during her initial stage assessment, the girl said shyly. Can you help me with my makeup too? All right. Most of the students in the dormitory were from ss F. They were kind to her. It was a small favor, so why wouldnt Lin Shanchu help the girl out? The girl quickly arranged the cosmetics. When Lin Shanchu helped her with her makeup, the girl kept looking up at her. After a long while, she couldnt help but sigh. Youre really beautiful. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and looked at her seriously. Youre also very beautiful. She had always done things at a steady pace with a kind of calmness that did not match her age, which was inexplicably convincing. She sounded quite sincere even when she was making polite talk. The girl smiled shyly. She was about to say something when she looked up and saw Yun Wu at the doorway. Yun Wu is back! Yun Wu replied coldly, Yeah. When she walked in, she kept ncing at Lin Shanchu from time to time. However, Lin Shanchu did not look at her at all. The corners of Yun Wus tightly pursed lips continued to press downward. She was no longer Lin Shanchus most beloved little sister. Lin Shanchu was putting on makeup for other little sisters now. She didnt even look at her. The more Yun Wu thought about it, the sadder she became. She kicked off her shoes, climbed onto her bed, and pulled the nket over her head. The nket couldnt block out the sounds in the room. Yun Wu could clearly hear their conversation. Ive actually wanted you to help me with my makeup for a long time, but I didnt dare to Why not? Do I look that scary to you? Of course not. Its just that youre too pretty, so I didnt dare to talk to you The girl smiled in embarrassment. Lin Shanchus voice also had a hint of a smile. So thats how it is. Yun Wu was even more upset. They were all happy. Meanwhile, she had nothing The next day. It was the day for the members to choose their songs for the first public showdown. Only when there was a stage performance would the production crew arrange for makeup artists to help everyone with their appearances. The members usually did their own makeup for the regr recording sessions. As a result, the official livestream started at nine oclock today, but many people were already up by six. Lin Shanchu also got up at six oclock. But that was because it was her natural time to wake up. She quickly changed her clothes and put on makeup. It was probably because she had helped that girl put on makeupst night that she didnt seem so unapproachable. So, one after another, the girls asked her to help them draw their brows or put on their lipstick for them. Yun Wu didnt know how to put on makeup. She sat in front of the mirror and looked at the pile of cosmetics, clearly at a loss. Lin Shanchu had helped her with her makeup before. Yun Wu looked at everything while feeling a little disappointed. Finally, she got up and walked behind Lin Shanchu, who was helping others with their eye shadow. She pulled on the corner of her clothes and pleaded in a small voice, Can you help me with my makeup? Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Shanchu paused in applying the eye shadow. After two seconds, she slowly replied, Wait a moment. All right, Ill wait for you. Yun Wu happily skipped back to her seat and sat down obediently, waiting for Lin Shanchu toe over and help her with her makeup. From time to time, she would stretch her neck out and look at Lin Shanchu. The camera in the dorm was already on. There were rtively fewer people in the dorm. However, Lin Shanchus dorm had a rtivelyrge audience. Thementers talked about Yun Wu. [What just happened? A night had just passed, and yet Boss Yun the badass already transformed into a sweet-looking girl!] [Boss Yun is so cute when shes waiting for Lin Shanchu to do her makeup!] [I feel that Boss Yun and Lin Shanchu are acting a little weird] [Did they get into an argument?] Lin Shanchu often helped Yun Wu with her makeup. She was more familiar with Yun Wus face than she was with herself. In addition, Yun Wu was already pretty from the start, so it didnt take much time to put on makeup. Its done. Lin Shanchu put down the facial brush. Thank you, Yun Wu said. Yun Wu ced her hands on her knees, looking like an obedient primary school student. Lin Shanchu thought it was funny. Was she really that scary? She didnt say much to Yun Wu as she packed her things and went to the cafeteria to eat alone. On the way to the cafeteria, she met the cameraman who had followed her. Youreter than usual today, the cameraman said. She usually had a fixed breakfast time, and the cameraman followed the rhythm. Lin Shanchu exined, Ive been helping my roommates with their makeup since well be choosing our songs for the first public showdown today. The cameraman looked behind Lin Shanchu while asking, Why didnt you wait for Yun wu? Yun Wu? Lin Shanchu turned around and realized that Yun Wu had unknowingly followed her. Thements went wild. [Hahaha! Why does Boss Yun look like an aggrieved wife?] [What happenedst night? Yun Wu, why are you this weak?] [Lin Shanchu had sessfully tamed Boss Yun into Sweetie Yun] [Hahahaha! Im definitely dying in thement section one of these days!] After the cameraman finished speaking, he took his camera and went to record the others. Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu were the only ones left in the corridor. Seeing that she had been discovered, Yun Wu simply strode toward her in wide steps.. Why are you following me? Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly, clearly confused. There were a lot of people walking in the corridor, so she didnt think much about it when she sensed someone behind her. Lets eat Yun Wu said in a low voice. She looked a little pitiful. Lin Shanchu just looked at her with aplicated expression, then turned and left. Everyone in the training camp knew how enthusiastic Yun Wu was when it came to eating. She must have been taking her time today because Lin Shanchu was in her way. As she thought about this, Lin Shanchu quickened her pace. They soon arrived at the cafeteria. It was already eight oclock, so the cafeteria was packed with people. An Youyun raised her voice and greeted Lin Shanchu, Good morning, Big Sister. Morning, Lin Shanchu replied with a smile. Xia Jinmeng was sitting opposite An Youyun. Her gaze swept back and forth between Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu. Then, she asked An Youyun, What happened to Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu? What? An Youyun had just stuffed a cherry tomato into her mouth, so her voice was muffled. I dont know. What happened to them? The girls at the next table came over to gossip. When I was in the cafeteriast night, I saw the two of them not returning to the dorm together after eating. This morning, I heard from their dormmates that after they returned to the dormst night, neither of them bothered talking to each other. Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: The Surprised Arranged By the Production Crew Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion????? Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Did they fight? Xia Jinmeng asked, deep in thought. An Youyun nced at Xia Jinmeng and smiled, revealing her dimples. I dont think so. Didnt they just have breakfast together? But they didnt even say a word to each other, the girl added. The girls followed her line of sight. Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu each carried a te and walked to the table one after another. There was nomunication throughout the entire process. An Youyun pursed her lips. The two of them really seemed to be quarreling. She turned around and saw Xia Jinmeng staring at Lin Shanchu. She frowned slightly. Xia Jinmeng had always been against Lin Shanchu, both openly and secretly. She did not know what thetter was up to this time. It was true that Lin Shanchu, who had appeared out of nowhere, made people envious of her. However, An Youyun hated people like Xia Jinmeng who constantly yed dirty tricks in the dark even more. When they entered the studio, Lin Shanchu saw the director. Good morning, Director. Lin Shanchu took the initiative to greet him. The director snorted and turned his head away in a huff. When he turned his head, he saw that the other staff members were all looking at him in surprise. Lin Shanchu alone had carried more than half of the shows viewership ratings, so the director had praised Lin Shanchu a lot in private. Why did he not like Lin Shanchu today? The director could only turn around and reply in an unpleasant tone, Morning! It seemed that she had been found out. Not only did Lin Shanchu not feel guilty, but she even whispered to the director, Is it on the trending list? The director was stunned for a moment and only reacted a momentter. Lin Shanchu was asking if the dy of Tang Qidais new drama was on the trending list. You He really wanted to let those people who said that Lin Shanchu was gentle and kind see what she had done! But he couldnt. Lin Shanchu was the key element of poprity, after all. Yes, its on the trending list! The director had no choice. The director of My Stage reposted the news of the dy regarding Tang Qidais new drama on Weibo. There seemed to be no rtionship between the two, but there were manyizens who loved to do readingprehension. This naturally made it to the trending list. Thank you, Lin Shanchu said while showing a satisfied smile. She looked as gentle and kind as she could be. The director was speechless. Youre wee. In fact, Lin Shanchu was still quite gentle and kind. The mentors and the host entered the venue one after another. Yu Weixin and Huo Xunzhou will be co-hosting My Stage from this episode onward. The order of this episodes song selection was determined by the top 15 members. After Yu Weixin finished reading the song selection rules, he smiled mysteriously. The production crew has also arranged a surprise for the top 15 members. Well find out more about thatter. He continued, Next, Ill announce the members rankings. The ranking of the members was announced starting from the middle. Those whose names were not called could be in the top 15, or they could be on the list of thest 18 eliminated members. After that, Yu Weixin and Huo Xunzhou continued to announce the list. The top 15 and thest 18 names were alternated. Thementers started to get anxious. [The immersion is too strong! Im already feeling nervous for them!] [Oh? Wen Tongtong is on the elimination list.] [I pray that my Anan will be in the top five.] [Im only curious about Lin Shanchus ranking.] [Wont you know if you look at the poll?] [There are several voting portals, and the final count is the overall number of votes. The single-channel ranking is not urate.] The list soon reached the top six. The camera cut to Yun Wu. Yu Weixin slowly said, Sixth ce, Yun Wu. Thements went wild. [Huh? Damn it! Did my Sweetie Yun get sacrificed by other people?] [Right, Boss Yun is super strong! Why isnt she part of the debut list?] [I havent heard Xia Jinmengs name. Does that mean shes in the top five?] [Are they saying that Sweetie Yun cantpare to Xia Jinmeng? Clearly, those people didnt use their brains to vote!] Lin Shanchu turned to look at Yun Wu. Yun Wu stared ahead in a daze, her eyes unfocused. Ran Zhimo thought that she was upset about her ranking, so she patted her on the shoulder tofort her. But based on Lin Shanchus understanding of her Yun Wu was probably thinking about food. After all, it would be lunchtime in two hours. In the next moment, she heard Yun Wu mutter, I wonder if the cafeteria will cook braised prawns at noon Ran Zhimo, who was about to say something tofort Yun Wu, looked puzzled. She poked Lin Shanchus shoulder and whispered, Arent you going to talk to The rankings were being announced, and yet Yun Wus mind was still filled with thoughts of food. Lin Shanchu replied, The cafeterias braised prawns are quite delicious. Ran Zhimo was speechless. For a moment, she felt apologetic for disrupting Yun Wus gluttonous daydreams. The braised prawns in the cafeteria were really delicious. She was starting to crave them. In a sh, the ranking had already been announced to third ce. Huo Xunzhous voice drifted slowly. Third ce, An Youyun. A member congratted her in a low voice. An Youyun smiled and responded to them one by one. Finally, her gaze fell on Lin Shanchu. Only the top two were not announced. Among the remaining people Only Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng could possibly be in the top two. Although Xia Jinmeng didnt perform well in the theme song assessment, she had a lot of fans. They were all die-hard fans who had followed her when she formed a group abroad. They were also very good at spending money. Lin Shanchu was on the trending list the day she entered the show. Although her poprity was high, most of theizens were here to watch the drama, so they might not vote for her. Hence, the first ce was very likely to go to Xia Jinmeng. Thementers started to debate. [No way Lin Shanchu the untalented hack actually hacked her way into the top two?] [I can already smell the rotten breath of jealousy from outer space.] [Please watch the views of Lin Shanchus personal performances before you speak, okay?] [Dont you know that the number of views can be manipted artificially?] [You can just say whatever you want without any evidence!] Xia Jinmeng was initially worried that she would not perform well in the theme song assessment and that it would affect her votes. She didnt expect her fans to live up to her expectations. Lin Shanchu was full of scandals, not to mention thoseizens were just there to watch the drama. How could they really like her and vote for her? The first ce could only go to her, Xia Jinmeng. Under everyones expectant gazes, Yu Weixin suddenly changed the topic. At this tense moment, let us reveal the surprise that the production crew has arranged for everyone! All the members were speechless. Even thementers were speechless. The production crew had prepared blind boxes for the top 15 members to draw from. Before the drawing began, Yu Weixin specifically reminded, Theres only one red blind box that contains the mystery prize. Lets see who will be the lucky one. Some people got snacks, while others got plushies. In any case, it was just little things that were quitemon but became especially precious because the training camp didnt have them. Yun Wu drew a pack of spicy snacks and jumped up and down in joy. Thementers were allughing at her. [Sweetie Yun can no longer return to those days as the badass.] [I dont think the blind boxes are that simple.] When it was Lin Shanchus turn, she drew a red box out of the pile. Lets congratte Lin Shanchu for winning the red blind box, Yu Weixin said. However, Lin Shanchu noticed that the director, who was standing behind the camera at the side, was grinning from ear to ear.. Chapter 74 - 74: Worst Performance Ever Chapter 74: Worst Performance Ever Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu instantly understood. The red blind box was a trap. How could the director arrange a mystery prize for her? It was undoubtedly a mystery trap! Yu Weixin saw that Lin Shanchu was still not moving, so he reminded, Lets see what this mystery prize is. Lin Shanchu opened the blind box. She took out a piece of paper. Yu Weiwei handed her the microphone. Lin Shanchu looked at the words on the note and silently ground her teeth before she began to read. Congrattions on winning Death of the Universe as the song of your performance. The moment her voice fell The atmosphere at the scene became subtle. Yu Weixin nced in the direction of the director. Even Huo Xunzhou was looking at the director coldly. The director shuddered at the look in Huo Xunzhous eyes. He turned to his assistant and said, Why is Mr. Huo looking at me like that? Does he think that I designed this part very well? The assistant looked troubled before replying tentatively, Could it be possible that he looked at you like that because he wanted to stab you? The director was speechless. The assistant continued, The song Death of the Universe has a fast rhythm, constant movements, and requires a huge amount of stamina. Its a test of Lin Shanchus foundation in dance. If she can perform it well, her performance will be the most explosive out of all 15 performances, but if she screws up Lin Shanchu was indeed not the strongest among the members. The director replied, It depends on Lin Shanchu if she can perform the dance well or not. Im only responsible for creating difficulties for her and raising the audiences expectations. If the audience was looking forward to it, wouldnt the viewership ratings be stable? The assistant was speechless. Meanwhile, Yu Weixin tried to ease the atmosphere. Lin Shanchu is really lucky to have drawn the song, Death of the Universe, that everyone wants! Death of the Universe was the first out-of-thefort-zone performance that ROF, a boy group that was popr across Asia, had performed. They had hired a professional dance instructor to choreograph a dance for the boy group. It was a ssic. When the performance was being yed earlier, many members wanted to challenge Death of the Universe. After all, many of them were professionals. With Lin Shanchus broken and battered body, she might be able to perform it if she were to put her life on the line. But she didnt want to risk her life. She could only die after Lu Shiyuan was gone. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath. There was no way she could smile. She might as well give up on maintaining her gentle persona. Can I not ept this grand prize? she asked, already giving up. Yu Weixin was speechless. Lin Shanchu would be hated even more after this. However, he was a person who knew how to repay ones kindness. Lin Shanchu had helped him before, so he could not just watch Lin Shanchu get scolded. Yu Weixin gave Lin Shanchu a look before he started to work on saving her pride. Why? Are you trying topete fairly with everyone? Lin Shanchu replied, No. Thats because I dont think I can perform this dance. The haters in the live broadcast room finally found a way to criticize Lin Shanchu. Thements were filled with negativity. [Trash will always be trash!] [Imughing so hard right now! The production crew gave away the best song to Lin Shanchu, but it turns out that shes the type wholl betray all of your expectations!] [Many members dream of dancing to Death of the Universe! Why must Lin Shanchu be the one having it?] [Im calling it right now C the worst performance during the first public showdown will go to Lin Shanchu!] Yu Weixin was speechless. Was his hint not obvious enough? It was over. Lin Shanchu would get scolded even more this time. Sigh! Yu Weixin sighed in his heart, but he still had to go through the process. The rules of the production crew cant be changed. There will be a blind box selection segment for every episode in the future. Cant be changed? Lin Shanchu smiled and looked at the director not far away. Thank you for the production crews arrangement. Ill do my best. The director hugged himself tightly in silence. Why did young people nowadays look so scary? Mr. Huo was a man. It was fine for him to have a strong aura since he had experienced a lot in his lifetime. Lin Shanchu was just a young woman, but to think that she was this scary as well Yu Weixin continued with the process. Next, Mr. Huo will announce the rankings of thest two members. Huo Xunzhou did not look at the script. Instead, he picked up the microphone. All the members held their breaths in anticipation. The camera kept alternating between Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng raised her chin slightly while looking quite proud of herself. Lin Shanchu yed with the blind box without any expression. Thements flooded the screen. [Look at Lin Shanchus miserable expression. She looks so funny.] [The prettydy is sad. I cant help but pity her.] [The real sadness wille in the future. This is just the beginning. What a useless trash!] Congrattions, Xia Jinmeng Huo Xunzhou paused. He nced at Lin Shanchu. The dramatic director gave Lin Shanchu a close-up shot. That shot made Huo Xunzhous eyes seem like they were filled with regret. Thementers started specting. [Whats going on? Isnt Lin Shanchu number one?] [Xia Jinmeng and Lin Shanchu are just the pot calling the kettle ck. Neither of them is worthy of first ce!] [Although I dont like Xia Jinmeng either, shes at least capable.] [Are you talking about her capability during the theme song assessment?] Huo Xunzhou cooperated with the production crew by leaving everyone hanging for a long time before continuing, On getting number two this episode. Xia Jinmengs smile froze on her face. The members who were ready to p and congratte her didnt dare to say anything. They pped their hands to congratte Xia Jinmeng for a bit before going silent. Huo Xunzhous eyes fell on Lin Shanchus face again. Lin Shanchu, congrattions. He lowered his voice at the end, his maic and pleasant voice showing a gentleness that was different from his aloof expression. The camera panned across Huo Xunzhous face. Everyones focus was on Lin Shanchu getting first ce. Therefore, no one noticed anything amiss with Huo Xunzhou. Ran Zimo patted Lin Shanchus shoulder while saying, Youre so awesome! Yun Wu did not say anything. She just pped her hands with all his might. In the midst of the apuse, Lin Shanchu finally reacted. Did she obtain first ce? Were there really so many people who liked her and were willing to vote for her? Or could it be like the student meet-and-greet, where Tang Qidai had secretly hired someone to do her a favor and deliberately set her up? Who didnt want to be liked and recognized? She was happy to get first ce. However, she felt that it was not real at all. She had been living in the abyss all these years. Day after day, she did all she could to survive in the ruins. Nothing nice would ever happen to her. Therefore, her initial reaction to getting first ce was not joy, but self-doubt. The rankings were announced. Next was the song selection and team formation. Lin Shanchu didnt need to choose anymore, so she held the Death of the Universe sign and waited at the side. After everyone had chosen their songs, it was time to group up. Yun Wu and An Youyuns groups were the most popr. An Youyun had a good temper and was popr, so it would definitely be very harmonious to form a team with her. Yun Wu was powerful, not to mention she taught people free of charge. Their groups were soon filled up. Even Xia Jinmengs group had three people. Only Lin Shanchu was still alone. No one was willing to form a group with her. Death of the Universe was too difficult. Everyone felt that she had a weak foundation and wouldnt be able to dance well. Therefore, she would end up dragging her group down.. Chapter 75 - 75: Is He More Handsome and More Difficult to Handle Than Huo Xunzhou? Chapter 75: Is He More Handsome and More Difficult to Handle Than Huo Xunzhou? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The rules for forming groups were still based on rankings. The groups that had performances that were easier and looked better were already filled at the start of the formation. By the time the members on the eliminated list had to choose their groups, there werent many slots left. A few vocal groups still had a few slots left. Xia Jinmengs group still had a slot. Thest group was Lin Shanchus group, which still had five empty slots. It was Wen Tongtongs turn. A member who didnt know what was going on shouted at Wen Tongtong, Jinmengs group still has one more slot! Thementers started discussing. [Wen Tongtong will definitely choose Xia Jinmeng.] [ I guess only thest five people will be forced to choose Lin Shanchus group.] [I cant wait to see members of rank one and thest five ranks screwing up the performance very badly! ] Just when everyone thought that Wen Tongtong would choose Xia Jinmengs group She stopped in front of Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu, who was formerlyzy, suddenly stood up straight and looked at Wen Tongtong with raised eyebrows. Are you joining? Yes, Wen Tongtong replied. Lin Shanchu waved at her eagerly. Hurry up. She was also a prideful person at the end of the day. It was quite awkward when no one wanted to support her. If Tang Qidai were there right now, Lin Shanchu would still ept her as a group member, let alone Wen Tongtong. The other members were speechless. Thementers were also speechless. The members and theizens all witnessed how much Wen Tongtong targeted Lin Shanchu. When did the two of them turn hostility into friendship? Once Lin Shanchu had her first groupmate, the situation became better for her. Soon, the second member joined their group. Big Sister! Ning Yunxi jogged over with a smile. Lin Shanchu also beckoned for her toe over and stand with them. Thest three groupmates had nowhere else to go, so they were forced to join Lin Shanchus group. Thementers started discussing excitedly. [Um Did the weakest members choose the failing performance?] [Theyll most likely fail in this showdown. This group is formed of people wholl be dissuaded of participating this show.] [I understand now. The production crew never wanted to promote Lin Shanchu in the first ce. Instead, theyre trying to dissuade her.] [She relied on other peoples help and luck during the initial stage and theme song assessments. Lets see how Lin Shanchu will fare this time.] [Im waiting for Lin Shanchu to be eliminated in the first round.] Not only were theizens criticizing Lin Shanchus group, but even the director, who was the initiator, began to panic. As soon as the recording ended in the morning, the director went to Nan Mu worriedly. Seeing that Huo Xunzhou was also there, the director hesitated and didnt dare to speak his mind. If you have something to say, just say it. Nan Mu had already heard that Lin Shanchu had chosen Death of the Universe, so he could guess the directors purpose of visiting him. The director scratched his head awkwardly. President Nan, he said. Did I go too far this time? Nan Mu crossed his arms and looked at the director calmly. If you didnt believe that Lin Shanchu could perform Death of the Universe, why did you arrange this segment in the first ce? Its not that I dont believe her. Its just Lin Shanchus performance in the previous two episodes was too surprising, so I think shell definitely be able to do it this time! But I dont think she has much confidence in herself this time, so Im not sure as well When Lin Shanchu had drawn Death of the Universe, she had asked if she could turn down the grand prize. Obviously, she wasnt confident at all. After hearing this, Nan Mu nced at Huo Xunzhou before replying to the director, Ill have a chat with Lin Shanchuter. As soon as the director left, the calm expression on Nan Mus face disappeared. He paced back and forth in front of Huo Xunzhou with a face full of anxiety. Xunzhou, do you think Lin Shanchu will be able to do it this time? Fans nowadays are bing more and more rational. If you have the ability, they will like you. If you dont have the ability, they will leave you and like someone else. If Lin Shanchu fails her performance during the first public showdown, she might get eliminated for real. Of course, with our friendship in consideration, I can always open a back door for her Theres no need for that. Huo Xunzhou frowned, seemingly dizzy from watching Nan Mu pacing around. Dont we need to open the back door for her? Nan Mu stopped. But I havent received the resources yet. She might have to stay idle for a long time after getting eliminated Huo Xunzhous brows furrowed even more before interrupting Nan Mu, She knows what shes doing. Nan Mu was puzzled. Huh? Are you talking about Lin Shanchu? Wait, dont leave! Im not done talking yet.. Bam! The door was closed. Lin Shanchu was influenced by Yun Wu. It turned out that she got more and more enthusiastic about eating. She ran to the cafeteria as soon as the recording ended. In fact, she was the first to arrive at the cafeteria to order food. Lin Shanchu had just sat down at the dining table when she saw Yun Wu following her from the corner of her eye. She couldnt figure out what Yun Wu was thinking. If she were to say that Yun Wu was afraid of her, thetter still ate with her every meal. However, if she were to say that Yun Wu wasnt afraid of her, thetter still looked like she didnt dare to talk to her at all. While Lin Shanchu spaced out, Yun Wu picked two of thergest braised prawns from her te and put them on the formers te. The song Death of the Universe is a really tough one. You need to eat more. Lin Shanchu stared at the two big prawns for a moment before slowly asking, Are you not afraid of me? Why should I be afraid of you? Yun Wu shook her head while looking puzzled. Lin Shanchu was stunned. Then why didnt you dare to talk to me? Yun Wu shook her head hurriedly again. Its not what you think. I dont know how tofort people. I was afraid that youd be unhappier if I were to say the wrong things to you. How am I unhappy? Lin Shanchu tilted her head in confusion. I cant describe it clearly. All I know is that youre unhappy. Yun Wu had this feeling when she first saw Lin Shanchu. After that, even though Lin Shanchu was always smiling, she could feel that Lin Shanchu wasnt happy at all. It was only when she found out about the de that she couldnt help but mention it to Lin Shanchu. Lets eat. Lin Shanchu looked down. It didnt matter to her whether she was happy or not. She just wanted to get rid of Lu Shiyuan as soon as possible and then kill him. Yun Wu, however, started to be talkative again. She asked in a soft voice, Did Lu Shiyuan treat you badly? Lin Shanchu did not respond, so Yun Wu continued, I knew it. A man who already has a fiance but is still having an affair with another woman cant be a good person! You can call off the engagement with him. I have plenty of older brothers at home, all of whom are handsome and rich. You can choose any one of them! Yun Wus generous and indifferent tone made it seem as if she was just selling cabbages. Lin Shanchuughed and teased, Then I must pick the most handsome one. You have a good eye! Yun Wu gave her a thumbs up. However, my most handsome brother is the most difficult to deal with. Then again, youll definitely be fine. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Although she didnt know where Yun Wus inexplicable confidence in her came from, she started to develop an interest in Yun Wus most handsome and most troublesome brother. Was he more handsome and more difficult to handle than Huo Xunzhou? After the meal, the two of them returned to their training room. In the middle of the training, Yun Wu went to the washroom. When she came out of the stall, she was stopped by Xia Jinmeng, who was guarding the door. Lets talk. Yun Wu didnt even look at her as she walked straight out. Xia Jinmeng caught up with her and grabbed her.. Hey! Didnt you hear me talking to you? Chapter 76 - 76: Yes! Hurry Up! Quickly! Go! Chapter 76: Yes! Hurry Up! Quickly! Go! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Wu frowned and pped her hand away. What are you doing? That arrogant look was exactly the same as Lin Shanchus. Xia Jinmeng suppressed her anger. Then, she tried her best to put on a friendly look. You obviously have the strength, but youre being suppressed by that trash Lin Shanchu. You must feel very ufortable, right? Yun Wu blinked. Its very ufortable. During the theme song assessment, Xia Jinmeng had danced so badly, and yet she still managed to get second ce. She was indeed a little unconvinced. Xia Jinmeng couldnt help butugh when she heard this. Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu had quarreled yesterday. Today, the ranking list was announced, revealing that Yun Wu wasnt a part of the debut group. She must be jealous of Lin Shanchu. Xia Jinmeng continued to instigate her. If it wasnt for Lin Shanchu, you would definitely be able to snag a debut slot. Shes the one whos blocking your way. Yes, Yun Wu agreed. She had her eyes on Xia Jinmengs slot and was prepared to snatch it from her during the first public showdown. Xia Jinmeng noticed that Yun Wu was starting to get excited, so she finally revealed her true purpose. One of the balconies located next to the corridor of the dorm building happens to be a blind spot for the surveince cameras. No matter what you do there, you wont be caught on camera. What do you want to do? Yun Wu asked with narrowed eyes. Its not just me. Were the ones doing it. Xia Jinmeng leaned closer to her. Just bring Lin Shanchu over, she said softly. We can do whatever we want when the timees. Oh. Okay. Yun Wu agreed without hesitation. Xia Jinmeng didnt expect Yun Wu to be so easily convinced. But she quickly convinced herself. There was no sisterly love in front of benefits. They couldnt wait for the other party to die so that they could make room for themselves. At this moment, Wen Tongtong walked in from the outside. She saw the two of them chatting and couldnt help but stop in her tracks. Yun Wu was the first to leave. Xia Jinmeng stopped in front of Wen Tongtong and sneered. Do you think you can stand out by sucking up to Lin Shanchu? Stop dreaming. She cant even protect herself! What do you want now? Wen Tongtong had been Xia Jinmengs sidekick for so many years, so she knew thetters persona the best. How could Xia Jinmeng tolerate her first ce being taken away by Lin Shanchu? She must have been plotting with Yun Wu to harm Lin Shanchu. Being a busybody wont do you any good, Xia Jinmeng warned coldly. In the training room. Lin Shanchu and her teammates were discussing the dance moves. Then, she performed theplete dance. After the dance, she copsed to the ground in exhaustion. Noticing Lin Shanchus terrifyingly pale face, Ning Yunxi approached her worriedly. Big Sister, are you okay? No. Im dying. Lin Shanchu closed her eyes while drawling weakly. Thementers were discouraged. [It seems that Lin Shanchu is really done for this time. Shes so tired after only one dance.] [To think that shes not even as strong as Ning Yunxi] [I thought there would be a twist, but it turns out that shes still so useless.] [Lets leave. Theres nothing to see here. Just trash.] Ning Yunxi thought that Lin Shanchu was just being dejected. Theres still half a month before the official release! Youre super awesome, so you can definitely do it! Good luck, Big Sister! People were always fearless when they were young. They believed that everything was possible. That made them confident, optimistic, and positive. Lin Shanchu really envied Ning Yunxi. She sat up and patted Ning Yunxis head. You go practice first. Ill rest for a while. Okay. Ning Yunxi was a little worried. If youre not feeling well, let me know. Ill go to the doctor with you. Okay. After Ning Yunxi left, Lin Shanchu went to the corner and sat down. She curled her legs and buried her face in her knees. Come out, you idiot. The handy system reacted quite slowly most likely due to the fact that it hadnt been active for a very long time. The system replied, [Coming] Lin Shanchu stated, I want to finish performing Death of the Universe. The system immediately became nervous. [No! This dance is too intense for you! With your current physical condition, youll lose your life before the first public showdown!] Lin Shanchu sneered. Why else do you think I summoned you? The system felt that it was being looked down on. But it didnt dare to say it. This host was way too wild for it to handle. Shed always threaten it with her life whenever she wanted to. The weak and helpless system swallowed its anger before saying, [I have health additional cards in the warehouse] Lin Shanchu, who had already figured out the rules, interrupted it directly. Whats the mission? The system was very happy when it found out that Lin Shanchu was very eager to do missions. [There has to be gossip about you and another person being in a rtionship!] Whos the target? Lin Shanchu became excited immediately when she heard about the mission. It was not a mission rted to Lu Shiyuan. Her resistance was indeed effective. But soon, her good mood was shattered. The system replied, [Ji Yuan.] Lin Shanchu was silent for two seconds. Well, [beep] you and [beep]! Lets just say she said a bunch of very nice things about the system. However, her choice of words got censored bv the svstem because the niceties. [Female leads cant curse,] the system stated. Lin Shanchu retorted, Shut up, you useless system! You dont have the right to say that! The system was speechless. Lin Shanchu began to wonder if she had killed the systems entire family in her previous life. That was why the system always gave her an endless stream of death-seeking missions. Ji Yuan was the new top celebrity who had stepped on Fu Jue to get to the top. The number of fans who were in love with him could easily drown Lin Shanchu with their saliva. Moreover, she hadnt broken off her engagement with Lu Shiyuan yet. If there was really a scandal between her and Ji Yuan, she would have to get out of the entertainment industry and die to appease the anger of Ji Yuans lovestruck fans. However, she had to hold on until the end of the first public showdown. The fans whom she had never met voted for her and helped her get first ce She couldnt let them down. Lin Shanchu asked, Are there any other missions? The system said tactfully, [Follow the plot.] It didnt even dare to mention Lu Shiyuans name. Lin Shanchu held on to thest trace of hope. Apart from that? The system fiddled with its response for a while. [Why dont you try dating someone?] Lin Shanchu was even more convinced that she and the system had a blood feud. Who was she going to date in the training camp filled with girls only? Lin Shanchu was so angry that she blocked the system again. The system noticed Lin Shanchus thoughts and quickly added, [You can date Huo Xunzhou!] Mr. Huo! Ning Yunxis voice came. Lin Shanchu looked up and saw Li MO pushing Huo Xunzhou in from the door. Speak of the devil, and the devil wille. The system urged, [What are you waiting for? Go!] Are you sure? Lin Shanchu asked. Had she finally driven the system mad? Now, it was brazenly asking her to date a male supporting character. The system replied, [Yes! Hurry up! Quickly! Go!] Lin Shanchu was speechless. In order toplete her performance She was sorry to him! Huo Xunzhou! Lin Shanchu strode toward where Huo Xunzhou was. Big Brother, Ms. Lin is here, Li MO said in a low voice as he leaned over. Huo Xunzhou saw her as soon as he entered the room. When he got closer, he realized that she looked pale. Mr. Huo. Lin Shanchu smiled and walked closer. In the next second, her left foot stepped on her right foot, causing her to copse into Huo Xunzhous arms immediately.. Chapter 77 - 77: Get Out! Chapter 77: Get Out! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair, so he had nowhere to hide. He steadily caught the girl who fell into his arms. The girl in his arms leaned on his shoulder gently while emitting a cold fragrance. He subconsciously reached out to hold her waist. Her soft waist seemed like it would break if he were to tighten his grip. He didnt dare to use too much force, but he still held her firmly. The others were so shocked that they forgot to react for a moment. Thement section also exploded. [Whats going on?] [Lin Shanchu cant dance, so she wants to ckmail Mr. Huo! Is that it?] [Ive really opened my eyes. This is the first time Ive seen such a trashy woman.] Lin Shanchu pretended to fall into Huo Xunzhous arms to try the effect of making intimate contact with him. Hence, she wanted to get up immediately. She even prepared an excuse in advance. However Her waist was firmly held by Huo Xunzhou, so she couldnt get up at the moment. Huo Xunzhou turned his head slightly and whispered into her ear, Are you feeling ufortable anywhere? Lin Shanchus physical condition had always been bad. He had seen her suffering from her illness and faint before. Therefore, it was natural for him to think that Lin Shanchu was sick again. He didnt think that Lin Shanchu was faking it. Huo Xunzhous tone was upright and honest with a hint of concern. However, his deliberately lowered voice was very pleasant to listen to. It was like a demons whisper, confusing people without them knowing. Lin Shanchus eardrums went numb. Her body, which was originally trying to support itself, instantly lost all its strength. In the end, she fell back onto Huo Xunzhou. She muttered weakly, It hurts All of this happened in the blink of an eye. After a brief moment of shock, the others finally reacted. Lin Shanchu? Lin Shanchu, whats wrong with you? Big Sister, are you okay? Ning Yunxi squeezed to the front anxiously and tried to check on Lin Shanchus condition. Li MO saw Huo Xunzhous serious expression and whispered, Big Brother, should I take Ms. Lin to the doctor? It was a pity that Big Brother still had to sit in a wheelchair and pretend to be disabled. Otherwise, he could y the role of a hero and bridal-carry Lin Shanchu to safety. Huo Xunzhou ignored Li Mo. Instead, he turned to look at Ning Yunxi. Take her to the infirmary. The dancers tended to be stronger. Ning Yunxi and another girl worked together to carry Lin Shanchu to the infirmary easily. Thements started filling the screen. [Some people should be kinder to others. Lin Shanchu only fainted because she wasnt feeling well.] [Thats right. Most of the people watching the show are girls. Why do you have to be so malicious?] [Tch! Who knows if shes faking it or not?] [Why would she fake her illness in front of Mr. Huo, the greatest actor ever, and during the livestream? Are you dumb?] [Or maybe shes pretending to be sick just to avoid practicing Death of the Universe.] [Lin Shanchu is too thin. Shes so pale that she doesnt look healthy at all] There were doctors on duty 24 hours a day in the infirmary. As soon as Lin Shanchu was sent to the infirmary, Huo Xunzhou asked the doctor to do a check-up on her. Check-up? There were only simple equipment in the infirmary, but the doctor was still very professional. He would definitely be able to detect the abnormality in her body. The fact that she was terminally ill must not be spread. If this news were to be spread to Lu Shiyuan, he would have a reason to make her withdraw from the show. The moment she thought of this, Lin Shanchu slowly opened her eyes. Yunxi. Big Sister, youre awake! Ning Yunxi turned around immediately. Did you guys bring me here? Ning Yunxi helped Lin Shanchu up. Ning Yunxi exined, You suddenly fainted, so Mr. Huo asked us to bring you to the infirmary. How are you feeling now? Lin Shanchu smiled slightly. Thank you. Im feeling much better now. You guys should go back and practice. Ning Yun wasnt reassured at all. She kept looking back at Lin Shanchu once every few steps, but she still left in the end. The doctor briefly asked about Lin Shanchus condition. Then, he prescribed her some medicine and left. Huo Xunzhou did not say a word throughout the entire process. Li MO was very perceptive. Once the doctor left, he closed the door. Ms. Lin, although your performance is very important, you still have to take care of your health. After all Someone will be worried, Li MO said as he stole a nce at Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu followed his gaze and looked at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou sat quietly in his wheelchair. His eyes were like the distant mountains under the night sky, deep and hard to read. Im very sorry for what happened just now. Lin Shanchu almost did not dare to look him in the eye. She was ashamed. Huo Xunzhou was such a smart person. If he had paid more attention, he would have realized that she had actually faked her fall. Yet, his first reaction was to show concern for her health. He actually trusted her so much. However, she She actually listened to the system and tried to date him in exchange for health points. She used the feelings of someone who trusted her to achieve her goal. She was indeed despicable. Li MO felt that the atmosphere was off. He looked at Lin Shanchu, then at Huo Xunzhou. Why was Big Brother not saying anything? There wasnt any need for him to be that petty, right? Ms. Lin didnt fall onto him on purpose, after all. As a considerate little brother, Li MO decided to take the initiative to help his big brother. Ms. Lin, dont take this petty matter to heart. You didnt do it on purpose Get out! Huo Xunzhou suddenly spoke, sounding unusually sharp. It was filled with a burst of anger that was about to erupt. Li MO was so scared that he quivered. He could not remember thest time Huo Xunzhou got that angry. However, he always remembered that he could not afford to offend an angry Huo Xunzhou. All right, he relented. Li MO quickly fled the scene. However, he didnt go far. Instead, he stood guard at the door. In the room. Lin Shanchu looked at the tightly shut door as she cried regretful tears on the inside. She should have escaped with Li MO just now. Huo Xunzhous expression was terrifying. He must have found out that she had faked the fall to lie to him. As a perfect character in the spotlight, he probably wouldnt hit a woman unlike Lu Shiyuan the jerk, right? Lin Shanchu, dont you have anything to say to me? Huo Xunzhous words pulled her back to reality. His tone was cold and indifferent. Compared to Huo Xunzhou, Lin Shanchu felt that she was a coward. She was not afraid of Lu Shiyuan, but when she was facing Huo Xunzhou, she could not do anything. NO! As the female lead, she couldnt admit defeat! Thats right! I did fake that fall! I fell on you on purpose! In order to show off her aura, Lin Shanchu deliberately raised her chin and raised her voice. However, the sudden increase in her countenance still revealed her guilty conscience. Huo Xunzhou looked at her. He was stunned for three whole seconds before he lowered his head. He had one hand pressed on his lips. His expression couldnt be seen at all. Lin Shanchu was able to see his chest that was slightly quivering. She was perplexed. Shouldnt he fling the door and leave out of anger after scolding her for being a scheming, evil woman? What was Huo Xunzhou doing? Lin Shanchu carefully probed, Are Are you all right? Im fine Ahem! Huo Xunzhou had yet to look up. He even started coughing. Lin Shanchu felt more and more puzzled. She got out of bed before approaching Huo Xunzhou. Then, she crouched down and raised her head. The first thing she saw was the mans handsome face, which had gone red from trying to hold back hisughter to the point that he started coughing.. Chapter 78 - 78: What If I Were to Do Something Even More Outrageous? Chapter 78: What If I Were to Do Something Even More Outrageous? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The two of them looked at each other for a moment. What are youughing at? Lin Shanchu asked, stunned. She did not understand. Also, she was greatly shocked. Did she just tell the biggest joke of the century? Why was Huo Xunzhouughing like that? Huo Xunzhou, who was caught trying to hold back hisughter, cleared his throat ufortably and denied it with a cold face. I wasntughing. Lin Shanchu was even more confused. It was rare to see such a stubborn person. Huo Xunzhous eyes held a mischievous smile. I really didnt expect that you admire me to the extent that youd want to make contact with me intimately by faking your fall. Lin Shanchu choked in response. Did the topic fromst time not end yet? Thest time they talked about this topic, it ended with her slipping away. She couldnt let this man get the upper hand every time! Lin Shanchu sneered back in response. What if Im just using you to gain poprity? Oh? Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow with a half-smile. Not only was he not angry, but he even looked a little interested. Do you not mind that, Mr. Huo? Lin Shanchu asked thoughtfully. Ive said it before. Men are always more tolerant towards their admirers. He was sitting in the wheelchair, and she was squatting in front of him. From her angle, she could see her own shadow in his alluring eyes. That gaze, that tone. It could make anyone believe him. Lin Shanchu seemed to have been bewitched as she asked softly, What if I were to do something even more outrageous? What? Her voice was so soft that Huo Xunzhou couldnt hear her clearly even though he was so close. Lin Shanchu did not repeat herself. Her gaze fell on the mans big hand that was restingzily on the armrest of the wheelchair. The joints were well-proportioned, and the shape of the hand was beautiful, like a fine piece of art. Lin Shanchu raised her hand and boldly held the big hand. She could feel the mans hand stiffen the moment she held it, but he did not break free. Lin Shanchu pulled his hand toward her. Then, she lowered her head. She left a light kiss on the back of his hand. The soft and cold touch on the back of his hand instantly turned into a strong burning sensation. The burning sensation seeped through his skin, flesh, bones, and blood. It spread all the way to Huo Xunzhous heart. The scorching heat was too real. Huo Xunzhou trembled and quickly pulled his hand back. Lin Shanchu, who had been staring at him, noticed a sh of panic on his face. The man, who had always been cold and self-restrained, looked even more charming than usual with such an expression on his face. Do you not like it, Mr. Huo? As Lin Shanchu spoke, her eyes fell on his hand again. Huo Xunzhou subconsciously clenched his fists before stating coldly, Mind your manners. Oh, Lin Shanchu replied. Did he just ask her to mind her manners? You dont seem to mind me kissing you, Mr. Huo Lin Shanchu deliberately slowed down her countenance. However, before she could finish her sentence, Huo Xunzhou stood up and walked out of the room. His footsteps were very fast. In fact, he was no longer calm and collected as before. Did he forget that he was still pretending to be disabled? Lin Shanchu decided to remind him when he reached the door. Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside. When Nan Mu saw Huo Xunzhou walking toward him, he quickly closed the door. Xunzhou, wheres your wheelchair? Over there! Lin Shanchu spoke up while gesturing at Nan Mu to look at the wheelchair. You Nan Mu turned back to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou ignored him. He turned around, got into his wheelchair, and wheeled himself out of the room. Whats wrong? Nan Mu had always been sharp, so he could sense that Huo Xunzhou was acting strangely. Huo Xunzhou continued to ignore him. He could only turn to Lin Shanchu. Mr. Huo, can I tell him? Lin Shanchu asked. Huo Xunzhou opened the door. Lin Shanchu deliberately raised her voice. Well, it wasnt anything big. I just Lin Shanchu! Huo Xunzhous tone was quick and anxious. At the same time, he looked flustered and exasperated. Nan Mu was perplexed. He had a feeling that something exciting had just happened. Lin Shanchu smiled gently. I mean, I just personally told Mr. Huo something important. Oh Nan Mu still looked suspicious. Li MO was standing guard at the door. When he saw Huo Xunzhouing out in a flustered state, his eyes widened in shock. When Li MO had left earlier, didnt his big brother emit an aura that threatened to kill those who provoked him? It had only been ten minutes. How did Huo Xunzhou be this pathetic all of a sudden? Li MO looked into the room and saw Lin Shanchu. who was smiling. He secretly gave Lin Shanchu a thumbs up. Then, he mouthed two words to her. Youre awesome! Lin Shanchu tilted her head and smiled while looking extremely harmless. When Nan Mu heard that Lin Shanchu had fainted in the training room, he rushed over immediately. Is your body okay? Im fine. Lin Shanchu climbed back onto the bed. Since she was already here, she naturally had to pretend to be a patient. Are you able to perform Death of the Universe? Nan Mu wanted to talk to her about this matter earlier. It doesnt matter if I can do that or not. I still need to perform it. Lin Shanchu leaned against the headboard. Her skin was fair, and her tone waszy, but her eyes were unusually firm. Nan Mu dragged a chair over to the bed and sat down. Can you tell me the truth? If you cant do it, I can help you think of a way. Nan Mu previously thought that Lin Shanchu looked weak, but now that she was lying on the hospital bed, she really looked like a patient. He was really afraid that she would not be able to withstand the high-intensity training. If anything were to happen to Lin Shanchu, Nan Mu wouldnt be able to face Xunzhou. Its fine. Lin Shanchu shook her head. Okay, then. Good luck! Although Nan Mu wasnt confident, he had nothing to say since Huo Xunzhou already stated that Lin Shanchu knew what she was doing. As soon as Nan Mu left, the systems voice sounded in Lin Shanchus mind. The system eximed, [Its moving! Its moving!] Lin Shanchu asked, Whats moving? The system exined, [The rtionship is progressing! Huo Xunzhous rtionship is really moving forward!] Lin Shanchu muttered, Its really effective The system was so excited that it was on the verge of tears. [Your health points have increased as well. Dating an extremely popr character and making intimate contact with him really is effective!] Lin Shanchu asked, Then, can this effectst till Im done with the first public showdown? The system replied, [That wont do! Your body is like a battery thats about to run out. You can only rely on charging to keep you alive, so its best to kiss Huo Xunzhou every day.] Lin Shanchu frowned. [Cant I just hug him?] The system exined, [The most emotional moment was triggered when you kissed his hand. When you fell into his arms, there wasnt any progress in his rtionship bar. Then again, your acting skills are really good! Even when you were faking your fall, you didnt show any traces of acting!] Heh! Lin Shanchu sneered in response. Thanks. The system replied, [Youre wee! Now that youve kissed his hand, next time you can kiss his mouth! If you were to perform actions that are even more intimate, the effect would definitely be better.] Lin Shanchu asked, Are you even a legitimate system? The system replied, [Im a legitimate system with an authentic serial number! You can check it out yourself!] Lin Shanchu decided to appease the system. Fine. Onest question.. Why did you hide whenever Huo Xunzhou appeared? Chapter 79 - 79: You Should Beg Properly Chapter 79: You Should Beg Properly Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The system was silent for a moment before answering very seriously, [Would you believe me if I said that the spotlight was too bright and affected my performance?] I believe you, Lin Shanchu replied. The system was touched. [So, you still trust me!] Lin Shanchu ruthlessly broke its fantasy. You couldnt do much even if Huo Xunzhou werent here. The system was speechless. It also felt insulted. It began to carefully recall what it had done for Lin Shanchu during this period of time. After thinking for a long time, it realized that it did not help Lin Shanchu at all. So, it stopped talking. Itpletely shut down on its own. There was a knock on the door. Come in. The door was pushed open, and the director came in. He brought a few staff members with him. Wen Tongtong followed the group from behind. Are you all right? The director walked over and asked anxiously. The key element of poprity was still fine when she was recording the program in the morning. Why did she suddenly faint and end up in the infirmary It was quite worrying. I wont die for the time being. Lin Shanchus mouth twitched. She leanedzily on the bed while looking very lifeless. The directors expression changed. Youre the key element of poprity in this show! You cant die! Lin Shanchu was speechless. She Imew that it was impossible for the director, who only had eyes for viewership ratings, to care about her. Im fine. I can hold on till the first public showdown. You should leave. Lin Shanchu found him annoying and waved him away. Im relieved to hear that. The director also felt weirded out. He would subconsciously believe whatever Lin Shanchu said to him. The staff members asked about Lin Shanchus health for a bit before leaving with the director. In the end, only Wen Tongtong was left. Are you really all right? she asked as she walked to the bed. Lin Shanchu said without much emotion, Dont worry, I wont let our performance crumble. Wen Tongtong was worried that Lin Shanchus poor health would affect the rehearsal. When Wen Tongtong turned to leave, she stopped after taking two steps. I went to the washroom just now and saw Xia Jinmeng and Yun Wu talking andughing together, she said with aplicated expression. Oh, Lin Shanchu replied. Wen Tongtong frowned. Arent you Is there anything else? Lin Shanchu asked. Xia Jinmeng has always found you an eyesore. She must have sought Yun Wu out to continue messing with you. Arent you worried at all? Lin Shanchus calm reaction made Wen Tongtong a little angry. Lin Shanchu seemed to have always been like this. No matter what happened, she could deal with it calmly. To put it bluntly, she didnt care about anything or anyone. She seemed gentle and polite to everyone, but in reality, she was extremely arrogant and arrogant. It made people jealous of her. Lin Shanchu moved around so that she could change her posture. Xia Jinmeng hates you more than she hates me now that were in the same group. You should worry about yourself. Im your groupmate. If something happens to me, can our group still rehearse for the show? Seeing as her thoughts were exposed, Wen Tongtong threatened Lin Shanchu immediately. Lin Shanchu did not buy it. Its easier to make group formations with five people. You You should beg properly. The reason why Wen Tongtong joined Lin Shanchus team was not that she had a change of heart and decided to side with justice. Instead, it was because she had fallen out with Xia Jinmeng, who had connections with many students. Wen Tongtong would definitely be isted and targeted if she went to another group. Although she had been frightened by Lin Shanchu before, when she thought about how Lin Shanchu was willing to help a total newbie like Ning Yunxi, she felt that Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng were different. Therefore, she came to Lin Shanchu to seek protection. She thought that she had hidden it well, but she did not expect Lin Shanchu to see through it all. Wen Tongtong lowered her head in embarrassment. I wont cause you any trouble. I just want to carry out my performance properly. She lowered her stance. Her tone was much more sincere. Make good use of your time to practice. Lin Shanchu originally just wanted Wen Tongtong to show her attitude. Compared to Lu Shiyuan, Wen Tongtongs little tricks were nothing. When Wen Tongtong went out, she bumped into Yun Wu. Lin Shanchu! Yun Wu didnt look at Wen Tongtong as she rushed to the bedside. I just heard that you fainted in the training room! She and Lin Shanchu were not in the same training room, so her news was a little outdated. Im probably a little tired from practicing too rigorously, but Im fine now. Lin Shanchu nced at the clock on the wall. It was time to return to the training room. Yun Wu helped her off the bed. She was relieved to see Lin Shanchu doing fine. I saw Wen Tongtong just now. Shes actually starting to care about you. Has she turned over a new leaf? Do you think Wen Tongtong is a bad person? Lin Shanchu asked with a smile. Isnt that the case? Yun Wu was puzzled. Lin Shanchus gaze deepened. People will always do something shady for their own interests. There are no absolute good or bad people in this world. Lets not talk about her. Yun Wu did not understand a single word. Anyway, I know you wont do anything to hurt others. Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks. Then, she asked in a serious tone, What if Ive done that? Is there a possibility that you feel that youve hurt the other party, but the other party doesnt feel that youve hurt them? Yun Wu thought about it seriously. The other party didnt feel hurt? Lin Shanchu had pretended to fall into Huo Xunzhous arms, so she felt guilty for lying to him. Huo Xunzhou did look very angry at that time. However, after she confessed, he wasnt angry anymore. He evenughed. The things that he said afterward seemed to be acquiescing to her riding off the poprity actions. Her thoughts were all over the ce. She couldnt help but think of the good thing that she had done out of infatuation in the end. What are you thinking about? Yun Wu stretched out her hand and waved in front of Lin Shanchu. Its nothing. Lin Shanchu hurriedly shook her head. But youre blushing. Yun Wu poked Lin Shanchus face. Its hot, Lin Shanchu replied expressionlessly. Yun Wu nced at the air conditioner. Its 18 degrees Youll be my favorite little sister if you dont speak up. Lin Shanchu used her ultimate move. Yun Wu shut up immediately and even made a zipping gesture near her lips. She widened her eyes cutely while trying to show Lin Shanchu just how obedient she was. When the two of them went to their respective training rooms and separated, Yun Wu pointed to her lips once again. Lin Shanchuughed. Go ahead. Yun Wu was a stickler for ritualistic gestures, so she made another zipping gesture near her lips. Xia Jinmeng sought me out earlier She told Lin Shanchu about Xia Jinmengs n in detail. After Lin Shanchu listened to everything, she was silent for two seconds. When the timees, just follow her n and take me there. Okay. I wont be eating with you for the next few days. Yun Wu pouted, clearly unhappy with that. Okay, she said. Lin Shanchu smiled and patted her head. Good girl. Ill cook for you when I have the chance. My cooking is very delicious.. Chapter 80 - 80: Counterattack Chapter 80: Counterattack Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The intimate contact with Huo Xunzhou was really effective. For the next two days, Lin Shanchus physical condition was very good. As soon as she opened her eyes, the system reported her physical condition to her. [Your health points are about to run out. Pleaseplete missions as soon as possible to exchange for health points.] Then, an rm sounded. Lin Shanchu carried her clothes while walking to the bathroom. Will Huo Xunzhou be here today? The system replied, [I cant monitor the movements of the perfect character.] Lin Shanchuughed at it. Just say it if you dont know where he is. Theres no need to beat around the bush and find excuses for yourself. The system was speechless. There was no way to refute Lin Shanchu. If it were to copse one day, Lin Shanchu would be the greatest contributor to its copse. As a professional system, it reminded Lin Shanchu, [Ji Yuan will being to the festival group today.] I see. No wonder the system wanted her to have a romantic scandal with Ji Yuan. When Lin Shanchu went to the cafeteria for breakfast, she heard someone mention that Ji Yuan had been invited to be a temporary assistant instructor. She hadnt eaten with Yun Wu for the past two days. She was on her own during that period of time. After a quick meal, she went to the training room. When she pushed the door open, she realized that there was no one inside. Lin Shanchu stood by the door and did not go in directly. She felt that something was off. After looking around, she finally realized what was wrong. The position of the camera was not right. There was an additional camera positioned directly opposite the door. There must be a reason behind the production crews arrangement. There was most likely someone behind the door. Lin Shanchu clutched her stomach in response. She pretended to be unwell and was ready to head toward the washroom. She did not forget to close the door behind her when she left. Ji Yuan, who was hiding behind the door, was extremely puzzled. He asked the camera in a breathy whisper, Why did she leave? The fans, who came to the live broadcast room to see Ji Yuan, were howling withughter. [Hahahaha! Poor Yuanyuan wasted his time hiding there!] [Ive never watched this show before, but I heard that Lin Shanchu is on the wild side.] [Really? But she looks so gentle.] [Be careful, Yuanyuan!] Forget it. Since no one ising, Ill go out and take a look, Ji Yuan said as he opened the door. Then, he mumbled to himself, Theres no one here. At this moment, Lin Shanchu suddenly stuck out her head from the side. Hey, Ji Yuan! Bam! Ji Yuan, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was so frightened that he mmed into the door. However, he only hit the brim of his cap, so his cap was knocked askew. Didnt you leave already? Ji Yuan was dumbfounded. Lin Shanchu pointed to the extra camera position. I thought there might be someone behind the door. Speechless, Ji Yuan felt that he was reduced to an idiot. Thementers wereughing at Ji Yuan. [Hahaha! Ji Yuan is so silly!] [He hid for half an hour, but he ended up getting scared by the girl!] [Guys, hurry up and edit the clip so that you can upload it on the to embarrass Yuanyuan!] [As expected of valedictorians. Not only is she smart, but she also reacts quickly.] [How can you guys stillugh at this? Yuanyuan was so scared that he mmed his head on the door! My heart hurts for him!] [I hate fake fans like you who feel bad for idols! Yuanyuan isnt that weak! Wasnt he just about to scare Lin Shanchu? Besides, he only hit the brim of the hat, not his head!] Hello, Mr. Ji Yuan, Im Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu nodded slightly while greeting Ji Yuan. I know you! Ji Yuans facial features were exquisite. His eyes were very bright when he smiled. Nan Mu always had an eye for talent. Ji Yuans appearance was naturally top-notch in the entertainment industry. At this time, the other members had also returned to the training room one after another. The system did not forget its previous task. [I dont think Huo Xunzhou ising today. Why dont you try starting a romantic scandal with Ji Yuan?] Lin Shanchu ignored it. [Its simple like how you pretended to fall into Huo Xunzhous armsst time.] The system continued to persuade her. Heh. Lin Shanchu sneered and blocked the system. As a new top celebrity, romantic scandals involving Ji Yuan would lower his business value. At that time, he would lose a portion of his resources. Lu Shiyuan would definitely seize this opportunity to promote his celebrities and snatch Ji Yuans resources. This was much more serious than being harassed by Ji Yuans fans. If it wasnt for the fact that the system had been particrly useless from the beginning, she would have suspected that it was a spy sent by Lu Shiyuan. Ji Yuan was in charge of guiding the singing and dancing groups. Perform the dance for me. He stood in front of the group with a serious look on his face, which waspletely different from the dumbfounded look he had when he was scared by Lin Shanchu and got his cap knocked off. As he watched, his brows gradually furrowed. Ji Yuan only spoke after everyone had finished dancing. Have you guys been practicing hard these past two days? One of the groupmates looked in Lin Shanchus direction. We did practice. Its just that someones been in poor health recently and ended up dying our progress This groupmate was different from Wen Tongtong and Ning Yunxi. She joined Lin Shanchus group in the end because she had no choice. She had always felt that Lin Shanchu was unprofessional. Hence, she was unconvinced that Lin Shanchu was deserving of first ce. Who are you referring to? Ji Yuan asked despite knowing the answer. Everyone knows that, the groupmate replied. Wen Tong let out a sneer. When did Lin Shanchu dy our progress other than the first day due to her health issues? Youre the worst dancer among us. No one pointed it out in front of you because they wanted to protect your pride. Did you seriously think youre this good at dancing? Thements went wild. [Did I miss something? Wen Tongtong is actually speaking up for Lin Shanchu!] [Um Why am I shipping them already?] [Theyre all fighting amongst each other instead of working together. Its impossible for them to perform well] Wen Tongtongs teammates face turned beet red before draining to stark white. She refuted stubbornly, Well, all of you defend Lin Shanchu! As a straight man, Ji Yuan hated girl fights the most. Shut up and let your actions do the talking for you! You two can have a dance-off! Ji Yuan gestured for everyone to back off and make room for Lin Shanchu and the groupmate to have a dance-off. Lin Shanchu had been in good health for the past two days, so she had been practicing seriously. When she returned to the dormitory at night, Yun Wu would also secretly give her special treatment by mentoring her dance moves. Her weak female lead aura was not worth mentioning in front of absolute strength. Sometimes, Lin Shanchu felt that Yun Wu was the one who had the script for the female lead. Therefore, when she and the groupmate battled it out, it was clear who was stronger. Thementers were surprised. [Lin Shanchu is awesome! She can perform the whole dance perfectly, not to mention her moves are on point!] [ Im starting to look forward to the performance of Death of the Universe during the first public showdown. [Dont get too cocky. This isnt just Lin Shanchus performance; its a group performance.] [Thats true. This teammates performance is quite bad] Ji Yuan immediately took out his phone and showed everyone thements. Are you convinced? he asked. The groupmate nodded darkly. This is teamwork. Everyone has to work together. Ji Yuan put away his phone and started correcting the groups movements. After two rounds, Lin Shanchu could feel the obviousck of physical strength, Since there was a guest taking on the role of an assistant instructor, Huo Xunzhou the stage witness should make his appearance on the set. However, it was already lunchtime, so why was he still nowhere to be seen? At this moment, Lin Shanchu caught a glimpse of Nan Mu standing at the door.. Chapter 81 - 81: Big Sister Lin Contributed to the Success I Have Today Chapter 81: Big Sister Lin Contributed to the Sess I Have Today Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Even Nan Mu was here. Would Huo Xunzhou be far away? Ji Yuan was correcting Ning Yunxis movements. Lin Shanchu snuck toward the door while he was not paying attention. Ji Yuan turned around and saw Lin Shanchu sneaking to the door. He was silent for a moment before he pretended to not see her. Lets do it again. Thementers were puzzled. [Lin Shanchu ran away! Didnt you see it, Yuanyuan?] [Is it possible that he deliberately let her go?] [Thats possible. After all, Lin Shanchu is his benefactor.] [Whats with the whole benefactor thing?] [Lin Shanchu was the one who exposed Fu Jues incident] The audience in the live broadcast room tacitly replied with a wave ofughter. Nan Mu had been watching from the door for a while. When he saw Lin Shanchuing over, he said with a look of admiration, Not bad. Lin Shanchu replied half-heartedly, Its nothing. Then, she kept looking behind Nan Mu. He didnte. Nan Mu had always been sharp. He knew who Lin Shanchu was looking for without asking. Why? Lin Shanchu was stunned. Nan Mu looked at her calmly before replying meaningfully, I also want to know the reason. Lin Shanchus expression stiffened. What did you do to my innocent Xunzhou in the infirmary that day? It was nothing. Lin Shanchus expression returned to normal. She looked very c alm. Then why did he say he wanted to leave the production crew? Nan Mu asked suspiciously. It It cant be that bad, right? She had only kissed his hand. He shouldnt be that petty. Nan Mu had an I knew something was up expression on his face. Only then did Lin Shanchu know that she had been tricked. Sure enough, the people around Huo Xunzhou were not easy to deal with. Lin Shanchu turned around and went back to the training room. I was lying! Nan Mu shouted at her from behind. Although Huo Xunzhou didnt say that he was leaving the show, he had been acting strangely for the past two days. He had called Huo Xunzhou today to ask him toe to the program group to see Lin Shanchu. In the end, Huo Xunzhou hung up the phone as soon as he heard Lin Shanchus name. Nan Mu turned around and walked out. He took out his phone and called Huo Xunzhou. What is it? Huo Xunzhous tone was cold. I saw Lin Shanchu just now. Her trainings going well. Oh, Huo Xunzhou replied. ording to Huo Xunzhous usual personality, he would usually say, If theres nothing else, Im hanging up. But he didnt say it today. He was clearly waiting for Nan Mu to continue. Nan Mu could sense a hint of anticipation in his silence. He was getting more and more curious about what had happened between the two of them in the infirmary that day. But he didnt dare to ask. Damn it! Nan Mu would have to think up a way to make that dumb Li MO ask Huo Xunzhou for him. She also asked why you didnte, Nan Mu continued. Hmm. What else? Thats all. What else do you want her to say? Nan Mu was confused. Beep- The call was hung up. Nan Mu looked at the disconnected call and fell into deep thought. Did he miss something? He felt that the progress of these two people was a little unusual All of the singing and dancing groups fell under Ji Yuans jurisdiction. After he taught Lin Shanchus group a few times, he went to the other groups. During lunch, Lin Shanchu met him again in the cafeteria. He sat down opposite Lin Shanchu and asked, Wheres Yun Wu? Why isnt she with you? Lin Shanchu looked at him in confusion. Ive been watching your show. Youre the closest to Yun Wu. You two are always the first ones to rush to the cafeteria. Without waiting for Lin Shanchu to speak, Ji Yuan continued, I noticed that you two didnt eat together these past two days. Did you two fight? .Do you have too much time on your hands? She really didnt expect that a top celebrity like Ji Yuan would have time to follow her show. Furthermore, he was a man. His focus was not on her beauty or performance, but rather, he was focused on her friendship with Yun Wu. Im quite busy, but I have some time to watch the show if I squeeze in. Ji Yuan chuckled. He didnt look very smart. Lin Shanchu didnt say anything. Also, she began to panic. If she allowed Ji Yuan to continue speaking like this, she would soon be torn apart by his fans. There are still cameras broadcasting in the cafeteria, she reminded. I know. I watched the episode when your friends came to visit you. Ji Yuan smiled. He was referring to the chaotic time when Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan came to visit Lin Shanchu. This top-ss young man really dared to say anything. Thements went ballistic. [Guys, am I seeing things? Is Lin Shanchu scared?] [Hahaha! Lin Shanchu has finally met her match! Ji Yuan is really daring!] [But Yuanyuans words can be easily misunderstood.] Ji Yuan stretched his neck and waved at the camera. He exined with a serious look on his face, Big Sister Lin has contributed to the sess I have today. Dont you guys agree with me, Circles? Circles was the name given to his fans. Thementers responded happily. [The Circles agree with you!] [Thank you for your support, Big Sister Lin!] [Hahaha! Big Sister Lin contributed to the sess!] [This is the first time Ive seen Lin Shanchus pupils tremble. Is Ji Yuan here to jinx her?] [Its been proven that Ji Yuan is aedian.] Lin Shanchu advised Ji Yuan with mixed feelings, Lets eat. The food in your cafeteria is pretty good, Ji Yuan muttered as he ate. In order to prevent Ji Yuan from making any more dangerousments. Lin Shanchu decided to ignore him. However, she soon realized that ignoring Ji Yuan did not work. Throughout the entire meal, he was talking to himself. That was until he saw Yun Wu walking over. Yun Wu is here to find you. Mr. Ji. Yun Wu looked at Ji Yuan. Ms. Yun, you are the teacher here. Ji Yuan was convinced of Yun Wus strength. The two of them modestly praised each other for a short while. Yun Wu finally had the chance to talk to Lin Shanchu. Lets chat. Ill be leaving first. Lin Shanchu left after bidding Ji Yuan goodbye. Ji Yuan looked at the back view of the two people leaving before turning to say to the camera happily, It seems that Big Sister Lin and Ms. Yun didnt fight after all. Hahaha! Thement section was filled withughter again. Yun Wu brought Lin Shanchu to the balcony that was located in the blind spot of the surveince cameras as mentioned by Xia Jinmeng. The balcony was a semi-open space. It was located right next to the corner of the stairs. There were stairs leading up and down. What do you want to talk about? Lin Shanchu nced at the corner of someones clothes poking out of the stairway above. Yun Wu followed her line of sight and gazed at the same spot as well. Youre very proud of yourself for getting first ce, arent you? So, the reason why youve been ignoring me recently is that I won first ce. Lin Shanchu sighed lightly. Do you think youre worthy of that rank? Yun Wu sneered. Are Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before asking in a choked voice, Are you like the others who think Im not worthy? Big Sister Slightly startled, Yun Wu subconsciously wanted to deny it. If thats the case, we have nothing to talk about! Lin Shanchu interrupted her in time. She was about to leave after she finished speaking. Noticing this, Xia Jinmeng quickly ran down the stairs. Yun Wu, hurry up and grab her! Yun Wu was a little hesitant. Lin Shanchu shot her a look. Yun Wu pursed her lips and grabbed Lin Shanchu firmly.. Do you think well let you leave so easily? Chapter 82 - 82: The Devil Dressed Like An Angel Chapter 82: The Devil Dressed Like An Angel Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion She adhered to the principle of making a good show. Lin Shanchu immediately showed a look of disbelief. Yun Wu, you and Xia Jinmeng you two Although it was an act, Lin Shanchus tone was so sad and real that Yun Wu began to me herself. Yun Wu paused and turned to look at Xia Jinmeng. What do we do next? Xia Jinmeng nced downstairs and sneered. Push her down the stairs. If Lin Shanchu was pushed down from here and survived the fall without breaking her leg, Xia Jinmeng would consider it a total loss. Once the performance of Death of the Universe was ruined, Lin Shanchu would have to pack up and leave. The first ce could only belong to Xia Jinmeng! Noticing that Yun Wu didnt move for a long time, Xia Jinmeng impatiently urged, Do it! Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu looked at each other before thetter retreated to the side automatically. Xia Jinmeng, you still havent improved at all. Lin Shanchus lips curved up slightly with disdain written all over her eyes. Youre even worse than Wen Tongtong. At least Wen Tongtong kept a clear head and knew her own situation well. Meanwhile, Xia Jinmeng was still using the same method that she had failed to use on Lin Shanchu before. Xia Jinmeng gritted her teeth. You useless piece of trash! What right do you have to look down on me? In terms of strength, Lin Shanchu could notpare to her at all. However, Lin Shanchu always looked down on her. Just the sight of her made Xia Jinmeng hate her so much. Xia Jinmeng walked toward Lin Shanchu aggressively with a cold and dark expression on her face. Lin Shanchu was already ready for Xia Jinmengs advances. She dodged while raising her foot. Thud! Xia Jinmeng was kicked to the corner of the wall. However, Lin Shanchu wasnt the one who kicked her. She turned her head to look at Yun Wu. Yun Wu stretched the leg that kicked Xia Jinmeng while exining, I practiced martial arts when I was young. Lin Shanchu silently retracted her foot. Oh. As expected, Yun Wu was supposed to be the female lead, right? She was better than Lin Shanchu in every way. Hell. You two Only then did Xia Jinmeng realize that Yun Wu didnt fall out with Lin Shanchu at all. Lin Shanchu then crouched down in front of Xia Jinmeng. She had a smile on her face and looked no different from usual, but Xia Jinmeng was creeped out by her smile. Xia Jinmeng was so frightened that her pupils shrank and her eyshes trembled. What What are you doing? Do you know what the difference is between you and Tang Qidai? Lin Shanchu gripped Xia Jinmengs chin. Her overly gentle voice sounded a little strange. Under Xia Jinmengs frightened gaze, moved closer to her. She only told a small lie and got everything she wanted, whereas you have to take the risk of being discovered and push me down the stairs just to barely keep your first ce Lin Shanchu suddenly stopped. That was because she could see another emotion in Xia Jinmengs eyes other than fear. It was disgust. Lin Shanchu tentatively stepped back. The disgust in Xia Jinmengs eyes faded a little. She leaned forward. Xia Jinmengs eyes were filled with disgust again. She even looked as if she wanted to stay as far away from her as possible. Last time, Xia Jinmeng seemed to have asked her if she didnt like men Lin Shanchu was like a child who had discovered something new. She stared at Xia Jinmeng with interest. Xia Jinmeng, youre very pretty. Youre my type. As Lin Shanchu spoke, she stretched out her hand and gently stroked Xia Jinmengs face. Yun Wus eyes widened. She was confused by the turn of things as well. Was this a scene that a one-year-and-220-month-old baby like her could watch? Her older sisters sexual orientation seemed to be different from hers. That was not the main point! The main point was, why did her sister like Xia Jinmeng? Yun Wu was clearly stronger than Xia Jinmeng, okay? Lin Shanchus hand slid down Xia Jinmengs cheek. It streaked down her neck. Then, it reached her corbone. Xia Jinmeng couldnt take it anymore. She screamed while crawling to the side so that she could get up and escape. In her panic, she didnt see that the stairs were on the other side. So, she fell straight down the stairs. The screams echoed in the corridor. My foot Xia Jinmeng tried to stand up, but her foot was in too much pain. Just as she got up, she fell back down. She subconsciously looked up and wanted to ask for help. What came into view was Lin Shanchu, who was standing high above the stairs. Lin Shanchu looked down at her. Her beautiful eyes were rendered by a faint smile, making her as beautiful as a goddess, but she also resembled a devil dressed like an angel. Once Lin Shanchu locked onto her target She would immediately take their life. Xia Jinmeng, who was a few meters away from her, felt as if she was being strangled by an invisible chain. No matter how hard she tried, she couldnt make a sound. How can there be such a stupid person? Yun Wu walked over and looked at Xia Jinmeng in confusion. She had been standing behind Lin Shanchu, so she did not see Lin Shanchus expression from the beginning to the end. Although she was quite puzzled about Lin Shanchus behavior of touching Xia Jinmengs face, she did not think much about it. She only thought that Xia Jinmeng had fallen down by ident. Lin Shanchu agreed with a serious face. Its true that shes a little dumb. Lets go find the doctor. Lin Shanchu turned around and walked out first. When she opened the safety door and walked out, Lin Shanchu saw Ji Yuan walking over from not far away. Big Sister Lin! The moment Ji Yuan saw her, he waved at her. Ji Yuan? Why hasnt he left yet? Yun Wu caught up with Lin Shanchu. A top celebrity like Ji Yuan had a lot of gigs. Even if My Stage was Tianzhou Medias own show, it was already good enough that he could spare half a day to show his face. Maybe hes free for now, Lin Shanchu said lightly. Ji Yuan had already walked in front of the two of them. This ce is quite big. Its much better than the ce we lived in during the talent show I was in. Back then He chatted with them like they were old friends. Did you guys hear something? Ji Yuan suddenly paused. Of course, Lin Shanchu heard it. It was Xia Jinmengs cry for help. Yun Wu did not speak. Instead, she looked at Lin Shanchu in silence. I heard it. It seems to being from behind. Lin Shanchu turned around and pushed open the safety door. Ji Yuan and the girls sent Xia Jinmeng to the infirmary. You sprained your foot. Fortunately, you didnt hurt your bone. Its just a soft tissue injury. Youll recover after two to three weeks of rest. Xia Jinmeng got agitated the moment she heard the doctors words. Theres still a little over a week before the first public showdown! I cant rest C I still have to practice my dance! Strenuous exercise may cause irreversible damage, the doctor said with a serious expression. Xia Jinmengs face darkened. I heard that Jinmeng was injured. The director pushed the door open and walked in with the staff members. Xia Jinmeng didnt perform well the previous two times, so she didnt manage to gain much poprity. However, her fans were very good at hyping her up, so she was still on the production crews main focus list. The thought of being unable to perform onstage agitated Xia Jinmeng even more. She shouted at the director. Director, it was Lin Shanchu who pushed me! She called me to a ce without surveince cameras and pushed me down the stairs on purpose! The ward instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other. No one dared to speak.. Chapter 83 - 83: Romantic Scandal Chapter 83: Romantic Scandal Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Wu was two years younger than Lin Shanchu. Usually, no matter how cold she was in front of outsiders, she was still just a little girl. Although they werent the ones who pushed Xia Jinmeng, they had something to do with it. Yun Wu grabbed Lin Shanchu arm uneasily. Lin Shanchu gently patted Yun Wus hand. She walked out of her spot and looked straight at Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng, you do realize that you cant say whatever you want. Xia Jinmeng was so terrified that she didnt dare to look Lin Shanchu in the eye. Director, believe me! It was really Lin Shanchu who pushed me! Shes afraid that Ill take her first ce, so she wants me to be injured and not be able to perform on the stage! Calm down, the director said with aplicated expression. We can talk it out. Some of the young girls nowadays were coaxed by their fans to the point that they couldnt see the reality. Other than her fans, Xia Jinmeng had no social connections at all. There were a lot of passers-by who followed Lin Shanchu. There wereizens who had been following the love triangle of Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidai for a long time. There were also Tang Qidais haters. The remaining rtionship fans of Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu were still around. Finally, there were many fans who followed Ji Yuan to this show today In any case, all kinds of strange things could attract attention. Xia Jinmeng wasnt listening to anything right now. Just because her fianc sponsored the show, youre all biased toward her? Lin Shanchus ears were buzzing with Xia Jinmengs shrieking voice. She frowned and said impatiently, In that case, lets call the police. Xia Jinmengs expression changed as she turned to look at the director. Okay. The director nodded in agreement. Well call the police. Xia Jinmeng was one of the key students on the list, so the production crew had some understanding of her. In this industry, whether it was in front of the stage or behind the scenes, one could not survive if they werent smart. The people in the production crew werent blind. Naturally, they noticed all of Xia Jinmengs actions. If she insisted on making a scene, the production crew wouldnt let her have her way. Jinmeng, do you agree to call the police? the director asked. Xia Jinmeng wilted immediately as if she was deted balloon. Its not a big deal. Lets forget it. After this incident, she also realized that Lin Shanchu was not as stupid as Tang Qidai had said. On the contrary, Lin Shanchu was very cunning. There were no surveince cameras at the ce where she had an ident. Even if she insisted that Lin Shanchu was the one who pushed her, Lin Shanchu should have already thought of a way to escape. In short, Xia Jinmeng wouldnt get anything out of it even if she called the police. However, she would not let Lin Shanchu off just like that! The director didnt say anything more. Heforted Xia Jinmeng briefly before leaving. Lin Shanchu followed the director out. When she reached the door, she could vaguely hear Xia Jinmeng talking to someone inside. Just as she was about to turn back to look, the director called her to the side. Lin Shanchu only had time to see half of the mans side profile from the half-closed door of the ward. It was a staff member of the production crew. Did Xia Jinmeng know someone from the production crew? After the director finished speaking, he noticed that Lin Shanchu did not respond for a long time. Lin Shanchu, Im talking to you. Are you listening? Yes. Lin Shanchu replied half-heartedly. What did you just say? The director repeated in irritation, Wheres my recording pen? The young girl had borrowed a recording pen from him two days ago, iming that she wanted to record songs and practice hard. How can a prominent director like you be so stingy? The recording pen that the director had lent her was quite old. She didnt expect him to want it back. The director quickly shook his head. I dont want you to return it. That recording pen is too old, so its not working well. I wanted to get you a new one. Lin Shanchu rejected his good intentions. Thank you. The old one can be used. She left after she finished speaking. The director touched the top of his head, which was gradually thinning because of the ratings. He thought with some relief that Lin Shanchu was a nice girl who was thrifty and simplistic. Most importantly, she could increase the ratings with just her presence. You even brought a recording pen with you? Yun Wu asked her on the way back. Yes. Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks when she heard this. She took the recording pen out of her pocket and deleted all of the recordings. Why did you delete all of them? Yun Wu was surprised. I borrowed it to record songs, so Im clearing the memory. Lin Shanchu had originally thought that she could record something useful when she met Xia Jinmeng with the recording pen. Unfortunately, Xia Jinmeng was too disappointing. All Lin Shanchu did was touch Xia Jinmengs face and neck, and she got so scared that she fell down the stairs. In the ward. Jiang Ziyu. Xia Jinmeng looked at the man with the work pass in front of her after calling out his name. I havent seen you for so many years. Youve changed a lot. Is there anything you want me to tell Daidai? Jiang Ziyu looked up and smiled at her. But one thing hasnt changed, Xia Jinmeng said sarcastically. Youre still the same as before. All you talk about is Daidai. Jiang Ziyu smiled, but he didnt speak. He had a very neat crew cut and worked in the studio all year round. His skin was a little abnormally pale, and his facial features were quite in. When he smiled, he looked gentle and honest. Seeing this, Xia Jinmeng decided to cut to the chase without saying much. I want to talk to Daidai on the phone. Tang Qidai was really amazing. She was able to coax every man around her. Whether it was Lu Shiyuan or Jiang Ziyu, they were both devoted to her. Although Xia Jinmeng didnt want to admit it, Lin Shanchu was right about one thing. In terms of coaxing men, she was indeed not as good as Tang Qidai. All right. Jiang Ziyu took out his phone and called Tang Qidai. The news of Xia Jinmengs injury spread among the members. Many members went to the infirmary to visit Xia Jinmeng. Wen Tongtong didnt go. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the training room, Wen Tongtong lowered her voice and asked Lin Shanchu, Did you do it? Lin Shanchus physical condition today was bad. After practicing for a while, she had to lie on the floor to rest for a while. At the moment, she was resting on the ground with her eyes closed. What? She did not even open her eyes. You know what Im talking about, Wen Tongtong said. Lin Shanchuughed before asking, Why would I do that? Whats the point? Wen Tongtong was stumped. Lin Shanchu was right. What would Lin Shanchu have to gain by pushing Xia Jinmeng downstairs? Lin Shanchu was already in the first ce, so there was no reason for her to do this. However, she still had a vague feeling that this matter was rted to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu only opened her eyes after Wen Tongtong left. Her body started to hurt again. This body really acted up whenever it wanted to. It was as if it was toying around with her. Idiot. She released the blocked handyman system in her mind. Huo Xunzhou wasnt on the show today. She had to think of a way to get some health points to sustain her life. Just as she unblocked the system, a mechanical notification sounded in her mind. [Congrattions to the host forpleting the romantic scandal mission. The health card has been issued and can be activated at any time.] Lin Shanchu was speechless. She was in the training room, so how was it possible for the scandal to spread? Whats going on? Lin Shanchu was surprised. She didnt know what the system was doing, but it made a lot of noise. In the end, it only had time to say one sentence. [Huo Xunzhou hase. ] Chapter 84 - 84: Why Don’t You Give Me Some Hints, Mr. Huo? Chapter 84: Why Dont You Give Me Some Hints, Mr. Huo? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu was still thinking about what the romantic scandal was about when the system went silent. She sat up from the ground and saw Huo Xunzhou surrounded by a crowd. The light from a perfect character was quite dazzling. No matter where he went, he would be the center of attention. She had already obtained the health points, so she didnt want to join in the fun. She tried to activate her health points. [Beep!] [Your health card has been activated. Its valid for 30 days.] Lin Shanchu asked, Do you have to be so stingy? Cant it be counted as 31 days? The system did not respond. The changes in her body were unusually obvious. The pain disappeared. There was a strange sense of lightness. Was this the feeling of being healthy? Lin Shanchu was so excited that she did splits on the spot. The feeling of being healthy was too good! She couldnt help but roll on the ground. When she got up to tidy her clothes, she realized that everyones eyes were on her. Lin Shanchus entire body froze. Thementers wereughing at her. [Did Ji Yuan infect Lin Shanchu with his silly behavior?] [I dont understand what shes doing, but I think its funny! Hahaha!] [Come on, its super cool for a beautifuldy to roll around.] [Dont stop me! I love beautiful and crazy women!] Everyone looked like they wanted tough but were too embarrassed to. Huo Xunzhou was the only one with a cold expression. Lin Shanchu,e here for a moment. I have something to tell you. Nan Mu tried not tough as he called out to her. Oh, Lin Shanchu replied. It couldnt be Did he want to have a private conversation with her about her rolling in public? Lin Shanchu and Nan Mu went to the meeting room. Youre on the trending list again. Nan Mu clearly emphasized the word again. So it wasnt because of the rolling. Is it because of the romantic scandal? Lin Shanchu remembered that the system had told her that she hadpleted the task of starting a romantic scandal. After she finished speaking, she nced at Huo Xunzhou, who was drinking water not far away from her. Could it be a scandal with Huo Xunzhou? Could it be that someone secretly took pictures of her kissing Huo Xunzhous hand and posted them online? I guess you can call it that. Nan Mu nodded with a strange expression. He handed the phone to Lin Shanchu. The headline in bold was very eye-catching. [Lin Shanchu, the first-ce holder of thest episode of My Stage, is suspected to have a special sexual orientation.] [ording to an insider, the controversial member of My Stage, Lin Shanchu, is suspected of being gay. She has been harassing other members in the training camp for a long time] [Gentleness and kindness are just her weapons to win the favor of other members. Netizens who have followed My Stage should know that Lin Shanchu is very popr in the training camp. She has had close contact with many members] There were already thousands ofments under the news article. [Is this true? Its so disgusting!] [Oh my god! She even touched Anans face in the past! Yuck!] [I was very puzzled as to why someone from a prominent background like her didnt put on any airs. She was especially nice to the other young girls. It turns out that this is the reason!] [Why Why do I feel like this is quite interesting?] [If you like a heterosexual girl, would you still find interesting if that girl was touched by Lin Shanchu?] [What she said about proving herself must be a pretense! This kind of person is definitely a malignant tumor to have entered a girl group talent show!] [No wonder Lu Shiyuan got together with Tang Qidai. He also thinks that Lin Shanchu is disgusting. He must feel very wronged. What a poor guy] After reading the news, Lin Shanchu was silent. She actually thought that she could have a romantic scandal with Huo Xunzhou. She was definitely delusional. Well Nan Mu asked. What do you think of this? Lin Shanchu replied, I think the person who did this is very creative. Nan Mu was silent for a moment. What I mean is, can you guess who did this? Lin Shanchu thought about it and nodded. This definitely had something to do with Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng and Tang Qidai were the same. They only cared about benefits. Even if they had fallen out previously, they would still get back together again for the sake of amon goal. With Xia Jinmengs idea and Tang Qidai adding fuel to the fire, Lu Shiyuan, who was eager for her to be out of the entertainment industry, must have also given them a hand. They were a huge pile of trash! At this moment, there was a knock on the door. President Nan. It was the voice of Nan Mus assistant. Come in, Nan Mu called out. The assistant saw that Lin Shanchu was also there, so he looked a little hesitant. Just say it, Nan Mu said. The poprity of the trending topic cant be suppressed, the assistant replied. Lin Shanchu looked at Nan Mu in surprise. Are you helping me to suppress the poprity? Yup. Im your boss, after all. Nan Mu nodded. Of course, Ill help you suppress the poprity. Oh, right, Lin Shanchu muttered. She had almost forgotten that she was under a managementpany now. She was no longer an isted and helpless person. Nan Mu furrowed his brows slightly. He nced in Huo Xunzhous direction and deliberately raised his voice. It seems like Lu Shiyuan has joined the fun. Huo Xunzhou did not seem to hear him. He did not even look in his direction. Lin Shanchu was thinking about her own matters, so she did not notice Nan Mus actions. She smiled while saying, Theres no need to suppress the poprity. I have a way to get Lu Shiyuan to take the initiative to rify things for me. Nan mu wondered out loud, How can you still smile at a time like this He felt that Lin Shanchus idea was not reliable. Lu Shiyuan couldnt wait for Lin Shanchu to leave the show. How could he possibly help her? Lin Shanchus smile deepened. Im happy, so its natural for me to smile. Xia Jinmeng had unknowingly helped her out. Since Lin Shanchu was caught up in a romantic scandal, she ended up obtaining the health card from the system. As the saying goes, those who help themselves will be helped by the heavens. This was probably the case. When you start to save yourself, even the heavens will help you. Meanwhile, Nan Mu was speechless. He really could not understand Lin Shanchu. Li MO was right. Lin Shanchu and Xunzhou were a perfect match. The two of them were harder to understand than the other. Nan Mu decided to leave the meeting room to the two god-like people. Ill go out and make a phone call. When Nan Mu was in the office, Lin Shanchu didnt feel that anything was wrong. However, after he left her and Huo Xunzhou in the meeting room, she felt that something was wrong. Huo Xunzhou was still looking at his phone as if she was invisible. Since that was the case It should be fine if she were to sneak away, right? Huo Xunzhou, who had been focused on his phone, suddenly called out to her. Lin Shanchu. Did this man install a surveince camera in her head? Otherwise, how could she exin why he suddenly spoke up when she was about to leave? Lin Shanchu forcefully retracted her leg that had stepped out. Whats up, Mr. Huo? She had a smile on her face while acting nonchnt, but the words she said were very polite and distant. Huo Xunzhous originally indifferent face lost all its warmth in an instant. The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. An invisible sense of oppression came over. Dont you have anything to say to me? His maic voice was cold and inexplicably dangerous. Lin Shanchu instinctively felt that if she did not answer this question properly, the consequences she would have to suffer might be a little more serious. Why dont you give me some hints, Mr. Huo? she probed after some deliberation.. Chapter 85 - 85: A Cold and Distant Movie Star Like Him Was Actually Mischievous Chapter 85: A Cold and Distant Movie Star Like Him Was Actually Mischievous Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou couldnt help but chuckle out of anger. Didnt you ask Nan Mu why I didnte today? He must have gone crazy. That must be the reason why he rushed over to the set immediately after hearing Nan Mu tell him that Lin Shanchu asked about his absence. In the end, this heartless woman didnt even look at him. The more Huo Xunzhou thought about it, the angrier he got. He threw his phone on the table before loosening his cor in annoyance. Then, he got up and walked to the window. His silhouette clearly meant Im very angry but I wont say anything about it to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was not stupid. Huo Xunzhous behavior was so obvious that she naturally understood it. She pondered for a moment before slowly approaching Huo Xunzhou from behind. Im sorry, she said. Huo Xunzhou turned around and frowned. His expression clearly said, What the hell are you talking about? Lin Shanchu tried to analyze Huo Xunzhous expression. She had thought that Huo Xunzhou was still angry about her kissing his hand the other day. However, Huo Xunzhous confused expression did not seem like he was here to hear her apology. Lin Shanchu stared at him for a long time, but she could not guess what he was thinking. She might as well stop guessing. So, why didnt youe today? she asked. I was busy, Huo Xunzhou replied coldly. Then why are you here now? Lin Shanchu asked. Why do you care? Huo Xunzhou paused. I was just asking Lin Shanchu suddenly stopped. She recalled what Huo Xunzhou had said earlier. An arrogant and bold guess appeared in her mind. Could it be that Huo Xunzhou came here just because she had asked Nan Mu why he didnte? Was he that concerned about her? Seeing that Lin Shanchu suddenly stopped mid-sentence, Huo Xunzhou urged calmly, Speak up. His tone was no different from usual. It was probably just her imagination. Huo Xunzhou was the perfect character without any rtionship plot. He was just a career-minded person! No matter how twisted the plot was, it was impossible for him to have an emotional entanglement with the female lead of a sadist novel like her who lived at the bottom of the food chain. She kept silent, so Huo Xunzhou waited patiently. Ill be leaving then. Lin Shanchu pointed in the direction of the door. Huo Xunzhou looked at her with aplicated expression for a moment before sighing. What method are you going to use to get Lu Shiyuan toe forward and help you clear your name? It turned out that he had heard what she had said just now. Lin Shanchus eyes widened. Werent you ying on your phone just now? Huo Xunzhou just looked down at her, as if he had no intention of answering her question. Not only was Lin Shanchu not angry, but she also felt that it was very exciting to see a beautiful and good-looking man like Mr. Huo the movie star look cold and distant. Lin Shanchus lips curved upward while enunciating each word carefully. Im going to fight fire with fire. The young girl was obviously very satisfied with her n. Her face was full of confidence, and her cat-like clear eyes were shining. After she joined the production crew, Huo Xunzhou felt that she was different every time he saw her. She started smiling a lot, and her gaze started bing bright again. It was like water returning to a dried-up river that started toe back to life bit by bit. It was resilient, vivid, and extremely dazzling. Huo Xunzhous face revealed a smile that he did not notice. You should return. Arent you going to listen to my detailed n? At this time, Huo Xunzhou looked particrly easy to talk to, which made Lin Shanchu want to confide in him. The smile on Huo Xunzhous face became more obvious. Lu Shiyuans appearance was nothing more than an attempt to suppress you and force you to submit. If you do the opposite, he will be in a mess. At that time, the initiative will fall into your hands. He will not be able to control the situation. The smile on Lin Shanchus face gradually disappeared. As expected, not everyone could be a movie star that had won three awards. Huo Xunzhou was able to guess her thoughts in such a short time. However, Lin Shanchu did not intend to admit defeat just like that. So? What do you think I should do next? Maybe Huo Xunzhou just happened to guess what she was thinking. Next, youll have Nan Mu release the news that youre going to hold a press conference to admit that everything in the news article is true. Also, youll be making a public apology. As soon as Huo Xunzhou finished speaking, Lin Shanchus face becamepletely serious. Huo Xunzhou knew that he had guessed everything right, but his expression remained calm. He leaned over slightly so that his line of sight leveled Lin Shanchus eyes. His soft voice sounded nonchnt as he asked, What? Did I say something wrong? How could it be wrong? It was exactly the same. In the past, she had a weak personality, so Lu Shiyuan often used it to manipte her. This time, Lu Shiyuan probably thought that she would be afraid of making a big deal out of it, so she would beg for mercy from him. Once that happened, Lu Shiyuan would be able to manipte and control her like before. He had always enjoyed the feeling of being high and mighty and controlling the fate of others. Lu Shiyuan was also so conceited that he refused to believe that Lin Shanchu was no longer a pushover that could be manipted by others. Therefore, Lin Shanchu wanted to make this matter as big as possible! On the surface, she was still Lu Shiyuans fiance. If things got out of hand, it would hurt Lu Shiyuans reputation. The Lu Corporation would definitely be affected. At that time, Lu Shiyuan would only have two options. One, he could break off his engagement with Lin Shanchu and draw a clear line with her. Two, he coulde out and rify the matter. No matter which path Lu Shiyuan chose, it was still a win in Lin Shanchus book no matter what. She hoped that Lu Shiyuan would be sensible and break off the engagement with her. Huo Xunzhous face was very close to hers. Lin Shanchus heart palpitated under his burning gaze, prompting her to quickly take a step back. She put some distance between them. Mr. Huo, youre smart, she said seriously. Why dont you guess how Lu Shiyuan will deal with this? Im guessing that you wont get your wish this time, Shanshan. Huo Xunzhou slowly stood up, his alluring eyes showing a knowing smile. He could even tell that she hoped Lu Shiyuan would choose to cancel the marriage. They were clearly living in the same world constructed by the novel. Huo Xunzhou was smart, rich, and good-looking. From the start, he was already a movie star. However, Lin Shanchu only rediscovered her intelligence after going through her awakening. She already started her life in hell mode. Was this the difference in the world? Lin Shanchu was speechless. She was also a little angry. Youre not right, she said coldly. Lin Shanchu got angry. Huo Xunzhou only smiled and did not say anything. Goodbye! Lin Shanchu didnt know what was funny. So what if Huo Xunzhou is the perfect character? Fine. He was indeed amazing. He could also extend Lin Shanchus life. Huo Xunzhous maic voice came from behind. Take care, Shanshan. Lin Shanchu stumbled and almost fell to the ground. She seriously suspected that Huo Xunzhou was calling her so intimately on purpose to see her embarrass herself. To think that a cold and distant movie star like him was actually mischievous! Lin Shanchu quickly left the meeting room without looking back. The melodious sound of the piano in the restaurant created a nice atmosphere. The location was perfect for couples to date there. Brother Shiyuan, try this Tang Qidai put some food on Lu Shiyuans te with a gentle expression on her face. However, when she looked up, she saw Lu Shiyuan fiddling with his phone again. The smile on her face stiffened.. Chapter 86 - 86: Don ‘t Speak Nonsense, It Was A Compliment Chapter 86: Don t Speak Nonsense, It Was A Compliment Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Tang Qidai could no longer remember how many times Lu Shiyuan had checked his phone. She was the one who took the initiative to ask Lu Shiyuan out for this meal today. The main reason she asked Lu Shiyuan out for a meal was to test Lu Shiyuans attitude toward Lin Shanchus gay scandal. However, on the way here, Lu Shiyuan had been looking at his phone absentmindedly. Lu Shiyuan was still the same even when they were at the table. She was sitting right in front of him, but she didnt even have the chance to talk to him. Brother Shiyuan, are you worried about Shanshan? Tang Qidai suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and pretended to be understanding. Lu Shiyuan suddenly raised his head. Whats wrong with Lin Shanchu? Tang Qidais grip on her chopsticks tightened unconsciously. She had chatted about a lot of things with him before, but he didnt respond at all as if he hadnt heard her. However, when she mentioned Lin Shanchu the b*tch, Lu Shiyuan finally responded. As expected, she shouldnt have taken Lin Shanchu lightly. Everyone on My Stage is getting ready for their first public showdown, so the live broadcast room is temporarily shut down. I know youre worried about Shanshan. How about I apany you to the production crew to visit her tomorrow? Tang Qidais face didnt reveal any of her true emotions. Her voice was gentle and understanding. Lu Shiyuan couldnt help but me himself. Recently, both of them had been busy. They finally had time to have a meal together. Not only did he not talk to her properly, but he also made her worried. He put his phone aside. Youre always thinking about others, so you should think more about yourself. Theres no need to keep worrying about Lin Shanchu. She asked for it. At the mention of Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuans voice turned cold again. Tang Qidai was secretly delighted. But Shanshan is still participating in the talent show. The rumors on the inte have a big impact on her. I saw a lot of people scolding her on her Weibo before. Lets help her. Lu Shiyuan still loathed Lin Shanchu as usual. All Tang Qidai had to do was speak up for Lin Shanchu. The more Lu Shiyuan felt that she was kind, the more his heart ached for her. Lets eat. Dont mention her. It kills the mood. Lu Shiyuan grabbed some food for her. Tang Qidai picked up her bowl and shyly epted the food. Thank you, Brother Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan entered his study the moment he got home. He turned on hisputer with the intention to work, but he ended up clicking on Lin Shanchus Weibo page instead. Tust as Tang Oidai had said. Lin Shanchus Weibo was full ofments scolding her. During this period of time, Lin Shanchu frequently appeared on the trending list and earned enough poprity. Now that such news hade out, the number of people scolding her had also doubledpared to before. It immediately became a trending topic. Lu Shiyuan browsed through those unsightlyments scolding Lin Shanchu. A cold smirk curled on his lips. The young woman who had grown up with him was excruciatingly n?lVe at times. She was so naiVe that she thought that by hiding in a talent show and signing with Tianzhou Media, she would be able to leave him forever. How could Tianzhou Media be a match for the Lu Corporation? In the end, Lin Shanchu still had toe back and beg for mercy. She would have to beg for him to help her settle this matter. Lu Shiyuan could not help but chuckle when he imagined Lin Shanchuing back to beg him. Lin Shanchu would beg for his helptest by tomorrow. At the thought of this, Lu Shiyuan got up and left the study to go downstairs. When the older butler noticed Lu Shiyuaning downstairs, he asked respectfully, Do you have any orders for me, Master Lu? Clean the room across from mine. Yes, sir. Lu Shiyuan decided to make it clearer. Do it now. Is a guest visiting us? The old butler was a little surprised. Shes not a guest. Lu Shiyuan was in a good mood. He exined patiently, Lin Shanchu will be back tomorrow. Ms. Lin? The old butler remembered that Lin Shanchu had set the Lu residence on fire, so he was extremely puzzled. Ms. Lin was such a weak person. If she dared to set the house on fire, it was clear that she wanted to break off rtions with Master Lu. How could she have returned? However, Lu Shiyuan seemed to be in a good mood, so the old butler didnt dare to ask him. In order to create suspense, the production crew shut down the live broadcast room after Ji Yuan came toplete his assistant instructor role. The cameraman continued to record the members training progress. After that, the production crew would edit out the interesting parts and broadcast them during the first public showdown. The temporary closure of the live broadcast room could only prevent theizens from scolding and insulting Lin Shanchu in real-time. It did not affect the members at all. The members continued to wake up early and sleepte. Other than that, they spent their days training hard. Lin Shanchu woke up at six oclock. After she got out of bed and washed up, she dragged Yun Wu out of bed. Ill give you three minutes to wash up. Yunwu climbed out of bed in a daze. Why are you up so early? Lin Shanchu replied, To have breakfast, of course! Huh? Yun Wu was stunned. Lin Shanchu approached her with a mysterious look. Yun Wu thought that Lin Shanchu wanted to tell her a secret, so she perked up immediately. In the end, Lin Shanchu lowered her voice and said, Todays main course for breakfast is nnrnlp sweet nntatnes Yunwu was speechless. Was that all? Lin Shanchu continued to exin, When I was getting foodst night, the servingdy told me this in secret. The purple sweet potatoes were very delicious. Both Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu loved eating them. Yun Wus feelings were veryplicated at that moment. She had a strong feeling that she could no longer retain her title as the gluttonous queen in the training camp. After activating the health point card yesterday, Lin Shanchu felt very energetic and amazing. Her waist and her legs were no longer sore. She enjoyed food a lot more nowadays, not to mention her appetite had grown tremendously. She had been dreaming the entire night. All of her dreams were about food. Lin Shanchu met Xia Jinmeng on the way to the training room after finishing her meal. Xia Jinmeng held onto her walking stick and deliberately blocked Lin Shanchus way. Lin Shanchu was holding a leftover boiled egg from breakfast in her hand. She wanted to eat it as a snack to fill her stomach once she got hungryter. At that moment, she was tossing the egg around for fun. Lin Shanchu threw the egg in her hand upward and caught it firmly. After that, she looked up at Xia Jinmeng before asking, Youve studied before, right? You The look of contempt in her eyes made Xia Jinmeng want to curse out loud on the spot. Lin Shanchu did not give her a chance to express herself by immediately asking, Whats the first half of the sentence that says bad dogs always block the way? Good dogs never block the way. Xia Jinmeng rolled her eyes. Who didnt know such a simple saying? Lin Shanchu nodded in appreciation. Since you know the saying, why arent you giving way to me? Xia Jinmeng was still standing in the middle of the corridor in a daze. Lin Shanchu directly pushed her away and continued walking. Xia Jinmeng stumbled and held onto the wall to steady herself. Only then did she finally react. Lin Shanchu, how dare you call me a dog! Dont speak nonsense. It was apliment. Then, Lin Shanchu turned around and said two words seriously. Good dog. Xia Jinmeng was speechless. She was so angry that she threw away her walking stick on the spot. Lin Shanchu! You wont be smug for long! Wen Tongtong, who had been watching the show from the side, walked over. When Xia Jinmeng saw her, she turned around to leave. However, she had just thrown away her walking stick. She couldnt leave, so she could only turn her head and look elsewhere just so she could pretend to not see Wen Tongtong. Wen Tongtong picked up the walking stick and threw it to Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng caught it subconsciously before raising her head in surprise. The first thing she saw was Wen Tongtongs mocking smile. Lin Shanchu really knows how to praise people.. Chapter 87 - 87: We Believe In You Chapter 87: We Believe In You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Xia Jinmeng was so angry that she hurled insults at Wen Tongtong on the spot. Wen Tongtong just rolled her eyes at her. Tch! However, Xia Jinmengs foot injury had yet to heal. Since she could not catch up with Wen Tongtong and was worried about the growing crowd in the corridor, she could only give up. When Wen Tongtong arrived at the training room, Lin Shanchu was correcting her groupmates dance moves. Raise your hands a little higher and straighten out your legs Good job. Yes, thats it. Youve improved a lot. After correcting two of her groupmates movements, Lin Shanchu finally approached Ning Yunxi the crybaby. Ning Yunxi looked at her with tearful eyes. Big Sister, Im the only one who hasnt learned the dance yet. Am I going to have to go home and raise pigs? When the timees, you can stream yourself feeding pigs. Youre so young and beautiful. There will definitely be many people watching your stream. When you be popr, you can stream yourself selling pigs and achieve financial freedom. Lin Shanchu came up with a backup solution for Ning Yunxi in a serious manner. Ning Yunxi burst into tears upon hearing Lin Shanchus reply. People would never get annoyed when a young girl that had yet to turn 20 years old kept crying. The louder Ning Yunxi cried, the wider Lin Shanchus smile became. Ning Yunxi quickly wiped her tears and continued to practice. I want to make my debut! I dont want to raise pigs at all! Uwaaaah! How cute. Lin Shanchu coaxed Ning Yunxi a little more before stepping away to drink some water. Wen Tongtong also followed her. Youre in a good mood today. Is that so? Lin Shanchu didnt even look up as she slowly drank her water. You made Ning Yunxi cry on purpose, Wen Tongtongmented. Usually, Lin Shanchu wouldnt do such a thing. It was obvious that she was in a good mood for some mischief. Wen Tongtong didnt know what was wrong with Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was really beautiful and capable, but she was clearly dysfunctionalpared to regr people. Lin Shanchu let out an oh beforeughing lightly, Lets practice the dance. She was indeed in a good mood today. ording to the n, the news of her admitting to the rumors of her homosexuality had already been spread. She just didnt know if Lu Shiyuan was smashing the vase or the phone at this moment. Or was he beating Zhou Yan up just to vent his anger? Lu Corporation. In the CEOs office. The moment Zhou Yuan opened the door and entered the office, a phone could be seen flvinz at him from the front. Bam! Zhou Yan dodged to the side, but the phone still ended up striking his shoulder. Lu Shiyuan was very angry, so he had used all his strength in hurling that phone. It hurt Zhou Yans shoulder a lot. Zhou Yan merely furrowed his brows slightly and continued walking in. President Lu.. As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Shiyuan grabbed his cor and dragged him to theputer screen. Take a good look for yourself! Is this what you mean by settling the matter properly? On theputer screen was a news article that had just been released by a very authoritative media outlet in the industry. [It is reported that Lin Shanchu will hold a press conference in a few days to respond to rumors of her special sexual orientation.] Zhou Yan was also a little surprised. President Lu, Ive already contacted them to deal with the news articles when we discovered them before dawn! In the early hours of the morning, Zhou Yan suddenly discovered that news of Lin Shanchu holding a press conference had begun to appear on the inte. He contacted Lu Shiyuan that very night. Lu Shiyuan ordered him to get rid of the articles. They didnt pay much attention to it and thought that it was just some small media outlets trying to gain poprity. The articles were dealt with very easily. However, when Lu Shiyuan woke up this morning, all the major media outlets were fighting to release rted news. Zhou Yan contacted the people in charge to delete those articles immediately. No matter how powerful Lu Shiyuan was, it was impossible for him to control the entire mass media in Xu City. Hence, the moment Zhou Yan contacted some of the media sources to delete the articles, new articles would continue to be published by other media sources. In the end, this news rushed to the headlines. Is this how you handle the matter? Lu Shiyuan swept a cold nce at Zhou Yan before shoving him away. Zhou Yan could not be bothered to tidy up his own cor as he lowered his head and said respectfully, President Lu, the other party is obviously prepared. The speed at which we delete the articles cant keep up with the speed at which they post it. Youre trash! Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he hurled the vase that sat next to him. The vase shattered into tiny shards by Zhou Yans feet uponnding. Zhou Yan did not even blink as he continued, President Lu, Ive started the investigation on the mastermind behind this incident Before he could finish speaking, he was chased out by Lu Shiyuan. Get lost! Zhou Yan turned around and left without saying a word. He had been working for Lu Shiyuan for several years. He knew Lu Shiyuans temperament better than anyone else. He was unpredictable and irritable. However, Zhou Yan had to admit that Lu Shiyuans intelligence was outstanding. He was a natural businessman. Therefore, he could vaguely guess that Lin Shanchu was the one who did it. Naturally, Lu Shiyuan must havee up with the same spection. Otherwise, he wouldnt be so angry. After reaching the door, Zhou Yan tidied up his cor before returning to his office. He took out his phone and called his subordinate. Theres no need to investigate further. President Lu would probably go to Lin Shanchu personally. During training, when Lin Shanchu went to the washroom, she decided to drop by the directors office out of convenience. I heard that youve been practicing quite well recently. The director had always been very concerned about the shows key element of poprity. Yeah. Its going well. Lin Shanchu looked around. Finally, her eyes fell on two pieces of chocte on the desk next to her. Seeing this, the director turned around and crouched down in front of the cab to get something. Lin Shanchu saw half of his phone poking out of his pants pocket. The director took out arge box of choctes from the cab and waved generously. You can have this. Thank you, Director. Lin Shanchu smiled brightly. She left happily with the box of choctes in her arms. The director looked at her back and shook his head with a smile. Even if her gaze was a little scary, she was still just a youngdy. The director then recalled the rumors about Lin Shanchu that had been spreading around these two days. He didnt know how the production crew was going to handle this. If they didnt handle this well, they might not be able to keep the key element of poprity in the show. The director sighed and got ready to take out his phone to check the situation online. He searched through all of his pockets but could not find his phone. Where was the phone? Wasnt it here just now? In the washroom. Lin Shanchu sat on the toilet bowl. With the box of choctes in her left hand, she scrolled through the trending list using the phone that she had stolen from the director earlier with her right hand. #Lin Shanchu will hold a press conference #Lin Shanchus sexual orientation Thanks to Xia Jinmeng and her friends. Lin Shanchu was on the trending list again. Even though the trending topic was one of infamy. The entire trending topic was filled withments scolding her. After poking around the trending topic, she opened her own Weibo. The first thing Lin Shanchu saw was familiar insults. However, as she scrolled down, thements started bing different. [Theres no evidence at all. I refuse to believe that Big Sister is that kind of person.] [Is it true that shes going to hold a press conference?] [Big Sister doesnt know of the news since shes with the production crew. Could it be that she doesnt know whats going on outside?] [All the best, Big Sister! We believe in you!] Lin Shanchu stared at the words we believe in you for a long time. After that, she used the directors main ount to share a Weibo post from a marketing ount. The content of the Weibo post said that Lin Shanchu would hold a press conference to admit the truth behind the rumors and make a public apology.. Chapter 88 - 88: As Innocent As A Kitten Chapter 88: As Innocent As A Kitten Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Theizens quickly discovered that the director of My Stage had reposted the marketing ounts Weibo post. Theizens swarmed in immediately. [Whats going on?] [Did the director repost the marketing ounts Weibo post again?] [So, what these marketing ounts are saying is true? Is Lin Shanchu really going to publicly acknowledge the rumors and apologize?] [Holy sh*t! Is this basically a confirmation?] [Even the production crews director has reposted the marketing ounts Weibo post. Lin Shanchus fans, wake up! ] [The director is definitely the guide for us drama watchers!] [No wonder there was no news from the production crew after they released the statement about investigating the matter!] [Heh! I knew that Lin Shanchu was not a good person.] The act of the director sharing the Weibo post undoubtedly confirmed theizens spections. Theizens felt that Lin Shanchus public acknowledgment of the rumors and apology could confirm their spections. Hence, a new round of scolding began. A portion of theizens and fans went to Lu Shiyuans Weibo. [Arent you going toe out and say something about your fiance?] [Youre the first to arrive at the battlefield when your good friend is in trouble. Its been a night since your fiances incident. Why didnt youe out and say anything?] [If Lin Shanchu is really a lesbian, why havent you canceled your engagement with her?] [If youre a man,e out and say a few words!] [Youre also having it hard now that something like this has happened. How pitiful.] [Does Lin Shanchu like women because you cant satisfy her in bed?] Public opinion of the matter escted, which worsened the incident. Theizens started attacking Lu Shiyuan as well. All kinds of insults came one after another. Almost all of the production crews staff followed the directors Weibo ount. The moment Lin Shanchu used the directors main ount to share the marketing ounts Weibo post, a staff member discovered it right away. The staff members were all huge fans of hot gossip. They all felt that the director shared that Weibo post because he knew the inside story. Therefore, different staff members gged down the director just to ask him the same question while he was looking for his phone. Director, if you know something, you have to share it with me. Whats the matter? The director was confused. The staff member asked him mysteriously, We all saw the Weibo post you shared. Do you know something? What Weibo post? I didnt share The director subconsciously denied it. He suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Wait a minute. This familiar operation Let me see. The director borrowed the staff members phone from him. When he opened Weibo, the director couldnt help butment, What the hell Lin Shanchu! She stole his phone again! Whats wrong? the staff member asked. The director swallowed the rest of the curse and smiled instead. Its nothing. Ill go to the training room and take a look. When Lin Shanchu was about to return to the training room, she saw the director looking at the doorway from a distance. She quietly walked behind the director. Director, are you looking for your phone? she asked. You little The director was shocked. He pointed at Lin Shanchu for a long time. However, it was difficult to say something overboard now that he was staring at her beautiful and innocent face. You stole my phone again. The director looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to them, then lowered his voice and snatched the phone away. Lin Shanchu was the one who stole his phone, but she looked calm as if he was the one who had a guilty conscience. I found it on the floor. Lin Shanchu was still holding the box of choctes in her arms. She tilted her head slightly, and her eyes were clear without a trace of impurity. She was as innocent as a kitten. How was this a kitten? She was clearly a fox. Also, she was a wild and crazy old fox who had cultivated for a thousand years! The more the director thought about it, the more indignant he felt. He reached out and took the box of choctes back. Lin Shanchu was speechless. You cant have them anymore! Lin Shanchu remained speechless. The director was being childish, wasnt he? After that, the director turned around and shouted at the training room. Girls,e and have some choctes! All the girls loved sweet choctes. The girls swarmed out of the training room. They all thanked the director sweetly after receiving the choctes. Thank you, Big Brother Director! Youre the best, Big Brother Director! The director, who was over 40 years old and could almost be their father, lost himself in the phrase Big Brother Director that echoed over and over again. All of you have been training hard. Everyone will get their own share. There werent enough choctes to go around, so the director asked a staff member to get more from the office. Other than Lin Shanchu, all the other girls received their choctes. The crowd soon dispersed. The director turned around and saw Lin Shanchu staring at him. Big Brother Director, wheres mine? Lin Shanchus eyes widened while extending a hand. The director put his hand into his pocket, cleared his throat, and asked in a very serious tone, Are you going to use my phone to do bad things next time? I wont. The things she did were proper, not bad. You have to keep your word! Okay! Lin Shanchu nodded vigorously. The director took out a handful of choctes from his pocket and gave it to her. As he watched a smiling Lin Shanchu receive the choctes with both hands, he couldnt help but reveal a fatherly expression. Dont eat too much. Its bad to eat too many choctes. I know! Lin Shanchu immediately unwrapped a piece of chocte and put it into her mouth. It was good to be healthy. Everything she ate tasted amazing. The director couldnt help butugh as well. Youngdies were pretty cute, after all. The director was about to leave when his phone rang. President Nan? A call from Nan Mu? Lin Shanchu looked up at the director. No one knew what Nan Mu said on the other end of the phone, but the director also looked at Lin Shanchu. Im in the training room. Shes right in front of me. You want her to take the call, right? The next moment, the director handed the phone to Lin Shanchu. President Nan wants you to answer the phone. Lin Shanchu took it and said, Boss. Hearing this, Nan Muughed. In an instant, he said in a serious tone, Lu Shiyuan called me. He said he wanted to meet up and talk to you. Lin Shanchu slowly walked to the side. Just because he wants a chat, he thinks Illply to his wishes? In his dreams. All right. I got it. Nanmu could tell that Lin Shanchu wanted to give Lu Shiyuan the cold shoulder. It was just what he wanted. Lu Shiyuan was really annoying no matter how Nan Mu looked at him. Theres something else I have to tell you. Nan Mus tone was even more serious than before. What happened? Lin Shanchu asked. Theizens scolded Lu Shiyuan! Hahahahaha! Someone must have flipped Nan Mus tickle switch on because he wasughing so hard that he kept pping the table. Thoseizens even went to Lu Shiyuans Weibo to scold him! They asked if his ipetence in bed made you decide to like women! Hahahahaha! Nan Muughed so hard that hisughter started to resemble a gooses warbling. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She thought that Nan Mu had something important to tell her. Was this it? Dont you find it funny? When Nan Mu didnt get any response, he could feel half of his happiness vanishing on the spot. Yes, its funny, Lin Shanchu replied calmly. Nan Mu was speechless.. Why was Lin Shanchu as calm as Huo Xunzhou? Chapter 89 - 89: He’s Getting Anxious, He Doesn I t Want to Be A Laughing Stock Chapter 89: Hes Getting Anxious, He Doesn I t Want to Be A Laughing Stock Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Even though Lin Shanchus reaction was calm, Nan Mu did not feel disappointed. He had to share this kind of happiness with everyone else. Huo Xunzhou was the most boring person ever. He did not react at all. At least Lin Shanchu would acknowledge Nan Mu. Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with our director. I dont know whats wrong with him, but he actually shared the marketing ounts Weibo post. Hahaha! Lin Shanchu was speechless. Nan Muughed his fill before realizing that Lin Shanchu showed no reaction at all. Dont you find it funny? Lin Shanchu didnt reply. She was silent for a moment, but in the end, she still didnt tell Nan Mu that she was the one who used the directors phone to share the Weibo post. Im very busy. Goodbye. Hello? Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Nan Mu put down the phone with mixed feelings. Huo Xunzhou hung up on him. Lin Shanchu also hung up on him. They made Nan Mus life as a worker with the Boss title very difficult. The worker, Nan Mu, who had no one to share his happiness with, turned around and secretly bought a bunch of bots to join the battlefield. They stirred up trouble everywhere on the inte. Not only that, but they also dragged Lu Shiyuan into the mess. Theizens even used Lu Shiyuans pictures to make memes. [Dont be a man like me.jpg], [Im impotent.jpg], and other memes were published on that day. The memes were then spread across all major social media tforms. The public rtions department of the Lu Corporation carried out emergency public rtions strategies. They deleted the posts and removed the trending topic. Then, they closed off thement sections on the Lu Corporations official Weibo ount and Lu Shiyuans personal Weibo page. Theizens startedmenting elsewhere. [Oho! Did they turn off thement sections?] [Hes getting anxious! He doesnt want to be aughing stock!] [Hes still pretending to be dead after all this time. It seems that hes not a true man at all.] The entire inte made fun of Lu Shiyuan at that time. Tang Qidai panicked. How could it be like this? She randomly scrolled through two Weibo posts, both of which were hinting at Lu Shiyuans ipetence in bed. Previously, Xia Jinmeng had contacted her and said that she had thought of a way to deal with Lin Shanchu. Naturally, she would be more than happy to help that idiot Xia Jinmeng. Things were going very smoothly. Soon, Lin Shanchu was on the receiving end of intense scolding and insults. However, after one night passed, the direction of public opinion changed. They even dragged Lu Shiyuan into this. Tang Qidai took out her phone and wanted to call Lu Shiyuan, but then she remembered that Lu Shiyuan was a person who cared about his reputation. She really couldnt make this call. At this time, Lu Shiyuan was sitting in his office and making a phone call. He called Lin Shanchu. Even though he knew that Lin Shanchus phone was taken away as soon as she entered the show, he still kept calling. Honestly, he wanted to ask Lin Shanchu why she felt the need to be this ruthless face-to-face. Zhou Yan stood by the side and silently counted the number of times Lu Shiyuan had called. He had already made more than a hundred calls. CEO Lus limited patience was all spent on Ms. Lin. The number you have dialed is not reachable The mechanical female voice kept ringing from the other side of the phone. Bam! The phone was thrown out. Zhou Yan was used to seeing such scenes. He picked up the phone fragments with a calm expression on his face. Lu Shiyuan took a deep breath and gradually calmed down from his rage. Get the people from the PR department toe in. The public rtions department came up with a solution as soon as public opinion started going viral. However, Lu Shiyuan had always believed that Lin Shanchu would not be so ruthless, so he did not let the people from the public rtions department do their job. Zhou Yan opened the door. President Lu wants you guys toe in. The people from the public rtions department went in and said, President Lu, wevee up with three ns in total Lu Shiyuan interrupted with a cold expression, Go with the n that requires me to rify the situation. Lu Shiyuaning out personally to rify the situation was indeed the best choice. The public rtions department made a few alternate ns because they couldnt figure out Lu Shiyuans thoughts. Yes, sir. After the people from the public rtions department left the office, Zhou Yan skillfully took out a new phone that he had prepared long ago and passed it to Lu Shiyuan. [After the rumor of Lin Shanchus special sexual orientation was spread for 20 hours, her fianc, Lu Shiyuan, the president of the Lu Corporation, came out to rify the matter and said that he would take legal action against the ones who started the rumor] Nan Mu read thetest news before exiting the interface in disappointment. Lu Shiyuan actually admitted defeat so quickly. Lin Shanchu really knows him well. Back then, Lin Shanchu wanted to leave Lu Shiyuan hanging for a while. Nan Mu thought that Lu Shiyuan would only rify things earliest by night time. Huo Xunzhou, who was sitting across from Nan Mu, nced at him after he finished watching the news. Nan Mu was already used to Huo Xunzhous reticent personality, so when thetter nced at him, he thought it was a signal for him tomunicate with him. Nan Mu started to ramble again. I think Lu Shiyuan is really crazy. Lets take this incident as an example. He could have called off the engagement and cut all ties, but he insisted onpeting with Lin Shanchu! He went down to lead public opinion, but in the end, he got himself into trouble. It affected his image, forcing him toe out and rify the matter. What kind of feelings does Lu Shiyuan have for Lin Shanchu? Whenever he faces off with her, he ends up burning himself alive just to hurt her. Nan Mu shook his head before asking, Xunzhou, youre smart. Tell me why Lu Shiyuan His voice quickly trailed away the moment he made eye contact with Huo Xunzhous cold expression. Nan Mu almost forgot. Huo Xunzhou and Lu Shiyuan were now love rivals. Nan Mu tried to say something to ease the atmosphere. Hows the arrangement for her advertising resourcesing along? Huo Xunzhou suddenly asked. Nan Mu was stunned for a moment before he realized that the she Huo Xunzhou was referring to Lin Shanchu. Two days ago, anotherpany specifically asked to cooperate with Lin Shanchu! Guess whichpany it is? Nan Mu smiled mysteriously. Before Huo Xunzhou could say anything, Nan Mu said proudly, You definitely wont be able to guess it. Huo Xunzhou reached out and tapped the table twice. Its Capital Citys Nan Mus eyebrows twitched. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. Yun Ding Group, Huo Xunzhou continued. Nan Mu was speechless as his mouth started twitching. Did you install spyware on my phone? The Yun Ding Group only asked to cooperate with her. Is there anyone else? Huo Xunzhou asked. Nope. Nan Mu felt that Huo Xunzhou was implying something. What do you mean? Is there anyone among the members who have a rtionship with the Yun Ding Group? Huo Xunzhou looked at his watch before stating, I have a dinner appointment tonight. Li MO walked over and pushed Huo Xunzhou out. You havent answered my question yet! Nan Mu shouted from behind. The members didnt have phones. They had no idea what was happening outside. Xia Jinmeng noticed that the director had given out choctes to everyone but Lin Shanchu. She thought that Lin Shanchu was about to be abandoned by the production crew because of the rumors. Therefore, she spent the whole afternoon spreading the rumors that gued the inte across the training camp, be it intentional or not. Lin Shanchu was on her way to the cafeteria after she was done with the afternoon training when she realized that all the other girls were avoiding her like gue. [Xia Jinmeng has been spreading the news that you like women all afternoon.] The system suddenly came back to life. Why are you suddenly helping me? Lin Shanchu was a little surprised. The system replied, [Youre making it sound like Im always trying to harm you.] Chapter 90 - 90: Wealth Is Also A Type of Power Chapter 90: Wealth Is Also A Type of Power Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu dissed, Think about it properly. Isnt that the case? The system was speechless. There was no way to refute her. The missions it gave Lin Shanchu were all harmful to her body and mind. The system briefly reflected on itself. [The role of the system is to assist the host. Although our ideas arepletely opposite from each other from the beginning, the system will consciously carry out the corresponding optimization ording to the hosts will until it can help the host.] Lin Shanchu asked, So, you wont f*cking post any idiotic missions in the future, right? The system replied, [Dont] Curse out loud. Lin Shanchu urately guessed what it was going to say. The system was speechless. Lin Shanchu asked, [How can I kill Lu Shiyuan?] The system replied, [The male lead wont die so easily. ] Lin Shanchu mocked, You cant even help me with this. Do you even know how to upgrade yourself? The system was speechless again. This human had gonepletely crazy. It shut up again. Shanshan! Yun Wus voice came from behind. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly to show her confusion. Yun Wu usually called her by her name. asionally, she called her Big Sister. Didnt Huo Xunzhou call you that too? Were good friends, so whats wrong with calling each other more intimately? Yun Wu walked over and hugged Lin Shanchus arm. Lin Shanchu smiled, Did you hear about the rumors? Yun Wu hummed in response. You can refer to me as Wu like how Tangtang did. Lin Shanchu hummed back in a form of imitation of Yun Wus previous response. Then why are you so close to me? What if I really like women? Yun Wu stopped talking. She stared at Lin Shanchu while blinking repeatedly. Even though I like men, I dont mind trying it out if youre the target Lin Shanchu froze, clearly speechless. Big Sister Shanshan, can you give me a chance? Yun Wu was excited. Lin Shanchu waspletely petrified. Soon, she returned to normal. Lin Shanchu took half a step forward. Then, she leaned forward slightly and gripped Yun Wus chin. Good girl. Ill be sure to pamper you. There was a faint smile on her delicate face. Her beautiful feline eyes were as bright as the stars. Her low voice was light and charming, making her seem like a charismatic antagonist. Yun Wus face turned red instantly. Y-Y-You I-I-I The other girls who walked past them looked shocked. The rumors were true! Lin Shanchus eyes widened as she looked at Yun Wu. She could not help but pinch thetters face. Wu, youre too cute! Yun Wu blushed once again, this time out of happiness. Lin Shanchu put an arm around Yun Wus shoulder and led her to the cafeteria. Lets go eat! Many members witnessed the scene of Lin Shanchu pinching Yun Wus cheek. As a result, when Lin Shanchu lined up to get food, those people kept their distance from her. Lin Shanchu crossed his arms and stood in line behind Yun Wu with an indifferent expression. She turned around and saw An Youyun. An Youyun met her gaze, but she didnt smile sweetly at her as she did in the past. Instead, she silently looked away, pretending not to see her. It seemed that the sweet little sister started to hate Lin Shanchu as well. Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu were almost isted by everyone. However, there were also exceptions. After Wen Tongtong got her food, she also came to Lin Shanchus table. Lin Shanchu nced at her in surprise. Wen Tongtong exined with an ufortable expression, I heard that women are very picky when theyre looking for girlfriends. I know what I look like. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Wen Tongtong sure was good at recognizing her own position. Ning Yunxi ran over as well after getting her food. Everyones here. She sat down with a smile. Wen Tongtong had also been a trainee abroad, so she was quite capable. However, she did not like Ning Yunxi that much. She nced at Ning Yunxi expressionlessly. Why are you following us? Ning Yunxi did not care about what Wen Tongtong said at all. Instead, she flipped her hair in a pretentious manner. Big Sister, do you think Im pretty? After she finished speaking, she even shot Lin Shanchu a wink. Pfft! The soup that Lin Shanchu had just drunk was forcibly spat back into her bowl. She felt that she needed to exin. I dont like women. Ning Yunxi sighed. I knew it. You only like Yun Wu. Of course. Yun Wu raised her head while looking arrogant. Ning Yunxi turned her grief into appetite as she started wolfing down her wolf. Wen Tongtong was confused. She had learned something new today. It turned out that women could also fight over other women the same way they fought over men. Lin Shanchu was speechless. It seemed like exining the truth was a difficult thing to do. During the meal, Xia Jinmengs group of followers kept pointing at Lin Shanchu while whispering about her. Once that group went into the washroom after dinner, they started badmouthing Lin Shanchu without any care in the world. Lin Shanchu is so disgusting. Ive always felt that the way Lin Shanchu looks at other girls is weird. What I cant stand the most is her acting all high and mighty even though she doesnt have any skill! Jinmeng, its such an injustice that you lost to Lin Shanchu. Xia Jinmeng didnt give a straightforward reply. Instead, she turned to look at An Youyun, who was washing her hands quietly. Its injustice for Anan to lose to Lin Shanchu. Dont you guys think so? An Youyun paused in her actions before turning off the tap. The fans were the ones voting. Dont say that. Xia Jinmeng sneered. Lin Shanchu doesnt have that many fans. Her fianc is rich, after all. Wealth is also a type of power, An Youyun replied with a faint smile. At this moment, the door of the innermost stall was flung open with a loud bam. Everyone turned around in unison. Lin Shanchu walked out from inside with a vague smile on her face. Now that the target heard the girls badmouthing her, things would surely get worse. Everyone looked slightly awkward after noticing Lin Shanchu. An Youyun was the most embarrassed in the group. Big Sister Xia Jinmeng and the others had grudges against Lin Shanchu, to begin with. Although An Youyun wasnt on good terms with Lin Shanchu before, she could still make small talk with her. Lin Shanchu didnt even look at An Youyun. She pushed past thetters shoulder as she turned on the tap and began washing her hands. Xia Jinmeng couldnt stand Lin Shanchus fearless attitude. Lin Shanchu, the news of your homosexuality has spread. The production crew will inform you to withdraw soon. What are you still so proud of? Dont you know what Im proud of? Lin Shanchu straightened up and looked at Xia Jinmeng. Her tone was so serious that it seemed like she was really asking her a question. Xia Jinmeng was stunned. Didnt you just say it yourself? My fianc is rich. Lin Shanchu had an innocent smile on her face, and yet a trace of danger could be detected. Realization dawned on everyone at the same time. If Lin Shanchu really liked women, why did Lu Shiyuan not cancel his engagement with her? Xia Jinmeng was also shocked, but she quickly calmed down. Your fianc is rich, but did he give you money to spend? Didnt he spend all of it on Tang Qidai? Thats right. Hes already spent all his money on Tang Qidai, so how could he afford to pay for the votes that were cast for me? An Youyun and Xia Jinmeng had just mentioned that Lin Shanchus first ce was bought by her fianc. Big Sister, let me exin An Youyun hurriedly exined. Theres a reason why some people cant get first ce, Lin Shanchu coldly interrupted.. Chapter 91 - 91: You Said It Yourself, That Was In the Past Chapter 91: You Said It Yourself, That Was In the Past Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion An Youyun was so angry that her eyes reddened. Big Sister, how can you say that? Youve stepped over the line! I wasnt talking about you. Lin Shanchu nced at Xia Jinmeng. Are you talking about me? Xia Jinmeng widened her eyes in anger. Did I mention your name? Lin Shanchu asked. Xia Jinmeng was speechless. Tears welled up in An Youyuns eyes. Big Sister, Ive always treated you as a friend and respected you. However, if you continue to act so arrogantly just because you have a strong background, I really cant treat you as a friend anymore. Her sad and disappointed tone made it seem as if Lin Shanchu had let her down. Xia Jinmeng looked at An Youyun in shock. Why didnt she realize that An Youyun was better at pretending than her? Lin Shanchu was very familiar with the people who snatched the opportunity to snatch the moral high ground while crying their eyes out. The same people would then pretend to look pitiful while thinking that whatever they said was right. Tang Qidai was the one who did this first, after all. Do you really think of me as a friend? Even a dog wouldnt believe it! Lin Shanchu smiled brightly at Xia Jinmeng. Am I right? Xia Jinmeng subconsciously nodded. Yeah. The number of times An Youyun interacted with Lin Shanchu was lesser than the number of times Wen Tongtong interacted with her. If Wen Tongtong had said this, it would have been more convincing. An Youyun bit her bottom lip in anger while looking like she was unable to refute the logic. Xia Jinmeng finally realized what Lin Shanchu said. Lin Shanchu, you f*cking called me a Dog. She swallowed thest word forcibly. The other girls at the side were trying their best to hold back theirughter. Lin Shanchu then walked out. When she passed by An Youyun, she stopped and turned her head slightly to look at her. Its not without reason that youre ranked after Xia Jinmeng. Sometimes, shes much cuter than you. After leaving this sentence hanging, Lin Shanchu swaggered out of the washroom. Xia Jinmeng looked at the spot where Lin Shanchu had left, a deep frown gracing her features. Did Lin Shanchu praise her again? Could it be that she really liked her? Just thinking about it made Xia Jinmeng feel disgusted. She shivered in response. When Xia Jinmeng passed by An Youyun, she stopped and said in a proud tone, Did you hear that? Even Lin Shanchu said that Im better than you. You An Youyun gritted out. Lin Shanchu had just walked out of the toilet when she heard the system sigh. She asked, Why are you sighing? Is it because youre starting to feel anxious for not being able to think up a way to kill Lu Shiyuan? The system was silent for a moment. [Arent you afraid of being beaten up for talking like this?] It no longer tried to correct Lin Shanchus persona. It was more worried that Lin Shanchu would be beaten up if she was too arrogant. Lin Shanchu replied, Im not even afraid of death. Why would I be afraid of being beaten up? The system was speechless. The system tactfully changed the topic. One more thing Hmm? The system exined, [Lu Shiyuan ising.] As soon as it finished speaking, Lin Shanchu saw a staff member gging down a member to speak to her. The member looked around and pointed at Lin Shanchus direction after spotting her. The staff member immediately ran over. Lin Shanchu, the director is looking for you. The director was looking for her because Lu Shiyuan wasing. These days, Lin Shanchus negative romantic scandal was spreading like wildfire. Lu Shiyuan hade out to rify this matter today. Now, he had speciallye to the production crew to see her. This would help to eliminate Lin Shanchus negative scandal, so the production crew was naturally happy to cooperate. Moreover, they could also film some footage and edit them during post-production to increase the shows poprity. President Lu ising to see you. You should get ready. Didnt we agree on training behind closed doors? How could you let friends and family visit the members on a whim? The production crew cant give me special treatment. Ill be hated by everyone else. Lin Shanchu frowned slightly while sounding very serious. Then what do you think we should do? If the director had not been scammed by Lin Shanchu a few times, he would have almost believed her words. The young woman was very bold. Was she really afraid of being hated? Even a dog wouldnt believe those words! Do I have the final say in this matter? Lin Shanchu asked suspiciously. Ive contacted President Nan, the director said in a low voice. He said that your opinion is needed in this matter. The production crews training camp was located in a tourist area in the suburbs. There was a three-meter high wired fence surrounding the training camp. Lin Shanchu put her hands in her pockets as she slowly walked to the wired fence. A ck Rolls-Royce was parked under the street light outside the fence. The door of the drivers seat opened. Zhou Yan got out of the car. Only after opening the rear car door did he go to the trunk to take something. First, he took out a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Lu Shiyuan, who wasing out of the backseat. Then, he took out a sack of snacks from the trunk and followed Lu Shiyuan to Lin Shanchus side. In the distance, many students and staff members were secretly watching. They discussed as they watched. To be honest, President Lu has a good figure! Hes tall and well-built! He even brought flowers. How romantic. It seems like the rumors are all false. Dont you know that President Lu came out personally to rify the matter? He even said that hes going to legally pursue the ones who are behind the rumors He has the strength to protect his wife. Im so jealous Across the fence, Lin Shanchu saw Lu Shiyuans dark and gloomy face under the streetlight. She reached out and fiddled with the flowers in his hands through the gap in the fence. She then said nonchntly, Did you hear that? Theyre all praising you. Are you happy now that youve humiliated me? Lu Shiyuans words were almost squeezed out from the gaps between his teeth. They were filled with hatred. Lin Shanchu retracted her hand and said in a leisurely tone, All I did was ask you to buy me a bouquet of flowers and bring some snacks over. Is your pride already wounded? You wont be able to have a good ending if your personality is this weak. Lu Shiyuan red at her. You never dared to make such requests to me in the past! He helped Lin Shanchu rify the rumors that afternoon, but there was still no news from Lin Shanchus side. In the past, Lin Shanchu would ask about him worriedly as long as it was about anything rted to him. It didnt matter if said things were very insignificant and petty. Lu Shiyuan could not sit still no matter what, so he decided toe directly to Lin Shanchu. On his way to the training camp, he received a phone call from Lin Shanchu, who had used a staff members phone to contact him. She only said two sentences. Since youre here as my fianc, bring me some flowers and snacks. Otherwise, dont bothering. She hung up the call after saying that, not giving Lu Shiyuan a chance to speak. Although Lu Shiyuan was angry, he could also feel that if he didnt do as Lin Shanchu said, he might not be able to see her for real. At that time, he would be the one embarrassed. Therefore, Lu Shiyuan, who was about to reach the training camp, had no choice but to go back and prepare the things Lin Shanchu had instructed him to do. Lu Shiyuan, who was always pampered by Lin Shanchu, had never felt so aggrieved in his life. The anger that he had been umting all this time finally exploded at this moment. You said it yourself. That was in the past. Lin Shanchu looked at him calmly. Lu Shiyuan gritted out, You Are you furious? Lin Shanchu interrupted him, her smiling face suddenly turning cold.. No matter how furious you are, you better endure it! Chapter 92 - 92: Always Doing Weird Things Chapter 92: Always Doing Weird Things Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lu Shiyuan was shocked by Lin Shanchus sudden aura. He forcibly stopped himself from speaking his mind. Of course, you can also choose not to. Lin Shanchu retracted her aura as she turned to look at the members and staff who were pretending to stroll around the grounds while secretly watching the conversation. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The veins on his forehead popped out. Lin Shanchu, must you be this ruthless? Why are you pretending to be the victim? Youre the one who helped Tang Qidai spread the rumor that I was harassing the members. Lin Shanchu couldnt help butugh. Shock streaked across Lu Shiyuans eyes. He did not expect Lin Shanchu to know the truth. Soon, the shock in Lu Shiyuans eyes turned into delight. Are you angry at me for helping Qidai? Is that why you became so ruthless? He knew that Lin Shanchu loved him so much, so she wouldnt be ruthless without a reason. Lin Shanchu frowned. Lu Shiyuan, is that thing above your neck just for show? She didnt give Lu Shiyuan a chance to say anything stupid. When I was 12, Tang Qidai broke the bangle my mother left me. You told me it was just a bangle Lin Shanchu said without any expression. When I was 14, Tang Qidai and I went to a summer camp. We encountered andslide there. You boarded a helicopter to pick up Tang Qidai. Meanwhile, I had broken my leg, so I had to crawl for one kilometer before I got saved by a kind person. In the same year, I got first ce in my grade. Tang Qidai used me of cheating, but you didnt even ask me a single question. You just told me to apologize to her If Lin Shanchu didnt think about it carefully, she wouldnt have known that she had lived like this in the past. She calmed down and looked at Lu Shiyuan coldly. Do you think youre worth my attention? Lu Shiyuan moved his lips, but he could not make a sound at all. It was as if he was a mute. Since Lu Shiyuan was young, Lin Shanchu was always the one epting his joy and anger. She would always tolerate his outbursts as well. He was already used to Lin Shanchus presence. He was used to her gentleness and obedience. At the same time, he was used to ordering her around. He never thought that Lin Shanchu would leave him one day. Also, he never thought about whether what he had done was right or wrong. This was because he knew that Lin Shanchu would never leave him no matter what. All this time, he had always believed that Lin Shanchu would always be by his side. However, Lin Shanchus words made his self-confidence show signs of crumbling. The panic on Lu Shiyuans face disappeared in a sh as he quickly calmed down. In the end, youre just jealous of Qidai. Lin Shanchu could not bear it anymore. She called out the system in her mind. Is Lu Shiyuan this idiotic by nature or has his intelligence been reduced due to the settings? The system looked at the data in a daze. Then it slowly exined, [At present, the storyline of all the characters in this world has changed because of your awakening, which means that the characters behavior is no longerpletely restricted by the original settings] Lin Shanchu interrupted, Exin to me in the way that humans understand. [But Im not a human] the system thought. On second thought, didnt Lin Shanchu often do weird things that humans didnt do? [Lu Shiyuans words and actions are partially controlled by his settings. The other partes from his own will.] Lin Shanchu replied, I understand now. Lu Shiyuan is naturally idiotic. It was a good thing that she had given up on him from the start. Otherwise, she would really fall into a pit without the means to get out. Sensing Lin Shanchus anger, the system did not dare to speak anymore and shut up instead. It was useless trying to reason with Lu Shiyuan, who was mentally ill. Lin Shanchu rolled his eyes at Lu Shiyuan without caring about her image. Get lost! Lu Shiyuans face darkened as he opened his mouth, ready to curse at Lin Shanchu. However, Lin Shanchu would not give him the chance to show off. Zhou Yan had already sent that sack of snacks to the security guards earlier. Lin Shanchu went straight to the guard, picked up the bag of snacks, and walked to the training camp. The health points card from the system was really useful. Her physical fitness was so good that she could flip a heavy buffalo over her shoulder on the spot. Lu Shiyuan and Zhou Yans faces shed with surprise. Lu Shiyuan only turned around to leave after Lin Shanchu had walked far away. As it was a tourist area, the woods surrounded the fence. A mans voice could be heard from the woods beside where Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan were talking. Big Brother, Ms. Lins fitness has improved after joining this show. Li MO looked in the direction where Lin Shanchu had disappeared through the gaps in the forest. Huo Xunzhous expression was serious. He did not say anything. He had seen Lin Shanchu faint before. At that time, Lin Shanchu was already beyond cure. But now, Lin Shanchu looked no different from a normal person. This was very strange. Li MO noticed that Huo Xunzhou did not speak for a long time, so he thought that thetter was worried about Lin Shanchu. Lu Shiyuan really is a b*stard. That Jidai woman shattered Ms. Lins mothers relic, but he actually called it a mere bangle Li Mots tone gradually became angry. Its illegal to kill people in this country, Huo Xunzhou said emotionlessly. I know, Li MO replied in a disappointed tone. Lin Shanchu carried the sack of snacks as she walked toward the training camp building. Yun Wu ran over to help her carry the sack. Im fine. Its not heavy. Lin Shanchu wanted to refuse. However, Yun Wu had already snatched the snack and ran away quickly with it. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Big Sister. Ning Yunxi ran over behind Yun Wu. Wen Tongtong was following behind her. They had been watching Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan from the balcony earlier. Although they couldnt hear their conversation from a distance and couldnt even see Lu Shiyuans face clearly, the two of them looked very pleasing to the eye when they stood together. Where are the flowers? You forgot to take them. Ning Yunxi looked behind Lin Shanchu. She had spotted Lu Shiyuan with the flowers earlier. Lin Shanchu replied without any expression, Yes, Ipletely forgot. Ill help you get them. Ning Yunxi was very proactive in helping her get the flowers from the guard. Lin Shanchu slowly walked back. As she walked, she noticed that Wen Tongtong was secretly studying her. Seeing that she had been discovered, Wen Tongtong decided to look at her openly. You dont seem too happy. How did you Imow? She realized that Wen Tongtong was quite sharp and could always see through her emotional changes. Its just a feeling, Wen Tongtong replied. Then, she mumbled to herself, Then again, if I had a fianc who thinks about other women every day, I might not be happy either. There was a hint ot pity in her gloating. Lin Shanchus lips twitched. Oh, yeah. People were like this sometimes. They couldnt bear to see others doing well. Once they found out that others were living the same miserable life as them, they would beforted. After Lin Shanchu let Yun Wu pick the snacks first, she divided the rest with the other members. She still had to get along with everyone in the production crew, so she naturally had to find a way to get rid of the rumors. This was the reason why she had asked Lu Shiyuan to bring snacks and flowers. It was just for show. She wanted to prove to these girls that Lu Shiyuan was her fianc. Her fianc was a man.. Chapter 93 - 93: She’s Not Moving Anymore, I Think She’s Chapter 93: Shes Not Moving Anymore, I Think Shes Dead Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The members who had previously isted Lin Shanchu because of the rumors were all a little embarrassed. They didnt know whether to ept or reject the snacks. Do you not like this? What about the other snacks? Lin Shanchu had a smile on her serious face while sounding very sincere. The advantage of being good-looking appeared again at this time. Who could refuse a beautiful woman who sincerely shared snacks with you? In the end, the girls still epted the snacks. Thank you, they said. Lin Shanchu did not reply with youre wee. Instead, she said, Its all right. Those three simple words were like a hint. The girls who understood smiled apologetically at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchus past life was full of malice. But she knew that this world was brimming with kindness. Young people alwayscked judgment and were easily swayed by rumors. She understood all of this. When it was Xia Jinmengs turn, Lin Shanchu especially gave her two more bags of snacks. Xia Jinmeng felt that Lin Shanchu was deliberately provoking her. With a dark expression, she asked, Lin Shanchu, what do you mean by this? She was certain that Lin Shanchu liked women, so she contacted Tang Qidai to make up this rumor about Lin Shanchu. But now, not only did Lu Shiyuane forward to rify everything, but he also gave Lin Shanchu flowers and snacks. Xia Jinmeng felt as if she had been pped in the face. She now understood that Lin Shanchu was not as stupid as Tang Qidai had said, so she felt that Lin Shanchu definitely knew that all of this was rted to her. Lin Shanchu deliberately gave her a few more bags of snacks. What was the difference between that and humiliating her? Do you not like it? Lin Shanchu asked while taking the snacks back. Why do you care if I like it or not? Xia Jinmeng snatched the snacks away and hugged them tightly in her arms. She said righteously, Whats the logic of taking back something youve given away? Its my business whether I eat it or not! Its definitely none of your business! Yeah, youre right, Lin Shanchu said. Xia Jinmeng was speechless. Lin Shanchu was definitely sick in the head. Lin Shanchu gave Xia Jinmeng an ambiguous smile before turning around to leave. Xia Jinmeng was her benefactor. If it wasnt for Xia Jinmengs actions, she wouldnt have been able to get the health points so easily. Lu Shiyuan wouldnt have been so submissive and begged to see her. Once again, she had sessfully leeched off Lu Shiyuans poprity. She could get on the trending list again together with Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu was one step closer to getting famous. Lu Shiyuanste-night visit to the training camp was photographed by the paparazzi. It became a trending topic overnight. The trending topic had a simple and straightforward name. #Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu met while being separated from each other by a fence A video of Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan looking at each other through the fence was attached to the topic. Although the quality of the video was average, everyone could recognize Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu. Theizens startedmenting. [The domineering boss hase to visit his beautiful wife through the fence! Im loving this! Hahaha!] [This is definitely true love! To think that President Lu can endure this kind of grievance just to see his beautiful wife!] [I support Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu together!] [Why are you guys tagging @Tang Qidai in such a beautiful and harmonious scene? Shes just good friends with them!] [Thats right! Why did you tag @Tang Qidai? Lin Shanchu is the real fiance, after all!] Previously, after Lu Shiyuan was ridiculed by theizens, Tang Qidai realized that the matter had gotten out of hand. So, she had her manager tell her fans not to cause trouble for the time being. She knew very well that Lu Shiyuan was aware of many of the things she had done. The premise was that she didnt go too far and knew when to advance and when to restrain herself. Otherwise, Lu Shiyuan would get angry at her too. At this juncture, she could only tuck her tail between her legs and behave. In order to get closer to Lu Shiyuan, Tang Qidai had put in so much effort to get rid of Lin Shanchu. However, everything that she had done ended up bing fodder for Lin Shanchus happy ending. Lu Shiyuan, who originally felt nothing but disdain for Lin Shanchu, now paid more attention to her. Even the maggots on the inte felt that Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu were a better match! They even dared tough at her! She looked at thements under the trending topic that deliberately tagged her. Of course, she wanted nothing more than to scold them back. However, she couldnt do that. Tang Qidai stared at the phone screen. She endured thements to the point that her gaze turned ferocious. Her personal assistant, He Xiang, came out of the room and was shocked to see Tang Qidai sitting in the living room. Ms. Dai, why didnt you turn on the lights? Tang Qidai slowly raised her head. The light from the phones screen was reflected on her face, which made her look even more sinister as she tried to suppress her rage. He Xiang was so shocked that she shivered in fright. Ms. Dai, w-whats wrong with you? She swallowed nervously and turned around to turn on the lights. Behind her, Tang Qidai stood up and walked toward her. He Xiang turned around and was met with Tang Qidais raised palm. Ms Ahh! Before He Xiang could say anything, Tang Qidai gave her another tight p. Who allowed you to turn on the lights? Ms. Dai, I will turn them off immediately Ahh! He Xiangs hand had just reached for the switch when Tang Qidai gave her another tight p. B*tch! Why cant you just go to hell? He Xiang had cute and delicate features. Her eyes, in particr, were unusually lively. No matter how Tang Qidai looked at them, she felt that they were somewhat simr to Lin Shanchus eyes. That was why Tang Qidai hated He Xiang the moment she saw her when thetter came to apply for the job. However, the manager felt that a fresh graduate was more obedient and easier to control, so she asked He Xiang to stay. Tang Qidais eyes went red from anger. She felt that He Xiang, who stood before her at that time, was actually Lin Shanchu. pping He Xiang wasnt enough, so Tang Qidai pushed her to the ground, picked up the baseball bat that was next to her, and started beating He Xiang up with it. Go to hell! He Xiang couldnt stand up anymore, so she could only crawl away in an attempt to escape from Tang Qidai while begging for mercy. Ms. Dai, please please dont hit me anymore She hid under the table and took out her phone to call Tang Qidais manager. Madam, Ms. Dai has gone crazy! Please save me What happened to her? Ahh! Tang Qidai flipped over the table and dragged He Xiang out to continue beating her up. Youre really tough! How are you still not dead? Every time Tang Qidai uttered a sentence, she would strike He Xiang with the baseball bat. Ms. Dai, please let me go The phone screen was still lit up, indicating that the call with the manager had not been cut off. The manager, who heard themotion, screamed in shock, Tang Qidai, what are you doing? She didnt dare to hang up as she picked up her car keys and rushed out immediately. As the manager walked, she tried to persuade Tang Qidai. Thats He Xiang, not Lin Shanchu! Whats the point of killing He Xiang? Can President Lu help you clean up this mess? Stop it! Tang Qidai only stopped when He Xiang stopped moving. She kicked He Xiang twice. Seeing that He Xiang was still not moving, Tang Qidai walked to the side and picked up the formers phone. The call was still ongoing, and the manager was still trying to persuade her. Daidai, calm down. Im already on my way. Ill be at your house soon. Tang Qidai threw the baseball bat to the ground with a loud ng. Shes not moving anymore. I think shes dead. Her tone was light as if she was saying that someone had picked a wildflower from the roadside.. Chapter 94 - 94: I Was Right Chapter 94: I Was Right Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Hearing this, the manager was so scared that she almost crashed into the grassy divider. Stay there and dont go anywhere. Im already downstairs. Its a pity that shes not Lin Shanchu. Tang Qidais voice was calm. The managers heart skipped a beat, but she didnt dare to say anything. She had the key to Tang Qidais house. When the manager opened the door, he saw a pool of blood on the ground. The room was a mess. He Xiang was lying on the floor, motionless. The manager that Lu Shiyuan had found for Tang Qidai was a very experienced one who had gone through a lot in life. However, at this moment, the manager could not help but be stunned by the scene in front of her. She knew that Tang Qidai had a bad temper. However, she did not expect Tang Qidai to be both bad-tempered and cruel. She had actually beaten an innocent little girl up to the point where thetter was half-dead. He Xiang was an honest girl who never made a mistake. Actually, He Xiang and Lin Shanchu did not look alike at all. However, the former had just graduated and was still very innocent, making her look as pure as Lin Shanchu. That was why Tang Qidai always found He Xiang an eyesore. Tang Qidai finally came back to her senses and started to panic. She ordered her manager, Hurry up and get rid of this woman! The manager could not be bothered to hang up. She put her phone aside and squatted down in front of He Xiang to check her breathing. Shes still alive, Tang Qidais expression rxed, but it quickly tensed up again. Why didnt she die? Will she sue me? I still have so many dramas to film! Where would I have the time to deal with thewsuit? The manager shot Tang Qidai a meaningful look. Lets take her to the hospital first. No! Tang Qidai nced at He Xiang in disgust. If the doctor asks how she got injured, what are you going to say? At this moment, He Xiang, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Tang Qidais face, He Xiang hid behind the manager in tear. Madam, please save me Dont be afraid. Well take you to the hospitalter. The manager gently patted He Xiangs head. He Xiangs expression rxed a little, and then she heard the manager speak again. But you have to be obedient. If the doctor asks how you got injured, do you know what to say? He Xiang nced at Tang Qidai with quivering lips. I remember that your employment information states that youre from the countryside and that youre the only daughter in your family, right? the manager said slowly. He Xiangs face paled. Youre so obedient and filial, the manager continued. Im sure you want your parents to spend their twilight years in peace. If the doctor asks me, Ill say that I fell down He Xiang was so scared that tears started flowing down her cheeks. The manager gave Tang Qidai a look that said its done. He Xiang also turned to look at Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai looked away in disgust before saying to her manager, Ill leave everything to you. Im going to stay in a hotel. When Tang Qidai tried to leave, she identally stepped on the blood on the ground. She frowned and scolded, Im so unlucky! He Xiang watched in disbelief as Tang Qidai mmed the door and left. How could there be such a person in this world? Tang Qidai had clearly done something to hurt others, but she did not even feel a trace of guilt. The manager threw her jacket to He Xiang while saying coldly, You should me your misfortune for what happened. He Xiang wrapped her jacket around herself, but she was unable to get up. The manager helped her up impatiently. My phone He Xiang looked at the shattered phone on the ground. The manager had no choice but to pick up the phone and pass it to her. The members started talking about Lu Shiyuan a lot most likely due to the fact that they had eaten the snacks he had given to Lin Shanchu. President Lu is such a nice person. He actually brought so many snacks for Lin Shanchu. He pampers her so much. Im seriously envious of her Lin Shanchu had already forgotten how many times she had heard people praise Lu Shiyuan. She was the one who shared the snacks with them. Shouldnt they praise her? [This is the male leads aura.] The systems voice suddenly sounded in her mind. Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. Why? Just because he has gold embedded on his [beepC]? Thest word was erased by the system. The system sounded exasperated. [You You Youre so uncivilized!] Lin Shanchu retorted, Why do you care? The system was speechless. It couldnt control Lin Shanchu at all. Speak, Lin Shanchu demanded. There was no response. This system was failing. It had been with her for so long, and yet it was still prone to anger to the point that it would shut down on its own. Lin Shanchu walked slowly to the training room. Halfway there, she heard a series of hurried footsteps behind her. Hurry up! Theyll be gone if werete. Quickly! Charge! What were they rushing for? Lin Shanchu turned around, but before she could ask anything, the group of girls ran past her like a gust of wind. Lin Shanchu was stunned for two seconds before she started running after the girls. Although she didnt know what had happened, it was still a good idea to run with them. Lin Shanchu rushed to the big ssroom and smelled the aroma of fried chicken at the door. Yun Wu beckoned Lin Shanchu through the crowd. Shanshan,e quickly. Its time to eat fried chicken! To think such a good thing would happen to her Theyre here! Fried chicken! Calorie bomb! The source of happiness! Lin Shanchu took a piece of crispy fried chicken from Yun Wu and bit into it. Wow! The garric and soy saws chikin tastes sho gooood Lin Shanchus mouth waspletely stuffed with fried chicken, so she was unable to enunciate her words well. I also like garlic and soy sauce chicken the most! Yun Wu said happily. Lin Shanchu took another bite before asking, Who bought the fried chicken? Huo Xunzhou, Yun Wu replied. Lin Shanchu was speechless. The fried chicken in her mouth lost its vor all of a sudden, Suddenly, Lin Shanchu could feel someone staring at her. She looked up as if she had sensed something. In front of her, Huo Xunzhou was sitting in a wheelchair while looking at her calmly. Lin Shanchu silently swallowed the food in her mouth. Then, she turned around. She walked out with the fried chicken. As long as she pretended not to see Huo Xunzhou Huo Xunzhou would not have taken the initiative to talk to her. Shanshan. A deep and maic voice came from behind. Lin Shanchu froze. Sure enough, everyone in sadistic novels was sick in the head. Huo Xunzhou was a cold and aloof person. Not only did he treat the members to fried chicken, but he also took the initiative to talk to her. Lin Shanchu turned around and showed a professional fake smile. Mr. Huo. Huo Xunzhous expression did not change. He only raised an eyebrow slightly. However, Lin Shanchu could clearly feel Huo Xunzhous dissatisfaction with this form of address. The members all knew that Lin Shanchu was the daughter of Huo Xunzhous mentor. Therefore, no one came to join in the fun even when the two of them were talking. There was no one else around them. Huo Xunzhou turned his wheelchair in front of Lin Shanchu and slowly said, was right. The fried chicken in Lin Shanchus hand was no longer tasty. So? Lin Shanchu asked unhappily. This man was really petty. Last time, she had asked Huo Xunzhou to guess how Lu Shiyuan would respond. Huo Xunzhou said that she would not get what she wanted. Although Huo Xunzhou had guessed it right, many days had already passed since then.. Was there a need to mention it again? Chapter 95 - 95: Are You Not Going to Admit It After Kissing Chapter 95: Are You Not Going to Admit It After Kissing Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu even suspected that Huo Xunzhou was deliberately showing off. Huo Xunzhous eyes were calm and his maic voice had a hint of a smile. You must continue to work hard, Shanshan. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. She didnt have any makeup on today. She had tied her hair into a high ponytail, revealing her bright forehead. In fact, she looked younger than her actual age. She was looking at him in confusion with her head slightly tilted. She resembled some kind of innocent animal that didnt know the dangers of the world. At the same time, she looked a little childish. Peoples hearts would ache for her once they saw her. Huo Xunzhous eyes softened whereas a hint of mischief appeared in his tone. Dont you n on taking responsibility for me? Lin Shanchu was confused. What the hell was he talking about? Youve already kissed me, after all Huo Xunzhou deliberately slowed down his speech and prolonged his tone. What nonsense was this? Dont talk nonsense! Lin Shanchu panicked. She looked around to make sure that no one was around before heaving a sigh of relief. Are you not going to admit it after kissing me? It was just A kiss on his hand! Must he word it like this? However, before Lin Shanchu could finish her sentence, she heard a series of coughs behind her. Cough! Cough! Cough! Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Nan Mu and Li Mo. Li MO was coughing non-stop with half a bottle of coke in his hand, while Nan Mu frantically patted Li Mos back. Are you okay? I cant believe a grown-up like you can still choke on coke while drinking Im not okay! Li MO seethed back. Then, Nan Mu and Li MO supported each other as they walked out. Before they left, the former even said, You guys can continue. We didnt hear anything. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Nan Mu and Li MO had thought that she and Huo Xunzhou had something going on. Now, she waspletely unable to exin herself. Huo Xunzhou looked away and cleared his throat. Ill be leaving first. Good luck to you. Although his expression was the same as usual, Lin Shanchu could feel his guilt. Was he feeling guilty now that he caused trouble for her? Lin Shanchu leaned over slightly in front of Huo Xunzhou. She lowered her voice and said, Brother Xunzhou, dont worry. Ill work hard and break off the engagement with Lu Shiyuan as soon as possible. Then, Ill take responsibility for you. Huo Xunzhou blinked quietly. He was speechless for a moment. She took arge bite out of the fried chicken in front of Huo Xunzhou. As expected, the fried chicken was still very delicious. The day of the first public showdown crept up on the members. The atmosphere in the training camp was getting tenser and tenser. Even Xia Jinmeng endured the pain in her foot and started training with her groupmates. Naturally, she had no time to cause trouble for Lin Shanchu. However, everyone was very curious about the training situation of Lin Shanchus group. What kind of performance could an unprofessional group leader and a group of members that were most likely eliminated present? Soon, it was the day before the first public showdown. All the members were to go through a rehearsal. An Youyuns group was the first to go on stage. Their performance style was lively and sweet, and it went perfectly with no one falling behind. It received unanimous praise from everyone. When Lin Shanchus group went on stage, the entire audience was silent. A few of the group members who were most likely to be eliminated were under more psychological pressure, so theypletely forgot their dance moves at first. One of them was Ning Yunxi. When Ning Yunxi realized that she had made a mistake, she started to get nervous. She would cry whenever she was nervous. Annoyed by Ning Yunxis cries, her groupmates decided to stand there without moving. The schedule was already set beforehand, so there was no way the production crew would afford to let them waste time on the stage. In the end, Lin Shanchus group only performed the opening dance moves before getting off the stage. As soon as Lin Shanchu went backstage, Yun Wu approached her. We can still practice more tonight, she said encouragingly to Lin Shanchu in a low tone. Dont worry. Lin Shanchu patted her head. Yun Wu thought that Lin Shanchu wasforting her, which worried her even more. Lin Shanchu was telling the truth. She was really not worried. Everything had gone smoothly in the past training. Her groupmates could do it. It was just that they were suffering from immense psychological pressure. Xia Jinmeng crossed her arms and walked through the crowd. Lin Shanchu, the results of your training for the past half a month are just as everyone expected. Xia Jinmeng didnt dare to be too arrogant in public. She deliberately lowered her voice so that only a few people around could hear her. At first, everyone was not optimistic about Lin Shanchus group. The group had majorly screwed up during the rehearsal, which was an oue the members wanted. Yeah. Were unlike you; youre physically disabled, but youre still determined, Lin Shanchu replied indifferently. Xia Jinmeng was stunned. For a moment, she could not tell if Lin Shanchu wasplimenting her or mocking her. What Shanshan means is, Yun Wu kindly reminded Xia Jinmeng. Although your training is very weak, you have a strong will. So, shesplimenting me? Xia Jinmeng was confused. Yun Wu was speechless. She suspected that Xia Jinmengs IQwas not even a fraction of hers. There were still groups rehearsing on the stage. Lin Shanchu and her groupmates found a spot to sit down. Coincidentally, An Youyuns team was next to them. An Youyun turned around and looked at Lin Shanchu with a smile. Big Sister, dont be angry with them. They made mistakes because they were too nervous. Besides, youre so popr. Even if the performance goes badly, youll still be able to secure a slot in the debut list. As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shanchus groupmates all looked over. All of her groupmates were on the elimination list. An Youyuns words seemed to beforting on the surface, but in reality, she was drawing hatred to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu nced at An Youyun coldly. What makes you think that Im angry? An Youyun didnt expect Lin Shanchu to be so rude in public. She forced a smile before revealing an aggrieved expression. I just thought you were angry because you didnt smile Should I smile even after this group rehearsed badly? Its not like Im mentally ill or something. Lin Shanchu paused in the middle of her sentence because she knew that she was ill. An Youyun felt that Lin Shanchu was a lunatic. She looked so weak that she couldnt even stomp an ant to death, and yet whenever she started verbally attacking people, she resembled a cannon. All of her words would strike people where it hurt the most. An Youyun managed to continue smiling. So, youre angry, right? What does it have to do with you? Lin Shanchu asked. Im just concerned about you An Youyun exined. Lin Shanchu shut her down. Mind your own business. An Youyun was speechless. She looked sweet and was always smiling, making her very popr among the members. When An Youyuns groupmates saw that she had been rebuked by Lin Shanchu, they all gathered around her tofort her in low voices. Only Xia Jinmeng, who was watching from the side, couldnt help butugh. An Youyun had been at odds with Xia Jinmeng for a long time. Before she joined the production crew, An Youyun had snatched her resources. However, An Youyuns group was stronger than Xia Jinmengs group, so Xia Jinmeng never had the chance to deal with her. Hence, upon noticing Lin Shanchu teaching An Youyun a lesson, Xia Jinmeng felt quite happy. After the rehearsal, the members left the studio. Lin Shanchu looked at her depressed groupmates before saying, Lets go out on a walk.. Chapter 96 - 96: Deal With It On Your Own Chapter 96: Deal With It On Your Own Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It was already evening. The sun was setting. The cool evening breeze greeted the girls. The training camp was huge. It came with a garden and an artificialke. Lin Shanchu brought her groupmates to the pavilion next to the artificialke. She looked at the specks of lights in the distance before slowly saying, Weve been busy with training during this period of time. This is the first time weve sat down to rest peacefully. After a brief silence. Groupmate A raised her head and eximed, I dont dare to rest at all! My parents took out their savings so that I could take dancing lessons. If I end up getting eliminated, I dont know how to face them once I get back. Groupmate B agreed. Me too. I just feel sorry for my parents. Im under a lot of pressure right now Groupmate C added, When I came to participate in the show, my parents were very happy. They even told me that they would ask my rtives and friends to vote for me Ning Yunxi also spoke up. My parents look forward to me getting eliminated so that I can return home to raise pigs with them. They think its too hard to enter the entertainment industry. When I wanted to join the show, they were against it Groupmates A, B, and Cforted her. Your situation is quite miserable. At least our parents support us Im different. My parents passed away when I was six years old, Lin Shanchu said calmly. Everyone was speechless. Lin Shanchu was even worse off. It couldnt bepared. But you have a fianc, said groupmate A. Youll be the wife of the CEO of the Lu Corporation, groupmate B added. Groupmate C nodded. Thats right. Whats there for you to be sad about? Lin Shanchus tone was still very calm. Do you think Lu Shiyuan loves me? The groupmates thought about the love-hate rtionship between Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidai. In the years before this, Lin Shanchu, also known as Lu Shiyuans official fiance, was like an outsiderpared to Tang Qidai. Her groupmates fell silent. Lin Shanchu was really pitiful. Her parents were dead, and her fianc didnt love her. Her life seemed bright and beautiful on the outside, but in reality, she had nothing. Lin Shanchu sighed slightly. She looked at them with envy. I really envy all of you. No matter what happens, your parents will always be there to protect you. They will love you unconditionally. Her groupmate agreed. Thats true. Lin Shanchu continued, Even if you are unfortunately eliminated in the end, your parents will be proud of your outstanding performance on the stage. Her groupmates looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly. Since youre already on the elimination list, why not fight with your back against the cliff without any distractions? If youre lucky enough to advance, that means the audience recognizes your ability. If you fail, your parents will still be proud of you, right? Lin Shanchuughed in a low voice. The disappointment was apparent in herughter. I no longer have the chance to make my parents proud. She sat at the edge of the pavilion, the breeze blowing her hair. A trace of mncholy was present on her fair face under the shroud of the night sky. It was exceptionally moving. Her groupmates were a little moved. Ning Yunxi burst into tears. Big Sister, dont be sad. You still have us. Waaaa Lin Shanchus groupmates alsoforted her as well. Thats right. Lets go back and practice a little more. We have to perform well tomorrow even if we have to risk our lives. You have to adjust your mentality and perform well tomorrow. At least you can get the audiences approval, right? Lets work hard together Lin Shanchus groupmates began tofort her. She lowered her eyes to hide the smile that shone within the depths of her pupils. Human nature was evil. The human heart was kind. Most people sympathized with the weak. When necessary, moderate pitifulness and weakness could decrease the distance between people in a very short time. I wanted to enlighten you, but I didnt expect to be enlightened by you. Lin Shanchu raised her head while looking very sincere. She had deliberately acted pitiful just now. But what she said was also true. If her parents were still alive, she would also be the apple of their eyes. There was no need for her to live under someone elses roof. She didnt have to go through Lu Shiyuans torture, and she didnt have to go through everything that was happening to her. She really envied her groupmates. Lets drop the topic. Its time to eat. Lin Shanchus groupmates, who had been in low spirits when they first went out to the garden, were all talking andughing when they returned. When they arrived at the cafeteria, Lin Shanchu immediately noticed Yun Wu, who was looking around. Shanshan. Yun Wu had also seen Lin Shanchu leading her groupmates out of the building. She guessed that they might be having a heart-to-heart talk. However, Yun Wu was still a little worried when she did not see Lin Shanchu return after a long time. Lets eat first. Well talkter. Lin Shanchu said a few words to Yun Wu before heading off to eat with her groupmates. Yun Wu saw that Lin Shanchus groupmates were all talking andughing. They seemed to be in good spirits, so she was slightly relieved. Yun Wus groupmates watched Lin Shanchu and the others leave before they started whispering to each other. Lin Shanchus group should be fine tomorrow, right? Although there was a problem during the rehearsal, theres a chance they could perform exceptionally well during the official performance. Then again, Death of the Universe is quite difficult They knew of the rtionship Yun Wu shared with Lin Shanchu, so they didnt dare to be straightforward with their spections. Initially, everyone was curious about Lin Shanchus group. However, they were no longer curious after the rehearsal. The performance was even worse than they expected. Even if Lin Shanchu was an actual god, it was impossible for her to influence her groupmates to perform better than usual in just one night. Lin Shanchu sat down with her teammates after getting her food. As soon as she sat down, a groupmate gave her some food. You should eat more. This prawn looks quite fresh All five of Lin Shanchus groupmates gave her some food each, resulting in the food of her te resembling a small mountain. Lin Shanchu began to reflect on herself. Was she too good at acting pitiful? I havent eaten yet, so my chopsticks are still clean. Her groupmates thought that Lin Shanchu was concerned about hygiene. Sometimes, it was hard for people to reject the kindness of others. Lin Shanchu smiled and said, Thank you Under the motherly gazes of her groupmates, Lin Shanchu finished all the food they had given her. Since she started the whole pitiful act, she had to deal with it on her own. After dinner, Lin Shanchu brought her teammates back to the training room to practice again. Everyones mentality had changed. After their condition improved, their cooperation became more tacit. Wen Tongtong, who hadnt spoken much,mented excitedly, I feel better than before! I danced instinctively Ning Yunxi was so excited that she wanted to cry again. Dont cry! Groupmates A, B, and C hollered at the same time. Ning Yunxi immediately shut up. The moment she blinked, tears rolled down her cheeks. 11 cant control myself. Groupmates A, B, and C sighed. Forget it. As long as you dance well tomorrow and dont drag Lin Shanchu down, you can cry all you want. All right! Ning Yunxi agreed. Wen Tongtong, who had never liked Ning Yunxi, also patted her on the shoulder. Good luck! Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Did she be the groups favorite by acting pitiful? Lin Shanchu looked at the time. Its nine oclock. Time for bed. But its only nine oclock! Everyone else protested. Lin Shanchu smiled. Youve all practiced very well. Keep this up and rest early. Youll be in your best form for the showdown tomorrow.. Chapter 97 - 97: Arch-Nemesis Chapter 97: Arch-Nemesis Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The groupmates felt that Lin Shanchu made sense. Hence, they all returned to their dorms to sleep. The members from the other groups wanted to see how Lin Shanchus group was doing, but they did not expect to see that the training room was empty. Did Lin Shanchu and the others go back to sleep at such an early hour? Oh my god, are they nning to give up on themselves? Its better to practice for a while than not practicing at all, right? Didnt you see how her groupmates were giving her the cold shoulder during the rehearsal today? If her groupmates arent willing to cooperate, tomorrows official performance will probably be If they were to dance like this tomorrow, theyd definitely get scolded by the audience Xia Jinmeng stood in the crowd and listened to the members discussions. A smile gradually appeared on her face. She had spent so much effort before, and yet she still couldnt get rid of Lin Shanchu. However, she didnt expect Lin Shanchu to go down the path of destruction on her own. Her groups rehearsal went very poorly earlier that day, and yet Lin Shanchu cked off and refused to practice. If the news were to spread, Lin Shanchu would definitely get scolded by the audience. Xia Jinmeng thought about it and came up with a n. The results of Lin Shanchus performance tomorrow could already be predicted. She would definitely fail in the showdown. This was a good time to pull Lin Shanchu down from her position. If Xia Jinmeng wanted things to go smoothly, shed need outside help. Xia Jinmeng avoided the crowd and tracked Jiang Ziyu down. Call Tang Qidai. Xia Jinmeng carefully observed her surroundings, paying attention to whether anyone wasing her way. She couldnt let anyone know about her secret exchanges with Tang Qidai. As Tang Qidais loyalckey, Jiang Ziyu was just as happy as thest time to help her call Tang Qidai. After all, he did not dare to call Tang Qidai on his own ord. Tang Qidai knew that Xia Jinmeng was looking for her again the moment she saw the caller ID. The incidentst time had blown up so much that she hadnt even settled the score with Xia Jinmeng yet, but Xia Jinmeng had taken the initiative to appear right in front of her. How dare you call me? Dont you know that Brother Shiyuan was also involved in the previous incident? Xia Jinmeng was frustrated when her previous n had failed. However, she still wanted to continue working with Tang Qidai to deal with Lin Shanchu, so she could only swallow her anger. Its different this time. We had a rehearsal tonight, didnt we? Lin Shanchus group hadpletely flopped. There was no unity between the groupmates at all. They only performed the opening of the dance before getting off the stage! Really? Tang Qidai asked suspiciously. If you dont believe me, you can ask Jiang Ziyu. He was also at the scene. Xia Jinmeng passed the phone to Jiang Ziyu. Jiang Ziyu took the phone. Yup. Lin Shanchus group performed badly. The director was so angry that he didnt even eat dinner. Its only the first public showdown, and yet Lin Shanchus going to be destroyed. As expected, nothing can help her out in life. Tang Qidai knew that Jiang Ziyu would not lie to her. Lin Shanchu was trash! It was true that Lin Shanchu met Lu Shiyuan before Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchus grades were always better than hers. But what good did it do for her? She was still able to screw everything up even with the good hand of cards dealt to her! How could Lin Shanchu possibly win against Tang Qidai? Xia Jinmeng could feel that Tang Qidai was a little moved as well. She quickly said, We can take advantage of this opportunity topletely eliminate Lin Shanchu from the debut list. I have my own arrangements, Tang Qidai replied with a sneer. Lin Shanchu had been in the limelight during this period of time. She wanted Lin Shanchu to leave the production crew with a ruined reputation! The next morning. The broadcasting camera in the dormitory was turned on. The recording would officially start in the afternoon, so the members all got up early to put on their makeup. The first batch of viewers arrived at the live broadcast room. [Long time no see, beauties!] [Youre up so early! Youve been working very hard!] [Why isnt Lin Shanchu there?] [Does anyone know how Lin Shanchus Death of the Universe rehearsal went?] [I heard rumors iming that the group performed poorly during the rehearsal of Death of the Universe!] [Thats a hoax, right? I saw many people spamming on the shows official thread, saying that the rehearsal went super well] The director was so worried about the rehearsal yesterday that he didnt sleep well. He had nightmares the entire night. In his nightmares, the official performance of Death of the Universe was so bad that the audience in the studio started hurling rotten eggs at the group members. However, as soon as he started working, he found out that thementers were all discussing Lin Shanchu and Death of the Universe, which made him more anxious. So, the director waited on the route that was necessary to reach the cafeteria from the members dormitories. After spotting Lin Shanchu, he pretended to meet her by chance. Lin Shanchu! Ahem! He frantically shot meaningful looks at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu immediately understood. She walked up to the director and stared at the directors head, which was getting balder, for two seconds before asking, What is it? I heard that your group didnt practice muchst night, and instead went to bed. Have you already given up? The director asked as he tugged at the remaining strands of hair he had. Lin Shanchu blinked before replying vaguely, Yeah. The director only knew how to set her up just to reap the ratings. Now, he was finally afraid of the consequences! The directors face fell. Then what should we do? Lin Shanchu replied, Nothing. The director was speechless. Lin Shanchu looked at the directors head again. Rx, or else your hair will fall out even more. Im going to go eat breakfast now Speechless, the director thought, How could she still eat breakfast at a time like this? The director touched his balding head and returned to his office. Director, Death of the Universe is now a trending topic. The assistant pushed the door open and entered. The director felt his temples throbbing. What happened? The assistant showed the director his phone. The topic #Lin Shanchus Death of the Universe was ranked high on the entertainment list. The director tapped on it and almost fainted. The first few Weibo gosts on that tonic were all talking about how awesome Lin Shanchus rehearsal for Death of the Universe was. [Rumor has it that Lin Shanchus performance rehearsal for Death of the Universe was very explosive. Im looking forward to it] Following that, theizens started discussing more. [The production crew must have boosted this trending topic. In a way, this means Lin Shanchus Death of the Universe performance must be decent.] [Now that you mention it, Im really looking forward to it.] [Looks like Death of the Universe will be the dark horse of the first public showdown. [What time does the official live broadcast start? Ill go to the live broadcast room to reserve a spot] Everyone in the production crew knew about Lin Shanchus rehearsal yesterday. They were definitely not the ones boosting the poprity of the topic. That meant Lin Shanchus arch-nemesis could be the only one behind the trending topic! They deliberately raised the audiences expectations of Lin Shanchus performance. If the official performance did not meet the audiences expectations, Lin Shanchu would be criticized heavily. Even the poprity that she had painstakingly umted during this period of time would probably return to its former state. The directors entire body went numb. He really didnt understand. Lin Shanchu was just a small fry before entering the festival group. How was she able to gain so many arch-nemeses? At this point, the director could only call President Nan to discuss the matter. As soon as the call connected, Nan Mu smiled and asked, Youre calling me because of Lin Shanchu again, right? Nan Mu had already concluded that 99% of the directors calls were rted to Lin Shanchu.. Chapter 98 - 98: Outrageous Chapter 98: Outrageous Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The director sighed in return. Someone bought Lin Shanchu her way onto the trending list Oh, that? I know. Dont worry about it. Nan Mu had long discovered that someone had pushed Lin Shanchu onto the trending list. But Lin Shanchus rehearsal yesterday Nan Mu interrupted him. Dont worry. Lin Shanchu will definitely be fine. Besides, its a good thing that she got on the trending list thanks to others efforts. At two oclock in the afternoon. The live broadcast officially began. It was still hosted by Huo Xunzhou and Yu Weixin. When the camera zoomed in on Huo Xunzhou,ments started flying past the screen. [Long time no see! My husband became hotter!] [What a coincidence, Huo Xunzhou is my husband too.] [Yu Weixin: Should I leave?] Yu Weixin began to read out the names of the supporting guests. Lets wee our guest of honor, Tang Qidai! The camera panned to Tang Qidais face. Thementers were confused. [Huh?] [I have so many questions right now.] [Is the pretentiousdy unable to score herself more gigs?] [This is so outrageous! Hahaha!] Next was Ji Yuan, who had previously been an assistant mentor. After the host introduced the guests, he began to exin the rules of thepetition. There are a total of 15 groups of members participating in thispetition. All 800 of the audience members who are present at the scene can pick up the voting devices in their hands and vote for the group member that they think is the most charming onstage. The group that wins the title of the most popr group will get an additional opportunity to show off Next, please enjoy the members performances. The order of the performance was decided by drawing lots. Yun Wus group was the first group to go onstage. The production crew was very satisfied with this result. Everyone had witnessed Yun Wus strength, so she could lead her groupmates to warm up the atmosphere. Not only was Yun Wu powerful, but she was also good at teaching the other members. However, there was still a rift between the ordinary members and the talented stars. Even though the groupmates were already doing well and Yun Wu had devoted a lot of effort to teaching them, the gap between them was still obvious. Thementers started discussing. [The girl in the central position is so awesome. Shes obviously much stronger than her groupmates!] [Thats Yun Wu, the sixth ce of the previous episode!] [Boss Yun will never let us down.] Yun Wus group finished their performance. The host announced that the audience could start voting. After the voting session, it was the mentors turn to give their evaluation. Qin Shuya picked up the microphone and said, Yun Wu, dazzling is a term meant to describe you. Your performance is perfect, but Bai Yumented. He paused for a moment. Thementers were curious. [ Big Boss Yun is so powerful. I refuse to believe that Bai Yu can find fault with her.] Bai Yu continued, Members of a girl group need to be good at singing and dancing. I look forward to your attempt at something else next time. The camera cut to Yun Wu just in time to capture her raising an eyebrow. Thementers went wild. [That action of raising her brow is somehow arrogant. Haha!] [Yun Wus sweet side will only be unlocked in front of Lin Shanchu.] [Ill trante what Yun Wu means with her brow-raising action. You think you can control me?] [Hahaha! It does look that way] Xu An said, Dancing isnt my strong suit, but I think Yun Wus group performance is overall an enjoyable experience for the audience. All of you have made great progress. Thementers were allughing. [Hahaha! He ims that dancing is not his strong suit, but hisment is longer than the professional dancer!] The votes for Yun Wus group would be announced after the second group. The second group was Xia Jinmengs group. Before the performance, there would be a clip of the group members training. Xia Jinmeng had many die-hard fans. When they saw that Xia Jinmeng was injured, their hearts ached for her. [My heart is aching. Mengmengs foot must be in pain.] [Mengmengs life is really too difficult. She finally had the chance to participate in a talent show, but she identally fell and injured herself.] [Shes still practicing even though shes injured. Mengmeng is really good at enduring hardships, but she has to take care of herself.] [Mengmeng has been working so hard. We must work hard to ensure her debut!] [Lets vote for Mengmeng first!] Xia Jinmengs group had to make some changes to the original dance moves in order to cooperate with her. The performance style was also much gentler. It wasnt as explosive as Yun Wus group performance. After the performance ended, the audience apuded in unison, but they were not as enthusiastic as the apuse they had given to Yun Wus group. After the audience voted, it was time for the mentors to give theirments. The camera only cut to Qin Shuya and Xu An. Bai Yu didnt say anything. Thementers started specting. [What about Bai Yu? I want to listen to hisments!] [The production crew must have stopped him from saying anything!] [Xia Jinmeng must have major connections to the production crew. I can rte to her not being able to dance well due to her foot injury, but she cant even sing well. Yet, the production crew is still protective of her.] Xia Jinmengs fans immediately retorted on thement section. [Its already not easy for Mengmeng to continue performing in this state. Cant you be morepassionate?] [Isnt it because certain peoples fans are afraid of Mengmeng snatching their idols spots? Thats why they hate Mengmeng without a reason!] Xia Jinmeng was in second cest week, while Lin Shanchu was first. The position she could fight for was naturally the first ce. Lin Shanchus fans refused to be outdone. [A certain person has been with the production crew for so long, and yet they never produced a mindblowing performance. Not only that, but they keeping up with conspiracy theories while acting very paranoid.] [Competitions are supposed to be fair for all. Everyone can use their strengths to fight for the top spot.] Everyone knew that Xia Jinmeng was only able to rank in the top two because of her die-hard fans. Xia Jinmengs fans felt a little guilty, so they quickly changed the topic. [Focus on your own idols. At least our idols performance is perfect and wless.] [As for the one that got on the trending list, I hope they wont make any mistakes during their performance.] The host then went on stage. Next, well be announcing the votes for the two groups. Please look at the big screen. The screen disyed the individual members vote count. With the exception of Yun Wu and Xia Jinmeng, the votes of the other members had been disyed. The average votes for Yun Wus group were higher. Jinmeng, how many votes do you think youll have? Yu Weixin asked Xia Jinmeng. Im actually not too satisfied with my performance. I dont think Ill get many votes. Xia Jinmeng tucked her hair behind her ear while pretending to be humble. Yun Wu, what about you? Yu Weixin asked Yun Wu. Yunwu still had that cool expression on her face. I should have more votes than Xia Jinmeng. Yu Weixin was speechless. As expected, people who were close to Lin Shanchu dared to speak their minds. Thementers went crazy. [Boss Yuns personality is really amazing. Shes so capable and often speaks bluntly!] Yu Weixin said while maintaining his professional smile, Lets reveal the final vote count. Congrattions, Yun Wu, for obtaining 480 votes, which is the highest number of votes among the individual members so far. At the same time, I would like to congratte Xia Jinmeng for bing the second most-voted individual member, second only to Yun Wu. Thank you, everyone. Yun Wu bowed. The smile on Xia Jinmengs face froze for a moment before she bowed and thanked everyone as well. Not only did she not get as many votes as Yun Wu, but the total votes of her group were also far behind Yun Wus group. She had always been pampered by her fans. Last time, she lost to Lin Shanchu, and this time, she couldnt even win against Yun Wu. Her mentality had copsed. Naturally, the smile on her face could not be maintained.. Chapter 99 - 99: You’re Super Awesome Chapter 99: Youre Super Awesome Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Seeing that Xia Jinmengs expression had changed, her fans started tofort her again. [Mengmeng, dont be sad. Try harder next time.] [Mengmeng is very strong. Its just that her injury has affected her performance. She will definitely perform better next time.] [All the best, Mengmeng. Youre already doing very well.] Some of the audience in the live broadcast room were fans of the other members, while the other portion was the free-flowing audience that was attracted by the production crew thanks to Lin Shanchus performance. The free-flowing audience didnt do things such as bing fans of other celebrities. As soon as they saw Xia Jinmengs expression change, they started mocking her immediately. [The audience has sharp eyes.] [Is it that difficult to admit that Boss Yun is the best?] [Xia Jinmengs expression changed so quickly that its so funny!] [The fans in thement section are starting to boast about Xia Jinmengs strength again. During the period between the initial stage assessment all the way to the first public showdown, when had she ever demonstrated her strength?] [You guys dont understand. Shes the type that dotes on her fans. Only her fans know how strong she is.] [Hahahaha! Im going to die fromughter! Seriously!] The actual audience group was way bigger than Xia Jinmengs group of fans. Soon, Xia Jinmengs fansments were lost in thement section. The moment Yun Wu returned backstage, she slid up next to Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, am I awesome? The front desk staff happened to be announcing the next group of members who were about to go on stage. The camera was cut to the scene behind the stage at that moment, so it happened to capture Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu. Of course, the camera also perfectly recorded the moment when Yun Wu asked Lin Shanchu if she was awesome while tilting her head. Thement section was filled with spamments. [Shanshan, am I awesome?] filled the entire screen. [Its true that Boss Yun is only sweet and cuddly in front of Lin Shanchu.] [Shes super cute!] [Tell her shes awesome, Lin Shanchu!] [LinYun couple, charge!] Under the leadership of the unscrupulous director for viewership ratings, the staff of the production crew was all experts in reading the room. They all knew what the audience wanted to see. While the cameraman was recording the next group of members performing on stage, he didnt forget to take a three-second shot of Lin Shanchu and Yun wu. Lin Shanchu smiled while looking at Yun Wu. Youre super awesome. Yun Wu hugged Lin Shanchus arm and rubbed against her happily. Then, she remembered that thetter had to perform on stageter, so she quickly helped her to tidy up. Thementers went ballistic. [Theyre killing me!] [She sounds so doting! Ahhh! Im dead!] [Please, Im begging you! Sacrifice me so that they can celebrate their rtionship!] The next group of members had already gone on stage, so the camera cut over to their stage. Yun Wu then lowered her voice to speak to Lin Shanchu. Why is Tang Qidai here as a guest of honor? Shes here to see me. Lin Shanchu smiled. Huh? When Tang Qidai came to visit Lin Shanchu at the production crew, Lin Shanchus attitude toward her was enough to show that they were not good friends at all. Therefore, Tang Qidai would not be so kind to visit Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu continued, She wants to watch me fail before stomping on me. Yun Wu frowned before harrumphing coldly. I think shes here to dig her own grave! Lin Shanchu put her index finger to her lips and gestured for Yun Wu to keep quiet. It was to indicate that there was a camera positioned right next to them and that Yun Wu must mind her words. Yun Wu pursed her lips and did not say anything else. In the following performances, other than the two singing groups, the other groups didnt fail in their performances at all. However, seeing as Yun Wu the expert had already performed first, the members that came after her couldnt surpass her in terms of votes. Hence, Xia Jinmeng was still in the top three when it came to the individual member votes. However, Xia Jinmeng had always thought highly of herself and had always looked up to the first ce. She could not ept this ranking at all. Her expression was cold the entire time, and no one dared to provoke her. Finally, there were only two groups left. Many of the audience members were here for Death of the Universe. By then, they were already getting impatient. [Its Lin Shanchus groups turn now, right?] [Did Lin Shanchu withdraw from thepetition?] [The production crew deliberately arranged for Lin Shanchu to be at the back just to bait us!] [I dont want to be baited, but Lin Shanchus Death of the Universe performance is too enticing] Under everyones anticipation, the host announced the next performance. Lets wee the group members wholl be performing I Like You the Most with a round of apuse I Like You the Most was a cheerful and healing love song that had a sweet melody. It was the song that An Youyun had chosen. It was also her usual style. Thementers were happy. [Our sweet Anan is finally performing!] [Why is it this style again? Is An Youyun only capable of performing this style? Im starting to get sick of it.] [If youre tired of watching, you can always leave! Who forced you to stay here and watch anyway?] [Wow, you fans sure are hard-headed! Are you the ones who sponsored this show?] An Youyun had always adopted the sweet persona. Naturally, she could perfectly handle such a cute and fluffy style of music. Therefore, she was very confident on the stage and was able to perform normally, which made the performance perfect. After the performance ended, there were even audience members who cheered for An Youyun. Compared to Xia Jinmeng, An Youyun was more popr among the neutral audience. After the voting ended, it was the mentors turn to evaluate. Xu An, who had always been gentle, praised and encouraged every member. As for hisment for An Youyun, who took up the central position, he only gave a simplement .Both your persona and the song are very sweet, but theres still room for improvement in your singing. All the best! He passed the microphone to Bai Yu. The directors pleading voice came through the earpiece. Mr. Bai, please give a few morements. Also, please use gentler words. I Like You the Most was a song that focused more on the singers vocals. Xu An was a professional singer, but he didntment much. The director also knew the reason. It was because An Youyuns style was too monotonous, so there was nothing much toment on. However, the production crew hoped that the mentors would be gentler to the members since it was only the first public showdown. Bai Yu was known for his sharp tongue, so the production crew reminded him to be gentler. Bai Yu held the microphone in his hand as a hint of hesitation shed across his face. His gaze swept across the members on the stage. In the end, he only slowly said two words, Good luck. The directors crew was speechless. Bai Yu probably only heard the word gentle. Then, he handed the microphone to Qin Shuya. It wasnt that he didnt want toment on it, but these members, including An Youyun, had all followed the same style from the initial stage assessment all the way to the first public showdown. He had said what needed to be said and praised what needed to be praised. If he was asked to give a few morements, hed start criticizing the members instead. However, Bai Yu was still someone who followed the basic principles. The words good luck was the biggestpromise he could make with the production crew as long as he didnt go against his heart Qin Shuya also heard the production crews request for her to make morements through her earpiece. As a female mentor, she was more meticulous and coulde up with morepliments on the fly. She praised the members for their beautiful clothing and suitable makeup. In the end, she concluded, I have high hopes for you, An Youyun. Thementers were debating Qin Shuyasments. [Ms. Qin likes Anan a lot! She keeps praising her!] [Can you pay more attention to what Ms. Qin said? All she did waspliment An Youyuns cute looks, beautiful costumes, and suitable makeup.. Did shepliment her singing and dancing?] Chapter 100 - 100: What Happened to Easing the Atmosphere? Chapter 100: What Happened to Easing the Atmosphere? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion To the members of I Like You the Most , please take a break backstage. Next, lets invite thest group of members The audience members below the stage shouted the name of the song Lin Shanchus group would be performing. Its Death of the Universe! Huo Xunzhou held the microphone and said with a faint smile in his eyes, Everyone has already shouted out the name of thest song. Its the group who will be performing Death of the Universe! There was a burst of cheers from the audience. Thementers were very excited. [Shes here! Shes finally here!] [I almost fell asleep from all the waiting!] [Lets see how Lin Shanchu screws up!] [I came from the trending list. Rumor has it that Death of the Universe had an explosive rehearsal. Lets see how explosive it actually is. :funny_emoji:] [Hey, everyone. Next, well watch the live broadcast of a celebrity majorly screwing up a performance onstage] Lin Shanchus fans did not dare to say anything. Since the production crew had closed the live broadcast room for the past few days, they did not know how Lin Shanchus group was doing. If that group really screwed up, anything they said now could serve to bite Lin Shanchu in the ass in the future. As Lin Shanchu and the others went on stage, the number ofments on the live broadcast reached the peak. The director, who was sitting behind the camera, looked at the real-time data. He was happy but also nervous at the same time. As expected, the key element of poprity was the strongest. The members went on stage and began to introduce themselves. Yu Weixin was originally the one leading the segment. However, when it was Lin Shanchus turn, Huo Xunzhou suddenly turned on his microphone. Lin Shanchu, Tang Qidai personally came to the scene to cheer you on. Do you have anything to say to her? The mans deep alluring eyes stared at Lin Shanchu, and his voice revealed his usual indifference. It was just that his cadence was slightly faster than usual, not to mention he sounded quite light and happy. However, only people who were very close to him could detect that change. Lin Shanchu could tell the difference. She really suspected that Huo Xunzhous bad habit of causing trouble had been infected by the director. If it was in private, she could have just told Huo Xunzhou to mind his own business. However, since they were broadcasting everything live right now, she still had to take her manners into consideration. Of course, I do. A gentle smile was spread on Lin Shanchus face. The camera locked onto Tang Qidai. The smile on Tang Qidais face was the same as Lin Shanchus. Thementers were confused. [Am I imagining things? Why do I feel that Tang Qidai looks a little like Lin Shanchu?] [How are they simr? Their facial features dont look the same at all.] [Its not the facial features. Its the overall demeanor and behavior that gave people a simr feeling.] [I wonder who learned from whom.] Tang Qidai still had the aura of an important supporting female character. Lin Shanchu saw her at first nce. Yu Weixin handed the microphone to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu held the microphone and said in a leisurely tone, Have you not received any gigs recently? Tang Qidai, who had just received the microphone, froze when she heard that. No matter how one heard it, this rhetorical question did not sound friendly. Lin Shanchu was really courting death. She even dared to talk to her like this during the live broadcast. As long as she maintained smiling and nonchnt, the contrast between her and Lin Shanchu would be more obvious. At that time, theizens would definitely scold Lin Shanchu to death. There was no trace of anger on Tang Qidais face. She had a gentle expression that indicated that she and Lin Shanchu were still good friends. Work has been fine. Why do you ask? Lin Shanchu looked like she was up to no good. If it wasnt for the fact that you couldnt get any jobs, why would youe to this show as a supporting guest? Tang Qidai was speechless. F*ck! How was she supposed to respond to this? Thementers wereughing. [Lin Shanchu asked the question that Ive been meaning to ask the whole time.] [Tang Qidais face has darkened so much. Is she really unable to receive any more gigs?] [Hahaha! I knew Id be able to watch a good show! Lin Shanchu didnt let me down, as expected!] [This is the first time Ive seen the mistress itching to get her ass whooped by the legal wife!] [Im going to puke just from looking at her. How did Tang Qidai maintain her face to be so thick-skinned? Why did she have to pretend to be good friends with Lin Shanchu?] Tang Qidais fans started to defend her. [Daidai isnt pretending at all. They are good friends, to begin with.] [Tang Qidai was kind enough toe and cheer for Lin Shanchu, but she ended up getting scolded. You haters are heartless!] [A person like Lin Shanchu really doesnt deserve Tang Qidais love and affection!] [Its because Daidai is too sentimental and kind that she still treats Lin Shanchu as a friend even after being hurt by her time and time again.] The performance had not even started, but thements were already in an uproar. The director was the happiest. Lin Shanchu was definitely the best! The key element of poprity would always be his goddess! Tang Qidai felt a little better when she thought about how Lin Shanchus next performance would definitely fail. She quickly adjusted her emotions. Its your first time performing on stage. Of course, I have toe to the venue to cheer for you. Oh. Do you really care about me that much? Lin Shanchu asked indifferently. Of course, Tang Qidai replied gently. Lin Shanchu should continue to seek death! The prouder she was now, the more miserable her death would beter! Lin Shanchuughed while tilting her head with the innocence of a little girl. Then did you post on Weibo to help canvass votes for me? This question caught Tang Qidai off guard. It had been more than a month since Lin Shanchu joined the show. Tang Qidai naa not even mentlonea Lin snau on welD0, let alone canvassing ror votes for Lin Shanchu. Tang Qidais flustered expression could be clearly seen on the camera. The audience in the live broadcasting room collectively revealed their sardonic sides. Arge wave ofments that repeated [We are good friends.] upied the screen. [Although I didnt know that she was allergic to mangoes and I didnt help canvass votes for her, we are still good friends. ] [Since were good friends, her boyfriend cares more about me than he does about her.] [All of you are masters at being pretentious. I admit defeat.] The atmosphere in the studio instantly froze. The process had to continue. The production team would not allow the atmosphere to remain stagnant and awkward. Mr. Huo, can you help ease the atmosphere? the director asked Huo Xunzhou through the earpiece. Huo Xunzhou was a superstar and popr with the audience. He could say anything to ease the awkward atmosphere. Huo Xunzhou adjusted his earpiece and picked up the microphone cooperatively. As far as I know, Tang Qidai, who ims to be a good friend, did not post anything on Weibo to get votes for Lin Shanchu. The directors crew was speechless. What happened to easing the atmosphere? The audience booed loudly from their seats. Thementers were allughing. [That was a public execution! Hahaha!] [Hes so mean, but I love him so much!] [Huo Xunzhou is so charming even when hes trying to undermine others!] [Hot tip: Lin Shanchu is the daughter of Huo Xunzhous beloved mentor. Huo Xunzhou has always treated Lin Shanchu as a sister.] [Huo Xunzhou, a man of few words, actually stood up for Lin Shanchu in public! Guys, I want to ship them together again!] [Yes! We can always ship them as the best siblings!] Tang Qidai did not expect Huo Xunzhou to expose her on the spot. She panicked and quickly thought of another excuse. I Huo Xunzhou did not seem to notice that Tang Qidai was about to speak. He interrupted, I believe that Lin Shanchu wants to obtain the votes from the audience with her own strength.. Chapter 101 - 101: Beauty is Only Lin Shanchu’s Strength Not Mentioning Chapter 101: Beauty is Only Lin Shanchus Strength Not Mentioning Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As Huo Xunzhou spoke, his eyes had already fallen on Lin Shanchu. The camera also cut to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu went along with Huo Xunzhou fluently. Thats right, I also want to be like you, Mr. Huo. I want to earn everyones affection through my own strength. Her eyes were very serious. Huo Xunzhou stared at her intently for a second or two. After making sure that her serious expression was genuine, he smiled. Then, let everyone see your strength. He turned around and faced the camera. Next up, please watch the performance of the dance group for Death of the Universe! Thementers went ballistic. [Hes smiling at the camera! Im dead!] [F*ck! Its finally happening! Im so nervous!] [Its nothing to win in arguments. Use your strength to p back on the stage!] [To be honest, Lin Shanchus honest personality is quite likable, but I dont think her performance will be good.] [I hope she can live up to Huo Xunzhous admiration and not perform badly!] Lin Shanchus group was dressed in red. All the members of the group were physically attractive. They had fair skin and long legs, and they looked cool and beautiful in their red costumes. As soon as the music started, the members took their ces, and their eyes became sharp. Everyone treated this performance as theirst performance in the show. Without the pressure, they were rxed and did not forget their movements because of nervousness. No one made any mistakes in such an intensive dance. Also, they nailed their tempo perfectly without dancing too quickly or too slowly. Everyone was fully focused. Even if they were to get eliminated in the end, they had to ensure that Lin Shanchu remained on the debut list. The power of unity should not be underestimated at any time. As the music entered the climax, the dance moves became more and more difficult. However, everyone was getting more and more excited as they started to immerse themselves in the performance. The audience below the stage was infected. They began to cheer for them. A barrage of exmations appeared on the bullet screen. [Who imed that Lin Shanchu cant do it?] [What is it that Lin Shanchu cant do at all?] [Lin Shanchu seriously led this group to victory! Sister Lin, youre awesome! -voice break-] [Everyone in this group is amazing!] [As a fan of SOF, Lin Shanchus team might not have a good foundation, but they have perfectly interpreted the power that Death of the Universe is trying to convey! ] [Her gaze, her legs, and her performance! Lin Shanchu, you must get your debut right now!] Thements went crazy. The audiences screams had not stopped at all. The director touched the top of his balding head and let out a long sigh of relief. Backstage. All the members widened their eyes in shock. Oh my god! Death of the Universe is so powerful! Itspletely different from yesterdays rehearsal! That group might be the most popr group! Lin Shanchu is really awesome Yun Wu immediately screamed and cheered happily. Ahhh! Shanshan is so awesome! She had also gone to see Lin Shanchus group training before. However, she had never seen Lin Shanchu and the rest of the group training together. She only knew that Lin Shanchu would definitely be fine, but she did not expect Lin Shanchu to lead her teammates so well. Meanwhile, Xia Jinmeng, who was watching from the side, felt her heart turn cold. She had been looking for Lin Shanchus mistakes, but she could not find a single one even when the performance was almost over. This made her extremely annoyed. She was even more annoyed when she heard Yun Wus words. Shes going to be the most popr member this time. Whats there to be happy about? You reek of jealousy. Yun Wu shot her a nce. Xia Jinmeng retorted, Me? Jealous? Whats your rank, huh? Yun Wu gave Xia Jinmeng a meaningful look, deciding to let her realize on her own. Xia Jinmeng was speechless. In the guest seating area at the front, Tang Qidai was just like Xia Jinmeng. She stared at Lin Shanchu with a serious expression, trying to find out if she had made any mistakes. However, until the end of the performance, Lin Shanchu did not make any mistakes. Tang Qidai gripped the armrest of the chair so tightly that her newly manicured nails started loosening. She still could not ept the fact that Lin Shanchu had actually performed Death of the Universe. How could Lin Shanchu, that trash, be able to perform that dance well? She got someone to boost Lin Shanchu to the trending list and convinced her manager to let her attend the show just to witness Lin Shanchus tragic performance onstage. She didnte here to watch people cheer for Lin Shanchu! The moment the performance ended and the music stopped, thunderous apuse erupted from the audience. Tang Qidai could not help but take deep breaths to suppress the burning anger in her heart. She swallowed her anger and followed suit by pping mechanically. The apuse only subsided after a while. What a wonderful performance! Isnt that right, everyone? Yu Weixin eximed after getting on the stage. He raised his voice when he spoke the second half of the sentence. Yeah! The audience responded loudly in unison. Thement section was also dominated by the word [Yeah!]. [What kind of goddess is Lin Shanchu? She performed the dance of the underworld during the initial assessment stage, and now she performed the dance belonging to a boy band!] [Everyone in this group is great! Even Ning Yunxi pulled her weight!] [Ning Yunxi: Mind your manners!] [In front of the long-legged cool beauties in red dresses, the fairies in white dresses are simply not worth mentioning!] [Im dead. Is beauty really just Lin Shanchus strength thats not worth mentioning?] Next, the voting round shallmence, Yu Weixin announced. After the voting session ended, it was time for the mentors toment. Qin Shuya picked up the microphone impatiently. Gentlemen, Ill go first. Bai Yu and Xu An both gestured for her to continue. Qin Shuya turned to look at Lin Shanchu, her eyes full of undisguised admiration. Lin Shanchu, I hate the fact that I dont have a voting device in my hands. Otherwise, I would definitely vote for you. As a professional dance instructor, saying such words was undoubtedly the greatest recognition of Lin Shanchus skill. The director gave Lin Shanchu a close-up. After the dance, Lin Shanchu was still a little breathless. The thick stage makeup on her innocent face didnt sh at all. Beads of sweat hung on her fair forehead, and her hair was wet with sweat, which added to her charm. Thementers swooned over her. [Were all adults here, so Ill be blunt. Big sister, please give me a chance! Ahhhh!] [My mom asked me why I was licking the screen earlier] [Thats enough, you guys! Can you make room for me to lick the screen too?] Thank you, Ms. Qin. Lin Shanchu bowed slightly. Im not done yet! Qin Wuya continued, Actually, Ive been worried about you since the initial stage assessment, but now, I feel that my worries were unnecessary. You have tenacity, and a very strong tenacity too, to boot. This is what we need the most in our line of work Qin Shuya couldnt help but drone on and on happily. It was until the directors crew shouted at her through the earpiece. Ms. Qin, the time for this segment is quite limited. Please give the other mentors a chance toment. Qin Shuya could only stopmenting about Lin Shanchu before turning to the other members. I heard that all of you are on the elimination list, but your performance today made me feel that youre not bad at all. Its just that the audience hasnt seen you yet, but the audience should have seen you by now.. I wish you all the best! Chapter 102 - 102: Grudge Between Two Husbands Chapter 102: Grudge Between Two Husbands Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ning Yunxi burst into tears after hearing Qin Shuyas words. Since Lin Shanchu was standing next to her, Ning Yunxi pounced into her arms and started crying. Ning Yunxi had always loved to cry. She had been so serious in her performance just now and did not shed a single tear. Lin Shanchu and the other groupmates were very pleased to see that. Since Ning Yunxi wanted to cry her heart out, Lin Shanchu decided to let her do so. Lin Shanchu even patted Ning Yunxis head tofort her. In the end, Ning Yunxi cried even louder. The other groupmates had always been in the background since they joined the production crew This was the first time they had received their mentors approval, so they could not help but tear up. They could have endured it. However, they could not help it when Ning Yunxi was crying so sincerely. Wen Tongtong usually didnt talk much to people. Compared to her, the beautiful but miserable Lin Shanchu was much easier to get along with. So, they all rushed into Lin Shanchus arms and cried. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She didnt think she was close enough to hug her groupmates and cry together. However, her groupmates seemed to trust her a lot. It was as if she was very reliable in their eyes. After a short moment of confusion, Lin Shanchu reached out and patted their heads one by one. All right, thats enough. Stop crying. As sheforted them, she realized that her groupmates were crying even more. Her teammates were very touched. At the same time, they felt sorry for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was clearly the most miserable one, but she remained strong enough tofort them. Lin Shanchu, who didnt know what was going on, was speechless. What did they want her to do? She really didnt know how tofort people. After all, she didnt know how to do anything other than cry in the past. Thementers were heartbroken. [I dont know why, but I feel like crying too.] [Lin Shanchu: Why are you all crying? Ill justfort you. Huh? Why are you still crying? Should I keepforting you or not?] [Im so envious that they can cry in the arms of a beautiful woman!] [Ms. Qin is right. Lin Shanchu is really tenacious. She looks weak, but shes not really weak. I have high hopes for her!] The people at the scene were amused by Lin Shanchus helpless expression. The beautiful woman didnt know how tofort people. She just stood there, not knowing what to do and feeling anxious. No matter how they looked at it, they felt that she was cute. Fortunately, her groupmates were quite sensible. After Lin Shanchuforted them, they gradually calmed down. Yu Weixin still had a smile on his face. Lets wee the members of I Like You the Most onstage. The two groups of members stood side by side on the stage. An Youyuns groups song was a cute love song, and their costumes were also very cute and frilly. Lin Shanchus group was wearing the same heavy makeup and bright red costumes. When they stood there, they looked like a bunch of eye-catching wild roses. The contrast between the two groups was too strong. Thementers started discussing the groups. [The group of Death of the Universe is seriously attractive.] [Im starting to worry about I Like You the Most.] [The victory has been decided.] [Theres no need to point out who the victor is before the actual result is released.] [Well, they just refuse to ept the truth.] It wasnt just thement section that was arguing about the votes for the two groups. Even the audience started to discuss among themselves. An Youyun had always been popr. Lin Shanchu came first in the previous episode, and her performance today was extraordinary. Everyone knew in their hearts that the queen of poprity was very likely to be one of these two. Among the members whose votes had already been announced, the only one who couldpete with these two was Yun Wu. Huo Xunzhou flipped through the script in his hand and announced, Next, well be announcing the final votes for Death of the Universe and I Like You the Most. Please look at the screen! On the big screen, the votes for the two groups of members other than the two in the center kept jumping. When the final tally came to a stop, it shocked everyone immensely. The mentors looked at each other. The audience was whispering to each other. How did this happen? This is really too surprising Huo Xunzhou also frowned slightly. Huo Xunzhou picked up the microphone. So far, the total votes of the five members of Death of the Universe is 480. The total votes of the five members of I Like You the Most is 240. There were a total of 800 people in the audience. Assuming everyone cast their votes, Lin Shanchu could get a maximum of 320 votes. On the other hand, An Youyuns maximum vote count was 560. An Youyuns poprity was clear for all to see, and there was nothing wrong with her performance today. No matter how bad she was, it was impossible for her to only have 300 votes. Thementers were baffled. [What the f*ck!] [Whats going on?] [ it seems that Lin Shanchu wont be the queen of poprity.] [Only Yun Wu canpete with An Youyun.] [Yun Wus previous ranking caused her to fall out of the debut list. I dont think shell be able topete with An Youyun. ] An Youyun heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the statistics. She would definitely be the queen of poprity today. An Youyuns eyes were filled with confidence. She raised her chin slightly and waited for Huo Xunzhou to announce the final votes for her and Lin Shanchu. However, the directors crew, also known as the troublemakers, would never let Huo Xunzhou announce the final votes so easily. They wanted him to leave everyone on a cliffhanger. Bai Yu, who had always been a man of few words, was anxious. Mr. Huo, dont keep us in suspense! Hurry up and announce Lin Shanchus final votes! Thementers agreed with him. [Bai Yu is so direct! I like that side of him!] [I can tell that Bai Yu is more interested in Lin Shanchus votes.] [Me too! Im really looking forward to Lin Shanchus votes!] Do you really want to know? Huo Xunzhou nced at Bai Yu. Yes. Bai Yu nodded. Im not telling you. Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow. His tone and expression were very indifferent. But his tone was very serious. He clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Bai Yu. Bai Yu was speechless. He did not understand. How had he offended Huo Xunzhou? Thementers were confused. [Huh?] [Does Bai Yu have a grudge against my husband?] [Does Mr. Huo have a grudge against my husband?] [Is there a grudge between two of mv husbands?] The directors crew also felt that it was quite sudden. The director said to Huo Xunzhou through his earpiece, Whats wrong, Mr. Huo? Huo Xunzhou adjusted his earpiece and pretended nothing had happened. Then, he gave Yu Weixin a look. All right, Yu Weixin said. Now, Ill announce the final vote count for An Youyun. On the big screen, the number on the bar-shaped statistics chart with An Youyuns name started increasing. When the number stopped moving, a muttered discussion started again. Thementers were all very confused. Surprise shed through Yu Weixins eyes. An Youyuns final vote count is 400 votes! Thementers reacted immediately. [Why does Anan only have 400 votes?] [Oh my god! Anan performed so well, but she only got 400 votes!] [Thats because someone else is better than your Anan!] [Although our Anan only has 400 votes, she still has more than Lin Shanchu!] When Lin Shanchus vote count was about to be announced, Yu Weixin sensibly stepped back and gave his spot to Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchus final vote count is 318! Huo Xunzhous eyes were still on the screen as he added, Congrattions, Lin Shanchu.. Chapter 103 - 103: The Official Show Begins Chapter 103: The Official Show Begins As soon as Huo Xunzhou finished speaking, the crowd burst into apuse. There were even some in the audience who were shouting, Youre the best, Death of the Universe! Thementers were in an uproar. [Death of the universe has a total of 798 votes! Only two people forfeited their votes! ] [Although Lin Shanchu isnt the queen of poprity, her group is the most popr!] [The production crew really did put in a lot of effort in selecting the audience. The results of the voting are very realistic.] [No one in the Death of the Universe group screwed up. Lin Shanchu didnt be the queen of poprity because the votes are split among all the members.] [Anyway, Big Sister Lin is awesome!] The audience spammed another round of [Big Sister Lin is awesome!] in thement section. Yu Weixin continued with the process. Now, lets wee Yun Wu to the stage. When Yu Weixin announced that Yun Wu was the queen of poprity, thement section was soon filled with [Thats to be expected!]. Not only did An Youyun not be the queen of poprity, but the total votes of her group only allowed her to remain in the top eight groups. She had never been so embarrassed before. However, she forced herself to squeeze out a smile in front of the camera. Congrattions, Yun Wu. Youve finally surpassed Lin Shanchu. These words didnt sound very pleasant to the ear. The corners of Yun Wus eyes revealed a faint smile. You have to work hard too. Even Xia Jinmengs votes are higher than yours. Both she and An Youyun were not holding their microphones, so the audience could only see the two of them conversing, but they did not know what they were talking about. The smile on An Youyuns face froze. Ever since Xia Jinmeng returned to the country, she had been suppressing An Youyun in every aspect. This time, Xia Jinmeng performed on the stage with an injury, but she had more votes than An Youyun. Thementers started specting about the conversation. [What did Boss Yun say to An Youyun? An Youyuns expression changed after that. ] [I can tell from Yun Wus smug expression that she must have said something nasty. Anan has a good personality and is friendly to everyone. Im so heartbroken that she has to be bullied like this.] [I used to have a good impression of Yun Wu, but now Ive decided to be a hater.] [The live broadcast is still ongoing. Why are An Youyuns fans starting to spread rumors already?] After Yun Wus speech, it was time for the Death of the Universe group to give their speech as the winning group. It was already dinner time. Lin Shanchu had been focused on watching the performances the entire afternoon. She felt that she had used up all her energy. To put it bluntly, she was hungry. In fact, she was starving! She was so hungry that she didnt have the strength to speak. Lin Shanchu took the microphone and handed it to her groupmates. You guys go ahead. Her groupmates were very touched. Lin Shanchu, who was beautiful, kind, and quite pitiful, was giving them a chance to speak in front of the camera again. The groupmates spoke one by one, and thest one was Wen Tongtong. After Wen Tongtong finished her speech, she turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Actually, Im quite envious of Lin Shanchu. If only I had friends who coulde to the venue to cheer for me. Lin Shanchu squinted her eyes and looked at Wen Tongtong. She knew that Wen Tongtong was the one who wanted to cause trouble. However, if Wen Tongtong had not mentioned this, she would have almost forgotten that Tang Qidai was still present. She didnt want Tang Qidai to attend the recording for nothing. Lin Shanchu went along with the topic. Im very surprised that she cane to the venue. I just dont know if my performance will disappoint her or make her satisfied. The camera had already cut to Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu had spoken to her right away, so she didnt have time to formte a good response. Of course, Tang Qidai had to respond to Lin Shanchu. The moment she saw Lin Shanchus group taking first ce in the first showdown, Tang Qidai was so angry that she was about to explode on the spot. However, she had to force herself to praise Lin Shanchu. Your performance really surprised me, Shanshan. Although your foundation in dance isnt the best, your performance today is still the best for me! As your best friend, Id like to thank your groupmates for taking care of you. Thementers started to debate about Tang Qidai. [I feel that Tang Qidai didnt mean what she said.] [ Im confused. Are Tang Qidai and Lin Shanchu good friends or not?] [As if theyre good friends? Havent you picked up the pretentious fakeness in Tang Qidais words?] [Tang Qidai first said that Lin Shanchus foundation in dance is poor, then she thanked her groupmates for taking care of her. Isnt she implying that Lin Shanchu relied on her groupmates in order to perform well? With that, Tang Qidai wiped out Lin Shanchus hard work and effort! As expected, this woman is super pretentious!] [Wow! Im enlightened! Youre awesome, ss rep!] Everyone in the industry was smart enough to understand the hidden meaning of Tang Qidais words. They all revealed meaningful expressions. Lin Shanchus groupmates were all in their twenties. Other than Wen Tongtong, the rest of them had never been beaten by society. Thus, they did not immediately catch the deeper meaning in Tang Qidais words. They were just a little confused. As good friends, shouldnt they be ttering each other and saying some words of encouragement at this time? Why did Tang Qidai suddenly thank Lin Shanchus teammates? Ning Yunxi was the most confused. Yu Weixin saw that she looked like she wanted to say something, so he handed her the microphone. Ms. Tang, its actually Lin Shanchu who has been taking care of us. I have the worst foundation in our group. If it wasnt for her help, Id be crying right from the start on the stage today. Groupmate A said, Yeap. Lin Shanchu keeps rehearsing with us over and over again. Groupmate B added, After the rehearsal yesterday, Lin Shanchu encouraged us just when we were about to give up. Groupmate C said, We wanted to take care of her, but she wouldnt let us. Wen Tongtong also said, Lin Shanchu is a very responsible and capable group leader. All of Lin Shanchus teammates were on her side. It shouldnt be like this! Ever since Tang Qidai was young, whether it was Lu Shiyuan or Lin Shanchus other friends, she only needed to use some tricks to easily sow discord and make them stay away from Lin Shanchu while taking Tang Qidais side. However, ever since Lin Shanchu joined the production crew, her tricks seemed to be useless. She had never been so angry before! Tang Qidais fingers started to go white from the strength she used to hold the microphone. Her gentle voice seemed a little hardened at that point. It seems that Shanshan has really grown a lot in this show. Yes. Lin Shanchu looked at her from a distance and said with a smile, Dont leave so quicklyter. Ill treat you to the cafeterias food. Since were such good friends, theres always time for us to grab a meal together, right? Tang Qidai gritted her teeth. Sure thing. In thement section, Tang Qidais fans started spamming thements. [Lin Shanchu finally regained her conscience. She finally admitted that she and Daidai are good friends.] [Daidais sacrifice is finally paying off.] [Lin Shanchu, dont let Daidai down again.] The other audience members looked forward to dinner. [Those good friends are going to have dinner together again.] [Suddenly, I feel very excited!] [Guys, the official show is finally starting!] [Based on my understanding of the production crew, theyll definitely broadcast dinnertime for us!] [Thats right! The production crew of My Stage is the most sensible production crew Ive ever seen!] Chapter 104 - 104: Couples Can Be Niche, But Not Sick and Twisted Chapter 104: Couples Can Be Niche, But Not Sick and Twisted The recording of the show ended. Logically speaking, everyone would go to change their clothes first before going to the cafeteria to eat. After the members returned backstage, they all paid attention to Lin Shanchus movements. No one went to the changing room to change first. Lin Shanchu was going to eat with Tang Qidai! They could never catch such an interesting show elsewhere! Under the anticipation of the crowd, Tang Qidai went backstage. Behind her was the cameraman, who Lin Shanchu was familiar with. Shanshan, are you done? Lets go. Lin Shanchu smiled and walked over to Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai reached out to hold Lin Shanchus hand. Lin Shanchu deliberately raised her hand to smooth her hair, naturally avoiding Tang Qidais hand. A trace of anger shed across Tang Qidais eyes, but she quickly regained herposure. The food in the cafeteria is pretty decent. Yeah. Lin Shanchu first nodded in agreement, then seemed to have thought of something. She added happily, At noon, I heard from the cafeterias servingdy that there will be your favorite chicken sd tonight. Lin Shanchus sudden cooperation with Tang Qidai in putting on a show of sisterly love made thetter a little confused. However, when she thought about how she had screwed up in the afternoon when she was recording the show, she didnt have time to think about it. So, she just went along with Lin Shanchu by looking surprised and delighted. Really? Not only that but there will also be blueberries. Blueberries were Tang Qidais favorite fruit. Tang Qidai was a little surprised that Lin Shanchu still remembered that she loved to eat blueberries. Soon, she understood something. The cameraman kept following them, which meant the livestream was still ongoing. Thements became lively because of the simple conversation between the two. [How ironic! Lin Shanchu remembers Tang Qidais favorite dish and fruit!] [Tang Qidai didnt even know that Lin Shanchu is allergic to mangoes.] [Its no secret that Tang Qidai likes to eat chicken sd and blueberries. All her fans know about it. ] [Doesnt this show that Lin Shanchu cares about Tang Qidai a lot?] [People who care about others keep their feelings hidden. Those who im to care about someone tend to be liars.] [Its hard to disagree with you.] Lin Shanchu smiled at Tang Qidai with her eyes curving upward. This made Tang Qidai recall the first time she met Lin Shanchu when she was ten years old. The ten-year-old Tang Qidai was poor in vocabry. She couldnt describe how she felt when she first saw Lin Shanchu. At that time, Lin Shanchu was holding Lu Shiyuans hand. Her smiling eyes were like crescents, untainted by dust. She felt that Lin Shanchu was like a princess, but also like an angel. It made people want to get closer to her, but it also made people jealous at the same time. From then on, Tang Qidai wanted to be Lin Shanchu by recing her. She had been working hard for this all these years. However, just as she was getting closer and closer to sess, Lin Shanchu suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person. Lin Shanchu began to fight back. All these days, every n she had implemented to suppress Lin Shanchu had been perfectly resolved by thetter. Lin Shanchu even took the initiative to attack. For the first time, Tang Qidai finally realized that Lin Shanchu was no longer the useless person who did not fight back when she was hit or scolded. Tang Qidai was so focused on her thoughts that she forgot to control her expression, resulting in her looking very cold. Lin Shanchu reached out to tidy up Tang Qidais slightly messy hair while asking leisurely, Why do you have that look on your face? Her expression was natural and her posture was intimate. The members behind Tang Qidai and Lin Shanchu as well as the audience in the live broadcast room who were watching the show were all confused. Tang Qidai came back to her senses. She resisted the urge to avoid Lin Shanchus hand before forcing two teardrops out of her eyes. Shanshan, youre such a wonderful person. I didnt expect you to even remember what I like to eat. Ive been so busy for the past two years that Ive forgotten that youre allergic to mangoes. I really dont deserve to be your friend. Tang Qidai cried so hard that even her snot bubbles wereing out. Lin Shanchu gently wiped Tang Qidais tears away while sighing out loud. You look so ugly when you cry. Tang Qidais face froze for a moment. Thementers wereughing. [Im done! Not only do I not understand the rtionship between the three of them, but I cant even figure out the exact rtionship between Tang Qidai and Lin Shanchu.] [Guys, Im sick. I think I like the idea of both of them being a couple] [Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai? Together?] [Two women who loved and hated each other since young. That sounds really exciting] Then I wont cry. Tang Qidai sniffled. Forcing herself to cry was a skill, and it was very difficult for her to cry on the spot. When they arrived at the cafeteria, the two of them took their food and sat opposite each other. Tang Qidai took the initiative to start a conversation with Lin Shanchu. I wanted to bring you a bouquet of flowers on my way here, but I was too busy and didnt have time. Next time then. Lin Shanchu did not even look up. My focus will be on the capital city from now on, so I might not have the chance to be there for future public showdowns. Ille back to cheer you on during the girl groups debut night. Although Tang Qidai said that, she was actually thinking that as long as she was around, Lin Shanchu could forget about entering the finals. How could Lin Shanchu not understand the deep meaning of Tang Qidais words? She raised her eyes and looked straight at Tang Qidai. Thanks for your kind words. Their gazes met in the air, not giving in at all. Lin Shanchuzily said, Oh, right. Dont give me white lotus flowers. You know, I feel disgusted whenever I see them. Ill definitely throw them on the ground and trample them to pieces. Tang Qidai herself knew that theizens had always referred to her as a pretentious woman and that her symbol was a white lotus flower. Lin Shanchu was just mocking her at that point. Tang Qidai turned her face away while sounding very stiff. I know. Thementers were allughing at Tang Qidai. [Hahaha! I seriously suspect that Lin Shanchu is referring to Tang Qidai!] [What should I do? I really think they belong together!] [Guys, you can support niche couples, but never sick and twisted ones!] [I dont care! Im sick! I love the ChuDai love line!] [What a bunch of crazy women] As a result, a topic named #ChuDai couple went on the trending list that night. Meanwhile, at the training camp, after Tang Qidai had finished her meal, Lin Shanchu suggested walking her to her car. Tang Qidai was afraid that Lin Shanchu woulde up with some tricks again, so she quickly rejected him with the excuse that Lin Shanchu was tired after recording the program for the whole afternoon. She then left in a hurry. No matter how one looked at Tang Qidais figure, she seemed to be fleeing in panic. What was there to be afraid of? This was just the beginning. Death of the Universe took first ce in the entirepetition. The production crew worked overnight to edit the performance of Death of the Universe and uploaded it as the first video of the shows channel. They even edited the behind-the-scenes footage of Lin Shanchus group that showcased their training procedures. As the winning group of the showdown, the group members had a chance to shoot a product cement advertisement for the shows sponsors. There was no studio in the training camp that could shoot advertisements, so Lin Shanchus group had to go out early the next morning to shoot the advertisement in the studio. Therefore, Lin Shanchu went to bed very early the first night. As the boss, Nan Mu stayed up all night to watch the shows statistics. He was a model worker. After looking at the data. he opened Weiho and saw Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidais trending topic. The ChuDai couple? Nan Mu opened the topic and scrolled down the posts with mixed feelings. How could theizens love the idea of Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai together? They really were sick this time.. Chapter 105 - 105: Glowing With Beauty Chapter 105: Glowing With Beauty Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After taking a shower and lying in bed, Nan Mu was still thinking about Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai being paired up byizens. The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Then, he opened Weibo again. #ChuDai Couple climbed up two spots on the trending list. It was the weekend, so there were many nocturnalizens lurking around. They were still surfing the at such ate hour. No. He couldnt be the only confused one here. Hence, Nan Mu called Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was a light sleeper. He woke up the moment his phone rang. Before he picked up the phone, he looked at the time. It was three in the morning. Speak, he said. It was an emotionless word, but it made Nan Mu feel a strong sense of oppression. Its about Lin Shanchu. Nan Mus desire to live was instantly ignited. Huo Xunzhou didnt say anything, but he didnt hang up as well. Nan Mu knew that his life was saved. Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai are now on the trending list thanks to theizens. You know about this, right? Yes. It was Li MO who had told him. Lin Shanchu was on the trending list a few times in a row. Li MO would tell him in detail what the trending topics and theizensments were. Hyping up a love line really increases poprity. Why dont I find someone to hype up a love line with Lin Shanchu? Nan Mu gradually forgot why he had made this call. Who are you looking for? Nan Mu racked his mind for a bit. How about Ji Yuan? Lin Shanchu was one of hispanys celebrities. Only someone with Ji Yuans status waspatible with her. Before Nan Mu could even think about it, Huo Xunzhou coldly rejected the idea. What I mean is No. Before Nan Mu could finish his sentence, Huo Xunzhou rejected the idea in a simple and crude manner. Yet you im that you and Lin Shanchu arent in that kind of rtionship Nan Muughed a little wretchedly. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. Instead, he sneered. Nanmu immediately cleared his throat and began to speak seriously. When Ji Yuan was the assistant mentor in the production crew, there were alreadyizens who wanted to see Lin Shanchu and Ji Yuan as a couple in which Lin Shanchu is the older one. I was thinking that after this talent show is over, Id let Lin Shanchu and Ji Yuan appear on variety shows together and hype up their love line as a couple In this case, itll be a matter of time before Lin Shanchu bes the top female celebrity. Nan Mu had already started to fantasize about rolling in money in the future. Huo Xunzhou was silent for a few seconds before he asked, What about anyone other than Ji Yuan? Huh Ji Yuan was already the most popr celebrity among the young celebrities in thepany! Nan Mu then reported the names of several young male celebrities from hispany. As expected, Huo Xunzhou rejected every single one of them. Finally, Nan Mu understood the deeper meaning. Xunzhou, dont tell me youre youre nning to be the one in the love line! Ahem! Huo Xunzhou cleared his throat. Well, thats not impossible. Hahaha! If you wanted to do it, why didnt you tell me in the first ce? Instead, you beat around the bush for so long Nan Muughed out loud. Well talk about thatter, Huo Xunzhou said coldly. He hung up the phone. Nan Mu threw his phone to the side and started tough uncontrobly. Xunzhou was more or less a little angry from embarrassment. To think that Huo Xunzhou finally discovered his feelings for Lin Shanchu. How interesting. The next morning. The production crew had arranged for a car to send Lin Shanchus group to the studio. Out of all six members, only Lin Shanchu and Wen Tongtong had some experience with advertisement shooting. Ning Yunxi and the other three groupmates had no experience at all. They had been nervous since they got their makeup applied to them. After they were done with their makeup, they all gathered around Lin Shanchu and looked for her to impart their experience. Lin Shanchu told them about some of her previous filming experiences, and then they began to chat. A groupmate grabbed Lin Shanchus arm. The rankings will be announced soon. If were not eliminated, we still want to be in the same group as you. I dont want to be in the same group as you guys anymore. Lin Shanchuughed. They knew that Lin Shanchu was joking, so theyughed and started tickling her. Soon, they were all having fun with each other. Wen Tongtong didnt join in. She only helped Lin Shanchu up when thetter wasughing so hard that she was about to fall to the ground. Didnt you say that were going to start shooting at half past nine? Its already half past ten, and yet no one came to call us for the shoot. Lin Shanchu nced at the clock on the wall. She had been chatting with her groupmates, so she didnt notice the passage of time. Groupmate A said, I heard that theres a shoot scheduled before ours. Is it because that shoot isnt done yet? Thats way too long. Ning Yunxi pouted. Lin Shanchu stood up and sugested, Lets go out and take a look. Everyone was only allocated a limited period of time to use the studio. Since the previous shoot had yet to end, that meant the crew was taking up Lin Shanchus precious time. Her groupmates had no experience, to begin with, and if they didnt have enough time, it would definitely affect the end product. Lin Shanchu and the others had just arrived at the doorway of the studio when they heard sobbinging from inside. Among them were the consoling voices of the staff. But we still have to finish the filming first. There are still people waiting for their turn. Control your emotions first. If you really cant do it, you can cry after you finish filming The female celebrity who was surrounded by the staff continued sobbing while looking up at them. What do you guys know? Today is Jing Mings death anniversary When she saw that face, Lin Shanchus eyes shed with surprise. Qiao Jiaxi? Wen Tongtong was the first to speak. Who is this? Her groupmates were puzzled. Ning Yunxi had a good memory, so she whispered, She was the one who used Big Sister Lin of stealing her participating spot. Oh, I remember now. She still put on a pitiful act on Weibo after that, right? But things didnt go her way. Yup. Wasnt she criticized badly by theizens back then? How could she still get work now? Wen Tongtong had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so she naturally knew more than her naive and innocent groupmates. Take a guess. Ning Yunxi blinked and whispered to Lin Shanchu, Big Sister, whats the reason? A lot of things can be bought with money, Lin Shanchu said meaningfully. You mean she found herself a sugar daddy? Ning Yunxi widened her eyes. Lin Shanchu turned around and smiled as she reached out to knock on Ning Yunxis head. So, you even know about this. Ning Yunxi touched her head and smiled shyly. It was a good thing that Yun Wu wasnt here. She could enjoy Lin Shanchus pampering. Qiao Jiaxi had always been a nobody, and the evidence of her framing Lin Shanchu for snatching her position was irrefutable. There was no way she could clear her name. Therefore, the only reason she could still shoot an advertisement now was that she had spent money. If Qiao Jiaxis family was rich, she wouldnt have remained as a nobody. In fact, she wouldnt need to suck up to Tang Qidai in the first ce. In that case, the only possibility was that she had found herself a sugar daddy. In the entertainment industry, the only shortcut for those who had no power but didnt want to work hard to make a name for themselves was to find a sugar daddy. Lin Shanchu had fair skin and long legs. She had already put on makeup and changed her clothes, and she looked so good that she was glowing. She was particrly eye-catching as she stood at the door. It quickly caught the attention of the photographer and the staff. Qiao Jiaxi also turned to look at Lin Shanchu. When she saw that the person standing at the door was Lin Shanchu, her face stiffened, and she quickly snorted before looking away. Lin Shanchu walked straight in. Qiao Jiaxi had previously falsely used Lin Shanchu, so she was already feeling guilty. Without waiting for Lin Shanchu to speak, Qiao Jiaxi looked at Lin Shanchu in alert, What are vou doing?
Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
Chapter 106 - 106: Lu Shiyuan Is A Murderer Chapter 106: Lu Shiyuan Is A Murderer Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion You took up an hour of our shooting time. Qiao Jiaxi was sitting on the ground. Lin Shanchu looked down at her, her tonezy and her aura oppressive. Qiao Jiaxi had recently found herself a sugar daddy who was willing to throw money at her. That was why she dared to take up the shooting time and throw a tantrum. When she remembered that she had someone backing her up, Qiao Jiaxi immediately hardened her resolve. Its just an hour. Ill pay you guys. Lin Shanchu didnt want to waste time with Qiao Jiaxi. She turned around and looked for the apanying staff. Can I borrow your phone? Thank you. The staff member hesitated for a moment before handing his phone to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu tapped on the phone a few times and pointed the phone at Qiao Jiaxi. Repeat what you just said. What are you doing? Qiao Jiaxi frowned. Lin Shanchu looked up at her from behind the phone. Live broadcast. Youre f*cking crazy! Flustered and exasperated, Qiao Jiaxi started cursing on the spot. Qiao Jiaxis staff also tried to snatch the phone away. Lin Shanchus apanying staff immediately came out to protect her. What a joke. Before they came out, the director had repeatedly instructed that absolutely nothing must happen to Lin Shanchu, their key element of poprity. The scene became chaotic for a moment. Qiao Jiaxi thought about how she was almost banned because of Lin Shanchu. Anger rose in her heart, causing her to want to p Lin Shanchu in the face. However, she was not as tall as Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was already prepared. She easily grasped Qiao Jiaxis wrist in return. The other staff members were all shocked. Qiao Jiaxi, what are you doing? Recently, Lin Shanchus poprity had been high. Even if Qiao Jiaxi had a sugar daddy, her poprity was far lower than Lin Shanchus. It was fine that Qiao Jiaxi acted arrogantly, but she actually dared to attack Lin Shanchu in public. Lin Shanchu coldly shook off Qiao Jiaxis hand. Qiao Jiaxi raised her hand again while looking dissatisfied.. However Lin Shanchus movements were faster than hers. p! The crisp sound of a p was unusually loud in the studio. The originally noisy studio instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Lin Shanchu and Qiao Jiaxi. Was Lin Shanchu crazy? She actually dared to hit someone in public? Qiao Jiaxi covered her face while staring at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. How dare you p me! Lin Shanchu shook her hand while nodding seriously. Yup. Her expression was as arrogant as it could get. Qiao Jiaxi was furious. You Qiao Jiaxi couldnt take this lying down and still wanted to go against Lin Shanchu. However, when she saw Lin Shanchu moving her wrist, she was stunned and subconsciously covered the other side of her face. The staff members at the side couldnt bear to watch. Qiao Jiaxi was so cowardly, and yet she still wanted to provoke Lin Shanchu. Get out of the way. Lin Shanchu raised her chin and motioned for Qiao Jiaxi to move aside. Qiao Jiaxis face was filled with dissatisfaction as she spoke ruthlessly. I Im going to expose you! But she still moved to the side obediently. Who are you exposing? A mans voice came from the door. Everyone turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou standing by the door. Nan Mu crossed his arms and looked like he was enjoying the show, while Huo Xunzhou looked indifferent as if he was not involved. He didnt look like he had just arrived. No one knew how long the men had been standing at the door. Its so lively here. Nan Mu pushed Huo Xunzhou into the room. Then, Nan Mu looked at the staff who came with Lin Shanchu and the others. Why hasnt the shoot started yet? The staff member nced at Lin Shanchu. Its about to start. Then lets get going. Nan Mu raised his hand and looked at his watch. Its almost 11 0clock. Why are celebrities so rude these days? To think that theyre taking up other peoples shooting time Qiao Jiaxi, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, was now as quiet as a mouse in the corner. She didnt even dare to breathe loudly. When Lin Shanchu heard that it was about to start, she walked up to the stage. Im here to talk to you about something, said Nan Mu. What? Nan Mu pulled Lin Shanchu to Huo Xunzhous front. Nan Mu was speechless. He lowered his voice. Xunzhou came here to see you. At least say something to him. Huo Xunzhou was nearby and could hear Nan Mus words clearly. Hello, Mr. Huo. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou. Nan Mu was confused. Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips and said after two seconds, Im here on business, so I dropped by to take a look. Oh. She knew that Huo Xunzhou would never specificallye to see her. Their rtionship wasnt that close. Nan Mu was even more confused. It was clearly Huo Xunzhou who took the initiative to ask him about Lin Shanchus filming. When Nan Mu suggesteding over to take a look, Huo Xunzhou followed him without refusing. However, in front of Lin Shanchu, Huo Xunzhou said that he was just passing by. Huo Xunzhou sure was noble and amazing. Nan Mu felt that he wasted his efforts for nothing. Lin Shanchu returned to the stage and started filming. Nan Mu and Huo Xunzhou watched for a while and then prepared to leave. When the two of them were about to reach the door, they saw Qiao Jiaxi sitting in a corner while crying her heart out. Qiao Jiaxi couldnt afford to offend either of them. She hurriedly wiped her tears and stood up to greet them. President Nan. Mr. Hup. Nan Mu didnt know why Huo Xunzhou would suddenly notice Qiao Jiaxi, but he still tacitly asked, Why are you crying? Today is Jing Mings death anniversary. Im his fan. Qiao Jiaxi had been crying because of this. Nan Mu and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other. Huo Xunzhou nced at the handkerchief in the formers pocket. Nan Mu unwillingly took out the handkerchief and handed it to Qiao Jiaxi. Hes been gone for three years, but youre still so sad. It seems like youre a true fan. Thank you, President Nan. Qiao Jiaxi received it, overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. She then sadly said, If only Jing Ming didntmit suicide Then, she cried again. She was indeed Jing Mings true fan. Back in the car, Huo Xunzhou took out his phone and opened Weibo. The topic #Jing Ming was at the top of the trending list. Nan Mu pulled on his seatbelt and looked at the phone. Jing Ming is a really nice guy. Hes been dead for three years, but the fans still miss him so much Nan Mu fastened his seat belt and sighed. Its a pity that he signed a contract with the Lu Corporation back then In the afternoon. Lin Shanchu and the others finished filming the advertisement and went backstage to change their clothes. When they came out, they heard the staff chatting among themselves. That trending topic has gone viral! Many of Jing Mings fans are calling Lu Shiyuan a murderer. Whats the use of scolding him on the inte? The PR team of the Lu Corporation will still remove the trending topic. When she heard Lu Shiyuans name, Lin Shanchu quickly approached them. Can I take a look? The staff member turned around and met Lin Shanchus big and bright eyes. He could not refuse her at all. Lin Shanchu sessfully used her beauty to trick the staff member into handing her his phone. Her groupmates, who hadnt touched a phone in over a month, also came over excitedly. When the groupmates saw the trending topic, the first thing they said was f*ck. Thest surveince video of Jing Mings final moments was exposed! It was actually posted on Jing Mings own ount!
Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
Chapter 107 - 107: Lin Shanchu Is Here Chapter 107: Lin Shanchu Is Here Lin Shanchu had some impression of Jing Ming. Jing Ming used to be a celebrity under the Lu Corporation and was trained as a representative celebrity by thepany. Just as Jing Mings career was at its peak, he suddenlymitted suicide at home. Now that three years had passed, many of his fans still had yet to get over his death. They would still mourn him on his death anniversary every year. The reason why Jing Mings death anniversary was mentioned in the original novel was to keep the plot going and cause Lin Shanchu to be abused and ndered. But now, the plot had changed. On the day of Jing Mings death anniversary, someone used Jing Mings Weibo ount to post a surveince video of his conversation with Lu Shiyuan in the corridor of the Lu Corporation. It was obvious that someone wanted to mess with Lu Shiyuan. Ning Yunxi urged Lin Shanchu, Big Sister, hurry up and y the video! Lin Shanchu tapped on the surveince video. The background of the video was a corridor. President Lu! In the video, Jing Ming was blocking Lu Shiyuan from a distance. Lu Shiyuan looked a little impatient. Jing Ming, Ive already told you what I need to say. What you need to do now is to follow thepanys arrangements. President Lu, I really cant do it . If you couldnt do it, why did you sign the contract? Jing Ming lowered his head when he heard this. Lu Shiyuan was followed by arge group of assistants and bodyguards, while Jing Ming, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be alone and weak. The date on the video was the day before Jing Mingmitted suicide. Therefore, the conversation in the video seemed to have a deeper meaning. Back then, Jing Mings fans were unable to recover from his suicide. Now that such a video had been released, how could the fans let Lu Shiyuan go? Lu Shiyuans Weibo was immediately bombarded withments. In addition to the fans, there were alsoizens who went to help scold Lu Shiyuan. [Youre a capitalist who feasts on human blood!] [Lu Shiyuan is a murderer!] [Outstanding young man? Business genius? Youre nothing but a murderer!] [You forced Jing Ming to his death, and yet youre still able to live your life in peace! What right do you have to do that?] [When are you going to die?] Lin Shanchus groupmates all looked up at her with different expressions. Her fianc was being scolded by theizens, so she should still be a little sad. However, they realized that they had been overthinking. Not only was Lin Shanchu not sad at all, but she was also scrolling through thements with great interest. It was as if she was happy to see her fianc being cursed at As she scrolled through thements, she saw ament that involved her in the whole mess. [Since Lu Shiyuan is a murderer, his fiance is probably not a good person either. From now on, Im a hater of Lin Shanchu!] A question mark slowly appeared above Lin Shanchus head. Lu Shiyuan, that f*cking trash! He was the one who did something shady, but she ended up getting implicated and scolded as well! Suddenly, thements on Lu Shiyuans Weibo disappeared. Lin Shanchu snorted in disdain. What kind of man is he to have closed off thement section? Her groupmates were speechless. Lin Shanchu had previously acted pitiful to her teammates and said that Lu Shiyuan didnt love her. Now, it seemed that she didnt love Lu Shiyuan as well. Her groupmates didnt dare to say anything, so they just looked at her silently. The staff waited outside for a while, but the women didnte out, so they came in to look for them. Ladies, are you done? Were going back now. Lin Shanchu returned the phone and followed the staff out. As they walked, they realized that this was not the way to the main entrance. Lin Shanchu asked, Are we not going through the main entrance? There are reporters at the front door. Its not convenient for you to take the way, the staff said with aplicated expression. Lin Shanchu suddenly understood. It was all because of Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan must be hiding in the Lu Corporation right now. The reporters couldnt corner him, so they came to corner his fiance. That filthy trash! Lin Shanchu kept cursing Lu Shiyuan in her heart while a gentle smile remained on her face. Miss, she said. Please leave with my groupmates first. Ill be right behind you. The staff member remembered the directors instructions. Naturally, she would not let her go alone. No way. Its okay. I can do it, Lin Shanchu continued to persuade the staff member gently. It was hard to reject a good-looking person. The staff member thought for a moment. Then, well change our clothes. You can put on a cap and a mask to disguise yourself. You definitely wont be recognized. Thank you, miss. Lin Shanchu shot the staff member a big smile. The staff members heart melted. Before she left, she even handed Lin Shanchu her phone. Take my phone with you. If anything happens, call us. Lin Shanchu stood in the distance, watching the staff leave with her groupmates through the back door. The reporters swarmed in and surrounded them. Only then did they realize that Lin Shanchu was not among these people. Wheres Lin Shanchu? She had something to do, so she left. The staff member was very good at dealing with such a situation and lied without even blinking. The reporters were still skeptical, but they could only let the staff go first. Most of the reporters left, leaving only a few reporters who were still unwilling to give up and kept looking into the studio. Lin Shanchus phone rang. The staff had already made the arrangements. Well pretend to leave first. When the reporters have left, welle back to pick you up. All right. Lin Shanchus tone was very obedient. The staff member was very pleased. She loved to deal with popr but sensible celebrities like Lin Shanchu. She hung up the phone. Lin Shanchu stood in ce for a moment. Then, she turned around and walked toward the main entrance. Qiao Jiaxis morning shoot had not ended yet. When she heard that Lin Shanchu had finished filming, she rushed over. As soon as she walked in from the gate, he saw Lin Shanchu taking off her mask and walking over. Lin Shanchu! Qiao Jiaxi was Jing Mings true fan, so she knew about what had happened online. It was human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. Qiao Jiaxi didnt dare to look for Lu Shiyuan, but she dared to vent her anger on Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu only lightly nced at Qiao Jiaxi before walking straight past her. Qiao Jiaxi feltpletely ignored. She turned around and ran outside to shout at the reporters. Lin Shanchu is here! After she finished shouting, she turned around and looked at Lin Shanchu with a smug expression. But this time, Lin Shanchu did not even look at her. Lin Shanchu calmly took off her sunsses and cap. She revealed her extremely beautiful face. The reporters were like cats that smelled fresh fish as they swarmed toward Lin Shanchu. The cameras kept on shing. Lin Shanchu, there are rumors online that your fianc, Lu Shiyuan, forced Jing Ming to take his own life. Do you have anything to say about this? Do you know how he forced Jing Ming? Will Lu Shiyuan respond? When does he n to respond? Theizens feel that as Lu Shiyuans fiance, you should take responsibility for Jing Mings death. What are your thoughts on this? Lin Shanchu calmly faced the camera. When she heard thest question, she raised her eyes slightly and looked at the reporter. The womans eyes were so clear that the reporters heart trembled. Lin Shanchu smiled. Can you point the microphone closer to me? I cant reach it.. Chapter 108 - 108: Thank You For This Opportunity, Brother Xunzhou Chapter 108: Thank You For This Opportunity, Brother Xunzhou Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When the reporters heard this, they were collectively stunned for a second. The people rted to negative news had always avoided reporters. This was the first time they had met someone as cooperative as Lin Shanchu. After the reporters reacted, they frantically rushed to point their microphones in front of Lin Shanchu. They all wanted to get the first scoop. A few of them almost hit Lin Shanchus face. Everyone had tender feelings for a beautiful woman like Lin Shanchu who was very cooperative, so someone quickly reminded, Dont hit her face! The few reporters who were about to hit Lin Shanchus face retreated. Lin Shanchu, can you please answer our questions? Lin Shanchu held the microphone and said with a calm expression, Three years ago, I was just a student at the film academy. Lu Shiyuan was the one handling Jing Mings case. I dont know the details. Are you saying that this has nothing to do with you? Are you trying to absolve yourself? the reporter asked. No, Lin Shanchu replied. Then, as Lu Shiyuans fiance, do you think you should be responsible for this? the reporter asked. Lin Shanchu: As Lu Shiyuans fiance, this has nothing to do with me. But youre Lu Shiyuans fiance! Lin Shanchu replied, Theres this saying that says if one doesnt benefit from a source, then one doesnt get involved in the sources troubles as well. This saying is also applicable to my rtionship with Lu Shiyuan. Although Im Lu Shiyuans fiance, Ive never received any care from him in the entertainment industry all these years. So, do you think Im responsible? The reporter was speechless. All the reporters there were entertainment reporters. Every year, they would count on Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidais love-hate rtionship toplete their article quota. They knew best how miserable Lin Shanchu had been all these years. They knew very well how much Lu Shiyuan had taken care of Tang Qidai all these years. Therefore, Lin Shanchus words made sense. The series of questions that the reporters had prepared were all blocked by Lin Shanchus words. After a moment. The reporter asked again, Lu Shiyuan sponsored 100 million dors to my stage. How do you exin this? Lin Shanchu answered, The Lu Corporation is a listedpany. Any investment project is evaluated by a professional team. Individual shareholders have no absolute decision-making power. What she meant was that investing in My Stage was apanys business, not a personal matter. The reporter was speechless. It didnt feel wrong, but it also felt that something was wrong. This time, the reporter did not know what to ask. But he was not willing to let Lin Shanchu go like this. At this time, Lin Shanchus expression suddenly became stern as she said seriously, But dont worry, everyone. Jing Ming used to be a member of the Lu Corporation. We of the Lu Corporation will definitely reinvestigate this matter and give everyone an exnation. The reporter was confused. Didnt she just say that this matter had nothing to do with her? Why did she suddenly say we of the Lu Corporation? Women were too fickle! Ms. Lin, what do you mean by that? Lin Shanchu looked at the camera, her eyes clear and firm. Lu Shiyuans fiance doesnt have to be responsible for this matter, but the shareholders of the Lu Corporation have to be responsible for this. The reporter gasped in shock. Are you a shareholder of the Lu Corporation? Lin Shanchu said, Everyone here might have forgotten about this, but my parents were once founders of the Lu Corporation. A reporter couldnt help but blurt out, Holy sh*t! Lin Shanchu didnt have much of a presence for so many years, so everyone hadpletely forgotten about it. Thank you for your concern for the Lu Corporation. Well cooperate with the investigation, but now, I need to return to the training camp. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she bowed to the camera. Then, she walked toward a ck car that was parked across the street. When she was almost there, Li MO got out of the car and opened the door for her. Ms. Lin, please get in the car. Lin Shanchu felt that the way Li MO looked at her was a little different from usual. She looked inside. Huo Xunzhou was sitting by the window. He clutched his phone as he looked out the window. Thank you, Lin Shanchu said. Then, she got into the car. Li MO started the car. Lin Shanchus phone rang. It was a call from the production crew. Ms. Lin, where are you? Wereing to pick you up now. Did the staff just call her Ms. Lin? Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou. I met Mr. Huo. You dont have to fetch me anymore. After hanging up, she noticed Huo Xunzhou still maintaining the same position of looking out the window. The car was extremely quiet. It seemed like she should say something. Mr. Huo? Lin Shanchu called out. Huo Xunzhou ignored her as if he had not heard her. Li MO, on the other hand, looked at her in the rearview mirror and coughed on purpose. Big Brother didnt like to be called Mr. Huo, after all. Of course, he would never pay attention to her if she were to keep calling him that. Lin Shanchu cast her gaze on the drivers seat. Li MO gave her a look through the rearview mirror. Lin Shanchu understood right away. She hesitated for a moment before nudging Huo Xunzhou with her elbow. She then called his name. Huo Xunzhou. The man who had always treated her like she was invisible was finally willing to talk to her. So, you finally remembered my name. Lin Shanchu was speechless. The stingy man was being sarcastic to her. Why arent you saying anything, President Lin? Huo Xunzhou asked. Lin Shanchu blinked. You guys saw the interview? I didnt expect Ms. Lin to be a shareholder of the Lu Corporation, Li MO replied from the front. No wonder Li MO had looked at her with envy. It turned out that she had seen the interview. Yes. Your big brother knows about this. She had previously used her shares to ask Huo Xunzhou for a coboration, but he had rejected her. Oh. Li MO nced at the rearview mirror with a look that said, I knew there was more to your rtionship. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She felt numb on the inside. Whatever. Let it be a misunderstanding. He wouldnt believe her even if she exined it to him. When they arrived at the entrance of the training camp, Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu got out of the car first. Li MO, on the other hand, drove to the parking lot. Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair and turned to look at her. Lets go, he said. Are we not waiting for Li MO? Seeing that Huo Xunzhou had no intention of waiting for Li MO, Lin Shanchu pushed him inside. Youre better at seizing opportunities than I thought, Shanshan, Huo Xunzhou said slowly. He was referring to the interview. While Lu Shiyuan was being scolded by the entire inte, Lin Shanchu used her identity as thepanys shareholder to stand out and respond to the incident immediately. Naturally, she could gain theizens favor. Lin Shanchu stopped. She leaned over and whispered into Huo Xunzhous ear, Ill have to thank you for giving me this opportunity, Brother Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhous body stiffened. Lin Shanchu thought that he was shocked by her words, and a smug smile shed across her eyes. You didnt expect this, did you? I knew it. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at her. Youre wee. Its what I should do. There was a smile in his eyes, and he was not surprised at all. Lin Shanchu was slightly startled. Arent you going to ask me how I guessed With our rtionship and mutual understanding, its a problem if I cant guess it right. Huo Xunzhous smile deepened. What was their rtionship? Where did they get such a tacit understanding? Lin Shanchu frowned and thought about it, then realized that Huo Xunzhou had been teasing her the whole time.. Chapter 109 - 109: A Million One-Star Reviews Chapter 109: A Million One-Star Reviews Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu returned to the training camp and returned the phone to the staff member. The director was also present. When Lin Shanchu returned the phone and was about to leave, the director sneakily called out to her. Lin Shanchu. What up? The director took out his business card from his pocket very seriously. He handed it to Lin Shanchu with both hands. President Lin, lets get to know each other well. My name is Song Yiming. Lin Shanchu held back herughter and took it with both hands. All right then, Director Song. Not long after, Nan Mu also rushed over. On the way to Nan Mus office, every staff member and student she met looked at her with envy. Everyone who entered the entertainment industry wanted to be favored by the capitalistic sponsors so that they could obtain resources just to earn money and poprity. Meanwhile, Lin Shanchu was already part of the capitalistic world Boss? Lin Shanchu pushed open the door to Nan Mus office and looked inside. With a bottle of red wine in his hand, Nan Mu eximed, President Lin, stay there! Ill open the door for you! Thank you, Boss, Lin Shanchu said. Youre wee, President Lin, Nan Mu replied. Li MO was confused. Lin Shanchu looked at the wine in Nan Mus hands. Its for a celebration, Nan Mu exined. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Nan Mu exined, After your interview, Lu Shiyuan was scolded even more fiercely. The Lu Corporations shares will definitely plummet tomorrow. As Nan Mu spoke, he took out a bottle opener and opened the bottle of red wine. He was even humming a song as he poured the wine. He looked so happy that one would think he was celebrating New Year. Huo Xunzhou swirled the red wine in his ss and looked at Lin Shanchu thoughtfully. The Lu Corporation will be holding a shareholders meeting tomorrow. Nan Mu took a sip of wine and said in agreement, Of course. Lu Shiyuan is hated by everyone. Those shareholders must have disliked him for a long time. They might want to take advantage of this opportunity to dismiss him from his position as the president At this point, Nan Mu suddenly realized something and stopped. He nodded mechanically and looked at Lin Shanchu. Are you going to attend the meeting as a shareholder of the Lu Corporation? What do you think? Lin Shanchu raised an eyebrow. What about the show? The rankings would be announced tomorrow, and the members would have to choose their songs for the second public showdown. Lin Shanchu smiled. I can only let my managementpanye forward and negotiate with the production crew. Isnt ourpany your managementpany? Nan Mu asked. Yeah, Lin Shanchu replied. Nan Mu was speechless. He felt like he just became the joke of the year. Lin Shanchu was not participating in the recording tomorrow. If the key element of poprity was absent, the shows ratings would definitely drop. The smile on Nan Mils face gradually disappeared. Happiness was always short-lived. It left as quickly as it came. Lu Corporation. The technical department. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he swept all the things on the table to the ground. You all are useless! How many hours has it been? He seethed in rage. You cant even find the person who posted the video! The staff member exined in a trembling voice, President Lu, the IP address that uploaded the video is overseas. Its a little difficult to track it, so we might not be able to produce any results for a while How long do you need? Lu Shiyuan interrupted with a gloomy face. The staff member trembled in fear and did not dare to speak. Lu Shiyuan reached out and grabbed his cor. He roared furiously with a dark expression, Im asking you, how long will it take to find the person who posted the video? I Im not sure The staff member was so scared that he swallowed nervously before quickly making a promise. But well definitely track them down as soon as possible Lu Shiyuan couldnt be bothered to listen to the staff member, so he threw him aside. The people present kept quiet out of fear. No one dared to make a sound. Continue investigating! Lu Shiyuan shouted angrily. What a bunch of trash. The staff members quickly got into position and continued to track the IP address. President Lu. Zhou Yan walked in from the outside with a solemn expression. Whats the matter? Lu Shiyuan frowned. Zhou Yan showed Lu Shiyuan the trending list, resulting in thetters expression changing. #Lin Shanchus response was high in the top row of the hot search list. Back in the office, Lu Shiyuan opened Lin Shanchus interview video. After watching Lin Shanchus interview video, Lu Shiyuan couldnt help but throw his tablet away. Lin Shanchu that b*tch! The tablets quality was good. After it fell to the ground, the screen only cracked a few times. It was still reying Lin Shanchus interview video at the same time. Lin Shanchus voice also came from the tablet. Lu Shiyuans fiance doesnt have to be responsible for this matter, but the shareholders of Lu Corporation have to be responsible for this Lu Shiyuan stared at the tablet intently. It was as if he wanted to drag the interviewee from the tablet and demand to know the reason behind the interview. When Zhou Yan saw the situation, he picked up the tablet from the ground. He was about to turn off the video when Lu Shiyuan snatched the tablet away. Lu Shiyuan watched the interview video a few more times. Then, he opened thements section. [I hope that Lin Shanchu will keep her word and bring justice to Jing Ming.] [Lu Shiyuan is such a coward. I cant believe he allowed a woman to defend him.] [Why do you guys think that Lin Shanchu is speaking up for Lu Shiyuan? I think Lin Shanchu is just adding insult to Lu Shiyuans injury.] [To put it more urately, she insults both Lu Shiyuan and the pretentious woman. [Now that you mention it, youre right. Lin Shanchu seems to be mocking those two every time she gets the chance. She always embarrasses them in public.] [If thats the case, itll be quite exciting! Im taking Lin Shanchus side and supporting her in destroying this adulterous couple and finding out the truth behind Jing Mings suicide!] Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth in anger and clenched his fists. Lin Shanchu actually dared to treat him like this! Shed better not me him for being ruthless. Seeing that he was so angry, Zhou Yan probed, President Lu, do you want to suppress the trending topic? Lu Shiyuan took a few deep breaths in a row before he could calm down. He closed his eyes, leaned back, and raised his hand to signal Zhou Yan to leave. Zhou Yan understood Lu Shiyuans character. He knew that Lu Shiyuan didnt say no, which meant he agreed to suppress the trending topic. Nan Mu immediately noticed that Lu Shiyuan was suppressing the trending topic. This time, the matter had fermented very quickly. After Lin Shanchus interview, the poprity of the incident was pushed to a new peak. The rted topic was at its peak and quickly declined. Anyone with eyes could see that it was definitely someone whose profits were tied to this incident was suppressing the trending list. To put it bluntly, those people could only be Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu. However, Lin Shanchu said that she would return to the training camp after the interview. In that case, Lu Shiyuan was the only one who was capable of doing that. Theizens grew even more agitated when they were aware of Lu Shiyuan suppressing the trending topic. They wanted to send him private messages just to teach him a lesson, but then they realized Lu Shiyuan had already turned off his inbox from the public. This angered theizens even more. After that, they flocked to the Lu Corporations official Weibo ount. It turned out that the official ountsment section and inbox were also turned off. Theizens finally exploded,pletely losing their minds. They formed groups and started spamming one-star reviews about all of the Lu Corporations dramas and movies on various tforms. [1* C Im sorry to the cast, but Lu Shiyuan deserves this!] [1* C Are theizens who arent here still sleeping or dont have their phones with them?] [1* C Justice for Jing Ming!] That night, theizens, together with Jing Mings fans, posted a total of one million one-star negativements in the inte.. Chapter 110 - 110: Lu Shiyuan Is Worth It Chapter 110: Lu Shiyuan Is Worth It Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Lu Corporation was very prominent, but this also meant they were very susceptible to attacks. The PR department had been paying attention to the inte the entire night. They were afraid that someone would boost the trending topic in the middle of the night and cause trouble. But surprisingly, nothing happened on the trending list for the entire night. Although they had detected that someizens had given the Lu Corporations dramas and movies one-star ratings, they did not take them to heart. Every time something like this happened in the entertainment industry, there would always be someone who would give the affectedpanys work one-star ratings. This kind of thing was inevitable and would not affect the overall situation. At 9 0clock sharp. The topic #a million one-star ratings climbed to the top of the search rankings. Jiang Tang was the first verified user to post this topic on Weibo. Sugar Ginger: [#a million one-star ratings! Wow! :screenshot: :screenshot: :screenshot: :screenshot:] Thementers were quick to reply. [Wow! This batch ofizens is pretty awesome.] [Wow! This is a big event that can be recorded in the history of the entertainment industry.] [Wow! Is this the retribution of a scumbag? ] [But Lin Shanchu is also a shareholder of thepany. Isnt this bad for her?] Jiang Tang posted a reply to thatment. [She knows what to do.] Only Lin Shanchu knew if the situation was advantageous for her or not. After that, the verified users who were familiar with Jiang Tang also reposted the Weibo post. More and more people startedmenting on the topic as well. Just like that, it became a trending topic again. Every once in a while, someone in the entertainment industry would end up getting bashed. However, this was the first time that theizens had spammed so many one-star ratings. It was enough to show the extent of theizens disgust for Lu Shiyuan. Some smart people in the industry vaguely guessed that someone was going to mess with Lu Shiyuan. Furthermore, that masterminds background was pretty strong. The ones who were usually in a hurry to curry favor with Lu Shiyuan also stopped and quietly watched from the side. If Lu Shiyuan was really defeated this time If that were the case, then the entertainment industry in Xu City would also change. At that time, they could take advantage of the chaos to share the cake or curry favor with the new boss of the industry. All of a sudden, Lu Shiyuans situation became difficult. The moment Lu Shiyuan arrived at thepany, he threw a tantrum. He then proceeded to berate and scold Zhou Yan as well as the entire PR department. The PR department immediately carried out emergency PR tactics which were to release an official statement and issue awyers letter. However, theizens were so angry at Lu Shiyuan for suppressing the trending topic yesterday that they left a million one-star ratings. How could they calm down so easily? Theizens continued to hurl insults at Lu Shiyuan under the topic #Lu Corporations statement. [#Lu Corporations statement C F*ck! Does that b*stard think he can do whatever he wants just because hes rich?] [#Lu Corporations statement C Today, were brave warriors who are fighting for justice!] [#Lu Corporations statement C A day has passed, yet Lu Shiyuan still doesnt dare to show his face] [#Lu Corporations statement C He can suppress the trending topic, release a statement, and issue awyers letter. Hell do anything except give a straightforward reply. What a coward.] The matter got worse by the second. Zhou Yan started to be anxious. He persuaded, President Lu, why dont we host a press conference? A press conference? Lu Shiyuan turned his head to look at Zhou Yan, his dark eyes not showing any emotions. Zhou Yan nodded his head. This matter blew up so much. If we dont give the public an exnation, Im afraid this matter cant be resolved at all. So, you think you can make decisions for me now? Lu Shiyuan slowly approached Zhou Yan. His voice was very soft, and it carried a strange coldness. By the time Zhou Yan detected Lu Shiyuans emotional change, it was already toote. Lu Shiyuan grabbed his cor and threw him onto the boss chair. Then, I might as well let you be the president! Bang! Bang! Zhou Yan was thrown onto the chair brutally. He ended up getting mmed into the armrest so hard that his ribs hurt. He let out a muffled groan before sliding down to the floor, a frown already present on his pallid face. Lu Shiyuan was still raging at Zhou Yan. You want me to host a press conference and admit defeat? Thats impossible! Once I find the one who leaked the footage, Ill definitely tear him into a thousand pieces! Back when he took over the Lu Corporation, many people imed that he was a business genius. However, now Lu Shiyuan got defeated by an unknown person. No matter what, he couldnt take this lying down. He didnt care how the public opinion on the inte fermented. No one could make him yield! There was no such word in his dictionary. I wont ever lose! Zhou Yan had already recovered a little by now. However, his waist hurt so badly that he couldnt get up. Im sorry, President Lu. I overstepped my boundaries. Get out! Lu Shiyuan nced at him coldly. Zhou Yans ability to do things was getting worse and worse recently. If it wasnt for the fact that Zhou Yan had worked for Lu Shiyuan for years, thetter wouldve told him to pack his things and scram a long time ago. When Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu went to the cafeteria to eat, they saw Nan Mu. Nan Mu was chatting with a few members. When he saw Lin Shanchu, he walked toward her. Has the recording schedule been rearranged at an earlier time? she asked. Nan Mu might not be the real boss, but he was usually quite busy, so he wouldnte to the festival group for no reason. No. Nan Mu shook his head. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Yun Wu happened to be lining up for food, so Nan Mu took the opportunity to pull Lin Shanchu aside with an expression that yearned for gossip. Lu Shiyuan suppressed the trending topic again yesterday. He still dared to suppress the trending topic at this time. It was indeed something that a brainless male protagonist would do. Then, theizens got angry and went to various tforms overnight to give one-star ratings to the dramas and movies produced by the Lu Corporation. Can you guess how many bad reviews theizens gave? Nan Mus expression clearly indicated hurry up and ask me. Lin Shanchu did not let him have his way. Instead, she replied, A hundred million. Nan Mu choked on his words. Shanshan, how many eggs do you want to eat? Yun Wus voice drifted into Lin Shanchus ears. Two, she replied before going to grab her breakfast. Nan Mu was afraid that he would miss the opportunity to share his happiness, so he quickly said to Lin Shanchu, Its a total of a million one-star ratings. Lin Shanchu replied, Lu Shiyuan is worth it. I think so too. Nan Mu nodded frantically. As expected, Lin Shanchu understood him. He didnte over to share his happiness with Lin Shanchu early in the morning for nothing. Lin Shanchu asked Nan Mu, Did youe all the way here early in the morning just to tell me this? Yes, Nan Mu replied. He was serious about bearing grudges. He was also serious about sharing thetest gossip. Lin Shanchu was speechless. In the afternoon. The share market opened. The Lu Corporations share price plummeted. Those who had the Lu Corporations shares cursed at Lu Shiyuan on the forum. In the training camp, Lin Shanchu was putting makeup on Yun Wus face. Thetter was going to record a programter. Lin Shanchu straightened up and took two steps back. She carefully looked at Yun Wu before saying, Its done. When are you leaving? Yun Wu vaguely knew a little about the matters on the inte. Besides, Lin Shanchu had changed into casual clothes, so Yun Wu guessed that the former might not stay to record the show. Lin Shanchu looked at the clock on the wall. Im leaving soon. It was time for the market to open. The Lu Corporations share price continued dropping. However, the shareholders in thepany would definitely not be able to sit still. Lin Shanchu put on some makeup before going to Nan Mus office. She had to retrieve her phone and then go buy a set of decent clothes. From a distance, Lin Shanchu saw Li MO standing at the door of the office. Ms. Lin.. Chapter 111 - 111: Intimidate Her Chapter 111: Intimidate Her Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu noticed that Li MO was holding her bag. Li MO handed the bag to Lin Shanchu. Big Brother is going to record a show with the rest in the afternoon, so I happen to be free right now. Nan Mu asked me to drive you to the Lu Corporation for the shareholders meeting. Lin Shanchu opened her bag to take a look. Her bank card and phone were both there. Do you respect Nan Mu that much? Li Mos personality was simr to Huo Xunzhous. Both of them werent enthusiastic about helping others at all. He seemed to have a good rtionship with Nan Mu, mainly because Huo Xunzhou and Nan Mu were friends. Were all friends. That was definitely not the case. Of course, it was because Lin Shanchu was his sister-inw. However, he did not dare to say that. He was afraid of being beaten up by his brother. Thank you. Youre wee, Ms. Lin. Lin Shanchu had just gotten into the car when she received a call informing her to attend the shareholders meeting. After entering the city, she spotted a fashion boutique by the road and bought a red dress. She changed into her dress and reapplied her lipstick. The dress and lipstick were as red as blood. Theyplemented her fair skin, making her look so beautiful that she didnt look like a real person at all. She was like a subus who had been draining peoples life energy at night. She was extremely beautiful but also filled with killing intent. Li MO thought, That devilish side of hers is back. Lin Shanchu had been in the training camp all this time, so she had been spending her days mingling with youngdies of her age. Other than her appearance and temperament, she was no different from thosedies in other aspects. Li MO had even forgotten that the first time he saw Lin Shan Chu, she had always retained her devilish aura. Even his brother, who had always been uninterested in the fairer sex, had seen through her. Thinking about how Huo Xunzhou loved Lin Shanchus devilish appearance, Li MO felt that he should take a picture of Lin Shanchu and send it to his big brother. He was really a considerate little brother! Li MO took out his phone and secretly took a picture. As it was his first time doing something like this, he had forgotten to turn off the sound that the camera made when taking a picture. Snap! Lin Shanchu, who was tidying her hair, turned around and asked, Li MO, what are you doing? Perhaps it was because of her makeup, but Lin Shanchu looked exceptionally fierce at this moment. Li MO felt that this gaze was somewhat simr to his big brothers when he was angry. He suddenly felt guilty. But that didnt stop him from pushing the me on Huo Xunzhou. Big yrotner asKea me to cal-ce a picture or you ana sena co mm: Li MO was usually a man of few words and always had a straight face. He had even fewer expressions than Huo Xunzhou. When he lied, he was also very serious, making it difficult for people to tell the truth. Lin Shanchu stared at him for a moment, but she couldnt tell if Li MO was lying or not. She thought about how she was able to attend the shareholders meeting today because of Huo Xunzhou. Do you want to take a few more pictures of me to choose from? she asked cooperatively. Sure thing! Li MO took a few more pictures. Pick the one you think is the best and send it to your big brother, Lin Shanchu said after getting into the car. Li MO revealed a puzzled expression that was exclusive to dense men. Arent these pictures all the same? Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment before reaching out to him. Give me the phone. Ill choose it for you. Ive already sent them all to Big Brother. Lin Shanchu was speechless. At the recording location of My Stage. There was still some time before the recording started. Nan Mu was discussing the recording with the staff. Huo Xunzhou sat at the side and fiddled with his phone casually. Suddenly, his phone vibrated, showing a new message. It consisted of pictures sent by Li Mo. After Huo Xunzhou opened the first picture, his eyes never left the screen. The woman in the photo was beaming with excitement. He remembered that when Li MO first met Lin Shan Chu, he had said that she had a devilish appearance. Lin Shanchu didnt look devilish. She had a vigorous vitality. As long as Lu Shiyuan was still alive in this world, Lin Shanchu would never give up on herself. What are you so engrossed in? Nan Mus voice came from behind. Huo Xunzhou quickly exited the chat interface and pressed the lock button. Let me take a look too. Nan Mu grabbed Huo Xunzhous phone out of curiosity. Huo Xunzhous phone had a fingerprint password. Hurry up and unlock it. Nan Mu handed the phone to him. Huo Xunzhou took the phone and put it back in his pocket. He said expressionlessly, Im not showing it to you. Whats so precious about it? Nan Mu was even more curious. Huo Xunzhou only nced at Nan Mu. Knowing that it was difficult to achieve his goal, Nan Mu quickly surrendered. Song Yiming is calling me again. Ill go take a look Nan Mu couldnt help but mutter as he walked away. He deserves to stay single because of his bad temper He was worried that Huo Xunzhou would hear him. When he turned around to peek at Huo Xunzhou, he realized that Huo Xunzhou was looking in his direction. Nan Mu was so scared that he ran away. However, Huo Xunzhou was looking at Yun Wu not far away from Nan Mu. About two meters away, Yun Wu tilted her head and mouthed silently to Huo Xunzhou, I saw it. Lu Corporation. The door of the meeting room was slightly ajar. Lin Shanchu stood at the doorway while listening to the voicesing from the inside. President Lu, is Ms. Lining or not? The voice sounded slightly unfamiliar. This was Lin Shanchus first time attending a shareholders meeting. Before this, she had nevere into contact with the shareholders of the Lu Corporation, so she did not know any of them. Didnt you inform Lin Shanchu of this meeting? Dont you know if shesing or not? Lu Shiyuans voice was very recognizable. Even though she couldnt see him, she could hear the strong hostility in his voice. The shareholders instantly fell silent. Lu Shiyuan still had a few tricks up his sleeve. Otherwise, how could he have firmly grasped the ultimate authority over the Lu Corporation in his hands despite getting besieged by the other crafty shareholders? These shareholders were afraid of Lu Shiyuan, but they were not convinced that he could lead thepany well. This time, they finally had the chance to pull Lu Shiyuan down from the presidents position. They couldnt bear to let the chance go, but they didnt dare to be Lu Shiyuans enemies. Every shareholder had suffered losses at Lu Shiyuans hands. This included Lin Shanchu. Sorry, Imte. Lin Shanchu kicked the door open and walked in with a smile. The other shareholders all smiled warmly. Ms. Lin, youre finally here. I was waiting for you. Come take a seat. Lin Shanchus smile disappeared as her voice turned cold. Where do you want me to sit? The shareholders had different expressions. Ms. Lin, theres a seat reserved for you here. They looked around. There was only one seat at the end of the conference table. These shareholders deliberately left a position at the very end. Seeing as she was just a young woman, they wanted to show her their might and control her. Lin Shanchu nced at the shareholder who spoke, her eyes filled with disdain. These shareholders had only heard of Lin Shanchus weak personality, so they hade up with this n. But now, they realized that Lin Shanchu wasnt as easy to deal with as they had imagined. Lin Shanchu walked straight to Lu Shiyuans side. Ever since Lin Shanchu came in, Lu Shiyuans gaze had not shifted away from her. Seeing her walk up to him, he snapped back to his senses.. Oh? You want to sit on my chair? Chapter 112 - 112: I Want This Seat Chapter 112: I Want This Seat Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu didnt say yes or no. She only said lightly to Lu Shiyuan, Get out of the way. Lu Shiyuan stared at Lin Shanchu and slowly stood up. He didnt believe that Lin Shanchu would dare to take his seat. However, just as he stood up, Lin Shanchu kicked his chair to the side. For the past month or so, she had been on the production team of My Stage. She spent almost every waking minute going through physical training. Now, it could finally be of some use. All the shareholders gasped in shock at Lin Shanchus action. Everyone was silent out of fear. No one dared to speak. However, they all moved their chairs away silently, as if they were afraid that they would be affected by the battle between Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan shouted at Lin Shanchu, Are you crazy? Li MO had been with Huo Xunzhou, so he wasnt as simple-minded and brawny as ordinary bodyguards. Lin Shanchu gave him a look and he understood what she meant. He turned around and walked quickly, bringing the empty chair over and cing it where Lu Shiyuans chair was just now. Thank you. Lin Shanchu gently stroked her dress and sat down, looking as elegant as if she was at home. She didnt say anything unnecessary, but her bodynguage was more than enough to express one thing C I want this seat. She was so arrogant that she did not look like a young woman in her early twenties. Lin Shanchu was clearly trying to seize power. The entire conference room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Lin Shanchu leaned back in her chair and tapped her slender fingers on the table. Lets begin. The shareholders all looked at Lu Shiyuan, who was still standing. If your beloved president prefers standing in the room, then let him be. Hurry up and proceed with the meeting. I still have many matters to deal with. Lin Shanchus tone was light. She didnt even bother to look at Lu Shiyuan. If not for the fact that the shareholders present were all veterans of the Lu Corporation, they would have thought that the Lu Corporation had changed its surname to Lin. Begin. Lu Shiyuan pulled out a chair and sat down expressionlessly. Only then did the shareholders dare to speak. This incident has had a huge impact on ourpany. The share price has plummeted today, and arge number of individual investors have begun to sell their shares. ording to the current situation, this is definitely just the beginning. This is the first time thepany has fallen so much since President Lu took over. We here have witnessed how capable you are, President Lu. Its just that the outside world has too deep of a misunderstanding about you this time. Not only have our projects been boycotted, but investors have also begun to withdraw their investments As expected of cunning, experienced businessmen. No one berated Lu Shiyuan on the outside. However, each and every word uttered earlier used him of causing huge damage to thepany. Lu Shiyuan was very clever whenever he dealt with business matters. Therefore, he knew very well that these shareholders wanted to dismiss him with a wless excuse. Since you called for an emergency meeting, does this mean youve thought of a solution? he asked with a sneer. The shareholders were waiting for Lu Shiyuan to ask that question. President Lu, youve been working hard for thepany all these years, so you werent able to rest for a very long time. As the older generation, we cant bear to see you suffer any longer. Yeah. President Lu, why dont you take this opportunity to rest? We oldies can use this opportunity to get our rusted minds working again. Once youre done resting, youre always wee to return to thispany Before thest shareholder could finish his sentence, he let out a miserable cry. That was because Lu Shiyuan threw a ss in his direction. If you want my position, you can snatch it from me right away! It depends on your capability whether or not you can snatch it from me! Lu Shiyuan had always been arrogant, but this was the first time he had thrown a ss at a shareholder. The shareholder was so angry that he pointed at Lu Shiyuan while cursing up a storm. Lu Shiyuan, weve always cared for and tolerated you because youre the younger generation! Youre uncouth and have no manners! Lu Shiyuans expression was cold. Shut up if you still want to spend your twilight years in peace. That particr shareholder was on the verge of having a heart attack. The other shareholders were also furious. They finally remembered Lin Shanchu, who had been silently watching the show from the side. Ms. Lin, what do you think about this? Do you think President Lu can manage thepany well I feel very disappointed. Lin Shanchu then continued slowly, The key to this matter is not who is managing thepany. Its how Jing Ming died. Yet, you guys never mentioned Jing Ming at all. These people had never thought of solving the problem. They only wanted to pull Lu Shiyuan down. Lu Shiyuan was as conceited as ever, so he didnt respect anyone. That celebritymitted suicide! Thepany would just put on a show by pretending to investigate, then release a statement when the time is right! Thepanys share price is the most important thing now! Speaking of the share price, the shareholders began to frown again. Ms. Lin, arent you worried? The share price? Lin Shanchu asked softly. She seemed like she had thought of something that made her particrly happy, seeing as the corners of her lips slowly curled into a radiant smile. Im not worried at all. What did thepanys life and death have to do with her? What did the rise and fall of the shares have to do with her? Her only goal was for Lu Shiyuan to die. Lin Shanchu was extremely beautiful. She was many times prettier than the best female celebrities in thepany. When she smiled, she looked even more charming. However, when the shareholders saw her smile, they felt chills running down their spines. It was as if they were confronting a poisonous snake. Vipers could easily kill people with their bites. Lu Shiyuan was the first to react. Lin Shanchu, what the hell are you doing? He stood up and tried to drag Lin Shanchu to her feet. But with Li MO around, he couldnt get close to Lin Shanchu. Li MO stood in front of Lin Shanchu with a poker face. President Lu, a gentleman doesnt resort to violence. Lu Shiyuan already felt that Li MO looked quite familiar earlier. At this moment, he finally remembered who Li MO was. He was Huo Xunzhous bodyguard. Move aside! At this moment, there was amotion outside the meeting room. In the next second. The meeting room door was pushed open. The police walked in. Were conducting an investigation!! After the police officer showed his ID, he walked straight to Lu Shiyuan. Are you Lu Shiyuan? Lu Shiyuan was no stranger to such a scene. He shot Lin Shanchu a meaningful look before replying, Yes. We suspect that you are involved in a criminal case. Pleasee with us to assist in the investigation. The police officer took out his handcuffs. Lu Shiyuan stared at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. Lin Shanchu! How dare you As he spoke, he walked toward Lin Shanchu again, as if he was about to make a move on her on the spot. The police officer immediately grabbed the man and handcuffed him. Lu Shiyuan, please cooperate with us! Lin Shanchu stood up and walked to Lu Shiyuan while speaking in an extremely gentle tone. Be a dear and cooperate with the police properly in their investigation. Dont worry about thepany. After all, Im thepanys secondrgest shareholder.. Chapter 113 - 113: Smashing the Door With the Hammer Chapter 113: Smashing the Door With the Hammer The shareholders watched as Lu Shiyuan was taken away by the police. Ms. Lin, did you call the police? Yup. Lin Shanchu admitted right away, Ive done such a great deed by surrendering a family member to the police! Arent I amazing? She sounded like an innocent child who wanted to be praised. The shareholders expressions changed drastically as they reprimanded Lin Shan Chu. Do you know that once the news of Lu Shiyuan being taken away by the police spreads, the impact will be even worse? No matter what, hes still the person in charge of thepany! Cant we just settle thepanys matters internally? Why did you call the police? They just wanted to pull Lu Shiyuan down. They did not want thepanys interests to be harmed. After all, harming thepanys interests was equivalent to harming their own interests. Lin Shanchu ignored their reprimands. Its gettingte. Time for all of you to go home and rest. What do you mean by that? Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and said impatiently, I said that old people like you guys should just stay at home. People who point fingers and cause trouble wont live long. You Lin Shanchu turned around and left. The shareholders were so angry that their faces turned red. Unfortunately, Lin Shanchu was the type that didnt listen to others. She was even more difficult to deal withpared to Lu Shiyuan. They couldnt do anything to her. Hence, they forcefully suppressed their rage. Lu Shiyuan has been taken away by the police. The remaining shareholders have to vote for someone to lead thepany. Lin Shanchu was already at the door. She turned around with a smile. All right. Remember to ask Uncle Lu to vote as well for the sake of fairness. Ill be the one leading thispany as the secondrgest shareholder before he returns. With that, she disappeared from the door. The shareholders mmed their hands on the table in anger. Look at these two brats! All of them are evil! Thats right! She knows that its impossible for Lu Qinghuai to return, but she still wants us to look for him! Its clear that shes looking down on us! Im so angry right now! The police took Lu Shiyuan away via the underground parking lot. However, Lu Shiyuan, who was a popr man from the start, attracted the paparazzis attention immediately. Therefore, there were already groups of paparazzi lying in ambush around the Lu Corporation. There were paparazzi everywhere, including the main entrance, the back door, and the underground parking lot. When the paparazzi saw the police bringing Lu Shiyuan out, they all surrounded him and took pictures of him immediately. Dont interfere with our case investigation The police blocked Lu Shiyuan from the paparazzi. Officer, we wont cause any trouble for you. Well leave immediately. The paparazziughed as they retreated. They didnt dare to surround Lu Shiyuan and the police as they usually did. The paparazzi took pictures while reporting back to theirpanies. When Lu Shiyuan got into the police car, many media outlets had already published their articles. The topic named #Lu Shiyuan was taken away by the police quickly climbed up the trending list. Lin Shanchu walked out of the meeting room and went straight to Lu Shiyuans office. Li MO silently followed Lin Shan Chu. Lin Shanchus voice came from the front. Thank you for today. Its my duty. After all, she was Big Brothers woman. They were all family. Lin Shanchu could guess what Li MO was thinking, hence a smile shed across her eyes. The people around Huo Xunzhou always misunderstood her rtionship with him. Zhou Yan waited at the door of the presidents office. He approached them the moment he saw theming. Ms. Lin. Oh. That was Lu Shiyuansckey. Lin Shanchu ignored him. Zhou Yan stopped her as soon as she tried to open the door. Ms. Lin, President Lu has instructed that no one is allowed to enter his office before he returns. It had been three years since Jing Mings incident. When the case happened that year, thepany also called the police to investigate the matter. It was finally determined to be a suicide. This time, Lin Shanchu called the police to take Lu Shiyuan away because public opinion festered beyond control thanks to this case. That was why Lu Shiyuan had to return to the police station just to cooperate with the police in their investigation. Truthfully speaking, there was no conclusive evidence to prove that Lu Shiyuan was directly rted to Jing Mings death. Therefore, Lu Shiyuan would be back soon. Lin Shanchus eyes curled upward into a pair of smiling crescents as she asked excitedly, Is Lu Shiyuan that afraid of me? After such a long time, Lu Shiyuan the conceited and arrogant scumbag finally started to take her destructive power seriously. He was starting to fear her. Zhou Yan frowned slightly. He felt that Lin Shan Chu was a little weird. Li MO walked forward and pushed Zhou Yan away with one hand. Zhou Yan still wanted toe over and stop Lin Shanchu, but he was no match for Li Mo. Li MO pinned Zhou Yan against the wall, causing him to be immobilized. Lin Shanchu turned the doorknob, but soon she realized she was unable to turn it. It appeared that the door was locked. Wheres the key? Lin Shanchu asked Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan refused to speak up. He seemed like he would rather die than give up the key to Lu Shiyuans office. Lin Shanchu knew Lu Shiyuans temper the best. He would never treat Zhou Yan well. However, Zhou Yan acted as if he was drugged by Lu Shiyuan, seeing as he was extremely loyal to thetter. Did Lu Shiyuan save your life? Lin Shanchu asked with a chuckle. Yes. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Li MO walked over with the intention to kick the door down for Lin Shanchu. However, Lin Shanchu turned his offer down. Its fine. Ill do it myself. Lin Shanchu took out her phone and fiddled with it a few times. Then, she stood there and waited. The news of Lu Shiyuan being taken away by the police spread like wildfire on the inte, so everyone in thepany was in a state of panic. The secretaries in the secretarys office were not in the mood to work either. They wanted toe over and take a look at the situation by using the excuse of delivering some documents. The moment a secretary came over, she saw Zhou Yan getting pinned to the will. Lin Shanchu stood at the side while looking very rxed. She was beautiful and eye-catching, but her aura was extremely strong. Lin Shanchu looked up the moment she heard footsteps approaching her. The secretary was stunned by her gaze and stammered, P-President Lin, these documents need to be signed She clearly had a very harmless appearance, but she was so beautiful that she looked deadly and threatening. Wait a minute. Lin Shanchu gently tilted her head, gesturing for the secretary to wait at the side. The secretary stood obediently at the side with the documents in her arms. At the same time, she couldnt help but nce at Lin Shanchu. Thetter had great hair quality. Not only did she have a head full of hair, but the strands were also long and dark. Her skin was so fair and smooth. Her waist was so slender. She had long, beautiful legs as well. The secretary, who was also a woman, couldnt help but stare at Lin Shanchu. President Lu was definitely an idiot. Hello, may I know which one of you is Ms. Lin? The hammer you ordered has arrived. Please sign the parcel. A delivery man exited the elevator with a hammer at that moment while hollering loudly. Its me. Im the one who ordered it, Lin Shanchu replied loudly. Its very heavy, the delivery man reminded her. I know. Thank you. Lin Shanchu epted it with a smile. The delivery mans face turned red. The one who ordered the hammer was actually Lin Shanchu. She was so beautiful and gentle. In the next second, the beautiful and gentle Lin Shanchu raised her hammer and smashed it against the door. The secretary was so shocked that she dropped the documents in her arms. Lin Shanchu smashed the office door a few times. Soon, it was all wrecked up. Pick up the documents. After reminding the secretary, Lin Shanchu dragged the hammer into the office.. Chapter 114 - 114: You Should Be Lucky That My Parents Passed Away Early Chapter 114: You Should Be Lucky That My Parents Passed Away Early Everyone who was shocked by Lin Shanchus actions finally came back to their senses. Li MO looked at the smashed door. He pondered for two seconds before taking out his phone to take a picture of it. After that, he sent it to Huo Xunzhou. However, Huo Xunzhou was recording a show and didnt have time to look at his phone. The secretary hurriedly picked up the documents and entered the office. The other secretaries in the secretarys office heard themotion, but they didnt dare toe over. They only dared to secretly watch Lin Shanchu smash the door with a hammer from afar. Someone took out his phone to record a video. Shes definitely brutal. In the office. The secretary ced the documents in front of Lin Shanchu. President Lin, these are Lin Shanchu picked up the pen and signed. The secretary hesitated for a moment before asking softly, President Lin, arent you going to take a look? I believe in your working capability. Lin Shanchu put the cap back on, a hint of a smile present in her gentle tone. The secretarys face turned red. Ill work hard! When the secretary returned to the secretarys office, she was still dizzy with tion. How did you get the documents signed so quickly? the other secretaries asked her. The secretary blushed. Lin Shanchu is so beautiful and gentle. The other secretaries were speechless. There was a bar counter in Lu Shiyuans office. It was stocked with all sorts of beverages including coffee and tea, and it could even be used to make fruit juice and milk tea. Of course, Lu Shiyuan would not drink fruit juice or milk tea. But Tang Qidai drank those sorts of beverages. Lin Shanchu picked out a box of the most expensive tea leaves. Li MO, do you want some tea? No. Li MO hesitated before answering. How could he ask his future sister-inw to brew tea for him? Lin Shanchu smiled and made him a cup of tea. Thank you. Li MO hurriedly took it. I should be the one thanking you. Youve helped me a lot. If Huo Xunzhou hadnt released the surveince footage, Lu Shiyuan wouldnt have fallen so hard this time. Li MO didnt forget to remind Lin Shanchu of Huo Xunzhous contributions. Big Brother is always very helpful. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Under Lin Shanchus suspicious gaze, Li MO gradually lost his confidence and rephrased hispliment. Well, he loves helping people out depending on his mood. Lin Shanchu! Tang Qidai barged into the office angrily. She threw the phone in front of Lin Shanchu and shouted, Are you trying to kill Brother Shiyuan? On the phone screen was a news article from the media denouncing the Lu Corporation. It was all about Lu Shiyuan being involved in a murder case, the Lu Corporation being finished, and the reshuffling of the entertainment industry in Xu City. Yeah. Lin Shanchu smiled. You Tang Qidai choked. Do you know that because of you, the investors of my new drama have all withdrawn their investments? I do now. Lin Shanchu pushed Tang Qidais phone away. Its good that they withdrew their investments. Its a losing deal anyway. Tang Qidai chuckled out of anger while grabbing her hair in frustration. Ever since you epted the interview, public opinion has been targeting the Lu Corporation and Brother Shiyuan. The Lu Corporations shares have even fallen to a new low! What benefits could you possibly obtain out of this? Your parents worked hard in founding the Lu Corporation too! Are you going to let them down like this? Arent you afraid that they will be disappointed in you? Lin Shanchu had to admit that Tang Qidai was quite good at coaxing people. Otherwise, she wouldnt have gotten lied to by Tang Qidai when she was young and even treated her like a true friend. How would you know that my parents are disappointed? Lin Shanchu approached Tang Qidai and asked seriously, Did my parents tell you in the middle of the night? Tang Qidais lips moved, but she was momentarily at a loss for words. You should be d that my parents passed away early. Otherwise, its hard to say whether you can still survive till now, judging from how much they dote on me. Lin Shanchu walked out from the bar counter. What a pity. Tang Qidai sneered. They were destined to die early because they had such short lifespans. Thats why I envy you so much. You were abandoned in front of an orphanage when you were born. After your parents abandoned you, they should be living very happily, right? Seeing Tang Qidais sudden change in expression, Lin Shanchu smiled in satisfaction. The Tang family had adopted Tang Qidai from an orphanage. The more a personcked something, the more they liked to show off. Therefore, Tang Qidai had always assumed the persona of a rich heiress when she debuted. Lin Shanchu, you b*tch! Im going to tear your mouth apart! The fact that she was abandoned by her biological parents in the orphanage had always been a sore spot for Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai lunged at Lin Shanchu and reached out to p her mouth. Lin Shanchus lips curled into a disdainful smile. Just like in the novel, Tang Qidai would go crazy whenever the backstory of her being from an orphanage was mentioned. Lin Shanchu lifted her leg and pulled the chair in front of her. Tang Qidai, who was lunging at her, tripped over the chair and fell to the ground with a thud. Daidai! Tang Qidais manager rushed over. Seeing Tang Qidai fall to the ground, the manager frowned and helped her up. Then, she started arguing with Lin Shanchu, Ms. Lin, arent you going too far by treating Daidai like this? No matter what, Daidai and President Lu are still friends! Even though Tang Qidai had a bad temper, President Lu still liked her. As Tang Qidais manager, she had also basked in the limelight, so she naturally had to speak up for her. The manager had been in the industry for so long. Naturally, she knew that Lu Shiyuan would not copse over such a small matter, so she wanted to use Lu Shiyuan to pressure Lin Shanchu. In her eyes, Lin Shanchu was just a fiance in name only. Even if Lin Shanchu had some shares in her hand, Lu Shiyuan still had the final say in the Lu Corporation. Lin Shanchu sized up Tang Qidais manager. Whats your name? Kong Suyi. Tang Qidais manager thought that Lin Shanchu was finally scared of her, so she tilted her chin proudly. Lin Shanchu walked to his desk, picked up his phone, and dialed the number of the HR department. Fire the manager named Kong Suyi. Lin Shanchu then hung up the phone. Kong Suyi, you can go get your money and leave now. Who gave you the right to fire me? Kong Suyi shouted. Kong Suyi is my manager. Its not up to you to fire her! Tang Qidai started speaking up for Kong Suyi. When Tang Qidai debuted, Kong Suyi was the one who managed her. Therefore, Kong Suyi knew everything that Tang Qidai had done all these years. Actually, she had gotten tired of Kong Suyi a long time ago. After all, Kong Suyi had managed her for several years, but she had yet to be an extremely popr celebrity. Unfortunately, Kong Suyi knew too many of her secrets. Even though Tang Qidai was annoyed, she had no choice but to protect Kong Suyi. Thats right! After noticing Tang Qidais efforts to speak up for her, Kong Suyi looked confident once again. Lin Shanchu nced at Tang Qidai. Oh. As for you, you look exhausted. You must have tired yourself out recently. Take a break. Take a break? Lin Shanchu nodded her head childishly, but her words sent chills down Tang Qidais spine. Dont worry. Ill get the others to distribute your gigs to other celebrities.. Chapter 115 - 115: Let’s See How You Explain This to Him Chapter 115: Lets See How You Exin This to Him Kong Suyi started to panic. Lin Shanchus tone and expression were too calm andposed, giving people the feeling that she would definitely do what she said. Was she really going to be fired? She turned to Tang Qidai in a daze. Daidai Tang Qidai was also a little flustered, but she still tried to bluff. How dare you! Lin Shanchu called a secretary right before their eyes. Tell the celebrity director toe to my office. The celebrity director arrived very quickly. As the leadingpany in the entertainment industry, the management of thepany wasprised of capable people with foresight. After the celebrity director found out that Lu Shiyuan had been taken away, he had been waiting in his office, so he was able toe to the office quickly. The director looked like he was in his early thirties. He seemed capable and efficient. President Lin. Tang Qidai is going on vacation. Assign her gigs to someone else. Surprise shed across the celebrity directors face, but his expression quickly returned to normal. All right, President Lin. However, if a celebrity suddenly stops working, she needs to give her fans an exnation. When the timees, well draft a statement. Do you need to take a look at it? Lin Shanchu supported her forehead with her palm as she smiled. You dont have to worry about that. Ill handle it. The world of this novel was really interesting. Other than the main character and the supporting characters, almost everyone else was very intelligent. Even the celebrity director, a passerby whose name did not even exist in the novel, was able to demonstrate his wless logic. The celebrity director had said all this because he wanted to ask Lin Shanchu for the reason behind Tang Qidais sudden suspension. However, the celebrity director was unsure of Lin Shanchus attitude toward Tang Qidai and was worried that she would be displeased if he were to ask her directly. Indeed, in this circle, everyone working on the stage or behind the scenes was very smart. The celebrity director replied, I understand. Is there anything else, President Lin? Give me a copy of Jing Mings information, Lin Shanchu said after a moments thought. The celebrity director turned around and walked to Kong Suyi and Tang Qidai. Pleasee with me to proceed with the handover. Kong Suyi looked at Tang Qidai in disbelief while whispering, Daidai Meanwhile, Tang Qidai red at Lin Shanchu. Lets see how youre going to exin to Brother Shiyuan when he returns! The two of them left with the celebrity director. Lin Shanchu watched them leave. Then, she opened Weibo on her phone. She twirled around on the executive chair with the tips of her toes touching the ground while scrolling through Weibo. Todays entertainment rankings were very lively. Her acquaintances were involved in most of them. #Lin? ?Mo didnt participate in the live recording of My Stage #Yun Wu got second ce #Lu Shiyuan was taken away by the police #The ranking of My Stage is released #An Youyun got fourth ce Lin Shanchu knew Yun Wu was really capable. If second ce was what she wanted, then she would definitely obtain it. If An Youyun was ranked fourth, Xia Jinmeng would probably be ranked third. As expected, An Youyun could notpare to Xia Jinmeng. Lin Shanchu clicked on Yun Wus trending topics and discovered that theizens were all praising Yun Wu. Strong and capable people were always loved by all. Lin Shanchu exited the topic and saw thetest trending topic. #Lin Shanchu is number one At this moment, the secretary came over to deliver some documents. President Lin, the celebrity director asked me to deliver the files to you. It was the information on Jing Ming that Lin Shanchu had mentioned earlier. Li MO, who had been sitting at the side while pretending that he never existed, also came over. Jing Ming was only 23 years old at that time His gaze fell on the column that showed Jing Mings date of birth. Lin Shanchu moved the files to the side and started reading through them with Li Mo. Didnt you dig up any information on Jing Ming? If Huo Xunzhou was able to get thest footage of Jing Mings death three years ago, he should have dug up Jing Mings information a long time ago. Why is it necessary for us to do that? Li MO didnt know that Lin Shanchu already knew that Huo Xunzhou was behind this. He was still covering for Huo Xunzhou genuinely. I know everything. Li MO knew Huo Xunzhous personality the best. It was impossible for Big Brother to take the initiative to tell Ms. Lin about this. Did that mean Ms. Lin guessed everything on her own? Big Brother had always been meticulous. How was Ms. Lin able to reach that conclusion? Li MO took half a step back in fear. Lin Shanchu looked at Li Mot s actions with mixed feelings. Just read the files. Lin Shanchu didnt care much about anything other than her goal of taking Lu Shiyuans life. However, she had said in an interview that she would re-investigate Jing Mings case and give everyone an exnation. She needed to maintain her integrity as an honest woman. Lin Shanchu carefully read through Jing Mings files. He came from a well-off family and was the only child. Three years ago, Jing Mings parents left Xu City and immigrated abroad after dealing with Jing Mings funeral with broken hearts. Jing Mings manager, Qi Cheng, was still in the country. Lin Shanchu dialed Qi Chengs number. As expected, she couldnt call his number at all. Now that Jing Mings matter was brought up again, the reporters naturally wouldnt let go of the opportunity to get information from Qi Cheng. I can only try my luck at Qi Chengs house. Lin Shanchu brought Li MO with her. When they reached the lobby, Li MO whispered, Ms. Lin, there are many reporters outside. Its all right. Lin Shanchu walked out. What she wanted was exposure and poprity. Since Lu Shiyuan would not be easily defeated, Lin Shanchu would make good use of the opportunity to make a name for herself, seeing as Lu Shiyuan wouldnt be able to get in contact with the outside world during his time in the police station. Lin Shanchu had just stepped out when the reporters swarmed over. The security guards quickly formed a human barricade around her to protect her from the reporters. All the reporters stretched out their hands and passed their microphones to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu, can you tell me about the progress of Jing Mings case? Is Lu Shiyuan directly rted to Jing Mings death? I heard that you fired Tang Qidais manager and suspended all her work. Why did you do that? Someizens are iming that youre doing this because youre jealous of Tang Qidai! Please answer our questions! Tang Qidai and Kong Suyi werent easy to deal with. It was not surprising that the news had spread so quickly. Why would I be jealous of Tang Qidai? Lin Shanchu asked one of the reporters. Theizens are saying that youve always been jealous of Tang Qidais close rtionship with your fianc, Lu Shiyuan. Shouldnt Tang Qidai be jealous of the fact that Im Lu Shiyuans fiance? Lin Shanchu asked. The reporter was speechless. What she said made sense. [Theizens also imed that youre jealous of Tang Qidais projects.] Lin Shanchu exined, Tang Qidai does have a lot of projects. Shes taken on six lead roles since her debut. The highest-rated drama scored 6 points, while the lowest-rated drama scored 3-9 points. The reporter was speechless. Those scores didnt seem to be worthy of Lin Shanchus jealousy. The reporter stopped talking. Its my turn now, Lin Shanchu refuted. Tang Qidai has always been thepanys top priority when ites to nurturing our celebrities. The first role she took on after her debut was the lead role. Thepany gave her resources, but the effects werent obvious. Recently, not only has Tang Qidai not improved, but her reputation has also worsened. She even lost a few jobs, and her condition has be very bad. Thepany has determined that her manager has neglected her duties during this period of time. Thats why I fired her manager and told her to rest for the time being.. Chapter 116 - 116: I’ll Bring You A Gift When I Come Back Chapter 116: Ill Bring You A Gift When I Come Back Lin Mo words fell. Only the sounds of the camera shutters could be heard. What she said was reasonable. The reporters could not find any fault with it. Tang Qidai had indeed be famous because of Lu Shiyuans resources. Thanks to him, she was able to be an A-rank celebrity. She had always been controversial because she wasnt as skilled as a typical A-rank celebrity. The diehard fans she had were all attracted by the persona she had gone to great lengths to maintain. Basically, Tang Qidai wasnt able to reap any fans from the neutral crowd. Recently, Lin Shanchu had been in the limelight when she participated in a talent show. Tang Qidai had been targeting her everywhere, but all her ns kept getting foiled. In the end, she had even gotten herself into trouble. Tang Qidais series of actions caused her reputation to plummet in front of the neutral crowd. These were all public secrets. This way, it was reasonable for Lin Shanchu to fire Kong Suyi and ask Tang Qidai to suspend her work. Did you really make all arrangements for Tang Qidai without your personal feelings manipting you? the reporter asked. Lin Shanchu smiled. As a businesswoman, I view those who can make money for thepany as my ancestors. Everyone wants to earn lots of money, right? The reporter was speechless. It felt like he had been implicated. If it wasnt for the fact that he wanted toplete his performance If not for his meager sry He wouldnt have to squat outdoors in the 40-degree summer heat just to get the first scoop. Yes! he agreed. Lin Shanchu continued, Thank you for paying attention to the Lu Corporation. We will continue to improve under your supervision. After getting into the car, Lin Shanchu noticed Li Mos worried expression. Whats wrong? she asked. Im fine. Li MO started the car. To be honest, he was a little worried for his big brother. When Lin Shanchu held the shareholders meeting, she told the shareholders that she didnt care about thepanys share market at all. When she was interviewed just now, she imed that earning money was her top priority. It turned out that women were great liars. Big Brother had never been in a rtionship before. How could he be Ms. Lins match? At this moment, Li Mos phone rang. Li MO was driving, so it wasnt convenient for him to answer the call. Lin Shanchu nced at the screen and saw the words Big Brother. It was Huo Xunzhou. Li MO noticed Lin Shanchus gaze. Ms. Lin, can you help me answer the phone? Lin Shanchu leaned over and took Li Mos phone. She swiped the answer button and put it on speaker mode. The person on the other side didnt say anything immediately. Two secondster, Huo Xunzhous voice came through the phone. Lin Shanchu? How did you know it was me? Lin Shanchus eyes widened. Huo Xunzhou chuckled softly. It wasnt hard to guess. Li MO always took the initiative to speak when he answered his calls. Today, Li MO was with Lin Shanchu. Big Brother, Im driving. What happened? Li MO asked loudly. Huo Xunzhou wouldnt call him for no reason. Im going on a business trip tonight. Ill be back tomorrow. Huo Xunzhous smile disappeared and his tone became serious. What time? His brother was going on a business trip, so naturally, he had to go with him. Ill go by myself, said Huo Xunzhou. Big Brother Li MO was about to speak again when Huo Xunzhou interrupted him. Its decided then. Ill have a word with Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu turned off the speaker mode and ced the phone to her ear. Congrattions on getting first ce again, Shanshan. After turning off the speaker mode, the man on the other end of the line started to call her Shanshan without any restraint. Lin Shanchu suppressed her voice and started speaking in a slow cadence. Its all thanks to you that I can achieve my goal. Li MO, who was driving in the front row, was shocked by Lin Shanchus voice. Fortunately, he was extremely skilled in driving and didnt make any errors. On the other end of the line, Huo Xunzhou was silent for three seconds. Shanshan, youre a smart woman. I think you should understand that you wont be able to obtain everything you want in life without obstacles. Lin Shanchu suspected that Huo Xunzhou was disgusted by her voice and was trying to cripple her confidence. She Imew that Huo Xunzhou must have Imown that she was talking about Lu Shiyuan. It was the same asst time. Xia Jinmeng and Tang Qidai had gotten the media to spread rumors that she was harassing the students. She had deliberately released the news that she was going to hold a press conference, thinking that Lu Shiyuan might break off their engagement. Huo Xunzhou said that she couldnt get her wish. Hmph! Lin Shanchu snorted. Brother Xunzhou, youre so smart. Im sure you understand that peoples predictions dont alwayse true. Even if she could not bring Lu Shiyuan down this time, she would make him sustain some losses. She refused to believe that Huo Xunzhou was so omnipotent that he would be able to nail each prediction on the head. Sensing the anger in her tone, Huo Xunzhous lips curled into a small smile. Youre right, Shanshan. Lin Shanchu was a young woman who was the most lovable when she was angry. Of course, Lin Shanchu didnt know what Huo Xunzhou was thinking. She just felt that Huo Xunzhou was mocking her. Lin Shanchu emphasized each word. Just wait and see! Ill bring you a gift when Ie back. Huo Xunzhous tone was as gentle as if he was coaxing a child. Goodbye! Huo Xunzhou was probably bored to death, so he decided to say such things just to tease her. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone. When she Dut Li Mos Dhone back. she looked uD and saw Li Mos fatherlv smile. Lin? Mo was speechless. Although she didnt think that the conversation between her and Huo Xunzhou had any ambiguous elements, she felt that she could not exin herself at all. Qi Cheng lived in a very private neighborhood. There were reporters waiting at the entrance of the neighborhood. Some reporters tried to sneak in, but the security guards always saw through their intentions. How do we get in? Li MO asked. Were here to look for someone, not to cause trouble for them. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she got out of the car and walked toward the security booth at the entrance of the neighborhood. Hello, Im here to look for Qi Cheng who lives in Block 5. Lin Shanchu smiled as she voiced her request politely. When the security guard saw her face, he was stunned by her beauty. Qi Cheng hasnt been home recently. How do you know he isnt home? The police came by this afternoon. All right, thank you. Lin Shanchu returned to the car. Li MO saw that she looked a little down, so he quickly said, Maybe hell be back tomorrow. At this moment, Lin Shanchu finally remembered that she had a system. There was no movement from the system these days. Could it be dead? Are you still alive, idiot? Lin Shanchu asked. Soon, the mechanical voice of the system sounded in her mind. [The system is upgrading. It can only be used normally after the upgrade ispleted.] Lin Shanchu was speechless. As expected, she shouldnt have had high hopes for this stupid system. Where are you staying tonight, Ms. Lin? Li MO asked. Lin Shanchu turned to look out the window. It was alreadyte. Big Brothers house is quite close to here Li MO suggested considerately. The training camp was quite far away, and she still had to look for Qi Cheng tomorrow. It would be a waste of time to return to the training camp. Thats a little inappropriate, isnt it? Lin Shanchu was tempted by the offer. Whats the big deal? Big Brothers house is your house I mean, were all friends here Li MO tried to exin.. Chapter 117 - 117: Message Sent, but Rejected by the Other Party Chapter 117: Message Sent, but Rejected by the Other Party Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Li MO felt that he couldnt exin everything clearly. Why dont I give Big Brother a call? He finally decided. As soon as he finished speaking, a new message notification sounded in the car. Lin Shanchus phone showed a new message. The senders number was also very unfamiliar. But Lin Shanchu felt that the phone number looked familiar as if she had seen it somewhere before. Suddenly, an idea shed through her mind. Wasnt this Huo Xunzhous phone number? She had seen it when she was helping Li MO answer the phone. Lin Shanchu wrote a long message, but she deleted everything in the end and sent a punctuation mark instead. Lin Shanchu wrote, [?] Huo Xunzhou replied, [The password to my house.] The password to his house? Was he inviting her to stay at his house? Thest time she burned down Lu Shiyuans house, he only agreed to take her in because she begged him the whole time. This time, he was actually so proactive. Lin Shanchu asked, [Huo Xunzhou?] Huo Xunzhou replied, [Yeah.] Lin Shanchu said, [Thank you.] Huo Xunzhou stated, [Im boarding.] Lin Shanchu answered, [Have a safe journey.] Huo Xunzhou replied, [Okay.] Lin Shanchu briefly browsed through their information. In just a few short sentences, there were two short words that indicated okay. When this man was in the mood, he would be very bored and childish. Usually, he was a man of few words if he could help it. The car happened to pass by an intersection. While waiting for the green light, Li MO took out his phone and called Huo Xunzhou. Then, he muttered softly, Why did he turn off his phone? Lin Shanchu reminded him subconsciously, Hes boarded his ne. How did you know that? Li MO asked in puzzlement. We just texted each other. Lin Shanchu rubbed her nose, feeling a little embarrassed. Oh. Why arent you guys chatting on WeChat? Li MO nodded. We didnt add each other on WeChat. Huh? Li MO looked confused and disappointed. Big Brother and Ms. Lin were already quite close, yet they hadnt even added each other on WeChat! The progress was too slow! Li Mos disappointment was too genuine, causing Lin Shanchu to feel like she had let him down. Ill add him now. Lin Shanchu searched for Huo Xunzhous number and added him as a friend on WeChat right in front of Li Mo. Li MO was satisfied. Ms. Lin took the initiative to add Big Brother on WeChat. He would definitely be happy. Today, Li MO still yed the role of Huo Xunzhous considerate subordinate. The next morning. The first thing Lin Shanchu did when she woke up was to check her WeChat. There was no message on WeChat saying that Huo Xunzhou had epted her friend request. Why hadnt Huo Xunzhou epted her friend request? Wait, why was she looking forward to it? Lin Shanchu grabbed her hair in frustration before getting out of bed to wash up. Li MO missed Lin Shanchus cooking. He had ordered groceries online when he came backst night. Thinking that Li MO had been following her around for the whole day, Lin Shanchu made two simple dishes. Li MO enjoyed the meal so much he was close to licking his te clean. There were still some ingredients left for breakfast. Just as breakfast was ready, Li MO returned from the outside. Good morning, Ms. Lin! Li MO ran into the kitchen and stared at the breakfast that was just served. Lin Shanchu handed him a loaded te. Li MO was very touched and bowed to Lin Shan Chu on the spot. Thank you, Sister-inw. The air suddenly fell silent. I didnt sleep well, so Im a little talkative today. Lin Shanchu was speechless. While eating breakfast, Lin Shanchu scrolled through Weibo to see what was going on. Lu Shiyuans incident was still very popr. Jing Mings fans were still active. Lin Shanchu couldnt let things end this easily. She had to find Qi Cheng today. From what Jing Mings fans said, it was not difficult to tell that Jing Ming and Qi Cheng had a very good rtionship back then. Therefore, Qi Cheng must have known something about Jing Mings death. Perhaps Qi Cheng had solid evidence that could prove Lu Shiyuans involvement in Jing Mings death. Li MO, on the other hand, was secretly taking pictures and sending them to Huo Xunzhou. He said, [Big Brother, Ms. Lin made breakfast.] He then continued, [Ms. Lins cooking still tastes great.] Then, he started to send Huo Xunzhou pictures of his breakfast. Last night, he also took a picture of his dinner and sent it to Huo Xunzhou. However, Huo Xunzhou didnt reply. Li MO had no idea what his big brother was busy with. He took three breakfast pictures. Once he was done sending the first picture, a red exmation mark appeared at the end of the second picture when he tried to send it. There was also a line of small words that said, [The message has been sent, but the other party has rejected it.] Li MO scratched his head and asked Lin Shanchu, Miss Lin, I sent a WeChat message to someone. It said, The message has been sent, but the other party rejected it. What does that mean? The other party blocked you. Lin Shanchu didnt even raise her head. Lin Shanchu logged out of Weibo and opened WeChat to see that Huo Xunzhou had epted her friend request. A hint of a smile unconsciously shed across her eyes. She opened the chatbox between the two of them, tapped her finger on the screen twice, and exited the app. Adding Huo Xunzhou as a friend didnt mean that she had to start a conversation with him. Besides If they had to talk about something, why didnt Huo Xunzhou take the initiative to send her a message? Lin Shanchu exited WeChat and ced her phone on the table. Meanwhile, Huo Xunzhou was still staring at his phone. To be more precise, he was staring at Lin Shanchus WeChat chatbox. Just now, it clearly showed that the other party was typing. However, he had waited for a long time, but there were still no messages from Lin Shanchu. On the other hand, Li MO had sent him Lin Shanchus cookingst night and this morning. Heh. He was annoyed by Li Mos pictures. Therefore, he cklisted him. Just as Huo Xunzhou was thinking of sending a message to Lin Shanchu, his bodyguard walked over. Mr. Huo, the car is ready. We can set off now, he said respectfully. Li MO drove Lin Shanchu out of Huo Xunzhous house. She went straight to Qi Chengs house. Not long after he started driving, Li Mos expression changed slightly. Ms. Lin, sit tight. Lin Shanchu grabbed the armrest and braced herself. Seeing that Li MO kept looking in the rearview mirror, Lin Shanchu asked, someone following us? Yes. Li MO continued in aforting tone, But Ill be able to get rid of him soon. Dont worry, Ms. Lin. Lin Shanchu smiled. She believed in Li Mos ability. However, who could be following her? Lu Shiyuan was still at the police station. If there was no conclusive evidence, Lu Shiyuan would have to be detained for at least 24 hours before he coulde out. Therefore, it was definitely not Lu Shiyuan. Could it be Tang Qidai? That was not right either. Tang Qidai wasnt that capable. Besides, Tang Qidai had no idea where Huo Xunzhou lived. Even if Tang Qidai knew where he lived, she didnt know that Lin Shanchu was staying with him. Who could it be? Dont shake them off. Drive to a ce with fewer people. She wanted to see who was following her right now. Li MO immediately understood what Lin Shanchu meant. He drove the car to a less crowded area withplicated road conditions. The car followed closely behind them. Soon, it caught up to them.. Chapter 118 - 118: The Truth Chapter 118: The Truth Li MO led the car into a narrow road. When the car drove in, he turned around his car and blocked the cars path. They were being followed by a very inconspicuous old ck car. The ck car was stuck in the corner and could not move forward or backward. It could only stop. Li MO and Lin Shanchu got off the car together. Get out. Li MO walked over and knocked on the window. There was no movementing from the person in the car. Li MO was impatient. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward. At this moment, the car door was opened by someone inside. A thin man got out of the car. His hair was a little long, and the ends of his hair almost covered his eyes. The ck stubble on his chin made him look a little depressing. Who are you? Why are you following us? Li MO asked loudly. The man did not answer Li Mos question. Instead, he looked at Lin Shan Chu. Youre Qi Cheng. Lin Shanchus clear eyes narrowed. Li MO sized up Qi Cheng in surprise. Lin Shanchu had shown him Qi Chengs picture before. He really couldnt associate this disheveled man in front of him with the high-spirited Qi Cheng in the picture. Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchus face in a daze. After a while, he nodded slowly. Since youre here, lets find a ce to sit down and chat. Qi Cheng still shook his head. Seeing this, Li MO frowned and was about to step forward. People like Qi Cheng who didnt cooperate even when they came to their doorstep would be obedient after a beating. Lin Shanchu sensed what Li MO was about to do and reached out to stop him. She shot him a calm look. He wants to talk to me in private. After saying that, Lin Shanchu got into Qi Chengs car. Li MO was speechless. Qi Cheng did not say a word the entire time. How did Ms. Lin know that he wanted to talk to her alone? Qi Cheng followed Lin Shanchu into the car. The car door closed and the window was shut tightly. The people outside could not hear what the people in the car were saying. Li MO craned his neck and looked through the windshield. He could only see Lin Shanchu and Qi Cheng sitting side by side. He couldnt see their expressions clearly, let alone hear their voices. Meanwhile, inside thepartment. Is Jing Mings death rted to Lu Shiyuan? Lin Shanchu asked straightforwardly. What do you think? Qi Chengs pupils shook a little. Lin Shanchus eyes twitched slightly, and her aura became fierce. Qi Cheng, did youe to look for me just to y mind games with me? You are Lu Shiyuans fiance. Im not sure if I can trust you. Lin Shanchuughed. Her smile was as gentle as that of a youngdy from a wealthy family. However, the next second, what she said made Qi Chengs expression change drastically. Do you think that Jing Mings suicide back then had anything to do with your indecisiveness and indifference? Qi Chengs face turned pale. His entire body started to tremble violently as if he was stabbed in the jugr. His eyes were filled with regret and pain. Qi Cheng really knew something. Feeling a little excited, Lin Shanchu reached out to grab Qi Chengs arm. You used to be close to Jing Ming, so you must know the truth! Do you have any evidence that can prove that Lu Shiyuan is rted to Jing Mings death? Qi Chengs expression was painful and dull. Lin Shanchu snapped, Speak up, Qi Cheng! If you didnt do anything to help Jing Ming out back then, now is your chance to make up for your mistake! If you miss this opportunity, you can only watch Lu Shiyuan get away with it once and for all! Qi Cheng seemed to have been persuaded by Lin Shanchu. He struggled to move his lips. I He only said one word, but he looked like he couldnt continue speaking anymore. Instead, he took out his phone and handed it to Lin Shanchu. There are two videos here. Take a look for yourself. The first video was obviously secretly recorded. The camera shook violently, but the conversation between the man and woman in the video was unusually clear. Brother Shiyuan, do I have no hope of getting the female lead of Cold Hut? Dont worry, Ill think of a way. I really envy Jing Ming. I heard that the director of Cold Hut really likes him.. At this point, the camera swept to the womans face. It was Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu had already recognized Tang Qidais voice from the start. The camera only captured Tang Qidais face to confirm that the person who spoke was indeed her. However Is this rted to Tang Qidai? Lin Shanchu asked Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng pursed his lips tightly without saying anything. He gestured for her to continue watching. The video was very short and ended there. Lin Shanchu continued watching the second video. The second video was in a private room. There were leftovers on the table, and the background was noisy. Jing Ming is already drunk. We still have work tomorrow, so Ill take him home first. The one who spoke was Qi Cheng. Another drunken male voice said, How is he already drunk? I think Jing Ming is still very sober. Lets continue this party in another KTV. The camera swept across the man who spoke. It was a middle-aged man with a big belly. His hands kept roaming up and down Jing Mings body, who was clearly disoriented and in a haze. Jing Ming was so drunk that he could barely stand. His voice was filled with uneasiness. Brother Qi Qi Cheng, go back first. It was Lu Shiyuans voice. President Lu Qi Cheng sounded a little flustered. lnen, a bodyguard walked m. He escorted Qi Cheng out of the room. When Qi Cheng was escorted to the door, the directors final sentences came from the room. President Lu, dont worry. The female lead of Cold Hut Bam! His unfinished words were silenced by the closed door. The video ended here. Lin Shanchu clutched the phone. After a long silence, she turned to look at Qi Cheng. Lu Shiyuan sold Jing Ming to the director of Cold Hut in exchange for Tang Qidais resources, right? she asked. Qi Cheng nodded. Lin Shanchu sneered. Lu Shiyuan had always been very capable. She knew that the whole time. However, she did not expect that after Lu Shiyuan took over the Lu Corporation, he would still do such a disgusting thing. When Jing Ming signed the contract with thepany, even the social activities he had to attend were included in the contract. Jing Ming has always been very cooperative and worked hard to improve himself Qi Cheng seemed to be unable to continue. His eyes started bing red. Actually, this kind of thing is not umon in the entertainment industry. After the incident, Jing Ming was depressed for a period of time. Lu Shiyuan also talked to him privately before he joined the production crew of Cold Hut. Tang Qidais acting skills were terrible, so the filming of Cold Hut didnt go well. Thepany also arranged for me to take care of a neer, so I didnt have much time to care about Jing Ming It was until one day when Jing Ming left the production crew to look for me. He told me that Lu Shiyuan had used him in exchange for Tang Qidais resources. He thought that I didnt know about it, and even said that he wanted to cancel the contract with the Lu Corporation.. Qi Cheng hugged his head in pain. His voice started choking up, and his voice was so hoarse that he could barely squeeze out a sound. The oue was obvious. But you didnt help him. Lin Shanchu looked at Qi Cheng coldly.. Chapter 119 - 119: The Last Straw That Crushed Lu Shiyuan Chapter 119: The Last Straw That Crushed Lu Shiyuan Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Qi Cheng pped his head harshly. Why didnt I help him back then? Why didnt I help him If I had helped him, he might not have died. Not only did I not help him, I even advised him to forget it. I even told him that such things are inevitable in the entertainment industry. He even remembered Jing Mings disappointed and incredulous eyes. Jing Ming had said that its precisely because weve been taking steps back and reducing our bottom line time and time again that those in power are so arrogant. He originally wanted to just let it go. After all, he already got the male lead role in Cold Hut. But in the end, he was just a tool for Lu Shiyuan to exchange resources for Tang Qidai. Jing Ming called Lu Shiyuan a devil who doesnt treat his employees like humans Qi Cheng calmed down when he recalled this. At that time, I thought that Jing Mings thoughts were too extreme. I told him to rest first and calm down before our next conversation. Unfortunately Qi Cheng paused at that moment. Lin Shanchu helped him finish his sentence. Its a pity that you wont have the chance to chat anymore. The night before hemitted suicide, he called me. He said that he couldnt just watch Lu Shiyuan get away with it. He had to do something After that, he died. Lin Shanchu was silent for a while. The surveince footage that was released online was the night before Jing Mingmitted suicide. That means that Jing Ming met Lu Shiyuan thest time he called you. Qi Cheng nodded. Yes, Lu Shiyuan must have made an outrageous request to him that day. Thats why he decided to take his life. No. Lin Shanchu shook her head. What do you mean? The surveince footage showed that it was during the day, but he called you at night. You mean Qi Chengs eyes widened. When Jing Ming called you, he said that he had to do something, but hemitted suicide the next day, Lin Shanchu added. She emphasized the word suicide. Someone made Jing Mingmit suicide before he could do anything, Lin Shanchu continued coldly. I always thought that Jing Ming just couldnt stand Lu Shiyuans coercion, so hemitted suicide Qi Cheng muttered. Lu Shiyuan took someones life with his hands. This was a little unexpected for Lin Shanchu. At the same time, she felt that it was within her expectations. A man like Lu Shiyuan was capable of doing anything, no matter how disgusting it was. Ill take the videos with me. Lin Shanchu opened the car door and got out. Qi Cheng also got out of the car from the other side and hurriedly followed Lin Shanchus footsteps. Lin Shanchu turned to look at him. Ill go to the police station with you, Qi Cheng exined. His gaze became much more determined than before. I thought you didnt believe me. Lin Shanchu sized him up. On the surface, she was still Lu Shiyuans fiance. She could understand why Qi Cheng didnt believe her. Ive done an in-depth analysis of what youve done recently. Youve been going against Lu Shiyuan without any exception, so Ive decided to take a gamble Qi Cheng paused and continued, When I was chatting with you just now, I realized that you have the same trait as Jing Ming. I cant tell you what exactly it is, but I believe you. The same trait as Jing Ming? She must be determined to kill Lu Shiyuan. She and Jing Ming both wanted Lu Shiyuan dead. The three of them set off for the police station. Li Mo cursed after watching the two videos on the way. Lu Shiyuan is really a f*cking b*stard! Then, he tried to salvage his image in front of his future sister-inw. Im just a little angry right now. Im usually quite civilized. Its true that Lu Shiyuan is a f*cking b*stard, Lin Shanchu replied. Her voice was gentle and soft. Whenever she was cursing, she didnt sound fierce at all, but her tone was inexplicably imposing. Qi Cheng turned to look at Lin Shanchu in shock. Youre quite straightforward, Ms. Lin. Lin Shanchu smiled and said nothing. This was nothing. If it wasnt for the fact that she could not kill Lu Shiyuan with her own hands, she would have already chopped him into pieces and fed him to the dogs. Before entering the police station, Lin Shanchu had made two copies of the videos for herself. After handing over the evidence to the police, she directly exposed them on the Inte. The evidence was irrefutable. It would be difficult for Lu Shiyuan to not get ruined. Lin Shanchu and the others entered the police station. We are here to provide evidence. Qi Cheng showed the videos on his phone to the police. The police officer took the phone. The screen suddenly turned ck. What happened? the policeman asked. Is your phone out of battery? I came out fully charged, Qi Cheng frowned. Get me a charger, the police officer called out to his partner. I have backup copies in my phone. Lin Shanchu took out her phone. Lin Shanchu showed the video on her phone to the police. The result was the same as before. The screen on her phone instantly turned ck. Both phones turned ck. This was too much of a coincidence. Everyone fell silent. At this moment, Qi Cheng said, I have it on my cloud drive too. The policeman logged into Qi Chengs cloud drive ount. He proceeded to check the entire cloud drive, but the two videos couldnt be found. The police looked at them suspiciously. Youll be detained if you interfere with the polices investigation. You know that, right? Qi Cheng turned around and whispered to Lin Shanchu, I really have them on my cloud drive. Ive saved them for several years. I even especially logged in to take a look yesterday. Lin Shanchu felt uneasy. She held onto herst trace of hope while calling out to Li Mo. Just now, to be safe, she had also sent two copies to Li Mo. Li MO quickly took out his phone. When he showed the videos to the police, his phone went ck just like before. The police had mixed feelings, but the three of them still insisted that there was evidence in the phone, so they took the phones to the technician to repair them. Soon, the results were out. The phones have been repaired, but there are no videos rted to the evidence. Li MO was also confused. It was clearly a phone that he had just bought. Why did it break down just like that? Lin Shanchu reyed everything that happened today in her mind. In a sh, she suddenly understood something. She picked up her phone and pulled out the video of Lu Shiyuan apologizing to her at the police station. She had originally nned to save this video for the critical moment and use it as thest straw to crush Lu Shiyuan. Now, she had no choice but to take it out in advance for experiments. She logged into Weibo and uploaded the video. While waiting for the video to be uploaded, Lin Shanchu felt as if seconds had turned into years. When the video was 99% uploaded, the screen of the phone suddenly changed. After that, the screen went nk. A few secondster, the screen shed and returned to Lin Shanchus Weibo homepage.. Chapter 120 - 120: Automatic Elimination of Dangerous Items Chapter 120: Automatic Elimination of Dangerous Items Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu frantically refreshed her Weibo homepage. However, no matter how hard she tried, the Weibo homepage did not show the video that she had just uploaded. Finally, Li MO realized that something was wrong with her. Ms. Lin? Why wont it appear? Lin Shanchu raised her head in confusion. Li MO felt that Lin Shanchus reaction was quite strange. What do you mean by that? he asked worriedly. Lin Shanchu didnt say anything. She closed Weibo. After that, she searched through the album, but she couldnt find Lu Shiyuans apology video anywhere. Not only did she fail to upload the post sessfully, but the video also disappeared from her album. Li MO, help me look for it. What are you looking for? The video of Lu Shiyuan apologizing to me at the police station. Lin Shanchu seemed like she had great difficulty talking right now, seeing as her voice was as hoarse and soft as a mewling cub. Li MO took the phone and carefully checked Lin Shanchus picture album. She had bought this phone before joining the training camp. Lin Shanchu didnt use her phone much, so there werent any pictures or videos in her default album. The cloud version of the album was nk too. There was nothing to look for. Li MO raised his head. Under Lin Shanchus hopeful gaze, he said truthfully, Theres nothing. Thest glimmer of light in Lin Shanchus eyes disappeared. She fell back into her chair as if she had lost all of her strength. Do you have any evidence? the police asked them. We do! Seeing that they didnt look like they were lying, the police officer replied patiently, Then show us the evidence. Qi Cheng fell silent. Why did the videos disappear into thin air when they were about to be handed over to the police? Were the videos possessed? If you really have evidence, you can send it to us at any time, the police officer continued. helplessly. Lu Shiyuan will be released today, right? Everyone looked at Lin Shanchu in unison. Her clear eyes were deep and hollow, not to mention extremely cold. The police were in charge of Lu Shiyuans case, so they naturally knew about Lin Shanchu. They recognized her the moment she came in. If there is no other evidence, Lu Shiyuan will be released in the afternoon. The policeman nced at the clock on the wall. There are only a few hours left. He thought that Lin Shanchu was worried about Lu Shiyuan. In the end, Lin Shanchu didnt say anything and turned to leave. Li MO hurriedly followed. Ms. Lin, are you thirsty? Lin Shanchu got into the car without saying a word. As the car door closed, Li MO was shocked to see Lin Shanchus ashen expression. He then took out his phone and called Huo Xunzhou. Im sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavable Big Brother had gone on a business tripst night. He was probably on the flight home now. Whats wrong, Ms. Lin? Qi Cheng also noticed that Lin Shanchus expression looked weird. Shes fine, Li MO quickly said. There was no need to tell an outsider like Qi Cheng about Ms. Lins situation. Ill go back and check if there are any backup videos. After saying that, Qi Cheng gged down a cab and left. Li MO sent Huo Xunzhou a WeChat message. [Big Brother, when are youing back?] He continued, [We found Qi Cheng, but when we came to report the case with the video evidence in Qi Chengs hands, our phone screens turned ck and the videos disappeared. [Ms. Lin seems to have suffered a blow because of this. She seems very weird.] He told Huo Xunzhou everything in detail. This way, he would be able to see it on his phone the moment he got off the ne. Li MO returned to the car afterward. Ms. Lin, do you want to go back and rest for a while? he asked carefully. After a while, Lin Shanchu finally reacted. Were going back to the Lu Corporation. The voice was very soft and sounded bone-chilling. Li MO started the car wordlessly. There were still many reporters waiting around the Lu Corporation. Li MO bypassed the reporters and drove into the underground parking lot. Lin Shanchu had just returned to her office when a familiar mechanical voice rang in her mind. [Ding! System upgrade isplete!] [Unresponsive message detected in the chat history.] [Host, did you call me?] After the upgrade, the system sounded more mature than before. Why did those videos suddenly disappear? The system replied, [I have detected the reason for the hosts violent emotional fluctuations. It was caused by the disappearance of Lu Shiyuans crime evidence.] It continued, [Lu Shiyuan is under the protection of the male leads halo. When the male lead is in great danger, the emergency defense mechanism will be activated, and the dangerous items will be automatically erased.] The damn male lead halo again, huh! Arent I the biggest threat to him in this world? Lin Shanchuughed coldly. Why didnt you erase me as well? Lin Shanchu was about to go crazy from the rage she was feeling. She raised her hand and swept everything on the table to the ground. The evidence was irrefutable. She was only one step away. To think that a scumbag like Lu Shiyuan was actually protected by the male leads halo! The so-called fairness and justice didnt exist at all! The hammer that Lin Shanchu had used to smash the door yesterday was still sitting in the corner. She stood up and walked over. Then, she picked up the hammer and started smashing everything in the office. Zhou Yan rushed over when he heard the sounds. Ms. Lin! Zhou Yan tried to stop her. Get lost! Lin Shanchu kicked him away. Refusing to give up, Zhou Yan attempted to approach her. Oh? Lin Shanchu sneered. So, even Lu Shiyuans mutt dares to interfere in my business now? Ms. Lin, please mind your words. Zhou Yans expression changed. Did you think Ive wronged you? Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and stared at him, That night, Lu Shiyuan instructed you to take Jing Ming to the Cold Hut directors room, right? Zhou Yan was Lu Shiyuans most trusted person. Naturally, he was involved in all the shady dealings that Lu Shiyuan had done. Zhou Yan wasnt innocent at all. No one was innocent! Zhou Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Shanchu. There are certain things you cant say at a whim, Ms. Lin! I cant say certain things at a whim? I dont even want to live anymore! What else cant I say? Lin Shanchuughed out loud. Bang! Lin Shanchu threw down the hammer in her hand. She picked up her phone and ran to the rooftop. Just as she left, Li MO came back after answering the call. Zhou Yan was the only one left in the messy office. Where did Ms. Lin go? Li Mos expression changed immediately. Zhou Yan finally recovered from what Lin Shanchu said just now. I dont know. Lin Shanchu suddenly ran out. How would he know where she went? Li MO naturally did not believe Zhou Yans words. He huffed coldly before turning around to leave. As he walked, he called Huo Xunzhou on the phone. Big Brother, Ms. Lin is missing. Im going to the surveince room to investigate the situation now. He had gone out just now to answer Huo Xunzhous call. Is her phone in the office? Huo Xunzhou asked in a deep voice.. Chapter 121 - 121: Only Sinful People Can Become the Leads Chapter 121: Only Sinful People Can Be the Leads Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Li MO had just walked out of the office when he heard Huo Xunzhous call and turned back. My phone isnt in the office. He looked around. Get the secretary to call the front desk and ask if Lin Shanchu has left thepany. If she hasnt Huo Xunzhou suddenly fell silent. What should we do if she didnt leave thepany? Go to the rooftop. Huo Xunzhous voice was slightly hoarse. Understood. Li MO was startled. Li MO went to the secretarys office and asked the secretary to call the front desk. Hello, this is the secretarys office. Did you see President Lin leave thepany? The voice of the receptionist came from the phone that had the speaker mode turned on. I didnt see President Lin leave thepany just now. All right, thank you. The secretary hung up and asked Li MO worriedly, President Lin What happened to her? They had all heard themotion when Lin Shanchu smashed the office. Everyone had seen Lin Shanchus ruthless manner when she smashed the door yesterday. That was why no one dared to ask her what was wrong after hearing her smashing the office. She didnt take her Dhone with her. I need to talk to her about something. Li MO brushed it off with a few words and turned to walk toward the stairs. Huo Xunzhou didnt hang up the whole time. Li MO entered the emergency door at the stairwell before telling Huo Xunzhou, Big Brother, Ill go to the rooftop now. The rooftop was located right above the current level. Li MO was tall and had long legs. He walked quickly and soon arrived at the entrance of the rooftop. He reached out to push the door, only to find that it was locked from the inside. Is the door locked? Huo Xunzhou heard Li MO pushing the door open. The door is locked. Ms. Lin must be inside. Big Brother was always good at making predictions. If it wasnt for the urgency of the situation, he would have asked Huo Xunzhou how he had guessed that Ms. Lin was on the rooftop. Ms. Lin! Li MO kicked the door while shouting. There was no response from the rooftop. The door was very sturdy. Li MO used all his strength to kick the door, but there was no movement. He needed to use the tools. Big Brother, when are youing? Should we call the police? Li MO was starting to be anxious. Ms. Lins usual style of doing things was undiscernable. Even if she had something on her mind, she would not say anything. What if she really took things too hard and chose to jump off the building? His big brother wouldnt be able to find such a bewitching wife who was excellent at cooking! It was so hard to find someone like that in this world. Dont call the police. Hurried footsteps and breathing could be heard from Huo Xunzhous end. It was as if he was running. Ill go to the office to get a hammer. Fortunately, Miss Lin had bought a hammer yesterday. It should be able to break the door open. Ill bring it here. Huh? Li MO did not react for a moment. By the time he reacted, Huo Xunzhou had already hung up. At the same time. In the office area on each floor of the Lu Corporation, the employees were working seriously as usual. Suddenly. Bam! The entirepany went out of power in an instant. All the powered equipment stopped working in an instant. The corridor was pitch ck. Zhou Yan stood at the elevator and was about to take the elevator downstairs so that he could pick up Lu Shiyuan at the police station. There was a sudden ckout, so the elevator stopped working. Zhou Yan turned on his phone and looked at the time. There was not much time left. Zhou Yan could only turn around and walk toward the stairwell. He knew that he did not have much time left. Hence, he pushed open the door of the emergency exit and quickly ran downstairs. Therefore, he did not notice a tall figure standing behind the door. Huo Xunzhou nced in the direction where Zhou Yan had left. He reached out and pressed the brim of his cap down before pushing the door open and entering. Zhou Yan, who had already run down, stopped in his tracks as if he just sensed something. He turned back, opened the door of the emergency exit, and looked around. After making sure that no one was there, he left with a suspicious expression. It was strange. Just now, he clearly felt that someone was observing him from the shadows. On the rooftop. Lin Shanchu leaned against the railing and bent over to look down. There was an endless stream of cars on the road. There were many buildings and clusters of trees in the distance. The sun was scorching above her head. This world was so vast. But it was so absurd. The one filled with sins became the main character. People who wanted to live with dignity were trampled on instead. There was no justice in this world. Human dignity was not even worth mentioning. Your faith will be destroyed. Even if you go through hardships and thorns, you cant reach the other side. You dont even deserve to be yourself. Youre just a marite. Lin Shanchu slowly stood up and climbed up the railing. The wind on the roof was strong. Her dress fluttered in the wind. The concrete railing was narrow, but it was wide enough to fit her feet. She slowly raised a foot and extended it forward. Once she missed this step Could it end the pain? [Level 1 alert! The hosts intention tomit suicide has been detected! [When the hosts intention tomit suicide reaches 99%, the system will forcefully intervene! [The hosts current intention tomit suicide is 9%!] Lin Shanchu sneered while retracting her foot. The system would not let her die. She did expect it to happen. She didnt even deserve to die. But Jing Ming was dead. Innocent people were sacrificed just to be stepping stones on the main leads path of evil. If one must be sinful in order to be the main lead Why couldnt it be her? [Special alert! The hosts intention to be evil has reached 60%! The level is rising to 61%, 62% 100%! Bang!] There was a sound that sounded like an explosion. The system finally quieted down. But soon, its voice sounded again. [The hosts evil meter is off the charts. The measuring instrument has exploded!] Then, there was another loud bang. Thud! Did the stupid system explode again? The system sensed Lin Shanchus thoughts. Someones knocking on the door. Another thud sounded soon after. Lin Shanchu looked in the direction of the voice. Someone smashed the rooftop door open violently. A tall man pushed the door open and entered. The midday sun was so scorching that she couldnt open her eyes. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes, unable to see the mans face clearly. He walked toward her under the bright sunlight, which made him look even more dazzling than the sunlight itself. Lin Shanchu. Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Shanchu raised her hand to block the sunlight, allowing her to see the mans face. Huo Xunzhou took off his mask and cap, revealing his handsome face. His beautiful and alluring eyes sparkled under the sunlight. Lin Shanchu folded her hands behind her back and looked down at Huo Xunzhou. His face was really impable. No matter which angle she looked at it from, it was exceptionally handsome and wless. Come down. Huo Xunzhou reached out to her. Lin Shanchu acted as if she didnt hear him and replied with a smile, Youre back from your business trip so soon. Come down. Huo Xunzhou repeated, his maic voice growing a little deeper. Why arent you in a wheelchair? Lin Shanchu tried to change the subject, refusing toe down from her spot at all. Huo Xunzhou stared at her. Suddenly, he stated, Stop smiling. The look in his eyes made Lin Shanchus smile disappear. Huo Xunzhou clearly didnt know what she had experienced. However, he could always see through her at a nce.. Chapter 122 - 122: I Caught You Chapter 122: I Caught You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Li MO peeked out from behind the door, looking a little nervous. When the door was kicked open, he saw Ms. Lin standing on the railing. She looked like she was about to jump off the building at any moment. He was not as smart and talkative as his big brother, so he remained where he was to guard the door instead of approaching her. Due to the distance, he couldnt hear what Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were saying. The sight of Lin Shanchus expression made Li MO feel that the situation wasnt looking good. However, there would definitely not be any problems once Big Brother made his move. Li MO retracted his gaze and continued to be a gatekeeper obediently. Meanwhile, Huo Xunzhous expression was still cold and distant. His face would not show any obvious expressions that reflected his emotions. At this moment, his face was unusually serious. Are you afraid that I will jump off the building? Lin Shanchu asked. You wont, Huo Xunzhou said confidently. Do you think that youre very powerful? Do you think that everything is under your control? Do you think that everything will go as you wish? Lin Shanchu sneered. She really envied Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou always got what he wanted. She just wanted to live like a normal person, but she couldnt. She was so envious that she was starting to be jealous. But he was such a kind man. He was so smart. He even lent her a helping hand. However, he was not the main character of this world. The so-called special role was just a supporting role to add icing on the cake for the main character. Lu Shiyuan wasnt worthy of Huo Xunzhous help! No. Huo Xunzhous voice was a little lower than before, revealing a trace of nervousness he couldnt hide. Lin Shanchu smiled at him. No, you will definitely get what you want. She gave him her blessings with a smile on her face. She sounded like she was leaving her final words behind. Huo Xunzhous expression changed. His body reacted unexpectedly quickly. He was only two steps away from Lin Shanchu. The moment he raised his foot, Lin Shanchu smiled and leaned backward. The expected sense of weightlessness did note. Lin Shanchu looked up. Huo Xunzhou had one hand on the railing while the other hand gripped her tightly. Youre really afraid that Ill jump off the building. Lin Shanchuughed. For some reason, her casual tone angered Huo Xunzhou. You wont jump down! He raised his voice, which was rare. It was also filled with anger. But Ive already jumped. Lin Shanchu tilted her head in confusion. I caught you. The extreme reaction just now made Huo Xunzhou pant a little, Dut ms tone was unusually nrm. It was as if no matter what happened, he would never let go of her hand. The sound of the wind on the rooftop and the noise of the city disappeared in an instant. The entire world was silent. Only Huo Xunzhous voice could be heard. Lin Shanchu stared at him nkly. Give me your other hand too. Lin Shanchu seemed to be under a spell as she raised her other hand and stretched it toward Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand and pulled her up. Lin Shanchu climbed up the railing again, feeling exhausted. Huo Xunzhou held her waist with both hands, his expression still grim. Come down. Ill catch you. Lin Shanchu jumped. The moment shended, she ended up copsing into Huo Xunzhou. She heard Huo Xunzhou heave a sigh of relief. Li MO, who was observing the situation from time to time by the door, turned his head and saw the two of them hugging each other. As the biggest fan of Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus rtionship, he couldnt miss out on any moment of their intimacy. Li MO took out his phone and started taking pictures of the two of them. He didnt forget to share them with Nan Mu once he was done. Nan Mu replied immediately after seeing the pictures. Nan Mu: [Where are they?] Nan Mu: [Arent these two being a little too outrageous? Arent they worried about getting their pictures taken? The scandal of a girl groups potential member who has a fianc having an affair with a retired movie star is quite exciting.] Li Mo: [What a good speech. Dont bring it up ever again.] Lin Shanchu leaned on Huo Xunzhous shoulder at that moment. She was very conscious of the arm that was wrapped around her waist. So, when was Huo Xunzhou going to let her go? But she was too embarrassed to ask. She didnt n on dying just now. However, when she saw Huo Xunzhou, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was no point in living. The more she thought about it, the more jealous she became of Huo Xunzhou. Therefore, when Huo Xunzhou said that she wouldnt jump, she was so emotional that she jumped off the building right away. The recollection made her feel slightly awl?vard. Huo Xunzhou seemed to have sensed what she was thinking, seeing as he released her at that moment. Their eyes met, and Huo Xunzhou spoke first. Arent you going to thank me this time? I thought you dont ept verbal gratitude, Lin Shanchu replied. Huo Xunzhou didnt Imow what to say. He looked at the railing that was just a few feet away. Then, he pulled Lin Shanchu toward the stairwell. This was not the ce to talk. Lin Shanchu followed behind Huo Xunzhou obediently. Huo Xunzhou continued to pull her with one hand while sending a message on his phone with the other before putting it back into his pocket. At this moment, the systems voice sounded in Lin Shanchus mind. [Congrattions to the host forpleting the daily task of getting close to Huo Xunzhou. Theres a limited- time promotion right now to celebrate the systems upgrade. The host can choose between a health restoration card and a hint card.] An ongoing limited-time promotion? Another hint card? After this useless system was upgraded, it became more shy. Ill have the hint card. Lin Shanchu chose the second option without hesitation. She wanted to see what tricks the useless system had up its sleeve. The system replied, [I will now broadcast the contents of the hint card to the host. [Zong Peis current girlfriend has no idea that he studied at Xu City General High seven years ago and that he had a bad reputation there.] who is zong pei? The system said, [A hotfix will be patched in the system in order to fix the problems. The system will serve the host next time.] Lin Shanchu began to suspect that she had made the wrong choice by choosing the hint card. When Li MO saw the two of theming over, he quickly went up to them. The entire building had a ckout just now. I dont know if the elevator can be used. Why is there a ckout? This was the first time Lin Shanchu heard that the Lu Corporation experienced a ckout. This had never happened before. I dont know the specific reason. Huo Xunzhou led her to the elevator without saying a word. He was very confident that the elevator would work. Lin Shanchu turned to look at him thoughtfully. The corridor was pitch ck. He could vaguely hear the noisesing from the secretarys office not far away. When they reached the elevator, Lin Shanchu realized that the elevator buttons light wasnt on. Looks like we can only take the stairs. The next second, the elevator buttons indicator light lit up. The corridor was still pitch ck. The elevator had its own power supply, so it was normal for this to happen. After entering the elevator, Lin Shanchu reminded Huo Xunzhou, Put on your mask. There were surveince cameras in the elevator. Huo Xunzhou was such a cautious person, yet he had forgotten to wear a mask. As Lin Shanchu thought about this, she looked up at the surveince camera above her. However, she realized that the indicator light of the surveince camera wasnt turned on at all.. Chapter 123 - 123: Is He Your Type? Chapter 123: Is He Your Type? The elevator went straight to the underground parking lot. As soon as the elevator door opened, a young mansints could be hearding from the inside. Theres already a ckout. Why are we still having a meeting? How annoying The young man who spoke was dressed fashionably and looked unfamiliar. He was probably a new celebrity that was recently signed by thepany. The young man turned his head and met Lin Shanchus gaze. His eyes lit up. Lin Shanchu! His gaze was fixed on Lin Shanchu. When Lin Shanchu was unhappy, the corners of her eyes would droop slightly, revealing an unhappy expression. The young man didnt seem to notice Lin Shanchus unhappiness as he continued to stare at her. President Lin! he called out with a smile. However, the manager beside him was more perceptive. President Lin, this is thepanys newly signed celebrity, Zong Pei. Zong Pei! Was that the Zong Pei mentioned in the hint? Lin Shanchu sized up Zong Pei. Zong Pei was pretty good-looking. He was as handsome as the former top celebrity of thepany, Fu Jue. Other than his manager, Zong Pei also brought two assistants with him. How could a newly-signed celebrity receive such good treatment? Moreover, Lin Shanchu had never heard of Zong Peis name before. The Lu Corporation was not a charity. There was only one reason why they gave this kind of treatment to new celebrities who were not famous. That would only happen if they nned to nurture Zong Pei to be the next Fu Jue. Lin Shanchu curled her lips and called out his name. Zong Pei, youre taking the idol route, right? Zong Pei stared at Lin Shanchu. Yes. Youre so good-looking. There must be a lot of girls who like you, right? Lin Shanchu asked with a smile. Li MO snuck a look at Huo Xunzhous expression. Huo Xunzhou was wearing his cap and mask firmly, so Li MO couldnt see his face at all. Zong Pei was so ttered by Lin Shanchus words to the point that his ego grew tremendously. Its all right, but Ill definitely focus on my career. I wont date anyone at all. I wont let you do, President Lin! Li MO nced at Zong Pei expressionlessly. He looked so tired and weak, not to mention he seemed to have bad hearing. Did Ms. Lin ever say that she had any expectations for him? Good luck, Lin Shanchu said softly and turned to leave the elevator. Zong Pei looked at Lin Shanchus back as he walked away, he couldnt bear to look away. President Lin seems to admire me a lot, he said with a devilish smile as he stroked his chin. The manager didnt hesitate to burst his bubble. Its useless for President Lin to admire you. President Lu has to be the one to admire you. Youre so annoying. Zong Peis face fell when he heard that. Just the thought of Lin Shanchu talking to him with a smile on his face made his heart yearn for more. If only Lin Shanchu wasnt Lu Shiyuans fiance. Otherwise, he could still lure her into his embrace and toy with her feelings. Lin Shanchu and the others walked to the car. Out of habit, Li MO went to help Huo Xunzhou open the backseat door. But Huo Xunzhou was faster than him. Huo Xunzhou opened the car door and looked at Lin Shanchu expressionlessly, gesturing for her to get in. His actions were very considerate. But his expression was scary. It was as if Lin Shanchu owed him a lot of money. After getting into the car, Huo Xunzhou pulled down his cap to cover his face. He looked like he didnt want to talk to anyone. Previously on the rooftop, he still had a determined look on his face while refusing to let her go. Now, he was ignoring her. Ha! Men! Lin Shanchu turned to look out the window. She was thinking about what to do next. She wouldnt die. Life had to go on. Since she could not kill Lu Shiyuan directly, she would start with the people around him. If the systems hint was true and effective, then Fu Jues today would be Zong Peis future. However, an entertainmentpany that had lost its ability to create stars had no future. Is he your type? Huo Xunzhous sudden question pulled Lin Shanchu back to reality. Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment before finally reacting. Are you talking about Zong Pei? Huo Xunzhou snorted coldly. It turned out that he was ignoring her because of this She was just testing Zong Pei. Zong Pei isnt even as good-looking as Li Mo. Lin Shanchu blinked. Even though he was a fearsome man, Li MO still felt a little shy after being praised. Really? Yeah. Lin Shanchu nodded seriously. Li MO was happy. Huo Xunzhou pulled his cap even lower. Li MO drove all the way back to Huo Xunzhous house. Huo Xunzhou had gone straight to the Lu Corporation after returning from the airport earlier. His bodyguard was the one who delivered the luggage home. It was still sitting in the garage. Li MO went to the garage to grab Huo Xunzhous luggage. Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu walked into the vi one after the other. As they walked, Lin Shanchu realized that Huo Xunzhou, who was walking in front of her, was now walking beside her. He held the cap and mask that he had just taken off in his hands. His expression was cold, but his footsteps were very slow. It was obvious that he did it to match her pace. Lin Shanchu lowered her head and smiled. When she looked up again, she asked him seriously, Where did you go for your business trip? In the mountains. Lin Shanchu was speechless. This answer was somewhat perfunctory. Lin Shanchu decided to change the topic. Didnt you say that you would bring me a gift? Wheres the gift? In the car. Lin Shanchus eyes widened. He really brought her something! Huo Xunzhou stopped, his eyes unusually serious. You dont believe me? When his alluring eyes were focused on a person, he always seemed unusually affectionate. Who could withstand this look? Im so hungry. Lin Shanchu averted her eyes. Itste now. Its already toote to cook. I suppose noodles are the only thing I can eat at this hour Lin Shanchu continued talking to herself as she walked into the vi. Huo Xunzhou stood there for a moment before slowly following her. When Li MO came back with the luggage, Nan Mu could be seen following behind him. Is Lin Shanchu cooking? Nan Mu sniffed loudly and ran inside. It smells so good! Li MO was also starving. But he had to put Huo Xunzhous luggage upstairs first. In the kitchen. Lin Shanchu was stirfrying beef while Huo Xunzhou was washing some vegetables. The two of them stood with their backs to each other. They did not look at each other ormunicate. However, the atmosphere was unbelievably cozy. Nan Mu ran all the way to the kitchen door and saw this scene. It was so cozy that he didnt want to disturb them out of embarrassment. When Li MO came over, Nan Mu made a shushing gesture at him. He whispered to him, Look at them.. Li MO looked at it for a while and seemed to understand something. This should be the daily life of Big Brother and Sister-inw after marriage. Nan Mu was unhappy. That wont do. Thepanys lucky charm cant get married this early. He was still waiting for Lin Shanchu to be famous! Whats wrong with getting married? Li MO was also unhappy. Is my big brother more important or is the lucky charm more important? The two of them started arguing. Get out if you want to argue! Huo Xunzhous words silenced Li MO and Nan Mu. Although he was still holding a spat in his hand, it did not affect his intimidating aura at all. Lets not argue anymore. Nan Mu rubbed his belly and said weakly, I havent eaten yet either Chapter 124 - 124: Meaningful Gifts Chapter 124: Meaningful Gifts Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After dinner, Nan Mu and Li MO cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes without getting prompted. Huo Xunzhou stood up. Follow me. Lin Shanchu followed Huo Xunzhou upstairs. When Huo Xunzhou passed by the study, he stopped in his tracks. Wait for me in the study. Lin Shanchu stepped into the study room for a second before leaving the room. She peeked in the direction Huo Xunzhou had left. Then, she saw Huo Xunzhou enter the bedroom. Was he going to the bedroom to get the gift he had brought for her? Lin Shanchu hadnt received a gift for many years, so she was looking forward to it. She returned to the study. Huo Xunzhous study room was decorated in a simr style to the vi. There were books, a desk, a chair, and a couch. Other than that, there was nothing else. It was minimalistic and simple. It was as if he was ready to leave at any moment. Lin Shanchu stood in front of the bookshelf and looked at the titles. She realized that many of the books were still sealed. The door opened behind her. Huo Xunzhou entered the study with a brown handbag that had a simple design. As he approached, Lin Shanchu could smell the fragrance. Its incense. Lin Shanchu sniffed carefully. What incense? Huo Xunzhou asked. Hearing this, Lin Shanchu reached out to grab the handbag. Huo Xunzhou raised his arm and held the handbag high. There was a height difference between the two of them. Lin Shanchu couldnt reach the handbag even after standing on her tiptoes. What are you doing? How am I supposed to guess if I cant smell it carefully? Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth. Ill give it to you if you guess it right, Huo Xunzhou said, unmoved. You How could there be a gift that could only be given if one guessed correctly? I dont want it anymore! Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. She turned around to leave. If you admit that you cant guess it, I can give it to you right away, Huo Xunzhou said casually. Lin Shanchu felt that this man was clearly provoking her. Admitting defeat was impossible! Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks and turned around. Huo Xunzhous eyes shed with a look of victory, and the smile in his eyes deepened. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and red at him. The fragrance was very faint, but it was very familiar. He must have smelled it somewhere. Huo Xunzhou had always been a cautious and orderly person. Even if it was a gift, it wouldnt be as simple as picking a random one. Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and asked, Cypress? Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes and handed the bag to Lin Shanchu. I knew it. Youre so smart, Shanshan, so youll definitely be able to guess correctly. Lin Shanchu took it with aplicated expression on her face. When her mother passed away, she was already six years old. She had some vague memories of her mothers life. Her mother was a clever person. She loved to craft and also made incense in the past. Incense could help calm people down while chasing mosquitoes away. However, what her mother often made was the cypress incense that her father liked. Cypress incense was her childhood memory. However, it had been so long that she had almost forgotten the smell. Was Huo Xunzhou giving her this because of her mother? Lin Shanchu smiled faintly, wanting to test Huo Xunzhou. Is this the only gift youve prepared for me? The raw materials of cypress incense were simple. Even the production process was simple as well. To put it bluntly, it was worthless. It may be a small gift, but its meaning is priceless, Huo Xunzhou replied, not looking angry at all. Lin Shanchu said, Well, its true that this gift is quite small I ground it myself. Huo Xunzhou suddenly interrupted her. Lin Shanchu was stunned. The final step of the handmade cypress fragrance was to grind the dried cypress into powder by hand before using it. If you dont like it, you can return it to me, Huo Xunzhou said as he reached out to take it. Theres no reason to take back something thats given out. Lin Shanchu immediately hid the handbag behind herself. Her anxious look was a little childish. Huo Xunzhou couldnt help but smile. Lin Shanchu changed the topic in frustration. I want to light some incense. Huo Xunzhou sat down at the table, took out the incense burner, and opened the incense box. His slender and beautiful fingers pinched the incense mold and took out the incense. He then ced it into the incense burner and lit it up. He was focused and serious throughout the entire process. The entire scene was extremely pleasing to the eye. When the fragrant mist started rising from the incense burner, the fragrance spread throughout the room. Mdm. Ning used to make cypress incense in May, Huo Xunzhou said slowly. Its July now. The season isnt right, so the fragrance is different. After Huo Xunzhou finished speaking, he didnt get a response from Lin Shanchu for a long time, so he looked up at her. Only then did he realize that Lin Shanchu was staring straight at him. Lin bnau, rtuo xunznou canea alter a momentary pause. Hmm? Lin Shanchu suddenly came back to her senses. She was actually entranced by the sight of Huo Xunzhou lighting the incense. Did you hear what I said? Huo Xunzhou asked. Yes. Its true that my mother liked to make cypress incense in May, Lin Shanchu said. But I think the smell is the same as when I was young. Her parents had sacrificed their lives for the Lu Corporation. Yet, Lu Shiyuan could not even remember their death anniversary. Lin Shanchus mother had treated Huo Xunzhou well for a period of time when he was young, but he remembered it until now. The difference between people was huge. Xunzhou? Nan Mus voice came from outside. Then, there was a knock on the door. Nan Mu and Li MO pushed the door open and entered. I knew you two were in the study. Nan Mu sniffed. Whats that smell? It smells good. Cypress incense. Lin Shanchu exined. Incense? Get me some too! Nan Mu strode over. Lin Shanchu silently hugged the box of incense Huo Xunzhou had given her. Huo Xunzhou gave it to me. Xunzhou Go get it from my bedroom, Huo Xunzhou said coldly. As expected of my brother! Nan Mu turned around and ran out happily. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and asked casually, Everyone has the same gift? Huo Xunzhou only gave her a half-smile. Lin Shanchu also felt that her question was a little strange. She quickly adjusted his emotions and asked as if nothing had happened, Did you really go to the mountains for a business trip? Yes. Xunzhou, this doesnt seem like incense! Nan Mu pushed the door open and entered with a jar in his arms. He put the jar on the table. Incense is supposed to be powder form, right? Why does this look like herbs? Lin Shanchu nced at it and realized that it was dried cypress leaves. She could not help but smile. Everyone did receive a gift from Huo Xunzhou. However, Huo Xunzhou had personally ground hers. Nanmu had dried cypress leaves, but he had to grind them himself. Li MO looked at Nan Mu with disdain. Grind it into powder and you can use it. Is that so? Thats right. Ill buy an incense burner to burn when the timees. Li MO looked proud. He had learned a lot from his big brother. Nan Mu was silent for two seconds before he stuffed the jar into Li MOs arms. Its too troublesome. Forget it. At this moment, Lin Shanchus phone rang. She took out her phone and her expression froze. The call was from Lu Shiyuan. It seemed like time was up. The police had no evidence and had no choice but to release Lu Shiyuan within 24 hours.. Chapter 125 - 125: Eventual Destruction Chapter 125: Eventual Destruction Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu rejected the call and silenced her phone. Although she didnt say a word, Huo Xunzhou could already guess from her expression that Lu Shiyuan was the one who called. Li MO also told him about the disappearance of the evidence at the police station. Even though he didnt know exactly what happened to Lin Shanchu, he knew that she hated Lu Shiyuan. Therefore, the disappearance of the evidence was a fatal blow to Lin Shanchu. That was why he rushed to the Lu Corporation as soon as he got off the ne. He had no way of knowing what Lin Shanchu had been thinking while she was alone on the rooftop. However, he knew very well that Lin Shanchu must have had the intention tomit suicide at one point. Fortunately, she still had the desire to live. And she only had one desire to live. That was to destroy Lu Shiyuan. Not only Huo Xunzhou, but Li MO also guessed that this call was from Lu Shiyuan. He had many questions, but he did not dare to ask. The disappearance of the evidence was particrly strange. After that, Lin Shanchu went up to the rooftop alone, apparently having suffered a huge blow from the evidences disappearance. He was afraid that he might agitate Lin Shanchu again if he were to ask her about it. Nan Mu did not know anything. However, seeing the heavy atmosphere, he did not dare to speak casually. Lin Shanchu didnt notice the tense atmosphere. Todays share market was already opened. She opened it and said with a smile, The Lu Corporations stock has crashed to its lowest limit. Her cheerful tone sounded like she was announcing something good. Nan Mu was excited when he heard that. The Lu Corporations shares have crashed so much. Should I buy some? Wouldnt I be able to make a lot of money when it rises? Huo Xunzhou looked at Nan Mu coldly. Li MO quietly kicked him and whispered, Are you stupid? He actually said that the Lu Corporations stock price would rise in front of Ms. Lin. Ms. Lin was eager for the Lu Corporation to go bankrupt. Of course, but dont hold on to it for too long, Lin Shanchu said after a light pause. Nan Mu was a smart man, so he instantly understood what Lin Shanchu was saying. How long should I wait before selling it? Lin Shanchu propped her chin and thought for a while. Before the finale of My Stage. She stood up once she was done talking. I should go. Now that Lu Shiyuan was released, she had to meet him. Li MO followed her out of the study without Huo Xunzhou ordering him. Huo Xunzhou got up and went to the balcony. Soon, Lin Shanchu and Li MO appeared in his field of vision. He watched Lin Shanchu leave before returning to his room. Nan Mu followed behind him before pping his head. I forgot about the proper business! Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him. The purpose of my visit today is to ask Lin Shanchu if shes going back to My Stage , Nan Mu quickly said. After eating some noodles while enjoying the incense, he hadpletely forgotten about the actual reason why he came here. Li MO, lets go to the Yong Water Pavilion. Arent you going to the Lu Corporation? Li MO was puzzled. Lin Shanchu had previously said that she wanted to give everyone an exnation. Now, the evidence had disappeared into thin air and Lu Shiyuan had been released. However, she still had to exin everything to the public. Therefore, logically speaking, Lin Shanchu should be heading to the Lu Corporation. Theres no rush. Lin Shanchu sounded very casual andidback. Li MO nced at Lin Shanchu in the rearview mirror, soon noticing that she was focused on typing on her phone. Her slender fingers quickly swiped across the screen. The car stopped in front of Yong Shui Pavilion. Ms. Lin. This time, the doorman recognized Lin Shanchu at a nce. He was also very respectful to her. Lin Shanchu smiled back and led Li MO into the establishment. The two of them walked away. Another doorman came over and asked the doorman who had just spoken. Ms. Lin doesnt seem to be a member of Yong Shui Pavilion. Why did you let her Things are different now. Havent you seen the recent news? Dont you know who Ms. Lin is? Ive been so busy recently, so I dont have time to keep up with the news. Miss Lin is one of the major shareholders of the Lu Corporation I see. When Lin Shanchu pushed open the door and entered the private room, the senior shareholders inside were making a ruckus. Whats wrong with thatdy? Were all here, but shes nowhere to be seen. Are we supposed to just wait for her? I told you not to believe her! You wont listen! In my opinion, that Lin woman is very strange! Why dont we leave now? Lin Shanchu strode in. Since everyone is here, lets have a cup of team before leaving. Everyone looked at the door. Lin Shanchu was wearing a ck dress today. Even though her makeup was light, she still looked quite intimidating. The rowdy shareholders instantly quieted down. They returned to their seats and looked around awkwardly. Lin Shanchu calmly smoothed out her dress before sitting down. Li MO also sat down at the side. Originally, Ms. Lin came to the Yongshui Pavilion to meet the shareholders of the Lu Corporation. Even if the evidence disappeared into thin air, Ms. Lin would definitely not let Lu Shiyuan off easily. Seeing Lin Shanchus attitude, the senior shareholders started to put on airs again. Ms. Lin, all of us have been waiting for you. Youre really shameless. Lin Shanchu ced her phone on the table and pushed it in front of the shareholder. Director Li, look at the time yourself. Director Li nced at the time and looked a little embarrassed. We agreed to meet at two oclock. Its one minute before two right now. Lin Shanchus voice was soft, but her attitude was unusually firm. She was not someone who respected the elderly and loved the young. Only good people would do that. She was no longer a good person. She wanted to be the viiness. Lin Shanchus expression turned serious as she leaned back in her chair. Since everyone is in such a hurry, they must be very interested in my n. Time is limited, so lets not talk nonsense. The shareholders were a little unhappy at first. They whispered a few words before saying, Go on. Although Lu Shiyuan has been released, his reputation is already tarnished. If hes allowed to recover the sole authority over thepany, Im afraid that itll be difficult to recover from the loss of thepanys reputation. She made a long speech, but her main point was the words recover the sole authority over thepany. It couldnt be helped. The group of old hypocrites always liked to use such excuses just to conceal their ambitions so that they appeared to be upright and righteous. The shareholders all agreed. Thats right. If we let Lu Shiyuan regain the sole authority over thepany, the Lu Corporations share price will definitely continue to fall! Thats why we have to take this opportunity to regain our power as shareholders and interfere with Lu Shiyuans future decisions. We have to let the public see our attitude so that we can regain the publics trust in the Lu Corporation. As the saying goes, no matter how long a huge dam stands, it will still crumble when the tiny cracks eventually grow big enough to weaken it from the inside. Once these arrogant old geezers began to participate in thepanys decision-making, they would empty out the Lu Corporation sooner orter.. Chapter 126 - 126: He’s Already On His Way Chapter 126: Hes Already On His Way Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion A ck car stopped at the entrance of the Lu Corporation. President Lu, were here. Zhou Yan stopped the car steadily before speaking up. Lu Shiyuan, who was resting, slowly opened his eyes. Why arent there any reporters? He looked outside. Other than the asional passersby, there were no reporters around the Lu Corporations main entrance. When he was taken away by the police yesterday, reporters equipped with cameras surrounded the entrance of the Lu Corporation. That was the most embarrassing moment of his life. All of this was thanks to Lin Shanchu! I got people to evacuate them in advance, Zhou Yan hurriedly replied. If he couldnt even do this, he wouldnt be able to retain his position as Lu Shiyuans special assistant. When Lu Shiyuan heard this, his expression softened a little. Zhou Yan got out of the car and opened the back door for Lu Shiyuan respectfully. Lu Shiyuan got out of the car and walked toward the Lu Corporation building. As he walked, he took out his phone and continued to call Lin Shanchu. After he left the police station, he had already begun calling her. Up until now, he had already made dozens of calls. But Lin Shanchu didnt answer any of the calls. Lu Shiyuan called Lin Shanchu again. The result was the same as before. No one picked up. The call was automatically hung up. The elevator doors opened at this moment. Lu Shiyuan gripped his phone tightly and walked out with a gloomy expression. He used so much force that his knuckles were starting to turn white. Zhou Yan could feel Lu Shiyuans mood worsening by the second. He just followed closely behind him, not daring to say a word. On the way back, he had already told Lu Shiyuan about Lin Shanchu wrecking the presidents office. But he knew Lu Shiyuans temper. When he saw the ruined officeter, he would probably be furious. Lu Shiyuan walked to the door of the presidents office and stopped. His gaze moved from the big hole in the office door to the mess inside. Zhou Yan watched by the side and did not even dare to breathe loudly. Just as he thought that Lu Shiyuan was going to smash his phone again, Lu Shiyuan suddenlyughed softly. Theughter grew louder and louder. President Lu Thisughter sounded particrly terrifying to the ears. Lu Shiyuan walked in as if he didnt hear him. He slowly walked around the room. It was as leisurely as taking a walk in the garden. Finally, he stopped in front of the bookshelf that had been smashed the most. Lin Shanchu moved into my house when she was six years old. We spent sixteen years together, but I didnt know that she had such a trick up her sleeve. From Lu Shivuans tone, Zhou Yan could vazuelv detect a trace of unusual excitement. Did he get too angry with her? Get someone to tidy up the office. After Lu Shiyuan finished speaking, he found a chair in the mess and sat on it after cleaning up the dust. Zhou Yan was slightly startled when he saw the situation. He immediately replied, President Lu, you can go to the lounge next door She has toe to the Lu Corporation again. Ill wait for her here. Lu Shiyuan interrupted him. The she in his words naturally referred to Lin Shanchu. Zhou Yan did not dare to say anything more either. He knew that Lu Shiyuan had been calling Lin Shanchu the whole time. Although Lin Shanchu hadnt picked up any of his calls, she still had to make a trip to the Lu Corporation. Lu Shiyuan waited and waited, but Lin Shanchu was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a flustered Zhou Yan came stumbling back. President Lu, something bad happened! Zhou Yan ran in with his phone while looking anxiously. What is it? Lu Shiyuan disliked it when his subordinates were being impatient, so he frowned slightly. Ms. Lin and the other shareholders of thepany are holding a live press conference! Zhou Yan barely finished speaking when Lu Shiyuan snatched his phone away. The press conference had obviously just started. However, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room was close to ten million. The reporters were in the midst of asking Lin Shanchu some questions. Miss Lin, you said before that you would give everyone an exnation for what happened to Jing Ming. Now that President Lu has been released by the police, do you have anything to say about that? Lin Shanchu sat in front of the podium, her expression calm and collected. The police have re-investigated Jing Mings case. Although Lu Shiyuan was released, it doesnt mean that he is not responsible for Jing Mings death. As the people in charge of the Lu Corporation, we should all be responsible for Jing Mings death. Jing Ming was a very outstanding artist. We should remember him for many years toe, be it three years or ten years. The Lu Corporation will also take this as a warning. We pay attention to the physical and mental health of our celebrities, respect and understand them, and work together with them to improve. We will set an example for the industry In the live broadcast room, other than theizens who were watching the show. Most of them were Jing Mings fans. After listening to Lin Shanchus speech, they were so touched that they startedmenting. [Its been three years. Finally, someone from the Lu Corporation has stepped forward to take responsibility.] [We have never med thepany for his death. We only want thepanys stance on this matter.] [What a joke. After three years, the Lin woman has stepped forward to clean up the mess for the Lu guyspany.] [Jing Ming worked hard for the Lu Corporation for five years before he died. After his death, thepany concluded the matter just by saying our condolences. Capitalism is really cruel.] [Lu Shiyuan is crueler than capitalism.] [Im thinking that if Lin Shanchu had been the one managing the Lu Corporation back then, Jing Ming wouldnt have died. Uwaaah] [They really broke through our defenses. This is the proper response of the Lu Corporation that weve been waiting for for the past three years.] [At this point, Lu Shiyuan, the culprit, is still hiding in his shell. He hopes that Lin Shanchu will seize power and take over thepany. Otherwise, he will harm more celebrities] In the time it took Lin Shanchu to say a few words, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had already exceeded ten million. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that his chest heaved up and down violently. Where is she? Yong Shui Pavilion. Zhou Yan already found out where Lin Shanchu was a long time ago. Lu Shiyuan got up and walked out. On the way to Yong Shui Pavilion, Lu Shiyuan had been watching Lin Shanchus live broadcast of the press conference. Lin Shanchu answered every question from the reporters. There were no mistakes. Lu Shiyuan suddenly remembered when Lin Shanchu first came to the Lu family during his childhood years. At that time, she was timid and could not sleep at night because of the slightest disturbance. She had to hold his hand in order to fall asleep. At that time, Lin Shanchu had a soft personality and was very reliant on him. She was especially likable. The Lin Shanchu now kept fighting him while forcing him into a corner. Every move was ruthless and merciless. He couldnt remember which step had gone wrong that led to todays situation. However, he was very clear about it. The soft-hearted and reliant Lin Shanchu had disappeared. Moreover, she might never return. The live broadcast continued. Why didnt Mr. Lu Shiyuane to such an asion today? The reporter asked. Hes already on his way here. Lin Shanchus expression looked a little tense. The subtle change in expression in such a situation caused everyone to start specting.. Chapter 127 - 127: Name a Price Chapter 127: Name a Price Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Lu Shiyuan was released by the police station, the dedicated paparazzi immediately released the news. Three to four hours had passed since then. Holding a press conference was not a small matter. It must be the result of a serious discussion between the board of directors of thepany. Moreover, the other shareholders were present, which meant that the press conference was the result of everyones discussion. As the president, Lu Shiyuan had not appeared for a long time. Naturally, people would think that Lu Shiyuan had a different opinion from Lin Shanchu and the other shareholders, so he did note on purpose. After all, after Jing Ming passed away three years ago, Lu Shiyuan did not make any statements as the president of thepany. The public would think that Lu Shiyuan was still arrogant and conceited. He was unwilling to take a stand on Jing Mings matter and take responsibility. Inparison, Lin Shanchu was willing to stand up and express her stance, which made her seem more responsible. No one would think that Lin Shanchu had colluded with the shareholders to set up a trap against Lu Shiyuan. They would only think that Lu Shiyuan was a cold-blooded and irresponsible capitalist. As a result, their impression of Lu Shiyuan became even worse. The reporters at the scene were still afraid of Lu Shiyuans identity, so they did not dare to ask overly sharp questions. The audience in the live broadcast room did not care about this. [Lu Shiyuan probably doesnt dare toe, right?] [The more he doesnt dare to take responsibility, the more guilty he is.] [I finally understand why his rtionship with that Tang woman is so ambiguous. Its because he and Lin Shanchu arent on the same side. Is he even worthy of being with Lin Shanchu?] [I really love a responsible person in charge like Lin Shanchu. Big Sister, you can do it!] [I hope Lin Shanchu can kick Lu Shiyuan out and snatch the Lu Corporation over.] The reporters were more tactful when it came to questions rted to Lu Shiyuan. May I know when Mr. Lu Shiyuan will arrive? It should be soon. Lin Shanchus tone was very serious, but her eyes subconsciously darted to the door, an anxious look on her face. Her expression undoubtedly confirmed everyones guess. Lu Shiyuan was so arrogant that he did not want to attend the press conference or make a statement. The audience started chastising Lu Shiyuan in the live broadcast room again. At this moment, something happened about one kilometer away from Yong Shui Pavilion. A truck collided with an expensive ck car. The car braked suddenly. Lu Shiyuans body leaned forward before crashing backward violently. He had been watching the live broadcast the entire time and was holding back his anger. At this moment, it was already on the verge of exploding. What happened? Lu Shiyuans voice was as cold as ice. Zhou Yan gazed forward. We crashed into a truck. The truck driver had already gotten out of his truck and was walking over to the car. President Lu, Ill go deal with it. Zhou Yan opened the car door and got out of the car. The hot-tempered truck driver shouted, What the hell were you doing? I should be the one asking you this! Zhou Yan said coldly. He was driving normally the whole time. T he truck driver was the one who hit him first. Are you saying that its my responsibility? The truck driver was not convinced. Lets call the police! Well let the police decide whos responsible! Zhou Yan turned his head back and took a nce at the car. Theres no need to call the police. Well settle this privately! If it was any other time, he would have just called the police. But now, President Lu was in a hurry to attend the press conference at Yong Shui Pavilion. If they called the police, they would definitely ask questions and investigate. I wont settle this privately with you! Im calling the police! The truck driver called the police as he spoke. Zhou Yan saw that the situation was not right and stretched out his hand to snatch the truck drivers phone. How much do you want? Name your price. The truck driver seemed to have long been prepared, dodging Zhou Yan in a sh. What money? This isnt about money! The call to the police was also connected at this time. The truck driver quickly said, Hello? I crashed into someone elses car. My address is Zhou Yan also did not expect that this driver was a tough nut to crack. He turned around and walked to the back of the car. Lu Shiyuan rolled down the car window and asked impatiently, Are you done? Zhou Yans expression darkened as he said, He refused to ept a private settlement. You useless trash! Lu Shiyuan scolded. Zhou Yan lowered his head and allowed Lu Shiyuan to scold him. It was true that he did not handle this matter well. The press conference was about to end. Lu Shiyuan naturally could not wait here any longer. He got out of the car and stood by the roadside, ready to take a taxi to Yong Shui Pavilion. Zhou Yan saw the taxiing over and hurriedly stopped it. Just as Lu Shiyuan was about to get into the car, the truck driver ran over. Dont run! The police havent arrived yet! The moment the truck driver arrived, he closed the taxi door that Zhou Yan just opened. Zhou Yan went forward and wanted to pull the truck driver away. Ill wait for the police here with you. The truck driver was filled with brute force. He stood firmly on the spot, so Zhou Yan could not pull him. The truck driver snorted coldly. There are two of you in the car. Who knows which one of you is driving? No one is allowed to leave! Zhou Yan thought that it would be toote if Lu Shiyuan didnt leave now. He could only coax the truck driver patiently, I was driving. Are you the owner? Zhou Yan turned his head to look at Lu Shiyuan. Yes, I am. Of course, he was not the owner of the car. This car belonged to Lu Shiyuan. How can you prove that youre the owner? You Zhou Yan, who had always been a patient guy, was unable to keep his cool anymore. If you dont leave, Im going to leave now! The taxi driver saw that something was wrong and immediately fled. The taxi sped off. Zhou Yan was so angry that he took two deep breaths in a row. When he calmed down and was about to hail another taxi, Lu Shiyuan, who had been standing behind him, suddenly kicked the truck driver. The truck driver was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground. Lu Shiyuan was already filled with anger. The truck driver became a target in his venting range. Now that he had made a move, it would not be so easy for him to stop. Lu Shiyuan kicked the truck driver a few more times and even tried to punch him. President Lu! Zhou Yan wanted to persuade Lu Shiyuan to stop. But how could he stop him? Instead, Lu Shiyuan turned around to deliver a blow to him. The police arrived at that moment. What are you guys doing? After the police rushed over, they stopped Lu Shiyuan who was in a rage. Zhou Yans heart turned cold. The situation was getting worse. President Lu couldnt make it to the press conference. After the police pulled the two of them apart, Lu Shiyuan still felt angry and wanted to go up and beat up the truck driver. The police held Lu Shiyuan down tightly. You still want to hit him in front of the police? All of you will follow us back to the police station to make a statementter. Officer, he hit me first! the truck driver quickly eximed. Dont worry, well investigate the matter clearly. Who called the police just now and said that there was a car ident? the policeman asked again. The truck driver, whose face was bruised and swollen, quickly said, It was me! I called the police! Chapter 128 - 128: Countdown to the Death of the Lu Corporation Chapter 128: Countdown to the Death of the Lu Corporation Yong Shui Pavilion. At the press conference. The reporters already asked Lin Shanchu almost all the questions they needed to ask. Now, they were waiting for Lu Shiyuan. The reporters also began to ask questions to the other shareholders to kill time. Lin Shanchu could finally rest. The systems voice sounded in her mind. [Lu Shiyuan has been taken away by the police.] Lin Shanchu cast her nce downward in order to conceal the smile in her eyes. The system seized the opportunity to save its dignity. [Look, I really helped you, right? You cant call me an idiot anymore.] This useless system had a lot of past records. She would not trust it so easily. The system continued, [As long as you interact more with Huo Xunzhou, you can continue to umte rtionship points. When the timees, you can exchange them for various mission rewards] Got it, Lin Shanchu interrupted impatiently. This system was a hopeless romantic. All it kept talking about was rtionships. Previously, when the press conference was about to start, Lin Shanchu had been thinking about how to prevent Lu Shiyuan froming. If someone were to stop it, it would probably be a little difficult to operate. Therefore, she thought of the system that was finally useful after the update. Is there a way to stop Lu Shiyuan froming to the press conference? Lin Shanchu asked. In order to show off its ability, the system was particrly proactive. [You can use your rtionship points to exchange for a wishing card.] Lin Shanchu did not believe it at first. You should know the consequences of stopping Lu Shiyuan froming to the press conference. Previously, she had obtained video evidence from Qi Cheng that couldpletely ruin Lu Shiyuans reputation, but it was erased because of the male leads plot armor. The consequences of stopping Lu Shiyuan froming to the press conference were also harmful to Lu Shiyuan. She didnt believe that the system would help her. The system replied, [I know, but this matter isnt a huge threat to Lu Shiyuan. The emergency defense and the male leads plot armor wont activate in this case.] Thus, Lin Shanchu used her so-called rtionship points to exchange for a wishing card. She did not expect the system to go through with it properly. The system didnt forget to remind her, [Remember to progress your rtionship. Being in a rtionship is a serious matter. Also] Lin Shanchu blocked it before it could finish its sentence. Why did its naggy personality still remain even after it was done with the upgrade Ms. Lin. Director Li turned around and called out to her in a low voice. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly, indicating for him to speak frankly. Will President Lu reallye? Director Li sounded worried. Although they had already joined forces with Lin Shanchu, they were still very afraid of Lu Shiyuan. If Lu Shiyuan really came to the press conference, it might change the current situation. It was not easy to have such an opportunity to disperse Lu Shiyuans power. Lin Shanchus lips slowly curled into a small smile as she replied leisurely, Calm down. Director Li couldnt help but study Lin Shanchu carefully. Lin Shanchu was only in her early twenties. In his eyes, she was just a youngdy. However, she continued to sit there calmly. Even her words were inexplicably convincing. He looked at the time on his watch. At the same time, he already had an answer in his heart. Lu Shiyuan would note. The press conference wasing to an end, but no one saw Lu Shiyuan. The press conferencested for an hour and a half. Lu Shiyuan had plenty of time, but he did not show up. This was enough to show that Lu Shiyuan did not want toe. Lin Shanchu stood up. Thank you, everyonn, for attending todays press conference. In the future, the Lu Corporation will be more cautious when dealing with celebrities. The board of directors will also participate in thepanys operations and supervise each other to prevent tragedies from happening again. Thank you for your attention and supervision. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, the other shareholders also stood up and faced the camera together with her. All of them bowed at 90 degrees politely. Apuse rang out from the audience. Amidst the apuse, Lin Shanchu, who had her head lowered, slowly smiled. From today onward. The Lu Corporation entered a countdown that would lead it to its death. The press conference ended. Everyone left. The shareholders followed Lin Shanchu. When they returned to the lounge, they all revealed delighted expressions. Weve finally waited for this day. In the future, Lu Shiyuan wont be the only one who has the final say in the Lu Corporation! Lu Shiyuan is indeed too arrogant. As his elders, we should give him more pointers to restrain himself They put on their facades and started lying to each other. All Lin Shanchu felt was annoyance. She got up and walked out. Its almost dinner time. Ms. Lin, dont you want to have dinner with us before leaving? Director Li called out to her. No thanks. Lin Shanchu didnt even turn her head. As soon as she left with Li MO, the shareholders started talking about her. Despite the youngdys weak and fragile appearance, her methods to deal with the situation are as brutal as Lu Shiyuans. Even a rabbit will bite back out of desperation! Lu Shiyuan has been snuggling with another woman all these years, not to mention he didnt even spare Lin Shanchu a penny! Whos to be med in this case? They are still young people at the end of the day. Let them fight. In the end, were the ones who have to be present in order to stabilize thepany Of course. If it wasnt for us, the Lu Corporation wouldnt be where it is today Outside the door. Li MO and Lin Shanchu heard the shareholders conversation clearly. Thetter left after hearing what she wanted to hear. The more arrogant those shareholders were, the faster the Lu Corporation would die. Although Lu Shiyuan was a scumbag, no one could deny that his business ability was indeed extraordinary. These shareholders were not even one-tenth of Lu Shiyuans strength even when their strengths werebined together. There were still reporters outside the Yong Shui Pavilion. Ms. Lin, Ill go get the car. Li MO went to get the car while Lin Shanchu waited at the entrance. With security guards around, reporters who did not ept the invitation could not enter. However, there were still a few reporters who had attended the press conference in the hall. The reporter was afraid that Lin Shanchu would leave if they were toote, so they jogged over. Miss Lin, we still have some questions. Lin Shanchu turned around with a smile on her face. May I ask if you will be leaving My Stage? Of course not. Why not? Lin Shanchuughed. I have a contract with the production team. Im a person with a contractual spirit. The reporter was infected by her cheerful tone. Then I wish you a smooth debut. Thank you for your well-wishes. The possibility of Lin Shanchu continuing to participate in My Stage was something that everyone was concerned about. Once the reporter uploaded the interview on the inte, it quickly became a trending topic. Lin Shanchu had taken up half of the trending searches on the entertainment rankings today. #Lin Shanchu holds a press conference as a shareholder #Lin Shanchu will continue to participate in My Stage #Lin Shanchus ck dress #Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu broke up Thest topic was brought up by theizens after watching the press conference. [When will Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu break up?] [Did Lu Shiyuan save Lin Shanchus life before? Whats the point of keeping such a lowly man by her side?] Chapter 129 - 129: I Will Spare Her Life Chapter 129: I Will Spare Her Life Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion [I dont know if Lu Shiyuan saved Lin Shanchus life, but I know that Lin Shanchus parents saved Lu Shiyuans parents lives.] [Yes, Ive heard of this before. Lin Shanchus parents passed away at that time.] [Lu Shiyuan is the heartless one, right?] [I think Lu Shiyuan is in a difficult position. He doesnt like Lin Shanchu, but he has no choice but to get engaged to Lin Shanchu because of her parents deed] [Are you dumb?] [The past valedictorians of Xu City Drama Academy end up being famous and sessful, yet Lin Shanchu is the only one who isnt sessful in her career. We all know that shes getting suppressed by someone.] [Thats right! I saw Lin Shanchus interview when she graduated from high school. The original camera did not have a photoshopped picture. I was shocked at that time and thought that this girl would definitely be popr, but in the end] Public opinion continued to brew, and it was favoring Lin Shanchus side. Lin Shanchus Weibo fans were increasing at the same time. All of Lu Shiyuans keywords became heartless, scumbag, cheating, and other words with simr meaning. Tang Qidai was dragged into the mess in the heat of the moment. Now that all of her gigs had stopped, and her manager had been fired, she had nothing to do at home. So, she could only y with her phone. She couldnt help but look at Lin Shanchus homepage whenever she was on her phone. Tang Qidai watched as Lin Shanchus fans rose from a few hundred thousand to five million. She watched Lin Shanchu dominate the trending searches. Tang Qidai was so jealous that her lungs were about to explode. She logged into Weibo with her alternate ount just to scold Lin Shanchu. Before Lin Shanchus fans coulde over, she was already surrounded by passersby. She couldnt let Lin Shanchu continue to be so arrogant. Brother Shiyuan must have a solution, Tang Qidai mumbled. She dialed Lu Shiyuans number. The call went through very quickly. Lu Shiyuan had been cooperating with the police station for the past two days, which was why she couldnt reach him. Now, she could finally get through. Brother Shiyuan, Tang Qidai said happily. Qidai, Im at the police station. What? Tang Qidai rushed to the police station. She spent arge sum of money to bail Lu Shiyuan out. Lu Shiyuan had fought with the truck driverst time. His clothes were wrinkled, and his face was gloomy and tired. Overall, he looked a little disheveled. Brother Shiyuan, what happened? Tang Qidais heart ached for Lu Shiyuan. How did it end up like this? Im fine. Lu Shiyuan was about to explode from anger, but he was still very patient with Tang Qidai. I will handle it. Tang Qidai reached out to help him tidy up his wrinkled clothes. Wheres Zhou Yan? Lets go back first. Lu Shiyuan could not be bothered to mention Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan had note to the police station to bail him out. It must be because the matter of the car crash was not handled well. It was just a small matter, but it wasnt even settled after so long. Zhou Yans ability to do things was worsening. On the way back, Tang Qidai drove while Lu Shiyuan checked thetest news on his phone. At the end of the press conference, Lin Shanchu said that the board members were involved in thepanys operations. When he heard that, he couldnt contain his anger anymore and threw the phone away. Tang Qidai also watched the live broadcast of the press conference. Naturally, she knew why Lu Shiyuan was so angry. Although she was also furious, she stillforted Lu Shiyuan gently as usual. Brother Shiyuan, Shanshan has gone too far this time. Not only did she stop my work, but she also made the decision to hold a press conference with the shareholders. She doesnt take the two of us seriously at all. Sensing Lu Shiyuans growing anger, Tang Qidai felt pleased. All these years, no matter how she tried to cause trouble, Lu Shiyuan would always show mercy to Lin Shanchu at the critical moment. This time, Lin Shanchu had gone overboard. They actually dared to coborate with the shareholders to split the power in Lu Shiyuans hands. This meant they were challenging Lu Shiyuans authority. This was Lu Shiyuans bottom line. He would never tolerate anyone who challenged his authority. This time, Lu Shiyuan would definitely not show mercy. What was the point of Lin Shanchus wonderful speech at the press conference? The Lu Corporation was still under the Lu family, after all. Everything Lin Shanchu did was dig her own grave. After a while, Lu Shiyuan said faintly, She will pay for everything she has done. Tang Qidai was relieved by Lu Shiyuans words. However, in front of Lu Shiyuan, she always remembered her gentle and kind persona. Although Shanshan has gone overboard, I still hope that you can be merciful to her, Brother Shiyuan Dont worry, I will spare her life. Tang Qidais expression stiffened. She said that without meaning it. Hence, she didnt expect Lu Shiyuan to really let Lin Shanchu go. However, Lu Shiyuan was not in a good mood, so Tang Qidai didnt dare to disobey him. Brother Shiyuan, You havent eaten properly these two days, right? You look thinner than usual. Lets go eat first, Tang Qidai said with reddened eyes. Lu Shiyuan did not have much of an appetite at first, but when he saw Tang Qidais expression, his heart softened. All right. Lu Shiyuan still had to go to thepany after dinner, so he went to a restaurant not far from the Lu Corporation. There were quite a few people in the restaurant during dinner time. The main area was crowded and noisy, so Tang Qidai said, I want a private room. Im sorry. All the private rooms have already been booked. There are only tables in the main area left, the owner said apologetically. The main area is so noisy! How can we possibly dine like this? Tang Qidai was used to enjoying special privileges and would not ept the boss solution. Im really sorry, said the owner. Why dont you go to another restaurant then? Youre running a business here, yet youre actually chasing your customers away? Tang Qidai turned to Lu Shiyuan and said coquettishly, Brother Shiyuan.. Lu Shiyuan took out a card. Give me a private room. You can charge any amount to this card. Just now, Lu Shiyuan had been standing behind her, so the owner didnt notice him at all. Are Are you President Lu of the Lu Corporation? Recently, Lu Shiyuan had been on the trending searches frequently. Anyone who followed the news knew him by default. The owner sized up Lu Shiyuan for a moment. After confirming that he was Lu Shiyuan himself, he turned to look at Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai had always thought that she was famous, so she was used to wearing a mask and a hat to disguise herself. The owner stared at her for a moment before saying with aplicated expression, Ill call the guests and see if we can vacate the private room Lu Shiyuan did not have the patience to wait for the owner tomunicate with the customers. I said, you can charge any amount to this card. President Lu The owner looked troubled. One had to be honest and sincere when it came to doing business. Lu Shiyuan was not someone who could be easily offended. Since there are no private rooms, why dont we just sit in the main area? Why are you making things difficult for the owner? Hearing Lin Shanchus voice, Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai turned around in unison. Lin Shanchu! When Lu Shiyuan saw Lin Shanchu, he walked over angrily. Tang Qidai quickly pulled him back while whispering, Brother Shiyuan, there are so many people watching. Lin Shanchu smiled and said to the owner, Boss, well take a table in the main area.. Chapter 130 - 130: You Might As Well Beg Me Chapter 130: You Might As Well Beg Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When the owner heard Lin Shanchus words, he quickly brought them to a table and sat them down. Lin Shanchu took the menu and handed it to Li MO, who hade along with her. Although Li MO usually followed Huo Xunzhou as a bodyguard and driver, it was obvious that Huo Xunzhou didnt really treat Li MO as a subordinate. Naturally, she wouldnt disrespect Li Mo. After Li MO finished ordering, Lin Shanchu flipped through the menu and ordered a few dishes before handing the menu to Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan didnt take it for a long time, so Lin Shanchu threw the menu in front of Tang Qidai. If he doesnt want to order, then you do it. Tang Qidai had always paid attention to her image in public. She suppressed her dissatisfaction while picking up the menu calmly. Lin Shanchu snorted disdainfully after hearing the name of the dish. Tang Qidai ordered all of Lu Shiyuans favorite dishes. When the food was served, Lin Shanchu and Li MO, who had been busy the entire afternoon, began to eat heartily. It was as if they were really just here to eat. Meanwhile, Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan, who were sitting across from them, didnt have any appetite. Lu Shiyuan was the first to explode. He mmed his chopsticks on the dining table. Lin Shanchu, how dare youe to see me! I had no choice. I waited at Yong Shui Pavilion until the press conference was over, but you didnt dare to show up. I could onlye to you. Lin Shanchus nonchnt tone was filled with disdain. It was no different from adding fuel to the fire. Lu Shiyuans eyes were burning with anger. You think youre still lucky, eh? Back then, I was able to take back all the power of the Lu Corporation. I can do the same now. Oh, Lin Shanchu replied lightly. It was just a short word, but it was extremely contemptuous. Lin Shanchu didnt bother showing Lu Shiyuan any respect at all. You Lu Shiyuan couldnt take it anymore. He wanted to flip the table over and smash things on the spot. However, he was stopped by the kind and understanding Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai looked at Lin Shanchu with a pained expression. Shanshan, how could you treat Brother Shiyuan like this? Uncle Lu loved you like his own in the past! Tell him toe and find me, then. Lin Shanchus words rendered Tang Qidai speechless. After Lu Shiyuans mother passed away, his father, Lu Qinghuai, became depressed. In those few years, Lu Qinghuai did not care about thepany or Lu Shiyuan. He tended to spend his days drowning his sorrows with alcohol and never went home. Thepany gradually weakened under the control of the old geezers on the board of directors. It was until one day Lu Shiyuan and Lu Qinghuai had a big fight on Lu Shiyuans mothers death anniversary. Lu Qinghuai went missing as a result. After that, Lu Shiyuan took over the Lu Corporation and fought with the old codgers on the board of directors, taking back all his power. In the next six to seven years, Lu Shiyuan expanded the Lu Corporation. As for Lu Qinghuai, some people said that he had gone to the mountains to be a monk. In any case, Lin Shanchu had never heard from Lu Qinghuai all these years. But she knew that Lu Qinghuai was still alive. In a sense, selfishness was engraved in the genes of the Lu family. Lu Qinghuai was like this. Lu Shiyuan was the same. Tang Qidai had no choice but to gulp down arge ss of water to suppress her anger. Ah, thats right Lin Shanchu looked at Tang Qidai. Your beloved Brother Shiyuan doesnt have the final say in Lu Enterprise. You should pay more attention to your own career first. Tang Qidais expression changed as she turned to look at Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan held Tang Qidais hand before looking up at Lin Shanchu. Soon, youll know if Im the only one who has the final say in the Lu Corporation. Lin Shanchu smiled. Im the secondrgest shareholder after your father. At least I have the final say in thepany now. The calm expression on Lu Shiyuans face cracked again. What do you mean? Tang Qidai was also shocked. Lin Shanchu exined nicely, I own 15% of the Lu Corporations shares. Your Brother Shiyuan only has 10% while your Uncle Lu has 41%. So, Im the secondrgest shareholder. You Tang Qidai still couldnt believe her ears. In the past few years, Lin Shanchu had always been weak and helpless, allowing Tang Qidai to bully her. That was why Tang Qidai had never taken Lin Shanchu seriously. She had thought that she was just a pitiful wretch who had been ced in the care of the Lu family. She didnt expect Lin Shanchu to own so many shares of the Lu Corporation. Do you think its a lot? Lin Shanchu smiled brightly. But soon, Lin Shanchus smile disappeared. Her voice was akin to a cold de. My parents exchanged their lives for it! Tang Qidais face shed with guilt as she averted her gaze quickly. Lin Shanchuughed again. You might as well beg me instead of him. Tang Qidais face turned pale. All these years, she had dared to target and frame Lin Shanchu because of Lu Shiyuans favoritism. If Lu Shiyuan really lost his power, Lin Shanchu would definitely kill her! Lu Shiyuan saw Tang Qidais expression change. His heart aching for her, he scolded Lin Shanchu, Thats enough! Shut up! Youre the one who should shut the f*ck up! Lin Shanchu raised an eyebrow. Lu Shiyuan was so shocked that he couldnt even utter a word for a long time. Even though he had already started to ept the fact that Lin Shanchus personality had changed drastically, he still couldnt get used to the fact that Lin Shanchu, who was usually meek and gentle, was capable of cursing like a sailor. Lin Shanchu hade here for no other reason. She was here to show off the results in front of Lu Shiyuan. Since she couldnt kill him, she decided to piss him off. Unfortunately, Lu Shiyuan was young and healthy, so he didnt get a heart attack. As a result, Lin Shanchu was bored by his reaction. Li MO, are you already full? Yes. Li MO put down his chopsticks. Lets go. Lin Shanchu got up, kicked the chair away, and swaggered out of the restaurant. She was unbelievably arrogant. Tang Qidai was angry and resentful, but she could only grit her teeth because she couldnt do anything to Lin Shanchu. The next second, the coldness on her face disappeared. She looked at Lu Shiyuan gently and said, Its okay, Brother Shiyuan. We still have a chance. What do you mean? Lu Shiyuan asked. Lin Shanchu said that shell return to My Stage to continue recording, Tang Qidai whispered. Lu Shiyuan frowned slightly as if he was a little hesitant. Dont worry, Tang Qidai hurriedly said. Im just teaching her a lesson. Lin Shanchu walked out of the restaurant feeling refreshed. She hummed a song as she got into the car. She remembered that the system had told her to interact more with Huo Xunzhou to umte rtionship points. She opened WeChat and sent a message to Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu: [Have you eaten?] As soon as the message was sent, a sound simr to the sound of money being transferred to the ount sounded in her mind. Whats that? The system answered, [0.001 points have been transferred to your ount.] Lin Shanchu was silent for a full five seconds. Can you be any more stingy? The system didnt say anything afterward. Beep! Li MO, who was in the front row, suddenly honked. Immediately after, another beep sounded. Whats wrong? Lin Shanchu raised her head and looked ahead. Theres a car blocking the road. As Li MO spoke, he honked his horn like mad. As a result, sounds of pping could be hearding from the button. Li MO, do you have road rage? Lin Shanchu asked faintly.. Chapter 131 - 131: She’s President Lin Now Chapter 131: Shes President Lin Now Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Nope, Li MO quickly denied. His tone was as calm as usual. After taking a few deep breaths, Li MO said to Lin Shanchu in a serious tone, Ms. Lin, Ill go and greet the car owner in front. Li Lin Shanchu wanted to persuade him to calm down. However, Li MO got out of the car so quickly that he didnt give Lin Shanchu a chance to speak. She tilted her head and looked out the window. Li MO was seen walking quickly, rolling up his sleeves as he walked. He looked like he was about to paint the town red with blood. Perhaps Li MO used to be a gangster? Li MO walked to the drivers seat of the car in front and knocked on the window. Then, the car door opened, revealing a young woman in his sight. Li MO immediately took two steps back as though he had seen someone unpleasant. The young woman was wearing a hat and a mask. This outfit was somewhat familiar, and so was the figure. Soon, Li MO came over with the young woman. Ms. Lin, its Qiao Jiaxi. Li MO spoke up first. No wonder Lin Shanchu found that woman familiar. She tilted her head to look at the woman again. Qiao Jiaxi stood three steps behind Li MO obediently. She sped her hands in front of her, looking like a prim and properdy. Thest time they met in the studio, Qiao Jiaxi wasnt like this. She was arrogant and smug, thinking that she was a bigshot and taking up other peoples time without feeling any guilt. Sensing Lin Shanchus gaze, Qiao Jiaxi looked over. Lin Shanchu couldnt see her expression because of the mask. She exchanged nces with Qiao Jiaxi for a moment before extending her maex linger m ters direction ana curnng It Inwara to DecKon ner. Qiao Jiaxi was stunned for a moment before walking over. Lin Shanchu shuffled to make space for Qiao Jiaxi. Qiao Jiaxi opened the car door and got in. After she took off her cap and mask, Lin Shanchu saw her red and swollen eyes. Whats the matter? Lin Shanchu asked. Qiao Jiaxi looked up and asked in a serious tone, Is Lu Shiyuan really rted to Jing Mings death? Lin Shanchu recalled Qiao Jiaxins sorrowful visage in the photoshoot studio on Jing Mings death anniversary. Qiao Jiaxi was Jing Mings true fan. Previously, she seemed like she wanted Lin Shanchu dead, but now she was willing to ask Lin Shanchu about Jing Ming. Lin Shanchu carefully studied Qiao Jiaxi. Indeed, Qiao Jiaxis expression did not show any signs of acting. Lin Shanchu said casually, Not only is it rted to Lu Shiyuan, but your cousin is involved as well. Qiao Jiaxi looked at Lin Shanchu in shock. What did they do to Jing Ming? Her eyes reddened again. Lin Shanchu twirled her hair while answering coldly, Go and investigate it yourself. The thought of the evidence that was deemed as dangerous items by the plot armor and got erased as a result pissed Lin Shanchu off. Lin Shanchu was in a bad mood and didnt want to talk to Qiao Jiaxi anymore, so she spoke up. Get out of the car. How How should I investigate? Qiao Jiaxi and Lin Shanchu spoke almost at the same time. Qiao Jiaxis eyes were still red, and her gaze was sincere. Do you like Jing Ming that much? Lin Shanchu had never idolized a celebrity before, so she didnt really understand the feelings of those who did. I only wanted to enter the entertainment industry because of Jing Ming Qiao Jiaxi opened her mouth and began to ramble on about Jing Ming. Go to the Lu Corporation and investigate the matter, Lin Shanchu interrupted impatiently. But I cant go in. Wont you be able to enter if you sign a contract with the Lu Corporation? Lin Shanchu replied casually. Qiao Jiaxi didnt react for a moment. What? How could she dream of investigating Jing Mings incident with her limited IQ? Come to the Lu Corporation to look for me tomorrow morning. Lin Shanchu left the sentence hanging in the air before opening the car door and chasing Qiao Jiaxi away. Li MO, who was guarding the car, stared at Qiao Jiaxi seriously. Move your car. Slightly terrified, Qiao Jiaxi ran over and moved the car out of the way. Li MO was finally able to drive without any obstructions, so he gradually calmed down. Qiao Jiaxi stared in the direction Lin Shanchu had left and fell into deep thought. Lin Shanchus words just now Did she say what Qiao Jiaxi thought she meant? After theizens found out that Lin Shanchu would continue to participate in the recording of My Stage, they started to guess which show Lin Shanchu would choose. [Lin Shanchu is in first ce again. She should be able to choose her own song now, right?] [Lin Shanchu didnt show up on the episode of the song selection for the second public showdown. The other groups are all full, and theres only one spot left for a difficult song.] [I feel that every time she goes on stage, shes able to surprise us with her performance. Lets just look forward to her performance.] [Everyone, shes President Lin now. Think about it; President Lin is performing for us! Isnt this exciting?] [Youre right! It doesnt cost money at all! I feel amazing all of a sudden! Hahaha!] The aforementionedpany president who was about to perform to everyone for free was speechless. That seemed to be the case. Although the Lu Corporation was going to go bankrupt in the near future, she was still the secondrgest shareholder of the Lu Corporation. Now that she thought about it, she was amazed by herself. However, if she was that powerful, why didnt Huo Xunzhou reply to her WeChat message? Lin Shanchu exited Weibo and opened WeChat again. The WeChat message she sent to Huo Xunzhou was like a stone sinking into the ocean. There was no response from Huo Xunzhou. The car stopped in front of Huo Xunzhous vi. Big Brother, were back! Li MO shouted as soon as he entered. Dont tell me hes not at home he muttered as he entered the kitchen. After Li MO poured himself some water, he asked Lin Shanchu, Ms. Lin, do you want some water? No thanks. Lin Shanchu went upstairs. She stopped when she passed by Huo Xunzhous study. She gently knocked on the door. There was no movement inside. Just when she thought Huo Xunzhou wasnt in the study, the door was opened from the inside. Huo Xunzhou was wearing casual clothes and was on the phone with one hand by his ear. Lin Shanchu saw that he was on the phone, so he didnt say anything. Huo Xunzhou said to the person on the other end, I have something to do, so Ill hang up first. Lin Shanchu nced at the screen and realized that the call had been going on for more than an hour. Who could make Huo Xunzhou talk for more than an hour? That meant he was not replying to her WeChat message because he was on the phone with this person. Huo Xunzhou ended the call and saw the WeChat message Lin Shanchu had sent him. Now that Lin Shanchu was standing right in front of him, he put his phone back into his pocket. I was on the phone just now. I didnt see WeChat. Oh. I havent eaten yet. Lin Shanchu froze for a moment before realizing that Huo Xunzhou was exining that he hadnt eaten dinner yet. Oh. Lin Shanchu turned around and left. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. Why is Ms. Lin angry? he asked nosily. Huo Xunzhou nced at Li Mo. There was a trace of emotion in his tone. What does it have to do with you? Li MO was speechless. Did he step on someones tail? All he did was pass by and ask a question casually.. Chapter 132 - 132: Shanshan Dotes on Me the Most Chapter 132: Shanshan Dotes on Me the Most Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Li MO stuffed the ss of water into Huo Xunzhous hands and nned to leave quietly. Ms. Lin was angry. Big Brother was in a bad mood. He couldnt afford to offend both of them. He had only taken two steps when Huo Xunzhou called out to him. Li Mo. Big Brother, whats the matter? Li MO returned to the study again. Huo Xunzhou cleared his throat and gestured for him toe closer. Li MO leaned over, only to hear Huo Xunzhou whispering something into his ear. After hearing this, Li MO walked toward Lin Shanchus room with aplicated expression. Knock! Knock! Hearing the knocks, Lin Shanchu quickly walked to the door. When she opened the door and saw that it was Li MO, Lin Shanchus lips pressed into a slight frown. Ms. Lin, do you want supper? Li MO asked. Big Brother wants to order takeout. He Lin Shanchu opened her mouth and was interrupted by Li Mo. Big Brother said that its okay to eat takeout. You dont have to feel sorry for him. Anyway, hes been like this since he was young. Hes used to it Big Brother also said Li MO kept rambling on and on. Lin Shanchu wanted to speak a few times, but she couldnt find the chance to do so. Finally, Lin Shanchu couldnt hold it in anymore. Yes! Li MO finally quieted down and stood at attention. These two days, he had followed Lin Shanchu to help her with her matters. Having witnessed all of her methods, he was somewhat in awe of her. If it wasnt for his big brother threatening and enticing him with rewards, he wouldnt have dared toe and say all those things in her face. Lin Shanchu looked at Li MO in annoyance before leaving. Li MO turned around to see Lin Shanchu heading downstairs. He went out to take a look and found Lin Shanchu in the kitchen. As expected of Big Brother. Just like that, he easily controlled Ms. Lin with just a few words. Li MO ran to Huo Xunzhous study. Big Brother, Ms. Lin went to the kitchen. Okay. Huo Xunzhou sat in front of his desk with a smile on his face. Seeing that Li MO was still dilly-dallying, Huo Xunzhou looked up. Is there anything else? Big Brother, I think Li MO stammered. Huh? Huo Xunzhou asked. Under Huo Xunzhous encouraging gaze, Li MO quickly added the second half of his sentence. Youre quite shameless. Big Brother had really changed. He pretended to be pitiful in order to gain sympathy from Ms. Lin. As soon as he finished speaking, Li MO turned around and ran out skillfully. Huo Xunzhou casually picked up a pen and threw it at Li MOs feet urately. Li MO turned his head and nced at him. Yikes, that was close! Fortunately, he was a fast runner. 20 minutester. The door to Huo Xunzhous study was kicked open from the outside. There were only three people in this family now. He didnt even need to look to know who dared to kick his door open like that. Huo Xunzhou looked up and saw Lin Shanchu standing at the door with a bowl of noodles in her hands. She walked over and ced the bowl in front of him without saying a word. Huo Xunzhou reached out to take the chopsticks from Lin Shanchus hand, his voice clearly filled with cheer. You dote on me the most, Shanshan. I knew you cant bear to see me eat takeout. His beautiful eyes curved slightly, his lying silkvvorms became more obvious because of his smile. He looked more charming as a result. His face was capable of enchanting everyone. Are you going to eat or not? Lin Shanchu calmed herself down. She could not understand how a man could be so beautiful yet so masculine. What she could not understand was that such a good-looking man was not the male lead. Huo Xunzhou stopped talking immediately. He picked up his chopsticks to start eating. The man rummaged through the bowl and found that there were only vegetables and noodles. He knew that his dear Shanshan was so angry that she didnt even want to fry a sunny side up for him. Lin Shanchu wanted to turn around and leave. However, she felt as though she was rooted to the spot. Her body seemed to be out of her control as she walked over to sit across from Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was very focused on everything he did. It was the same even when he was eating. He lowered his head and chewed slowly. He wasnt in a hurry, but he didnt eat slowly. He was so serious that he looked like a kindergarten kid who wanted to be praised by the teacher after finishing his meal first. He looked rather obedient at that moment. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou and started to regret her decision. She regretted not frying him a sunny side up. Soon, Huo Xunzhou put down his chopsticks. He finished the entire bowl of noodles. When Huo Xunzhou looked up, Lin Shanchu, who had been staring at him for a long time, looked away guiltily. Are you full? She tried to say something to hide her guilt. Im full. Lin Shanchu stood up and wanted to take the empty bowl in front of Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou reached out and pressed the bowl down. Lin Shanchu raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a puzzled expression. Ive been a little busy with work recently. Ill let Li MO follow you everywhere if you need him. The main point of the whole sentence was only the first sentence. He had been a little busy with work recently. The reason why he spent over an hour on the phone was because of work. Huo Xunzhous expression and tone were the same as usual, but Lin Shanchu understood what he meant. She suppressed the secret joy that rose in her heart. Ill go to the Lu Corporation to do something tomorrow morning. Ill return to the production team at night. Huo Xunzhou hesitated for a moment before replying, All right. He wanted to say something but hesitated. The next day. Lin Shanchu had already brought Li MO to the Lu Corporation. Enemies always tended to bump into each other at the worst possible time. She met Lu Shiyuan in front of the Lu Corporation building. Lin Shanchu nced at Lu Shiyuan. She didnt bother hiding her contempt and disdain at all. Lu Shiyuan walked into the building with her, a cold expression on his face. Good morning, President Lu! Good morning, President Lin! On the way, they met an employee who greeted them. Lu Shiyuan was in a terrible mood, so he ignored the staff member. Meanwhile, Lin Shanchu was in a good mood. She replied with a smile, Morning. She was wearing the red dress she wore to the shareholders meeting the other day. It made her look eye-catching and radiant. When she smiled, she was so beautiful that she could make people fall head over heels for her. The few male employees who apanied the employee immediately blushed. The female employee also sighed softly upon gazing at Lin Shanchus beauty. The other shareholders also came to thepany. After all, Lin Shanchu had already said at the press conference that the shareholders would participate in all the projects of the Lu Corporation. Naturally, the shareholders had toe to thepany actively. The shareholders had a morning meeting with thepanys core executives. At the meeting, the shareholders showed off their skills. They were either pointing fingers at thepanys ongoing projects or trying to force their own people to sign contracts with the Lu Corporation. With Lu Shiyuans arrogant personality, he naturally would not tolerate these shareholders. He rejected the shareholders suggestions one by one. The shareholders faces darkened at first, then they all looked at Lin Shanchu. What do you think, President Lin? Lin Shanchu smiled. President Lu, we are all young people. We are not as experienced as our seniors in many things. I think we should take their opinions into consideration. My opinion? Lu Shiyuan sneered.. You call this pile of bullsh*t their opinion? Chapter 133 - 133: She Had to Get Rid Of the Identity Chapter 133: She Had to Get Rid Of the Identity Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lu Shiyuan was used to being overbearing. He never showed mercy when he spoke or did things. There were also some executives present, so it was natural for the shareholders to feel humiliated. Their expressions darkened even more as they started being unpleasant. Youre young and impetuous, President Lu. We know that you dont care about the consequences whenever you speak or do things, but this is not a childs game. Im afraid you cant make the decision alone. We may be old, but were a lot more experienced than you. Since youre dissatisfied with our suggestions, well let President Lin make the ultimate decision. Those old geezers didnt let her down. Not only did they give ridiculous suggestions, but they also thought they were quite capable. Lin Shanchu was in a good mood. Since the elders have brought those things up, lets give it a try. How would we know the results if we never tried anything? Lu Shiyuans expression changed. Lin Lin Shanchu interrupted him, her tone turning serious. President Lu, if theres only one person who disagrees with you, then it might just be that persons problem. If everyone disagrees with you, you have to think about whether its your own problem or not. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, the other shareholders began to agree with her. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he stood up and left the scene. Lin Shanchu nced at his back. Her eyes were cold. It seemed that Lu Shiyuan couldnt take it anymore. This was just the beginning. As soon as Lu Shiyuan left, the shareholders began to criticize Lu Shiyuan. The executives were all smart people. No one made a sound and pretended not to hear anything. Lin Shanchu stood up. Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Lets end the meeting here. The executives left. The shareholders stayed behind. I didnt expect you to be so good at dealing with people at such a young age, President Lin. A few days ago, when Lin Shanchu was looking for shareholders to cooperate with her, her arrogant attitude was not inferior to Lu Shiyuans at all. In fact, she was even more arrogant. They had thought that Lin Shanchu would disrespect them at todays morning meeting. However, not only did Lin Shanchu speak up for them, but she also humiliated Lu Shiyuan in front of the executives. This was clearly telling the other subordinates that Lu Shiyuan would not be the only one who had the final say in the Lu Corporation in the future. They naturally felt that Lin Shanchu was more sensible than Lu Shiyuan. Theres no need to tter me. Its more important to contribute to the pany, Lin Shanchu said seriously. Of course. Ill leave thepany to all of you when Im away recording the show. Lin Shanchu nodded slightly with a serious look on her face. The shareholders, who only knew how to give bad opinions, were instantly blown away. Dont worry, President Lin. Well definitely help President Lu manage thepany well. Lin Shanchu smiled as she walked out of the meeting room. Li MO, who was guarding the door, nced into the meeting room and heard the shareholders praising Lin Shanchu for being sensible. A hint of mockery shed across his eyes. The Lu Corporation had relied on Lu Shiyuan to grow in the past few years. Those shareholders only needed to lie at home and collect money all these years. Rich people always had people who ttered them. After hearing too much ttery, they started to be overconfident in their own capability. Naturally, they could not stand the unpleasant truth. They even felt that they were stronger than Lu Shiyuan. Honestly speaking, Ms. Lins move was really powerful and ruthless. Lin Shanchu didnt walk far when she met a secretary. Ms. Lin, the front desk called just now. They said that Ms. Qiao is here to see you. Let here up. Qiao Jiaxi must have been very enthusiastic, seeing as she came so early in the morning. As soon as the secretary left, Lu Shiyuan walked over. Lin Shanchu! Didnt anyone teach you what respect is? Were all shareholders of thepany. If I call you President Lu, you should call me President Lin, Lin Shanchu corrected him seriously. Naturally, Lu Shiyuan did not listen to her. He walked over angrily, but just as he was about to reach her, Li MO stretched out his hand to block him. Lu Shiyuans cold gaze swept across Li Mo. Li MO was someone who had been repeatedly trained by Huo Xunzhous death stare. How could he be afraid of Lu Shiyuan? Li MO raised his chin and confronted Lu Shiyuan directly. Furious, Lu Shiyuan turned around and questioned Lin Shanchu, How dare you agree with those geezers! Do you Imow what you are doing? I know. Lin Shanchu blinked innocently, Thepany belongs to everyone. Its best if everyone joins in to be productive and improve together. Lu Shiyuan narrowed his eyes and sized up Lin Shanchu. After a while, he suddenly realized something. Lin Shanchu, there has to be a limit to your madness! You should know that your parents worked hard for thispany Shut up! Lin Shanchu suddenly interrupted Lu Shiyuans words. You have no right to speak about them! Her gaze was like a sword as she stared at Lu Shiyuan. At this moment, Lu Shiyuan could clearly see the killing intent in Lin Shanchus eyes. How did you be like this Lu Shiyuan still couldnt ept that Lin Shanchu wanted him dead. Lin Shanchu had already sorted out her emotions. She stared at Lu Shiyuan and said softly, This is just the beginning. I will destroy everything you care about bit by bit. I will ruin your reputation and make you wish you were dead. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she shoved Lu Shiyuan away and strode away. Lu Shiyuan was so shocked by Lin Shanchus words that he couldnt react for a while. After a few seconds, when he finally reacted, Lin Shanchu and Li MO had already reached the elevator. The fact that Huo Xunzhou had his bodyguard follow Lin Shanchu every day was enough to show that the two of them were close. Lu Shiyuan shouted at Lin Shanchus back, Dont even think about getting rid of me! Dont forget your identity! You are my fiance! Lin Shanchu entered the elevator without looking back. Lu Shiyuans fiance. How disgusting. She had to get rid of this identity. Lin Shanchu went to the celebrity management department. Qiao Jiaxi was brought there. Lin Shanchu pushed open the lounge door. Qiao Jiaxi stood up the moment she saw her. Lin President Lin. Qiao Jiaxi subconsciously wanted to call her name, but she quickly remembered that Lin Shanchus identity was no longer the same as before. Qiao Jiaxi had obviously dressed up meticulously beforeing. Lin Shanchu looked at her with a vague smile. Do you know why I called you here? Qiao Jiaxis eyes shed as she shook her head. Nope. Hmm? Lin Shanchu looked up. Her expression did not change, nor did she show any signs of anger. However, Qiao Jiaxi was shocked by Lin Shanchus hum for no reason. You called me here because you want to sign me into yourpany, right? Qiao Jiaxi asked nervously. Youre quite clever, Lin Shanchuughed. Someone knocked on the door. Come in. The person who knocked on the door and entered was the celebrity director. President Lin, this is the contract you asked me to prepare. Lin Shanchu lifted her chin and pointed at Qiao Jiaxi. The celebrity director understood and handed the contract to Qiao Jiaxi. Ms. Qiao, this is the contract. Take a look.. Chapter 134 - 134: Did No One Teach You That It’s Rude to Speak Bad Behind Someone’s Back? Chapter 134: Did No One Teach You That Its Rude to Speak Bad Behind Someones Back? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Qiao Jiaxi looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. Lin Shanchu gestured for the celebrity director to leave. After the celebrity director left, Qiao Jiaxi asked, Why did you sign me? Because youre no worse than Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchus expression waszy, yet her tone was serious. This sentence resonated with Qiao Jiaxis truest thoughts. She had always thought that she was not inferior to Tang Qidai, but in the end, her career wasnt as sesstul as thetters. She tried to curry favor with Tang Qidai because she wanted to sign a contract with a bigpany like the Lu Corporation. As a result, Tang Qidai either dragged it out or refused to reply to her. Despite being overjoyed, Qiao Jiaxi pushed the contract away with thest bit of rationality she had. Theres bad blood between us. I refuse to believe that youre this kind. Its true that we have bad blood between us, and Im not a kind person. I signed you because of your ability. An outstanding person like you will definitely be famous in the future. Lin Shanchu was paying attention to Qiao Jiaxis expression as she spoke. Everyone loved ttery. Qiao Jiaxi raised her chin slightly, unable to hide the smile on her face. People like Qiao Jiaxi who were ambitious but did not know their own limits were the easiest to coax. Otherwise, Tang Qidai wouldnt have been able to make Qiao Jiaxi submit to her just like that. Everyone knew how to paint a rosy picture for others. As long as the picture was beautiful enough, anyone couldve thought that it was a dreame true. As one of the shareholders of thepany, the most important thing for me now is to show everyone some results, Lin Shanchu continued. She pushed the contract toward Qiao Jiaxi. I believe that you wont disappoint me. Lin Shanchus words were exactly what Qiao Jiaxi wanted to hear. Qiao Jiaxi had been coaxed into a daze, so shepletely believed Lin Shanchus words. Dont worry, I wont let you down. Qiao Jiaxi confidently picked up the pen and signed the contract. After signing the contract, Qiao Jiaxi said confidently, Ill definitely be more popr than Tang Qidai. Ill also find out what happened to Jing Ming. I trust you, Lin Shanchu replied with a smile. She believed that Qiao Jiaxi would definitely create more trouble for Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai. There was still more than a month before the recording of My Stage would end. In the meantime, she could only find someone else to y with Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu brought Qiao Jiaxi to meet the celebrity director. Just as they reached the door, they heard Tang Qidais voiceing from inside. Ill go up and look for Brother Shiyuan to help me resume my workter. Hurry up and arrange my schedule Qiao Jiaxi looked at Tang Qidai with disdain. She would soon rece that woman. Tang Qidai still had no idea what awaited her. Lin Shanchu nced at Qiao Jiaxi without batting an eyelid, then pushed the door open and entered. President Lin. The celebrity director immediately stood up. Tang Qidais expression changed when she saw Lin Shanchu, but she didnt greet her. Lin Shanchu walked up to Tang Qidai. Since youre so eager to resume your work, I think youre already well-adjusted. You may return to work. Lin Shanchus tone didnt contain any excessive emotions, but her attitude was very condescending. Tang Qidai had always had the upper hand in a confrontation between the two. However, things were different now. She had no choice but to swallow her anger. Tang Qidai replied indignantly, You dont have to worry about my work. Brother Shiyuan will arrange everything for me. How can I not worry? Were good friends, after all. Lin Shanchus smile was bright and alluring, but it sent chills down Tang Qidais spine. Lin Shanchu then instructed the celebrity director. Bring Kong Suyi back as well. She is, after all, an experienced manager in thepany. Although she has failed in her duties, everyone knows how capable she is. All right. Lin Shanchu pulled Qiao Jiahxi, who was behind her, to the front. This is Qiao Jiaxi. Shes a new celebrity Ive signed on to. Shes a pretty good newbie. When Im not around, please help me take care of her, Director. Qiao Jiaxi didnt expect Lin Shanchu to praise her in front of the celebrity director and even personally ask him to take care of her. It seemed that Lin Shanchu really valued her. Qiao Jiaxi walked forward with her head held high. Hello, Director. Im Qiao Jiaxi. Please take care of me. After she finished speaking, she stared straight at the director without a trace of humility in her tone. Hello. The celebrity director smiled calmly. Qiao Jiaxi had a small frame, so Tang Qidai didnt notice her when she was standing behind Lin Shanchu. Why are you here? Tang Qidai asked in surprise. Didnt you hear what President Lin said? Im her newest celebrity. Well be colleagues from now on, dear cousin. Qiao Jiaxi walked up to Tang Qidai provocatively. Jiaxi and Qidai are cousins? the celebrity director asked in surprise. Qiao Jiaxi spoke before Tang Qidai could. Thats right. Although my cousin is just a child my uncle adopted from an orphanage, were very close. Weve been together since we were young. Qiao Jiaxi also despised Tang Qidai from the bottom of her heart. She was just a mutt that no one wanted. She only got to where she was today because of Lu Shiyuans affection toward her. The only reason she was so close to Tang Qidai was that she wanted to bask in the Lu Corporations glory. Since she hadnt gotten anything out of it so far, she decided to expose Tang Qidais past as retaliation. It was a simple sentence, but it contained a lot of information. Tang Qidai debuted as a rich youngdy, and thepany also dropped some news and hints about her being born into a wealthy family. The truth was, the Tang family did run apany, but they were not considered wealthy. The celebrity director did not expect that Tang Qidai was not the Tang familys biological daughter. He had gone through a lot before, so he quickly calmed down. Thats nice. Both of you can take care of each other. You will definitely take good care of me, right cousin? Qiao Jiaxi deliberately hooked her arm around Tang Qidais arm. Tang Qidai resisted the urge to shake her off as she replied through gritted teeth, Dont worry, I will definitely take good care of you. In that case, let Kong Suyi take care of Jiaxi as well. What do you think, President Lin? The celebrity director smiled warmly. All right. Lin Shanchu nodded. Kong Suyi is experienced and capable. It wont be a problem for her to manage two celebrities. Qiao Jiaxi had already determined that Lin Shanchu valued her very much, so she felt that every decision Lin Shanchu made was for her own good. Naturally, there were no objections. Besides, if she had the same manager as Tang Qidai, wouldnt it be easier for her to steal Tang Qidais resources and rece her? Qiao Jiaxi was taken away by the celebrity director. Tang Qidai followed Lin Shanchu out of the office. She stopped thetter when they reached a deserted area. Lin Shanchu, did you deliberately nt that idiot Qiao Jiaxi into thepany? Stop dreaming! Shes no match for me at all! Lin Shanchu was clearly going to attack them head-on. She couldnt just remain as a sitting duck. She wanted Lin Shanchu to know that she wasnt someone that could be easily dealt with. Didnt anyone teach you that its rude to speak ill of others behind their backs? Lin Shanchu looked over Tang Qidais shoulder and behind her.. Chapter 135 - 135: Don’t Worry, I’m Here Chapter 135: Dont Worry, Im Here Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Tang Qidai seemed to have sensed something. Just as she was about to turn around to look behind him, she heard Qiao Jiaxis furious voice. Tang Qidai, who the f*ck are you calling an idiot? Qiao Jiaxi walked over and pped Tang Qidai. p! Since she was petite, she had to stand on her tiptoes in order to p Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu couldnt help butugh. Qiao Jiaxis temper was quite interesting. Herbat ability did not disappoint her. It was only her first day. First, she had exposed Tang Qidais background in the orphanage, and now, she had pped her. If she was smarter, she might really be famous. Lin Shanchu backed away from the duo. Li MO,e closer. Give them some space, she said after seeing Li MO not moving. Oh. Li MO retreated in a daze. He had only seen women fight in movies. However, it was all done through artistic maniption. This was the first time he saw two women fighting in real life. It was much more direct and violent than in the movies. They attacked each other immediately. Tang Qidai covered her flushed face. Qiao Jiaxi, who do you think you are? How dare you hit me! Who do you think you are? Im hitting you! Qiao Jiaxi raised her hand to hit Tang Qidai again. However, Qiao Jiaxi suffered because of her petite frame, so she didnt seed this time. However, she quickly grabbed Tang Qidais hair. Ahh! Let go of me! Tang Qidai shrieked and reached out to pull Qiao Jiaxis hair. Qiao Jiaxi tilted her head to dodge. The two of them began to circle around on the spot. Qiao Jiaxi asked as she dodged, Have you been calling me an idiot behind my back? Were you feeling smug when you saw me following you around like a bootlicker? Thats right! Im definitely smug, you idiot! Tang Qidai! I will definitely kill you! Lin Shanchu leaned against the wall and watched intently. The corners of her eyes slightly curved upward as she smiled. Whats going on over there? A mans voice came from not far away. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw that it was someone he knew. It was a pity that she couldnt continue watching Qiao Jiaxi and Tang Qidai fight. Director Li. Lin Shanchu spoke first. It was Director Li from the board of directors. He had a pretty woman with him, and the woman was holding his arm. No matter how one looked at it, their rtionship was not pure. When Director Li saw Lin Shanchu, he hurriedly broke free from the womans hand. Its you, President Lin. At this moment, another director also came over. She had originally sent Qiao Jiaxi over to call Tang Qidai for a meeting, but when she didnt see her for a long time, she came over herself. Qiao Jiaxi and Tang Qidai only released each other when they saw more and more people around them. Both of them were in a sorry state. The director frowned, but she did not say anything in front of so many people. Lin Shanchu nced at the woman behind Director Li. Director Li noticed her gaze and immediately introduced her with a smile, This is the new celebrity I signed for thepany. Shes not bad in all aspects, so I want to focus on nurturing her. Shes quite decent. The woman looked delicate and soft, which seemed to suit Director Lis taste. This is thepanys president, President Lin. Director Li pulled the woman to him. Hello, President Lin. The womans voice was as soft as her appearance. Lin Shanchu smiled as she sized her up, then reached out to beckon Qiao Jiaxi over. Qiao Jiaxi tidied her hair and walked over obediently. Director Li, this is my new celebrity. What do you think? Qiao Jiaxi was also petite and charming. She was the same type as the woman hehind Director T .i Not bad. Director Li looked her up and down. Then Ill have to ask Director Li to take care of her while Im away. Lin Shanchu smiled. Tang Qidai was right about one thing. Qiao Jiaxi was not her match at all. With Qiao Jiaxis brain, she would be eliminated by Tang Qidai in three to five days if Lin Shanchu. didnt give her some help. Director Lis gaze swept over Qiao Jiaxi. Leave her to me. Dont worry! Qiao Jiaxi was very understanding and smiled at Director Li shyly. Thank you, Director Li. Tang Qidai was able to get close to Lu Shiyuan and rise to fame as a result. Lin Shanchu had taken a liking to her. If she managed to hook up with another shareholder, wouldnt she be able to soar higher than Tang Qidai? Once everyone left, Tang Qidai went upstairs to look for Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuans office was still being renovated, so he found a meeting room to temporarily work in. Tang Qidai tidied her clothes at the doorway and blinked hard in order to squeeze out some tears. Then, she pushed the door open and entered the meeting room. Brother Shiyuan Lu Shiyuan was looking at thepanys stock price. After several consecutive days of falling, it finally stopped falling today. However, this did not make Lu Shiyuans mood better. Instead, it became worse. He had spent so much effort to make the Lu Corporation the industry leader of Xu City. Lin Shanchu had only spent a few days to cause the stock price to drop so much. It caused the Lu Corporations stock price to evaporate by billions. Lu Shiyuan was extremely frustrated. However, when he saw that Tang Qidai hade into the meeting room, he suppressed his impatience. Qidai, whats wrong? He stood up and walked toward Tang Qidai. Im fine. Tang Qidai shook her head with teary eyes. She blinked as tears began to well up in her eyes. She looked especially pitiful. Did Lin Shanchu cause you trouble? Lu Shiyuan frowned. Tang Qidai shook her head. Actually, I dont care if Shanshanes looking for trouble with me. What saddens me is that shepletely ignores your authority and signs any artist to thepany Youve been nothing but good to her. Just what does she view your rtionship with her as As Tang Qidai spoke, she threw herself into Lu Shiyuans arms and sobbed softly. Tang Qidai voiced out what Lu Shiyuan had been thinking the whole time. He knew that he had not mistreated Lin Shanchu. Yet, Lin Shanchu had repaid his kindness with ingratitude by causing so much trouble just to deal with him. Im sorry, Qidai. Ive made you suffer. Lu Shiyuan hugged Tang Qidai gently. Im fine. Its just that Ive lost a lot of endorsements and jobs recently. Its affecting my mood a little, but Ill continue to work hard to get them back. This aggrieved yet strong appearance made Lu Shiyuan feel distressed. Dont worry, Im here, Lu Shiyuan whispered. Tang Qidai, who was nestled in Lu Shiyuans arms, lowered her eyes and smiled. She knew Lu Shiyuans temper very well. As long as she pretended to be pitiful, shed a few tears, and said something that she did not mean, he would give her everything she wanted without her even needing to say anything. Over the years, she had used this trick all the time, but Lu Shiyuan continued to fall for it every single time. After Lin Shanchu left the Lu Corporation, she bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the cemetery to visit Jing Ming. The young man in the picture had clean and delicate eyes. He had a bright future, yet he now slept forever in the cemetery Lin Shanchu looked at it for a long time before sighing. We both want to do the same thing. You might have failed, but Ill definitely seed. Just you wait and see. She and Jing Ming were both unfortunate. At the same time, she was lucky.. Chapter 136 - 136: She Will Retract Her Claws, Act Coquettishly, and Do Anything Chapter 136: She Will Retract Her ws, Act Coquettishly, and Do Anything Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It was almost lunchtime when Lin Shanchu left the cemetery. Huo Xunzhou sent her a WeChat message. Huo Xunzhou: Lets have lunch together. Huo Xunzhou: What about Yong Shui Pavilion? She hadnt been paying attention to her phone before, so Huo Xunzhou had sent her two messages in a row. Lin Shanchu thought about it and replied, [Lets eat at home.] Although she couldnt take down Lu Shiyuan this time, Huo Xunzhou did help her a lot. She couldnt repay Huo Xunzhou, so she could only cook him another meal before returning to the production crew. Huo Xunzhou replied instantly, [Okay.] Lin Shanchu realized that her answer sounded a little weird. She replied again, [Yes, Ill eat at your house.] Huo Xunzhou replied, [Oh.] It was a very simple word, but it seemed to have a deep meaning. Before going back, Lin Shanchu went to the mobile store. She bought herself a new phone. Nan Mu only found out that Lin Shanchu would continue recording after watching the news. She called Huo Xunzhou to ask about the situation and found out that Lin Shanchu was going back to the production team tonight, so she came over for lunch. Li MO had a disagreement with Nan Mu because of Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus marriage, so he didnt really want him there. What are von doing here? Li MO stopped Nan Mil at the kitchen door- Nan Mu adjusted his tie and said smugly, Im here to discuss something with Lin Shanchu and also to bring her back to the production team. Im her boss now, you know. Li MO heard his words and shouted into the kitchen, Big Brother, Nan Mu said Nan Mu pushed Li MO away and smiled in a ttering manner. Xunzhou, youve made so much food. You need someone to wash the dishes, right? Im the best at washing dishes! Youre shameless. The corner of Li MOs mouth twitched. The shameless man known as Nan Mu was able to earn himself another free meal. After dinner, he went to the kitchen to do the dishes without Huo Xunzhou urging him. Lin Shanchu went upstairs to pack her things. After she was done packing, she opened the door and saw Huo Xunzhou leaning against the wall. Their eyes met. You want to talk to me about something? Lin Shanchu asked first. Yes. Huo Xunzhou nodded. Why didnt he knock on the door if that was the case? Huo Xunzhou put his hand to his lips and cleared his throat before saying, I have a lot of things to deal with recently. I probably wont be recording any more shows. Back then, he had gone to My Stage to be a stage witness because the original stage witness could not go. Nan Mu spent a long time begging and convincing him to take the job. Huo Xunzhou seemed to be very busy all the time, so it was normal that he didnt have time to record the show. It was just that she didnt know what the man was busy with all day. It felt mysterious. After Lin Shanchu was done speaking, she grabbed her things and was about to leave. However, Huo Xunzhou was still standing at the doorway. She couldnt get past him. Is there anything else? Lin Shanchu looked up at him. Huo Xunzhou stared at her for two seconds. Then, he slowly moved to the side to make way for Lin Shanchu. [Ding! The host has less than ten days of full health left!] The sudden system notification in her mind made Lin Shanchu freeze in her tracks. How could it be less than ten days so soon? Calcte it again! She felt that the system was trying to trick her. The System replied, [The health point list has been listed. Please take a look.] The list was very easy to read and listed everything clearly. It recorded the timestamps and everything that Lin Shanchu had done during this period of time. The system was different after the upgrade. It was already so efficient. The system replied, [Please recharge your health card as soon as possible to ensure your health. The host can exchange health points in the following ways: 1) Follow the plot. 2) Progress the rtionship.] Of course, she was given two choices. There was no need to choose. Lin Shanchu turned around. Huo Xunzhou wondered why Lin Shanchu didnt leave. Whats wrong? Thud! Lin Shanchu loosened her grip, causing the things in her hands to fall to the ground. She slowly took a step forward. She wasnt far from Huo Xunzhou in the first ce. After taking a step forward, she was so close to Huo Xunzhou that she could kiss him if she leaned forward slightly. Huo Xunzhou wasnt unfamiliar with this situation. His expression did not change, but he involuntarily moved his hands behind his back. If youre no longer recording the show, will you stille to visit me? Lin Shanchus voice was soft. She was like a cat that was acting cute in front of its owner. Huo Xunzhou was slightly startled and vaguely felt that something was wrong. The woman in front of him had clear eyes. She looked at him with wide eyes, making her look innocent and cute. Huo Xunzhou felt that no man would be able to reject her. If I have time So you wonte to see me? Huo Xunzhou was speechless. Brother Xunzhou, wont you miss me? Lin Shanchu kept saying things that made her seem like she was reluctant to part ways with Huo Xunzhou, but there was no such emotion in her eyes. She was clearly lying, but her eyes were clean and innocent. Just like a cat. She was the best at coaxing people. Whenever she wanted something from Huo Xunzhou, she would retract her ws, act coquettishly, and do everything she could to achieve her goals. She had said so much to him. It was not because she was reluctant to part with him, nor was it because she simply wanted him to visit her. Her goal was only to get him to visit the studio. He didnt know what she would request him to do next. It was hard to get close to cats. She still did not trust him. Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes slightly to hide the emotions in his eyes. Shanshan, if you miss me, Ill rush over to visit you no matter how busy I am. His lowered maic voice sounded affectionate. However, if one were to pay attention to it, they would feel he was being cold and distant. Lin Shanchu sighed inwardly. Huo Xunzhou was a good man, but he was too smart. Last time, in the infirmary of the production team, she had unexpectedly kissed his hand. This time, she didnt want to be so abrupt. She wanted to change her approach. Unfortunately, Huo Xunzhou saw through her thoughts. He wasnt up to it. There was no other way. It wasnt her fault. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath. She raised her hand and mmed it against the wall beside Huo Xunzhou. Her body leaned forward as she moved, and she was even closer to Huo Xunzhou. She could kiss him now if she were to raise her head. It was a perfect posture that pinned him to the wall. Huo Xunzhou stared back silently while leaning away from her. He tilted his head slightly, his alluring eyes slightly narrowed. They didnt harbor any emotions. He was so calm that he didnt look like someone who got pinned to the wall. He didnt move away or cower from her. In fact, he looked like he was submissive and could let people do whatever they wanted. However, Lin Shanchu still felt an invisible pressureing from him. In the silent confrontation, Lin Shanchu decided to take the lead no matter how oppressed she felt. Extending her life was the most important! Lin Shanchu stood on her tiptoes and kissed Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou froze for a moment, which was a rare sight. Then, he quickly reacted by turning his face away. Lin Shanchus kissnded on Huo Xunzhous face. Did he just hide? Lin Shanchu was excited. She tilted her head and kissed Huo Xunzhou again. Huo Xunzhou dodged again. The two of them were in a stalemate for a while. In the end, Huo Xunzhou eximed exasperatedly, Lin Shanchu, if you keep doing this, Im going to be very angry at you! Chapter 137 - 137: She Had Herself to Blame Chapter 137: She Had Herself to me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu looked up at him. The first thing she saw was the mans smooth and beautiful jawline. Further up were the beautiful and alluring eyes which were filled with anger but became even more charming. She would rather die in this mans embrace. It was the most realistic reflection of Lin Shanchus current mood. Go ahead. Be angry. She had to kiss Huo Xunzhou today! She kissed him again after she was done speaking. You This was the first time Huo Xunzhou was so angry that he couldnt speak. He raised a hand, wanting to push Lin Shanchu away. However, when his hand touched Lin Shanchus shoulder, it was as if his hand became sentient. He pressed down on her shoulder, but he never pushed her away. Ille and see you as soon as Im free, Huo Xunzhou said, a little defeated. It was clear that he had surrendered. However, Lin Shanchu decided to change her strategy at thest minute. You dont have toe and see me. Just let me kiss you. Thest time she kissed his hand, she ended up progressing their rtionship. If she kissed somewhere else this time, then the effect should be more obvious. She should be able tost until the end of the recording of My Stage. Huo Xunzhou closed his eyes. How could he forget? This woman was the best at overstepping the line. Naturally, Lin Shanchu was not as strong as him. After he pressed her shoulders down, she would end up getting pressed down again whenever she used all of her strength to stand on her tiptoes. Ill visit you during your second public showdown. Huo Xunzhou was still trying to persuade her. Do as you please. She would not stop until she kissed him today. Lin Shanchu nced at Huo Xunzhous waist. When Huo Xunzhou wasnt paying attention, she reached out and ced her hand on Huo Xunzhous waist, gently stroking it. Lin Shanchu! It was obvious from his voice that Huo Xunzhou was really angry this time. His expression darkened. He withdrew his hand from her shoulder before grabbing her hand that was on his waist. Lin Shanchu grabbed his hand immediately and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. She did everything in one go. She didnt even give Huo Xunzhou a chance to react. The warm and soft touch on her lips disappeared in an instant. Huo Xunzhou was still holding Lin Shanchus hand at that time. A look of helplessness shed across his handsome and indifferent face before it disappeared. He looked down at Lin Shanchu, his eyes cold and dangerous. Lin Shanchu knew that she had offended him. She blinked nervously and pretended to be calm as she tried to pull her hand back. But before she could do that back, she was pressed against the wall. Huo Xunzhou didnt say a word. He didnt even blink as he pinned her against the wall. A smart woman should know when to yield. Im sorry. Lin Shanchu bit her lip and looked at Huo Xunzhou innocently. In the past, whenever she was rehearsing at school, everyone said that she looked the most pitiful and would trigger everyones sympathy whenever she made that face. But she had forgotten. At that time, Lin Shanchu was really pitiful. Huo Xunzhou, who was already familiar with her nature, would not be fooled by her appearance. Just when she thought Huo Xunzhou wouldnt speak again, he asked unhurriedly, Sorry for what? His tone was gentle and calm. Lin Shanchu tried to break free again. However, no matter how hard she tried, Huo Xunzhous hand was like an iron mp. I was wrong. If she couldnt win, she could only continue ying the role of the submissive person. Why do you think its your fault, dear Shanshan? Huo Xunzhousughter was so gentle that it made Lin Shanchus scalp tingle. Its all my fault. I didnt teach you well. The hot breath he exhaled as he spoke was sprayed onto her ears. She quivered as if she had been electrocuted. Can you let go of me first, Brother Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu blinked while pleading pitifully. My hands are numb. As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shanchu felt the grip on her hand loosen. Delighted, she thought that Huo Xunzhou would let her go. However, the next second she knew Nope. The rising tone revealed a sense of pride as if he had seeded in his prank. Was this man toying with her as though she was a cat? How childish and boring! Youre weak if you resort to bullying women! Lin Shanchu red at him. You were the one who bullied me first. Huo Xunzhous smile deepened. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Thats right. She was the one who bullied Huo Xunzhou first. If Huo Xunzhou hadnt shown his indulgence toward her, she wouldnt have dared to kiss him directly. She had no one to me but herself. Lin Shanchu replied righteously, Well, you didnt resist at all! Huo Xunzhou was furious. If he didnt teach her a lesson today, she would definitely do more outrageous things to him in the future. Huo Xunzhou freed up a hand, grabbed her chin, and slowly leaned down. Lin Shanchu blinked quickly. Sh*t! What was this man doing? Was he going to kiss her? Let go of me! Lin Shanchus heart raced. As expected, it did not feel good to be kissed forcefully. Huo Xunzhous eyes darkened and he didnt listen to her anymore. The atmosphere became ambiguous. Big brother, just now sh*t! Sorry to bother you! Li Mos sudden appearance shattered the atmosphere. Lin Shanchu took the opportunity to push Huo Xunzhou away and ran away. She was starting to look flustered. When she ran past Li MO, she identally bumped into him. Ms. Lin.. Lin Shanchu ran so fast that before Li MO could call her, she had already disappeared from his sight. Li MO carefully turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. He saw Huo Xunzhou loosening his tie in frustration. He was a little scared. He seemed to have ruined Big Brothers ns. Li MO didnt dare to speak anymore. He turned around and tried to disappear quietly, pretending that he had never been there. As soon as he took his first step carefully, Huo Xunzhou quickly walked over and passed him. Li MO was speechless. Was he invisible? Both of them ignored him. Nan Mu had finished washing the dishes and was ying games in the hall. He realized that it was Lin Shanchu, who was empty-handed. Didnt you go up to pack your things? Lin Shanchu had said that he was going upstairs to pack his things. After packing for so long, why did shee down empty-handed? Lin Shanchu didnt seem to hear his voice as she ran straight to the kitchen. Question marks appeared above Nan Mus head. What was going on? Nan Mu got up and followed. He saw Lin Shanchu drinking from a ss of water. Her face was also red. Are you all right? Nan Mu asked worriedly. Lin Shanchu finished a ss of water in one go. Then, she mmed the ss back onto the counter She looked up at Nan Mu expressionlessly. Lets go. Didnt you say youd leave at night? Nan Mu looked at the time. Lin Shanchu was still expressionless. I want to record the show. I miss Yun Wu, the director, and the others. She walked out after that. Then, her walk slowly became a run. Nan Mu scratched his head. No matter how he looked at it, he didnt think that Lin Shanchu would miss them terribly. Whatever. Lin Shanchu was the key element of the shows poprity. The director did mention that he would go on strike if Lin Shanchu didnt return to the studio. Nan Mu decided to take her there first.. Chapter 138 - 138: One Of You is Starting to Develop Feelings For the Other Chapter 138: One Of You is Starting to Develop Feelings For the Other Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu had already disappeared. Nan Mu thought that he should at least tell Huo Xunzhou that he was leaving. As soon as he turned around, he saw Huo Xunzhouing down with a suitcase. Xunzhou, we Wheres Lin Shanchu? She already left. Nan Mu pointed outside. Huo Xunzhou was about to chase after her when Nan Mu added, She couldnt wait to go out. She said that she really wanted to go back and record the show. Huo Xunzhou stopped in his tracks. The reason why Nan Mu said this was to prove his innocence. He wanted to make it clear that she was the one who wanted to leave. It had nothing to do with him. However, it was obvious that his words had the opposite effect. Huo Xunzhou looked at him expressionlessly before handing the luggage over to Nan Mil. Nan Mu silently epted it. Wait here, Huo Xunzhou said. Huo Xunzhou turned around and went to the kitchen. Soon, he came out with a lunchbox. Nan Mu quietly opened it and saw that it was Lin Shanchus lunch. He thought that Huo Xunzhou had specially packed it for him and was so touched that he almost cried on the spot. Xunzhou, you are my She prepared it for Yun Wu. Huo Xunzhous emotionless voice made Nan Mu swallow the words true brother that he hadnt had the chance to say. Im leaving. Nan Mu sighed. He was thinking too much. Nan Mu then realized Huo Xunzhou didnt follow him after walking a few steps away. Arent you going to send Lin Shanchu off? he asked. Huo Xunzhou turned around and went upstairs. Li MO, who didnt dare toe over after going downstairs, finally dared toe forward. Ill send her off. He lowered his voice and lowered his presence in front of Huo Xunzhou. Does she even want you to send her off? Nan Mu scoffed. Huo Xunzhous figure had already disappeared, but Li MO still lowered his voice. Whats wrong with me sending Sister-inw off? Whats wrong? Nan Mu felt strange. Why are you so guilty? Li MO thought for a moment. He had ruined Big Brothers ns. Thetter was already merciful enough not to kill him. If he were to spread this matter, hed havemitted another sin. In the end, Li MO shook his head. He snatched the things from Nan Mus hands and walked out. Ms. Lin. Lin snau, wno was sitting m me car ana was Iosc m ner tnougncs, was pulled back to reality by Li Mots voice. Li MO opened the car door and ced her things inside. Thank you, Lin Shanchu said with aplicated expression. She was so flustered that she forgot to take her things. Youre wee. Come back often when youre free. Li Mos face was still emotionless like a robot, but his hands clung to the car door reluctantly. He looked like a puppy waiting to be fed. Yes. Lin Shanchu was surprised. Didnt they just eat? Li MO couldnt help but feel sad when he thought about how he would have to eat takeout every day. You have toe back often! he said again as if to confirm. Youre so naggy. Lets go. Nan Mu walked over and closed the car door. Li MO stepped aside and looked in the direction of Huo Xunzhous study. Big Brother must be secretly hiding there to send Ms. Lin off. Big Brother was sometimes so hypocritical. Nan Mu drove away from the vi area. Lin Shanchu calmed down and checked her health. [Congrattions to the host for sessfully replenishing Health Points for 45 days.] That many? She suspected that the system was giving out health points based on her mood. The system sensed Lin Shanchus thoughts and denied, [No, its because the hosts interaction with the opposite sex triggered the affection value. The additional reward is twenty-three days.] In other words, she had only earned twenty-two days with Huo Xunzhou, excluding the reward. The rewardsted me for a month after getting into a scandal with him, though. There were only twenty-two days, excluding the additional rewards. Was Huo Xunzhou that worthless? The system replied, [The missionpletion rate of the rtionship line is linked to the affection value. The affection value determines the missionpletion rate, so the additional reward will be more lucrative than the original health value.] Lin Shanchu stopped arguing with it. After all, arguing wouldnt change the rules. What do you mean by affection rate? Lin Shanchu asked. The systems mechanical voice suddenly became cunning. [As the name implies, it means that one of you is starting to develop feelings for the other.] Lin Shanchu was speechless. It wasnt her anyway. It was also unlikely for Huo Xunzhou well, maybe The wretched system searched for articles like A Guide to Flirting for Lin Shanchu to read. Ill block you if you dont shut up. The system replied, [Okay.] The world fell silent. But Lin Shanchus phone rang again. It was Qiao Jiaxi. Why did thepany choose Tang Qidai as the brand ambassador for a luxury brand? Didnt you say that you wanted to support me? How could this be? What exactly are you Qiao Jiaxi questioned hysterically. Lin Shanchu rubbed her ears and moved her phone further away. But Qiao Jiaxis voice was too loud. Even if she didnt turn on the speaker Nan Mu looked confused and shot a look at her that meant whos that. Lin Shanchu didnt n to conceal it. She ced her phone on speaker mode. As soon as the speaker was turned on, Qiao Jiaxis sharp voice came from the phone. Lin Shanchu, say something! She was so anxious that she didnt refer to Lin Shanchu as President Lin. Why are you so anxious? Calm down and be more mature. Youll get what you need. Lin Shanchus voice was so gentle that it didnt have a trace of warmth. Qiao Jiaxin instantly felt an invisible pressureing from the voice itself. So, she stopped fighting immediately. Even her tone was more respectful and humble. I understand, President Lin. Tang Qidai is a veteran in thepany, so its normal for her to be given more resources. Although youre a neer, youre smart and outstanding. As long as you work hard, youll get the same resources as Tang Qidai sooner orter, wont you? Lin Shanchuforted Qiao Jiaxi softly. Qiao Jiaxi was very pleased with the words. She was like a cat whose fur had been stroked, and her voice softened. I understand. Good luck. Do your best, Lin Shanchu said meaningfully. As for how hard Qiao Jiaxi worked, it had nothing to do with her. Whether Qiao Jiaxi wanted to rely on her own strength or nder Tang Qidai to get rid of her resources, that was her own business. Nan Mu had heard their conversation clearly. Lin Shanchu had the youngdypletely under control with just a few words. This made Nan Mu, Lin Shanchus current boss, feel a little guilty. Who was that? he asked, clearing his throat. Qiao Jiaxi. Lin Shanchu opened Weibo and saw a marketing ount announcing that Tang Qidai was going to be the spokesperson for a certain luxury brand. The news had already been released, so it was probably a done deal. Lin Shanchu wasnt surprised. After all, she had targeted Tang Qidai in every way she could and even stopped her from working. It waspletely within her expectations that Lu Shiyuans heart would ache so much that he would use resources topensate her. Nan Mu thought about it for a long time but still couldnt remember who Qiao Jiaxi was. She sounds familiar.. Chapter 139 - 139: They Are Useless Other Than Being Handsome and Rich Chapter 139: They Are Useless Other Than Being Handsome and Rich Nan Mu usually dealt with many people. It was normal that he couldnt remember who Qiao Jiaxi was. Lin Shanchu reminded him, Qiao Jiaxi is the one who withdrew from My Stage at thest minute and ndered me for stealing her spot during the Droaacasc. Oh, her. Nan Mu finally remembered Qiao Jiaxi. I signed her to the Lu Corporation, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. Nan Mu was confused at first, but then he understood Lin Shanchus intention. She was trying to stir up the Lu Corporation. Ever since the production team had sent Lin Shanchus team to the studio to shoot themercial, things had been developing rapidly. Before Nan Mu could react, Lin Shanchu had already weakened Lu Shiyuans strength and started stirring up trouble. Thinking of this, Nan Mu could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Fortunately, he was on the same team as Lin Shanchu. Nan Mu didnt dare to ask anymore. Seeing that Lin Shanchu was still browsing Weibo, he reminded her, After you enter the production crews training camp, your phone will be confiscated. Got it. Lin Shanchu didnt even raise her head. She had already bought a spare phone anyway. Lin Shanchus cooperative attitude pleased Nan Mu greatly. Even though Lin Shanchu was already apanys president, she still followed the rules. The woman that Xunzhou fancied were different. Humble and stylish. Nan Mu had contacted the director, Song Yiming before he came back. As a director who worked hard for the viewership ratings, he already set up the camera in advance while waiting for the key element of popritys return. Hence, when Lin Shanchu returned to the training camp, she saw the familiar cameraman right away. Youre back. Hello, everyone. Im back. Lin Shanchu waved at the camera. The cameraman followed her into the house. The director and his crew were guarding the entrance of her dormitory. Song Yiming, who had been frowning ever since the viewership ratings plummeted a few days ago, never stopped smiling after seeing Lin Shanchu. He even personally went up to take Lin Shanchus phone. President Lin, please be more self-aware. Hand over your phone right now. Lin Shanchu generously handed her phone to Song Yiming. Song Yiming took the phone and looked at Lin Shanchu with mixed feelings. Did she hand over her phone so easily? The director didnt feel a sense of aplishment at all. Song Yiming pointed at Lin Shanchus luggage. Are there any prohibited items? Lin Shanchu only packed two sets of clothes and nothing else. Song Yiming looked at her simple and shabby luggage before asking with mixed feelings, Is that all? Yup. Why dont you return my phone? Lin Shanchu nodded. Of course, not! Song Yiming immediately put the phone into his pocket. Then, he saw the lunchbox. Whats that? Lin Shanchu unboxed it in front of the camera right away. My food. She was at Huo Xunzhous house at noon. After she finished cooking, she took a lunchbox and packed a portion of it in advance. That lunchbox was prepared for Yun Wu. Anything else that was brought in would be confiscated. Yun Wu did notck anvthing else. She loved eating. Lin Shanchu opened the lunchbox and was stunned when she saw the ice pack inside. When she left Huo Xunzhous house, she had forgotten to bring her lunch box. Li MO had helped her bring it out. Li MO wasnt a meticulous person. Nan Mu did not look like such a meticulous person. Lin Shanchu couldnt help but smile. The staff also came over curiously. If the other female students had the chance, they would have at least stuffed two bags of snacks. If they could, they would bring makeup, jewelry, and clothes as well. Lin Shanchu came in with food. The staff looked at the delicious food in the ss lunchbox enviously. It looks delicious. Who prepared this? The director was older, which made him shameless. He rubbed his hands while asking, Why dont you let everyone have a taste? Lin Shanchu stuffed the lunchbox back into the bag and zipped it up. I brought this for Yun Wu. Everyone thought that Lin Shanchu had brought it for herself, but they didnt expect it to be for Yun Wu. Moreover, it was obvious that this lunchbox was not bought. You made it yourself? the director asked, looking quite stunned. Yes. Lin Shanchu held the lunchbox firmly. The director instantly felt a sense of affection for Lin Shanchu. She was already a president, yet her luggage was shabby. Even the gift she prepared for her best friend was very simplistic. It really wasnt easy for her. All right, fine. I wont confiscate this thing. You can keep it for Yun Wu. Since the director had spoken, no one said anything else. Once the production crew, Yun Wu arrived. She had run all the way here, so the hair on her forehead was drenched in sweat. Shanshan! Lin Shanchu was packing her things at that time. She turned around and smiled at her. Were you practicing in the training room? Yeah. Yun Wu pulled out a chair and sat down beside Lin Shanchu, looking at her with eager eyes. Why are you looking at me like that? I heard that you brought me some food. Yun Wu had a look of anticipation on her face. Hmm? The news spread so quickly. Seeing Lin Shanchus confusion, Yunwu exined, Everyone knows about it. At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside. The next second, Ning Yunxi appeared at the door. Youre back, Big Sister! She pulled a chair over and sat down on the other side of Lin Shanchu. The other students also came over to greet Lin Shanchu. It was really as lively as returning home. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Xia Jinmeng standing outside the crowd. Xia Tinmeng met Lin Shanchus gaze and looked away unnaturally. Then. she turned around and left. After exchanging pleasantries with the students, the others left. Ning Yunxi saw Wen Tongtong standing at the doorway. Big Sister, Wen Tongtong is here to see you too. Lin Shanchu looked over at Wen Tongtong, who spoke up uneasily. Im just here to tell that useless Ning Yunxi to go practice her dance. Ning Yunxi was speechless. She wrinkled her nose as she said to Lin Shanchu, Then Ill be leaving first, Big Sister. Ning Yunxi reluctantly left with Wen Tongtong. Lin Shanchu retracted her gaze, soon realizing that Yun Wu had already picked up her cutlery. Shanshan, lets eat! Amused, Lin Shanchu handed her the lunchbox. Yun Wu carried the lunchbox and pulled Lin Shanchu to the cafeteria to use the microwave there in order to heat up the food. The servingdy was preparing dinner. Seeing Yun Wue to heat up the food, she frowned and asked, Didnt you just have lunch two hours ago? Im young, so I digest quickly. The servingdy was speechless. She decided to ept Yun Wus excuse. After the food was heated, Yun Wu took her first bite, only to widen her eyes. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and tilted er head. Is it not to your liking? Yun Wu shook her head frantically. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she looked at Lin Shanchu with a serious expression that thetter had never seen before. Shanshan, my brothers are useless other than being rich and handsome! You should consider taking me as partner instead of them! Chapter 140 - 140: Don ‘t Joke Around Like This Next Time, Others Will Misunderstand You Chapter 140: Don t Joke Around Like This Next Time, Others Will Misunderstand You Lin Shanchu blinked and said with augh, Its okay. I like handsome and rich men. I have money too! Yun Wu dug into her pockets as well. Unfortunately, she had no money on her right now. When she entered the training camp, the staff took away all the things that she did not need. They would only return them to her after the show ended. As if she was worried that Lin Shanchu would think she was bragging, Yun Wu added in a more serious tone, Its true! Lin Shanchu was amused by her. I believe you. Hurry up and eat. After Yun Wu finished her meal, Lin Shanchu rested with her for a while before going to look for the director. She did not participate in the recording of the song selection for the second public showdown and the release of the newest rankings, so she had to discuss that issue now. Theres still one spot for the team that only has one bad. Do you want to join this group right away, or do you want to choose something else? The director handed the song list to Lin Shanchu. Bads were disadvantageous during public showdowns. It was better to sing and dance on stage, which was also a test of ones foundation. Therefore, no one wanted to choose bads. Ill choose something else. Lin Shanchu took the song list and found Xia Jinmengs name. This one. The director came over to take a look and asked with a strange expression, Are you really going to choose Love Me? Is there a problem with this song? The director took out his phone and yed the dance video of Love Me for Lin Shanchu. Both the song and the dance were decent. The style was seductive and alluring, which was something Lin Shanchu had never tried before. After Lin Shanchu finished watching it, she praised from the bottom of her heart, Wow! This dance is so hot! Are you sure you still want to choose this? Most celebrities had their own style and character. Normally, they would not easily step out of theirfort zone to try other things because most of them would fail. Even if they wanted to try something else, they would do it slowly. They would never transition so suddenly. Lin Shanchu was born with a pure and innocent face. She didnt look like the type to perform hot dances. Yeap. Lin Shanchu returned the song list to the director. Ill go and bond with my new groupmates. The director watched helplessly as Lin Shanchu walked toward the training room. It was only after Lin Shanchu had disappeared that the director took out his phone and called Nan Mu. President Nan, Lin Shanchu chose Love Me. Okay. Youre the boss. Arent you going to control her? Nan Mu stopped what he was doing. Is there a problem with Love Me? The director patiently exined to Nan Mu how sexy and hot this dance was. It wasnt Lin Shanchus style. If it went wrong, the consequences would be very serious. Thats good, Nan Mu replied. The anticipation meter for the second public showdown will be maxed out. The director was confused. Nan Mu: Shoot more scenes. The audience loves them. The director was speechless. Dont worry, Lin Shanchu can definitely do it. Even Lu Shiyuan was no match for Lin Shanchu. Not to mention a hot dance. In the training room of Love Me, the students all stopped when they saw Lin Shanchu enter. Xia Jinmeng was resting at the side, so she did not notice Lin Shanchu immediately. After she noticed that everyone had stopped, she followed their line of sight and saw Lin Shanchu slowly walking over. What are you doing here? Xia Jinmeng stood up. Im here to practice my dance. Lin Shanchu smiled calmly. Then, she turned to look at the other team members. Sorry about that. All of you may need to readjust your dance segments and positions since I joined at the veryst minute, but theres no need to worry. I will try my best to keep up with everyones progress. Lin Shanchu might sound apologetic, but it sounded like a notice to the others. However, her tone was frank and straightforward, and it did not make people feel ufortable. Besides, Lin Shanchu had won first ce for two consecutive episodes. She was free to choose whichever group she wanted. Those who were inferior to her would have to acknowledge her superior skills. The other groupmates were very polite to Lin Shanchu, except for Xia Jinmeng. Its fine. Weve only practiced for about three days. Her groupmates were polite on the outside, but deep down, they were very puzzled. Everyone in the production crew knew that Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng had a feud. There were so many songs to choose from, but she chose to be paired with Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng stood at the side without saying anything. She didnt understand what Lin Shanchu was up to. At this moment, a staff member from the production crew walked into the room. They announce Lin Shanchus participation in Love Me. Only then did everyone confirm that Lin Shanchu really wanted to join Love Everyone in the group other than Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng had yet to be enlisted on the debut list. Even if they practiced until they vomited blood, it was still impossible for them to snatch Lin Shanchus first ce. This way, they wouldnt have any conflict of interest with Lin Shanchu, and they might even be able to get more exposure. The other teammates exchanged a few polite words with Lin Shanchu before going off to practice their dance. Only Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng stood where they were. Xia Jinmeng had already fallen out with Lin Shanchu previously, so she was toozy to keep up the pretenses with her. The moment she decided to speak, her words were spat out rudely. Lin Shanchu, are you crazy? There were so many good songs to choose from, but Lin Shanchu just had to be in the same group as her. If she wasnt crazy, then what was she nning? Yeah, Lin Shanchu replied with a smile. After she finished speaking, she began to warm up in front of Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng choked on her words. She suspected that Lin Shanchu was deliberately making things difficult for her. After Lin Shanchu finished warming up, she walked up to Xia Jinmeng and requested, Teach me the dance steps. Xia Jinmengs eyes instantly lit up with pride. No matter how arrogant Lin Shanchu was, she still had to beg her. You should act like it if youre begging for help. Xia Jinmeng lowered her voice. Lin Shanchu didnt even blink. She just raised her voice instead. If you dont want to teach me, Ill go find someone else then. Xia Jinmengs expression changed as she hurriedly interrupted Lin Shanchu. I was just joking with you! Dont take it seriously! The smile on her face was as forced as it could be. But there was no other way. Although there was no livestream at the moment, there were cameras recording the entire process. The production crew had also gone crazy for the sake of the viewership ratings. Who knew if the editors would secretly include this part in the final footage? If that were to happen, theizens could easily drown her with criticism. Xia Jinmeng still wanted to be famous, so she couldnt ruin her image. Dont joke around like this next time. People will misunderstand you, Lin Shanchu stated sincerely. Xia Jinmeng was speechless. Lin Shanchu was definitely here to make things difficult for her! F*ck! Suppressing her anger, a reluctant Xia Jinmeng began to teach Lin Shanchu the dance steps. Since Lin Shanchu was just starting the practice, she was not familiar with the dance, so she would asionally miss some moves. Xia Jinmeng thought that her chance for revenge hade. This action isnt difficult at all. Why cant you Xia Jinmeng wanted to mock Lin Shanchu for not knowing how to pull the step off properly. Unfortunately, Xia Jinmeng was interrupted by Lin Shanchu halfway through her sarcastic words. Youre so amazing. You can dance so well so quickly. Lin Shanchu was even smiling sincerely. There was no trace of disguise on her face. However, Xia Jinmeng could hear the mockery in her words.. Chapter 141 - 141: Mind Your Own Business! Chapter 141: Mind Your Own Business! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In the next two hours. Every time Xia Jinmeng caught Lin Shanchu in the wrong and wanted to mock her, Lin Shanchu would beat her to it. Your dance foundation is so strong. You dance really well. No wonder your fans like you so much. Xia Jinmeng felt like she was about to have a heart attack. However, she had no choice but to endure it in front of the camera. That wasnt the only thing she had to do. Xia Jinmeng had to smile and thank Lin Shanchu in order to show how polite she was.. The other groupmates felt that the two of them were getting along very well. However, they also felt that the atmosphere was strange. It seemed as though a fight was about to happen soon. Throughout the entire afternoon, none of the groupmates dared to approach Lin Shanchu and Xia Jin Meng. It was finally dinnertime. Yun Wu came looking for Lin Shanchu to have dinner together as usual. Shanshan, its time to eat. Xia Jinmeng looked as if she had seen her savior. Lin Shanchu, Yun Wu is here for you. Lin Shanchu extended an invitation to Xia Jinmeng with a smile on his face. Shall we go eat together? Thetter shivered beforeing up with an excuse. I need to use the restroom. Ill wait for you. Lin Shanchus smile widened. Ive been suffering from constipation! Xia Jinmeng gritted her teeth. Next time then. Lin Shanchu pretended to look regretful. Yun Wu leaned against the door and didnte in. From afar, she saw Xia Jinmeng and Lin Shanchu finish talking. The formers face turned green as a result. When Lin Shanchu approached, Yun Wu asked, What did you say to Xia Jinmeng to make her so angry? I invited her to dinner, Lin Shanchu replied seriously. Huh? Yun Wu could not understand why someone would get angry over a meal. After Lin Shanchu left, Xia Jinmeng ran to the restroom. She finally had a ce to vent her pent-up anger. As soon as Xia Jinmeng entered, she kicked the cubicle door. A few dents appeared on the door after a series of bangs sounded. Xia Jinmeng felt that she had been deted, and she hugged her head and screamed. Argh! Lin Shanchu, you b*tch! I will definitely kill you! She had never felt so aggrieved before! She would definitely think of a way! She would definitely think of a way to kill Lin Shanchu! Creak! The cubicle door that Xia Jinmeng had kicked was opened from the inside. An Youyun clearly took pleasure in watching Xia Jinmeng looking so angry. What did Lin Shanchu do to make you so angry? Xia Jinmengs expression froze for a moment before she said coldly, None of your business! She always felt that An Youyun was no less annoying than Lin Shanchu. An Youyuns expression darkened, but it quickly returned to normal. Why do you think Lin Shanchu chose Love Me? Is it because she liked this song, or is it because of some other reason? Xia Jinmeng turned on the tap and washed her hands while ignoring An Youyun. However, An Youyun knew that Xia Jinmeng had taken her words to heart. An Youyun walked to her side, turned on the tap, and said softly, Lin Shanchu is purposely teaming up with you to target you. Xia Jinmeng turned to look at her. An Youyun was very dissatisfied with Xia Jinmengs attitude. She secretly gritted her teeth and suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart. Then, she continued, If you want to deal with her, I can help you. Help me? Xia Jinmengughed when she heard that. You only got fourth ce this time, which means youre about to fall out of the debut list. How are you going to help me? An Youyuns expression changed immediately. Xia Jinmeng mocked, Go ahead and practice your dance. Dont lose fourth ce. The tricks that An Youyun had up her sleeve were all tricks that Xia Jinmeng had used a long time ago. She didnt have anything to back her up, yet she still wanted to cooperate with her. The reason why Xia Jinmeng was working with Tang Qidai was that she had Lu Shiyuan as her backer. You Didnt Yun Wu snatch second ce from you too? An Youyun retorted. Arent you just third ce? Whats there to be proud of? Ill get my position back sooner orter! Xia Jinmeng replied. Yun Wu said that she wanted to snatch Xia Jinmengs second ce, and she did it right after the first public showdown was over. Of course, Xia Jinmeng was very aggrieved because of that. But from a professional point of view, Yun Wu was indeed very powerful. Even if she was dissatisfied, there was nothing she could say. How are you going to snatch it? Can youpare to Yun Wu? An Youyun continued to provoke her. Xia Jinmeng had already suffered a lot from Lin Shanchu. An Youyun insisted on provoking her, which infuriated her. She grabbed An Youyuns cor immediately. Say that again, I f*cking dare you! Xia Jinmeng had been dancing for many years, so her foundation was stronger than An Youyuns, not to mention she was taller and stronger. An Youyun couldnt move now that Xia Jinmeng grabbed her. There was no one around. If Xia Jinmeng really ended up hurting her, she would not be able to keep up with her groupmates in future training. Right now, she could only lower her head and beg for mercy. An Youyun fell silent and looked down. Xia Jinmeng threw her aside impatiently. Mind your own business! An Youyun bumped into the sink and hit her waist against the surface. She supported her waist while staring coldly in the direction Xia Jinmeng had left. In the cafeteria. Lin Shanchu had just finished eating when Wen Tongtong and Ning Yunxi nvpr Vug Sister, I heard that you chose Love Me. Why did you do that? Ning Yunxi was very outspoken. Her voice was heard before she even reached Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu raised her head from her bowl of soup. Thats because Ive never performed such a sexy dance before. Oh, I see. The simple-minded Ning Yunxi believed the excuse right away. Wen Tongtong looked deeply at Lin Shanchu without saying anything. Yun Wu walked over with arge te of fruits. Why are you guys here? She looked at Wen Tongtong as she spoke. Wen Tongtong pursed her lips before saying to Lin Shanchu, Thank you. Lin Shanchu raised her head to shoot Wen Tongtong a puzzled look. Its all thanks to you that we didnt get eliminated this time. Wen Tongtongs expression was a little awkward. Yeah, Ning Yunxi immediately agreed. I thought I could only stick around for one round. I didnt expect to continue staying here. Big Sister, youre really amazing. Theres no need to thank me. Its all your own hard work. Lin Shanchus expression was very impassive. Even her tone was a little colder. The young women looked at each other. They felt that Lin Shanchu had changed a little after returning to the production team. Yun Wu and Wen Tongtong did not speak. But Ning Yunxi was straightforward. She blinked and said carefully, Big Sister, you dont seem very happy. No one is happy every day, right?Lin Shanchu smiled and started eating. No one in this world was happy every day. In fact, there were even many people who were unhappy every day. The atmosphere started to be oppressive. Yun Wu silently gave a chicken wing to Lin Shan. Lin Shanchu turned to look at her in confusion. Yun Wu smiled at her. Ning Yunxi followed suit by giving Lin Shanchu a piece of fish meat. Wen Tongtong passed her a slice of fruit. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Were they treating her like a gluttonous pig? Chapter 142 - 142: An Underhanded Method Chapter 142: An Underhanded Method Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Xia Jinmeng lost to Lin Shanchu in the afternoon. When she returned to the training room at night, she was afraid that Lin Shanchu would ask her for another one-to-one lesson again, so she dragged her groupmates to practice dance together. She felt that Lin Shanchu would definitely provoke her on purpose and make her lose herposure in front of the camera. Xia Jinmeng decided not to provoke Lin Shanchu for the time being before she could think of a n to deal with her. In the end, Lin Shanchu didnt even talk to her after she returned to the training room. She stood at the side and practiced seriously. If she came across a difficult part, she would humbly ask her groupmates for advice. At the end of the training, Xia Jinmeng finally got the chance to speak to Lin Shanchu alone. Did you do it on purpose? Lin Shanchu brushed her sweaty hair away. What do you mean? When you were training just now, you deliberately asked the other groupmates what you didnt know instead of asking me. You wanted others to think that I didnt teach well, right? Xia Jinmeng was already certain that Lin Shanchu was targeting her. Huh? Was this how a normal person would think? Oh, the setting of the sadistic world was very abnormal. Lin Shanchu understood everything at once. She was deeply inspired too. I wont ask you to teach me how to dance until the end of the public showdown. If Xia Jinmeng insisted on thinking this way, Lin Shanchu could only grant her wish. You Xia Jinmeng was furious. She sneered before turning to leave. Before going to bed, Lin Shanchu took out her spare phone in the bathroom. Lu Shiyuans name was at the top of the entertainment rankings: #Lu Shiyuans first appearance after the scandal Lu Shiyuan brought Tang Qidai to the party. The reporter took a close-up of the two of them. In the picture, the two of them were dressed up and appeared intimate. Lin Shanchu bit her lip hard and stared at the two people in the photo. A scumbag like him was actually protected by the male leads plot armor. He had clearly done all kinds of evil things, yet he was still unscathed. She wanted to see how long the male lead s plot armor could protect this piece of trash! No human life should be like this. Lu Shiyuan shouldnt have. She shouldnt have either. Shanshan, are you done? Yun Wus voice came from outside the door. Her tone was very urgent. Lin Shanchu snapped back to reality and replied, Yes. She turned off her phone and put it away before getting up to open the door. Youre finally out. Yun Wu clutched her stomach and wanted to run inside. After running two steps, she turned her head and looked at Lin Shanchu. Why is the corner of your mouth wounded? Lin Shanchu reached out to touch the corner of her mouth. Theres blood. Yun Wu pointed at the spot. Lin Shanchu touched the wound and hissed softly. I identally knocked against something just now. Actually, when she was looking at her phone, she injured the corner of her mouth unconsciously. Be careful, said Yun Wu. Hurry up and go to the toilet. Lin Shanchu closed the door behind him. Shey on the bed and closed her eyes, preparing to sleep. However, she couldnt help but think about what had happened in the past few days. Soon, her roommates went to bed. The lights went out. The dormitory fell silent. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes in the darkness. She couldnt sleep. When she closed her eyes, she would remember that the evidence had been erased and that Lu Shiyuan was still alive and well. The next day. Yun Wu woke up and found that Lin Shanchus bed was empty. The rest of the roommates also woke up at this time. Did Lin Shanchu wake up so early? No way. Its only past six oclock. Why did she wake up earlier aftering back from her trip? I cant catch up to Lin Shanchus lifestyle in this lifetime. Yun Wu did not speak, but her expression was a little puzzled. She had told Lin Shanchu to wake her upst night. Why did she leave without waking Yun Wu up? At this moment, the dormitory door was pushed open from the outside. Everyone turned around and saw Lin Shanchu standing at the door. Lin Shanchu was wearing a training uniform. She walked in while looking very sweaty. What are you doing so early? asked his roommate. I woke up early and couldnt sleep, so I went to the training room. Lin Shanchu exined concisely and walked toward Yun Wu. I thought you werent up yet and was going toe back to wake you up. Yun Wu threw the towel on her shoulder. I just woke up too. Did you practice your dance? Yes. Lin Shanchu also took her towel. Yun Wu sized up Lin Shanchu for a moment before changing the topic. I wonder what the cafeteria is having this morning. Whole wheat steamed buns. How do you know? Yesterday at dinner, I saw the servingdy rolling the dough. There were indeed whole wheat steamed buns for breakfast. Yun Wu ate two steamed buns, three eggs, and a carton of milk in one go. When they returned to the training room, Yun Wu looked at Lin Shanchu with resentment. Why didnt you choose my group? The dance was so simple that she learned it in no time. She was just teaching her groupmates every day at training. It was a little boring. If she was paired with Lin Shanchu, it wouldnt be so boring. Maybe next time. Dont you think youre being a little absent-minded here? Lin Shanchu thought for a moment, then leaned closer to Yun Wus ear and whispered, I went to Xia Jinmengs group because I have something important to do. What business? Yun Wu seemed to have thought of something. Excitement and a hint of madness filled her eyes. She imitated Lin Shanchu by asking in a low voice, You want to teach Xia Jinmeng a lesson? How are you nning to do that? Lin Shanchu fell into a short silence. Yun Wu was a pampered heiress from a wealthy family who was cold and arrogant on the surface, but she was also the type who had a wild imagination. Even though Yun Wus guess was wrong, she still got part of the reason right. Lin Shanchu didnt know how to exin this to Yun Wu. She nned to use Xia Jinmengs jealousy of Tang Qidai to convince her into hooking up with Lu Shiyuan. Then, she could take the opportunity to obtain evidence of Lu Shiyuans extramarital affair and cancel the engagement. The identity of Lu Shiyuans fiance was too disgusting to her. However, she didnt want to tell Yun Wu about such underhanded methods. Lin Shanchu had no friends before. Yun Wu was a special existence to her. Lin Shanchu didnt say anything, so Yun Wu thought that Lin Shanchu didnt want to tell her. Thetter did not mind. Everyone had their own secrets. She could understand. Yun Wu took the initiative to change the topic. But if you end up in a bad situation, you can alwayse to me for help. My brothers are the best at cleaning up messes. Lin Shanchu felt a little touched as she smiled gently. Didnt you say that your brothers are useless other than being rich and handsome? Yun Wu choked. Do your brothers know that youve ruined their reputation? Lin Shanchuughed. Yun Wu seemed to have thought of something. Her expression instantly became serious. If you dont say it, no one will know. Lin Shanchu felt that Yun Wu sounded a little strange. She didnt know Yun Wus brothers, so who was she going to tell? At this moment, Xia Jinmengs voice came from not far away. Lin Shanchu, hurry up! Youre the only one left! Chapter 143 - 143: Don ‘t Think About Walking Away Unscathed Today Chapter 143: Don t Think About Walking Away Unscathed Today Lin Shanchu waved goodbye to Yun Wu before heading toward the training room. Xia Jinmeng stood at the doorway with her arms crossed. When Lin Shanchu walked up to her, Xia Jinmeng raised her chin and looked at her from the corner of her eyes. There isnt much time left for training. Dont waste everyones time. Lin Shanchu didnt even look at Xia Jinmeng as she walked straight into the training room. Xia Jinmeng called her name again. Lin Shanchu! However, Lin Shanchu acted as if she didnt hear her and even quickened her pace. Xia Jinmeng couldnt say anything more in front of her groupmates. Perform the dance for me. Xia Jinmeng stood in front of the team, looking very much like a team leader. Lin Shanchu obediently started dancing with her groupmates. Xia Jinmeng didnt respect Lin Shanchu at all. As soon as the dance ended, she wanted to pick on Lin Shanchu. However, before she could say anything, her groupmates beat her to it. Everyone realized that Lin Shanchu was improving rapidly. Lin Shanchu, you improved so quickly! Yeah! You didnt practice for a long time, yet youre able to perform the whole dance without making any mistakes! I didnt expect you to be able to catch up to our progress so quickly The groupmates tones carried a hint of ttery. After all, Lin Shanchu was one of the shareholders of the Lu Corporation. No matter how many connections Xia Jinmeng had, she still couldntpare to Lin Shanchu. Then again, what they said was the truth. Xia Jinmeng felt extremely displeased when she saw everyone surrounding Lin Shanchu. Dont waste your time. Hurry up and practice. Everyone immediately dispersed and continued practicing. Meanwhile, Lin Shanchu turned around and walked away. Xia Jinmeng shouted at Lin Shanchu rudely, Where are you going? The washroom. Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at Xia Jinmeng calmly. Hurry up ande back. Xia Jinmeng was a little embarrassed. Lin Shanchu had been gone for a long time and hadnt returned. Xia Jinmeng looked at the door from time to time. Its been almost half an hour. Why isnt Lin Shanchu back yet? Her groupmates were busy training, so no one noticed how long Lin Shanchu had been gone. A teammate chimed in, Maybe she has a stomachache. Ill go take a look. Xia Jinmeng turned her back to the camera and shot a re at her groupmate. Lin Shanchu must have been cking off. Xia Jinmeng walked into the washroom quietly upon reaching the entrance. She walked alongside the cubicles. When she walked to the innermost cubicle, she realized that the door showed upied. If she remembered correctly, the innermost cubicle door was broken. Xia Jinmeng ced her hand on the cubicle door before pushing it open abruptly. As soon as the door opened, she saw Lin Shanchu sitting on the toilet seat and ying with her phone. He wasnt in the toilet at all. Xia Jinmeng smiled smugly. I knew that you were cking off! Lin Shanchu rotated the wrist that was holding the phone while ncing at Xia Jinmengzily. Then, she attempted to close the door on her. It was only then that Xia Jinmeng noticed the phone in Lin Shanchus hand. She quickly pushed against the door and snatched Lin Shanchus phone away. You actually hid your phone? Give me back my phone. Lin Shanchus expression was cold. Give it back to you? Xia Jinmeng sneered. Dream on! I want to hand it over to the director! As she spoke, she turned around and attempted to leave. All Xia Jinmeng could think about was the fact that she could win against Lin Shanchu. Therefore, she didnt notice that Lin Shanchu didnt look angry nor did she try to chase after her. The phones screen was still lit. Xia Jinmeng subconsciously nced at it. The smile on her face disappeared bit by bit. She also stopped in her tracks. The phone stopped at the official Weibo page of a certain luxury brand. The pinned post on the Weibo page showed the official announcement of the coboration between Tang Qidai and the luxury brand. Even many A-listers had a hard time getting such a luxury brand endorsement. Yet, a minor celebrity like Tang Qidai could easily secure such a deal. Xia Jinmeng stared at the screen of her phone, her eyes red with jealousy. She and Tang Qidai had both grown up in an orphanage, but Tang Qidai had a better life than her. After all, she was adopted by a rich family and had Lu Shiyuan as her backer. The resources that Xia Jinmeng could not get even after using every trick in her book were within Tang Qidais reach. She had fought with Lin Shanchu for so long in the talent show, but she had fallen to third ce. Tang Qidai, on the other hand, could make a name for herself outside. Xia Jinmeng had never felt the difference between her and Tang Qidai in such a straightforward manner. Tang Qidai didnt need to work hard at all because Lu Shiyuan would give everything to her. Meanwhile, Xia Jinmeng had worked hard for many years, but she only had a group of fans at a smaller scale. It was too unfair! The more Xia Jinmeng thought about it, the angrier she got. She subconsciously raised her hand and wanted to throw the phone away. If you smash my phone right now, dont even think about walking out of here alive today. Lin Shanchus words made Xia Jinmengs hand freeze in mid-air. The former stepped forward and snatched the phone from Xia Jinmengs hand. Then, she turned off her phone and stuffed it back into her pocket right in front of Xia Jinmeng. After that, Lin Shanchu turned to leave. She looked calm as if nothing had happened. Xia Jinmeng suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu turned around to nce at the hand which was grabbing her. Her gaze was cold and sharp. Before she could say a word, Xia Jinmeng released her grip as if she had been scalded by hot water. Xia Jinmeng calmed herself down before mocking, You cant even control a man. Just how useless are you? If it wasnt for the fact that Lin Shanchu couldnt keep Lu Shiyuans heart, he wouldnt have pampered Tang Qidai so much. With that thought in mind, Xia Jinmeng was so angry that she could vomit blood. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips. Men who are fickle and heartless arent pets. Isnt it normal for me to not be able to control him? She sounded very disappointed and sad. Xia Jinmeng felt like she had vented her anger. How did Tang Qidai manage to ensnare your fiancs heart? You might as well admit that youre useless! People change. Lu Shiyuan used to love me, and now he loves Tang Qidai. He might love someone else in the future. Lin Shanchu let out a long sigh while looking helpless. Xia Jinmeng felt extremely good when she witnessed how sad Lin Shanchu was. You just dont want to admit that youre useless, she retorted nonchntly. Lin Shanchu looked at Xia Jinmeng before saying seriously, Just wait and see if you dont believe me. For a moment, Xia Jinmeng was shocked by Lin Shanchus serious tone. Oh, right. Lin Shanchu smoothed down her hair slowly as she pointed out casually, Xia Jinmeng, you came from an orphanage like Tang Qidai, right? Xia Jinmengs expression changed slightly. Her expression instantly became abnormally vignt. How did you know? Just like Tang Qidai, Xia Jinmeng cared about her family background. Therefore, all of Xia Jinmengs articles talked about how talented and beautiful she was. She never dared to bring her background into the spotlight.. Chapter 144 - 144: A Permanent Weakness Chapter 144: A Permanent Weakness Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu did not answer Xia Jinmengs question directly. She looked at Xia Jinmeng and said regretfully, Its a shame that both of you have different destinies even though youe from the same background. To Xia Jinmeng, these words sounded like tant mockery. How dare Lin Shanchu mock her for being inferior to Tang Qidai? What right do you have to say that about me? Xia Jinmeng gritted her teeth. Youre no better than me! My life is better than yours. Lin Shanchu smiled brightly. Putting everything else aside, Lin Shanchus life was indeed better than Xia Jinmengs. When she was young, she had both parents who loved her dearly. Later on, when her parents passed away, they also left thepanys shares to her. She was restricted by the setting of the female lead in the angst novel, which was why she yed her good hand badly. On the other hand, a female celebrity like Xia Jinmeng, who did not have particrly outstanding qualities, was akin to a de of grass out of the entire garden known as the entertainment industry. It was too difficult to stand out. Not only was Xia Jinmeng not as lucky as Lin Shanchu, but she was also not as lucky as Tang Qidai. She was not adopted by a rich family. She had already suffered a lot to get to where she was today. Perhaps, the most sessful moment Xia Jinmeng spent her life working for was just Lin Shanchus starting point. The expression on Xia Jinmengs face changed again and again before finally returning to silence. With a cold expression, she left without saying a word. When she passed by Lin Shanchu, she bumped into her shoulder. Lin Shanchu looked at her back, the corners of her lips slowly rising. How could one harvest the fruit they wanted? Step one, find the most suitable soil. Step two, nt a seed. Step three, irrigate, fertilize, trim the branches, and cut the leaves. After that, one could wait for the day of harvest. Xia Jinmeng was very ambitious. Previously, she had teamed up with Tang Qidai to deal with Lin Shanchu in order to get first ce. She and Tang Qidai were also fake friends. A person who was willing to do anything for profits and hated Tang Qidai was the perfect candidate for Lin Shanchu. Although Lu Shiyuan had the male lead plot armor, he also had a weakness that he could not get rid of. That was the setting of an angst novels male lead would always love the female lead. No matter how much Lu Shiyuan hated her and wanted to kill her, she was the one he loved the most in his heart. This was also the reason why Lu Shiyuan had not given Tang Qidai a proper title despite the rumors about him and Tang Qidai spreading like wildfire. Because Lu Shiyuan did not love her at all. Lu Shiyuan would also show affection to the women who were simr to Lin Shanchu because he only loved Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu still remembered that Lu Shiyuan had a bad temper since he was young. Other than her, he didnt y with any other little girls. Tang Qidais appearance was an exception. Tang Qidais features bore some resemnce to Lin Shanchus. That was why Lu Shiyuan, who had always been cold to other girls, took a few more nces at Tang Qidai and treated her differently. This gave Tang Qidai a chance to get close to Lu Shiyuan. In the following years, she had been very smart and learned to imitate Lin Shanchu. Slowly, Lin Shanchu was kicked out of the game. That trick might not be the best. But it was very useful. Therefore, it was not difficult to turn Xia Jinmeng into another Tang Qidai. It could even be said to be very easy. Because no one knew Lu Shiyuans preferences better than Lin Shanchu. And now, the seed had been nted. Soon, she would be able to proceed to the third step. The groupmates of Love Me noticed that their leader, Xia Jinmeng, had been acting strangely recently. She was very engrossed in her intense training all day long and did not speak much. The most obvious thing was that Xia Jinmeng didnt bother Lin Shanchu anymore. Lin Shanchu, on the other hand, didnt seem out of the ordinary. She was smiling all day and was very nice to her groupmates. There were even some nosy members who secretly discussed this matter. Is Xia Jinmeng not targeting Lin Shanchu anymore? Its true. Shes been so busy with her training that she doesnt talk much, let alone cause trouble for Lin Shanchu. Could it be that she had been subdued by Lin Shanchu? Pfft, I dont think so. Could it be that shes afraid of Lin Shanchus identity as President Lin? Thats possible, but Lin Shanchu doesnt put on airs at all.. The topic of the members discussion started to change. No one noticed that Lin Shanchu, one of the people involved, was ying with her phone in the innermost cubicle. Lin Shanchu was looking at Lu Corporations stocks. Two days ago, a movie invested by the Lu Corporation was released. The box office earnings on the first day exceeded 100 million dors. Even the Lu Corporations stock price had steadily risen. Lin Shanchu had insomnia again that night. At three oclock in the morning, she changed into her training clothes and went to the training room. Since she couldnt sleep and had nothing else to do, she could only practice her dance. Lin Shanchu walked to the door of the training room and heard some movementing from inside. She pushed the door open and met the gaze of the person inside. No wonder you improved so quickly, Xia Jinmeng remarked with a sneer. She was sweating profusely. It was obvious that she had been here for quite some time. Lin Shanchu ignored her and started to practice the dance after warming up. Xia Jinmeng was resting at the side, staring at Lin Shanchus dance practice expressionlessly. Lin Shanchu had fair skin and long legs. Her body was flexible, and she had nice features. She always gave off an innocent feeling as if she had never suffered at all. Xia Jinmeng stared at her for a while, unable to shift her gaze away. She was really beautiful. At the same time, she was capable of making others jealous of her. No wonder Tang Qidai still needed to think of ways to get rid of Lin Shanchu even though she had already ensnared Lu Shiyuans heart. If she were Tang Qidai, she would also be worried about Lin Shanchus existence. Lin Shanchu did not look at Xia Jinmeng the entire time, nor did she speak to her. She was focused on practicing her dance. It was as if Xia Jinmeng didnt exist at all. Xia Jinmeng was quite displeased. The words Lin Shanchu had said to her in the washroom had disturbed her for the past few days. However, Lin Shanchu acted as if nothing had happened. It was six in the morning. Lin Shanchu was going back to the dormitory. Xia Jinmeng stepped forward to stop her. Lin Shanchu looked at Xia Jinmeng in silence. Her gaze was calm and distant, making it difficult to see the emotions in her eyes. Xia Jinmeng was the first to speak. Dont you have anything to say to me? Lin Shanchu looked at the clock on the wall. Its 6:10 right now. She had to go to the cafeteria with Yun Wu for breakfast at half past six. Xia Jinmeng could hear the impatience in Lin Shanchus tone. Hesitation shed across her eyes, but they quickly became unusually firm. Will you keep the promise you made to mest time? The seed sprouted. It was faster than Lin Shanchu had expected. Ive said so many things. Which one are you referring to? Lin Shanchu asked calmly. Xia Jinmeng nced at the camera and closed the door to create a blind spot. Xia Jinmeng tilted her head slightly and whispered into Lin Shanchus ear, You said that you know what kind of woman Lu Shiyuan likes. You said that you can help me. Because of this, she missed the smile that shed across Lin Shanchus eyes.. Chapter 145 - 145: I’ll Give You the Center Position Chapter 145: Ill Give You the Center Position Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Xia Jinmeng stood up, she saw Lin Shanchus cold expression. Oh, youre talking about that. Lin Shanchus tone was neutral and disinterested. You said it yourself. Xia Jinmeng was afraid that Lin Shanchu would turn her down. You Xia Jinmeng felt that Lin Shanchu didnt want to help her. Ill go back to the dormitory first. Lin Shanchu pushed Xia Jinmeng away. Xia Jinmeng pulled her hair in frustration. Lin Shanchu hummed a song as she returned to the dormitory. Yun Wu was stillzing in bed. Lin Shanchu walked to Yun Wus bed and knocked on the headboard. You have 15 minutes before half past six. Yun Wu got up with her hair looking all messy and nced at Lin Shanchu. Then, shey back down. Fail. Lin Shanchu thought for a moment before deciding to use an effective method on her. The cafeteria has a limited supply of sandwiches this morning. You wont get anything if you go thereter. As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Wu sat up straight on the bed. And they are bacon sandwiches, Lin Shanchu added. Yun Wu muttered, I want to eat bacon sandwiches. She flipped over and jumped off the bed, soon quickly running to the bathroom. It was no wonder theizens called Yun Wu The Glutton. She truly lived up to that title. Yun Wu ate five sandwiches in satisfaction. Lin Shanchu had only eaten two. However, after seeing Yun Wu eat so much, she felt that it was a little embarrassing to only eat two, so she forcefully ate another one. The extra sandwich left herpletely stuffed. Yun Wu went on a stroll with Lin Shanchu so that thetter could digest properly. When they returned to the training room, Yun Wu stopped walking. Shanshan, what did you do to Xia Jinmeng? Lin Shanchu followed Yun Wus line of sight and saw Xia Jinmeng standing on the balcony on the third floor. She was looking at her intensely. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze. Why do you ask? The way shes looking at you now is like how shes looking at a heartless man. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Yun Wu narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Shanchu for two seconds before asking something shocking, Do you like her? How am I inferior to her? Lin Shanchu was speechless. Forget it, Im not your beloved sister anymore. Lin Shanchu was confused. Why did Yun Wu suddenly be a drama queen? She should have given Lin Shanchu a chance to speak up. Lin Shanchu smiled and said softly, If you continue to spout nonsense, dont evere to my house for meals again. Big Sister, youre my most beloved sister! Yun Wu admitted defeat in a second. After the show ends, can I stay at your house? I dont have a house in Xu City either. Im so pitiful.. After spending a long time with people of the same age, Yun Wu started to show signs of unleashing her true nature. Who would have thought that Yun Wu, who had asked her for help with her makeup with a cold expression when they first met, would be like this one day? However, this pitiful tone It seemed a little familiar. What a coincidence. I dont have a house either. Yun Wu was stunned for a moment, but soon she said very seriously, Its okay. Ill buy one for you. If youre so rich, why dont you buy a house for yourself first? It doesnt matter if I have a home or not. You, on the other hand, need a home. After all, one could only cook if they had a home, right? If it wasnt for the fact that she knew Yun Wus foodie persona, Lin Shanchu would have been touched. You can only cook if you have a home, right? Yun Wu nodded silently. All right, lets go back to the training room. Xia Jinmeng was waiting for Lin Shanchu at the stairwell. As a sensible person, Yun Wu left right away. Lin Shanchu turned to leave as well while ignoring Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng followed closely behind her. As she walked, she eximed, Lin Shanchu, you cant go back on your word! Her tone was very harsh. It was as if Lin Shanchu was in the wrong for not helping her. What if I go back on my word?Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks and looked at Xia Jinmeng expressionlessly. Xia Jinmengs expression froze. It was true that she couldnt do anything to Lin Shanchu. Are you willing to watch Tang Qidai make a name for herself? Dont forget, you are Lu Shiyuans fiance! Dont you want to get revenge on her? The more Xia Jinmeng spoke, the more agitated she became. It was as if she was the one being cuckolded. This was the effect Lin Shanchu wanted. This was human nature. The easier it was to get something, the less one would cherish it. The more you cant get it, the more you miss it. She deliberately ignored Xia Jinmeng so that she could only think about Tang Qidais meteoric rise through Lu Shiyuan. It was only when her jealousy turned into a demon that Xia Jinmeng finally had the idea of recing Tang Qidai. After Xia Jinmeng made up her mind to rece Tang Qidai, Lin Shanchu decided to ignore her. At this time, Xia Jinmeng couldnt afford to wait because she had already made up her mind. The more impatient she was, the more irrational she would be. This is my business. What does it have to do with you? Lin Shanchu retorted coolly. Xia Jinmeng wanted to speak up again, but Lin Shanchu didnt give her another chance. In the next few days, Xia Jinmeng still tried to persuade Lin Shanchu from time to time. However, Lin Shanchu left as soon as she saw her, so Xia Jinmeng did not have the chance to speak at all. Lin Shanchu still hid in the toilet every day to check on the Lu Corporation and Lu Shiyuans situation. Although Lu Shiyuans power was dispersed by the shareholders, he could still maintain the normal operation of the Lu Corporation. Interestingly enough, some people started to expose some dirt on Tang Qidai online. Althought the scandals disappeared like a gust of wind after they were exposed, they still left digital tracks on the Inte. Those who wanted to see them would eventually see them. Lin Shanchu knew that Qiao Jiaxi was starting to make a move. Finally, she felt slightly relieved. Qiao Jiaxi didnt disappoint her. Lin Shanchus mood improved a little. She did not suffer from insomnia that night. Soon, it was the night before the second public showdown. Xia Jinmeng came to Lin Shanchus dormitory to look for her. Lin Shanchu followed her out. When the two of them reached a ce where no one was around, Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at her. Speak. Xia Jinmeng took a deep breath and said with determination, As long as youre willing to help me, Im willing to give you the center position. The more Lin Shanchu refused to help her, the more anxious she became. Her mind was filled with thoughts of recing Tang Qidai. Every day, she imagined how she would be able to do whatever she wanted in the entertainment industry after snatching Lu Shiyuan over. She did not want to wait any longer. Lin Shanchus eyes widened slightly, clearly surprised. Oh? Although Xia Jinmeng was mean, she was clear-headed enough to know the importance of strength, so she had always valued the stage. Lin Shanchu did not expect Xia Jinmeng to be willing to give up the center position to show her determination. Lin Shanchu tilted his head and sized Xia Jinmeng up seriously. Xia Jinmeng, do you really want to take a shortcut? she asked after a while.. Chapter 146 - 146: Unless You Let Me Touch You Chapter 146: Unless You Let Me Touch You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Xia Jinmeng looked into the distance, and her gaze became distant. Who wouldnt want to live a good life in this world? The breeze of the early summer was cool. Soon, Xia Jinmengs voice was blown away. Lin Shanchu leaned against the railing and saidzily, Dont make it sound like you have no way out. She clearly had an insatiable desire in her heart, but she had to act like she had no way out. Xia Jinmeng got angry after Lin Shanchu exposed her. Fine. I just cant ept it. I want to be rich and powerful! Lin Shanchu smiled in satisfaction. People should always be honest with what they want. Are you going to help me or not? Xia Jinmeng asked impatiently. After a short silence, Lin Shanchu reminded her thoughtfully, As the saying goes, wealthes from danger. Theres no such thing as a smooth ride even though youre taking a short cut. There will be risks. You have to think this through. As long as I can seed, whats the big deal about taking some risks? Xia Jinmeng was unconcerned. What if its rted to your life? Lin Shanchu chuckled. Lu Shiyuan was a conceited person and hated being schemed against. If he Imew that Xia Jinmeng had deliberately approached him one day, it was inevitable that he would do some ruthless things. As for whether Xia Jinmengs life could be saved, it would depend on her luck. Xia Jinmengs expression changed slightly, and a look of retreat shed across her face. Lin Shanchu didnt say anything either. She just watched Xia Jinmeng quietly from the side. After all, it was a matter of life and death, so there was no harm in waiting a little longer. A long timeter, Xia Jinmengs voice rang again. Id rather take the risk than continue suffering in my life! In Xia Jinmengs eyes, devoting hard work meant suffering. Lin Shanchu smiled yfully as she stuffed her hands into her pockets andzily strode forward. Lets go back. Didnt you say Xia Jinmeng was a little dissatisfied. Well talk after the performance. Lin Shanchu interrupted her. Then the C position I dont care. Silence ensued. Xia Jinmeng stood rooted to the ground. A strange feeling rose in her heart as she watched Lin Shanchus back. Lin Shanchu was too calm. Even though she was the one who sought Lin Shanchus help to rece Tang Qidai, she still felt like she had been tricked. The next morning. All of the members woke up early to do their makeup and style themselves. When Lin Shanchu returned to the dormitoryst night, Yun Wu had already fallen asleep. As the two of them sat side by side doing their makeup, Yun Wu finally had the chance to ask Lin Shanchu, Why did Xia Jinmeng look for youst night? The makeup artist was applying eyeshadow on Lin Shanchu. She did not open her eyes. Instead, she started spouting nonsense. Xia Jinmeng asked me to perform well today so that I dont drag her down. Yun Wu instantly got agitated. Shes the one dragging you down! There were other students beside her, and they all pricked up their ears to hear the gossip. At this moment, Xia Jinmeng pushed the door open and entered. The other students turned to look at her. Xia Jinmeng was confused. She saw Lin Shanchu looking at her with a faint smile. She walked toward Lin Shanchu thoughtfully. Yun Wu saw Xia Jinmeng approaching and immediately spoke up warily. Xia Jinmeng, whats the matter? Let me have a word with Lin Shanchu. Xia Jinmeng frowned. She did not remember when she had provoked Yun Wu. Lin Shanchu gave Yun Wu a look to tell her that she was fine. Xia Jinmeng lowered her voice and asked Lin Shanchu coldly, What did you The moment she entered, she felt that the atmosphere was strange. No one else dared to say anything about her behind her back, so Lin Shanchu was the only one left. Lu Shiyuan likes gentle women. Xia Jinmengs expression stiffened. The next second, she said gently, The rest of the group is ready. Youre the only one left. Well wait for you outside. All right. Everyone was speechless. Yun Wu tilted her head while looking at Xia Jinmengs back. She asked Lin Shanchu, Is there something wrong with Xia Jinmeng? Who knows? Lin Shanchus tone was light. Backstage. There was still nearly an hour before the livestream. The recording hadnt started yet, but the cameras were already on. The youngdies gathered together and chatted. When Lin Shanchus group entered, there was a moment of silence. Then, a series of squeals erupted at the same time. Ah! Im a woman, but Im about to have a nosebleed! Xia Jinmengs calves are so beautiful!! I only have eyes for Lin Shanchus waist! Me too I feel like weve already lost! Ahhh! Lin Shanchus group costumes werent particrly outstanding. They wore tops that revealed their midriffs and leather skirts, which was the standard outfit for sexy dances that wouldnt affect the livestream. However, the students were all young and had good figures. Theirckluster costumesplemented them well. Lin Shanchu was especially breathtaking. Her attire attracted the attention of many students in the dressing room. Regardless of gender, it was natural for them to look at beautiful women. The sounds of Wow could be heard from backstage. Ran Zhimo, who was sitting by the aisle, took the opportunity to touch Lin Shanchus leg. After she finished touching, her face was filled with tears of satisfaction. Her legs are even smoother than my face. Lin Shanchu curled her lips and gently touched Ran Zhimos face. Nonsense. Her soft voice had a doting tone to it. Coupled with her costume, it made people feel numb to their bones. Ran Zhimos eyes widened. Guys, you dont have to believe me when I say this, but I feel like I just got zapped. Me too. Viewers started flooding into the live broadcast room. The audience members who just entered the room didnt know what was going on. [Did Ran Zhimo get zapped?] [She got zapped by Lin Shanchu.] [Wheres Lin Shanchu?] The backstage at this time. The other members began hatching their ns since Ran Zhimo took the lead by taking advantage of Lin Shanchu. Is her leg really smoother than my hand? I dont believe you. Unless you let me touch it. [Touch what?] The next moment, the audience in the live broadcast room saw the members surrounding Lin Shanchu. Then, they started reaching out to her. The audience was confused. [Hahaha! Whats going on?] [This scene seems familiar.] [Release President Lin right now! I want to do it too!] [I finally found Lin Shanchu! Oh my god, shes so hot today!] [Holy sh*t! No wonder the production crew didnt leak any information! It turns out that Lin Shanchu chose Love Me!] [This dance is quite sexy. Its not Lin Shanchus style at all. Can she handle it?] At this moment, Lin Shanchu couldnt block thedies hands at all. She couldnt fight back. So, she could only lie down and ept her fate. Lin Shanchu felt numb. She looked expressionlessly at the beautiful and fair hands that were reaching for her legs. Seriously Sister, why arent you treating us like how you treated Ran Zhimo? Huh? One of the membersined, You should touch our faces then tell us were saying nonsense! Lin Shanchu looked even more confused.. Chapter 147 - 147: Hidden Rules Chapter 147: Hidden Rules Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Thements kept rolling: Hahahahahahahahahahaha1 [I cantugh anymore. Taking advantage of CEO Lin is one thing, but this request is just ridiculous.] [Is it just ridiculous? I feel that its a little perverted. Hahahaha.] [The talent show is so exciting [HeheLin ShanchuHeheLin ShanchuHehe] Lin Shanchu fell silent. After two seconds, she said softly, Sister, dont you think your request is a little perverted? The student covered her face in embarrassment and admitted, . A little. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Holding back hisughter, the staff member beside Lin Shanchu spoke up to break up the situation. All cameras are working normally. Students, please take your positions. The students reluctantly returned to their seats. Lin Shanchu also returned to her position. As soon as she sat down, she heard a familiar mechanical voice echoing in her head. [0.1 rtionship points received.] Lin Shanchu was caught by surprise. The system exined: [Same-sex attraction is under the rtionship sub-group.] This cant be a legitimate system. It was even more ridiculous than those girls! The system even reminded Lin Shanchu: [The host has not interacted with the opposite sex for 13 days. Prolongedck of interaction or any romantic involvement will affect the health level.] Speak human, Lin Shanchu demanded. The system replied: [If you dont kiss or hug Huo Xunzhou soon, theres a possibility of falling ill.] You didnt mention this before. [This is a hidden rule that needs to be triggered by human action.] Lin Shanchu let out a deep sigh and said, I understand. The system was ying games with her, making rules up as they go. If it had a physical form, she would definitely grab it and give it a beating as soon as she saw it. Sensing Lin Shanchus anger, the system dared not make another sound. It disappeared to hide in fear. Once Lin Shanchu made aeback to the program, the real-time viewership visibly surged. Even before she was set to go on stage, she had already been trending because of her makeup looks. The video of her being surrounded by female contestants backstage was also edited and posted online. This assembled loyal fans of the show to take their positions in thements: [I dare anyone to deny Lin Shanchus extraordinary beauty!] [With those legs, that waist, and that face, Lu Shiyuan seems to have lost his senses.] [Is it just a matter of losing his senses?] [Lets be frank, Lu Shiyuan must be blind if he thinks Tang Qidai is anywhere near as good as Lin Shanchu.] Wherever Lin Shanchu was, Lu Shiyuan would inevitably be mentioned. After mentioning Lu Shiyuan, Tang Qidai will be brought up again. During these past ten days. Tang Oidai had been consecutively announcing several endorsements and advertisements. All of it waspensation from Lu Shiyuan, who felt bad that she had been unfairly treated and had her work stopped because of Lin Shanchu. Which was why Tang Qidai has had a particrly high level of exposure. Her name was trending on the search list almost every day. Today was no exception. However, just as Tang Qidai started going viral, she was quickly overshadowed by Lin Shanchu. Upon the return of Kong Suyi, Tang Qidais agent, to thepany, she started to develop feelings of resentment towards Lin Shanchu as she had to work harder for Tang Qidai. Once Kong Suyi found out that Tang Qidais fame had been suppressed by Lin Shanchu, she immediately sought the help of inte trolls and marketing ounts to boost Tang Qidais poprity. When Tang Qidai finally surpassed Lin Shanchu on the trending search list, Kong Suyi informed Tang Qidai about it. Youre quite capable of doing things. Tang Qidai expressed her satisfaction. She decided to take a break midway and took out her phone to check the search list. She scrolled through the list from top to bottom. The first thing she saw was Lin Shanchus hashtag. #LinShanchuSeductiveDanceMakeup# Hers followed after. #TangQidaiSummerPhotoshoot# F * ck! Tang Qidai got so angry that she cursed on the spot. She tossed the phone to Kong Suyi. Is this what you call taking care of things? Kong Suyi picked up the phone and looked at it, her expression changed slightly. Lin Shanchu must have bought the poprity. Kong Suyi clicked on it and checked the level of discussion. She was surprised to find that it was genuine data, there was no buying involved at all. Lin Shanchu was surpassing Tang Qidai because she was the topic of conversation. The general publics interest in her is muchrger, which was why she climbed the trending search list so quickly. Tang Qidai simply cantpete with Lin Shanchu. However, Kong Suyi can only keep this thought to herself and not say it out loud. Daidai, dont be angry. Lin Shanchus poprity is all artificial. Ill help you boost your poprity. As Kong Suyi spoke, she immediately made a call to contact someone to buy her some fame. Tang Qidai picked up her phone again and tapped on Lin Shanchus hashtag. The video was very short, but Lin Shanchu stood out too much in it. Thements were all praising Lin Shanchu. There were also manyizens whopared her to Lin Shanchu. But a few of Tang Qidais fans spoke up for her. [Focus on boosting your fame on your own. Dont drag other people down because of it.] [Stop stealing my beloved Daidais spotlight.] [You cant hold your own if you dont ride on my Daidais poprity, right?] However, these fans who were on Tang Qidais side were quickly chased away by theizens. [As soon as any defamatory news article of Lin Shanchu was released, youve been desperately searching the inte for them to get yourself to the top. Now youre trying to act like the victim? Its toote!] [Seriously, I advise you to open your eyes and look at the rankings yourself. Is Lin Shanchu the one riding on your poprity?] [Whos the one who cant hold their own? Lin Shanchu gained her current poprity all by herself.] [Your idol relies on men to climb the ranks, wastes a lot of resources, and still has to buy fame to maintain her poprity. Arent you embarrassed?] Tang Qidai was so angry that she almost crushed her phone. However, she quickly suppressed the anger in her heart. She pulled up the statistics on both sides topare and realized that Lin Shanchusments were all real. On the other hand, most of hers were from inte trolls and marketing ounts. Tang Qidai panicked. Since when did Lin Shanchu be more popr than her? She took a moment to recollect the events. She realized that it all started when Lin Shanchu entered My Stage. Before participating in My Stage, that b * tch Lin Shanchu not onlycked poprity but was also looked down upon every day. She benefited a lot from My Stage since then. Because of her, the influence and poprity of My Stage increased on a daily basis. It could be foreseen that the group would definitely be popr in the future. Therefore, Lin Shanchu must not be allowed to sessfully debut. Tang Qidai had a premonition that once Lin Shanchu managed to form a team, it would be difficult for her to suppress her. She had to act quickly and deal with Lin Shanchu before the recording of My Stage ended. When Kong Suyi finished her call and came back, she saw Tang Qidai staring at her phone with a serious expression. Daidai, whats wrong? Tang Qidai looked up. Kong Suyi was startled by her and asked, Daidai, what happened? Tang Qidai gently set the phone aside and remained silent for a moment. Kong Suyi nced at the phone screen and immediately understood that Tang Qidai realized that Lin Shanchus data was genuine. Kong Suyi furrowed her brows and said, Dont worry, as long as President Lu- Tang Qidai interrupted her and continued, We cant let Lin Shanchu stay.. Chapter 148 - 148: Put Some Pants on Before You Talk Chapter 148: Put Some Pants on Before You Talk Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After eliminating a portion of the contestants, the remaining participants were divided into eleven groups in total. Lin Shanchus group Love Me drew the fifth performance order. After the previous round of eliminations, the trainees became more determined. The quality of this episodes stage performances noticeably improvedpared to the first one. The first four groups performed well and managed to just meet the passing standard. No group fell behind. When it was time for Lin Shanchus group to perform, waves of screams erupted from the audience. After Huo Xunzhou left the production team, Nan Mu recruited Ji Yuan to take his ce. Ji Yuan had since be a rising star among the new generation of artists Heaven Continent Media was promoting. He was quite popr in My Stage, so this was a perfect opportunity for him to gain exposure. As the members of Lin Shanchus group took the stage, Ji Yuan immediately noticed Lin Shanchu standing in the middle of the lineup. Theres always a type of person who barely needed to do anything to show off their extraordinary. They just had to stand there and they would effortlessly catch everyones attention. Lin Shanchu was one of them. Ji Yuan had been gaping at her ever since she went on stage. The production crew noticed this and mischievously cut the camera to Ji Yuan. Comment section: [Ji Yuans eyes are fixated. Hahahaha.] [The way Ji Yuan looks at Lin Shanchu is so different.] [With that face and figure, anyone would be mesmerized by Lin Shanchu, right?] [Exactly.] Yu Weixin, who was Ji Yuans partner, casually teased, Xiao Ji, youvee back to life. Laughter echoed from below. Ji Yuan snapped back to his senses, cleared his throat, and said calmly, Our dear Sister Lin looks absolutely stunning today. Yu Weixin maintained a smile on his face and replied, Of course. However, deep down, he couldnt help but mockingly think, Young man, you must be very brave to say that. Comment section: [Our dear Sister Lin??] [Is Ji Yuan not afraid of being misunderstood by saying that?] [Shouldnt Ji Yuans fanse and control him?] Ji Yuans fans responded: [Were also busy admiring beautiful women. No need to cue us.] Meanwhile, backstage by the staff entrance, Nan Mu was carefully observing Huo Xunzhous expression. Ji Yuan knows how to liven up the atmosphere. Dont you think so, Xunzhou? Huo Xunzhou decided to show upst minute, unannounced. Only ten minutes ago did Nan Mu find out that he was here. There were no extra seats avable so the best position to watch the stage was from the staff entrance. The only drawback about it was that the lighting was poor. Huo Xunzhou didnt respond for a long time. Nan Mu couldnt tell what Huo Xunzhou was thinking based on his indifferent face. Sigh. He had asked Ji Yuan to take Huo Xunzhous ce to gain attention, not to ogle at beautiful women. This guy held zero restraint to his words. Even with Huo Xunzhou present, he didnt even hesitate to admire and praise Lin Shanchus extraordinary beauty. On the other hand, the retired, Best Actor of his family that is Huo Xunzhou, may project a cold and reserved demeanor. But he is not without his ws, such as being petty and holding grudges. Ji Yuan should consider himself lucky. The moment Lin Shanchu appeared on stage, the real-time data of the show skyrocketed. Throughout the entire training period, Lin Shanchu hardly got any good sleep. Ever since she sneaked in her phone, Lin Shanchu hadnt been able to get a good nights sleep whenever she came across any news about Lu Shiyuan. On top of that, she had to go through relentless training for days and nights. Yet, she was able to produce remarkable results. Throughout the entire performance, Lin Shanchu appeared rxed and at ease. Coupled with her exceptional ability to control her expression, she became a beautiful enchantress, captivating the audience with her eyes and her aura. From both the audience and thement section, all that was eximed was Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I cant handle this! Its too much!] [My mom asked me why am I pinching my philtrum while watching the show] [Sister, can you f * Ck me in the face?] [Love me! Love me passionately! Please, I beg you!] [Oh my!!] [Guys!! Shouldnt you put some pants on before you talk???] Throughout Love Mes performance, the screams from the audience never stopped. Nan Mu was very pleased. Lin Shanchu indeed had the potential to be as famous as Huo Xunzhou. If only Huo Xunzhou wasnt by his side, he would have screamed along. On the contrary, Li MO was rtively straightforward about such matters. He was fully engrossed in the performance. Plus, he was standing behind Huo Xunzhou, so he couldnt see Huo Xunzhous expression. After the performance ended, thunderous apuse filled the entire venue. Li MO got caught up in the atmosphere and pped along. As he pped, he said excitedly, Miss Lin is amazing! She can dance any style! Nan Mu traced Huo Xunzhous gaze and turned to look at Li Mo. Li MO, who had a slow reaction to the situation, scratched his head and asked softly, Dont you all think Miss Lin performed brilliantly? Huo Xunzhou looked at Li MO expressionlessly for a moment before turning to Nan Mu. Why arent you apuding? Dont you think she performed well? Nan Mu was stunned speechless. He then raised his hand and pped mechanically. I think she did great! Fantastic even! Huo Xunzhou focused his gaze back on the stage. They say a womans heart was like the depths of the sea, but Nan Mu felt that deciphering this mans thoughts was equally challenging. Once the performance ended, it was time for the routine voting session. After the votes had been cast, the entire group retreated backstage. Long after Lin Shanchu went off stage, her name continued to flood thement section. [Lin Shanchu!!!] [Lin Shanchu is truly a hidden gem.] [Impletely falling for Lin Shanchu!] [Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Sister, kill me.] [Sorry, I meant to say Sister, dominate me. Ahhhhhhhhh!!] [Seriously, put some pants on. Stop embarrassing yourself. Hahaha.] After the next group finished their performance, Lin Shanchus group went on stage again for the vote count for both groups to be announced together. First up were the votes for the highest-ranking members of the two groups. Overall, among the top ten trainees who were not in the debut position, the highest votes for highest-ranking member received a total of 230 votes. Surprisingly, Xia Jinmeng, who was ranked third in the previous round, had fewer votes than that. Xia Jinmengs final vote is 210 votes! the host announced. The audience sighed. Comment section: [How could this be? Xia Jinmengs performance wasnt bad.] [Did they manipte the votes?] [Is the production team intentionally tampering with the script to torment the fans?] [Ah, this I just realized that Xia Jinmeng is also in this group] [Me too. I was too focused on Lin Shanchu.] [That is to say, is there a possibility that Xia Jinmengs group is the leading one?] The total vote count remains fixed. If there were a few outstanding members within the group, the votes would be distributed among them. This also happened in the previous episode The Fall of the Universe. Once Xia Jinmeng heard the number of votes she had, she understood what was going on. She turned to look at Lin Shanchu. However, she noticed Lin Shanchu had a subtle look of confusion as she was stuck in a trance. Such fake innocence! There was no need for confirmation, Xia Jinmeng already knew that Lin Shanchus votes must be higher than hers. Although its embarrassing, its almost an unchangeable fact. She was supposed to be the highest-ranking. Yet, somehow, Lin Shanchu had taken the spot away from her just like that.. Chapter 149 - 149: Someone I Haven ‘t Seen in a Long Time Chapter 149: Someone I Haven t Seen in a Long Time Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although Xia Jinmeng had already nned to seduce Lu Shiyuan to boost her status, she still couldnt help but feel unhappy when she thought about how Lin Shanchu had more votes than her. She couldnt possibly be inferior to someone like Lin Shanchu, a good-for-nothing who couldnt evenpete against Tang Qidai. If this wasnt due to the blindness of the audience, it must be from the production crew ying tricks on her. And Nan Mu, the organizer of the program and also Lin Shanchus boss, was the mastermind behind this. Yes, this must be it! The more Xia Jinmeng thought about it, the angrier she got. However, she was still standing on the stage so she could only take deep breaths to suppress her anger. Meanwhile, Lin Shanchu was having a conversation with the system in her mind. Just five minutes ago, she heard the voice of the system in her mind: [Love Line Points +1.] Are you malfunctioning? Lin Shanchu asked, confused. She had been dancing on stage all this time and hadnt done anything else. She couldnt justify the systems sudden awarding of points as anything other than a malfunction. The system fell silent. Then, the system asked: [Does the host want to view the detailed breakdown of the points?] Lin Shanchu replied, Yes. The system scanned through the data for a while before reporting. [The most recent point addition would be a reward of 1 point under the Heartbeat Value category.] Who is it from? This time, she was 100% sure that this Heartbeat Value point had nothing to do with her. After all, she had only spoken to the two male hosts on stage and their conversation barely went past three sentences. The system replied: [Sorry, the source cannot be viewed at the moment.] Before Lin Shanchu could ask any more questions, she heard the host calling out her name. Lin Shanchu Lin Shan Chu came back to her senses and realized that everyone was looking at her. She had been too focused on talking to the system to pay attention to what the host was saying. She felt a moment of confusion. Yu Weixin naturally helped her out of the awkward situation, You seem a bit tired from practicing dancete into the night recently. As he spoke, he nced at the big screen behind Lin Shanchu. Following his line of sight, Lin Shanchu turned her head to look behind her as well. The screen was ying a clip of her practicing dance in the early morning. During each groups performance, some prepetition edited videos would be broadcasted to increase the exnosnre of the trainees and create snsnense for the show. This particr segment was an additional clip chosen by the production team. Comment section: [Shes so dedicated! Its 3 a.m., Im not even asleep at this time!] [Wasnt she promoting a healthy lifestyle of waking up early and sleeping early? Did she flip over so quickly?] [Isnt this against the trend of anti-exhaustion? Shes secretly working hard here!] [No wonder her performance was so good despite having lesser time than others. She really went all out.] The microphone was handed to Lin Shanchu. I didnt stay upte for training. I just couldnt sleep. Comment section: [Is that really the truth?] [Isnt insomnia normal? Who doesnt have sleep disorders nowadays?] [What? Is she ying the victim card now?] [Someone like Lin Shanchu who doesnt need to worry about anything. What does she have to be anxious about? Shes just being dramatic.] The director was pulling his hair with a worried expression behind the camera. No matter where the poprity lies, it often behaves unpredictably. The program broadcasted this segment to let everyone see how hard-working Lin Shanchu was. She only needed to say a few heartfelt words and he could easily gain another wave of fans. Sigh! The director sighed silently. Forget it, he was being overambitious. Yu Weixin intended to smooth things over with a few words and move on from this part. However, Ji Yuan spoke up and asked Lin Shanchu, Why couldnt you sleep? Yu Weixin had no choice but to follow up, Is it because youre worried about thepetition? Lin Shanchu remained calm as she replied, No, Im just worried about thepany. Comment section: [Huh???] [Pfft! Is she referring to the Lu Corporation?] [It must be the Lu Corporation. Didnt their shares recently plummet because of the incident with Jing Ming?] [Wow, and just a moment ago, someone said she was being dramatic! Anyone would be anxious over something like this.] [A few days ago, I read the news about Lu Shiyuan attending an event together with Tang Qidai. Dont those two feel some shame?] [F * ck! Now that you mentioned it, I do feel a bit sorry for our beauty Lin Shanchu.] [Im wishing that scumbag of a man and that ghostly-looking bitch a miserable end-] The number of participants in Group Two is fewer than in Group One, so their performance ends rtively earlier. After all the performances are over, its time to announce the winners for the Most Popr Team and the Overall Poprity Winner. The hosts first announce the Most Popr Team. Before he announced the winner, he kept the audience in suspense. The host pointed the microphone toward them and said, Everyone, tell us which team you think performed the best today. The audience cooperatively screamed the names of the groups they believe were the best. Amongst them, voices that said Love me were the mostmon. The emcee retracted the microphone and said, Ive heard everyones voices, and yes, todays Most Popr Team is Love Mel ! Thement section was flooded withments saying As expected. Then, it was time to move on to the Overall Poprity Winner. On the big screen, the total votes of all team members appeared in sequence. Yunwus vote is thest one to be revealed. Once her votes were out, it was clear. Thement section and the audience were all shouting Lin Shanchus name. The most popr person today is Lin Shanchu! Lets congratte her! Lin Sanchus name just kept rolling in thement section. Backstage, the staff members who were looking at the real-time data sighed softly, Lin Shanchu is really popr. Those who dont know better might think that he has already debuted Lin Shanchus costume was matched with a pair of Martin Boots that didnt fit her really well. As soon as the live stream ended, she immediately went backstage to take them off. Xia Jinmeng walked up to her from behind and sarcastically said, Congrattions on being the Overall Poprity Winner. Lin Shanchu stood up with the shoes in her hand and raised an eyebrow at Xia Jinmengs wishes, Thank you. Before Xia Jinmeng could say another word, Lin Shanchu left with her shoes. F * ck! The silhouette of this womans walk was so graceful, she looked as if she was wearing high heels even when walking barefoot. The more Xia Jinmeng looked, the more annoyed she became. Having nowhere to vent her frustration, Xia Jinmeng kicked the stage leg beside her. Unexpectedly, she used too much force and ended up numbing her foot. Meanwhile, Lin Shanchu was thinking about the heartbeat points as she speed-walked back to her dormitory. She fully intends to be the first to return. However, on the way back, she met someone she hadnt seen for a long time. Although the figure shed past, Lin Shanchu was certain it was Li Mo. Li MO and Huo Xunzhou had always been an inseparable duo. If Li MO was here, does that mean Without giving it any further thought, Lin Shanchu chased after Li Mo. Not far into the chase, sure enough, she saw Huo Xunzhou. He was in his wheelchair as usual. His shirt and trousers were impably ironed, giving him a stern, meticulous look. Nan Mu was also there, standing opposite Huo Xunzhou. Wearing a yful smile, he said something to Huo Xunzhou, but his only response to him was a cold expression, which was like a p to Nan Mus face. Then, Huo Xunzhou seemed to have sensed something and quickly shifted his focus in the direction that caught his attention. Using her agile movements, Lin Shanchu retreated her step just in time to slide into the blindspot at the corner of Huo Xunzhous line of sight just before he noticed her.. Chapter 151 - 151: If We Miss This Today, We’ll Have To Wait Until the Next Life Chapter 151: If We Miss This Today, Well Have To Wait Until the Next Life Lin Shanchu jogged back to the dormitory. Her roommate, who was out front, noticed her and asked, Where did you go? How are you justing back? I went to the bathroom on the way. Lin Shanchu calmly lied. Yun Wu had just finished showering when she walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head. She happened to overhear Lin Shanchu. She walked up to Lin Shanchu and asked with a concerned face, You went to the bathroom for so long? Lin Shanchu nodded without feeling any sort of guilt. Oh. Yun Wu turned around and started blow-drying her hair. Lin Shanchu suddenly realized what Yun Wu meant by her reaction: She felt that there was something more to Lin Shanchus words. She nced at Yun Wu. Most likely driven by her excitement to eat, Yun Wu did not even bother tob her hair properly. She hastily reached for the hairdryer and aggressively blew her hair like she was facing a blizzard. What could this glutton be thinking about? At most, Lin Shanchu would expect Yun Wu toin about how she waste and how that dyed her mealtime. Lin Shanchu smiled as she walked towards the bathroom. Just as she was about to step in, she was stopped in her tracks by a familiar voice in her head. [Love Line Points +1.] Lin Shanchus expression changed. The system sensed the change in Lin Shanchus emotions and asked: [Whats wrong? Arent you happy to receive points?] Lin Shanchu ignored it and checked the point details. The newly added points were marked under the Heartbeat Value category. Heartbeat Value points again. Hold on. She just met up with Huo Xunzhou. Previously when she was awarded a point, Huo Xunzhou was there as well. So, was it possible that the source of these two points came from Huo Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu took a speedy shower and rushed off to the cafeteria with Yun Wu. As they walked past the tables, their topic of discussion caught Lin Shan Chus attention. Ah! Its July the eighteenth today! I never expect that it would be the eighteenth of July so quickly! Earlier in the dormitory, she also overheard her roommates talking about todays date. She just thought it was just a special asion for one of her roommates. However, upon her arrival at the cafeteria, everyone was talking about July the eighteenth. Had she been cut off from the inte? She had her phone with her and had been secretly surfing the inte every day, there was no way she missed out on important news. Yun Wu noticed Lin Shan Chus confusion over the current events and asked, Dont you know what day July the eighteenth is? Lin Shanchu shook her head. Coincidentally, Wen Tongtong and Ning Yunxi were walking over with their tes and overheard their conversation. Ning Yunxi asked Lin Shanchu in surprise, Sister, do you not chase after celebrities? Lin Shanchu shook her head again. The author hadnt allowed her to be able to fangirl over celebrities. Wen Tongtong also questioned her with a tone of skepticism, Arent we the same age? Youre one year younger. Lin Sanchu replied. Oh. Sister, you really dont know SOF?! Ning Yunxi gave Lin Shanchu a yfully sarcastic thumbs up, Wow, youre amazing. And weve been talking for so long, but you still havent told me what todays all about. Lin Shanchu nonchntly reminded her. Yun Wu burst outughing. Today is the day SOF disbands. There will be a global farewell live stream tonight. Yun Wus words snapped a memory in Lin Shanchus head. Wait You mean the boy band that performed The Fall of the Universe? She knew about SOF and how internationally popr theyve been for many years. She just didnt keep up with them for a long time so she didnt know they were disbanding today. Ning Yunxi let out a pretentious sniffle as she shoved a spoonful of rice into her mouth, My youth Wen Tongtong sighed, Its a pity we cant attend the farewell concert in person. Yun Wu was the only one who focused on her meal more than the conversation they were having. Arent you a fan of SOF? Lin Shanchu asked her. In the past. Yun Wu replied simply. Then, as if she was avoiding further questions, Yun Wu swiftly tried to change the subject, The braised beef is delicious today. As part of the culture, the production crew would arrange a day off for the trainees the day after the performance. So, in the evening after the show, everyone would gather together to rx and chit-chat. But tonight, instead of gathering to chat, they gathered at the directors office. It was so crowded to the point it was impossible for anyone to move in or out. Director, my dying wish is to be at SOFs farewell concert. Director, if we miss this today, well have to wait for it in the next life. Director, please Once again, Song Yiming found himself drowning in the sea of girls yelling Director again. Fine! If you want to watch, Ill arrange something for you right now! The director personally yed the live broadcast of SOFs farewell concert on the stages big screen for them. Lin Shanchu was curious so she came over to have a look. She wasnt a fan of SOF, so she nned to leave once she was satisfied. The director had sharp eyes and called out to her, Lin Shanchu! Sit down, youre blocking the view. I dont Sit down and watch. The director could tell that Lin Shanchu was about to say that she wasnt interested in watching, so he deliberately interrupted her. The publicity department was already asking him for materials, so how could he let Lin Shanchu leave and cause a disruption? Ning Yunxi also helped to pull Lin Shanchu back to her seat. Sister, its about to start! Let me tell you, my favorite is Alec. Hes the baby of the group For the next few minutes, Ning Yunxi didnt stop bragging about Alec to Lin Shanchu. Finally, when the live broadcast began, Ning Yunxi finally stopped. The camera swept across the audience in the venue. It was packed, with heads crowding together. Once the members of SOF took the stage, the atmosphere became even more frenzied. The cheers from the audience almost drowned out the hosts voice. Lin Shanchus surroundings werent any different either. On her left, she had Ning Yunxi, and on her right, Wen Tongtong. Both of them were as unstable. Ahhhh! Alec is so handsome! Brother, I love you! Lin Shanchu closed her eyes and exhaled topose her patience while she stared at the screen expressionlessly. The camera then gave close-ups of each member of SOF. Ning Yunxi suddenly grabbed her and said, Ah, sis, this is Alec! Isnt he handsome? The man on the screen was young and handsome, with joyful, charming eyes. He held the microphone in a carefree manner. Hello, everyone. Im Alec. Her voice was mellifluous. Hes quite handsome. Lin Shanchu agreed. She wasntpletely clueless about who SOF was. It was only because she hadnt been keeping up with celebrities that she couldnt remember their names well. The camera then cut to another members face. This time, it was Weng Tongtong who pulled Lin Shanchu over and said, This is Captain Sang Min! Isnt he handsome? After carefully observing him, Lin Shanchu nodded, Yes. Of course. For them to be a boy band so popr, they had to have good looks. The screams in Lin Shanchus ears never stopped throughout the rest of the performance. It wasnt until the final segment of farewell speeches that her surroundings quieted down. However, the silence onlysted a few minutes before the wave of deafening cries washed over her again. Lin Shanchus head was buzzing, so she cooked up an excuse to use the bathroom to get up and leave. As soon as the door to the viewing room closed behind her, the loudest scream erupted from inside. Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief. She felt as if she had just survived a natural disaster. It was Still early, so sne was reaay to go out ror a walK. As she approached the elevator, she heard voices behind her. Must you really rush back tonight? Is there no one else in the entire Huo family that could step up? I swear, theres never a single good thinging from those with the surname Huo.. Theyre all disgusting Chapter 152 - 152: I’m Scared Too Chapter 152: Im Scared Too Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu turned to face the direction of the sound and collided head-on with a group of peopleing toward her. Both parties were taken aback. Nan Mu, who was talking before, quickly fell silent. Li MO started the conversation, Miss Lin? Nan Mu heard about the incident where the trainees surrounded the directors office, so seeing as she was here now, he asked, Arent you going to watch SOFs farewell concert in the screening room? I did watch it. Its almost over, so I just decided toe out and get some fresh air, Lin Shanchu replied, unintentionally ncing at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was also looking at her, but his expression was cold as usual. Nan Mu suddenly nudged Li MO, Oh, did you forget to take your phone? My phone? Li MO felt through his pockets above his pants, My phone is right here- Nan Mu reached out to ce his hand on Li MOs shoulder and said anyway, Dont worry, Ill apany you to get it. He hooked his arm around Li MOs shoulder and walked back without saying anything more. As one of the shippers of Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus rtionship, Li MO immediately understood what Nan Mu was trying to do. He swallowed the words he was about to say and silently followed Nan Mu. After walking a certain distance, he finally waved Nan Mus hand away in disgust, Dont touch me. Whats wrong with a little touching? Nan Mu tried to approach him again. Li MO was unbothered, Youre disgusting. Nan Mu stopped talking after that and the two of them walked away. The surroundings started to quiet down. At this moment, Lin Shanchu was suddenly reminded about the Heartbeat Value points and felt a littleplicated. Are you leaving? she sparked the conversation. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou leaned back into his wheelchair, looking a little rxed. Lin Shanchu ced her hands behind her back earnestly as she wished him, Bon voyage. Thanks. Suddenly, Huo Xunzhous phone rang. As he answered the call, Huo Xunzhou made a weird expression because he couldnt understand what the caller said. Throughout the entire conversation, the caller only uttered one thing before hanging up: Mmm. When the call ended, Huo Xunzhou immediately dialed Li MOs number and said, Come over. The moment he hung up, Li MO was alreadying around the corner. Big Brother, he eximed as he jogged over. It turned out that Li MO and Nan Mu hadnt left at all. They were hiding behind the corner, eavesdropping on Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhous conversation. Lin Shanchu could somewhat expect Nan Mu to be this nosy but she didnt expect Li MO to be like this as well. Feeling Lin Shanchus gaze on him, Li MO chuckled awkwardly as he addressed her, Miss Lin. Noticing that Huo Xuns expression was off, Nan Mu asked, Whats wrong? Huo Xunzhou didnt give a direct answer and just said, Ill be backte this time. Oh, Nan Mu looked at Lin Shanchu meaningfully. At this moment, the elevator doors opened. Li MO, Huo Xun, and Nan Mu stepped inside. Lin Shanchu contemted joining them for a moment but ultimately remained standing in ce. Goodbye, she said to Li MO without looking at Huo Xunzhou. With that, she walked off. Nan Mu looked at Lin Shanchus leaving figure and thoughtfully asked Huo Xunzhou, What happened between you two? Huo Xunzhou closed the elevator doors without saying a word. He didnt look too pleased to hear that. How could he know? He was unsure of what happened himself. Within such a short while, Lin Shan Chus tone suddenly turned cautious. And now it was worse, she just left without even saying goodbye. Sensing his tenseness, Nan Mu didnt dare probe him any further. He silently retreated beside Li MO and leaned against him. Coincidentally, Li MO also happened to step back. The two of them stood together in a corner, not daring to make a sound. Hence, they could only argue with each other silently using their face. Nan Mu: Why are you squeezing next to me? Li Mo: Big Brother is in a bad mood. Im scared too. Lin Shanchu was purposely taking a stroll so she was able to turn back in time to watch the elevator door closing. She sighed softly and continued her journey back. After a few steps, she encountered Yun Wu who was running toward her at full speed, panting heavily. Shanshan? Yun Wu was surprised to see her. Are you feeling better? Lin Shanchu inquired. Previously, Yun Wu mentioned that she wasnt feeling too good and needed to rest for a while, so she didnt manage to join the rest in the screening room. Yun Wu paused for a moment. Im fine. Lin Shanchu noticed that Yun Wu was constantly looking around as she spoke, so she asked, Are you looking for someone? After another round of silence, Yun Wu asked back, Have you seen President Nan? He just took the elevator downstairs. Lin Shanchu pointed at the elevator. Where did he go? Lin Shanchu carefully observed Yun Wu for a while before slowly saying, He went to send Huo Xunzhou off. Oh, Yun Wu nodded. She looked as if she was lost in thought thinking about something. Do you need him urgently? Only when she heard Lin Shanchus voice resonating, Yun Wu snapped back to her senses and replied, Its okay. Ill talk to him when he gets back. Come, lets head back to the dormitory. Lin Shanchu followed Yun Wu back to the dormitory. However, they found the dorms to be empty upon their arrival. When she left the screening room earlier, the members of SOF were already giving their farewell speeches. Shouldnt it be over by now? Blit seeing how much they love the band. it was understandable if they werent willing to let go. They would probably stay in the screening room to be sad for a while. Lin Shanchu proceeded to wash up,y on her bed, and flip through a magazine in boredom. Even after flipping through a two-to-three-page magazine for almost an hour, no one came back from the dormitory. Yun Wu, who always used to discuss with her what foods the canteen would be serving the next day, also remained silent this whole time. It was a little strange. Lin Shanchu got up and approached the end of Yun Wus bed, only to realize that she had done nothing but stare nkly at the ceiling. Whats wrong? Only when Lin Shanchu stuck her hand in front of Yun Wus face and waved did Yun Wu finallye back to her senses. She sat up, Theyre not back yet? Lin Shanchu looked at the other empty beds and confirmed, Nope. Looks like theres no result yet, Yun Wus tone was a little solemn. What result? Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Lin Shanchus confusion made Yun Wu confused. She exined, Sang Min from SOF suddenly copsed as he was giving his farewell speech. Did you not see that? Lin Shanchu shook her head, I left early. No wonder. Yun Wu then shot up from her bed and said, Shanshan, lets go take a look. Yun Wu seemed like she wasnt a fan of SOF, yet she was still somehow quite concerned for them. Alright, Lin Shanchu nodded. Once they entered the screening room, the trainees were still there. Due to Sang Mins sudden copse, the live broadcast had been interrupted. The trainees gathered around the staff, following up on thetest updates online. Its been an hour. Why is there still no news? Yeah. Could it be that Sang Min? Stop it. Sang Min was fine during his physical examinationst year, he was in good health. There was no way something happened to him.. These girls were so devoted to their idol that they even knew about his physical examination results. Lin Shanchu recalled the sudden loud exmations she heard when she left the screening room earlier. Sang Min had probably fainted during that time. And just as she left, Yun Wu came to find her and must have coincidentally learned about this incident on her way over.. Chapter 153 - 153: The Person Behind This Must Be Extremely Powerful Chapter 153: The Person Behind This Must Be Extremely Powerful Yun Wu was already making her way over to ask about the situation. Lin Shanchu just stood aside. She casually looked around and spotted Wen Tongtong, full of worry. Wen Tongtong was Sang Mins ultimate fan. Lin Shanchu stared at her as she tried to recall the plot of the original book. However, there were very few plotlines in the original book rted to SOF. It was probably because the entertainment industry had a rtively minor presence in the book. Whats Sang Mins ending? Lin Shanchu asked the System. The system gave a very slow response: [Sang Min is a character unrted to the main storyline. His oue will not have any impact on the plot.] If you dont know, just say it. Lin Shanchu mocked. The system could not stand this blow to its intelligence, especially since it had just been freshly updated. It blurted out: [Hes dead.] The shock from hearing that jerked Lin Shanchus head up to look toward Wen Tongtong. Although she wasnt one to chase after idols, she understood how impactful they were to everyone else. Feeling Lin Shanchus gaze, Wen Tongtong met her eyes. When did you get here? Wen Tongtong hadnt noticed Lin Shanchus arrival earlier. Just a moment ago, Lin Shanchu replied. A while ago, there were media reports about Sang Min having a terminal illness, but Sang Min had specifically released a medical report just to refute those rumors Wen Tongtong continued with a sad smile, Lin Shanchu do you think hell be alright? Lin Shanchu just stood in silence with an emotionless face. Whats with your expression? Wen Tongtongs face gradually grew pale. Lin Shanchus voice sank, Life is unpredictable. Birth, aging, sickness, death they are all normal urrences. Those words werent very consoling. Wen Tongtong frowned and said, Dont be so pessimistic. In the next second, someone yelled, The results are out! The entire screening room bustled with noise. Sang Min died! How is that possible? This is a f * cking rumor! Its the news released by SOFs official ount. The whole room fell dead silent. Wen Tongtong looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. And soon, the sound of sobbing slowly echoed throughout the screening room. The hashtag #SOFCaptainSangMinDiesDespiteRescueEfforts went viral. Sang Mins fans flooded the official ounts of SOF, demanding the truth. SOFs official ount had already issued an emergency statement in the early hours. But the announcement only mentioned that Sang Mins cause of death was cardiac arrest. To find out more about the details, an autopsy report was required and to get an autopsy report, they needed the signature of one of his family members. Sang Mins family was already on their way back from China. So, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for both the entertainment industry and its fans. Regardless, the trainees were escorted by the staff back to their dorms to rest. Upon their return to their dormitory, Lin Shanchu noticed that Yun Wus eyes were red and swollen. A few of her roommates were also huddled together, crying. Lin Shanchu was the only one in the entire room who didnt shed tears. She poured a ss of water for Yun Wu, and without saying much, climbed into her bed to sleep. The next morning, Lin Shanchu woke up to find Sang Mins name no longer on the trending search list. She took out her phone and scrolled through the rankings, but Sang Mins name was nowhere to be seen. The captain of a famous international boy band suddenly died, how could such explosive newsst only one night? Its barely even been twelve hours. Lin Shanchu scavenged through several other social media tforms but didnt find any topics rted to Sang Mins death as well. Not only were there no rted topics but there were also almost no rted discussions among theizens. Someone was manipting everything behind the scenes. There were plenty of people in the entertainment industry who yed this game. Lu Shiyuan has removed Tang Qidais name from the trending list countless times. However, whether it was Lu Shiyuan or people from the entertainment industry, they have never handled things as cleanly as these people did with Sang Min. There was almost no trace of him at all. She couldnt even find anything on the search engine. This wasnt just a matter of having money. The person behind this must be extremely powerful. Lin Shanchu remembered the system saying that Sang Mins ending would not affect the plot. However, the main storyline had already started to change because she was aware of this. Was there a possibility that she was the main character and all the things and people she encountered would be connected to the main plot? Lin Shanchu had a feeling that Sang Mins death would potentially introduce new variables. Since she could not discuss anything rted to the plot with the others, she only told the system about her thoughts. The system agreed with her: [Theoretically speaking, thats true. However, the fact was that SOF did not have a sense of existence in the original plot. They were only briefly mentioned and their settings were set to be simr to NPCs in games.] Even after saying so much, the system still didnt say anything about Lin Shanchus spection that SOF was rted to the main plot. Lin Shanchu was getting a bit frustrated, Alright, stop talking. Why was it always so difficult for her tomunicate with the system? Sensing Lin Shanchus change in mood, the system did as it was told. After contemting for a moment, Lin Shanchu spoke up. Weve been together for so long and still have difficulty withmunicating and establishing trust. I dont think theres a need for us to cooperate anymore. [Huh???] Lin Shanchu continued, Since you were able to bond with me, there must be a way to unbind yourself. [You want to break our bond?] Or maybe I can switch to a different system. She had endured this useless system long enough. It had aplished almost nothing except acting like it had a serious mental illness all the time. The system was panicking so much that its response was a mess: [Thats not possible. I can only un-unbind once Iplete the mission. Only bypleting the task can the binding be lifted. M-My mission is to achieve a grand finale with a happy ending.] Its mechanical voice sounded like it had an unstable electric current, causing its speech to be choppy. It sounded a little pitiful. But Lin Shanchu didnt feel sorry for it. What if you dontplete the mission? she asked. [Then you will be punished within the book.] Lin Shanchu felt a little disappointed, Hmm, I thought you would just explode. The system sounded the rm: [Danger!] Lin Shanchu coldly snorted, Its not toote for you to think of a way to remove this bond. Better start thinking of a way starting now! She had never promised the system that she would help it achieve a grand finale with a happy ending. She didnt even n to survive until the grand finale. Lu Shiyuan must die! Even if they were to perish together. He must die! The poprity of My Stage had beenpletely suppressed since the disbandment of SOF and Sang Mins death. Plus, many of the trainees were saddened by the incident with Sang Min and were not in a good emotional state. So, the production crew made an exception and gave them three days off. During this break, they also had a team-building activity. The canteen hosted a hotpot meal for everyone so they could eat together. Thankfully, once their break ended and the results of the rankings were released, the trainees felt much better. However, the number of eliminations this round was the highest. A total of twenty-eight people were eliminated. Among them was Ning Yunxi. She burst into tears on the spot and said, Huhuhu- Finally, Ive been expecting this day. Although she was always emotional, deep down she was very clear-minded. She knew her skills werent strong enough to make it to the finals. Comment section: [Shes crying again] [Ning Yunxi has been incredibly lucky toe this far. Why isnt she satisfied?] Surprisingly, when it was time for her to deliver her farewell speech, Ning Yunxi stopped crying. She began, I believe at this moment, there are surely many peoplementing Ning Yunxi, youre incredibly lucky to havee this far Comment section: [Has Ning Yunxi been spying on thements?] [Bahahahaha! This hit my funny bone..] Chapter 154 - 154: Lin Shanchu’s Fans Are Just as Crazy as She Is Chapter 154: Lin Shanchus Fans Are Just as Crazy as She Is Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ning Yunxi continued. .What I wanted to say was that luck didnt get me here. This statement sounded somewhat arrogant so it fired up thement section. [If not? Were you just relying on your abilities?] [Is it because youre leaving so you deliberately start arguments with your arrogant words?] [Cant you guys hear her out?] [Its like they say, all publicity is good publicity.] [I used to have a good impression of her. Why are her social skills so bad] [How many good people are there among all of those who hang out with Lin Shanchu?] Even if some left rationalments, they were in the minority and were quickly overwhelmed by the criticisms of Ning Yunxi. Ning Yunxi looked at Lin Shanchu, who was standing at the highest position. Then, she looked at Wen Tongtong. She smiled and said, The reason why I could stand here today was all thanks to Lin Shanchu and Wen Tongtongs hard work. Everyone knows how slow I am and how hard they worked to teach me. Comment section: [Sorry for criticizing her too soon.] [You people are so rude, you cant even listen to others until they finish speaking.] [Our little crybaby sister deserves this!! ! ] Let me tell you guys something, you might not believe it but I actually know how to raise pigs. Ive been learning to raise pigs over the years and Im getting quite good at it. I like raising pigs Huhuhu- Ning Yunxi couldnt help but burst into tears again. Her face was chubby with a hint of baby fat. When she cried, she didnt care about what she looked like, making her appear adorable and childlike. All the trainees who had interacted with Ning Yunxi before smiled. Shes so cute when she cries. Whats going on? Seeing her cry makes me want tough. Hahahaha! The viewers in the live broadcast chat shamelessly flooded thements with a wave of Hahaha. [I might be a pervert, but I find her crying both cute and funny.] [Pervert +1] [Just because she cant debut doesnt mean she has to leave the entertainment industry, right? She still has a decent fan base. Isnt anypany signing her up?] Lin Shanchu looked at Ning Yunxi and couldnt help butugh, Didnt you say you like raising pigs? Why are you crying? Im just a little reluctant. Ning Yunxi sniffled and wiped away her tears. She squeezed out a big smile. Goodbye, everyone. Im going back to raising pigs and benefiting society. A bittersweetughter rang throughout the team. The sentimental atmosphere lightened up because of Ning Yunxis humor. Once all the trainees finished their farewell speeches, the recording came to an end. Ning Yunxi walked up to Lin Shanchu, pitifully asking, Sister, will youe to see me off when I leave? When are you leaving? Lin Shanchu asked. Right away. Lin Shanchu was caught speechless, Didnt you say you were reluctant to? You can never trust a womans words. Just within Lin Shanchus dorm alone, almost half of the trainees had been sent home. Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu saw them off together. Their dormitory had the most people, so when they came out, they caused a massive crowd. Yun Wu had been in a low mood since the day SOF was disbanded. When they were parting ways, Yun Wu hugged them and shed tears once again. Ning Yunxi wailed as she ran back to hug Lin Shanchu, Sister, give me your phone number. Ill contact you once youe out. Wen Tongtong handed over a stack of sticky notes and a pen. Lin Shanchu wrote down her number, tore off the sticky note, and handed it to Ning Yunxi, You can add me on WeChat directly. Alright! Ning Yunxi tucked the note away and waved goodbye to everyone. She dragged her 28-inch suitcase with her as she flew off without looking back. As she ran, she shouted, My beloved fried chicken hotpot, delicious skewers, my coke, and King of Glory!! Im back!! This was probably what people meant when they say Im so happy I could fly? Yun Wu whined in envy, I want to y games too. Lin Shanchu touched the phone in her pocket and was about to say something when Wen Tongtong interrupted her. Can you write your number for me too? Wen Tongtong handed over the pen and paper again. Lin Shanchu turned around with an awkward expression. Wen Tongtong felt a bit embarrassed as well. Wen Tongtong had previously joined hands with Xia Jinmeng to take down Lin Shanchu, so she probably didnt expect Lin Shanchu to want anything to do with her after they left. To her surprise, Lin Shanchu didnt even question her and wrote down her number. Lin Shanchu already knew what Wen Tongtong was thinking when she saw the surprised expression on her face. s, the rtionships built between people were fragile. People can ask for your contact information, but they might not contact you in the end. Its amon thing to forget a familiar face in a sea of strangers after a while, like they say, peoplee and go. Your ranking is quite high though, Lin Shanchu remarked. In this training camp, asking for contact information usually meant one of you was leaving. You never know. Wen Tongtong smiled indifferently. In the past, she tried so hard to please Xia Jinmeng, forming cliques with her, just to gain nothing in the end. Wen Tongtong was unsure if it was because Lin Shanchu influenced her, but she had be more open-minded since then. After all the eliminated trainees left, there were still over forty remaining trainees recording the third round of selections. There have been some adjustments to the selection rules for the third round, the host exined. All the songs for this round have been chosen through open voting by fans on social media tforms The trainees were caught by surprise. Comment section: [Theres such a thing?] [I almost forgot about this. The voting results came outst night, right?] [I just checked the voting results. Damn, Im shocked!] [Shocked about what? Lin Shanchus song?] [Are Lin Shanchus fans serious?] [They say fans always follow their idols, so maybe Lin Shanchus fans are as crazy as she is?] [Although Ive ndered Lin Shanchu before, I feel a little sorry for her now.] Lin Shanchu was unaware that her haters in thements were starting to sympathize with her. She was busy pondering how the production crew had so many tricks up their sleeves. She was even waiting curiously to see which song her fans had chosen for her. The host began announcing the songs one by one, starting with the lower-ranking trainees. Yun Wus fans had chosen a popr song for her that suited her style very well. Yun Wu herself was also very satisfied with it. She faced the camera, made a heart sign, and said, I love you guys. Next up was Lin Shanchus turn. She was really looking forward to her song. The host, as usual, loved to keep the fans in suspense, The song chosen for Lin Shanchu is The trainees shouted the name of the song in unison: Valley of A Thousand Despairs! Valley of A Thousand Despairs was a popr hit song in the first half of the year. Itbined elements of fantasy with a choreography that was out of this world. Everyone felt that it suited Lin Shanchu well. Lin Shanchus previous performances were very different from the impression she gave others, so everyone was excited to see her dance to this graceful, ethereal tune. The host hyped the crowd, Do you want to see Lin Shanchu dance Valley of A Thousand Despairs? Yes! the crowd boomed in unison Me too. the host replied. The crowd fell speechless. Theyve been duped! Judging from the hosts reply, she definitely wasnt performing Valley of A Thousand Despairs.. Chapter 155 - 155: Even Though I Criticize You, It Doesn’t Stop Me From Feeling Bad For You Chapter 155: Even Though I Criticize You, It Doesnt Stop Me From Feeling Bad For You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The trainees were all surprised. Other songs that the fans had chosen were in line with the style of their idols, so logically, Lin Shanchus fans would have chosen Valley of A Thousand Despairs. Lin Shanchus fans are thergest in number and the most influential. Its hard to believe they didnt have this kind of tacit understanding, right? The other trainees were more curious than Lin Shanchu herself about what song her fans had chosen for her. Thement section was still sympathizing with Lin Shanchu. [I cant take it anymore. I really want to tell them] [I cant wait to see their reaction once they find out which song Lin Shanchus fans had chosen.] [Lin Shanchu has no clue.] [The fans are ruthless.] [Can someone tell me which song is it??] [Its Ind in the Sky!] [What the hell???] At the same time, the host finally revealed, The song the fans had chosen for her was Ind in the Sky! As soon as his voice trailed off, the entire studio fell into a familiar silence. Soon after, the scene flooded with ovepping discussions. Why would they choose this song? F * ck, no way! Her fans really have unique ideas. Yun Wu nced at Lin Shanchu, hesitant to speak the words at the tip of her tongue. Lin Shanchu asked with a faint voice, Is it that Ind in the Sky where Ran Zhimo sings while holding up three fingers? Yun Wu nodded. Lin Shanchu froze upon Yun Wus confirmation. Yun Wu tried tofort her, Rap isnt that difficult. Its actually quite Looking at Lin Shanchus hopelessly nk face, Yun Wu trailed off. To a non-professional, rap was not something that could be mastered in a short period. Comment section: [Im imagining Lin Shanchu in a dress while performing this. That would really be awkward] [Help, Im about to bury my head in the sand.] [I bet Lin Shanchu is really thanking you guys right now.] [Why are Lin Shanchus fans doing this?] [Im one of the fans who voted for Ind in the Sky. Our point is to have President Lin put on a show!] [Thats right. We did thorough research. Lin Shanchu doesnt have any foundation in rap, hence why we chose this.] The other fans were all shocked. [I can tell from Lin Shanchus expression that you guys really understood her so well.] They even went so far as to find Lin Shanchus weak spot. The recording continued. Other than that, for this performance, there will be seven guests coborating with each team member toplete the subsequent adaptation and performance. The host continued, This is the finalpetition before the finals. I wish you all great sess. The audience in the live broadcast instantly erupted. Names of male idols and male celebrities flooded the chat. Completely in the dark about who the guests would be, someone started a conversauonreau: [Do you think they invited Tang Qidai to coborate with Lin Shanchu?] [Pfft! Tang Qidai?] [With the style of this production crew, its possible.] [Im already getting excited. Hahahaha.] [Why not go one step further and invite Lu Shiyuan as well?] [If Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidai were to quarrel on stage, wouldnt the viewership ratings explode?] [Hahahaha! Im dead, you guys really dare to dream. My God] The news of Lin Shanchus fans voting for Ind in the Sky was trending. Theizensmented in all sorts of ways: [Lin Shanchu? Ind in the Sky? Am I hallucinating?] [Isnt Ind in the Sky a rap song?] [Are Lin Shanchus fans serious?] [They said that the fans deliberately chose this song to get Lin Shanchu eliminated.] [I mean, a crazy idol will have crazy fans right?] [I was about to lose interest in My Stage, but once I heard Lin Shanchu was performing Ind in the Sky hey!] [Ohh, I get why now! Lin Shanchus haters are her biggest fans..] In the previous episodes, everyone wanted to see Lin Shanchu fail. However, not only did she not fail, she thrived. When the show allowed the fans to vote for the songs, everyone thought the fans would choose the most suitable song to showcase Lin Shanchus abilities. Therefore, their expectations werent that high. No one expected Lin Shanchus fans toe up with such a move at thest minute. This time, she was really going to beughed at. Netizens from all walks of life became spirited and even spread the news: Have you heard? Lin Shanchu is performing Ind in the Sky. Netizens couldnt resist leavingments on Lin Shanchus Weibo: [This is both tragic and funny.] [Even though I criticize you, it doesnt stop me from feeling bad for you.] [Even though I nder you, Ill be understanding this time and go easy on you.] [Have your fandom been infiltrated by the enemy?] [Your fans are even more malicious than the haters. You realize that, right?] Lin Shanchu couldnt care less anymore. This time, she was truly unable to perform. No matter who joined her, she was bound to fail miserably. Her fans really understood her too much to the point they knew to target her weak spot. Lin Shanchu, Im here! Ran Zhimo rushed towards her. Lin Shanchu pushed her away, Think again. Theres no need for thinking, Im here to join you! Ran Zhimo stood behind her anyway. I cant rap, Lin Shanchu said very straightforwardly. I know, Ill teach you, Ran Zhimo had a look of sympathy on her. Lin Shanchu had no words. She thought that this time, just like before, none of the contestants would want to join her team. But the reality was just the opposite. Contestants who could rap werepeting to join Lin Shanchus team. Each time someone came, Lin Shanchu would ask, Have you thought it through? The contestants nodded firmly, some even eagerly, as if they were afraid there wouldnt be any spots left if they waited too long. Fine then. She didnt understand what these girls were thinking. She couldnt see through her own fans thoughts either. Wen Tongtong walked up to her and stopped. With a look of defeat, Lin Shanchu asked, You want to join me too? Wen Tongtong shook her head. She raised a hand to pat her shoulder and said, Good luck! Since the beginning of the selection process, every contestant who passed by Lin Shanchu, regardless of whether or not they were familiar with her, would sincerely wish her Good luck. Lin Shanchus ears were getting numb from hearing it. Thement section took amusement to Lin Shanchus hopelessness. [Lin Shanchu really looks pitiful, hahaha. ] [Yup, thats her. Miserable, but funny.] [This is ridiculous. Even the haters were starting to sympathize with her.] [Lin Shanchus fans, pleasee and take a good look at her. Dont you feel guilty?] [The heartache is temporary. Once Lin Shanchu is eliminated, plenty of production crews were waiting to snatch her up!] [As a bystander, I think its a shame if Lin Shanchu isnt able to deliver. But I still feel this is too ridiculous.] In all of the selection processes in the past, Lin Shanchus team was always thest to get filled. But this time, her team was the first to reach maximum capacity.. Chapter 156 - 156: A Major Illness Can Be Considered an Unforeseeable Event Chapter 156: A Major Illness Can Be Considered an Unforeseeable Event Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu turned to face her other four teammates who were standing in a row. All her teammates simultaneously gave her a kind smile. At this moment, they noticed another contestant charging towards them. Including Ran Zhimo, the other four teammates quickly waved their hands and said, Were all full here, you can go find another team! The contestant left in disappointment. The production crew also noticed that Lin Shanchus team wasplete and quickly switched the camera angle to them. Lin Shanchu and her four teammates exchanged nces before she suddenly asked in a serious tone, Were you guys kidnapped by the production crew? If they werent kidnapped by the program crew, she couldnt understand why the other teammates, apart from Ran Zhimo, would voluntarily join her team. The director defended from behind, shouting, Lin Shanchu, our program is open and fair. Comment section: [Lin Shanchu dares to say anything.] [She forced the director to justify himself.] [Seeing as how they didnt flinch, they werent kidnapped.] [If I were them, I would also be willing to join Lin Shanchus group.] [Yeah, Lin Shanchu is popr, so shell get more screen time. But she cant rap, so the audience will pay attention to her teammates] The teammates all shook their heads simultaneously. We all joined voluntarily. We like rap. Yes, yes, yes. We also like Lin Shanchu a lot. As Lin Shanchu looked at these sincere smiling faces, she finally realized what was going on. In the previous few episodes, no one dared to choose her because they had little interaction with her and know her well enough. They were afraid that she wouldnt be able to keep up with them and drag them down. But now, they were more than halfway through the show. Everyone had a good understanding of what Lin Shanchus personality was like. She was popr and easy to get along with. Although she was Lu Shiyuans fiance, she was not pretentious at all. She would work hard during training just like everyone else. They also realized the poprity of the trainees who had been paired up with Lin Shanchu in the previous two matches also rose. And in talent shows, poprity was king. After the three selections, thepetition would be increasingly fierce and everyone had to give their all to showcase themselves. Otherwise, they wouldnt have a chance to move on. Plus, this time, since Lin Shanchu couldnt rap, this performance was riding on the performance of the other four teammates. Who wouldnt want to grab this free publicity opportunity? The selection process quickly came to an end. Comment section: [Can the production crew broadcast the entire process this time? Honestly, Im looking forward to seeing Lin Shanchus rap. Hahaha.] [Do you want to see Lin Shanchu rap or do you just want to watch a pretty girl make a fool of herself?] [I want to see it too.] [Me too. I wish the production crew were looking at thesements.] The recording ended sessfully after the first round of selections. The real-time discussions and viewership ratings were so high the director was smiling ear to ear. The trainees returned to the training room as the production crew packed up their equipment. When Lin Shanchu walked past the director, he looked at her cheerfully and said, Good luck. Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks. She panned her focus to the director with a grave expression. The director was stunned, Whats wrong? Im sick, Lin Shanchu said seriously. Huh? Im seriously ill. The director was at a loss for words. A major illness can be considered an unforeseeable event, she continued. What are you trying to do? The director started to panic. Its written in the contract that in the event of an unforeseen circumstance. you are allowed to freely withdraw from the show. The directors hair was standing on end at this point, Dont simply say things like that. Its not my decision to make. He then gestured to Ran Zhimo, Quickly, bring your captain to training. As Lin Shanchu was being dragged away, she still turned her head back to shout, I really have an illness! Their instructor had already been waiting for them in the training room. This time, it was Bai Yu who came to instruct them. Once she saw Lin Shanchu dragging herself in, she couldnt help but chuckle. Poor Lin Shanchu. This time, the workload had increased. They needed to create a new choreography for Ind in the Sky. Bai Yu asked everyone for their ideas on it. Once everyones turn to share their thoughts ended, they all turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Everyone knew that Lin Shanchu didnt want to participate in this, but teamwork was necessary when they were performing on stage. So of course, they still needed to listen to Lin Shanchus opinion. Even as she was under everyones gaze, Lin Shanchu could only stare obliviously with an expression that indicated that she wasnt dead or alive. Life is like a bubble, it bursts with a blow. Some stay arrogant and the cold-hearted flow. Others break the altar, unleashing the darkness. One thought turns demonic, they leave their mark, regardless. Perhaps it was because she was slurring in such a negative tone, but the way she recited it so slowly sent shivers down everyones spine. The training room fell into a brief silence. Were those lyrics impromptu? Bai Yu was the first to break the silence. Yes, Lin Shanchu still sounded dead as ever Bai Yu couldnt help butugh. Lin Shanchu let out a sigh of despair, leaned back, and leaned against the wall with ack of enthusiasm. His face had I want to escape, but I cant written all over it. The cameraman had been secretly directing the camera at Lin Shanchu this whole time, filming her as he giggled behind the scene. Lin Shanchu usually carried a gentle smile on her face wherever she went, so this look of despair was a stark contrast from her usual self. Her teammates had also never seen this side of Lin Shanchu and couldnt help but find it entertaining. Bai Yu quickly gave her guiding tips and left. The team gathered together to discuss their choreography. Although everyone was mainly focused on the poprity and screen time they would have, they didnt want to neglect Lin Shanchu in the process. They decided to gather around her to discuss. They were also considerate of Lin Shanchus emotions and asked for her opinion on everything they discussed. Although Lin Shanchu knew nothing about rap, she had a basic sense of appreciation for it. Whenever there was a debate among the group, she would be the one to conclude. Once everyone was satisfied with the idea, Ran Zhimo suggested, Should we try practicing? Everyone nced at Lin Shanchu once again. Sure, lets try. Lin Shanchu perked up and decided to cooperate. Ran Zhimo took the lead, and soon everyone got into the groove. When the practice session, everyone praised Lin Shanchu. Not bad, President Lin. Yeah, she did pretty well. With more practice, shell definitely impress them. Go, Captain! Lin Shanchu denied them, Guys, you dont have to be so modest. I know I was offbeat and everything throughout the whole practice. Lin Shanchu knew that they were trying to encourage her. Ran Zhimoforted her, Its alright, theres still time to improve. Lin Shanchu nodded. Then she stood up and said, Im going to the restroom.. Chapter 157 - 157: There Will Always Be Someone Who Loves You For Who You Are Chapter 157: There Will Always Be Someone Who Loves You For Who You Are Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As Lin Shanchu hurriedly left the training room, she faintly heard her teammates talking. She seems a bit anxious. Well, who wouldnt be? I wonder what her fans are thinking. However, she isnt putting on airs at all Youre just realizing that? Lin Shanchu felt a bit withdrawn. She also wanted to know what her fans, who worked so hard to push her to the top, were thinking. Even if they were to choose a square dance song for her, she wouldntin. But she truly couldnt rap. Out of habit, Lin Shanchu locked herself into the innermost cubicle stall. Then, she took out her phone and went online. She pulled up the search bar Good heavens! There were multiple topics about her going viral on the trending search list. #LinShanChusThirdPerformanceIndIntheSky #LinShanchusFans #LinShanchusGreatInjustice #LinShanchusHatersFeelHeartache All the other trending topics rted to #MyStage and the selection process had all been overshadowed. Despite filling up most of the top search list spots, her topics had not made it to the top of the list The number one most trending topic was #AlecReturnsToChina. Alec? The SOF member that Ning Yunxi liked so much? Was he also in China? A few days ago, all of Sang Mins trending topics vanished without a trace overnight, and there have been no follow-up reports since. Now suddenly, one of the team members, Alec, had been spected to have returned to the country. Especially since there wasnt any follow-up, this naturally attracted the medias attention. Lin Shanchu clicked on the topic. She thought she would see interviews or videos rted to it, but all that was shown was a blurry paparazzi photo of Alec. She noticed some people had mentioned Sang Min as well. [Why did Alec return so quickly? Whats going on with Sang Mins situation?] [Its been days, isnt thepany going to exin to Sang Mins fans?] [Werent Alec and Sang Min the closest bandmates? Seeing as he returned out of the blue like this, does he not care about Sang Min anymore?] [Thepany hasnt concluded yet, so they must still be investigating. What do you expect Alec to do?] [What? Are they not allowed to move on with their life? Let Sang Mins family handle his matters! Alec and Sang Min were just bandmates, not real brothers] [Do Alecs fans reallv have to zet so defensive? They were just savinq that Alecs return was too quick and it wasnt considerate to Sang Min, thats all.] [Stop talking as if Alec caused Sang Mins death! You guys better watch your words!] The two fanbases started arguing. However, it was clear that Alecs fans were more numerous and more capable of confrontation. So, Sang Mins fans soon retreated. Regardless of whether the team disbanded or not, it was not umon for fans to fight each other in the entertainment industry. Lin Shanchu exited the topic and clicked on the ones rted to herself. She wanted to see why her fans chose Ind In the Sky for her. As soon as she entered the topic discussion, she saw a series of posts from her haters sympathizing with her. Then, she scrolled down to see the posts by her fans that were tagged with the hashtag. [Weve been researching for so long and finally found Sisters weakness. Lets hope that she will be eliminated from acting.] [Ranking isnt the most important thing, poprity is.] [Sister is already popr now. Even if she doesnt debut, it doesnt mean that everyones money was wasted.] [Thats right. If we manage to sessfully eliminate her, the other sisters would be able to have another opportunity to showcase their outstanding professional abilities.] Lin Shanchu didnt know whether tough or cry. But as she read further, she unexpectedly felt more and more that her fans had a point. Her original intention for joining My Stage was to avoid being captured and imprisoned by Lu Shiyan. She wasnt particrly interested in singing and dancing. When she stumbled across Nan Mu, she had already made it clear that she would not have a chance in this. Her expertise lies in acting. What she didnt expect was for everything to develop opposite from what she had imagined. She immediately soared into the debut position and consistently maintained first ce. Lin Shanchu was torn. These fans, who were strangers to her, could have the same thoughts as her. In this world, there were really people who were paying attention to her from afar. She just couldnt see them. As Lin Shanchu exits the topic, she sees a new trending topic. #JiangTangTalksAboutLinShanchusThirdPerformanceSongSelection Jiang Tang? Yun Wus friend? Lin Shanchu remembered her because thest time she visited the set, she brought Lin Shanchu a gift. Lin Shanchu clicked into it. The pinned post on the topic is an interview recording of Jiang Tang conducted by a journalist. The journalist started by asking, As a big fan of Lin Shanchu, what are your thoughts on the fan vote for song selection? Jiang Tang continued with her reply, Initially when I first heard about this, I wasnt really in favor of it. Why did you change your mind? Well, its not exactly a change of mind actually because our fans opinions are secondary. Sisters thoughts are the most important. Then can you confirm whether Lin Shanchu wants to debut or pursue acting? The finals will be after this third performance. If Sister wants to debut, she will definitely reveal her intention to debut in the uing live streams. Its still too early to conclude. You are truly an extraordinary fan. Im so envious. It almost brings me to tears. No need to be envious. In life, there will always be someone in this world who loves you for who you are. After a moment of silence, the journalist said, Onest thing Go ahead. Im actually a huge fan of yours! I look up to you a lot! Jiang Tang was caught by surprise, Really? Thank you. The journalist continued, And I think after this interview, Ive grown to like you even more. Sob, sob, sob And the video ended there. This little girl, Jiang Tang, really had an element of surprise to her. After all, they were good friends of Yun Wu. However If Yunwu knew that JiangTang has been constantly voting and supporting her, would she be jealous? Lin Shanchu couldnt help but smile at the thought of this. She kept her phone back in her pocket and reminisced on what Jiang Tang said at the end of the interview: There will always be someone in this world who loves you for who you are. It turned out that there was really someone in this world who loved her that way. And their love is genuine, not hypocritical. Lin Shanchu sat in her feelings for a while before opening the cubicle door to leave. The cubicle door swung open to reveal an angry Xia Jinmeng standing outside. She crossed her arms and red at Lin Shanchu with an unfriendly expression. It looked like she had been waiting for her for a while. Lin Shanchu looked at her expressionlessly. Xia Jinmeng arrogantly raises her chin and asks, Lin Shanchu, you promised to help me snatch Lu Shiyuan away. Are you going back on your word? In these past few days, Lin Shanchu had not been making any moves on this. She hasnt told Xia Jinmeng about Lu Shiyuans preferences or any other details about him, which was why Xia Jinmeng suspects that Lin Shanchu wants to go back on her promise. She must be worried that if Xia Jinmeng snatches Lu Shiyuan away, she will have one morepetitor! Smack! Without warning, Lin Shanchu suddenly ps Xia Jinmeng.. Chapter 158 - 158: Some People Were Simply Born Bad Chapter 158: Some People Were Simply Born Bad Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Xia Jinmeng was taken aback by the sudden p. Her initial response was to subconsciously cover her face. Only after a few seconds did she react. Lin Shanchu, you bitch! How dare you hit me! Xia Jinmeng roared and was about to retaliate. Lin Shanchu was prepared. She took a step back and pushed the toilet cubicle door open which caused Xia Jinmengs hand to hit the door. There was a loud bang. Xia Jinmeng cried out in pain. ring at Lin Shanchu, she cursed fiercely, Lin Shanchu, do you really think I wont do anything to you?! Lin Shanchu responded in a grave tone, No, you should be asking me if my hand hurts. Huh? She carefully nced Lin Shanchu up and down. She noticed that Lin Shanchus expression was unusually serious and she didnt look like she was joking at all. Are you crazy? Xia Jinmeng turned around and took the chance to leave. Yet, couldnt help turning back and muttering, Lunatic. She Imew that Lin Shanchu couldnt be trusted. What could a crazy person aplish? Shed better find a solution herself. Just as Xia Jinmeng was about to take a step forward, Lin Shanchus voice resounded from behind her. Lu Shiyuan likes this. Xia Jinmeng abruptly pulled her foot back and looked at Lin Shanchu in bewilderment, What?? I said Lu Shiyuan likes this. He likes it when you dont argue back or fight back. After he hits you, if you ask him if his hand hurts, he will think youre kind, gentle, and considerate. Then, he will like you even more. Although Lin Shanchus words are so absurd, her expression is still solemn like before. Xia Jinmeng hesitated for a while before asking in confusion, Are you serious? Lin Shanchu nodded solemnly and said, To put it simply, Lu Shiyuan likes a Virgin Mary. Xia Jinmeng furrowed her brows with obvious doubt on her face, but she remained rooted in ce. Lin Shanchu was a woman who never yed by the rules. Although she still felt that Lin Shanchus words were beyond ridiculous, she still held a glimmer of hope from hearing something useful. She had indeed chosen the right person. Lin Shanchu could tell that Xia Jinmeng was starting to consider what she said and slowly smiled. Do you know why Lu Shiyuan didnt break off the engagement with me all these years?Lin Shanchus tone was full of suggestive meaning. As expected, Xia Jinmeng asked, Why? Lin Shanchus smile stretched a little wider, Because I dont fight for him. Xia Jinmeng felt that Lin Shanchus smile was indescribably strange, but she kept quiet. Lin Shanchu continued, Lu Shiyuan has been together with Tang Qidai for years. Their rtionship is well-known. But, have I ever openly expressed my dissatisfaction with their rtionship? Lin Shanchu added in a fake surprised tone, Oh, I meant before I entered My Stage. Xia Jinmeng started to recall. Over the years, there had been countless rumors about Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidais affair everyvvhere. But as his actual fiance, Lin Shanchu was like an invisible person. There was no such person in the entertainment industry. Were those absurd things Lin Shanchu said just now actually true? Could it be that Lu Shiyuan really liked the Virgin Mary type as Lin Shanchu said? Lin Shanchu concluded, So, thats why Lu Shiyuan likes women who are forgiving and patient even when they are suffering. You know? Xia Jinmengs lips twitched, looking like she wanted to say something but was hesitant. Lin Shanchu noticed but didnt ask further. She circled Xia Jinmeng and finally ced her hand on Xia Jinmengs shoulder. Her voice was soft and gentle. Your personality and Lu Shiyuans preferences are worlds apart. So from now on, you have to start learning. Xia Jinmeng felt chills, Learning what? Learning the skills of a Virgin Mary of course! You have to be understanding, gentle, thoughtful, considerate, and enduring. These were the characteristics given to Lin Shanchu in the original book. Xia Jinmeng still insisted that something was amiss, Does Lu Shiyuan really like this kind of woman? Lin Shanchu said patiently, Once the program is over, I can take you to see how Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan get along when they are together. Youll naturally believe it then. Xia Jinmeng recalled what happened to her and Tang Qidai in the orphanage when they were young. Every once in a while, someone woulde to the orphanage to adopt a child. She and Tang Qidai would be ced in the same room. Tang Qidai was well-behaved and good-tempered. She was the child the adults loved the most. However, only Xia Jinmeng, who had spent most of her time with her, knew that Tang Qidai was not only hot-tempered and vicious, but she was also very good at pretending. Therefore, Tang Qidai got herself adopted by the richest family present that day in the orphanage. Thinking of the past, Xia Jinmeng sneered softly, You dont need to show me. I believe you. Oh? Lin Shanchu tilted her head, Why is that? Xia Jinmeng began, When we were kids, Tang Qidai was the favorite child of the adults in the orphanage because she was obedient and kind-hearted. Then, she asked Lin Shanchu, Isnt that ridiculous? So, what was the truth? Lin Shanchu knew how well Tang Qidai could conceal herself, so she wasnt surprised to hear this. The orphanage principal used to have a cat. It was round, fluffy and everyone loved it. Xia Jinmeng relived her memories as she spoke. Tang Qidai also acted as if she loved it But that cat died on Tang Qidais fifth birthday. Xia Jinmeng turned to look at Lin Shanchu, Guess how it died? Lin Shanchus face darkened, but she didnt say anything. Xia Jinmeng didnt actually expect Lin Shanchu to answer. So, she went on Tang Qidai strangled it because the principal forgot her birthday and didnt prepare a birthday cake for her. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips. Why? Why else? Xia Jinmengughed, Its to retaliate against the principal for not preparing a birthday cake for her. Lin Shanchus expression turned sour. She thought that Tang Qidai had be who she was today after she was adopted by the Tang family and met Lu Shiyuan. But it turned out that some people were simply born bad. I had bad luck from a young age. I watched Tang Qidai strangle that cat and was even forced to bury it for her. Im afraid the principal still doesnt know how horrible of a death her beloved kitten suffered. With a cold sneer, Xia Jinmeng looked at Lin Shanchu but found her expression unusually grim. Whats wrong with you? She observed Lin Shanchu intensely for a moment and said, Dont tell me youre afraid now? Ahh Lin Shanchu, youre soft. Youre all bark and no bite. It was no wonder why Lin Shanchu couldnt surpass Tang Qidai all this while.. Chapter 159 - 159: Who Uses Pole Dancing as Punishment? Chapter 159: Who Uses Pole Dancing as Punishment? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu looked up at Xia Jinmeng. She stared at Xia Jinmeng coldly and said, If you want to snatch Lu Shiyuan away from Tang Qidai, then work hard to change your temper. Lin Shanchu began to leave. Wait a minute. Xia Jinmeng reached out to pull her back. Although Lin Shanchu skillfully avoided her grasp, she still stayed to hear her out, Speak. Xia Jinmeng nced at her pocket and said, Let me borrow your phone. Lin Shanchu hesitated. Her hesitation made Xia Jinmeng impatient and she threatened, If you dont lend it to me, Ill report you! Lin Shanchus tone was filled with disdain as she replied, Do whatever you want. She wouldnt let Xia Jinmeng borrow her phone even if she threatened to report her. You Xia Jinmeng was furious. But she could only watch as Lin Shanchu walked away. It didnt take long for Lin Shanchu to return to the training room. The director came to look for her and Nan Mu apanied him. Nan Mu seemed to have juste from an event since he appeared with a suit zer hanging over his arm. Lin Shanchu, could youe out for a moment? Lin Shanchu informed her teammates and stepped outside. Nan Mu and the director waited for her in the public area outside the training room. Many trainees were peering at the door, curious to know why they called out Lin Shanchu. The director spoke first, Hand it over. He extended his hand out to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu knew what he was talking about. But she pretended to y dumb, What? That idiot Xia Jinmeng actually reported her for hiding her phone. The director nced at Nan Mu for help. But he found that he had turned to face the sky with an impression saying I dont know anything. This is none of my business. The director sighed helplessly, The phone. Wasnt my phone confiscated? Lin Shanchus eyes were innocent and clear. I handed it to you on the day I came in. For a second, the director started to suspect that Xia Jinmeng had deceived him. But on second thought, he felt that Xia Jinmeng couldnt have done that. As an artist, doing such things would tarnish her reputation in the industry. So, it must be this girl, who was exceptionally good at pretending, who was the liar. The director turned to Nan Mu again and used his eyes to signal him to say something. The trainees in the distance whispered among themselves: Why are they looking for Lin Shanchu? Seems like theyre asking her for something. What do they want? I dont know. Based on Lin Shanchus appearance, it seems like shes saying she doesnt have it. Did Xia Jinmeng cause trouble again? I saw Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmenging out of the bathroom one after the other earlier The Xia Jinmeng they were gossiping about happened to also be eavesdropping near the entrance of the training room. She realized that Lin Shanchu was adamantly denying it and immediately strut over. The phone is in her shirt pocket! Xia Jinmeng deliberately raised her voice. Everyone heard it. They all looked at her. Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth. Xia Jinmeng, that idiot! The training rooms air conditioning was set low and this time, Lin Shanchus performance didnt involve much movement. So she was wearing a thin training jacket and zipped it up to the top. There was a pocket on the side of the short-sleeved undershirt she was wearing. The phone was ced there. Xia Jinmeng walked over and reached out to pull Lin Shanchus zipper. Lin Shanchu quickly held onto her jacket cor. Yun Wu, who was watching Xia Jinmengs actions from a distance, pushed through the crowd and ran over. Xia Jinmeng was smarter this time. While Lin Shanchu was holding her cor, she reached under her jacket and pulled out the phone from the pocket of her undershirt. Here it is! Xia Jinmeng proudly spun around with the phone in her hand, showing it to everyone. Lin Shanchu hid her phone. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath to calm herself and tidied up her clothes. Then, she shot a cold nce at Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng felt a chill down her spine. At this moment, Yun Wu was already standing in front of them. She witnessed the entire process of Xia Jinmeng taking out the phone from Lin Shanchus pocket. She thought that this was a new trick that Xia Jinmeng hade up with to embarrass Lin Shanchu. She didnt expect the evidence to be real this time. Sensing Yunwus gaze, Lin Shanchu felt the need to exin something. Unexpectedly, Yun Wu gave her a thumbs-up and silently mouthed, Impressive. No one had expected Lin Shanchu to actually sneak in a phone. After all, she looked so gentle and obedient. One look and you could tell that she gave off the impression of being a cooperative rule abider. Give it to me, the director pointed his extended hand toward Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng handed the phone to the director and shot Lin Shanchu a mischievously sly smirk. Everyone has handed in their phones. Lin Shanchu was the only one that has broken the rules by sneaking in her phone, Xia Jinmeng dered. Everyone understood what she meant by this. The director had to punish Lin Shanchu otherwise it would be unfair to the rest. The director and Nan Mu naturally understood Xia Jinmengs intentions. Girls tend to have apetitive mentality and Xia Jinmeng was definitely not the only one among the trainees who had such thoughts. Jinmeng is right, the director nodded with a smile. Xia Jinmeng crossed her arms triumphantly, How is the production crew going to punish Lin Shanchu? She knew that the director favored Lin Shanchu, so she deliberately took out Lin Shanchus phone in front of so many people to expose her. Although this was a small matter, Xia Jinmeng knew that if it escted, the director would be forced to give an exnation to the other trainees. She couldnt believe that he would still dare to tantly side with Lin Shanchu in front of so many people. As for Nan Mu, he wasnt allowed to say anything since he was Lin Shanchus boss. The director had been in this industry longer than Xia Jinmeng had ever been. He could see through her little tricks. Xia Jinmengs n was well-executed. However, the director gestured to the other trainees and said, Girls,e over here. The director was a good person. The trainees had a good rtionship with him, so they all obediently ran over. Lin Shanchu secretly kept a phone, breaking the rules that apply to everyone. What do you all think is an appropriate punishment for her? Xia Jinmeng suddenly felt that the situation was not looking good for her and shouted, Five hundred push-ups! Yunwu cupped her hands around her mouth, shouting louder than Xia Jinmeng, Make her sing the nursery rhyme Two Tigers! Ran Zhimo added, She should pole dance! Her teammates also joined in, Oh, make it the seductive kind. Those few guys backstage who had previously harassed Lin Shanchus legs couldnt help their perverted thoughts. More and more trainees joined in. Have her wear sexy clothes while doing it! Expose her thighs! The less she wears, the better! Lin Shanchus jaw dropped. The director and Nan Mu were also as stunned. What the hell were these girls trying to do? Xia Jinmeng couldnt believe what she was hearing. Who uses pole dancing as punishment? Wasnt this just another opportunity for Lin Shanchu to show off in front of everyone? This was a f * cking reward! However, her disagreement was quickly drowned out by everyones cheers. The director gestured for the girls to calm down, Okay, quiet down. Lets have a vote, shall we? Although he also felt that the way these girls wanted to punish Lin Shanchu was a little ridiculous, it was much better than physical punishment.. Chapter 160 - 160: It Had Nothing to Do with Me Chapter 160: It Had Nothing to Do with Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Alright. The girls obediently quieted down. The director asked, So far, besides having Lin Shanchu sing Two Tigers and perform pole dancing, does anyone have any other suggestions? Five hundred push-ups, Xia Jinmeng insisted. The director smiled and nodded, Any more? Most of them wanted to see Lin Shanchu perform a sexy dance again because they couldnt get enough of it during her performance in the second round. Everyone looked around, hoping that all of them would vote for pole dancing while secretly hoping for someone to propose another more exciting punishment for her. Suddenly, a clear voice rang out amidst the soft murmurs. Do the rabbit dance. Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and realized that it was Wen Tongtong. Ever since Wen Tongtong and Xia Jinmeng broke up and she ended up in the same team as Lin Shanchu, she had be quite reserved. She didnt talk much and would spend all day training, maintaining her mediocre ranking and a rtively low presence. Everyone was a little surprised that Wen Tongtong would express her opinion so they were all staring at her. Wen Tongtong seemed a bit ufortable getting all the attention and her expression became uneasy. The director nodded, Alright, rabbit dance. Wen Tongtong cleared her throat and added, The adult version of it while wearing a fluffy bunny girl outfit. Wow, I want to see this too. The director was speechless. He had worked on a myriad of different varieties of shows before, but this group of trainees was the most difficult to understand. He turned to look at Nan Mu, hoping to get his input on this. But when he turned around, Nan Mu was nowhere to be seen. He had already retreated to the outskirts of the crowd, behaving in a way that seemed like he wanted to stay as far away as possible. Nan Mu shot him a smile that said, Its your decision. He had once argued with Li MO about when Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou should get married. Although they couldnt decide on anything, the one thing both of them concluded was that Lin Shanchu belonged to Huo Xunzhou. How could he decide whether or not Lin Shanchu should perform pole dancing or an adult version of the rabbit dance? That was such a joke! He still wished to live a few more years. The director let out a long sigh, it turned out that the biggest victim in this was himself. He gave in and said, Alright, lets vote. Everyone write your answers on a small piece of paper. If they voted by raising their hands in public, it would definitely break the peace among the trainees. After all, Xia Jinmeng was also a debut member. And she was the only one who wanted Lin Shanchu to do five hundred push-ups. Of course, the director had to be considerate of her image and not embarrass her. Xia Jinmeng didnt like it, but she knew in her heart that there was nothing wrong with the directors approach. A member of the production crew went around with a box and collected everyones notes. When it was time to count the votes, Xia Jinmeng stepped forward, Can I count them? Without an answer, she confidently took the voting box from the staff members hand. There must be more people other than her who wanted to see Lin Shanchu suffer. So naturally, there would be a lot of people voting for Lin Shanchu to do push-ups. She was only worried that the director was biased toward Lin Shanchu and would ask the staff to fake the results. The production crew member nced at the director to seek his opinion. The director gave a gesture of approval and allowed Xia Jinmeng to handle it. When Xia Jinmeng took out the first piece of paper, she couldnt help but smile. Five hundred push-ups. The handwriting was not hers. Indeed, she wasnt the only one who disliked Lin Shanchu. The next three votes were also for Lin Shanchu to do push-ups. Xia Jinmeng was so happy that she could not help butugh as she continued reading. One vote for the rabbit dance. One vote for pole dancing. Fortunately, there was another vote for push-ups. The votes for push-ups continued to increase and were about to surpass ten people. There were only about forty votes left uncounted. Yun Wu began to worry for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu calmlyforted her, Its okay. Its just five hundred push-ups. For someone who exercises regrly, doing five hundred push-ups is not too difficult. But Yun Wu knew that Lin Shanchus physical fitness was not good. Although, Yun Wu had always been puzzled by Lin Shanchus physical endurance. Her fitness was poor but somehow she was able to endure high-intensity training, but at the same time, sometimes she appeared very weak. It was simply unlike a normal persons body. However, Lin Shanchu wasnt concerned about whether she was going to do push-ups or dance. She hid her phone, that was a fact. So, she epted the punishment. She was even hoping that Xia Jinmeng would be even harder on her and make her do a thousand. She wanted to see if she could die from exhaustion. Unfortunately, Xia Jinmengs happiness didntst long. The number of votes for push-ups stopped at nine. The rest were all for pole dancing and rabbit dancing. After reading thest vote, Xia Jinmeng reluctantly said, Now, lets announce the final result Growing impatient with Xia Jinmengs reluctance, Yun Wu shouted directly, The one with the most votes is the rabbit dance! Xia Jlnmeng red at Yun wu. Yun Wu provocatively red back. Xia Jinmeng snorted in defeat and left. The director sent a female crew member over. Everyone, please tell us about your requirements for the bunny girl outfit. Our production crew will try our best to provide a costume ording to your preferences. The trainees excitedly shouted their opinions. We want big pink ears! The kind with a tail. Since its summer, maybe the costume should have spaghetti straps. The shoes should also be furry The director silently retreated to Nan Mus side. President Nan, dont you feel that their requests are getting more and more perverted? Yes, Nan Mus expression was even more serious than the directors. Youngdies nowadays the director pondered for a long time beforepleting his sentence, They know how to y. Suddenly, Nan Mu called out in a very polite tone, Brother Yi Ming. Whats wrong? Whenever Nan Mu was so polite, Song Yi Ming would feel a bit scared. Nan Mus expression turned grave, If anyone asks, Lin Shanchus rabbit dance had nothing to do with me. Song Yi Ming was puzzled, It had nothing to do with you in the first ce. Yes, thats correct! Nan Mu was afraid that the petty Huo Xunzhou would vent his anger on him if he found out. Everyone unanimously decided to give Lin Shanchu some time to prepare. Preparing the costumes would also take time. So it was decided that she would perform the rabbit dance for everyone tomorrow night. Once the other trainees left, Nan Mu finally got the chance to talk business with Lin Shahchu. You know what your fans did, right? Lin Shanchu had a phone with her all this while, so she must be well aware of what was happening online. Lin Shanchu nodded, I know. Then, what do you think? Do you want to debut? Nan Mu couldnt guess her thoughts, so he asked her directly. All along, my goal has never been to debut. As long as the fans dont feel that it was a waste of money, it doesnt matter to me whether I debut or not. The fans had spent quite a sum of money to vote and support her, so they deserve to be respected. Nan Mu didnt try to convince her otherwise, Once youve made up your mind, let us know and thepany will make the necessary arrangements. With Lin Shanchus current poprity, forming a group might not be the best choice for her.. Chapter 161 - 161: Is Life More Important Or Is Popularity? Chapter 161: Is Life More Important Or Is Poprity? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Thank you. Lin Shanchu sincerely thanked Nan Mu from the bottom of her heart. Ever since she joined the program, Nan Mu has always consulted with her about everything that has happened so far. He was the best boss anyone could ever ask for. In a few days, your guest partner for the performance will be here to train with you. At that time, the production crew will start a live broadcast and if you present a good attitude, thepany will help to boost your publicity. Whenever Nan Mu talked about work, he would always be serious and spoke with caution. After the training ended that night, a staff member came over with a bunny girl outfit for Lin Shanchu. Hurry up and give it a try. Lin Shanchu peeped into the mouth of the bag. It was just a pile of fluffy, white fur. Ill go back to the dormitory and take a shower before trying it on, she said with a tone full of reluctance. It was one thing to be willing to ept punishment. But wearing something this provocative in front of so many people was another matter altogether. Alright, since your training is over, hurry up and take a shower, the staff member was so eager, they looked as if they were about to help bring her outfit to the dormitory themselves. The voice of her roommate suddenly emitted from the entrance of the training room. President Lin, were not in a hurry. You go wash up first. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw that all her roommates, including Yun Wu, were leaning against the door and smiling at her. Wow. She couldnt be more thankful for their thoughtfulness. Eventually, Lin Shanchu was escorted back to the dormitory with a group of girls herding behind her. She entered the bathroom and closed the door. Then, she heard Ran Zhimos voice through the door. Whether you stay in there for an hour or ten hours, we will wait for you. A burst ofughter followed. Lin Shanchu, who had originally nned to stall for as long as she could, admitted, You win. After showering, Lin Shanchu put on the bunny girl outfit and stood in front of the mirror, mentally preparing herself. After all, it was a legitimate program and the chosen clothes were reasonable in terms of size. It wasnt too inappropriate, if She ignored the ridiculouslyrge fluffy rabbit ears on her head. Ignore the tail behind. And ignore basically every exaggerating, eye-catching essory. The group of nosy people outside was extremely shrewd. They had been leaning against the bathroom door for a while and listening in. They didnt hear any water sounds or movement, so they knew that Lin Shanchu must have changed into her clothes. President Lin,e out quickly! Sister, we know youve changed your clothes. Come out quickly! Well help you see if it fits Sister, dont be shy. Sister- Each line was sweeter than thest. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath. Alright then. She opened the door and walked out expressionlessly. There was a moment of silence in the dormitory. Lin Shanchu had a rosyplexion since she had juste out from the shower. The pink and white bunny girl outfit was a perfectpliment as if it was naturally made for her. Her innocent face was an even better advantage in this situation. Even though she had a in expression, she looked even purer,pletely resembling a pitiful, timid little white rabbit that evoked sympathy. Once the silence fadedAhhhhhhhhhhh! ! Such a cute bunny girl! I want to take photos! Wheres my phone? Wake up, you dont have a phone! I dont have one too, huhuhu Who can resist this? Sister is so adorable. Sister? Thats my wife There was a moment of silence. Although Lin Shanchu looked approachable, friendly, and not distant in her interactions with others, somehow she always gives people a feeling of detachment. Except for Yunwu and Ning Yunxi, who have already been eliminated, no one dares to speak too boldly in front of Lin Shanchu. However, the term wife seemed to have unlocked some kind of taboo switch. Regardless of whether they were familiar with Lin Shanchu or not, all of the girls started to refer to her as their wife. My wife is so beautiful! I want to touch my wifes rabbit ears. I dont want to just touch her ears though Lin Shanchu considered herself a decent woman. Yet, at this moment, she couldnt help but feel flushed. Indeed, this was her punishment. Some of the lecherous girls were starting to get restless, wanting to make a move. However, Lin Shanchu had already gained enough experience in dealing with such situations. The outfit fits well. Then, Lin Shanchu swiftly turned around, closed the door, and retreated into the bathroom. Her sequence of actions was so smooth, the girls had no chance to take action. The next day, Lin Shanchu started practicing the rabbit dance. The production crew thoughtfully provided her with videos. There were always trainees sneaking over, smiling cheekily at her, saying, Sister, I know the rabbit dance. I can teach you. Lin Shanchu tried to maintain her image and rejected them politely, Thank you, but Ill practice by myself. But up to a certain point, she grew tired of upholding that facade. Whenever someone approached, she would ask with a cold face, Whats your ranking? Have you mastered your performance for the third round? In terms of ranking, Lin Shanchu was first, with the other trainees following behind her. What Lin Shanchu didnt expect was that as her attitude became colder, more people approached her. Lin Shanchu, who had never made any friends, was puzzled by this. Until Yun Wu came over. Yunwu ced her hands behind her back, imitating the other trainees and speaking in a nasal voice. Sister, I know the rabbit dance. I can teach you. Then, she tilted her head and pretended to be cute at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu just stared at her stupidly at first, but she couldnt help butugh at the end. Normally Yun Wu tends to act cool. But since she was young, watching her mock the other girls like this made her look adorable. Why are you learning from them? Lin Shanchu asked with a smile. Yun Wu frowned in disappointment, Why is your reaction different? Huh? They told me you looked so cute when you told them off with a cold expression Yun Wu switched into her mockingly nasal voice, Whats your ranking? Are you done practicing your performance for the third round? Lin Shanchu fell into contemtion. After a while, she softly muttered, Are they alright? Yunwu just battered her eyes at her and then replied in a nasal voice, But you look so cute in the bunny outfit! Lin Shanchu replied, Oh no. Its over. Yun Wu has been brainwashed. For the entire morning, the topic of discussion among the trainees was Lin Shanchu. Yesterday, after seeing Lin Shanchu in the bunny costume, the crew members went back to take pictures. Even the production crew was looking forward to Lin Shanchus bunny dance tonight. Word of this reached the directors ears. The director visited various training rooms and found that everyone was indeed talking about it. The director, who had been hitting a wall trying to find a way to increase the ratings every day, came up with a n. He took out his phone and dialed Nan Mus number. President Nan, I have a n to skyrocket the poprity of the show. What is it? Why dont we do a live broadcast of Lin Shanchus bunny dance tonight? No. Nan Mu refused without thinking. Although Huo Xunzhou wasnt in Xu City right now, he would still be online. Nan Mu could still tell the difference in importance between life and poprity.. Chapter 162 - 162: Can’t Bear the Light of Day Chapter 162: Cant Bear the Light of Day Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion How could a director, whose head had gone bald for the sake of viewership ratings, give up so easily just because his boss said no? The director quickly messaged the staff to send a photo of Lin Shanchu in her bunny girl outfit to Nan Mu. He also told Nan Mu how crazily the trainees reacted to her. Then, all of a sudden, Nan Mus business sense kicked in. He pondered. The number of years of friendship he had with Huo Xunzhou should be enough for him not to take his life, right? Maybe at most Huo Xunzhou would just disable him? When he thought of it this way, Nan Mu calmed down. Then, he said, But Even if I agree, its still pointless if Lin Shanchu disagrees. This wasnt part of the program so there was a possibility that Lin Shanchu might not agree to it. Its okay. Ill go and persuade her. The director happily hung up the phone and went to look for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu had already finished learning the rabbit dance routine in the morning and was now back in the training room. Although she was a rap rookie, she still held a basic spirit of cooperation. She couldnt let the rabbit dance affect her normal training. She was on her break along with the other trainees when the director came and called her to the side once again to rediscuss the live broadcast idea. Lets discuss it again Theres no room for discussion. The directors tone gradually became humble, Lin Shanchu, after all, Im just a director. Can you at least let me have some dignity? Im Lin Shanchu of the Lu Corporation, can you let me have some dignity? The director didnt have any more counters left so he reorganized his thoughts and decided to change his strategy. Think about it. Dont you want your fans to see the other sides of you? Hearing him mention her fans, Lin Shanchus eyes lit up slightly. Dont you know how much money they spent on you? He paused to observe Lin Shanchus expression before continuing. The amount of funds youve raised so far has already exceeded the amount the top trainee of the previous season raised. Although Lin Shanchu didnt know the exact amount raised by the previous seasons first ce, they were definitely worth tens of millions. Lin Shanchu was taken aback, That much?! Thergest sum she had ever received was the settlement money she demanded at the police station from Lu Shiyuan. Yes, they really like you very much. The director could tell from Lin Shanchus expression that she was contemting giving this a chance. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and thought for a while. The director was afraid the more she thought, the more she would convince herself to change her mind. So he started praising her, Lin Shanchu, youre simply the most beautiful, adorable, and understanding trainee Ive ever taught But before he could finish showering her withpliments, she already disappeared. The official Weibo ount for My Stage released a message: A popr contestant was found to have a hidden phone. It was decided through unanimous voting that she would be punished in public. Tune in to the official live stream of My Stage tonight at Eight PM This Weibo post was filled with a sense of ridicule. There was even a picture attached to show which group of trainees got caught. Trainees who hadnt debuted yet were considered popr contestants. Although there was no mention of who hid the phone, the words popr contestant made it quite obvious who it was. But still, the fans of the other contestants were cautious and didnt dare to simply assume responsibility for their idols. The selection process for the third round of performances had just ended, so the poprity ratings were still sky-high. This attractedizens to the scene even before the fans themselves. [There would be at least one trainee who sneaked in their phone on the show, but this was my first time hearing that they were punished for it!] [After scrolling for so long, I still havent seen any names. Does anyone know who did it?] [They deliberately didnt announce the name to create suspense. As proud as I am of the show, Im definitely not watching!] The people behind the official Weibo ount saw this and personally replied to thement: [What if it was Lin Shanchu?] Theizens immediately bombarded the thread withments. [Lin Shanchu?] [Really?] [You guys are cruel Can you start the broadcast now?] [Okay! Im going to wait in the live stream chat now, alright?] Thements from the haters followed closely behind: [Theres a problem with my Wi-Fi today, but its okay. I have plenty of data. Ill be there at eight.] [What? Lin Shanchu broke the rules and sneaked in a phone? She really has a problem with her character!] [This program is sponsored by her fianc. Whats wrong with her opening a back door and sneaking in a phone?] [Please expose her true nature as soon as possible.] Lin Shanchus fans were actually thest to hear about this: [Our sister hid her phone?] [Wow, I didnt expect President Lin to do such a thing.] [If she vited the rules, she should indeed be punished] [Seems like my President Lin has be so daring, she has even evolved into doing such things.] [So Whats the punishment?] The fans of other contestants were busy being confused while Lin Shanchus fans were being a little too brave. They actually took it as it was and were openly iming responsibility for her. Lin Shanchu had always been so gentle and honest. She never gave off the impression of someone who would secretly hide a phone. Plus, thement sent by the official Weibo ount was only rhetorical. They had left it open to discussion. But then, thinking back to what Lin Shanchus fans had done during the third round of selections The fans of the other contestants all knew that Lin Shanchus fans were indeed a little crazy. The fans of an idol reflect their true behavior was truly a saying of wisdom. They all waited quietly for the clock to strike eight. This live broadcast was not part of the official program and was broadcasted on a third-party live-streaming tform for entertainment purposes. It was a simple setup, a small stage. The production crew had already gotten into position. At eight oclock sharp, the live broadcast officially began. They didnt hire a professional host. Instead, Ran Zhimo and another trainee were the emcees. The production team originally nned to have An Youyun on stage, but she declined because she was busy with training. Although An Youyun hadnt seen how Lin Shanchu looked in a bunny girl outfit, she heard peoples praises about it wherever she went. Although she hated admitting it, Lin Shanchus appearance was indeed outstanding. She was afraid that she wouldnt be able to control her expression on stage and would embarrass herself. So, out of sight, out of mind. Which was why she didnt bother participating in this evenings live broadcast. Lin Shanchus haters arrived as promised. [Was it really Lin Shanchu?] [If its not Lin Shanchu, who else could it be?] [Who else would dare to do such a thing other than Lin Shanchu?] The fans of the other trainees began to search for their own idols. When Lin Shanchus fans arrived, they asked: [Why dont I see our President Lin? She dared to hide her phone but didnt dare toe out and face us?] [It cant be! Our sister is someone who dares to take responsibility.] Observantizens noticed that the ount that posted thisment was Jiangjiang Tangtang. [Hahaha, Tangtang actually arrived so punctually.] [Why did Jiang Tangment using her main ount?] [Tangtang had always supported Lin Shanchu openly using her main ount.] Jiang Tang nced at the messages in the live broadcast room and replied. [Liking Lin Shanchu is not something that cant bear the light of day.] The production crews staff members were paying attention to thements in the live broadcast chat. After seeing Jiang Tangsment, they intentionally switched the camera to Yun wu. The smart viewers in the live stream had already started sending out Hahaha.. Chapter 163 - 163: She’s Wasn ‘t the Only One Who Was Addressed as ‘Sister’ Chapter 163: Shes Wasn t the Only One Who Was Addressed as Sister Ever since the camera cut to Yun Wu, the entire screen was filled with peoplementing Hahaha. [I must say, we can always trust the staff of this program.] [The staff really knows how to put on a show.] [Wheres Jiang Tang?] [She probably felt guilty and ran away. She hasnt mentioned Yun Wu even once since she entered the chat. Hahahaha.] [Yun Wu must be used to it. After all, when Jiang Tang visitedst time, she only brought a gift for Lin Shanchu..] [My heart aches for Yun Wu. Hahahaha] Ran Zhimo saw the staff next to herughing and curiously asked what they wereughing about. The staff said, The viewers in the live broadcast chat are all feeling sorry for Yun wu. Ah? When Yun Wu heard her name, he turned his head to look in his direction with a dumbfounded expression, Why are they feeling sorry for me? The staff member replied, They feel sorry that Jiang Tang didnt mention you during her time in the live chat. Yun Wu sighed, Im used to it. Comment section: [Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!] [Im feeling a little touched by the friendship between Yun Wu and Jiang Tang.] Following thatment was arge number of Me too. For a moment, the atmosphere in the live chat became joyful. The production crew switched the camera to other contestants. The viewers were searching the screen for Lin Shanchu but still couldnt find her. They could have been looking through magnifying sses and Lin Shanchu would still be nowhere to be found. Impatient viewers started urging the production crew. [Was it really Lin Shanchu who hid the phone?] [Is Lin Shanchuing or not?] [Did the official Weibo ount use Lin Shanchu to trick us intoing in?] Ran Zhimo saw the signal from the directors team and lifted the microphone, Now, lets reveal who the popr contestant mentioned by the Weibo post Shes Oh just see for yourselves! The camera slowly panned to the side. In the frame, a woman with long legs and a slim waist walked towards the stage. However, the camera only captured her corbone and didnt show her face. Thement section exploded. Netizensmented: [Who is this?!!] [Even though her face isnt shown, I feel like shes seducing me.] Lin Shanchus hatersmented: [With such a good figure, its definitely not Lin Shanchu.] [What a waste of my bandwidth.] Lin Shanchus fans: [Hahahahahaha! This furry figure is President Lin?] [Ive confirmed her body shape. Its our sister! Hahahahaha!] [I can sense a trace of social death from our sisters body. Hahaha!] [Do you have to add Hahahaha in every sentence?] [Because its really funny! Hahahaha!] The production crew understood that it was time for the reveal. They couldnt keep everyone in suspense any longer and zoomed the camera out to reveal Lin Shanchus face. Hello everyone, Im contestant Lin Shanchu. Before going on stage, the production team had given her cute and rosy makeup. Paired with this bunny-themed outfit, thepatibility was off the charts. The moment they showed her face, thement section burst into excitement. Netizensmented: [My heart!] [Shes captivating me. Sob, sob, sob. Shes so cute and good-looking.] Lin Shanchus hatersmented: [Heh, so ugly.] [Bought more data just to watch Lin Shanchu embarrass herself online.] Lin Shanchus fans: [Ahh Sister in a bunny suit] [Ive been her fan for so long, but I only found out today that she was actually a rabbit!] [Sister is a rabbit, then Im the grass below her!] Ran Zhimo and another trainee went through the cueing process together and exined the whole story. Once the audience heard that Lin Shanchus rabbit dance was a punishment voted by the other trainees, thement section said: [The sisters who voted for this are my benefactors.] [I hope we have more of this next time.] [When will Lin Shanchu hide her phone again?] Lin Shanchu was a little amused. But since she was already on stage, she had to get down to business. She curled her lips and put on a professional fake smile from the bottom of her heart as the music started ying and she began to dance. When she performed a cute head tilt move, the watching contestants screamed and apuded. Ahhh, so cute!! Do it again! Nearing the end of the dance, she finished with a tail wag. The surrounding trainees became even more excited. My wife is so cute! Baby, dance again! I havent seen enough, havent I? Netizensmented: [Why are the girls calling Lin Shanchu their wife????] [This atmosphere is too intense.] Lin Shanchus fans: [Our President Lin is so domineering!] [From today onwards, Im officially Sister Rabbits fan.] Hatersmented: [You all are just exaggerating! Whats so good about her looks?] [The other sisters are so pitiful. Were they arranged by the program to just stand there and be part of the backdrop?] Lin Shanchu just wanted to get off the stage after finishing her dance. However, she was pushed back by the staff. Ran Zhimo smiled and handed the microphone to Lin Shanchu, Say a few words? I hid a phone. Although my sisters were very tolerant of me, I realized it wasnt right of me to vite the rules. Lin Shanchu sincerely admitted to the fact that she had hidden a phone. Then, she bowed to the camera and apologized. In the end, most people were reasonable and epted her apology. Her haters were still cursing at her, but they were drowned out by thements from the other viewers. Theizens had already moved on to spread the news of Lin Shanchus rabbit dance, which increased the audience in the live broadcast room even further. Naturally, the live broadcast could not end like this. However, the program team did not interfere much with the live broadcast. Once Lin Shanchu finished her rabbit dance, they let everyone do whatever they wanted. My Stage never released much material. So even if they just showed footage of the contestants daily interactions, the fans loved watching it. The production team shifted the camera to other contestants. Lin Shanchu thought she could finally leave. Sister, can we take a photo together? A girls sweet voice came from behind. Lin Shanchu didnt turn around. They were all girls here, so she wasnt the only one who was addressed as sister. Even so, Lin Shanchu couldnt help but quicken her pace. Lin Shanchu noticed the camera turning towards her and her walk immediately turned into a run. Lin Shanchu, some girls want to take a photo with you. That stopped Lin Shanchu in her tracks. This director was truly a troublemaker. Then, a bunch of young girls caught up to her and huddled around her, suggesting for the cameraman to take a photo of them. But because there were so many people, they took a group photo. The contestants looked at the photo and protested softly, I want to take a photo with my sister alone Me too Lin Shanchus face went numb at the thought of it, but she still forced a smile and said, There will still be plenty of opportunities in the future. She just wanted to quickly change out of her furry outfit. But will you still be wearing the outfit to take photos with uster? Err Of course not. And just like that, Lin Shanchu was forced to stand where she was for them to line up one by one to take their photos. Comment section: [Why does it look more and more like a fan meeting?] [Am I in the wrong livestream?] [My Stage bonus episode: Lin Shanchus Meet and Greet] [I want to take a photo with her too!] [When will the production crew arrange a fan meeting?!] Chapter 164 - 164: Set Up A Memorial Tablet In your Honor Chapter 164: Set Up A Memorial Tablet In your Honor Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Wu also wanted to take a photo with Lin Shanchu. But there were too many people so she could not squeeze in. She noticed that a staff member was looking at the live chat messages, so she went over to join them. The staff member moved aside to make room for Yun Wu. Thements in the live chat were flooding in rapidly. When the camera switched to her, everyone saw Yun Wu looking at thements and the viewers started sending her their greetings. [Great master, I bow to you.] [How are your preparations for the third round of performances going?] [Why didnt you go take a photo with Lin Shanchu?] Yun Wu gave her reply to thest message, I couldnt squeeze in. Her response amused the viewers. Jiang Tang replied: [Ah Wu, could you help me get a photo of Sister Lins bunny outfit? I want it signed.] Dream on, Yun Wu joked. Jiang Tang begged: [Pleasee?] Call me sister. [You wish.] Everyone else who witnessed this wasughing in thements. Jiang Tang and Yun Wu exchanged a few more words before ending their conversation. Yun Wu stayed on to reply to some of the messages she felt were quite interesting. Then, she saw someone ask: [How was Lin Shanchu discovered?] Thement was quickly pushed back by other iingments. Yun Wu stared at the screen thoughtfully for two seconds before deciding to turn to Lin Shanchu, who was still busy taking photos. Shanshan, someone asked how your phone hiding incident was discovered? Yun Wus tone was extremely calm as if she was casually rying a message. Lin Shanchu gave Yun Wu a calm stare back before saying lightly, I was ying with my phone in the toilet when Xia Jinmeng found out. Both of them appeared as if they were having a normal conversation. After receiving the answer, Yun Wu let out an oh as she came to a realization. The atmosphere in the live broadcast room suddenly changed. Thement section exploded: [Rumor has it that Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng dont get along, is that true?] [Xia Jinmeng looks like a nice person. Why would she do something like report someone?] [I hate snitches the most.] [What kind of mindset are you guys having? Xia Jinmeng didnt do anything wrong, did she?] [Is it possible that Xia Jinmeng reported Lin Shanchu because she refused to let Xia Jinmeng use her phone?] There were all kinds ofments in thement section, turning the situation lively. Xia Jinmeng had already left once Lin Shanchus performance ended, so she had no idea what was going on in the live chat. The other trainees were trying to hide their expressions. When the director came to collect Lin Shanchus phone that day, they all saw Xia Jinmeng take the phone out of Lin Shanchus pocket. There was no doubt that Xia Jinmeng was the one who reported Lin Shanchus possession of her phone. Even though Xia Jinmeng could be suspected of reporting her based on personal grudges, at the end of the day, she still didnt do anything wrong. This matter could have gone both ways. If no one mentioned it, it could have easily been swept under the rug. But now that Lin Shanchu, one of the people involved in this, mentioned it in public, the whole matter became a little sensitive. The audience loved this kind of drama. More people entered the stream after hearing the news. [I heard Xia Jinmeng reported Lin Shanchu for hiding her phone?] [Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng were fighting in public?] [The entertainment industry usually doesnt bring these kinds of feuds are usually not brought to the surface. Lin Shanchu really likes to take the unconventional approach.] [Is it okay to talk about this in public?] [Well, its out in the open now. How exciting!] Some of the trainees who were close to Xia Jinmeng in the live broadcast room secretly told Xia Jinmeng what was happening there. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to leave when her photo session finally ended, Xia Jinmeng arrived. Comment section: [Xia Jinmeng is here!] [Ive never wanted to see Xia Jinmeng more than at this moment.] The two of them stood face to face. Xia Jinmeng smiled and started, Im sorry. At that time, I thought that everyone was supposed to follow the rules without exception. So, naturally, I had to tell the director about your secret phone stash. The fact was that Lin Shanchu hid a phone. No matter how she tried to argue, she was always in the wrong. Xia Jinmeng understood this, which was why she dared to confront Lin Shanchu. Youre right, Lin Shanchu said calmly. Indeed, Lin Shanchu had nothing else to say. Dont let there be a next time, Xia Jinmeng advised her kindly. Lin Shanchu chuckled, Even if there was a next time, I still wouldnt lend you my phone. Xia Jinmengs expression dropped. What nonsense are you talking about? Did I ask to borrow your phone? Why are you using me? she spoke in an aggrieved tone. Xia Jinmengs fans in thement section immediately spoke up. [Lin Shanchu is too arrogant. How dare she nder Mengmeng in public!] [Mengmeng would never do such a thing.] [Our Mengmeng is an idol who only cares about her performance and the stage. Shes different from those who dont follow rules and hide phones.] [Does Lin Shanchu not think before speaking? She just spouts nonsense.] The rest of theizens who were watching the show gave their input. [So we guessed right?] [My favorite segment is here again.] [Amazing program, I love it.] Lin Shanchu stared at Xia Jinmeng for two seconds, before a look of satisfaction shed across her eyes. Xia Jinmeng was exactly like Tang Qidai. Whether she was right or wrong, she would deny it shamelessly with no feelings of remorse and turn the tables back to Lin Shanchu. use you? Lin Shanchus smile widened, What could I gain out of that? That one simple phrase was enough to put Xia Jinmeng in utter disdain. In terms of family background, looks, and poprity, there was nothing Xia Jinmeng had that couldpete with Lin Shanchu in any way. Lin Shanchu had no reason to use Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng was furious, but she had nothing to refute so she could only stand there and be speechless. Xia Jinmengs fans were also as furious. [Whats with Lin Shanchus attitude?!] [Mengmeng is so wronged. Why is Lin Shanchu treating her like this?!] The rest of the audience wasmenting: [Sister is so arrogant. I love her.] [Does Xia Jinmeng think that no one knows that she bullied the other members when she was overseas?] [Im dying ofughter. Lin Shanchu is simply a loser in the entertainment industry.] [I feel like Lin Shanchu is a little crazy, but I dont hate her. Its strange.] [Could this be what they call the legendary audience appeal?] Lin Shanchu pushed Xia Jinmeng aside and left the live broadcast room. Naturally, Xia Jinmeng couldnt stay in the live broadcast room any longer, so she chased after Lin Shanchu. With both parties gone, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room calmed down a lot. The production crew also arranged for the other trainees to interact with the fans in thements. They skipped over thements that were still discussing the incident between Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng and selected some of the other interestingments to let the trainees interact ordingly. The live broadcast continued. After leaving the live broadcast room, Lin Shanchu went straight back to her dormitory to change her clothes. When she came out of the bathroom after changing, she saw Xia Jinmeng standing guard at the door. Is this how you help me? Lin Shanchu actually embarrassed her in front of everyone in the live broadcast room! If this matter were to spread, Lu Shiyuan would definitely not have a good impression of her. Lin Shanchu chuckled. Then, she said in an especially serious tone, Why dont I set up a memorial tablet in your honor? Chapter 165 - 165: No One Got Hurt Chapter 165: No One Got Hurt Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Xia Jinmeng didnt understand what Lin Shanchu meant and replied, But Im not your ancestor. The smile on Lin Shanchus face instantly disappeared. Her expression turned cold and her voice chilled to the bone. The room, which was already adequately air-conditioned, became even colder. Unconsciously, Xia Jinmeng touched her arm, feeling goosebumps appear on it. An-Anyway, no matter what, were both in the same boat now. You should be considerate of my feelings Xia Jinmeng initially spoke confidently. But as she made eye contact with Lin Shanchu, her confidence gradually faded and her voice weakened. Only true saints would be able topromise and sacrifice themselves without demanding anything and return. Lin Shanchu stared directly into Xia Jinmengs eyes as she spoke and took a step closer. With only a foots worth of space between the two of them, Xia Jinmeng could only step back. She began to regret reporting Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was acting crazy and she might actually be mentally unstable. Crazy people could do anything. And they dont have to face legal consequences. Xia Jinmeng grew increasingly anxious as she thought about it. She kept retreating until she was forced into a corner. Only then did Lin Shanchu stop? She continued, But I am not a saint. I am not patient and I have a bad temper, so Lin Shanchu paused briefly to admire Xia Jinmengs expression. Xia Jinmeng could barely maintain herposure. Her lips were tightly pursed as her eyes widened in panic. In this world, some people could bully the kind but fear the wicked. Lin Shanchu smirked, leaned close to Xia Jinmengs ear, andpleted her sentence in a whisper, Dont mess with me. Xia Jinmeng could feel a familiar chill creeping all over her body. Xia Jinmeng? Yun Wu pushed the door open and entered. When she saw Xia Jinmeng in the dormitory, her face darkened. What are you doing? Yun Wu quickly walked over and positioned herself in front of Lin Shanchu, staring at Xia Jinmeng with a guarded expression. She was looking at her as if she was a viin with a record of evil schemes. What can I do to her? Xia Jinmengughed sarcastically, What would I dare to do to her? Lin Shanchu was clearly the one threatening her! Yun Wu still looked skeptical, as if she didnt believe Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng was a little angry, but she did not dare to say anything to Lin Shanchu. She looked at Yun Wu angrily, Werent you two the ones who were scheming against me in the live broadcast room just now? Im the victim here! Yun Wu raised her eyebrows and spat back, The one who flirts first is the skank. Xia Jinmeng was at a loss for words. She couldnt understand why someone would protect a lunatic like Lin Shanchu. But, again, she couldnt do anything about these two, so she just left in frustration. Once Xia Jinmeng was gone, Yun Wu asked Lin Shanchu with a concerned look, Was she bullying you? Lin Shanchu thought for a moment. She was the one bullying Xia Jinmeng. But she was not about to admit that. So, she just said, Im not afraid of her. Lin Shanchus reply was vague, but from Yun Wus point of view, it sounds as if Xia Jinmeng bullied her. If she causes any more trouble, shell suffer a great loss sooner orter, Yun Wu said thoughtfully. After this live broadcast event, the production crew bought a slot on the list of trending topics for the uing interactive segment between the contestants and fans. Such segments that showcased the contestants personalities were likely to attract more fans. As for Lin Shanchu, her rabbit dance segment didnt even need the production crews help to get a spot on the ranking list. Her poprity was the one that pushed her segment to the top. Following closely behind was #LinShanchuWas ReportedFor NotLendingXiaJinmengHerPhone. However, this was not the work of Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmengs fans. It was the gossip-lovingizens who helped to push it to the top. The director smiled as he brought this data to Nan Mu to ask for credit. President Nan, look, isnt the poprity skyrocketing? President Nan nodded casually, then said very seriously, Frequent appearance of artists in trending searches can cause people to resent them. Lets suppress the trending topics a bit, shall we? Whose topic are you thinking of suppressing? Lin Shanchu. What? The director looked at Nan Mu with an expression that said Are you crazy? and asked, Why do you want to suppress someone who has solely earned their way up the search bar from just using their abilities? Im doing this for Lin Shanchus good. Im prepared to support her Even without appearing on the trending searches in the past, she still had a lot of haters doesnt she? Nan Mu fell silent. The director continued, People who hate her wont suddenly like her just because she stops being trending Song Yiming suddenly came to a realization, President Nan, you You want to suppress the trending search because of something else, right? Is it because of pressure from Lu Shiyuan? he asked tentatively. Men were possessive of their women to some extent. Lin Shanchus bunny girl costume was popr even among young girls, let alone the Inte Just from him? Nan Mu snorted and gave Song Yiming a self-exnatory look. Song Yiming wanted to say something more, but Nan Mu quickly chased him away. Go and get busy. The guests will be arriving in a few days and by that time, we will have to start up the show again. The finals are just around the corner. Keep up the good work Nan hurriedly shooed Song Yiming out. After closing the door, he paced back and forth in the room. Should I make a call to find out? With that thought, Nan Mu took out his phone and called Huo Xunzhou. It took a while before someone finally answered the call. Big Brother is busy. It was Li MO who answered. Seeing Nan Mus name on the screen, he didnt even bother with the formalities. Nan made a sound and said nonchntly, Still busy? What is it? Li MO thought Nan Mu had something urgent to discuss with Huo Xunzhou. Nan Muughed dryly and pretended to sound rxed, Its nothing. Its just that we havent been in touch for a few days, so I thought Id call and see how things are going with Xunzhou. Is everything going smoothly there? Li MO vaguely felt that Nan was acting strangely, but he wasnt one to think too much. They both held different opinions regarding Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus marriage, but Nan Mu was genuinely concerned for Huo Xunzhou. Li Mot s tone softened a bit, When Big Brother is done with his busy schedule, Ill have him call you. No need, let him be busy. After hes done, tell him to rest well and not stay upte ying with his phone Nan Mu instructed Li MO seriously. Alright. Li MO was a little touched. Nan Mu was so concerned about his big brother. Hanging up the phone, Nan Mu heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that Huo Xunzhou was busy. When hes busy, he didnt have time to go online. If he wasnt online, he wouldnt have seen the video of Lin Shanchu doing the rabbit dance. The entertainment industry was never short on news reports. At most, Lin Shanchus trending searches would bepletely drowned out by other uing news within three days. As long as Huo Xunzhou didnt find out about this for the time being, Nan Mu could rest assured. The program had gained a momentary surge in poprity and no one got hurt. Nan Mu couldnt help but feel happy when he thought of this. Huo Xunzhou came out of the room and Li MO handed him his phone. Someones called me? Huo Xunzhou asked as he received it. He had heard Li MO talking on the phone inside just now. Nan Mu called, Li MO replied. Whats the matter? Huo Xunzhou knew that Nan Mu wouldnt call him unless something happened. Its nothing. He just called to ask about your situation and show concern about you.. Chapter 166 - 166: If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Them Chapter 166: If You Cant Beat Them, Join Them Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrows and repeated in a deep voice, Its nothing? Yeah, Li MO nodded, He also said that you should focus on being busy and dont have to call him back. What else did he say? Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes. He told you to rest well and take care of yourself, Li MO roughly conveyed Nan Mus words to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou nced at the call history. When he saw that the call between Nan Mu and Li Mo was only two minutes ago, he furrowed his brows. Whats wrong, Big Brother? He didnt call because he was concerned about me, it was because he felt guilty. Huo Xunzhou slipped his phone into his pocket and headed downstairs. Li MO was trailing behind as he rambled on in his thoughts. Why would he feel guilty? Did he do something to betray you? But with that brain of his, what could he possibly scheme behind your back? Li MO and Nan Mu had never acknowledged each others strengths and always felt that the other was inferior to them. Huo Xunzhou remained silent all the way. When they reached the car, he took out his phone and went online. He opened the entertainment rankings. #LinShanchusRabbitDance was at the top of the list. A few rows below, there was another topic. #MyBunnyWife In the evening, Nan Mu attended a dinner party. He was in a good mood and drank quite a bit. So when he returned home, he fell asleep immediately. Just as he was sleeping soundly, his phone rang. As someone in the entertainment industry, he had to be prepared to deal with unexpected events at any time. Therefore, his ringtone was always on and the volume was sted to the max. Nan Mu, who was still half asleep, was startled by the ringtone. He flipped over and jumped up. Feeling lightheaded and blurred, he answered the call without noticing who it was. What happened? He instinctively thought it was an urgent call from one of thepanys employees, regarding some unexpected event. There was silence on the other end of the line. Nan Mu grabbed his hair and thought Could this be some idiot who was jealous of his show and was about to go off? He deliberately called me in the middle of the night as a prank, right? The trending search list has been quite lively today. An extremely familiar cold voice came from the phone. Nan Mu was so scared that his hair stood on end. He instantly became fully awake and his mouth was in a knot, XunXunzhou, youre still awake? Im staying upte to y with my phone. Huo Xunzhous tone was very serious and unusually calm. Nan Mu looked at the time. It was three oclock in the morning. He also found Huo Xunzhous words to be very familiar. He realized he made a grave mistake. He shouldnt have let his guard down and said so much nonsense when he called Huo Xunzhou during the day just because it was Li MO who answered the call. Otherwiself hed done that, Huo Xunzhou wouldnt have been so suspicious. But now, Huo Xunzhou had found out. Xunzhou, about this I can exin. Beep C The phone rang out a familiar hang-up dial tone. Knowing Huo Xunzhou, what this meant was No need to exin. When I get back, you will die. Now, Nan Mu could only hope that Huo Xunzhoues backter. As soon as Huo Xunzhou hung up, Nan Mu received another call. After listening to the person on the other end, his voice turned cold, If shes missing, then go look for her! After the end of the live stream, everyone went into an intense training period. No one was in the mood to bring up the incident between Lin Shanchu and Xia Jinmeng. Lin Shanchu knew that if everything went smoothly, she would be eliminated after the third round of performances ended. The third performance was meaningless to her, but to her teammates, it was important. So, Lin Shanchu still cooperated with them. However, there would be some side effects from practicing rap too much. Like for example, Lin Shanchu would randomly be reciting the lyrics unconsciously under her breath. Even when they were eating. One second, Lin Shanchu was chatting with Yun Wu, and the next, she would begin whispering the lyrics with a mouth full of rice. The more she recited, the more she got into it. Yun Wu finally recognized the lyrics after listening to her for a while. Sheughed so hard that the drumstick she had just picked up fell back on the te. Once Lin Shanchupleted the song, she continued eating as if nothing had happened. Seeing this, Yun Wuughed out loud. Lin Shanchu was confused. Suppressing herughter, Yun Wu said, Your training seems to be paying off. Lin Shanchu finally realized what she had been doing. She sighed. Fortunately, there was only a week left until the performance. Yun Wu noticed that Lln Shanchu was frowning and tried to change the topic. I heard that the guest performers invited by the production crew will arrive tomorrow. I wonder who they were. Well find out when they arrive. If only Lin Shanchu hadnt had her phone confiscated, she could have checked the news online. But at the same time, whenever she thought of her cell phone, she would think of Xia Jinmeng. She was still a little angry about it. Lin Shanchu looked around and finallynded her gaze on the table next door. Xia Jinmeng was whispering to another contestant. I dont particrly like any male celebrities. Its all up to the production crews arrangements. They were also talking about the male guest performers. However, after Xia Jinmeng finished speaking, the girl she was talking to seemed somewhat embarrassed. The two tables were very close to each other so Yun Wu also heard what Xia Jinmeng said. She extended her arm in front of Lin Shanchu and said, Shanshan, look at the goosebumps on my hands. Lin Shanchu a nce and indeed saw goosebumps. When Xia Jinmeng speaks Yun Wu thought for a long while but still struggled to find the right words. So she simply said, You get it right? Lin Shanchu nodded calmly and replied, I get it. Xia Jinmeng must have taken what Lin Shanchu said in the dormitory seriously that day. She hadnt beening over to provoke her for the past few days. Moreover, Xia Jinmeng had also begun to imitate Lin Shanchus way of speaking. However, the people who had been around Xia Jinmeng for the past two months knew that she was not the type to have a gentle personality. It was difficult for them to adapt to the new environment. Lin Shanchu had unintentionally overheard several conversations among the contestants about this matter. Everyone had their own opinion so there were many different theories on it. Some people said that it was because Xia Jinmeng dreamed of being number one so much, she constantly fought for it. But the pressure was too much for her which exined her sudden personality change. Some also said that Xia Jinmeng was pretending to act gentle because male guest performers wereing. But, there was one theory that Lin Shanchu found most interesting: Xia Jinmeng couldnt beat Lin Shanchu, so she decided to be her. This theory was the closest to the truth. But at the same time, it was also theplete opposite of the truth. Yun Wu nced at Xia Jinmeng again and whispered to Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, why do I feel like Xia Jinmeng is imitating you? She cant be up to something again, could she? Lin Shanchu twirled the spoon in her hand and slowly said, What if she just thinks Im charming and she wants to change herself from the bottom of her heart? Yun Wu stared at her with a strange expression. Lin Shanchu just smiled and started drinking her soup with the spoon. Xia Jinmeng looked over from the next table. When she saw Lin Shanchu drinking the soup, she picked up her bowl as well. The canteen served two kinds of soup today. Shrimp soup and seaweed soup. Xia Jinmeng chose the same soup as Lin Shanchu, shrimp soup. Not only that. The dishes Xia Jinmeng chose were also the same as Lin Shanchus.. Chapter 167 - 167: A Female Idol Having Sex with A Male Staff Member Chapter 167: A Female Idol Having Sex with A Male Staff Member Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Previously when they were lining up for food, Lin Shanchu noticed that Xia Jinmeng purposely queued behind her. There was only one person between the two of them. Therefore, Xia Jinmeng could clearly see what dishes Lin Shanchu chose. Xia Jinmeng had been doing this kind of thing more than once recently. Lin Shanchu was very satisfied with Xia Jinmengs diligence and hardworking attitude. This was also Xia Jinmengs greatest strength. Among the dancers, Xia Jinmengs physical condition wascking. Arge part of why she stood out among the idols was because of her hard work. Unfortunately, a lot of people were the type to be unwilling to take the necessary steps forward, little by little. Xia Jinmeng was one of them. Tang Qidai was also no exception. However, they were fundamentally different from each other. At least Xia Jinmeng knew that killing small animals was wrong. Lin Shanchus scrutinizing gaze made Xia Jinmeng feel inexplicably uneasy. She didnt know if it was because of its psychological effect, but she just felt that Lin Shanchus gaze was terrifying. Xia Jinmeng quickly slurped down her soup and left with her tray. She couldnt afford to offend that crazy woman another time before she sessfully took Tang Qidais position. Xia Jinmeng left the cafeteria alone. Before she could walk far, a staff member approached her. Xia Jinmeng, the director is looking for you. The male staff member had a familiar low voice. Xia Jinmeng turned around abruptly and said, Jiang Ziyu? Jiang Ziyus had a faint smile on his kind, honest face, Dont make the director wait. What does the director want with me? Xia Jinmeng became wary of him. The person in charge of this talent show was very cautious. Apart from matters rting to the official recordings, male staff members werent allowed to enter the trainees living area alone. If the production crew had any matters they wished to inform the contestants about, they would also arrange for designated staff members tomunicate with them. More importantly, Jiang Ziyu was Tang Qidaisckey so his intentions couldnt be trusted. Jiang Ziyu replied, Youll know when you go. Xia Jinmeng followed him skeptically. When they arrived at the directors office door, Jiang Ziyu thoughtfully opened it for Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng peered in and said, Directorah! Jiang Ziyu suddenly pushed her inside from behind. He closed the door behind him, using his body to block the door handle. Xia Jinmeng realized she had been tricked by Jiang Ziyu and was furious, Didnt you say the director was looking for me?! Jiang Ziyu slowly grinned, The director has gone to a meeting. Move aside. Xia Jinmenq could alreadv ????? the reason whv Jianq Zivu had tricked her intoing here. Jiang Ziyu was their kindergarten ssmate. They had known each other for so many years, but Tang Qidai had always been the only person in his eyes. Jiang Ziyu would do anything for Tang Qidai. This time, Jiang Ziyu had taken the initiative to look for Xia Jinmeng, which meant that Tang Qidai must havee up with a new n to deal with Lin Shanchu. However, her stance had changed. Lin Shanchu was no longer her enemy, Tang Qidai was. She would never help Tang Qidai. Jiang Ziyu still wouldnt budge from the door as he said, Daidai hopes that you can help her onest time. It was indeed Tang Qidai again! I just want to focus on thepetition right now, nothing else. Daidai said that she would be very grateful to you. If you dont let me out, Ill call for help! Seeing Xia Jinmengs unyielding attitude and unwillingness to cooperate, the smile on Jiang Ziyus face gradually disappeared. What are you calling for? To let them see a female idol having sex with a male staff member? Xia Jinmengs expression changed drastically, and she staggered backward. Jiang Ziyu, weve known each other for so many years. Have I ever done anything to hurt you? No, you havent. Then why are you doing this to me? As long as youre willing to help Daidai, we can still be friends. Xia Jinmeng moved her lips, but nothing came out of her mouth. Friends? What a joke! Jiang Ziyu had threatened to ruin her just to help Tang Qidai. And Tang Qidai would onlye over and bark orders at her when she needed her help. What kind of friends are they? Jiang Ziyu, wake up! Even if you dig your heart out and give it to Tang Qidai, you would still just be an obedient dog in her eyes. She wont like you at all! Jiang Ziyus expression turned gloomy, It doesnt matter. As long as shes happy. Lunatic! She was surrounded by lunatics. Lin Shanchu included. Jiang Ziyu was not about to give up. Xia Jinmeng knew that if she didnt agree to Jiang Ziyus request today, she would never leave this ce. What does Tang Qidai want me to do? After the recording tomorrow, bring Lin Shanchu to the directors office. What for? You dont have to worry about the rest. Xia Jinmeng only wanted to get out of the room as soon as possible, so she didnt ask any more questions, Alright. Mengmeng, I believe that you will do what you say. Jiang Ziyu revealed an honest smile. Xia Jinmeng pushed Jiang Ziyu away with a cold face, opened the door, and quickly left. The moment she was out of the office, she sped away. She wished she could grow wings and just fly away immediately. When Tang Qidai approached her before to ask to join forces against Lin Shanchu, she would have at least said a few words in irony just to win her over. But this time, Tang Qidai actually had Jiang Ziyu threaten her. She was determined to achieve her goal at all costs. It seemed that Tang Qidai had been driven to a corner and was ready to go after Lin Shanchu. As for Jiang Ziyu, what he nned to do after bringing Lin Shanchu to the directors office wasnt a hard guess. Tang Qidai had been vicious since she was a child, so she would naturally use the worst methods to deal with Lin Shanchu. If Xia Jinmeng didnt help Lin Shanchu, Jiang Ziyu would definitelye after her. There was no point in hiding. That lunatic Jiang Ziyu would always find a way. But dealing with Lin Shanchu wasnt so easy either Xia Jinmeng only felt a sense of relief after she arrived at the crowded training area. They couldnt start training immediately after eating, so the trainees were all resting in the public area. As usual, Lin Shanchu stood out among the crowd. Xia Jinmeng spotted her at a nce. Although she also sat cross-legged on the ground and wore the same uniform as the other trainees, she had a more refined temperament than the others. Once all their phones got taken away, everyone went back to more traditional forms of entertainment. Someone had brought marbles. They didnt know who, but regardless, everyone was having a great time ying with them. Someone tugged at Lin Shanchu, who was watching from the sidelines, and said, Sister,e and give it a try. Caught up in the atmosphere, Lin Shanchu held an eager expression, Im not familiar with it though. They asked Lin Shanchu, You didnt y this when you were a child? Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before saying, No, I never yed. It was a little unfortunate. During most of her childhood, Lu Shiyuan was there. And Lu Shiyuan wouldnt y with these things at all. Others also realized this and just gave her a warm smile. Its quite simple, Yun Wu picked up a marble and flicked it urately onto another. Then, she took the one that was hit and handed it to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was a little surprised that Yun Wu, the little princess of a rich family, yed these kinds of mini-games before. Was she the only one who had such a boring childhood? Yun Wu saw her confusion and exined, I yed all kinds of games when I was young. She had such a fulfilling childhood.. Chapter 168 - 168: Except Lin Shanchu Chapter 168: Except Lin Shanchu Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu held the marble and gave it a flick. She managed to hit the target on the first try. Her sisters were all very supportive. Wow, you hit it! Sister, youre amazing. Do another one. Her sisters were all charming sweet talkers. It was hard for Lin Shanchu not to feel flustered. As Xia Jinmeng watched from afar, jealousy painted across her eyes. Ever since the beginning, she had always been the most beloved contestant among the trainees in this program. As if stealing first ce wasnt enough, Lin Shanchu even went and stole the attention of the other trainees away from her. Xia Jinmeng finally understood why Tang Qidai was so eager to get rid of Lin Shanchu. This crazy woman had such a strong influence. When she first joined the program, everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself. In the end, Lin Shanchu seemed to have turned on a cheat. Tang Qidai was wary of Lin Shanchu for a reason. There must be a reason why Lu Shiyuan didnt want Lin Shanchu to call off the engagement. Even though Xia Jinmeng did not even touch the corner of Lu Shiyuans shirt, she already felt a sense of danger. Xia Jinmeng even had an inexplicable intuition. As long as Lin Shanchu was willing, she could snatch Lu Shiyuan back at any time. Perhaps Lin Shanchu was a stronger opponent than Tang Qidai. Once the trainees were well rested, they started returning to the training room one by one. Lin Shanchu also nned to return to the training room. Just as she was about to get up and leave, she noticed a shadow hovering over her. She looked up to see Wen Tongtong standing there. Whats the matter? Lin Shanchu asked as she stood up. Xia Jinmeng had been standing there and staring at you the whole time just now. Wen Tongtongs gaze was fixed on the spot behind Lin Shanchu where Xia Jinmeng used to be. Xia Jinmeng had already left. There was no one there. Lin Shanchu smiled and said, I know. Before Wen Tongtong could even move her lips to say something else, she was interrupted by Lin Shanchu. Im going back to the training room now. Goodbye. Wen Tongtong was worried. She understood what kind of character Xia Jinmeng had. Judging from Xia Jinmengs expression just now, she must be plotting something on Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu should beware of Xia Jinmeng, right? Since tomorrow was recording day, everyone went to bed early that night. They all woke up early the next morning too. As soon as Lin Shanchu walked out of the dormitory, she bumped into Xia Jinmeng in the corridor. Good morning! Lin Shanchu greeted her with a smile. Xia Jinmeng fell silent for a moment before replying dryly, Morning. Once Xia Jinmeng finished speaking, she walked past Lin Shanchu without even looking at her. Wait a minute. Lin Shanchus voice rang out from behind her. Xia Jinmeng stopped in her tracks out of reflex. Lin Shanchu slowly walked up to Xia Jinmeng and reached toward her neck. Xia Jinmeng stepped back in fear. But Lin Shanchus movements were faster and she had already grabbed Xia Jinmeng by the cor. Just as Xia Jinmengs heart was beginning to burn with anger, Lin Shanchu spoke at the right time, Your cor is wrinkled. She gently helped Xia Jinmeng adjust her cor, her soft tone was not threatening at all. Xia Jinmeng had been paying close attention to Lin Shanchu during this period to imitate her. Lin Shanchu only looked gentle on the outside, but she was quite cold when she interacted with the trainees. The only person she appeared morefortable with was Yun Wu. Now she was suddenly going around helping people adjust their cors? Lin Shanchu was acting so strangely Could it be that she found out about something? Xia Jinmeng felt a little guilty and evaded Lin Shanchus gaze. She pushed her away and said, Ill do it myself. Lin Shanchu retreated obediently as she observed Xia Jinmengs expression. This young sprout was up to no good again. Lin Shanchu had invested so much effort into this sprout. As long as she did not go too far, she would continue to nourish her with patience. But if she went too far Well, then things would be uncertain. After all, not every sprout could grow into a big tree. Shanshan. Yun Wu came out of the dormitory as well. Xia Jinmeng took this opportunity to turn around and leave. When Jiang Ziyu handled his matters, he was always very cautious. When he tricked Xia Jinmeng into going to the directors office yesterday, no one even noticed she was gone. If Lin Shanchu knew something was up, she would have taken action yesterday. Thinking of this, Xia Jinmeng rxed. Lin Shanchu met Ji Yuan in the cafeteria. They were going to record today, so he came early and took the opportunity to have a meal with the girls. Ji Yuan grabbed a tray and sat down in front of Lin Shanchu, asking, Sister Lin, guess who the guest joining your group is? It cant be you, right? Ran Zhimo asked. Ji Yuan smiled and didnt answer. Lin Shanchu nced at Ji Yuan and said, It definitely wont be you. Why cant it be me? If the answer was so obvious, you wouldnt have asked, Lin Shanchu replied. Ji Yuan was speechless. The other teammates curiously approached them, Teacher Ji, who is the guest partner for our group? I heard they have strong abilities, but I dont know exactly who he is. I havent gotten the name list vet. Ji Yuan turned to Lin Shanchu and said regretfully, Sister Lin, I wanted to coborate with you, but President Nan wont give me a chance. Why? Lin Shanchu asked. I asked him and he said I will do it next time. Ji Yuan sighed. Nan Mu was a senior manager turned boss, so of course, he had his considerations in every decision. As a rising star in Tianzhou Media, Ji Yuan coborating with Lin Shanchus group would be a win-win situation. But despite Ji Yuan taking the initiative to ask, the idea was still rejected. This meant that the guest partner for Lin Shanchus group was truly influential. At least, much more than Ji Yuan. The live broadcast began at 9 am sharp. Please have all team members return to the training room and wait for their guest of honor. Lin Shanchu was lined at the back of the group. Suddenly, her teammate at the front screamed in surprise upon entering the room. Wow! Whats wrong? Theres cake and flowers! Can we eat the cake? The flowers are so beautiful! Are they for us? Four bouquets were ced beside four servings of cake. They were delicate, beautiful and emitted a fragrant aroma. No girl wouldnt like them. Although the guest was nowhere to be seen, the teammates already had a good impression of him. Ran Zhimo found a small card with her name on it in the bouquet, Theres a card included. Three other team members also found the cards with their names on them. However, there was no card in thest remaining bouquet. Everyone looked at Lin Shanchu in confusion. The guest had written cards for all of them except Lin Shanchu. Did he forget to write yours? Ran Zhimo asked. No, Lin Shanchu calmly picked up the remaining bouquet, He deliberately didnt write one for me. What do you mean? Everyone was puzzled. The person who prepared the flowers and cakes for us is very meticulous. He wouldnt make such a mistake. Not only was it not a mistake, it might even be something that caught her attention. At this moment, a teammate was surprised to find that everyones flowers and cakes were of different colors. They are each of our respective support colors.. Chapter 169 - 169: Male Artists with the Surname Huo Chapter 169: Male Artists with the Surname Huo Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Just as everyone was discussing the guests attentiveness, a cheerful male voice came from the entrance. I didnt expect everyone to discover my clever little trick so quickly. The mans voice was clear and crisp. His melodious, refreshing tone was like spring water that cleansed ones soul. Everyone turned around. In the instant when everyone recognized the male guest, the entire training room fell into a deathly silence. But soon after, the room was filled with screams of surprise even more exhrating than when they saw the flowers and cakes. Oh my God, its Alec!!! Pinch me!! Am I dreaming? President Nan is amazing! He actually invited Alec! The other teammates were all excited. Lin Shanchu was the only one who looked at Alec calmly. SOF was the top boy band for the past decade. They were popr for many years. Tvvo of the members were locals. Sang Min and Alec. Alec had outstanding features. He had a strong physique, broad shoulders, long legs, and a posture that showed traces of years of training. He appeared slim but had strength. Alec walked over to Lin Shanchu. Throughout the entire process, his gaze was fixed on Lin Shanchu with an indescribable sense of scrutiny. Lin Shan Chu He called out her name word for word as the smile on his face deepened. He addressed Lin Shanchu directly by her name, without any self-introduction or greetings. As two parties that were meeting for the first time, such behavior was considered impolite. However, the way Alec behaved wasnt like he was meeting Lin Shanchu for the first time. Instead, it felt like a long-lost greeting between old friends. His rudeness and impoliteness had been brushed off. The live broadcast had just begun, so there werent many viewers at first. But once Alec appeared, the live chat burst into an uproar: [Its Alec!] [Is it really Alec?!] [Oh my god! Is this Alecs first appearance in the country after SOF disbanded?] [So many shows had been begging Alec to make an appearance, but now hes here as a guest!] [My Stage is winning big time!] Her teammates looked puzzled and whispered to each other. Do Alec and Lin Shanchu know each other? I dont think so. Alec isnt from Xu City. These two shouldnt have interacted before Lin Shanchu looked at Alec and said calmly, Hello, There was a clear sense of distance in her tone. I indeed intentionally didnt write a card for you Alec paused and observed Lin Shanchus expression before continuing with a faint smile, Because I wanted to get to know you in person. Comment gectinn ? [F * ck! F * ck! What does Alec mean?!] [Why was this statement so ambiguous?] [You guys are overthinking it. Alec has always been like this, a great guy and very gentle.] The original book did not mention anything about Alec. Lin Shanchu knew nothing about Alec. But Alecs actions after entering the training room conveyed one message- Im paying attention to you, Lin Shanchu. They had never interacted before, so why was he interested in her? Hello, Alec reached out to her with a friendly smile. Lin Shanchu reached out to shake his hand and reintroduced herself. My name is Lin Shanchu. After saying that, she quickly wanted to retract her hand. She tried to pull it out of his grasp but found that she couldnt. Lin Shanchu frowned slightly. A trace of anger appeared in her clear eyes. However, Alec seemedpletely unaware of her displeasure. He still had a faint smile on when he said, You still dont know my Chinese name. The other teammates shouted from the background, We know Alecs Chinese name. Alecs Chinese name is Huo Chaosheng. Alec seemed to be unhappy that Lin Shanchus teammates had revealed his Chinese name in advance. Yes, my name is Huo Chaosheng. Alec let go of her hand as the smile on his face disappeared. When he wasnt smiling, his deep eyes made him look a little gloomy. Alecs surname was Huo? Was he rted to Huo Xunzhou? Did Alecs abnormal behavior have something to her acquaintance with Huo Xunzhou? However, the outside world is unaware of her close contact with Huo Xunzhou in private. As if finding Lin Shanchus contemtive look amusing, Huo Chaoseng asked with interest, Does my name sound nice? Lin Shanchu curved her lips and replied, Male artists with the surname Huo all have nice names. Really? Huo Chaosheng narrowed his eyes. Comment section: [Male artists with the surname Huo? Is she referring to Huo Xunzhou?] [She seemed like she wasplimenting Alec on the surface, but was she actuallyplimenting Huo Xunzhou?] [Best Actor Huo won this round.] [Sister Rabbit was indeed a person who had seen everything. She doesnt blush at all even when she was standing right in front of Alec.] [If you had a fianc like Lu Shiyuan and a brother like Huo Xunzhou, you would probably be like her too] Alecs fans were unhappy: [Theres no need to praise one and criticize the other. Just praise Huo Xunzhou if you want to. Why drag our Alec into it?] Netizens retorted, [Why are Alecs fans so sensitive? The truth is right in front of us and yet we arent allowed to say anything about it.] Fans of the show came out to stop the fight. [Whats the point of arguing? Just enjoy the show. If you miss even one episode, youll miss out on everything.] Alecs fans finally stopped. Lin Shanchus fans arrived in the chat. [Im just here to see Sister Rabbits training results.] [To be honest, folks, Im a little scared to watch.] [Ill go and mentally prepare myself first, then Ille backter.] Theizens found it amusing. [Are you sure youre not Lin Shanchus haters? You dont even dare to watch the song you guys chose for her?] [What does Sister Rabbit mean?] Informedizens helped to exin: [Lin Shanchu did a rabbit dance live stream a few days ago.] [Lin Shanchus bunny girl outfit is simply amazing.] [Her fans now call her Sister Rabbit and even refer to themselves as the nesting grass beside her.] [Pfft- Is that the best name her fans coulde up with?] [They even dared to choose a song like Ind in the Sky, so its not hard to understand why they chose a fanbase name like nesting grass.] [Her fans are like a flock of sheep] Every training room had its own live broadcast. Among them, Lin Shanchus group had the most spectators. More than half of the audience was there for Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaoshengs karmic power was extraordinary. However, due to therge talent gap, their progress slowed down. Comment section: [One King carrying one Diamond, three Gold, and one Bronze] [Is the bronze referring to Lin Shanchu?] [Dont say that. Lin Shanchu is still quite impressive even if she doesnt know how to do it.] [Lin Shanchu would be like: Thank you for speaking up for me.] [You guys havepletely overshadowed the talents with yourments. Hahahaha!] I heard you guys had already prepared the lyrics. Lets go through them first, Huo Chaosheng said as he sat cross-legged on the ground with a song lyrics book in his hand. Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment. Huo Chaosheng had his gaze down on the lyrics. Without looking up, he directly assigned a role, Lets start with Lin Shanchu.. Chapter 170 - 170: Old Acquaintance Chapter 170: Old Acquaintance Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu nced at Huo Chaosheng. Oh. Huo Chaosheng was aware that the atmosphere in the training room became somewhat strange after he called out Lin Shanchu. Once he looked up, Lin Shanchu and her teammates all looked down to study their lyrics. Huo Chaosheng frowned slightly and said, Go on, begin. Comment section: [Does Alec know that he picked a Bronze?] [Based on his expression, I dont think he knows.] [What if Lin Shanchu has been training hard recently and has made great progress in her rapping?] [Her performance is starting!] Recently, everyone had been constantly working on their lyrics. Lin Shanchu had just finalized her lyricsst night and hadnt had the time to memorize them yet. So, she just recited the rap ording to the lyrics. Huo Chaoshengs exceptional qualities as a male idol had always allowed him to maintain a perfect expression. However, at this moment, there was a visible crack in his facade. Comment section: [Alecs expression is so funny.] [Alec is like: I cant take it anymore.] [Alec must be thinking: What the hell is she rapping about?] After Lin Shanchupleted her recital, she put down her lyric book and looked at Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng calmed down and asked Lin Shanchu in a confused tone, Do you know how to rap? No. Lin Shanchu replied with a straight face. Huo Chaosheng was so shocked, he choked on his words, Then why did you choose this song? Fans voted for it. You have that many haters? Dont spout nonsense. They all love me very much. They spent a lot of money to vote for me. Although Lin Shanchu herself was doubting whether or not her fans were full of haters, she still had to defend them in front of others. A look of disbelief appeared on Huo Chaosengs face. He took a deep breath, scanned through the others, and pointed at Ran Zhimo who seemed more of a rapper. You go. Ran Zhimo was a professional. With Lin Shanchu as aparison, Huo Chaosheng cant help butpliment, Not bad. Although the other three students did not receive any praise from Huo Chaosheng, they felt relieved and calmly went through the entire session. During the break, the other teammates rested while Lin Shanchu was left behind for Huo Chaosheng to have a one- on-one session with her. Control your breath, grasp the rhythm, and follow me. Huo Chaosheng was very serious when he was teaching. He gave off the impression that he was a very normal, outstanding male celebrity. Compared to the first time they met, he seemed like apletely different person now. This made Lin Shanchu feel a strong sense of detachment. But of course, Lin Shanchu was still keen on learning from him diligently. After all, she values respect between people. After running through it a few times, Huo Chaosheng ced the lyric book aside. What has your mentor said so far? My mentor didnt say anything. Huo Chaosheng was speechless. Comment section: [Lin Shanchus mentor for this round was Bai Yu, right?] [Director! I want to see the look on Bai Yus face when Lin Shanchu made him speechless.] [Alec probably wants to talk to Bai Yu right now.] Huo Chaosheng took a deep breath as he crossed his arms, Lin Shanchu, Ive seen your performances on stage. Although youre not a professional, you were wless. So, why cant you rap? Not everyone is an outstanding, all-rounded artist like you. Everyone knew that all the members of SOF were all-rounded talents. Huo Chaoshengughed, Then what do you n to do after debuting as a group? Perhaps I wont be able to form a team. Huo Chaosheng had nothing else to say. This woman appeared soft and weak, but when she spoke, she was as steady and as unwavering as a donkey. That left him speechless. He couldnt even win an argument against a woman? Im tired. Ill go and rest for a while, Huo Chaosheng stood up and left. Thank you. I appreciate your effort. Lin Shanchus gentle voice sounded from behind. Huo Chaosheng turned around and nced at her. The woman had a smile on her lips, appearing gentle and harmless. Huo Chaosheng sucked his teeth and said, Its not that hard. I just need a while before we continue. Comment section: [Alec seems to have broken through his defense.] [Do you think Alec wille back?] [I suspect that Alec is going to look for the production crew to terminate his contract.] Once the live recording started, the contestants from the other groups found out that the partnering guest for Ind in the Sky was Alec. Whenever they were given a break, they ran straight to Lin Shanchus training room to look for Alec. I heard that the guest for your group is Alec. Where is he? Oh, how my heart aches! I remember there was a time when I had a chance to be on the same stage as Alec, but I didnt cherish it. Whats Alec like? Is he gentle? But soon, their break time was over and everyone returned to their respective training rooms. Huo Chaosheng returned at this moment, causing the trainees who came to see him to miss him by a few minutes. Lunchtime arrived quickly. Yun Wu, who usually appeared very punctually at the door of Lin Shanchus practice room during mealtimes, was not here today. Lin Shanchu nned to go to Yun Wus training room to find her. As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Yun Wu lurking by the door and peeping into the training room. Yun Wu? Yun Wu was startled to hear Lin Shanchus voice, Huh? Are you here to see Alec? Lin Shanchu asked. No, Yun Wu shook her head in denial. Then she peeped inside and asked, Is Alec gone? Yes, he left early. Lets go and eat. Lin Shanchu looked at the clock. It was already ten minutes past mealtime. This was the first time Yun Wu had taken such a long time toe ni look for her to get a meal together. Besides that, while they were eating, Yun Wu still seemed a little distracted. Even the portion of food she got was half the amount she usually got. Lin Shanchu was worried that she might not be getting enough to eat. Yun Wu suddenly turned to look at her bad said, Shanshan, I dont think you would believe me if I told you You havent even told me yet. How will you know if I wont believe you? Lin Shanchu vaguely knew what she was going to say. Alec and I are old acquaintances. Yun Wu spoke in a hushed voice as if she was guilty of it. If Lin Shanchu hadnt been focusing enough, she might be caught off guard by what Yun Wu said. But as she expected, Yun Wu had been wanting to tell her about this. She replied, I believe you. Yun Wu had been acting strangely since Sang Min was met with an ident during the farewell party. Lin Shanchu had a feeling that Yun Wu might not just be an acquaintance to Huo Chaosheng, but also to the entire SOF. Alec has a bad temper Yun Wu earnestly reminded her, and his fans can also be very aggressive. Stay away from him to avoid getting scolded by his fans. He has a bad temper? Back in the training room, Huo Chaosheng did get irritated by her rap skills , but didnt lose his temper. He also didnt look like someone who would lose his temper often. Yun Wu nodded firmly as she replied, Yes. Okay. Lin Shanchu didnt say much more and changed the topic, This is not enough, isnt it? Ill go get some more food for you. Yun Wu nodded eagerly and made a heart with her fingers, Get more prawns. On her way to the food counter, Lin Shanchu passed by Xia Jinmengs table. Xia Jinmengs te was still full and she barely touched her food. Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks and went over to ask gently, Why arent you eating? Are you too tired from training? Was that why you dont have an appetite? Chapter 171 - 171: Lin Shanchu Could Only Blame Herself for Being Stupid! Chapter 171: Lin Shanchu Could Only me Herself for Being Stupid! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Xia Jinmengs face stiffened as she said, I was just about to eat. She had been staring at Lin Shanchu the whole time, thinking of a way to trick Lin Shanchu into going to the directors officeter. How could she have the time to eat? Eat then, Lin Shanchu said while keeping her gaze on her, her voice incredibly gentle. As Xia Jinmeng lowered her head to eat, her actions revealed a hint of panic. She was so nervous. She knew something big was going to happen. But Xia Jinmeng was sealed off from the outside world in this training camp. Without a mobile phone, she couldnt possibly do much alone. That means she must have had an aplice. Of course, the answer was obvious. Xia Jinmengs aplice had to be Tang Qidai, the only person who wished nothing more than for Lin Shanchu to die. Plus, Tang Qidai had people among the production crews staff. Once Lin Shanchu was far away, Xia Jinmeng slowly raised her head. When did you and Lin Shanchu be so close? the person beside Xia Jinmeng asked. Just eat, Xia Jinmeng replied with a cold expression. She kept having a feeling that Lin Shanchu might have discovered something. But, she couldnt find any evidence of it. The auntie serving food at the counter saw Lin Shanchuing over and greeted her with a motherly smile. What would you like to eat, little girl? Auntie, can I have some more prawns? Thedy scooped a full bowl of prawns and asked, Is this enough? Thats enough. And add some vegetables. Thank you, Auntie. Lin Shanchu brought the dishes back to Yun Wu. Seeing that she did not sit down, Yun Wu asked, Youre not eating? Im going to the bathroom. Lin Shanchu was in the bathroom for quite a long time. When she returned, Yun Wu had already finished eating. The recording session ends at five oclock in the afternoon. Everyone couldnt help but feel nervous as they faced the camera. Once the recording ended, everyone stopped to rest. The trainees from other practice rooms came over to see Huo Chaosheng. After patiently taking a few photos with them, Huo Chaosheng expressed a slight regret, I still have other work to do, so Ill take my leave first. See you all tomorrow. The trainees waved at him reluctantly, See you tomorrow. Hes so handsome and gentle! So, this is what it feels like to have a dreame true. I actually managed to talk to Alec After walking some distance, Huo Chaosheng turned back to look at the girls. His gaze fell directly on Lin Shanchu, who stood out the most. Through the crowd, Huo Chaosheng shed her an ambiguous smile. Although she didnt know what Huo Chaosheng was up to, his pretentious demeanor was truly annoying. Lin Shanchu just rolled her eyes at Huo Chaosheng in disgust and turned away from him. Huo Chaosheng was slightly taken aback. He snorted coldly and left. As Lin Shanchu turned away, she saw Xia Jinmeng talking to the director. But they were a little far so she could not hear what the two of them were talking about. Ran Zhimo suddenly walked to her side without her noticing. She asked, Why are you still wearing your jacket? Arent you hot? Nope. Lin Shanchu replied as she loosened the zipper of her jacket. Ran Zhimo carefully observed LinShanchu for a moment and noticed she didnt drop a single bead of sweat. So, she didnt say anything more. Im going to the washroom. Lin Shanchu ced her hands in her jacket pockets and strolled toward the bathroom. Not long after Lin Shanchu entered the washroom, she heard someonee in. She pushed her cubicle door open and came out to see Xia Jinmeng standing in front of the sink, looking at herself in the mirror. Xia Jinmeng was surprised to see Lin Shanchu behind her. You came to use the bathroom too? Lin Shanchu approached the sink beside her side to wash her hands as she retorted, If not? Am I here to eat shit? Xia Jinmeng was momentarily stunned by that remark. Youre a public figure. Shouldnt you know how to be mindful of your words? Were in private now, arent we? Xia Jinmeng stopped saying anything more. She was furious. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Lin Shanchu had already turned off the faucet. Without much time to think, she blurted out, The director wants you to go to his office. He has something to discuss with you. Okay. Xia Jinmeng waited for a moment for a response, but she realized Lin Shanchu was already heading out. She didnt even ask her for a reason! Xia Jinmeng had even prepared all sorts of excuses to respond to her question. But whatever! She could not be med for this! Lin Shanchu could only me herself for being stupid! Humming a tune, Lin Shanchu strolled toward the directors office. She didnt encounter anyone along the way. When she reached the entrance to the directors office, she raised her hand to knock on the door. With just one knock, the office door opened from the inside. Come in, the director is waiting for you inside. The man who spoke was a thin man of average height with a somewhat paleplexion. He had a gentle and honest look to him. He had a work tag hanging from his neck. Lin Shanchu read out the name on the tag, Jiang Ziyu. Jiang Ziyu quickly covered his work tag and urged Lin Shanchu, Come in quickly. The director has other matters to attend to. Lin Shanchu didnt say anything and obediently walked in with a docile expression. Bang! AS sonn as she entered. Tiang Ziyu mmed the door shiit The room was very quiet, so the sound of the door locking was crystal clear. However, Lin Shanchu acted as if she hadnt heard anything and walked straight toward the office desk. Lin Shanchu stopped in front of the empty desk, Wheres the director? The footsteps approached rapidly from behind. Without turning her head, Lin Shanchu dodged her body to the side to avoid Jiang Ziyu. As she dodged, Jiang Ziyu smashed the ashtray in his hand onto the desk. To smash such a thick ss with his bare hands, he must have used all his strength. Lin Shanchu maintained her bnce and looked up, immediately noticing the phone on the bookshelf. The phones camera was pointed in her direction. She reached out and grabbed the phone. The screen showed that it was recording. Does Tang Qidai know how to do anything else besides using these cheap tricks? Lin Shanchu tossed the phone into the fish tank. She had been operating single-handedly the entire time with her right hand still in her pocket. Jiang Ziyu was displeased with Lin Shanchusment on Tang Qidai and yelled at her angrily, Shut up! Youre not worthy of mentioning Daidais name. Lin Shanchu blinked in surprise, You got so angry at the mere mention of Tang Qidais name. Do you really care about her that much? Jiang Ziyu saw that Lin Shanchu was slowly retreating as she spoke and thought that she was only pretending to appear calm. She must be trembling deep down. Of course, this woman was frail and feeble. She did not have the strength to resist him at all. It would be strange if she was not afraid. I told you, youre not worthy of mentioning her name! Jiang Ziyu pressed forward step by step. He must help Daidai get rid of this woman today! Tang Qidai is a b * tch. Lin Shanchu provoked him with the most innocent voice and a smile. By now, she already had her back facing the window. She had no way out. Jiang Ziyu finally burst into a rage and charged toward Lin Shanchu with a vicious expression. How dare you insult my Daidai?! Ill kill yo- Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the sound of a sharp object piercing through flesh. Jiang Ziyus eyes widened in disbelief as he slowly lowered his head to look down at his own body Chapter 172 - 172: We Are of the Same Kind Chapter 172: We Are of the Same Kind Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Within Jiang Ziyus line of sight, he only saw the fair, beautiful fingers of a woman gripping tightly onto the handle of a ck knife through a stic bag. The other end of the hilt had already pierced into his lower left abdomen. Fresh blood flowed out as an icy wisp of wind seeped into his body through his wound with every breath he took. After a brief numbness, his nerves started transmitting the pain signals directly to Jiang Ziyus cerebral cortex as the pain from his wound gradually worsened. Jiang Ziyu staggered in pain, his entire body on the verge of copsing. Who did you say you wanted to kill? A smile wiped onto Lin Shanchus face. Her straightforward, pure eyes held no fear in them and her soft voice was as calm as still water. From her expression and tone, it was hard to imagine that she had just stabbed someones abdomen with a boning knife. You Why Jiang Ziyus face, which was gradually losing color, was filled with unwillingness. Because of Tang Qidai, he had been secretly observing Lin Shanchu for a long time. Lin Shanchu always had a kind and gentle demeanor. While most of the trainees had a background in dance and good physical fitness, Lin Shanchus fitness wasnt as great. Therefore, Jiang Ziyu felt that he could easily restrain Lin Shanchu andplete the n ording to Tang Qidais instructions. He thought everything would go smoothly. Hed never expected himself to fail. Even less did he expect Lin Shanchu toe prepared and act so ruthlessly. The corners of Lin Shanchus lips slowly turned down and the smile in her eyes faded, leaving only a solemn expression. She yanked the knife out and stepped backvvard. Blood gushed out from his gaping wound. Arge amount of blood filled the stic bag that was covering the handle of the knife. However, not a single drop of blood sttered on her. Jiang Ziyu dropped to the ground with a thud. His face was still full of resentment and unwillingness, but he was so weak he could not make a sound. Yet, he was still ring at Lin Shanchu and struggling to get up. Lin Shanchu towered over him as she stared down. Save your energy. Otherwise, youll be a corpse by the time someone finds you. If Jiang Ziyu really died here, it would not be easy to clean up the mess. It would also bring trouble to the production crew. The show might even be canceled because of someones death. Those sisters who had been practicing hard for thepetition were innocent. They should not be dragged down by scum like this. Lin Shanchu carefully wrapped the blood-stained knife back into the stic bag. In the afternoon, she lied about going to the bathroom to secretly go to the cafeteria kitchen to get it. The freshly sharpened boning knife was extremely sharp and expensive. So, she had to return it. Lin Shanchu kept the knife and prepared to leave. At this moment, a third persons voice suddenly sounded in the room. Is it necessary to waste so much time talking nonsense to someone like him? It was a very familiar clear tone and the voice was pleasant to the ears. Lin Shanchu froze. She turned around and saw Huo Chaosheng lifting the curtain to step out of the lounging area. The director was usually busy with work and often took quick breaks in the office. Which was why the office had a small lounge. Lin Shanchu watched him approach step by step as she spoke, Were you in the lounge together with him just now? Since Jiang Ziyu hade prepared, Lin Shanchu naturally thought that he would have made all the necessary preparations. She never thought there would be a third person in the directors office. Yes, Huo Chaosheng nodded seriously, The rest area has a bad orientation. Theres no light, so the director invited me to his office to rest. Lin Shanchu knew the directors personality. Huo Chaosheng was a walking celebrity, so he naturally wanted to worship him. So, it was normal for the director to let Huo Chaosheng rest in his office. Huo Chaosheng looked down at Jiang Ziyu who was lying on the ground in a semi-unconscious state. He raised his leg and kicked him a little before saying, Are you going to let him die just like that? Lin Shanchu didnt say anything and only sized Huo Chaosheng up. She didnt know who Huo Chaosheng was, nor did she know what Huo Chaosheng wanted to do. She could only wait and see. Huo Chaosheng noticed her concern andforted her with a smile, Dont worry, I wont tell anyone about this. Why? Lin Shanchu asked coldly. Because Huo Chaosheng deliberately dragged out his tone. When he saw the impatience on Lin Shanchus face, he continued, We are of the same kind. His expression instantly became extremely serious. Lin Shanchu narrowed his eyes at him, So, you approached me on purpose? Smart girl! Huo Chaosheng looked at her with a look of admiration, Of course, people of the same kind should be good friends, right? Another lunatic. Lin Shanchu turned around and walked out. But Huo Chaoshengs voice and footsteps came from behind. Why are you leaving? Lin Shanchu ignored him. Arent you afraid that hell call the police? He wouldnt dare, Lin Shanchu replied without looking back. She had merely called Tang Qidai a b * tch and Jiang Ziyu had already lost his mind. How could he risk implicating Tang Qidai by calling the police? Oh, okay then Ill throw him out, Huo Chaosheng replied. Throw him out?! Lin Shanchu furrowed her brows slightly and turned around to see Huo Chaosheng dragging Jiang Ziyu to the window. What are you doing?! Lin Shanchus expression changed. Dont you think its too easy to just stab him once? Huo Chaosheng said with a smile. He loosened his grip and Jiang Ziyu plunged. Did I do well? Huo Chaosheng winked at her as if he was asking for credit. Those who didnt know would probably think that Huo Chaosheng had really done a good deed. But this person, who had just thrown a living person out of a fourth -floor window with a smile on his face, said that he was of the same kind as her. Jiang Ziyu, the victim whom he had just thrown down, held no grudges against him. No normal person would do such a thing to someone who had nothing to do with them. She was not the same as this psychopath at all. We are not the same. Lin Shanchu coldly stated before pushing the door open and leaving. As soon as she stepped out of the office door, an rm rang in her head. [Major disruption detected in the main storyline. Significant deviation of main characters from the set storyline. Initiating repair] Ever since herst negotiation failed, Lin Shanchu had blocked the system for a long time. When she heard the rm, she shuddered out of shock before remembering that she still had a system. She didnt even have the mood to talk to it. This system was useless. It would only ever cause trouble for her. When it first appeared, it said that it wanted to restore her character. In the end, it didnt aplish anything. Avoiding the crowd, Lin Shanchu took a detour and headed to the cafeteria. Everyone in the cafeteria was busy preparing dinner, so amidst the chaos, no one noticed Lin Shanchu. She washed the blood off the knife and threw it into the sink. She held the knife handle with the stic bag the entire time so she didnt leave any fingerprints. Then, she left quickly. Not long after she walked out, she heard the chefs voice from inside. I was wondering why I couldnt find this boning knife. It fell into a crack. Lin Shanchu didnt stop walking at all and went straight down the emergency exit.. Chapter 173 - 173: Kill Lu Shiyuan on Livestream Chapter 173: Kill Lu Shiyuan on Livestream Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There was still an hour before dinner time. The trainees were all in the training room. The staff members of the production crew were either attending meetings or filming on the scene. Therefore, Lin Shanchu didnt bump into anyone as she walked downstairs to the first floor. The directors office and the training room were facing the opposite direction. So for the time being, no one noticed that Jiang Ziyu had just been thrown from the fourth floor This situation would have been easier to handle if Jiang Ziyu was discovered while he was in the directors office considering how much it would cost the show and how willing Jiang Ziyu was to not report to the police. But now, because of that psychopath Huo Chaosong, things have beplicated. If Jiang Ziyu were to die like this, things would turn even moreplicated. As Lin Shanchu was thinking of all sorts of ways to deal with the situation, her pace unintentionally quickened. She could see Jiang Ziyu lying in a pool of blood from a distance. Lin Shanchu was about to go over, but she noticed that someone was already one step ahead of her. Lin Shanchu reacted quickly and retreated as she stared forward. The moment she saw the wheelchair, her eyes widened in shock. Other than Huo Xunzhou, there was no one else in the training camp who was in a wheelchair. Lin Shanchu could only watch as Li MO pushed Huo Xunzhou over to Jiang Ziyus body. Why was Huo Xunzhou back all of a sudden? Li MO squatted on the ground to check Jiang Ziyus pulse, then took out his phone to make a call. He was either calling the police or the doctor. But Lin Shanchu couldnt guess who exactly he was calling. If it were someone else that approached the body, she could make up an excuse and pretend she was there by coincidence. But the person who appeared here was Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was so bright, it was as if he had ten heads. She couldnt even stop him from figuring out what was going on, let alone lie to him that it was a coincidence since he could already tell just by discovering that she was spying on them. Lin Shanchu noticed that Huo Xunzhou had also taken out his phone to make a call. Just as Huo Xunzhou brought the phone to his ear, he seemed to have sensed something and looked in Lin Shanchus direction. Lin Shanchu quickly hid. [Main storyline repair failed.] The system also happened to finish repairing at this moment. The sudden robotic-sounding announcement startled Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu could not even be bothered to mock the system anymore, so she just turned around and ran upstairs. She had to go back and think of a strategy. However, the system seemed to have malfunctioned and kept repeating the phrase Main storyline repair failed over and over again. Shut up. The system paused for two seconds before it continued repeating: Main storyline repair failed. But the volume was slightly softer than before. Lin Shanchu didnt have time to care about it and quickly climbed the stairs to the floor where the training room was located. The director held a megaphone and shouted at the entrance of each training room, Everyone, please gather outside! The trainees came out of the training room with puzzled faces. Lin Shanchu immediately took a detour to the washroom. She washed her face and calmed her breathing before walking back out. Ran Zhimo happened to see hering out of the bathroom. You were in the bathroom for so long? Could it be that you ate something bad? Previously, when Ran Zhimo and Lin Shanchu parted ways, Lin Shanchu had said that he needed to go to the washroom. So Ran Zhimo thought that Lin Shanchu had been in the washroom all this time. Constipated, Lin Shanchu said calmly. Upon hearing her response, Ran Zhimo gave Lin Shanchu some genuine advice, Drink some yogurt and eat some dragon fruit or something. It might help. Is everyone here? The director stood in front of the line and started counting, Group members, check if all your teammates are here. Lin Shanchu was scanning the crowd for Xia Jinmeng. Soon, she spotted Xia Jinmeng close by, ncing around at her surroundings just like her. Xia Jinmeng was also looking for her. If Lin Shanchu did not show up, it meant that Jiang Ziyu had seeded. Xia Jinmeng was searching carefully. When her gaze slowlynded on Lin Shanchu, her pupils widened. Why was Lin Shanchu still standing here unscathed? Didnt Jiang Ziyu say that everything had been arranged? How did he still fail? Lin Shanchu actually escaped the hands of Jiang Ziyu! If that was the case, wouldnt Lin Shanchu know that she was in cahoots with Jiang Ziyu? Lin Shanchu would definitely not let her off easily! Thinking of this, Xia Jinmeng became anxious and afraid. She did not dare to look up at Lin Shanchu. Xia Jinmeng was so flustered that she bit her lips. She barely managed to calm herself down and mentally prepare herself. Xia Jinmeng turned to look at Lin Shanchu again. She saw Lin Shanchu talking to the person beside her with a smile on her face. She did not look like a woman who had just escaped the grasp of a man who wanted to vite her. Does that mean Lin Shanchu didnt go to the directors office at all? That must be the case. Otherwise, Lin Shanchu wouldnt have behaved so calmly when she saw her. The director just finished counting the number of people present. Everyone was here. The director heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he handed the megaphone to the staff member beside him and stepped aside to make a call. The staff member announced, The director said, everyone has been working hard today, so he wants to treat all of you to ice cream. Lin Shanchu knew that the ice cream was just a cover-up. The production crews goal was to gather everyone together and prevent them from finding out about Jiang Ziyu. Everyone went to get their ice cream and made their way back to the training room. The director called them back, Why are you guys in such a hurry to return to the training room? Lets sit together and chat for a while to rx. After all, dinner will be served soon. After that, the staff even organized some games for the trainees to y together. With more than forty girls ying together, it was so noisy they all had to shout above the crowd for others to be able to hear them. Lin Shanchu didnt join them. Her mind was in a mess. This f * cking system was probably about to bepletely useless. It was still repeating the same phrase: Main storyline repair failed Yun Wu was nibbling on her ice cream as she squeezed her way by Lin Shanchus side, Shanshan, did you hear an ambnce? Lin Shanchu was trying to listen attentively. However, all she could hear was the annoying voice of the system. If you dont shut up, Ill kill Lu Shiyuan on livestream! lne moment sne tnougnt ot tms statement, It took Immediate ettect. The system finally shut up. Her mind quieted down and Lin Shanchu managed to faintly hear the sound of the ambnce. Yun Wu whispered into Lin Shanchus ear, Do you think something happened to the production crew? Huh? Otherwise, why would the director suddenly gather all of us together? Yun Wu was really smart and she wasnt wrong with her guess. Lin Shanchus gaze flickered slightly, The director has always been good to us. Didnt he give us choctes before? Thats true, Yun Wu nodded, If something really happened, we would have heard sirens. There were no police sirens, only the sound of the ambnce. This meant that Huo Xunzhou didnt call the police. The system, which finally returned to normal, just realized what Lin Shanchu had done. [You stabbed Jiang Ziyu! You cant stab people!] Chapter 174 - 174: Have You Finally Gone Crazy? Chapter 174: Have You Finally Gone Crazy? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The systems mechanical voice was fluctuating. So, I shouldnt stab him? Lin Shanchu sneered, Should I just sit still and wait for me to be the star of an indecent video? [That wont happen. You have the halo of the female lead.] What else has this halo done for me other than keep me from dying? The System was speechless. It seemed that it was time for everyones favorite segment. The segment was called: Speechless. Lin Shanchu continued, Is there a way to unbind it? The System was speechless. Tsk. The System was speechless. Not only did Lin Shanchu despise it, she also scorned it. The system shut itself up. In a humble tone, it spoke up after a while. [The female leads halo can help you eliminate unfavorable evidence.] Theres no need. She hadnt left any fingerprints to begin with. The system replied: [The surveince camera captured you going to the directors office.] So what? If Jiang Ziyu didnt call the police or identified her, it didnt matter if the surveince cameras caught her. After a moment of silence, the unfamiliar voice of a small child sounded in Lin Shanchus mind, a voice she had never heard before. [Please, dont unbind yourself from me. Trust me again. Im a really useful and good system. Sob sob sob sob] Have you finally gone crazy? [ording to the relevant statistics, baby voices make people feelforted and at ease.] I feel most at ease when you dont speak. [I will definitely perform well. Sob, sob, sob] This system really had issues. Lin Shanchu still blocked the system once again. Suddenly, a series of screams erupted behind her. Alec! Ahhhh! Its Alec! Alec is here again! Before Lin Shanchu could look behind her, she saw Yun Wu stuffing what was left of her ice cream into her mouth and then squatting down to bury her head in her knees. Lin Shanchu looked at Yun Wu, then turned to Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng was waving at the trainees who called out his name as he strode over to Lin Shanchu. Walking up to her, he tilted his head slightly at Yun Wu, who was beside Lin Shanchu. Teacher Wu Everyone exchanged bewildered nces. Alec just called Yun Wu a teacher. Whats going on? How can Yun Wu be Alecs teacher? I dont know. Ive never heard of it.. Yun Wu acted as if she didnt hear anything. She didnt react at all and continued pretending as if she was dead. Alec, do you want some ice cream? Lin Shanchu asked. Sure. Huo Chaosheng smiled, looking rather cheerful. Go get it from the director. Theres still some leftover. Oh. Huo Chaosheng turned around and walked toward the director. Yun Wu heard his departing footsteps and finally raised her head. Suddenly, Huo Chaosheng turned around. Teacher Wu! Huo Chaoshengughed happily when he saw Yun Wus shocked and aggrieved expression. Do you think I wouldnt recognize you just because Im looking at the back of your head? Huo Chaosheng crouched down in front of Yun Wu, his cheerful eyes leveling with her. Yun Wu forced a smile, Good to see you. Yeah, good to see you too, Huo Chaoshengs smile deepened. Yun Wu turned to exin to Lin Shanchu, I used to be a dance teacher at SOF. As soon as she finished speaking, a collective gasp filled the surrounding area. SOF dance teacher? Oh my god! Yun Wu is Alecs teacher! Yun Wu is awesome! I knew it! Its impossible that someone as talented as Yun Wu wasnt reputable! Im really just a passerby in this world. Ahhhhhhhhhh! Huo ChaoSheng stood up and reacted to the crowds response, Didnt Teacher Wu mention this? Everyone shook their heads. Huo Chaosheng sighed slightly and feigned a look of sadness, Thats normal. After all, Teacher Wu never contacted us after she left. Ill go get you some ice cream. Yun Wu frowned and approached the director. Huo Chaosheng sat cross-legged at the side. When he adjusted his sitting position, he leaned towards Lin Shanchu and spoke in a tone that only the two of them could hear. That person was taken away by the ambnce. His tone sounded a little regretful. Lin Shanchu turned her face away and ignored him. At this moment, a staff member walked over, The cafeteria staff said that dinner is ready. Everyone, hurry up and go eat! Shanshan, lets eat. Yun Wu waved at Lin Shanchu from afar. Lin Shanchu stood up and left. When she walked in front of Yun Wu, she realized that Yun Wus gaze was directed behind her. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Chaosheng following them. Yun Wu went two steps ahead and stood between him and Lin Shanchu, Why are you following Shanshan? Im going to eat, Huo Chaosheng smiled innocently. Huo Chaosheng bent down slightly to make sure that his eyes were level with Yun Wu and said, softly, Youre quite fierce, Teacher Wu. Yun Wu turned around and pulled Lin Shanchu away. Huo Xunzhou followed them to the cafeteria. He trailed behind Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu like a stalker, sitting wherever they sat. One brave trainee approached Huo Chaosheng and asked, Mr. Alec, can I sit here? Of course you can. Huo Chaosheng even moved to the side considerately. His polite demeanor gave him a touch of a noble young masters aura. But when one came, another would follow. Soon, the seats at Lin Shanchus table were filled to the brim. Lin Shanchu watched coldly as Huo Chaosheng interacted with the girls gently and politely. If she hadnt personally witnessed Huo Chaosheng throw Jiang Ziyu out of the window, she might have also been fooled by Huo Chaoshengs current appearance. Beside her, Yun Wu had been furiously scooping up food since she sat down. She didnt bother to cast another nce at Huo ChaoSheng. Lin Shanchu recalled Yun Wus warning about Huo Chaoshengs bad temper and to stay away from him. However, seeing as how Yun Wu was avoiding Huo Chaosheng like the gue, seemed that Huo ChaoSheng was not simply someone with a bad temper. Yun Wu saying that he had a bad temper was probably just a cover-up. In any case, Huo Chaosheng was not a good person. Shanshan, Im done eating. Lets go, Yun Wu quickly finished the food on her te, barely swallowing as she eagerly wanted to leave. Was Yun Wu afraid of Huo Chaosheng? Lin Shanchu replied calmly, Alright. When Huo ChaoSheng saw that Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu were about to leave, he also stood up. Teacher Alec, are you full already? A trainee asked. Huo Chaosheng nodded, Yes, Im full. Im going to catch up with Teacher Wu. Since he said so, the other trainees naturally did not say anything more. Huo Chaosheng followed Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu, pretending toin, Why didnt you wait for me? Ah Wu, youre really a heartbreaker. Although he was speaking to Yun Wu, he stood beside Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu felt Yun Wus grip on her arm tightened. Now she could confirm that Yun Wu was genuinely afraid of Huo Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu rubbed Yun Wus palm tofort her, then turned to re at Huo Chaosheng coldly. Her eyes bore a strong warning.. Chapter 175 - 175: Do You Think We’ re In The Kind of Chapter 175: Do You Think We re In The Kind of Rtionship Where We Must Have A Reason To Meet? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchus warning gaze didnt make Huo Chaosheng angry. Instead, his eyes lit up in excitement. The corners of his lips started to twitch, indicating he was about to speak. But at this moment, a familiar voice emitted in front of them. Huo Chaosheng! It was a deep male voice resonating from someone with a sharp aura. That voice was so pleasant and recognizable that Lin Shanchu didnt even need to look to know who it was. Huo Xunzhou rolled forward in his wheelchair. His indifferent expression concealing his emotions and his beautiful peach blossom eyes, which were usually inscrutable, now seemed deeper and more profound. The moment Huo Chaosheng saw Huo Xunzhou, his rxed expression disappeared and his eyes darkened. The two of them were so obvious that Lin Shanchu knew she had guessed correctly. Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng were indeed rted. After a while, Huo Chaosheng seemed to have sorted out his emotions and called out with a smile, Third Brother. Third Brother? Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou in surprise. She then realized that Huo Xunzhou was looking at her no, more specifically, he was looking beside her at Yun Wu. Huo Xunzhou only let his gaze linger on Yun Wu briefly before looking away. Come out, he said, signaling for Li MO to leave. Huo Chaosheng tilted his head in an interested manner as he looked at Lin Shanchu. Speaking in a tone as if he was introducing a loved one to an old friend, he said to Lin Shanchu, Thats my third brother. Its been a long time since west met, so he probably wants to catch up with me. Is that so? The expression Huo Xunzhou had didnt seem like he wanted to catch up with Huo Chaosheng. Without confirming nor denying it, Huo Chaosheng said, Im leaving now. Ille and y with you guyster. After Huo Chaosheng left, Yun Wu heaved a long sigh of relief. Lin Shanchu saw this and did not ask further. He left the canteen with Yun Wu without saying a word. As soon as Huo Chaosheng left, the trainees in the cafeteria who had deliberately taken their time to eat just to take a few more nces at Huo Chaosheng started leaving. Before Yun Wu could even reach the training room, she was swarmed by a bunch of trainees asking her about herself and the members of SOF. There were so many people to the point Lin Shanchu got squeezed out. She stood at the side and gawked for a moment before heading to the balcony for some fresh air. A cool breeze blew in thete summer evening. The hot air dissipated and the curtain of night fell. The streetmps on the sidewalk in front of the training camp gate gradually lit up. Bothnes of the road were lined with cars that stretched out onto the entire street like a train. Usually, there would be cars parked by the roadside, but there were never as many as today. Lin Shanchus gaze trailed the row of cars and was met with a white car at the end of the line. The street lights were dim, so she couldnt see clearly. But, she vaguely noticed that there was blue paint on the car. That model with a white base and blue paint Wasnt that a police car? No wonder. It wasnt that Huo Xunzhou failed to report the incident, instead, he coordinated with the police to handle the case discreetly so no one was rmed. Lin Shanchu chuckled. Indeed, he was an upright and honorable character. The production crew hoped for a low-profile police investigation, so naturally, they wouldnt want the trainees to discover the polices presence in the training camp. Once the police arrived, they would have immediately gone to review the surveince footage to find the suspect. Specting in this way, Huo Xunzhou must have left for the cafeteria earlier to help the police. But right now, Huo Xunzhou was only calling for Huo Chaosong. If they had checked the surveince footage, the police would have definitely found out that she had gone to the directors office along with Jiang Ziyu. Why wasnt he calling for her? When Huo Xunzhou arrived at the cafeteria just now, he didnt even spare her a nce. Something was fishy about this. After contemting for a moment, Lin Shanchu turned around and headed in the direction of Nan Mus office. When she went over, a group of people happened toe out of Nan Mus office. Feel free to contact us if needed. We will fully cooperate with the investigation Nan Mu spoke solemnly to the man in ck beside him. They were obviously undercover police officers. The undercover policemen grabbed Huo Chaoshengs arm and said, Well take Huo Chaosheng back to the station for now. Thank you for your cooperation. Huo Chaoshengs hands were sped in front of him and his wrists were wrapped in a ck cloth. He was probably handcuffed underneath. When Huo Chaosheng was being taken away by the police, he casually looked back at Huo Xunzhou and talked to him as if it was no big deal, Third brother, lets grab a meal together when Ie back. Huo Xunzhou looked at Huo Chaosheng silently with a dark expression. After the police disappeared with Huo Chaosheng, Nan Mu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou with a regretful expression. Xunzhou, I really didnt know that Huo Chaosheng was your notorious younger brother. If Id known, I wouldnt have invited him as a guest on the show. Huo Xunzhou seemed lost in thought and took several seconds before speaking. He suddenly spoke about something that waspletely unrted to Huo Chaosheng. Investigate Jiang Ziyu. Nan Mu was expecting Huo Xunzhou to be angry, so he stood there stunned for a moment from his reaction before replying, Alright, Ill check it out immediately. Nan Mu walked back to his office. Now, only Li MO and Huo Xunzhou were left. Big Brother, I know the surveince footage shows that Huo Chaosheng was the only one who entered the directors office before and after Jiang Ziyus incident, but was he really the one who did this? It doesnt matter if he did it or not, Huo Xunzhous voice grew deep. Li MO seemed to have a realization and said angrily, Yeah, no matter what he does, someone will always be there to clean up his mess. In this brief conversation between the two, a lot of information was conveyed. The police did not see Lin Shanchu entering the directors office in the surveince footage with Jiang Ziyu. Huo Chaosheng was not a person to be trifled with and he often acted arrogantly. However, he had a strong background. No matter what he did, someone would help cover it up. In other words, even if Huo Chaosong was taken away by the police, he would soon De released It tnere wasnt any solid evidence. No wonder Huo Chaosong seemed so rxed when he was taken away. He knew he would be fine. Whos there?! Li MO suddenly shouted loudly in Lin Shanchus direction. Lin Shanchu came back to her senses and realized that the corner of her shirt was sticking out. She decided to show herself confidently. Miss Lin? Li MO was shocked. Huo Xunzhou also looked up at her, his expression unfazed. Miss Lin, when did you arrive? Li MO looked a little nervous. Lin Shanchu knew what he was nervous about. I heard everything you said just now. Hiding the truth would only raise suspicion towards him while admitting it would prove his honesty. Li MO looked helpless as he turned to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou finally spoke his first words to Lin Shanchu since his appearance. Do you need something? How was she supposed to respond? Lin Shanchu was a bit dissatisfied with Huo Xunzhous opening line especially after not seeing him for over ten days. As for why she was dissatisfied, she hadnt really given it a thought. Lin Shanchu walked up to Huo Xunzhou with light steps. Her cat-like eyes fixed on him. Brother Xunzhou, do you think were in the kind of rtionship where we must have a reason to meet? Her soft and gentle voice was like a vine that could wrap around ones heart. Li MOs eyes widened. Brother? Are they siblings or a match made in heaven? Had he missed out on some exciting news? Since when did Miss Lin start calling Big Brother Brother? Since she was calling him brother, was their following conversation something that he was allowed to hear? Chapter 176 - 176: He Told Me Chapter 176: He Told Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Out of the corner of his eye, Li MO noticed that Huo Xunzhous palm ced on the armrest of the wheelchair tightened unaturally. That gave him a clear answer. The conversation Miss Lin and Big Brother were about to have was definitely not for an outsider like him to listen. Im going to the bathroom. Li MO reacted quickly. He opened the door to Nan Mus office and immediately shut it after entering. Nan Mu had just hung up from a phone call and happened to overhear Li Mos words. He looked at Li Mo with an are you alright expression and said, Theres no bathroom in my office. Li MO smirked and pointed outside, Miss Lin is here. Oh Nan Mu revealed a look of understanding. The two of them instinctively walked to the side of the door and leaned against it, listening to themotion outside. Li MO pressed his ear against the door for a long time but didnt hear anything. Are they not talking? I had this door custom-made at a high price. It has good soundproofing. Li MO rolled his eyes at Nan Mu. Outside the door. Huo Xunzhou loosened his grip on the armrest and said calmly, Have you finished rehearsing for the third performance? He went straight for the kill. His light tone carried a hint of provocation. Lin Shanchu had already mentally prepared herself to be embarrased on stage during the third performance. However, she still felt a little angry when Huo Xunzhou teased her about it like this. Thats none of your business! Sister Shanshan, do you think that were not in a rtionship where were allowed to care for each other? This was probably what people would call having a taste of your own medicine. Lin Shanchu choked on Huo Xunzhous words. But she also felt relieved. Fortunately, when she was discovered earlier, she didnt try to y it cool and pretended not to hear their conversation. If she did that, Huo Xunzhou would definitely be suspicious of her. Lin Shanchu scoffed, I dont know how to rap anyway. Huo Chaosheng thinks I cant do it too, so he cant be bothered to teach me. Since Huo Xunzhou had brought up the topic of rehearsing for the third performance, she could use this opportunity to talk about Huo Chaosheng. Sure enough, Huo Xunzhous expression darkened when she mentioned Huo Chaoshengs name. What happened to Huo Chaosheng anyway? Lin Shanchu asked. How did you know his name was Huo Chaosheng? Huo Xunzhou asked in a deep voice. He told me, Lin Shanchu replied as she smoothly slipped in another question, Is he your brother? Huo Xunzhou looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze and didnt give a direct answer, Are you concerned about him? Lin Shanchu was slightly taken aback, but then she smiled and said, He looks better than Lu Shiyuan. It was a simple sentence, but it incited an endless world of imagination. The performance is near. Go back and intensify your training, Huo Xunzhous tone was colder than before. Before Lin Shanchu could react, Huo Xunzhou had already turned around and opened the door to Nan Mus office. He twisted the handle and felt some resistance when he tried pushing it in. Huo Xunzhou pushed harder. As the door pushed open, the muffled sounds of two heavy objects thud onto the ground. Li MO quickly jumped up from the ground, looking guilty, Big brother The quality of this door is quite good. Its not damaged at all Nan Mus body wasnt that flexible, so he simply sat on the ground and pretended to check the quality of the door. Huo Xunzhou didnt even look at them. He closed the door and walked in. Nan Mu and Li MO exchanged nces, then huddled together and whispered to each other. Xunzhou seems a little angry It seems that the conversation with Miss Lin didnt end well again. Isnt this a normal thing? He has always been bad at chatting Youre the one whos not good at chatting! My big brother is great at it! Yeah, yeah. Hes the best They just kept talking until Huo Xunzhous voice interrupted their conversation. What about Jiang Ziyus information? Nan Mu immediately shot up in front of him, I just got someone to send a copy of it to my email. He found Jiang Ziyus file and showed it to Huo Xunzhou. The information on it was very detailed. It providedprehensive details on Jiang Ziyu including his personal information and family background. Nan Mu had already carefully reviewed everything in advance. Based on this info, your troublesome brother had no connection to him whatsoever. Li MO also walked over and joined the conversation, But I dont think he would attack others for no reason. Huo Xunzhou scrolled to the bottom and read carefully. Check Jiang Ziyus interpersonal rtionships. Lin Shanchu ced her hands behind her back as she strolled towards the training room. Huo Xunzhou seemed genuinely angry when he dismissed her earlier. Well, thats good too. After all, her future doesnt look very bright. Lin Shanchu quicklyposed herself and summoned the system. Did you handle the surveince footage? Judging from the reactions of Huo Xunzhou and his men, there was indeed no sign of her in the surveince cameras. Huo Hunzhou is usually adept at concealing his emotions. But Li MO isnt. When Li MO saw her earlier, he behaved like usual. [Of course I did! That was me! Did I do well?] The system proudly asked for credit in its childish voice. You think youre so great? Lin Shanchu sneered. The system could tell from her tone that she was in a mood, so it hesitated to speak. After a moment of silence, the system asked, [Are you not satisfied?] Lin Shanchu took a deep breath and said with suppressed emotions, Youre amazing. The system was just made up of lines of code. It couldnt fully sense Lin Shanchus sarcasm and genuinely thought she was praising it. It happily replied, [I will continue to do my best!] After the system finished speaking, it waited for Lin Shanchu to praise it more. But in the end, it realized that it had been blocked once again. Lin Shanchu was utterly disgusted by this system. The system had already erased the evidence of Lu Shiyuan murdering Jing Ming. Now, the video of her and Jiang Ziyu entering the directors office together had also been manipted. It turns out that you had to be a viin to receive the systems help. Was such a system really necessary? As Lin Shanchu neared the training room, she could see Xia Jinmeng loitering suspiciously at the entrance. She tiptoed over and silently approached Xia Jinmeng. Looking for me? she asked. Xia Jinmeng was startled by the sudden female voice behind her. As Xia Jinmeng turned around, her face was initially filled with anger, but upon relizing that it was Lin Shanchu, she instantly felt guilty. Lin Shanchu stared at her with a straight face. It was bad enough that Xia Jinmeng was feeling guilty, but she could feel the goosebumps growing all over her body after being stared at like this. She turned around and tried to slip away. Lin Shanchu raised her hand to block her. What what are you doing? Xia Jinmeng stuttered in fear. Lin Shanchu smiled mischievously, Why are you so afraid of me? Xia Jinmeng couldnt identify the emotions behind Lin Shanchus words. For the entire day, Xia Jinmeng had been pondering about this matter and felt uneasy. So, she just wanted to confirm whether Lin Shanchu had really gone to the directors office. You Didnt you go to the directors office? She deliberately lowered her voice, afraid of being overheard. After listening to Xia Jinmengs thoughts, Lin Shanchu decided to tease her, Do you think I went? Chapter 177 - 177: The Decision Is Not Up To You Chapter 177: The Decision Is Not Up To You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Xia Jinmeng had a feeling that Lin Shanchu was not answering her question on purpose. Since Lin Shanchu was still in the mood to y the guessing game with her, it meant that she hadnt gone to the directors office. Therefore, Jiang Ziyu did not seed. At the thought of this, Xia Jinmeng heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Lin Shanchu didnt know that she was in cahoots with Jiang Ziyu, it would be fine. However, there was something strange. Jiang Ziyu never came to look for her. If Lin Shanchu hadnt gone to the directors office, Jiang Ziyu would definitely havee looking for her again. At the thought of this, Xia Jinmengs heart, which had just settled down, started pumping anxiously. Jiang Ziyu definitely wouldnt have given up just like that. Jiang Ziyu and Tang Qidais original n was to release the video on the day of the third performance. Seeing that there were only a few days left until then, they needed to hurry. Having figured everything out, Xia Jinmeng rxed and asked, Why didnt you She needed to know if Lin Shanchu was suspecting her. If Lin Shanchu wasnt suspicious of her, she would still have a chance. If Lin Shanchu were suspicious of her, it would be a little troublesome to deceive her into meeting Jiang Ziyu next time. Lin Shanchu observed all of Xia Jinmengs changes in expression. She gently smiled and said, I went. What? Xia Jinmengs smile froze on her face. I said Lin Shanchu leaned close to Xia Jinmengs ear and spoke word by word, I went to the directors office. Xia Jinmengs eyes widened in shock and fear. Lin Shanchu had led Xia Jinmeng onto an entire rollercoaster ride of emotions just to see the expression she was having right now. Lin Shanchu held her tender smile and reached out to stroke Xia Jinmengs head, If you dont believe me, you can ask Jiang Ziyu. Xia Jinmengs body was stiff as if she had been glued to the ground. Under Lin Shanchus gentle caress, she did not dare to make a move. Lin Shanchu went to the directors office! Lin Shanchu escaped from Jiang Ziyus hands! A long time had passed since Lin Shanchu left the directors office, yet she didnt confront Xia Jinmeng face-to-face. Instead, she waited for Xia Jinmeng toe knocking on her door Within that period of time, Lin Shanchu must have thought of a way to deal with her. The more Xia Jinmeng thought, the colder her body felt. When Lin Shanchu withdrew her hand, Xia Jinmeng seemed to have lost all her strength and copsed to the ground. Whats wrong with Xia Jinmeng? A passing trainee asked with concern, Why does she look so pale? Xia Jinmeng just had a nk expression and didnt react at all. Lin Shanchu smiled and spoke, Shes probably hypoglycemic. Do you have any sugar? I dont. Let me ask if the others have any. The trainee ran off and soon returned with a yogurt drink. Theres no sugar, only a yogurt drink. Yogurt is fine too. Lin Shanchu took the yogurt and slowly tore it open. Then, she held Xia Jinmengs chin and forcefully inserted the straw into her mouth. Although it isnt sugar, this can alleviate the situation urgently. When you have to make do, you have to make do. Lin Shanchu maintained a smiling and gentle expression throughout. Seeing Lin Shanchu so considerately feeding Xia Jinmeng the yogurt drink, the other trainee turned and left, feeling reassured. Xia Jinmeng was biting the straw in her mouth, not daring to move. Dont you think so, Xia Jinmeng? Lin Shanchu asked her seriously. Xia Jinmeng trembled as she replied, Yes. Then why arent you drinking?! Lin Shanchus tone suddenly became heavier, her gentle voice turned unusually cold. Xia Jinmeng was shocked and did not dare to resist her. She obediently began to drink the yogurt. They were all despicable people who bullied the kind -hearted. Lin Shanchus perspective changed. Cultivating a young sapling requires great patience. Even if this sapling grew crooked, in the end, it was still wood, right? At least it had some use. Starting over with a new sapling would be too costly and time-consuming. She didnt have so much time to wait. Xia Jinmeng was forced to slurp down a packet of yogurt. Lin Shanchu patted her head as if she was proud of her, Good girl. Seeing how obedient you are, I will continue to help you get everything you want. Xia Jinmeng doubted if she was hearing things. You You dont me me? Of course I cant me you. Its all Tang Qidais fault. She forced you to do this, didnt she? Lin Shanchu considerately provided Xia Jinmeng with an excuse to absolve herself of me. Yes! Xia Jinmeng hurriedly nodded. This was all Tang Qidais idea. It was all her fault! I didnt want to harm you! Lin Shanchu managed to escape from Jiang Ziyu and Tang Qidais so-called foolproof n failed again. Xia Jinmeng had a feeling that Tang Qidai might not be able to defeat Lin Shanchu. If that was the case, she might as well switch sides as soon as possible. Although Lin Shanchu had a mysterious personality and was difficult to read, she was more soft-hearted than that vile Tang Qidai. After dealing with Tang Qidai, she could seek help from Lu Shiyuan to deal with Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu helped Xia Jinmeng to her feet and said sweetly, Lets go back now. Xia Jinmeng left happily. Lin Shanchu remained in ce, her gaze gradually turning cold. Some people were like this, always finding excuses for their actions. In the end, they med everything on others, never reflecting on themselves, taking no responsibility, and repeating the same mistakes. There was a reason why Xia Jinmeng was worse off than Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai had clear goals, was patient, and was ruthless. But in the end, she got what she wanted. Xia Jinmeng on the other hand, was far from sessful. People had to take responsibility for their choices. Whether it was Tang Qidai, Xia Jinmeng, or even herself. The next afternoon, Huo Chaosheng appeared in the training room. Lin Shanchu had overheard Huo Xunzhou and Li Mos conversation yesterday, so she wasnt surprised at Huo Zhaoshengs arrival. When no one else was around, Huo Zhaosheng approached Lin Shanchu, You dont seem surprised by my appearance. Lin Shanchus expression was cold, Since you dared to take action, naturally, you must have had a way to get out of it. So, I really didnt misjudge you. You do understand me. Huo Chaoshengughed, his eyes filled with uncontroble excitement. Lin Shanchu didnt know why his casual words could hit Huo Chaosheng like this. Huo Zhaosheng came even closer and said mysteriously, I know which hospital that person is in. Lin Shanchu thought about it and reacted, Jiang Ziyu? Yes. Huo Chaosheng nodded heavily, appearing somewhat obedient. For a pervert like him, the more normal and cute his expression was, the more it indicated that his mind was filled with perverse thoughts. What are you nning? Lin Shanchu squinted. Do you want to kill him? I can do it at any time, Huo Chaoshengs tone was so casual it sounded like he was chatting with her. It was as if killing someone was as simple as eating and washing your hands. We are not the same kind! Huo Chaosheng was aplete pervert! Huo Chaosheng shook his head and looked unhappy, The decision is not up to you.. Chapter 178 - 178: I Have A Name, It’s Lin Shanchu Chapter 178: I Have A Name, Its Lin Shanchu Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu didnt care if he was happy or not. She stood up and was about to leave. Huo Chaosheng pulled her back. He ced her hand on his chest and his eyes lit up, My heart tells me that we are the same. Lin Shanchu struggled hard but couldnt break free. What Lin Shanchu hated the most were people who used their physical strength to force others to do as they say. Especially men. There were trainees nearby and cameras all around her. But Lin Shanchu didnt care. She raised her foot and kicked fiercely at Huo Chaoshengs calf Huo Chaosheng was caught off guard and took on Lin Shanchus kick head-on. He immediately gasped in pain as his calf went numb, feeling as if it had been severed. The forceful grip around Lin Shanchus wrist also went loose. A few of the staff members behind the camera saw this happening through the screen and were shocked. They quickly rushed over in concern. Whats wrong? What happened? Huo Chaosheng was the worlds top-tier celebrity. He was said to have a strong family background, which meant that there should be no chance of mishaps. But when Huo Chaosheng came to look for Lin Shanchu earlier, her teammates noticed him. They all saw Huo Chaosheng pulling on Lin Shanchus hand and Lin Shanchu kicking Huo Chaosheng. In their eyes, Lin Shanchu kicked Huo Chaosheng because she was angry about him holding her hand. Although they all liked Huo Chaosheng, they could still look at the situation clearly. Which was why her teammates ran over to look at Lin Shanchu with concern. Are you alright? Ran Zhimo asked Lin Shanchu softly. Lin Shanchus expression was still a bit cold. Im fine, her tone softened in the face of her teammates concern. Huo Chaosheng lifted his leg and stretched it around. Then, he said helplessly to the staff, Its nothing, I just identally stepped on my right foot with my left foot. There was a hint of annoyance in his tone as if he couldnt do anything about his clumsiness. The staff members were all taken aback after hearing this. Other staff members who hadnt previously witnessed the situation found Huo Chaoshengs reaction to be quite cute and couldnt help butugh. Teacher Huo, please be careful. The performance is in a few days, so you cant afford to have any idents. Okay. Huo Chaosheng nodded cooperatively. At this moment, Huo Chaoshengs behavior was the Alec that everyone loved. Handsome, patient, gentle, and didnt put up a front. However, this was only superficial. The real Huo Chaosheng was inhumane. Sensing Lin Shanchus gaze on him, Huo Chaosheng turned around and shed her a bright smile. Lin Shanchu suddenly understood why Huo Chaosheng said they were of the same kind. She and Huo Chaosheng seemed to be no different from each other. They would both disguise themselves as someone that everyone loved in broad daylight. Then, in the dark corners where no one could see, they would reveal their detestable true nature. Once the staff members left, Huo Chaoshengined to Lin Shanchu, Why are you even fiercer than Teacher Wu? Only after hearing him mention Yun Wu did Lin Shanchu only look at him seriously. Do you also think Teacher Wu is like you as well? Huo Chaosheng immediately shook his head and exined, No, Teacher Wu is cute. No wonder Yun Wu was afraid of him. Being considered cute by such a perverted guy is not a good thing. Huo Chaosheng sighed and said helplessly, Teacher Wu is too timid. We were just ying a little game and she was scared away. What game? The kind of things Huo Chaosheng considered as games were definitely not the same kind that ordinary people thought of. The game he was talking about was probably a game of life and death. Its just How is everyone doing with their practice? Nan Mu suddenly walked in and interrupted Huo Chaosheng. Mr. Nan. The staff and teammates greeted Nan Mu one after another. Nan Mu gave them a nod in response. He walked straight to Huo Chaosheng and asked with a smile, Alec, can our trainees keep up? They are all doing well, Huo Chaosheng replied. Nan Mu nced at Lin Shanchu and asked, What about Lin Shanchu? Huo Chaoshengs eyes turned serious, Her performance is very stable. Stable? Nan Mu was stunned. On the day of the song selection, Lin Shanchu knew that the fans had already made an Ind in the Sky emoji pack based on her turning into an I dont want to live anymore, just die meme. How could her performance be stable? Was Xunzhous troublemaker brother actually a little normal in the head? Facing Nan Mus suspicious gaze, Lin Shanchu said with a bit of annoyance, What he means is that Im very unstable. Yes. Shanshan understands me after all, Huo Chaosheng nodded happily. Oh. Nan Mu cupped his hand over his lips and cleared his throat to suppress hisughter. Just as he was holding backughs, all of a sudden Nan Mu reacted abruptly, What did you call her? Shanshan, Huo Chaosheng reached out to grab Lin Shanchus shoulder. Lin Shanchu had been wary of Huo Chaosheng all along, so she managed to dodge the attack swiftly. A trace of displeasure shed through Huo Chaoshengs eyes, but he quickly regained hisposure, She is the daughter of Third Brothers master, and Third Brother treats her like a sister. So naturally, she is my little sister too. Dont you think so, Sister Shanshan? Huo Chaosheng tilted his head and smiled at Lin Shanchu. Before this, Lin Shanchu had only heard Huo Xunzhou call her Sister Shanshan. At that time, she didnt think of it as anything special. She just found it novel and surprising. Now that she was hearing another man call her that, Lin Shanchu felt an indescribable sense of disgust. Lin Shanchus eyes fell grave, I have a name, its Lin Shanchu. Okay, if youre not happy, I wont call you that way, after Huo Chaosheng finished speaking, he added, Lin Shanchu. Nan Mus expression became a little subtle. Everyone, lets hurry up and train. Time is running out. Lin Shanchu,e out with me for a moment. Nan Mu often had things to discuss with Lin Shanchu, so it didnt surprise anyone. Huo Chaosheng watched the two of them leave as he pondered. Then he leaned over to Ran Zhimo and asked, Was Lin Shanchus rtionship with Nan Mu always this good? President Nan is Lin Shanchus boss. So, hees to her whenever he needs anything, Ran Zhimo said truthfully. I see, Huo Chaosheng nodded. Outside the door. Nan Mu took Lin Shanchu to a less crowded area. He turned to look at Lin Shanchu and asked with a serious expression, Has Huo Chaosheng caused you any trouble? If Huo Chaoshengs constant pestering and mentioning that they were of the same kind could be considered trouble Then Huo Chaosheng would really be causing her trouble all the time. Lin Shanchu thought about it for a moment, then asked, Whats wrong? Huo Chaosheng is Xunzhous cousin. Hes not quite normal up here, Nan Mu pointed at his brain, Stay away from him. Cousin? He is Xunzhous aunts son. So that was the case. But why does his aunts son also have the surname Huo? Lin Shanchu then answered her question, Did he take on his mothers surname? Yes, Nan Mu exined, The Huo family isrge and wealthy, so its normal for them to take on their mothers surname.. They can get more inheritance that way Chapter 179 - 179: Because She Liked It Chapter 179: Because She Liked It Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As if realizing that he had said something he shouldnt have, Nan Mus expression changed slightly and he quickly changed the subject. Come on, you can do it! Once the third performance is over, youll be free! Before leaving, he reminded Lin Shanchu, If you need anything, you cane to me. If Im not in the training camp, you can look for Song Yiming. Alright. Lin Shanchu watched Nan Mu leave. From the conversation between Nan Mu and Huo Xunzhou earlier, she could tell that Nan Mu didnt know that Huo Chaosheng was Huo Xunzhous cousin. Naturally, he would not have known what kind of person Huo Chaosheng was. So, Nan Mus special reminder to stay away from Huo Chaosheng must have been Huo Xunzhous instruction. Huo Xunzhou seemed pretty angry yesterday. Yet, he still sent Nan Mu over to specifically warn her. Even though they both had the surname Huo, they had a huge difference in personality. On another note, this was already the second time someone had asked her to stay away from Huo Chaosheng. And she did want to stay away from Huo Chaosheng. But Huo Chaosheng had alreadytched onto her. Perhaps Huo Chaosheng had sensed Lin Shanchus disgust towards him because he finally acted normal for the next few days. He didnt seize every opportunity to say crazy things like Were of the same kind to Lin Shanchu. Instead, he focused on preparing for thepetition. On the day before thepetition, the production crew held a routine rehearsal. The rehearsal was just to familiarize themselves with the formation and stage in advance, so the trainees remained in their usual training clothes. Lin Shanchu stood on the stage with ck hair and red lips. No matter which angle you look from, she still looked like she had just been kidnapped and forced on stage. She had no rap vibe at all. After the rehearsal, the director said, Stylist, put more effort into Lin Shanchus styling. The entire inte knew that Lin Shanchus song selection had been messed up by her fans. But still, she couldnt afford to ck off on stage. At the very least, she had to let the audience feel the sincerity of both the production crew and herself. Lin Shanchu had been training very seriously recently, so her styling needed to match up as well. Her haters were always thinking of ways to bring Lin Shanchu down in all sorts of ways, so they had to be more cautious in this aspect. Following the directors instructions, the stylist called Lin Shanchu over that evening. Her teammates and some other trainees who just wanted to watch also followed. The stylist tried several different styles on her. After each styling, the stylist would consider everyones opinions. Is this good? Everyone responded: Beautiful. It looks good. I want this too! The stylist fell silent for a moment and said, What I meant was, do you think it gives off a rap vibe? Everyone fell silent. The stylist sighed and started over. When the new styling was done, everyone praised it again. But when the stylist asked if it had a rap vibe, there was another round of silence. The stylist was in despair. Lin Shanchu was really pretty. There was an indescribable sense of elegance about her. If it were any other performance, she would always look good no matter how she was styled. Seeing the stylist so worried, Lin Shanchu suggested, What if we cut off my hair? Ah? The stylist caressed Lin Shanchus shiny ck hair as her face filled with reluctance, I think.. Lin Shanchu continued, Should we dye it a different color? The stylist found dyeing to be more eptable. What color do you want to dye? the stylist asked her. Lin Shanchu turned to look at the blue costume beside her. Blue. The stylist was caught off guard by her answer. Cut it first and then dye it, Lin Shanchu straightened her posture, looking prepared. This color the stylist hesitated. Was the youngdy serious about this? Lin Shanchu turned around and smiled at the stylist, Thank you for your hard work. Id like to finish early and go to sleep. The stylist held the scissors but couldnt start. Her heart ached for Lin Shanchu. She had such beautiful hair. She gathered the ends of Lin Shanchus hair, Would this be short enough? Theres no difference. The stylist was quiet. Just go ahead and cut it as you wish. I trust you, Lin Shanchu closed her eyes. The stylist made up her mind and started cutting with swift movements. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. The stylist started to cut her long hair from the sides. Lin Shanchu had never cut her hair this short before. Back in her school days, there was a period when the short bob hairstyle was trendy. Many girls in Lin Shanchus ss cut their hair short. She was somewhat tempted to try it too. But when Lu Shiyuan learned she wanted to cut her hair short, he stopped her. She still remembered what Lu Shiyuan said. Shanshan looks the best with long hair. I like Shanshans long hair the most. Although the hair was on her head, her opinion of it didnt matter. Later on, there was a period when the princess cut was popr. Lu Shiyuan used simr words to stop her again. Thinking back to those days, it made her feel suffocated. Could you give me the princess cut? Lin Shanchu asked softly. The cut was half short half long. In Lu Shiyuans words, it was neither fish nor fowl. But she insisted on having that cut. Because she liked it. The stylist naturally couldnt object. After finishing the haircut, the stylist admired her work and was stunned by its beauty. It looks really good. The other trainees who were watching couldnt help but sigh in admiration. I finally know why its called a princess cut. Why? Because this hairstyle was tailor-made for this princess. Im so envious. Lin Shanchu really looks like a princess with this princess cut The princess cut was rtively niche. It required a certain demeanor to pull off. Before, Lin Shanchu didnt have bangs. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, giving her a look of pure elegance. She was extremely docile and had the temperament of a socialite. But with the princess cut, her nobility became even more pronounced and she seemed more lively. After the haircut, the stylist started dyeing Lin Shanchus hair. A few of the trainees at the side were also moring to get the same cut. However, since the stage styling had already been decided, they could only give up the idea for the time being. The dyeing process took a long time. Since thepetition was tomorrow, most of the trainees left early to rest. The stylist went to work on other trainees hair, leaving only Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu at the scene. Yun Wu had short hair which gave the stylist very limited options on styles, so she usually had her hair done on the morning of the recording. She sat beside Lin Shanchu cross-legged on a chair, staring at her head with anticipation. Lin Shanchu asked her, Arent you going to sleep? I want to see how your hair turns out. Lin Shanchu chuckled, You can find out tomorrow. Im not sleepy, Yun Wu shook her head while resting her chin in her hand. Lin Shanchu fell silent for a moment, Is there something vou want to tell me? Yun Wu was stunned and slowly sat up straight, You can tell? Do you really think Im that clueless? Lin Shanchu noticed that when Yun Wu was following her over, she had a troubled look on her face. Yun Wu cleared her throat and brought up the main point, How have you been getting along with Huo Chaosheng recently? Lin Shanchu calmly looked Yun Wu up and down, Its not bad.. Chapter 180 - 180: Simply Just Wanted to See Lin Shanchu Fail Chapter 180: Simply Just Wanted to See Lin Shanchu Fail Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Not bad what does that mean? Yun Wu asked. Lin Shanchu smirked, That means its tolerable. Yun Wus eyes slightly perked up in surprise. Huo Chaosheng is very professional and responsible. My teammates have all made significant progress. She was the only one who was still stable in her performance. Yun Wu started to rx, Thats good to hear. Lin Shanchu continued, Anyvvay, once tomorrows performance ends, I wont be interacting with him anymore Lin Shanchu noticed that Yun Wu was gradually easing up as she spoke. She paused for a moment and changed the topic, Yun Wu, what are you worried about? Yun Wu was caught off guard by Lin Shanchus question and was unable to react in time. She looked at Lin Shanchu in a daze. I she tried to exin, but as she met Lin Shanchus prating gaze, she fell silent. Yun Wu bit her lip, Can we talk about this after thepetition? Lin Shanchu had never seen Yun Wu like this. She looked a little fragile. She also looked a little helpless. Lin Shanchu smiled and held Yun Wus hand, Its okay. We dont have to talk about it. The reason people may find life meaningful would be because of the connections they have with the world. The connections that mostly came from friends, family, and loved ones. Through sharing happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, from daily meals to gatherings and partings, they perceive the significance of life and develop a sense of nostalgia for the world. Although so many people roam the world, not everyone could find life meaningful. And not everyone could share their joy and sorrow with others. Lin Shanchu herself was a good example. She struggled to find her meaning in life. Therefore, she felt that if she departed, she wanted to do it lightly and resolutely since she had nothing else to lose. However, Yun Wu believed that Lin Shanchu was angry at her because she had hidden something from her. Shanshan, Ill Yun Wu began. It really doesnt matter. Lin Shanchu interrupted her gently, Go back and rest. When youre well-rested, youll have the energy to perform well tomorrow. Lin Shanchu spoke to her in the same tone as usual. She was still as soft and as caring. However, her tone also gave off a sense that she didnt want to be questioned. So, Yun Wu had no choice but to leave. When Lin Shanchu was waiting backstage in her dreamy blue princess cut, many people almost didnt recognize her. Whos that? Thepetition is about to start. Why bring in a new guest at this time? Lin Shanchu heard the discussions and turned around. Dont you recognize me with a different hairstyle? She joked as she raised her hand to yfully flip her hair. The hairstylist did a good job. Dreamy blue was her favorite color. Suddenly, it felt like deja vu. Lin Shanchu was met with the familiar scene of the contestants swarming toward her again. Oh my god, this color is so beautiful! Princess cut looks amazing! I want to cut it too! Lin Shanchu could not move an inch and was forced to stop wherever she was as the contestants studied her hairstyle. As usual, the live broadcast would have started the moment the contestants entered the waiting area. Since Lin Shanchu was talking to the contestants with her head lowered, the cameras couldnt capture her face. Thements gradually increased. [Hey, did they invite a new female guest this time?] [Yeah, whos the one with blue hair?] The audience who joined the live stream earlier deliberately fooled the neers. [Yes! One of the guests couldnt make it so they invited a new guest over at thest minute.] [Although I havent seen her face yet, her side profile looks stunning!] [The new guests hairstyle looks fantastic!] The new audience was deceived for a while. Until Lin Shanchu turned around [Isnt that Lin Shanchu?] [F * ck! I really thought it was a new guest!] [Its hard to find someone who could pull off such a dreamy hair color with this hairstyle.] [Why does this rebellious color and hairstyle still look so obedient on Lin Shanchu? She still looks so elegant!] [Being beautiful allows her to be capricious. She can do whatever she wants with her hair! ] Lin Shanchus haters were very dedicated. As soon as she appeared, her haters would quickly arrive at the scene. Hatersmented: [Its not like there arent any female celebrities in the entertainment industry who havent dyed their hair blue before. Is there a need to praise her like this?] [If youck the talent, I guess you can make up for it with your hairstyle.] [Here to watch Lin Shanchu embarrass herself.] Lin Shanchus fans were toozy to argue with the haters. However, their repetitivements were starting to affect the regr viewers. The regr viewers werent pleased. [Why dont you name a few celebrities who look better with blue hair than Lin Shanchu?] [Its already the third performance and there are still people saying such things? Cant theye up with something new?] [Amongst the people in the audience who came to watch Lin Shanchu this episode, are there any of you who didnte to watch her embarrass herself?] [Maybe Lin Shanchus fans arent here to watch her embarrass herself?] Lin Shanchus fans replied: [Thanks for the invitation, but were also here to see Sister Rabbit embarrass herself.] Thisment made everyone in the live broadcast roomugh crazily. [Hahaha, Lin Shanchus fans are awesome.] [Lin Shanchu, the face of human injustice. Hahahahaha!] The director was pleasantly surprised to find that even though the episode had not officially started, the real-time viewers in the live broadcast already exceeded the number of viewers in the previous episodes. The most frequentment in thement section was watching Lin Shanchu embarrass herself. In just a few minutes, thement watching Lin Shanchu embarrass herself had been sent over a thousand times. At first nce, this phrase seemed malicious. But the director looked closely and realized that everyones watching Lin Shanchu embarrass herselfment was followed by Hahaha or something of a simr expression. Thus, it concluded that they had no ill intentions. The director fell into contemtion. After producing shows for so many years, it was the first time he encountered this situation. Could it be that he had been having the wrong approach in his directing all this while? Compared to witnessing a plot where the character had aplete makeover, did the audience prefer watching the character suffer? The director fell into self-doubt. Beside him was an assistant who had just graduated and was around the same age as the contestants. The director humbly asked the intern, Do young people not enjoy watching plots with character makeovers nowadays? The intern replied, Of course we do. Plots with character makeovers are exciting! I love watching them. Then why did the real-time viewers increase so much today? The intern pondered for a moment and said, Director, could there be a possibility that it wasnt about the plot? Maybe everyone simply just wanted to see Lin Shanchu fail? The director scratched the top of his head, Makes sense. Huo Chaosheng rushed backstage just before the official recording began. The audience in the live broadcast who had alle to see Huo Chaosheng lit up in excitement. The front stage started its official recording. Huo Chaosheng walked to the area where Lin Shanchu and her group stood. He gazed at the backs of a few girls for a moment before finally moving to the front to see their faces. When he saw Lin Shanchu, he was stunned for a while before he hesitantly called out her name. Lin Shanchu? Chapter 181 - 181: He… He l s Also My Third Brother Chapter 181: He He l s Also My Third Brother Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As Lin Shanchu focused on the big screen, she took a moment to nce at Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng waved his hand at the teammate beside Lin Shanchu, gesturing for her to give up her seat. His teammate nced at the camera and decided to give up her seat to Huo Chaosheng. This was a live broadcast, and yet, Huo Chaosheng still dared to ask someone to give up the seat beside Lin Shanchu in front of the cameras. Wasnt he afraid of sparking rumors? After Huo Chaosheng sat down, he frowned and looked at Lin Shanchus hair with a judgemental expression. Whats going on with your hair? Lin Shanchu retorted, What do you mean, Whats going on with your hair? To her, Huo Chaoshengs words seemed to imply that she shouldnt have cut or dyed her hair Since when did he have a say in her hair choices? Huo Chaosheng quickly realized the implication of his words and chuckled, The color is unique. Lin Shanchu ignored him. In the summertime, it was easy to feel drowsy. To prevent the audience from growing sleepy, Lin Shanchus stage was arranged to be the third-tost. As expected, it had a significant effect. As soon as Lin Shanchus group went on stage, the audience in the room and the live-stream viewers both became lively. Comment section: [Ive waited so long in the live chat just to watch this segment.] [Im ready, bring it on!] [I dont know why, but seeing Lin Shanchu standing on stage with a serious expression makes me want tough.] [+10086] During the performance, the audience cheered whenever it was Huo Chaosheng and Ran Zhimos part. But when it came to Lin Shanchus part, the audience seemed to be holding back theirughter. Especially during the interactive segments in between. Lin Shanchu simply couldnt be bothered with Huo Chaosheng. Whenever she had to interact with him, she was expressionless and impatient. Comment section: [Lin Shanchu and Alec seem to have a grudge against each other.] [Werent the two of them chatting andughing backstage just now?] [Could it be that Lin Shanchu has a grudge against rappers? Hahahaha.] It wasnt easy for Lin Shanchu tost until the end of the performance. She heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the lights came on. She immediately noticed Huo Xunzhou sitting in his designated seat in the auditorium not far away. Huo Xunzhous gaze was fixed on the stage. However, Lin Shanchu was too far away to tell if he was looking at her. Is Third Brother looking at you or me? Huo Chaosheng covered his microphone and whispered beside her. Why are you asking me? Ask him yourself. Lin Shanchu replied impatiently, ignoring Huo Chaoshengs question. Huo Chaosheng lowered his head and thought for two seconds before beckoning for the host. It seems that Alec is eager to speak. Lets pass the microphone to him, Yu wemxm nanaea me micropnone co nuoaosneng. Huo Chaosheng took the microphone. Third brother, are you looking at Behave yourself. Huo Chaoseng was interrupted by a deep and maic voice. Lin Shanchu looked in the direction of the voice and noticed that Huo Xunzhou had also picked up a microphone at some point. Okay. Huo Chaosheng replied obediently and returned the microphone to the host. Comment section: [Did Alec just call Huo Xunzhou Third Brother?] [What the f * ck! Mr. Huo and Alec are brothers?] [Actual brothers?] [Why does Alec listen to Mr. Huo so obediently?] [These two brothers are both sessful. Whats the story behind the Huo family?] [I heard that Alecs family is wealthy, but isnt Mr. Huos background pretty ordinary?] [I seem to smell a hint of the secret hiding behind this wealthy family] The host immediately took control of the scene and started giving out cues. However, the audience was no longer interested in the show and started gossiping about Huo Xunzhous background. After returning the microphone, Huo Chaosheng put his hands behind his back and stood upright like a well-behaved elementary school student. Lin Shanchu was surprised. Had Huo Chaosheng always been listening to Huo Xunzhous instructions so obediently like this? There was no doubt that Lin Shanchu wasnt the audiences favorite for the third performance round. The audiences favorite this round was finally awarded to An Youyun. After the recording ended, An Youyun returned backstage and walked past Lin Shanchu with a smile amidst a chorus of praises. Lin Shanchu, dont be discouraged by one mistake. Youll still have plenty of chances, An Youyun raised her chin as she smiled, revealing her sweet dimples. Although An Youyun had a discrepancy between her appearance and her true thoughts, Lin Shanchu still found her dimples adorable. Just like before, Lin Shanchu poked her dimples. An Youyun was stunned. Sister, everyone knows it wasnt a mistake this time. I just cant perform well, Lin Shanchu imitated An Youyuns tone, smiled sweetly, and continued, In life, we should live more at ease. Before An Youyun could react, Lin Shanchu walked away from her. An Youyun looked up and caught sight of Huo Chaosheng trailing behind Lin Shanchu. AlecAn Youyun smiled shyly. Huo Chaoseng clicked his tongue, She just called out your insincerity. Didnt you get that? Yet, you can still stand there and smile. An Youyuns smile froze on his face. Huo Chaoseng impatiently waved her away, Move aside, dont block the way. Sure enough, he felt that only people of his kind were intelligent. The others were all fools. An Youyun retreated to the side and watched Huo Chaosheng leave. Why?! Why didnt Alec mind Lin Shanchus poor performance this time? She was the audiences favorite this round, yet Alec did not even bother to look at her. Whats so special about Lin Shanchu?! The moment the recording ended, Yun Wu went to the washroom. Now, she was waiting for Lin Shanchu by the backstage exit. Shanshan. The moment Yun Wu noticed that Huo Chaosheng was following Lin Shanchu, her expression turned serious. Teacher Wu, Huo Chaosheng called out with a smile. Yun Wu responded, You did well. After that, Huo Chaosheng stopped talking to Yun Wu. Lin Shanchu realized that Huo Chaoshengs attitude towards Yun Wu had be much colder. He wasnt as enthusiastic as he was on the first day. Yun Wu seemed to have noticed this as well and her attitude towards Huo Chaosheng improved a little. Lin Shanchu had heavy makeup on today. So, she nned to go to the dormitory to remove her makeup before going to the cafeteria. Huo Chaosheng continued to trail behind her. Lin Shanchu turned to look at him, Were going back to the dormitory. Are you sure you want to keep following us? I can wait for you at the entrance, Huo Chaosheng said seriously. A pervert will always be a pervert, never minding their own business. A sudden male voice attracted everyones attention. At the other end of the corridor, Li MO can be seen pushing Huo Xunzhou over. Lin Shanchu was slightly stunned. She turned to look at Yun Wu and said, Ah Wii? Yun Wu was about to exin to Lin Shanchu when Huo Chaosheng beat her to it. Dont you know? Third Brother Shut up. Huo Xunzhous tone was neither light nor heavy, but there was an indescribable sharpness in it. Huo Chaosheng raised an eyebrow and shut up obediently. Yun Wu cleared her throat and pointed to Huo Xunzhou, saying, He Hes also my third brother. Lin Shanchu couldnt digest the news, Are the three of you from the same family? Chapter 182 - 182: She Had Nothing to Do With Huo Xunzhou At All Chapter 182: She Had Nothing to Do With Huo Xunzhou At All Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu was influenced by the original plot of the book and thought that Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu were in a romantic rtionship. After being nart of the production crew for more than two months. Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu had met several times but nevermunicated with each other. Lin Shanchu thought it was her awakening that produced the butterfly effect, which changed everyones plot. However, she didnt expect it to turn out like this. Instead of Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu being in a romantic rtionship, they were rtives instead. Now that she thought about it, there was probably something else in their romantic rtionship in the original book too. Yun Wu quickly denied, No, no Im not rted to the Huo family. Huo Xunzhou spoke in a deep voice, Yun Wus father is my uncle. I see Lin Shanchu thought to herself as she slowly understood the situation. Yun Wu was Huo Xunzhous cousin from her fathers side. Huo Chaozheng was also Huo Xunzhous cousin from his fathers side. The rtionship between these main characters were extraordinary. There had been rumors online iming that Huo Xunzhou was an orphan. But in the original book, it was mentioned that Huo Xunzhou was rted to the prominent Huo family in Kyoto. Looking at it now, it seemed that Huo Xunzhou was indeed rted to the Huo family. Yun Wu came from a prestigious family, meaning Huo Xunzhous mother was also from a prestigious family. With both parentsing from prestigious backgrounds, it was strange that Huo Xunzhou grew up outside the family since he was young. It was said that if the wealth of the family runs deeper than water, they must have some undisclosed secret hidden within. Huo Xunzhou pretending to be disabled must have something to do with the Huo family. I really couldnt tell, Lin Shanchu smiled, but itcked warmth. Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu were so closely rted, yet Lin Shanchu had never seen them speak a word to each other for the past two months. It must have been intentional. 0-0ur Yun Wu stuttered as she exined, Our rtionship is just an ordinary one. Ah Wu,e with me. I have something to tell you. Huo Xunzhou was then pushed away by Li MO without bothering to exin anything to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu nced at his departing figure, then continued walking without looking back. She had nothing to be angry about. She and Huo Xunzhou were not in the type of rtionship where they constantly needed to exin and rify their actions. In fact, she had nothing to do with Huo Xunzhou at all. They always went their separate ways and did their things. Without interfering with each other. Howe you dont know about Yun Wus rtionship with Third Brother? Arent you close with him? Huo Chaozheng caught up with her, persistently asking non -stop. Lin Shanchu was so annoyed by his constant questioning, she quickly entered the dormitory and shut the door. Huo Chaosheng almost had his nose hit by the door. He flinched for a second and took half a step back. The smile on his face gradually faded and he turned around and left. Lin Shanchu was in a hurry to eat, so it only took her half an hour to remove her makeup and finish showering. Huo Chaosheng didnt wait at the door for her like he said he would. When Lin Shanchu came out of the dormitory, Huo Chaosheng was nowhere to be found. Yun Wu came back just in time. After a quick shower, she went to the canteen to have dinner with Lin Shanchu. Yun Wu saw Lin Shanchu looking around and asked, What are you looking at? I dont see Huo Chaosheng, Huo Chaosheng had stuck onto her like a ster for the past few days and now he was gone. He left, Yun Wus tone sounded cheerful and her appetite seemed better than usual. Lin Shanchu was a little surprised, Why did he suddenly leave? Hes popr, so hes busy. Oh. Huo Chaosheng was indeed very popr, so it was only natural for him to be busy. However, Lin Shanchu knew Huo Chaoshengs sudden departure was not because he was busy. Huo Chaosheng did things as he pleased. How could he be as busy as the other employees in the entertainment industry who only focused on working all day? A few days ago, he said he felt that she and him were of the same kind, so he had been sticking to her ever since. Today, he suddenly left without saying a word. He must have gotten bored of her. As for why he suddenly felt bored.. She had no way of knowing. The day after the performance was always a day off for the trainees. In the evening, the production crew arranged a barbecue and bonfire party for everyone in the training camp. The production crew only provided a barbecue grill and ingredients. So, the trainees had to cook for themselves. The girls loved such lively group activities. Even Yun Wu joined in the fun. After fooling around with the others for a while, Yun Wu realized that Lin Shanchu wasnt there. She looked around and found Lin Shanchu sitting among the ingredients, poking the vegetables with the skewer sticks. Shanshan, why are you here alone? Its too noisy over there. I need to think in silence. Lin Shanchu replied without raising her head. If her loyal fans were to be trusted, she would be eliminated two days after the announcement. Once she was eliminated, she could return to the Lu Corporation and continue dealing with Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai. She wondered how those two were doing now. Xia Jinmeng would definitely stay until the finals. So, she might have to wait a little longer if she wanted to break off the engagement with Lu Shiyuan. Then Ill stay here with you, Yun Wu brought a chair over and sat beside her. No need, Lin Shanchu refused sharply. Yun Wu was slightly taken aback, Then, do you want me to leave? Mhm. Lin Shanchu didnt raise her head the entire time. Yun Wu sat and waited for a moment. Once she confirmed that Lin Shanchu didnt mean to look at her or sneak to her. she stood with a nuzzled expression on her face. She could feel that Lin Shanchus attitude towards her had been a little cold recently. Especially these two days. Regarding the information of Huo Xunzhou being my third brother, I really didnt mean to hide it from you, Yun Wu thought that Lin Shanchu was angry about this. Lin Shanchu ced the skewer in her hand, which had a sheet of dried beancurd on it, aside, I know. Yun Wu wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Lin Shanchu. Im not angry about this. Lin Shanchu finally looked up, her expression gentle and indifferent. Then you Yun Wu wanted to ask her what was wrong, but she didnt know how to start. Lin Shanchu looked at her with affectionate eyes, Once we part ways, we should take care of ourselves. Its too early for that, Yun Wu was an honest child. She had not been using her phone since she joined the program, so she did not know what Lin Shanchus fans were up to. She still thought that Lin Shanchu would stay until the finals. The show had some sponsors who werepanies producing alcoholic beverages. Everyone ate and drank so much to the point where all of them were tipsy by the time of the bonfire party. Many of the girls had poor alcohol tolerance and had their faces flushed red. Under the influence of alcohol, people tend to open up more easily. So, the girls were jumping through all sorts of topics before they finallynded on their wishes. My wish is to make it to the finals. My wish is to be able tond another job after getting eliminated. My wish is for my parents to look at me differently! I wish to sleep for three days and three nights without anyone waking me up Sitting around the bonfire, they took turns sharing their wishes. Finally, everyones eyes fell on Lin Shanchu. Someone asked, Lin Shanchu, what is your wish? Her wish? Lin Shanchu thought hard about it. As she thought about it, she startedughing. Lin Shanchu, why are youughing? I remembered one of my old wishes, Lin Shanchu replied. That wish was so ridiculous. She couldnt help butugh.. Chapter 184 - 184: Stepping Stones Chapter 184: Stepping Stones Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The hashtag #LinShanchuWasEliminated exploded the inte. The hashtag with her name was ranked first on the list, followed by the tag hot. Fans and curiousizens from all walks of life gathered to watch the spectacle. [Is this hot search for real?] [The production crew and Lin Shanchus fans were all ruthless!] [I knew this woman would be eliminated eventually.] [Isnt it normal for people who had no talent to be eliminated? Whats there to be surprised about?] [Even now, there are still people saying that Lin Shanchu isnt good enough. She managed to dominate the trending search bar when she joined and left the program, was this still not good enough?] [People who had a decent sense of understanding would know that Lin Shanchu has earned enough poprity and is now ready to leave the show.] [Not to mention the number of fans Lin Shanchu has gained in the past two months was absurd. Have you evere across a fanbase in the entire entertainment industry that is as united and ruthless as Lin Shanchus fans? Whether Lin Shanchu could attract fans or the sheer power her fans had, which female celebrity in the same generation couldpare? Dont you feel a sense of danger? And you still have time to mock her?] Even though the recording of My Stage was not over yet, someone had already posted a video clip of Lin Shanchus farewell speech online. In the video, Lin Shanchu was standing amongst the crowd. She was wearing the same uniform as all the other contestants around her, yet she still stood out. Everyone couldnt take their eyes off her. She held the microphone and her clear eyes conveyed a profound sincerity. His tone was as gentle as usual. I wish that everyone would be able to see the light and reach their dreams to distant ces. Beneath her words of well-wishes was a tinge of envy she tried hard to conceal. But in the close-up, Lin Shanchu was only seen smiling as she exited the scene, just like he had done countless times before. Then, the camera panned toward the other contestants. Many of them had red eyes, tears streaming down their faces. Then, the video came to an end. A popr inte celebrity reposted this video andmented: [Sincere wishes never fail to tug on our heartstrings.] The fans of that celebrity immediately flooded thements section. [This video is so touching!] [Lin Shanchu has so many haters! I only said I felt she was sincere and they started harassing me in my private messages.] [I noticed many people saying that Lin Shanchu was pretentious and thought that I was the only one who thought that she was genuinely sincere. Turns out, it wasnt just me.] [Although I used to think Lin Shanchu was a little crazy when she did things, I still felt she was real.] For the entire day, Lin Shanchu remained at the top of the trending search list. Some people even noticed that this video gained more views than the episode where Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai went on-site to visit Lin Shanchu. Theizens joked: Ultimately, it was Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai who had lost. Ims also enaecl up pusmng DOtn or tnem on tne trending list. Tang Qidai was furious when she saw the trending search list. Lin Shanchu is really something! She could still steal the limelight away even after being eliminated! Lin Shanchu may have stolen the limelight, but arent there still a lot of people mocking her? Kong Suyiforted her, Daidai, dont be upset over this kind of person. Its not worth it. Tang Qidai couldnt control her anger, Go online and take a look yourself. That b * tch is defaming Brother Shiyuan and me just to get in the limelight! Shes treating us like stepping stones! I dont agree with you, Daidai. Kong Suyi smiled, Your publicity and hers are currently tied together. So, wouldnt her poprity be your poprity as well? Kong Suyis words reminded Tang Qidai. Thats right. Lin Shanchus poprity was no longer what it used to be. As long as Lin Shanchu was still engaged to Brother Shiyuan, their fates would be tied together. As a result, Lin Shanchus poprity would inevitably intertwine with hers. If she wasnt getting any benefits from it, Lin Shanchu wouldnt be getting it either! Tang Qidai sneered as she touched up her makeup in a mirror before standing up. Im going down there. When Lin Shanchu was packing her luggage in the dormitory, Yun Wu offered to help her. She imed that she wanted to help her, but in reality, she was trying to stall for time. Yun Wu was slowly and leisurely helping Lin Shanchu collect her things. However, Lin Shanchu didnt have much luggage, to begin with. So, no matter how much Yun Wu dawdled, she would be done packing fairly quickly. Wen Tongtong was watching from the side as she asked, Are you leaving Shell leave after we eat. Yun Wu replied as she was hauling Lin Shanchus luggage toward her. Im not eating. Im bored of the cafeteria food. Lin Shanchu extended her hand toward Yun Wu and said politely, Allow me? Yun Wu reluctantly handed her the suitcase. Lin Shanchu dragged her own suitcase out. An Youyun was standing at the door with a smile, Sister, youre leaving so soon? I wont send you off then. I still have to prepare for tomorrows recording. She thought she would bepeting against Lin Shanchu for first ce during the finals. But she didnt expect Lin Shanchu to be this disappointing and leave before the finals. Good luck, Lin Shanchu patted An Youyuns shoulder. Just as An Youyun was beginning to feel confused, Lin Shanchu continued, Otherwise, you wont even be able to keep fourth ce. You An Youyun was furious. Lin Shanchu had already been eliminated, yet she still dared to mock her so arrogantly. But since so many people are present, An Youyun did not dare to act as crazily as Lin Shanchu. An Youyun quickly calmed down and smiled, Ill ept your good wishes. Fourth ce is pretty good. At least Im better than those who cant even make it to the debut position. There were still many students like Lin Shanchu who were preparing to leave after being eliminated. Although An Youyuns words were not wrong, they still angered them. The moment she ended her sentence, she felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a little strange. An Youyun realized and tried to say a few words to remedy the situation, but no one paid any attention to her. The students just carried their suitcases and followed Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu, lets go. Once we leave, were nning to have a meal together. Do you want to join? Lin Shanchu declined, I have something to do, so I cant go. Can we add each other on WeChatter when we have our phones? Id also like to add you Lin Shanchu could feel the words of rejection at the tip of her tongue, but she decided not to say them, Alright. The director was waiting in the lobby to distribute their phones. How about I add everyone to a group chat? After joining the group, you can add each other as friends. Lin Shanchu, let me add you to the group chat. Lin Shanchu felt that it was a good idea to join the group. It would save her the trouble. She wouldnt have to add them one by one. After joining the group chat, Lin Shanchu left the training camp. She spotted Nan Mus car at the entrance of the training camp. Nan Mu came over to help Lin Shanchu carry her luggage. Lin Shanchu hid the suitcase behind her, What do you think youre doing? Did Nan Mu regret eliminating her? Nan Mu was stunned, Im picking you up to go to thepany. Im your boss, have you forgotten? Oh, she really did almost forget about that. To think that she had been wasting all her time thinking about where to go first once she left the training camp. After getting in the car, Nan Mu told Lin Shanchu, Ive gotten you a manager and an assistant, and prepared a house for you. You can take a look and see if youre satisfied. If youre not, do let me know. Even the house was prepared for her? Thank you, President Nan, Lin Shanchu thanked him sincerely. Nan Mu looked at her with a hesitant expression, then waved his hand, Youre wee. This is what thepany should be doing for you.. Chapter 185 - 185: If l i d Written It, You Wouldn’t Have Chosen Me Chapter 185: If l i d Written It, You Wouldnt Have Chosen Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu followed Nan Mu to Tianzhou Media. From a distance, Lin Shanchu spotted two individuals waiting at the entrance. It was a man and a woman, but their faces were unclear. As they got closer, Lin Shanchu recognized the man as Qi Cheng, Jing Mings former manager. Qi Cheng? Miss Lin. Qi Cheng bowed slightly toward her. Nan Mu approached them and said, Since you guys know each other, Im not required to introduce you two again. Qi Cheng is the manager you found for me? Lin Shanchu asked. Yeap. Nan Mu asked for her opinion, What do you think? Lin Shanchu turned to look at Qi Cheng, Why did you suddenly decide to be a manager again? Qi Cheng was actually a very capable manager. However, after Jing Mings incident, he basically withdrew from the entertainment industry and stopped representing artists. One cannot drift aimlessly forever. One has to move forward eventually, Qi Cheng was smiling but there was a hint of sadness in his tone. The incident that happened to Jing Ming weighed heavily on his heart. People often advise to focus on the future. But no one mentions how difficult it is to let go of the past. Lin Shanchu reached out her hand to Qi Cheng, Its an honor to work with you. Qi Cheng was still struggling toe to terms with Jing Mings death. If it werent for this, he wouldnt have shown up at Tianzhou Media. Qi Cheng also wants to settle the score with Lu Shiyuan, just like Lin Shanchu. This would make it easier for her to handle things in the future. After talking to Qi Cheng, Lin Shanchu turned to look at the girl standing beside them. The girl had a natural look. She had no makeup on and wore a pair of ck-framed sses. Although she appeared quite young, she held a serious demeanor. She took the initiative to introduce herself, Hello, Miss Lin. My name is He Xiang. I was also the one who got this assistant for you, Nan Mu added. Nan Mu noticed that Lin Shanchu kept staring at He Xiang and asked, Whats wrong? He Kiang? Lin Shanchu approached her, Have I seen you somewhere before? He Xiang nervously bit her lip, I used to be Tang Qidais assistant. Nan Mu frowned upon hearing this, Why didnt you include that in your resume? Nan Mu saw that He Xiang was honest and reliable, so he wanted to reserve her as Lin Shanchus assistant. If he had known that He Xiang used to be Tang Qidais assistant, he wouldnt have kept her. If I had written it, you wouldnt have chosen me, He Xiang whispered. And do you think we will now that we know Nan Mu sneered. Lin Shanchu nced at Nan Mu, signaling him to stop talking. Nan Mu was so shocked by Lin Shanchus nce that he instinctively shut up. The moment he realized how embarrassing he looked, he realized that everyones attention wasnt on him in the first ce. So, he could only rub his nose awkwardly and pretend that nothing had happened. Why did you leave Tang Qidai? Lin Shanchu asked He Xiang. He Xiang pushed her bangs aside, revealing a scar about the length of a thumb. Then, she pulled down her shirt cor to reveal her shoulders and rolled up her sleeves. These are all from Tang Qidais beatings. The scars stered all over her body appeared rtively fresh as if they were recent injuries. Nan Mu and Qi Cheng had been averting their eyes as she partially undressed to avoid arousing any suspicion towards the situation. But upon hearing what she said, they turned their heads in disbelief. Only Lin Shanchu remained calm. After learning about Tang Qidais childhood from Xia Jinmeng, she already had a good understanding of Tang Qidais character. A person who could cruelly kill small animals at the age of five and calmly cover up the evidence without so much as batting an eyelid would naturally do such things when they grew up. Just like how she did earlier, Lin Shanchu extended her hand to He Xiang. Its a pleasure working with you. He Xiang hesitated for two seconds before she finally smiled and reached out to shake her hand, Thank you, Miss Lin. After Tang Qidai beat her that night, she sent He Xiang to a private hospital and paid her off before sending her back to her hometown. After recovering from her injuries, she proceeded to return to her hometown. However, she was not willing to ept her fate. How was it that Tang Qidai, whomitted a crime, was still standing proudly under the spotlight, while she, the victim, was forced to hide? How was this possible? After returning to Xu City, she tried to go back to her previous line of work, but no artist was willing to take her on. She knew that Tang Qidai must be behind this. So, He Xiang joined Tianzhou Media with an open-minded attitude. Tianzhou Media had no prior business dealings with the Lu Corporation, so Tang Qidai wouldnt be able to get her hands on her here. She intentionally concealed her work experience with Tang Qidai and presented herself as a young, honest girl, which led to her being retained. What she didnt expect was to be assigned as Lin Shanchus assistant and recognized by her immediately. If Lin Shanchu didnt want her, she would have no choice but to return to her hometown. Now that Lin Shanchu chose to let her stay, Nan Mu couldnt say much either. Everyone was busy, so they didnt go out to eat. They delivered takeout to the office and everyone had their meals while chatting. After dinner, Nan Mu personally escorted Lin Shanchu to the house he had arranged for her in advance. From now on, you canmunicate with your manager and assistant about your uing schedules. Ill take my leave now. If anything, just call. Nan Mu had barely even entered the door and he was already about to leave. Thank you. Its not for free. Nan Mu shot her the smile of a sly businessman and turned around to run. He bolted so quickly that he disappeared in the blink of an eye. He was worried that he would get beaten up if he ran any slower. Sister Lin, Ive already tidied up the house. Look He Xiangs voice came from behind. Nan Mu had arranged for her toe and tidy up the house a few days ago, so most of the daily necessities had already been bought. The only thing she had left to buy was Lin Shanchus personal items. Ill look at itter, Lin Shanchu wasnt in the mood to talk to He Xiang about this. She walked up to Qi Cheng and asked, I want to take a look at my schedule. Qi Cheng paused for a moment, then took out his phone with aplicated expression and handed it over to Lin Shanchu, showing her the schedule. Really? Theres so many Lin Shanchu muttered to herself. She had only read one page of it and could already feel her fists clenching onto the phone harder and harder. That greedy profiteer! He had arranged over ten endorsements for her in one day. Advertisement gigs, interviews All of them were back to back from each other. He even nned for her to be eating and sleeping in the car! No wonder Nan Mu agreed so easily when she said she wanted to be eliminated from My Stage. It turns out he was just waiting for her here! Isnt Huo Xunzhou controlling him at all? Qi Cheng watched as Lin Shanchus grip on his phone tightened and he said, cautiously, Miss Lin The phone is innocent Lin Shanchu stuffed the phone back into Qi Chengs hands and took out her own phone to call Nan Mu. Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavable That cunning jerk dares to make a move but doesnt dare to face the consequences! He doesnt even answer the phone! Meanwhile on Nan Mus side Nan Mu quickly left the neighborhood and fled the scene. When he returned from Tianzhou Media, Huo Xunzhou was already waiting for him in his office. You werete. I just came from sending Lin Shanchu off. Nan Mu tossed his car keys on the desk and sat downzily. Huo Xunzhou continued to flip through the documents in hand as if he hadnt heard anything. Seeing that Huo Xunzhou didnt react, Nan Mu asked curiously, Did you guys quarrel again? Chapter 186 - 186: Can ‘t Be This Lucky All The Time Chapter 186: Can t Be This Lucky All The Time Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion This time, Huo Xunzhou finally paid attention to him. However, he was only interested in asking for information and did not mention Lin Shanchu. Have you read this info about Jiang Ziyu? Huo Xunzhou raised the document in his hand. Nan Mu checked the details. The contents of the document were about Jiang Ziyus interpersonal rtionships. Since Huo Xunzhou wasnt rushing him for it, Nan Mu didnt personally check the documents. He instructed someone else to check and ced them here, waiting to be handed over to Huo Xunzhou once he had the time. No? Nan Mu noticed Huo Xunzhous serious expression and asked, Is there a problem with it? Is this the only document? Huo Xunzhou asked again. Yes, Jiang Ziyu wasnt a VIP or anything, so Nan Mu didnt bother keeping a copy. Huo Xunzhou didnt say anything else. His scanning eyes stopped at a certain line on the document. Nan Mu stood up and walked over curiously. Let me take a look. Huo Xunzhou immediately closed the file. Because of this, Nan Mu didnt manage to notice the sentence Old acquaintance of Tang Qidai written in the file. I have something else to do, so Ill take my leave, Huo Xunzhou gathered all the documents and got up to leave. Compared to whatever information Huo Xunzhou asked for, Nan Mu was still more interested in Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus affairs. He spoke toward Huo Xunzhous back, Lin Shanchu has been eliminated, dont you dont care about her? Seeing that Huo Xunzhou was still unfazed, Nan Mu shouted, Ive lined up a bunch of endorsements for her as soon as she got out. Dont you feel bad for Huo Xunzhou finally stopped. As long as youve thought it through. He didnt look back, but there seemed to be a hint ofughter in his voice. Nan Mu was baffled. He was talking to Huo Xunzhou about Lin Shanchu. How could the only thing Huo Xunzhou ask him to do was think it through? What was there to think about? The house Nan Mu arranged for Lin Shanchu was in a good location. The transport was convenient and they had all the necessary amenities nearby. Lin Shanchu was quite low maintenance, so she went to the supermarket to grab some essentials and returned home. In the meantime, He Xiang demonstrated her diligence by taking the initiative to organize Lin Shanchus belongings before Lin Shanchu could attend to them herself. So when Lin Shanchu returned, she was more than happy to enjoy her leisure time looking around the house. Nan Mu wasnt stingy with his money. But then again, Nan Mu had earned quite a bit from the poprity she gained and the endorsements she brought to My Stage. Compared to that, this was nothing. After looking around the whole house, Lin Shanchu entered the walk-in closet. The walk-in closet was packed. All kinds of high-end, branded clothing lined the racks, all of them were of thetest styles of the season. There were even some limited edition ones. Sister Lin, Ive already tidied up that area. What do you want to eat for dinner? He Xiangs voice sounded from the door. Where did all these clothese from? Lin Shanchu asked her. They were all sent over by their respective brands. Lin Shanchu was stunned, This many? She Imew that some brands were more proactive in offering their products to artists they wanted to work with. Still, this was too much. He Xiang deliberated and said, Sister Lin, maybe you dont know but youre really popr now. Im really popr? Lin Shanchu blinked. She knew she had gained some poprity while being in My Stage. But she never felt that she was at a point of being really popr. He Xiang thought for a moment and said, Ive already received many calls today from people who wanted to discuss coboration with you There was no such thing as secrets in this industry. News tends to spread rapidly. Getting ahold of Lin Shanchus contact information wasnt easy, but getting ahold of her managers and assistants contacts was much easier. Even though the assistants werent in charge of Lin Shanchus work affairs, these people would take advantage of every opportunity and not miss a chance. Lin Shanchu let out an Ah in exmation and suddenly realized, I guess I am somewhat popr. He Xiang was amused by her appearance, Brother Qi said that you can choose the clothes you like and wear them. We will return those that you dont like. Does that mean I have to discuss coboration with them if I wear their clothes? Lin Shanchu had a few clothes that she was eyeing. I think so. Youll have to ask Brother Qi about that. Got it. As He Xiang turned to leave, she suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit to Lin Shanchu. Sister Lin, what do you want to have for dinner? Anything is fine. He Xiang felt a little hesitant and wanted to ask again. But Lin Shanchu seemed indifferent and had already started picking out her clothes for tomorrow. It was six in the morning. Lin Shanchu woke up on time. After washing up anding out of the bedroom, she bumped into He Xiang, who was also up early. Good morning, Sister Lin. Lin Shanchu had a natural kind of beauty. Even without makeup and with her dreamy blue princess cut, her beauty wasnt affected at all. He Xiang looked at Lin Shan Chu with astonishment. She was too beautiful. She looked so good even without makeup! Why are you up so early? Lin Shanchu put on a baseball cap and prepared to go downstairs for a run. Im going to make breakfast. Lin Shanchu paused upon hearing this and smiled at He Xiang, When you were Tang Qidais assistant, did you also wake up early to make breakfast every He Xiangs face turned pale at the mention of Tang Qidais name. Yes. Tang Qidai believed that takeout was unhealthy, so no matter howte they worked the night before, she would always have He Xiang get up early the next morning to make breakfast. He Xiang didnt even need to tell her about this and Lin Shanchu could already guess. When things get busy, you dont need to wake up early to make breakfast anymore, Lin Shanchu didnt press further and left her with this statement before heading out. The neighborhood had a nice environment. There was also an artificialke. Lin Shanchu wasnt sure if her body could handle other exercises, so she just jogged around theke. She ran around theke, over and over again, until she couldnt run anymore. She copsed on a bench by theke to rest. The temporaryck of blood supply to her brain from running made Lin Shanchu feel a little dizzy. She looked up at the clear sky and fell into a momentary daze. She was finally living the unrestrained life that she had been dreaming of for a long time. All she needed to do now was get out of Lu Shiyuans shadow, then she could live apletely free life. Miss Lin. Qi Chengs voice brought her back to reality. Lin Shanchu slowly straightened up and saw Qi Cheng, who had been standing there for who knows how long. Lin Shanchu stared at him for a while before calling, Brother Qi? Qi Cheng was elder and a senior in the industry, so it was only right to address him as Brother Qi. Qi Cheng forced a smile and said, Jing Ming used to call me that too. The rxed expression on Lin Shanchus face suddenly turned serious, Im sorry. Her apology seemed abrupt and random, but Qi Cheng understood she was referring to the sudden disappearance of evidence at the police station. Dont me yourself for that, Qi Cheng sat down beside her, speaking through gritted teeth, Lu Shiyuan cant be this lucky all the time. Qi Cheng still didnt know that the evidence was erased because of Lu Shiyuans main characters halo. He thought that everything was just a coincidence. He thought that Lu Shiyuan was lucky. But in fact, Lu Shiyuans luck might always be this good. After a long silence, Lin Shanchu still didnt say anything. Finally, she stood up and said, Lets go.. Chapter 187 - 187: There Is No Other Way Between Us Chapter 187: There Is No Other Way Between Us Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiangs skills are pretty good. The breakfast looked good and was delicious. Even Qi Cheng could not help but praise her. Qi Cheng took out Lin Shanchus itinerary for the day while having his meal. Brother Qi, theres no need to look at it. Huh? Qi Cheng was puzzled as he looked at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu said calmly, Were not going to follow the itinerary. Lets go to Lu Corporation after we finish eating. Then, this Qi Cheng waved the itinerary in his hand. Lin Shanchu replied, Forget it. Qi Cheng was dumbfounded. Was she not a little arrogant? Today was Monday. Lu Shiyuan had the habit of holding meetings on Monday mornings. Lin Shanchu arrived at the venue on time. This week Just when Lu Shiyuan opened his mouth, he noticed everyone was looking at the door. He turned around and saw Lin Shanchu walking in after pushing the door. Lin Shanchu was dressed in a slim-fit ck dress with her curvy body perfectly outlined. She looked hot and cool after adding a silver chain as an essory. In addition, she had a dreamy blue princess cut. Even if she did not show any expression, she still looked defiant. It was still the same face and the same eyebrows, but she seemed to have been a changed woman, making Lu Shiyuan feel an extreme unfamiliarity. Lu Shiyuan frowned as he stared at Lin Shanchus dreamy blue princess cut. What are you doing here? For the meeting. Lin Shanchu ordered Zhou Yan who was recording and sitting beside her. Get me a chair. Zhou Yan looked up at Lu Shiyuan, trying to ask for his opinion. Lu Shiyuan did not say a word. Lin Shanchu would not leave even if he refused her. Lin Shanchu was getting more and more impudent. She would not listen to him at all. Zhou Yan knew that Lu Shiyuans silence was acquiescence, so he got up to get a chair for Lin Shanchu. After Zhou Yan brought the chair over, he tentatively pushed the chair towards Lu Shiyuan. Seeing that Lu Shiyuan had no intention of objecting him, he ced the chair beside Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan was not against it. However, Lin Shanchu had a bone to pick with him. After she dragged the chair away from Lu Shiyuan, she stroked the hem of her dress and sat down slowly. Anger filled Lu Shiyuans eyes as he gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Shanchu coldly. However, Lin Shanchu did not even look at him. She looked around and acted like a major shareholder. She leaned back in her chair and saidzily, Where were we just now? Continue. The shareholders felt that this scene was very familiar. Was this not the same as the shareholder meeting before? Lin Shanchu caused such a hugemotionst time, and she even dispersed Lu Shiyuans power. This time, Lin Shanchu was up to no good again. The shareholders had their own schemes in their minds, but none of them wanted Lu Shiyuan to monopolize the power. They hoped that Lin Shanchu would go against Lu Shiyuan every day, interrupting Lu Shiyuans peace of mind. Therefore, a shareholder had already started talking about the meeting before Lu Shiyuan could say anything. During the meeting, Lin Shanchu would always take the lead in opposing anything that Lu Shiyuan agreed to. Since Lin Shanchu took the lead, those cunning shareholders also pretended to be neutral and then switched sides. Their actions directly led to Lu Shiyuans failure ofpleting a single thing after the meeting ended. Lin Shanchu smiled as she raised her voice. Since everyone has nothing else to say, lets end the meeting. Seeing that Lu Shiyuan was about to explode at any time, the shareholders were still a little afraid. They stood up and left quickly. As soon as they left, Lu Shiyuan could not hold back anymore. He stood up with a whoosh and said angrily,Lin Shanchu, have you had enough? Of course not. Lin Shanchuughed. It was indescribably provocative and arrogant. Lu Shiyuan strode up to her. His heaving chest showed that he was frenzily suppressing his rage. He ced his hands on the armrest of Lin Shanchus seat and stared at her intently. Do you really think that I cant do anything to you? Every word seemed to be squeezed out his teeth. It was obvious how angry he was. Lin Shanchu was not timid at all, nor did she avoid Lu Shiyuans gaze. I never thought so. Lin Shanchus voice turned cold, and her gaze was as sharp as a de. Lu Shiyuan was stunned by the cold killing intent in her eyes. Lin Shanchu was sitting on a wheeled executive chair. She lifted her foot and kicked Lu Shiyuan away. The tip of her foot tapped lightly on the ground, and the chair slid back. Lu Shiyuan retreated reflexively in order to stabilize his body. Lin Shanchu stood up from the chair. Lu Shiyuan, now that things havee to this, there is no other way between us. One shall stand, one shall fall. Lin Shanchu turned around and left. She only left Lu Shiyuan with a determined back view. One shall stand, one shall fall. Lu Shiyuan repeated these words in his mind. He could not believe that these words came out of Lin Shanchus mouth. President Lu? Zhou Yan was a little worried when she saw that Lu Shiyuans expression was not right. Lu Shiyuan raised his hand, indicating that he was fine. After a while, Lu Shiyuan slowly raised his head and looked in the direction where Lin Shanchu had left. His gaze gradually became determined. Lin Shanchu came to the Lu family when she was six years old. They had known each other for sixteen years. For so many years, Lin Shanchu had never been the one to decide the matters between them. What did she mean by One shall stand, one shall fall? Lin Shanchu did not have the final say. He would decide what would happen between them! Lin Shanchu left the meeting room and went straight to the artist director. Qi Cheng and He Xiang stood beside her and looked at her cold face. The two of them looked at each other and no one dared to say anything. Qi Cheng drove them over. He originally nned to wait downstairs, but he followed them after consideration. Although he and He Xiang did not hear the conversation between Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan when they were at the door of the conference room earlier, they could see Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan at daggers drawn through the ss door. Lu Shiyuan was very famous in the industry. No matter how famous a person was, they had to be polite when they met Lu Shiyuan. However, Lin Shanchu dared to challenge Lu Shiyuan. This was something Qi Cheng had never expected. Ding! The elevator door opened. Just when Qi Cheng was about to go in, he noticed the two women beside him remained motionless. He raised his head and saw Tang Qidai standing in the elevator. Tang Qidai did not show a surprised look when she saw Lin Shanchu. Shanshan is here. Clearly, Tang Qidai had rushed over after receiving news of Lin Shanchus arrival. Lin Shanchu nced at Tang Qidai with a half-smile. Hows your friend recovering in the hospital? Qi Cheng and He Xiang did not understand what Lin Shanchu said, but Tang Qidai was well aware. Lin Shanchu was talking about Jiang Ziyu. Back then, Tang Qidai and Jiang Ziyu had discussed the n and both of them felt that it was foolproof. However, Lin Shanchu was unscathed after the incident, whereas Jiang Ziyu was sent to the hospital in critical condition. Tang Qidais face turned pale. However, she still pretended to be innocent. Shanshan, youre really well-informed.. Which friend of mine is hospitalized? Howe I dont know? Chapter 188 - 188: Spit It Out, Or Else Get Lost Chapter 188: Spit It Out, Or Else Get Lost Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu did not expose Tang Qidai. If that friend of yours were to hear your words, he would probably recover a little slower. Jiang Ziyu was devoted to Tang Qidai in the extreme. In Tang Qidais eyes, Jiang Ziyu was probably just an obedientpdog. One was willing to be on the giving end, whereas the other was willing to be on the receiving end. There was nothing strange about the two of them. I dont understand what youre talking about! Tang Qidai felt extremely guilty, but she still refused to admit it. Tang Qidai was well aware that it would be extremely difficult to deal with Lin Shanchu after this failure. Jiang Ziyu was currently lying in the hospital, and Tang Qidai could not produce any evidence that could link Lin Shanchu to his injuries. Therefore, she could only pretend that nothing had happened. However, she still had a long way to go. She would always find another chance to deal with Lin Shanchu. Now, Lu Shiyuan would continue to side with her as long as she denied the fact that she and Jiang Ziyu had plotted to harm Lin Shanchu. As long as Lu Shiyuan was still on her side, she would have plenty of opportunities. Tang Qidai walked past Lin Shanchu and quickly left the scene. Therefore, she did not notice He Xiang standing beside Lin Shanchu. He Xiang entered the elevator and pressed the floor selection button. Her gaze turned toward the direction where Tang Qidai had left. She had been Tang Qidais assistant for half a year. It had only been two months and she had only gotten a haircut and a new hairstyle, but Tang Qidai failed to recognize her earlier. Tang Qidai felt a sharp gaze behind her, so she abruptly turned her head. The elevator door closed at that moment. Tang Qidai did not see He Xiang. She thought that Lin Shanchu was the one staring her back just now. That poor wretch, Lin Shanchu, only dared to stare at her back with such a gaze. As long as Lu Shiyuan was on her side, Lin Shanchu would never be able to do anything to her. Tang Qidai smiled disdainfully and walked straight to Lu Shiyuans office. She met Zhou Yan at the office entrance. Zhou Yan was about to bring the coffee into the office, but Tang Qidai took it from him. Ill just bring it to Brother Shi Yuan. Tang Qidai pushed the door open and entered the office without giving Zhou Yan a chance to speak. Tang Qidai ced the coffee in front of Lu Shiyuan. When she saw that Lu Shiyuan had not noticed her, she stood in front of the desk and stared at him unhappily. Lu Shiyuan thought that the person who came in was Zhou Yan, so he did not even raise his head. Spit it out, or else get lost. His voice was so cold that it was abnormally terrifying. Brother Shiyuan, its me Tang Qidai trembled in fear. There was a hint of grievance in her gentle voice. Only then did Lu Shiyuan raise his head. Lu Shiyuans expression softened when he saw the person standing in front of him was Tang Qidai. Why are you here? Im here to see you. Dont you want me toe and see you? Tang Qidai pouted and acted coquettishly with Lu Shiyuan. No. Lin Shanchu had angered Lu Shiyuan during the meeting just now and his anger had not subsided, so he was not in a good mood. On a second thought, Tang Qidai said, I saw Shanshan on my way here just now. Tang Qidai noticed that Lu Shiyuans gaze changed when she mentioned Lin Shanchus name. She felt a little annoyed for some reason. She knew that b*tch Lin Shanchu was different in Shiyuans heart. No matter what that b*tch Lin Shanchu did, Shiyuan would spare her. Because of that, Tang Qidai was in a hurry to make a risky move so that Jiang Ziyu would deal with her. But now, she still had to continue ying an empathetic role in front of Lu Shiyuan. Shanshan has been eliminated, so she must be in a bad mood. Dont take her words to heart and upset yourself. Lu Shiyuan looked at Tang Qidai with a gentler gaze. Youre always so kind. I just hope that the three of us can get along well, Tang Qidai said sincerely as she held Lu Shiyuans hand. Lu Shiyuan calmly withdrew his hand. Alright, I still have things to do. Ill apany you for dinner after Im done. The smile on Tang Qidais face froze for a moment before returning to normal. Alright. When Lin Shanchu brought her people to the artist directors office, Kong Suyi was there too. Kong Suyi was discussing Tang Qidais business deals with the director. Lin Shanchu stood by the door and overheard them. Instead of a discussion, it was more like Kong Suyi unterally giving out orders. I dont think these business deals are worthy of Daidais status at the moment! Besides, none of the scripts that thepany gave Daidai is worth seeing! Its not like you dont know that Daidai only takes on leading roles with her status These are the business deals and scripts that Im going to negotiate on behalf of Daidai. Director, please take a look. If you find it difficult, then you can only ask Daidai to look for CEO Lu. As he spoke, he even threatened her. Lin Shanchu turned her head and asked He Xiang next to her, Whats the directors surname again? The artist director was just a nobody in the script without a name at all. Both Qi Cheng and He Xiang had worked in Lu Corporation before. However, Qi Cheng had left Lu Corporation three years ago. The entertainmentpany had frequent personnel transfers, and perhaps the director had already changed. Her surname is Xuan, He Xiang immediately replied. Lin Shanchu pushed the door open and entered the room. Director Xuan. President Lin. When the director saw Lin Shanchu, her eves lit up. Kong Suyi was bossy and domineering in thepany. Although she was the director, she had to be wary of Kong Suyi, who was Tang Qidais manager because she could not afford to offend her directly. However, Lin Shanchu was different. She did not even care about President Lu, let alone Tang Qidais manager. Kong Suyis expression immediately changed after she turned around and saw Lin Shanchu. She unwillingly greeted, President Lin. The director had already stood up when Lin Shanchu entered the room. Kong Suyi was still sitting on the sofa opposite her. Lin Shanchu did not say anything, but she just stared at Kong Suyi. He Xiang was very observant. Seeing this, she said, Sister Kong, President Lin and Director Xuan have something to discuss. You should give way to her. After the incidentst time, Kong Suyi had been a little afraid of Lin Shanchu. She hurriedly stood up. President Lin, please sit down. Then, she looked at He Xiang who was talking. After seeing He Xiangs face, Kong Suyis expression changed drastically. He Xiang! Sister Kong, you manage to recognize me. He Xiangs eyes were cold. Kong Suyi looked at He Xiang, then at Lin Shanchu. You Lin Shanchu saidzily, Please sit down. He Xiang and Qi Cheng sat down. President Lin, what would you like to drink? the director asked eagerly. No need, Ill leave after Im done talking. Lin Shanchu chuckled. No one paid attention to Kong Suyi. She just dilly-dallied at the side and did not leave the room. Go ahead. The director sat down. Give me a copy of project list that Tang Qidai has been negotiating recently, Lin Shanchu said.. Chapter 189 - 189: Lin Shanchu, Mind Your People! Chapter 189: Lin Shanchu, Mind Your People! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although the director was a little puzzled, she was sensible enough not to ask further questions. Miss Tangs manager just gave me the project list. The director stood up and took the project list that was ce aside and handed it to Lin Shanchu. President Lin what is the meaning of this Kong Suyi sensed that something was wrong and almost called out Lin Shanchus full name. No one paid attention to her. Lin Shanchu received the project list and did not even look at it, but she just asked, Are these the coborations that Tang Qidai has been looking forward to recently? Miss Tangs manager just gave these to me. I think they are probably some coborations that Miss Tang is interested in. The director looked at Kong Suyi. Youll have to ask Miss Tangs manager for the details. Kong Suyi noticed that someone finally paid attention to her, so she quickly walked over. These are the coborations that Daidai is going to negotiateter. Actually, theres no need for negotiation. With Daidais poprity, we can sign the contracts immediately as long as we agree to the terms and conditions. Kong Suyi sounded extremely confident. It was not because she was confident in Tang Qidais poprity, but she was more confident in Lu Shiyuan as her backer. Ever since Tang Qidais debut, Lu Shiyuan would help her get any role or business deals that she wanted. Qi Cheng vaguely sensed Lin Shanchus intention and asked, Theyre all still under negotiation and not a single contract has been signed, right? Yeah, replied Kong Suyi nonchntly. Lin Shanchu handed the project list to Qi Cheng. Then Ill have to trouble Brother Qi to help me with the negotation. Kong Suyi realized that there was something wrong with her words. She asked loudly, What do you mean by getting your manager to do the negotiation Of course, my manager is going to help me with the negotiation. Why would he help Tang Qidai? Lin Shanchuughed as if she had heard a joke. After she finishedughing, she said with a look of disbelief, Im not Lu Shiyuan. The director was speechless as she heard those words. Wasnt it a bit too arrogant for President Lin to brazenly snatch Tang Qidais resources? Kong Suyi was speechless as she helplessly stared at Lin Shanchu and the others leaving the room. She followed closely behind them and took out her phone to call Tang Qidai. Daidai, something bad happened The artist management department was huge. Lin Shanchu casually headed toward the elevator with Qi Cheng and He Xiang. Both Qi Cheng and He Xiang were former employees of Lu Corporation. They met many familiar faces along the way. Especially Qi Cheng, he had been Jing Mings manager for five years and had many old acquaintances in thepany. Before they reached the elevator, they ran into Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan. Tang Qidai was next to Lu Shiyuan, looking pretty despite the red-rimmed eyes. Lu Shiyuan stepped forward and asked, Lin Shanchu, what do you want? A fairpetition with Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu blinked innocently. Didnt Kong Suyi tell you when she tipped you off? Enough! Youve been bullying Qidai since you were young. So many years have passed, but you havent changed at all! Lu Shiyuans tone was filled with disappointment. Im tired of hearing these words. Lin Shanchu was really sick of hearing it. Ever since she was young, she had to take the me no matter what Tang Qidai had do ne to her. She would be considered bullying Tang Qidai whenever she resisted. Lu Shiyuan clenched his fists. When will you be kinder and stop targeting Tang Qidai? Youre wrong. Im not targeting Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu sneered and retorted seriously, Im targeting you and Tang Qidai. You Lu Shiyuan was stunned. Lin Shanchu leaned forward slightly and whispered to him, Lu Shiyuan, you didnt think that I was all talk when I said those words in the office earlier, did you? Lu Shiyuan could not remember how long it had been since he and Lin Shanchu were at close quarters. His heart skipped a beat, and he could note to his senses for a while. Tang Qidai panicked when she saw Lu Shanyuans dazed expression, so s] walked over and tried to push Lin Shanchu away. He Xiang had been paying attention to Tang Qidai. When Tang Qidai approached Lin Shanchu, He Xiang was one step ahead trying to block her. Tang Qidais anger surged in her hearts when He Xiang blocked her. When she looked up again, she recognized He Xiang. Its you When He Xiang and Tang Qidais eyes met, she recalled the night Tang Qidai beat her up. Even so, she suppressed her fear and looked Tang Qidai in the eye. Tang Qidai sneered, raised her hand and pped He Xiang hard. Who did He Xiang think she was? How dare she stop her! She may not dare toy a hand on Lin Shanchu, but she could deal with this insignificant b*tch. Smack! The sound of a p echoed in the corridor. Everyone looked over. The memories of that night instantly flooded He Xiangs mind, such that she trembled in fear. Tang Qidai pretended to panic and looked at Lu Shiyuan pitifully. Brother Shiyuan, I didnt want to hit her. She scolded me first. I really couldnt hold it in anymore, so Lu Shiyuan had been distracted by Lin Shanchus approach, so he did not notice if He Xiang had scolded Tang Qidai. However, he had always blindly believed in Tang Qidai. Naturally, he would think whatever Tang Qidai said was true. Lu Shiyuan immediately turned around tofort Tang Qidai.lts okay. Dont be afraid. Lin Shanchu was used to such scenes. Qi Cheng was shocked as he witnessed this scene for the first time. He was the closest to He Xiang, so he knew very well that He Xiang had not made a sound from the beginning to the end. One could not help but marvel at Tang Qidais poker face and her ability to distort the truth. He Kiang! Whats wrong with you? Qi Cheng noticed He Xiangs abnormality and quickly walked forward. He Xiang trembled all over with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. Qi Cheng also saw He Xiangs injuries on that day. Therefore, he immediately understood what had happened. Lin Shanchu also walked over. She looked at He Xiang expressionlessly. She was afraid, helpless, and powerless to put up resistance. She saw her past self in He Xiang. One would not fall into despair if they were just bullied and disappointed. One would fall into endless despair only when they were unable to put up resistance. Therefore, all of them should resist regardless of the means. After Lu Shiyuanforted Tang Qidai, he said coldly, Lin Shanchu, mind your people! Lin Shanchu did not seem to hear his words. She turned her head. She then walked up Tang Qidai and pped her hard across the face. The employees who dared not get close and secretly watched them from afar were stunned upon witnessing this scene. The scene was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a pin dropping on the ground. Tang Qidai was dumbfounded as she felt a buzz in her head. It took her a long time toe to her senses. She opened her mouth in a fit of rage and was going to scold Lin Shanchu. However, she immediately retracted her curses when she looked up and saw Lu Shiyuan standing at the side. Tears gushed down Tang Qidais red-rimmed eyes as she said, Brother Shi Yuan, Shanshan. She pped me Chapter 190 - 190: Silly Girl, Why Didn ‘t You Dodge It? Chapter 190: Silly Girl, Why Didn t You Dodge It? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion No one saw iting. Tang Qidai had been a third wheel in between Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan for many years, and the public had been following the drama for many years. Recently, Lin Shanchu had shown signs of counterattacking. She had gotten into a conflict with Tang Qidai in public, but this her first timeying hands on Tang Qidai in public. It was somewhat unexpected, but people felt that the day had finallye. Lu Shiyuan red at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. Apologize to Qidai! If you still have any shame, you should ask Tang Qidai apologize to Hexiang first. Lin Shanchu smiled contemptuously. Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth as he asked, If that assistant of yours had behaved herself and hadnt spouted nonsense, would Qidai have hit her? When did you hear He Xiang scolding Tang Qidai? Lin Shanchu looked at the employees who were watching them from afar and shouted, Did you all hear that? Lu Shiyuan also followed Lin Shanchus line of sight. The employees were enjoying the drama unfold. Some bold people were even holding their phones to record videos. However, they ran away in fear when Lu Shiyuan looked over. They could tell their lives were more important than watching the drama unfold. No one answered. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze with a smile on her face and said mockingly, No one can prove that He Xiang scolded Tang Qidai. Lu Shiyuan frowned slightly and began to have doubts. He Xiang was just an assistant, yet she dared to scold Tang Qidai in front of him? Lu Shiyuans silence made Tang Qidai panic. Brother Shiyuan, I can let her get away with this p, but I cant ept this groundless nder! She pulled Lu Shiyuans arm and bit her lips, pretending to be wronged. Distressed shed past Lu Shiyuans eyes as he said, Qidai, dont worry. I wont let anyone bully you or let you suffer any wrongs. Tang Qidai weakly threw herself into Lu Shiyuans arms and bawled, as if she had suffered a great grievance. Lu Shiyuan coaxed Tang Qidai before pointing his finger at He Xiang. You there, apologize to Qidai. Lu Shiyuan had been in charge of Lu Corporation for many years and had the aura of a superior. Even Lin Shanchu was afraid of him deeD down, not to mention He Xianz. He Xiang had already calmed down. She bit her lip and stared intently at Tang Qidai. Her heart filled with anger and hatred, to the point that she did not even realize that blood was seeping out of her lips. Lu Shiyuans current lofty attitude was exactly the same as when Tang Qidai had beaten her up on that day. The fear in the depths of his heart once again broke through He Xiangs psychological defense. Yes He Xiang was unable to control herself and was about to apologize. However, Lin Shanchu held her hand as soon as she opened her mouth. She looked at Lin Shanchu nkly. Lin Shanchu stood in front of her. Lu Shiyuan, you really cant change your habit of bullying women, can you? Lu Shiyuan cared about his dignity the most, so Lin Shanchus words were undoubtedly touched a sore point with him. Shut up! He clenched his fists again. Right. Anyvvay, this is not your first time bullying women without knowing right from wrong. Lin Shanchu looked at Lu Shiyuan provocatively. B*tch! Lu Shiyuan raised his hand in a fit of rage. Lin Shanchu could have dodged it. Her heart and her brain were sending her messages to dodge it. However, she seemed to have been nailed to the spot and could not move at all. She even closed her eyes reflexively. However, the expected p did notnd on her face. Lu Shiyuan, why are you like this? How could youy your hands on such a beautiful girl? Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Shanchu opened her eyes. Huo Chaosheng held Lu Shiyuans arm in mid-air and turned to smile at Lin Shanchu. Silly girl, why didnt you dodge it? Just like her, Huo Chaosheng always wore a poker face and was good at disguising himself. It was clearly an insincere smile, but no one could detect any ws in that smile. Lin Shanchu did not like this side of herself, and she hated this side of Huo Chaosheng. However, she felt that Huo Chaosheng was not that much of an eyesore at that moment. Lin Shanchu did not smile, but she looked calm as she said seriously, Ill definitely dodge it next time. Huo Chaosheng was obviously taken aback because he knew that people like them often spoke more sincerely when they were not smiling. But soon, Huo Chaosheng smiled again. I said youre a silly girl, but you really took it to heart and even intend to do it again. He smiled and spoke in an unrestrained tone like a yboy. Back in the training camp, Lin Shanchu had more than once heard the trainees talk behind Huo Chaoshengs back that he had the most charming look. Lin Shanchus lips twitched expressionlessly. Society is dangerous. Scumbags are always everywhere, arent they? Oh. Huo Chaosheng pretended that he had been taught a lesson. The two people chatted for a long time as if no one else was around. Finally, Lu Shiyuan got the opportunity to speak. First, he flung Huo Chaoshengs arm away. Huo Chaosheng? Huo Chaosheng took two steps back. He then crossed his arms and sized up Lu Shiyuan as if he was evaluating a product. You are Lu Shiyuan? Lin Shanchus gaze swept back and forth between the two of them. How did Lu Shiyuan and Huo Chaosheng get acquainted? Noticing Lin Shanchus confusion, Huo Chaosheng took the initiative to exin himself. He wanted to sign a contract with me, so I came to hispany to have a look, but I didnt expect youd be here. Fate really brought us together. Huo Chaosheng spoke seriously. Lin Shanchu almost believed him, but she saw the smile in his eyes. Huo Chaoshengs statement was probably a half-truth. It was true that Lu Shiyuan wanted to sign a contract with Huo Chaosheng. After SOF disbanded, Huo Chaosheng returned to the country and had yet to sign a contract with anypany. With Huo Chaoshengs poprity, anypany that signed a contract with him would prosper significantly for sure. Lu Shiyuan was now at the stage where he wanted to make achievements and regain power. Before Lin Shanchu could say anything, Lu Shiyuan said to Huo Chaosheng, Lets talk in my office. Sure, Huo Chaosheng replied. Lu Shiyuan led Huo Chaosheng to the elevator. Lin Shanchu and the others also wanted to leave. The ascending elevator arrived first. Huo Chaosheng followed Lu Shiyuan into the elevator. Just when Lu Shiyuan was about to press the button to close the door, Huo Chaosheng suddenly poked his head out. Silly girl, why arent youing in? Lin Shanchu was standing in front of the other elevator and looking up at the elevator floor disy as if she had not heard anything. He Xiang gently nudged Lin Shanchus arm and reminded her n a low voice, Sister Lin, I think Teacher Huo is calling you. Lin Shanchu heard him, but she had to pretend that she did not hear him. If she responded to Huo Chaosheng, wouldnt she be admitting that she was a silly girl? She was not stupid. The elevator is here. Lin Shanchu stepped into the elevator. He Xiang and Qi Cheng turned around and bade farewell to Huo Chaosheng. Goodbye, Teacher Huo. Huo Chaosheng had a high status. Lin Shanchu could ignore him, but the two of them did not dare to do so.. Chapter 191 - 191: Well-played Chapter 191: Well-yed Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Chaosheng turned to look at Lu Shiyuan in disappointment. Didnt you say that you would let Lin Shanchu negotiate the contract with Its the same even if you discuss with me. When Huo Chaosheng grabbed Lu Shiyuans arm in front of everyone, Lu Shiyuan felt humiliated and was very unhappy. However, he was concerned that he would have to negotiate the contract with Huo Chaoshengter, so he did not have a fit. Even so, his tone did not get any better. Unexpectedly, Huo Chaoshengs tone was worse than his. But I dont want to negotiate with you. He sounded extremely impatient, as if he did not bother to say another word to Lu Shiyuan. He reached out and pressed the button to the nearest floor. All the artistes that Lu Shiyuan had dealt with pleased and begged him respectfully. It was his first time encountering someone as shameless as Huo Chaosheng. Lu Shiyuans expression turnedpletely cold. Although Lin Shanchu is one of the shareholders in thepany, she is not familiar with thepanys business affairs. She is not as professional as me. I dont care if shes professional or not. Huo Chaosheng did not even look at Lu Shiyuan. He just wanted to get out quickly and y with Lin Shanchu. He came to Lu Corporation because when Lu Shiyuan contacted him, he promised that he would let Lin Shanchu negotiate the contract with him. On the other hand, he also wanted to meet Lin Shanchus fianc. He initially thought an interesting person like Lin Shanchu would have an intriguing fianc as well. He did not expect that Lu Shiyuan would be so boring. Youre not here to negotiate the contract! Only then did Lu Shiyuan realize that Huo Chaosheng was here for Lin Shanchu. Ding! The elevator door opened. Huo Chaosheng left without looking back. He only liked to y with interesting people. He had ssified Lu Shiyuan under the boring category. Naturally, he would not say another word to him. Lu Shiyuan, who felt that he had been yed, was naturally unwilling to let Huo Chaosheng off the hook just like that. Lu Shiyuan ran out of the elevator and grabbed Huo Chaosheng, pressing him against the wall. Youre here for Lin Shanchu. Whats your rtionship with her? Huo Chaosheng hissed in pain as his back mmed against the wall. He closed his eyes to rx. He looked at Lu Shiyuan only after the pain in his back eased a little. Youre kinda interesting Huo Chaosheng stared at Lu Shiyuan and paused for a moment before hepleted the rest of his sentence. But I dont make friends with violent people. Lu Shiyuan felt that Huo Chaosheng was a strange person. He only wanted to know what the rtionship between Huo Chaosheng and Lin Shanchu was. He did not say that he wanted to be friends with Huo Chaosheng. Under Lu Shiyuans puzzled gaze, Huo Chaosheng said lightly, If one cant control their own actions, they are no different from animals. Lu Shiyuan understood him this time. Huo Chaosheng called him an animal. Youre courting death! Lu Shiyuan clenched his fist and swung it at Huo Chaosheng. As soon as Lin Shanchu stepped out of the elevator, Qi Cheng started to discuss the itinerary with her. Theres an exclusive interview in the morning. Its not toote to go now. Lets go then. Lin Shanchus tone sounded easy-going and friendly. It was hard for people to associate her current self with the look when she pped Tang Qidai just now. Qi Cheng fell silent for a moment before he continued, A few business events on the itinerary ovep with Miss Tangs. Should we take these few first? It was impossible for every brand to only take on one artist at a time. They would have several backups. If they failed to negotiate with the original artist, they would naturally have to negotiate with other artists. Of course I have to ept them. She was serious about snatching Tang Qidais resources. The group of people walked outside as they talked. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at thepanys main entrance. Qi Chengs expression changed when he looked outside. Miss Lin, dont go out yet. Lin Shanchu did not want to stay in Lu Corporation for another second, so she left quickly. When she heard Qi Chengs words and wanted to retreat, the reporters had already surrounded her. Lin Shanchu maintained a smile on her face as she silently recited a word in her mindf*ck! Qi Cheng and He Xiang were more experienced professionals, so they quickly stepped forward to block the reporters for Lin Shanchu. He Xiang whispered, Why are the reporters here? Lin Shanchu lowered her head and pretended to brush her hair. She covered her mouth with her hand and murmured, Tang Qidai, that b*tch called them over. It was an extremely firm statement. He Xiang was stunned for a few seconds. After confirming that the words Tang Qidai, that b*tch hade from the elegant and gentle Lin Shanchus mouth, she responded in a daze, Oh. Qi Cheng heard their conversation and sighed helplessly. Miss Lin, perhaps you can restrain yourself a little? Okay. Lin Shanchu raised her head and smiled at the camera. The reporters threw a barrage of questions at her. Lin Shanchu, the footage of you pping Tang Qidai due to conflict has already gone viral online. Do you have anything to say? Why did you have a conflict with Tang Qidai? Theizens said that youre bullying her with your power. Do you admit it? Are you going to target Tang Qidai on purpose? It had only been twenty minutes since this incident happened. To her suprise, the footage had gone viral online so quickly. If it was an employee who revealed it, the news would not have spread so quickly. The reporters managed to learn about the news so quickly ande over because Tang Qidai had hired muckrakers to hijack the trending search list on social media. Qi Cheng did not expect that he had to deal with such a troublesome problem on his first day at work. Regarding this matter, we Can you show me the footage? Lin Shanchu interrupted Qi Chengs speech. A cooperative reporter showed Lin Shanchu the footage. Qi Cheng was puzzled. The footage was obviously recorded on a mobile phone. They only edited the scene of Lin Shanchu pping Tang Qidai hard. The sound was loud and clear, indicating that she had exerted a lot of strength at that time. It was pretty well-yed. Lin Shanchu was very satisfied with her performance. Thank you. Lin Shanchu returned the phone to the reporter. The reporters replied, Pleasement. Lin Shanchu: Im sorry, I have to attend an exclusive interviewter. I cant give you ament for the time being. Is there any conflict between the exclusive interview and thement? Lin Shanchu replied, Of course there is. If I were to give you ament now, I wouldnt have anything to say when the reporter asks me this question againter. The reporters were speechless. Qi Cheng was equally speechless as the reporters. He heard about the things that Lin Shanchu had done before. However, when Lin Shanchu came to him because of Jing Mings matter, he felt that Lin Shanchu was quite a normal person after getting in touch with her. It had always been difficult to distinguish between the truths and the lies in the entertainment industry. Qi Cheng believed what he saw with his eyes. Therefore, he immediately agreed when he went to Tianzhou Media and was offered a job as Lin Shanchus manager. But now He felt a little regretful. He really did not expect Lin Shanchu would be so ferocious.. Chapter 192 - 192: How Could This Be Unworrying? Chapter 192: How Could This Be Unworrying? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Unwilling to give up, the reporter asked, Why dont you just reveal a little bit first? Lin Shanchu smiled. Its not like I cant do that. Feeling a sense of foreboding, Qi Cheng quickly stepped forward to separate Lin Shanchu from the reporter. Im sorry, we have noment on your question. Lin Shanchu poked her head out from behind, unwilling to be left out. I can say something first Qi Cheng pushed Lin Shanchus head back and said loudly, Security! Thepanys security guards quickly stepped forward and separated the reporters. Lin snau opened ner beautitL11 eyes, 100R1ng extremely Innocent. Were all friends. Its okay to say a few words. Qi Cheng stopped believing her nonsense. He gestured to He Xiang, and then the two of them carried Lin Shanchu into the car. After Lin Shanchu got into the car, she leaned against the window and shouted at the reporters, Remember to pay attention to my interview. Her innocent and cute appearance made her look like an inexperienced artist. All the reporters heard her words. Qi Cheng started the car. Some reporters even chased after the car and asked, Which media interview? Lin Shanchu tilted her head and pondered. Which media interview was it? She did not pay attention to it. Lin Shanchu turned to Qi Cheng and asked, Brother Qi, which media inteview is it? Qi Cheng rolled up the car window expressionlessly and turned on the safety lock. Youll know when we get there. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Was there a need to be so wary of her? Lin Shanchu turned to look at He Xiang. Without waiting for Lin Shanchus question, He Xiang took the initiative to speak, He Yue Entertainment. Oh. Lin Shanchu patted He Xiangs head. Good job. Ill give you a raise once I earn some money. He Xiang smiled embarrassedly. Qi Cheng said faintly, Miss Lin, does President Nan know that youre so outspoken in front of the reporters? Lin Shanchu noticed that He Xiangs face was a little red and swollen, so she casually replied, He should already know by now. Nan Mu had always been well-informed. The footage of her beating up Tang Qidai had already been uploaded to the inte. Nan Mu must have found out about such a major incident. Qi Cheng was speechless. Currently, he felt like he had been deceived. When Nan Mu had told him to take care of Lin Shanchu, he said that she was gentle, kind, and easy to get along with and that he did not need to worry about her at all. How could this be unworrying? Brother Qi, you dont have to call me Miss Lin. It sounds too distant. You can call me Shanshan like Tang Qidai. When Qi Cheng heard those words, he nced at Lin Shanchu in the rearview mirror. Lin Shanchu was tugging at He Xiangs hair and looking at her face. There was not a hint of resentment toward Tang Qidai on her face. He saw how hard Lin Shanchu had pped Tang Qidai at that time. He thought Lin Shanchu must have hated Tang Qidai for a long time. However, she could mention Tang Qidai so casually at this moment. This girl was not simple. When He Xiang saw Lin Shanchu staring at her face, she quickly pulled her hair and said with a smile, Im fine. It doesnt hurt. It doesnt hurt? Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows. Yes. He Xiang nodded. The next second, He Xiangs painful cry sounded in the car because Lin Shanchu had reached out and pinched the side of her face that Tang Qidai had pped. Didnt you say it doesnt hurt? Lin Shanchu let go of her hand and stared at He Xiang calmly. He Xiang was speechless. Qi Cheng saw all everything. Theres a pharmacy up ahead. Ill go and buy some ointment for He Xiang. He Xiang wanted to refuse him, but when she looked up and met Lin Shanchus eyes, she had to bit her tongue. Only the two of them were left in the car. After a while, He Xiang said, Sister Lin, thank you. No need to thank me. Ive wanted to hit Tang Qidai for a long time too. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she changed the topic and saidzily, But if something like this happens again, you have to fight back yourself. He Xiang was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was leaning against the car seat, resting with her eyes closed. Her wless face was cold after the disguise was removed. When He Xiang was Tang Qidais assistant, she had seen quite many female celebrities who were known for their good looks. However, none of them were like Lin Shanchu, who could make peoplepletely unable to take her eyes off Lin Shanchu just by looking at her. Only you can ovee the fear in your heart. Lin Shanchu suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear and devoid of any emotions, but it made He Xiang feel inexplicably depressed. A few secondster, He Xiang came to her senses. I understand. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze. Those words were not only for He Xiang, but also for herself. He Xiang was afraid of Tang Qidai. He Xiang was afraid of Lu Shiyuan, whereas she still feared Lu Shiyuan deep down. They had to ovee the fear in their hearts. It wasughable. She was clearly alone and had no worries, but why was she still afraid of Lu Shiyuan? Could it be because of the suppression of Lu Shiyuans male lead aura? But how could she weaken Lu Shiyuans male lead aura? The system also mentioned the concept of a male lead aura in the beginning. Lin Shanchu thought for a long time before summoning the system. Without giving the system a chance to speak, Lin Shanchu asked, Is the male lead aura an existence that will never be disturbed by any external force? [Yes.] The system answered firmly. Lin Sanchu asked, If there really is an existence in this world that cannot be disturbed by external forces, then how do you exin everything that happened to me? If it really could not be disturbed at all, then why would she, the female lead, awaken her own consciousness? The system was silent for a while. [Theres no such thing as perfection in this world. Sometimes, there will be some bugs For example, our system sometimes has bugs that cause the program to go haywire and give the wrong instructions] The system was afraid of being blocked by Lin Shanchu, so it seriously exined a lot of professional terms to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu did not understand the professional terms, but she was good at catching on keywords. There are also times when your system faces program errors? [Its just an analogy.] The system had switched to the mechanical voice from before. It was originally something synthesized by code. Regardless of mechanical voice or baby voice, it would not show any emotions when it spoke. However, Lin Shanchu felt that something was off. I understand. Lin Shanchu blocked the system right after saying that. Qi Cheng had just returned from buying the ointment. Rubbing will relieve the pain. He handed the ointment to He Xiang. Lin Shanchus phone rang at this moment. He looked at the caller ID. It was a call from Nan Mu. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone without hesitation and turned on Weibo. The profiteer boss, Nan Mu, did not answer her call yesterday, so he should not expect that she would answer his call today. Since Lin Shanchu did not answer the phone, Nan Mu had to call Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng answered the phone. President Nan? Qi Cheng, where are you guys now? Nan Mu was very gratified when someone finally answered his call. Were on the way to the interview, Qi Cheng answered. Nan Mu immediately replied, Dont go. Go straight back to thepany.. Chapter 193 - 193: Lin Shanchu Had A Wild Way of Doing Things Chapter 193: Lin Shanchu Had A Wild Way of Doing Things Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Qi Cheng fell silent for a moment. President Nan, are you sure? Nan Mu was puzzled. Qi Cheng continued, President Nan, could it be that you still dont Imow she had already told the reporters that they should pay attention to her interview? Qi Cheng was met with a long silence. Nan Mu was dumbfounded. Now, he finally understood what Huo Xunzhou meant when he said, As long as youve thought it through. Lin Shanchu had a wild way of doing things. She dared to say anything. She dared to do anything. She dared to cause any trouble. No matter how many endorsements he arranged for Lin Shanchu, it was useless. He was just shooting himself in the foot. But what could he do? He was the one who had begged Lin Shanchu to sign with Tianzhou Media in the first ce. He could only support the artists he had signed. After a long time, Nan Mu let out a long sigh. Go ahead. She can do whatever she wants and say whatever she wants. Just let her be as long as she doesnt break thew. He might as well allow an artist whom he could not control do whatever she wanted. Qi Cheng was speechless. Alright. After hanging up the phone, Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu through the rearview mirror. President Nan called just now. What did he say? Although Lin Shanchu had been ying on her phone, she listened attentively to Qi Chengs call. He told you not to break thew, Qi Cheng said truthfully. Lin Shanchu thought of Jiang Ziyu, who was still lying in the hospital, and replied against her will, Oh. Pfft! He Xiang could not hold back hisughter. President Nans expectations of Sister Lin were too low. Qi Cheng and Lin Shanchu both looked at He Xiang. He Xiang hurriedly changed the topic. Actually, Sister Lin, the online response to the incident of you pping Tang Qidai is much better than we thought. Is that so? I saw a lot of people scolding me. Lin Shanchu saw many private messages scolding her when she turned on her Weibo. He Xiang said tentatively, Actually Sister Lin, your poprity is much better than before. Although there are still many anti-fans, many passers-by have a good impression of you and will speak up for you Lin Shanchu felt somewhatforted. Youre right. In the past, Tang Qidai had deliberately created trouble and hired Inte trolls to nder her, causing her to be ndered by the entire Inte. Now, some people had started to speak up for her. It also meant that her first move was correct. If she wanted people to notice her and speak up for her, she had to be popr. The more popr she was, the better. Qi Cheng was done listening to their conversation. He thought that Lin Shanchu was worried about this matter, so heforted her. Dont worry, Ill handle this matter. When we get thereter, Illmunicate with the interviewing reporter in advance. Lin Shanchu had only told the reporters that she would respond after the interviewing reporter brought up the matter again. If the reporter did not do so, Lin Shanchu naturally did not have to give a response. Lin Shanchu shook her headzily. No need. I can deal with them. Qi Cheng wanted to say something, but he did not say anything when he saw Lin Shanchus confident look. Lin Shanchu looked down at her phone again. Thement interface stayed on the phone screen. [Lin Shanchu is too arrogant. How dare she hit someone in public? Why isnt someone like her quitting the industry?] [Thats right. Theyre both female celebrities, but she actually dared to p Daidais face.] [Wasnt she bullying someone with her power in front of Lu Shiyuan?] [Even passers-by will feel that Tang Qidai has been wronged. She and Lu Shiyuan are getting closer, but isnt Lu Shiyuans fiance still Lin Shanchu?] [You guys are talking as if Tang Qidai is innocent. Its a fact that shes a third wheel. Im not taking sides. Im waiting for the turn of events] [Ill wait for Lin Shanchus response in the interview.] [Sister Rabbit is a responsible person. She will definitely respond. Lets wait for her response.] Among the sevenments on this page, four of them were scolding her and speaking up for Tang Qidai. However, as for the other threements, one was her fan, and the other two passers-by were willing to wait for her response. In the past, it would be difficult to find someone willing to wait for her response or speak up for her even among seven hundredments, let alone seven. The feeling of having someone on her side It really felt good. If she had not fought for it, she would not have had these three people on her side. Therefore, people had to fight for their lives. Lin Shanchu arrived at the interview venue on time. The reporter for the exclusive interview was ready. When the reporter saw Lin Shanchu, she greeted her politely, Teacher Lin. Lin Shanchu smiled and asked politely, Sorry for the long wait. Shall we start directly? We need to adjust the lights and machines here. Please wait a moment. Alright. Lin Shanchu turned on WeChat while resting on the sofa. There were three unread messages on WeChat. They were all sent by Qiao Jiaxi half an hour ago. Lin Shanchu was busy reading the news on Weibo earlier, so she had not replied Jiaxi. Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and directly gave Qiao Jiaxi a call. Qiao Jiaxi answered the phone almost instantly, as if she was waiting specifically for Lin Shanchus call. President Lin. I was too busy today. I didnt have time to talk to you at the office. Lin Shanchus tone sounded slow and casual. Its okay. You dont have to go back to that talent show now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Yes. Lin Shanchus voice wasced with a chuckle and sounded very calm. On the other end, Qiao Jiaxi could no longer hold it in. The incident between you and Tang Qidai is trending. I saw the footage, but I believe you. You definitely didnt hit her for no reason Thank you. Lin Shanchu smiled. When she went to look for the artiste director at Lu Corporation, she saw Qiao Jiaxi. Although Qiao Jiaxi had managed to ride on Director Lis coattails, he was not as good as Lu Shiyuan, so the resources she could get were far inferior to Tang Qis. Coupled with Kong Suyis deliberate oppression, Qiao Jiaxi did not gain any advantage even if she asionally exposed some dirt on Tang Qidai. Qiao Jiaxi had an impatient personality, so she naturally wanted to ask Lin Shanchu for resources. When Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai were confronting each other, Qiao Jiaxi was hiding among the crowd to watch the drama unfold. Lin Shanchu had already noticed her long ago. It was just that she was not in the mood to pay attention to her. Among the three WeChat messages Qiao Jiaxi had just sent, one of them was: [I have the full video of Tang Qidai hitting your assistant.] Lin Shanchu had long seen the message, but she deliberately did not reply, leaving Qiao Jiaxi hanging. Qiao Jiaxi wanted to use this video to exchange for more benefits. Qiao Jiaxi listened to Lin Shanchus reply and wondered, Didnt you see the WeChat messages I sent you? I didnt have the time to read it. Did you send me a message? Lin Shanchu asked in surprise. Qiao Jiaxi gasped. She had deliberately mentioned Tang Yingdai just now, thinking that Lin Shanchu had already seen her messages. Not only had Lin Shanchu not seen her messages, but she also reacted so calmly. Did it mean that Lin Shanchu already had a way to deal with Tang Qidai? In that case, would the video in her hands still be useful to Lin Shanchu? Chapter 194 - 194: I’m Not Naive and Gentle, Nor Am I Magnanimous and Kind Chapter 194: Im Not Naive and Gentle, Nor Am I Magnanimous and Kind Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ill take a look now. After Lin Shanchu replied Qiao Jiaxi, she pretended to look at her WeChat messages without saying anything else. After a few seconds, Lin Shanchu spoke again. Do you have the full video of Tang Qidai beating up He Xiang? Qiao Jiaxi was immediately pleased. Thats right! Do you want it? As long as Lin Shanchu took the initiative to ask for the video, she would be able to negotiate terms with her. Thank you for your kindness, but I dont need it. I have another way. Lin Shanchu refused in a gentle tone. Huh? Qiao Jiaxi was dumbfounded. Did Lin Shanchu really have another way? Sister Lin, the preparations are ready. The interview is about to begin. He Xiang walked over at this moment. Lin Shanchu seized the opportunity and hung up the phone. Qi Cheng was still a little worried. How are you going to respond when the reporter asks about you hitting Tang Qidaiter? Of course Ill admit it. What else can I do? Lin Shanchu let out a long sigh. Qi Cheng was silent for a moment. There were so many employees present at the time. I could always find one or two people who took theplete video But the problem is, are they willing to offend Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan? If an ordinary employee offended Lu Shiyuan, they would not be able to survive in the industry. Therefore, even if there was a video, those employees would not admit it. This was also the reason why Lin Shanchu never thought of using this method in the first ce. Qi Cheng naturally understood this point. Finding the full video is the fastest and most efficient way to calm the storm. Any other method would damage Lin Shanchus poprity. As Lin Shanchus manager, he naturally wanted to minimize the repercussions for Lin Shanchu. Dont worry, there will be a video, and the storm will be quelled. What do you mean? Qi Cheng was puzzled. Youll know when the timees. Lin Shanchu and entered the recording studio after saying those words. The interviewing reporter arranged by He Yue Entertainment was experienced. She was also very amiable during the interview. She also looked gentle when she asked the questions at the beginning, but she turned out to be a wolf in sheeps clothing towards the end. The reporter asked, Everyone thinks that youre naive, gentle, magnanimous and kind person. Do you have anything to say about everyones evaluation of you? Im not naive and gentle, nor am I magnanimous and kind. The reporter asked, Then whats the real you like? Lin Shanchu replied, I will never forgive those who hurt me. I hope that the people I hate will die soon. I want them to pay the price. Lin Shanchu had a serious look when she said those words in a gentle tone, but her eyes looked unusually determined. Everyone could tell that she was serious. The reporter was taken aback. It was not that she had never seen a outspoken female artist. However, she had never seen a female artist like Lin Shanchu. She was clearly at the center of the storm. Not only did she not know how to restrain herself, but she was also arrogant. Lin Shanchu seemed to have thought of something happy and smiled at the reporter. By the way, every time I dream of the ones who hurt me getting killed by a car, Ill be on cloud nine for an entire day. The reporter was speechless. She really could not reply to those crazy words. Although Nan Mu was a profiteer, the teams for all the interviews he epted on behalf of Lin Shanchu were very reliable. The reporters questions were getting sharper, but they were still within a reasonable range. Instead, Lin Shanchus answer made the reporters feel scared. Hence, the reporter stopped the recording. Qi Cheng had been standing guard at the side. He walked over as soon as the recording stopped. Brother Qi, please talk to Miss Lin. The reporter and Qi Cheng had dealt with each other before in the entertainment industry. After the reporter finished speaking, she stood up and left, making room for Qi Cheng to give Lin Shanchu a piece of his mind. Didnt we have a good chat? Why did she suddenly stop? Lin Shanchu had a puzzled look while looking at the reporter. Her clear eyes looked as innocent as they could be. The reporter was dumbfounded as she looked at Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng ced his hands on his hips and fell silent for a moment. Thats it. Its quite good. Go on. There was a hint of hopelessness in his tone. Even President Nan could not control Lin Shanchu, so what could a newly-appointed manager like him do to control her? Besides, he felt that Lin Shanchu was not the kind of muddle-headed artist. Since Lin Shanchu dared to say those words, she must have been mentally prepared. Are you serious? The reporter was shocked. Qi Cheng waved his hand and left. Lin Shanchu had already returned to her seat and was ready to continue recording. The reporter spent some time trying to regain herposure. Since Lin Shanchu dared to say all kinds of crazy things, she might as well spice things up. The reporter quickly asked about the incident where Lin Shanchu hit Tang Qidai. Have you seen the video of you pping Tang Qidai on the Inte? Lin Shanchu nodded obediently, like a little kid answering her teachers question seriously. My reporter friend showed it to me. The reporter asked, You really hit her? Lin Shanchu replied, Yeah. The reporter was speechless. She wondered what was going on with the excitement in her tone. The reporters palms started to sweat. She braced herself and continued to ask, Why did you hit her? Lin Shanchu replied, This is actually a private matter between me and Tang Qidai. I didnt expect it to be posted online. Only Tang Qidai knows the reason why I hit her. I dont want my private matter to be magnified. It meant that she did not want to talk about this matter anymore. The reporter was speechless. Wasnt she fearless to say anything just now? And now she did not want her private matter to be magnified? The words Youre done for, youre going to be ndered were written all over the reporters face. Is that so? But everyone is waiting for your response. Lin Shanchu replied, This is my response. I dont do things for merit. I just want to follow my conscience and not disappoint those who believe in me. After the interview, the reporter roughly organized the interview content. Lin Shanchus speech throughout the interview was very bold. Based on her personal experience, most of the content had to be removed before it could be broadcast. She told Lin Shanchu about this matter tactfully. Lin Shanchu understood and agreed, I dont know much about the subsequent editing and yback, but youre all professionals. You must know what the audience likes to watch. Thanks for your hard work. The entire team was stunned. Didnt the audience love to watch the content that needed to be removed? The reporter had already given up onmunicating with Lin Shanchu and turned to ask Qi Cheng, Brother Qi? Did Miss Lin mean that everything can be broadcasted? Qi Cheng was already numb. Of course. Dont you need to ask for President Nans opinion again? Nan Mu had specially called to arrange the interview, and Lin Shanchu was Nan Mus main artist, so she felt that she had to respect Nan Mu. Qi Cheng replied, Thats what President Nan thinks too. He finally understood what Nan Mu meant when he said, As long as she doesnt break thew. President Nan really understood Lin Shanchu. Reporter was bewildered. Had they all gone crazy? Chapter 195 - 195: Third Brother, You Won’t Mind, Right? Chapter 195: Third Brother, You Wont Mind, Right? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Everyone relied on depended on the Inte traffic and poprity to make a living. Since Lin Shanchu had no objections, the interview team were fine with it. As soon as Lin Shanchu and the others left, the interview team took advantage of the poprity on the Inte to release a trailer of Lin Shanchus interview. Netizens swarmed over and urged them to release the interview content. The other Weibo posts that the interview team usually posted had a thousandments at most. As soon as this Weibo message was posted, thements, reposts and likes skyrocketed. Shortly afterwards, there were more than 1,000ments. The team had never seen such a scene before and were all dumbfounded. Since everyone was both thrilled, they posted another Weibo message: [See you tonight for Sister Rabbits interview.] On the way out of the interview venue, Qi Cheng checked his phone from time to time. When he got into the car, he happened to see the interview teams Weibo post. Qi Cheng could not hold hisughter and handed the phone to Lin Shanchu. Theyre going broadcast the interview tonight. Pretty good. Everyone is waiting to see it. Lin Shanchu agreed. Qi Cheng wondered if Lin Shanchu had not figured out the current situation yet. He reminded Lin Shanchu seriously, All theizens might condemn you when the timees. We need to prepare a n now. There have been many people condemning me. Lin Shanchu turned to He Xiang to seek approval. Isnt that so? He Xiang replied, Thats right! Qi Cheng said, Alright. They did not have to do anything, right? He understood it. Qi Cheng sighed and started the car. Lets head back to thepany. At this moment, a tall figure wearing a t hat jumped out of nowhere and blocked the car. The brim of the hat was lowered so much that the face was not clearly visible. Qi Cheng was vignt. He stopped the car while turning on the safety lock. Why did you stop the car? Lin Shanchu raised her head and heard someone knocking on the car window. Lin Shanchu turned to look at the person. The man outside leaned against the car window and pulled up the brim of his hat, revealing his good-looking face. Qi Cheng, who saw the persons face clearly, said in surprise, Huo Chaosheng? Lin Shanchu did not intend to care about Huo Chaosheng, but she changed her mind when she saw the wound on his face. She gestured for Qi Cheng to turn off the safety lock. Huo Chaosheng consciously opened the car door and urged Lin Shanchu, Please scoot over. Lin Shanchu moved to the side. After Huo Chaosheng sat down, he turned his head and wanted to smile at Lin Shanchu, but he identally strained the wound on his lips. Hiss! He held his chin and gasped in pain. Not only was there blood at the corner of his mouth, but his forehead was also swollen red. Didnt you go to Lu Shiyuan to negotiate the signing of the contract? How did you end up like this? Lin Shanchu asked in a gloating tone. Huo Chaosheng snorted upon hearing her words. Stop mentioning Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu blinked her eyes and asked tentatively, Did he beat you up? Huo Chaosheng had a long face. Someone like him? I fell on my own. Oh, you fell Lin Shanchu said in a dragging voice. Lin Shanchu, shut up! Huo Chaosheng was exasperated. Not only did Lin Shanchu not shut her mouth, but she even startedughing disrespectfully. She thought that Huo Chaosheng was so angry because he had lost the fight. How interesting. It turned out that this pervert, Huo Chaosheng, could not beat Lu Shiyuan. Although Huo Chaosheng was a psychopath, he was most decent in normal times as he could not do anything to Lin Shanchu in front of others. He could only turn his head and sulk. He Xiang remembered that Huo Chaosheng had helped Lin Shanchu back at Lu Corporation, so she secretly handed the ointment that Qi Cheng had bought to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu took the ointment and threw it to Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng nced at the ointment and stared thoughtfully at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu, if I hadt gone to Lu Corporation, my face wouldnt have been injured. What does it have to do with me? I went there because of you. What does it have to do with me? This was the first time Huo Chaosheng realized how shameless this woman was. Help me apply the ointment. Feeling upset, he shoved the ointment into Lin Shanchus hand. Lin Shanchu looked at him out of the corner of her eye. Why should I help you apply the ointment? Because we are the same Huo Chaosheng deliberately stopped his speech and sized up Lin Shanchus expression. Friend. We are not friends. Lin Shanchu coldly denied. Immediately, she opened up the ointment and deliberately applied it on Huo Chaoshengs face with great force. Consider it a thank you for helping me stop Lu Shiyuans p. Lin Shanchu had personally experienced the severity of Lu Shiyuans attack. Even though she was pressing down hard on Huo Chaoshengs face, he just frowned and clenched his jaw without making a sound. Lin Shanchu stopped the movement of her hand. You have good endurance. This is the first time a friend helped me apply ointment, so I dont mind you exerting more force, Huo Chaosheng said in a half-joking tone as he smiled. Perverts were more or less stubborn. Lin Shanchu did not bother to argue with him. She weakened the force in her hand and quickly applied the ointment evenly before retracting her hand. Huo Chaosheng looked satisfied. Ill treat you to a meal to thank you for helping me apply the ointment. Without giving Lin Shanchu a chance to refuse him, Huo Chaosheng politely said to Qi Cheng in the driver seat, Brother Qi, please drive to Yong Shui Pavilion. Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu through the rearview mirror and seeked for her opinion with his gaze. Lin Shanchu was about to refuse him, but those words did not fall from her lips because she remembered what the system had said before. The system said that there was nothing perfect in this world. Even the system itself would sometimes make mistakes. Therefore, Lu Shiyuans male lead aura was vulnerable. She could not kill Lu Shiyuan, but it did not mean that others could not do it. Huo Chaosheng, this pervert who had suddenly appeared in the main storyline, was able to intercept Lu Shiyuans p in front of him. He might even be able to kill Lu Shiyuan. The car drove all the way to the entrance of Yong Shui Pavilion. Qi Cheng and He Xiang did not n to go with them, but Huo Chaosheng said with a smile, Lets go together. The more the merrier. His attitude was as warm as it could be. Lin Shanchu saw He Xiang blush. Indeed, Huo Chaosheng had the capital to be likable. Lin Shanchu turned around and said, Lets go together. If Huo Chaosheng wanted to pretend to be generous and gentle, she would fulfill his wish. As expected, Huo Chaosheng raised his eyebrows slightly after listening to her words. The manager personally brought them to a private room. When they arrived at the door of the private room, the manager said, Mr. Huo and the others are already waiting inside. Mr. Huo? Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Chaosheng in confusion. Huo Chaosheng pushed the door open. Then, he turned around and asked Lin Shanchu, Are you surprised? There were already a few people sitting in the private room. The most eye-catching one was the man sitting in the middle. Best Actor Mr. Huo! He Xiang eximed from behind. When Huo Xunzhou heard themotion, he raised his and looked over. His gaze swept across Lin Shanchus face, as if the two of them were not familiar with each other. As Huo Xunzhous gaze fell on Huo Chaoshengs face, he said calmly, Youre here. Huo Chaosheng smiled as he pushed Lin Shanchu forward. I brought Sister Shanshan here.. Third Brother, you wont mind, right? Chapter 196 - 196: I Can Deal With It Myself Chapter 196: I Can Deal With It Myself Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly, looking displeased. He ignored Huo Chaoshengs words. Instead, he shifted his gaze back to Lin Shanchu. Come and sit down. His tone was gentle and polite, sounding a little distant. Lin Shanchu walked over without saying a word. Li MO, who was sitting next to Huo Xunzhou, subconsciously stood up to give up his seat when he saw Lin Shanchuing over. Huo Xunzhou calmly held his arm. Lin Shanchu took a seat opposite Huo Xunzhou. Miss Lin, Li MO greeted her. Lin Shanchu smiled at him. Nan Mu, who was sitting on the other side of Huo Xunzhou, asked Lin Shanchu, Did the interview go well? It went smoothly, Lin Shanchu replied. Although Qi Cheng had attended big assions before, he had never attended such a private dinner with all the big shots. He sat down obediently with He Xiang at the side. Huo Chaosheng was thest to sit down. He sat beside Lin Shanchu. Look at what you want to eat. Huo Xunzhous charming voice sounded deliberately gentle as he handed the menu to Lin Shanchu. When Lin Shanchu looked up at Huo Xunzhou, she was sizing him up. Huo Xunzhou did not usually speak like this. Whether he was happy or not, Huo Xunzhou usually spoke in a very indifferent tone. asionally, there would be some emotional fluctuations and subtle differences in tone. However, one could hardly notice it without listening to it carefully. At this moment, Huo Xunzhous deliberate gentleness did not make her feel close to him. Instead, it made him seem distant. Lin Shanchu took the menu and said, Thank you. Huo Chaosheng stroked his chin and said unhappily, Third Brother, youre biased and dont even give me the menu. Dont you have hands? Huo Xunzhou snorted. Alright, alright, Ill take it myself. Im not as beautiful and doting as Sister Shanshan after all. Although Huo Chaosheng was sighing, there was no hint of unhappiness in his tone. Lin Shanchu calmly heard every word of the conversation between the two people. There was nothing wrong with their conversation. As a bystander, Lin Shanchu even felt that Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng were fairly close brothers. Back in the training camp, Huo Chaosheng would behave himself as soon as Huo Xunzhou opened his mouth. Huo Chaosheng was very disciplined in front of Huo Xunzhou. As for Huo Xunzhous attitude towards Huo Chaosheng Lin Shanchu could not understand them. In short, there was something strange about the way these two brothers got along with each other. Huo Xunzhou was also a little puzzled. Lin Shanchu was annoyed for some reason. She stomped on Huo Chaoshengs foot under the table and said, I told you I have a name. Huo Chaosheng immediately begged for mercy. Alright, alright. I wont call you Sister Shanshan, okay! Lin Shanchu moved her foot away. Huo Chaosheng smiled at her, then turned around and said smugly, You dont know how silly this sister of mine is. When I went to Lu Corporation, she didnt know that Lu Shiyuan was about toy hands on her. Fortunately, I appeared in time to save the damsel in distress! As he spoke, he stared at Huo Xunzhou the entire time, not letting go of any of his expressions. Nan Mu and Li MO looked at Huo Xunzhou at the same time. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and looked at Lin Shanchu with concern. If you need my help, just let me know. Huo Xunzhou was a restrained deep thinker. The more polite and generous he was without concealing himself, the more distant and indifferent one felt about him. Lin Shanchu suddenly understood why she felt that Huo Xunzhou was acting weird. It was because Huo Xunzhou was deliberately distancing himself from her. She thought about it carefully. It seemed that Huo Xunzhou had been deliberately distancing himself from her ever since Huo Chaosheng appeared. However, she also intentionally kept her distance from Huo Xunzhou, so she did not realize this early on. Not only that, Huo Chaosheng had been deliberately testing her rtionship with Huo Xunzhou since just now. When Lin Shanchu figured it out, her tone became cold. I can deal with it myself. Huo Xunzhous expression froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. Thats good. Huo Chaosheng narrowed his eyes and scanned Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu back and forth. However, both their expressions were so cold that Huo Chaosheng could not tell anything in the end. Huo Chaosheng put his hand on Lin Shanchus chair and said with a smile, You can look for me if you need anything. I love helping others the most, especially my beautiful silly sister. Waiter, wed like to order. Lin Shanchu did not deign to deal with this pervert. Huo Chaosheng was not annoyed. Instead, he said with admiration, My sister has a strong character. Lin Shanchu was speechless. What a lunatic! During the dinner, Huo Chaosheng never stopped. He was either helping Lin Shanchu to pick up the food or chatting with others. At first, he talked to Huo Xunzhou, but Huo Xunzhou ignored him. He then talked to Lin Shanchu, but Lin Shanchu ignored him too. He talked to Nan Muter. He did not feel awkward and started chatting with Nan Mu. He looked like a cheerful and talkative normal person. While chatting, he did not forget to continue helping Lin Shanchu pick up the food. Lin Shanchu returned the food to him, but he continued to pick more food for her. The more Lin Shanchu rejected him, the more excited he became. Dont be shy. Eat more. Lin Shanchu was very annoyed. She stared at the bowl in front of her, trying to calm herself down. She realized that her temper was getting worse. If it werent for the fact that there were so many people around, she would have poured the food in the bowl on Huo Chaoshengs head. Just as Huo Chaosheng was about to ce another food that he had picked up into Lin Shanchus bowl, a whim struck her. She passed the food to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment and looked up at Lin Shanchu. However, Lin Shanchu did not look at him. She was smiling at Huo Chaosheng. Youre the younger brother. Why dont you give your third brother some food? Li MO saw his big brother tightened his grip on his chopsticks. Not to mention his big brother, he even felt annoyed for Miss Lin. My third brother Huo Chaosheng turned around with a grin, but he fell silent when he met Huo Xunzhous cold gaze. Eat your meal properly. Huo Xunzhous deep voice was as cold as his eyes. Huo Chaosheng finally calmed down. The dinner ended in a strange harmony. When they left the private room, He Xiang carefully pulled Lin Shanchus arm. Whats wrong? Lin Shanchu asked her. He Xiang said awkwardly, Sister Lin, I I need to go to the restroom. There was also a restroom in the private room, but He Xiang was too embarrassed to go there. It was her first time in a ce like this, and she could not find the restroom for a while. Lin Shanchu was relieved as she said, Ill take you there. She greeted Qi Cheng and took He Xiang to the restroom. She greeted Qi Cheng and took He Xiang to the restroom. She came out of the restroom nd waited for He Xiang outside. He Xiang probably had an upset stomach because she did note out after a long time. Leaning against the wall, Lin Shanchu lowered her head and yed on her phone. By the time she noticed a group of drunkards approaching, someone was going to bump into her. There were too many people blocking the way. Since she had nowhere to hide, so she could only turn her face away and stretch out her arms to protect herself. However, to her surprise, that person did not bump into her. Bang! Lin Shanchu looked at the drunkard lying on the ground. She then turned around with a nk expression, only to see Huo Xunzhou.. Chapter 197 - 197: Take A Detour Whenever You See Her In The Future Chapter 197: Take A Detour Whenever You See Her In The Future Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou sat in a wheelchair with an icy-cold expression on his face. He was sizing her up with his charming eyes, as if he was confirming that she was fine. Lin Shanchu looked at him for two seconds. She then snorted and turned away, ignoring him. Who the f*ck kicked me just now? The drunkard on the ground stumbled to his feet and cursed as he looked around. Then, his gaze fell on Huo Xunzhou. The drunkard pointed at Huo Xunzhou and asked, Did you kick me just now? Lin Shanchu took two steps forward and stood in front of Huo Xunzhou like a protector. How could he kick you when hes like this? The drunkard narrowed his eyes and saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in a wheelchair. So youre a cripple. Lin Shanchu red at the drunkard coldly. Watch your mouth. Hes a cripple to begin with, so why cant others criticize him? The drunkard sneered and tilted his head to look at the man behind Lin Shanchu. Youre hiding behind a woman. Are you still a man? The drunkard sized Huo Xunzhou up and said with a strange smile. Youre probably impotent when youre crippled like this, right? Have you be dumb from drinking alcohol? Lin Shanchu understood the implicit meaning behind the drunkards words and unconsciously rolled up her sleeves with a cold expression. She usually felt that she offended Huo Xunzhou when she spoke to him in a harsh tone. This idiot who came out of nowhere dared to badmouth Huo Xunzhou. When Huo Xunzhou saw Lin Shanchu was about to start a fight, he rxed his frown and curled his lip. He reached out and grabbed Lin Shanchus wrist, pulling her behind him. Its better for a brother to deal with a matter like this. There was a hint of tease and a natural intimacy in his tone, sounding different from his previous deliberate tone. This was the Huo Xunzhou whom she was familiar with. The moment Lin Shanchu was absentminded, Huo Xunzhou pulled her behind him. Lin Shanchu was a little annoyed. Why all of you surnamed Huo always like to be someones brother? Besides, am I that close to you? He pretended to be polite to her earlier, but now he started teasing her again. Men were always troublesome. The smile on Huo Xunzhous face instantly subsided. The drunkard walked towards Lin Shanchu, Whom the f*ck are you calling dumb? Im talking about you! Lin Shanchu was furious, so she turned around to scold the drunkard. You b*tch! The drunkard stumbled towards Lin Shanchu and reached out to grab her. However, Huo Xunzhou stopped his hand as soon as it reached midair. Huo Xunzhou pulled his arm and secured it on the armrest of the wheelchair. He then pressed his other hand down heavily in a hurry. A clear crack sound was heard. You cripple Before the drunkard could finish his words, he fell to his knees and qrrpnmpd Lin Shanchu still had note to her senses. She looked down at the drunkard lying on the ground. The drunkard writhed in pain on the ground. His other arm froze and he dared not move it. Huo Xunzhou bent down and reached out to grab him by the neck before turning his face in Lin Shanchus direction. Take a detour whenever you see her in the future. Huo Xunzhou turned the drunkards face in his direction and asked seriously, Can you do it? Even though Huo Xunzhou was grabbing someone by the neck, his posture remained elegant and decent and his tone was calm and dignified. Yes The drunkard hurriedly said in a hoarse voice, I can, I really can If youre not convinced, feel free to find me. My name is Huo Xunzhou. After Huo Xunzhou calmly introduced himself, he shook him off. Lin Shanchu noticed that he was frowning as he looked at his hand, as if he was somewhat disgusted. On the surface, some people were retired film stars with infinite glory, but behind the scenes, they were petty, vengeful, and had little mysophobia. Big brother. Li MO hurried over. Just as he was about to ask what had happened, he heard Huo Xunzhou say, Take him to the hospital. Oh. Li MO looked dumbfounded as he dragged the drunkard away. Just as Huo Xunzhou was about to turn to look at Lin Shanchu, he realized that someone was pushing the wheelchair behind him. They were heading towards the mens restroom. Lin Shanchu, what are you doing? Huo Xunzhous voice was a little tense. Lin Shanchu said seriously, You did me a great favor just now, so Ill take you to the restroom. I can go to there by myself. No! Im not an ungrateful person. You helped me, so I have to help you, right? Sensing Huo Xunzhous stiffened expression, Lin Shanchu added fuel to the fire by leaning over and whispering in his ear, Brother Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou tightened his grip on the armrest. Two secondster, Huo Xunzhou said in a low voice, Stop fooling around. It seemed that he was admitting defeat. Only then did Lin Shanchu release her hand in satisfaction. Alright, Ill find a chance to repay you in the future. There was no more movement behind him. Huo Xunzhou thought that Lin Shanchu had left. He turned his head to look back, and it just happened that Lin Shanchu, who was behind him, was poking her head and looking at him. The two of them almost collided with each other. Their eyes met as they were caught off guard. Lin Shanchu blinked repeatedly. Is your hand okay? Huo Xunzhou had just broken someones arm barehandedly. He had done it ruthlessly and neatly. He looked dashing. However, his hands were not made of iron, so it was impossible for him to be unscathed. Huo Xunzhou moved his arm under her gaze and said eloquently, Im fine now. Sister Lin! He Xiangs voice came from behind. The expression on Huo Xunzhous face disappeared instantly. He turned around and went into the mens restroom. He Xiang trotted over and blocked Lin Shanchus face before pulling her away. Sister Lin, what are you doing here? Lin Shanchu brushed away He Xiangs hand that was blocking her. What are you trying to block? He Xiang coughed lightly and said euphemistically, There will be repercussions if someone recognizes you. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes as she asked, Do you think Im a pervert? But thats what your gaze is trying to express. When He Xiang came out earlier, she saw Lin Shanchu standing straight in front of mens restroom. She even tried to looking inside, which seemed a little perverted. He Xiang could not refute Lin Shanchu and lowered her head silently. Lin Shanchu hastened her pace angrily. Why did you take so long toe out? Did you fall into a pit? Ill definitely be faster next time. He Xiang was way shorter than Lin Shanchu, so she hastened her pace to catch up to Lin Shanchu. I think you should find some time to consult a doctor. Alright. There was a hospital ten minutes away from Yong Shui Pavilion. After Li MO took the drunkard to the hospital, he quickly returned to Yong Shui Pavilion. Huo Xunzhou was waiting for him in the lounge. When he got closer, he saw that Huo Chaosheng was also there. He was puzzled but did not ask further. He stepped forward and tried to push Huo Xunzhou. However, Huo Chaosheng took the lead. Ill do it. Li MO looked at Huo Xunzhou as he bit his tongue. Huo Xunzhou said calmly, Lets go. After getting into the car, Li MO asked Huo Chaosheng, May I ask where Mr. Huo is going? Huo Chaosheng said with a smile, Hes going to Third Brothers house.. Chapter 198 - 198: When Have I Ever Lied to You? Chapter 198: When Have I Ever Lied to You? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Li MO had aplicated expression on his face when he looked at Huo Xunzhou through the rearview mirror. Huo Chaosheng continued, Its notfortable to stay in a hotel. Anyway, there are only the two of you living in Third Brothers house. I can save a lot of money by moving there, right, Third Brother? Huo Xunzhous eyes were slightly closed. Keep quiet. Oh. Huo Chaosheng obediently remained silent for a few seconds. Third Brother, what do you think of Lin Shanchu? Huo Xunzhou did not open his eyes as if he did not hear him. Huo Chaosheng became even more enthusiastic. I think shes quite interesting. I kind of like her. Li MO sneaked a look at the back. He remembered that Miss Lin treated Huo Chaosheng quite badly. Even so, Huo Chaosheng still liked Miss Lin? Was there something wrong with his mind? Huo Xunzhou said casually, Is that so? Huo Chaosheng, who received a response, was unusually happy. He asked, Yeah, dont you like her? Huo Xunzhou opened his eyes upon hearing those words. He turned to look at Huo Chaosheng. He nced at Huo Chaoshengs face for a moment. How did your face get injured? It seemed that Huo Chaosheng did not expect Huo Xunzhou would change the topic all of a sudden. He was stunned for a moment before he said, I was talking to you about Lin Shanchu, and now youre paying attention to the injury on my face. You dont like her that much? Huo Xunzhou asked persistently, Did Lu Shiyuan do it? Huo Chaosheng stopped smiling probably because he felt embarrassed. He vaguely acknowledged with a hmm. Then, he said unhappily, I was careless this time. Ill beat the crap out of Lu Shiyuan next time. Huo Xunzhou said slowly, Lu Shiyuan is the local tyrant of Xu City. Hes not that easy to deal with. What do you mean? Huo Chaosheng frowned. What Im trying to say is, if you want to deal with Lu Shiyuan Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment. His eyes were so dark that it was hard for one to see through them. Then, he continued, Third Brother can help you. Really? Huo Chaoshengs eyes gleamed. When have I ever lied to you? Huo Xunzhous face looked calm without any fluctuating emotions. Huo Chaosheng replied happily, Alright! Lin Shanchu followed Nan Mu back to Tianzhou Media. Qi Cheng told Nan Mu about the content of the interview. Nan Mu fell into a long silence after listening to him. Lin Shanchu sat opposite him and asked with a smile, President Nan, is there anything you want to say? If not, I have to attend an event in the afternoon. When Nan Mu heard that she was going to attend an event in the afternoon, he felt his temples throb and his head hurt badly. Ive already informed the event organizer. You dont have to go. What you need now is rest. He had a lot of things he wanted to say, but thisdy did not listen to him at all. I dont have to go? Lin Shanchu looked innocent as her eyes widened. But my schedule is so full. I still have to rush for other endorsements. Nan Mu was on the verge of tears. I admit that I spoke a little too loudly just now. Just ignore the schedule and forget about it! Lin Shanchu asked, How can I do that? Nan Mu said, You have to! Lin Shanchu replied, Deal! Nan Mu was speechless. Nan Mu had filled Lin Shanchus schedule to the brim just to test how much work capacity Lin Shanchu could ept. When he was Huo Xunzhous manager, Huo Xunzhou could always decide and solve everything himself. He always felt that he had no chance to disy his prowess. Secondly, he had filled up Lin Shanchus schedule because he wanted her to get popr faster and to prove his own strength. In the end, he was the one being taken advantage of. Nan Mu sighed. You can decide on your own work arrangements in the future. You can take on whichever you want. Lin Shanchu replied, Thank you, President Nan. Nan Mu reluctantly asked Lin Shanchu, Is there really nothing I can do? Lin Shanchu replied, Not for now. Ille and ask you a favor if I need anything in the future. Alright then. Nan Mu felt very regretful. Could it be that he had no opportunities to disy his prowess for the rest of his life? Suddenly, Nan Mu remembered the strange atmosphere between Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu at the dinner table today. Nan Mu hinted frantically to Lin Shanchu. Do you have anything else you want to ask me? Huh? Lin Shanchu did not understand his question. Nan Mu gestured for He Xiang and Qi Cheng to leave. Once they left, Nan Mu leaned forward and asked mysteriously, Dont you think Xunzhous attitude towards you has changed recently? Lin Shanchu nodded honestly. Yeah, I can sense it. Nan Mu asked, Dont you want to know why? Lin Shanchu tilted her head and thought for a while before she answered, Its because of Huo Chaosheng. How did you know? Nan Mu looked at her in disbelief. Because I have a brain, Lin Shanchu said with a serious look while holding her chin. Dont you think youre making me look less smarter? Nan Mu looked intently at her. Lin Shanchuughed emotionlessly. Nan Mu felt that he had humiliated himself. However, he would not admit defeat easily. Then tell me, why is Xunzhou so cold to you because of Huo Chaosheng? He did not believe that Lin Shanchu could guess the answer. Because Huo Chaosheng is a pervert. He will hurt the people close to Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchus tone carried an imperceptible temptation. You Nan Mu was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time. Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows. Am I right? Nan Mus expression became serious. Your answer is pretty close. Lin Shanchu sighed. So thats the case How did you guess it? Nan Mu could not ept the fact that he had been outsmarted. Lin Shanchu slowly mentioned a name, Yun Wu. Nan Mu raised his eyebrows and motioned Lin Shanchu to continue. Yun Wu is very afraid of Huo Chaosheng. Shes Huo Xunzhous cousin, but she deliberately keeps a distance from him. This information coupled with the sudden change in Huo Xunzhous attitude towards her naturally led her to think that everything was rted to Huo Chaosheng. Nan Mu looked hesitated as his lips twitched slightly. Xunzhous family affairs are a littleplicated. He will definitely tell you when the time is right, so I wont say more. Lin Shanchu fell silent. Why should he tell her about Huo Xunzhous family affairs? She did not need to know about his family affairs. Nan Mu seemed to have thought of something and said seriously, Regarding Xunzhous legs You must never let Huo Chaosheng know the truth. After finished his words, he stared at Lin Shanchu as if he wanted a guarantee. Understood, Lin Shanchu replied seriously. Lin Shanchu knew well that in the future, she and Huo Xunzhou would not have any deeper interactions. However, she could not help but think about Huo Xunzhou on the way back. Huo Xunzhou was not the kind of person who would be easily coerced by others. Moreover, judging from the rtionship between Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng, Huo Chaosheng was the one at a disadvantage. Huo Xunzhou could easily intimidate Huo Chaosheng, whereas Huo Chaosheng was a little afraid of Huo Xunzhou. In that case, why did Huo Xunzhou have to indulge Huo Chaosheng? Chapter 199 - 199: Shanshan Was Really Polite Chapter 199: Shanshan Was Really Polite Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Theizens were waiting for He Yue Entertainment to release Lin Shanchus interview. The official ount of He Yue Entertainment originally had a few million followers, but the number of followers skyrocketed in just one afternoon, reaching more than ten million. There were nearly a millionments urging for updates under the Weibo post of [Sister Rabbits interview, see you tonight]. Qi Cheng had been paying attention to the situation on the Inte. This huge amount of attention made him a little worried. He Yue Entertainment released a teaser: [Launch at 8 p.m. sharp.] Qi Cheng could no longer sit still, so he decided to talk to Lin Shanchu again. You should understand that your response to the incident of beating Tang Qidai in the exclusive interview doesnt hold water. Yeah. Lin Shanchu looked at Qi Cheng, knowing that he had something else to say. Once the interview goes online, it will be the point of no return for us no matter what the oue is. Qi Cheng still felt that it was too risky to release Lin Shanchus exclusive interview and wanted to persuade her to y it safe. Lin Shan rested her head on one hand and said thoughtfully, Us? Thisdys focus was really special. Qi Cheng smiled helplessly as he said, Of course its us. You, me, and He Xiang. Were all a team. Lin Shanchu nodded her head as realization dawned on her. Since were a team, shouldnt there be some basic trust among us? Its not that I dont trust you, said Qi Cheng. I just think its too risky. All the poprity and audience appeal youve umted with great difficulty might go to waste. Before Lin Shanchu was eliminated, he had read through her past information. It was not easy for Lin Shanchu to get to where she was today. Its not that serious. Lin Shanchu looked calm as sheforted Qi Cheng. If things go south, Ill just retire and return to Lu Corporation to be President Lin. Qi Cheng was speechless. At 8 p.m. sharp, He Yue Entertainment released the exclusive interview with Lin Shanchu on their own tform. As a result, as soon as the exclusive interview went online, the software crashed due to the surge of visitors. Theizens could only urge under the post of He Yue Entertainments official ount: [I want to see Lin Shanchus exclusive interview in three minutes!] [Dont you know thorough understanding of Sister Rabbits poprity?] [Be more conscious and repair it faster. Dont force to me kneel down and beg you!] [I want to see Sister Rabbit, I want to see Sister Rabbit, I want to see Sister Rabbit] Theizens made He Yue Entertainment to the trending search list. Some agileizens had watched the content of the interview and expressed their views on Weibo: [Ive waited for an entire afternoon. Im very disappointed with Lin Shanchus response. Back when Tang Qidai visited the set of My Stage, Lin Shanchu fell out with her in public. After gaining enough poprity, she imed that its her private matter. She wants to have her cake and eat it. Her response turns out to be in vain. Ill be an anti-fan] The marketing ounts that were riding on the poprity quickly followed suit. As the software was repaired, more and moreizens saw the content of the exclusive interview with Lin Shanchu. The controversy also kept growing. [As expected of President Lin. She even dares to say things like I hope the person I hate will die soon.] [Lin Shanchu, this woman is really kind of crazy.] [LMAO! I dream of the ones who hurt me getting killed by a car, Ill be on cloud nine for an entire day. D*mn, I suddenly feel that shes so cute!] [Ive finished watching the exclusive interview. Lin Shanchu didnt even respond directly to Tang Qidais beating. Shes extremely arrogant. This kind of person should quit the entertainment industry.] [This is the so-called responsible Sister Rabbit. She has only been popr for a few days, and shes already got carried away? She wont be far from being a duck.] Lin Shanchu ended up on the trending search list after getting scolded by theizens. Qi Cheng called He Xiang as soon as he found out about this. Dont let Shanshan surf the Inte. Iming over now. Got it. He Xiang naturally agreed to Qi Chengs instructions. However, when Qi Cheng arrived at Lin Shanchus house, she was leaning on a recliner and scrolling through Weibo. Qi Chengs expression changed slightly as he whispered to He Xiang, Didnt I tell you to put her phone away? Before He Xiang could speak, Lin Shanchus voice was heard, Brother Qi Cheng, youre here. Qi Cheng thought for a moment before he asked, Are you ying on your phone? Im looking at thements. Lin Shanchu even showed Qi Cheng her phone screen. Theyre all scolding me. Qi Cheng sized up Lin Shanchu from head to toe. He heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that there was no trace of sorrow on her face. Feeling relieved, he asked, What do you n to do next? Lin Shanchu threw her phone aside and said slowly, Wait. Wait for what? Qi Cheng asked. Lin Shanchu said with a smile, Im waiting for the fish to take the bait. When Nan Mu found out that Lin Shanchu was on the trending search list due to condemnation, his first reaction was to phone Lin Shanchu and ask her how she nned to end this fiasco. However, just as he took out his phone, he remembered that Lin Shanchu had outsmarted him in the office in the afternoon. If Lin Shanchu had a foolproof n, he would be crushed again if he called again. Did he not care about his dignity? Therefore, he dialed Huo Xunzhous number. Huo Xunzhou was so smart, he must have figured out Lin Shanchus n. Anyway, Huo Xunzhou had outsmarted him so many times that he was already used to it. He was not afraid of doing it again. As soon as Huo Xunzhou picked up the phone, Nan Mu asked directly, Lin Shanchu is being condemned on the trending search list. What do you think she wants? After Nan Mu finished asking, he asked btedly, Have you watched her exclusive interview? On the other end of the phone, the tablet in front of Huo Xunzhou suddenly stopped at Lin Shanchus exclusive interview page. The sound of the door opening came from outside. Huo Xunzhou closed the exclusive interview page and opened an email. Just wait and see. Nan Mu looked confused. What are we waiting for? Almost all theizens are condemning her now. Ill just hang up the phone if theres nothing else. Hello? Nan Mu looked at the phone that had been hung up and felt that he had asked him for nothing. After hanging up the phone, Huo Xunzhou looked up and saw Huo Chaosheng. Third Brother, Lin Shanchu is being condemned and is on the trending search list. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou responded emotionlessly and just lowered his eyes to focus on reading his email. Huo Chaosheng sized Huo Xunzhou up seriously. Arent you going to help her? Huo Xunzhous tone was cold. I told you before that she can ask me a favor if she ever needs help. He implied that he would not meddle in Lin Shanchus affairs as long as she didnt ask for his help. Tch! Huo Chaosheng clicked his tongue. No wonder no women like you! You deserve to be single. Huo Chaosheng shook his head and turned to leave. As he walked, he took out his phone and called Lin Shanchu. Silly girl, Ill help you deal with the matter on the Inte if you call me brother. When Huo Xunzhou heard those words, his expression froze. His eyes were fixed on a certain line in the email. It was unknown what the person on the other end had said, but he heard Huo Chaosheng ask in confusion, What time is it now, and youre already telling me to rest early Rest early? Huo Xunzhou curled his lip. Shanshan was really polite and tactful when it came to teasing others.. Chapter 200 - 200: Whom the Gods Would Destroy, They First Make Mad Chapter 200: Whom the Gods Would Destroy, They First Make Mad Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion On the other end of the phone, Lin Shanchu said in a serious tone, How can you dream if you dont sleep? She did not expect Huo Chaosheng would be the first person to call her after the incident. Dream? Huo Chaosheng btedly realized that Lin Shanchu was scolding him for having wishful thinking. However, he was not angry because Lin Shanchu was the friend he had chosen. He liked to see the look on Lin Shanchu when she could not get rid of him even though she disliked him. Huo Chaosheng seriously reasoned with Lin Shanchu. In terms of age, Im older than you. Moreover, Ive helped you before, but why are you unwilling to call me brother no matter what? Do you think youre worthy? Lin Shanchus serious tone did not carry a hint of mockery. It was just a normal questioning tone. Huo Chaosheng was a little angry. At the same time, hispetitive spirit was aroused. Ill make you yield and call me brother sooner orter. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. He was not even angry? As expected, Huo Chaoshengs brain worked differently from normal people. Just you wait! Huo Chaosheng hung up the phone after saying that. He Xiang was a little worried when she saw Lin Shanchu sitting there in a daze after the phone call. Sister Lin, you Are you alright? Lin Shanchu could tell that He Xiang was worried. Its nothing. Its a call from a psychopath. Rest early. We have to deal with many things tomorrow. He Xiang bit her tongue. Alright. She was also considered a member of the entertainment industry. With Lin Shanchus current situation, it was hard to tell if she would be able to get a job in the future. Seeing how optimistic Lin Shanchu was, she could not say anything more. Lin Shanchu was condemned for the entire night. The next morning, the topics condemning her were still on the trending search list. Kong Suyi rushed to Tang Qidais house early in the morning and told her about the incident. Shes courting death. Whom can she me? Tang Qidai had a contemptuous look on her face when she talked about Lin Shanchu. She knew that b*tch, Lin Shanchu, would never be able to defeat her. It was just a stroke of luck that Lin Shanchu managed to ride high previously. Judging from this incident, she could tell that b*tch Lin Shanchu was still as stupid as before. Kong Suyi also hated Lin Shanchu, Ive watched her exclusive interview. She has her nose in the air and dares to say anything. She deserves to be condemned by theizens. Its been a night, and the PR on Lin Shanchus side hasnt taken any action. Does that mean shes out of ideas? Should we use this chance to add fuel to the fire and take down that b*tch Lin Shanchu? Kong Suyi mentioned this incident to Tang Qidai after Lin Shanchu had ended up on the trending search list due to condemnationst night. Tang Qidai had be more cautious after suffering a few losses because of Lin Shanchu. She chose to wait and see instead of making a move immediately. After pondering for a while, Tang Qidai asked, Have you taken care of thepanys surveince cameras and the employees phones at the scene? Kong Suyi smiled as she said, Its been dealt with immediately. President Lu even ordered someone to deal with it. Dont worry. Its been properly taken care of. Tang Qidai smiled and said softly, This time, we have to trample Lin Shanchu no matter what. Daidai, dont worry. That b*tch wont be able to turn things around this time! In addition to condemning Lin Shanchu, theizens also went to Tang Qidais Weibo to console her and symphatize with her grievance. Manyizens even asked Tang Qidai to speak out. After waiting for a night, theizens finally received a response from the other person involved in the incident the next morning. Tang Qidai stirred emotions with her response. [Shanshan and I have been friends for many years. Putting aside my identity as a celebrity, were also ordinary people in front of our friendship. Well get angry and argue before we are reconciled. These private matters shouldnt have been made public to disturb everyone. I hope everyone can pay more attention to my work] In thetter half of the Weibo post, Tang Qidai took the opportunity to promote the new drama that would beunched soon. This new drama was the one that had been postponed because of the text message incident. Compared to Lin Shanchus response in the exclusive interview, Tang Qidais Weibo post seemed to be more sincere. Manyizens began to side with Tang Qidai. [Tang Qidais positive response has made favorable impression on me.] [One can judge the obvious difference byparing the two sides.] [Would the responsible Sister Rabbit dare toe out and show herself?] [Come to think of it, theres a reason why Lu Shiyuan is so nice to Tang Qidai. Who doesnt like such an considerate girl?] [Lin Shanchu,e out and apologize!] Tang Qidai had earned quite a bit of poprity with this Weibo post. She had originally wanted to take advantage of this incident to trample Lin Shanchu. Coupled with the fact that theizens were on her side, she naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity. She ordered someone to arrange for the Inte trolls to start stirring things up uncontrobly. In just one morning, the Inte was filled with insults directed at Lin Shanchu. Apart from condemning Lin Shanchu, they even insulted her parents. Theizens insulted her again with words like jinx your parents. It was as if they had returned to the dark age before Lin Shanchu participated in My Stage. When He Xiang saw thements, she cried out of anger. She dared not cry in front of Lin Shanchu, fearing that she would make her even sadder. After He Xiang finished crying in her room, she came out to look for Lin Shanchu. Sister Lin, you Hearing He Xiangs voice, Lin Shanchu raised her head. Looking at Lin Shanchus face tha showed no signs of sadness, He Xiang could not say anything tofort her. When Lin Shanchu saw He Xiangs eyes were red-rimmed, she said in surprise, Whats wrong with you? He Xiang shook her head subconsciously, and then asked in confusion, Are you alright? Im fine at home. What else can happen to me? Lin Shanchu tilted her head and sized up He Xiang. A momentter, she came to her senses. You couldnt have Did you cry out of anger while reading thements? He Xiang was speechless. Lin Shanchu could not helpughing. Really? He Xiang was a little sad as soon as she mentioned thements on the Inte. She sniffed hard and sobbed as she asked, Sister Lin, what exactly is your n? Can you tell me first? She was really worried about Lin Shanchu. Before she became Tang Qidais assistant, she hated Lin Shanchu. After bing Tang Qidais assistant and discovering her true colors, He Xiangs opinion of Lin Shanchu changed. After getting to know her, she realized that Lin Shanchu was a really good person. Lin Shanchu first handed He Xiang a tissue. After He Xiang took it, Lin Shanchu said softly, Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. Oh. He Xiang looked confused. This time, it was Lin Shanchus turn to be surprised. You understood the meaning? No, I dont. He Xiang shook her head and said seriously, Although I dont understand it, this quote sounds quite amazing. Lin Shanchu was speechless. He Xiang scratched her head awkwardly. Anyway, you must have a solution, right? Actually, its not considered a solution Lin Shanchu turned to look at the phone screen and muttered, She should be calling me soon Chapter 201 - 201: You Will Retire From the Entertainment Industry And Then We Will Hold a Wedding Chapter 201: You Will Retire From the Entertainment Industry And Then We Will Hold a Wedding Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiang was shocked by Lin Shanchus words. What do you mean by its not considered a solution? As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shanchus phone rang. Lin Shanchu gestured with her finger to shushHe Xiang before picking up the phone. Didnt you say that you have other ways? Tang Qidai has just finished promoting her new drama and is close to getting the new endorsement. Why havent you made any move? The caller was Qiao Jiaxi. She did not even give Lin Shanchu a chance to speak and questioned her as soon as she opened her mouth. Qiao Jiaxi had been waiting for the drama to unfold since Lin Shanchus exclusive interview yesterday. Lin Shanchu had defeated Tang Qidai a few times before. In addition to Lin Shanchus confident look, Qiao Jiaxi thought that Lin Shanchu would overwhelm Tang Qidai again this time. She ended up waiting for the entire night and the whole morning, only to see Tang Qidai actively riding on the poprity of the exclusive interview to garner support from theizens. Lin Shanchu did not show any response, as if she was as good as dead. Qiao Jiaxi was jealous of Tang Qidai, so she couldnt help but call Lin Shanchu to question her about this incident. Lin Shanchu patiently waited for Qiao Jiaxi to finish vent her frustration before she sighed. Actually, Tang Qidai is right. Weve been old friends for many years, so there is still some nostalgia. When He Xiang next to her heard those eyes, her eyes widened. Even though she had just gotten along with Lin Shanchu for a few days, she was certain that there was no nostalgia between Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai. Otherwise, Lin Shanchu would not have smacked Tang Qidais face at thepany on that day. What do you mean? Qiao Jiaxi shrieked. Are you nning to endure it just like this? Are you alright? Youre just going to let Tang Qidai ride roughshod over you like this? Shes going to trample over you to get to the top! Do you think you can swallow your pride? Lin Shanchus voice sounded a little depressed. Thats her ability, right? You Qiao Jiaxi still refused to give up. Come out, well meet and talk about She had the video in her hands. If the two of them met, she would definitely be able to convince Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu rejected her in a gentle voice. Some other day. I already have an appointment today. Qiao Jiaxi asked, Havent you seen how thoseizens condemning you? And yet, you still have the mood to meet someone else? Although Im not in the mood to go out, Lu Shiyuan asked me out after all. I have to meet him, alright? Lin Shanchu sounded helpless, as if she had no choice. Qiao Jiaxi had was speechless and could only give up. Lu Shiyuan only had Tang Qidai in his heart. He must have wanted to meet Lin Shanchu so that he could persuade her to give up. Qiao Jiaxi was annoyed because she could no longer count on Lin Shanchu. If Tang Qidai was capable of getting to the top with just a Weibo post, then if she could make use of the video in her hands to gain poprity in the industry, wouldnt that also be considered her ability? After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu held the phone in her hands and yed on it. He Xiang asked, President Lin, when did President Lu ask you to meet him? She had always been with Lin Shanchu, but she had never heard her mention it. Hell call me to ask me out soon, Lin Shanchu said in a firm tone and curled her lips. Now that theizens were condemning her, Lu Shiyuan naturally would not let go of this opportunity to kick her when she was down. Lu Shiyuan would definitely take this opportunity to negotiate with her, threaten and bribe her, and lock her back into that cage in the Lu family to satisfy his superior desire to control her. He Xiang knew how well Lu Shiyuan treated Tang Qidai. She had a feeling that it was not a good thing for Lin Shanchu to meet Lu Shiyuan. He Xiang pondered for a moment and said, Sister Lin, Im willing to step in and helD vou clean vour name if necessarv. After all. Im the root cause of this incident. Its not time for you to show yourself yet. Just as Lin Shanchus voice fell, her phone rang. Lu Shiyuan called her. Lin Shanchu picked up the phone and put him on speaker. Lu Shiyuans voice came from the phone. Come out and meet me. Ill get Zhou Yan to pick you up. As if he was certain that Lin Shanchu would not reject him, he hung up the phone after saying those words. It was very much in line with Lu Shiyuans personality. He was always high and mighty. He was so conceited that he thought that everything was under his control. Sister Lin, youre amazing. He Xiang was secretly amazed that Lin Shanchu could even guess that Lu Shiyuan wanted to meet her. Pack up and get ready to leave. Lin Shanchu stood up and walked out. He Xiang quickly took her bag and keys and followed Lin Shanchu. As soon as she left the house, she thought of something else. How does President Lu know where you live? Lin Shanchu did not stop walking. In Xu City, Lu Shiyuan can find out everything like the back of his hand. He Xiang suddenly realized. I see. By the way. Lin Shanchu suddenly stopped. Tell Brother Qi and ask him to find a few reporters. Alright. The two of them walked out of the neighborhood and saw Zhou Yan. Lin Shanchu had just moved over. Nan Mu had done a good job keeping it a secret, so her address had not been leaked yet. There were no reporters at the entrance. Lu Shiyuan asked her to meet him at a western restaurant. Lu Shiyuan booked the entire restaurant. When Lin Shanchu entered the restaurant, Lu Shiyuan was already sitting at the dining table. His brows furrowed slightly as his gaze lingered on Lin Shanchus dreamy blue princess cut for a moment. Why did she have to turn her nice hair into something nondescript? However, when he thought that Lin Shanchu was now at the end of her rope and that he was the only one who could step in and help her calm the storm, his expression softened a little. When the time came, she would not dare to refuse him if he wanted her to follow him back to the Lu family obediently, let alone a small matter like dyeing her nondescript hair back to ck. Thinking of this, Lu Shiyuan felt rxed. He stood up in a good mood and wanted to pull out the chair for Lin Shanchu. Unexpectedly, Lin Shanchu had anticipated his prediction. She was one step ahead of him and quickly pulled the chair out with rough movements. The chair made an ear-piercing sound as its legs rubbed against the ground. Lu Shiyuan was a little unhappy with Lin Shanchus rude actions, but she had already sat down. Lin Shanch sat in afortable posture andzily leaned back in the chair with a hint of impatience, ignoring her image. Tell me, what is it? In Lu Shiyuans memory, Lin Shanchu had always been a gentlewoman since she was a child. She spoke softly and behaved gracefully. It was a world of difference between Lin Shanchu in front of him and her past self. However, it did not matter. There was still a long way to go. Lin Shanchu would soon be the same as before. Lu Shiyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and turned around to sit down. You dont have to pretend to be calm in front of me. Im the only one who can help you now. Lu Shiyuans eyes revealed a hint of pride. Help me? Lin Shanchuughed as if she had heard a hrious joke. Lu Shiyuans face darkened as he said generously, Lin Shanchu, Im giving you thest chance. As long as youre willing to admit your mistake, Ill help you! After the matter is settled, you will retire from the entertainment industry and then we will hold a wedding.. Chapter 202 - 202: Reveal the Truth Chapter 202: Reveal the Truth Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lu Shiyuan put on a high and mighty stance as if he were a king. He wanted her to admit her mistake, quit the entertainment industry, and hold a wedding with her. All of this was like a gift to her. If she dared to refuse him, she would be ungrateful and reach a dead end. Hahahaha Lin Shanchu could not hold back herughter, such that she could not even straighten her back. She rested her head on the dining table for a while before she managed to suppressughter. Lu Shiyuans voice was filled with anger. What are youughing at? Instead of answering him, Lin Shanchu asked, How are you going to help me? Lu Shiyuan thought that Lin Shanchu had finally epted reality and was ready to give in, so his tone softened a little. You dont have to worry about that. I have my ways. After he finished speaking, he stared coldly at Lin Shanchu, waiting for her to lower her head and admit her mistake. If you can kick Tang Qidai out of the entertainment industry and make her a target of scorn, I may consider showing you respect for the sake of our rtionship. Lin Shanchupletely suppressed the expression on her face as her gaze darkened. Even though her voice sounded as gentle as usual, she could not conceal the intimidating aura around her. Youre going to show me respect? Lu Shiyuan sneered, Lin Shanchu, are you still refuse to face reality at this point? Lin Shanchu reached out to hold her forehead with impatience written all over her face. Lu Shiyuan, Tang Qidai is the one at fault in this incident after all. She was the one who started it. If everyone knew the truth, Tang Qidai would end up worse than I am now. You know that, right? Lu Shiyuan was unimpressed. The truth? You arent the one to decide it. He had ordered someone to take care of the surveince cameras and employees in thepany. The so-called truth that Lin Shanchu had mentioned would never appear. Lin Shanchu was not frustrated. Instead, she continued to speak calmly. Since childhood, youve been condoning everything that Tang Qi has done to me. Youre well aware, arent you? A trace of guilt shed across Lu Shiyuans eyes. He was aware of what Tang Qidai had done, but in his opinion, it was not a serious matter. Therefore, he had never taken it to heart and always told Lin Shanchu not to argue with Tang Qidai. I admit that Ive indulged Qidai a little, but youve always been my fiance. What are you dissatisfied with? Lu Shiyuan did not think that he had treated Lin Shanchu harshly. On the contrary, Lin Shanchu was ungrateful and had colluded with others to set him up on multiple assions. Have you watched my exclusive interview? Lin Shanchu suddenly changed the topic. Lu Shiyuan kept up with her pace slowly. If you had spoken more intelligently during the exclusive interview, you wouldnt have ended up like this. Lu Shiyuan had not changed at all. He did not take her words seriously at all. Lin Shanchu looked at him coldly. Im telling the truth. I hope that the people who hurt me will die soon. Lu Shiyuan was stunned by her hateful gaze and was momentarily at a loss for words. Lin Shanchu had been holding her phone ever since she entered the restaurant. While Lu Shiyuan was lost in thought, she turned on Weibo and clicked on Qiao Jiaxis homepage. Qiao Jiaxistest Weibo post was posted a minute ago, containing texts and a video: [I didnt want to expose this video at first because President Lin said that she disagreed to reveal the truth and cherished the old rtionship. However, a person has to be conscientious. Back then, President Lin gave me this opportunity to sign me with Lu Corporation. Im very grateful to her. I cant just watch President Lin bear the infamy. Even if Tang Qidai is my cousin, I shall reveal the truth to the public] The video of that day was under the message. Qiao Jiaxi had sent this video to Lin Shanchu before. Therefore, Lin Shanchu knew that it was the full video of Tang Qidai attacking He Xiang on the day of the incident just by looking at the video length without clicking on it. Qiao Jiaxi was finally smart for once. This Weibo post was even more sincere and sentimental than Tang Qidais. While Qiao Jiaxi showed her loyalty, she also dragged Lin Shanchu down. Lin Shanchu knew what she was up to. Even if she could not bring Tang Qidai down this time, she would not pin the me on Qiao Jiaxi. Instead, she would pin the me on Lin Shanchu. Qiao Jiaxi had be a good person and gained some reputation, riding another wave of poprity. She waspletely following in Tang Qidais footsteps. She was pretty good. Lin Shanchu put away her phone and looked up with a smile. Lu Shiyuan, you dont know, right? I often dream of you getting killed by a car when you go out. She spoke in a gentle voice with a smile on her face. Lu Shiyuan felt a chill down his spine. When he watched the exclusive interview, he did not expect that the person who hurt her turned out to be him. When have I ever mistreated you all these years? Lu Shiyuan was furious. Lin Shanchu did not want to talk nonsense with him anymore. She got up and walked out without looking back. Seeing that, Lu Shiyuan chased after her. Lin Shanchu, stop right there! Exin yourself! He thought that he had treated her well, so why did she hate him so much? Lin Shanchu walked very quickly. When she reached the door, she turned around and saw that Lu Shiyuan had not followed her. Then, she deliberately slowed down. Lu Shiyuan did not notice Lin Shanchus little action at all. He went forward and grabbed her. Exin yourself! Lin Shanchus cold face suddenly revealed a smile. Lu Shiyuan vaguely felt that something was wrong. However, Lin Shanchu did not give him a chance to think. Ive already promised you that I wont release the video. What else do you want? Lin Shanchu looked at Lu Shiyuan with tears in her eyes. What? Lin Shanchus expression changed so quickly that Lu Shiyuan could not react in time. At this moment, a group of reporters suddenly surrounded them. The reporters from the entertainment industry had been looking for Lin Shanchu sincest night. Lin Shanchu had never shown up. Now that the reporters had finally caught Lin Shanchu in person, they naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity. The reporters were also the most well-informed. They already knew that Qiao Jiazhi had released the full video. Lin Shanchu, do you know that Qiao Jiaxi has posted a video on Weibo for rification? Qiao Jiaxi said that you didnt agree to reveal the truth because you care about your old rtionship, is that true? Youve had the full video in your hands, but you never responded out loud. Is it because youre still concerned about your old rtionship with Tang Qidai, just like Qiao Jiaxi said? Lin Shanchu, can you answer us? Despite the reporters inquiries, Lin Shanchu seemed to be in a sorrowful state and did not hear anything. Lu Shiyuan, thats enough! This is thest time Ill condone Tang Qidai! Tears rolled down Lin Shanchus face as she sounded almost hysterical. Lu Shiyuan looked at the reporters who had suddenly surrounded him and vaguely understood something. What nonsense are you spouting? he chided Lin Shanchu. The reporters were stunned by this huge amount of information. A momentary silence fell upon the scene now. A daring reporter asked cautiously, Lin Shanchu, did Lu Shiyuan stop you from publicizing the full video? Chapter 203 - 203: For a Long Time, I’ve Treated Tang Qjdai as a Precious Person in My Life Chapter 203: For a Long Time, Ive Treated Tang Qjdai as a Precious Person in My Life Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As soon as this question was raised, the scene became even quieter. Camera shutter sounds could be heard clearly. Everyone was afraid of Lu Shiyuan, so no one dared to speak again. However, they refused to leave in order to get the first-hand news. It was then that Zhou Yan ran over from the opposite side. President Lu! Zhou Yan and He Xiang had been guarding outside after Lin Shanchu entered the restaurant. Zhou Yan had gone to buy a bottle of water. When he came back, he saw Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan being surrounded by reporters at the entrance of the restaurant. Zhou Yan ran over and squeezed through the crowd. Everyone, please move aside. President Lu doesnt ept interviews. Lu Shiyuan went out without any bodyguards today. Since the reporters did not make way for Zhou Yan, he was unable to squeeze through the crowd alone. Sister Lin! He Xiang followed closely behind him. A keen-eyed reporter realized that He Xiang was the other person involved in the video. Shes the girl hit by Tang Qidai in the video! The reporters were afraid of Lu Shiyuan, so they did not dare to go forward and interview him. However, He Xiang was just a normal person, so they naturally had no scruples. The reporters had surrounded He Xiang with no way out before she could react. Are you Lin Shanchus assistant? Why did Tang Qidai hit you? Do you know why Lin Shanchu didnt publish the full video? The reporters attention shifted to He Xiang. Zhou Yan took the opportunity to squeeze through the crowd and reach Lu Shiyuan. President Lu! Lu Shiyuan ignored him and kept staring at Lin Shanchu. What a good n. He gritted his teeth as those words fell from his lips. It was a trap from the very beginning. This was a trap that Lin Shanchu had specifically set for him and Tang Qidai. Everything was within Lin Shanchus n, from the exclusive interview to the point where theizens condemned her. It was to create the illusion that she was at the end of her rope. Lu Shiyuan had also wondered if Lin Shanchu still had some tricks up her sleeve. Hepletely let his guard after Tang Qidai had won the sympathy and support of theizens by ying the sympathy card on Weibo and Lin Shanchu did not make a move. Lin Shanchu cared about her parents very much. She could not just stand by and watch theizens criticize her parents. If she ever had evidence to refute them, she would have used it to clear her name. He lost again this time. It was an utter defeat. It seemed that he had always underestimated her. The tears on Lin Shanchus face had not dried yet and her eyes were filled with sorrow. She just stood there doing nothing and exuding a pure temperament tinged with delicacy, breaking everyones heart. Whats done is done Lin Shanchu sniffed and her weeping voice was filled with disappointment. Youd better go and find Tang Qidai first. She did not need to use any more sentimental words to express her emotions. A simple sentence was enough to make people feel her sadness and disappointment. Lu Shiyuan had seen Lin Shanchus sad and disappointed look countless times. Lin Shanchu, who was in front of him, looked sadder and more disappointed than ever. However, Lu Shiyuan knew very clearly that it was fake this time. Lin Shanchu was neither sad nor upset. He could even vaguely feel the joy in her heart. Lin Shanchu took a deep look at him before walking towards the group of reporters. Lu Shiyuans gaze followed her. She straightened her back and walked calmly. It was the stance of a victor. President Lu, lets go, Zhou Yan reminded him. The current situation was very disadvantageous to Lu Shiyuan. Zhou Yan could also tell that Lin Shanchu had tricked Lu Shiyuan again. He understood Lu Shiyuans temper. If Lu Shiyuan failed to control his temper and did something out of line in front of so many reporters, it would be even harder to clean up the mess. Just as Zhou Yan was thinking about it, Lu Shiyuan turned around and left without saying a word. Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment and quickly followed him. Lin Shanchu curled her lip imperceptibly when she saw the two of them leaving in a hurry out of the corner of her eye. She looked up and shouted at the reporters, Just ask me anything directly. Dont make things difficult for my assistant. He Xiang was in a dilemma as she was being surrounded by the reporters. As soon as Lin Shanchu finished speaking, the reporters surrounding He Xiang quickly dispersed. Now that things had developed to this point, everyone was not concerned about the victim, He Xiang, but they cared about the grudge among Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu walked past the crowd and gave aforting look to He Xiang before answering the reporters questions. Did you just say that Qiao Jiaxi posted a video on Weibo to clear my name? Lin Shanchus skin was fair and her eyes were still red-rimmed from crying just now, making her look even more fragile and innocent. When the reporters saw her face, they lowered their voices quite a bit when they asked questions. Among them were reporters who had interviewed Lin Shanchu before. Before Lin Shanchu could speak, they had taken the initiative and passed their phones to Lin Shanchu. Qiao Jiaxi just posted it. Please take a look. Thank you. Lin Shanchu took the phone and seriously watched the video that she had watched before. The number ofments, reposts, and likes had already exceeded 10,000. It was probably already on the trending search list. Lin Shanchu thanked the reporter when she returned the phone. Then, Lin Shanchu fell silent, looking sorrowful. The reporters looked at each other in dismay and dropped their aggressive attitude when asking questions. They all became cautious. Ive known Tang Qidai since we were young. She and my fianc, Lu Shiyuan, are very close. Many things have happened among the three of us Its not a secret. Everyone knows, right? Lin Shanchuughed at herself. Everyone knew about these things. However, it was Lin Shanchus first time telling the reporters about the rtionship among the three of them. When Lu Shiyuan was involved, the reporters dared not make a sound. I once treated her as a true friend, so said Lin Shanchu as she choked up and her eyes reddened instantly. As if she was too sad to continue, she held back her tears and had no choice but to stop. The reporters did not urge her. After a few seconds, Lin Shanchu calmed down and continued to speak. Even if she and my fianc are close, I havent overthink it. For a long time, Ive treated Tang Qidai as a precious person in my life Tears welled up in Lin Shanchus eyes as she tried her best to suppress her sobs. Her voice trembled slightly. I dont know why it became like this. She did not criticize Tang Qidai, nor did she badmouth her. Her helpless and confused look was no different from that of an ordinary person who parted ways with her friend. A few reporters in the front row were moved and tears welled up in their eyes. Qi Cheng saw themotion when he arrived at the scene. He was stunned for two seconds before he strode forward to separate her from the reporters. Im sorry, Shanshan isnt in a good state today. She will talk to you reporters next time. He even brought bodyguards with him. The bodyguards stopped the reporters, and He Xiang hurried over. Then, she and Qi Cheng quickly helped Lin Shanchu into the car.. Chapter 204 - 204: The Biggest Stain in Lin Shanchu’s Life Chapter 204: The Biggest Stain in Lin Shanchus Life Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As soon as Qi Cheng got into the car, he locked the door, quickly started the car and drove away. Qi Cheng heaved a sigh of relief after the reporters were finally out of sight. He looked back through the rearview mirror. Lin Shanchu turned her head and looked out the window intently. From his line of sight, he could only see a side face with no discernible emotions. Even so, Qi Cheng was keenly aware of Lin Shanchus dispiritedness. He Xiang, who was next to her, obviously felt the same as him. She had noticed the abnormality in Lin Shanchus emotions. The two of them looked at each other without a word. After some time, Lin Shanchu turned around. Do you have a mirror? A soft female voice sounded in the car. Both He Xiang and Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchus eyes were still red-rimmed, but she looked calm without a trace of sorrow. He xrang noaaea nKIY. 1 co. Lin Shanchu stretched out her hand. Show me quickly. My makeup must havee off. She looked so sad just a moment ago, but now, she seemed to be fine and was concerned about her makeup. Ive also brought my makeup bag. He Xiang handed her the mirror. Lin Shanchu took the mirror and turned her face around to carefully examine her makeup. A momentter, she said satisfiedly, Fortunately, todays makeup is waterproof. As Lin Shanchu cared about herself, she said, However, my makeup hase off a bit. Give me some powder and Ill touch it up. He Xiang quietly took out the makeup powder and handed it to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu carefully touched up her makeup and handed the mirror to He Xiang with a smile before she spoke to Qi Cheng. Brother Qi, youve worked hard today. No. I didnt work hard. Qi Cheng raised his eyebrows and snorted. Sister Rabbit, youre so quick-witted. As your manager, I dont have to worry about anything in the future. Theres nothing to work on. I couldnt be more happier. There was no trace of joy in his tone. He was obviously angry. Qi Cheng was a responsible manager. It was understandable that he would be angry because Lin Shanchu did not discuss such a big matter with him in advance. Lin Shanchu smiled as she said, Ill try to tell you in advance if something like this happens again. Theres a next time? Qi Cheng was furious. Lin Shanchu smiled and said nothing. Qi Cheng sighed. Im not ming you. The key point is that you even set Lu Shiyuan up. If anything had gone wrong in the process, youd have lost the entire game. He thought that Lin Shanchus original n was to take Tang Qidai down. To his surprise, Lin Shanchu wanted to take down both Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan. It wont happen. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and smiled confidently. I know them too well. She, Tang Qidai, and Lu Shiyuan understood each other the best. In addition, there was Qiao Jiaxi, who was not as intelligent as Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu Imew the temperaments of these three people like the back of her hand. Tang Qidai was as conceited as Lu Shiyuan and she hated Lin Shanchu to the core. Therefore, there was no way Tang Qidai would miss such a good opportunity to trample her. Lu Shiyuan was opinionated and could not tolerate her escape. Naturally, he would not let go of this rare opportunity to threaten her. Lastly, Qiao Jiaxi was the easiest to control. She had an impetuous personality and acted impulsively without considering the consequences. As long as Lin Shanchu did not make a move, she would definitely fail to resist to urge to expose the video. Everything was within Lin Shanchus expectations. The only thing Lin Shanchu did not expect was the way Qiao Jiaxi exposed the video. It was too brilliant. Qiao Jiaxis Weibo mentioning the four words cherished the old rtionship had inadvertently allowed Lin Shanchu to gain the upper hand. It was the best weapon to ruin Tang Qidai, who brought up nostalgia and yed the sympathy card. It was very handy. Qi Chengs lips moved, but in the end, he chose to remain silent because he could not refute her. After a while, Qi Cheng spoke again. After Qiao Jiaxi released the video, the public opinions on the Inte have changedpletely. Unless something unexpected happens, Tang Qidai will bepletely doomed this time Qi Cheng paused slightly after saying that. He nced at Lin Shanchu through the rearview mirror before he continued. As for Lu Shiyuan, he wont be taken down so easily. After he finished speaking, he paid attention to Lin Shanchus expression. He could feel that Lin Shanchu hated Lu Shiyuan more than Tang Qidai. This time, Lin Shanchu had racked her brain to scheme against Lu Shiyuan, but it was all in vain. Lu Shiyuans position was still unshakable in the entertainment industry of Xu City. He could not bepletely overthrown so easily. Although there wereizens scolding Lu Shiyuan, it was only temporary. Lu Shiyuan only needed some public rtions to divert the trouble elsewhere, and everything would be fine soon. I know. Lin Shanchu chuckled, but there was not a hint of displeasure on her face, as if she had already expected this oue. Qi Cheng did not say anything else. Lin Shanchu took out her phone and turned on Weibo. She had been busy for so long. It was time to take a look at her results. The trending search list had already exploded. She, Tang Qidai, and Lu Shiyuan were trending again, but this time, she was the one being pitied. The person being condemned was Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu clicked on Tang Qidais Weibo page. She clicked open thements and saw all of them were condemning Tang Qidai. [Shes so disgusting that Im about to throw upst nights meal!] [Ive never seen such a b*tch like you!] [Are you even worthy of talking about nostalgia?] [Being friends with you is probably the biggest stain in Lin Shanchus life.] [Lin Shanchu treated you as a friend. For old times sake, she didnt expose the full video. Not only were you ungrateful, but you even ndered Lin Shanchu. Are you even human?] [No one would do such a thing.] [Ive been your fan and Ive stood up for you before. Theres nothing more to say now. You better get out of the entertainment industry.] [Getting out of the entertainment industry on your own is the only thing you can do to minimize your losses.] [You can no longer clear your name.] [Were you happy making a monkey out of theizens? B*tch!] Theizens hated Tang Qidai as much as they had sympathized with her before. If the full video had been released from the beginning, theizens would have condemned Tang Qidai and Lin Shanchu equally without taking sides so easily. Tang Qidai would only lose some of her poprity, but she could still continue to survive in the entertainment industry. Unfortunately, Tang Qidai was too greedy and impatient. Tang Qidais Weibo post did not leave any room for retreat. The video Qiao Jiaxi had publishedpletely cut off all of Tang Qidais escape routes. Tang Qidai had ndered Lin Shanchu under the pretense of being loyal and righteous and trampled her to get to the top, causing her to be condemned by theizens. Compared to Lin Shanchu, who cared for their past rtionship and remained silent despite being condemned, Tang Qidais behavior was simply vicious. The evidence was irrefutable this time. Any reason or excuse seemed useless.. Chapter 205 - 205: Who Are You Without Lu Shiyuan? Chapter 205: Who Are You Without Lu Shiyuan? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Tang Qidai gripped her phone tightly as she stared at the screen disying the Weibo post that Qiao Jiaxi had posted. Qiao Jiaxi! I will definitely kill you! How dare you ruin my ns! Ill make you suffer a fate worse than death! That b*tch, Qiao Jiaxi, was short-sighted. She was even more stupid than Lin Shanchu and would spread her legs for any man just to gain a small amount of resources. Hence, even though Lin Shanchu had signed Qiao Jiaxi with Lu Corporation, Tang Qidai did not take her seriously. Tang Qidai had suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of Lin Shanchu during this period of time and had been busy taking jobs to restore her reputation, so she had no time to deal with Qiao Jiaxi. She never thought that she would ended up suffering a defeat at the hands of Qiao Jiaxi. It was even more despicable than being defeated by Lin Shanchu. Creak! The door opened and Kong Suyi walked in with an anxious expression. Daidai, are you alright? What took you so long? Tang Qidai turned around and looked at her. Kong Suyi felt her hair stand on end under Tang Qidais cold gaze. There are reporters everywhere outside the neighborhood. I spent a lot of effort to avoid them. Why would Qiao Jiaxi have the full video? Tang Qidai stood up and walked toward Kong Suyi. Her tone was so calm that it made Kong Suyi a little scared. As soon as Kong Suyi opened her mouth, Tang Qidai interrupted her. Didnt you say that everything was taken care of? Did you lie to me? The lights were off in the room and the curtains had been drawn. Even though there was a faint lighting in from the corner, the room was still dark. Kong Suyi could not see Tang Qidais expression clearly, but she could sense the abnormality in her tone. Tang Qidais voice was inexplicably terrifying. I didnt expect Qiao Jiaxi would go to thepany on that day. She was supposed to attend an event on that day Kong Suyi softened her tone andforted Tang Qidai. Daidai, take it easy. This matter hasnt reached the point of no return. Call President Lu. He must have a way to resolve this matter! At this moment, Tang Qidai had already walked up to Kong Suyi. Her face gradually looked clearer. Kong Suyi had been Tang Qidais manager for many years, but this was her first time seeing Tang Qidai being so calm in trouble. Usually, Tang Qidai would have thrown a tantrum and smashed things at this time. Really? Tang Qidai asked slowly. Hasnt it always been like this? No matter what, President Lu will help you handle it properly. It will definitely be the same this time Kong Suyi understood that the situation this time was different from before. However, Tang Qidai was acting too strangely. She could only say something pleasing to Tang Qidai to calm her down first. A smile appeared on Tang Qidais face, probably because her words worked. Kong Suyi heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Tang Qidai suddenly lunged at Kong Suyi, grabbed her hair, and mmed her head against the wall. How can it be the same this time? I called Brother Shiyuan so many times, but he didnt pick up the phone! Its all your fault. If you had kept an eye on Qiao Jiaxi properly, things wouldnt have turned out like this! Did you not see how thoseizens condemned me? Tang Qidai grimaced as she questioned Kong Suyi fiercely. Kong Suyi struggled to break free. She pushed Tang Qidai away and said, How can you me me? You were the one who insisted on editing the video and posting it online! Didnt I persuade you back then? The reason she supported Tang Qidai was because Tang Qidai had Lu Shiyuans support. Now that Lu Shiyuan did not even answer Tang Qidais calls, she dropped the pretence. Tang Qidai sneered. How dare you talk to me like that? Do you have a death wish? Kong Suyibed her messy hair and said mockingly, Youve even dragged President Lu down this time. Do you think he will still pamper you like before? Stop dreaming! On the way here, she had already gone through all the news on the Inte. The topic of condemning Lu Shiyuan was not low in poprity, but it had not been trending. The topic of condemning Tang Qidai, on the other hand, became trending unusually fast. Obviously, someone was behind this. If a clear-headed man had to choose between interests and women, he would Imow how to make the right choice. Therefore, Lu Shiyuan decided to give up on Tang Qidai to protect himself. Nonsense! Im going to tear your mouth apart! Tang Qidai shrieked and reached out to Kong Suyi. Kong Suyi was prepared for this and easily dodged it. Tang Qidai, Ill give you onest piece of advice for the sake of many years weve worked together. Leave the country as soon as possible. Youve offended too many people! If Lu Shiyuan doesnt protect you, you might not know how youd die. Also, youd better not provoke me! I know all the good deeds youve done all these years. Kong Suyi emphasized the two words good deeds, full of threat. You dare to threaten me? Tang Qidai looked at Kong Suyi in disbelief. Kong Suyi raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully, Who are you without Lu Shiyuan? Kong Suyi sneered and turned to leave. Tang Qidai was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger. Then, she picked up a vase and was about to smash it. The phone on the sofa suddenly rang. Tang Qidais eyes gleamed. She put down the vase and ran toward the sofa. She had set a ringtone for Lu Shiyuan. Listening to the ringtone, she could tell that it was a call from Lu Shiyuan. What did that b*tch Kong Suyi know? Lu Shiyuan doted on her so much, how could he ignore her? Brother Shiyuan. Although Tang Qidai was still angry, she subconsciously smiled and used Lu Shiyuans favorite gentle tone when she answered the call. However, the smile on Tang Qidais face froze quickly. On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuan said, Qidai, go abroad and lie low. What did you say? Tang Qidai could not believe her ears. Lu Shiyuan had always been obedient to her for so many years. Especially when she confronted Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan would stand on her side without hesitation. Im doing this for your own good. Ive booked the ne ticket for you. Youre leaving tonight. Brother Shiyuan Buzz! The phone was hung up with a busy signal. Lu Shiyuan actually hung up on her? Tang Qidai could not suppress her anger any longer. She raised her hand and swept almost everything on the coffee table to the ground. She screamed and threw every reachable thing to the ground. After Lu Shiyuan hung up the phone on the other end, he raised his head and instructed Zhou Yan, Go and arrange for Qidai to go abroadter. Understood. Zhou Yan replied respectfully. Hows the situation online? Lu Shiyuan asked. Zhou Yan said in a deep voice, The public rtions department has already taken action and is starting to guide public opinion. They will try their best to reduce the damage to your reputation. Try their best? Lu Shiyuans voice deepened.. I dont want them to try their best! I want them to clear my namepletely! Chapter 206 - 206: A Limited Edition Luxury Car Chapter 206: A Limited Edition Luxury Car Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Theizens were still angry after condemning Tang Qidai on her Weibo. They even teamed up and went to her fan page. Tang Qidais fan page was quickly bombarded. Some fans still spoke up for Tang Qidai in the fan page, but theirments were quickly overwhelmed. After that, someizens started digging up Tang Qidais dark past. All the dark pasts that Lu Shiyuan had spent a high price to conceal were dug out. For a moment, the Inte was flooded withments boycotting Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu was so engrossed in watching the drama unfold that she did not even notice the car had stopped. She came to her senses only after Qi Cheng reminded her. Weve arrived. Lin Shanchu looked out of the window with a nk expression. They had already arrived at the underground parking lot in the neighborhood. So fast, she mumbled as she got out of the car. As soon as she got out of the car, He Xiang stood in front of her with a vignt look on her face. Lin Shanchu asked, What are you doing? What if there are reporters hiding here? He Xiang replied as she looked around. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Its not easy for reporters to sneak into such a high-end residential area. It is better to be safe than sorry. Qi Cheng said as he walked over. Alright then. Lin Shanchu lowered her head and continued to look at her phone. After looking around carefully, Qi Cheng was relieved when he did not see any sign of the paparazzi. He leaned over and nced at Lin Shanchus phone screen. He did not see it clearly, but he vaguely saw Tang Qidais name. Then, he asked, Which stage are we at? Qi Cheng was very familiar with this kind of thing. In the face of mounting public indignation, Tang Qidai had to suffer losses no matter what. Its the stage where everyone will kick Tang Qidai when she is down and begin to dig up her dark pasts. I dont know if its because theizens are too powerful or for some other reason, but its too easy to dig up Tang Qidais dark pasts After Lin Shanchu said that, she raised her head. She suddenly stopped talking when her gaze inadvertently swept over a certain spot. Whats wrong? Qi Cheng followed her gaze and saw a ck car. Qi Cheng took a closer look and realized that it was a limited edition luxury car. It was a luxurious model that he could never afford in his life. Although this was a high-end residential area with many expensive luxury cars, they were not up to standardpared to this car. Normal rich people could not afford to drive this car. This car looks quite beautiful. If you work hard, you might be able to afford it. Qi Cheng thought that Lin Shanchu had taken a fancy to this car. Is that so? Lin Shanchu chuckled. There arent many people in the entertainment industry who can afford to drive this car. That seems to be the case After thinking for a moment, Qi Cheng nodded in agreement. I remember there seems to be a big shot who owns one of these cars I cant remember who it was. He Xiang, who had been silent, suddenly said softly, Best Actor Huo. Yes! Qi Cheng nodded repeatedly as he said, Thats right, its Teacher Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu replied indifferently, Oh. This cant be Mr. Huos car, right? He Xiangs tone carried a hint of anticipation. No way. Qi Cheng immediately shook his head. Teacher Huo doesnt live here. Jeez. He Xiang sighed. Are you a fan of Teacher Huo? Qi Cheng asked He Xiang. Of course. Who wouldnt like Best Actor Huo? He Xiang cupped her face with both hands and smiled with stars in her eyes. Although Lin Shanchu did not say anything, she heard their conversation. Huo Xunzhou certainly did not live here, but that car belonged to him. She had been in that car many times. She did not even bother to remember the license te. However, she remembered it inexplicably. But what was Huo Xunzhou doing here? They took the elevator upstairs. When they reached the door, He Xiang took out the key to open it. Qi Cheng and Lin Shanchu were holding their mobile phones while looking at thetest news online. At this moment, a mans voice suddenly came from behind Lin Shanchu. Hey! Lin Shanchu was caught off guard and was shocked, dropping the phone in her hand. Thud! It fell to the ground and the screen cracked. Are you surprised to see me? Huo Chaosheng poked his head out from behind and looked at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu looked expressionlessly at Huo Chaosheng for a moment before looking down at the phone on the floor. Jeez, the screen is broken. Huo Chaosheng bent down to pick up her phone. Lin Shanchu took the phone and knocked it on Huo Chaoshengs head. Youre walking without making a sound. Are you crazy? Huo Chaosheng was stunned for a moment before he ran away with his hands over his head. Save me, Third Brother! he shouted as he ran. Lin Shanchus hand paused. Huo Xunzhou was here too? At this moment, Li MO pushed Huo Xunzhou out from behind the emergency door at the exit of the stairs. Best Actor Huo He Xiang next to her gasped in shock. Lin Shanchu was still holding her phone with her arm raised to hit someone. When she met Huo Xunzhous gaze, she withdrew her hand awkwardly and asked, What are you guys doing here? Of course Im here to care for you. Huo Chaosheng leaned over again. He stared at Lin Shanchus face and examined it carefully. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to raise her arm and hit him with her phone again, he jumped away. Yon cried allite sadlv during the interview earlier-Why arent von sad at all now? Lin Shanchu caught the key word in his question. Earlier? Yes, I was going to apany Third Brother for dinner! Halfway through, I camer across the news of you crying your eyes out during an interview with a reporter. I asked Third Brother to apany me to the scene to watch the drama As soon as Huo Chaosheng finished speaking, he twisted his words. Im not here to watch the drama. Im just concerned about you. I rushed over purposely because I care about you. Lin Shanchu nced at Huo Chaosheng with a fake smile. If you dont believe me, you can ask third brother. Huo Chaosheng pointed at Huo Xunzhou. I was really worried that you wouldnt be able to handle the reporters in your sad state, so I went to the venue to see if I could be of help. However, your manager arrived first, so we had to take a shortcut to your house to wait for you. Lin Shanchu knew very well what kind of person Huo Chaosheng was. She did not believe Huo Chaoshengs nonsense. Huo Chaosheng probably thought that it was interesting to see her crying in front of the reporters, so he rushed over to see the scene. He was concerned about her? It was impossible. Huo Chaosheng was a psychopath, but he was not really crazy. Ignoring Huo Chaosheng, Lin Shanchu turned to He Xiang and said, Open the door. He Xiang hurriedly opened the door. Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Chaosheng and said coldly, Lets go in. Huo Chaosheng walked in with a smile. Lin Shanchu did not even know what he was happy about. She could not figure out this perverts thoughts, nor did she bother to care about it. Huo Chaosheng did not hold back at all. He took the slippers handed over by He Xiang and put them on before striding in. Qi Cheng knew that Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou knew each other, so he went in and provided hospitality for Huo Chaosheng on her behalf. In an instant, only Lin Shanchu, Huo Xunzhou, and Li MO were left at the door.. Chapter 207 - 207: why Else Would 1 Like You? Chapter 207: why Else Would 1 Like You? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu stood by the door and crossed her arms as she looked at Huo Xunzhou. The two of them seemed to bepeting, and neither of them took the initiative to speak. Both of them were surprisingly patient. Li MO seriously spected that if no one interrupted them, they would go on like this all day. He cleared his throat and greeted, Miss Lin. Lin Shanchu looked up and smiled. Pleasee in. Li MO pushed Huo Xunzhou into the house. He Xiang wasing out of the kitchen with washed fruits. Since Lin Shanchu went out at noon, she was so busy that she did not even bother to have lunch. Now that she saw the food, she finally felt hungry. She reached out and grabbed a bunch of grapes from the fruit te. She peeled them and stuffed them into her mouth without stopping. Ahem. Qi Cheng coughed heavily, signaling Lin Shanchu to stop eating since there were guests present. Lin Shanchu picked up thest bunch of grapes in her hand and handed it to Huo Xunzhou, who was sitting opposite her. Do you want to eat them? Qi Chengs mouth twitched. He then gave Huo Xunzhou a professional fake smile. Best Actor Huo, Shanshan was just joking with you. He watched Huo Xun reach out calmly to take the grapes. Thank you. Qi Cheng was bewildered. Theizens knew that Lin Shanchu was the daughter of Huo Xunzhous so-called master. However, as an insider, Qi Cheng knew that he could not believe all the news. Lin Shanchu had some history with Huo Xunzhou. However, from Qi Chengs observation, Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou did not have a deep rtionship. At least, it was not deep enough for them to eat the other partys leftover grapes But how should he exin the current situation? Qi Cheng suddenly remembered what Huo Chaosheng had said just now. Best Actor Huo , you havent had dinner yet, right? Huo Xunzhou must be too hungry. We havent eaten yet. Huo Chaosheng answered Qi Cheng. After ncing at the grapes in Huo Xunzhous hand, Huo Chaosheng looked displeased as he asked Lin Shanchu, Why did you only give Third Brother grapes? What about me? Lin Shanchu pushed the fruit te in front of Huo Chaosheng, showing an expression that she did not care whether he would eat the fruits or go hungry. Qi Cheng had mixed feelings. He had not taken care of many artists, but he had seen many of them. He had seen pushy people, fearless people, and arrogant people However, he had never seen someone as arrogant as Lin Shanchu. It was only her basic operation to not y by the rules. He was worried that thisdy would just make a scene when she was in a bad mood one day. Even so, there were still people who rushed up to her. For example, Huo Chaosheng Huo Chaosheng red at Lin Shanchu. Differential treatment! Its good that you know it. Lin Shanchu gave him an appreciative smile. Huo Chaosheng asked, In what way am I inferior to Third Brother? Huo Xunzhou turned a deaf ear to their argument and focused on peeling grapes for himself. He was rxed. He did not even bother to control his annoying little brother! Since that was the case, she could not be med. Lin Shanchu reached out and brushed the hair next to her ear. Dont you know that Brother Xunzhou is more handsome than you? After she finished speaking, she looked at Huo Xunzhou with a hesitant expression. In the next second, he choked on the grape. Cough, cough! Big brother, are you alright? Li MO hurriedly patted Huo Xunzhou on the back. Huo Xunzhou lowered his head and coughed. His expression was unclear, and his ears turned red from the coughin. It must be very ufortable. Look at how you scared my Third Brother! Huo Chaosheng looked like he was waiting for a good show. Lin Shanchu red at Huo Chaosheng. After Huo Xunzhou calmed down, Lin Shanchu silently handed him a ss of water. Huo Xunzhou looked up calmly. Perhaps it was because of the violent coughing just now, but the color of his lower eyelids looked brighter than usual, making his charming eyes inexplicably bewitching. Staring at those eyes for a long time would make ones heart flutter. Thank you. He thanked her and reached out to take the ss of water. His long fingers inadvertently came in contact with her fair fingertips. As if waking up from a dream, Lin Shanchu quickly retracted her hand. The water in the ss swayed and most of it was spilled. Lin Shanchus expression changed slightly as she looked at the water spilled on the table. Huo Chaosheng came over with an interested look and asked Lin Shanchu. You really like Third Brother? Lin Shanchu replied with a faint smile. Why else would I like you? At this moment, the doorbell rang outside. Its probably Nan Mu. Huo Xunzhous voice sounded. He had lunch at Yong Shui Pavilion, so I asked him to bring lunch over by the way. There was no emotion in his calm tone. The incident just now ended peacefully, saving Lin Shanchu blushes inadvertently. Ill open the door. Lin Shanchu stood up and walked towards the door. The person outside was indeed Nan Mu. Beside him was an insted delivery box that was half the height of a person. It was custom-made by Yong Shui Pavilion, looking exquisite with thebel of Yong Shui Pavilion printed on it. Nan Mu ced his hands on his hips and panted heavily. When he saw that it was Lin Shanchu who opened the door, he immediately looked serious and asked with concern, Are you alright? Nan Mu knew that Lin Shanchu hated Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai. However, Lin Shanchus tearful look in front of the journalists was too sincere, making her look miserable and pitiful. Nan Mu could not tell if Lin Shanchu was really sad. Im fine. Lin Shanchu pointed at the delivery box. Why did you bring such a huge box alone? Why didnt you ask someone to help you? Yong Shui Pavilion offered delivery services to certain specific members. Xunzhou said that if someone else were toe over to deliver it, they might expose your address. Speaking of this, Nan Mus tone was full of resentment. His buddy was dating his artist, but he was the one who suffered! After Nan Mu finished speaking, he looked inside the house with guilt, fearing that Huo Xunzhou would hear him. Qi Cheng came over to help carry the delivery box. The food was still warm, and then the dining table was filled with the food. After dinner, Nan Mu and Lin Shanchu started to talk about what happened today. After that, you can cooperate and send a reply on Weibo. You can leave the rest to thepany. Alright. Tang Qidais downfall was certain. The next thing Lin Shanchu needed to do was to clean up the aftermath and then use the opportunity to market herself to gain a wave of poprity and stabilize her fans. Naturally, these professional matters had to be done by professionals. As for Lu Shiyuan Nan Mu was somewhat discouraged as he sighed. Its true that we cant do anything about him for the time being. Lin Shanchu said softly, Its alright, theres still a chance. Is there anything I can help you with? Huo Chaosheng suddenly asked. It was obvious that he still held a grudge against Lu Shiyuan for beating him up. In this aspect, he was somewhat simr to Huo Xunzhou. They all held grudges. Ill do it myself. Lin Shanchu shook her head.. Chapter 208 - 208: She Sounded as if She Was Not Close to Xunzhou Chapter 208: She Sounded as if She Was Not Close to Xunzhou Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When theizens who criticized Tang Qidai began to feel sorry for Lin Shanchu, Lin Shanchu knew that Nan Mu had arranged his men to take action. [I really feel sorry for Lin Shanchu. She obviously didnt do anything wrong, yet theizens condemned her.] [So thats what Lin Shanchu meant when she said in the exclusive interview that she had to follow her conscience.] [Judging from what she said in the exclusive interview, I think shes trying to give Tang Qidai a chance.] [Although Lin Shanchu is a little crazy, shes always honest in everything she does. I even condemned her yesterday. Im really sorry. I wont take sides so easily in the future!] [I watched Lin Shanchus exclusive interview video again. She looked really sad.] [Perhaps Lin Shanchu swallowed the insults in the past years not because she was weak, but she cared too much about her friend, Tang Qidai] [+1, I think so too.] [Shouldnt Lu Shiyuan speak up? Lu Shiyuan was also present in the video Qiao Jiaxi posted, but he had hidden himself in this fiasco?] [Yes, he was clearly at the scene, but he didnt say a word and watched Lin Shanchu being condemned!] [Dont mention his name. The hashtag #DisgustingManLuShiyuan# wont be trending. Everyone knows that Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai have always been in cahoots. Hes just covering up for Tang Qidai. Trash!] [Lu Shiyuan is clearly bullying Lin Shanchu with Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu is clearly the top student of the Xu City Film Academy, but she doesnt have any acting opportunities and is constantly being condemned Its simply terrifying.] [Whats even more terrifying is that Lin Shanchus parents are the benefactors of the Lu family. The way Lu Shiyuan treats the daughter of his benefactor is far inferior to a certain Best Actor.] [Sisters, dontpare them. Lus name doesnt deserve to be on the same level as a certain Best Actor!] [I put myself in Lin Shanchus shoes. My best friend who grew up together hooked up with my fianc and joined forces to hurt me and suppress me. No one will help me. Its practically a nightmare. If it were someone with a weak mentality, they would probably not want to live anymore Anyway, I just feel very sad and sorry for her. No matter what Lin Shanchu does in the future, I think I can understand her as long as she doesnt breaks thew or harm people.] Thisment had been liked hundreds of thousands of times and was at the top. Many media ounts even took screenshots of it and forwarded them. Lu Shiyuan had spent a lot of money to clear his name, but now the matter had escted to this point, it was beyond his control. In this incident, he did not hit someone, nor did he get hit. However, no matter how one looked at it, he could not absolve himself of the me. Still, Lu Shiyuan ended up on the trending search list. Lin Shanchu posted a Weibo post in the evening. The Weibo post contained only two simple words: [Look ahead.] The two simple words were neat, dignified and unrestrained. This was the result of discussion with Nan Mu. If it was some sensational content like Qiao Jiaxis, you would certainly earn some fans and non-fans tears, but it would be inappropriate. Lin Shanchu agreed with Nan Mu. I agree. It had only been two days since the fiasco started festered, but she felt that it had been a long time. She was a little tired. She wanted to end it quickly. She had to be more efficient. She still had a tough battle to fight. Nan Mu could hear the exhaustion in Lin Shanchus voice. He pondered for a moment and said, Take two days off. Youre so generous? Lin Shanchu was surprised. Nan Mu had previously arranged such a long schedule for her. Now that her poprity had reached the next level, he wanted her to take a break. Im a human being after all! Nan Mu looked at her suspiciously. Do you think Im so heartless? Nan Mu did not know how much of Lin Shanchus tears were real in front of the reporters. However, both Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai were very close to Lin Shanchu. He did not know whether Lin Shanchu felt sad or not. However, out of sympathy with Lin Shanchu, he felt that she should rest for two days to adjust her condition. Lin Shanchu nodded seriously. Yeah. You Nan Mu was so angry that he could not continue his words. Thank you, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. Nan Mus anger disappeared instantly and his eyes gleamed. Treat me to a meal then. What do you want to eat? Lin Shanchu asked. Ill eat whatever you cook. Nan Mu chuckled. Lin Shanchu looked puzzledly at Nanmu. Nan Mu came to his senses immediately and waved his hand in fright. I didnt mean anything else. I just think you cook delicious meals! Ive eaten all the delicious food outside! I just want to eat the food you cook! Oh. Lin Shanchu saw his sincere expression and asked, When? Can I do it at my house? Nan Mu thought for a moment and said seriously, Go to my house. Your house? Those words sounded a little ambiguous. Nan Mu replied, Ill call Xunzhou and the others. Oh. Do you understand? Lin Shanchu nodded. Yes, I understand. Youre afraid that Huo Chaosheng will think that Im close to Huo Xunzhou. Thats why you chose the location at your house. Nan Mu was convinced and gave Lin Shanchu a thumbs up. Lin Shanchu smiled humbly. Suddenly, Nan Mu seemed to have thought of something and looked at her in confusion. Whats wrong? What did you mean just now? Are you very close to Xunzhou? What did she mean by afraid that Huo Chaosheng will think that Im close to Huo Xunzhou? She sounded as if she was not close to Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu blinked. Its gettingte. Im going to sleep. Goodbye. Nan Mu was speechless. Nan Mu gave Lin Shanchu a day off. Artists wihout a job would naturally stay at home to rest. However, she was also a shareholder of Lu Corporation. As long as Lu Corporation did not go bankrupt, she could work there. Lin Shanchu woke up early. He Xiang had already prepared breakfast. Seeing that Lin Shanchu had changed her clothes, she asked, Sister Lin, are you going out? Yes, Im going to visit my fianc. Lin Shanchus tone was light. People who did not know better would think that she and her fianc were in a good rtionship. Do you want to tell Brother Qi? He Xiang asked. Qi Cheng had instructed her to contact him immediately if anything happened. There were countless paparazzi waiting outside to take photos of Lin Shanchu. As long as she went out, she would be at risk of being photographed. Lin Shanchu drank a mouthful of porridge and said, Just tell him. Alright. He Xiang sat down opposite her and ate breakfast together. Lin Shanchu suddenly raised her head. Tell him now! Qi Cheng rushed over half an hourter. Do you have to go? he asked Lin Shanchu as soon as he entered the house. Of course. Lin Shanchu was putting on makeup. Qi Cheng said, Alright, Ill drive you. Lin Shanchu replied, Thank you, Brother Qi. Themunication between them went smoothly. He Xiang still could not figure out the situation. Qi Cheng exined kindly, You didnt think that Shanshan asked you to inform me about her departure without any ulterior motive, did you? Chapter 209 - 209: Be Good and I Will Give You Anything You Want Chapter 209: Be Good and I Will Give You Anything You Want Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiangs tone sounded hesitant. Isnt that so? Qi Cheng smiled expressionlessly. Then, he said with a sullen look on his face. She wanted you to call me over to be the chauffeur! He Xiang widened her eyes and muttered, So thats how it is. Brother Qi, youre so smart. Ill treat you to lunch. Lin Shanchu finished her makeup and turned to look at the two of them with a smile. What else could Qi Cheng say? Alright. Qi Cheng drove the car over. His car was very cheap and inconspicuous because the same model could be seen everywhere on the street. Therefore, they easily avoided the reporters waiting at the entrance of Lu Corporation and drove into thepanys parking lot. After the group entered the elevator, He Xiang eximed, We really didnt get discovered! Yeah, who would have thought that with Lin Shanchus status, she would enter Lu Corporation in a second-hand car worth less than 80,000 yuan. Qi Cheng crossed his arms and nced at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu replied seriously, Theres nothing different about sitting in this car. Its quitefortable. Qi Cheng paused before he continued, If I had known it, I would have let the reporters take photos. Such a down-to-earth artist can attract fans and good impressions. Lin Shanchu stopped talking. Her manager was really dedicated. Lin Shanchu did not go to Lu Shiyuan directly. She first went to the other floors for workce inspection as a shareholder. Lin Shanchu also felt an unprecedented enthusiasm from the employees in Lu Corporation. People greeted her wherever she went. Hello, President Lin! Lin Shanchu felt a little bit of the joy of being a boss from the respectful greetings. However, it was just a little. Wherever Lin Shanchu went, some employees whispered, So shes Lin Shanchu. This is the first time Ive seen her up close Lin Shanchu naturally heard those words. She slowed down and listened for a moment before continuing to walk forward. As she walked, she started smiling. Sister Lin, what are you smiling at? He Xiang asked her. After a few seconds, He Xiang heard Lin Shan Chus reply. Im a little happy. In the past, when the employees mentioned her, they would not even mention her name. Instead, all of them would mention the title President Lus fiance. If she had done nothing, people would still call her Lu Shiyuans fiance whenever they mentioned her. When ones life was mired in a quagmire, one still had to struggle to move forward. What if one could see light at the end of the tunnel? Even if she could not do anything about Lu Shiyuan now, she would be able to get rid of himpletely soon. The workce inspection was just a pretext. Lin Shanchus real intention was to put on the airs of President Lin and further weaken Lu Shiyuans influence in thepany. Therefore, she only took a cursory look on each floor for the inspection. Shortly afterwards, she arrived at the artist management department. This incident happened in the artist management department. After learning that Lin Shanchu had arrived, the artist director adjourned the meeting and came out to wee her. President Lin, youre here! Ill just look around. Get on with what youre doing. Alright. After the director said alright , she still followed closely behind Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu did not try to persuade her. Only jobless artists woulde to thepany at any time to clock in. After looking around, Lin Shanchu turned to the director and asked, Wheres Jiaxl? Shes on her way here. Were having a meeting today to discuss her work arrangements. Then Ill wait for her here. Lin Shanchu sat down on the sofa. Alright, what would you like to drink? Lin Shanchu thought about it and turned to ask He Xiang and Qi Cheng, What would you like to drink? He Xiang replied, Im fine with anything. Qi Cheng replied, Ill have some tea. Lin Shanchu adopted Qi Chengs decision. Ill have some tea then. Qiao Jiaxi arrived as soon as the tea was brewed. President Lin. Qiao Jiaxi was wearing adylikece dress with a goodplexion, looking refreshing and pretty. With our rtionship, why do you treat me like a stranger? Call me Sister. Lin Shanchu stood up and gently pulled Qiao Jiaxis arm. Qiao Jiaxi was stunned for a moment before she spoke tentatively, Sister Lin? Good girl. Lin Shanchu gently stroked Qiao Jiaxis head, acting like an older sister. Qiao Jiaxi rolled her eyes and nced at Qi Cheng and He Xiang who were standing behind Lin Shanchu. Sister Lin, we havent seen each other for a long time. I want to talk to you alone. Alright. Lin Shanchu smiled at Qi Cheng and He Xiang, gesturing for them to leave. The two of them understood her intention and went out on their own, leaving only Qiao Jiaxi and Lin Shanchu in the room. The smile on Qiao Jiaxis face disappeared instantly. She pushed Lin Shanchu away and snorted, Youre so proud of yourself now. Not only have you taken down Tang Qidai, but you also earned the sympathy of theizens and gained so many fans. Qiao Xi had posted the Weibo post herself. She was jealous of Lin Shanchus poprity, so it was normal for her to say something sarcastic. Her tone was indeed sarcastic. However, her words did not sound right. I was condemned In this fiasco, but I admit that I also benefited from your Weibo post. Lin Shanchu calmly tried to worm something out of Qiao Jiaxi. Qiao Jiaxi was not intelligent, so Lin Shanchu did not even need to ask her directly. With just a slight provocation, Qiao Jiaxi would take the initiative to reveal everything. Theres no one else here, so stop pretending. You and I both know who posted that Weibo. Qiao Jiaxi seemed to be getting angrier as she spoke. Lin Shanchu caught the key word in Qiao Jiaxis words. You meanYou didnt post that Weibo post? Theres only the two of us here. Is there any point in ying dumb with me? Qiao Jiaxi raised her voice as she felt somewhat irritated. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes slightly and reached out to her. Give me your phone. What are you doing? Qiao Jiaxi asked in an impolite tone, but she still handed the phone to Lin Shanchu. Unlock it. Qiao Jiaxi did not know what she was up to, so she patiently unlocked the phone. Its unlocked, and then what? Lin Shanchu took it and confirmed that it was not in the recording mode. Then, she turned it off and threw it aside. In terms of tricks, Qiao Jiaxi was not any better than Tang Qi. She was full of sinister tricks. She certainly had to be careful. When Qiao Jiaxi saw her phone being thrown out, she looked dissatisfied and said, Hey, you Now, we can take our time for chit-chat. Lin Shanchu pulled Qiao Jiaxi over and pressed her down on the armchair beside her. What are you doing? Qiao Jiaxi wanted to get up, but Lin Shanchu pinned her down again. Lin Shanchu ced her hands on the armrests of the sofa, slightly bent over and stared at Qiao Jiaxi. Ill ask questions, and youll answer me. Be good and I will give you anything you want. Her voice was gentle and her eyes were clear. She did not seem to have the slightest attack power, but she made people feel scared for no reason. Qiao Jiaxi did not dare to get up again. Ask the question.. Chapter 210 - 210: He Likes Someone Clean Chapter 210: He Likes Someone Clean Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Did you post that Weibo post for rification? As Lin Shanchu spoke, she locked her eyes with Qiao Jiaxi. She wanted to confirm if Qiao Jiaxi was lying. Qiao Jiaxi replied, No. Her gaze was firm. She did not lie. Lin Shanchus curled her lip in admiration. If you didnt do, then who posted At the mention of this, Qiao Jiaxi became angry. Why are you still asking me? Didnt you do this yourself? They were back to the starting point. Lin Shanchu felt that there was something wrong with the way she asked the question. She took a deep breath and asked patiently, How could I post it with your Weibo ount? If someone helped you, just tell me the truth. Qiao Jiaxi replied, You got someone to steal my Weibo ount and then published that post. Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief. After asking for a long time, she finally asked what she wanted to know. It was too difficult tomunicate with Qiao Jiaxi. I didnt steal your ount. Youre the only one who knows that I have the video. Who else could it be? Qiao Jiaxi was already certain that Lin Shanchu had stolen her ount and posted on Weibo. Thefore, she would not believe whatever Lin Shanchu had said. It was pointless to say more. Lin Shanchu did not bother to waste her breath with Qiao Jiaxi. You have nothing more to say, right? Qiao Jiaxi red at Lin Shanchu. You didnt want my video, and it turned out you were nning for this. Youre really insidious. Lin Shanchu slowly straightened her body and her voice turned colder. Youre no better. Qiao Jiaxi was sensible enough not to continue this topic. Anyway, Ive done you a big favor this time, so you have to help me too. She raised her chin and looked confident. Tang Qidais resources are all yours. Qiao Jiaxi did not expect Lin Shanchu to agree so readily. She was stunned. I heard that you wanted to snatch Tang Qidais resources As you said, I wanted to snatch Tang Qidais resources. My goal isnt the resources, but Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu was telling the truth. She did notck resources. She simply wanted to snatch Tang Qidais resources. Now, Tang Qidai was done for. She would not have to fight for those resources anymore. Besides, she was too busy with the work that Nan Mu had epted for her. Qiao Jiaxi felt that what Lin Shanchu said made sense. She continued to make demands of Lin Shanchu. I want to be more popr than Tang Qidai. Can you do that? As long as you go out with your brain every day, youll definitely be more popr than Tang Qidai. If one wanted to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry, one had to keep mentally sharp in addition to their looks and abilities. In terms of looks, Qiao Jiaxi was not much worse off than Tang Qidai. As for her abilities, they could be improvedter. Qiao Jia wascking brainpower. When she saw Qiao Jiaxis Weibo post, she thought that Qiao Jiaxi had finally be smarter. Unfortunately, Qiao Jiaxi did not publish that Weibo post. Qiao Jiaxi only focused on thetter half of Lin Shanchus words and asked in surprise, Really? Yes. Lin Shanchu nodded sincerely. A momentter, Qiao Jiaxi came to her senses. Did you just call me a no-brainer? Knock! Knock! Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Immediately afterwards, Qi Chengs voice was heard. Shanshan, President Lu Before Qi Cheng could finish his words, the door was pushed open forcefully. Lu Shiyuan strode in with a gloomy expression. Lin Shanchu stood still, calmly watching him walk towards her. Looks like you will never learn manners and respect. Lu Shiyuans grimace got worse. ncing at Qiao Jiaxi in the room out of the corner of his eye, Lu Shiyuan suppressed his anger. Why didnt you look for me when you came to thepany? Lin Shanchu acted as if she did not hear Lu Shiyuans words and turned to ask Qiao Jiaxi, Where were we just now? Lu Shiyuans aura was intimidating. Qiao Jiaxi was a little afraid, so she stuttered as she spoke, I We Lu Shiyuan was unhappy that Lin Shanchu was ignoring him. Lin Shanchu, Im asking you a question! He emphasized his tone with intense hostility. I was talking to Jiaxi about something, and you barged in before we could finish. Since you dont respect others, why should I respect you or pay attention to you? Lin Shanchu met Lu Shiyuans gaze and refuse to give in. Qiao Jiaxi hurriedly said, Its okay, were done talking. Hearing the ingratiating tone in Qiao Jiaxis voice, Lin Shanchu frowned and turned to look at Qiao Jiaxi. Only then did she realize that Qiao Jiaxis gaze was focused on Lu Shiyuan with stars in her eyes. Lin Shanchu was no stranger to such a gaze. She had seen a lot of them in romantic dramas. It turned out that Qiao Jiaxi took a fancy to Lu Shiyuan. Was it because of the male leads charm? I still have to walk around. Ille to you when Im done. Lin Shanchu leanedzily on the sofa, looking as if she did not want to talk to Lu Shiyuan anymore. Lu Shiyuan was angry when he saw her like this. However, at this moment, there were not only outsiders in the room, but also employees who stopped at the door and looked inside. Themotion on the Inte was notpletely over, and his reputation had also been greatly affected. Even though he had been pulling strings behind the scene, thoseizens who had nothing better to do managed to create topics with the hashtag #BoycottLu Shiyuan. No matter how angry he was, he could only swallow his anger for the time being. Ill wait for you in the office, Lu Shiyuan said those words and mmed the door. Qiao Jiaxi sat up straight with her eyes following Lu Shiyuan. Once Lu Shiyuans figure hadpletely disappeared, she reluctantly averted her gaze. She turned her head and met Lin Shanchus half-smiling eyes. I still have work to doter, so Ill leave first. Qiao Jiaxi got up and left guiltily. Jiaxi. Lin Shanchu suddenly called out to her with a smile. Qiao Jiaxi forced a smile. Is there anything else? If you want to be famous, work hard with your brain. Dont think about anything else. Lin Shanchu sighed after she finished speaking. She did not want to meddle in this kind of business, but after she thought about it carefully, Qiao Jiaxi did not deserve to be punished. Therefore, she couldnt help but remind Qiao Jiaxi. Qiao Jiaxi was keenly aware that Lin Shanchu had seen through her thoughts, so she shouted guiltily, What do you mean? He likes someone clean. Dont waste your energy. Lin Shanchu knew very well how messy Qiao Jiaxis private life was. Although Lu Shiyuan was a scumbag, he liked those who were gentle, weak, generous, kind, and clean. Qiao Jiaxi was not Lu Shiyuans cup of tea in any aspect. Qiao Jiaxis expression changed. Then, as if she had thought of something, she went up to Lin Shanchu and whispered, Lin Shanchu, are you afraid? Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Youre afraid that Lu Shiyuan will fall in love with someone else and take a fancy to someone else.. Youre afraid that Ill snatch him away, arent you? Chapter 211 - 211: You Cannot Simply Lay Hands On My Friends Chapter 211: You Cannot Simply Lay Hands On My Friends Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu and Qiao Jiaxi looked at each other without saying a word for a long time. Mainly, she really did not know how to answer Qiao Jiaxis anti-intellectual question. That was right, it was anti-intellectual. If Qiao Jiaxi had beat her brains out, she would not have asked such a question. She initially thought that with Qiao Jiaxis ability, she would make a fool of herself at worst with top-notch resources. In the end, she had overestimated Qiao Jiaxi. Forget about bing famous, Qiao Jiaxi might not even be able to survive. In Qiao Jiaxis eyes, Lin Shanchu remained silent because she was at a loss for words after she touched on a sore point. I was right on the mark, wasnt I? Qiao Jiaxi smiled smugly. I didnt have the chance to get close to Lu Shiyuan in the past because he was always upied by Tang Qidai. As long as I have the chance to get close to him, he will definitely know that the woman he loves the most is me. In this world, there were always some foolish women who thought that they were very special in the eyes of men, and would value a mans favor more than their career. Qiao Jiaxi turned to look at Lin Shanchu and said magnanimously, Dont worry, I wontpete with you for the status of fiance. I only want Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu asked, Do you think I care about the status of fiance? If you dont care about this status, why did you swallow the insults for so many years and not break off the engagement with Lu Shiyuan? Qiao Jiaxi confidently stated her guess. Lin Shanchu did not exin herself, but asked seriously, Are we not going to investigate Jing Mings death? It used to be one of Qiao Jiaxis purposesing to Lu Corporation. Our line of work is stressful and there are many depressed people. Isnt it normal for one or two people tomit suicide because they cant withstand the pressure? Besides, with Lu Shiyuans identity, he didnt have to target Jing Ming. Unimpressed, Qiao Jiaxi defended Lu Shiyuan. Theres no evidence in the first ce. The word evidence hadpletely stepped on Lin Shanchus toes. In that case, I wish you a safe journey, Lin Shanchu said with no warmth in her gentle voice as her gaze turned cold. It was hard to persuade a stubborn person with good-intentioned words. Since Qiao Jiaxi wanted to court death, so be it. Although Qiao Jiaxi was brainless, she still had somemon sense. Lin Shanchus words were so inauspicious that it was no different from cursing her to death. What do you mean? Lin Shanchu did not even spare Qiao Jiaxi another nce. She walked straight to the door, pulled it open and walked out. Qi Cheng and He Xiang were outside. Qiao Jiaxi chased after her angrily. Lin Shanchu, stop right there! Lin Shanchu walked even faster. Qi Cheng nced at Qiao Jiaxi and opened the door to the maximum. He even smiled kindly at Qiao Jiaxi. The intention was evident. As long as Qiao Jiaxi was not afraid of embarrassing herself, she could shout out loud to the other employees. Qiao Jiaxi stomped her feet in anger. Qi Cheng caught up with Lin Shanchu and asked her, What have you said to make Qiao Jiaxi so angry? Lin Shanchu looked calm. I wish her a safe journey. Qi Cheng was speechless for a moment. These words did not sound very auspicious. They did not start a fight probably because Lin Shanchu left quickly enough. He Xiang asked curiously, Sister Lin, why did you say those words to her? She has taken a fancy to Lu Shiyuan and thinks that he will fall in love with her as long as she works hard enough. Lin Shanchus tone was light and emotionless. He Xiang could not tell how Lin Shanchu was feeling at the moment, so she naturally dared not ask why she would court death if she took a fancy to Lu Shiyuan. She could only turn to look at Qi Cheng, begging for an exnation. Qi Chengs gaze darkened. The video for rification was posted by Qiao Jiaxis ount. Lu Shiyuan wont let her off the hook because of this. Qi Cheng was once a famous manager in the industry. He had dealt with Lu Shiyuan many times. From the perspective of business cooperation, Lu Shiyuans vision and methods were impable and even admirable. At least, that was what he had thought before Jing Mings ident. After Jing Mings ident, Qi Cheng realized that a person with extraordinary vision would be no different from a demon if he had lost his humanity. Demons had no humanity. Cannibalism and murder aremonce. He Xiang nodded, but she did not fully understand his words. Her understanding of Lu Shiyuan was limited. She only remembered that when she was by Tang Qidais side, Lu Shiyuan was very gentle to Tang Qidai. The elevator door opened and the group arrived at the floor where Lu Shiyuans office was located. Zhou Yan walked over from the opposite side. Both of their targets were Lu Shiyuans office. Miss Lin. Zhou Yan nodded slightly at Lin Shanchu, and then he reached out to knock on the door. Lin Shanchu pushed him away when he stretched out his hand halfway. Lin Shanchu turned the doorknob and kicked the door open with a bang. There was another executive sitting in the room, as if he was discussing something with Lu Shiyuan. President Lin. The executive looked embarrassed. Are you busy? Lin Shanchu casually walked over and sat down opposite the two of them, as if she was at home. The executive was sensible. President Lu, Ill leave first then Why are you leaving? Since were talking about thepanys affairs, lets discuss together. Lin Shanchu interrupted the executive. The executive turned to look at Lu Shiyuan, wanting to seek his opinion. President Lu the executive said tentatively. Then lets talk about thepany releasing arge number of scandals about Tang Qidais dark past, shall we? Lin Shanchu held her head and smiled innocently. Tang Qidai is a good friend of President Lu. How dare you do this without his instructions? You are so bold. As Lin Shanchu spoke, her gazended on the executive. The executives expression changed slightly. President Lin, its a misunderstanding. Thepany didnt do such a thing. It was all dug up by theizens. Is that so? Theizens are really amazing. Lin Shanchu turned her head and asked Lu Shiyuan, Dont you think so? Lu Shiyuans face darkened as he instructed the executive, You go out first. The executive quickly got up and left, as if he was running for his life. Wasnt he just running for his life? Although he had denied Lin Shanchus words, the truth was that thepany had indeed released the scandals on Tang Qidai as instructed. Everyone knew how much Lu Shiyuan had doted on Tang Qidai. If it werent for Lu Shiyuans instructions, no one would be able to do anything to Tang Qidai even if she was done for. Any keen-eyed person knew that Lu Shiyuans actions meant to shift the me onto Tang Qidai so that he could get away with it. After all, this was not something to be proud of. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. Even if he knew about it, he had to y dumb. After the executive left, Qi Cheng and He Xiang were still there. Lu Shiyuan shouted coldly, I said, get out! Qi Cheng did not move. Seeing this, He Xiang also stood still as if she did not hear him. Other than Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan did not have much patience with the others. He grabbed the coffee cup in front of him and was about to throw it at them. At the same time, Lin Shanchu picked up the ashtray beside her and smashed it on Lu Shiyuans hand, breaking the coffee cup in his hand. You cannot simplyy hands on my friends! Chapter 212 - 212: As Long as I Don ‘t Agree, There’s Nothing You Can Do About Me! ” Chapter 212: As Long as I Don t Agree, Theres Nothing You Can Do About Me! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The ashtray was very heavy. Lin Shanchu also exerted great force and aimed urately. Itnded steadily on Lu Shiyuans wrist. Lu Shiyuan was in so much pain that he was numb. It took him a few seconds before he managed to regain consciousness. How dare you attack me for the sake of two outsiders? He red at Lin Shanchu as his eyes widened. Lin Shanchu looked at him coldly. One of them is my assistant, and the other is my manager. Theyre my friends and work partners. As for you The two people beside her were also shocked. They did not expect Lin Shanchu would dare to attack Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu suddenly paused andughed. Do you think youre worthy of beingpared to them? He Xiang paled with fright. In her impression, Lu Shiyuan was very gentle to Tang Qidai, but he was harsh to everyone else and his cold face was terrifying. Lin Shanchus words clearly showed that she did not take Lu Shiyuan seriously and wanted to embarrass him. Even if Lu Shiyuan was a tolerant man, there was no way he could swallow his pride. Qi Cheng broke out in a cold sweat for Lin Shanchu. He had long experienced Lu Shiyuans methods. Thisdy was really bold. There was probably nothing in this world that she was afraid of. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that his veins bulged, as if he was going to hit someone at any moment. Brother Qi, wait for me outside. Lin Shanchus tone was very calm. Jing Ming had died in the hands of Lu Shiyuan. It was a knot in Qi Chengs heart. Given the current situation, Qi Cheng naturally refused to go out. Since Lin Shanchu did not hear the footsteps, she naturally figured out Qi Chengs thoughts. Dont be afraid. We dont know who will die if we really fight. Hearing the word die, Lu Shiyuans expression froze for a moment. Lin Shanchu suddenly thought of something and said happily, It doesnt matter even if I die here today. Anyway, I have written my will long ago. If I die, my shares wont fall into the hands of scum. Her tone sounded so happy, as if she was talking about a joyous asion. Lu Shiyuans attention was diverted by her words. What have you written in the will? When Qi Cheng noticed that the atmosphere had eased up a little, he went out with He Xiang. Lin Shanchu widened her eyes and said innocently, Its to prevent you from killing people for money of course. Am I such a person in your eyes? Are you not? Didnt you also expose Tang Qidais dark pasts to shield yourself this time? Lu Shiyuan was bereft of speech for a long time before he asked, Who told you that? So you admit it? Disdain shed across Lin Shanchus eyes. I dont need anyone to tell me about something like this. I know who you are, so I just guessed it. Lu Shiyuan was well aware that his hands were not clean. However, Lin Shanchus direct revtion made him exasperated. Lin Shanchu, anyone else can say that about me! Only you cant! Whats the matter? Youve done it, and you wont let me talk about it? To me, you are different from them! Others did not have to understand him, but Lin Shanchu had to understand him. It had always been like this, hadnt it? As expected of the male lead, it was all lovers prattle whenever he opened his mouth. If she had not awakened, her original self would probably have already been lovestruck by now and heartbrokenly hugged Lu Shiyuan tofort him. To me, you are different from pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep. Lin Shanchus tone was gentle as usual. However, it was like a bolt out of the blue in Lu Shiyuans ears. What did you say? He thought that he was probably hallucinating. Lin Shanchu revealed Lu Shiyuans favorite smile and enunciated each word, Pork can be eaten, dogs can guard the house, but you are nothing. Lin Shanchu, youre courting death! Lu Shiyuan was furious and pounced straight at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu sat motionless on the spot and looked at him calmly. She clenched her hands tightly and lifted her feet gently. She could move, but she did not move. When Lu Shiyuan grabbed Lin Shanchu by the neck, she resisted the urge to close her eyes and looked straight into Lu Shiyuans eyes. She advised He Xiang to face her fear. She had to do the same. Lu Shiyuan met Lin Shanchus fearless gaze. After a slight daze, he released his grip. Why didnt you dodge? Whats the point of dodging it? I cant beat you anyway. Ill just make myself more wretched. Lin Shanchu had a disinterested look on her face. She reached out and touched her neck. Fortunately, it did not hurt. Lu Shiyuan suddenly remembered that Lin Shanchu had called the police and got him to the police station. You did it on purpose! Yeah. Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows. Although she did not understand what Lu Shiyuan meant, she knew that answering yeah would definitely make him angrier. As expected, Lin Shanchu saw anger in Lu Shiyuans eyes. Do you hate me that much? Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth. Why do you ask me when you already you know the answer? Lin Shanchu replied. Lu Shiyuanughed in rage. You just want to provoke me on purpose and ruin my reputation. You want to cancel the engagement with me! Do you think I dont know? Lin Shanchu remained silent. She really had not thought about it that much. After the evidence was erasedst time, she felt calmer and less anxious. She was prepared for a protracted battle. Therefore, she epted reality and was mentally prepared. It was useless to resort to petty tricks like provoking Lu Shiyuan into attacking her and then calling the police to ruin his reputation. Moreover, she would also be injured because of this. She cherished her life now. Other than confirming if he was the one who had leaked the scandals of Tang Qidai online, she also came to Lu Corporation today to provoke him and train her courage. Lin Shanchu did not say anything, so Lu Shiyuan thought that he had guessed correctly. You want me to cancel the engagement so badly? Lu Shiyuan asked her. Yes. There was nothing to deny. She even dreamed of breaking off the engagement with Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan smiled, but in fact, he had a hideous look on his face. Dream on! As long as Im alive and youre not dead, I wont agree to cancel the engagement with you. As long as I dont agree, theres nothing you can do about me! If Lu Shiyuan was trying to anger her, then he had seeded. Lin Shanchu was angry because Lu Shiyuan had touched on a sore spot with her. As long as Lu Shiyuan did not agree, she would not be able to break off the engagement with him. This engagement reminded Lin Shanchu all the time that she was still under Lu Shiyuans control. She still could not get rid of Lu Shiyuan. Seeing Lin Shanchus expression change, Lu Shiyuan felt refreshed. Dont do those useless things. Just wait obediently and marry me. Were going to be together for the rest of our lives. Lu Shiyuan took a deep breath and calmed down. So what if Lin Shanchu caused a ruckus? In the end, she still could not escape from his grasp. Yes, as long as you dont agree to cancel the engagement, I cant do anything about you, Lin Shanchu said as she slowly opened her bag. Lu Shiyuan thought that Lin Shanchu had finally sumbed to reality, so he proudly reached out to grab the cup. At this moment, Lin Shanchus frosty voice came from the side. So, you have to die. Before Lu Shiyuan could react, Lin Shanchu stabbed him in the chest with a dagger.. Chapter 213 - 213: Emergency intervention Chapter 213: Emergency intervention Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lu Shiyuan looked down at his chest in disbelief. Lin Shanchus hand was still on the dagger handle. She exerted so much force that her knuckles turned white. The de hadpletely sunk into his chest. Lin Shanchu still felt unsatisfied. She gripped the dagger handle and pushed it deeper. Unfortunately, she only used this dagger for self-defense. For the sake of portability, she chose an exquisite and small dagger with a very short de. Due to the loss of blood, Lu Shiyuans face quickly turned pale. You came to see me with a dagger? His voice was already a little weak, but his eyes were unusually unyielding as he wanted an answer. I bring a dagger with me every time I meet you. Lin Shanchu answered his question as he wished and wanted to pull the dagger back. Indeed, she only used this dagger for self-defense. She had thought about killing Lu Yuan directly, but she never thought of putting it into action. She could not die, and Lu Shiyuan, who was blessed by the male leads aura, could not die either. Therefore, if she attacked Lu Shiyuan, there would be no benefit other than exacerbating the problem and making Lu Shiyuan suffer a bit of physical pain. However, Lu Shiyuan talked too much. It annoyed her. She could not hold back. Lu Shiyuan smiled dismally. So, youve always been on guard against me. You want me to die Ive already said it before. Youre the one who dont believe me. Youre arrogant and conceited. You think that everything is under your control, and that everything goes ording to your wishes. After saying that, Lin Shanchu pulled out the dagger with all her might. Buzz! The long-lost am rang in Lin Shanchus mind. She heard the systems voice that she had blocked for a long time. [Detected that the male leads life is in danger. Immediate rescue is necessary.] What if hes not rescued? Blood was still dripping down the dagger in Lin Shanchus hand. After a while, the systems voice sounded again. [The emergency defense mechanism has been activated. Emergency intervention to the plot has been initiated.] After the voice fell, someone pushed open the office door from the outside. Brother Shiyuan Tang Qidai walked in with a smile on her face, but her expression changed drastically when she saw what was happening inside the office. Brother Shiyuan! Whats wrong with you? Tang Qidai ran over and was shocked to see Lu Shiyuans blood-soaked shirt. She was uncertain about Lu Shiyuans injury, so she dared not reach out to touch him. She asked Lin Shanchu in a trembling voice. What have you done to Brother Shiyuan? Lin Shanchu acted as if she did not hear anything. She calmly picked up a tissue to wipe the blood off the dagger and slowly put it back into her bag. A trace of fear shed across Tang Qidais eyes. Lin Shanchu remained calm ever after doing such a deed. She was really crazy. Somebody! Help! Tang Qidai did not dare to provoke Lin Shanchu, so she could only shout for help. After shouting, she went to ask concernedly about Lu Shiyuans condition. Lu Shiyuan ignored Tang Qidai and looked at Lin Shanchu. Do you really not care about our rtionship at all? His lowered his weak voice and sounded a little fragile. The person who has feelings for you is beside you. Lin Shanchu nodded toward Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai subconsciously cowered and moved closer to Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan smiled. I see. President Lu! Shanshan! Sister Lin! The three people who were waiting outside rushed in together. They were stunned when they saw the scene inside the office. Qi Cheng walked over quickly and sized up Lin Shanchu with a serious expression. Are you alright? Sister Lin He Xiang also looked concernedly at Lin Shanchu. Im fine. Lin Shanchu stood up and carefully adjusted her clothes. Lets go. Zhou Yan observed Lu Shiyuans injuries and took out his phone. Before he could make the call, he heard Lu Shiyuan instruct him, Zhou Yan, take me to the hospital. He was implying not to call an ambnce. President Lu? Zhou Yan was puzzled. Lu Shiyuan did not make a sound. He just looked straight in the direction where Lin Shanchu had left. Lin Shanchu did not turn around to look at him until the door was closed. She really did not care about the rtionship between them at all. For a whole sixteen years, not only did she part with him so easily, but she alsopletely denied the rtionship between them. Lin Shanchu! Lu Shiyuan swore that he would never be soft-hearted towards her again in the future! What are you standing there for? Tang Qidai urged Zhou Yan, Hurry up and take Brother Shiyuan to the hospital! Zhou Yan hurriedly helped Lu Shiyuan up. Zhou Yan, be gentler! Tang Qidai went over to help them. The coat. Lu Shiyuan did not have much strength at this time, and his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. Tang Qidai hurried over to take the coat and draped it around his shoulders. Lu Shiyuan tugged at the coat to cover the blood stains on his shirt. Seeing this, Tang Qidai frowned and took out her phone to call the police. Lu Shiyuan seemed to have expected it and suddenly said, Dont call the police. Lin Shanchu has hurt you so badly. Why are you still being so soft on her? Tang Qidai did not want to let go of this opportunity to teach Lin Shanchu a lesson. She did not even bother to put on the disguise of her usual gentleness and her voice was unusually sharp. Lu Shiyuan closed his eyes weakly. Qidai, you should be abroad right now. He had arranged a flight for Tang Qidai to go abroad. He even ordered Zhou Yan to personally take Tang Qidai to the airport. Tang Qidais appearance at this moment proved that she had not boarded the ne. Brother Shiyuan, I was worried about you, so I Before Tang Qidai could finish her words, Lu Shiyuan pushed her away. Brother Shiyuan Tang Qidai reached out to support him, but Lu Shiyuan avoided her. Tang Qidai subconsciously wanted to follow him, but when she saw Lu Shiyuans warning gaze, she stood still and did not dare to move forward. She gritted her teeth unwillingly. She had schemed for so many years and finally got everything. She would not give up just like that! Lu Shiyuan would not be able to get rid of her. Lin Shanchu would not live a good life either! The atmosphere in the car was unusually tense. After Lin Shanchu got into the car, she rested with her eyes closed. Qi Cheng and He Xiang dared not ask what had happened in the office. When they were almost home, Qi Cheng finally made up his mind and said, Shanshan, just now Dont worry, Lu Shiyuan wont call the police. Lin Shanchus voice soundedzy and her eyes were closed. Qi Cheng was not relieved because of Lin Shanchus words. What if he calls the police? Then Ill go to jail. Lin Shanchus casual tone sounded as if she was just discussing what to eat for breakfast. Sister Lin He Xiang was so scared that her expression changed. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes andforted He Xiang. Dont worry that youll lose your job if I go to jail. Youre meticulous and diligent. Many celebrities want to find an assistant like you. Sister Lin, now is not the time to talk about this. He Xiang was on the verge of tears due to shock. Dont worry, Lu Shiyuan wont call the police. If I go to jail, how will he take revenge on me? Lin Shanchu still had that indifferent done, as if she was talking about someone elses affairs.. Chapter 214 - 214: Brother Xunzhou Is So Cold Chapter 214: Brother Xunzhou Is So Cold Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiang asked cautiously, Sister Lin, if Lu Shiyuan really wants to take revenge on you, will you have a hard time in the future? After a brief silence, Lin Shanchu said, The worst days are over. No matter how difficult the future was, it would not be harder than before. After that, she and Lu Shiyuan would have to rely on their own abilities. Her death or Lu Shiyuans death would be the end. If Lu Shiyuan could kill her, it would be because of his ability. He Xiang did not understand Lin Shanchus words, but she sensed that Lin Shanchu had a mood swing, so she did not ask any more questions. He Xiang looked at Qi Cheng who was sitting in front of her. She thought Qi Cheng had something to ask Lin Shanchu. In the end, Qi Cheng did not ask Lin Shanchu anything else even after they reached the residential area. In the next few days, the three people involved in the incidentLin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidai did not show their faces again, and things eventually quieted down. The topics about other celebrities were on the trending search list again. There were scandals, hype and arguments. However, the degree of attention was not as high as that of Lin Shanchus incident. Manyizens advised Lin Shanchu to break off her engagement on Weibo every day. [A routine question. Has Sister Rabbit annulled the engagement with the disgusting man?] [Oh, not yet. Then Ille back tomorrow.] [Call off the engagement. Theres nothing memorable about a scumbag like him.] [Sister, listen to the peoples advice for your own good.] [Respect the blessing? No way, I have to wait until the day Sister breaks off the engagement with the disgusting man even if it costs me my life.] [Up until now, Sister has done everything on her own. I will always support Sister Rabbit!] Lin Shanchu had been staying at home for a few days, browsing Weibo, watching TV shows, eating and drinking. Then, she received a call from Nan Mil. Come to my house for dinner tonight. Didnt we agree before? Nan Mu chuckled. Ive already told Xunzhou that youreing to my house to cook. Theyreing tonight too. Lin Shanchu took He Xiang to Nan Mus house in the evening. From afar, she could see Nan Mu standing at the entrance of the residential area and looking out. When Nan Mu saw Lin Shanchus car, he happily ran over to help Lin Shanchu open the car door. Youre here. Get out of the car quickly. Lin Shanchu raised an eyebrow. President Nan, if the reporters were to take a picture of this, I wonder what they would write about it. Nan Mu looked around vigntly upon hearing her words. After confirming that there were no reporters, he chuckled. Whats wrong with that? Isnt it normal for a boss to open the car door for thepanys popr artist? Do you believe Ill deify youter? Lin Shanchu was speechless as she quietly got out of the car and walked into the neighborhood. She really did not understand how Huo Xunzhou managed to be friends with Nan Mu for so many years, given his personality. When they went upstairs, Nan Mu told Lin Shanchu that he had bought the groceries and asked Lin Shanchu to see if they were enough. Lin Shanchu walked into the kitchen and saw that the groceries were piled up into a small hill on the countertop. If they are not enough, Ill go buy it now, Nan Mu said next to her. Lin Shanchu nced at him and said, They are more than enough to raise pigs. Nan Mu was silent for two seconds before heughed loudly. You called Xunzhou a pig, hahaha At this moment, the doorbell rang. Its probably Xunzhou. Go and open the door. Nan Mu urged Lin Shan. He Xiang was Huo Xunzhous fan, so she wanted to tag along. Nan Mu stopped her. He Xiang, stay here and help me wash the vegetables. Alright Since the boss had given the order, He Xiang could only stay. Lin Shanchu opened the door and saw Huo Xunzhou. However, there were other people outside the door besides Huo Xunzhou. Hey, silly girl. Huo Chaosheng stood behind Huo Xunzhous wheelchair and waved at her with a smile, looking annoying. Li MO was not there. It was obvious that Huo Chaosheng had brought Huo Xunzhou here. Lin Shanchu stood aside without saying a word, gesturing for them to enter the house. Huo Chaosheng pushed Huo Xunzhou in. Huo Xunzhou nodded slightly at Lin Shanchu before he went inside to look for Nan Mu. Lin Shanchu closed the door and wanted to follow him, but Huo Chaosheng stopped her. Huo Chaosheng raised his chin and said smugly, Li MO went out to handle some matters and hes not at home. Third Brother didnt n toe here, but I persuaded him toe over. So? Lin Shanchu really did not understand what was there to be proud of. Dont you like him? Huo Chaosheng said seriously, Ive created an opportunity for you. Lin Shanchu was at a loss for words. It was her fault for misspeaking herself thest time. Huo Chaosheng even winked at her, begging for praise. Thank you. Lin Shanchus tone did not sound sincere. However, Huo Chaosheng did not mind it at all. Put it into action. He was simr to Huo Xunzhou. He wanted gratitude to be shown through actions. What do you want to eat? Ill make one just for you, Lin Shanchu said patiently. Huo Chaosheng blurted out, Curry beef. Alright. Lin Shanchu felt that it was a little strange. Since Huo Chaosheng would hurt someone close to Huo Xunzhou, why was he still so friendly to her after thinking that she liked Huo Xunzhou? Could it be that Huo Chaosheng felt that it was just her unrequited love for Huo Xunzhou and she was not considered being close to him? If Huo Xunzhou liked her, Huo Chaosheng would probably attack her. Sister Lin! He Xiangs voice came from the kitchen and interrupted Lin Shanchus thoughts. Lin Shanchu strode towards the kitchen. Shortly afterwards, Huo Chaosheng walked over. He leaned against the countertop and said with a smile, Ill get Third Brother toe over and help you. Lin Shanchu was about to refuse him, but she bit her tongue when she thought that she was now in a state of liking Huo Xunzhou. He wonte. If someone else calls him, he definitely wonte, Huo Chaosheng said confidently. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Chaosheng suspiciously. If you call him, will hee? Of course. Huo Chaosheng said proudly, Wait for me. After a brief while. Huo Chaosheng really brought Huo Xunzhou over. Huo Chaosheng said to He Xiang, Sister, I need your help with something. He Xiang blushed and looked at Lin Shanchu, asking her opinion. Lin Shanchu said, Go. He Xiang left with Huo Chaosheng. Before Huo Chaosheng left, he turned around and gave Lin Shanchu a cheering gesture. The kitchen was open. The living room was very big, and the two of them were soon far away. Only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were left in the kitchen. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou with a faint smile. Youre quite good to your younger brother. Huo Xunzhou declined toment about it and asked, Do we have to deal with all these vegetables? His tone was serious, as if he was really just here to help her deal with the vegetables. Brother Xunzhou is so cold. Lin Shanchu smiled. Huo Xunzhou ignored her and turned to wash the vegetables. Lin Shanchu looked at his back and stopped smiling before she slowly asked, Do you know Qiao Jiaxm? Chapter 215 - 215: Anything Is Fine Other Than Marrying Me Chapter 215: Anything Is Fine Other Than Marrying Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The artist who helped you post the rification on Weibo? Huo Xunzhous hands did not stop moving and his tone was extremely natural. Lin Shanchu walked to the sink and looked sideways at him. Yes, thats her. Chaosheng mentioned her before. What Huo Xunzhou meant was that he had learned Qiao Jiaxis name from Huo Chaosheng. For the past two days, Lin Shanchu had been thinking about the identity of the person who had stolen Qiao Jiaxis ount and helped her post the rification on Weibo. Someone who could go to such lengths to do such a thing for her must be someone who knew her situation like the back of their hand and was very concerned about her. There were only one or two people who fulfilled these two conditions. The first person she thought of was her uncle Lin Suguang. However, her uncle often went out to collect cultural material. After he entered the filming state, he wouldpletely forget to eat and sleep. Naturally, he did not bother to surf the Inte. Moreover, her uncle was thousands of miles away from her. Even if he wanted to, he could not have known that Qiao Jiaxi had the video. A famous detective novelist once said that after eliminating the impossible, whatever remained would be the truth, no matter how unbelievable it was. Although she found it unbelievable, Huo Xunzhou was the only other person who had triggered the Heartbeat Value reward other than her uncle. A turbulence was hidden beneath this mans calm appearance. As long as he wanted to, he could do anything he wanted. This was the sentence used to describe Huo Xunzhou in the original text. It left a deep impression on Lin Shanchu. Brother Xunzhou, its okay if you dont admit it. I just know it in my heart. Huo Xunzhou stretched out his hands and was about to turn off the water tap. When he heard what she said, water sshed up and immediately soaked the cotton sleeves of his shirt. After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, Huo Xunzhou chuckled. Sister Shanshan, just cut to the chase if you have something to say. His tone could not be more serious. He was clearly ying dumb with her, but he made it sound like she was not calm enough. Lin Shanchu was a little angry and red at him. What other dishes do you need to deal with? Huo Xunzhous smile deepened. Lin Shanchu suddenly asked with a smile, Do you know what Ive been doing at home for the past few days? What did you do? Huo Xunzhou was very cooperative this time. I watched your interview. When Lin Shanchu saw that his calm expression remained unchanged, she added, I stayed upte to watch all your interviews. Only then did Huo Xunzhous expression change slightly. Why did Shanshan stay upte to watch his interview? Since when did she care so much about him? One of your early interviews left a deep impression on me. You said that you had many part-time jobs before you debuted, like helping people repairputers You even said that repairingputers is more profitable than filming. When Huo Xunzhou first debuted, his pay was not high. Lin Shanchus eyes widened as she tilted her head and asked curiously, Brother Xunzhou, I really couldnt tell that youre aputer expert. Huo Xunzhou looked a little ufortable. He tightened his grip on the sink with a tense look on his face before loosening it. I did it. So what? His slightly raised voice sounded like he got nothing to lose. He had clearly helped her, but he still refused to admit it. It was awkward to admitting it. Lin Shanchu blinked frantically, trying not tough. Ill have to thank you then. Think carefully how youre going to thank me, Huo Xunzhou said expressionlessly. Huh? Lin Shanchu was stunned. Didnt he just refuse to admit it? Now he wanted her to thank him? This man was ever-changing! Lin Shanchu snorted. Anything is fine other than marrying me. Upon hearing her words, Huo Xunzhou nced at her and his eyes darkened. Lin Shanchus expression also turned serious. After dealing with Lu Shiyuan, I will travel around the world and leave Xu City forever. I will nevere back. In the living room not far away, Nan Mu and Huo Chaosheng were ying a console game, insisting He Xiang who was sitting at the side to be their referee. The three of them were noisy. In addition, the game sound even made the room noisier. Their voices reached the kitchen, but failed to break the suffocating silence at this moment. Huo Xunzhou remained silent after hearing Lin Shanchus words. He sat there motionless, silent and cold. Even the surrounding air became silent and oppressive, making ones blood run cold. It was always the easiest tomunicate with smart people. There was no need to exin it thoroughly. One just had to stop after getting to the point. Lin Shanchu thought that Huo Xunzhou must have understood her intention behind her words. Huo Xunzhou had never concealed his kindness toward her. He was very magnanimous. Her senses were still normal, so she naturally sensed it. She was not too sure before, but she was sure of it after he stole Qiao Jiaxis ount and posted on Weibo. Someone cold and clear-headed person like Huo Xunzhou had personally done such a thing for her It really made ones heart flutter. It was said that life was full of surprises, but that was someone elses life. It was not hers. The only thing she could do to repay Huo Zhangzhou was not to dy returning the favor. As long as she did not dy returning the favor, she would not let him down. It would be good for everyone if she could make things clear as soon as possible. After a long silence, Lin Shanchu turned around and prepared to cut the vegetables. She thought that Huo Xunzhou would never speak again. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou suddenly asked her, You will nevere back? What do you mean by that? Lin Shanchu turned around in shock and met Huo Xunzhous deep eyes, but she could not tell his emotions. She thought that she had made herself clear enough. She and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other for a moment and finally saw the stubbornness in his eyes. He clearly understood the meaning behind her words. However, he stubbornly asked again. Lin Shanchus heart softened. Its just that I dont want to see anything or anyone here anymore. After all After pausing for a moment, Lin Shanchu smiled as she continued, Theres nothing memorable in this ce. Her beautiful charming eyes dimmed like a falling star. Lin Shanchu smiled gently. Life was as unpredictable as the sea, winding ups and downs like mountains, but one would finish their life in the end. A passer-by like her weighed nothing in Huo Xunzhous abundant life. After a short period of disappointment, he would continue his journey and walk into the distance. Unfortunately, her ability was limited. She had no strength to repay his favors. Have you started cooking? Im a little hungry. Huo Chaosheng ran over. He sensed that the atmosphere was not right. Lin Shanchu looked normal, but Huo Xunzhous expression was a little scary. He looked calm, but it seemed that a storm wasing. Huo Chaosheng gave Lin Shanchu a look and asked her about the situation. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes wide and pretended to be innocent. Huo Chaosheng frowned and stammered, Third Brother. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him coldly. How about Or should I help Lin Shanchu wash the vegetables Before Huo Chaosheng could finish his words, Huo Xunzhou had already left. Huo Chaosheng leaned forward Lin Shanchu and asked her with a scrutinizing look, What did you do to make Third Brother so angry? Lin Shanchu did not answer immediately on purpose. She was thinking about how to make her words sound more believable.. Chapter 216 - 216: Drug Him Chapter 216: Drug Him Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Huo Chaosheng saw that Lin Shanchu was silent, he couldnt help but let his imagination run wild. Did you molest Third Brother? Lin Shanchu understood what Huo Chaosheng meant. She looked calm as she said, I had no choice. Your Third Brother is too good-looking, so I couldnt help but kiss him. Huo Chaoshengs eyes widened in shock at first, but then he became excited again. Youre really bold! Third Brother has always hated women touching him the most! Huo Chaosheng patted Lin Shanchu on the shoulder andforted her. But dont worry, Third Brother wont hire someone to kill you for my sake. In that case, the fact that she was still alive after forcing a kiss on Huo Xunzhou thest time due to Huo Xunzhous mercy. As Lin Shanchus lips twitched, she turned around and silently prepared the dishes. Huo Chaosheng crossed his arms and leaned over slightly. He then lowered his voice and said, If you really like Third Brother that much, I can help you. Lin Shanchu asked, How are you going to help me? Huo Chaosheng replied, Drug him and take him to your bed. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Huo Chaoshengs tone sounded rxed yet serious without the slightest intention of joking. He was so calm as if he was talking about something very ordinary. Huo Chaosheng advised her, You cant win his heart, but you can win his body. Go away. Dont disturb me when Im cooking. Lin Shanchu felt that she should not have talked to Huo Chaosheng in the first ce. Just let me know when youve thought it through. Huo Chaoshengs words showed a bit of loyalty between friends. Lin Shanchu gave him a basket of tomatoes and ordered him, Peel them! Oh. Huo Chaosheng obediently began to peel the tomatoes. Lin Shanchu was surprised. She suddenly realized that it was not hard to figure out Huo Chaoshengs personality. He had an extraordinary good temper and patience towards the people and things he was interested in. Huo Chaosheng was interested in her and felt that she was of the same species. He wanted to be friends with her. Even if she was cold to him, he would never get angry. When he was ruthless, he could push Jiang Ziyu down the stairs without batting an eye. Putting everything else aside, there was something pure about this personality with distinct likes and dislikes. She felt that Huo Chaosheng was a pervert, but in fact she was not much better than him. In the original book, she was a kind character who would rather starve herself to spend money on treating stray cats. Now, when she stabbed someone, not only did she not show mercy, but she also felt that she was not ruthless enough. How was she different from Huo Chaosheng? Dinner was served at 7:00 p.m. sharp. Just as the dishes were served, Nan Mus phone rang. It was unknown what the person on the other end of the phone had said, but Nan Mu replied, Were just about to eat. Come over directly. After hanging up the phone, Nan Mu said to Lin Shanchu, Its Qi Cheng. He happens to be near my house now. He said that he wanted to find me for some business, so I asked him toe over directly. Qi Cheng arrived shortly afterwards. Nan Mu beckoned Qi Cheng to take a seat. Youre lucky with delicious food today. Its Shanshans cooking. Is Shanshans cooking that good? After looking at the table full of dishes, Qi Cheng turned to look at Lin Shanchu in surprise. Lin Shanchu smiled at him. He Xiang, who was on the side, ate two mouthfuls of food. She then looked at Lin Shanchu with aplicated expression, looking like she wanted to say something. Are they not to your liking? Lin Shanchu asked. No He Xiang pursed her lips before she continued, Its too delicious, Sister Lin. Do you usually think my cooking is very Lin Shanchu interrupted her, Its not bad. He Xiang had done her best and cooked for her in a different way every day. She had seen He Xiang searching for recipes several times, and she would spend a long time looking at them. On the other hand, Huo Chaosheng suddenly said, Third Brother, marry Lin Shanchu. When Lin Shanchu looked up, Huo Chaosheng was taking a big bite of rice with his chopsticks. The way he ate was a little more exaggerated than usual. Huo Xunzhou merely nced at him coldly. Im serious. Huo Chaosheng exined, In that way, I can go to your house every day to eat my sister -in ws cooking. Lin Shanchu unceremoniously kicked him under the table and gave him a warning look. Huo Chaosheng harrumphed and quieted down. Nan Mu had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so his ability to read people was first-ss. He had long noticed that the atmosphere between Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu was off. Huo Xunzhou had been grimacing aftering out of the kitchen earlier. He guessed that the two of them had quarreled again. However, the argument was clearly a little intense this time because Huo Xunzhou had deliberately chosen a seat where he could not see Lin Shanchu. Nan Mu sighed inwardly. After all, he was the owner of the house. At this time, he should say something happy to liven up the atmosphere. Have you guys heard about it? Someone stabbed Lu Shiyuan with a knife a few days ago. He was discharged after lying in the ICU all night. After Nan Mu finished speaking with a happy look on his face, he picked up the wine ss and drank it directly. Then, he picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for everyone. Hemented, Whoever brave person did it, they must have harbored a deep hatred against Lu Shiyuan. Qi Cheng and He Xiang looked at Lin Shanchu at the same time. Lin Shanchu had an unconcerned look on her face, as if she did not hear those words. However, Lu Shiyuan will definitely not let go of the person who stabbed him Nan Mu noticed that Qi Cheng and He Xiang were both looking at Lin Shanchu with strange expressions. Now that Lin Shanchu was Tianzhou Medias cash cow, Nan Mu was very sensitive about her affairs. He also looked at Lin Shanchu and asked, Whats wrong? Two days ago, Qi Cheng was a little worried that Lu Shiyuan would call the police. However, he was relieved when nothing happened after two days. Since Lin Shanchu was present, it was up to her to decide if she wanted to tell Nan Mu. He Xiang saw that Qi Cheng yed dumb by lowering his head and eating the food, she also followed suit. Are you guys hiding something from me? Nan Mu felt a sense of foreboding. At this moment, Lin Shanchu said, I did it. For a moment, Nan Mu did not catch what she said. What did you do? I stabbed Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu looked up at him. Her voice was t, but her tone was gentle. Thud! Nan Mu was so scared that he dropped the chopsticks in his hand. On the other hand, Huo Chaoshengs eyes gleamed with excitement. Huo Xunzhou was unconcerned and was the only one who continued eating dinner. Lin Shanchu took in Huo Xunzhous reaction. He must have given up on her. It was good too. Nan Mu had wanted to test Huo Xunzhous opinion, but he did not react at all like an outsider. Nan Mu was upset as he asked Lin Shanchu, Have you thought about the consequences? He wont call the police, and he wont expose this incident. I can still continue to work and make money for thepany. The most serious consequence would be that Lu Shiyuan would think of ways to make her suffer a fate worse than death, but she would not resign herself to him. Huo Xunzhou did not make any statement. Nan Mu did not know what to say either, so he did not pursue the matter further.. Chapter 217 - 217: I Can ‘t Meddle In Her Affairs Chapter 217: I Can t Meddle In Her Affairs Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The dinner ended in a depressing atmosphere. Even though the atmosphere was depressing, it did not affect everyones appetite. There were not many dishes left on the table. When everyone was clearing the table, Nan Mu shouted with a heartbroken look on his face, Dont throw the food. Save it, and Ill eat it tomorrow. When Lin Shanchu saw that he even kept the soup, she asked with aplicated tone, President Nan, has thepany been doing poorly recently? No, its pretty good, especially My Stage. Thepany made a lot of money because of your poprity. Ill give you a bonuster Nan Mu said as he carefully poured the soup into a container. The boss behind nzhou Media was Huo Xunzhou, but judging by his character, it was impossible for him to mistreat Nan Mu. Lin Shanchu felt that Nan Mus actions of pouring the soup were shameful. At this moment, the doorbell rang. Huo Xunzhou, who had been silent all this while, said, Chaosheng, open the door. When Lin Shanchu heard that, she knew that the person outside the door was LiMo. After Li MO entered the house, he strode towards the dining table. His face looked serious and his footsteps were fast, as if there was an urgent matter. When he passed by Huo Xunzhou, he called out sternly, Big brother. Then, he walked straight to the dining table and said to Nan Mu, I havent eaten yet. He also knew that Lin Shanchu was the one cooking today. However, he had to do something very important at the eleventh hour, so he did note over. Nan Mu held the food container in front of him and said, Theres not much food left and its all cold. You can eat outside. LiMo swallowed. I dont mind. Since it was Lin Shanchus cooking, not cleaning the te was thest etiquette he could maintain. Huo Xunzhou looked over. He only called Li MO by his name without saying anything else. Li MO looked at the food container reluctantly. Im leaving. Nan Mu replied, Goodbye! Huo Chaosheng naturally had to leave with them. Before he left, he winked at Lin Shanchu. Ill chat with youter. Lin Shanchu nced at him indifferently and then looked away. After He Xiang helped Nan Mu and the others clean up the table, Lin Shanchu nned to go home. If you have something to say, just say it. Lin Shanchu felt dizzy looking at him. Nan Mu immediately sat down beside her. How did you mess with Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment before averting her eyes. It was a sign of avoiding the topic. Nan Mu did not force her. I have no other intentions. I just want to know how angry Xunzhou is so that I can decide if I should avoid him for the time being. Lin Shanchu thought about it seriously. It should be to the extent that he doesnt want to see me again in this lifetime. Nan Mu was astonished with his eyes wide open in front of Lin Shanchu. I understand Lin Shanchu looked up and saw Qi Cheng and He Xiang walking over. Brother Qi, are youing with us? Im not leaving now. Qi Cheng pointed at Nan Mu beside him. I have some business with President Nan. Oh, Lin Shanchu said and then left with He Xiang. Whats so urgent that you even came to my house? Nan Mu asked Qi Cheng. Its about Shanshan, Qi Cheng said seriously. Nan Mu was frightened by his tone. What else did she do behind my back? Other than Lu Shiyuan, has she stabbed that one called Chedai as well? Thisdy had the most worry-free face, but she had caused the most unsettling trouble. Chedai? Qi Cheng asked humbly. Nan Mu replied, The woman Lu Shiyuan favors. Qi Cheng was silent for a moment. She didnt. I want to talk about Shanshan herself. Nan Mu heaved a sigh of relief. Please speak. I think theres something unusual about her mental health and her mental state. Nan Mu took a long time to understand what he meant. Do you mean she has a mental illness? Nan Mu frowned and disagreed. Arent you talking nonsense? Other than being brave, she is quite normal in other aspects. I just feel that her condition is somewhat simr to Jing Mings before his death. We need to find a professional doctor to confirm her condition. Before Jing Ming passed away, his mental state was not very good. Although he did not beg for death, his temperament had changed drastically and he just bent on dealing with Lu Shiyuan. He became keen and extreme to the point of almost bing crazy. Qi Cheng had to take care of a neer during that period of time. In addition, he was a little impetuous after he made a name for himself among his peers, so he did not take Jing Mings changes to heart.. After a while, Nan Mu said softly, Do you think Shanshan will agree to consult a doctor? Qi Cheng fell silent. He had not gotten along with Lin Shanchu for a long time, but he had a rough idea of her personality. Lin Shanchu naturally would not agree to it. I cant meddle in her affairs, but I will keep an eye on her. Only Xunzhou could meddle in her affairs. Qi Cheng looked at him in confusion. Dont worry, someone will take care of it. Nan Mu picked up his phone and looked at the time. Alright, its gettingte. You should leave quickly. After Lin Shanchus holiday ended, thepany began to arrange work for her. Qi Cheng came to look for her early in the morning. Theres a pretty good female brand endorsement. Take a look. Lin Shanchu did not even look at him and said, Brother Qi, whatever catches your eye is good of course. Ill just ept the job. Qi Cheng couldnt help butugh. Arent you afraid that Ill scam you? I believe in you. Lin Shanchu smiled at him, her clear eyes looking extremely sincere. Qi Chengughed. Do you remember the dress you wore to Lu Corporation that day? Theyve been sold out for the past two days. That dress is not bad. Although its a domestic brand, its reputation has been good. The brand owner have always been cautious and strict when ites to choosing their spokesperson. They chose you this time not only because of your ability inmerce, but also because your temperament matches their brand. The brand owner is very sincere Qi Cheng briefed Lin Shanchu about the brands situation and talked some other things. By the time they finished chatting, it was already lunchtime. He Xiang had prepared lunch, so Lin Shanchu asked Qi Cheng to stay for lunch together. Qi Cheng quietly observed Lin Shanchus words and actions. It was indeed as Nan Mu had saidshe looked very normal. However, he somehow felt that Lin Shanchu and Qi Cheng were somewhat simr. At the thought of this, Qi Cheng said gently to Lin Shanchu, Shanshan, feel free to talk to me about anything if you dont mind. Okay. Thank you, Brother Qi, Lin Shanchu answered straightforwardly. Qi Cheng sighed imperceptibly. That strange feeling came again. The more cooperative Lin Shanchu was, the weirder he felt. He could not tell which aspect of her was weird. As Lin Shanchu ate her meal, she sensed that something was wrong. After raising her head and looking at He Xiang, she realized what was wrong. He Xiang, why didnt you say anything? He Xiang was a mobile phone fanatic. During meals, she would usually hold her phone and talk to Lin Shanchu about everything she saw.. Chapter 218 - 218: Suicide Due to Cyberbullying Chapter 218: Suicide Due to Cyberbullying Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion I have nothing to say. He Xiang forced a smile. She did not speak, nor did she look at her phone. It was abnormal. He Xiang had something on her mind, but she did not want to speak out. Lin Shanchu did not intend to ask further questions. In the afternoon, Qi Cheng took Lin Shanchu to meet the brand owner. He Xiang went along with them, and she was in good condition. Lin Shanchu thought that the issue weighing on He Xiangs mind was not serious. When they passed by Tianzhou Media on their way back, Qi Cheng asked Lin Shanchu if she wanted to go to thepany to take a look. Since it was still early, Lin Shanchu nodded. Lin Shanchu heard Ji Yuans voice as soon as she entered thepany. Sis, why did thepany suddenly ask us to fill this out? How are we supposed to fill it out? Just fill it in ording to your true thoughts. Fill it out quickly and leave. You still have activities tonight Ji Yuan turned the pen in his hand. When he turned his head and saw Shanchu, his eyes gleamed instantly. Sister Lin! Why have youe to thepany? Im just passing by. Lin Shanchu nced at the table in front of Ji Yuan and saw the words on it. Mental health assessment form? Yes. Ji Yuan nodded. Thepany asked me to fill it out. Every artist has to fill it out. Qi Cheng had already handed Lin Shanchu a form and a pen. Lin Shanchu took the pen and asked, Why do we have to fill this out? President Nan must be very concerned about our mental health, Ji Yuan said seriously. Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows and started filling in the form. Ji Yuan, who was sitting opposite her, leaned forward with his elbows on the table and craned his neck to read Lin Shanchus answer. What are you doing? Lin Shanchu noticed his little move. Ji Yuan eagerly said, Let me copy it. Its not like were doing homework. Lin Shanchu did not allow him to copy it. Se quickly filled it out and handed it to Qi Cheng. As the finals of My Stage was around the corner, Nan Mu went to the training camp for inspection and was not at thepany. Lin Shanchu turned around and prepared to leave. Ji Yuan followed her. Sister Lin, how have you been recently? Im fine, Lin Shanchu said coldly. When she got into the car, Ji Yuan waved at her. Sister Lin, Ill treat you to a meal when Im free. Lin Shanchu turned to look at him. Youre my great benefactor, Ji Yuan said with a smile. Lin Shanchu waved at him, gesturing for him to leave quickly. She just identally made Fu Jue fall from grace. Thepany quickly signed a contract with the brand owner. As soon as the contract was signed, the brand owner announced it on Weibo. The storm had just passed, but Lin Shanchus poprity was still at a high level. Before the brand owner could make the announcement to the trending search list, Lin Shanchus endorsement was trending because of her fans andizens who followed her. Of course, unlike the fans who would always put in a good word for Lin Shanchu, theizens had been showing mixed attitudes towards her. [Sister Rabbit, congrattions for your endorsement.] [My favorite clothing brand is endorsed by someone I like. Go!] [Isnt this brand very cautious when choosing their endorser? Now, they are shameless for the sake of poprity and even want someone like Lin Shanchu to be their endorser?] [Lin Shanchus assistant is Tang Qidais assistant. She stole Tang Qidais things and even insulted her behind her back. Thats why Tang Qidai couldnt help but hit her that day. Thats the truth.] Lin Shanchu read thestment carefully a few times. No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem like a normalizensment. Lin Shanchu swiped down and saw a few more identicalments. Did Tang Qidai hire Inte trolls? It seemed that she still had not given up. She even hired the Inte trolls to test the publics attitude and find out if they could stir up a storm. Unfortunately, without Lu Shiyuans help, what could Tang Qidai achieve? She had hired Inte trolls to stir up trouble online, but it just sank like a lead balloon and could not make waves. Lin Shanchu sent a screenshot to Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng called her very quickly. Since two days ago, I noticed some Inte trolls have been posting thesements on Weibo. Tang Qidai probably still hasnt given up and wants to stir up trouble to affect your reputation. Ive already gotten people to pay attention to it. Dont worry, rest early tonight. You still have to go for the photoshoot tomorrow morning. Alright. Qi Cheng was really a very capable manager. He handled the matter properly without saying a word. Since Tang Qidai had been hiring Inte trolls to stir up trouble two days ago, wouldnt she go crazy when she Lin Shanchus announcement about the endorsement? Lin Shanchus intuition told her that Tang Qidai was still up to something. Sister Lin, its time for dinner. He Xiangs voice came from the dining room. Lin Shanchu sat down at the table and watched He Xiang busy serving the dishes. He Xiang noticed her gaze. Sister Lin, why are you looking at me like that? Ive seen thements posted by the Inte trolls on Weibo. Lin Shanchu did not say the content of thements directly, but when she saw a slight change in He Xiangs expression, she knew that she had made the right guess. He Xiangs abnormality these two days was really because of thements of the Inte trolls. Lin Shanchu did not say anything tofort her. Instead, she said, Brother Qi will handle this matter. He Xiang shook her head and said seriously, I just feel that Ive implicated you. Lin Shanchu was slightly startled. She thought that He Xiang was upset because of thements of the Inte trolls. Even without you, Tang Qidai would still think of ways to go against me. I have to thank you for making her suffer such a great loss this time. He Xiang rxed and smiled. Early next morning, Qi Cheng came to pick Lin Shanchu up and headed to the studio. She was going to stay in the studio for the whole day. Qi Cheng only had Lin Shanchu as the only artist now, so he had plenty of time and also stayed in the studio for the whole day. Even if he had to leave halfway, he would be back in an hour at most. When they were resting after dinner, Qi Cheng told Lin Shanchu that it would be over by 9:00 p.m. Okay. Lin Shanchu woke up and went out at 5:00 a.m. She was already a little tired after the whole day. He Xiang could tell that she was tired and walked over to help her rx with a simple massage. Once the break time was over, Lin Shanchu pulled herself together and got back to work. When the photoshoot was almost over, Lin Shanchu inadvertently nced at Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng happened to go out to answer the phone. Lin Shanchu cooperated with the cameraman to change her posture and avert her gaze. The photoshoot ended ten minutester. Qi Cheng had already returned. He grimaced while holding his phone in his hand. He Xiang walked over and asked a few questions. Then, her expression changed all of a sudden. The staff member beside Lin Shanchu said to her, Teacher Lin, good job. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and replied, Good job, everyone. After briefly saying a few words to the staff, Lin Shanchu walked over to Qi Cheng. Before Lin Shanchu could ask a question, Qi Cheng took the initiative and said, Something bad happened. It seemed that it was a serious matter as Qi Chengs expression even changed. Qi Cheng immediately continued, Kong Suyi is dead and is on the trending search list. Lin Shanchu frowned. How did he die? She was Tang Qidais manager. She died at this critical juncture. If it was an ordinary ident, it definitely would not have be a trending topic. She probably died in a strange way. Qi Cheng lowered his voice and said four words, Suicide due to cyberbullying.. Chapter 219 - 219: I Know Who It Is Chapter 219: I Know Who It Is Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Another suicide? Lin Shanchu and Qi Cheng exchanged nces, and they both saw the suspicion in each others eyes. As Jing Mings death set a precedent, they found it hard to believe that Kong Suyi hadmitted suicide. Theres no way Kong Suyi wouldmit suicide. Shes ambitious and unscrupulous. Moreover, shes been in the entertainment industry for so many years. Its even more impossible for her tomit suicide because of cyberbullying. He Xiang suddenly spoke in a firm tone. Its not important whether shemitted suicide or not, Qi Cheng said in a deep voice. The most important thing now is that someone is deliberately leading people to believe our fans have cyberbullied Kong Suyi and caused her tomit suicide. Who is leading them? If Tang Qidai had done it, Qi Cheng would have said her name directly. Qi Cheng shook his head. Im not sure who it is exactly, but Im sure its someone with great power in the industry. He Xiang, give me your phone. Lin Shanchu extended her hand to He Xiang. He Xiang quickly passed the phone to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu quickly clicked open the entertainment ranking on Weibo. The hashtag #TangQidaisManagerSuicide was trending. This topic ranked first and was very eye-catching. The first Weibo post was posted by a veteran marketing ount. [Tang Qidais manager is suspected to havemitted suicide at home after being unable to withstand the pressure of cyberbullying. She was sent to the hospital but failed to be rescued. She has been dered dead] Several medical records and photos of the ambnce, coupled with some screenshots of thements under Kong Suyis post, were attached to the Weibo post. Thements in the screenshots were all condemning Kong Suyi, and all the avatars used by these people were photos of Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was not mentioned in the Weibo post, but the direction of these screenshots was obviousLin Shanchus fans had cyberbullied Kong Suyi and caused her tomit suicide. As the saying went, a celebrity had to be responsible for their fans conducts. This Weibo post was ultimately directed at Lin Shanchu. Someizens in thements section had already med Lin Shanchu for Kong Suyis death. [Who doesnt know her fans are totally crazy? They cyberbully whomever their target. They dont even let a manager off the hook.] [Whose fans are they? You dont even dare to say her name.] [Lin Shanchus fans.] [Lin Shanchu is too cruel, isnt she? She has a beef with Tang Qidai, but why did she let her fans condemn her manager?] [I went to see thements condemning Kong Suyi. Theyre all posted in the past two days. Besides, theyre all dummy ounts. Lin Shanchus fans are very active and good at manipting data. Moreover, Lin Shanchu just announced her endorsement. No matter how stupid her fans are, they couldnt possibly do such a thing at this critical juncture, right?] [The sister above is really brave. I raised the same question before, but I was overwhelmed by a group of dummy ounts.] [I can see a rationalment atst. I looked around and thought that I was the only one who felt that something was wrong.] [Although the deceased should be respected, I still have to say something. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that someone is trying to mess with Lin Shanchu] The topments in thement section were all negativements about Lin Shanchu. The more rationalments were pushed to the bottom of the post. The other party came menacingly and ruthlessly. They deliberately took advantage of your official announcement and made such a move at this juncture. They havemitted themselves to mess with you. After saying that, Qi Cheng sighed. Its my fault. I had been paying attention to Tang Qidai and thought she would cause a bigmotion I even got someone to keep an eye on her I know who it is, Lin Shanchu said calmly. Who is it? Qi Cheng asked. Lin Shanchu asked him instead, Dont you think this series of operations are familiar? Suicide, leading public opinion and throwing mud at someone. Qi Cheng suddenly came to his senses. Are you saying its Lu Qi Cheng suddenly fell silent after realizing that his voice was too loud. Lin Shanchu slowly curled her lip and said softly, His revenge on me has begun. In the past, Lu Shiyuan tampered with the trending search list and hired the Inte trolls to guide public opinion so that he could pave the way for Tang Qidai. Now that Tang Qidai had fallen from grace, Lu Shiyuan did it all just to target Lin Shanchu. He Xiang also looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. Lin Shanchu looked around. The other staff members were packing up their stuff, so it was time for her to go home and rest. Lets go back. Im a little tired. Lin Shanchu walked ahead and left the studio first. When Qi Cheng saw her calm expression, he wondered if his previous guess was wrong. Lin Shanchu was not even worried about such a major incident. She had such a good mentality. How could she look like someone with a mental condition? Suddenly, Qi Cheng thought of something and hurriedly chased after her. Shanshan, wait! Fortunately, Lin Shanchu walked slowly. Qi Cheng quickly caught up to her. There must be reporters waiting for you outside. We cant leave from the main entrance. Got it. Lin Shanchu raised her wrist and checked the time. It was almost 10:00 p.m. These reporters were really dedicated. Didnt they have to sleep? Under the cover of an experienced manager, Lin Shanchu sessfully avoided the reporters and returned home. Before Qi Cheng left, he reminded her, Dont simply leave the house. Call me directly if theres anything. My phone is turned on 24/7. Alright. Also, thepany has already made arrangements. Judging from the current situation, Lu Shiyuan wont have the upper hand either Qi Cheng thought about it and swallowed the words dont worry because Lin Shanchu did not look worried at all. After sending Qi Cheng off, Lin Shanchu turned around and called out to He Xiang. He Xiang, is there anything to eat at home? He Xiang was preparing a bath for Lin Shanchu in the master bedrooms bathroom. Yes! He Xiang ran to the bathroom door and looked at her. What do you want to eat? Lin Shanchu blinked and said, Fried chicken or instant noodles. It will be even better if both are present. He Xiang was a little troubled. Brother Qi told me not to let you eat junk food. Although Qi Cheng did not deliberately control Lin Shanchus diet, he did not allow her to eat junk food. Hes not here. He wont know. Lin Shanchu smiled at her, looking harmless. He Xiang could not take it and nodded in a daze. Alright, wait for me. He Xiang returned to the bathroom to prepare Lin Shanchus bath before running out again. Sister Lin, Ive finished preparing the bathroom. You should go in and take a bath. After that, you cane out and eat fried chicken and instant noodles. Ill give you a raise. Lin Shanchu pinched her index finger and thumb and made a heart gesture to He Xiang. He Xiang was speechless. She had been working for less than ten days, but she could not remember the number of times Lin Shanchu had offered to raise her sry. Right after Lin Shanchu came out of the bathfortably, He Xiang served fried chicken and instant noodles to the table. The fried chicken and instant noodles had just been cooked. He Xiang had timed it very urately. She was very attentive. Lin Shanchu felt that if she really left Xu City in the future, she would probably be reluctant to part with He Xiang. He Xiang was too considerate. Lets eat together. Lin Shanchu rolled up her sleeves. Im on a diet. He Xiang shook her head.. Chapter 220 - 220: A Deadly Recording Chapter 220: A Deadly Recording Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiang just sat opposite Lin Shanchu, watching her eat supper. Looking at Lin Shanchu, He Xiang was a little puzzled. Sister Lin, why do I feel like youre getting thinner and thinner? When she was at home, she cooked for Lin Shanchu in a variety of ways every day and ensured the nutrition was well-bnced. Lin Shanchu also ate quite a bit. However, Lin Shanchu was getting thinner and thinner, let alone gaining weight. She had not been busy with work recently and her diet was normal. Logically speaking, even if she did not gain weight, she would not be getting thinner. Is that so? Lin Shanchu touched her face. He Xiang nodded solemnly. Its fine, my body is like this. Lin Shanchu smiled faintly. Even though she had exchanged the so-called health points with the system, her body only looked healthy. In the original book, she only realized it in theter stages of the plot. Her uncle came back to save her and faked her death before sessfully sending her abroad. He also arranged everything for her overseas and helped her contact a doctor for cancer treatment. However, in order to hide it from Lu Shiyuan, her uncle chose to stay in the country to deal with the aftermath. In the end, he died in Lu Shiyuans hands. If she told her uncle now that she had cancer, he would definitely help her without hesitation. Even so, she did not want that to happen. She did not want to walk the path that had been arranged for her. She wanted to walk her own path. The system and the plot were fixed, but she was flexible. She could not change them, but she wanted to control her own fate. Do you have a skinny physique? He Xiang was still a little worried after saying that. When you have time, go to the hospital for a physical examination. Well talk about thatter. Lin Shanchus tone was a little perfunctory. He Xiang could tell that Lin Shanchu did not want to go to the hospital, but she did not overthink it. Most people did not like to go to the hospital. After that, He Xiang stopped talking. Lin Shanchu finished supper and looked up, only to see He Xiang pursing her lips and fidgeting with her fingers, looking restless. She was fine just now, but why did she suddenly be like this? Lin Shanchu did not say anything. She got up, took the tableware and went into the kitchen. Sister Lin, put it down and let me do it. He Xiang came to her senses and went into the kitchen. When a person was uneasy, she could not do anything well. He Xiang hurriedly took the te from Lin Shanchus hands and identally dropped it on the floor. A loud ss-shattering sound was heard. Both of them were stunned for a moment. Sister Lin, I He Xiang looked at Lin Shanchu with a hesitant expression. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and looked at her seriously. If you havent thought it through yet, lets talk about it tomorrow. Im going to wash up and sleep. He Xiang had been preupied these days. It seemed that other than thements on the Inte, she had other things on her mind. Lin Shanchu turned around and walked away. Sister Lin, I have something for you. He Xiangs voice came from behind. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw He Xiang taking out her phone and ying a recording. Sis, Sister Dai has gone crazy. Save me Whats wrong with her? Ah! Thats He Xiang, not Lin Shanchu! Whats the use of beating He Xiang to death? Can President Lu still help you clean up this mess Shes not moving anymore. She seems to be dead Lin Shanchu could tell that it was a call recording. The recording was a little long. Lin Shanchu could tell the identity of the three voices in the recording. One of them was He Xiang who was in front of her, while the other two were Kong Suyi and Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu noticed that He Xiangs hand was shaking while holding the phone. It had been more than two months since the incident, but she still felt scared when she thought about it. This was also the first time she had yed the recording. Is that how you got the scars on your body? Lin Shanchu asked. He Xiang nodded. My cell phone was set to record calls automatically. They didnt bother to check my phone at that ime. By the time they wanted to check my phone, I had already saved the recording elsewhere. Lin Shanchu walked over and took He Xiangs phone away. Why did you y this recording for me? In case you need it He Xiang stammered. Are you sure you want to give it to me? Lin Shanchu asked seriously. I might make this recording public. He Xiang was different from her. He Xiang was not someone who would throw caution to the wind without a care in the world. That was why she had been keeping such a deadly recording and refused to expose it. You were on the trending search list after you pped Tang Qidai for my sake. You deliberately diverted everyones attention so that I, as one of the parties involved, wouldnt have to suffer a bit of repercussions from this fiasco. He Xiang pursed her lips and said shyly, Im really grateful to you. Lin Shanchu turned her face away and said awkwardly, No need to thank me. I didnt help you on purpose. At that time, she had indeed considered this point. However, now that He Xiang had mentioned it so solemnly, she inexplicably felt a little awkward. He Xiang smiled. Although Im still afraid of bing the center of public opinion, I hope that I can help you. Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment before politely rejecting her. Youd better think about it again. Sister Lin, Ive thought it through! If you be a target, you wont be unscathed. As long as He Xiang stood up, there would be people who would sympathize with her as well as people who would attack her. No one knew better than Lin Shanchu how it felt to be attacked. The next day, the police reported Kong Suyis suicide. The article exined in detail that Kong Suyi hadmitted suicide and foul y was ruled out. Yesterday, some people still doubted the authenticity of Kong Suyis suicide. Now that the police report was released, there was no room for doubt in this incident. Theizens began to mourn for Kong Suyi, saying that she was an innocent victim. Then, they teamed up and went to Lin Shans Weibo page to condemn her. Lin Shanchu, who had gotten used to the condemnation, did not care at all and just thought about breakfast. She had supperst night, but she was starving in the morning. Lin Shanchu walked out of the bedroom and called He Xiangs name. He Xiang, what are we going to have for breakfast Before she could finish speaking, she saw He Xiang sitting on the sofa with a serious expression. Sister Lin, Ive thought it through. Huh? He Xiang walked over and stuffed the phone into Lin Shanchus hand. Instead of letting this recording rot in my hands, I still hope that it can help you. Lin Shanchu looked down at the phone and asked seriously, What are we going to have for breakfast? I havent made breakfast yet. He Xiang was a little embarrassed. She had been thinking about this matter repeatedly sincest night, so she was not in the mood to make breakfast this morning. Lin Shanchu slumped onto the sofa and threw her phone to He Xiang. Order takeout then. He Xiang used Lin Shanchus phone to order takeout, whereas Lin Shanchu used He Xiangs phone to send the recording to her own phone. After the transferring the recording, Lin Shanchu instructed He Xiang with a serious expression, Order more, so that we can go out and do business on a full stomach. Were going out? Where are we going? To the hospital. He Xiang thought that Lin Shanchu was going for a physical examination, so she asked happily, Then we have to tell Brother Qi, right? Dont worry, Ill tell him.. Chapter 221 - 221: He Had Expected Lin Shanchu Would Come to See Him Chapter 221: He Had Expected Lin Shanchu Would Come to See Him He Xiang thought that Lin Shanchu wanted Qi Cheng to drive her to the hospital, just likest time. Sister Lin, actually, I know how to drive too. I have a drivers license and I am a steady driver. Lin Shanchu rarely used the car that thepany had given her. Basically, Qi Cheng would drive over and pick her up every time she went out. Lin Shanchu nodded. Alright then. Ill let you drive today. He Xiang replied happily, Okay. After the two of them finished breakfast, He Xiang was about to call Qi Cheng. Lin Shanchu stopped her. Ill tell him. Alright, then Ill go pack my things. Without overthinking it, He Xiang turned around and entered the room. The car that Nan Mu had given Lin Shanchu had excellent performance and was veryfortable. The car drove into the center of the city and started to get stuck in traffic. Outside the window was the citysndmark building. Lin Shanchu took a photo of the building and posted it on Weibo. The post was textless with only a good morning emoji. The fans immediately recognized the building in the photo. [I just went here yesterday!] [Good morning, Sister Rabbit.] [Youre having a good time here. Because of you, someone was cyberbullied andmitted suicide!] [Sister, why did you post such a photo? Everyone knows this location immediately. Isnt it unsafe?] If the fans could tell what this ce was, the reporters must be on their way. Lin Shanchu turned off Weibo happily. He Xiang turned her head and looked at Lin Shanchu. Sister Lin, you havent told me which hospital youre going to. Lin Shanchu urately reported the name of a private hospital. Xiang was no stranger to the name of this private hospital. Tang Qidai used to go to this hospital for checkups. He Xiang suddenly had a sense of foreboding. Sister Lin, arent we going to the hospital for a physical examination today? Who said I was going for a physical examination? Lin Shanchu asked instead. He Xiang was stunned. At this moment, Lin Shanchus phone rang. It was a call was from Qi Cheng. Brother Qi. Didnt you promise me yesterday that you wouldnt simply leave the house? You should at least tell me if youre going out. You saw my Weibo post. Compared to Qi Chengs anxious tone, Lin Shanchu sounded much more rxed. Qi Cheng was exasperated by her and asked angrily, Where are you going? To see Lu Shiyuan. You! Why are you looking for him at this juncture? He Xiang, who was beside her, turned her head abruptly and looked at her. Sister Lin, youre going to meet Lu Shiyuan. Put me on speaker. Qi Cheng urged Lin Shanchu over the phone. Lin Shanchu obediently turned on the speaker. Qi Cheng shouted over the phone, He Xiang, drive back quickly. Dont let Shanshan meet Lu Shiyuan. A car quickly drove up from the side with a camera on the window. He Xiang looked to the other side and saw the same scene. He Xiang was helpless. Its toote, Brother Qi. Whats wrong? Were surrounded by paparazzi. Lin Shanchu brought the phone to her front. Brother Qi, Ill hang up the phone first and chat with the reporters. Ill send you a recordingter. Remember to listen to it when you receive it. Bye. She finished her words without taking a breath, leaving Qi Cheng no room to express himself. Qi Cheng felt a headacheing on as he looked at the phone that had been hung up. He knew that Lin Shanchu would not be so obedient. Lin Shanchu clicked open Qi Chengs WeChat avatar before she turned to look at He Xiang. He Xiang smiled at her. Have you sent it to Brother Qi? Its done. Lin Shanchu clicked the send button. Then, she turned to look at the reporter in the car next to her who had been frantically taking photos of her. Hi reporter friend, have you had breakfast? Lin Shanchu asked loudly. The reporter looked at her from the side of the camera. His mouth was stuffed as he waved the remaining egg roll in his hand. Im eating. Youre working so hard. Its not hard as long as I can get a shot of you. He Xiang, who was thinking about how to get rid of the reporters, turned around and saw that Lin Shanchu was chatting with the reporter. Sister Lin, its hard for me to get rid of them when you are like this. Take them to the hospital then. He Xiang suddenly understood that Lin Shanchu had deliberately lured the reporters over. The reporter was still shouting at Lin Shanchu, Where are you going? Im going to the hospital to visit a patient, Lin Shanchu replied with a smile. The reporters eyes gleamed. Whom are you going to visit? Of course, its someone close, Lin Shanchu said, propping up her chin. Oh. The reporter suddenly said, This angle of yours is pretty good. Dont move around. Ill take a few photos of you. Okay, thank you. Lin Shanchu began to pose seriously. He Xiang was puzzled. Were the paparazzi so kind nowadays? They even helped to take nice photos? The paparazzis cars followed Lin Shanchu all the way to the hospital. This private hospital was rtively strict when it came to confidentiality. The people who came here for treatment and recuperation were either rich or noble, so the security check was quite strict. Lin Shanchu was currently very popr, so the security guard knew her. Are you here to see President Lu? Yes, I am. Lin Shanchu was immediately allowed to pass through the checkpoint. The camera on the paparazzi was too conspicuous, so the security guard did not let them in. Lin Shanchu arrived at the Inpatient Department and asked the nurses, Excuse me, which ward is Lu Shiyuan in? Ill take you there. The nurses eyes brightened as she sized up Lin Shanchu curiously. Then she walked ahead and led the way. When Lin Shanchu reached the entrance of the ward, she heard Tang Qidais voiceing from inside. Brother Shiyuan, you have to take a bite at least. Brother Shiyuan I told you I dont want to eat. Lu Shiyuan enunciated his words heavily, showing his impatience. It was not Lu Shiyuans style. He had treated Tang Qidai as nice as he could in the past. The nurse managed her expression well, as if she did not hear anything. She reached out to help Lin Shanchu knock on the door. Lin Shanchu gently raised her hand to indicate that there was no need to do that. Ill do it myself. Alright, you can call us if you need anything. The nurse left with a gossipy look on her face. Lin Shanchu did not even knock on the door and just pushed it open. Dont you know how to knock? Your hospital Tang Qidai scolded as she had nowhere to vent her anger. However, she quickly fell silent after seeing the person who came in was Lin Shanchu. When Lu Shiyuan saw Lin Shanchu, a trace of surprise shed across his eyes, but then he showed a look of entitlement. It was as if he had expected Lin Shanchu woulde and see him. How dare youe here? Tang Qidai strode up to Lin Shanchu. Look at what youve done to Brother Shiyuan! Lin Shanchu did not talk back to Tang Qidai arrogantly like before. Instead, she sized Tang Qidai up seriously. What are you looking at? Tang Qidai frowned. Lin Shanchu said softly, The manager youve worked with for many years hasmitted suicide. You dont look sad at all. A trace of panic shed across Tang Qidais eyes, but she quickly calmed down. How do you know Im not sad? At this moment, Lu Shiyuan said, Qidai, go back and rest.. Chapter 222 - 222: I Warned You Not to Mention His Name Chapter 222: I Warned You Not to Mention His Name Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Judging from Lu Shiyuans tone, he was not asking for Tang Qidais permission, but rather ordering her to leave. Although Tang Qidai was unwilling, she dared not disobey Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan treated her worse than before. She was afraid that if she upset Lu Shiyuan again, he would be even more ruthless. She could no longer survive in the entertainment industry. If she lost Lu Shiyuan as her shield, she would have nothing left. Brother Shiyuan, Ille and see you tomorrow. Tang Qidai left reluctantly. Lu Shiyuan then looked at He Xiang, who was standing behind Lin Shanchu. Wait for me outside. Lin Shanchu turned to look at He Xiang. He Xiang had a worried expression on her face as she stood rooted to the spot. Lin Shanchu thought that He Xiang was worried that Lu Shiyuan would hurt her, so heforted her, Dont worry, it will be fine. Eventually, He Xiang lowered her voice and said worriedly, Sister Lin, dont use the dagger again. The nurse will find out. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. After all this time, He Xiang was worried that she would stab Lu Shiyuan again. She thought He Xiang was worried about her safety. She was clearly the weak woman! Lin Shanchu grimaced. Go. After He Xiang left, only Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu were left in the spacious ward. It seemed a little empty. The two of them sat facing each other, but neither of them spoke. Time passed by. After an unknown period of time, Lu Shiyuan could not take it anymore and asked, Tell me, why are you looking for me? This was the first time that Lu Shiyuan did not speak to her in apletely superior tone. There was a hint of vignce in his tone. Lu Shiyuan finally began to fear her. I havent heard from you these days, so I came to see if youre dead. Lu Shiyuan was also a celebrity in the circle. Once his injury was made public, it would naturally cause many spections. Theizen had wild imaginations. Who knew if someone would guess that it was her, his fiance, who stabbed him? He cared so much about his dignity and felt that it was not honorable to be stabbed by a woman. Naturally, he had to keep this matter under wraps. Lu Shiyuan clenched his fists and his face was full of forbearance. Even though he was prepared that Lin Shanchu would say something bad, his heart skipped a beat when he heard her curse him to death. Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth as he said the simple sentence, Then Ill have to disappoint you. I can be discharged in two days. Thats pretty good Lin Shanchu smiled abruptly. When Lu Shiyuan saw her smile, he felt a sense of foreboding. As expected, the next second, he heard Lin Shanchu say, The reporters are waiting to wee you out of the hospital. You brought reporters to the hospital? Lu Shiyuan could not hold back anymore. Lin Shanchu sighed lightly and pretended to be troubled. It cant be helped. Im too popr. Reporters are everywhere to take photos of me. Lu Shiyuan got up and picked up his phone to surf the Inte. When he essed the relevant website, a piece of news titled Lin Shanchu went out without makeup, suspected of going to the hospital to visit her seriously ill fianc in a low-key manner was immediately shown on the entertainment headlines. The apanying picture in the news was a high-definition photo of Lin Shanchu smiling radiantly in the car. Although she did not put on makeup, how was she low-key? The news even mentioned that he was seriously ill! What was even more infuriating was thements from theizens below the news: [Thats right. There hasnt been any news about Lu Shiyuan recently. He must be seriously ill.] [Although I dont know why Sister doesnt leave this disgusting man, it would have been a good deed if he had died sooner.] [Is he really seriously ill?] Dont make us happy for nothing!] [For the first time, I hope that these exaggerated media outlets are reporting true news] Lu Shiyuan almost used up all his self-control to resist the urge to smash his phone. So what if the news of me being hospitalized spreads? Do you think you change your current situation because of this? Nan Mu is no match for me! Lu Shiyuan sneered. His words amounted to an indirect admission that he was responsible for what happened on the Inte. Is that so? Lin Shanchu asked calmly. Her calmness and confidence made Lu Shiyuan feel that she was an eyesore. If that bold man Huo Xunzhou is willing to make a move, perhaps we will end up in a draw. Lu Shiyuan noticed that when he mentioned Huo Xunzhou, Lin Shanchus expression changed slightly. She really cared about that bold man. Lu Shiyuan was angry and jealous as he mocked, But the problem is, is he willing to make a move? At first, he really thought that Huo Xunzhou had hooked up with Lin Shanchu. However, after two months of observation, he realized that Huo Xunzhou did not care much about Lin Shanchu. Hence, he concluded that Huo Xunzhou had protected Lin Shanchu just to show his gratitude. Lin Shanchus face darkened at a visible rate. She was born with snow-white skin and usually had a gentle temperament with a smile. When her face looked cold, there was a sense of alienation that made people keep away from her but it was inexplicably seductive. Lu Shiyuan realized for the first time that he disliked women with a gentle character that much, and it was fine if they had a bad personality. It would make someone to have a desire to conquer them, wouldnt it? Youre not allowed to mention his name, Lin Shanchu said softly. Lu Shiyuan thought that he had touched a sore spot with Lin Shanchu, so he said smugly, Huo Xunzhou is just an outsider. You cant count on him. As long as you say the word, Ill help you calm down the fiasco on the Inte. He thought that his attitude was so good that Lin Shanchu had no reason to refuse him. And the truth was just as he had expected. After hearing his words, Lin Shanchu stood up and walked towards him. The two of them were sitting facing each other, so Lin Shanchu only needed to take two steps to reach him. She looked down at him. Her face looked cold and her eyes were devoid of warmth. Lu Shiyuans intuition told him that something was wrong. You Argh! Lin Shanchu bent down and barehandedly dug into his wound through the thin hospital gown. She was the one who stabbed him, so as a matter of course, she could find the wound urately. The healing wound that had just been sutured was dug open just like that and blood seeped out along the hospital gown. Lu Shiyuan paled in immense pain and his forehead was covered in sweat. He was already weak. When Lin Shanchu dug his wound open, he naturally did not have the strength to resist her. I warned you not to mention his name, Lin Shanchu said as she pressed down hard. Youre not worthy! Lu Shiyuan was in so much pain that his breathing was uneven. Jealousy grew crazily in his eyes. How dare you be so concerned about Huo Xunzhou? This was not the first time Lin Shanchu had argued with him over Huo Xunzhou. In the past, he did not believe that Lin Shanchu would really fall in love with someone else. However, ever since Lin Shanchu stabbed him, he gradually believed that she was no longer the former Lin Shanchu who was always gentle to him. It turned out that he was the dumbest! Chapter 223 - 223: What Teacher Huo Said Is Right. I Will Follow Your Teachings Chapter 223: What Teacher Huo Said Is Right. I Will Follow Your Teachings Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Before Lu Shiyuan fainted from the pain, Lin Shanchu withdrew her hand. She was not worried about being discovered. It was because her hand was sore. She did not even wipe the blood off her hand and walked straight out. Sister Lin He Xiang immediately saw the blood on Lin Shanchus hand. With the previous experience, she quickly calmed down. She then lowered her voice and asked, Did you stab Lu Shiyuan again? I guess so. Although she had used her fingers, she did poke Lu Shiyuans wound again. Lin Shanchus tone soundedzy as she looked down at her fingers with blood dripping down. He Xiang was speechless for a moment. As expected, she was not worried for nothing. She hurriedly took out a finger towel to wipe Lin Shanchus hand. She was afraid and worried as her hands trembled non-stop. Is he dead? He wont die. He Xiang could hear the regret in Lin Shanchus tone and her hands trembled even more. Sometimes, she felt that Lin Shanchu was beautiful and kind-hearted. Sometimes, she felt that Lin Shanchu had a strange personality. However, the strange thing was that she was fearless. A nurse, who was passing by them, noticed the bloodstains on the ground and hurriedly walked over. Miss Lin, are you hurt? The news of Lin Shanchu visiting Lu Shiyuan had already spread throughout the Inpatient Department. When the nurses passed by Lu Shiyuans ward, she wanted to try her luck and find out if she could bump into Lin Shanchu. After all, Lin Shanchu was now very popr and she looked pretty, so everyone was curious about her. He Xiang had never done anything bad, so she pretended to be calm and tried to brush it off. Its nothing. Its just a minor injury. Lin Shanchu interrupted He Xiang calmly, Im not injured. Its just bloodstain. Bloodstain? The nurse could not process what she just said. Lu Shiyuans wound was recovering well and he would be discharged in two days. Where did she get the bloodstain? Lin Shanchu naturally would not stay there to answer the nurses questions. She turned around and left. He Xiang followed her with a guilty conscience. Lu Shiyuans ward door was still open. Lu Shiyuan was sitting on the sofa with arge patch of bloodstain on his body. When the nurse looked inside curiously, her expression changed drastically. President Lu! The nurse quickly ran in and briefly checked Lu Shiyuans injuries. Then, she called the nurses station and the attending doctor. When Lin Shanchu entered the elevator, the nurses station behind her was already busy. He Xiang heaved a sigh of relief after entering the elevator. Lin Shanchu nced at her. I was the one who stabbed him. What are you feeling guilty about? He Xiang replied, This is the first time Ive encountered such a situation. Its the second time, Lin Shanchu corrected her. It was the first time when she stabbed Lu Shiyuan at Lu Corporation. He Xiang was speechless and felt numb, but Lin Shanchu was even in the mood to correct her. Ding! The elevator door suddenly opened. Before Lin Shanchu could see who was outside, she heard He Xiang exim, Best Actor Huo! Lin Shanchu took a closer look. The person outside the elevator was really Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was sitting in a wheelchair with Huo Chaosheng and Li MO standing behind him. Li MO was holding Huo Xunzhous check- up report. Huo Chaosheng pushed Huo Xunzhou in. What a coincidence. After Huo Chaosheng finished speaking, he mouthed two words silently, Third sister-inw. What a lunatic. Lin Shanchu turned her face away, not wanting to look at him. However, Li MO was on the other side. Miss Lin. Li MO was still the same as before. He greeted her with a serious face. What a coincidence, Lin Shanchu replied politely. Were apaning Big Brother for a check-up. As the top fan of the ship between Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu, Li MO did his best to lead the conversation toward Huo Xunzhou. A trace of astonishment shed across Lin Shanchus eyes. Huo Xunzhou came for re-examination when his legs were fine, but did he manage to hide the fact from Huo Chaosheng? Whats the result of the examination? she asked as her face remained expressionless. Before Li MO could say anything, Huo Xunzhous voice rang out in the narrow elevator. Miss Lin, you better care more about yourself. You dont have to worry about my health. His maic and pleasant voice was cold as usual. Even though he formally called her Miss Lin, Lin Shanchu still felt that his voice was pleasant to the ears. He even humbled himself He was really estranged from her. What Teacher Huo said is right. I will follow your teachings. Lin Shanchu nodded slightly, looking as if she had been taught a lesson. Li MO was bewildered. What was going on? Did he miss out on some key plot? Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu were quite busy recently and did not many opportunities to meet each other. Why did they quarrel again? Teacher Huo? Miss Lin? Even he felt awkward for them when he heard them address each other in such a distant manner. Could it be that Nan Mu had used some underhanded trick to try to separate Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu while he was not paying attention? Hmph! What a scheming profiteer! Li MO silently harbored hard feelings for Nan Mu. Huo Xunzhou took a deep breath and held it back. His gazended on the elevator wall in front of him. The elevator walls reflected everyones figures, and the bloodstains on Lin Shanchus fingers were vaguely visible. He had noticed the bloodstains when he came in. Huo Chaosheng looked as if he wanted the world to be in chaos. Were all friends. Dont be so distant. Silly girl, didnt you call him Brother Xunzhoust time? Lin Shanchu moved to the side, crossed her arms and had an expression indicating not to touch her. Huo Chaosheng finally saw the bloodstains on Lin Shanchus hand. What happened to your hand? Huo Chaoshengs tone carried a hint of concern. Lin Shanchu finally replied, Its nothing. Then why is there blood? Its someone elses. Oh. Huo Chaosheng was relieved upon hearing those words. As expected of his chosen friend, she would stab people and be stained with blood at the drop of a hat. Helpless, He Xiang turned around and silently sent a message to Qi Cheng: [Brother Qi, Im sorry. Sister Lin stabbed Lu Shiyuan again] Then why did youe to the hospital? Huo Chaosheng asked. To see Lu Shiyuan, Li MO replied quickly. Huo Chaosheng looked at Li MO and said, Li MO, youre so well-informed. You know that Lu Shiyuan is hospitalized here? Of course, Li MO could not say that Huo Xunzhou had ordered him to pay attention to Lu Shiyuans movements at all times. I saw Tang Qidai when we entered the hospital. Everyone knew about the rtionship between Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan, so it was not a problem for him to make such a statement. Huo Chaosheng asked excitedly, You stabbed him again? Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and looked up at Huo Xunzhou silently. However, she could only see the back of Huo Xunzhous head. Even though she had already made things clear with Huo Xunzhou, there was no longer any possibility. However, she did not really want to leave too many bad impressions like violent maniac and devildy in Huo Xunzhous mind. When Huo Chaosheng saw that Lin Shanchu had acquiesced, he became even more excited. He wanted to continue asking her. You Stop talking. Ill treat you to a mealter. Lin Shanchu chose the most tactful yet irresistible way to shut him up.. Chapter 224 - 224: Have You Forgotten What You Did To Me? 1 Chapter 224: Have You Forgotten What You Did To Me? 1 Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It was the first time that Lin Shanchu took the initiative and invited Huo Chaosheng after giving him the cold shoulder for so long. Overjoyed, he set the time on the spot. How about now? Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth. Alright. Half an hourter, they were in a Chinese restaurant near the private hospital. Huo Chaosheng flipped through the menu and told the waiter the dishes he wanted to order. Stewed beef and a serving of Third Brothers favorite fried shrimp By the way, what do you like to eat? He raised his head and looked at Lin Shanchu. Whatever, Lin Shanchu said expressionlessly. Help Sister Lin order her favorite dishes. Huo ChaoSheng handed the menu to He Xiang. In fact, He Xiang did not know what Lin Shanchu liked to eat. When she was at home, she would cook for Lin Shanchu every day. Lin Shanchu was not a picky eater, nor did she like particr dish. Sister Lin she said tentatively. Lin Shanchu nced at the menu and pointed at a dish. He Xiang handed the menu to Huo Xunzhou. Best Actor Huo, what else do you want to eat? Lin Shanchu even felt that He Xiang treated Huo Xunzhou more eagerly than her. He Xiang was Huo Xunzhous fan after all. A guest should suit the convenience of the host. Huo Xunzhou looked calm and polite. Upon hearing his words, Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. I only invited Huo Chaosheng. Half an hour ago, after Lin Shanchu had promised Huo Chaosheng that she would treat him to meal today, he insisted on getting Huo Xunzhou toe along for lunch. At that time, Lin Shanchu thought that Huo Xunzhou would definitely refuse him. The two of them had made things clear at Nan Mus housest time. Wouldnt it be awkwvard if they ate together again? Unexpectedly, Li MO reminded him, it just so happens that you dont have a luncheon at noon. Huo Xunzhou replied leisurely, Ill go then. Before she could say anything as the host, he had already agreed in a tone that he would not make things difficult for her. Huo Chaosheng even took credit like a fool. Ive created an opportunity for you and Third Brother. Are you touched? Think about how to thank me. Lin Shanchu was so touched that she wanted to blow Huo Chaoshengs head off on the spot. Huo Xunzhou looked up at Lin Shanchu. Chaosheng invited me. His words obviously sounded shameless, but he said it so confidently. Lin Shanchu was speechless. What a shameless man! In Huo Chaoshengs opinion, Huo Xunzhou had agreed toe along just to show respect for him. He thought Huo Xunzhou was angry, so he quickly smiled and said, Were all friends. This meal is on me. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. Huo Chaosheng did not feel embarrassed and asked Lin Shanchu, Why dont you treat us to a movieter? Li MO also realized that Huo Chaosheng was trying to matchmake Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. Although he did not know why Huo Chaosheng did this, as the top fan of this ship, he naturally would not hold him back. Li MO cleared his throat. A few good new movies have been released recently. Lin Shanchu said, Do it next time. I dont have time today Huo Xunzhou said, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I dont have time today The two of them rejected the proposal almost at the same time. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes. But if Chaosheng wants to watch a movie, I can make time for it. It was clearly a provocation! I Huo Chaosheng was delighted. You dont want to watch a movie! Lin Shanchu interrupted him. Huo Chaosheng replied, I Lin Shanchu said, There are a lot of fun things to do in Xu City. Ill bring you aroundter. Just you and me, okay? Something fun? Lu Shiyuan and Jiang Ziyus faces shed in Huo Chaoshengs mind. Was Lin Shanchu finally going to y with him? Sure. He could not wait any longer. Who was Lin Shanchu going to stab next? When Lin Shanchu saw Huo Chaoshengs unusually excited expression, she could guess that his idea of fun was different from what she had said. If she could see this, Huo Xunzhou could see it too. Eat your meal. Huo Xunzhous eyes darkened. Huo Chaosheng had always listened to him, so he obediently replied, Oh. When the lunch was almost over, Lin Shanchu went to pay the bill and stopped by the restroom. When she came out of the restroom, she saw Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhous wheelchair was in the middle of the path. The passage was narrow, and Lin Shanchu could barely pass through it by moving sideways. However, Huo Xunzhou was the clearly the one who had upied the passage unreasonably, so why should she force herself? Please make way. Lin Shanchu walked up to him. After two seconds of silence, Huo Xunzhou asked, What if I refuse to do so? Lin Shanchu had been suppressing her frustration ever since they got in the elevator. Now that there was no one around except the two of them, she did not bother to hold it in anymore. Are you done? She could tell that Huo Xunzhou was deliberately going against her. She had never seen such a childish man. Her tone was very unpleasant, but Huo Xunzhou smiled and the words he said were even more infuriating. Im not done. Ive already made myself very clear. Is there any meaning in doing this? She did not think that Huo Xunzhou was the kind of person who would pester her, so she could not understand why Huo Xunzhou was like this. Huo Xunzhou chuckled softly. His voice was deep and charming. Clear? When did we ever clear things up? You Have you forgotten what you did to me? Oh, Ill use the more popr Inte ng nowadays. Are you trying to be a freeloader? Huo Xunzhou emphasized the word freeloader with a serious expression on his cold, noble and good-looking face. He seemed to be resentful for some reason. l apologize to you. ItS my tault. I snouldnt nave provoked you. I snouldnt have Lin Shanchu swallowed the words kissed you. Shouldnt what? Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at her. You dared to do it, but you dare not say it? Anyway, it was all my fault in the past. I apologize to you. Im sorry! Lin Shanchu bowed to him solemnly. Oh. Huo Xunzhou said lightly, I dont ept it. Lin Shanchu was speechless. After calming herself down, Lin Shanchu smiled and used her killing move. I believe that youre not the kind of man who would pester me, Mr. Huo. All men cared about their pride. She did not believe that Huo Xunzhou could do anything to her after what she had said. Huo Xunzhou said softly, Who says Im not? Lin Shanchu was puzzled. What kind of monster was Huo Xunzhou? It turned out that he could be so confident and shameless! Yet, she did not find it annoying! Lin Shanchu was a little confused. She quickly turned sideways and passed through the gap between the wheelchair and the wall to flee the scene. Huo Xunzhous smiling voice came from behind. I dont have a electric wheelchair with me today. Its very difficult to push it myself. Sister Shanshan, are you really not going to help me? Lin Shanchu walked even faster upon hearing those words. The man behind her named Huo Xunzhou was not worthy of pity at all. Buzz! The phone in her pocket vibrated. Lin Shanchu took it out and saw a WeChat message from Huo Xunzhou: [Sister Shanshan is so cruel..] Chapter 225 - 225: Self-destruction Chapter 225: Self-destruction Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu stopped and typed hard on the phone screen with bond hands. In the end, the edited message was not sent out. She deleted all of it and sent Huo Xunzhou a few emojis. [I have a temper to lose.jpg] [A m dunk on your head.jpg] [Im gradually starting to have the intention to kill.jpg] [Kill you.jpg] On the other side, Huo Xunzhou smiled as he looked at the emojis that were constantly being sent over. Lin Shanchu was not cruel at all. She actually sent him so many messages. Huo Xunzhou also wanted to send her an emoji. However, when he clicked on the heart-shaped logo, he realized that his collection column was empty. He could only open the dialog box with Nan Mu. Among the many emojis sent by Nan Mu, he found an emoji of a cute kitten being stroked on the head. A kitten. Yes, they looked very simr. Hence, Huo Xunzhou sent the emoji to Lin Shanchu. When Lin Shanchu received the emoji, she was already in the lobby. After looking at the picture of the kitten being stroked on the head on the phone screen, Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou with aplicated expression. His face was still as cold as ever. Lin Shanchu really could not associate him with the emoji he had sent. After taking a deep look at him, she hastened her pace and returned to the private room with a puzzled expression. When Li MO saw Lin Shanchue in alone, he asked, Wheres my big brother? Given the rtionship between Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu, if they met on the road, she would have to help him push the wheelchair. How would I know? Lin Shanchu replied coldly. Li MO was speechless. Lin Shanchu had never spoken to him in such a tone before. She must have had a huge conflict with Huo Xunzhou to vent her anger on him. However, Huo Chaosheng suddenly burst outughing. Lin Shanchu red at him without showing him any respect. Huo Chaosheng quickly lowered his head and pretended that nothing had happened. He whispered to Li MO, who was sitting next to him, Lin Shanchus love has turned into hatred. Li MO replied, Huh? Huo Chaosheng said, When we had dinner at Nan Mus housest time, she secretly kissed Third Brother and angered him. After we went back, I persuaded him for a long time before he stopped dwelling on it Li MO replied. Oh? Huo Chaosheng didnt really think that he deserved such a great honor in front of Huo Xunzhou, did he? A certain scene that he encountered at Huo Xunzhous house shed across Li Mos mind. At that time the two of them looked like they had done the deed. Huo Xunzhou seemed to a proactive person. If Lin Shanchu really kissed him secretly, wouldnt he be overjoyed? He sighed andmented that he missed a lot of scenes because he did not make it to the dinner at Nan Mus house on that day. When Huo Xunzhou returned to the private room, Lin Shanchu left with He Xiang. It was as if she did not want to stay there for another second. Looking at the closed door of the private room, Huo Chaosheng said softly, Third Brother, are you really not going to consider Lin Shanchu? Her cooking is so delicious. Arent you moved at all? Huo Xunzhou said coldly, If you like someone who can cook, I can get you all the famous chefs in the world. Its a pity that she doesnt like me. If she did, I would have been together with her, Huo Chaosheng said regretfully. Huo Xunzhous expression remained unchanged. He only narrowed his eyes slightly. Stay away from her. Why? Huo Chaosheng tilted his head and looked at him in confusion. You know what she did to Lu Shiyuan. Huo Xunzhou cast a deep gaze at Huo Chaosheng. I hope you will have less interaction with her. Huo Chaosheng was taken aback for a moment. Third Brother, I know you care about me, but dont worry. I know what Im doing. I wont let myself get hurt. Huo Xunzhous voice sank. If you dont listen to me, Ill have to inform Father to get someone to pick you up. Huo Chaoshengs expression changed slightly. Ill listen to you. Ill try my best not to interact with Lin Shanchu. Only then did Huo Xunzhous tone soften. Its gettingte. Lets go home. Li MO listened to their conversation expressionlessly on the side. Although Huo Xunzhous imbecile little brother had done all kinds of stupid things, he was like a obedient sheep in front of his elder brother. He was almost brainwashed by his elder brother. On the way back, Lin Shanchu felt a little sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard He Xiang calling her, Sister Lin, sit tight. Okay, Lin Shanchu answered in a daze. In the next moment, the car suddenly changednes and made a turn. Lin Shanchu was swayed around by the inertia, so she held tight to the armrest. Whats wrong? Someone is following us. He Xiang looked into the rearview mirror from time to time. She thought the person following her was not an expert as He Xiang managed to discover them. Lin Shanchu turned around and looked back. It was a white car. She could not see the person clearly from a distance, but she could see the license te number clearly. Sensing that Lin Shanchu was looking back, the person in the white car even hid themselves. Lin Shanchu turned around and said to He Xiang, Dont get rid of the car. Drive to a sparsely popted ce. Isnt it too risky? He Xiang understood that Lin Shanchu wanted to confront the person who was following them. Dont worry. Lin Shanchu had already turned on her phone excitedly. The top post on Weibo was a video of a girl talking about the workce violence she suffered when she was a personal assistant. Manyizens talked about their experiences. In this world, there would always be ces where the sunshine could not reach. Therefore, there would always be evil in this world. It was inevitable. The clear-headed ones chose to ask for help. The brave ones chose to save themselves. What about those who were neither clear-headed nor brave? The answer was that they would die in a dark corner where no one would find them. However, it was clearly not their fault. There were always so many injustices in this world. Sister Lin, Brother Qi called me. Hearing He Xiangs voice, Lin Shanchu raised her head. He Xiangs phone had stopped vibrating. The next moment, Lin Shanchus phone rang. She picked up the phone and said, Brother Qi. Our side is ready. Now we need He Xiangs cooperation. Qi Chengs tone sounded a little solemn. Lin Shanchu put him on speaker. You may talk to He Xiang. What is it? He Xiang asked upon hearing her words. Qi Cheng asked her, Are you willing to use your own ount to post that recording? At this moment, the car had already driven into a sparsely popted area. He Xiang parked the car by the roadside. She quietly looked ahead for a while before she said, Alright. He Xiang picked up her phone and turned on Weibo. Qi Cheng reminded her on the other end of the phone, Put the topic hastag #workceviolence. He Xiang turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Thepany bought it. Lin Shanchu saw through her confusion. The topic of #workceviolence was Nan Mus way ofying the foreshadowing for He Xiangs self-destruction. Riding on the wind of this topic, Tang Qidai and He Xiang were brought to the center of the scandal. There was also Tang Qidais manager, Kong Suyi, who hadmitted suicide due to the so-called cyberbullying. Lin Shanchu would be able to sessfully extricate herself from this mess if she could prove that Tang Qidai had abused her manager and assistant at the workce.. Chapter 226 - 226: Go to Jail, Daidai Chapter 226: Go to Jail, Daidai Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Thepany chose to let He Xiang release this recording because He Xiang had been in a weak position from the beginning to the end in this fiasco. Most of the people in the world were ordinary people with little power. Netizens would subconsciously put themselves in He Xiangs shoes. While they were more sympathetic to He Xiang, they would also hate Tang Qidai more. Kong Suyi was already dead. It did not matter if she was killed by Tang Qidai or if she reallymitted suicide. In the end, Tang Qidai would bear the infamy of causing her managers death due to workce workce. In that way, Tang Qidai would be the public enemy in the entertainment industry. Even so, Lin Shanchu was somewhat unsatisfied with this result. However, there was no better n for the time being. On the other end of the phone, Qi Cheng fell silent for a moment before he said to Lin Shanchu, Pass the phone to He Xiang. Lin Shanchu passed her phone to He Xiang. He Xiang turned off the speaker mode. Then, she put the phone to her ear and type on her phone with her other hand. Lin Shanchu did not know what Qi Cheng had said to her on the other end of the phone, so she could only hear He Xiangs response from time to time. Yes I know Okay After some time, Lin Shanchu heard He Xiang say, Its done. She turned to look at He Xiang. He Xiang smiled as she returned the phone to Lin Shanchu. Brother Qi told us to go home early. Alright. Lin Shanchu carefully sized He Xiang up, but her reply was a little perfunctory. Seeing that He Xiangs expression was normal, Lin Shanchu did not say anything more. The person who followed us He Xiang started the car while looking around for the person who followed them just now. Before she could finish her words, she felt the car body was hit. Bang! He Xiang immediately turned on the safety lock. Sister Lin, are you alright? Im fine. She was just in a bad mood. The new car that Nan Mu had given her had only been driven a few times before it was hit. Lin Shanchu unbuckled her seatbelt with an upset look on her face. Her menacing appearance rendered He Xiang speechless, causing her to turn off the safety lock consciously under an invisible pressure. Lin Shanchu opened the car door and got out of the car before she walked towards the back of the car. The white car that had followed them all the way was sticking closely the back of their car. Lin Shanchu walked forward and kicked the car door hard. Tang Qidai! Get out! He Xiang was stunned for two seconds upon hearing those words. She hurriedly took out her phone and called the police. It was a malicious car crash. She wanted Tang Qidai to be arrested and taken to the police station! When Lin Shanchu heard He Xiang calling the police, she turned around and looked at her. He Xiang told the traffic police their address. After hanging up the phone, she said to Lin Shanchu, Ive called the police. Tang Qidai is going be arrested and taken to the police station. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and looked at her before she smiled innocently. Be ambitious. Well send her to jail. Bang! Tang Qidai mmed the door and got out of the car. Lin Shanchu, I think youve lost your mind! Send me to jail? Even if Im willing to go to jail, do you think Brother Shiyuan will allow it to happen? Youre the one who should be in jail. Do you think you can get away with the attempted murder just like that? Youve hurt Brother Shi Yuan! I wont let you off the hook! Tang Qidai spoke confidently, as if Lin Shanchu already had one foot in the prison. Lin Shanchu calmly walked forward. Tang Qidai subconsciously retreated as her pupils constricted. Lin Shanchu approached Tang Qidai step by step until her back hit the car with no way to retreat. Lin Shanchu turned her head and whispered into Tang Qidais ear, Do you have evidence? Tang Qidai grimaced. Im the witness! Lin Shanchu suddenly realized and said, Oh, I see. Tang Qidai raised her chin smugly. Lin Shanchu then casually added, But your Brother Shiyuan wont cooperate with the investigation. What should we do? Tang Qidai thought that Lin Shanchu would feel guilty for almost killing Lu Shiyuan, so she wanted to scare Lin Shanchu to boost her morale. To her surprise, Lin Shanchu was not threatened and was even fearless. Tang Qidai pushed Lin Shanchu away angrily. Lin Shanchu fell to the ground. Seeing this, He Xiang immediately stepped forward and spread her arms in front of Lin Shanchu. What are you doing? Youve only been with Lin Shanchu for a few days and youre already so loyal? Tang Qidai said as she reached out to tug at He Xiangs hair. In her eyes, He Xiang was no different from a dog that could be beaten and scolded at will. Lin Shanchu quickly pulled He Xiang away and grabbed Tang Qidais hand. She had not practiced for nothing in the training camp for the past two months. She was much more agile than Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai struggled for a moment, but she realized that she could not break free from Lin Shanchus grip. Let go of me! she screamed in frustration. The sound of police sirens could be heard from afar. Lin Shanchu smiled and her voice was as gentle as when they first met. Go to jail, Dai Dai. Suddenly, Tang Qidai could hear a hint of familiarity in the word Daidai. A very long time ago before she revealed her ambitions to Lin Shanchu, Lin Shanchu called her Daidai just like all the people close to her. Every time Lin Shanchu sincerely called her Daidai and shared her feelings with her, she would mock Lin Shanchu from the bottom of her heart. At that time, she thought to herself that it was only a matter of time before Lin Shanchu was killed by her. Lin Shanchu would only have herself to me for being magnanimous and stupid. However, how was Lin Shanchu in front of her still the same as before? Several police cars stopped beside them. There were traffic police cars and police cars from the Public Security Bureau. Tang Qidai, someone has reported that you are involved in a case of intentional assault. Pleasee with us. Tang Qidai, someone reported that you hit a car with malicious intent The traffic police and detectives arrived at the same time, and both sides started arguing. It was unknown which side had won the argument afterwards, but they handcuffed her wrists. She suddenly remembered what Lin Shanchu had said in front of the reporters, For a very long time, I treated Tang Qidai as a very precious person in my life. Lin Shanchu had always been an outstanding student and was very talented in acting. She had fought with Lin Shanchu for so many years, so her understanding of Lin Shanchu was no less than Lu Shiyuans. She Imew that Lin Shanchu had faked her sad expression and tears during the interview, but her words were true. Tang Qidai found it ridiculous. She had spent the rest of her life chasing after Lu Shiyuan. But in the end, the person who had treated her sincerely was Lin Shanchu, whom she hated like a thorn in her heart. Lu Shiyuans kindness to her was only superficial. Once she got in the way of his own interests, he would abandon her without hesitation. She had never found a way into Lu Shiyuans heart. She wanted Lin Shanchu dead because she knew about this fact. She had tried every trick in the book, but she still could not win against Lin Shanchu. She could not ept this result. Tang Qidais hands were cuffed. Just as she was about to get into the police car, she suddenly turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Just like how she had done it countless times before, she raised her chin high and gave Lin Shanchu a contemptuous smile. Lin Shanchu, its not over between us.. Chapter 227 - 227: Benefit from Others’ Misfortune Chapter 227: Benefit from Others Misfortune Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The police officers left with Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu kept staring in the direction of the police car until it disappeared. In the police car, Tang Qidai kept looking back. The police car sped forward, leaving nothing behind. She saw nothing. She had long known that people were different. Some people had no way out. It was because there was nothing behind her. The police officers took Tang Qidai away while the traffic police remained at the scene. Who reported the case? The detectives had taken away the culprit, so it was fine as long as the person who called the Dolice was still there. Seeing Lin Shanchu staring in the direction where Tang Qidai had been taken away, He Xiang nced at her worriedly before she said, Its me. Lin Shanchu was lost in thought and did not notice He Xiangs negotiation with the traffic police. She had only lived a total of twenty-two years so far. During those sixteen years, Tang Qidai had upied half of it, whereas Lu Shiyuan had upied the other half. She and Tang Qidai were ipatible, yet they were inseparable like a half-rotten apple. After cutting out the rotten flesh, the apple was no longerplete. Lin Shanchu felt empty inside. Officer, that white car crashed into us on purpose. I saw it and recorded it. A loud and clear male voice pulled Lin Shanchu back to reality. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man carrying a camera running over. The man was wearing a simple white T-shirt and cks with good sunblock. He was wearing a hat and a mask, so his face could not be seen clearly. Sister Lin, we meet again! When he passed by Lin Shanchu, he raised his camera and took a photo with Lin Shanchu. Oh, it was an entertainment reporter. The voice sounded familiar. The reporter pulled down his mask, revealing his well-defined facial features. When you went to the hospital this morning, you asked me if I had eaten Do you still remember? Its you. Lin Shanchu remembered him when she saw his face. The photo you took of me looks pretty good. Im a professional photographer. The reporter chuckled, feeling rather pleased with himself. When he smiled, he was full of youthfulness and did not look like an entertainment reporter. On the other side, the traffic policeman ced his hands on his hips and shouted, Hey You said you saw the car crash. Come over! Iming, The reporter raised his voice and shouted. Then, he turned to Lin Shanchu and said, Ill go and make a statement first. Ill talk to you after Im done. This sense of familiarity made him seem like an entertainment reporter. He Xiang could not help but ask Lin Shanchu, Sister Lin, are you familiar with this reporter? No. She did not even know the reporters name. He Xiang was speechless. The reporter quickly finished his statement. They could not drive the car after the ident, so Lin Shanchu and He Xiang could only take a cab to go back. However, there were few people on this road, and it was the hot afternoon. They could not even see a living fly, let alone a cab. The friendly reporter invited them warmly, My car is parked over there. Lets go together. Theres no need He Xiang vigntly rejected him. The reporter seemed to have suddenly remembered something. Then, he rummaged through his pockets and finally took out a crumpled business card before handing it to Lin Shanchu. This is my name card. He Xiang epted it and took a look. Only the name and number were printed in the middle of the white card. It was just that it was quite ink-saving. She handed the business card to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu took it and nced at it before abruptly looking up at the reporter. Wen Huan? Yes, thats my name. Wen Huan reached out to shake Lin Shanchus hand, but just as he stretched his hand out, he retracted it. Its better not to shake hands. Its quite hot in the summer, and my hands are all sweaty. Lets get into the car. Wen Huan walked forward and opened the car door, urging them, Hurry up, Im afraid of the heat. Sister Lin Get in the car. Lin Shanchu ced Wen Huans name card into her bag. Before getting into the car, she said to Wen Huan, Thank you. Wen Huan had a righteous look on his face. Dont be so polite. Just let me follow you a few more times in the future. When He Xiang, who was about to get into the car, heard those words, she immediately looked at Wen Huan warily. Wen Huan looked at He Xiang with aplicated expression. You should be more careful these days. Huh? He Xiang was dumbfounded. Wen Huan showed an expression, implying why are you so stupid. He said, Not every reporter is as kind as me. All my colleagues want to get their hands on the hot scoop and are looking for you in the entire city. He Xiang had just posted a recording on Weibo. She was the victim at the center of the incident. She was Tang Qidais former assistant. She was currently Lin Shanchus assistant. These three identities added together were enough to drive the reporters crazy. In order to benefit from others misfortune, they would do everything they could to tear open the victims wound. When He Xiang heard those words, she was so frightened that she immediately retreated back into the car. Wen Huan closed the door and went to the front to sit in the passenger seat. As Wen Huan fastened his seatbelt, he said to the chauffeur, Sir, get out of the car when we reach the crowded ce ahead. Ill drive myselfter. The chauffeur asked, Didnt you agree that Id help you drive for a day? Dont worry, Ill pay you. Thats good. The chauffeur looked at Lin Shanchu through the rearview mirror before starting the car. Once they reached a crowded ce, the chauffeur got out of the car and left. Sister Lin, where are you going? Wen Huan sat in the drivers seat. Lin Shanchu immediately turned on the GPS and entered the address of the neighborhood. Then, she passed the phone to Wen Huan. Sister Lin He Xiang wanted to stop her. Lin Shanchu smiled slightly, indicating that it would be fine. Wen Huan looked at Lin Shanchu in surprise, Youre a celebrity after all. Why dont you care about your privacy? Wouldnt it be easier for you to follow me if you know my address? Lin Shanchu smiled. Wen Huan was speechless. It was rumored on the Inte that Lin Shanchu was ill, and it seemed to be true. He Xiang was speechless. She should not have agreed to get into the car in the first ce. How was she going to exin it to Brother Qi? Thank you, Lin Shanchu suddenly said. Before getting into the car, Wen Huan reminded He Xiang out of good intentions. Wen Huan was really as kind and passionate as in the original book. Wen Huan scratched his head and his tone sounded somewhat awkward. I told you not to be so polite. Alright, Lin Shanchu replied straightforwardly. Wen Huans lips twitched. No, Sister Lin. Youre a popr celebrity now. Cant you put on airs? Its very difficult to survive in the entertainment industry without some pizzazz. Ah! Lin Shanchu asked, Do I still have to put on airs in front of my friends? Not to mention Wen Huan, even He Xiang was shocked. Was this still Lin Shanchu whom she knew? Lin Shanchu, who did not even care about Huo Chaosheng, actually treated the reporter as a friend so easily after knowing his name! Wen Huan was so scared that he stuttered, Y-you, you dont need to do this. Im very moral. Ive photographed you so many times, but Ive never fabricated any articles.. Chapter 228 - 228: She Was Running Away From Her Life, Whereas He Was Running Away From Marriage Chapter 228: She Was Running Away From Her Life, Whereas He Was Running Away From Marriage Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu was instantly amused by his reaction. I believe in you. Speechless, Wen Huan felt that he had suffered a psychological blow. The beautiful celebrity whom he had been photographed for so long turned out to be friendlier than him. It should not happen. When Lin Shanchu saw that Wen Huan was really frightened, she stopped teasing him and allowed to him drive in peace. After Wen Huan drove Lin Shanchu to the entrance of the neighborhood, he drove away as if he was escaping. Lin Shanchu bent over andughed. He Xiang was a little surprised. It was her first time seeing Lin Shanchu smile so happily. As Lin Shanchuughed, she pulled a long face and muttered, This is bad. He Xiang asked, Whats wrong? Lin Shanchu replied, I forgot to ask Wen Huan for his contact information. He Xiang was puzzled. Lin Shanchu muttered to herself, I think I remember his number. Ill go back and think about it He Xiang followed Lin Shanchu toward the neighborhood with a nk expression. Forget it, it would be fine as long as Lin Shanchu was happy. Back at home, Lin Shanchu sat on the sofa, trying to recall Wen Huans phone number. Wen Huan was a character that only appearedter in the original book. Wen Huan looked like a glib and frivolous person, but in fact, he was rebellious, kind and passionate. In the second half of the original book, Lin Shanchu had nned an escape n for herself. On her way to escape, she met Wen Huan who was also on the run. However, she was running away from her life whereas he was running away from marriage. Wen Huan said that he would rather live under the bridge and be a vagrant who picked up trash every day than go back to that house. At that time, Lin Shanchu was amused and said, Me too. The two of them met by chance. They did not ask where each other came from and lived together in arge courtyard mixed with good and bad people. They went out every day to pick up waste for a living. However, Lu Shiyuan came over soon. Lin Shanchu saw Wen Huan again at his wedding. At that time, Lin Shanchu found out that Wen Huan wanted to use his familys power to help her get rid of Lu Shiyuan, so he willingly went back to get married. However, the kind-hearted Wen Huan did not know that most businessmen did not keep their promises. Lu Shiyuan had even reached an agreement with the Wen family. Wen Huan, who was free and warm, was shackled just like that. It seemed that those who helped her in the original book would be unfortunate. But this time, she was no longer the Lin Shanchu who was at the mercy of others. After everything was settled, she may be able to wander around with Wen Huan. However, her days would be numbered by that time. Wen Huan would probably be sorrowful. However, Wen Huan was so carefree and spontaneous. He should be able to ove sorrow very soon and continue to live a free life. She was already looking forward to it just by thinking about it. Sister Lin, the video posted by Wen Huan is trending. He Xiang ran over in a panic with her phone. When Lin Shanchu looked at the screen, the first thing she noticed was the Weibo ID. Entertainer Huan, is this Wen Huans Weibo ount? It should be Wen Huans Weibo ount. After all, he was the only one present at that time. He must be the only one who has the video. Youre right. Lin Shanchu took out her phone. The hashtag #TangQidaiUnderInvestigation was at the top of the trending search list, followed closely by the trending topic #HeXiangRecording. Lin Shanchu clicked on the first trending topic. The video posted by Entertainer Huan was pinned on Weibo. She did not click open the video. Instead, she clicked on the main page of Entertainer Huan and followed him. He Xiang was speechless upon witnessing the scene. Lin Shanchu directly sent him a private message: [Whats your phone number?] Entertainer Huan: [Are all the impostor ounts nowadays so arrogant?] Lin Shanchu: [I am the real one.] Entertainer Huan: [Youve been imitating her for so long that you believe you are her, right? Why dont you be an actress if you have such a strong sense of conviction?] Lin Shanchu: [I am indeed an actress.] After sending this message, the other party did not reply for a long time. Lin Shanchu thought that Wen Huan must be very busy since he had just revealed such a great piece of news. She clicked open Wen Huans Weibo page and took a look. Wow, he had more than ten million followers. Wow, the average number of likes for each Weibo post was more than 10,000. Wen Huan was really amazing. Not only did he excel at picking up trash, but he was also very good at being an entertainment reporter. Brother Qi, Sister Lin followed Entertainer Huans Weibo page. Yes, she followed him directly with her main ount. He Xiang sat beside Lin Shanchu and called Qi Cheng. Lin Shanchu reached out her hand to He Xiang, gesturing for her to give her the phone. She wanted to talk to Qi Cheng. Thisdy makes me worried every day. Shes simply After Qi Cheng was doneining, Lin Shanchu said softly, Wen Huan is my friend. Qi Cheng was quiet on the other end of the phone as if he had hung up the phone. The person whom heined behind her back had heard what he said, so how could he not feel awkward? Qi Cheng said sincerely, Youre too popr now. Even the slightestmotion will attract attention. Do you know that? Lin Shanchu snorted in dissatisfaction. Its not like making friends is something illegal. Qi Cheng was rendered speechless. After a few seconds, he came to his senses. Shanshan, are you in a good mood today? Of course. Naturally, she was in a good mood after meeting Wen Huan. Alright, Ill help you deal with the aftermath of this matter. Qi Cheng said earnestly, If you have nothing to do, go sleep or watch movies or television dramas. Anyway, dont y on your phone. Alright, Lin Shanchu replied absent-mindedly. She clicked on the private message interface and found that Wen Huan had replied to her. Entertainer Huan: [Youre actually Lin Shanchu herself! !! ] Lin Shanchu: [Yeah!] Entertainer Huan: [What do you want my number for? Although I love to take pictures of beautiful women, I dont like beautiful and sick people like you!] Entertainment Huan: [Also, dont think of bing my sugar mama! I just look poor! But my family is very rich!] Lin Shanchu muttered, Beautiful and sick Hahahahahaha. She couldnt helpughing at the end. Wen Huan was still the same. No matter how they met, he would always amuse her. Wen Huan was so afraid that she would be his sugar mama. He even brought up such a detestable family background. Lin Shanchu replied seriously: [I really, really just want to be friends with you.] This time, Lin Shanchu waited for a full ten minutes before Wen Huan replied. Entertainer Huan: [Alright then, Ill believe you this time. Whats your number?] Lin Shanchu: [Didnt you say youd trust me?] Entertainer Huan: [A gentleman like me would never let a beauty take the initiative to add me on WeChat!] Wen Huan, who looked very uncouth, was indeed a gentleman. Lin Shanchu sent her number over and soon received a WeChat friend request from Wen Huan. Lin Shanchu sent him a message after approving his friend request. [Get busy. Lets talk again when you have time.] Then, she clicked open Wen Huans Moments. His WeChat Moments were all filled with his photos. There was food, puppies by the roadside, the sky and trees. Of course, most of them were female celebrities. Among the photos of the female celebrities, most of them were about her.. Chapter 229 - 229: Can You Hang Out with Me After I’m Cured? Chapter 229: Can You Hang Out with Me After Im Cured? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Huans Moments was only open sincest year. Lin Shanchu scrolled to the bottom and was slightly taken aback when she saw the post. [She is a gifted beauty and was the top schr in liberal arts back then and graduated from the top-notch drama academy in the country. There is only one reason why someone holding such good cards has ended up in this statesomeone probably buried her talents.] There was no picture attached, but Lin Shanchu knew that this post in Wen Huans Moments was talking about her. Around this time a year ago, she had gone to great lengths to secure a role in a film she really liked, but Tang Qidai ruined it. Her dark past of snubbing people and breaking promises began to spread because of this incident. At that time, theizens ndered Lin Shanchu andpared her with Tang Qidai. At that time, Tang Qidai was already a rising star who was dedicated and kind. In contrast, theizens hated Lin Shanchu as much as they liked Tang Qidai. Wen Huan was always different from others. He never went with the flow. He always had his own ideas. Lin Shanchu refreshed the page. When she wanted to click open the post, she realized that it was gone. Was it hidden by Wen Huan? Lin Shanchu could not hold back herughter and continued to scroll up silently. Since the first half of this year, he had been posting her photos from time to time. There were even live photos of My Stage. How did he sneak in? Lin Shanchu scrolled to thetest post and realized that it was just posted a minute ago. Wen Huan: [I did a big job today. I can pick up my new car tomorrow.] Lin Shanchu did not hesitate to like andment: [Can you hang out with me after picking up your new car?] Wen Huan replied instantly: [My mom doesnt let me hang out with sick people and beautiful women.] Lin Shanchu: [Then can you hang out with me after Im cured?] Wen Huan: [] After Lin Shanchu had enough fun, she returned to the contact list interface. She realized that Wen Huan had sent her a message. Wen Huan: [You will regret it.] Lin Shanchu typed slowly: [?] Wen Huan: [You will know soon.] Lin Shanchu did not understand his messages. What would she regret? She justmented on his WeChat Moments. What was there to regret? Lin Shanchu exited the chat interface and saw the red number 3 disyed at the bottom of the Discovery logo. Did Wen Huan reply to her again on the Moments? Lin Shanchu felt a bolt out of the blue when she clicked on it. Wen Huan was not the one who replied to her. Instead, her mutual friends had leftments under this post. Nan Mu directly replied to Lin Shanchu: [?] Huo Xunzhou: [Pick up what car?] Wen Huan replied to Huo Xunzhou: [Ahhh, its Teacher Huo! I want to pick up an off-road vehicle and go on a self-drive trip when the weather is a little cooler. Teacher Huo, do you have any rmendation? [Shy]] He even added a shy yellow face emoji at the end. Lin Shanchu was speechless. The person involved was very regretful now. Why would Wen Huan have Nan Mu and Huo Xunzhous WeChat contact?! If it werent for her sudden awakening. she would not have known that the friend who used to pick up trash with her would be so powerful! Moreover, why did this fool, Wen Huan, bootlick Huo Xunzhou? He really embarrassed her! Now, she could only pretend that she had not noticed Nan Mu and Huo Xunzhousments. She clicked on Wen Huans chatbox again. [Why do you have their WeChat contacts?] After editing the message, Lin Shanchu silently deleted it. It was too embarrassing. She felt ashamed to send out this message. At this moment, Wen Huan, who was waiting in front of the chat interface, immediately noticed that The other party is typing was disyed on top of the chatbox. Even though Lin Shanchu had not sent a message, he knew that she must have seen Nan Mu and Huo Xunzhousments. Wen Huan took the initiative and sent a message. He even sent several messages at once. [Are you regretting it now? Hahahahahahaha.] [Its okay. A lifetime will pass very quickly.] [If you live long enough or when technology is developed enough, you can live on another. When you think about it, do you have high expectations for life?] [[ROFL.jpg]] Lin Shanchu was speechless. F*ck! She did not want to y with Wen Huan anymore. Wen Huan was not cute at all. Lin Shan directly exited the chat interface with Wen Huan, and then saw Nan Mu sending her a message. Nan Mu: [You know Wen Huan?] Lin Shanchu: [We are friends.] Nan Mu: [Oh.] It was a simple oh wuth a full stop. Lin Shanchu had good reason to suspect that Nan Mu replied so solemnly to conceal his mockery. Lin Shanchu sighed and replied: [You also know Wen Huan?] Nan Mu sent a few messages in one go, dispelling Lin Shanchus confusion of wanting to know the answer but not asking the question. [Yes, Ive dealt with him before when I was a manager. Hes a fan of Xunzhou and often does publicity for him. Hes also taken many photos of Xunzhou.] [Hes very good at taking photos, and the articles he wrote are also very interesting.] [Of course, Whats interesting the most is his character. Otherwise, Xunzhou would not have agreed to add him on WeChat.] Lin Shanchu couldnt help but ask: [Did he take the initiative to add Huo Xunzhou on WeChat?] Nan Mu: [Yeah.] Lin Shanchu was dumbstruck. When Nan Mu saw that Lin Shanchu had not replied to his WeChat message for a long time, he suddenly thought of the conversation between Wen Huan and Lin Shanchu in thements section of his Moments. Nan Mu tentatively asked: [Did Wen Huan not take the initiative and add you on WeChat?] If it wasnt for the fact that Nan Mu was her boss, she might have blocked him directly. Lin Shanchu expressionlessly typed a message to change the topic: [Boss, when will I resume work? [Work doesnt make me happy, but it makes me rich.jpg]] Nan Mu almost burst intoughter when he saw this message. He replied to Lin Shanchu: [Anytime.] Then, he sent a screenshot of his conversation with Lin Shanchu to Huo Xunzhou. Nan Mu: [Xunzhou, I think Shanshan can take the path of aedy star. Hahahahahaha. ] Huo Xunzhou: [Why did she take the initiative and add him on WeChat?] Why was Xunzhous reaction different from what he had expected? Nan Mu: [Didnt Shanshan say so?She and Wen Huan are friends.] Huo Xunzhou: [How did they know each other?] Nan Mu: [If you have so many questions, why dont you ask her?] Huo Xunzhou thought about this issue seriously. In the end, he got an answer while remaining rational and clear-headed. Even if he went to ask Lin Shanchu, she would definitely ignore him. However, it did not matter. He still had other ways to find the answer. Huo Xunzhou found Wen Huans WeChat contact. Huo Xunzhou: [Whats your budget for buying a car?] Wen Huan was so happy that his hands were trembling as he replied to Huo Xunzhous message. Huo Xunzhou patiently analyzed the performance of off-road vehicles of various brands at the same price for Wen Huan. After that, he began to get information from Wen Huan. Huo Xunzhou: [Are you going with your girlfriend on the self-drive tripter?] Wen Huan: [I have no girlfriend.] Huo Xunzhou: [You may have no girlfriend now, but you may have one in the future..] Chapter 230 - 230: She Is Quite Pretty, But Is Her Character… Cute? Chapter 230: She Is Quite Pretty, But Is Her Character Cute? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Huan felt somewhat puzzled. He did not expect Huo Xunzhou to be so gossipy. He was quite down-to-earth. Wen Huan: [No, I dont even have a target right now, so it wont be that fast. Besides, I prefer the feeling of being alone and free.] He had no target. In other words, among all the women that Wen Huan knew, there was no one whom he liked and wanted to develop an intimate rtionship with. But the problem was Why didnt Wen Huan like Lin Shanchu? It did not make sense. As soon as Li MO entered the house, he saw Huo Xunzhou frowning at his phone with a puzzled expression. He thought that Huo Xunzhou had encountered some kind of problem. It should not be the case. Things had been going well recently. Huo Chaosheng was very obedient to his brother. The matters on Lin Shanchus side had been handled smoothly. He had just seen the news that Tang Qidai had been arrested. Big brother, whats wrong? Huo Xunzhou raised his head and stared at Li MO with a serious expression. I have a question Li MO pointed at himself tentatively. You want to ask me? Huo Xunzhou replied, Yeah. Li MO scratched his head in confusion. Big Brother, if you cant even solve the problem, how can I figure it out? You can do it. This question is very simple. Huo Xunzhou waved at him, gesturing for him to sit down and talk. Li MO was even more confused. Since it was just a simple question, why did Huo Xunzhou have to ask him? Huo Xunzhou clearly knew that there was a gap between their intelligence. Could it be that he had done something wrong again? The more Li MO thought about it, the more he felt that he might have done something wrong again. When he sat down across from Huo Xunzhou, he sat in an extremely upright position with a guilty conscience. Do you think there will be a man who doesnt like Lin Shanchu? Huo Xunzhou asked him seriously. Huh? Li MO was not sure if he had misheard Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips and patiently asked again, Do you think there will be a man who doesnt like Lin Shanchu? Li MO confirmed that he had not misheard Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou asked the same question just now. In fact, he still thought that this question was a little ridiculous and wondered if he had misheard Huo Xunzhou. However, Huo Xunzhou was already at the end of his patience for asking the same question twice. He dared not make Huo Xunzhou repeat it again. Yes, Li MO replied firmly. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with his answer. Think about it carefully. Answer me when youve thought it over. Big brother, its such a simple question. Even if I think about it a hundred times, I will still give the same answer Li Mos voice gradually became softer until it was muffled under Huo Xunzhous kind gaze. Go on, Huo Xunzhou said expressionlessly. Speechless, he dared not continue speaking. Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrow. Li MO shrunk his neck and continued, Some people love money as much as their lives, some people treat money like dirt, and some people dont like Miss Lin. Isnt this normal? Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips expressionlessly as he replied, You know how to use metaphor? Looks like youve been reading seriously recently. No matter how Li MO listened to thetter half of his words, he felt that it was apliment. He was a little embarrassed. Didnt you tell me to study more? You said that I wouldnt be easily fooled if I studied more Huo Xunzhou asked, Did you think I was praising you? Li MO looked dazed. Didnt you? Youre the dirt! Huo Xunzhou said coldly. Li MO hurriedly waved his hand. Im not saying Lin Shanchu is dirt. What I mean is, what you think is good doesnt necessarily mean that that other people also think its good, just like I dont like the type like Miss Lin Why dont you like her? Whats bad about her? Huo Xunzhou looked intently at him. For the first time, Li MO felt that Huo Xunzhou was being unreasonable. Big Brother, your mentality is wrong. Just because you like her, you cant think everyone in the world wants to snatch her from you! Get out. Huo Xunzhous tone was filled with anger. Li MO chuckled and left. Big brother, sorry. Hehe. As soon as Li MO stepped out of the house, he saw Huo Chaoshenging out of the elevator on the other side. Is Third Brother busy? Huo Chaosheng asked him. After thinking for a while, Li MO replied seriously, Hes a little busy. Huo Xunzhou was busy getting angry with him. Oh. Third Brother, can Ie in? Huo Chaosheng walked over and Imocked on the door. He pushed the door open and walked in without waiting for a response from the person inside. Huo Xunzhou sat in front of his desk with a serious expression on his face and his phone was in front of him. Did something happen? Huo Chaosheng asked in confusion. Do you like Lin Shanchu? Huo Xunzhou asked. Huo Chaosheng looked at his phone and then at Huo Xunzhous expression. He thought he understood the meaning behind Huo Xunzhous words. Huo Xunzhou disliked Lin Shanchu. He had warned him to stay away from Lin Shanchu in the afternoon, but now he asked such a question. Perhaps he was still worried about him. I dont like her! Huo Chaoshengs expression was as sincere as it could be. He thought that Huo Xunzhou would be satisfied with his answer. As a result Huo Xunzhou coldly said, Get out. Huo Chaosheng quickly exined, Third Brother, dont be angry. Im telling the truth. I dont have any romantic feelings for Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou grimaced even more. Alright, alright, alright. Ill go out. Before Huo Chaosheng closed the door, he did not forget to show his determination. Third Brother, I really, really dont like Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. He understood Li MO and Huo Chaosheng. If they said they did not like Lin Shanchu, then they definitely did not like her. They were telling the truth, but Huo Xunzhou could not understand them. Lin Shanchu had a cute character and was pretty. How could anyone not like her? Huo Xunzhou took out his phone and made a call. The call went through and a young mans smiling voice came from the other end. What kind of big day is it today? Zhouzhou actually gave me a call personally? Yun Jin. Huo Xunzhou was upset with the nickname Zhouzhou. Yun Jin was not afraid at all and even pushed his luck. Zhouzhou, you took the initiative to call me, so you must have business with me. Shouldnt you have the right attitude when voure asking someone for a favor? Call me Second Brother. Yun Jin was just used to being mean. He did not expect Huo Xunzhou to really call him Second Brother. He was about to ask Huo Xunzhou why he was looking for him, but Huo Xunzhou suddenly called out, Second Brother. What happened? Yun Jin was so shocked that he knocked over the ss of water beside him. Do you like Lin Shanchu? Yun Jin was a little confused by Huo Xunzhous iplete question, but he still replied truthfully, Why should I like her? Huo Xunzhou replied, Because shes pretty and has a cute character. Yun Jin was bewildered. Yun Jin searched in his mind for the news rted to Lin Shanchu that he had seen on the Inte recently. Then, he deliberated and said, She is quite pretty, but is her character cute? Huo Xunzhou replied, Its cute. Yun Jin faked aughter. Its fine as long as you think shes cute. Its fine as long as you like her. It doesnt matter what I think.. Chapter 231 - 231: Is It Glorious to Speak of This Incident? Chapter 231: Is It Glorious to Speak of This Incident? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou could tell that Yun Jin did not like Lin Shanchu either. He hung up on Yun Jin in rage. Lin Shanchu was very cute in the first ce! Hello? Yun Jin brought the phone to his front and took a look, only to find that the call had been hung up. He stared at his phone for a moment before calling Yun Yi. The call went through. Before he could say anything, Yun Yi asked, Did you cause trouble again? Yun Jin had mixed feelings. Brother, am I the kind of person who causes trouble all the time in your eyes? Isnt that so? How many times has Xunzhou helped you clean up your mess? Do you want me to do the math for you? Yun Jin felt guilty and whispered, Brother, Im looking for you because of Zhouzhou. What happened to him? Yun Yis voice instantly sounded serious. Yun Jin replied, I feel that hes a little strange. Go to Xu City to meet him when you are free. Judging from Huo Xunzhous tone just now, it seemed that he had taken a fancy to that woman, Lin Shanchu. It was alright for him to take a fancy to Lin Shanchu, but at least he should have normal cognitive functions. Yun Jin felt that his cognitive functions were already abnormal. I happen to have ns to go to Xu City recently. Ill talk to Xunzhou when the timees. The entertainment reporters who followed Lin Shanchu to the hospital had exposed Lu Shiyuans hospitalization. The police had taken Tang Qidai away for case investigation. The two of them appeared on the trending search list. The fiasco during this period finally showed signs ofing to an end. The dramatic reversal for the consecutive days made theizens be cautious. [Tang Qidai has really fallen from grace this time. She can no longer clear her name, right?] [She was taken away by the police. It seems that shes really done for this time.] [Ive listened to the recording. I feel that the beating was terrible. However, it has been a long time and I feel that its a little difficult to obtain evidence] [Whats so difficult about it? She can still do an injury evaluation.] [Shes not done for. Lu Shiyuan must have gotten up from the hospital bed and gone to the police station to bail Tang Qidai out.] [I dont think Lu Shiyuan is that kind of love-struck. Given Tang Qidais situation, does he still want to bail her out?] [Is there a possibility that Lu Shiyuans hospitalization is actually fake and that he just doesnt want to interfere in Tang Qidais affairs?] Theizens spected deeply about Lu Shiyuans current psychological activities. It became more and more ridiculouster on. Some people even said that Lu Shiyuan was going to abandon Lu Corporation nnd plnnp IAIith Tnno Oidni tn on *hrnnd nnd thnt thaw ?thpir escape n. This group ofizens was really interesting. Lin Shanchu was so happy that she did not forget to take a screenshot of thements and share it with Lu Shiyuan. She did not have Lu Shiyuans WeChat contact, nor did she save his phone number. However, she was the female lead of an angst love story. She would remember the phone number of the scumbag male lead. Lin Shanchu frowned and keyed in Lu Shiyuans number before sending him the screenshot. When she thought of the scene where Lu Shiyuan would smash his phone angrily after seeing the screenshot, she couldnt help but feel happy. The dignified president of Lu Corporation had now be theughing stock of everyone. It was not something honorable. It would also affect Lu Corporations stock price. In the hospital, Lu Shiyuan had just finished changing the wound dressings. Zhou Yan reported his work at the side. As soon as the work report ended, Lu Shiyuans phone rang with a new message notification. Lu Shiyuan leaned against the headboard of the bed with a pale face. He raised his hand and gestured for Zhou Yan to help him check the text messages on his phone. Apart from Tang Qidai, the rest of the people who contacted him were business partners. He already knew that Tang Qidai had been taken away by the police. The people who would contact him now were people rted to work. With his current physical condition, he really did not have much energy to deal with these matters. When Zhou Yan saw the contents of the text message, his expression changed. Who sent the message? Lu Shiyuan closed his eyes to recuperate. Zhou Yan quickly replied, Its a junk message. His tone sounded a little off. Lu Shiyuan suddenly opened his eyes. Let me see it. Really Give it to me! Zhou Yan could only pass the phone to Lu Shiyuan. When Lu Shiyuan saw thements in the screenshot saying that he was pretending to be sick and was hospitalized, he managed to hold himself together. However, when he saw thements saying that he was going escape abroad with Tang Qidai, he could no longer hold back. Fueled by rage, he threw his phone out. Bang! The phone happened to fall right to Zhou Yans feet. Zhou Yan shifted to the side and said tentatively, President Lu, are we really not going to call the police? The sender of the message was Lin Shanchu. Only Lin Shanchu would be so arrogant and dare to send such a content to Lu Shiyuan. Call the police? Lu Shiyuans eyes were filled with anger. I, Lu Shiyuan, was stabbed by a woman. That woman is my fiance! Is it glorious to speak of this incident? Zhou Yan lowered his head silently. After a while, Lu Shiyuan sneered, If we really call the police, her wish will be granted. I dont quite understand it, President Lu. Zhou Yan was puzzled. You dont have to understand it. I have arranged something else for you to do. Lu Shiyuan seemed to have thought of something, and a cold light shed in his eyes. He Xiang, as the victim, wanted to cooperate with the police investigation. Qi Cheng had apanied her there. Lin Shanchu was idle at home. When Qi Cheng came to pick up He Xiang every day, he would solemnly remind Lin Shanchu, The weather is too hot, and theres nothing fun outside. Just rest well at home. Lin Shanchu knew in her heart that Qi Cheng was afraid that she would go out and cause trouble. Although she did not think she would cause trouble, she was very cooperative and did not go out for the sake of Qi Chengs good intentions. The main reason was that she was still angry at Wen Huan. Otherwise, she would have gone out to y with Wen Huan. She clicked open WeChat and saw that Wen Huan had sent her a new message. Wen Huan: [Red packet.] Wen Huan: [Youre a ruthless person. You can even hold back from clicking open the red packet!] Wen Huan: [Ill hang out with you, alright?] Wen Huan: [You can y whatever you want!] Ever since she had embarrassed herself in thements section of Wen Huans Moments on that day, she had not replied to Wen Huans messages. Wen Huan would send her a few messages to make peace whenever he was free. However, Lin Shanchu felt that she should ignore him for a while. Lin Shanchu clicked open Wen Huans Moments and found that he had posted a new post. Wen Huan: [The drama Top Feast is really ominous. It is clich yet addictive. I stayed up all night to catch up with thetest episode. Its just that its too unbearable to wait for the filmed episode to be aired.] It turned out that Wen Huan had stayed upte to binge watch drama! Lin Shanchu felt like her impression of Wen Huan had shattered. He was not Wen Huan whom she remembered. However, was Top Feast really that good? Lin Shanchu had seen this title on the trending search list. Every time a new drama was aired, it would definitely be trending, which was nothing strange. The title of the drama did not seem to be very interesting. In addition, she was busy messing with Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan, so she did not click on the trending topics for this drama. Lin Shanchu searched online for a while. Only then did she realize that there was an astonishing amount of discussions about Top Feast on the Inte. This drama was quite popr.. Chapter 232 - 232: Do You Have to Be So Scared Chapter 232: Do You Have to Be So Scared Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The keywords in thement section of Top Feast were a little unusualits too clich and too addictive, am I crazy or is the screenwriter crazy?, will people still die?and continue with the romance plot. At first nce, it was difficult to associate these keywords with the title of the drama. She wanted to find out how good this drama was. There was only one sentence in the synopsis: A top-notch banquet at the end of ones desire. Lin Shanchu was amazed by the opening credit before the main show even started. The gloomy opening credit was very well-made. In the extravagant banquet scene, the well-dressed people had smiles on their faces with a razor-sharp sense of uncanniness, assaulting ones senses and making one tremble. After the opening credit was over, the opening scene showed a family gathering in a luxurious manor. In the lively atmosphere, a storm was brewing as a long take showed everyone present one by one. After that, the most powerful old man in the family appeared with his illegitimate daughter. The illegitimate daughter had a pure and kind face, looking innocent and beautiful. ording to the pattern, she was probably the female lead. Lin Shanchu thought that thetter plot would probably be about the female lead being blinded by the wealth of the upper ss and gradually developing evil thoughts. Then, she would be devoured by desire and eventually turn back after going down the wrong path. But soon, Lin Shanchu was pped in the face. The first episode ended with the illegitimate daughter killing a maid. In the second episode, the illegitimate daughter got together with the husband of the old mans eldest granddaughter. However, the old man doted on her and the other grandchildren could not do anything to her. Therefore, they discussed in private how to deal with the illegitimate daughter. In the third episode, the old man told the illegitimate daughter to behave herself and even said that he knew she was not his daughter. It was quite exciting. The screenwriter simply had a wild imagination. It was clich and ridiculous, but it was really addictive. A total of eight episodes were updated. Lin Shanchu watched until the fifth episode in the morning. If He Xiang had not called to ask if she had had lunch, she might have continued watching the drama. Im not hungry. Certainly, she could not tell her that she forgot to eat her meal because she had been binge-watching the drama. You have to eat even if youre not hungry. Theres still sandwiches in the fridge He Xiang reminded Lin Shanchu, as if she was her mother. I understand. Go get busy. Goodbye. Lin Shanchu was busy watching the drama, so she hung up the phone in a hurry after a few perfunctory words. He Xiang was bewildered. Lin Shanchus phone rang again as soon as she just pressed the y button. She was afraid that she would miss the plot, so she did not even take her eyes off the TV screen. She grabbed her phone with one hand and pressed the pause button with the remote control with the other. She did not look at her phone screen, so she thought it was a call from Xiang. Is there anything else? After two seconds of silence, a young mans voice came through. Go out and y. Huo Chaosheng? Lin Shanchu brough the phone to her front and looked at the phone, only to realize that it was really Huo Chaoshengs number. Im at the entrance of your neighborhood. Come out quickly. Im not going. She wanted to catch up with the drama, so she was not going out. You said you wanted to y with me, and now youre going back on your word? Just because I said it doesnt mean I have to do it. Im not a woman of my word either. Not only was Huo Chaosheng not angry, but he even sounded quite happy. Alright then,e out for a meal. If it was a normal person, they would have smashed their phones in anger. Lin Shanchu wanted to hang up the phone directly. However, she suddenly remembered the previous fight between Huo Chaosheng and Lu Shiyuan. It was time to test if Huo Chaosheng could kill Lu Shiyuan. Alright, Ille out right away. Lin Shanchu reluctantly turned off the TV, changed her clothes and went out. Huo Chaosheng was driving an eye-catching golden roadster. He was wearing a pair of sunsses and waving at Lin Shanchu from a distance, looking like a rich young master who spent money like dirt. Lin Shanchu walked up to him and reached out to pull the door open, but she realized that the door would not budge. She grumpily raised her foot andnded two kicks on the car door, gesturing for Huo Chaosheng to open it. Huo Chaosheng jumped out of the car. Who would enter a roadster through the car door? Of course you have to jump in. After he finished speaking, he did a demonstration in front of Lin Shanchu and jumped into the car. Lin Shanchu was speechless. This lunatic was really incurable. She took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, Im wearing a dress. Huo Chaosheng was stunned for a moment before he realized and said, Oh right. Then, he jumped out and opened the car door for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was unable to open her eyes due to the scorching sun. She gritted her teeth and said, Its scorching hot. It wont be scorching hot when theres windter. Although Huo Chaosheng said that, he still closed the soft top. Then, Huo Chaosheng started the car. The roadster shot out like an arrow. Right after Lin Shanchu stabilized her posture, she heard Huo Chaosheng ask her, What are we going to eatter? Its up to you. Although Huo Chaosheng had a screw loose, he was still a mortal who probably would not eat too outrageously. Half an hourter, Lin Shanchu sat at the dining table expressionlessly in a quaint sashimi shop with bizarre interior decoration. A huge sashimi tter was ced in front of her. The beef heart sashimi closest to her was still covered in bloodstains. Of course, there were also sashimi without blood. Therge intestine sashimi that was served on the side did not contain any blood. Huo Chaosheng smiled at her and said, Hurry up and eat. It wont be fresh if you keep it for too long. As he spoke, he picked up a piece ot beet heart sashimi and put it into his mouth. Various raw odors and the smell of blood mixed together, making Lin Shanchu frown. She barely managed to eat a few mouthfuls of sashimi and stopped eating. Huo Chaosheng was not stupid. Naturally, he could tell that she had no appetite. You dont like to eat this? I thought youd like it. Huo Chaoshengs expression darkened because he thought that Lin Shanchu was of the same kind as him, and Lin Shanchu would definitely like whatever he liked to eat. Lin Shanchus expression remained unchanged as she tried to fool him. No, Im just in a bad mood and my appetite is a little bad. If she wanted Huo Chaosheng to help her kill Lu Shiyuan, she had to y some tricks. However, before Lin Shanchu could make the excuse that she had prepared, Huo Chaosheng asked, Is it because Lu Shiyuan is going to be discharged soon? He is going to be discharged? She had gone to the hospitalst time to reopen Lu Shiyuans wound, so he should not have been discharged so soon. Moreover, how did Huo Chaosheng know that Lu Shiyuan was going to be discharged? Dont you know? The news has been spread for a long time. When I passed by the hospital yesterday, I saw reporters guarding the hospital entrance. Huo Chaoshengs words answered the doubts in Lin Shanchus heart, but at the same time, it gave rise to her new doubts. Why did Lu Shiyuan want everyone to know that he was going to be discharged from the hospital? What was Lu Shiyuans motive? Huo Chaosheng observed Lin Shanchus expression and mocked, Why do you look like youre facing a great enemy when you heard that Lu Shiyuan is going to be discharged? Do you have to be so scared? Lin Shanchu did not care about his mockery and asked seriously, Do you know the exact time he will be discharged? Huo Chaosheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. It seems to be today.. Chapter 233 - 233: Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu Announced Their Wedding Is Around the Corner Chapter 233: Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu Announced Their Wedding Is Around the Corner Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu suddenly changed the topic and asked him, Are you full? No, didnt we just start eating? Huo Chaosheng replied and took another two bites. Lin Shanchu stood up with her phone in hand. I have something to do, so Ill be leaving now. Are you going to look for Lu Shiyuan? Huo Chaoshengs eyes brightened instantly. Was Lin Shanchu going to kill Lu Shiyuan again? Lin Shanchu could read Huo Chaoshengs mind. Yes. Ill go with you. Just wait for me for a few more minutes. After Huo Chaosheng finished speaking, he lowered his head and ate the sashimi quickly. He was eating the bloody sashimi with a delighted face. Even though he ate a little quickly, he still looked very elegant. Lin Shanchu stared at him for a while and felt that Huo Chaoshengs expression was somewhat simr to Huo Xunzhous. However, it was not surprising. After all, Huo Xunzhous father and Huo Chaoshengs mother were biological siblings. Huo Chaosheng finished the meal very quickly. He wiped the blood off his mouth and stood up. Lets go. Huo Chaosheng sped all the way to the hospital entrance. Seeing the scene at the hospital entrance, the two of them stopped unbuckling their seatbelts at the same time. Lu Shiyuan stood on the stairs, surrounded by a group of reporters. Everyone, thank you for your attention and love all this time. Actually, my rtionship with Shanshan has always been very stable. Were already preparing for our wedding.. A reporter asked, Are you nning to get married soon? Lu Shiyuan looked gentle as he replied, Yes, because Shanshan likes summer. So, we are nning to hold the wedding before the end of summer. The reporter asked, Will reporters be invited to the venue at that time? To hell with the wedding. Huo Chaoshengs focus was quite special. Why do you like summer? My favorite season is winter. Lin Shanchu stared intently at Lu Shiyuan. Her gaze was as cold as a de. It turned out that this was Lu Shiyuans n. To announce the wedding! Lin Shanchu unbuckled her seatbelt and strode towards Lu Shiyuan. When Lu Shiyuan saw Lin Shanchu, a hint of surprise shed in his eyes. Then, he showed a triumphant smile. The reporters followed Lu Shiyuans gaze and looked back. The reporters surrounded her and threw questions at her simultaneously. Where will your wedding with President Lu be held? Will you ask Yun Wu to be your bridesmaid? Can you please answer our questions? Lu Shiyuan winked at Zhou Yan. In front of others, he had to put up a facade to maintain his reputation. Lin Shanchu walked up to Lu Shiyuan without any hindrance. You and I wont You and I wont She could not utter thest two words get married no matter what, as if she had lost her voice all of a sudden. When Lin Shanchu wanted to try again, she simply could not open her mouth. Standing in front of her, Lu Shiyuan heard the first half of her words and saw the look of disbelief on her face. Logically speaking, with Lin Shanchus temperament, she would definitely cause a scene. But why did she stop talking halfway? Lu Shiyuan concealed the doubts in his mind and asked gently, Are you so happy that you dont know what to say? Scum! Lin Shanchu wanted to scold him, but she could not open her mouth at all. She knew it. It was the influence of the male leads aura again! Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. To her surprise, she could move her hands. Without a second thought, Lin Shanchu raised her hand and pped Lu Shiyuan hard. The atmosphere at the scene instantly froze. All the reporters were dumbstruck as they stared at Lin Shanchu with their mouths agape. Didnt Lu Shiyuan say that they were going to get married? Why did Lin Shanchu p Lu Shiyuan in public? Lin Shanchu had used all her strength, so her palm felt a little numb. However, she still felt that it was not enough to vent her anger. Hence, she kicked Lu Shiyuan hard before turning around and striding away. Huo Chaoshengs car was still parked at the same spot. The moment she got into the car, Huo Chaosheng said, You were going easy on Lu Shiyuan with just a p. Thats not like you. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath to regainposure as her chest heaved violently. Why dont I just drive over and kill him on your behalf? Huo Chaosheng made a gesture and started the car. Its not certain whether he or you will die. When Lin Shanchu heard her own voice, she realized that she could speak again. As expected, the male leads aura had rendered her speechless in front of the reporters just now. She could not even reject Lu Shiyuan in public, so how could Huo Chaosheng possibly kill Lu Shiyuan by running him over? Lin Shanchu punched the car window in anger. Bang! The car window was unscathed, but her hand was injured with blood oozing out. Are you looking down on me? Huo Chaosheng asked unhappily. If you dont believe me, then try it. Lin Shanchu mmed the door and got out of the car. She then hailed a cab and left. Lin Shanchu grabbed her hair anxiously and bent down to bury her face in her knees. The driver asked her with concern, Miss, are you okay? Lin Shanch did not say anything. The driver slowed down and turned to look at her from time to time. After some time, Lin Shanchu heard her phone vibrate. She looked up and took out her phone from her bag. Wen Huan had sent her a message. Wen Huan: [Youre getting married to Lu Shiyuan?] Wen Huan: [Since youre getting married, why dont you be more careful? [photo][photo][photo]] Lin Shanchu clicked open the photos and smiled after taking a closer look. The people in the photos were her and Huo Chaosheng. It was a series of photos taken from the moment they got off the car, entered the sashimi shop, and until they got into the car together. They were obviously candid shots. Wen Huan was really amazing. Lin Shanchu smiled and replied his message: [Youre really amazing.] wen Huan: Lin Shanchu: [Publish the photos you took.] Wen Huan: [Am I the kind of person who would sell out his friends for pride?] Lin Shanchu: [Otherwise, Ill send the photos to other reporters.] Wen Huan: [Ill publish them!] Ill publish them right now! The scandal between a popr actress and a former member of a top-notch boy group is enough for me to get a new car!] Lin Shanchu clicked open her Weibo. The hashtag #LuShiyuanandLinShanchuAnnouncedTheir WeddingIsAroundTheCorner topped the entertainment ranking. The interview video had already been uploaded. In the video, she was in the same frame as Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan had a gentle look on his face, whereas her front face was not shown, so her expression could not be seen clearly. The part where she pped Lu Shiyuan was not released. [Who can persuade Lin Shanchu?] [I wont listen, I wont listen. I dont believe that Lin Shanchu will marry this disgusting man!] [But she didnt even retort. She even appeared in the same photo together with Lu Shiyuan.] [Lin Shanchu is really hopeless. Is she a garbage collector? How could she want this kind of trashy man?] [Respect and blessing.] Lu Shiyuans reputation was getting worse and worse. Not only did Lin Shanchus fans dislike him, even Lin Shanchus anti-fans found it hard to ept that they were getting married. [Although Im an anti-fan, I cant bear to see Lin Shanchu with such a filthy man.] [Are there no other men in this world? Any one of them would be better than this Lu guy!] Chapter 234 - 234: Thank You, Sister Rabbit, I’m Delighted Chapter 234: Thank You, Sister Rabbit, Im Delighted Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Apart from fans and anti-fans, manyizens and opponents were watching the drama unfold, including some of Tang Qidais diehard fans. [After reading thements, you guys make it sound like Lu Shiyuan isnt good enough for Lin Shanchu.] [Its normal for a man like Lu Shiyuan to be a yboy. Hes already very responsible for being willing to marry Lin Shanchu, okay?] [Lin Shanchu is so crazy, do her fans really think shes a fairy in the sky?] [Shes done so many things just to trample Tang Qidai and get to the top. Shes not much nobler than Tang Qidai] The top of her phone screen showed that Wen Huan had sent her another WeChat message. Wen Huan: [[screenshot] Ive already edited the content. Are you sure you want to post it?] Lin Shanchu: [Hurry up. You wont be able to ride on the poprity if yourete.] Wen Huan: He did not understand. The other rising female celebrities were afraid of getting involved with popr men. Lin Shanchu, on the other hand, looked impatient. He suspected that Lin Shanchu knew nothing about the power of Huo Chaoshengs fans. Wen Huan kindly reminded her: [If these photos are posted, Huo Chaoshengs fans will eat you up for sure.] Lin Shanchu: [It doesnt matter.] Wen Huan: [ Sure.] After that, there was no more movement from Wen Huans end. Lin Shanchu turned on Weibo and clicked on the homepage of Entertainer Huan. Then, she saw the new Weibo post he had posted. It was posted one minute ago. [Huo Chaosheng drove a luxury car to take Lin Shanchu out for a sashimi feast. When they got out of the car, Huo Chaosheng considerately opened the car door for Lin Shanchu. The two of them got along very well throughout the process] Six photos were attached along with the post. Wen Huan was a photographer, so the photos he secretly took were clear and looked good. Lin Shanchu immediately liked Wen Huans Weibo post. The next second, Qi Cheng called her. Shanshan, didnt I tell you not to go out? Whats going on with the trending search list? Wen Huan had just posted on Weibo that she had dinner with Huo Chaosheng, but it was not trending yet. Qi Cheng was probably asking about her wedding with Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu exined, I went out with Huo Chaosheng, but we went to the hospital on the way. Both you and Huo Chaosheng went out? Yeah. The reporters didnt take any photos, did they? They did. What? The photos have already been published. They should be trending soon. Qi Chengs vision went dark and he almost fainted. Where are you now? I just got home. Ill be right back with He Xiang Qi Cheng hung up the phone impatiently before his voice tell. By the time Qi Cheng got home, Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaoshengs affair was already trending. The trending topic was simple and straightforward. #HuoChaoshengDroveALuxuryCarAndTookLinShanchuToEatSashimi Comment section: [Am I out of touch? Are these two the kind of people who would dine together in private?] [Alec is usually very low-key. As everyone knows, men are only particrly high-profile when theyre flirting with girls.] [When Huo Chaosheng was a supporting guest for My Stage, he obviously treated Lin Shanchu differently from the other trainees.] [Can I say that I started to ship them since then? Its just that his fans are too strong, I didnt dare to speak out.] [Hahaha, this woman, Lin Shanchu, has never disappointed me! She had just announced her marriage, and then she hooked up with a superfamous figure. Amazing, amazing!] [So, Lin Shanchu married Lu Shiyuan just to cheat on him?] [Awesome! An eye for an eye is necessary to deal with scum. Sister Rabbit, youre the best ever!] [Thank you, Sister Rabbit, Im delighted.] Huo Chaoshengs female fans also started to show up one after another. [The two of them in the photo are not intimate. They are just ordinary friends.] [I hope everyone will pay attention to their work and dont cause trouble to both parties by spreading rumors indiscriminately.] Theizensmented: [Its so ordinary that the straight guy, Alec, helped her open the car door.] [They have been photographed. How can this be spreading rumors indiscriminately?] Huo Chaoshengs fans started to refute the rumors. After Qi Cheng finished reading thements under the topic, he returned to Lin Shanchus Weibo page and looked at thement section. Ever since the news of Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng dining together became trending, the direction in thement section also changed. They were allments such as Sister is awesome, female role model and anger the disgusting man. Not only did Lin Shanchus Weibo followers not decrease, but it even increased by quite a bit. Lin Shanchu noticed that Qi Cheng had been staring at her with a grave expression after he finished looking at his phone. Lin Shanchu felt a little guilty under his gaze. She pursed her lips and blinked as she asked, Brother Qi, whats wrong? It took Qi Cheng a long time before he said slowly, I dont understand it. He Xiang next to him also stared at Lin Shanchu and said, Actually I dont quite understand it either. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Qi Cheng said, Any of the two incidents that happened to you today will cause you to lose fans and be ndered. He Xiang said, But you have not lost fans. Qi Cheng echoed, You even gained a lot of fans. He Xiang said, Everyone is really tolerant of you. Qi Cheng added, I dont understand your fans, nor do I understand why you managed to attract so many fans and anti-fans at the same time. He Xiang replied, But thats not important. Its fine as long as the result is good. Qi Cheng and He Xiang continued their conversation like they were doing a crosstalk. Lin Shanchu could not join the conversation at all. Are you two done? Lin Shanchu asked. Both of them nodded. Lin Shanchu rubbed her belly and looked at He Xiang. He Xiang, I didnt eat enough at noon. Can you cook something for me? Qi Cheng asked, Didnt Huo Chaosheng take you out for a feast? The smile on Lin Shanchus face instantly disappeared. Have you eatenrge intestine sashimi? When He Xiang imagined the taste, she almost shouted profanity. Then, she immediately got up. Wait for me a moment, Sister Lin. After Lu Shiyuan had the media spread the news that he and Lin Shanchu were getting married, he ordered Zhou Yan to pay attention to the movements on the Inte. After knowing that his marriage with Lin Shanchu was trending, he wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine. Everyone in the country knew that they were getting married, so he had to share this good news with Lin Shanchu. He had just taken a screenshot, but before he could sent it out, Zhou Yan hurriedly knocked on the door and came in. President Lu, look at this. He handed Lu Shiyuan the Weibo post that Entertainer Huan had secretly taken of Huo Chaosheng driving a luxury car and taking Lin Shanchu out for a sashimi feast. Lu Shiyuan was furious. Do I have to teach you how to deal with something like this? Zhou Yan looked reluctant. Entertainer Huan is a reporter. I cant contact him for the time being. Considering the exposure of this Weibo post and Entertainer Huans personal influence, the tform administrator disagreed to delete this Weibo by pulling strings behind the scenes. The background of Entertainer Huan was not known, but his business ability was so strong that he could photograph things that others could not. He had many loyal fans, and his influence was a match for an A-list celebritys.. Chapter 235 - 235: Die-hard Fans Chapter 235: Die-hard Fans Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he picked up the ashtray beside him and threw it at Zhou Yan. Then find a way to contact him! Find a way to get the tform administrator to deal with this Weibo post! Zhou Yan did not dare to dodge it. Fortunately, the ashtray only hit his shoulder. Zhou Yan lowered his head and said respectfully, There are too many reposts, and Huo Chaosheng is very popr. Its already trending. Lu Shiyuan clicked on the trending search list and saw the hastag #HuoChaoshengDroveALuxuryCarAndTookLinShanchuToEatSashimi had already surpassed #LuShiyuanandLinShanchuAnnouncedTheir WeddingIsAroundTheCorner. With a sullen face, he clicked on the topic What greeted his eyes were topics like anger the digusting man, cuckolded Lu Shiyuan and Sister is awesome. Exasperated, Lu Shiyuan smashed the tablet on the spot. Its that Huo guy again! After Huo Xunzhou left, Huo Chaosheng came! Zhou Yan said tentatively, President Lu, Miss Lin is your fiance after all. Its naturally unreasonable for Huo Chaosheng and Miss Lin to go out together. We can use this point for public rtions. Since you know it, then hurry up and do it! Lu Shiyuan shouted. Zhou Yan immediately turned around and went out. The public rtions department acted quickly. The Inte trolls stepped in and leading public opinion bymenting that Huo Chaosheng was a homewrecker. Huo Chaoshengs fans naturally refused to believe them. They confronted the Inte trolls. Theizens who had condemned Lu Shiyuan for being a disgusting man also showed up one after another. [How dare you nder them? Huo Chaosheng and Lin Shanchu didnt hug each other. They are innocent.] Someizens even tagged Lu Shiyuan: [Dont you have a friend called Tang Qidai who hugged you? You can make friends, but your fiance cant do so? You have to be reasonable. To think that youre a president.] Then, countlessizens followed suit. [@Lu Shiyuan, although you and Tang Qidai hugged each other, we believe that you both are just ordinary friends.] [@Lu Shiyuan, you can make friends of the opposite sex, so can your fiance, right?] [@Lu Shiyuan, you apanied your friend of the opposite sex to dinner and attended a party. Its not a big deal for your fiance to have a friend of the opposite sex open the car door for her, right?] [@Lu Shiyuan, youre a president. Dont tell me you dont even have this kind of tolerance?] There were too manyizens who addressed Lu Shiyuan. It was difficult for Lu Shiyuan not to see thements. Theizens were sharp-tongued. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that his wound almost split open. He immediately scolded Zhou Yan, Is this how you do things? Zhou Yan could only put pressure on the public rtions department again. The public rtions department was also a little troubled. Both Huo Chaosheng and Lin Shanchu yed dumb, nor did they respond to thements. Huo Chaosheng used to be a member of SOF, and everyone in the industry knew that SOF was famous for their strong team abilities. There had never been any negative news about them. Therefore, they could only shift the focus to the fact that Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan were childhood sweethearts and that true love was hard to break. [After all, Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan grew up together. They are considered family now. The quarrels and conflicts are only temporary. Lin Shanchu still loves Lu Shiyuan the most.] [I dont think Lin Shanchu will like Huo Chaosheng.] [+1, I also think that Lin Shanchu only likes Lu Shiyuan.] Netizen: [Where did the Inte trollse from? Lets earn money together, okay?] Lin Shanchus fan: [Our Sister Rabbit is a little crazy, but shes not brainless. Thank you.] Huo Chaoshengs fan: [What right does Lu Shiyuan have topete with our His fans immediately swarmed into thement section of Lin Shanchus Weibo post: [Excuse me, do you like our brother?] [Do you like Alec?] At this moment, Lin Shanchu was having her meal. He Xiang had made fried rice for her, and she was eating it with relish. Qi Cheng was afraid that Lin Shanchu would cause trouble again, so he had not left. While she was eating her meal, he kept staring at her from the side. During this time, Qi Cheng had been talking to thepany on the phone to discuss the trending topic. Nan Mu called Qi Cheng after he was done with his work. Huo Chaosheng hasnt responded yet. Lets wait and find out what they think. Then, well work together to deal with itter. Nan Mus voice was filled with excitement. Theizens knew that Lu Shiyuan had been cuckolded. How could he not be happy? Qi Cheng did not understand Nan Mu. Lin Shanchu had caused such a big mess, yet Nan Mu was quite happy instead of getting angry. He asked tentatively, President Nan, its indeed inappropriate for Shanshan to cause the incident today Nan Mu was happy and said what was on his mind, No, she did a good job! Nan Mu cleared his throat awkwardly. What I mean is that photo! Thats right, Shanshan in the photo is still as beautiful as ever. I have something else to do, so Ill hang up now. Qi Cheng was speechless. There was one more thing Qi Cheng did not understand about thepany, Tianzhou Media. Under the leadership of an unreliable boss like Nan Mu, how could Tianzhou Media manage to prosper? Right after Qi Cheng hung up the phone, He Xiang walked over. Brother Qi, thepany just called to say that theres something abnormal with Sister Lins Weibo statistics. Abnormal? Thements suddenly skyrocketed. Lin Shanchu had clicked open her Weibo page. They are fans of Huo Chaosheng. Theyre asking me if I like Huo Chaosheng on my Weibo page. Huo Chaosheng was really popr. He had so many fans who defended him. What happened? Qi Cheng immediately picked up his phone. Lin Shanchu had quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Lu Shiyuan probably hired Inte trolls to say that I love him very much. Huo Chaoshengs fans are unconvinced and think that its impossible for me to like Lu Shiyuan over Huo Chaosheng When He Xiang heard those words, she was delighted. Are they the so-called die-hard fans? Hahahaha. Qi Cheng alsoughed, but soon, the smile on his face disappeared. Then, he asked Lin Shanchu warily, Dont move! Huh? Lin Shanchus eyes widened. Hurry up, bring her phone over, Qi Cheng said to He Xiang. He Xiang walked up to Lin Shanchu and said, Brother Qi told me to take your pnune. Lin Shanchu handed the phone to He Xiang cooperatively. When Qi Cheng got the phone, he heaved a sigh of relief and said earnestly, Shanshan, dont ever provoke Huo Chaoshengs fans. Ignore them. Lin Shanchu stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth and said seriously, But Ive already replied to them. Qi Chengs eyes widened in shock as he almost fell off his chair. What did you reply? I like him. Thud! Qi Cheng fell off his chair. He Xiang also looked at Lin Shanchu with a terrified expression, as if she was about to cry. Were done for. Lin Shanchu calmly gestured to He Xiang, Give me your phone. I want to see if Huo Chaosheng has replied to me. He Xiang returned the phone to Lin Shanchu with a long face. Lin Shanchu operated the phone screen for a while before showing it to them. Huo Chaosheng has replied to me.. Chapter 236 - 236: This Round Is Over, But There Is Another Round Chapter 236: This Round Is Over, But There Is Another Round Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiang and Qi Cheng leaned closer and took a look Alec Huo Chaosheng replied to Lin Shanchu: [Me too. [Heart hands.jpg]] This He Xiang chose her words wisely before she asked, Isnt he a little too tant? Qi Chengs lips twitched, as if he could not find the right words to say. In the end, he did not say anything. Lin Shanchu took the phone back and sighed, Huo Chaosheng and I have some tacit understanding. Back then, Huo Chaosheng called her immediately when she showed up on the trending search list because of the condemnation. Therefore, she was certain that Huo Chaosheng was also paying attention to the situation on the Inte at this moment. Furthermore, Huo Chaosheng had been dragged into this scandal. Huo Chaosheng had not taken action because he was waiting for her to make a move. Otherwise, Huo Chaosheng would not have replied to her so quickly. Qi Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally blurted out, Arent you guys afraid of being called an immoral couple? Lin Shanchu cast a deep nce at Qi Cheng without a trace of impurities in her clear eyes. They were so clear that Qi Chengs hair stood on end. Ill call thepany. Qi Cheng picked up his phone and ran to the balcony to make a call. He Xiang sat next to Lin Shanchu with her fingers swiping across the screen as she said happily, No one scolded you two of being an immoral couple! Lin Shanchu was speechless. The interaction between Huo Chaosheng and Lin Shanchu pushed the poprity of this incident to the pinnacle. Netizens who were watching the drama unfold began to mediate the dispute by favoring one side. [They be friends because they like each other. Everyone, dont you like your friends?] [Thats right. Its normal for friends to like each other.] [Lin Shanchu has good taste.] [Who doesnt have friends of the opposite sex?] [Lu Shiyuan also has a friend of the opposite sex. Hes so generous, so he must be able to understand Lin Shanchu.] After theizens were done mediating the dispute, they went to Lu Shiyuans Weibo page and sent emojis such as green hat, green frog, green grass and green tree. Other than that, they did notment a single word. It was as if they had made an agreement. Huo Chaoshengs fans yed fair. After Lin Shanchu replied that she liked Huo Chaosheng, they collectively went to help boosting Lin Shanchus poprity, directly make her to the number one spot on the celebrity list. Lu Shiyuans public rtions department did not expect things to develop to this extent. Zhou Yans heart sank when he saw the string of emojisprising green animals and nts on Lu Shiyuans Weibo page. He did not know how he should report the situation to Lu Shiyuan. Worried, he knocked on Lu Shiyuans office door. When he saw the mess inside, he heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lu Shiyuan already knew about what happened online. There was no need for him to report the situation anymore. Lu Shiyuan was standing in front of the window with his back facing him. Zhou Yan could neither see Lu Shiyuans expression nor guess his mood at this time. He also dared not disturb him and just waited quietly at the side. After a long time, Lu Shiyuan finally turned around. His stern face was filled with gloominess. Tell the public rtions department to stop and not care about this matter anymore. Yes. Zhou Yan was somewhat puzzled deep down. Was Lu Shiyuan going to admit defeat? Lu Shiyuan sneered, This round is over, but there is another round. With the help of public opinion, Lin Shanchu took advantage of Huo Chaoshengs poprity and their rtionship and won the round. In the next round, Lin Shanchu might not be so lucky. Lu Shiyuan pulled back. After his failure in leading public opinion, the heated argument on the Inte gradually died down. However, the discussions about the rtionship between Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng kept increasing. Everyone had even forgotten that the entire incident started with Lu Shiyuan announcing his marriage to Lin Shanchu. Lu Shiyuan, as Lin Chanchus fianc, had a very weak presence in this love triangle. Lin Shanchu was still the same. During this period of time, Lin Shanchus poprity had been on the rise and countless brand owners had approached her for various activities and endorsements. Nan Mu declined the luncheon at thest minute and waited for her at thepany. My assistant has sorted out these people who specifically want to cooperate with you. These are the coboration invitations from my old friends Nan Mu pushed stacks of documents toward Lin Shanchu. Qi Cheng walked in from outside and ced a thick document in front of Lin Shanchu. These are the ones Ive screened Lin Shanchu tilted her head and said slowly, There are so many of them There arent many of them. Nan Mu emphasized, These are the ones left after careful screening. He was implying that it would be best for her to ept all these jobs. What a profiteer! Qi Cheng was Lin Shanchus manager. Of course, he was not like Nan Mu who wanted Lin Shanchu to ept all the jobs. He was more concerned about his artist. Ive already picked out the key projects. You can take on these jobs first, and then take your time to look at the rest. Qi Cheng only epted endorsements and business events for Lin Shanchu. After hearing those words, Lin Shanchu asked, Did no one approach me for filming? Nan Mu quickly said, Of course there is! He rummaged through the pile of documents for a long time before finally finding an invitation from a film crew. The producer of Top Feast is acquainted with me. He wanted to invite you for a new role has been suddenly created. Lin Shanchus eyes brightened. Top Feast? Qi Cheng was a little worried. Is that the recently popr drama that was aired while the filming is in progress? Yes, thats the one. Nan Mu asked Lin Shanchu, Are you going to ept the invitation? Of course. Lin Shanchu smiled. If Huo Chaosheng had not called her out to eat sashimi yesterday, she would have catched up to thetest episode of the drama long ago. The first five episodes were already so clich and addictive. She wanted to find out how the screenwriter would continue with the next dozens of episodes. Qi Chengs mouth twitched. Do you know what drama is that? I know. Lin Shanchus tone was filled with excitement. Ill call the producer now. Nan Mu was afraid that Lin Shanchu would regret it, so he took out his phone and called the producer of Top Feast to settle the matter. Qi Cheng was speechless. Qi Cheng let out a long sigh. Theres an important g tomorrow. Ill pick out a gownter. Nan Mu waved his hand and said, Okay, go do your work. After Lin Shanchu and the others left, Nan Mu was happy for a short while until his phone rang. The word Xunzhou was disyed on the screen of his phone. The smile on Nan Mus face instantly disappeared. In the past two days, he was busy hiring Inte trolls to make Lu Shiyuan a cuckold. He had forgotten that Huo Xunzhou wasing back from his business trip. He was panicking now. How should he exin himself when Xunzhou returnedter? He dared not tell Huo Xunzhou directly that he had added fuel to the fire by shipping his woman and that jerk brother of his. Huo Xunzhou would probably kill him. Forget it, he would just y dumb. Finally, the phone quieted down. Just as Nan Mu heaved a sigh of relief, his phone rang with a new message notification. Nanmu tapped open the message and saw a message from Huo Xunzhou: IYou can y dumb however you want. Im on my way to thepany to find you.] Nan Mu was speechless.. Chapter 237 - 237: Shanshan Is Really Hard-hearted and Ruthless Chapter 237: Shanshan Is Really Hard-hearted and Ruthless Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Nan Mu hesitated for three seconds whether he should run away or not. In the end, he decided not to run away. Even if he managed to escape for the time being, he would not be able to get away from Huo Xunzhou forever. He might as well confront Huo Xunzhou head-on! If worse came to worst, he could just find a shield. Nan Mu calmly found Lin Shanchus number on his contact list. Shanshan, lets have lunch together. Its my treat, and well talk about work by the way. Nan Mus unusually gentle tone made Lin Shanchu tense up. Didnt we just talk about it earlier? Nan Mus voice became gentler. We did, but we can talk about something else, cant we? Lin Shanchu asked, Are you alright? Nan Mu just gave up and said, If you refuse to have lunch with me, Ill hang myself in front of your house! Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Nan Mu hung up the phone after saying those words. When Qi Cheng saw Lin Shanchus puzzled expression after answering the call, he asked, Who called you? President Nan. Lin Shanchu looked confused. He said hed hang himself in front of my house if I refuse to have lunch with him. Qi Cheng was speechless. As expected, Tianzhou Media could still operate normally was not because of Nan Mus outstanding ability, but because of his heaven-defying luck. At noon, Lin Shanchu and the rest went to the restaurant that Nan Mu had booked. Nan Mu was waiting at the entrance of the restaurant. When he saw Lin Shanchu and the rest, he weed them warmly, You guys are here. Lin Shanchu felt that Nan Mu was acting a little strange, so she calmly sized him up. Nan Mu grabbed He Xiang and Qi Chengs arms. I have something to tell you guys. Let Shanshan rest in the private room first. Lin Shanchu did not know what Nan Mu was nning, but she knew that he would not harm her. Therefore, she went to the private room without looking back. She pushed open the door to the private room. When the person inside heard the sound, he looked up and their gazes met. Thements that Lin Shanchu had left on Wen Huans Moments crossed her mind uncontrobly. She felt a sudden burst of shame. For a moment, she did not know whether to advance or retreat. Huo Xunzhou did not seem to notice Lin Shanchus hesitation. His maic voice was as cold as ever. Come in and close the door. Pursing her lips, Lin Shanchu entered the private room and closed the door behind her. Then, she found a seat furthest away from Huo Xunzhou and sat down. Huo Xunzhou nced at her expressionlessly. There was a menu beside Lin Shanchus hand. Just as she was about to reach out for it, Huo Xunzhou stood up and handed a menu to her. As if she did not see it, she reached out for the menu beside her. Huo Xunzhous hand that was holding the menu was still suspended in the air and he had no intention of withdrawing it. Upset, Lin Shanchu asked, Are you done yet? You already asked this questionst time. Next time, you can ask something new. But since you just asked me, my answer is still the same. Huo Xunzhou stared at Lin Shanchu and slowly said, Im not done. Lin Shanchu replied, Are you alright? Was Huo Xunzhou really not out of character? Otherwise, how could he talk so much in one go? Huo Xunzhous poker face turned even colder. You and Huo Chaosheng are trending. Do you think Ill be fine? His cold tone seemed to be carrying an indescribable resentment. Surprisingly, Lin Shanchu felt like she had let him down. It was simply baffling! Whats the big deal? Lin Shanchu said angrily. Lu Shiyuan even said that he wanted to marry me! Huo Xunzhou said, This marriage wont work. That might not be the case. Lin Shanchu had a better understanding of the influence of Lu Shiyuans male lead aura. She did not think that the marriage was easy to control. If you believe me, just wait and see. Huo Xunzhous tone carried an undisguised temptation. She tranted it as leave it to me. Huo Xunzhou was confessing to her. If she agreed to it, it would be equivalent to giving a direct response to his so-called pestering. In this way, the two of them became even more entangled. Lin Shanchu smiled. Whether this marriage will work or not, its all between Lu Shiyuan and me. What does it have to do with you? Huo Xunzhou also smiled, but there was no warmth in his smile. Shanshan, youre really hard-hearted and ruthless. Just like before, she did not give him any leeway. Lin Shanchu said, Teacher Huo, its good that you know. Huo Xunzhou replied, Lets order the food then. Lin Shanchu was bewildered. Huo Xunzhou still wanted to have lunch with her at this point? Even a punching bag could not be as tolerant as he was! In the end, Lin Shanchu epted the menu. President Nan isnt here yet. Huo Xunzhou said eloquently, He wonte. Lin Shanchu was confused. He doesnt dare toe. Huo Xunzhou smiled. At this moment, Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Xunzhous smile looked a little scary. She seemed to understand why Nan Mu did not dare toe. After that, the two of them did not say another word and finished the meal in silence. After meal, Lin Shanchu went out, followed by Huo Xunzhou. Then, she saw Nan Mu and the group in the lounge. Nan Mu walked up to Lin Shanchu and nced at Huo Xunzhou behind her. After that, he ttered them as he asked, Are you guys done eating? Thank you for the treat, President Nan. Lin Shanchu emphasized the word treat. Nan Mu smiled guiltily and said, Were all on the same side, theres no need to be so polite. After Lin Shanchu and the others left, Nan Mu went up to Huo Xunzhou. Xunzhou, are you satisfied with my arrangements? Huo Xunzhou looked at him with a faint smile. Thank you for the treat, President Nan. Nan Mu was speechless. The next night, Lin Shanchu went to attend a g. On the way there, Qi Cheng kept reminding her of things to take note of. Just smile and take pictures. Walk slowly on the red carpet. As for the interviewster, if reporters ask some obvious questions, you dont have to answer them Lin Shanchu listened to him seriously, Okay, got it. Qi Cheng became even more worried. Every time he reminded Lin Shanchu, she would always reply like this. However, Lin Shanchu gotten herself into a bigger mess afterward. Qi Cheng let out a long sigh. Forget it. Do whatever you want. The longer he spent with Lin Shanchu, the more he understood why Nan Mu had thrown in the towel. He couldnt help but want to throw in the towel now. The reporters had been waiting at the entrance for a long time. Another car stopped beside Lin Shanchu as soon as she got out of the car. The car door opened, and Lu Shiyuan got out of the car. Shanshan. Under the spotlight, Lu Shiyuans eyes looked gentle. Lin Shanchu nced at Lu Shiyuan indifferently and walked onto the red carpet without looking back. The entire event was broadcast live. When the audience saw Lin Shanchu enter the venue followed by Lu Shiyuan, they started to spam the bullet screen with Huo Chaoshengs name: [Calling Huo Chaosheng.] [Is Alec here? Your friend Lin Shanchu has arrived.] [Alec,e quickly..] Chapter 238 - 238: Even My Fiancé Knows About It. Don ‘t You Know? Chapter 238: Even My Fianc Knows About It. Don t You Know? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Many guests were present at therge-scale g. Each guest had a limited time to walk down the red carpet. Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan quickly disappeared from the audiences sight. Lu Shiyuan had previously announced that their wedding was around the corner in front of the reporters, but the two of them were so distant while attending the g together. This was tantamount to pping Lu Shiyuan in the face. The fans andizens who supported Lin Shanchu were satisfied. [Today is also the day that Sister Rabbit enjoyed herself.] [You ignored the previous Sister Lin, but the current Sister Lin is out of your league.] When the following guest appeared, the bullet screen was flooded withments. [Hes here! Hes here! Hes here with his Best Actor brother!] [Best Actor Huo is here too!] [F*ck! F*ck! These rich brothers are too eye-catching!] [Sorry, Alec. Allow me to be unfaithful for a second! Your brother is so handsome!] [The timing of Alecs arrival is amazing!] [Love triangleing soon!] [Todays Inte is full of excitement too. Hehe Hehehe] Huo Chaosheng pushed Huo Xunzhou into the venue. Dressed in a in ck suit, Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair without looking sideways. His face looked calm, exuding an unignorable aura. Huo Chaosheng was wearing a dark blue suit. It was supposed to be a calm color, but he looked a little unruly in it. When the two of them were next to each other, one could vaguely see some simrities in their looks, but their temperaments were worlds apart. The audience became noisy with the appearance of the two of them. This was the first time the two of them appeared together in public after Huo Chaosheng called Huo Xunzhou Third Brother in My Stage in front of the audience. Not only were the viewers in the live broadcast room excited, but the reporters were also feverish. They could not wait to skip the g and go straight to the interview process. At this moment, a reporter from some media outlet asked, Best Actor Huo, with what identity are you attending the g this time? Huo Xunzhou heard the reporters question. He raised his hand slightly. Huo Chaosheng, who was behind him, stopped in unison. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at the camera. His deep voice was unusually clear in the noisy atmosphere. Partner. Thements on the bullet screen: [Best Actor Huo has be a sugar daddy now-I [Sob, I thought Best Actor Huo was going to make aeback.] [Is Best Actor Huo going to invest in the project too?] In the g, the staff led Lin Shanchu to the seat with her name tag. She was very popr now, so the organizers had arranged her seat in the prominent front row. There were also cameras panning the guests in the g. When Lin Shanchus name tag was captured on the camera, the name tags on both sides of her seat were also captured. Even though it was just a fleeting scene, the keen-eyed audience saw it. [F*ck! What did I just see? Lu Shiyuan is on the left and Huo Chaosheng is on the right?] [Hahaha, I saw it too. Are the organizers on the same team as My Stage? How do they understand us so well?] [Normally, the organizers of a g will avoid such seating arrangements, right?] [The love triangle is scheduled to be upgraded-] Lin Shanchu sat down and realized the situation. She looked at Lu Shiyuans name tag on the left and then at Huo Chaoshengs name tag on the right. After that, she looked past Huo Chaoshengs seat and saw Huo Xunzhous name tag on the other side. The organizers were up to something. Lu Shiyuan came as soon as Lin Shanchu sat down. The organizers were sensible enough to arrange for him and Lin Shanchu to sit together. Lu Shiyuan did not see Huo Chaoshengs name tag on the other side of Lin Shanchu. After sitting down, he nced at Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, look. No matter how much trouble you make on the Inte, everyone will still arrange for us to be together. You cant get rid of me. Is that so? Lin Shanchu looked at him with a faint smile before reaching out to adjust Huo Chaoshengs name tag. Her movements looked natural without a trace of deliberate intent. Lu Shiyuan followed her movements and saw the name on the name tag. The vague smile on his face instantly disappeared without a trace. Huo Chaosheng! How dare the organizers arrange Huo Chaoshengs seat next to Lin Shanchus! The audience who had long been waiting in front of the screenmented: [Lu Shiyuans expression changed. Hahahaha.] Lu Shiyuan was also one of the sponsors of the g. He had invested so much in sponsorship, but was this how the organizers repay his kindness? The staff brought Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng over. When Huo Chaosheng saw Lu Shiyuan, he said, President Lu, what a coincidence. Youre sitting here too? Lu Shiyuan said coldly, It is indeed a coincidence. The audiencemented: [Alec did it on purpose. Hahaha.] [Hes some, but hes so handsome that I dont hate him at all! ] [Theyre starting to fight head-on?] [Fight! Fight!] The staff member was really afraid that the two of them would start a fight, so he quickly walked over and said, The g is about to start. Teacher Huo, Teacher Alec, please take your seats. Huo Chaosheng nced at his name tag. Just as he was about to take a seat, he sensed Huo Xunzhous gaze. He remembered that Huo Xunzhou had reminded him to stay away from Lin Shanchu. Huo Chaosheng turned around stiffly. Then, he attentively moved the chair beside Lin Shanchu away and said, Third brother, sit here. Lin Shanchu was puzzled as she looked at Huo Chaosheng. However, Huo Chaosheng did not even look at her, acting as if he was not familiar with her. After arranging Huo Xunzhous seat, he sat down beside him obediently. The staff did not understand them, and neither did the audience. In fact, Lin Shanchu did not understand them either. Huo Chaosheng usually sucked up to her like apdog, but why was he putting up a pretense now? The g had started, and the camera panned to another location. Shortly afterwards, Lin Shanchu received a WeChat message from Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng: [My brother doesnt let me y with you.] Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou and replied to Huo Chaosheng: Huo Chaosheng: [Hes probably afraid that youll hurt me. I cant help it. Third Brother cares about me so much.] Lin Shanchu: Was Huo Chaosheng going out of character too? Why was he acting like a fool in front of Huo Xunzhou? How could he believe such nonsense? She really did not expect Huo Xunzhou to y such tricks. She couldnt help but mutter, Childish! Huo Xunzhou turned to look at Lin Shanchu expressionlessly, but she had a feeling that he had heard her scolding him just now. Lin Shanchu raised her chin with bravado and met his gaze with her eyes wide open. Huo Xunzhou asked, What are you looking at? Im looking at your little brother. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and said confidently, Theizens know that Im friends with Huo Chaosheng. Even my fianc knows about it. Dont you know? She deliberately emphasized the word friends. Before Huo Xunzhou could react, Lu Shiyuan next to her said angrily, Lin Shanchu, dont go overboard! He had noticed that both Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng were holding their phones just now, so he guessed that they were probably texting each other. Although he was angry, he could still endure it. Not only was Lin Shanchu hooking up with Huo Xunzhou in front of him right now, but she was also flirting with Huo Chaosheng via text messages. He did not where to put himself! Chapter 239 - 239: Fooled by Huo Xunzhou Chapter 239: Fooled by Huo Xunzhou Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu turned her head to Lu Shiyuan and was about to speak, but someone beat her to it. Theizens know that Shanshan and my brother are friends. President Lu, do you think its too much for friends to have eye contact? Tilting his head, Huo Xunzhou looked past Lin Shanchu and gazed at Lu Shiyuan without a trace of friendliness. Friends? Lu Shiyuan sneered. Mr. Huo, your ability to ignore whats important and focus on the trifles is amazing! Huo Xunzhous gaze was as sharp as a de. President Lu, its much worse than your ability to measure other peoples corn by your own bushel. He was mocking Lu Shiyuan for thinking that Lin Shanchu was having an affair with Huo Chaosheng when he himself also had an affair with another woman. The camera happened to sweep across their area at this moment. The audience only saw Huo Xunzhou and Lu Shiyuan confronting each other, but they could not hear what they were saying. [Im so anxious. What are they talking about?] [Give me the link. I want to top up the money. I want to hear what Best Actor Huo and the disgusting said! Argh!] [Best Actor Huo looks so calm, but the disgusting man looks angry. So, Best Actor Huo must have won this round!] Lin Shanchu, who was sandwiched between the two of them, pursed her lips. It took her tremendous self-control to suppress the urge tough. Huo Xunzhou was childish and vicious when he was serious. Lu Shiyuans face was full of forbearance. Huo Xunzhou, this is between me and Lin Shanchu. Its not your ce to meddle in our affair. Huo Xunzhou said calmly, Im in charge of Shanshans affairs. Lin Shanchus phone vibrated again. Huo Chaosheng: [My Third Brother unconditionally epts the people he loves. Now, he even wants to interfere in your affairs [Proud.jpg]] Lin Shanchu: She did not understand him, but she was shocked. She started to sympathize with Huo Chaosheng. Huo Xunzhou must be a brainwashing master! Huo Chaosheng waspletely fooled by Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was really scary. The atmosphere was tense and a conflict would break out at any moment. Lin Shanchu leaned backzily in her chair, looking as if it had nothing to do with her. Lu Shiyuan was so concerned about his dignity that he only dared to say a few words, but he did not dare to start a fight for real. Therefore, she was not worried at all. In Lu Shiyuans eyes, Lin Shanchus attitude was no different from acquiescing to the ambiguous rtionship between her and Huo Xunzhou. Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth and stared at Huo Xunzhou. He then said harshly, Actually, I admire crippled people with a strong will like you. You cant even take care of your own body, yet you still want to meddle in other peoples affairs. Furious, he resorted to a personal attack because he was embarrassed that he could not win in the argument. Lin Shanchu snorted. Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was filled with disdain and just enough to be heard by Lu Shiyuan. On the other side, Huo Chaosheng had been quietly listening to the conversation between Lu Shiyuan and Huo Xunzhou. He turned his head to look at Lu Shiyuan and said coldly, Do you also want to experience the feeling of being crippled? Lin Shanchus expression froze as she looked up at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhous expression was indifferent without any noticeable emotions. Huo Chaosheng was very protective of Huo Xunzhou, but she could not see through Huo Xunzhous real attitude towards him. Lin Shanchu was not interested in listening to Lu Shiyuans nonsense. Before Lu Shiyuan could speak, Lin Shanchu turned around and whispered to him, If you say another word, Ill leave with Huo Chaosheng immediately. Lu Shiyuan red at her. Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows fearlessly. Lu Shiyuan cared about his dignity and could not afford to lose face. Therefore, he did not even make a sound until the end of the g. Lin Shanchu had a peace of mind and her mood was much better. When the g ended, Huo Chaosheng sent Lin Shanchu a WeChat message. Huo Chaosheng: [Help me take care of my Third Brother. I have something to do, so I have to leave now.] Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Chaosheng. When Huo Chaosheng, who was whispering to Huo Xunzhou, noticed Lin Shanchus gaze, he looked up and winked at her. Then, Huo Chaosheng stood up and left. A reporter in the interview area shouted, Lin Shanchu! Lin Shanchu immediately spotted Wen Huan in the crowd. She smiled and waved at Wen Huan. The other reporters thought that Lin Shanchu was greeting them, so they all waved back enthusiastically. Lin Shanchu,e here quickly! Were all waiting for you. Lu Shiyuan next to her stood up and said coldly, Lets go. Lin Shanchu nced at himzily. My friend asked me to help him take care of his brother. Lu Shiyuan then realized that Huo Chaosheng was no longer in his seat. Lu Shiyuan lowered his voice and warned her, Lin Shanchu, are you shameless? Lets go. Huo Xunzhous voice was heard. Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and smiled gently. Okay. She got up and was about to push Huo Xunzhou outside. Lu Shiyuan naturally could not let Lin Shanchu leave just like that, so he reached out to grab her arm. Huo Xunzhou raised his hand to stop him. There are so many reporters with cameras. President Lu, what are you trying to do? Lu Shiyuan shook off Huo Xunzhous hand. He then turned around and strode out. If he had not left the scene, he was afraid that he would have lost control and beat Huo Xunzhou up. Lin Shanchu had utterly embarrassed him, and he could not afford to make any more mistakes. The interview area was located on the only way to leave the venue. When Lu Shiyuan passed by the interview area, a reporter asked him, President Lu, arent you going to wait for your fiance and leave with her? As soon as the reporter finished speaking,ughter was heard in the crowd. Lu Shivuan stopped in his tracks and clenched his fists. I have something urgent to do and have to rush over now. Zhou Yan was waiting for Lu Shiyuan at the exit. When he saw Lu Shiyuaning over, he rushed forward to open a path for him and block the reporters. President Lu Although Zhou Yan was waiting outside the venue, he also Imew about the seating arrangements through the live broadcast. He was the one who contacted the organizers and arranged for the g. Lu Shiyuan would definitely settle the score with him for making such a big mistake. Lu Shiyuan quickly walked out of the venue and stopped at the side of the road. Lu Shiyuans cast a razor-sharp gaze at Zhou Yan, as if he wanted to tear him apart. Zhou Yan exined, Huo Xunzhou is also the sponsor of the g. Hes also Huo Chaoshengs brother. Huo Chaosheng wanted to sit with Miss Lin, so the organizers agreed. Lu Shiyuan frowned slightly upon hearing those words. Why did Huo Xunzhou suddenly sponsor the g? Hadnt he just been investing in projects abroad? Zhou Yan guessed, I think he probably wants to get a share of the pie in the entertainment industry. Lu Shiyuans expression changed slightly as a thought crossed his mind. Theres something wrong with Tianzhou Media. At this moment, a scream came from nearby. President Lu, be careful! Zhou Yan quickly pushed Lu Shiyuan aside. Lu Shiyuan raised his head and saw a car heading straight in the direction he was just in. After the car hit nothing, it turned around and crashed into Lu Shiyuan. It was new neighborhood with t and broad roads and there was nowhere to hide. The car was madly chasing after Lu Shiyuan to hit him. It was as if the driver had made up their mind to take Lu Shiyuans life. Lu Shiyuan pushed Zhou Yan away.. Get out of the way and call the police! Chapter 240 - 240: I Didn ‘t Stop You When You Wanted to Be a Dog Chapter 240: I Didn t Stop You When You Wanted to Be a Dog Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou passed by the interview area, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time couldnt wait to throw questions at them. Lin Shanchu, do you and Alec have any ns after the g? Where is Alec? Lin Shanchu replied, He had something to do and left earlier. Best Actor Huo, do you n to invest in projects in the entertainment industry next? As an elder brother, do you have anything to say about the rtionship between Lin Shanchu and Alec? Huo Xunzhou replied, Chaosheng is an adult. Its a normal rtionship between adults. Why should a guardian interfere in their affair? The reporter asked, When Lin Shanchu gets married, will you attend her wedding? Huo Xunzhou suddenly smiled and said slowly, Of course I will. Lin Shanchu listened carefully and could hear a hint of happiness in his tone. Why was he so happy about the wedding between Lu Shiyuan and her? Lin Shanchu thought for a moment. She had an ufortable look on her face when she realized somethingter. We still have something to do, so well get going now. Lin Shanchu directly pushed Huo Xunzhou outside. After passing the interview area, Huo Xunzhou turned his head slightly and asked her leisurely, Sister Shanshan, why are you so petty? Were you unhappy when I said I would attend your wedding? He took advantage of her and even yed dumb. How shameless! Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. Ill never get married in this life. Really? Huo Xunzhou replied seriously, Then I wont get married either. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Big brother! Li MO walked over quickly. Qi Cheng and He Xiang followed closely behind him. What were you guys looking at just now?Lin Shanchu noticed that the three of them were standing by the window in the corridor and looking out. He Xiang took the initiative and said, Theres a car ident outside. A car ident? Lin Shanchu left Huo Xunzhou to Li MO and walked towards the window. The road outside the window had been cordoned off. As it was located in the suburbs, there were only a few onlookers. Other than some staff members of the g, there were reporters waiting outside the venue. Therefore, Lin Shanchu immediately saw Zhou Yan talking to the police. Zhou Yan worked for Lu Shiyuan and had always been inseparable from Lu Shiyuan. So, was Lu Shiyuan the victim in the car ident? Chaosheng didnt answer the phone. Huo Xunzhous voice suddenly came from behind. Lin Shanchu abruptly turned around and realized that Huo Xunzhou had appeared behind her at some point. The two of them looked at each other silently and did not say anything else. Lin Shanchu quietly took out her phone and called Lu Shiyuan. No one picked up the phone after the call went through. With every passing second, Lin Shanchus smile deepened. Only then did Zhou Yans voicee from the other end of the phone. Miss Lin. Lin Shanchu turned to look out the window and saw Zhou Yan walking towards his car with his phone in his hand. Lin Shanchu asked directly, Wheres Lu Shiyuan? Zhou Yan stopped and pondered for a moment before he spoke, President Lu has been taken to the hospital due to a car ident. Im going there now. Lin Shanchu asked, Which hospital? After memorizing the name of the hospital, Lin Shanchu hung up the phone. She looked at Huo Xunzhou and could not conceal the joy in her voice. Ill be leaving first. Lin Shanchu turned around and took two steps before suddenly turning back. Let me know when youve contacted Huo Chaosheng. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. Lin Shanchu took it as his acquiescence. Huo Xunzhou watched Lin Shanchu leave. Li MO walked up to Huo Xunzhou and showed him a video on his phone. Big Brother, this is a video taken by a passer-by at the time of the ident. On the way to the hospital, Lin Shanchu was excited yet nervous. She was not surprised that Huo Chaosheng could hit Lu Shiyuan with a car. With Huo Chaoshengs personality, he would definitely try to get Lu Shiyuan killed. If nothing unexpected happened Shanshan, were here. Lin Shanchu came to her senses and realized that Qi Cheng had already stopped the car. After getting out of the car, Qi Cheng and Xiang followed Lin Shanchu into the hospital. Lin Shanchu jubntly strode into the hospital. He Xiang and Qi Cheng looked at each other in confusion. Why did Lin Shanchu look so anxious when Lu Shiyuan was involved in a car ident? Zhou Yan had arrived a few minutes before them and was inquiring about Lu Shiyuans situation. The patient who was just brought in due to a car ident? Lu Shiyuan, right? He has already been taken to the emergency room for surgery. The specifics will only be known when the doctores out of the operating room Emergency treatment? Lin Shanchu asked, Is Lu Shiyuans life in danger? There was a hint of uncontroble excitement in her voice. The nurse thought that Lin Shanchu was worried about Lu Shiyuans condition andforted her, There are risks in any surgery, but the condition of the patient in the operating theater shouldnt be serious. You dont have to worry too much. Its not serious? Lin Shanchu was disappointed beyond words. Qi Cheng felt that she was being too obvious, so he quickly said to the nurse, We understand. Thank you. As soon as the nurse left, Zhou Yan couldnt help but question Lin Shanchu, President Lu has a bad temper, but he has been treating you differently. Do you want him dead so badly? Lin Shanchu was in a bad mood after learning that Lu Shiyuan might not die. Zhou Yan insisted on touching a sore point with her. Lin Shanchu walked up to Zhou Yan. As she pressed on step by step, she said, Youre so noble. Youre so great. Youre so magnanimous. I didnt stop you when you wanted to be a dog, but if you insist on persuading me to be a dog like you, then its your fault. Zhou Yan was forced to the corner. He was stunned by Lin Shanchus barrage of words, You Youd better be quiet. I even stabbed Lu Shiyuan, let alone Lu Shiyuans dog. Lin Shanchu did not give Zhou Yan a chance to speak at all. After she finished speaking, she turned around and sat down at the side. Lu Shiyuan was able to live until now because of the male leads aura. Now, even Lu Shiyuanspdog wanted to disgust her. Qi Cheng and He Xiang sat down beside Lin Shanchu respectively in tacit understanding, staring at Zhou Yan vigntly like her guardians. Other than Lu Shiyuan, no one had scolded Zhou Yan like that. Zhou Yan naturally felt angry, but Lu Shiyuans condition mattered most at the moment. After a short while, the door to the operating theater opened. Zhou Yan immediately went up to the doctor. Hows President Lu? Mr. Lu is quite lucky. The car ident didnt cause much damage to him. Its just some superficial injuries, but the old wound on his heart had torn open. He lost too much blood and temporarily fell into aa. The operation has already beenpleted. Hes now being transferred to the intensive care unit for observation for a day. If nothing goes wrong, he can be transferred to the general ward Lin Shanchu had already guessed that this would be the result. Even though she was mentally prepared, she still gritted her teeth when she heard the doctor say those words. Before the doctor could finish speaking, she turned around and left. After the doctor exined the situation to Zhou Yan, he turned his head and looked around. Are there no other family members? Only then did Zhou Yan realize that Lin Shanchu had already left.. Chapter 241 - 241: It Was Not Entirely Bad News Chapter 241: It Was Not Entirely Bad News Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu suddenly ran outside after she stepped out of the elevator. Somethings wrong with Shanshan! Hurry up and go after her! Qi Cheng hurriedly chased after her. The hospital entrance was located in front of a crossroad. At this moment, pedestrians stopped and cars moved as the traffic light had turned red. Lin Shanchu ran to the roadside without stoppage, rushing straight into the middle of the road. Car horns sounded everywhere. Sister Lin! He Xiang was scared silly. He Xiang and Qi Cheng could not find a chance to go over due to the endless stream of vehicles. Qi Cheng saw a person carrying a camera running towards Lin Shanchu. A reporter has gone after her! Its fine. Its Wen Huan. He Xiang also saw him. The rtionship between Lin Shanchu and Wen Huan was inexplicable, but she felt that he was a reliable person. At least, Lin Shanchu trusted him. Wen Huan was angry and anxious as he grabbed Lin Shanchus wrist and was about to pull her to the roadside. Lin Shanchu, what are you doing standing here? Are you crazy?! He exerted quite a bit of force, but he could not move Lin Shanchu who looked skinny. Wen Huan stopped and turned to look at her face. He was shocked by Lin Shanchus terrified appearance. Lin Shanchu! What happened to you? Say something! He waved his hand in front of Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu turned to look at him stiffly. She carefully sized up Wen Huan. After a few seconds, her empty eyes gradually regained a trace of the usual luster. Wen Huan? Wen Huan heaved a sigh of relief. Its good that you still recognize me! Come with me! Wen Huan grabbed Lin Shanchus wrist and dragged her to the roadside. Wen Huan let go of her and began to lecture her with his hands on his hips. youre alreaay In your twenties. Dont you Know tnat youll ale you suaaemy rush into the middle of the road? Theizens said youre crazy, but are you that crazy to show them? You are lucky this time. If there is a next time Lin Shanchu, who had been quietly listening to his lecture, suddenly raised her head and said softly, I wont die either. Wen Huan was puzzled. Lin Shanchu continued, Its not luck that I didnt get run over, but its fate. Wen Huan was perplexed. Lin Shanchu added, No matter how many times I run into the middle of the road, I wont get killed. Wen Huan was baffled. Qi Cheng and He Xiang happened to run over. Wen Huan grabbed Qi Chengs arm as if he had seen his savior. Brother Qi, hurry up and take your artist to the doctor! Sister Lin, are you alright? He Xiang panted and grabbed Lin Shanchus arm with a concerned look on her face, as if she was afraid that she would run into the middle of the road again. Lin Shanchu had regainedposure. She rolled her eyes at Wen Huan. Youre the one whos sick. Wen Huan was speechless. Qi Cheng patted Wen Huan on the shoulder. Thank you. Lin Shanchus phone rang at this moment. It was a call from Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu walked aside to answer the phone. Have you contacted Huo Chaosheng? Hes at my house. He had gone home? Is he alright? The car ident did not hurt Lu Shiyuan much because Lu Shiyuan was the male lead, but it was impossible for Huo Chaosheng to be unscathed. Hes slightly injured. Huo Xunzhous tone sounded obviously a little deeper than before. Ille over now. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone. Then, she walked up to Wen Huan and pulled him by the arm before she asked, Wheres your car? My car Wen Huan turned around and saw a traffic police cing a traffic ticket on his car. Mister police, please show mercy! Im leaving right now! You guys go back first. Ill go out with Wen Huan and will be backter. Lin Shanchu chased after him after saying those words. He Xiang turned to ask Qi Cheng for his opinion. Brother Qi Why are you looking at me? I cant manage her, Qi Cheng said that, but still he took out his phone and called Nan Mu. Nan Mu was at a dinner party and there was a lot of noise over there. He asked, What did Shanshan do this time? Nan Mus words were a little unpleasant to Qi Chengs ears, as if the artist he was managing was a troublemaker. Shanshan performed well today. After the g ended, she didnt say anything nonsense during the interview. Nan Mu asked, Why are you calling me then? Qi Cheng nced in the direction where Lin Shanchu had left. Did the doctor really say that theres nothing wrong with Shanshan after she filled out the mental health assessment formst time? I found the most authoritative psychiatrist. How can it be fake? Nan Mu paused for a moment before he continued, But Qi Cheng asked, But what? Nan Mu replied, Shanshan was the top scorer in liberal arts back then. To her, its simply worthless to answer the questions with the correct answers. The psychiatrist could make a corresponding judgment based on the form. The person could also choose to fill out the form without being true to their heart. While Wen Huan was admitting his mistake to the traffic police, Lin Shanchu opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. When Wen Huan got into the car after being lectured by the traffic police, he looked up and saw Lin Shanchu sitting in the car. Arent you going home? Take me somewhere. Its gettingte. Id better take you home. Lin Shanchu said casually, Go meet your idol. Wen Huan was instantly under her control. Lin Shanchu keyed in Huo Xunzhous address and turned on the GPS before handing the phone to Wen Huan. The car drove steadily on the road. Wen Huan suddenly asked, Are you going to Huo Xunzhous house to have a date with Huo Chaosheng? Its true that Im going to meet Huo Chaosheng, but its not a date. Wen Huan said, Im an entertainment reporter. You should at least respect my profession and be on guard against me. Lin Shanchu looked innocent. Youre the one who asked the question. Were friends, so I cant lie to you. Wen Huan was speechless. It seemed to make sense. Although he felt that Lin Shanchu was a little strange, he could feel that she genuinely wanted to be friends with him. Have we met before? Lin Shanchu always acted as if they were very close, causing him to think that he and Lin Shanchu knew each other in the past. I may have met you in my previous life. I didnt drink enough of Five-voured Tea of Forgetfulness in the underworld, so I felt like hitting it off with you when I saw you again in this life. The more ridiculous her words were, the more sincere her tone was. Wen Huanughed as he said, As if I will believe you! Lin Shanchu alsoughed. Inability to die was not entirely bad news. At least, she could still sit and chat with Wen Huan like this. The vi area where Huo Xunzhou lived was strictly managed. Foreign vehicles could not enter the area. The security guards stopped them at the gate. Lin Shanchu poked her head out of the window. Just as she was about to exin to the security guard, she saw Li MO walking out from the side. Miss Lin, Big Brother told me to wait for you here. Then, Li MO also got into Wen Huans car. Wen Huan kept looking at Li MO through the rearview mirror, and his voice a little excited. Are you the bodyguard that Teacher Huo hired? Ever since Li MO got into the car, he had been sizing Wen Huan up. When a suspicious man appeared beside Lin Shanchu, he, as the top fan who shipped Lu Shiyuan and her, had to observe carefully to find out if the other party was Lu Shiyuans love rival. Yes. Li MO did not understand the situation yet, so he did not seem very friendly.. Chapter 242 - 242: I Want You to Know About Me Chapter 242: I Want You to Know About Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Huanughed foolishly as he said, You look quite imposing. Huo Xunzhous bodyguards were indeed different. Li MO was puzzled. Huh? Why did this person suddenly praise him? He felt that Wen Huan was a little simple-minded and did not look like someone who could be Huo Xunzhous love rival. Therefore, Li Mos treated him friendlier. Its alright. Wen Huan was delighted when he thought that he would be able to meet Huo Xunzhouter. He subconsciously drove faster. Li MO reminded him, Drive slowly, the vi is just ahead. Wen Huan replied happily, Oh, okay. Lin Shanchu could not bear to see that worthless look of his. She let out a long sigh and turned to look out the window. Her impression of Wen Huan hadpletely shattered. The car drove straight into Huo Xunzhous vi. Lin Shanchu noticed that there were a few medical vehicles parked nearby. Huo Chaosheng did not go to the hospital and must have called the doctors toe to treat his injuries. From the looks of it, Huo Chaoshengs injuries were probably not serious. Huo Xunzhou walked out of the elevator as soon as the three of them entered the vi. Wen Huan, who saw him first, greeted him warmly, Best Actor Huo! Huo Xunzhou recognized Wen Huan immediately. He raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded. Then, he instructed Li MO eloquently, Hes Shanshans friend. Treat him well. Li MO understood him immediately. Okay, Big Brother. When Wen Huan heard how Huo Xunzhou addressed Lin Shanchu, he was stunned for a moment and quickly waved his hand. Theres no need to be so courteous. Ill just sit down and take a look Wait for me here, Lin Shanchu said to Wen Huan before striding towards Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou entered the elevator together. Wen Huan watched the elevator close before asking Li MO curiously, Is the rtionship between Best Actor Huo and Lin Shanchu so close in reality? When Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu appeared in front of the camera together, they looked very close. However, Wen Huan, as an insider and a veteran fan of Huo Xunzhou, had always thought that Huo Xunzhou was just taking care of Lin Shanchu. However, he called her Shanshan in a natural and intimate voice. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem to be as simple as taking care of her. Li MOs lips twitched before he revealed a smile. Big Brother and Miss Lin are closer than you think. He did not smile often, so he deliberately forced an awkward smile. Li MO was Huo Xunzhous bodyguard. It was normal for him to be have a strange personality, but he must be very powerful. Wen Huan quickly epted the fact that Li MO was very powerful despite having a wed personality. As an entertainment reporter, Wen Huans keen intuition told him that he had caught wind of a big gossip. Are Lin Shanchu and Best Actor Huo actually in that kind of rtionship? Yeah. Li MO nced at him. Wen Huan was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide. Judging from the look on Wen Huans face, Li MO thought that he must have understood that Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu were a couple. Lin Shanchu is awesome! Wen Huan eximed. Lu Shiyuan was her fianc. She was rumored to have an affair with Huo Chaosheng, but she was also Huo Xunzhous Shanshan behind the scenes. If she was not a seductress who three-timed her fianc, what was she? Li MO replied, Huh? Wen Huan said softly, I didnt expect Best Actor Huo to be so yful. Li MO was perplexed. He vaguely felt that there was somemunication error between him and Wen Huan. However, after thinking about it carefully, he did not notice anything wrong. Jeez, forget it. Anyway, he hadpleted the task assigned by Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou directly took Lin Shanchu to the second floor. As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she saw a group of doctors in white coats standing in the corridor and discussing something in low voices. Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou over. One of the older doctors stepped forward and said respectfully, Young Master, your brothers surgery went well. He should wake up soon. If theres no problem after two days of observation, he just needs to recuperate and recover slowly. Huo Xunzhou nodded lightly. Thank you, Director Song. Young Master. voure wee. You guys go rest. Ill go in and see him. Lin Shanchus gaze followed the direction that the group of doctors had left. Huo Xunzhou had invited a hospital director to his house to operate on Huo Chaosheng. This director even called Huo Xunzhou Young Master? Chaosheng injured his leg and it was inconvenient to take him to the hospital. The director of the private hospital under the Huo family happened to attend a conference with his team in in Xu City, so I just called them over. Before she could ask anything, Huo Xunzhou had taken the initiative to answer her doubts. Since he took the initiative to talk about it, Lin Shanchu seized the opportunity and asked, Is it the top-notch and prestigious Huo family in the capital? Yes. Huo Xunzhous answer was even more straightforward than she had imagined. Although Lin Shanchu had confirmed this fact through various sources, it was her first time hearing the affirmation from Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou stated calmly, Im the young master of the Huo family who has been living in exile since childhood. Lin Shanchu was startled. Why are you telling me this? I dont want to know about you. Huo Xunzhou looked back at her with a smile in his charming eyes. I want you to know about me. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips angrily. Can you be more reasonable? Huo Xunzhou changed the topic and said, Chaosheng should be awake by now. Speechless, she felt that Huo Xunzhou was bing more and more like a scoundrel. Huo Chaosheng was indeed awake. When Lin Shanchu and Huo Zhouzhou came in, he was frowning at his unmovable leg that had been wrapped like a dumpling. Third Brother Youre here too? Huo Chaosheng immediately saw Lin Shanchu standing behind Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou asked, How do you feel? I m fine, but I cant move my leg. As if lost in thought, Huo Chaosheng stared at his leg and asked, Could it be that my leg is broken? Its already connected, Huo Xunzhou replied. Oh. Huo Chaosheng sounded a little regretful. Shortly afterwards, Huo Chaosheng looked up again. Third Brother, I want to talk to Lin Shanchu alone. Dont take too long. You need to rest now, Huo Xunzhou said expressionlessly and left. Huo Chaosheng tilted his head and looked out the door. After confirming that Huo Xunzhou was far away, he urged Lin Shanchu, Hurry up and close the door. In a rare moment of cooperation, Lin Shanchu followed his instruction and closed the door. Huo Chaosheng immediately asked expectantly, Is Lu Shiyuan dead? Lin Shanchu looked at him deeply. Why did you have to run over Lu Shiyuan? Who told him to be reckless and provoke my Third Brother? He deserves to die! Huo Chaosheng said nonchntly, Besides, dont you want him dead ording to Huo Chaosheng, he did not run over Lu Shiyuan just to help Lin Shanchu. However, Lin Shanchu felt strangely touched. The jackals were ferocious, greedy, bold, agile and alert. People hated them for that reason.. Chapter 243 - 243: Congratulations, The Hit-and-run Driver Has Been Arrested Chapter 243: Congrattions, The Hit-and-run Driver Has Been Arrested Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There was another characteristic of jackalsthey did not hurt their own kind. From a certain perspective, jackals were much more loyal than humans. Lin Shanchu stared at Huo Chaosheng and remained silent for a long time. It was long enough to make Huo Chaosheng vignt. Why do you keep looking at me like that? He frowned as his eyes was filled with disdain. The way youre looking at me now is so disgusting. Have you been to school? Lin Shanchu smiled. Why is yourprehension ability inferior to that of a primary school student? Are you scolding me? Huo Chaosheng asked. Lin Shanchu ignored him and continued, Im looking at you with appreciation, not disgust as you think. Huo Chaosheng frowned with a puzzled look on his face. Lin Shanchu leaned forward. Then, she stared at him unblinkingly and enunciated, Repeat after me. This is called appreciation. She pronounced every word with a little emphasis, sounding a little fierce. Huo Chaosheng had never been scolded like this before, so he could not react in time and subconsciously pronounced, This is called appreciation. Thats right. Lin Shanchu smiled appreciatively. Huo Chaosheng felt that Lin Shanchu treated him differently than before. He was not used to it. I helped you kill Lu Shiyuan, and youre so nice to me. Lin Shanchu, youre so hypocritical. Hearing Lu Shiyuans name, the smile on Lin Shanchus face faded. Lu Shiyuan is not dead. Hes still alive. What? Huo Chaosheng had a rare look of disbelief on his face. How is that possible? I stepped on the gas pedal all the way and sent him flying! How can he be alive? Seeing that Lin Shanchus expression did not seem fake, Huo Chaosheng added, Unless hes not human! Lin Shanchu stood up. Recuperate properly. Dont do this kind of thing again. Youre leaving so soon? Huo Chaoshengs voice came from behind. Which hospital is Lu Shiyuan in? Huo Chaosheng was not convinced and wanted to continue killing Lu Shiyuan. Ignoring him, Lin Shanchu mmed the door and went out. Huo Xunzhou was still outside. Are you done talking? he asked. The lights in the corridor were extremely bright, such that the subtle expression on ones face was clearly visible and there was nowhere to hide. Lin Shanchu had locked the door before she spoke to Huo Chaosheng just now. She was sure that Huo Xunzhou did not hear what she said to Huo Chaosheng. However, as she stood there, she felt as if Huo Xunzhou had seen through everything. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes slightly to avoid eye contact with Huo Xunzhou. Huo Chaosheng hasnt given up yet. He still wants toy hands on Lu Shiyuan. Ill get someone to keep an eye on him. Ill get going then. Lin Shanchu nodded. Dont you have anything else to say to me? Huo Xunzhou suddenly blocked her way. Lin Shanchu had expected that he would say those words. Sometimes, she felt Huo Xunzhou was rather less like a normal human beingpared to Lu Shiyuan. Huo Xunzhou was too smart. It seemed that he could guess everything in this world, and nothing could stump him. Lin Shanchu chuckled as she seriously sized Huo Xunzhou up. Actually, you dont hate Huo Chaosheng. Huo Xunzhous expression froze. But in the next second, his expression returned to normal. Arent you the same? he asked rhetorically. No one was a match for Huo Xunzhou when it came to scheming. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath and walked past Huo Xunzhou. Judging from the look of his back, he seemed a little flustered. On the way back, Wen Huan kept sizing Lin Shanchu up with a strange look. If you have something to say, just say it, Lin Shanchu said angrily. Youre quite amazing, Wen Huan said with admiration. Lin Shanchu asked, What? Dont worry, I wont say anything. Wen Huan smiled mysteriously. Lin Shanchu did not understand what nonsense he was spouting. Only then did Wen Huan remember the important matter. Oh right, is Lu Shiyuans injury serious? He had also heard about the car ident after the g ended. He chased after Lin Shanchus car to take photos, just to find out how Lu Shiyuans condition was. Lin Shanchu replied, He wont die. He could tell that she really did not have any feelings for her fianc. Lin Shanchu asked her, If you dont like Lu Shiyuan, why dont you break off the engagement with him? Lin Shanchu could not hold backughter as she said, Guess why I let him announce our marriage in public. Wen Huan asked, Why? Lin Shanchu smiled and changed the topic, Wen Huan, do you believe in fate? Without a second thought, Wen Huan answered, I dont believe it. I dont believe it either. Lin Shanchuughed even more heartily. Wen Huan was still the same Wen Huan. However, Wen Huan, who disbelieved fate, had no choice but to be at the mercy of fate in the original book. Wen Huan felt that Lin Shanchus smile looked a little sad. Feel free to talk to me if you encounter any difficulties. Perhaps I can help you think of a way. I have the aura of a female lead. What can be difficult for me? Wen Huan felt that his concern was unnecessary. Lu Shiyuans car ident hit the headlines that night. Soon, the hit-and-run driver was arrested by the police. The hit-and-run driver had been censored, but judging from the figure, Lin Shanchu could tell that the culprit arrested was not Huo Chaosheng. With the Huo familys power, they naturally had ways to find a scapegoat. Of course, Lin Shanchu would not miss this opportunity to see Lu Shiyuan bing theughing stock. She had recently signed a new cosmetics endorsement, and the brand owner sent her a full set of cosmetics. She put on beautiful makeup and went to the hospital in a morous manner. Lu Shiyuans old injuries had rpsed, and his pale face was in stark contrast to Lin Shanchus. Lin Shanchu took six selfies in the ward and posted them on Weibo. Theizens praised Lin Shanchus natural makeup today. The cosmetics brands official Weibo ount was the first toment on her post and praise her beauty. Lin Shanchu replied to the cosmetics official Weibo ount: [Thanks the sponsor for sending the cosmetics over. Its so useful!] She had aplished her daily promotional task as an endorser. Lin Shanchu put down her phone and looked at Lu Shiyuan. Congrattions, the hit-and-run driver has been arrested. Her voice was filled with joy. People who did not know what happened would think that Lin Shanchu was sincerely congratting him. Lu Shiyuan sneered, I know Huo Chaosheng did it. Lin Shanchu looked innocent. You cant spout nonsense without evidence. You cant nder him just because Im close to him. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he closed his eyes tightly. I wont let this matter slide just like that. Tell him to be careful. Lin Shanchu rested her chin on her hand and said casually, He thinks the same as you. You Lu Shiyuans wound hurt due to rage. Satisfied, Lin Shanchu triumphantly stood up and said, Im going to film tomorrow, so I have to go back and rest early. She would join the crew of Top Feast tomorrow, a drama that was aired while the filming was in progress. Lin Shanchu walked to the door and was about to reach out and open it. The door was pushed open from the outside, apanied by a delicate voice. President Lu.. Chapter 244 - 244: A Plutocratic Villainess Chapter 244: A Plutocratic Viiness Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Qiao Jiaxi was wearing exquisite makeup and a designer pink dress. If it wasnt for the thermal container in her hand and the fact that she happened to be in the hospital, people would have thought that she was on a date. Lin Shanchu? Qiao Jiaxis smile stiffened. She had been visiting Lu Shiyuan in the hospital for the past few days. It was the first time she had met Lin Shanchu there. It was the first time the two of them had met since they fell out at Lu Corporation. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and looked at Qiao Jiaxi with a faint smile. Youre here to visit Lu Shiyuan. After all, Lin Shanchu was still Lu Shiyuans fiance in name. Qiao Jiaxi felt a little guilty. I happened to be free, so I came over to visit President Lu. Go in quickly. Lin Shanchu smiled gently and even moved to the side to make way for Qiao Jiaxi. Qiao Jiaxi looked at Lin Shanchu with a strange expression and walked in hesitantly. Lin Shanchu walked out and closed the door considerately. However, she did not immediately close the door and leave. Instead, she left the door ajar and listened to the movements inside. President Lu, I made you some soup Qiao Jiaxis pretentious voice came from inside. The sound of cutlery colliding could be heard from inside. Lu Shiyuan must have pushed away the soup that Qiao Jiaxi had handed over to him. Shortly afterwards, Qiao Jiaxis sobbing voice came from inside. President Lu, you have to eat something. Youve lost a lot of weight. It really breaks my heart to see you like this ng! The loud sound of something falling to the ground rang out. The next moment, Lu Shiyuan roared angrily, Get lost! Lin Shanchuughed coldly before she silently closed the door and left. Qiao Jiaxis rank was far lower than Tang Qidais. A pure and unpretentious persona was not something that could be casually faked. It was almost time for the finals of My Stage. As one of the former participants, it was time to go back and cheer for those sisters who were about to enter the finals. The next day, Lin Shanchu joined the crew of Top Feast. Top Feast was a popr drama now. The audience urged for updates on its official Weibo ount every day, and the discussions on rted topics remained trending. Therefore, the crew was very strict with confidentiality. After Lin Shanchu joined the crew, she first handed in her phone and then received the script. She flipped open the script and realized that there were only scenes rted to her character. Lin Shanchu had mixed feelings. One of the reasons why she wanted to film Top Feast was to know the plot in advance. She was not told that the crew would keep it a secret to this extent before she came here. The producer was also at the scene today. He walked around and came to Lin Shanchu. Have you read the script? Lin Shanchu nodded. Just ask them if you have any questions. The producer added, There are many seniors from Xu City Drama Academy in the crew. Alright. Lin Shanchu smiled, looking very obedient. The producer hade to find Lin Shanchu because of his friendship with Nan Mu and partly because he was curious about Lin Shanchu. She was much more beautiful in person than on camera. It was just that she was a little quieter than he had imagined Top Feast could be considered an ensemble cast, and many actors were waiting at the side for their scenes. Lin Shanchu had been caught up in all kinds of trouble recently. Theizens were constantly controversial about her, and the other actors in the industry were more or less curious about her. They huddled together and whispered something as they calmly looked at Lin Shanchu. was until me director asKea me actors ror a renearsal. Lin Shanchu! Mu S is a new character. Your scenes are very important. Good luck! The director immediately told her to act without even asking her how she understood the persona and the script. Lin Shanchu understood that the director wanted to test her ability. The role Lin Shanchu had epted was called Mu S. She was an important character that would appear in Top Feast this week. Before this, her name was only heard from the mouths of other characters who had appeared in the plot. Mu S was the fiance of the second grandson of the protagonists Zhu family in the drama. She was arrogant and despotic because of her familys power and influence. She was truly a plutocratic viiness. In this scene, Mu S returned from abroad. The Zhu family held a grand banquet in the luxurious manor to wee her. Mu Ss notoriety was so widespread that all the servants in the manor were all cautious, fearing that they would offend her. Only the illegitimate daughter, who was favored by the old man, knew nothing about Mu S. The other grandchildren of the old man were trying to use Mu S to intimidate the illegitimate daughter. In the first scene, Mu S got out of the luxurious car and the members of the Zhu family weed her apanied by their servants. S, its been a long journey. Mu S gave a shortugh. Its a little tiring, but Grandpa Zhu has specially organized a banquet to wee me. I cant miss it. She didnt even take off her sunsses, and her voice was filled with impatience. The image of a condescending, plutocratic viiness was immediately apparent. She was so arrogant that one could not wait to p her. The Zhu family members instantly forced their smiles. Apart from the patriarch, Elder Zhu, in the Zhu family, Mu S never take anyone else seriously, including her fianc. Where is Grandpa Zhu? Mu S strode inside as naturally as if she was returning home. Elder Zhu was supported by his illegitimate daughter as he walked over. S! Grandpa Zhu, long time no see. I miss you so much. Mu S gave Grandpa Zhu a hug. Then, she noticed the illegitimate daughter beside Elder Zhu. The illegitimate daughter was wearing a dress that was identical to hers. Mu S took off her sunsses and narrowed her eyes to size up the illegitimate daughter. Grandpa Zhu, is this the servant whom you hired? Elder Zhu understood Mu Sus personality and immediately scolded his illegitimate daughter in a low voice, Go change your clothes. Daddy, Im just wearing the same outfit as hers. Why do you want me to change my clothes The illegitimate daughter was used to being pampered by Elder Zhu, so she definitely would not agree to change her clothes. Not far away, there were servants decorating the banquet venue and cutting flowers. Give me the scissors. Mu S stared intently at the illegitimate daughter. The servants expression changed drastically. Then, she hurriedly took the scissors and handed them to Mus. Since it was a rehearsal now, so it was impossible to hand the real scissors to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu used her own hands to make a scissors gesture, grabbed the illegitimate daughters clothes, and started cutting her clothes with a fierce gaze. At first, the actress who yed the illegitimate daughter almostughed, but she cried before she couldugh. Lin Shanchu got into character. Her gaze was fierce, but her actions were even more ruthless, as if she was really holding a pair of scissors. The illegitimate daughter cried and trembled with fright, but she still recited her lines professionally. Daddy, save me. Boo-hoo The other actors were also shocked by Lin Shanchus sudden change and strong conviction, but they quickly got into character and began to gloat ording to the plot. The director was also a little surprised. The director came to his senses and realized that the scene was over only when the assistant director reminded him.. Chapter 245 - 245: Surprising and Unexpected Chapter 245: Surprising and Unexpected Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Good! Cut! The director immediately stood up and walked over. Everyone performed well. Only then did Lin Shanchu let go of the actress who yed the illegitimate daughter. When the other actors saw this scene, they heaved a sigh of relief. Good job, everyone. The directors gaze swept across the filmset and finallynded on Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu,e with me. Before Lin Shanchu left, she looked up at the actress who yed the illegitimate daughter. Just as she was about to express her apology, the actress who yed the illegitimate daughter started crying. It happened so suddenly that Lin Shanchu was a little confused. Whats wrong with you? Mu S scared me witless just now. Boo-hoo The actress who yed the illegitimate daughter looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. It seemed that she was really frightened because she was snotting from crying. The other actors were amused by her. Lin Shanchu had some impression of this actress. Although she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she was an experienced actress and had acted in many dramas. She had a good reputation and many seniors had praised her. She seemed to be called Zhen or something. Lin Shanchu really could not remember her name, so she said gently, Zhenzhen. Im sorry for scaring you Lin Shanchus gentle appearance dispelled a bit of the fear in Jian Zhens heart. She sniffled and asked Lin Shanchu, How did you know that Im Zhenzhen? Ive watched your dramas. Youre really good at acting, Lin Shanchu said as she looked at Jian Zhen attentively, appearing especially sincere. Jian Zhen was a little embarrassed as she stroked her hair. Sister, your rabbit dance also looked nice Speechless, Lin Shanchu gradually forced a smile. Thank you. Jian Zhen had touched a sore spot with Lin Shanchu. Jian Zhen smiled with her eyes narrowed. Sister, can you take a photo with me after work? Lin Shanchu was slightly startled. Sure She did not expect this girl to be her fan. Then, Lin Shanchu left with the director. After the two of them went to an empty corner, the director pulled out a chair for her in a very friendly manner. Sit. Right after Lin Shanchu sat down, she heard the director say, That child, Jianzhen, is a little timid, but she is not fragile and can endure hardship. You dont have to worry about acting with her. It turned out that her name was Jian Zhen. Im not worried. The director thought for a moment before he continued, When you were cutting the clothes just now Your conviction was quite strong. Director, I have very little acting experience, so Ill need your guidance in the future, Lin Shanchu said calmly. The director put on airs just now. After all, rumor had it that Lin Shanchu was a poser and condescending. However, Lin Shanchu was humble and modest in front of the director, making him very satisfied. The director was grinning from ear to ear. Its true that you dont have many scenes, but for kids who are eager to learn like you, most of them have a good understanding of scripts and roles. As long as you put your heart and soul into it, none of it will be a problem. Yeah. Lin Shanchu nodded obediently. Oh right, there are night scenes tonight. The director asked tentatively. Can you make it? Director, Ill follow your arrangements, Lin Shanchu replied. Can you arrange your schedule? The director knew that a popr young celebrity like Lin Shanchu would usually take advantage of her poprity to take on all kinds of business deals to make money. Lin Shanchu replied, My manager has already arranged everything. He told me to take things slowly, one by one. Alright then! The director was even more satisfied with Lin Shanchus calm personality. Great! The director talked to her for a long time but he did not mention anything about filmingter. Lin Shanchu could only take the initiative to ask, When we start filmingter Just follow your heart and act. You can act however you want. The director said proudly, You dont have to worry about scaring Jian Zhen to tears again Lin Shanchu was a little surprised and touched. However, this feeling onlysted for two seconds because the director immediately said, Anyway, youre quite good at coaxing girls. Didnt you coax her in an instant just now? Lin Shanchu was speechless. Lin Shanchu stayed on set for the entire day. The night scene was filmed at another venue. It was already midnight when they finished filming. There was still onest scene. In this scene, she went to meet a man lying unconscious on the hospital bed. ording to the script, this man was very important to Mu S but his identity was not mentioned. It was also thest episode in this weeks update. The episode ended with a cliffhanger on purpose to add a sense of mystery to the character, Mu S, and to arouse the curiosity of the audience. Lin Shanchu followed the crew and moved to another location. She looked at the increasingly familiar road and asked the staff in confusion, Arent we going to the hospital? The staff replied, You dont have to go to the hospital to film a patient. Shortly afterwards, Lin Shanchu followed the crew into a familiar vi area and saw familiar faces. Miss Lin? Li MO opened the door and let the crew in. Lin Shanchu saw the same confusion on Li MOs face. Lin Shanchu trotted up the director and asked, Who will y the patient? Your friend. The director smiled eloquently. Both Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng were on good terms with her. So, which one of these two would y the patient? Li MO took the crew to Huo Chaoshengs room. Lin Shanchu hade to visit Huo Chaosheng a few days ago. The moment she entered the room, she realized that the room had been decorated into a ward. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Chaosheng lying on the bed and heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt a little disappointed. The stylist even styled Huo Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu sat down by the bed and heaved a sigh of relief. Its you. Are you surprised? Huo Chaosheng could not move around while being styled, so he nced at Lin Shanchu out of the corner of his eye. Lin Shanchu said expressionlessly, Its surprising and unexpected. Huo Chaosheng replied, Youre too hypocritical. Teacher Huo. Yes. As a familiar voice was heard, Lin Shanchu subconsciously followed the voice and looked over. Huo Xunzhou hade over at some point. The director was whispering something to him, whereas he was listening intently while tilting his head slightly. As if he noticed Lin Shanchus gaze, he suddenly raised his head and looked at her. The director noticed Huo Xunzhous gaze. He thought of Huo Xunzhous care for Lin Shanchu and quickly said, Lin Shanchu is quite talented. She was born for this. Huo Xunzhou smiled. This sister of mine is kind. Director, please take good care of her. Of course. The director was quite satisfied with Lin Shanchus performance, so he naturally wanted to care more about her. Huo Chaosheng was born into an idol and had excellent professional skills, but his acting skills were terrible. Fortunately, he just had to y dead and act like an unconscious patient. Therefore, the scene was filmed in one take. After work, the crew left first, leaving Lin Shanchu in Huo Chaoshengs ward. Why did you suddenly take on this role? Huo Chaosheng said innocently, Third Brother epted this role on my behalf.. Chapter 246 - 246: Everyone, Don ‘t Pity Her! Chapter 246: Everyone, Don t Pity Her! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu frowned slightly as her eyes were filled with surprise. Huo Chaosheng thought she did not believe him. Really, if you dont believe me, you can ask Third Brother directly. Why did he help you ept this role? It was true that Huo Chaosheng did not have to lie about such a matter. Hes probably afraid Id be bored. Huo Chaosheng nced at his leg that had been wrapped like a dumpling. You know Third Brother has always been concerned about me. Oh Lin Shanchu dragged her voice to hide her sympathy for Huo Chaosheng. Huo Xunzhou had some brotherly love for Huo Chaosheng, but no matter how she looked at it, he did not seem to care so much about him. Huo Chaosheng suddenly smiled mysteriously. But now I know why Third Brother epted this role on my behalf. Why? Because youve also epted this role. When Lin Shanchu heard those words, her heart skipped a beat for no reason. Is that so? He thought I liked you, so he created an opportunity for me to meet you. Huo Chaosheng thought that he hadpletely seen through Huo Xunzhous intention. Lin Shanchu forced augh. I see. He was really hopeless. She stood up as she said, Its gettingte. Ill be leaving now. Huo Chaosheng craned his neck and asked, When will youe to see me again? Ille whenever I have time. When are you free? Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Chaosheng craning his neck with a look of eagerness. After two seconds of silence, she said, In a few days. Huo Chaosheng rubbed his hands with an expectant look on his face. Then bring me some sashimi from the restaurant we went that day. Just you wait. Lin Shanchu grimaced. When Lin Shanchu went downstairs, Huo Xunzhou was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She realized that the furniture and decorations in Huo Xunzhous house had be more luxurious. He had probably rearranged these things after Huo Chaosheng moved in. Huo Xunzhou looked up at this moment. Lin Shanchu was caught off guard and met his gaze. She said awkwardly, Im leaving, In any case, Huo Xunzhou was the host, so it was basic courtesy to greet the host before leaving. Huo Xunzhou stared at her for a moment before suddenly curling his lip. Arent you going to ask me why I epted this role on behalf of Chaosheng? Almost immediately, Lin Shanchu said, Im not interested, and I dont want to know! She spoke so quickly that it was as if she waspeting to be the first to answer the question. Lin Shanchu also felt that she had overreacted, so she tried to exin, Im very busy. I dont have time to care about other peoples affairs. Oh. Huo Xunzhou looked at her casually. Lin Shanchu felt ufortable under his gaze and was about to leave. Huo Xunzhous voice came from behind. Ill get Li MO to take you home. Brother Qi is waiting for me outside. Lin Shanchu did not even turn her head and walked even faster. Huo Xunzhou watched her leave and smiled. Shanshans temper is getting worse. How adorable. For the next few days, Lin Shanchu practically lived in the set of Top Feast. She and Jian Zhen, who yed the illegitimate daughter, had many scenes together. Jian Zhen was gradually became familiar with Lin Shanchu and no longer cried like she did on the first day, but she still had lingering fears after every film shoot. After the filming of the new scenes for this week waspleted, they worked overtime to start editing. New episodes of Top Feast would be updated every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They were short of time with heavy tasks. Soon, it was Friday. In the afternoon, a trailer was released on the tform and the dramas official Weibo page. [A new character will be unlocked tonight. Miss Mu S, whom everyone has been talking about, will finally appear.] The editing crew of Top Feast was skilled. The trailer they edited was exciting without revealing the plot. The audiencemented: [F*ck, who yed Mu S? She looks so familiar and beautiful!] [Why do I feel like shes Lin Shanchu?] [Mu S is so arrogant and charismatic. Did the director find a daughter from a rich family to y this role?] [Isnt this Lin Shanchu?] [Why did Lin Shanchu suddenly get back into acting? I didnt catch wind of the news at all.] Lin Shanchus fans: [Huh? She really looks like my idol.] [No wonder there hasnt been any news about her in the past few days, so she has gotten back into acting.] [Sister got back into acting, and were thest to know [Smiling face with tear]] [The non-fans have made our idol trending. We cant keep up with them even with our resources] The anti-fansmented: [Lin Shanchu has been cast in the role of Mu S? The director of Top Feast is one of the few pure-hearted people in the industry. Now, hes actually going to bow down for the sake of poprity?] [Exactly. What kind of acting skills does Lin Shanchu have?] [The editors are amazing. They made Lin Shanchu look like she has great acting skills in the trailer.] [I want to see how good Lin Shanchus acting is! Screw her!] New episode of Top Feast was released at 8:00 p.m sharp. As expected, the hashtag #LinShanchuActingSkills was trending. The audiencemented: [Now, I understand why Lin Shanchus fans united to eliminate Lin Shanchu from My Stage.] [Those who hail from a professional background are different. I had goosebumps when Mu S cut the illegitimate daughters dress.] [What Lin Shanchu fans youre talking about? Thats a group of Bodhisattvas, alright? Shes simply a blessing to the public! I hope that Mu S will have more roles. There are too few young artists in the entertainment industry with good looks and acting skills! Too few of them!] Lin Shanchus fansmented: [What we wanted to say has already been said by the non-fans.] [Sister, you can do it!] Anti-fansmented: [Lin Shanchu is so rich for hiring so many Inte trolls to brag about her acting skills.] Following that, the official Weibo ount released the footage of Jianzhen crying in fear of Lin Shanchu during the rehearsal. The audience who yearned for more rushed to the venue en masse. [Sister Zhenzhen was crying so pitifully, but I really want tough.] [Lin Shanchu has some talent in acting.] [Sister, save your tears. I heard that this drama will be filmed for dozens of episodes. You still have a lot of scenes with Sister Rabbit. Hahahahaha.] Jian Zhen replied with her main ount [Although I cried, I got a hug and a pat from a beautiful sister [shy.jpg]] Theizens replied: [Everyone, dont pity her!] [Are we clowns?] [Thank you, a new ship sets sail.] [Yun Wu: Do you think Im no good?] [Isnt the finals of My Stageing up soon?] [The finals will be on the day after tomorrow.] After Qi Cheng received the real-time viewership ratings for Top Banquet tonight, he drove straight to Lin Shanchu. The real-time viewership ratings for Top ss Feast hit a new high tonight. Lin Shanchu replied, Wouldnt the viewership ratings be even higher the day after tomorrow? Qi Cheng asked, Why? Because Huo Chaosheng will be appear in the episode the day after tomorrow. Huo Chaosheng was so popr, so the viewership ratings would definitely hit a new high when the time came. Qi Cheng smiled. Thats not necessarily the case. Lin Shanchu said, Brother Qi, youre a little too arrogant now. Youll be ndered if others find out that youve made such a remark.. Chapter 247 - 247: Lure Him Over Chapter 247: Lure Him Over Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Im not being arrogant. Im telling the truth. The reason why tonights real-time viewership ratings hit a new high is because of your participation. Qi Cheng showed Lin Shanchu the real- time viewership ratings. Lin Shanchu nced at him and said nonchntly, Thats because tonights plot is more interesting. Qi Cheng said seriously, The character Mu S is more discussed than the other characters. Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds before she said softly, Im quite amazing then. Qi Cheng was amused by her. Im here today to tell you something else. Lin Shanchu looked up at him. The debut night of My Stage will be on the night after tomorrow. Thepany has arranged for you to go to the venue to support the show. You have to go to the scene in advance. Alright. She would be able to meet Xia Jinmeng in advance. The entire debut night of My Stage was broadcast live. The programs live broadcast room opened in the afternoon. The program team bought the topic with the hashtag #LinShanChuReturnedToMyStageToSupportHerSisters. Therefore, endless audience entered the live broadcast room since the afternoon. Most of them were here for Lin Shanchu. Shanshan! Yun Wu pounced on Lin Shanchu as soon as she saw her. She almost caught Lin Shanchu. Her physical fitness had be worse probably because she no longer had to practice dancing every day after leaving the training camp. After Lin Shanchu steadied herself, she carefully sized Yun Wu up. Then, she clicked her tongue and said, Yun Wu, you really havent lost any weight at all. Everyone was working hard for the finals and had lost a lot of weight. Not only had Yun Wu not lost weight, but she even looked a little sturdier than when she first arrived. Yun Wu said happily, The production team gave us extra meal at night. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She even suspected that Yun Wu had joined the show just for the food in the cafeteria. Bulletments: [LinYun ship is still the best.] [Let me be unfaithful for a while. I want to abandon ChuZhen ship for the time being!] [Why isnt it called JianLin ship? Wouldnt it sound better?] [Is Sister Lin not cool enough? Sister Lin must be the one on top. Of course, her name should be in front of the ship pairing] The other trainees also came over to greet Lin Shanchu. Qi Cheng had prepared desserts for Lin Shanchu in advance as a visiting gift for the trainees. It had been a long time since everyone had had dessert, so they were all delighted. An Youyun took two bites and stopped eating. Sister, Im a little sleepy. Ill go and rest first. Lin Shanchu smiled gently. Good luck. Lin Shanchu looked around and asked Yun Wu, Why dont I see Xia Jinmeng? Yun Wu whispered, Xia Jinmeng and An Youyun dont get along. They even had a big fight in the dormitory previously. Now, An Youyun will be present without Xia Jinmeng, and Xia Jinmeng will be present without An Youyun. I see. Lin Shanchu chuckled, If the two of them form a group, then there will be a lot of trouble in the future. Yun Wu shrugged. Xia Jinmengspany seems to have a freewheeling attitude towards her. An Youyunspany values her a lot. Xia Jinmeng cant beat An Youyun. Although Yun Wu looked like she only thought about eating, she knew everything else. Yun Wu gestured for Lin Shanchu to look towards the door. Xia Jinmeng is here. As soon as Xia Jinmeng entered the room, she looked around as if she was looking for someone. Finally, she lowered her eyes and walked over after spotting Lin Shanchu. Long time no see. Her tone was neither cold nor warm, and there was no hostility. Lin Shanchu replied with an indifferent smile, as if she did not like Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng frowned slightly and left after showing her face. After finishing the walkthrough, Lin Shanchu left the live broadcast room. She found Xia Jinmeng at the usual ce. The so-called usual ce was the balcony where Xia Jinmeng had tried to push her down the stairs and break her leg. What did you mean just now? Xia Jinmeng questioned her angrily. Paving the way for you. Lin Shanchu said slowly, Its easier for you to get close to Lu Shiyuan if we dont get along. I heard that something happened to Tang Qidai, right? Xia Jinmengs expression softened. Lin Shanchu said casually, Yeah, Tang Qidai has left the industry, and Qiao Jiaxi is trying to find a way to rise to the top. You did it? Xia Jinmengs expression changed slightly. Tang Qidai chose her own path andmitted her own sins. What has it got to do with me? Lin Shanchus tone waszy and her smiling eyes looked innocent. Xia Jinmeng had aplicated look on her face. Lin Shanchu slowly took out a hairbow from her bag and ordered Xia Jinmeng, Turn around. What are you doing? Although Xia Jinmeng was puzzled, she still turned around obediently. Its something that can help you out. The first gift Lu Shiyuan gave her was a hairbow. Her phone rang right after she put it on Xia Jinmeng. It was a call was from Qi Cheng. Before Lin Shanchu could say anything, she heard Qi Cheng say in a serious tone, Lu Shiyuan is here too. To her surprise, he managed to leave the hospital with such injuries. The male lead was indeed different. Lin Shanchu sneered as she asked, Where is he? Qi Cheng replied, He is at the main hall. Lin Shanchu said thoughtfully, Lure him over. After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu raised her eyes and stared at Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng touched the hairbow on her head and said disdainfully, What the hell did you put on me? As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shanchu raised her hand and pped Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng gritted her teeth in pain and immediately scolded, Are you f*cking crazy?! Lin Shanchu frowned slightly. Wrong. What? Xia Jinmeng asked. Lin Shanchu walked closer to her and whispered, When youre hit, you cant show such a hateful, vicious, and defiant look. You have to look stubborn, forbearing, weak and helpless without resentment. Understand? Xia Jinmeng was stunned for a moment before she realized that Lin Shanchu was teaching her to pretend to be someone Lu Shiyuan liked. Xia Jinmeng snorted and was about to leave. Tang Qidai is done for now. Why should I seduce Lu Shiyuan? Im not ying with you anymore! Lin Shanchu looked at her calmly, Tang Qidai is done for, but An Youyun is still around, isnt she? Xia Jinmengs expression changed slightly, whereas Lin Shanchu revealed a satisfied smile. Once a person had a wrong idea in her mind, it would be difficult to get back on the right track. Lin Shanchu did not urge her and said slowly, Do you hear footsteps? Theyre here. Xia Jinmeng put down her leg that had been lifted. The footsteps were getting closer. Lin Shanchu raised her hand and pped Xia Jinmeng on the other side of her face. Then, she asked sinisterly, Dont you know who you are? How dare you provoke me like this? Xia Jinmeng covered her face that had been hit and looked a little embarrassed. Compared to before, her voice and gaze were restrained. Everyone is born equal.. You think youre superior, but youre just using your power to bully others! I still look down on you! Chapter 248 - 248: Slap Someone, Hit Someone’s Wound, Good Person and Good Deeds Chapter 248: p Someone, Hit Someones Wound, Good Person and Good Deeds Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchuughed. It was augh from the bottom of her heart. Xia Jinmeng had put in some effort. She even said say such righteous words. If circumstances permitted, she really wanted to apud Xia Jinmeng. What right do you have to look down on me? Lin Shanchu raised her hand again as she said, Ill show you if Im superior! Stop! This time, Lin Shanchus raised arm was intercepted mid-air. She turned around and saw that person who intercepted her was none other than Lu Shiyuan. Zhou Yan was behind him, and Qi Cheng was behind them with a shocked look on his face. Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shanchu with disgust, Lin Shanchu, why are you so arrogant now? Lin Shanchu shook his hand off. Whatever I do is none of your business! She turned around and looked at Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng, believe it or not, Ill make sure you cant form a group. Lu Shiyuan then turned to look at Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng bit her lip with a look of forbearance and grievance, but she said firmly, Im not afraid of you! After saying that, she ran away without looking back. She did not look at Lu Shiyuan from the beginning to the end. This was the first time Lu Shiyuan had seen a woman ignoring him. His gaze involuntarily followed Xia Jinmeng. A hairbow was pinned on top of her hair, swaying gently with her ck hair. Her back was slender and graceful, ovepping with the back of a certain girl in his memory. Lu Shiyuan was mesmerized for a moment. Lin Shanchu saw Lu Shiyuans reaction and warned, Xia Jinmeng has been an eyesore to me for a long time. Dont get in my way. I almost dont recognize you anymore! Lu Shiyuan had always been prejudiced against Lin Shanchu. Compared to the pure and unpretentious Xia Jinmeng, he felt that she was extremely vicious. Tch! Lin Shanchu pushed Lu Shiyuan away and strode away with a disdainful look. She deliberately bumped into Lu Shiyuans injured spot. Lu Shiyuan was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. President Lu! Zhou Yan immediately went forward with concern. Although Qi Cheng did not understand the situation, he left with Lin Shanchu without asking any question. After he confirmed that Lu Shiyuan and the rest did not follow them, he asked Lin Shanchu softly, What were you doing just now? Lin Shanchu smiled mysteriously. Be a good person and did good deeds. Qi Cheng was lost in thought. Were pping someone and hitting someones wound considered good deeds? Lets go find President Nan. Lin Shanchu was in a good mood with light-footed steps. Qi Cheng asked in fear. Xia Jinmeng wont expose you, will she? Lin Shanchu replied, No. Qi Cheng felt a little relieved. Lin Shanchu continued, So what if its exposed? Its not like I have a f*cking gentle and kind persona. Qi Cheng thought of the previous interview. Youre right. But soon, he realized that he had been led astray by Lin Shanchu. Qi Cheng corrected her righteously. Anyway, its wrong to hit someone! Yeah, youre right. It was like this every time. Her actions contradicted the promises she made. He felt numb. Since he could not control the artist, he might as well let her do whatever she wanted. The two of them had reached Nan Mus office. When Lin Shanchu knocked on the door and entered the office, Nan Mu was on the phone. Nan Mu casually said a few words before hanging up the phone. Whats the matter? Lu Shiyuan wille to youter, Lin Shanchu said gently. Remember to extort him. Why will hee to me? Nan Mu was puzzled. Lin Shanchu said the keywvord, Xia Jinmeng. Nan Mu asked, What? Lin Shanchu said, Ill leave now. Aftering out of Nan Mus office, Qi Cheng was the first to notice Lu Shiyuan and Zhou Yan. Qi Cheng reminded her, Over there. As expected, they are here. Lin Shanchu gave Lu Yuan a provocative smile and left with Qi Cheng. Lu Shiyuan looked in the direction she left and said in disappointment, Shes no longer the kind Lin Shanchu I knew. Zhou Yan agreed with Lu Shiyuans words. President Lu, do you intend to meddle in Xia Jinmengs affairs? As the image of Xia Jinmeng running away shed across Lu Shiyuans mind, he walked towards Nan Mus office. Nan Mu was still wondering what Lin Shanchu meant when he heard a knock on the door. Had Lu Shiyuan reallye to look for him? Come in. The door was pushed open and Lu Shiyuan walked in with Zhou Yan. Nan Mu was excited, but his face looked calm. President Lu, whats the matter? Although he did not know what was going on, he was overjoyed when he thought that he could extort Lu Shiyuan again. Lu Shiyuan opened his mouth, There may be some unhappy past between us, but when we do business, interests alwayse first. What do you think, President Nan? Of course. No way! He was more or less a businessman with a conscience. Lu Shiyuan continued, Although Lin Shanchu can make money for yourpany, the benefits she can bring to yourpany are limited after all. Indeed. No way! This ignorant brat, Lu Shiyuan, could not imagine the benefits brought by the attention grabber! Lu Shiyuan was very satisfied with Nan Mus answer. Therefore, he got to the point. I want Xia Jinmeng to debut smoothly. Nan Mu roughly guessed what had happened after connecting the dots. Pretending to be in a dilemma, he said, Lin Shanchu is now the cash cow of Tianzhou Media. Im afraid the price of offending her is a bit high. Lu Shiyuan smiled. Youre still attracting investment for yourpanys new project, arent you? Nan Mu smiled and shook his head. Im not attracting investment, but Im soliciting sponsorships. Investments were divisible, but it was not necessarily the case for sponsorships. He would never give this brat a chance to earn money. The smile on Lu Shiyuans face faded. Ill sponsor you then. Nan Mu smiled and said, The new project is low-cost. 10 million yuan is enough. In addition, please give our Ji Yuan a few better resources. 10 million yuan was not a lot of money for Lu Shiyuan, but it hurt to fork out the money. Ji Yuan had trampled on Fu Pei to get to the top. Now, Nan Mu was deliberately touching a sore spot with Lu Shiyuan by asking him to give resources to Ji Yuan. Zhou Yan could not bear to listen to it any longer and said, President Nan, youve gone overboard. Isnt this a negotiation? Besides, Im negotating with President Lu, and what does it have to do with you? Nan Mu looked at Lu Shiyuan with a faint smile. Besides, President Lu has the ability to weigh the pros and cons. He knows whether this deal can be struck or not. Lu Shiyuan lost the upper hand from the moment he came to find Nan Mu. Nan Mu words were undoubtedly an impossible challenge, not giving him a way out. For the sake of dignity, he had no choice but to strike the deal. Deal, Lu Shiyuan said in a deep voice. 10 million yuan, plus a few resources. The price was a little great. However, it was worth it for Lin Shanchu to suffer a setback. Ill get someone draft the contract now. Nan Mu picked up his phone and called the legal department. After drafting the contract and signing it, Nan Mu saw Lu Shiyuan off enthusiastically. Before leaving, Nan Mu asked Lu Shiyuan considerately, President Lu, what ce do you want Xia Jinmeng to get? Chapter 249 - 249: I’ve Been Petty For A Long Time, And You Know That Chapter 249: Ive Been Petty For A Long Time, And You Know That Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Nan Mu was so solicitous that Lu Shiyuan felt like he had struck a bad deal. However, he quickly suppressed this strange feeling. He felt at ease when he thought that Lin Shanchu would be exasperated after seeing Xia Jinmeng sucessfully forming a groupter. Just a normal rank will do. Okay, take care, President Lu. Nan Mu watched Lu Shiyuan leave. After the door closed, he picked up the contract and kissed it hard. Thank you for natures gift! He thought about it and felt that something was wrong. No, thanks Shanshan for the gift. Hehe. Nan Mu put the contract away and took out his phone to call Huo Xunzhou. Are you here yet? Ive arrived. Huo Xunzhou could hear the excitement in Nan Mus voice. What happened? Lu Shiyuan sponsored ten million yuan for our new project. Hahahahaha Nan Muughed arrogantly and loudly. Do I need that bit of money from him? Huo Xunzhou snorted. Nan Mu helplessly said, Shanshan asked me to extort a sum of money from him. Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a while. Why didnt you ask for more money? Speechless, Nan Mu thought this man was so self-righteous despite having double standards! Nan Mu sighed as he replied, I was afraid that if he wouldnt agree if I asked for more money. Wouldnt it be a huge loss for me? Oh, Huo Xunzhou said coldly. The program recording began. Lu Shivuan sat on the left of Lin Shanchu and there was an empty seat on her right. When the camera panned over, the screen showed the two of them looking at the stage expressionlessly. Bulletments: [Lu and Lin have perfectly interpreted what it meant to be same bed, different dreams.] [Is there a possibility that this phrase is called strange bedfellows?] [Do you think they lookpatible?] [ROFL. Lin Shanchu doesnt even bother to put on a facade anymore. Hahahahaha] [So, Mu S is Lin Shanchus true self.] [Arrogant Sister, you are the best!] The camera only swept past Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan. After the camera moved away, someone finally came to the seat next to Lin Shanchu. The dull sound of wheels rolling on the ground could be heard. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhous indifferent expression. Tianzhou Media was originally the organizer of My Stage. As the behind-the-scenes boss, it was normal for Huo Xunzhou to watch the finals. What was unusual was that Huo Xunzhou had arranged a seat next to her again. She said that he pestered her, but he was really doing it all the time. What a coincidence, Huo Xunzhou said it was a coincidence, but there was no surprise in his tone. There was a row of people from the industry sitting behind them, so Lin Shanchu could not pretend that she did not hear Huo Xunzhous words in front of so many people. Yes, it is. Lin Shanchu looked around and asked naturally, Why didnt Huo Chaoshenge? The words Huo Chaosheng triggered Lu Shiyuan. He nced at Lin Shanchu coldly, The match is about to start. Keep quiet. Huo Xunzhou said, As you know, he broke his leg a few days ago, so its inconvenient for him to go out. Lin Shanchu replied, Youre right. The two of them chatted as if no one was around and they did not hear Lu Shiyuan at all. Lu Shiyuan was furious, but he could not just snap. He clenched his fists and waited until Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou finished talking. It did not matter because Lin Shanchu would lose her smugness soon. Everyone performed well on the stage for the finals. Lin Shanchu had participated in so many seasons in the past, but this was her first time watching the show off the stage as an audience. She watched the finals more enthusiastically and apuded louder than anyone else. The director was still the same as before. He habitually cut the camera to Lin Shanchu, the attention grabber. It was already 11:00 p.m. when the show on-stage ended. There was only time left to make the final push for the voting. The had not been much changes for the top three. Yun Wu was far ahead in the number of votes, and it was cast in stone that she would debut in the center position. Xia Jinmeng, who came in second ce, was far behind Yun Wu in votes. An Youyun took the third ce. Lin Shanchus old acquaintancesWen Tongtong and Ran Zhimotook the tourtn and tittn ce. Ran Zhimo had the ability and her ranking was not bad from the start, so it was not strange for her to enter the top five. Wen Tongtong had been eliminated in the first season, but unexpectedly, she had also made it into the top five. It was truly against the odds. The emcee cued Lin Shanchu on-stage. Lin Shanchu, in this final moment, do you have anything to say to the sisters who fought alongside you? Lin Shanchu took the microphone and looked at the stage before she said sincerely, You guys are already very amazing for being able to make it this far. At least, youre more amazing than me. In the bullet screen, the non-fans who were watching the drama unfoldmented: [Hahahaha! Lin Shanchus fans, do you have a guilty conscience?] Lin Shanchus fans: Lin Shanchus fans were once again were struck with a pang of conscience. They felt that they had to do something to redeem themselves. Hence, they collectively voted for Yun Wu. However, Yun Wus debut was confirmed and she did not care about their trivial votes. Hence, they set their sights on Lin Shanchus former teammates. Both Wen Tongtong and Ran Zhimo used to be teammates of Lin Shanchu. After that, they voted for the two of them ording to their preferences. Ten minutes before the voting channel was about to close, the trainees did not dare to look back. Lin Shanchu looked at Wen Tongtong and Ran Zhimos rising votes. Then, she couldnt help but ask Huo Xunzhou softly, Did you guys involve in vote rigging? She thought that Huo Xunzhou was very upright, but she did not expect him to y such a trick. Lin Shanchu almost had the words I didnt expect you to be this kind of person written all over her face. Huo Xunzhous face looked tense and his eyes were locked on her face. He did not say a word, exuding a cold aura. Lin Shanchu felt guilty under his gaze and blinked. If you didnt do it, so be it. Why are you so fierce? Your fans know best why the situation has be like this. When Lin Shanchus fans voted for Wen Tongtong and Ran Zhimo, Huo Xunzhou received the news immediately. What did my fans do? Lin Shanchu looked confused. Huo Xunzhou threw his phone at her. Lin Shanchu took it and saw the message that Nan Mu had sent him ten minutes ago: [Lin Shanchus fans are really amazing, hahahaha. Look at what theyve done. An Youyun has been pushed to the fourth ce, hahahaha] Lin Shanchu was speechless. Her fans were really amazing. Lin Shanchu silently returned the phone to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou did not ept it and looked a little angry. It was unknown if he was angry that she had misunderstood him or that her fans had done something good. Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and quickly apologized to him, Im sorry. Are you that insincere? Huo Xunzhou snorted. Lin Shanchu red at him, Whats the big deal? Cant you be more magnanimous? Lin Shanchu was speechless. He still remembered how she had called him petty. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to speak, she heardughter behind her. Pfft! Upon hearing theughter, Lin Shanchu turned around and saw a well-dressed man smiling at her and Huo Xunzhou.. Chapter 250 - 250: Do You Think He’s Good-for-nothing But Handsome and Rich Like Me? Chapter 250: Do You Think Hes Good-for-nothing But Handsome and Rich Like Me? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The man looked to be no more than thirty years old and he was meticulously groomed from his hair to the business shirt he was wearing. He looked rigorous and steady, exuding a reliable and convincing aura. Whether it was his attire or his temperament, he did not look like someone from the entertainment industry. It did not seem like he was here just to watch the performance. Instead, he looked like he was here for a meeting. However, he was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands. They were Yun Wus favorite sunflowers. Lin Shanchu was busy sizing up the man and did not notice that Huo Xunzhou was making eye contact with the man. Im sorry, I couldnt helpughing when I suddenly remembered that Ive watched a video of a primary school students quarreling. Did I disturb you two? The mans voice was gentle. Judging from his demeanor and mannerisms, he looked like a cultured person. However, Lin Shanchu thought that his words sounded a little strange. It was because he did not look like someone who would watch videos of primary school students quarreling. The vote counting had ended. The emcee on the stage had begun to announce the votes of each trainee. Lin Shanchu frowned and shook her head. Its fine. She turned around and looked towards the stage. Then, she turned to look at Huo Xunzhou as if she had thought of something. Huo Xunzhou was staring at the stage. His charming eyes looked indifferent and focused. Charming eyes Lin Shanchu abruptly turned around and looked at the man who was carrying the bouquet of sunflowers behind her. Coincidentally, the man was also looking at her. Noticing that she had turned around, the man gave her a friendly smile and pointed at the stage. When he smiled, his dimples became more obvious and looked very good. He had the same charming eyes as Huo Xunzhou. Yun Wu also had charming eyes. What a coincidence. When the emcee announced Xia Jinmenging in second ce, Lu Shiyuan turned to look at Lin Shanchu. I think the second ce is well-deserved. What do you think? Indeed, shes quite skilled. Lin Shanchu smiled. Xia Jinmeng had really attracted Lu Shiyuans attention. It was indeed her skill. Lu Shiyuan thought that Lin Shanchu would ignore him out of rage, but he did not expect her to smile and talk to him. He thought that Lin Shanchu was forcing a smile. Lu Shiyuan felt even more pleased. To know oneself is true progress. One should know their ce and limits. He was hinting that she did not know her ce and limits. At times like this, Lin Shanchu could clearly feel that she had a bit of female lead aura on her. Yes, figuring out the situation on ones own is more important than anything else. Its good that you know. Lu Shiyuan snorted coldly. At this moment, the voice of the emcee came from the stage. Next, lets invite Mr. Huo Xunzhou, the organizer representative of this show, to present the group badge to the members. Nan Mu walked over from nowhere. He winked at Lin Shanchu with his back facing the camera and pushed Huo Xunzhou onto the stage. The smug expression on Lu Shiyuans face froze before he had time to restrain himself. The so-called organizer representative was naturally the person in charge of the organizerspany. Nan Mu was supposed to go on stage. Huo Xunzhou went up the stage instead. It meant that the real boss of Tianzhou Media was Huo Xunzhou! Lu Shiyuan watched in disbelief as Huo Xunzhou was pushed onto the stage. On the day of the g, he had guessed that something was wrong with the Tianzhou Media. However, he had encountered a car ident right after he left the g. Zhou Yan had been busy helping him investigate the hit-and-run driver and could not spare time to look into Tianzhou Media. Lu Shiyuan was so angry that the wound in his chest started to ache again when he thought of the 100 million yuan he had sponsored before, the 10 million yuan he had sponsored Nan Mu and the resources he had given up before the live broadcast started. He gritted his teeth as he enunciated his name. Huo! Xun! Zhou! Lu Shiyuan thought of something and turned to look at Lin Shanchu. He realized that although she was frowning slightly, there was no surprise on her face. Lu Shiyuan lowered his voice and questioned her, You knew about it, didnt you? What do I know? Lin Shanchu asked innocently. Not denying it was equivalent to admitting it. Lu Shiyuan immediately stood up in rage and left the scene. At this moment, she heard the man behind her ask her in a low voice, Miss Lin, why did Mr. Lu leave? Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and smiled decently. He hasnt recovered from his injury, and hes hot-tempered. Hes going out to get some fresh air. Mr. Yun, dont worry about him. You know me? The man was taken aback. Lin Shanchu nced at the sunflowers in his hand. Those are Yun Wus favorite flowers. The man looked down at the flowers in his hand and said in a gentler tone, Im Yu Wus elder brother, Yun Yi. No wonder Yun Wu always mentioned her elder brothers. She could tell that her elder brothers loved her very much. Lin Shanchu was the only child in the family, so she did not know what it felt like to have an elder brother. Yun Yi asked Lin Shanchu, Did Yun Wu ever mention us to you? Yun Wus elder brother doted on her and had been following the show for a long time. He knew about the friendship between Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu. He did not look like a talkative person, but he looked like he wanted to chat with her. It was human nature to be coaxed instead of being subjected to forceful means. Yun Yis tone was too friendly. Even though Lin Shanchu did not really want to talk to him, she decided to go through the motions since he was Yun Wus elder brother. She did. What did she say about us? She said that her elder brothers were rich and handsome. I dont think thats the original statement. Yun Yiughed. Lin Shanchu looked up at him in surprise. Yun Yi looked serious as he continued, Other than being handsome and rich, they are good-for-nothing. Thats what Yun Wu said, right? Lin Shanchu was speechless. It was really verbatim. Immediately afterwards, Yun Yi asked, Xunzhou is also Yun Wus elder brother. Do you think hes good-for-nothing but handsome and rich like me? He chatted with her for a long time and finally brought up Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu realized that Yun Yi was testing her rtionship with Huo Xunzhou. Im not familiar with him. Lin Shanchu grimaced. Miss Lin? Yun Yi called her from behind. Lin Shanchu pretended not to hear him. She straightened her back and sat upright as she stared intently at the stage. The group Glimmer Girls is officially formed! The stage was filled with fireworks and colored ribbons. This three-month-long talent show ended amidst the hustle and bustle before the end of summer. For the entire night, the topics rted to the trainees of My Stage became trending one after another, suppressing the trending topics of Top Feast. Wen Tongtong, who went against all odds, even made it to the top three on the trending search list. It was already midnight when the recording ended. The entire program team was so busy that they did not even have time to eat dinner, so Nan Mu invited them for supper. After informing the program team, he looked around and asked, Why dont I see Shanshan? She left a long time ago, Director Song Yiming replied. She didnt go backstage to meet Yun Wu? Nan Mu was stunned for a moment. She didnt. She left as soon as the live broadcast stopped. The director was a little puzzled as he continued, Shes in such a good rtionship with Yun Wu. Logically speaking, she shouldve gone backstage to congratte her in person Maybe she needs to take care of something urgent.. Chapter 251 - 251: She Braved The Most Severe Trial on Her Own Chapter 251: She Braved The Most Severe Trial on Her Own Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Nan Mu still thought that Song Yimings reason was a little far-fetched. How urgent is it? To the point that she doesnt even have time to say congrattions? Then you have to ask Lin Shanchu herself. You should go get busy. Nan Mu decided to ask Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was talking to Yun Wu backstage while Yun Yi was sitting beside him. When Nan Mu entered the dressing room, he saw Yun Wu craning her neck and looking toward the door. Yun Wu looked disappointed when she saw Nan Mu came in. Wheres Shanshan? She left first due to an emergency. Nan Mu immediately changed the topic after saying that. Congrattions. Thank you. Yun Wu forced a smile. Nan Mu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. Pack up and lets go grab something to eat. Yun Wu carried the the bouquet of flowers and walked out. Yun Yi pushed Huo Xunzhou from behind. As they walked, Huo Xunzhou suddenly called out, Big brother. Whats wrong? Yun Yi leaned over to listen to him. What did you say to her? When he was on stage, he saw Yun Yi and Lin Shanchu talking, but she ignored him afterwards. Yun Yi nced at Yun Wu and lowered his voice. Nothing much. Shes good friends with Yun Wu, so I just chatted with her and thanked her for taking care of Yun Wii. Really? Huo Xunzhou asked casually. Lin Shanchu would not have reacted that way if that was what he had said. Yun Yi sighed. Xunzhou, do you know that you sound even more annoying than that brat Yun Jin when you use that tone? Huo Xunzhou curled his lip expressionlessly. Yun Yi continued, I was just testing your rtionship with her. She said that she wasnt familiar with you and then ignored me. Huo Xunzhous face darkened. He was obviously unhappy. Youre the one who insisted that I say it. Yun Yis tone carried a hint of schadenfreude. Huo Xunzhou pushed Yun Yi away and drove his electric wheelchair forward. Third Brother? Yun Wu called out with a puzzled expression. Huo Xunzhou ignored everyone and headed straight for the door. Big brother, why did you provoke Third Brother? Yun Wu turned to Yun Yi. Yun Yi smiled and shook his head before he said mysteriously, Im not the one who made him angry. Yun Wu was perplexed. It was so quiet inside the car that one could hear a pin drop. Qi Cheng winked at He Xiang through the rearview mirror. After pondering for a while, He Xiang asked, Sister Lin, wouldnt it be inappropriate for us to leave without saying a word? Lin Shanchu turned to look out of the window without even turning her head. Or what? Do you want to stay there for supper? He Xiang could vaguely sense that Lin Shanchu was not in a good mood. However, wasnt she fine at the show just now? As Lin Shanchu looked out the window at the streetscape moving backwards continously, she muttered, Anyvvay, we have to go home after the fun ends. Everyone is going in different directions. What difference does it make if we greet each other or not? Lin Shanchus voice was very soft, so He Xiang only heard thetter half of her words. She could hear the sadness in Lin Shanchus tone, but she did not understand Lin Shanchus incoherent words. He Xiang looked up at Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng shook his head at her through the rearview mirror, indicating that they should just leave her alone. It was already after midnight when they reached home. Lin Shanchu had set her phone to silent mode during the show earlier. When she looked at her phone now, she realized that there were many unread WeChat messages. Thetest message was from Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou: [Well hold a celebration dinner at Yong Shui Pavilion at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow.] Yun Wu: [Shanshan, why did you suddenly leave? Did something happen?] Huo Chaosheng: [Was it fun on-site? Did Third Brother gave you a hard time?] Wen Huan: [Can you reveal the spoiler for the next weeks plot of Top Feast? [Good sisters.jpg]] Wen Huan was a loyal audience of Top Feast. In order to ask her for a spoiler, he even sent out this kind of emoticon. Lin Shanchu replied to Wen Huan: [Ive signed an agreement. Spoilers are prohibited.] Then, she replied to Huo Chaosheng: [Its fun.] When she scrolled to the top and saw the messages from Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu, she hesitated for a while before replying to the two of them. She replied to Huo Xunzhou: [Okay.] She replied to Yun Wu: [Im fine. Congrattions.] Yun Wu replied instantly: [Its good that youre fine. See you at the celebration dinner tomorrow night!] Lin Shanchu was lost in thought as she looked at the message Yun Wu sent. Yun Wu quickly sent another message: [Good night. Sleep early.] When Lin Shanchu came to her senses, she saw the message she had just sent: [Good night, sweet dreams-] It was mentioned in books that in human nature, the deepest instinct was the desire to be valued by others. What was nature? It was destiny that one could not abandon no matter how many lies they told. The desire to establish intimate rtionships with others, the desire to have family, friends, and lovers, the desire to be valued and the desire to be loved. These were all part of nature. Lin Shanchu thought that she could give up on all these things. However, she now understood that people could not go against their nature. People could only deceive themselves. It was her most severe trial, but she could just face it herself. There was no need to implicate others. Top Feasts Sunday update coincided with the finals of My Stage. A portion of the audience went to watch My Stage, causing the real-time viewership ratings for Top Feast to drop significantlypared to two days ago. When the audience watched Top Feast the next day, they realized that Huo Chaosheng was also in this drama. Both of them were trending again with the hastag #HuoChaoshengLinShanchu. [Hold high the banner ChuSheng ship!] [Netizens from the capital send their congrattions.] [Ah Arent they a little too brazen?] [I ship their friendship! Whats wrong with that? Theres nothing wrong with that.] Some oblivious viewers were confused. [Do these two know each other? Is there any gossip between them? Why are you all so happy?] The enthusiasticizens pointed out the previous gossips to the audience. Just like that, theizens pompously made ChuSheng ship trending. Netizens who caused trouble would never be absent. They tagged Lu Shiyuan under the photo of Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng: [@LuShiyuan,e and watch your fiances new drama! [Green Frog]] The green frogs expression at the end was not a hint, but it was a clear indication that he had been cuckolded. Huo Chaoshengy in bed with nothing to do. He scrolled through Weibo and saw this post before tagging Lu Shiyuan. [@LuShiyuan, why dont you help your fiance promote her new drama?] The marketing ount instantly rushed over to ride on the poprity. After the post became popr, the hashtag #HuoChaoshengSentAMessageToLuShiyuan ended up on the trending search list. As a result, Lu Shiyuan could not y dumb even if he wanted to. Lu Shiyuan sat in front of his desk, staring at the tablet with a cold gaze. Zhou Yan stood at the side and felt that the pressure in the office had dropped quite a bit. To his surprise, Lu Shiyuan did not smash anything in rage this time. After a while, Lu Shiyuan said calmly, Tianzhou Media will be having a celebration dinner tonight, right? Zhou Yan replied, Yes, 8:00 p.m. tonight at Yong Shui Pavilion.. Chapter 252 - 252: Feeling Humiliated? Chapter 252: Feeling Humiliated? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion At night. Lin Shanchu and the others arrived at Yong Shui Pavilion on time. Tianzhou Media booked thergest banquet hall and invited all the investors, sponsors, staff behind the scenes and some big shots in the industry. Some media outlets were also invited. Before Lin Shanchu could enter the banquet hall, she heard someone calling her. Lin Shanchu, look over here! She looked up and saw Wen Huan pointing his camera at her. She smiled cooperatively. After Wen Huan finished taking photos, he ran over and whispered, Im a frence reporter for this celebration dinner. His tone sounded somewhat smug. Wen Huans influence in the industry was not small and he had been invited to manv events in the industrv. Such a celebration dinner was not a big asion for him. He was so happy because the organizer was Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu nodded and said with admiration, Youre really amazing. Wen Huan was a little embarrassed by the praise. Its just so-so. You should go in quickly. I still have to take pictures of others. Lin Shanchu smiled. Just as she was about to walk into the banquet hall, she noticed Wen Huan frowning behind her. Lin Shanchu was about to turn around when someone grabbed her wrist. Lets go in together. Lu Shiyuan? Lu Shiyuan now knew that Huo Xunzhou was the real boss of Tianzhou Media. Logically speaking, even if Tianzhou Media had sent him an invitation, he would not havee to the celebration dinner. Didnt we agree wede together? Why didnt you wait for me? Lu Shiyuan forced a smile as he grabbed Lin Shanchus hand and kept exerting strength, making her unable to break free from his grip. Wen Huan noticed Lin Shanchus struggling movements and walked over with a smile. President Lu! Lu Corporation is prosperous under your leadership. Youre so handsome and good at doing business. Youre simply the idol of young people Wen Huan squeezed between Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu, forcefully pushing Lu Shiyuan away. He was so passionate that it was as if he was really a die-hard fan of Lu Shiyuan. Pushing Lu Shiyuan to the side, he asked enthusiastically, President Lu, can you talk about your experience in doing business? Lu Shiyuan Imitted his brows and his tone sounded impatient. Sorry, noment. Lets just have chit-chat. Wen Huan refused to give up. Seeing that Lu Shiyuan was about to leave, Wen Huan blocked his way. Wen Huan would block him wherever he went. As a result, Lu Shiyuan could only watch Lin Shanchu enter the banquet hall. Lu Shiyuan could not take advantage of Huo Chaoshengs message online, regardless of whether he responded or not. Hence, he thought of attending the banquet with Lin Shanchu to divert the publics attention and respond to this matter at the same time. Unexpectedly, this reporter came out of nowhere disrupted his ns. Lu Shiyuan stared daggers at Wen Huan. Which media outlet are you from? Wen Huan was still as enthusiastic and attentive as ever. Im not from any media outlet. Im a frence reporter. Lu Shiyuan was speechless. Xia Jinmeng! Hurry up, were waiting for you. Hearing the familiar name, Lu Shiyuan turned around subconsciously. Wen Huan nced at Lu Shiyuan yfully. He felt that there was something wrong with the way Lu Shiyuan looked at Xia Jinmeng. How interesting. Lin Shanchu had entered the banquet hall. Since he had achieved his goal, he did not bother to pester Lu Shiyuan anymore. Then, he walked over and took photos of Xia Jinmeng and the others. They had just formed a groupst night, and now was the time when they were at the peak of their poprity. Many reporters were taking photos of them. They were very cooperative. Xia Jinmeng saw Lu Shiyuan at a nce. Lu Shiyuan stood out from the crowd with his tall figure. However, she quickly remembered that Lin Shanchu had instructed her to ignore Lu Shiyuan whenever she saw him. It was not difficult for her. What annoyed her the most was that Lin Shanchu made her wear the hairbow every day. Xia Jinmeng and the rest entered the banquet hall after taking photos without even sparing Lu Shiyuan a nce. Lu Shiyuan looked at her back as she left, and a hint of nostalgia shed across his eyes. When Lu Shiyuan entered the banquet hall, Lin Shanchu was sitting and talking with Nan Mu. The seat on her other side was empty. Just as Lu Shiyuan was about to walk over, Huo Chaoshengs voice came from behind him. Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan clenched his fists instantly. He turned around and stared coldly at Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng sat in the wheelchair and smiled amiably. Hey, when are you going to promote your fiances new drama? Lu Shiyuans expression changed drastically. Zhou Yan, who was apanying Lu Shiyuan, noticed the change in his mood and quickly reminded him, President Lu He was afraid that Lu Shiyuan would not be able to resist making a move on the spot. Lu Shiyuan forced a smile. Shanshan has signed with thepany and has her own team. The team will naturally promote her, so I dont need to gild the lily for her. Of course, as her fianc, I will give her the greatest support at all times. Huo Chaosheng pped his hands. Well said. Its all thanks to your support that she signed a contract with Tianzhou Media and made such great progress. Pfft! There were many people around them, and it was unknown who was the first tough. Then, there was a burst ofughter. Everyone knew that Lu Shiyuan used to put his heart and soul into supporting Tang Qidai, whereas Lin Shanchu was condemned every day, let alone became sessful. Huo Chaosheng said seriously, Your fiance must be very grateful to you. Yes, I am. Lin Shanchu walked over at some point. She walked to Lu Shiyuans side and smiled gently. The person Im most grateful to has always been you. I wouldnt have been who I am today without you. Lin Shanchu was the closest to Lu Shiyuan, so she could see his lips trembling in anger. Lin Shanchu approached him and whispered, Feeling humiliated? Do you know what you look like now? Lu Shiyuan looked up at her gloomily. Like an underdog, Lin Shanchu said slowly. Lin Shanchu! Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth. Lin Shanchu took a step back and maintained her smile. Dont just stand there. Today is ourpanys celebration dinner. You cant steal ourpanys limelight. The words ourpany sounded extremely ironic. Back then, Lin Shanchu signed a contract with Tianzhou Media after he had driven her into a corner. Lin Shanchu turned around and walked to her previous position. After she sat down. she turned around and called out to Lu Shivuan. Come and sit. In the next second, a tall figure sat down beside her. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Yun Yis smiling face. She tilted her head slightly and wondered what he was trying to do. What a coincidence, Miss Lin. Yun Yis smile deepened. Speechless, Lin Shanchu thought that it was no coincidence. Lin Shanchu didnt understand him. Yun Yi looked mature and steady, but why would he steal someone elses seat? Why was he as childish as Huo Xunzhou? They were really a family. On the other hand, Nan Mu was in a good mood after watching the drama unfold earlier. No matter what, Lu Shiyuan was a guest. As the organizer, he had to entertain him well. President Nan stood up. President Lu, sit here. Shanshan! Yun Wu sat down in his seat right after he got up.. Chapter 253 - 253: A Simple Method Chapter 253: A Simple Method Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although Nan Mu did not really want to give up his position to Lu Shiyuan in the beginning, he felt awkward for Lu Shiyuan at this moment. There are seats here. Nan Mu led Lu Shiyuan to the seat opposite Lin Shanchu. Opposite him, Yun Wu was talking to Lin Shanchu excitedly. Nan Mu nced at Lu Shiyuan. Yunwu has a good rtionship with Shanshan. Now they finally have time to chat. Look at how happy they are. Lu Shiyuan held the wine in front of him and took a big gulp expressionlessly. Nan Mu felt delighted as he looked at Lu Shiyuan who had nowhere to vent his anger. Unfortunately, he still had a lot of things to do and did not have time to appreciate it slowly. Yun Wu moved her chair towards Lin Shanchu and said regretfully, The supper we had at the restaurantst night was super delicious, but you left too early. I dont really like supper. Lin Shanchu smiled. Yun Yi said, Its doesnt matter. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Big brother! Yun Wu turned around and said to Yun Yi, This is Shanshan, my good friend. I know, I met her yesterday. Yun Yi smiled warmly. Yun Wu whispered to Lin Shanchu, I didnt lie to you, did I? Isnt my big brother quite good-looking? Lin Shanchu replied, Yeah. Yun Wu pinched her thumb and index finger and gestured, Compared to Third Brother, he might be a littlecking. Eat something. Lin Shanchu changed the topic. Yun Wus attention was immediately attracted by the food. Yun Yi suddenly said, Xunzhou, you are here. Come here quickly and sit. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Yun Yi replied with a fatherly smile. That was right. He was here to save a spot for Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu followed his gaze and saw Li MO pushing Huo Xunzhou over. Mr. Yun, you know that Lu Shiyuan across the table is my fianc, right? This matchmaking was too tant. Yun Yi corrected her seriously, You can call me Big Rrother like Yun Wu. Then, he nodded solemnly as he said, Im well aware of your situation. Lin Shanchu repiled, Then why did you So what? Yun Yi asked. Lin Shanchu was bewildered. Yun Yi continued, We do business on a firste, first-served basis and pay attention to methods. The bigger the business, the simpler the method we use. Lin Shanchu was confused. Whats the simple method? Yun Yi smiled gently, looking gentlemanly and refined. Daylight robbery. Lin Shanchu was speechless. It was really a simple method. Li MO had pushed Huo Xunzhou up to Yun Yi. Yun Yi stood up and gave up his seat. Huo Xunzhou sat down beside Lin Shanchu. Lu Shiyuan witnessed this scene across the tabel. He instructed Zhou Yan in a low voice, Go and find out the identity of the man who gave up his seat to Huo Xunzhou. Understood. Zhou Yan got up and went out. After Huo Xunzhou sat down, Lin Shanchu took a piece of dessert and started eating slowly. Yun Yi kicked Huo Xunzhou under the table. Huo Xunzhou frowned and turned to look at him. Yun Yi said in a disappointed tone, Take the initiative. He had snatched the seat with great difficulty, but his silly brother was like a block of wood and did not say a word. Wasnt he letting him down? Huo Xunzhou hesitated for a moment. When he turned around, he saw Lin Shanchu holding a ss of wine and looking eager to try it. Huo Xunzhou reached for a ss of fruit juice and handed it to her. After exchanging a nce with him, Lin Shanchu downed the ss of wine in one gulp in front of him and even mmed the empty ss on the table. Huo Xunzhous gaze lingered on the empty ss for a moment before he said, Miss Lin, I didnt know you have alcohol tolerance. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to speak, Huo Xunzhou interrupted her, Thats right. Were not familiar with each other after all. There was an imperceptible annoyance in his tone. However, Lin Shanchu could not sense it. She just felt that Huo Xunzhous words sounded familiar. Wasnt that what she said to Yun Yist night? Lin Shanchu turned to Yun Yi. Yun Yi turned his face away and pretended not to hear anything. His silly brothers character had not changed at all. If Yun Jin had not told him that Huo Xunzhou was infatuated with Lin Shanchu, he would have thought that Huo Xunzhou hated her instead of liking her. This petty man was trying to set him up again. Childish. Lin Shanchu took another ss of wine and said slowly, You already said that were not close to each other. It would be strange if you could tell my alcohol tolerance. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. Yun Wu, who was enjoying her meal, turned her head to look over upon hearing those words. She looked at Huo Xunzhou and then at Lin Shanchu. Finally, she took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to her elder brother: [Why did Third Brother and Shanshan quarrel?] Yun Yi: [He brought it upon himself.] Yun Wu: [???] Forget it. It was more important for them to have dinner. After that, Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu ignored each other. After a short while, Nan Mu called Huo Xunzhou away. Lin Shanchu suddenly thought of something and called out to Nan Mu. President Nan. Whats wrong? Call Xia Jinmeng overter, Lin Shanchu said in a low voice. Alright. Nan Mu did not ask further questions. At this time, Zhou Yan returned to the seat across the table. He handed his phone to Lu Shiyuan. President Lu, he is the current president of Yun Ding Corporation, Yun Yi. After Lu Shiyuan finished reading the information, he was lost in thought. Shortly afterwards, Nan Mu called Xia Jinmeng over in the name of a toast. Jinmeng,e over and give President Lu a toast. President Lu, Ill toast you. As Xia Jinmeng lifted her head, she raised the ss and drank it. She was wearing a white dress with her ck hair draped over her shoulders. She had a faint makeup and her docile appearance looked so weak that it made one pity her. She frowned the entire time she drank the wine. Her frown deepened after she finished drinking, as if she was enduring the difort. Lu Shiyuan liked someone stubborn, forbearing, and unpretentious the most. Looking at her, he frowned slightly but did not say anything. Xia Jinmeng, I heard that your contract with your previouspany is about to expire, is that right? Xia Jinmeng looked up at Lin Shanchu in confusion, but Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at Nan Mu. President Nan, it would be great if you could sign her to thepany so that Ill have another acquaintance in thepany. Before Nan Mu could speak, Lu Shiyuan opened his mouth, Shanshan, its none of your business. Lin Shanchu was now the cash cow of Tianzhou Media, and she was vicious. If Xia Jinmeng really signed with Tianzhou Media, Lin Shanchu would bully and humiliate her at wills. Lin Shanchu widened her eyes and pretended to be innocent. I was just telling President Nan what I thought. President Nan and Xia Jinmeng didnt mind it, so why would you mind? Nan Mu sized Xia Jinmeng up, as if he was seriously considering Lin Shanchus suggestion. Jin Meng is quite outstanding Lu Shiyuan frowned fiercely and finally couldnt help but say, Ourpany is alsocking female artists of this type. He took the bait. What do you mean? Lin Shanchu asked in surprise. Are you trying to snatch her away from President Nan? Im not. It depends on the wish of the person involved, Lu Shiyuan spoke as he turned to look at Xia Jinmeng confidently.. Chapter 254 - 254: Tell Me, I’ll Make Him Change! Chapter 254: Tell Me, Ill Make Him Change! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Everyone looked at Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng looked at Lin Shanchu without batting an eyelid. Lin Shanchu shook her head, signaling her to reject him. Lin Shanchu shook her head very slowly. The angle was so small that no one thought that she was hinting at Xia Jinmeng. Lu Shiyuan, who had assumed that Lin Shanchu hated Xia Jinmeng, would never have thought of this. President Lu, thank you for your love. My currentpany treats me quite well. Xia Jinmeng declined Lu Shiyuans offer politely. After nodding at him slightly, she turned around and left. As for Lu Shiyuan, he was just like before, looking toward the direction where Xia Jinmeng had left in a daze. Lin Shanchu could figure out what was on Lu Shiyuans mind without beating her brains out. She was so unique, pure, refined and lovable that he had an urge to protect her. He had to get her to hispany in order to protect her. The celebration dinner ended. Before Lin Shanchu left, the siblingsYun Yi and Yun Wucame to talk to her one after another. Miss Lin, you are so smart. I think think should know how Xunzhou feels about you. Yun Yi looked serious as if he was in a business negotiation. Lin Shanchu could not figure out Yun Yis thoughts for a moment. After thinking for a brief while, she decided to take a stand. Mr. Yun, I respect Teacher Huo very much. He has helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to him. However, my ability is limited. All I can do is work hard to earn money for thepany to express my gratitude to him. Lin Shanchu thought that she had made herself clear and her attitude was firm. Someone with status like Yun Yi should not pursue the matter further. If he asked further questions, he would lose his bearing. However, Yun Yi did not y by the rules. What are you not satisfied with Xunzhou? Tell me, Ill make him change! Lin Shanchu was shocked. Huh? Did Yun Yi misunderstand Huo Xunzhous charm? Did he think that given Huo Xunzhous qualifications, he needed to lower his stance to find a wife? Yun Yi tentatively asked, Do you think his legs No. Lin Shanchu was afraid that he would say something ridiculous again, so she quickly stopped him, Im not dissatisfied with Teacher Huo at all. Teacher Huo is very good. The main reason is Im not in the same league as him. Then whom are you in the same league with? Huo Chaosheng? Yun Yi thought that Lin Shanchu acquiesced to his statement, so he frowned and said, Even if youre not interested in Xunzhou, youre still Yun Wus friend. As his elder brother, Ill take the liberty of reminding you that Huo Chaosheng has evil intentions and is not a good match for you. Lin Shanchu felt Yun Yis kindness from the bottom of his heart. People were always moved by genuine kindness. Thank you, Big Brother. Lin Shanchu did not smile. Instead, she ced her hands behind her back, looking obedient. Yun Yi noticed that Lin Shanchu seemed more sincere when she was not smiling. This youngdy was quite interesting. No wonder Yun Wu and Xunzhou liked her. I heard from Yun Wu that your cooking is delicious. Yun Yi said with a look of regret, Im going back to the capital tonight, so I probably wont be able to taste your cooking. Yun Wu is lucky enough to enjoy your cooking. Have a safe journey. Lin Shanchu understood that he was indirectly requesting her to treat Yun Wu better. It turned out that Yun Yi had seen through her pretense of giving Yun Wu the cold shoulder back then. Lin Shanchu was a little envious of Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu. She envied them for having such a thoughtful and considerate elder brother. Yun Wu came over right after Yun Yi left. What did my big brother say to you? Yun Wu said as she looked in the direction Yun Yi had left. Lin Shanchu easily changed the topic, Your big brother seems to be very concerned about your Third Brothers rtionship issue? It cant be helped. The elders in the family are urging them to get married. My three brothers are under a lot of pressure. They are all counting on each other to get married early so that they can be free. Yun Wu shrugged with a gloating look on her face. Lin Shanchu was stunned. She had never expected this to be the reason. Didnt they urge you to get married? Im Grandpa and Grandmas little darling. They wish that I will never find a boyfriend in this life. Yun Wuughed before she could finish speaking. Lin Shanchuughed as well. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Xia Jinmeng not far away. She calmly averted her gaze and teased, Little darling, its gettingte. I have to go home. Yun Wu grabbed her arm and asked, Shanshan, is there something going on between you and Xia Jinmeng? Lin Shanchu did not deny it. Dont worry, no matter what, youll always be my beloved little sister. Yun Wu raised her chin, looking a little proud. Then what about Sister Zhenzhen who touched and hugged you? She felt the long-lost feeling of being questioned by the wife for cheating on her. You mean Jian Zhen? Lin Shanchu patted Yun Wus head. Dont worry. Were only in a working rtionship. Youre still the one I love the most. Yun Wu burst outughing. You look like a scumbag now. Ill leave now! Lin Shanchu raised an eyebrow. Bye! Yun Wu waved at her and ran away energetically. Lin Shanchu turned around and heard Yun Wu shouting from behind, Ill hang out with you in a couple days when Im no longer busy. Lin Shanchu made an OK gesture with her back facing Yun Wu. Since she could not go against nature, then she would have to let nature take its course. Qi Cheng and He Xiang came back from work. He Xiang kept ncing at Yun Wu. Yun Wu is so cute. Lin Shanchu replied, Is that so? He Xiang nodded vigorously. Lin Shanchu said, Then Ill ask her to hang out at our house in two days. He Xiang replied, Sister Lin, youre so nice. Qi Cheng mercilessly revealed the truth. Shanshang wants to y with Yun Wu, and you thought its for your sake. Unexpectedly, He Xiang smiled even more happily. Brother Qi, you might not know, but Im a shipper of LinYun pairing. He Xiang covered her face shyly after finished speaking. Qi Cheng was dumbstruck for a long time before he said, How unscrupulous! He Xiang smiled radiantly as she said, You dont understand the happiness of a pairing shipper. Qi Cheng shook off the goosebumps on his body. He really did not quite understand the thoughts of young people nowadays. Shanshan, the elevator is not over there. He noticed that Lin Shanchu was walking in the opposite direction of the elevator. Im going to the restroom. Lin Shanchus figure had disappeared at the corner. Lin Shanchu entered the restroom and stood in front of the sink, slowly touching up her makeup. After thest person left the restroom, Xia Jinmeng finally arrived. Xia Jinmeng stood beside Lin Shanchu in front of the sink. Why did you signal me to reject Lu Shiyuan? Its not a good move to rush things. Xia Jinmeng was not satisfied with Lin Shanchus answer. What if Lu Shiyuan really gets angry? Not only will he not be angry, but he will also think that you are more special than everyone else. Lin Shanchu scrutinized her makeup in the mirror. It was not bad. She looked very beautiful. Her nonchnt attitude made Xia Jinmeng a little angry. Lin Shanchu, can you be more serious? Lin Shanchu finally turned to look at her. Whats the hurry? Your current boss will send your contract to Lu Shiyuans desk tomorrow.. Chapter 255 - 255: I Can Become Even More Extreme Chapter 255: I Can Be Even More Extreme Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Really? Xia Jinmengs face brightened. Lu Shiyuan dered at the banquet today that he wanted to sign you. This news will reach your bosss ears very soon. Your boss didnt want to renew the contract with you anyway. Naturally, he wont let go of this opportunity to show his goodwill to Lu Shiyuan. It was gettingte. Lin Shanchu was a little sleepy. She covered her mouth and yawned, noticing that Xia Jinmengs hand was in her pocket. Today, Xia Jinmeng was wearing an oufitprising a balloon-sleeved shirt and a pleated skirt custom-made by the show crew. The pleated skirt had specially designed sh pockets. Xia Jinmeng was holding her phone in her pocket, and a corner of her phone could be vaguely seen above her pocket. It was normal for her to put her hands in the pocket or her phone in the pocket. However, it seemed a little deliberate to hold her phone in the pocket. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze calmly without showing any abnormality in her expression. Lin Shanchu, how can you be sure that my boss will give my contract to Lu Shiyuan? Lin Shanchu did not say anything. Instead, she slowly moved forward and approached Xia Jinmeng. I believe you, okay? Xia Jinmeng subconsciously covered her face with her hands. Previously, Lin Shanchu would always p her out of the blue. Now, she was traumatized. What was even more infuriating was that she still had to rely on Lin Shanchu to gain Lu Shiyuans favor and that she could not retaliate against Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu took the opportunity to take out the phone from Xia Jinmengs pocket. Xia Jinmengs expression changed when she saw that. What are you doing? Return my phone. She reached out to snatch the phone. Lin Shanchu grabbed her hand and turned her back before trying her finger one by one to unlock the fingerprint lock on her phone. She was very lucky as she managed to unlock the phone by trying the index finger. The screen disyed the recording interface. Xia Jinmenz exined in a panic, I must have identallv touched it before. Ill delete the recording now. Lin Shanchu raised the phone high and dodged Xia Jinmengs hand. You dont believe me? Xia Jinmeng pretended to be calm as she said, Were all in the same boat now. Is there a need for me to y such a trick? Whos in the same boat as you? Lin Shanchus tone was filled with disgust. You Bang! Lin Shanchu threw the phone into the sink and turned on the tap. Are you crazy? Thats my phone! Xia Jinmeng struggled to grab the phone, but Lin Shanchu pushed her away expressionlessly. The sink was soon filled with water, and the phone screen went off. Youve gone too far! Xia Jinmeng said angrily. I can be even more extreme. Lin Shanchu immediately searched Xia Jinmengs entire body. Clothes were thin in summer, so it was not difficult to search the body. Lin Shanchu made sure that Xia Jinmeng did not have any recording devices on her before retreating. Xia Jinmeng was both angry and guilty as she looked away. After you go to Lu Corporation, we dont have to see each other anymore. You just need to y your role well, and Lu Shiyuan will soon be as obsessed with you as he was with Tang Qidai. Upon hearing those words, Xia Jinmeng turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu thought of something interesting after locking eyes with Xia Jinmeng. Oh right, Lu Shiyuan hasnt slept with a woman yet. Wish you all the best. What? Xia Jinmeng found it unbelievable. Lin Shanchu covered her mouth and yawned again. She was too sleepy. She had to go back to sleep. It seemed that she had to attend an event tomorrow. After Lin Shanchu fished out Xia Jinmengs phone from the sink, she turned around and left. Xia Jinmeng stood rooted to the spot for a long time before she came to her senses. It turned out that Lu Shiyuan had never slept with a woman before. He doted on Tang Qidai so much back then, but he had never slept with her? Could it be that Lu Shiyuan was impotent? On second thought, she felt that this possibility was very small. She did not expect Lu Shiyuan to be a virgin. If she could be Lu Shiyuans first woman Not only would she be able to enjoy endless wealth, but she would also be better than Tang Qidai.. Qi Cheng and He Xiang were waiting for Lin Shanchu at the intersection. He Xiang walked up to her. What took you so long? Were there many people in the restroom? There werent many of them, Lin Shanchu smiled as she entered the elevator. After getting into the car, Lin Shanchu handed Xia Jinmengs phone to Qi Cheng. Brother Qi, please get rid of this phone. Alright. Qi Cheng did not ask further questions. He Xiang was initially curious, but she did not pursue the matter either. When they got home, He Xiang went to prepare a bath for Lin Shanchu. When she finished draining the water, she realized that Lin Shanchu was already asleep on the bed. Sister Lin? Lin Shanchu opened her eyes in a daze. Is it dawn already? He Xiangughed. Its still early. I just helped you fill the water. Oh. Lin Shanchu sat up, still looking tired. He Xiang pulled Lin Shanchu up from the bed. Sister Lin, are you that tired from tonights banquet? I didnt see you so sleepy when you were filming night scenes a few days ago. He Xiangs words alerted Lin Shanchu. She was no stranger to this feeling of not being able to lift her spirits even though she was not tired. This condition would often ur to her before she exchanged Health Points with the system. It had been a little long since thest time she exchanged Health Points with the system, to the point that she had almost forgotten what it felt like to be sick. After careful calction, she realized that the time limit of the Health Points was almost up. You probably havent recovered from filming the night scenes a few days ago. Thats why you are so tired. Lin Shanchu looked at He Xiang. Thank you for the hard work. You should go to sleep first. Mhmm. He Xiang replied, Call me if you need anything. Lin Shanchu entered the bathroom. As soon as shey in the bathtub, she began to feel drowsy. She forced herself to stay awake so that she would not fall asleep during the bath. After bathing, Lin Shanchu came out of the bathroom andy on the bed. Then, she stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, stubbornly resisting the fatigue in her body. She sighed and closed her eyes when her eyes started to be sore. Forget it. She should sleep first. The next day. He Xiang almost finished preparing breakfast, but she still had not seen Lin Shanchu around. Therefore, He Xiang came over and knocked on Lin Shanchus door. Sister Lin, its time for breakfast. You have a shootter. If you dont get up now, youll bete. Lin Shanchu woke up in a daze. She picked up her phone and saw that it was already past 7:00 a.m. Usually, she would wake up naturally at 6:00 a.m. Lin Shanchu threw her phone away in frustration and shouted outside, Iming. The breakfast prepared by He Xiang was still very sumptuous and looked very appetizing. After Lin Shanchu sat down, she started to gobble down breakfast. He Xiang looked happy. Sister Lin, are you hungry? Eat more. After a while, He Xiang sensed that something was wrong. Sister Lin, arent you eating a little too much As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shanchu, who was sitting oppc suddenly retched. Then, Lin Shanchu covered her mouth as she got u the bathroom.. Chapter 256 - 256: You Have Obtained God’s Favor Chapter 256: You Have Obtained Gods Favor Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Sister Lin, whats wrong with you? He Xiang immediately got up and followed her. Lin Shanchu was lying in front of the sink and retching, looking miserable. Anxious, He Xiang patted her back to make her feel better. When Lin Shanchu finally calmed down, He Xiang trotted off to pour a ss of water for Lin Shanchu to rinse her mouth. Lin Shanchu took the ss of water, rinsed her mouth, and forced herself to drink a mouthful of water. Then, she straightened up and looked at He Xiang. Im fine. I have an upset stomach probably because Ive eaten all kinds of food in the past few days. He Xiang frowned as she said, Lets go to the hospital then. No need, its not that ufortable. Lin Shanchu patted He Xiang on the shoulder. Pack up. Were going out. After returning to her room, Lin Shanchus calm expression instantly disappeared. As the Health Points were near expiry, the symptoms of cancer became more and more obvious. She felt nauseous and vomited, and she had no appetite for meals. She was tired and could not lift her spirits. The series of changes in her physical condition forced her to confront her illness. She knew that it was just the beginning. If she did not exchange the so-called Health Points with the system, her condition would be even more serious. Lin Shanchu curled her lips and sneered at the thought. She wanted to live too. She wanted to live a morefortable life. However, she did not want to be at the mercy of the stupid system like before. A stupid system that could not distinguish between right and wrong was no different from that scumbag, Lu Shiyuan. None of them could control her! When Lin Shanchu was filming in the studio, He Xiang was very considerate and went to buy medicine for her. The doctor said that these medicines have to be taken after meals. Eat something first. He Xiang even bought porridge and some light dishes for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchus way of expressing her gratitude was more direct. Ill give you a raise. He Xiang was a little speechless. Sister Lin, how many times have you given me a raise? If you increase my sry again, Im afraid that you even have to sell your family property. Lin Shanchu lowered her head and took a sip of porridge. It wont reach that extent. Ive arranged my inheritance long ago. Youve arranged your inheritance? He Xiang looked surprised. Lin Shanchu realized that she had spilled the beans, so she calmly remedied the situation and said, People with assets like us will arrange it in advance. Youre right. He Xiang felt that it made sense. When the shoot ended in the afternoon, Lin Shanchu received a call from Nan Mtl. I heard that Xia Jinmengs boss sent her contract to Lu Shiyuan early this morning. Nan Mu was unconvinced as he continued, Why didnt he send it to ourpany? Do you think Xia Jinmengs boss looks down on me or Xunzhou? Who doesnt like a dupe in business? Lin Shanchuughed. Nan Mu was silent for two seconds before heughed out loud. Thats true. Lu Shiyuan seems to have a screw loose and insists on signing Xia Jinmeng. He must have given Xia Jinmengs boss a lot of benefits. At the banquet yesterday, Lin Shanchu was the one who suggested to Nan Mu that he should consider signing Xia Jinmeng, but he was not very willing to do so. In addition, Huo Xunzhous identity as the behind-the-scenes boss had been exposed, indicating that Nan Mu might not have the power to make a decision. Lu Shiyuan still had power to make decisions in Lu Corporation and he had dered that he wanted to sign Xia Jinmeng, so he must have taken a liking to her. Xia Jinmengs boss weighed the pros and cons and naturally thought that he could reap more benefits by giving the contract to Lu Shiyuan. At this moment, Nan Mu finally realized it. Youre not surprised by this event at all. Did you expect this oue? Lin Shanchu did not respond directly. Instead, she said, Thank you for your cooperationst night, President Nan. It was equivalent to indirectly acknowledging Nan Mus words. I really want to know if you have obtained Gods favor. Nan Mu heaved a long sigh. He even began to understand why Tang Qidai picked on Lin Shanchu all the time. Lin Shanchu was good-looking and intelligent coupled with a trait that attracted fans and anti-fans. Even Nan Mu, as a man, felt a little jealous, let alone Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu replied, Thank you for yourpliment, President Nan. Is there anything else? Nan Mu said, There really is! Yiming asked me for your contact information. The director? He was probably referring to Song Yiming, the director of My Stage. Nan Mu said, Thats right. Give me his number. Ill contact himter. She was acquainted with the director. After all, she had borrowed his phone several times. Alright! Nan Mu hung up the phone and sent Song Yimings number to her. Lin Shanchu still had to rush to the next event, so she could only rest in the car for a while. After she sent a friend request to Song Yiming on WeChat, she fell asleep. When she woke up, she had arrived at the destination. The staff came over to bring them to the dressing room. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to enter the dressing room, she heard Yun Wus voice behind her. Shanshan! Lin Shanchu raised her head and saw the group of five including Yun Wu were present. What a coincidence. She really felt that it was a coincidence. She had never thought that she would meet Yun Wu and the others here. Wen Tongtong and Ran Zhimo also came over to greet Lin Shanchu. After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Shanchu entered her dressing room. It was a single dressing room that the organizer had specially arranged for her. Wow! Ran Zhimo eximed, Lin Shanchu is so amazing. She even has her own dressing room. Yunwu nodded proudly. Yeah. An Youyun curled her lips and sneered silently. Wen Tongtong nced at An Youyun. Put on more perfume. You smell sour. You An Youjun snorted coldly and turned around to enter the dressing room. On the other hand, Xia Jinmeng, who had a direct confrontation with Lin Shanchu back in the training camp, did not say a word. She turned around and followed An Youjun into the dressing room. Ran Zhimo felt that it was a little novel and whispered to Yun Wu, Dont you feel that Xia Jinmeng has been acting weird recently? Her style of dressing has changed, and even her personality has be much quieter. Really? Yun Wu vaguely understood that Xia Jinmengs change had something to do with Lin Shanchu, but she naturally would not tell Ran Zhimo about it. Wen Tongtongughed mockingly. Its just her pretense. She had gotten along with Xia Jinmeng for a long time, so she knew best about Xia Jinmengs personality. It was impossible for Xia Jinmeng to change her personality in such a short period of time. What do you mean? Ran Zhimo asked curiously. Wen Tongtong said expressionlessly, I dont know what happened to her, but I know shes putting up a pretense. After saying that, she went into the dressing room. When Yun Wu saw that Ran Zhimo looked like she wanted to pursue the matter, she said, Im going to hang out with Shanshan for a while. Call me when youre going leave. After everyone left, Ran Zhimo felt bored and followed them into the dressing room. As soon as Lin Shanchu sat in front of the mirror and closed her eyes, she started to feel sleepy. Shanshan. Hearing Yun Wus voice, Lin Shanchu opened her eyes. Yu Tian was sitting at the side and looking at Lin Shanchu with her chin rested on her hand. Did you not sleep wellst night? Chapter 257 - 257: She Really Wanted to Piss Him Off Chapter 257: She Really Wanted to Piss Him Off Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu blinked hard a few times before she felt a little more awake. My schedule is a little packed these few days. How can Third Brother be like this? Ill help you teach him a lessonter, Yun Wu said seriously. Lin Shanchu looked at her with a faint smile as she asked, You dare? Yun Wu touched her neck guiltily and said weakly, I dont dare to do so. How does it feel to be in a group? Lin Shanchu asked her, Are you used to it? Its pretty good! Yun Wu nodded vigorously, looking very satisfied with the group life. Lin Shanchu was a little surprised. Just as she was about to ask more questions, she heard Yun Wu say, Thepany specially hired a housekeeper to cook for us. Its said that shes a retired chef and her cooking skills are very good! Speechless, the words of concern were on the tip of Lin Shanchus tongue, but she did not know whether to say it or keep quiet. An Youyun and Xia Jinmeng were not on good terms with her, whereas Yun Wu was close to her. She was a little worried that they would target Yun Wu. Now, it seemed that she had overthought it. After a long time, two words fell from Lin Shanchus lips, Thats good. Are you busy tomorrow? Yun Wu asked. He Xiang, who had been standing quietly at the side, considerately reported Lin Shanchus itinerary for the next day. Sister Lin will be joining the crew to film Top Feast tomorrow afternoon, so shes free in the morning. Ill be free tomorrow morning too. Yun Wu winked vigorously, hinting that Lin Shanchu could invite her to hang out at the house. Lin Shanchu was very cooperative as she extended an invitation to Yun Wu. Then, tomorrow morning Yun Wu said, Theres no need to wait till tomorrow morning. Ill go home with youter after the event. Before Lin Shanchu could say anything, He Xiang ran over excitedly and asked, Really? Yun Wu knew nothing about He Xiangs identity as a shipper of LinYun pairing. Of course its real, Shanshan, dont you think so? Lin Shanchu nodded and gave He Xiang a strange look. He Xiang chuckled, turned around and sat down, pretending that nothing had happened. When the event ended, Lin Shanchu went backstage alone. The aisle leading to the backstage was a little narrow and dimly lit, looking very depressing. Lin Shanchu felt a little suffocated as soon as she walked into the aisle. Her body had been experiencing all sorts of difort since yesterday. Just as the tightness in her chest eased, she felt a familiar pain. What was supposed toe hade. The cancer pain acted up again. It seemed like it was a little more painful than she had imagined. The noises from the frontstage reached her ears and people passed by her from time to time. If she copsed here, someone would immediately discover her and take her to the hospital. After that, the news of Lin Shanchu is terminally ill would probably be trending on the social media. It was not time yet. After taking a deep breath, Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth and held onto the wall to steady herself and prevent herself from copsing. Just as she was about to give in, arge hand held her waist from behind. The warm touch seeped through the thin fabric of her clothes, dissipating the pain a little for some reason. Lin Shanchu turned around abruptly. Under the dim light, the mans defined face looked as calm as water and his deep charming eyes were dark and obscure. Sensing that Lin Shanchus condition had improved, Huo Xunzhou retracted his hand and said indifferently, If youre not feeling well, dont force yourself to participate in the event. How are you going to make money for thepany when youre fatigued? It seemed that Yun Yi had ryed her words word for word to Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes slightly and her serious tone carried a trace of respect as she said, President Huo, you are right. Se used to call him Teacher Huo or Mr. Huo. Now, she even called him President Huo. She was really a sensible, tactful and good employee. After taking two deep breaths, Huo Xunzhou turned his wheelchair and left expressionlessly. Unfortunately, the aisle was narrow and winding, so it was not easy for wheelchairs to pass through. Huo Xunzhou soon hit the wall. Bang! Huo Xunzhou stared at the wall and did not move for a while. It was fine if that heartless woman Lin Shanchu wanted to piss him off. Now, even the wall was against him! Lin Shanchu observed Huo Xunzhou for a moment. She was worried that he might have hit his leg, but she could not ask him directly. She was afraid that he would feel awkward. President Huo, can I help you? she asked tentatively. Its none of your business! Huo Xunzhous tone was fast and anxious, sounding very angry. Strangely, Lin Shanchu did not feel afraid at all. For some reason, she even wanted tough. Who would have thought that the superficially cold and aloof Best Actor Huo would fight with a wall behind the scenes? Lin Shanchu did not say anything else. She walked over silently and pushed Huo Xunzhous wheelchair forward. I said its none of your business! Huo Xunzhou sounded even angrier. Lin Shanchus tone was calm and gentle. Im sorry, President Huo. I dont want to be nosy, but youre in my way. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. She really wanted to piss him off. As soon as they were out of the aisle, the field of vision widened. Yu Tian had returned to the backstage before Lin Shanchu and was waiting for her at the exit. Shanshan. Yun Wu ran over as she shouted, Third Brother! Lin Shanchu handed Huo Xunzhou over to Yunwu. Ill go to the lounge to clean up first. Ille to youter. Oh, okay. Yun Wu averted her gaze and looked at Huo Xunzhou. Third brother, why is Shanshan so cold to you? Is she not cold to you? Huo Xunzhou sneered. Shes not. Yun Wu blinked and looked smug. We agreed to go home togetherter. Ill spend the night at her house tonight and eat her cooking at her house tomorrow. Huo Xunzhou looked at Yun Wu in disbelief. Was his position in Lin Shanchus heart inferior to Yun Wus? Yun Wu sighed and said with a troubled expression, Third Brother, you dont have to be jealous of me. Its not like I can encounter such a good thing every day. After all, Shanshan and I are too busy with work and dont have time. Huo Xunzhou said, You may go. Alright. Yun Wu nced at Li MO who wasing over not far away. Then Ill go look for Shanshan. Go home and rest early, Third Brother Huo Xunzhou shouted, Dont call me Third Brother! Yun Wu took two steps back. After confirming that she was at a safe distance, she said arrogantly, President Huo, itll be hard for you to get a girlfriend if youre so fierce. Yun Wu turned around and slipped away before Huo Xunzhou could hit the roof. She ran very quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Li MO walked over at this moment and looked in the direction where Yun Wu had left. Big Brother, did something happen? Why did Miss Yun run away in such a hurry? Shes running for her life. How can she not be in a hurry? Huo Xunzhou sneered. Li MO was terrified. It had been a long time since he had seen Huo Xunzhou show such an expression. Li MO did not know what had happened, nor did he dare to ask further questions. Then should we go back directly now or wait for Miss Yun to have dinner together? Do you think I can still eat with Yunwu calmly? Huo Xunzhou asked coldly in a deep voice, looking at Li Mo.. Chapter 258 - 258: Can’t Find Her Medical Records Chapter 258: Cant Find Her Medical Records Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Li MO realized the seriousness of the matter. In the past, Huo Xunzhou had always called Yun Wu by her nickname. Now, he even called her by her full name Youre going back directly? Alright. Li MO felt a little wronged. He did not expect Yun Wu, who looked so sensible, would anger Huo Xunzhou. He thought that had run away because she had something urgent to attend to. He did not expect that she would run so fast to get away because she had angered Huo Xunzhou. He was careless. As soon as Huo Xunzhou got into the car, he received a call from Yun Yi. How was Yun Wus performance today? Yun Yi was worried about Yun Wus safety because it was her first time attending an event. Therefore, he asked Huo Xunzhou toe to the event venue to escort her. Huo Xunzhou got angry at the mention of Yun Wu. She did very well. Judging from Huo Xunzhous tone, Yun Yi could guess that Yun Wu had done something to anger him. One was a younger brother, and the other was a younger sister. Both of them were dear to him. After thinking for a moment, Yun Yi cleared his throat and showed off the aura of a big brother. Xunzhou, if Yun Wu has done anything wrong, just teach her a lesson. If shes really gone too far hit her gently. After all, shes your younger sister Huo Xunzhou replied, Im relieved to hear your words. Yun Yi was puzzled. He just said a few words of courtesy, and Xunzhou was really going to beat Wun Wu up? Is there anything else, Big Brother? Huo Xunzhou asked. What had been said could not be taken back. Yun Yi, as the elder brother, naturally wanted to save face. He could not go back on his word. In that case, he could only y some tricks. If Yun Wu doesnt listen to you, you can hit her all you want. You dont have to care about showing respect for me, but Yun Yi coughed and changed the topic. You should at least show respect for Miss Lin, shouldnt you? Miss Lin and Yun Wu are close friends after all. Huo Xunzhou fell silent for two seconds before he said, Im not familiar with her. Helpless, Yun Yi asked, Then why dont you think of a way? Huo Xunzhou chuckled and said seriously, Big Brother, Miss Ming is not bad. The next second, the phone was hung up with a busy signal. Huo Xunzhou felt refreshed. When Lin Shanchu saw Yun Wu, she asked, Your Third Brother has left? He should have left. Huo Xunzhou did not dare to chase after her and beat her up, so he must have gone back by now. Yun Wus uncertain tone sounded a little suspicious. However, Lin Shanchu did not ask further questions. After packing her things, she went home with Yun Wu. Lin Shanchu knew that Yunwu was gluttonous, so she told He Xiang to order takeout on the way back. When they arrived home, the takeout had just arrived. Yun Wu had always had a good appetite. Lin Shanchu felt that her appetite had improved as she watched Yun Wu gobble down the food. She chatted with Yun Wu as they ate. Soon, it waste at night. Shanshan, do you think filming is more interesting or being on the stage is more When Yun Wu raised her head, she realized that Lin Shanchu had fallen asleep with her chin on her hands. She could fall asleen during a conversation? Yu Tian lightened her movements and moved closer to He Xiang before speaking to her in a low voice, Is Shanshans schedule very packed recently? She did not think that Huo Xunzhou would be willing to make Shanshans schedule packed. He Xiang looked at Lin Shanchu as she said, Although she has work every day, its not packed. She has enough time to sleep every day. As she spoke, she clicked open Lin Shanchus itinerary on her phone and showed it to Yun Wu. Yun Wu finished looking at the schedule and sized up Lin Shanchu for a while before taking her phone to the balcony to make a call. Yun Wu quietly closed the balcony door. Then, she leaned against the railing and faced the living room as she called Huo Xunzhou. Before the call went through, Yun Wu was so afraid that she started biting her fingers. She regretted it now. If she had known that she would call Huo Xunzhou tonight, she would not have gone too far at the backstage just now. Huo Xunzhou must still be angry. He might not even pick up her call. At this moment, a cold male voice was heard from the other end of the phone. You still dare to call me? Yun Wu shivered with fear. She then called out shamelessly, Third Brother Call me President Huo, Huo Xunzhou sneered. Even if Yun Wu had a nerve now, she would not dare to call him President Huo again. Third Brother, theres something I want to talk to you about. Its about Shanshan. Hearing her mention Lin Shanchu, Huo Xunzhous tone became more normal. Speak. I often feel that theres something wrong with Shanshans body Yun Wu weighed her words as she said, She seems to be sick. After that, Yun Wu quickly exined, Im not scolding her. I just feel that she seems to be sick. Huo Xunzhous tone became serious. Why do you think so? I had this feeling when I was in the training camp, but at that time, I thought that she wasnt used to such high-intensity training. So, it was normal for her mental health to be in a bad state sometimes But I when was chatting with her just now, she fell asleep halfway through. Her assistant even showed me her itinerary for the past few days. Although it was a little packed, the arrangement was very reasonable. She shouldnt be so tired. Also, when Shanshan was going to be eliminated, it was a little strange. We could still meet each other after the show ended, but she told me to take care. With the guidance of an elder brother like Yun Yi, Yun Wu was not a fool. She was smart and knew what she needed to know, not to mention she had many tricks up her sleeve. She had been noticing Lin Shanchus abnormal behavior, but she never said anything about it. Moreover, she had been in the training camp back then, so she did not have the chance to say it. After hearing those words, Huo Xunzhou said calmly, I understand. Yun Wu thought that Huo Xunzhou did not believe her. A womans intuition is very urate. I trust my intuition. I think Shanshan must be hiding something from us. Its not that I dont believe you. Its gettingte. Rest early. Third Brother? Huo Xunzhou had hung up the phone. Yu Tian could not figure out Huo Xunzhous attitude. However, she was sure that Huo Xunzhou would definitely take care of this matter. On the other end, Huo Xunzhou was lost in thought after hanging up the phone. Big brother? Li MO came downstairs to get some water and found Huo Xunzhou in the kitchen. Huo Xunzhou saw that Li MO was holding a cup in his hand, so he picked up the kettle and gestured for Li MO to put down the cup and pour him some water. Li MO ced the cup on the countertop. Huo Xunzhous expression was still solemn when he poured him a cup of water. What happened? Li MO asked. Wu called me just now, said Huo Xunzhou thoughtfully. He called her Wu again? Did the two siblings reconcile? What did she say? Li MO heaved a sigh of relief. Its about Shanshan. Huo Xunzhous gaze rested unfocused somewhere. Miss Lin? Li MO was even more confused. Huo Xunzhou had talked for a long time, but he did not mention what had happened to her. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou looked up at him and asked.. You still cant find her medical records? Chapter 259 - 259: Yes, Something Intimate Chapter 259: Yes, Something Intimate Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou had known Lin Shanchu longer than Yunwu did. Naturally, he had noticed the abnormality in Lin Shanchus body earlier than Yun Wu did. Moreover, they first met in the hospital. He had always known that she was sick. However, she usually disguised herself very well. If it was not for the difort, Yun Wu Wu would not have noticed her condition. Judging from Lin Shanchus reaction, he could tell that she was well aware of her bodys condition. Therefore, Huo Xunzhou was certain that Lin Shanchu had gone to the hospital for a checkup. He had asked Li MO to check Lin Shanchul s medical records at the hospital where she was previously hospitalized. However, the medical records only stated that Lin Shanchu was injured in a fall. After that, he asked Li MO to check all the hospitals in Xu City, but he never found her medical records. I still cant find anything. Speaking of this, Li MO couldnt help but sigh. Big Brother, I keep feeling that this matter is very strange! Miss Lin must have gone to the hospital for a check-up, but Ive searched every hospital in Xu City like looking for a needle in a haystack for the past two months, but I couldnt find anything. The more Li MO spoke, the more iprehensible he felt. Ive even checked all tnemunity nospltals. Huo Xunzhou thought for a moment and said, Expand the scope then. Alright, Ill check the surrounding cities as well. Li MO did not believe this impossible matter. He had to settle this matter no matter what. The next morning, Lin Shanchu received a call from Nan Mu. Im free this morning, so Ille to your house to talk about your work. It was a poorly constructed lie. Nan Mu was basically in charge of the daily affairs of Tianzhou media and was very busy every day. It would be somewhat believable if he said that he had made time toe over. However, Lin Shanchu did not expose him. After all, Nan Mu had cooperated with her and helped her a lot. Alright. Nan Mu, who had been worried that he would not be able to fool Lin Shanchu, let out a sigh of relief at her words. Dont worry, we wont stay long. Well leave after lunch. He rarely visited her, so he had to freeload a meal before leaving. Since Nan Mu had spilled the beans, Lin Shanchu did not hold back either. Ille with my assistant. Nan Mu forced augh. After he finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone. An hourter, Lin Shanchu opened the door and saw three men outside. Finally, her gaze fell on Nan Mu. When did President Huo be your assistant? Lin Shanchu asked in a sincere tone as she opened her eyes wide and looked at him. Nan Mu started to make things up. My assistant has business to attend to all of a sudden. Why is Third Brother here? Yun Wu poked her head out from behind Lin Shanchu. Yun Wu, you are here too, Nan Mu spoke as he walked in with a smile. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and turned to walk inside. Since they were already here, she could not possibly kick them out. Talking about work was just a cover-up. Nan Mu asked Lin Shanchu directly, Shanshan, what are we going to have for lunch? Since he was already here, of course he would have a big meal before leaving. Lin Shanchu turned around and asked Yunwu. What do you want to eat? Yunwu wanted to eat everything. She frowned and thought for a long time, but she still felt that it was difficult to make a choice. Huo Xunzhou said softly, You should ask her what she doesnt eat. Yun Wu immediately looked up and said, I dont eat onions. Li MO, who had been silent after entering the house, also came over and said eagerly, Miss Lin, Im not picky. I eat anything. Nan Mu echoed, Me too, me too! Lin Shanchu was speechless. She felt that these three men were purely here to freeload lunch. Their enthusiastic looks of freeloading lunch was almost on par with Yun Wu. Nan Mu enthusiastically drove out and bought a lot of groceries. He Xiang and Yun Wu went into the kitchen to help Lin Shanchu. Nan Mu and Huo Xunzhou were chatting while Li MO wandered around the kitchen from time to time. When Nan Mu went out to answer a call, Li MO whispered, Big Brother, I think Miss Lin is quite normal and energetic. She doesnt seem to be seriously ill. Huo Xunzhou nced at him. Li MO realized that he sounded like he was scolding Lin Shanchu. He quickly changed his tune. What I mean is she doesnt look like a patient. Is it possible that shes not sick? Impossible. Huo Xunzhou sounded very certain. Oh. If Huo Xunzhou said that Lin Shanchu was sick, then she must be sick. It must be his own problem that he could not find the medical records. He had to investigate a few more hospitalster. While eating lunch, Lin Shanchu noticed that Li MO was looking at her. Was there a problem with the dishes? Lin Shanchu tasted the dish that Li MO had eaten the most. There was no problem with the taste. When Li MO noticed Lin Shanchus gaze, he forced a smile to conceal his intention. Miss Lin, you have a good appetite. I think Im much inferior to you. If she remembered correctly, this was Li Mos third bowl of rice. Li MO, who was about to get up for the fourth bowl of rice, said, Actually, Im already full. Ill just eat a little more. Li MO silently got up and went to serve a big bowl of rice. It was really a little more. After lunch, it was the same old routine. Nan Mu and Li MO cleaned up the kitchen and washed the dishes. What are you and Xunzhou doing here today? Huo Xunzhou had called Nan Mu in the middle of the night to tell him that he wanted to Lin Shanchus house today and asked him to make up an excuse to bring them over. To visit Miss Lin. Since Huo Xunzhou did not tell Nan Mu that Lin Shanchu might be sick, he naturally could not tell him the truth. Puzzled, Nan Mu said, Shes fine. Why do you have to visit her? Li MO asked, Why do you care? Nan Mu was speechless. In the living room, He Xiang was talking to Lin Shanchu about the filming in the afternoon. Yun Wu quietly called Huo Xunzhou to the balcony. She cautiously closed the balcony door and called out fawningly, Third Brother. She had guessed that Huo Xunzhou would not ignore Lin Shanchus affairs, but she did not expect him toe to Lin Shanchus house early in the morning. She doesnt look out of the ordinary today, Huo Xunzhou said slowly. He had been observing Lin Shanchu from the moment he entered the house. She looked normal from walking to talking to eating. Its a little strange. Her condition today is much better than yesterday. Yun Wu nodded in agreement. Yun Wu stole a nce at Huo Xunzhou and coaxed him with ttery. Third Brother, it might be because you are here. Shanshan is in a good mood, so her condition has be better. Huo Xunzhou looked up at her emotionlessly, obviously not buying it. Yun Wu thought for a moment before she asked, Why dont we think of a way to get Shanshan to go to the hospital for a checkup? She wont go, unless she is knocked unconscious and taken to the hospital. Then Yun Wu could not think of a solution either. Huo Xunzhou was lost in thoughts. Yun Wus words just now reminded him. At the very beginning when he and Lin Shanchu were not that close, she had tried to get close to him for some reason. Later on, she started to do things to him Yes, something intimate. After that, she started to distance herself from him. Thinking of this, Huo Xunzhou thought of something else.. Chapter 260 - 260: Find Someone She Could Trust Chapter 260: Find Someone She Could Trust Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When he first met Lin Shanchu at the hospital, her health was already in a terrible state. Later, he even saw Lin Shanchu faint at Yong Shui Pavilion. At that time, Lin Shanchu was clearly terminally ill. After that, Lin Shanchu did not stay in the hospital or consult a doctor, but her physical condition gradually improved. Later on, she even participated in My Stage. It was only now that the symptoms of illness began to show up again. No terminally ill patients in this world could be cured without medicine, much less a miracle drug that could restore a terminally ill patient to health in just a few days. Lin Shanchu must be hiding a secret. Yun Wu,e in and eat some fruits. The balcony door suddenly opened with a swoosh and Lin Shanchu walked out of the living room. Great! Yun Wu gave Huo Xunzhou a look and quickly entered the living room. Lin Shanchu turned around and prepared to enter the living room. Huo Xunzhous voice came from behind. Shanshan, do you hate me that much? Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou looking straight at her with a deep and serious gaze. I dont understand what you mean, President Huo. You invited Yun Wu to eat fruits, but not me. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and repeated what she had said to Yun Wu with a different form of address. President Huo,e in and eat some fruits. Huo Xunzhou said with a straight face, No thanks. Im not in a good mood. Puzzled, Lin Shanchu wondered if he was messing with her. Lin Shanchu took a few deep breaths. The words I dont care whether you eat it or not were on the tip of her tongue, but they did not fall from her lips. Alright. Lin Shanchu curled her lip and showed Huo Xunzhou a professional fake smile before walking into the living room without looking back. Before she entered the living room, she mmed the balcony door shut. She looked very angry. Shanshan was still so lively and cute when she was angry. Huo Xunzhou curled his lips slightly. Then, he opened the balcony door and went into the living room in a good mood. Lin Shanchu had to go to the film set of Top Feast in the afternoon, so Huo Xunzhou and his group did not stay long and left quickly. This time, she stayed at the film set for four days. Thest scene was a fight with the illegitimate daughter. The two of them pulled their hair and pped each other, rolling around on the ground. Jian Zhens acting skills were good. Her expression was fierce and vicious, but in reality, she did not use much strength. She was worried that she would really hurt Lin Shanchu, so she was very careful. When the director shouted cut, Jian Zhen was the first to sit up and reach out to help Lin Shanchu up. However, she was shocked when she turned around and saw Lin Shanchus expression. Sister, whats wrong with you? Lin Shanchu knitted her brows with a pale and anemic face, looking like she was in immense pain. Jian Zhen helped her up in a panic, Did I exert too much force just now and hurt you? Lin Shanchu endured the pain and said softly, No, its just a stomachache. He Xiang ran over with the medicine. As she fed Lin Shanchu the medicine, she whispered, 1 told you to go to the hospital for a checkup, but you just refused to go Lin Shanchu took the medicine obediently as she said, Its not that serious. Theres no need to go to the hospital. Since He Xiang could not persuade her, she could only give up. Qi Cheng had other things to attend to and did not stay at the film set every day. However, he had told Lin Shanchu that he woulde to pick them up today. When Qi Cheng saw Lin Shanchus pale face, he asked, Whats wrong? He Xiang said, Shes having a stomachache He Xiang wanted Qi Cheng to persuade Lin Shanchu, but Lin Shanchu interrupted her. This small illness is nothing serious. Lets go back first. Im a little tired. Lin Shanchu got into the car and put on the sleep mask, preparing to sleep. He Xiang and Qi Cheng got into the car quietly. They did not make a sound, afraid of disturbing her. Lin Shanchu did not sleep. She could not sleep at all. She put on the sleep mask just to conceal her emotions better. She had been having painful episodes every day since she entered the film set few days ago. Fortunately, she managed to endure it. However, the pain held her back in work. She had to think of a way to get some painkillers. However, if she went to buy medicine herself, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not be discovered by others. To be on the safe side, she had to find someone she could trust to help her. In the past few days when Lin Shanchu had been filming at the film set, the entertainment industry had been quite peaceful and no major incidents had happened. Other than a few unknown celebrities revealing their rtionships, there was nothing else worth reporting. Therefore, Wen Huan had been ying games at home in the past few days. He had been eating takeouts, stayed upte and slept during the day. After he finished another game, he realized that it was already lunchtime, so he picked up his phone and prepared to order takeout. A new WeChat message was disyed on the phone screen. Wen Huan clicked it open and saw that it was a message from Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu: [What are you doing?] Wen Huan: [Im going to eat lunch. Youre out?] Lin Shanchu: [Do you want to know the follow-up plot of Top Feast?] Wen Huan: [Didnt you say that spoilers are prohibited?] Lin Shanchu: [Youre going to treat me to a meal.] Wen Huan stared at the message for a long time. Did Lin Shanchu mean that as long as he treated her to a meal, she would give him a spoiler? This deal was worth it. Wen Huan replied straightforwardly: [Okay! What do you want to eat?] Lin Shanchu: [Anything.] Wen Huan: [Where to eat?] Lin Shanchu: [You choose.] Wen Huan: What was wrong with this female celebrity? Was she that casual? It was 5:00 p.m. when Lin Shanchu and the others returned home. He Xiang took a simple shower and changed into her home clothes before she started to tidy her clothes. After a while, she heard movement behind her. She turned around and saw that Lin Shanchu was wearing casual clothes. Sister Lin, are you going out? Im going to have dinner with a friend. Which friend? Wen Huan. He Xiang wanted to say something but she bit her tongue. Lin Shanchu really made friends with that reporter Do you want me to drive you? In fact, He Xiang was worried that Lin Shanchu would not be able to handle the reporters alone if she encountered them outside. No need. Wen Huan wille and pick me up. Lin Shanchu walked to the door. Then, she changed her shoes as she said, Dont worry, he is a reporter. He knows how to avoid the paparazzi. Lin Shanchu saw an old car as soon as she stepped out of the neighborhood. That was not Wen Huans car. Lin Shanchu took out her phone and called Wen Huan. At this moment, Wen Huan poked his head out of the dpidated car. Over here! Lin Shanchu walked over and asked thoughtfully, Why are you getting poorer and poorer? Wen Huan was silent for two seconds before he said, I was worried that I would meet someone in the same industry, so I specially rented a dpidated car! Youre so smart. Lin Shanchu smiled before she opened the car door and sat inside. Wen Huan was speechless at how fast she changed her tune. When Lin Shanchu was putting on the seatbelt, Wen Huan asked her eagerly, Whats the plot after that? Will the illegitimate daughter die? Lin Shanchu replied, Lets talk about it when we get there. Alright! Wen Huan started the car. Wen Huan took Lin Shanchu to a small restaurant located in an old residential area.. Chapter 261 - 261: You Are the First Chapter 261: You Are the First Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The restaurants decoration was simple and clean, and there was a terrace. All the customers were residents nearby. Most of the residents in the old residential area were elderlies. They did not pay attention to celebrities like young people, so they naturally did not notice Lin Shanchu. The two of them found a seat at the corner of the terrace and sat down. Looking out, they saw the quiet street. Lin Shanchu stared at the streetscape in a daze. Wen Huan ordered the dishes and urged her, Hurry up and tell me, will the illegitimate daughter die? Lin Shanchu turned around and slowly picked up the cup. Hurry up and tell me, Wen Huan urged her anxiously. Tell what? Lin Shanchu smiled. Wen Huan replied, Didnt you say that youd give me a spoiler if I treated you to a meal? Lin Shanchu exined seriously, But I remember that I only told you to treat me to a meal. I didnt say that I was going to give you a spoiler. You Wen Huan was tongue-tied as he angrily pointed at her. Then, he continued, Hou can you go back on your word? This meal is on me, Lin Shanchu said calmly. Tell me, why did you lure me out here? Wen Huan crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes to size up Lin Shanchu, trying to read her thoughts through her expression. He really could not understand female celebrities nowadays. She did not tell him directly when something happened and even lured him out with a spoiler. Lin Shanchu held the cup with both hands and said slowly, I need your help to me buy some medicine. What medicine? Wen Huan looked at her suspiciously. Is it legal? She had a manager and an assistant, and there were many people who could help her buy medicine. However, she had toe to him for help. Something was wrong. Lin Shanchu leaned forward and whispered, Strong painkillers. Medicine like morphines? Wen Huan frowned and sized her up. Whos going to take this kind of medicine? Lin Shanchu clenched her fists before she loosened them. After a moment of silence, she made up her mind and said, Me. Wen Huan subconsciously thought about the scope of use of morphines. Shortly afterwards, his face darkened. It was an opioid for treating severe pain. It was generally used for neuropathic pain in post-surgery, post-paraplegia and cancer pain. Lin Shanchu before his eyes had not undergone surgery and her limbs were still intact. He looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. The corners of his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to ask her the reason but he dare not do so. Yes, its cancer. Lin Shanchus casual tone made it seem like she did not really care about this matter. This was the first time Lin Shanchu had told anyone about her illness. It was not as difficult as she had imagined. She even felt a little rxed. However, Wen Huan suddenly became angry. If youre sick, you should go and get treated. Whats the use of taking painkillers? Wen Huan in front of her had never gone through thick and thin with her. However, he was still kind enough to care for her. It cant be cured. I still have a lot of things to do, so I dont want to waste time in the hospital, Lin Shanchu spoke softly to him, trying tofort him. Wen Huan realized that Lin Shanchu was a patient, so he should not have been so fierce. His tone softened as he said, What is more important than your life? Wen Huan, I have something that I must do. To me, these things are more important than my life. Wen Huan was silent for a long time. Does anyone else know about your illness? Lin Shanchu replied, Other than myself, you are the first. Wen Huan looked slightly stunned as he asked the question on his mind, You trust me that much? Yeah. Lin Shanchuughed lightly with a rising tone, looking excited as if she was talking about something happy. Wen Huans heart skipped a beat and was unable to calm down. He asked, How do I give it to you after I get the medicine? Lin Shanchu had gone to such great lengths to ask for his help in buying the medicine. Naturally, she wanted to hide it from the others. Lin Shanchu smiled. She knew that Wen Huan would definitely understand her and help her. Mail it to me. Ill mail it to you as soon as possible. He did not know how much pain cancer patients were in. However, he knew that if Lin Shanchu had not reached an unbearable state, she would not havee to him. The next morning, Lin Shanchu was woken up by the rm clock. In the past, she could wake up naturally without an rm clock, but now she could no longer do so. When she opened the door and went out, He Xiang happened to walk towards her. Sister Lin, I was just about to wake you up for breakfast. He Xiang turned around and went to the dining room with her. He Xiang stopped in her tracks after walking halfway through. By the way, Sister Lin, when did you buy something? A parcel was couriered early in the morning. Where is it? She did not expect that Wen Huan would act so quickly. He Xiang passed the parcel to Lin Shanchu and went to the kitchen to serve breakfast. Lin Shanchu nced in the direction of the kitchen. After confirming that He Xiang had entered the kitchen, she turned around and returned to her bedroom with the parcel in her arms. There was a pile of bottles on the coffee table. They were dietary supplements that He Xiang had bought for Lin Shanchu. They were all vitamins, fish oil and the like. Lin Shanchu took a bottle in passing. After returning to the bedroom, she locked the door before opening the parcel. A stack of photos greeted her eyes. They were all photos of her that Wen Huan had taken before. Lin Shanchu moved the photos away and saw a bottle of medicine lying underneath. Lin Shanchu smiled. Wen Huan was quite cautious. She tore off thebel on the bottle and poured all the vitamins into the toilet bowl. Then, she filled the empty bottle with painkillers. Sister Lin? He Xiangs voice came from outside. Iming. Lin Shanchu put the vitamin bottle into the drawer and turned to Ieave. He Xiang was sitting in front of the dining room and scrolling through her phone. When she saw Lin Shanchuing over, she said excitedly, Sister Lin, there is a gossip. Lin Shanchu guessed that this gossip might have something to do with her, but still she cooperatively asked, What gossip? Lu Shiyuan signed Xia Jinmeng to Lu Corporation. He Xiang handed her phone to Lin Shanchu. It was indeed this matter. The hastag #XiaJinmengSignedAContractWithLuCorporation was trending. The official Weibo of Lu Corporations artist department and Xia Jinmeng jointly announced the signing of the contract. Many marketing ounts even promoted the topic. The lineup is quite big. Lin Shanchu returned the phone to He Xiang. Sister Lin, why arent you surprised at all? He Xiang asked. Actually, Im quite surprised. She had long known that Lu Shiyuan had signed Xia Jinmeng, but she did not expect he would make such a bigmotion during the official announcement. He even deliberately bought the trending search. It was not difficult to guess Lu Shiyuans thoughtshe deliberately supported Xia Jinmeng because she and Xia Jinmeng did not get along well. He signed Xia Jinmeng to Lu Corporation partly because of his selfishness and partly because he wanted to annoy Lin Shanchu. He Xiang was speechless as she really could not tell it. Lin Shanchu urged He Xiang, Hurry up and eat. After youre done, Ill take you to the frontline to savor the most trending gossip. Youre going to Lu Corporation? He Xiangs eyes brightened. Yes. Lin Shanchu said slowly, My fianc signed a female artist behind my back. I have to go back to Lu Corporation to see whats going on anyway.. Chapter 262 - 262: Nice to Meet You, Sister-in-law! Chapter 262: Nice to Meet You, Sister-inw! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ill let Brother Qi know. He Xiang excitedly took out her phone on the spot and called Qi Cheng. As aizen who loved gossips in the industry, there was nothing more exciting than savoring the most trending, authentic andtest gossip on the front line. He Xiang put Qi Cheng on speaker. Qi Chengs voice came from the phone. Both of you stay at home for a while. I have to go out for a while. Ill be back in about an hour or so. After that, Ill apany both of you to Lu Corporation. He Xiang did not say anything. Instead, she looked up at Lin Shanchu and asked for her opinion. Lin Shanchu said loudly, Brother Qi, go get busy if you have something to attend to. You dont have toe personally. Just arrange a few bodyguards for me. She was now in poor health and her temper turned worse. If she had a conflict with Lu Shiyuan, she would not be able to win. Qi Cheng replied, Alright. Qi Cheng had strong execution ability. He quickly arranged bodyguards for Lin Shanchu. He Xiang opened the door and saw a row of tall and mighty bodyguards standing neatly outside. She couldnt help but exim. The bodyguards were very polite and said in unison, Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you all. He Xiang waved at them in a daze. The bodyguards were all tall and mighty. When they stood in a row in an orderly manner, there was a little strong sense of oppression. He Xiang dared not go out. She turned around and called Lin Shanchu, Sister Lin! Iming. Lin Shanchu was putting a vitamin bottle containing painkillers into her bag. He Xiang was very pleased that Lin Shanchu was finally willing to eat dietary supplements. Lin Shanchu walked to the door with her bag. The bodyguards bowed in unison and shouted loudly, Nice to meet you, Sister-inw! It was Lin Shanchus first time seeing such a scene. She turned her head and winked at He Xiang, trying to ask her what was going on. He Xiang shook her head dumbfoundedly. Why do you guys call me Sister-inw? Qi Cheng had always been reliable in work. Which part of the process went wrong? The leading bodyguard said, Brother Lis sister-inw is our sister-inw! Lin Shanchu asked, Who is Brother Li? Lin Shanchu and Li MO did not interact much, but she could tell that Li MO was quite skilled, as if he had been in the underworld before. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that Li MO had been doing pretty well in the underworld. Otherwise, he would not have so many underlings. However, did Li MO often tell others in private that she was his sister-inw? Lin Shanchu thought about it seriously. If she denied it directly, Li MO would probably lose face in front of these underlings. Hence, she said very tactfully, Im a public figure after all. If you call me sister-inw outside, it will cause a misunderstanding. The bodyguards spoke in unison and shouted, Miss Lin! Lin Shanchu said, You may lower your voices when you speak. A bodyguard immediately lowered his voice and answered, Alright. Miss Lin, would you like to leave now? Lin Shanchu nodded, grabbed He Xiangs arm and walked outside. On the way to Lu Corporation, someone called Lin Shanchu. Looking at the familiar number, Lin Shanchu thought for a while. Only then did she remember the owner of this number. She did not pick up the phone. Instead, she hung up directly. The person on the other end of the phone did not give up and called again soon. Lin Shanchu still hung up the phone this time. However, she did not give this person a third chance to call her. She immediately blocked this number. He Xiangs eyes were filled with curiosity as she watched Lin Shanchus actions. Anyway, were going to meet soon, so lets not waste time answering the phone. After sending Wen Huan a WeChat message, Lin Shanchu tossed her phone aside. The car stopped at the entrance of Lu Corporation. He Xiang followed Lin Shanchus line of sight and looked out the window. Isnt that Qiao Jiaxi? Lin Shanchu casually unbuckled the seatbelt and said, Its her. Qiao Jiaxi was the one who had called her just now. President Lin, youre here. When Qiao Jiaxi saw Lin Shanchu, she came up to her with a warm expression. He Xiang pursed her lips. When Lin Shanchu came to Lu Corporationst time, she had a private chat with Qiao Jiaxi. Obviously, they did not have a pleasant chat. After that, Qiao Jiaxi left angrily. Now, she was trying to curry favor with Lin Shanchu. How shameless. Before Qiao Jiaxi could touch Lin Shanchu, He Xiang stopped her. Miss Qiao, do you have business with her? Qiao Jiaxi bypassed He Xiang and walked up to Lin Shanchu. Then, she lowered her voice and asked, Are you here for Xia Jinmengs matter? With Tang Qidai in jail, Qiao Jiaxi thought that her chance hade. During this period of time, she had racked her brains, but it was difficult for her to meet Lu Shiyuan, let alone make him fall in love with her. Moreover, Lu Shiyuan did not like her very much. He had even lost his temper thest time. She had originally nned to be quiet for a while and wait for Lu Shiyuans anger to subside before thinking of a solution. However, she did not expect that what awaited her was the news that Lu Shiyuan had signed Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng was neither an popr idol nor a big shot like Huo Chaosheng. It was not worth Lu Shiyuan personally offering an olive branch to her. Based on a womans intuition, Qiao Jiaxi felt that Lu Shiyuan might have taken a fancy to Xia Jinmeng. Yeah, Lin Shanchu chuckled. Qiao Jiaxi pretended to be concerned about her. President Lu signed Xia Jinmeng with such greatmotion. Arent you afraid that Xia Jinmeng will snatch your position? Qiao Jiaxi was shorter than Lin Shanchu, so Lin Shanchu needed to bend slightly to meet her eyes. Lin Shanchu stared at Qiao Jiaxi, Make it clear. Are you worried that she will snatch my position or that she will snatch yours? Qiao Jiaxi panicked as she said, I Anyway, you signed me into Lu Corporation, so you are considered my benefactor. I wont snatch your position no matter what happens. However, that b*tch Xia Jinmeng is different Lin Shanchu raised an eyebrow. If I remember correctly, you and Xia Jinmeng are childhood friends, right? Didnt that b*tch pick on you back in the training camp? Qiao Jiaxi said disdainfully, Who would want to be childhood friends with such a b*tch? I see. Lin Shanchu slowly straightened up and looked at Xia Jinmeng who was standing behind Qiao Jiaxi. Did you hear that? Your childhood friend scolded you for being a b*tch. Qiao Jiaxi raised her head with a puzzled expression and saw Xia Jinmeng, who had appeared behind her at some point, staring at her with a cold expression. What are you staring at? Qiao Jiaxi snorted coldly, Im scolding you! B*tch! Xia Jinmeng looked furious, but she ignored Qiao Jiaxi and turned to Lin Shanchu. President Lin. Her tone was neither servile nor overbearing, making her appear calm and generous. Qiao Jiaxi, who had been deliberately ignored by Xia Jinmeng, was unhappy. Xia Jinmeng! Drop the pretense! Xia Jinmengs face was full of disdain as she shot Qiao Jiaxi a cold nce. Qiao Jiaxi waspletely enraged by this look. She raised her hand and pped Xia Jinmengs face. Xia Jinmeng did not dodge the p.. Qiao Jiaxi felt that it was strange, but still she said smugly, At least you know your ce! Chapter 263 - 263: To Check the Results Chapter 263: To Check the Results Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion However, the smug look on Qiao Jiaxis face did notst long. She watched helplessly as Lu Shiyuan suddenly walked out from behind Xia Jinmeng. Lu Shiyuan first observed the half of Xia Jinmengs face that had been pped by Qiao Jiaxi. Then, his face darkened as he stared daggers at Qiao Jiaxi. Exin to me, what do you mean by at least you know your ce? His voice was harsh and somber, making Qiao Jiaxi pale in an instant. I President Lu, let me exin. I just Qiao Jiaxi pleaded as she tried to pull Lu Shiyuans arm. Lu Shiyuan shook off Qiao Jiaxis hand forcefully. For a moment, she lost her bnce and fell to the ground. I dont want to see you again! Lu Shiyuan looked at Qiao Jiaxi with extreme disgust. At this moment, Xia Jinmeng looked up at Lu Shiyuan. President Lu, this is between Jiaxi and me. I can solve it myself. Are you saying that Im meddling in your affair? Although Lu Shiyuan grimaced, there was no trace of anger in his tone. All the other women would rush to curry favor with him. However, Xia Jinmeng was different. She seemed to be afraid that he would meddle in her affair. Xia Jinmeng hurriedly shook her head and exined, Thats not what I meant Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmengs interaction stunned He Xiang. What was going on with this ambiguous atmosphere? Lin Shanchu, his fiance, was still present at the scene! He Xiang turned to look at Lin Shanchu with a confused expression. Lin Shanchu gave her an eloquent smile. President Lu, President Lin probably has business with you. Ill go up first. Xia Jinmeng seemed to have suddenly remembered that Lin Shanchu was still present, so she hurriedly went in after finished speaking. Only then did Lu Shiyuan turn to look at Lin Shanchu. His gaze was cold and provocative. Those who did not know better would think that he had done something amazing. Lin Shanchu sneered and nced at Qiao Jiaxi, who still had not gotten up after Lu Shiyuan pushed her to the ground. She ordered the bodyguards. Help Miss Qiao up. After all, shes a signed artist of Lu Corporation. Dont embarrass Lu Corporation. Her words were directed at the bodyguards, but her gaze fell on Lu Shiyuan. Her intention was clear. She did not care at all that Lu Shiyuan was flirting with two women in public. What she cared about was the reputation of Lu Corporation. The bodyguards stepped forward and helped Qiao Jiaxi up like carrying a chick. Lin Shanchu led a group of bodyguards into Lu Corporation building. As soon as she entered the elevator, her phone vibrated. Wen Huan sent her a new photo that he had taken via WeChat. The photo was taken with a mobile phone. Lin Shanchu clicked on it and zoomed in. She realized that the scene in the photo was the exact scene where Lu Shiyuan had pushed Qiao Jiaxi just now. Lin Shanchu replied to him: [Youre quite fast.] Wen Huan: [If you want to snatch the first-hand news, you have to act faster. If theres no problem, Im going to publish the article.] Lin Shanchu: [Yeah.] After thinking for a while, Lin Shanchu asked Wen Huan: [Do you know any financial journalist friends?] Lu Shiyuan saw Lin Shanchu sitting on the sofa as soon as he pushed open the office door. Lin Shanchu was leaningzily on the sofa with her phone in her hand, swiping across the screen with her finger from time to time. Behind her stood a neat row of bodyguards. When did my office be a market? Lu Shiyuan asked deliberately as he nced at the row of bodyguards behind her. I was just going to ask you. Lin Shanchuzily lifted her eyelids and nced at him. President Lu, you signed all kinds of artists with thepany. Do you think Lu Corporation is a market? Lu Shiyuan curled his lip and smiled proudly. Its only natural that I signed artists with potential. Indeed. Lin Shanchu nodded helplessly. The smile on Lu Shiyuans face deepened, but in the next second, the smile on his face froze. Lin Shanchu continued, Thest artist you signed was Tang Qidai, right? She is crying in prison right now, isnt she? Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth and drove her out. Get out! The dignified president of Lu Corporation was flirting with two female artists at thepanys entrance in front of his fiance. President Lu, dont you want to look at this piece of amazing news? Lin Shanchu threw the phone to Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan turned his head and took a look. The video being yed on the screen was of what had happened at the entrance of thepany just now. Lu Shiyuans expression changed. He frowned and took out his phone. He was going to give Zhou Yan a call and order him arrange public rtions. Lin Shanchu gave the bodyguards behind her a look. The bodyguards immediately went forward and snatched Lu Shiyuans phone. Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief as he asked, What is the meaning of this? Lin Shanchu smiled lightly and her eyes were filled with innocence. What do you think? President Lu! Zhou Yans voice faintly sounded from outside. Just as Lu Shiyuan was about to respond to Zhou Yan, he heard Lin Shanchu say, Are you scared? Lu Shiyuan turned around and saw Lin Shanchus disdainful gaze. Naturally, he could not swallow his anger and sneered, Why would I be afraid of you? Lin Shanchu did not say anything and just looked at him calmly. At this moment, Lu Shiyuans phone rang. Miss Lin. A bodyguard showed Lin Shanchu the phone screen. Zhou Yans name was disyed on it. Give it to him. Lin Shanchu signaled the bodyguard to pass the phone to Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan picked up the phone. I have something to discuss with Lin Shanchu. Donte in and disturb me. Lu Shiyuan hung up the phone and sat opposite Lin Shanchu. He stared coldly at Lin Shanchu and said, A trifle like this on the Inte wont affect me at all. Thats right. President Lu, you have experienced difficult times. No matter how big the matter is, you can resolve it, let alone this small scandal. Lin Shanchu stopped and looked at him casually before she continued, But Xia Jinmeng may not be the same. Those people on the Inte can overwhelm her with nders. Lu Shiyuan revealed a look of realization. So this is your true purpose. So what if you signed her? Lin Shanchu said coldly, I can still take care of her, I wont let her off the hook! Lets go! Lin Shanchu stood up and swaggered away with her bodyguards. When she opened the door, she saw Zhou Yan and Xia Jinmeng guarding outside the door. Xia Jinmeng looked into the room with a concerned expression and angrily called out to Lin Shanchu, President Lin, if youre unhappy with me, you cane at me directly! Come at you? Lin Shanchu sneered. Who do you think you are? Lin Shanchu, dont go overboard! Lu Shiyuan immediately went forward to warn her. Lin Shanchu ignored Lu Shiyuan and strode away. After entering the elevator, He Xiang asked softly, Sister Lin, you came today to Lin Shanchu gave an irrelevant answer as she said, To check the results. He Xiang did not understand it, but she did not ask any more questions. Lin Shanchu was very satisfied with the results of todays inspection. The more she targeted Xia Jinmeng, the more Lu Shiyuan would protect her. Next, Lu Shiyuan would definitely invest resources on Xia Jinmeng and make her famous in the shortest time possible.. Chapter 264 - 264: Why Aren ‘t You Fleeing? Do I Have to Drive a Forklift to Stab You? Chapter 264: Why Aren t You Fleeing? Do I Have to Drive a Forklift to Stab You? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Wen Huan took pictures of what happened at the entrance of Lu Corporation and reported it, the matter became trending quickly because the public rtions under Lu Shiyuan did not take action immediately. It sparked heated discussions on the Inte. [Lu Shiyuan, Qiao Jiaxi and Xia Jinmeng? Whats wrong with these three people?] [This is hrious. Are they both Tang Qidai ver. 2.0?] [Obviously, Qiao Jiaxi is just cannon fodder, and Xia Jinmeng is the ver. 2.0.] [Why was Lin Shanchu standing next to them like an onlooker? Hahahaha!] [Amazing. No wonder Lu Shiyuan suddenly signed Xia Jinmeng. It turns out that he has taken a fancy to her] [So Sister Rabbit hasnt broken off the engagement with the disgusting man because she wanted to be an onlooker nearby?] [The rain wont keep falling, but the disgusting man will keep letting people down!] [Im fed up. As expected, men will only stop being lecherous when theyre dead. Anyway, Tang Qidai is already shedding tears behind bars. Lets see what kind of good ending Xia Jinmeng will have] [A trivia: Xia Jinmeng, Tang Qidai and Qiao Jiaxi are childhood friends.] Most of theizens still good core values. Manyizens condemned Xia Jinmeng. A small number ofizens, who were be cruel to be kind, went to Lin Shanchus Weibo page to persuade her. [Why arent you fleeing? Do I have to drive a forklift to stab you?] [Sister Rabbit, are you fleeing or not? If you dont flee, Ill hang myself at the entrance of Lu Corporation.] As theizens tried to persuade her, they started scolding: [There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. I really dont pity you at all.] [Cant you live without Lu Shiyuan?] Although He Xiang did bit understand why Lin Shanchu did not leave Lu Shiyuan, she still felt ufortable when she saw someone condemning Lin Shanchu. She persuaded Lin Shanchu, Sister Lin, ignore them. Theyre just venting their anger. Actually, theyre right, Lin Shanchu said with a carefree expression. He Xiang was speechless. She was being nosy. This time, Lu Shiyuan became more patient. He did not remove the trending topic on the same day. Instead, he took action the next day to remove the relevant videos and articles on the Inte. Lin Shanchu deliberately searched online for a while. Other than Wen Huans article, which had not been deleted, almost all the rted videos and articles had disappeared. They had been properly taken care or. He must have spent a lot of money. Wen Huan called her immediately. Lu Shiyuan offered me money to delete the article. Ask for more money, Lin Shanchu reminded him. Wen Huan seemed to be a little speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, I really dont understand you. Lin Shanchu said, I dont understand you either. You dont even want free money. Do you still want to get a new car? Wen Huan raised his voice and shouted, Ill take it, alright? Ill go ask for it now! Just as Lin Shanchu was about to hang up the phone, she heard Wen Huan stutter, Well Was it useful? Lin Shanchu did not respond for a moment. After thinking for a brief while, she realized that Wen Huan was asking if the medicine was effective. Yes, thank you. Wen Huan was silent for a moment before he said, Tell me if its used up. After a while, Lin Shanchu went online to take a look. Wen Huans article had also been deleted. She even saw aizen asking Wen Huan on his Weibo page: [Why did you delete that article? How could you ept that kind of filthy money?] Wen Huan replied directly: [I was given too much too money. If I hesitated for even a second, itd be disrespectful to the money.] Pfft! He hesitated for more than a second. Although everyone knew that Lu Shiyuan had spent money to remove the trending topic and Weibo posts, Wen Huans reply undoubtedly proved this matter. Lu Shiyuans bad reputation had be even worse because of this. On Monday, when the stock market opened, Lu Corporations shares fell by a few points. Director Li, one of the shareholders of Lu Corporation, called Lin Shanchu. Miss Lin, the stock prices have fallen again today. President Lus recent actions have disappointed us too much. Are you really going to leave him alone and do nothing? Director Li was previously very close to Qiao Jiaxi. Later on, Qiao Jiaxi took a fancy to Lu Shiyuan and rushed to curry favor with him. As a man, Director Li felt that he had lost face, so he hated Lu Shiyuan even more. Director Li, its not that I dont want to take care of him, but my ability alone is really limited, Lin Shanchu said as she pretended to be in a difficult position. During thest shareholders meeting, she had indeed dealt a heavy blow to Lu Shiyuans prestige and dispersed his power. However, Lu Shiyuan was not a good-for-nothing. In addition, the shareholders were all losers, so Lu Shiyuan managed to stabilize the situation. This group of shareholders was no longer useful to her. They were even worse than Xia Jinmeng. Director Li could tell from Lin Shanchus words that she did not want to interfere in Lu Shiyuans affairs anymore. He was anxious and blurted out, Youre President Lus fiance. Hes flirting with other women outside and doesnt take you seriously at all. Are you so cowardly that you dont mind it at all? Director Li, youre an elder, so hand up the phone youself before I say anything that will hurt your reputation. The womans voice was soft and emotionless, but he could feel a chill that made his hair stand on end. Director Li did not dare to say anything else and hung up the phone. He Xiang was watching the variety show at the side,ughing her head off. She noticed that Lin Shanchu had finished the call and reminded her, Sister Lin, did you take your vitamin today? Im going to take it now. Lin Shanchu picked up a bottle of vitamins from the table, unscrewed it, took out a piece and swallowed it. Lin Shanchu curiously leaned over and asked He Xiang, What variety show is so funny? Whenever He Xiang had time these few days, she would watch this variety show andugh out loud. He Xiang moved to the side and pointed at a man on the screen. This person is funny. I think his name is Zong Pei. Zong Pei This name sounded familiar. She remembered him. Wasnt Zong Pei the male idol that Lu Shiyuan was preparing to rece Fu Jue? Is he very popr now? She had been very busy recently and had no time to pay attention to news like this. He Xiang said to her seriously, Hes quite popr recently, especially in this variety show. Hes gained a lot of fans. His personality is so cute. Do you like him? Lin Shanchu asked. He Xiang nodded. I just think hes quite cute. Lin Shanchu kindly reminded her, Dont be a fan of the real person, or else he will let you down easily. Are there gossips about him? He Xiang was stunned. Lin Shanchu thought about it seriously and said, Not yet. Zong Pei was only small trouble at the current stage and it was not worth eliminating him. Lu Shiyuans reputation had been getting worse recently. He probably wanted to quickly promote a few popr artists to achieve some results. Therefore, he would probably y the trump card, Zong Pei, in near future. If nothing unexpected happened, Zong Pei would be popr very soon. Eliminating Zhong Pei after he became popr would yield even greater benefits. After getting along with Lin Shanchu during this period of time, He Xiang had a better understanding of her personality. Lin Shanchu said that there were no gossips about him for the time being, but that did not mean there would be none in the future. The variety show that she found particrly funny just now did not seem nice anymore.. Chapter 265 - 265: You I ve Always Wanted Me to Help You Kill Lu Shiyuan Chapter 265: You I ve Always Wanted Me to Help You Kill Lu Shiyuan Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The plot of Top Feast for this new weeks update was still as exciting as ever. However, Huo Chaosheng did not appear in the episodes this week. The fans who shipped ChuSheng pairing were a little disappointed and went to the official Weibo page to ask when Huo Chaosheng would appear again. The official Weibo pages administrator was also very concerned about the audiences feelings and directly replied: [Next week.] Lin Shanchus recent focus had been on the filming of Top Feast. She would only take on other jobs when she had time after filming. Qi Cheng came to look for Lin Shanchu early in the morning. A magazinepany has invited you to shoot for the cover. And then? If it was just a magazine cover shoot, Qi Cheng would not have rushed over early in the morning to specifically talk about this matter. Qi Cheng cleared his throat and said, They even invited Huo Chaosheng so that both of you can do a duo cover shoot. Lin Shanchu blinked. This magazinepany is quite bold. Qi Cheng said, Whats the big deal? You and Huo Chaosheng are friends as clean as a whistle. Whats wrong with doing a duo cover shoot? Lin Shanchu could tell that Qi Cheng wanted her to take the cover shoot. Im free today. Ill go and meet Huo Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu took the documents from Qi Chengs hands. Ill get going then. Qi Cheng left happily. Shanshan was a little bold, but she was still very sensible. Lin Shanchu had sent Huo Chaosheng a message in advance, saying that she was going to visit him. Huo Chaosheng replied instantly: [Sashimi!] Lin Shanchu: [. ] Huo Chaosheng: [You agreed? Okay.] Lin Shanchu: Huo Chaosheng was still staying at Huo Xunzhous vi. When Lin Shanchu arrived at Huo Xunzhous vi, Huo Chaosheng opened the door. Come in quickly. After Lin Shanchu entered the vi, he subconsciously nced at the parking lot. Huo Xunzhous usual car was not there. He should have gone out. Dont worry, Third Brother is out. Only the servants and I are at home. Huo Chaosheng had a reassuring look on his face. Lin Shanchu said, In other words, if your Third Brother was at home, you wouldnt let mee? Not really. Its mainly because Third Brother wont let me eat sashimi when hes at home. Looking expectant, Huo Chaosheng turned around and asked, You must have brought some for me, right? Lin Shanchu pondered and said, I brought something like a beef heart I knew you wouldnt let me down! But soon, Huo Chaosheng tasted disappointment. After entering the vi, Lin Shanchu took out a thermos sk. Huo Chaosheng watched helplessly as Lin Shanchu opened the thermos sk and took out the steaming hot soup inside. Wheres my sashimi? Huo Chaosheng grimaced as he asked, Didnt you say you brought a beef heart? Lin Shanchu smiled. Beef offal soup. Not only is there beef heart, but theres also beef tripe, beef intestines, and beef tongue Huo Chaosheng snorted and turned his head away, ignoring her. For the sake of Huo Chaoshengs broken leg after he hit Lu Shiyuan with a car, Lin Shanchu patiently advised him, Your Third Brother is my boss after all. He doesnt like me in the first ce. If I brought you sashimi, wouldnt he hate me even more? Tch. Huo Chaosheng said, Drop all pretense. Do you even care if your boss hates you? As expected, patients loved to throw tantrums. It was the same even for a psychopath. Lin Shanchu did not bother to coax him anymore. She stood up and pretended to put away the thermos sk. Forget it if you are not going to drink it. Wait a minute. Huo Chaosheng spoke up and stopped her. Lin Shanchu looked up. Huo Chaosheng pursed his lips and asked, Did you make it? It was simmered in a y pot for two hours. Although she did not agree with Huo Chaoshengs way of doing things and had indeed used him, she was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart. Dazed, Huo Chaosheng stared at Lin Shanchu for a while. Why are you being so nice to me? His tone was full of doubt and his eyes were filled with confusion, like a child who had encountered a great problem but could not think of a solution. Yun Yi and Huo Chaosheng were Huo Xunzhous cousins. Yun Yi had charming eyes, but Huo Chaosheng did not have them. However, Huo Chaosheng looked more like Huo Xunzhou. It was obvious at a nce that both of them were close brothers. Lin Shanchu asked thoughtfully, Does making soup for you mean Im being nice to you? Huo Chaosheng snorted coldly, No one else has made soup for me except you. Didnt your mother make soup for you before? Lin Shanchu noticed that Huo Chaoshengs expression changed right after she asked this question. Huo Chaoshengs face was filled with disgust as if he had heard something extremely unpleasant. Shes dead. Im sorry. Seeing Lin Shanchus apologetic face, Huo Chaosheng added, Shes dead in my heart. Lin Shanchu frowned in bewilderment. Was she dead or not? Huo Chaosheng did not seem to want to continue this topic, so he shouted, I want to drink soup! Wait here. Lin Shanchu went to the kitchen to get him a spoon. Huo Chaosheng was very serious when drinking the soup. He held the bowl with his left hand and put the spoon into his mouth with his right hand without spilling a single drop, looking elegant and noble. After finishing the soup, hezily watched Lin Shanchu clean up the thermos sk and suddenly said, Actually, I know everything. What do you know? Lin Shanchu asked but she did not pay much attention to Huo Chaosheng. He was a lunatic to begin with, so it was normal for him to drop a bombshell all of a sudden. It was until she heard Huo Xunzhou say, Youve always wanted me to help you kill Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchus hands stopped moving suddenly. When did you find out? Probably Huo Chaosheng thought about it carefully before he answered, Was it after I fought with Lu Shiyuan? As he spoke, he noticed the change in Lin Shanchus expression. Then, he looked happy and immediately asked, Im on the mark, right? Yes, Lin Shanchu admitted directly. Huo Xunzhou was even happier when he heard what she said. Youre right. Its true that were not the same kind. You want to use me from the bottom of your heart, and youre grateful to me from the bottom of your heart. Youre a humane person. Lin Shanchu asked, Are youplimenting me? Of course. Huo Chaosheng nodded seriously. What a uniquepliment. When Lin Shanchu saw his natural expression, she asked, Dont you get angry even when youre being used? After saying that, he added, Including Third Brother. Lin Shanchus expression froze. You are surprised, arent you? Huo Chaosheng asked with a strange smile, Do you want to know what Third Brother wants from me? At this moment, Huo Chaosheng dropped the act and showed his true colors. There was a crazed look in his eyes. Lin Shanchu could not see through Huo Chaosheng at this moment. However, she was a little moved by Huo Chaoshengs words. What did Huo Xunzhou want from Huo Chaosheng? Huo Chaosheng seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said bewitchingly, I can tell you if you want to know.. Chapter 266 - 266: Outdo Each Other With Their Schemes Chapter 266: Outdo Each Other With Their Schemes Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu felt that she had underestimated Huo Chaosheng. It was an undeniable fact that the Huo familys genes were really good. Huo Xunzhou was so smart that he seemed to have ten brains, whereas Huo Chaosheng was scheming. This pair of cousins tried to outdo each other with their schemes. She did not want to get involved in the conflict. I dont want to know. Lin Shanchu mercilessly rejected his suggestion. Huo Chaosheng, who had been calm just a moment ago, suddenly became anxious. Dont you normal people have any curiosity? What do you mean by you normal people? Lin Shanchu was not very satisfied with his statement. Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrows. Normal people with humanity. Speechless, Lin Shanchu did not want to argue with a pervert. Their views were different, so it would be pointless to argue with him. Huo Chaosheng tried to persuade her. Ive never told anyone about this matter. Youre the first one to know. You can use this to threaten Third Brother. Lin Shanchuughed and leaned over to look at Huo Chaosheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair. She looked straight into Huo Chaoshengs eyes. Under Huo Chaoshengs expectant gaze, she mischievously said, Im not interested. Huo Chaosheng was furious as he stammered, You Chaosheng. Huo Xunzhous voice suddenly came from behind. Huo Chaosheng panicked and immediately pushed Lin Shanchu away. Third brother, she insisted oning to meet me. I didnt ask her toe. His eagerness to cut ties with Lin Shanchu could be regarded as a model of virtuous man. Hmph, men! Lin Shanchu turned around with a gentle and distant look on her face. Yes, President Huo. I was the one who insisted oning to meet Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng gave Lin Shanchu a look, hinting that she was sensible. Lin Shanchu harshly rolled her eyes at him. Huo Chaosheng felt that Lin Shanchu was looking down on him more and more. How interesting. As Huo Xunzhou watched the interaction between the two of them, his emotionless expression became even colder. Do you still have business with him, Miss Lin? Huo Xunzhou was asking her to leave. Lin Shanchu was not annoyed and kept herposure. I have onest thing to tell Huo Chaosheng. Oh, Huo Chaosheng replied indifferently. Then, he stared at her, trying to signal her to leave quickly after saying what she wanted to say. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath and took out a magazine from her bag before handing it to Huo Chaosheng. A magazine publisher wants to invite the two of us to take a duo cover shoot together. Take a look at it and consider whether you want to go or not. Got it. Hurry up and leave. Huo Chaosheng peeked at Huo Xunzhou, looking impatient. Lin Shanchu curled her lip and showed a professional fake smile. Goodbye. Just as she turned around, she heard Huo Chaoshengs fawning voice from behind her. Third Brother, shes going to leave. Puzzled, she began to suspect that Huo Chaosheng had lied to her just now. If Huo Xunzhou really wanted to get something out of Huo Chaosheng, Huo Xunzhou should be the one to humble himself. However, why was Huo Chaosheng acting like a bootlicker? Huo Xunzhou said, Shes a guest. See her off. No, no. Huo Chaosheng was afraid that Huo Xunzhou would misunderstand him as he said, Isnt my leg broken? Its not convenient. To show his determination, he turned his wheelchair towards the elevator after finished speaking. Lin Shanchus lips twitched as she hastened her pace. It would be a pity if Huo Chaoshengs acting skills were not used for filming. He Xiang was waiting for Lin Shanchu in the car outside. When Lin Shanchu walked toward the car, Li MOs voice came from behind. Miss Lin. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Li MO running up to her. Big Brother asked me to see you off. Lin Shanchuughed emotionlessly. Are those bodyguards okay for you? Li MO scratched his head. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Then, she resisted the urge to correct his choice of words and said with a smile, They are pretty good, strong and good at fighting. Thank you. Miss Lin, youre wee. Li MO said sincerely, Just let me know if you need anything in the future. Lin Shanchu nodded. Ill be leaving now. Lin Shanchu received a WeChat message from Huo Chaosheng as soon as she got into the car. Huo Chaosheng replied: [Please dont mind what happened just now. I didnt know that Third Brother would suddenlye back. I had no choice.] Lin Shanchu stared at this message for a long time. However, it was difficult for her to guess Huo Chaoshengs attitude from his words through the cold screen. Lin Shanchu had never thought that Huo Chaosheng would discover her intention to use him to kill Lu Shiyuan so early on. It also meant that Huo Chaosheng was not stupid at all. He was very smart. However, why did he look like his brain had been eaten by a zombie when he was in front of Huo Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu tentatively asked: [Does your Third Brother really hate me that much?] Huo Chaosheng quickly replied: [Of course. Third Brother may have an ulterior motive toward me just like you, but his concern for me is real.] The statement seemed to make sense. Forget it. She should not dwell on this matter. Lin Shanchu: [Oh.] Lin Shanchu sent another message to remind him: [Remember to take a look at the information in the magazine.] Huo Chaosheng: [Are you going to do the shoot?] Lin Shanchu: [Huh?] Huo Chaosheng replied: [If youre going to do the shoot, Ill do it too.] Lin Shanchuughed. [Alright.] Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng signed a contract with the magazinepany. The magazinepany immediately posted a teaser on their official Weibo page that the two of them were going to do the duo cover shoot together. Lin Shanchus fans rushed over immediately. [Its Sister Rabbits first cover shoot. Arrange it properly.] Huo Chaoshengs fans also arrived at the scene. [Its Huo Chaosheng first time doing a cover shoot with a female. The other party is also good friends with him. This cooperation will definitely be very pleasant.] The fans of the both sides were very cautious in theirments. However, the shippers were more unrestrained. [A public disy of affection?] [Sisters! Its the New Year!] [Im looking forward to it. Hahahahaha!] The rest of theizensmented: [Lu Shiyuan has been intimate with other female artists, so she can only do a cover shoot with her good friend.] [I finally understand. These two people are trying to cuckold each other.] [I understand now. The entertainment industry is full of cuckolds.] [Please tune in to the entertainment industrysrge-scale drama series The Years When I Cuckold My Fianc.] As long as Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng got together, Lu Shiyuan would be mocked by theizens. Lu Shiyuan wanted the public rtions to remedy the situation. However, Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaoshengs poprity was too high. If the public rtions had to deal with these gossips on the Inte, he would need to spend more money. Spending money was secondary. Most importantly, once the public rtions dealt with these gossips, theizens would naturally guess that it was Lu Shiyuans doing. When that time came, theizens would definitely take this opportunity to mock him again. There was no way for the public rtions deal with the gossips. He could not get the public rtions take action either! Aggrieved, Lu Shiyuan could only shift his focus to other things. He called Zong Peis manager into the office. Has Zong Peis poprity kept up with the market recently? Dont worry, President Lu. Its all been kept up. The market response is also rtively good, especially in this variety show recently. Zong Pei has gained a lot of fans.. Chapter 267 - 267: The Male Lead Must Be Physically and Mentally Clean Chapter 267: The Male Lead Must Be Physically and Mentally Clean Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Zong Peis manager finished speaking, she quietly waited for Lu Shiyuans next instructions. She waited for a while, but Lu Shiyuan did not speak again. Instead, he looked like he was lost in thought. President Lu, are there any changes to Zong Peis arrangements? she asked tentatively. Lu Shiyuan said, Since Zong Peis poprity is on the rise, let him guide the newbies. The manager did not agree with Lu Shiyuans arrangement. If Zong Pei had to guide neers right after he was on the rise, he would lose his poprity. However, judging from Lu Shiyuans tone, it was obvious that he had made up his mind. Naturally, she did not dare to question his decision. President Lu, may I ask whom would you like Zong Pei to guide? Xia Jinmeng. The manager thought that it turned out to be Tang Qidai ver. 2.0. When Tang Qidai was around, everyone knew how much support Lu Shiyuan gave to her. Now, Tang Qidai ver. 2.0 showed up. How unlucky. The managerined inwardly, but she did not show it on the surface. Alright, we will fully cooperate with her when the timees. Go do your work. Lu Shiyuan was very satisfied with the managers attitude. Before Lin Shanchu joined the filmset of Top Feast again, she freed up a day to do the cover shoot. Huo Chaosheng, sitting in a wheelchair, was taken to the studio by Huo Xunzhou, who was also sitting in a wheelchair. Just like before, Lin Shanchu was polite yet distant as she greeted him, President Huo. Huo Xunzhou looked at her carefully for a moment before responding in a low voice. Then, he turned to Huo Chaosheng with an indifferent look on his face and reminded, You have to be careful with the injury on your leg. Ille and see you after Im done. Alright, Ill be careful. Huo Chaosheng nodded vigorously, as obedient as a primary school student. As soon as Huo Xunzhou left, Huo Chaosheng boasted to Lin Shanchu, Third Brother cares about me so much, doesnt he? Lin Shanchu no longer wanted to discuss this issue with him. Therefore, she remained silent. Huo Chaosheng asked, Youre actually jealous of me, arent you? I am a little jealous, Lin Shanchu replied frankly. If only she had an elder brother like Huo Xunzhou, she would not have ended up like this. Dont worry, Huo Chaoshengforted her. When my injury is healed, I will continue to help you kill Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu replied, Thank you. Its not a big deal. Huo Chaosheng changed the topic and asked, When are you going to cook me another beef offal soup? It turned out that he would help her kill someone just for the soup. The voice of a staff member came from the other end. Teacher Huo, Teacher Lin, please get ready. Its going to start soon. Im going to touch up my makeup. Lin Shanchu took advantage of the situation and left. Huo Chaosheng, who used to be a member of a top boy band, was very capable in business. He had done countless cover shoots, so he was very experienced and could even guide Lin Shanchu. In addition, he was very cooperative. Hence, the filming went smoothly and ended earlier than expected. After the shoot ended, the magazinepany arranged a dinner party. Lin Shanchu was going to enter the film set the next day and there were no any other activities at night, so Qi Cheng told her to agree to the dinner party. When Huo Chaosheng heard that Lin Shanchu was going to the dinner party, he wanted to follow her. Isnt your Third Brothering? Lin Shanchu reminded him coldly, Arent you going to keep your distance from me? Speak of the devil. As soon as Lin Shanchu finished speaking, Huo Xunzhou appeared at the door. The sensible employees of the magazinepany sensible call their boss over after learning that Huo Xunzhou woulde to the venue. The boss personally went up to Huo Xunzhou and asked, We finished work early today. We are going to hold a dinner party. President Huo, I wonder if you are free tonight. Huo Xunzhou did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to Huo Chaosheng. Chaosheng, are you free tonight? Yes, Huo Chaosheng replied immediately. Huo Xunzhou then turned to look at the boss. We will join you then. Thank you for the honor, President Huo. The boss smiled with his eyes closed. He could brag about it for years if he could invite Huo Xunzhou to a dinner party. When they left, Huo Chaosheng did not forget to give Lin Shanchu a proud look. Lin Shanchu was speechless. The people in the industry had fixed ces for dinner. The boss wanted to make a reservation at Yong Shui Pavilion because he managed to invite Huo Xunzhou. Unfortunately, he failed to make a reservation, so he had to choose another restaurant. When they entered the restaurant, the boss said apologetically, Originally, I wanted to make a reservation at Yong Shui Pavilion President Huo, please make do with it. Its alright, President Hu, Huo Xunzhou said casually. Lin Shanchu was walking at the back with He Xiang when she heard someone calling her. Lin Shanchu. He Xiang also heard the voice. After looking around, she pointed in a certain direction and said to Lin Shanchu, Sister Lin, its the director of My Stage. Song Yiming ran over when he saw Lin Shanchu looking at him. Are you here for dinner too? I did a shoot for a magazine today. The boss is holding a dinner party. Song Yiming looked forward and saw Huo Xunzhou. Then, he quickly greeted him, President Huo. Huo Xunzhou nodded at him and followed the boss into the private room. Song Yiming pointed at his table. I brought my family over for dinner today. Thats good. Lin Shanchu smiled. Can you not leave right after dinner? Song Yiming looked a little embarrassed. Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows slightly. Alright, just say what you want to say. You didnt beat around the bush when you framed me in the program team. The director smiled awkwardly. My niece is your fan. She wants to take a photo with you and ask for an autograph. Its not a big deal. I can go over now. She thought that it was some serious matter. Lin Shanchu walked over after saying those words. Song Yimings niece blushed and covered her mouth while screaming excitedly, Ah! Sister Rabbit! After taking the photo and signing the autograph, her niece was still very excited. The appearance of the female lead in my novel is based on you. Youre so beautiful. I like you so much. You write novels? Lin Shanchu asked curiously. What kind of novel do you write? Embarrassed, the niece said, Its just some angst love story. The smile on Lin Shanchus face gradually froze. What kind of fate did she have? Someone used her as a prototype for their novel, but it turned out even she was also a female lead of an angst novel. However, she quicklyposed herself. Is it the kind of novel where the male lead keeps hurting the female lead but she is always devoted to him? More or less. Ill clear the male leads name at ater stage. Is that so? But the male lead keeps hurting the female lead. Can the female lead still love him? Seeing Lin Shanchus interested expression, the niece started chatting with her seriously. This is where the conflict lies. Stirring up a conflict and mobilizing the emotions of the readers Of course, the most important point of an angst novel is that the male lead must be physically and mentally clean. Only the female lead will have a ce in his heart. Lin Shanchu thought of Lu Shiyuan and asked, Why did you set the male lead like this? Chapter 268 - 268: What Is There to Drink When Your Leg Is Broken? Chapter 268: What Is There to Drink When Your Leg Is Broken? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The niece blurted out, Its because hes the male lead. Lin Shanchu said thoughtfully, But logically speaking, the male lead is a scumbag at the early stage. How can a scumbag whose death is not pitiable like him remain chaste just for a woman? The niece thought that Lin Shanchu hated scumbags. She even said that his death was not pitiable. The niece continued to exin, Hes the male lead because he stands out from the crowd by remaining chaste. If he hooks up with other women then he doesnt deserve to be the male lead. Those words were a wake-up call. Lin Shanchus long-standing doubts were resolved by her words. That scumbag Lu Shiyuan had never slept with Tang Qidai because he was the male lead. The male lead could hurt the female lead and do all kinds of evil deeds, but he had to remain chaste for her. It was because this was an angst love story for females. Being loyal and having a clean mind and body was the red line of a male lead. After crossing the red line, he would no longer be the male lead. It was such a simple logic, but she had never understood it. Lin Shanchu couldnt help butugh. Sister, you The niece was dumbfounded. Was what she said that funny? Lin Shanchu turned around and gave her a big hug. Youre amazing! Thank you. Huh? Why did Lin Shanchu suddenly thank her? Ill be leaving now. Lin Shanchu stood up, took two steps, and then turned back. After that, she said to the niece with a serious face, Write me as a Mary Sue next time, the kind that kills a scumbag with one punch. Please! After Lin Shanchus figure disappeared, the niece held her face and screamed excitedly, Ah! Sister praised me and even hugged me. I want to write Mary Sue stories for the rest of my life, sob When Lin Shanchu returned to the private room, she realized that no one had ordered food yet. The boss weed her to take a seat. Weve been waiting for you. Come and order. Lin Shanchu turned to look at He Xiang in confusion. When she went to look for Song Yiming, she had told He Xiang to order food first. He Xiang blinked innocently and looked in Huo Xunzhous direction. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou handing the menu to Huo Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips. Then, she averted her gaze and started ordering food. After ordering food, the boss asked Huo Xunzhou, President Huo, what kind of wine would you like to drink? Huo Xunzhou said slowly, Everyone has work tomorrow, so dont drink wine today I want to have a drink. A female voice suddenly rang out and attracted everyones attention. Everyone looked at Lin Shanchu. Todays work went well, so Im happy and want to have a drink. She had finally found a way to get rid of Lu Shiyuans male lead aura. Of course, she had to have a drink to celebrate it. He Xiang was the first to disagree. She persuaded her softly, Sister Lin, if your stomach isnt good, dont drink it. Ill just drink one ss, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. It was rare for He Xiang to see Lin Shanchu so happy, so she stopped talking. Huo Xunzhou pulled a long face and did not speak again. Huo Chaosheng nced at Lin Shanchu. Third Brother, I want to have a drink too. Huo Xunzhou said coldly, What is there to drink when your leg is broken? Huo Chaosheng was speechless at the ferocious Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou looked past Huo Chaosheng and his gazended on Lin Shanchu. Dont you know that youre a patient? Lin Shanchu frowned in confusion. Huo Xunzhou scolded Huo Chaosheng, but why was he staring at her? Was he ming her for saying that she wanted a drink? Did he want to put on a show of brotherhood with Huo Chaosheng and even scold her? She was wronged in that case. Lin Shanchu just red at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. When the wine was served, Lin Shanchu raised her ss and said sweetly to the waiter, Please fill it up, thank you. After eating and drinking to their hearts content, the dinner ended. Huo Chaoshengs leg injury was still in the healing stage. To be on the safe side, Huo Xunzhou arranged for a separate car for him. Huo Xunzhou ordered the bodyguards to carry Huo Chaosheng into the car. He turned around and saw Lin Shanchu leaving in a car. He took a deep look in the direction Lin Shanchu had left before he turned to Li MO and said, Lets go. Only he and Li MO were in the car. Huo Xunzhou asked, You still havent found any medical records about her? No yet. Li MO sounded defeated. Huo Xunzhou looked at Li MO through the rearview mirror. Its not your problem. Lin Shanchu was a little unusual in the first ce. There might be other reasons why Li MO could not find any medical records. Li MO was puzzled as he said, Big Brother, you mean Huo Xunzhou said, Change the direction. Change what direction? He could not understand Huo Xunzhous words again. Huo Xunzhou was lost in thought. Lin Shanchu only had a handful of people close to her. Although he did not want to admit it, Lu Shiyuan, who grew up with Lin Shanchu, was indeed the closest person to her. However, what was worth being happy about was that Lu Shiyuan was the first to be excluded. Lin Shanchu wanted Lu Shiyuan dead. If she was terminally ill, she would never let him know the truth. After excluding Lu Shiyuan, the scope was even smaller. Yun Wu was considered close to her. However, there was a period of time when she deliberately distanced herself from Yun Wu. Therefore, Yun Wu also had to be excluded. Nan Mu, Li MO, Qi Cheng, and He Xiang also had to be excluded. As a result, there would be no one left. She had no choice but to ask a stranger like him for help back when she was in the hospital because she had no one by her side. But now, she did not even want his help. Nan Mu was right. Women were heartless. However, she was not born in this way. If given chance, who would not want to be a gentle and kind person? Who would not want to live a decent andfortable life? Screech! The car suddenly braked. It interrupted Huo Xunzhous thoughts. What happened? A car suddenly drove over. Li Mos voice was filled with anger. He rolled down the car window angrily. Are you blind at night? Youre the f*cking blind one! The driver of the other car responded with a curse and left. Li MO was furious. I want to report him! I want to report him now! At this moment, the car behind them moved forward. Hey, its you? Li MO looked at him for a long time and finally remembered his name. Wen Huan? Wen Huan looked happy as he shouted at the tightly shut rear window, Best Actor Huo! He recognized Li MO as Huo Xunzhous inseparable bodyguard. Even though the car window was closed, he knew that Huo Xunzhou must be in the car. Huo Xunzhou rolled down the car window and sized up Wen Huan with a probing look. Wen Huan waved at him excitedly and looked back. There are many cars behind us. I have to leave now. Best Actor Huo, bye. Huo Xunzhou remained silent, so Li MO thought he did not remember who Wen Huan was. Do you still remember that reporter? He reminded, He was the one who drove Miss Lin over to visit Huo Chaosheng the other day. Huo Xunzhou recalled Lin Shanchus previousments on Wen Huans Moments. Wen Huan. He could be considered someone rtively close to Lin Shanchu. He had overlooked Wen Huan just now.. Chapter 269 - 269: I Believe in My Artist’s Judgment Chapter 269: I Believe in My Artists Judgment Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Seeing that Huo Xunzhou still remained silent, Li MO asked, Big Brother, you still dont remember him ? I know him. Huo Xunzhous voice sank. After returning home, Huo Xunzhou scrolled through Lin Shanchus previousments on Wen Huans Moments. Lin Shanchu: [Can you hang out with me after picking up your new car?] Wen Huan: [My mom doesnt let me hang out with sick people and beautiful women.] Lin Shanchu: [Then can you hang out with me after Im cured?] The conversation between the two sounded like a joke, but Huo Xunzhou knew that Lin Shanchu really wanted to hang out with Wen Huan from the bottom of her heart. Lin Shanchu had always kept a distance from people. It was the same for him and Yun Wu. However, she did not deliberately keep Wen Huan at a distance. It was enough to show her trust in Wen Huan. In that case, Wen Huan was the breakthrough point. Huo Xunzhou found Wen Huans contact on his WeChat contact list and sent him a message. Huo Xunzhou: [Are you free recently?] Wen Huan replied instantly: [Im free! I have a lot of time!] His idol had personally sent him a message, so how could he say that he was not free? Even if he died, he would have to lift the coffin lid and reply to the message. Huo Xunzhou: [I would like to ask you to conduct an exclusive interview with me.] This time, Wen Huans reply was much slower. Huo Xunzhou looked at the dialog box and saw that the message The other party is typing in kept appearing, but he did not receive any message. He patiently ced his phone on the table. After a while, Wen Huan finally replied. Wen Huan: [Are you the real deal?] Huo Xunzhou: [I am.] Wen Huan: [How do you prove it?] Huo Xunzhou: [Lets meet and talk tomorrow.] Wen Huan: [Okay!] Wen Huan did not sleep for the entire night. He spent the entire night wondering if Huo Xunzhou was the one who had sent him the messages. He could not believe that his idol would take the initiative to send him messages and asking him to do an exclusive interview with him. He got up early in the morning and arrived two hours early at the ce where he had agreed to meet Huo Xunzhou. Just as he yawned and was about to fall asleep, Huo Xunzhou arrived on time. Wen Huan? Huo Xunzhou called out to him. Wen Huan was stunned for quite a while before he stammered, Are you a real person? Huo Xunzhou asked calmly, Now, can we talk about the exclusive interview? Wen Huan hurriedly took out a small notebook from his bag. Tell me whatever your requests! Next, Im going to expand the scale and business of Tianzhou Media, so I want to increase thepanys poprity and show some positive image through an exclusive interview. Huo Xunzhous tone was very serious, as if he had reallye to him for an exclusive interview. However, those requests were not requests at all. The image of Tianzhou Media had always been quite positive. It was also quite well-known in the industry. However, Wen Huan quickly convinced himself that an outstanding person like Huo Xunzhou would definitely strive for perfection. Understood! He would definitely work hard to make this exclusive interview a sess! I believe you. Huo Xunzhou looked very sincere when he focused on looking at people. Wen Huan thought of Lin Shanchu for no reason. Lin Shanchu also trusted him for no reason. It seemed to be the same case for Huo Xunzhou. He thought that he was very reliable, but why did Huo Xunzhou trust him so much when there had not been much interactions between them? Huo Xunzhou saw Wen Huans expression and asked calmly, Any other questions? Wen Huan asked the question in his mind, Why did youe to me instead of so many famous reporters? I believe in my artists judgment. Huo Xunzhou smiled. You mean Lin Shanchu? She was the only artist in Tianzhou Media whom he had gotten close to recently. Its her. Huo Xunzhou nodded. Wen Huan asked, Did she rmend me to you? Instead of answering the question, Huo Xunzhou asked. Are you well acquainted with her? Wen Huan simply nodded. Yeah. Lin Shanchu must have had great trust in him, considering the fact that she had even told him that she had cancer. Naturally, they were well acquainted even though he had not known Lin Shanchu for long. Huo Xunzhou leaned back in the chair and asked casually, Are you two the kind of friends who would hang out together in private? Ill take her out if she has time in the future. Lin Shanchu asked him to take her out on his Moments back then, but at that time, he even joked that he did not want to hang out with sick people. Now that he thought about it, he still felt a little guilty. I see. Huo Xunzhous tone was lighter and did not sound much different from before, but Wen Huan vaguely felt that something was wrong. Was it sour grapes? Wen Huan suddenly remembered what happenedst time when he took Lin Shanchu to Huo Xunzhous house. He still remembered him calling her Shanshan. No wonder Huo Xunzhou was so jealous. It was jealousy. Ill call you when the timees. Wen Huan said sensibly, The three of us will go out together. Ill help you guys drive. The three of us together? Huo Xunzhou vaguely sensed that he might have missed out on some information, so he did not understand what Wen Huan was talking about. Wen Huan said sincerely, I know about your rtionship with Lin Shanchu. Even though theizens favor her and Huo Chaosheng, Im definitely on your side. Speechless, Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes slightly and took three deep breaths to calm himself down. Thank you. There was no warmth in his voice, nor was there any hint of gratitude. He now understood what was going on. On that day, Wen Huan followed Lin Shanchu to his house. He told Li MO to worm some information out of Wen Huan to understand the rtionship between Wen Huan and Lin Shanchu. He did not Imow what Li MO had said to Wen Hua, resulting in this situation. However, this situation did not seem to be entirely bad for him. Wen Huan inexplicably felt a little cold. He touched his arm. Mr. Huo, dont you think the air conditioning in this restaurant is a little too cold? No, Huo Xunzhou replied expressionlessly. Then why do I feel a little cold Wen Huan muttered. Are you not feeling well? Huo Xunzhou began to worm information out of him. Huh? The topic changed a little too fast and Wen Huan did not react in time. Huo Xunzhou was paying attention to the changes in Wen Huans expression as he spoke. Shanshan is not in good health either. I think she will feel cold when the air conditioning is adjusted to a suitable level. Is that so? Did you take her to the hospital for a checkup? Wen Huan couldnt help but think of Lin Shanchus illness and subconsciously started to test Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu said that he was the first person to know that she was sick. He could understand why Lin Shanchu did not want to waste time at the hospital, but if possible, he still hoped that she could go to the hospital for treatment. Treatment was better than no treatment. She wouldnt go to the hospital. Huo Xunzhou sighed. He only mentioned that Lin Shanchu was not in good health. A normal person would have responded by telling him to take care of Lin Shanchus health. However, Wen Huan asked if he had taken Lin Shanchu to the hospital for a checkup. It seemed that Wen Huan had some understanding of Lin Shanchus condition.. Chapter 270 - 270: Even A Pervert Would Find It Perverted Chapter 270: Even A Pervert Would Find It Perverted Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Wen Huan asked, Why? Huo Xunzhou had confirmed that Wen Huan knew something about Lin Shanchus condition, so he stopped beating around the bush. Because she doesnt want me to know that she is sick. Wha what do you mean? Wen Huan became cautious when he saw something was wrong with Huo Xunzhous expression. Shes afraid of causing trouble to me, so she doesnt even tell me when she is sick. Huo Xunzhou never thought that his acting skills woulde in handy one day for something like this. How did you know shes sick? Wen Huan began to drink the water guiltily. Her physical condition is very bad. She sometimes get nauseous, vomits, feels tired easily and has a poor appetite. She even lost weight suddenly and passed out asionally. When Huo Xunzhou was talking, he was watching Wen Huan closely the whole time. Wen Huan listened to him seriously as he drank the ss of water in his hand non-stop, but his brows furrowed more and more. And those are what I managed to discover. As for whether or not she is suffering and to what extent, I dont know. I cant ask her if she refuses to tell me. Why didnt you ask her then? If I asked her, she would only push me further away. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and concealed the emotions within them. Before he could ask anything, Lin Shanchu had started to distance herself from him. The man opposite him lowered his eyes slightly. Although his expression did not change significantly, it still could not hide his dejected mood. He looked a little sad. Wen Huan was on the verge of telling him the truth. However, if he told Huo Xunzhou, he would betray Lin Shanchus unreserved trust in him. He could not betray Lin Shanchus trust. He could not make a decision for Lin Shanchu either. In the end, Wen Huan said, You should think of another way then. Huo Xunzhou looked up at Wen Huan in surprise. He stared at Wen Huan for two seconds before suddenly curling his lip. Alright. Shanshan was really good at judging people. He had used up all his tricks, but Wen Huan still remained tight-lipped. Wen Huan did not betray Shanshans trust in him. Sorry to trouble you with the exclusive interview, Huo Xunzhou said those words and called Li MO who was waiting in the car. As he watched the two of them leave, Wen Huan suddenly came to his senses. He wondered why Huo Xunzhou kept talking about Lin Shanchu even though he had met up with him in the first ce for the exclusive interview. As Huo Xunzhous fan, he was well aware of his personality. Huo Xunzhou was mature and reserved. He was not the kind of person who would open up to others casually. In that case, why did Huo Xunzhou chat with him for so long just now? Wen Huan sat alone in the chair and thought for a long time before he figured it out. Hes trying to worm information out of me! After realizing this fact, Wen Huan immediately took out his phone and called Lin Shanchu. Im sorry, the number you dialed is switched off. Listening to the robotic female voice from the phone, Wen Huan remembered that Lin Shanchu had gone to the film set today for the filming of Top Feast. Rumor had it that all the actors of Top Feast were not allowed to bring their mobile phones to the film set. Top Feast was aired while the filming was in progress. The crew would adjust the plot based on audience feedback and the filming time of each episode was uncertain. It wouldst three to four days at least, and a week at most. Therefore, it would take him at least a week to contact Lin Shanchu. Wen Huan even began to suspect that Huo Xunzhou had deliberately chosen the day Lin Shanchu entered the film set to worm information out of him. Why was he so stupid? Back in the car, Li MO asked Huo Xunzhou impatiently, Big brother, what did Wen Huan say? Hes said whatever he shouldve said, but he didnt say anything that he shouldnt. Huh? Huo Xunzhou instructed him, Go and investigate Wen Huans recent schedule. Alright. Finally, there was something he could understand. Li MO had been feeling frustrated because he had not been able to find anything about Lin Shanchus medical records. This time, he tried his best and managed to investigate Wen Huans schedule for the past month in just one day. Huo Chaosheng had a lot of scenes for Top Feast this week, so only Li MO and Huo Xunzhou were at home. Big Brother, Li MO said loudly as soon as he entered the room, Wen Huan is a die-hard fan of Miss Lin. He spent most of the time following Miss Lin and taking pictures of her in the past month He handed the information to Huo Xunzhou. When Huo Xunzhou was reading the information, Li MO said, Even a pervert doesnt love his job as much as him. Huo Xunzhou chuckled. He did it more frequently than this when he followed me and took pictures of me back then. Li MO said suspiciously, Is he really just ordinary fan of yours? It was indeed to the extent that even a pervert would find it perverted. The information from Li Mos investigation was very detailed. Wen Huans daily routine was rtively simple. Other than spending most of his time following Lin Shanchu and taking pictures of her, he would participate in some activities. asionally, he would take pictures of other celebrities. When he had time, he would go to the nursing home to do volunteer work. When he had nothing to do, he would stay at home and basically did not socialize with other people. Huo Xunzhou looked at it seriously. From the beginning of the month to the end, it took a while before he saw that Wen Huan had asked Lin Shanchu out for dinnerst week. When Li MO saw Huo Xunzhou looking at the appointment, he said, Miss Lin had dinner with him and he took her home afterwards without being followed by reporters. Hes quite cautious in doing things. In the end, Li MO added, Miss Lin paid for the meal. Although it was not an important point, he felt that it was necessary to mention it to Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu was really nice to Wen Huan and even treated him to a meal. Huo Xunzhou continued to flip through the pages calmly. Huo Xunzhou stopped when he flipped to the next page. The content of this page showed that Wen Huan went to the nursing home where he had previously volunteered early the next morning. However, he did not stay there for long. He simply visited the elderlies in the nursing home and left. On the way back, he even couriered a parcel. This parcel was sent to Lin Shanchu, containing some photos he had taken of her before. These things seemed very normal and there was no problem. However, Huo Xunzhou did not intend to let go of any details rted to Lin Shanchu. He closed the file and said, Lets go to this nursing home. The two of them immediately set out for the nursing where Wen Huan was. The nursing home was a public welfare facility that relied on funding from all walks of life to maintain its operations. Most of its residents were elderly people who were seriously ill and had no one to take care of them. Huo Xunzhou went there as a sponsor and the dean personally met him. I know this ce because I Imow a reporter who has been doing volunteer work here. You mean Mr. Wen? His name is Wen Huan. Mr. Wen is a very nice person. He oftenes here to do volunteer work. The elderlies here like him very much, especially Mr. Qin Mr. Qin is a poor person with a terminal illness and his days are numbered.. Chapter 271 - 271: Morphine Sustained -Release Tablets Chapter 271: Morphine Sustained -Release Tablets Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhous heart sank for no reason when he heard the term terminal illness. Does Wen Huan visit him often? Mr. Wen is busy and doesnte here often, but he came quite frequently this month. He came oncest week and left after staying for a while. Can we go and see him? Of course. The dean took them to meet Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin was lying on the bed. From the look of his emaciated body and haggard face, one could tell that he was suffering from illness. The director stepped forward. Mr. Qin, these two are Mr. Wens friends. They are also good people who came to help us. He said that he would stop by to meet you. Mr. Wen Hearing Wen Huans name, Mr. Qins eyes brightened. Li MO asked the dean, Can we have a moment with Mr. Qin? The dean looked at Mr. Qin for his opinion. Mr. Qin nodded and easily epted their request probably because he heard that they were friends with Wen Huan. After the dean left, Li MO immediately closed the door. Huo Xunzhou sat down in front of the bed and asked in a deep voice, Sir, why did Wen Huane to visit you a week ago? Mr. Qins reaction was a little slow. After a few seconds, he said slowly, He just came to visit me. Did he ask you for anything? Huo Xunzhou felt that Wen Huan couldnt have just sent Lin Shanchu some photos, as simple as that. Old Qin hesitated for a moment before he said, No. Li MO noticed that the hand next to Huo Xunzhou subconsciously repeated the clenching and loosening motions. It was a sign of anxiety. The old man in front of them was obviously lying, but he was a terminally ill patient. Anyone with a conscience would not threaten or bribe him. He would be the viin. Something happened to Wen Huan. Li MO usually had a fierce look on his poker face, looking like the kind of person who was reliable in doing things and did not talk nonsense. Whats wrong with him? Old Qin panicked upon hearing those words. Li MO said, You have to ask yourself. What did he take from you on that day? Its the morphine sustained-release tablets! Mr. Qin said anxiously Morphine sustained-release tablet were narcotic analgesics used to relieve cancer pain. They were controlled drugs that could only be obtained at the hospital with a prescription. It was the reason why Wen Huan came to Mr. Qin to get the drug. Li MO did not bother to exin to Mr. Qin. His expression changed drastically as he looked at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou grimaced even more than him. He called out worriedly, Big Brother After two seconds, Huo Xunzhou reacted slowly and looked up at him. Exin to the old mister, Huo Xunzhou said hoarsely and left. Li MO stayed and exined to Mr. Qin, Wen Huan took the drug from you and give it to my sister-inw. Old Qin was stunned for a moment before sighing. Didnt you guys say something happened to him? Li MO bowed and apologized, Im sorry, sir. Im d that Mr. Wen is fine. Mr. Qin waved his hand. Li MO pushed the door open and saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in a wheelchair, staring at something in a daze. Big Brother? Have you exined to him clearly? Huo Xunzhou turned around with a calm gaze. Li MO nodded, indicating that he had exined it clearly. He thought Huo Xunzhou was about to leave. In the end, Huo Xunzhou pushed the door open again and entered the room. Sir, how do you feel now? Mr. Qin looked up at him and sized him up with his lifeless eyes for a while before he slowly said, What else can I feel? I have to endure it just to get through each day. It will be a relief for me if I die sooner. Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a moment. Take care, sir. On the way back, Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. Li MO did not dare to ask him any question. When they arrived at the vi entrance, Huo Xunzhou opened the door and got out of the car, striding into the house. Li MO looked at his back and sighed slightly. Usually, Huo Xunzhou was very cautious. Even when he reached the vi entrance, he would not walk. Instead, Li MO would help him sit in the wheelchair. After Li MO got out of the car, he looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he took out the wheelchair from the trunk and pushed it in. After Li MO went upstairs, he went straight to Huo Xunzhous study. Big Brother? He pushed the door open and looked inside. Huo Xunzhou sat in front of his desk looking at the bookshelf with his back facing the door. Li MO could not see his face, but he could feel a hint of depression. I want to be alone for a while. Huo Xunzhou did not turn around and lowered his voice. Li MO did not say anything else. He silently closed the door and left. After some time, the study door was opened again. Li MO, who was guarding the door, immediately asked, Big Brother, are you going out? Huo Xunzhou walked towards the elevator. Im going to visit the drama crew. Lin Shanchu had to shoot two scenes with Huo Chaosheng today. Huo Chaoshengs lousy acting skills had greatly dyed the progress of the crew. However, Huo Chaosheng was famous and had a high status, so everyone showed him respect. The director couldnt help but calmly exin the scene to him. Fortunately, Huo Chaoshengs attitude was not bad. After the director finished speaking, he asked Lin Shanchu to rehearse with him. After the rehearsal, Huo Chaosheng asked Lin Shanchu confidently, Am I better than before? Ha. Lin Shanchuughed coldly, trying to let Huo Chaosheng figure it out himself. Huo Chaosheng revealed a rare guilty expression. I didnt mind that you werent professional enough when we were doing the cover shoot. So, dont mind me. Ha! Lin Shanchus coldugh was even louder than before. Thank you. Ill treat you to a meal after we get out. Huo Chaosheng coughed lightly and said tactfully, Forget it then. Ill treat you to a meal instead. How can I let the sister treat her brother to a meal? Lin Shanchus expression softened a little. What do you want to eat? If he dared to say sashimi, he would be dead meat! You can eat whatever you want! Huo Chaosheng smiled warmly and generously. Lin Shanchu was in a better mood. Lets rehearse the scene again. Alright. Acting skills really depended on talent. They both had the same surname. Huo Xunzhou was the Best Actor. Huo Chaosheng there was no need to mention him. Lin Shanchu was so angry that her cancer red up again. When Huo Chaosheng saw Lin Shanchus pale face, he asked tentatively, You dont have to be so angry Im going to the restroom. Lin Shanchu picked up her bag and left. After entering the restroom, she took out a bottle from her bag, poured out a piece of painkiller and swallowed it. The painkiller did not take effect quickly. However, Lin Shanchu felt better probably due to psychological reasons. She stayed in the restroom for quite a while. After making sure that herplexion had recovered a little, she turned around and left. When she returned to the film set, she saw many staff members gathered together from afar. He Xiang was looking around not far away. It seemed that she was looking for Lin Shanchu. He Xiang. Sister Lin! He Xiang immediately ran over.. Chapter 272 - 272: Huo Xunzhou Came to See Me Chapter 272: Huo Xunzhou Came to See Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu asked He Xiang, What happened? Best Actor Huo is here, He Xiang said happily. Huo Xunzhou? She knew that Huo Xunzhou was here to visit Huo Chaosheng and put on a show of brotherhood. She still remembered how he indirectly scolded her at the dinner party because she said she wanted to drink wine. Lin Shanchu decided to pretend that she knew nothing. She turned around and walked towards the rest area. Recliners were ced there. Shey down and covered her face with the script. After a while, she fell drowsy and was about to fall asleep. At this moment, she heard movement beside her. It seemed like someone wasing over. However, it quickly quieted down. Lin Shanchu ignored the footsteps and prepared to sleep for a while. However, she felt someones gazend on her. She could not ignore it. as if it was something substantial. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath and opened her eyes resignedly. Then, she removed the script from her face. She turned her head and saw a familiar pair of charming eyes. Youre awake. His deep voice was a little hoarse and sounded a little different from usual. Do you have business with me? Lin Shanchu asked coldly. His gaze, which was filled withplicated emotions, stillnded on her. Lin Shanchu could not understand him and felt a little ufortable. A hint of hesitation shed across his face before he said, Chaosheng has caused you trouble. Did he need to hesitate before saying such high-sounding words? Huo Xunzhou felt that something was wrong. Lin Shanchu slowly sat up straight from the recliner and asked him tentatively, What are you trying to say? She was sure that Huo Xunzhou wanted to say something else just now. Thats what I wanted to say. Huo Xunzhou seemed to have read her mind. Tch! She did not believe him. It was fine if he and Huo Chaosheng wanted to put on a show of brotherhood, but now he was even trying to fool her. You might not want to talk to me about the matter Im going to bring up. Well talk about it when youre willing. Huo Xunzhous tone was unusually serious. Lin Shanchus lips moved, but she dared not ask what he wanted to say. There were not many things she did not want to talk about. Third Brother, youre here! Huo Chaosheng suddenly walked over and got Lin Shanchu out of a jam. He Xiang, do you have water? Lin Shanchu stood up and left. Huo Chaosheng frowned when he saw Lin Shanchu leaving, as if she was running away. Third Brother, even if you dont like Lin Shanchu, shes still my friend. You cant bully her. Huo Xunzhou replied nonmittally, Be serious when youre filming. Dont cause trouble for everyone. Huo Chaosheng said, Oh. Huo Xunzhou added, Go back to the capital to recuperate after youre done with your scenes. Why? Huo Chaosheng asked. Huo Xunzhou ignored him and left straight away. Li MO, who was standing not far away, saw Huo Xunzhouing over and quickly came over to help him push the wheelchair. Big Brother, have you talked to Miss Lin? No, I havent. Why didnt you say anything? Li MO did not follow Huo Xunzhou just now because he wanted to let Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu be alone so that they could get to the bottom of the matter. She wille to me. If it was useful to speak their minds, he and Lin Shanchu would not have been in this situation. She looked gentler and kinder than anyone else, but in fact, she was stubborn and ruthless. She did not leave any leeway for him especially. Since he could not convince her, he might as well make a move. Huo Xunzhou came and left in a hurry. Lin Shanchu felt that there was something strange about this. During dinner, Lin Shanchu couldnt help but ask Huo Chaosheng, Did your Third Brother say anything to you? Huo Chaosheng looked upset as he said, He wants to drive me back to the capital. Why? Who knows? Huo Chaoshengughed at himself. Maybe he thinks Im a hindrance. Youre going back just because he asked you to? What else can I do? He doesnt care about people when hes angry. I dont dare to make him angry. Huo Chaosheng did not have many scenes to begin with. In addition, Huo Xunzhou had probablye over to greet the director. The director had arranged all of Huo Chaoshengs scenes in advance. Huo Xunzhou took four days to finish filming the scenes that should have beenpleted in two days. However, after his scenes ended, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed for another day, waiting for Lin Shanchus scenes to end before leaving the film set with her. When they left the film set, Lin Shanchu saw a lot of reporters squatting at the side to take photos of them. She subconsciously looked around to see if Wen Huan had followed her here. As a result, she really saw Wen Huan. Wen Huan also saw Lin Shanchu. However, due to the distance between the two of them and the other reporters around them, Wen Huan gestured for her to make a phone call from afar. Lin Shanchu also made a hand gesture and nodded slightly. Sister Lin, your phone. He Xiang came back with her phone. Lin Shanchu turned on the phone and saw Wen Huans missed call. She looked at the time. Wen Huan had called her on her first day at the film set. Wen Huan would usually send her WeChat messages when he had business with her. For him to call her in such a hurry, it must be something important. Lin Shanchu immediately called Wen Huan back. Wen Huan picked up the call atter one ring, as it he had been guarding his phone. Huo Xunzhou came to see me. Why did hee to you? He took the initiative to contact me from the beginning and asked me to do an exclusive interview with him. After we met, he kept testing me to see if I knew about your illness. Lin Shanchu was shocked upon hearing those words. The hesitant expression on Huo Xunzhous face when he visited the crew earlier immediately surfaced in her mind. At that time, she thought that Huo Xunzhou only came to visit Huo Chaosheng and put on a show of brotherhood. It turned out that Huo Xunzhou hade to visit her earlier? On the other end of the phone, Wen Huan continued, I didnt realize it at first, but after he left, I realized that he was trying to worm information out of me. I spilled the beans halfway through the conversation. He might have known that youre sick. Wen Huan med himself. If only I had been more cautious back then. Its not your fault. Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before she continued, Huo Xunzhou is too smart. If hes determined to worm information out of you, hed seed no matter how careful you are. Wen Huan felt that what Lin Shanchu said made sense. However, he was still a little unconvinced. I am not that stupid, right? Well, you are not stupid, but that hes too smart. Lin Shanchu sighed slightly. She was so cautious, but still Huo Xunzhou managed to follow the trail and investigate Wen Huan. She did not expect that Huo Xunzhou would be so stubborn and still had not given up on her. Huo Chaosheng drove his car over. Then, he poked his head out of the window and spoke to Lin Shanchu. Lets go, silly girl. Lets go eat! He had said that he would treat Lin Shanchu to a meal. He Xiang also drove a car over. When Lin Shanchu got into the car, Huo Chaosheng shouted at her, You havent said what you want to eat. As long as we are not going to eat sashimi. Lin Shanchu got into the car without looking back.. Chapter 273 - 273: He Snatched Him On Purpose Chapter 273: He Snatched Him On Purpose Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Chaosheng took Lin Shanchu to Yong Shui Pavilion. Huo Chaosheng picked a seat by the window. The view from here is the best. Oh. Lin Shanchu was not interested in the scenery outside the window. After ordering the food and handing the menu to Huo Chaosheng, she took out her phone and started surfing the inte. The entertainment industry had been very calm these few days. There was still no major news. However, a trending topic caught her attention. #XiaJinmengAndZongPeiTogether This trending topic was noticeable near the top of the ranking. Lu Shiyuan really went all out to support Xia Jinmeng. He even asked Zong Pei to guide her. Zong Pei was currently on the rise, and it would be very disadvantageous for him to guide a neer like Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmengs reputation was not good because of the video that Wen Huan had posted. She was nowbeled as a mistress. It was not a win-win situation to have Zong Pei and Xia Jinmeng teamed up for marketing. Instead, Xia Jinmeng would one-sidedly drain Zong Peis poprity. Theizens attitude was exactly what Lin Shanchu had expected. They did not buy it at all. [Lu Shiyuan is really disgusting. He wants to support his lover and even dragged Zong Pei down.] [Zhong Pei finally got a little popr, but now he has to guide a newbie to share his poprity.] [Thats right. Its fine if he has to guide a newbie, but hes guiding Tang Qidai ver. 2.0.] [Zong Pei: Bad luck!] [Im fed up with Lu. If that disgusting man would still be considered a man if he stepped in to support Xia Jinmeng! Its too lowly for him to treat other artists as tools to support Xia Jinmeng!] Zong Pei had gained many new fans recently due to the variety show, but many of them became Xia Jinmengs anti-fans because of this incident. Although Xia Jinmeng lost her reputation, she gained some anti-fans. Anti-fans were also fans who contributed to her poprity. The more theseizens condemned Xia Jinmeng, the more Lu Shiyuans heart would ache and the more he would be willing to spend resources on Xia Jinmeng. However, in order to make Lu Shiyuan pay more attention to Xia Jinmeng, Lin Shanchu decided to add fuel to the fire. She sent Wen Huan a WeChat message: [Help me post an article sympathizing with Zong Pei.] Wen Huan: [0K.] As theizens felt sorry for Zong Pei, they hated Xia Jinmeng even more. The more difficult Xia Jinmengs situation was, the more Lu Shiyuan would want to protect her. As long as the two of them got closer, the chances of Xia Jinmeng sleeping with Lu Shiyuan would be higher. It was mealtime, but the dishes were served a little slower than usual. Huo Chaosheng and Lin Shanchu chatted casually. At this moment, a waiter led the two male customers to sit behind them. The seats by the window were separated by a screen, but it was not soundproof. The waiter said apologetically, Im sorry, President Li. There are no private rooms avable now. Please sit here for a while. Alright, remember to arrange a private room for meter. Okay, please take a look at the menu. President Li was probably a regr customer of Yong Shui Pavilion as he ordered very quickly. This one, and this one. President Fu, what do you want to eat? They quickly ordered the dishes. Okay, please take a look at the menu. President Fu, didnt you say that you were going to sign an investment contract with Lu Corporation? Why are you suddenly working with Tianzhou Media now? Lin Shanchu had no intention of eavesdropping on their conversation. However, they mentioned Lu Corporation and Tianzhou Media. Huo Chaosheng, who was sitting across from her, had obviously noticed the conversation at the next table. He exchanged nces with Lin Shanchu and tilted his head slightly to listen. The conversation at the next table continued. I just think that President Lu of Lu Corporation is getting more and more unreliable. He cant even handle his family affairs well. Scandals keeping one after another. Isnt it outrageous? But he had a lot of scandals in the past. Havent you worked with him for a long time? Brother Li, just tell me the truth. Jeez! President Li sighed and lowered his voice. The letter of intent for cooperation from Tianzhou Media is much more sincere than that Lu guys Is Tianzhou Media trying to snatch Lu Corporations business? I dont care whos robbing who. All the projects done by Tianzhou Media this year have been very sessful. Anyway, its fine as long as I can earn money Thats true. President Li and President Fu at the next table changed the topic and started talking about other things. Huo Chaosheng lowered his voice and said with interest, My Third Brother snatched your fiancs business. It was normal forpetitors topete with each other. This year, Tianzhou Media debuted the new top-notch celebrity, Ji Yuan, and the talent show My Stage was also a great sess. The results were very impressive. Plenty of investors wanted to invest in Tianzhou Media. Therefore, there was no need for Tianzhou Media to go to great lengths to snatch an investor who was negotiating a contract with Lu Corporation. However, Huo Xunzhou made a move and snatched the investor. He snatched him on purpose. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and said casually, He probably wants to help you vent your anger. Huo Chaosheng nodded in agreement. I think so too. She was speechless. She just said it casually, but she did not expect that Huo Chaosheng would take it seriously. Huo Chaosheng probably had a hidden brotherplex, didnt he? Wen Huan was an expert at leading public opinion. Lin Shanchu only asked him to post an article sympathizing with Zong Pei. Not only did he post the article, but he also went to a forum to lead public opinion. His actions directly caused Zong Peis fans to be agitated and condemned Xia Jinmeng on the forum. In one night, she had been condemned with more than ten thousand replies. Moreover, theizens had no intention of stopping. This series of reverse operation directly made Zong Pei trending. Lu Shiyuan originally wanted Xia Jinmeng and Zong Pei to team up for marketing. He wanted Xia Jinmeng to take advantage of Zong Peis poprity. As a result, Xia Jinmeng was now being condemned and Zong Pei had gained a huge number of fans by relying on the sympathy card. In fact, this result was not within Lin Shanchus expectations. She sent a message to Wen Huan: [Youre a marketing genius. arent vou?l Wen Huan: [I barely know a little. I cant be called a genius.] Naturally, some people were happy with this oue, whereas some were angry. Zong Pei and his manager were happy, but Lu Shiyuan was angry. Lu Shiyuan called Zong Pei and his manager to the office. He showed the manager the post that condemned Xia Jinmeng with more than ten thousand replies. Who did it? President Lu, we just found out about this. It has nothing to do with us. The manager hurriedly denied any connection with the post. Ill give you onest chance! The person who benefited from this incident was Zong Pei, so Lu Shiyuan did not believe the managers words. At this moment, the office door was pushed open. I did it. Just likest time, Lin Shanchu came in with a group of bodyguards. Zong Pei and Xia Jinmeng teamed up for marketing, but they didnt meet expectations. As one of the shareholders, its natural that I have to think of ways to recover some of the benefits as much as possible. I will handle thepanys affairs myself! Lu Shiyuan shouted, Theres no need for you to interfere! I didnt want to interfere either, but Lin Shanchu changed the topic. Even President Li, whos in long-term cooperation with Lu Corporation, has been snatched away by Tianzhou Media.. Is this what you call youll handle it yourself!? Chapter 274 - 274: Did Not Have The Authority Chapter 274: Did Not Have The Authority Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Zong Pei was forced to team up with Xia Jinmeng for marketing. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Shiyuan in the first ce, and the current situation was exactly what he wanted. Lin Shanchu really thought highly of him. Otherwise, she would not have done such a thing secretly to help him. Thinking of this, Zong Pei was extremely proud and began to scheme in his mind. The manager was very good at reading people. Seeing that Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu were about to quarrel, she dared not stay to watch the drama unfold. President Lu, Zong Pei has to attend an eventter. Well be leaving now. At this moment, Lu Shiyuan was angrily confronting Lin Shanchu and did not care about them at all. The manager was not stupid enough to wait for Lu Shiyuans permission. She grabbed Zong Peis arm and walked out. What event? I Zong Pei was unwilling to leave. Shut up! After the manager scolded him, she forcefully pulled his arma and walked out. Outside the door, Zong Pei erupted with dissatisfaction. What are you doing? I dont have any event to attend today! In the situation just now, did you want to stay there and watch the drama? The manager red at him. Zong Pei touched his chin and said with a smile, President Lin has helped me so much. I have to thank her in person, right? The manager said resentfully, You want to thank her? You dare to watch the drama the between President Lu and her? I think you have a death wish! After saying that, the manager walked towards the elevator. Zong Pei followed her and said, Things are different now. Lu Shiyuan doesnt have the final say in thepany. I think President Lin values me. If only No one understood Zong Peis character better than his manager. Zong Pei was fine in other aspects, but he liked beautiful women and could not control his lower body. She had secretly cleaned up a lot of messes for Zong Pei. When Lu Shiyuan picked Zong Pei and wanted to nurture him, she hid his dark past. Zong Pei was stuck to his old ways even though his poprity was getting higher and higher. The manager looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, she looked at Zong Pei with a serious expression. Do you think President Lin is as easy to coax as those women youve been screwing around with out there? Putting aside the fact that President Lu has suffered setbacks against her, she even has Huo Chaosheng by her side. Do you think youre better looking than Huo Chaosheng or better at business than him? Zong Pei turned a deaf ear and looked disdainful as he said, Whats so great about Huo Chaosheng? Anyway, you better put that idea out of your head and dont mess with President Lin. If something bad happens, well be done for! You hear me? Zong Pei said perfunctorily, I hear you! In Lu Shiyuans office, the two of them were still confronting each other. Rather than a confrontation, it was more like Lu Shiyuans one-sided rage due to ipetence. How did you know about this matter? Although Lin Shanchu had messed up his projects before, she was usually away from thepany and did not know much about thepanys business, let alone knew about his long-term cooperation with President Li. Thats not important. Whats important is that youve screwed up. Lin Shanchu sat down on the sofa with a rxed expression, as if it was her own office. Lu Shiyuan quickly came to a conclusion. Huo Xunzhou told you! Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows slightly without a word. Lu Shiyuan was even more certain of his guess. As expected, old habits die hard! Now, youre even working with an unscrupulous man to snatch my investor! Lin Shanchu did not even blink as she said indifferently, I dont know anything about investment, nor do I care about it. The only person I care about is Xia Jinmeng. As long as I am alive, Xia Jinmeng will never be sessful! Lin Shanchu sneered before she got up and left with her bodyguards. The moment the door closed, Lin Shanchu heard a loud bang from inside. Tch. He erupted with anger and started to smash things again due to ipetence. On the way back, Lin Shanchu checked the unread messages on her phone. There were two missed calls from advertising campaigns and three junk messages. Other than that, she also received WeChat messages from He Xiang. He Xiang: [Sister Lin, do you want to eat beef or fish?] He Xiang: [Ill buy some of them.] He Xiang: [Im lucky today. The vegetables are so fresh.] He Xiang went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and did not follow Lin Shanchu ?Lu Corporation. Lin Shanchu replied her: [Anything is fine.] After that, it was a message from Huo Chaosheng half an hour ago. Huo Chaosheng: [Wanna hang out at my house? Third Brother is not at home.] This sneaky tone Those who did not know better would think that the two of them were having an affair. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and replied expressionlessly: [Not] [Coming] She made it so clear that Huo Chaosheng could probably sense her speechlessness. Huo Chaosheng was indeed very perceptive as he replied: [How about Ie and hang out with you?] Lin Shanchu: [Im busy.] Huo Chaosheng: [Heh.] Lin Shanchu: [Arent you going back to the capital? Why havent you left yet?] Huo Chaosheng: [Third Brother has been out early ande backte these two days. I wonder what he has been busy with. He didnt rush me, so Ill stay for another two days.] Lin Shanchu: She confirmed that Huo Chaosheng truly had a brotherplex. Lin Shanchu stopped replying to him. When she came out of the film set of Top Feastst time, Qi Cheng drove a car to pick her up. On the way, he asked her about the filming and then told her about the following process. Qi Cheng did not pick her up yesterday. He only called her to ask about the filming. Other than that, he did not say anything else. He did not even tell her about his work. Previously, he also said that she was wanted for the endorsement of many brands and projects, so it was not like she would be out of job soon. When Lin Shanchu arrived home, He Xiang had just returned from the supermarket. He Xiang walked into the house with big and small bags. Sister Lin, youre back! Why are you carrying so many things without telling me? I would have picked you up at the parking lot. Lin Shanchu immediately went up to help her carry the bags. Its okay. They are not heavy. He Xiang avoided her hand, indicating that she did not need to help her. Lin Shanchu could only give up. She followed He Xiang to the kitchen and helped her put the things away. After putting the things away, Lin Shanchu said, Oh right, let me have a look at the schedule. Alright. He Xiang quickly clicked open the schedule on her phone and showed it to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu looked at the schedule for the next two days and frowned slightly. Other than the brand ceremony tomorrow, I dont have any other work for the next few days? Brother Qi said that he wanted to take on some high-quality jobs, so he rejected many other invitations In fact, He Xiang was a little confused. With Lin Shanchus current poprity, even if he had rejected many invitations, she would not have only one event in two days. Why dont I ask Brother Qi? He Xiang asked tentatively. Lin Shanchu ?pondered for a while before slowly shaking her head. No need. What was the use of looking for Qi Cheng? Qi Cheng did not have the authority to reject so many of her jobs.. Chapter 275 - 275: Both My Eyes and My Heart Saw It Chapter 275: Both My Eyes and My Heart Saw It Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Nan Mu wished dearly that she could work all the time. Therefore, the person who rejected the invitations for her could not be Nan Mu. Then it could only be Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou should have found out that Wen Huan had helped her buy the morphine sulfate. He went to the production teamst time probably because he knew about this matter. However, he did not say anything to her. Instead, he quietly turned down many job offers on her behalf. It turned out that he had been pulling the strings behind her back. She could no longer y dumb. However, she still had not thought about how to face Huo Xunzhou. As the saying went, running away was shameful, but useful. In that case, she would just y dumb for two more days. The next day, Lin Shanchu went to attend the brand ceremony. Qi Cheng drove over to pick her up. Sitting in the car, Qi Cheng kept ncing at her through the rearview mirror and looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Brother Qi, just say it if you have something to say. Lin Shanchuzily leaned against the seat and looked at him with a faint smile. Qi Cheng paused and said, Thepany might have new ns for you. Thepany suddenly turned down many job offers for Lin Shanchu. Qi Cheng was a little uncertain and wondered about thepanys intention. He had gone to ask Nan Mu, but Nan Mu said that this matter was not under his jurisdiction. Yeah. Lin Shanchu smiled and nodded, looking like she was in a good mood. Qi Cheng stared at her and said thoughtfully, Shanshan, what happened? Since Nan Mu was not under his jurisdiction, it was natural that it had something to do with Huo Xunzhou. On the other hand, Lin Shanchu looked calm, so Qi Cheng felt that she must have known something. Lin Shanchu replied, Dont worry. Qi Cheng understood her. Lin Shanchu definitely knew the reason, but she did not want to say it. Qi Cheng did not force her and changed the topic. The Glimmer Girls will attend todays ceremony too. He knew that Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu were on good terms, so he specifically told her about it. As expected, Lin Shanchu smiled as she said, Yun Wu didnt tell me. It was strange. Ever since Yun Wu stayed at her house for a night, she had not contacted her much. Lin Shanchu: took out her phone and sent a WeChat message Yunwu. Lin Shanchu: [ [photo]] She sent Yun Wu the invitation letter for the brands grand ceremony. After a few minutes, Yun Wu replied: [ [Ahhh.jpg] Shanshan! Youre alsoing here today! Have you arrived? Were already here!] Lin Shanchu: [Soon.] After arriving at the destination, Lin Shanchu saw Yun Wu furtively looking around at the entrance. Yun Wii. Lin Shanchu called out to her. Shanshan! Yun Wu immediately ran over and shouted, Youre here atst! Lin Shanchu asked, You were waiting for me? Thats right! Yun Wu nodded. Then, she grimaced with a frown and said, You dont know how busy Ive been recently. Other than group endorsements, I also had many personal invitations. I was so busy that I didnt even have time to eat. Lin Shanchuughed as she said, Is that so? Thats pretty good. Its not good at all! Yun Wu whined. Isnt it good to earn a lot of money? Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and figured that the Yun Family probably did notck the money Yunwu had earned, so she said, You can earn poprity. Yun Wu suffered in silence and let out a long sigh. Forget it, lets not talk about this. The two of them were about to walk in when they heard the sound of a car behind them. After Yun Wu turned around and took a nce, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. Its my Third Brother. Lin Shanchu recognized Huo Xunzhous car. Li MO got out of the car first and took the wheelchair. Then, he helped Huo Xunzhou into the wheelchair. Miss Lin? Only then did Li MO see Lin Shanchu standing at the entrance. Lin Shanchu nodded lightly at him. Li MO pushed Huo Xunzhou and approached her. Yun Wu called out unwillingly, Third Brother. Then, she turned to the side. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips tightly. Under Huo Xunzhous gaze, she braced herself and called out, President Huo. Mhmm. Huo Xunzhou responded emotionlessly and said to Li MO, Lets go. Oh, Li MO replied hesitantly. Why didnt Huo Xunzhou wait for Lin Shanchu to leave together? Seeing Huo Xunzhous figure disappear, Lin Shanchu rxed a little. She turned to look at Yun Wu and realized that Yun Wu was staring expressionlessly in the direction Huo Xunzhou had left. Whats wrong? I havent seen Third Brother for a long time, I miss him so much. Yun Wus smile was not forced, but it was filled with killing intent. For this ceremony, the brand owner had invited the entire group of Glimmer Girls, but not Yun Wu alone. Therefore, Yun Wu found her group members after entering the venue. Lin Shanchus seat was arranged at the front. When she found her seat, she found Huo Xunzhou sitting next to her. Huo Xunzhou was looking down at his phone, as if he had not noticed her. What are you afraid of? I dont eat people. The mans deep and maic voice sounded. He said in a very serious tone as if he was joking. Huo Xunzhou looked up at her after he finished speaking. Lin Shanchu raised her chin slightly and chuckled, President Huo, which of your eyes saw that I was afraid? Huo Xunzhous expression remained indifferent. Both my eyes and my heart saw it. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She suspected that Huo Xunzhou was deliberately picking a quarrel with her. After Lin Shanchu sat down, she turned her head to look elsewhere, but not at Huo Xunzhou. There were many people at the venue, and the seats were filled one after another. The staff set the temperature of the air conditioner to a very low level. Lin Shanchu started to feel a little cold. She was wearing a spaghetti strap dress that exposed her shoulders and Imees. She touched her slightly cold knees and regretted not listening to He Xiangs advice to bring an extra coat. At this moment, she felt a slight weight on her knees. Huo Xunzhou ced his coat over her legs. The material of the suit jacket was not soft, but it was indeed warm. Thank you, President Huo. Huo Xunzhou ignored her and continued to lower his head and look at his phone. Just as the ceremony was about to begin, the people on the other side of Lin Shanchus seat arrived. Creak! The person next to her made a bigmotion when they sat down. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw a familiar face. What a coincidence. Lu Shiyuan said that it was a coincidence, but his eyes were filled with provocation. Obviously, he deliberately made amotion to attract her attention because Xia Jinmeng was beside him. She was standing behind Lu Shiyuan. While he was not paying attention, she gave Lin Shanchu a smug look. Lin Shanchu told Xia Jinmeng to look out for herself after she entered Lu Corporation. In that case, Lin Shanchu must not have expected that Xia Jinmeng would be able to get Lu Shiyuan to personally bring her to an event so soon. Lin Shanchu nced at Xia Jinmeng with a faint smile and said to Lu Shiyuan, Youre quite particr. Its neither a dinner party nor a cocktail party, but still you brought a femalepanion. Lu Shiyuanughed provocatively. Ill bring one if I want to. Lin Shanchu did not want Xia Jinmeng to be sessful, but he would not let her have her way! Chapter 276 - 276: It Was Neither a Questioning Tone, Nor Did He Give Her a Chance Refuse Chapter 276: It Was Neither a Questioning Tone, Nor Did He Give Her a Chance Refuse Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Oh, Lin Shanchu said casually, as if she did not care at all. Lu Shiyuan was suspicious. Lin Shanchus reaction was too calm. Shouldnt she be angry? However, on second thought, it was natural that Lin Shanchu could not lose her temper in front of so many people here and she could only endure it for now. Thinking of this, Lu Shiyuan felt happy again. Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng sitting together attracted the attention of the others. After the two of them sat down, the surrounding people began to whisper about them. Lu Shiyuan isnt showing any respect for Lin Shanchu. Didnt Lin Shanchue with Best Actor Huo? No, the two of them came one after the other Alecs injury hasnt recovered yet. If he recovers, he will probablye with Lin Shanchu. In my opinion, Xia Jinmeng leads a charmed life I know, right.. Lin Shanchu heard all of their conversations. She did not know whether Xia Jinmeng led a charmed life or not. However, Xia Jinmeng should be credited for making Lu Shiyuan bring her along to the ceremony and sit with him today. After the ceremony ended, the brand owner even arranged a thank-you banquet. This kind of thank-you banquet was a good asion to expand ones social circle and make friends, so many people stayed to attend the banquet. On the other hand, Lin Shanchu attended the banquet because she was idle and had no work to do. As soon as she entered the banquet hall, Huo Xunzhou followed her. She looked at Huo Xunzhou in surprise. Didnt Huo Chaosheng say that he was very busy? He actually had the leisure to attend such a banquet to pass time? Li MO stepped forward and said politely, Miss Lin, Big Brother doesnt have a femalepanion. Sorry to bother you. It was neither a questioning tone, nor did he give her a chance to refuse. Li MO left after saying that. Lin Shanchu walked behind Huo Xunzhou and pushed his wheelchair into the hall. Huo Xunzhou even made a request to her. Walk slower. Lin Shanchu patiently slowed down her pace. After a few steps, Huo Xunzhou said, I want champagne. Lin Shanchu beckoned for the waiter toe over. She took a ss of champagne from the waiters tray and gave it to Huo Xunzhou. When she turned around to get another ss for herself, she heard the man say softly, Can you drink wine? Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and met Huo Xunzhous emotionless face. She felt inexplicably guilty under Huo Xunzhous gaze and forcefully retracted her hand. Huo Xunzhou was satisfied. IVIOSt or tne people at tne Danquet were rrom tne entertainment maustry ana wanted to strike up a conversation with Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou would respond to anyone who tried to strike up a conversation with him, but his expression was indifferent and the pressure he exuded was still very intimidating. Shortly afterwards, no one dared to strike up a conversation with him. Quite a few people came to greet Lin Shanchu. Most of them were female celebrities. Lin Shanchu, can we take a photo together? Ive been following Top Feast recently. Youre even more beautiful in person than in the drama. How did you apply the makeup for the selfie you posted on Weibo before? Can youe up with a tutorial next time? Ive rewatched your every stage performance in My Stage several times Deep down, Lin Shanchu did not really understand it. Not only were most of her fans women, but even the ones who tried to strike up a conversation with her were female celebrities. In fact, more female celebrities struck up a conversation with her than with Huo Xunzhou. The rest of the men who came to strike up a conversation with Lin Shanchu were brand producers and the like who wanted to invite her for coborations. Lin Shanchu felt a little tired after dealing with them for a while. She and Huo Xunzhou sat side by side in the rest area. She sat on the sofa, whereas Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at her. Lets go back. Lin Shanchu nodded. Ill leave after going to the restroom. She stood up and looked at Huo Xunzhou. Can you do it alone? Huo Xunzhou curled his lip slightly and was about to speak, but Lin Shanchu leaned over and asked softly, You drank a few sses of champagne. Dont you want to go to the restroom? Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment and said coldly, I dont want to. Good! Yun Wu suddenly ran over from the crowd. Lin Shanchu asked her, When did you arrive? I didnt see you just now. I was behind you guys. I saw that you were busy, so I didnte over to disturb you, Yun Wu said seriously. If she could wipe the syrup off the corner of her mouth, she would be even more serious. Yun Wu was most likely busy eating earlier and only came to look for them after she had eaten enough. Lin Shanchu did not expose her. Instead, she reached out to help her wipe the syrup off the corner of her mouth. Youre just in time. Stay with your Third Brother for a while. I have to go to the restroom. Yun Wu reluctantly forced a smile and nodded vigorously. Alright. Speechless, Lin Shanchu eventually did not ask anything after looking back and forth at Yun Wu and Huo Xunzhous faces. As soon as Lin Shanchu left, the smile on Yun Wus face disappearedpletely. Hmph! She snorted at Huo Xunzhou and sat down with her arms crossed. Huo Xunzhous expression remained unchanged as he said nonchntly, Give Big Brother a call when you have time. Yesterday, Yun Yi had called him toin that Yun Wu had not contacted him for days. Huo Xunzhous words gave Yun Wu an excuse to make a fuss. Tell me, I didnt nave time to call Big Brother. Who caused this Yun Wu angrily turned her back to Huo Xunzhou, turning her face to face him. Huo Xunzhou lectured her seriously, No matter how busy you are with work, you have to keep in touch with your family. Dont you know why Im busy with work? Huo Xunzhou was too shameless! She Imew that he deliberately arranged so much work for her so that she would not have time to hang out with Lin Shanchu! Huo Xunzhous expression remained unchanged as he said, 1 dont know much about your groups work. I know that thepany arranged the groups work! Do you dare to say that you didnt arrange my personal work? Do you know that I didnt eat properly in the past few days? Yun Wu was furious. Huo Xunzhou cleared his throat as if he finally felt a trace of guilt. Youre young. You have to work hard and strive. Shanshan is also very young. Why dont you tell her to strive? Huo Xunzhou was stubborn and would never admit that he had deliberately arranged so much work for her because he was jealous that she could hang out with Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou was silent for a moment before he whispered, Shes not in good health. Yun Wu looked tense and immediately turned around. Have you taken Shanshan for a checkup? Whats wrong with her? Well talk about thister, Huo Xunzhou avoided the topic and said, You should call Big Brother first. Lin Shanchu saw Xia Jinmeng as soon as she came out of the restroom. Xia Jinmeng was leaning against the wall, obviously waiting for her toe out.. Chapter 277 - 277: He Was Clearly Drunk Chapter 277: He Was Clearly Drunk Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu intended to ignore Xia Jinmeng. However, when she walked past Xia Jinmeng, Xia Jinmeng blocked her way with a sidestep. Hows that? I manage to get close to Lu Shiyuan so smoothly even without your help. You didnt expect it, did you? Her tone was full of pride. Lin Shanchu leaned forward and looked straight into Xia Jinmengs eyes. With a smile on her face, she asked softly, How close are you two? Did you kiss him? Have you slept with him? Her tone was extremely polite, but she asked the bold questions. Xia Jinmeng was dumbstruck. You He didnt sleep with you? Lin Shanchu said regretfully. Then you two arent that close. He never slept with you either, did he? Xia Jinmeng retorted. If I was willing to sleep with him, do you think youd stand a chance? Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. Speechless, Xia Jinmeng initially wanted to show off her achievement, but she did not expect Lin Shanchu to mock her. Xia Jinmeng looked proud when she blocked Lin Shanchus way earlier, but now she was feeling aggrieved. She turned around and wanted to leave, but she stopped, as if she had thought of something. She turned around and looked at Lin Shanchu. Oh right, you should go back early. Otherwise, you will be embarrassed when President Lue to pick me up and meet you face-to-faceter. Lin Shanchu had not broken off the engagement with Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan was intimate with another woman in front of her, so it was natural that the one who would be embarrassed was his fiance, Lin Shanchu. After Xia Jinmeng finished speaking, she walked away arrogantly. Although Lin Shanchu did not really understand why Xia Jinmeng was so proud, she thought that it was a good thing. What took you so long? Yun Wu was holding a te of cakes and desserts in her hands as she looked up at Lin Shanchu. Next to her, Huo Xunzhou looked indifferent. The two siblings looked like harmonious family members who loved each other. They reconciled so quickly. I met Xia Jinmeng. Lin Shanchu looked calmly at Xia Jinmeng. A waiter happened to pass by her with a tray. Lin Shanchu was about to take the wine from the tray. As soon as her hand touched the wine ss, she felt someone looking at her. She turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou staring at her. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and moved her hand to the side to pick up a ss of fruit juice. Give me a moment. As Lin Shanchu spoke, she walked towards Xia Jinmeng. What is Shanshan doing? Yun Wu asked Huo Xunzhou. Youll know when you go over and take a look, Huo Xunzhou said casually. Youre right! Yun Wu quickly finished the desserts in her hand, got up, and walked over. As soon as Yun Wu approached them, she saw Lin Shanchu asking the waiter to put down a tray of red wine. Put it here. Lin Shanchu looked at Xia Jinmeng. I heard from Lu Shiyuan that your alcohol tolerance is not bad. Let me see how good you are at drinking. When did he Xia Jinmeng noticed that all the people around her were looking in her direction, so her tone softened. President Lin, do you have some kind of misunderstanding? Actually, my alcohol tolerance isnt that good. Is that so? Lin Shanchu took a sip of fruit juice and said, In that case, you lied to Lu Shiyuan, or did Lu Shiyuan lie to me? Anyone with a keen eye could tell that Lin Shanchu was trying to make things difficult for Xia Jinmeng. Although this kind of drama where the wife made things difficult for the mistress was clich, it was still popr and everyone loved to watch it. The courageous ones had started to lean over. The cautious people also pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between the two of them. Xia Jinmeng felt extremely aggrieved. In her current circumstances, she could not have a direct confrontation with Lin Shanchu. At this moment, she saw Lu Shiyuan walking over from afar. Overjoyed, she wore a weak look and said to Lin Shanchu, Ill give it a try then. Xia Jinmeng picked up the ss and gulped down the wine. She drank one ss after another. When she was about to finish the six sses of wine on the tray, Lu Shiyuan suddenly appeared and snatched the ss from her hand. President Lu Xia Jinmeng turned to look at Lu Shiyuan. Her cheeks were red from the alcohol and her eyes were red-rimmed with grievance, looking as pitiful as she could be. Lu Shiyuan furrowed his brows and looked at Lin Shanchu coldly. Are you done messing around? I was just teasing Xia Jinmeng, Lin Shanchu said innocently. Lu Shiyuan noticed the onlookers around him. He did not want to make a fool of himself in such a situation, so he grabbed Xia Jinmengs hand and wanted to leave. Xia Jinmeng had drunk quite a bit and was already feeling a little dizzy. Lin Shanchu picked up a ss of wine and handed it to Lu Shiyuan. Since youre here, lets drink two sses before you leave. She nced indifferently at Lu Shiyuan with a hint of warning in her clear eyes. Her intention was clear. If Lu Shiyuan did not drink two sses of wine before leaving as she wished, then she would continue to cause trouble. Lu Shiyuan cared about his dignity, so he couldnt help but ept the wine reluctantly. He finished the wine in one gulp and showed her the empty ss. Drink some more. Lin Shanchu handed him another ss of wine. Lu Shiyuans expression turned cold, but when he saw Lin Shanchus warning gaze, he could only take it again. However, he did not drink it immediately this time. Instead, he looked up at Lin Shanchu.Lets drink together. President Lu. Before Lin Shanchu could say anything, Huo Xunzhous voice came from behind. Huo Xunzhou held a ss of wine in his hand. He raised his hand slightly and toasted Lu Shiyuan before downing the wine in his hand. This time, Lu Shiyuan had to drink it even if he did not want to. Righter after Lu Shiyuan finished drinking the wine, Huo Xunzhou raised another ss. Everyone was a little surprised by Huo Xunzhous action. Even Lin Shanchu could not understand why Huo Xunzhou would do that. She gave Huo Xunzhou a puzzled look. However, Huo Xunzhou did not even look at her, as if he was trying to get Lu Shiyuan drunk. He drank one ss after another with Lu Shiyuan. The two menpeted silently. After a while, Lu Shiyuan opposite him could no longer stand steadily. Lin Shanchu was delighted. Both Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng had drunk quite a bit. The two of them were so drunk that they couldmit drunken mistakes. Someone whispered in the crowd around them. Best Actor Huo has such a good tolerance for alcohol. Hes not even drunk. This is nothing. I heard that when Best Actor Huo drank with investors in the past, the drunk investors fell off the table, but his expression didnt even change Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou upon hearing those words. Huo Xunzhous expression was the same as usual. However, Lin Shanchu was the closest to him and was familiar with him. At a nce, she could tell that his eyes were a little duller than usual. She called out to him tentatively. President Huo After a few seconds, Huo Xunzhou turned to look at her. His indifferent and charming eyes glistened faintly, making him look fragile for some reason. He was clearly drunk. Boring. Im going back. Lin Shanchu nced at Lu Shiyuan coldly before she pushed Huo Xunzhou and left.. Chapter 278 - 278: What Was Coming Would Come Chapter 278: What Was Coming Would Come Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When they reached somewhere less crowded, Lin Shanchu gradually slowed down. She saw Huo Xunzhou rubbing his temples. After he was done rubbing his temples, he leaned back in his wheelchair without moving an inch. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and could see his furrowed brows. He was probably feeling ufortable. President Huo, you can hold your liquor well, Lin Shanchu said with a faint smile. Hearing Lin Shanchus sarcastic tone, Huo Xunzhou curled his lip slightly. Shanshan, I did you a great favor, why cant you treat me gentler? The person who had been paralyzed by alcohol spoke slowly. His maic voice was gentle, making her ears numb. Lin Shanchu stopped and looked at him calmly, What great favor did you do for me? He stared at Lin Shanchu with his drunken and bright eyes. You wanted to get Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng drunk. Even though he was drunk, he still carefully lowered his voice, as if he was whispering to her. Lin Shanchus lips twitched as she looked at him in surprise. I guessed right. He had the look of an excited child who had answered a question correctly. Usually, Huo Xunzhou would never act like this. Lin Shanchu confirmed that he was really drunk. She sighed slightly. Fortunately, Lu Shiyuan was not as cautious as Huo Xunzhou. Otherwise, she might never have the chance to take revenge in this life. Huo Xunzhou turned around and reached out to hold her wrist. Did I guess it right? His eyes looked stubborn, as if he would not give up until he got Lin Shanchus affirmation. Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds before she said, Yes, you got it right! Huo Xunzhou finally let go of her hand and smiled smugly. Lin Shanchu really did not expect the drunk Huo Xunzhou to be so childish and difficult to deal with. Lin Shanchu saw Li MO as soon as she left the banquet hall. Big Brother, Miss Lin! Li MO immediately noticed that something was wrong with Huo Xunzhou. brother, vou Smellinq the alcohol Li MO asked, How much did vou drink? Why do you care? Huo Xunzhou raised his voice. I wouldnt dare, Li MO said weakly. Why? Huo Xunzhou took gloves off and asked, Am I very fierce? At the brand ceremony earlier, Lin Shanchu saw Li MO sitting next to Huo Xunzhou, looking like he wanted to run away. LiMo replied, No Huo Xunzhou finally gave up. Li MO walked to Lin Shanchus side and whispered, Miss Lin, Ill do it. Huo Xunzhou heard his words and immediately turned to look at Li Mo. I dont want you. Miss Lin Li MO was dumbstruck as he looked at Lin Shanchu awkwardly. Ill do it, Lin Shanchu said, barely holding back herughter. He Xiang was also waiting for Lin Shanchu outside. Sister Lin. Wait for me in the car. Lin Shanchu shook her head at her. Oh. He Xiang looked at Huo Xunzhou curiously and left reluctantly. When they reached the parking lot, Li MO opened the car door and was about to help Huo Xunzhou into the car. Sorry to trouble you, Miss Lin. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to say no sweat , someone else interrupted her. No sweat. Lin Shanchu and Li MO looked at Huo Xunzhou in unison. He Xiang drove over. She got out of the car and whispered to Lin Shanchu, Sister Lin, can we go now? Well be leaving now. Lin Shanchu looked at Li Mo. Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand and asked, Where are you going? Lin Shanchu hesitated for a moment but did not pull her hand back. Im going home. I want to go home too. Huo Xunzhou looked up at her with sparkling eyes. Lin Shanchu thought of a newborn puppy. Some people looked cold and serious on the surface, but when they were drunk, they would be docile like puppies. Get in the car then. Lin Shanchus voice unconsciously softened. Huo Xunzhou continued to hold her hand and said, Take me home. Lin Shanchu spected that he would not let go of her hand if she did not agree to take him home. She turned to He Xiang and said, You may go back first. Li MO said immediately, Miss Lin, Ill take you hometer. Alright. Only then did He Xiang leave with relief. Huo Xunzhou was satisfied. Smiling, he held the car door for Lin Shanchu and said excitedly, Shanshan, get in the car. Lin Shanchu helplessly got into the car. Then, Huo Xunzhou also got into the car. After he got into the car, he leanedzily against the seat and slightly lowered his eyes so that no one could see the look in his eyes. Lin Shanchu recalled the way he rubbed his temples. Does your head hurt? Huo Xunzhou shook his head and nodded. After Li MO put the wheelchair away, he came over to drive the car. When he started the car, he looked back through the rearview mirror. Lin Shanchu smiled at him, indicating that he could rest assured. When the car started, Lin Shanchu looked out of the window and saw Xia Jinmeng helping Lu Shiyuan into the car. Lin Shanchu looked at it thoughtfully for a moment before taking out her phone to text Wen Huan on WeChat. Lin Shanchu: [Where are you?] Wen Huan: [Im trying to get a scoop of a big scandal. I heard that an old artist and a young actress have checked in at the hotel here. [photo]] The attached photo showed the entrance of a hotel. Lin Shanchu: [Why are you waiting at thiste hour?] Wen Huan: [I dont think they wille out tonight. Im going back to the car to sleep while waiting for them. Why are you looking for me?] Lin Shanchu: [Do you want a scoop of the scandal between an entertainmentpany boss with a fiance and his female artist?] Wen Huan: [You mean Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng? Of course! Where are these two people? Ill go now!] Lin Shanchu sent Lu Shiyuans license te number and home address to Wen Huan. Lin Shanchu: [They might not go home. You should go and block their way.] Wen Huan: [0K.] Both Xia Jinmeng and Lu Shiyuan had drunk quite a bit. If something did not happen soon, either Xia Jinmeng or Lu Shiyuan would be useless. Lin Shanchu put her phone back into her bag and sensed the person beside her looking at her. She turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou staring at her without blinking. Are you alright? she asked Huo Xunzhou. Whom did you send WeChat messages to? Huo Xunzhou asked. Wen Huan, Lin Shanchu said honestly. Huo Xunzhou pondered for a moment. It was unknown what he was thinking, but then he looked up at her and said, Ive looked for him. Lin Shanchy unconsciously tightened the grip on her bag. What wasing woulde. She looked away. He told me about it. I already know about the medicine. His tone sounded very sober, not like a drunk person at all. Lin Shanchu suddenly realized that he had tricked her into getting into the car to talk to her about this matter. Lin Shanchu sighed softly and did not say anything. She did not know what to say. When did you find out? Huo Xunzhou asked again. On the day we first met at the hospital. At this point, she had nothing to hide. Huo Xunzhou recalled the scene from that day. On that day, she squatted in front of him and begged him desperately. It was the first time he was so d that he had lent her a helping hand and interfered in this matter. After a while, Huo Xunzhou said hoarsely, Stop the car.. Chapter 279 - 279: He Wanted to Be Part of Her Future Chapter 279: He Wanted to Be Part of Her Future Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After looking at the road condition, Li MO parked the car by the roadside. As soon as Li MO parked the car, he heard Huo Xunzhou call him, Li MO, get out of the car. Li MO understood that Huo Xunzhou wanted to talk to Lin Shanchu alone. He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car without a word. Only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were left in the car. Lin Shanchu was uncertain what Huo Xunzhou would say, so she felt uneasy. Did you mean what you said to me at Nan Mus house back then? She thought that Huo Xunzhou would continue to ask her about her illness, but she did not expect him to mention this matter all of a sudden. Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a little disappointed. Of course T .in Shanchu clenched her fists and looked awavy A heavy atmosphere instantly filled the car. After a few seconds, Huo Xunzhous deep voice sounded. Look into my eyes and say it again. Lin Shanchu turned around and looked into Huo Xunzhous eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Huo Xunzhou interrupted her. Forget it, Shanshan. Its not the first time you have been lying. Dont say anything you dont mean. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Shanshan, after the matter in Xu City is over, can you take me to travel around the world? Lin Shanchu had never heard Huo Xunzhous firm and gentle tone before. When she was at Nan Mus housest time, she told Huo Xunzhou that she would travel around the world and leave Xu City forever after dealing with Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu finally understood something. Huo Xunzhou did not mention anything about her illness, but every word revolved around it. Huo Xunzhous ability to see through people was unparalleled. He knew her very well. He was well aware that if he directly mentioned the treatment, she would definitely be very resistant. She had long been tired of being controlled and dominated by others. She did not need anyone to make decisions for her. He had brought up the topic of traveling around the world in a roundabout way. It was a reserved and straightforward way of expressing his feelings. He wanted to be part of her future. It was respect and gentleness that Lin Shanchu had never felt in a rtionship. Many a time, people could calmly deal with tough breaks, but they would be at a loss when faced with a sudden gentle blow. It was the case for Lin Shanchu at this moment. She did not know how to respond. In a panic, she opened the car door and ran out. Miss Lin? Li MO looked in the direction where Lin Shanchu had left with a dumbfounded expression. Did the two of them fall out again? Li Moxun ran up to the window and frowned as he said, Big Brother, Miss Lin has left! Miss Lin was a patient. Why couldnt Huo Xunzhou give leeway to her? After thinking for a moment, Huo Xunzhou said, Ill get out of the car. You go after her and take her home safely. Arent you going after him? Li MO asked as he wondered why he had to chase after her. It was not like she was his girlfriend. Huo Xunzhou nced at him emotionlessly. LiMo said, Ill go right away. Lin Shanchu walked aimlessly on the streets in the middle of the night. She heard Li Mos voice before she went far away. Miss Lin, please get in the car. Lin Shanchu paused for a moment, but she quickly continued walking forward. Controlling the car speed, Li MO drove beside her and shouted at her, Big Brother isnt in the car. Only then did Lin Shanchu turn to look at him. The window of the back seat was open, and there was indeed no one inside. Li MO quickly got out of the car and opened the backseat door for her. Miss Lin, please get in the car. Ill drive you home. He saw Lin Shanchu staring at the car in confusion and exined, Ill drive you home first, and Ill pick him upter. Lin Shanchu got into the car. Huo Xunzhou is good in everything except for his bad temper. Please dont take it to heart Li MO thought that Huo Xunzhou had angered Lin Shanchu again. As a shipper, he was worried about their rtionship. Lin Shanchu slowly spoke up for Huo Xunzhou, He His temper isnt that bad. Oh, right, its not that bad. Li MO was a little confused. It did not look like they just had a quarrel. Li MO drove Lin Shanchu to the neighborhood entrance. After Lin Shanchu entered the neighborhood, he went back to pick up Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu walked to the door and fumbled around for a long time before she finally found the key. When she tried to open the door, she could not get the lock open no matter what. He Xiang opened the door from the inside. Sister Lin, youre back? She went over to open the door after she heard somemotion at the door and saw Lin Shanchu through the peephole. Yeah. Lin Shanchu nodded and went into the house. After He Xiang closed the door, she turned around and saw that Lin Shanchu had gone in without changing her shoes. He Xiang was stunned for a moment before she called out to Lin Shanchu, Sister Lin, you havent changed your shoes Lin Shanchu returned to change her shoes. He Xiang helped her take out her slippers with one hand and took her bag with the other hand. When Lin Shanchu bent down to change her shoes, He Xiang kept looking down at her. He felt that Lin Shanchu was acting weird. When Lin Shanchu changed her shoes and entered the room, He Xiang shouted from behind, Do you want to take a bath After two seconds, Lin Shanchu replied slowly, No need. He Xiang was lost in thought. Something was really wrong. The next day, Lin Shanchu saw Wen Huans messages right after she woke up. Wen Huan: Wen Huan: [tVideo]] Lin Shanchu looked at the photo and immediately became wide awake. Xia Jinmeng and Lu Shiyuan were hugging each other in the photo, looking like they were about to kiss. Lin Shanchu sat up on the bed and clicked open the video with anticipation. The background of the video was the entrance of a vi. It was probably Lu Shiyuans new home. Xia Jinmeng helped Lu Shiyuan out of the car. Due to the difference in body size and the fact that Lu Shiyuan was a little drunk, he stumbled as he got out of the car and Xia Jinmeng could not hold him steady. The two of them staggered and Xia Jinmeng fell into Lu Shiyuans arms. Then, she raised her head and met Lu Shiyuans eyes. After that, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him. Lu Shiyuan seemed to be a little confused. He took the initiative and held Xia Jinmengs face for two seconds before pushing her away mercilessly. Xia Jinmeng lost her bnce and fell to the ground. After that, Lu Shiyuan did not even look at Xia Jinmeng, who had fallen to the ground, and stormed into the vi. Lin Shanchu threw her phone aside in frustration. It was not the result she wanted to see! They were so drunk, but why didnt the two of them sleep together? Shortly afterwards, Lin Shanchu picked up her phone and texted Wen Huan. Lin Shanchu: [Thank you for your hard work.] Wen Huan: [Is Lu Shiyuan impotent? [I dont understand.jpg]] Lin Shanchu: [Maybe hes really impotent.] Wen Huan: [] Wen Huan: [Should I expose this matter?] Lin Shanchu remembered something. A photo and a video of Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai kissing never had been exposed. Most of them were ambiguous photos of them hugging each others shoulders and waists. They were not irond proof to show that they were having an affair. The photo of Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng kissing could be considered an irond proof. Considering Lu Shiyuans male lead aura, Lin Shanchu felt that an irond proof like this photo might not be able to be published.. Chapter 280 - 280: Do You Need Me to Snatch the Bride? Chapter 280: Do You Need Me to Snatch the Bride? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion However, she had to give it a try. Although Lu Shiyuan had not slept with Xia Jinmeng, they had kissed. He had kissed another woman, so he was no longer clean. Lin Shanchu replied to Wen Huan: [Edit out the part where they kissed and publish the first part.] Lu Shiyuan went homete at night with the female artist, Xia Jinmeng. This kind of thought-provoking title and video was enough for theizens to condemn Lu Shiyuan for three days. Wen Huan, who loved his job, quickly released the video ording to Lin Shanchus instructions. The hashtag #LuShiyuanAndXiaJinmengGoingHomeLateTogetheratNight quickly became trending. Theizensmented: [Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng sat in the front row at the brand ceremonyst night. I knew theres something going on between them that night.] [I have to say that Tang Qidai ver. 2.0 is progressing faster than Tang Qidai ver. 1.0.] [Im familiar with this plot. The two of them must have gone home together to y poker all night.] [Let Sister Rabbit go. You two can get married on the spot. Hahaha, Im dying ofughter.] At Lu Corporation, Zhou Yan stood in front of Lu Shiyuans desk and said, President Lu, I dont think this matter is that simple. After the public rtions department discovered the video, they immediately informed the social media administrator to deal with it. However, the other party was Entertainer Huan, a veteran inte celebrity with a lot of fans. The public rtions department failed to get rid of the video before it became trending. They could only inform Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan was the one who drove Lu Shiyuan homest night. Zhou Yan knew well what happened at the entrance of Lu Shiyuans house. The reporter who was following them could not have just captured the scene of Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng getting out of the car at the entrance of the house. The scene of the two of them kissing must have been captured too, but strangely, the entertainment reporter had edited out the kissing scene. Lu Shiyuan suddenly thought of something and sneered, Its indeed not that simple. Zhou Yan raised his eyes and looked at Lu Shiyuan with a puzzled look. So thats what she was nning, Lu Shiyuan muttered. President Lu, who are you talking about? Lin Shanchu. Lu Shiyuan seemed to have thought of something funny andughed out loud. Zhou Yan did not attend the banquetst night, so he did not know what happened. However, he dared not ask further questions after seeing Lu Shiyuans abnormal behavior. Lin Shanchu had deliberately gotten him and Xia Jinmeng drunk at the banquetst night. It turned out that it was all for this purpose. To his surprise, she even used such a move. Did she want to get rid of him so badly? She did not hesitate to push him to another woman! He would not let her have her way! Lu Shiyuan took a deep breath and instructed Zhou Yan, Contact the reporters. The trending topic went smoother than Lin Shanchu had expected. Lin Shanchu was in a good mood. Therefore, when Huo Chaosheng called to tell her that he would be returning to the capital the next day and asked Lin Shanchu to see him off, she agreed without hesitation. The location was still set at Yong Shui Pavilion. Lin Shanchu hesitated when she arrived at the entrance. What if Huo Xunzhou was here too? She had not thought of how to face Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked into the private room. Huo Chaosheng was the only one in the huge private room. Huo Xunzhou was not there. Whats with your expression? Huo Chaosheng asked while pouring wine. Lin Shanchu smiled as she said, Its an expression that I cant bear to part with you. Huo Chaosheng frowned. Dont make me sick. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Men were always pretentious. If she treated him better, he would just take advantage of her. Lin snau snortea ana sat aown Dee mm. Then, she wore a smile and pretended to be pitiful. I really cant bear to part with you. After you leave, no one will be able to form a pairing with me. Sob Be serious. Huo Chaosheng trembled in fear. He forcefully ced a ss of wine in front of Lin Shanchu. Just as Lin Shanchu reached out to touch the wine ss, she thought of Huo Xunzhou for no reason. With her current sickly body, she might be able to live for two more days if she drank less wine. Why arent you drinking? Huo Chaosheng clinked her ss with his and a clear clink rang out. Lin Shanchu snapped back to reality. She was shocked to realize that she started to have greedy thoughts of staying alive. Men were really troublesome, especially Huo Xunzhou. He always said something that disturbed her mind, making her uneasy. I am sick. I want to live for two more days. Lin Shanchu retracted her hand expressionlessly and leaned back against the chair with her arms crossed, looking a little angry. Oh. Huo Chaosheng took back his wine ss nonchntly. Ill drink it myself. Didnt you say that Im your friend? Lin Shanchu looked at him as she asked, Why dont you care about me even if Im sick? A normal person would go for treatment if they were sick, but you didnt probably its beyond cure. Huo Chaoshengs tone was as casual as when he talked about killing people. Speechless, Lin Shanchu felt that what Huo Chaosheng said made sense and could not refute him. Lin Shanchu silently picked up the ss of water beside her and clinked sses with Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng looked at her and said seriously, I will miss you when you die. Lin Shanchu replied, Thank you. You are wee. After Huo Chaosheng finished drinking, he asked her seriously, Other than killing Lu Shiyuan, do you have any other wishes? His tone was full of sincerity and moved Lin Shanchu a little. You should recuperate first. Huo Chaosheng had failedst time, so she did not think that he would seed again. Huo Chaosheng looked at his leg and thought that Lin Shanchus words made sense. Alright, Ill be back soon. Dont die too quickly! Lin Shanchu said, Eat your food! Huo Chaosheng fell silent. He reached for the wine again. Lin Shanchu quickly took the wine ss away and snorted, What is there to drink when your leg is broken? Why do you sound like my Third Brother? Huo Chaosheng asked faintly as he blinked. Smart people always talk like this, Lin Shanchu said righteously. Huo Chaosheng shrugged. He really did not drink anymore. After dinner, Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Chaosheng out of the private room and heard two waiters in front talking about her. I heard that Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu are finally getting married! Theyre still going to get married after everything that happened? How can it be fake? Lu Shiyuan announced during the exclusive interview that the wedding will be held in three days. Are they really getting married this time? I find it quite unbelievable. T know. right? After the entanglement for so many wears. T feel that the dust wont settle so easily After the waiters left, Huo Chaosheng turned to look at her. You and Lu Shiyuan are going to get married in three days? Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and said thoughtfully, Llke you, I just heard about it. Do you need me to snatch the bride? Huo Chaosheng asked excitedly. Although Huo Chaoshengs suggestion was a little ridiculous, it was notpletely useless. After thinking for a moment, Lin Shanchu said, Lets talk about it after I figure out the situation.. Chapter 281 - 281: Sister Lin, Did Someone Hack Your Account? Chapter 281: Sister Lin, Did Someone Hack Your ount? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion President Lu, thank you for epting our interview. Besides, we heard that your wedding is around the corner. Can you tell us about it? My fiance, Lin Shanchu, and I will be getting married in three days. Everyone is invited to attend the wedding. When Lu Shiyuan said those words, his tone and face were exceptionally gentle with a smile, as if he was looking forward to the wedding. When Lin Shanchu saw this part, she mmed her phone on the table with a bang. Thie scumbag, Lu Shiyuan, had probablye to his senses and guessed that she had deliberately gotten him and Xia Jinmeng drunkst night. He wanted to take revenge on her through this method. Didnt he fall for it because he had a guilty conscience? It had nothing to do with her! Huo Chaosheng was even more excited after watching the interview. He also wants to invite all the media outlets to the venue to watch the wedding. If I attend the wedding and take you away, wont all the media outletspete to report on it? Huo Chaoshengs tone sounded extremely eager. Ill get a new carter! Then, he was taken aback as he said, Its true that it doesnt look cool in that way. At this moment, Lin Shanchus phone rang. Qi Cheng called to ask about the marriage. Shanshan, where are you? Yong Shui Pavilion. Im going back now. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone and said, Im going home. Huo Chaosheng was looking at the messages on his phone. He looked up and said, Third Brother is here to pick me up. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and did not say anything. The two of them went out together. Lin Shanchus car was right next to Huo Xunzhous car. After He Xiang got out of the car, she looked at Huo Xunzhou and greeted, President Huo, you are here too. Huo Xunzhou nodded lightly at her in response. At this moment, Huo Chaosheng said, Third Brother, Shanshan is getting married. Can I go back a few dayster? Huo Xunzhou asked coldly, What does her marriage have to do with you? Shes my friend, Huo Chaosheng said seriously. I have to attend the wedding! Huo Xunzhou ignored Huo Chaosheng and turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Go to thepany. Ill go too! Huo Chaosheng said enthusiastically. Stay at home. After Huo Xunzhou finished speaking, Li MO helped him into the car. Lin Shanchu and He Xiang also got into the car. Only Huo Chaosheng and a group of bodyguards were left standing there. Huo Chaosheng watched as the two cars left one after another before muttering in confusion, Isnt Third Brother here to pick me up? Qi Cheng and Nan Mu had been waiting at Tianzhou Media. When Lin Shanchu and the others entered the office, Nan Mu immediately stood up. Shanshan, whats wrong with Lu Shiyuan this time? Why did he suddenly announce that the wedding will be held in three days? Lin Shanchu sneered, Desperate people take desperate action. Nan Mu said, Why dont we make a statement that you wont get married? Nan Mu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou after finished speaking. Huo Xunzhou did not make eye contact with him because he was looking at Lin Shanchu. It was easy to issue a statement. However, it depended on what Lin Shanchu was thinking. Lu Shiyuan posted on Weibo, Qi Cheng suddenly said. Lu Shiyuan reposted the interview: [Thank everyone for your blessing.] Lin Shanchus anger rose on the spot. She typed out ament: [To hell with the marriage, scumbag!] She sent it out without hesitation after typing it. She felt a little better after the insult. She also felt regretful. Lu Shiyuan had the male lead aura. As the female lead, if she posted such ament insulting Lu Shiyuan in public, it would definitely be censored by the stupid system. After Lin Shanchu clicked on the post button, she locked her phone and threw it aside. Out of sight, out of mind. She could not even say a word of refusalst time when Lu Shiyuan announced in public that the wedding was around the corner. The statement of refusing the marriage might not be able to go public. Lin Shanchu lowered her head and pondered for a while. Suddenly, she felt that the atmosphere in the office was a little strange. She looked up and realized that everyone was looking at her. Why are you looking at me like that? Lin Shanchu touched her face and turned to ask He Xiang, Is there something on my face? He Xiang blinked and said tentatively, Sister Lin, did someone hack your ount? Lin Shanchu replied, Huh? She turned her head and looked around. Only then did she realize that everyone was looking at her in disbelief. Lin Shanchu took He Xiangs phone and found that thement she had just posted on Lu Shiyuans Weibo was disyed on the screen. [To hell with the marriage, scumbag!] She had posted thisment sessfully? Lin Shanchu stared at the screen in disbelief for a long time. Then, she was overjoyed and could not help butugh out loud. However, she quickly stopped smiling and returned to her usual gentle self. After that, she said seriously, Looks like my ount was hacked. As everyone knew, there was a public rtions method in the entertainment industry called hacked ounts. Nan Mu cleared his throat and said seriously, Hurry up and make a statement. Ill get someone to make a statement. As he spoke, he got up and left. Qi Cheng, who seemed to havee to his senses, also stood up and said, Ill go check on the situation too. He Xiang was a little confused as she said, I Im going to the restroom. Li MO said, Im going to get some water. Only Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu were left in the room. Their eyes met. Huo Xunzhou looked calm, but Lin Shanchu felt a little awkward. I saw it. Huo Xunzhou interrupted her as soon as she opened her mouth. Huh? I saw you typing ament. Huo Xunzhou entered the room with her earlier, so it was natural that he sat next to her. When Lin Shanchu was angrilymenting on Lu Shiyuans Weibo, he saw the whole process next to her. Lin Shanchu said, You Its alright. I dont mind. Ill still travel around the world with you when the timees, Huo Xunzhou said with a forgiving expression. I havent promised you yet! Think about it carefully then. It was supposed to be a heavy topic, but Huo Xunzhou made it sound so light that even Lin Shanchu loosened up. Im going to marry Lu Shiyuan in two days, and youre still asking me to consider it? Lu Shiyuan doesnt have the final say in marriage. Do you have a way to prevent me from getting married? I told you, you cant get married. Only then Lin Shanchu remember that they had talked about this matter before. At that time, Huo Xunzhou said that the marriage would not happen. How did she answer him back then? She said that this matter was between her and Lu Shiyuan and he got nothing to do with it. Lin Shanchuughed as she said, I believe you. Huo Xunzhou was stunned for a moment before he smiled and his eyes brightened. However, Lin Shanchu continued, However, I have decided to marry Lu Shiyuan this time.. Chapter 282 - 282: I May Not Be As Honorable As You Think Chapter 282: I May Not Be As Honorable As You Think Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The smile on Huo Xunzhous face faded. After a long while, Huo Xunzhou asked in a deep voice, What are you going to Ill tell youter. Lin Shanchu fell silent for a moment before she added, If there is a chance. Seeing that Huo Xunzhou was about to speak again, Lin Shanchu interrupted him. You should know that if I dont want to tell you, its useless even if you threaten me with ruining the wedding. Besides, you wont do that. Her confident tone irritated Huo Xunzhou. He reached out and grasped the armrest of his wheelchair. I may not be as honorable as you think. If he insisted on making Lin Shanchus marriage fail, she would not be able to do anything to him. I know, but.. She tilted her head slightly and smiled before she said in a cute tone, Brother Xunzhou, you wont do anything against my wishes. You Huo Xunzhou looked at her cute face with her head tilted and really could not say anything harsh. He angrily turned his head to the side and looked elsewhere. Are you angry? Lin Shanchu tilted her body to look at his face. Huo Xunzhou still grimaced, but his tone was very gentle. No, I am not. He was angry at himself. He was angry that he could do nothing about her. Thats good. Lin Shanchuughed and sat up straight. Huo Xunzhou suddenly remembered something else. Which hospital did you go to for the checkup? In the hospital where we first met. Lin Shanchu noticed something was wrong with Huo Xunzhous expression. Whats wrong? There is no record of you being diagnosed with cancer in that hospital. You investigated me? Lin Shanchu asked as her eyes widened. Huo Xunzhou cleared his throat awkwardly. Well, thats not the point. Lin Shanchu said, Oh Huo Xunzhou sighed helplessly. Only then did Lin Shanchu be serious. Why couldnt you find it? With Huo Xunzhous wealth and connections, it should be possible for him to investigate such a trifle. What do you think? Huo Xunzhou asked her. Lin Shanchu had a sh of inspiration. She remembered that when the system activated the defense mechanism, it erased the evidence that was harmful to Lu Shiyuan. The system thought that the evidence was dangerous and could not be made public. Simrly, from the systems perspective, the fact that she was terminally ill was also a crucial piece of information that must not be known to others. Therefore, Huo Xunzhou could not find her medical records no matter what. In this way, everything could be exined. Maybe the hospitals system malfunctioned? Lin Shanchu replied calmly. Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door. Wereing in. The door was pushed open as Nan Mus voice rang out. Nan Mu and the others walked in. The statement has been issued, but someizens have taken screenshots of Shanshansments. Its already spread all over the Inte. Nan Mu looked helpless. It has even be trending. Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu and said, Shanshan, delete thement first. After all, Lin Shanchu was a public figure and there were bound to be restrictions on herments on the public tform. Lin Shanchu reluctantly turned on Weibo and handed the phone to Qi Cheng. Help me delete it. After returning home at night, Lin Shanchu had nothing better to do, so she turned on Weibo to look at thements. Her name had topped the entertainment ranking for most of the day. Her name still ranked the top three in the ranking. When Lin Shanchu clicked on the trending topic, she saw the statement issued by Tianzhou Media on her behalf. [Our artist, Lin Shanchu, did not posted thement through her count. It was done by a third party who hacked the ount.] This Weibo post was reposted over 100,000 times with nearly 100,000ments. Thements section looked peaceful. [We all understand! [doge]] [Got it. [doge]] [Even if you dont make a statement, we know the count has been hacked. [doge]] [You know, I know, everyone knows. [doge]] When Lin Shanchu left thements section, her mind was filled with the doge emojis. Behind them were some popr marketing ounts and Weibo ounts of public figures. Someizens Weibo posts were bumped due to the great number ofments. The Knights-Errant of the Jianghu: [The public rtions are the veteran actors who hacked the ount! [Image]] The attached picture was a screenshot of Lin Shanchusment. Thements section: [This operation is simply making me numb fromughing.] [Doesnt Lin Shanchu have a bottleneck of fans? Damn it, I was her fan thest time she was trending. How annoying!] [Its really fun to watch beautiful women to insult people.] [Do you all think that Lin Shanchus ount hasnt been hacked? If the ount wasnt hacked, why didnt the social media administratore out to rify?] [Social media administrator: I wanted to rify too, but he gave too much money.] [The scumbag publicly insulted by his soon-to-be-married fiance wants to save face. He will embarrass himself if the social media adminstratores out to rify and remove the fig leaf.] Netizens nowadays were so smart. Lin Shanchu wanted to like thesements. Before her fingers touched the screen, a new WeChat notification from Qi Cheng appeared on the top of her phone. Qi Cheng: [Just browse Weibo and dont make a move.] Lin Shanchu silently retracted her hand that was about to touch the screen. She suspected that Qi Cheng had installed surveince cameras in her house. Damn! Boring! The next moment, Huo Chaoshengs WeChat message popped up. Huo Chaosheng: [Third Brother allowed me to stay for two more days. I can go and snatch the bride during the wedding. Lets go and look at the new car tomorrow.] Huo Chaosheng made it sound like she was going to marry him. Lin Shanchu: [Im not going.] Huo Chaosheng: [I have to pick up a new car to disy ostentation.] She felt that Huo Chaosheng simply wanted to be in the limelight because he thought it was fun. How could she let Huo Chaosheng be the only one in the limelight when she got married? Of course, they wanted to be in the limelight together. Therefore, she finally agreed to Huo Chaoshengs request. Lin Shanchu: [Okay.] The next day, Lin Shanchu apanied Huo Chaosheng to look at the new car early in the morning. After a short while, she received a WeChat message from Wen Huan. Wen Huan: [Youre getting married in two days. Are you going to pick up a new car with another man today? [photo][photo][photo]] He took a photo of Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng entering the showroom. In the photo, Lin Shanchu was pushing Huo Chaosheng and the two of them were chatting withughter. Lin Shanchu: [How did you manage to find me at any time? Did you put a tracker on me?] Wen Huan: [ Thats not the main point.] Lin Shanchu replied experiencedly: [You can just publish it directly. Huo Chaosheng and I dont care.] Therefore, when Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng came out after ordering a new car, the news of them buying a new car together was reported. Huo Chaosheng loved sports cars. When he picked up Lin Shanchust time, he drove a sports car. This time, he picked up a new sports car. The reddish-brown car was beautiful and gorgeous, worth more than ten million yuan. He did not even blink when he swiped the card. When they came out of the showroom, Huo Chaosheng still looked unsatisfied and said, If it werent for the fact that were running out of time, I could have gotten someone to bring a better-looking car from the capital. Lin Shanchu curled her lip as she reminded him, The space in the car is narrow.. Can you fit your injured leg? Chapter 283 - 283: Behave If You Want to Have a Better Life in the Future Chapter 283: Behave If You Want to Have a Better Life in the Future Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Bereft of speech, Huo Chaoshengs expression froze. He had forgotten about this matter. Lin Shanchus smile disappeared as she said seriously, If youre happy, you can cause a scene at the wedding. Theres no need to snatch the bride. Why? Huo Chaosheng frowned. I have other ns, Lin Shanchu said calmly. She managed to post thement that insulted Lu Shiyuan on Weibo probably because of the chain effect of the kiss between Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng. Other than being physically and mentally clean, the male lead of the angst novel was useless in other aspects. Once Lu Shiyuan touched another woman, the so-called male lead aura would be weakened. If he really had intercourse with another woman He would probably lose his male lead aurapletely. It was not a bad thing for Lu Shiyuan to propose marriage at this time. This was a rare opportunity for Lin Shanchu. Whether it was kidnapping, drugging, or other underhanded methods, she would definitely send Lu Shiyuan to another womans bed this time. Normally, it would be quite troublesome to handle this kind of operation. However, she would have plenty of opportunities to make a move if it was crowded on the wedding day. What n? Huo Chaosheng was excited as the scene of Lu Shiyuans blood sttered at the wedding scene came to his mind. Lin Shanchu saw through his thoughts. After two seconds of silence, she said, Help me get something. Huo Chaoshengs eyes brightened. Say it. Lin Shanchu leaned closer and whispered into his ear. After listening what she said, Huo Chaosheng furrowed his brows. Alright alright. When Lin Shanchu went back, she saw Lu Shiyuans car at the neighborhood entrance. It was obvious that Lu Shiyuan had been waiting there for a while. When he got out of the car, he mmed the car door loudly, looking furious. Our wedding will be held in two days, and you went to pick up the car with Huo Chaosheng today. You really want to embarrass me utterly! You can also be together with Xia Jinmeng. I dont care about my dignity. Lin Shanchu looked at him with disdain. Lu Shiyuans face looked tense, but soon, heughed again. I cant control you now, but you wont be able to call the shots after we get married. Lin Shanchu just looked at him coldly without a word. Lu Shiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively, Lin Shanchu, since you hate me so much, why dont you just refuse to marry me? A flicker of light shed across Lin Shanchus eyes. Did Lu Shiyuan be suspicious so quickly? Lu Shiyuanughed and moved closer to Lin Shanchu. Why arent you saying anything? Then Ill answer for you. Its because you cant refuse to marry me. Lin Shanchu raised her eyes slightly and finally looked at Lu Shiyuan. How did he know about this? Thest time when I announced in front of the reporters that the wedding date was around the corner, you could have refuted my words in public, but you didnt. I thought about it carefully for a long time after I went back. You didnt change your mind at thest minute, but you couldnt say it. Lu Shiyuan noticed the change in Lin Shanchus expression and said confidently, Looks like I guessed right. Hmph! Lin Shanchu snorted coldly and turned her face away. She did not show it on her face, but she heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. It turned out that Lu Shiyuan was just guessing. She thought that Lu Shiyuan had also awakened and knew that he was the male lead of an angst novel who could do whatever he wanted. I found it strange before. Why would such a good person change so much in such a short period of time? Lu Shiyuan sized Lin Shanchu up andmented, I should have known. Something incredible must have happened to you. Otherwise, with your personality, you wouldnt have done such a thing. I know that you wont tell me what happened to you. But it doesnt matter. We still have time in the future. You can take your time and tell me. Im very patient. Lin Shanchu was silent from the beginning to the end. In Lu Shiyuans opinion, it was more like an acquiescence. It was exactly as he had guessed. Lin Shanchu had caused so manymotions in order to get rid of his control. However, there was a force in the dark that made her unable to get rid of him. He felt extremely happy when he thought that Lin Shanchu would live under his control for the rest of her life. The wedding will be held in two days. Im here today to pick you up to try on the wedding dress. Behave if you want to have a better life in the future. After Lu Shiyuan finished speaking, he reached out to hold her hand. Lin Shanchu walked away, opened the car door and got into his car. Lu Shiyuan looked at his hand that was suspended in mid-air. Then, he flung it angrily and got into the car. It did not matter. After all, Lin Shanchu would cease to be smug in a few days. There were long days ahead. He would have a chance to return all the humiliation that Lin Shanchu had brought upon him. Besides, no matter how unhappy she was, she had to follow him to try on the wedding dress. Thinking of this, the anger in Lu Shiyuans heart subsided. When he opened the car door, the anger that had subsided suddenly surged again. He drove here himself today. When he opened the door to the drivers seat, he found that the front passenger seat was empty. Lin Shanchu was sitting in the back. Was she treating him like a chauffeur? Lu Shiyuan opened the rear door and said coldly, Sit in front. Lin Shanchu responded by taking out earphones from her bag and putting them on. Lu Shiyuan clenched his fists, closed his eyes and endured it again and again. Then, he mmed the car door with a bang and bent down to sit in the drivers seat. He mmed on the gas pedal and the car shot out like an arrow. However, Lin Shanchu, who was sitting in the rear seat, was not affected at all because she had fastened her seatbelt. Lin Shanchu nced at the rearview mirror. Lu Shiyuans face was as cold as frost. He red ahead as if there was an enemy in front of him. Lin Shanchus lips curled into a disdainful smile. Then, she lowered her head and sent a WeChat message to He Xiang. Lin Shanchu: [Im going to try on the wedding dress with Lu Shiyuan. Ill be backter.] He Xiang: [Ill be right there!!!] The three exmation marks at the end were enough to exin He Xiangs feelings at the moment. Lin Shanchu thought about it. Her temper was so bad now. What if she angered Lu Shiyuan and made him go crazy on the spot? In that case, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. Where are we going to try on the wedding dress? she asked Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan did not even turn his head and said, You will know once we reach there. You wont tell me, right? Lin Shanchu slowly opened the car door. You Lu Shiyuan saw Lin Shanchu opening the car door through the rearview mirror. His face darkened as he gritted his teeth. Ningshan Road! Lin Shanchu closed the car door after getting the answer. She was also terrified. It was very dangerous to opening the car door because she would die if she fell out. Lin Shanchu replied to He Xiang: [Ningshan Road, bring the bodyguards.] Right after Lu Shiyuans car stopped at the entrance of the bridal shop, a ck car stopped in front of his car. He Xiang took the lead and got out of the car.. Then, she dashed over and shouted, Sister Lin! Chapter 284 - 284: What Did You Delete? Chapter 284: What Did You Delete? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu clicked her tongue secretly. This kind of extravagance must have cost a lot of money. When Lu Shiyuan got out of the car with a cold face, He Xiang had run up to him. Then, he said coldly, What are you trying to do? President Lu. He Xiang nodded at him politely before she said seriously, The world is dangerous and there are many bad people. Sister Lin also has many anti-fans, so its better to bring more bodyguards for safety purposes when she goes out. Although He Xiang did not mention his name, Lu Shiyuan could notice the obvious innuendo. Lu Shiyuan had to swallow his anger in front of Lin Shanchu, but there was no need for him to do so in front of an insignificant assistant. He sneered and said sternly, With me around, no one else has the right to worry about my fiances safety. He Xiang had followed Lin Shanchu to some big asions, but she was still young. She was a little afraid if she really had to face Lu Shiyuan head-on. At this moment, Lin Shanchu slowly got out of the car. My assistant does things for my own good. Its not up to others to speak of turn. He Xiang was shorter than Lin Shanchu by half a head, so Lin Shanchu reached out and pulled her into the bridal shop. The bridal shop had been booked by Lu Shiyuan. Everyone in the shop was waiting for Lin Shanchu toe over and try on the wedding dress. Just now, the owner of the bridal shop and a group of employees were waiting at the entrance to wee Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan. However, they did not expect that the two of them would almost quarrel over an assistant. In their line of work, they had seen a lot of such incidents. When Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan entered the shop one after another, the employees lowered their heads experiencedly andpletely suppressed their curiosity. Lin Shanchu and He Xiang walked in front. As they walked, Lin Shanchu asked her softly, Why did you bring so many people over? He Xiang sounded confused. I called Brother Qi and said that Id bring a few bodyguards to look for you. I dont know why he got so many people for me. Lin Shanchu had a brief look at the bodyguards. Most of them were familiar faces that she had seen before. Did Li MO called over the bodyguards? An employee of the bridal shop came forward to lead the way. Miss Lin, please have a seat. Thank you. Lin Shanchu turned her head and smiled politely. Right after Lin Shanchu sat down, an employee brought over tea and snacks that had been prepared beforehand. Please have some tea. When serving tea and cing the snacks, the employee deliberately slowed down and sized Lin Shanchu up for some unknown reason. Lin Shanchu pretended not to notice the employees behavior and took a sip of tea. The employee did not walk far with the tray before she whispered to another employee, Oh my god, shes so beautiful! And shes so gentle. Do you think shell agree to take a photo with meter? Gentle? Didnt you surf the Inte in the past few days? Didnt you see the insultingment she made about Lu Shiyuan? I did, but still I think shes very gentle He Xiang, who heard the conversation, smiled and whispered into Lin Shanchus ear, Sister Lin, they praised you for being gentle and beautiful Lin Shanchu smiled and looked down at her phone. Li MO was probably the one who arranged the bodyguards. She wanted to send Li MO a WeChat message to thank him. However, she only remembered that she did not have Li Mots WeChat contact after looking through her WeChat contacts. Her fingers unconsciously swiped across the screen before she clicked open Huo Xunzhous chat box. Lin Shanchu: [Thank Li MO on my behalf.] She was about to send the message, but she suddenly stopped. If Li MO had arranged the bodyguards, wouldnt he know that she was trying on the wedding dress with Lu Shiyuan? If Li MO knew about it, how could Huo Xunzhou not know? Thinking of this, Lin Shanchu started to feel a little guilty. She felt like a promiscuous scumbag who had cheated on him. Lin Shanchu hesitated for a moment before deleting all the edited messages. Just as she was about to exit the chat interface, Huo Xunzhou sent her a message. Huo Xunzhou: [What did you delete?] Lin Shanchu: [!!!] She suspected that everyone around her had installed surveince cameras on her! Especially Huo Xunzhou! He must have installed a surveince camera in her head. Huo Xunzhou: [I saw youre typing over there, but you didnt send a message.] It was more than just a coincidence. At this moment, Lu Shiyuan sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Shanchu. The boss asked the employee to bring the wedding dress over to show them. President Lu, Miss Lin, these are all newly designed wedding dresses by our chief designer. Miss Lin, you can try them on first and we will adjust the sizeter if youre satisfied. Lu Shiyuan nced at Lin Shanchu indifferently, indicating that they just had to show the wedding dresses to Lin Shanchu. The boss looked at Lin Shanchu. Miss Lin? Looking up from the phone screen, Lin Shanchu smiled and spoke perfunctorily in a serious tone. Im fine with anything. Good job, guys. The boss was speechless. Lin Shanchu was well-educated and polite even when she gave him a perfunctory reply. Lu Shiyuans grimace deepened even more. The situation was a little awkward. Of course, the most awkward one was Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu turned her attention back to her phone after finished speaking. She was thinking about how to reply to Huo Xunzhou. He Xiang hesitated and said, Sister Lin, why dont I help you take a look? Yeah, Lin Shanchu replied without raising her head. The boss calmly asked the employees to bring the wedding dresses to He Xiang and let her help Lin Shan with the primary selection. They were paid to do things. It would be fine as long as the wedding dress was sold. Lin Shanchu pondered for a long time before replying to Huo Xunzhou: [What a coincidence.] Huo Xunzhou replied: [Yeah.] In fact, it was not a coincidence at all. Li MO had told him that Lin Shanchu was going to try on wedding dresses with Lu Shiyuan today. He guessed that Lin Shanchu was now trying on wedding dresses in the bridal shop. Although he knew that Lin Shanchu was not really going to marry Lu Shiyuan, he still felt irritated when he thought of her trying on wedding dresses with another man. In the end, he couldnt help but click open the WeChat dialog box. Before he could think of what to say, he realized that the other party was typing. HUO xunznou not usually talk m, so tms reply did not seem to De a problem. However, Lin Shanchu could sense that Huo Xunzhou was not in a good mood from the word Yeah. These two please. He Xiang helped Lin Shanchu pick two wedding dresses. He Xiang pulled Lin Shanchus arm and said, Sister Lin, I picked these two. What do you think? The boss echoed, Miss Lin, if you think they are good, you might as well try on them. Sure. Lin Shanchu smiled as she said, He Xiang, go try on them. Huh? Lin Shanchu was going to get married, but she was the one to try on the wedding dresses? How was that even possible? The smile on Lin Shanchus face deepened. Before she could speak, He Xiang quickly stood up and said, Alright. She was afraid that Lin Shanchu would raise her sry again. Her current sry had been raised to a ridiculous level. It should not be raised any more.. Chapter 285 - 285: Huo Xunzhou Joined the Super Topic, 922 Snatch-the-bride Squad Chapter 285: Huo Xunzhou Joined the Super Topic, 922 Snatch-the-bride Squad Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiang voluntarily stood up from the sofa. The boss was so scared that he stood rooted to the ground and dared not move an inch. It was the first time he had encountered a bride asking someone to help her try on her wedding dresses! The boss secretly turned his head and nced at Lu Shiyuan. He immediately trembled with fright. Good grief! Lu Shiyuans gaze was terrifying, as if he wanted to kill someone. Lin Shanchu did not seem to notice Lu Shiyuans expression at all and even urged indifferently, Hurry up and go. Im tired. The earlier you finish trying on the wedding dresses, the earlier I can go home and rest. The boss looked at Lu Shiyuan with trepidation. Then, President Lu well have her try on the wedding dresses then? Lu Shivuan exerted great force as he ced the ss of water in his hand on the coffee table in front of him. Thud! Even He Xiang trembled with fear. Only Lin Shanchu remained unfazed. The group of bodyguards brought by He Xiang voluntarily moved forward and stood behind Lin Shanchu. Lu Shiyuan pursed his lips. Then, he gritted his teeth as he said, Didnt you hear my fiance say that shes tired? Hurry up and take her to try on the wedding dresses. Alright! The boss immediately gave his employees a look, signaling them to take He Xiang to try on the wedding dresses. Lin Shanchu felt less guilty and sent Huo Xunzhou a WeChat message. Lin Shanch: [My assistant is so nice. Im going to give her a raise.] Huo Xunzhou: [Huh?] Lin Shanchu: [She is helping me try on the wedding dresses.] When Huo Xunzhou saw this message, he curled his lips slightly: [Indeed, you should raise her sry.] When Lin Shanchu saw his reply, her lips curled into a smile. Before the wedding, Lu Shiyuan could not do anything about Lin Shanchu, so he could only put in effort elsewhere. The more Lin Shanchu refused to get married, the more he wanted to make the wedding grand and let everyone know about their marriage. Lu Shiyuan booked thergest hotel in the city. He sent invitations to all the influential people in the city. All the media outlets,pany employees and artists were invited. For a time, the news of Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuans marriage spread like wildfire in Xu City, bing the most trending topic.

Articles like How luxurious is the hotel? , How amazing is the guest list? and the like were constantly published.

Her senior fan, Jiang Tang, even directly asked Lin Shanchu on her Weibo page using used her main ount Tangtang Jiangjiang. [Sis, just blink if youre kidnapped. Ill bring someone to rescue you.] Tangtang Jiangjiang was a very influential blogger and a big fan of Lin Shanchu. As soon as she appeared, other fans also showed up and leftments for Lin Shanchu.

Theizensmented: [These two topics together are too much.] [I have a feeling that the wedding wont go well.] [I recalled Lin Shanchus elimination from My Stage back then. I think her fans might really try to snatch the bride!] [Lin Shanchus fans are really mysterious. Just like Lin Shanchu herself, it is possible for them to do anything.] Zhou Yan reported what happened online to Lu Shiyuan. Dont worry about it. Lu Shiyuan snorted coldly after listening to the report. Understood. Zhou Yan turned around and went out. But soon, he knocked on the door and came in. Lu Shiyuan raised his head and looked at him impatiently. What happened this time? On the Inte Right after Zhou Yan opened his mouth, Lu Shiyuan interrupted him impatiently, Those fans are just shouting slogans. Do they really dare toe and snatch the bride? Its not them Zhou Yan said with aplicated expression, Its Huo Chaosheng. When Lu Shiyuan heard Huo Chaoshengs name, his expression immediately turned serious. Whats wrong with Huo Chaosheng? Zhou Yan replied, Huo Chaosheng has joined the super topic, 922 Snatch-the-bride Squad. Snap! The pen in Lu Shiyuans hand was broken with his bare hands. Lin Shanchus fans might have created 922 Snatch-the-bride Squad to shout slogans. However, it might not be the same case for Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng even dared to hit him with a car in publicst time. He was really capable of doing something like snatching the bride. Zhou Yan silently ced the tablet in front of Lu Shiyuan. The hastag #HuoChaoshengJoinedSuperTopic922Snatch-the-brideSquad was trending. This topic conspicuously topped the trending search list. Lu Shiyuanughed in rage. After a long time, he said gloomily, Reinforce the security patrol on that day! Huo Chaosheng must not be allowed to go to the wedding venue. Zhou Yan replied, Understood. After Lin Shanchu saw the trending topic #HuoChaoshengJoinedSuperTopic922Snatch-the-brideSquad, she gave Huo Chaosheng a call. Since youre so brazen, Lu Shiyuan will probably have to strengthen the security patrol on that day. Im not afraid of him. Huo Chaosheng scoffed coldly and did not take Lu Shiyuan seriously at all. Finally, Huo Chaosheng said, Ill send you the things you want tomorrow night. Lin Shanchu replied, Alright. After Huo Chaosheng, Yun Wu also joined the super topic, 922 Snatch-the-bride Squad. Netizen: [Ahhhh, my LinYun pairing is here!] it was followed by Ji Yuan. Netizen: [Ji Yuan, what happened to you?] Ji Yuan: [Im a member of the atmosphere team. Im here to cheer for Teacher Alec and Sister Lin.] Then, Jian Zhen also joined the super topic. Netizen: [Sister, calm down. Youre still underage.] Jian Zhen: [Atmosphere team member +1.

[Cheer for my bosss younger brother.] Theizens suddenly realized that Huo Chaosheng was Huo Xunzhous younger brother. Huo Xunzhou was here to cheer Huo Chaosheng on. Thest person to join the super topic was Wen Tongtong. Netizen: [Unusual pairings have increased???] On the day before September 22nd, the topics about the snatch-the-bride squad overwhelmed the trending search list.. Chapter 286 - 286: This Post on Moments Was Only Visible to One Person Chapter 286: This Post on Moments Was Only Visible to One Person Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The Inte was filled with reports about the snatch-the-bride squad. Lu Shiyuan had invested arge sum of money for the poprity of the new articles, but it was suppressed by the members of the snatch-the-bride squad. All the artists who joined the snatch-the-bride squad became trending. Huo Xunzhou had been on the trending search list after he joined the snatch-the-bride squad. As for the groom, Lu Shiyuan, he was not on the list. Lu Shiyuan tried to spend money to get on the trending search list. But now, no one cared about Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchus marriage. Everyone only cared whether Huo Chaosheng was really going to snatch the bride. Although Huo Xunzhou had retired from the entertainment industry, his fans justy low in the fandom along with him. They were not dead. Arge number of his fans swarmed into the snatch-the-bride squad to cheer for Huo Chaosheng. Although Lu Shiyuan had bought the trending topics, there was not much discussion under those topics. As a result, everyone knew that he had bought the trending topics. Theizens took advantage of the situation and ridiculed him again. [Im dying ofughter. Hahaha, you actually have the nerve to buy the trending topics. Why dont you reflect on why no one cares about you?] [When will he go bankrupt? He still have the money to buy the trending topics!] [Sister Rabbit also has shares in thepany. Did you spend Sister Rabbits monev to buy the trending topics?] [Just give up. No one cares about your marriage with Sister Rabbit! ] Theizensments reminded Lin Shanchu. She had to go to thepany to check the ounts. Lu Corporation had earned a lot of money over the years, but she never received any dividends. There was her parents hard-earned money in it, so she could not let Lu Shiyuan take advantage of it easily. Lin Shanchu browsed Weibo for a while and posted a post under the super topic, 922 snatch-the-bride Squad. Actress Lin ShanchuV: [Everyone, thank you for your love and concern. [Heart hands] [Heart hands]] Theizensmented: [Im reallyughing my head off. Does Lu Shiyuan still have to get married at this point?] [How can he call off the wedding? After all, Sister Rabbit has shares in Lu Corporation.] At night, Huo Chaosheng arrived at Lin Shanchus house as promised. Lin Shanchu opened the door and saw the bodyguards behind Huo Chaosheng carrying a big gift box. Such a big lineup? Lin Shanchu asked. Thats a congrattory gift. Huo Chaosheng smiled proudly. After entering the house, Huo Chaosheng asked the bodyguards to put down the gift box and then instructed them to wait outside. Lin Shanchu nced at He Xiang. He Xiang sensibly walked towards the bedroom as she said, Im a little sleepy. Im going to sleep for a while. Only Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng were left in the living room. Huo Chaosheng took out a packet of medicinal powder from his pocket. The thing you want is a strong drug that melts in water and takes effect in a minute. Lin Shanchu took it and thanked him with a smile. Thank you. Huo Chaosheng stared at Lin Shanchu for a moment, but he did not say anything in the end. Instead, he opened the gift box beside him. Lin Shanchu looked into the gift box and was slightly startled. A wedding dress? Are you surprised? Huo Chaosheng said proudly, Third Brother chose it for me. Huo Xunzhou chose it Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and did not say anything. Huo Chaosheng continued, This was the idea that Third Brother gave me. Wearing the wedding dress that I gave you and walking the red carpet with Lu Shiyuan.. Huo Chaosheng could not help butugh out loud at the thought of Lu Shiyuans furious expression at the wedding venue. Lin Shanchu lowered her head and caressed the wedding dress. She lowered her eyes slightly so that he would not clearly see the emotions in her eyes. She chuckled, Your Third Brother is quite mean. Thats called smart, Huo Chaosheng corrected her unhappily. Third Brother is the smartest person in the world. The brainless brotherplex started again Lin Shanchu carefully closed the gift box and looked up at Huo Chaosheng. Since its from you, it must fit me very well. I wont try on it. Huo Chaoshengs mind was filled with the thought of causing a scene at Lu Shiyuans ce tomorrow, so he did not pay attention to these small details. Before Huo Chaosheng left, he did not forget to give her her blessings. You must wear this wedding dress to the wedding venue tomorrow! Definitely, Lin Shanchu replied seriously. Huo Chaosheng left satisfied. Lin Shanchu closed the door and returned to the living room. Then, He Xiang came out of the bedroom and looked around. Has Teacher Alec left? Yes. Lin Shanchu sat on the sofa and opened the gift box again, taking out the wedding dress. He Xiangs eyes widened. Wow, its so beautiful. I think so too, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. He Xiang noticed that Lin Shanchus smile never stopped as she looked at the wedding dress. The more she smiled, the happier she became. Teacher Alec gave it to you? she asked. Yes. Huo Xunzhou bought it and Huo Chaosheng sent it over. Therefore, it was not wrong to say that Huo Chaosheng had given it to her. He Xiang did not know whether Lin Shanchu liked Huo Chaosheng or not, but seeing how happy Lin Shanchu was, she suggested, Why dont you try on it then? Sure, Lin Shanchu carried the gift box back to the bedroom. He Xiang looked at her back and tilted her head in confusion. Did Lin Shanchu really like Huo Chaosheng? Otherwise, why would Lin Shanchu be so happy to try on the wedding dress? Lin Shanchu needed help to tie the corsetce at the back of the wedding dress. Lin Shanchu called He Xiang into the bedroom. He Xiang,e in and help me. Iming. He Xiang was very skillful. She quickly helped Lin Shanchu put on the wedding dress and even adjusted the hem of her dress. Lin Shanchus figure was well-proportioned, tall and slim. She looked good in any clothes, and the exquisite wedding dress would only serve as a foil to her. After He Xiang helped her adjust the wedding dress, she stepped back and said, Its so fitting and beautiful. Theres no need to make any more modifications. I didnt expect Teacher Alec to be so meticulous. Hes quite meticulous, Lin Shanchu said softly. He Xiang took out her phone and said, Sister Lin, Ill help you take a photo. Alright. Lin Shanchu stood up straight and posed properly. He Xiang took a photo and showed it to Lin Shanchu. How is it? Send it to me, Lin Shanchu replied after taking a look at it. He Xiang sent the photo to Lin Shanchus WeChat and said, Ive sent it to you, Sister Lin. She saw Lin Shanchu save the photo and open her WeChat Moments. Lin Shanchu was going to post her wedding photos on her Moments. Lin Shanchu had indeed posted it on her Moments. However, she did something else before she posted it on her Moments. She clicked on the Who can see it option at the bottom. Under the Partially visible option, she only selected one person from the contact list. In other words, this post on Moments was only visible to one person. As a considerate assistant, He Xiang would usually like Lin Shanchus post andment on it right after she posted on her Moments. However, she clicked open her Moments and scrolled through it, but she did not see Lin Shanchus post. Strange, didnt Lin Shanchu post it on her Moments? She then clicked on Lin Shanchus profile picture and scrolled through her Moments. Sister Lin, didnt you post it on your Moments? she asked Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu blinked guiltily and changed the topic, I want to eat supper. Oh, okay, Ill make it right away! The considerate assistant immediately put aside the matter about the WeChat Moments and went into the kitchen to prepare supper for Lin Shanchu.. Chapter 287 - 287: My Girlfriend Is Married, But I Am Not the Groom Chapter 287: My Girlfriend Is Married, But I Am Not the Groom Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Nan Mu had a dinner party in the evening. He would pass by Tianzhou Media on his way home from the restaurant, so he ordered supper for thepanys employees who were working overtime. When he arrived at Tianzhou Media, supper had just been delivered. The employees were overjoyed. Thank you, President Nan! Someone asked him, President Nan, you didnt order supper for Best Actor Huo? Xunzhou is still in thepany? Nan Mu asked in surprise. You dont know? He really did not know about it. Ill go take a look. You guys eat first. Nan Mu walked to the door of Huo Xunzhous office. Then, he pushed the door open quietly like a thief, trying to peek through the crack in the door, but he was caught off guard and met Huo Xunzhous emotionless gaze. Nan Mu, who had been discovered, smiled awl?vardly and walked in while rubbing his hands. Why are you still in thepany at thiste hour? Huo Xunzhou replied, Work. Nan Mu raised his hand and looked at his watch. Its eleven oclock. I love my job, Huo Xunzhou said expressionlessly. Nan Mu was speechless. Nan Mu had drunk some wine at the dinner party, so his reaction was slower than usual. He then remembered that Lin Shanchu would marry Lu Shiyuan tomorrow. No wonder. Nan Mu was smart enough not to mention Lin Shanchus marriage. Instead, he suggested considerately, Shall I have a drink with you? Huo Xunzhou thought for a moment and nodded. It was gettingte, so Nan Mu found a secluded bar nearby. After the wine was served, Huo Xunzhou drank half a ss in silence. Dont drink alone, cheers! Nan Mu raised his ss and clinked it with Huo Xunzhous. Then, he raised his head and took a sip. Nan Mu put down his ss and was about to say something tofort Huo Xunzhou, but then he heard the drunkard at the table beside him sing heartbreakingly. My girlfriend is married. But I am not the groom. No matter how many tears I shed. No one cares about me. Nan Mu was speechless. F*ck! This song was too suitable for the asion! He turned around and saw that Huo Xunzhou had finished the remaining half of the ss. Huo Xunzhou pushed the empty ss to the bartender and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. The bartender respectfully filled his ss. Xunzhou Nan Mu wanted to persuade Huo Xunzhou, but he was interrupted by the vibration of Huo Xunzhous phone. Huo Xunzhou took a look at it and saw that it was a WeChat message from Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng: [Third Brother, why arent you home yet?] Huo Xunzhou typed slowly: [You went home?] Huo Chaosheng: [Yeah, I just came back from Lin Shanchus house.] Huo Xunzhou: [Oh.] Just as he was about to put his phone away, he saw a red dot on the Discover icon at the bottom. He tapped on the red dot, and Lin Shanchus WeChat profile picture with a red dot appeared in his Moments. Lin Shanchu posted a post on her Moments. Huo Xunzhou clicked on it. It was a photo of a wedding dress without any caption. Huo Xunzhou was stunned and curled his lip subconsciously. He clicked on the photo and looked intently at it for a while. Then, he tapped on the photo to save it. He returned to the Moments interface and liked Lin Shanchus post. What are you so happy about? Nan Mu saw Huo Xunzhou staring at his phone and smiling happily, so he leaned over out of curiosity. Huo Xunzhou quickly pressed the lock button on his phone so that Nan Mu could not see the photo clearly. However, he vaguely saw Lin Shanchus profile picture. Nan Mu took out his phone and clicked open his Moments. He clicked on Lin Shanchus profile picture and refreshed Lin Shanchus Moments several times, but he did not see any interesting posts from her. Shanshan didnt post it on WeChat Moments Nan Mu muttered in puzzlement. He was sure that he had just seen Lin Shanchus profile picture. What? Huo Xunzhou did not hear what he said. He only heard the word Shanshan Were you looking at Shanshans Moments just now? Nan Mu handed the phone to Huo Xunzhou and said, She didnt post anything new! Huo Xunzhou took Nan Mus phone and refreshed it. He realized that there was no photo of the wedding dress on her Moments. Huo Xunzhou thought for two seconds and thenughed to himself. Nan Mu asked, What are youughing at? Huo Xunzhouughed kindly and stuffed the phone back into Nan Mus hands. His voice was unprecedentedly gentle as he said, Its gettingte. Its time to go back and rest. Youre not drinking anymore? Nan Mu pointed at the ss of wine that had just been refilled in front of Huo Xunzhou. Drinking is bad for your health, Huo Xunzhou replied. Puzzled, Nan Mu thought that Huo Xunzhou was drowning his sorrows in wine just now. Nan Mu looked dumbfounded as he pushed Huo Xunzhou out of the bar. Li MO drove over to pick Huo Xunzhou up. Nan Mu watched Huo Xunzhou leave before he snapped back to his senses. Xunzhou must have seen something just now to be so happy all of a sudden. It must be rted to Lin Shanchu. Nan Mu called Qi Cheng. Have you seen Shanshans new post? Huh? Qi Cheng was a little confused, but still he clicked open Lin Shanchus Moments immediately. A new post on her Moments? Shanshan hasnt posted anything on her Moments today. Alright, I got it. Nan Mu hung up the phone. As expected, Qi Cheng could not see the post on Lin Shanchus Moments either. Qi Cheng was used to being cautious. He was very uneasy by Nan Mus inexplicable phone call. Hence, he called He Xiang. Did Shanshan post anything on her Moments today? She didnt. Are you sure? He Xiang thought about it carefully and said, Teacher Alec gave Sister Lin a wedding dress. She tried on it and I took a photo of her. I thought she would post it on her Moments, but she didnt. Understood. Qi Cheng felt like he had understood something. After hanging up the phone, Qi Cheng sent the conversation between him and He Xiang to Nan Mu. Qi Cheng: [[screenshot]] After a long time, Nan Mu replied: [I see.] Qi Cheng: [?] Nan Mu: [ [Wise smile.jpg]] Qi Cheng: President Nan did not look very smart. Qi Cheng finally understood that Tianzhou Media was prosperous because the boss behind the scenes was Huo Xunzhou. The next morning, Lin Shanchu woke up and took a painkiller. It was very easy to get addicted to morphine sustained-release tablets. Even though she had been very restrained, there were faint signs of addiction. However, nothing could go wrong today. She picked up her phone and saw an unread message on her Moments. Huo Xunzhou liked the post she posted on her Momentsst night. He saw it. He was the first person to see her wearing this wedding dress. Sister Lin! Are you awake? Lin Shanchu hid the joy in her heart and said loudly, Im awake. Then pack up ande out quickly. Were going to change our clothes and put on makeup to go to the hotel. Alright. Lu Shiyuan had informed her yesterday to go to the hotel to try the styling and makeup for todays wedding preparation. However, Lin Shanchu would never listen to him. She casually put on some makeup at home, changed into a wedding dress and went straight to the wedding venue at the hotel. There was a knock on the door right after Lin Shanchu finished putting on her makeup and changing into the wedding dress. They are here quite early. He Xiang thought theer was Lu Shiyuan, so she opened the door unwillingly.. Chapter 288 - 288: Whom Are You Going to Marry Today? Chapter 288: Whom Are You Going to Marry Today? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiang opened the door. When she saw the person outside, her eyes instantly widened. Nan Mu put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture. Shh! He Xiang blinked and closed the door after letting the people in. Just like He Xiang, Lin Shanchu thought that Lu Shiyuan had brought people to pick her up. She stood up and turned around with a cold expression. Lets go When she saw the group of people behind her, she was instantly stunned. Wow, Shanshan is so beautiful today. Yun Wu walked forward from behind Huo Xunzhou. After circling around Lin Shanchu, she turned her head and asked Huo Xunzhou, Third brother, dont you think so? Huo Xunzhous burning gazended on Lin Shanchu. He smiled and said gently, Shes very beautiful. Lin Shanchu blinked and awkwardly put her hands behind her back. Then, she smiled and said, Maybe its because the wedding dress looks good. Yeah. Nan Mu nced at Huo Xunzhou and said, The person who sent the wedding dress has a good taste. Yun Wu was a little confused. Who sent the wedding dress? He Xiang said, Its from Teacher Alec. When Yun Wu heard Huo Chaoshengs name, the smile on her face instantly faded. However, she quickly smiled and cast an intentional nce at Huo Xunzhou. He does have good taste. He Xiang felt that something was not quite right, but she could not tell what was wrong. Qi Cheng was a little surprised when he noticed the way Nan Mu and Yun Wu looked at Huo Xunzhou. These two people, Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou.. He had never noticed it. Lin Shanchu cleared her throat and looked serious as she asked, What are you guys doing here so early? Nan Mu raised his eyebrows and replied, Were considered part of your family. Of course, your family has toe over to apany you on your wedding day! To put it nicely, they were here to apany her on the wedding day. To put it bluntly, they were here to stir up trouble. It was obvious that they wanted to embarrass Lu Shiyuan. Bewildered, Lin Shanchu repeated, Your family? Yun Wu walked over and hugged her arm before she said softly, Yes, we are your family and your shield. No matter what you want to do today, just go ahead and do it. Anyway, we will take care of the aftermath for you. yeome wno wan-cea a ugntrope ma not care aoouc tnelr nves. They did not care where their return journey was, nor did they care if they could stay safe. They would only move forward. They would either reach their destination or meet their demise. But one day, someone got their back. It was just like Lin Shanchu at this moment. She had never thought that one day, she would have so many people around her who truly cared about her. She was at a loss for words. I I can do it myself. Lin Shanchus voice was very soft, as if she was trying tofort herself. She had been persuading herself this way all along. She did not believe in fate and would resist it till the end. She would either seed or die. She had never thought that there would be a third option. Nan Mu noticed Lin Shanchus strange behavior and said with a smile, Of course. Youre really amazing. If it werent for you, that brat Lu Shiyuan wouldnt have earned such a notorious reputation. Yeah. Yun Wu hugged Lin Shanchu and agreed with Nan Mu. Nan Mu looked at the time and said, Lets go. Otherwise, Lu Shiyuan willeter. Li MO, the shipper of the pairing, fulfilled his duties at all times. He silently retreated to the side and gave up his seat. Lin Shanchu lifted her dress and walked forward. As soon as she ced her hand on the wheelchair, Huo Xunzhou turned to look at her. He gently caressed her hand as if he wasforting her and his eyes looked gentle.Shanshan, Ill be in your care. Lin Shanchu smiled and pushed him outside. Why isnt Huo Chaosheng here? she asked Huo Xunzhou when they were outside. As an elder brother, how can I let my younger brother with a leg injury wake up so early? Of course, I have to let him have a good rest at home. Huo Xunzhous tone was as serious as could be. Right after Lin Shanchu walked out of the residential area, she heard a familiar voiceing from the opposite side. Lin Shanchu, whom are you going to marry today? Lin Shanchu looked in the direction of the voice. The car window was wide open. Wen Huan sat in the car with a camera on his shoulder as his face was filled with confusion. Lin Shanchu was in a wedding dress, whereas Huo Xunzhou was wearing a suit in a wheelchair. The two of them did notmunicate to each other, but they seemed to be verypatible. They really looked like a couple rushing to get married. Wen Huan, youre here too, Lin Shanchu said excitedly. Ive been here for quite a while. As Wen Huan spoke, he jumped out of the car and walked over. He walked up to Huo Xunzhou and looked at him with a strange expression before he called out, President Huo. Ever since Huo Xunzhou wormed information out of himst time, Wen Huan had been ming himself for not keeping Lin Shanchus secret well. His impression of his idol, Huo Xunzhou, shattered to pieces. He had to admit that he was not as smart as Huo Xunzhou. However, Huo Xunzhou was too sinister! Huo Xunzhou could roughly guess what Wen Huan was thinking. He did not say anything and only smiled at Wen Huan. Wen Huan felt that Huo Xunzhous smile was not simple. Huo Xunzhou wasnt trying to worm more information out of him, was he? Wen Huan walked to Lin Shanchus side with a wary expression, handing her the camera and showing her the photos he had taken. Ive been waiting at the neighborhood entrance since early in the morning. When President Huo and the others came over earlier, I also took photos Lin Shanchu was impressed by Wen Huans dedication to his job. However, the photos taken by Wen Huan indeed looked good. Lin Shanchu took half a step back and smiled brightly. Help us take two more photos. Seeing how happy she was, Wen Huan naturally nodded in agreement. Alright. After he took a few photos of Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou, he looked back and forth between the two of them. In the end, he could not help but ask, Are you two getting married today? Lin Shanchu was speechless. Did she and Huo Xunzhou really look like they were going to get married? Huo Xunzhou curled his lip slightly and said seriously to Wen Huan, When we get married, Ill definitely send you an invitation and invite you to our wedding. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with his statement. Wen Huan nodded. Huh? Then, she is not going marry Lu today We should go now, Huo Xunzhou interrupted him. Lin Shanchu waved at Wen Huan and said, Well be leaving now. Lets talkter. Wen Huan watched them get into the car and then remembered that Huo Xunzhou had also joined the snatch-the-bride squad. Therefore, was there a possibility that the one who wanted to snatch the bride today was not Huo Chaosheng, but Huo Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu sat in the car and quietly turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. The feeling she was feeling right now was very surreal. She felt like she was dreaming. She felt a warm touch on her hand. Lin Shanchu looked down and saw Huo Xunzhou holding her hand. She subconsciously withdrew her hand, but Huo Xunzhou tightened his grip. Have you taken painkillers today? He looked at her and his voice sounded gentle. I did. Lin Shanchu nodded obediently.. Chapter 289 - 289: He Will Be in a Wheelchair Anyway Chapter 289: He Will Be in a Wheelchair Anyway Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After hearing her words, Huo Xunzhou pursed his lip and fell silent for a while. Then, he reached out to stroke her head. It will be fine. He did not know if he wasforting himself or Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu knew that he was worried about her morphine addiction. Lin Shanchuforted him, I didnt take too much painkiller, dont worry. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou was used to concealing his emotions, so Lin Shanchu could not tell if she managed tofort him. The car in front seems to be Lu Shiyuans car. Li Mots voice came from the front with a rare hint of excitement. Lin Shanchu looked out of the window and saw Lu Shiyuans car passing by. Thats right, its his car. She remembered Lu Shiyuans license te number. Lu Shiyuans motorcade stopped at the entrance of the residential area. He brought his men to Lin Shanchus house and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response. Did Lin Shanchu not open the door on purpose, or did she escape from marriage? President Lu! Zhou Yan took his phone and walked forward before he said seriously, Miss Lin has gone to the wedding venue. Lu Shiyuan, who looked furious, instantly calmed down and revealed a smug smile when he heard those words. At least she knows her ce. Miss Lin, she Zhou Yan looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Lu Shiyuan nced at him coldly and said, If youve got something to say, just say it in one go. Huo Xunzhou and the others took Miss Lin to the hotel! This matter is already trending. Zhou Yan braced himself and finished speaking before showing his phone to Lu Shiyuan. #HuoXunzhouLinShanchuCouple #LinShanchuFamilyBridalParty #WhyIsHuoChaoshengAbsent #LinYunPairingBestEver Lu Shiyuan felt the urge to smash his phone after taking a nce at thements. [This is the first time Ive realized that Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou really look like a couple!] [Beautiful female celebrity vs. disabled boss. Sisters, its time to ship them!] [I suddenly feel that ChuSheng pairing is no longer nice!] [Since Alec is absent, he better note. He will be in a wheelchair anyway. Just let Best Actor Huo snatch the bride.] [The lineup of this bridal party is a little luxurious! Amazing!] [But why is Huo Chaosheng absent?] Lu Shiyuans eyes were filled with anger as he looked at thements. He gripped his phone so tightly that his finger joints turned pale. Today was his wedding day with Lin Shanchu. To his surprise, Huo Xunzhou led his people to pick up Lin Shanchu before his very eyes. He even swaggered around and allowed the reporters to secretly take photos of him, overwhelming the trending search list. As for him, the groom, he was like an outsider, not on the trending search list. He would definitely return such a great humiliation to them twice as much! Zhou Yan and the bodyguards by the side were all as quiet as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly. Lu Shiyuan suppressed his anger and said sinisterly, Head back to the hotel! At the hotel entrance. When Lin Shanchu got out of the car, the reporters who had been waiting at the entrance surrounded her. Miss Lin Just as a reporter opened his mouth to ask a question, the car window behind Lin Shanchu slowly rolled down and Huo Xunzhous face appeared. The reporters were stunned. Lin Shanchu nced at the hotel entrance. It was crowded and was full of bodyguards. Lu Shiyuan had probably received the news that Huo Xunzhou had picked her up and brought her to the hotel. Under such circumstances, Lu Shiyuan would never let Huo Xunzhou enter the hotel. Lin Shanchu looked back at him and said, Im going in. You may go back. She wanted Huo Xunzhou to leave first. Although her marriage with Lu Shiyuan was just a formality, she felt that she was cheating on her fianc if Huo Xunzhou watched her go into the hotel. Alright. Huo Xunzhou rolled up the car window. Then, Li MO started the car and drove off. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. She did ask him to leave, but there was no need for him to leave so quickly, right? Shanshan, lets go in. Yun Wu and Nan Mu were in another car. She got out of the car and ran towards Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was not in the mood to deal with the reporters and walked straight into the hotel. The bodyguards came over and stopped the reporters who wanted to squeeze forward. Lin Shanchu took a light nap in the lounge before Lu Shiyuan rushed over. Bang! Lu Shiyuan kicked the lounge door open. The moment Yun Wu saw Lu Shiyuan, she immediately got up and stood in front of Lin Shanchu. President Lu, dont you even know basic etiquette like knocking on the door? Get out of my way. This has nothing to do with you! Lu Shiyuan was filled with hostility and his tone was sulky. With Yun Wus background, it was natural that she would not back down easily after seeing the elephant. But unfortunately, Lu Shiyuan had the male lead aura. His aura could suppress all the supporting characters except for the main characters. Lin Shanchu could feel Yun Wus nervousness. Yun Wu, sit. Lin Shanchu grabbed Yun Wus hand and pulled her back to sit down. Yun Wus hand was a little cold. Lin Shanchu warmed Yun Wus hand by cing her hand in hers. Then, she asked Lu Shiyuan casually, Whats wrong? Why are you so angry? Her tone was gentle as if nothing had happened. The more she acted like this, the angrier Lu Shiyuan became. Lin Shanchu colluded with Huo Xunzhou and the others to humiliate him, but still she pretended that nothing had happened. Lu Shiyuan asked coldly, When they picked you up and headed to the hotel, did you want to leave with them? It was natural he referred they to Huo Xunzhou and the others. He knew better than anyone Lin Shanchu did not want to marry him. As long as there was a chance, Lin Shanchu would definitely run away from the marriage! She was still sitting here because she could not escape. Just now, Lu Shiyuan kicked the door open and came in without closing it. He stood with his back facing the door, so it was natural that he could not see the camera poking in through the door. What nonsense are you talking about? Of course Im going to marry you. We cant break up just like that for the sake of our rtionship for so many years. Lin Shanchu smiled lightly, as gentle as ever. Lets forget all the bad things in the past. After we get married, we will have a good life together. Lin Shanchus gentleness made Lu Shiyuan a little dazed. He seemed to have seen the former Lin Shanchu again, but he quickly came to his senses. Lin Shanchu probably knew that her fate would under his controlpletely after marriage, so she tried to move him with sweet talk. Wouldnt it have been better if you had been like this right from the start? Lu Shiyuan sneered and turned around to leave. He still had long days with Lin Shanchu, so he had plenty of time to deal with her in the future. He did not want any more idents to happen during the wedding. He had to get the bodyguards to keep an eye on the Huo brothers and prevent them from appearing at his wedding. Before Lu Shiyuan turned around and left, the reporters outside who were secretly taking photos had put away their cameras warily. Yun Wu heaved a long sigh of relief after Lu Shiyuans figure disappeared. Shanshan, why do you have to marry Lu Shiyuan? I cant exin it at the moment. Ill exin it to youter when I have time. If she did not seed today, perhaps she would not have time to talk about it in the future. Shortly afterwards, Lu Shiyuan dispatched Zhou Yan to the lounge to call Lin Shanchu. Miss Lin, the wedding is about to begin.. Chapter 290 - 290: Pay the Price for Everything That Happened Today For the Rest of Her Life Chapter 290: Pay the Price for Everything That Happened Today For the Rest of Her Life Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Wu wanted to go with Lin Shanchu. Zhou Yan stopped her. Miss Yun, please go to the banquet hall and take a seat. Go. Lin Shanchu reminded her seriously, The food in this hotel tastes good. Yun Wu said unhappily, Am I that kind of person? How could she still eat at a time like this? However, reality proved that Yun Wu was that kind of person. The moment she went to the entrance hall, she could smell the fragrance of food. Yun Wu, over here! Nan Mu waved at her from afar. Nan Mu, Qi Cheng, and He Xiang sat at the same table. Yun Wu walked closer and saw that Wen Tongtong and Ji Yuan were also present. Yun Wu swallowed as she looked at the food in front of her She could tell it was delicious just by looking at it. Nan Mu reminded her in time, We can only start eating after the wedding ceremony. Yun Wu silent withdrew her hand that was about to reach for the chopsticks. Since Yun Wu was unable to eat the food, she had nothing to do. Then, she turned to Nan Mu and whispered, Where is my Third Brother? Why isnt he here? Lu Shiyuan had arranged for many bodyguards to stop Huo Xunzhou from attending the wedding. If Huo Xunzhou insisted oning over, she believed that those bodyguards would not be able to stop him. Nan Mu replied, I dont know. Then do you know why Shanshan Yun Wu asked. Without waiting for Yun Wu to finish speaking, Nan Mu said frankly, I dont know. Yun Wu asked, Howe you dont know anything? Nan Mu thought about it seriously and said firmly, I know Huo Chaosheng woulde and cause trouble for sure. Yun Wus expression froze. She silently ced her chin on the dining table and did not ask further questions. Why is she here? Who is it? Xia Jinmeng? How dare shee here? Today is Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchus wedding day. If Lin Shanchu sees her, will she let her off the hook? After hearing the discussion, Yun Wu turned around and saw Xia Jinmeng sitting at the next table. Xia Jinmeng dressed up for the wedding today. Her clothes and essories from head to toe were expensive and eye-catching. Obviously, Xia Jinmeng was here to steal Lin Shanchus limelight on purpose. Yun Wu could not understand why Xia Jinmeng would think that she could make up for the difference in appearance and temperament by using so-called luxury items. Xia Jinmeng also noticed Yun Wus gaze. She nced at Yun Wu and deliberately raised her chin to put on a proud look. Yun Wu felt bored and continued to lie on the dining table, staring at the dishes in front of her. Lin Shanchu is here! She seems to being this way? Probably? Xia Jinmeng is done for Although Xia Jinmeng kept her chin up and pretended to be arrogant, she could hear the discussion beside her clearly. She raised her head and looked in the direction of everyones gaze. However, when Xia Jinmeng looked over, the first thing she noticed was Lin Shanchus attractive eyes and the beautiful outlines of her shoulders and neck. Then, she noticed that Lin Shanchu was still wearing that dreamy blue princess haircut. Other than the veil, there was not much decoration on her head. The simple white wedding dress was obviously made by a famous designer at a nce. Her outfit was not as grand as those worn by female celebrities when they walked the red carpet. However, people around her whispered words like so beautiful and so pretty. Lin Shanchu walked straight towards Xia Jinmeng. The guests in discussion earlier fell silent, looking like they were watching a drama unfold. Shanshan is here. Yun Wu tugged at Nan Mu beside her. Nan Mu looked back and asked, Arent brides supposed to walk the red carpet to make their entrance? Why is she here now? Yun Wu snorted. Shanshan will never walk the red carpet with that disgusting man. No wonder Huo Xunzhou did note. If Shanshan really had to walk the red carpet with that disgusting man, Huo Xunzhou might vomit blood in rage on the spot. Even now, she felt angry just by thinking of that scene. That disgusting man was not worthy of walking the red carpet with Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu walked up to Xia Jinmeng and looked down at her. Youre here too. Lin Shanchus tone sounded gentle, but her condescending attitude was unfriendly. Xia Jinmeng felt that she was at a disadvantage by sitting down. Her aura was much weaker than that of Lin Shanchu who was standing. Hence, she stood up and replied, How can I note to President Lus wedding? Xia Jinmeng tried her best to raise her chin, trying to make herself look more arrogant and imposing. Unfortunately, Lin Shanchu was taller than her. Even though Xia Jinmeng tried her best to raise her chin, Lin Shanchu could still look down at her. Lin Shanchus voice was filled with contempt. You are here with what identity? What do you think? Xia Jinmeng replied resentfully. Lin Shanchu initially promised to help her win Lu Shiyuans favor. However, just as her rtionship with Lu Shiyuan had progressed a little, he was going to marry Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu must have been jealous of her and deliberately made Lu Shiyuan anxious to marry her. Lin Shanchu smiled faintly. She casually picked up a wine ss on the table. Then, she sshed all the wine onto Xia Jinmengs gown with a gentle wave of her arm. Ah! Xia Jinmeng screamed, What are you doing? Im sorry. I didnt hold it properly. Lin Shanchu shook the empty ss in her hand and said innocently, Hurry up and get changed beforeing back. You Xia Jinmeng was bereft of speech due to anger. Lin Shanchu ced the wine ss back on the table and looked at the wine stains on Xia Jinmengs gown before she said regretfully, What a pity. It was a pity that such a good gown was ruined just like that. Unfortunately, Xia Jinmeng would have to pay the price for everything that happened today for the rest of her life. Xia Jinmeng felt that Lin Shanchu was extremely despicable. Not only had she had dirtied her gown on purpose, but she even pretended to say that it was a pity. She would not give up just like that. So what if Lu Shiyuan was married? She could still think of a way to snatch Lu Shiyuan away from Lin Shanchu. Xia Jinmeng red at Lin Shanchu coldly before leaving her seat to change her gown. The emcee walked over anxiously. Miss Lin, the wedding is about to begin. Lets begin then. Lin Shanchu turned around and walked towards the stage. The emcee followed closely behind her. But ording to the ceremony, you shoulde in through the door and walk the red carpet with President Lu. The red carpet is too long. My high heels are hurting my feet. Lin Shanchu lifted her dress and ran after she finished speaking. The emcee was bewildered. If she did not want to walk the red carpet, she could just say so. How did this look like her feet were hurting? The emcee was on the verge of tears as he ran behind Lin Shanchu and said, Miss Lin, many guests are watching us. Look Yes, many guests are watching us. We cant let them wait too long. Theres no need for those tedious processes. The most important thing is to start the banquet early. Yun Wu was starved, so Lin Shanchu could not let her wait too long. The emcee wanted to say something, but when he saw Lu Shiyuan walking over from backstage, he quickly called out, President Lu. Lu Shiyuan strode over to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu, what are you trying to do? Chapter 291 - 291: Objection! Chapter 291: Objection! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion You came at the right time! Lin Shanchu turned to look at Lu Shiyuan and said, I just told the emcee that the wedding ceremony should be as simple as possible. We should end it early and start the banquet sooner. You dont have any objections, do you? 1 Just as Lu Shiyuan was about to speak, Lin Shanchu had gone up on stage. Lin Shanchu stood on the stage and looked down at Lu Shiyuan before she said with a smile, Hurry ande up. Lu Shiyuans heart skipped a beat as he looked at her smile. Then, he strode up to the stage. The emcee also followed him in a panic. As the emcee walked, he did not forget to gesture to the staff. The staff understood his signal and informed the backstage staff to start ying music. After the emcee went onstage, he revealed a professional celebratory smile and began to make an opening speech with the microphone. Dear honored guests, hello everyone. Today is September 22nd. On this cool autumn day, a couple is about to Eh? Lin Shanchu snatched the microphone and said, I do. The emcee was puzzled because he thought it was not even time for the wedding vow. After a moment of silence, a burst of restrainedughter rang out. Lu Shiyuans face turned red. However, Lin Shanchu did not seem to notice Lu Shiyuans expression and directly handed the microphone to him. Lu Shiyuan stared intently at her. Say it quickly, Lin Shanchu urged impatiently. Lu Shiyuan was flushed with anger and bulging veins on his forehead. Restraining himself, he said in a normal tone, I do. The emcee was sweating profusely in a panic. He had been an emcee for decades, but he had never encountered such a situation. However, Lin Shanchu turned around and handed the microphone to him. Then, she smiled politely and said, Mr. emcee, may I ask if we are going to exchange rings next? Even Lu Shiyuan could not control his bride, so how could he, an emcee, dare to say anything? The emcee was afraid that something would go wrong again, so he immediately said, Yes, yes, yes Originally, there was a procedure in which the emcee would ask if anyone objected to the marriage between the two of them, but he did not dare to ask the question. The marriage of Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan spread like wildfire in the entire Xu City. Not only did the emcee know about the 922 snatch-the-bride squad online, but he also went in to join in the fun with a dummy ount. However, he had forgotten that even if he did not ask the question, it did not mean that no one objected to their marriage. The emcee immediately gestured for the staff to bring the rings onto the stage. However, the door of the banquet hall was kicked open by a group of people from the outside right after the rings were delivered to them. A loud bang startled everyone at the wedding venue. Objection! The emcee was speechless. He was sure that he had met his Waterloo in his career. Huo Chaosheng dressed to the nines with a tuxedo and a bow tie. Sitting in a scarlet-painted wheelchair, he looked so grand and festive like a groom who arrivedte. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes slightly and tried her best to suppress her curling lips. Huo Chaosheng was really particr. Even if his leg was broken, he still painted the wheelchair red to fill the atmosphere. Lin Shanchu could imagine Lu Shiyuans current expression without even looking up because she had noticed his sudden hostile aura. Even though the guests were trying their best to restrain themselves like Lin Shanchu, they still couldnt help but exim when they saw Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng really came Alec is so gorgeous! Huo Chaosheng is clearly here to cause a scene! I knew that todays wedding wouldnt go so smoothly. Huo Chaosheng brought so many people with him. Are they really going to snatch the bride? Huo Chaosheng was followed by arge group of tall and strong bodyguards wearing suits and sunsses. Therge group of people behind him gave off a sense of oppression. Huo Chaosheng was pushed to the front of the stage by the bodyguards and calmly winked at Lin Shanchu. I object to the marriage between Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan. Hezily leanedzily back in the wheelchair and exuded an arrogant aura with the slightly upturned hair above his forehead. Lin Shanchu ced her hands to her lips and turned her head to stifle augh. But soon, the smile on Lin Shanchus face faded. Someone was looking at her. That gaze seemed to be substantive and it was impossible for her to ignore it. Lin Shanchu turned around and started to look for that gaze below the stage. The staff took the microphone and handed it to Lu Shiyuan. I grew up with Shanshan and we are in love with each other. Who are you to object to our marriage? 1.11 Shivnan stared at Hilo C.haosheng below the stage- If looks could kill. he would have chopped Huo Chaosheng into meat paste. You are in love with each other? Huo Chaoshengs tone was filled with doubt. Is that so? Sister Lin? Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Huo Chaosheng gave her a new nickname. Lin Shanchu smiled and said calmly, Yes, I want to live a good life with Lu Shiyuan. Huo Chaosheng frowned slightly and pretended to be sad. Then, he heaved a long sigh and said, Great! In that case, Ill fulfill your wish! However, Lu Shiyuan, dont you do anything to let Sister Lin down. I will keep an eye on you. Huo Chaosheng pointed at Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan sneered and ignored Huo Chaosheng. Then, he turned around and took the ring box, ready to exchange rings with Lin Shanchu. Who did Huo Chaosheng think he was? How dare Huo Chaosheng threaten him? Huo Chaosheng probably did not have much luck. Lu Shiyuan just opened the ring box, but before he could reach out to take it, Lin Shanchu snatched it from the side. She put the ring on her finger and even raised her ring finger to show Lu Shiyuan. Alright, Im wearing it. Lu Shiyuans face darkened as he lowered his voice and said, Dont go too far. Lin Shanchu raised an eyebrow and stuffed the mans ring into his hand. Put it on yourself. Then, Lin Shanchu turned to look at the guests and said, The wedding ceremony is over. Let the banquet begin. Amidst the uproar, Lin Shanchu continued, Oh right, please arrange seats for my friend Huo Chaosheng and his friends. After finished speaking, Lin Shanchu left the stage and walked straight to Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng adjusted his bow tie and asked Lin Shanchu smugly, Are you satisfied? Youre very charming today, Lin Shanchu praised him with a smile. She really felt that Huo Chaosheng was very charming today. She could understand why his fans were so crazy for him. Huo Chaosheng heard the admiration in her tone and was slightly stunned. Are you alright? Lin Shanchu had always been indifferent to him, but he was not used to her sincere praise all of a sudden. Speechless, Lin Shanchu red at him and said, Im not okay. Im crazy, okay? Huo Chaosheng smiled and his expression looked warmer than usual. She sensed the feeling of being stared again. Lin Shanchu looked around and finally fixed her gaze on the group of bodyguards behind Huo Chaosheng. Where did you find these bodyguards? Lin Shanchu asked thoughtfully. Third Brother helped me arrange them of course. Huo Chaosheng said proudly. All of them are pretty good at fighting, or else I wouldnt have been able to barge in.. Chapter 292 - 292: A Force Was Stopping Them From Finding Lin Shanchu Chapter 292: A Force Was Stopping Them From Finding Lin Shanchu Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion This brotherplex started again Lin Shanchu said cooperatively, Your Third Brother is really nice to you. Huo Chaosheng replied, Of course. All the bodyguards were wearing sunsses and identical suits with the same crew cut. At first nce, they all looked the same, making it impossible to distinguish their appearances. Shanshan, its time to entertain the guests. Lu Shiyuans gloomy voice came from behind. The next moment, her arm was grabbed. Ill be leaving now. The smile on Lin Shanchus face faded. Before she left with Lu Shiyuan, she turned around and nced at Huo Chaoshengs bodyguards. She saw a bodyguard standing at the rear reach out and pull down his sunsses, revealing a pair of gorgeous and charming eyes. Lin Shanchu blinked in shock. Shortly afterwards, she tilted her head slightly and curled her lip. Those charming eyes curved slightly before he put on his sunsses again. Huo Xunzhou was really good at having fun. He even got a crew cut in order to blend into Huo Chaoshengs bodyguards. However, he was good-looking. Huo Chaosheng was arranged to sit at Nan Mus table. The rest of the bodyguards had other seats arranged for them. Coincidentally, Huo Chaosheng was sitting beside Yun Wu. Long time no see, Teacher Yun Wu. Yun Wu felt that the rice in her mouth no longer tasted good. She lowered her head and said gloomily, Long time no see. Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan happened to toast to the guests at this table. Nan Mu raised his wine ss hypocritically and said, Congrattions, President Lu. Congrattions, Shanshan. Congrattions. Yun Wu raised her wine cup before she raised her head and downed the wine. Lin Shanchu noticed that Yun Wu did not look well. Before she left, she shot Huo Chaosheng a warning look. Huo Chaosheng raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction. Women were really heartless. He hade to help her cause a scene seriously, but she warned him for another woman. Even though Huo Chaosheng was not convinced, he turned to look at Yun Wu. Teacher Yun Wii. Hmm? Yun Wu turned to look at him. Huo Chaosheng looked at her seriously and said, Youre Lin Shanchus friend, and Im Lin Shanchus friend, so were all friends, right? Yun Wu fell silent for a moment, then she said suspiciously, Why did Shanshan be friends with you? Huo Chaosheng replied, Of course its because I have a charming personality! Oh. It was the charm of a perverted personality. She wondered what Shanshan was thinking. Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan walked around the banquet hall. Shortly afterwards, she saw Xia Jinmeng again. Xia Jinmeng had changed into another gown and was sitting in an inconspicuous corner. Lin Shanchu pointed at Xia Jinmeng who was sitting in the corner and asked Lu Shiyuan, Arent you going to have a drink with her? Lu Shiyuan had also heard about Lin Shanchu sshing wine on Xia Jinmeng. He knew that Lin Shanchu wanted to bully Xia Jinmeng in public again. No need. Theres no need to waste time on irrelevant people. How could she be irrelevant? Im friends with Xia Jinmeng. Lin Shanchu shook off Lu Shiyuans hand and walked towards Xia Jinmeng. Xia Jinmeng,e. Lu Shiyuan said he wanted to have a drink with you. Xia Jinmengs gaze fell on Lu Shiyuan, who was behind Lin Shanchu. Then, she called out in a trembling voice, President Lu. It looked like she was quite pitiful. Lu Shiyuan frowned slightly and said, Change it to juice. Drinking will dy work. Lin Shanchu looked surprised as she said, You always care about yourpanys artists? I cant believe I didnt know that. I dont have work today, so theres no need to worry about dyed work. Xia Jinmeng raised her ss sensibly and said with a smile, President Lu, congrattions on your wedding. Lu Shiyuan took a deep look at Xia Jinmeng and downed the wine in his ss. Wow. Lin Shanchu eximed exaggeratedly, You guys are really good drinkers. Lu Shiyuan handed the wine ss to the waiter behind him and looked at Lin Shanchu with a sullen face. Youre tired. You should go back to your room to rest. Lin Shanchu shook her head as she replied, Im not tired. Lu Shiyuan did not listen to her at all. After he waved his hand slightly, the maids walked over. The maids helped Lin Shanchu up and left arm in arm. When Yun Wu saw Lin Shanchu being forcefully taken away by the maids, she wanted to get up and follow them. Huo Chaosheng next to her suddenly said, Wait! You Yun Wu frowned slightly. Huo Chaosheng interrupted her, I want to go too. What he meant was for Yun Wu to push him along. Although Yun Wu was still a little afraid of Huo Chaosheng, she could feel that he did not have any ill intentions towards Lin Shanchu. Hence, she pushed him and left together. When the two of them arrived at the exit of the banquet hall, the waiter who was walking towards them suddenly fell. The wine bottle in his hand shattered, causing the wine and broken ss fragments to be sshed on the two of them. Ill go. Nan Mu followed them at some point. Right after Nan Mu took two steps, the wallmp suddenly fell andnded right on his head. Hiss Nan Mu hissed in pain. Then, he reached out and felt a handful of blood on his head. The three of them looked at each other in dismay. After a while, Nan Mu slowly said, It seems a little ominous. President Nan, are you alright? Ji Yuan also walked over. Nan Mu showed the blood on his hand to Ji Yuan and asked, Do I look fine? Ji Yuan said, Ill take you to the doctor. Go and bandage your wound first. Yun Wu looked at Nan Mu and carefully observed her surroundings. She lifted her foot to walk outside after making sure that themps on the wall were stable without falling down suddenly and that there was no waiter holding a bottle of wine across the room. Just as she took two steps, two women who engaged in a fight suddenly rushed out from behind and collided hard with Yun Wu. Yun Wu instantly felt dizzy after the back of her head hit the wall. Nan Mu caught her quickly. Yun Wu calmed down for a while before muttering, Its really ominous She felt as if there was a force stopping them from finding Lin Shanchu. Huo Chaosheng sneered, I dont believe in such things. He was about to go over in his electric wheelchair. In the next second, his injured leg started to hurt immensely without any warning. Lu Shiyuan booked the entire hotel. He had reserved thergest presidential suite for himself and arranged the rest of the rooms for the guests. After the maids took Lin Shanchu to the presidential suite, they closed the door and left. Lin Shanchu turned around and tried to open the door. She turned the doorknob with all her might, but it did not budge at all. It was locked from the outside. She expected it. Lin Shanchu calmly turned around and walked into the room. The room had been specially decorated by the hotel staff. There was a lot of red wine and flowers, creating a sweet atmosphere. Lin Shanchu stepped on the floor covered with rose petals and walked to the table. Then, she picked up a bottle of red wine on the wine rack. After that, she opened the bottle and poured the wine into two sses. She ced a wine ss in front of her. Then, she took out the drug Huo Chaosheng had given her and poured it into the other wine ss. Just as Huo Chaosheng said, the powder melted in water instantly.. Chapter 293 - 293: Slowly Wrapped the Ribbons Upwards from the Ankles Chapter 293: Slowly Wrapped the Ribbons Upwards from the Ankles Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu ced the ss of wine containing medicinal powder on the opposite side. Shortly afterwards, there was a knock on the door. Lin Shanchu stood up and walked up to the door. Whos there? Madam, Mr. Lu was worried that you would be bored, so he asked Miss Xia toe over and chat with you. Xia Jinmeng arrived faster than she had expected. Tell her to get lost. Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. But the next moment, someone opened the door from the outside. Xia Jinmeng swaggered into the room. After closing the door behind her, she looked at Lin Shanchu provocatively and said, You want me to get lost? Im afraid it wont happen as you wish. Lin Shanchu revealed an expression of disbelief as she asked, Why did they let you in? Money makes the world go round. Dont you know that? Xia Jinmeng looked at her mockingly. Oh Lin Shanchu replied softly, but her tone did not show much anger. It seemed that Xia Jinmeng had learned a lot of dirty tricks from Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu asked softly, Other than bribing the maids, who else did you bribe? You will know soon enough. Xia Jinmengughed. Hatred welled up in her eyes, making her look a little ferocious. What a pity. Lin Shanchu sighed. What do you mean? Xia Jinmeng frowned. Then, she recalled Lin Shanchu saying what a pity after sshing wine on her. Lin Shanchu had always been a mysterious woman who did not y by the rules. Even though Xia Jinmeng thought that she was well-prepared, she was still inexplicably worried. Lin Shanchu curled her lip, her eyes were dark, and her soft voice was strangely gentle. Come closer. Lin snau stooa mere witn aroopmg nanasac sanK Inco me Short or ner wedding dress. She had a smile on her face, looking clean and weak. Xia Jinmeng sized up Lin Shanchu for a moment. After confirming that she could not y any tricks, she slowly walked forward and approached Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu looked down at her and her voice was filled with excitement. Congrattions, Xia Jinmeng. Wha Xia Jinmeng felt as if something heavy had hit her on the head. Her vision turned dark before she fell limply to the ground and was unable to make a sound. Thest scene before she lost consciousness was Lin Shanchu holding a broken vase high in the air, looking at her with a strange smile. The scene of Lin Shanchu saying what a pity appeared in her mind again. She vaguely understood something. However, it was already toote for her to sort out her thoughts. Lin Shanchu threw away the broken vase after she saw Xia Jinmengpletely unconscious. Lin Shanchu walked up to the door and locked it from the inside. Then, she turned back and took out the phone from Xia Jinmeng. Lin Shanchu skillfully grabbed Xia Jinmengs index finger to unlock the phone and began to check her text messages. Thetest text message in Xia Jinmengs phone was sent to an unknown number: [Act on mymand.] The other party replied: [Understood.] Lin Shanchu immediately typed a reply to the other party: [The n is canceled.] The other party quickly replied: [You b*tch, f*ck you!] Back then, you said I could y with Lin Shanchu as I pleased. Thats why I asked for such a low price. Now you want to cancel it? No way! F*ck you!] Tch. It turned out that Xia Jinmeng had not only bribed the maids, but she also bribed this nasty man. In order to take revenge on her, Xia Jinmeng had put in a lot of effort. However, she was not angry. She wanted to thank Xia Jinmeng for taking the initiative to show up at the doorstep. Therefore, in order to express her gratitude to Xia Jinmeng, she wanted to fulfill Xia Jinmengs wish. Lin Shanchu replied to the other party with one word: [Idiot!] Then, she blocked the number and turned off the phone. The hotel staff had decorated the room with many ribbons. The color was beautiful, the quality was good, and they looked very sturdy. Lin Shanchu removed a bunch of ribbons and hummed a song as she slowly began to tie Xia Jinmengs hands and feet. She tied Xia Jinmengs hands and feet together. Lin Shanchu slowly wrapped the ribbons upwards from the ankles until the calves were firmly tied together. Only then did she tie a dead knot in satisfaction. Then, she used the same method to lift Xia Jinmengs hands above her head and slowly wrapped the ribbons around them. Finally, Lin Shanchu wrapped Xia Jinmeng in a thin nket and slowly dragged her into the bedroom. Xia Jinmeng had been a trainee overseas for many years with a foundation in dancing. She looked thin, but her muscles were firm and she was heavier than Lin Shanchu had imagined. It took her a lot of effort to move Xia Jinmeng onto the bed. After Lin Shanchu covered Xia Jinmeng, she turned around and prepared to leave. When she reached the door, she thought of something and slowly turned around to go to the bathroom. Lin Shanchu looked around and took out the hand towel from the sink. She walked back to the bed and was about to stuff the towel into Xia Jinmengs mouth, but Xia Jinmeng suddenly opened her eyes. You are awake so quickly. Lin Shanchu smiled. When Xia Jinmeng realized that she could not move her hands and feet, she panicked and asked, What are you doing? Shh! Lin Shanchu gestured for her to keep quiet and coaxed her, Keep quiet. Lu Shiyuan wille to apany you in a while. Are you really crazy? Xia Jinmeng suspected that Lin Shanchu was really crazy. Lin Shanchus expression darkened. She reached out to grab Xia Jinmengs chin before stuffing the towel into her mouth. The world fell silent. Lin Shanchu was in a better mood. I told you not to make any noise. Mm, mm, mm Xia Jinmeng was still struggling. Lin Shanchu pulled the nket over Xia Jinmengs head, covering herpletely. The world waspletely silent. Lin Shanchu returned to the living room and stared at the broken vase on the floor for a moment before turning around and smashing everything in the room. It was too suspicious to have only a smashed vase. It would be better if she smashed everything. Lin Shanchu sat down at the table and took out her phone to send Huo Xunzhou a message. Lin Shanchu: [I saw you just now.] Right after she sent the message, there was a knock on the door. Lin Shanchus eyes brightened Huo Xunzhou couldnt be so omniscient, could he? She trotted to the door and opened it with a hopeful look on her face. However, her face darkened once she saw Lu Shiyuan outside. What are you doing inside? Lu Shiyuan looked at her with a sullen face. Lin Shanchu pushed the door open and stood aside so that Lu Shiyuan could see the scene in the room for himself. Lu Shiyuan looked up and saw a mess on the ground. His expression darkened a little, but he soon smiled again. These are just some worthless things. Smash however you want. Although there were some idents at the wedding, it ended smoothly. Now that what was done was done, it would be difficult for Lin Shanchu to stir up any trouble in the future. It was natural that Lin Shanchu was upset, so she could only throw a tantrum by smashing some things. After Lu Shiyuan finished speaking, he turned around and left. Lin Shanchu stared at his back for a moment and said firmly, You are looking for Xia Jinmeng, arent you? Lu Shiyuan still had entertain many guests out there, but he suddenly came over and left after a brief while. He must have realized that Xia Jinmeng was naincr Chapter 294 - 294: Please Stop Violating the Rules Immediately! Chapter 294: Please Stop Viting the Rules Immediately! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After all, Lin Shanchu had been causing Xia Jinmeng trouble at the wedding. Xia Jinmeng had disappeared, so it was natural that Lu Shiyuan would look for her immediately. It was probably part of Xia Jinmengs n. Xia Jinmeng bribed the maids and hired a nasty man to deal with her. Naturally, she wanted Lu Shiyuan to find her and see Lin Shanchu rolling on the bed with that nasty man. That was why viins in movies and television works often died after talking too much. If Xia Jinmeng had spoken less nonsense, Lin Shanchus n would not have gone so smoothly. No, was Xia Jinmeng considered a viin? Lin Shanchu thought for a moment. She had kidnapped people and drugged them. Inparison, she was more like a viin than Xia Jinmeng. What did you do to her? Lu Shiyuan abruptly turned his head around and approached Lin Shanchu nervously. Come in and have a drink with me, and Ill tell you. Without waiting for Lu Shiyuans reply, Lin Shanchu turned around and entered the room. Lin Shanchu nimbly avoided the mess on the ground and walked to the table, handing Lu Shiyuan a ss of wine that had been poured in advance. Lu Shiyuan took the wine ss and stared at Lin Shanchu warily. Lin Shanchu picked up the ss of wine in front of her and was about to drink it, but after seeing Lu Shiyuans gaze, she paused and asked, Why arent you drinking? Are you afraid that Ill kill you with poison? She had drugged Lu Shiyuan once. She bought some aphrodisiac and put it in the wine. The wine had been poured, but she failed to make Lu Shiyuan drink it. Lu Shiyuan snorted coldly and snatched the wine ss in Lin Shanchus hand. Then, he stuffed his own ss into her hand and said slowly, Yeah. You Lin Shanchus eyes widened. Her face showed no sign of panic at all, only disappointment and sorrow. I really want to live a good life with you, but I didnt expect that there would be no trust between us. Lin Shanchus eyes were red-rimmed as she downed the wine in her ss. Are you satisfied? She turned the ss over and showed it to Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan was dumbfounded. Then, he frowned and looked conflicted with trace of self-reproach. If you dont want to drink, then dont drink it. Lin Shanchu reached out to snatch the wine ss from his hand. However, Lu Shiyuan downed the wine before she could snatch the ss. Lin Shanchu turned her face away, no longer looking at him. Lu Shiyuan put down the wine ss and hesitated for a moment before asking her, Where is Xia Jinmeng? Follow me. Lin Shanchu still did not look at him and had a sorrowful expression on her face. After finished speaking, she walked forward. After taking two steps, Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks. [Beep!] A familiar and piercing rm rang in her mind. [Illegal operation by the host has been detected. Please correct it before causing a major ident. Otherwise, the host will be severely punished.] The system that she had blocked for a long time reappeared because she had drugged Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu ignored the systems warning and continued walking forward with a determined look in her eyes. [Host, please correct it immediately.] When the systems voice sounded again, Lin Shanchu felt a familiar pain. She had taken painkillers before she went out in the morning. It had only been a few hours. The effect of the painkillers could not have worn off so quickly. The punishment mentioned by the system had begun. [If the host continues to be stubborn, there will be a risk of being erased after the punishment is upgraded.] Then you can erase me. Lin Shanchu replied to the system in her mind nonchntly and pushed open the bedroom door. Shes on the bed. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan frowned slightly. What have you done to her? Wont you know when you go and take a look? Lin Shanchu stood by the door as she curled her lip slowly. After casting a deep nce at her, Lu Shiyuan walked into the room. The smile on Lin Shanchus face instantly disappeared. One minute should be up. When Lu Shiyuan walked to the bed, he felt that something was wrong with his body. However, he did not think too much about it. He thought that he felt dizzy and hot after drinking too much. Lu Shiyuan slowly lifted the nket and saw Xia Jinmeng who was tied up like a dumpling. Lu Mmph Xia Jinmeng! Lu Shiyuan turned around and looked at Lin Shanchu with a malicious gaze. He then turned around and pulled out the towel from Xia Jinmengs mouth and started to untie the ribbons on her body. Lin Shanchu knocked me out and tied me up. Boo-hoo Xia Jinmeng did not forget to act pitiful at this moment. Lu Shiyuan felt that he was getting dizzier and his body was burning up. Xia Jinmeng in front of him smelled nice for some reason, so he could not help but want to get closer to her, just a little closer President Lu Xia Jinmeng was a little confused as she looked at Lu Shiyuans face that was inches away from her. Lu Shiyuan had been good to her during this period of time, but other than kissing her when he was drunk on that day, he had been deliberately keeping a distance from her. Lu Shiyuan regained a bit of rationality due to Xia Jinmengs voice. With thest bit of rationality left, Lu Shiyuan suddenly understood Lin Shanchus purpose. Get out! Get out immediately! Leave this ce! Lu Shiyuan roared. When Xia Jinmeng saw Lu Shiyuans flushed face and confused eyes, she vaguely understood that he had been drugged. Xia Jinmeng was shocked and scared as she said, But President Lu, I cant move now Lu Shiyuan had been untying the ribbons on her body for a long time, but he still could not untie them. Lu Shiyuan fell onto the bed in a daze. Lin Shanchu wanted to close the door and leave. However, a sudden pain assaulted her entire body. She slowly loosened her grip on the door and slid to the ground weakly. She broke out in a cold sweat and the sweat slowly seeped out from her forehead. The systems warning sounded again, [Host, please stop viting the rules immediately. Otherwise, the punishment will be increased again.] Lin Shanchu forced a smile with all her might and said, So, I made the right bet. As long as he sleeps with another woman, he will lose his male lead aura, right? [Beep!] [Host, please stop your illegal behavior immediately! Host, please stop viting the rules immediately!] The system repeated the sentences over and over. Lin Shanchu was in so much pain that she did not even have the strength to get up. Whether its increasing the punishment or erasing me, do whatever you want Lin Shanchuy on the ground and smiled. This is the path I chose for myself. No matter what the oue is, I will ept it. At least Ive fought hard for myself. I can finally be free Before Lin Shanchu could finish her words, her expression suddenly changed. It was because she saw Lu Shiyuan stumbling towards her. Lin Shanchus pupils suddenly dted. She tried hard to get up from the ground until her knuckles turned white. [Host, if you agree to stop viting the rules now, you still have a chance to avoid what will happen next.] The systems voice calmed down, as if it was certain that Lin Shanchu would change her mind. Lu Shiyuan had been drugged by her, whereas she was now unable to resist the episode of cancer pain. Lin Shanchu knew what would happen next.. Chapter 295: It Is Useless Even If You Cover My Ears Because I Can Still Hear Them Chapter 295: It Is Useless Even If You Cover My Ears Because I Can Still Hear Them Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu bit her lip hard as she looked at Lu Shiyuan who was getting closer to her. The smell of blood sobered her a little. Then, she used all her strength to crawl out little by little. Although she had never done anything good in her life, she had never hurt an innocent person. Why should she suffer such an oue? Why did she have to be at the mercy of everything? Even if it was the result, so what? Lin Shanchus tone was unprecedentedly firm as she shouted, I dont agree! If she sumbed to the system now, all the things she had done in the past would be in vain. It was a piece of cake to destroy a persons body. The body may be destroyed, but not their will. One would truly be destroyed after their will was destroyed. So what if she could not escape today? As long as she was alive, be it Lu Shiyuan or the system, they would not be able to make her bow her head and yield to their maniption. As soon as she finished speaking, a sound of machine parts shaking off rang in her mind. It was as if something disintegrated in her mind, followed by a long, ear-piercing mechanical voice. Beep! It was followed by a loud bang. Lin Shanchu looked in the direction of the sound and realized that the door opposite had been kicked open from the inside. The presidential suite was furnished to a high standard. Other than the necessary study and a few bedrooms, there were also rooms such as an entertainment hall. She vaguely remembered that the study was opposite the bedroom. A tall figure rushed out of the study and ran towards her. Shanshan! The figure was familiar. The voice sounded familiar. Even the aura of his embrace was exceptionally familiar. Lin Shanchu stared at the person in front of her for a while before calling his name. Huo Xunzhou? Its me. Huo Xunzhou raised his foot and kicked Lu Shiyuan, who had stumbled to the bedroom door, and swiftly closed the door. Then, he bent down and picked Lin Shanchu up from the ground. Lin Shanchu tugged at his shirt and still tensed up. Youve been inside? Yes. Why do you show up now? Lin Shanchus voice was soft and weak. There was no usation but only slight doubt in her tone. Huo Xunzhou paused and hugged her tighter before he said, I couldnt get out. He sneaked into the presidential suite ahead of time. After entering the presidential suite, he checked all the rooms and confirmed that the study had the best view, so he stayed there. He had confirmed that the door was locked. However, after Lu Shiyuan came in, the study door seemed to be sealed and could not be opened no matter what. Huo Xunzhous chest trembled slightly as he spoke. Lin Shanchu raised her head slightly to his chest and listened to his heartbeat for a while. Then, she looked up at him excitedly. But you managed toe out. Youre really amazing. When she looked at him, her eyes were sparkling, as if there were little stars in them. Huo Xunzhous Adams apple bobbed as he had an inappropriate thought. He averted his gaze and stopped looking at her. From Lin Shanchus angle, she could only see the side of his face. Her gaze fell on his pursed lips. Lin Shanchu wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. Huo Xunzhou turned around to look at her. His eyes darkened, whereas Lin Shanchu shyly buried her head in his embrace. Huo Xunzhou. After a while, she called his name again in a muffled voice. Huh? Huo Xunzhou slowed down his pace. Huo Xunzhou stopped in his tracks and looked down at her in confusion. Lin Shanchu ced her hand on his. Your hands are shaking. Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes slightly, his lip twitched and his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, as if he was self-deprecating. Because Im afraid. He was afraid that he would not be able to open the door to the study. He was afraid that something would happen to her. He was afraid that she would lose her will to live. In those long and torturous few minutes, he thought about all the worst-case scenarios. For the first time, he deeply felt that there was limit to human strength and something was beyond his power. It was said that one would not believe in God without knowing the sufferings. At that moment, he, a non-believer, sincerely hoped that a miracle woulde. Huo Xunzhou calmly and sincerely opened his heart to her. Lin Shanchus heart skipped a beat as she said, Put me down. Are you feeling better? Huo Xunzhou asked her. She still looked very ufortable just now. Yes. Lin Shanchu nodded. When Huo Xunzhou saw that herplexion had indeed improved a little, he let go of her and put her on the ground. Right after Lin Shanchu stepped on the ground, she heard Xia Jinmengs screaming from the bedroom. Ah! They were standing at door to the living room, but they managed to hear the sound from the bedroom. Lin Shanchu blinked and pointed in the direction of the bedroom. The battle seems to be a little intense. I want to She wanted to go there to take a look. Huo Xunzhou, who seemed to know what she was going to say next, interrupted her with a tense face. You dont want to! Ill go and confirm it. Ill just take a look Lin Shanchu eagerly raised a finger. Huo Xunzhou held her finger and pressed it down. Ill take a look on your behalf. You cant watch alone. Lin Shanchu blinked as she said, Lets watch together. You Huo Xunzhou put his hands on his hips and stared at her for a long time, but he did not know what to say. Lets go. Lets watch together. Lin Shanchu pulled him towards the bedroom door. Huo Xunzhou looked helpless as she dragged him away. Lin Shanchu turned to look at him and asked, Do you know how I feel right now? Huo Xunzhou replied, How do you feel? Lin Shanchu said, I feel like Im forcing a good girl into prostitution. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. During their conversation, the two of them reached the door to the bedroom. Themotion inside was so loud that the soundproof door could not block the ambiguous sound Lin Shanchu reached out to open the door, but Huo Xunzhou pped her hand away. He grimaced as he reached out to cover her ears. Since we are here Lin Shanchu stared at the doorknob with a reluctant expression and reached out for it. Huo Xunzhou looked at her expressionlessly. For the first time, Lin Shanchu felt that his appearance was quite intimidating. She reluctantly retracted her hand. It is useless even if you cover my ears because I can still hear them. Huo Xunzhous face darkened. On the other hand, Lin Shanchu felt the hands covering her ear freeze. Lin Shanchu suggested, Why dont we call someone else to take a look? Huo Xunzhous expression softened as he pulled Lin Shanchus arm and walked out. He walked at breakneck speed, as if he wanted to get rid of the sound behind him. While walking, Lin Shanchu said, The reporters are still in the banquet hall. We can go there and call everyone over, but we cant call them over ourselves Huo Xunzhou was not in a wheelchair, whereas she was the bride. Their identities were not suitable. When they reached the door, Huo Xunzhou said softly, Call Wen Huan over.. Chapter 296 - 296: You Gave Me The Wedding Dress, So Take Your Time to Undo the Ties! Chapter 296 - 296: You Gave Me The Wedding Dress, So Take Your Time to Undo the Ties! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He he has never been in a rtionship before. It is not appropriate, right? Lin Shanchu was very protective of her friend, Wen Huan, who picked up trash with her. She was afraid that the incident would cause a psychological trauma to Wen Huan. You know him so well. Huo Xunzhou opened the door and casually spoke in a sarcastic tone. She instantly felt a familiar sense of oppression. Lin Shanchu forced auqh and exined, I dont reallv know him well Huo Xunzhou smiled expressionlessly and took Lin Shanchu to the presidential suite next door. Then, he opened the door and took her in. Lin Shanchu looked at him in surprise and asked, How did you get this room card? Lu Shiyuan had put in a lot of effort this time. He had vacated the hotel a few days in advance and personally supervised everything. An oversight like losing a room card was imposssible to happen. Huo Xunzhou stroked her head like he was petting a kitten. Have you forgotten what I used to do? After thinking for a moment, Lin Shanchu said, Repairputers. When Huo Xunzhou first debuted, he said in an interview that repairingputers was more profitable than filming. Huo Xunzhou said, Thats the official statement. Lin Shanchu recalled how Huo Xunzhou had hacked Qiao Jiaxis Weibo ount and uploaded the video. Lin Shanchus eyes widened. A hacker? Huo Xunzhou chuckled as he declined toment. If he did not deny the statement, it meant that he acquiesced to it. I was wondering how an ordinaryputer repair worker could earn more than filming. She had been puzzled about it, but Huo Xunzhou looked so upright. Therefore, she never thought that he was a former hacker. After all, hackers were a profession in a gray area. Huo Xunzhou took out his phone and sent Wen Huan a WeChat message. Huo Xunzhou: [Room No. 9627, Lu Shiyuan, Xia Jinmeng.] Wen Huan: [Iming!] Ille right now!] Huo Xunzhou thought for a moment and reminded Wen Huan: [Dont be the first person to go in.] Wen Huan: [Thats impossible. The first-hand news can only be mine!] Lin Shanchu was still thinking about the room card as she asked, So, you hacked their room card system and made a universal room card? Huo Xunzhou denied indifferently, That wasnt me. After ncing at Wen Huans reply, Huo Xunzhou calmly handed the phone to Lin Shanchu so that she could read Wen Huans messages. Lin Shanchu leaned over and took a look, but then she did not know what to say for a moment. After a long time, she finally said, Its all fate. Huo Xunzhou chuckled and pushed a gift box beside him to Lin Shanchu. Change your clothes. After the reporters went to Room No. 9627 and took photos of Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng, Lin Shanchu, as the bride, would have to appear as a matter of course. Lin Shanchu was still wearing her wedding dress and high heels. Her attire would get in the way, making it inconvenient for her to move around in the crowdter. Lin Shanchus eyes widened slightly. She was stunned for a moment before she said, Thank you. Huo Xunzhou was so attentive. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and said, Go ahead. Lin Shanchu entered the bedroom and quickly poked her head out from the door to call him. Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou looked up at her. Come here. Lin Shanchu gestured for him toe over. Whats wrong? Huo Xunzhou got up and walked over. Lin Shanchu turned around, revealing the densely packedces at the back of her wedding dress. I cant untie them myself. Help me. Huo Xunzhou gaze lingered on the back of her fair neck for a moment before he hurriedly looked at theces. No matter how considerate Huo Xunzhou was, he was still a man. He had never done such a thing before. Theces were wrapped around the back tightly. He could not figure it out how to untie them for a long time, and the fair and beautiful lines of her shoulders and neck disturbed his mind even more. After a long time, Huo Xunzhou gritted his teeth and said, Ill cut them off. No! Lin Shanchu immediately covered theces on her back and turned to re at him. Huo Xunzhou had a rare exasperated look on his face, but when he spoke to her, his tone became gentle and patient. I cant untie them. You gave me the wedding dress, so take your time to undo the ties! Lin Shanchu turned around again after finished speaking. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. By the time Huo Xunzhou finished undoing the ties on Lin Shanchus wedding dress, a ruckus was heard outside. Theyre here? Lin Shanchu hugged the wedding dress and listened to the movements outside. She looked alert like a cunning cat. Huo Xunzhou reached out to loosen his tie before leaning closer to her. Shanshan, Ive done you a great favor. Shouldnt you thank me? His maic voice sounded slightly hoarse and was intoxicating to the ears. It was one thing to have a nice voice. However, removing theces was a small matter. How could it be considered a great favor? Didnt you just untie the Mmph Lin Shanchu turned around, but before she could finish her words, Huo Xunzhou kissed her on the lips and took her breath away. Lin Shanchus eyes widened in shock. She moved her lips and wanted to say something, but she gave Huo Xunzhou the chance to kiss her deeply. He wrapped one arm around her waist and reached behind her with the other. Then, he held her head with a deeper kiss. His kiss was forceful and urgent, and his irresistible aura made Lin Shanchu subconsciously retreat. Huo Xunzhou pressed forward and forced her into a corner. Lin Shanchu had nowhere to retreat, so she could only raise her head and ept his endless kisses. It was until Lin Shanchus phone rang. My phone Lin Shanchu tried to push him away. However, Huo Xunzhou ignored the ringtone and lowered his head to kiss her again. The unanswered phone kept ringing until the ringtone ended automatically, but soon, it rang again. The man, who had not kissed enough, was a little frustrated. Huo Xunzhou frowned and bit Lin Shanchus lip lightly. Then, he said softly, Whos calling you? Lin Shanchu touched the corner of her lip that he had bitten and hissed softly, Its Yun Wu. Yun Wus call spoiled the mood, but why did he bite her? Lin Shanchu felt a little unconvinced as she thought about it. Then, she stood on her tiptoes and raised her head to bite his lip. She bit harder than Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou frowned in pain and leaned over, trying to teach her a lesson. Lin Shanchu quickly picked up Yun Wus call. Yun Wu? Shanshan, where are you? Something happened to Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng. All the reporters are gathered here Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other before she said, Ill be right there. After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu saw Huo Xunzhou rubbing the corner of his lip that she had bitten with his fingertip. Then, he looked at her with a deep gaze. Shanshan, you are so fierce. His raised tone carried a hint of provocation. Lin Shanchu did not go overboard, but her face felt hot. Im going out. Yun Wu is waiting for me outside. Lin Shanchu turned around like a headless chicken and was about to run outside. Huo Xunzhou did not make way for her, so she bumped into his chest. Huo Xunzhou quickly reached out to lift her wedding dress up and looked away. His ears were unusually red. He cleared his throat lightly and said softly, You havent changed your clothes yet. Lin Shanchu looked down at her wedding dress and quickly grabbed her cor.. After that, she angrily pushed Huo Xunzhou out and shouted, Get out! Chapter 297 - 297: From Now On, I Shall Sever Ties with You, Lu Shiyuan! Chapter 297: From Now On, I Shall Sever Ties with You, Lu Shiyuan! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou obediently followed Lin Shanchus rejection and retreated. When he left, he even considerately closed the door for her. Shortly afterwards, Lin Shanchu got changed and came out with the wedding dress. Huo Xunzhou was sitting on the sofa and checking WeChat messages. Nan Mu, Yun Wu and the others had sent him many WeChat messages. When he heard themotion, he raised his head and saw Lin Shanchu rushing out with the wedding dress. Help me keep it. Lin Shanchu immediately stuffed the wedding dress into his arms. The puffy wedding dress somewhat blocked Huo Xunzhous vision. He reached out and pressed it down to make his vision clear again. You still want to keep it? He asked Lin Shanchu in surprise. Lin Shanchu was almost at the door. When she heard him, she turned around and threatened him fiercely, If you dare to cut it off, youre dead meat! Huo Xunzhou smiled and replied, .. I dont dare to do so. Lin Shanchu was getting fiercer and fiercer. Lin Shanchu opened the door slightly. Looking through the crack of the door, she saw many people were standing outside. There were bodyguards, hotel staff, reporters carrying cameras and guests who were watching the drama unfold What exactly happened? I heard that the groom is having an affair with another woman Really? Where did the bride go? The not-so-spacious corridor was crowded with noisy people in great confusion. The hotel security guards tried their best to maintain order. Lin Shanchu saw Yun Wu and Nan Mu as the figures shed past her. However, Yun Wu and Nan Mu had bandages wrapped around their heads. How did these two people get injured? At this moment, the bodyguards pushed Huo Chaosheng over. Huo Chaosheng looked a little unwell, but he seemed very excited. Lin Shanchu suddenly remembered that Huo Xunzhou had snuck into the hotel by blending into Huo Chaoshengs bodyguards. How are you going to get outter? She turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was tidying her wedding dress slowly, calmly and seriously. Dont worry about me. Ill go out then? Huo Xunzhou nodded at her. Lin Shanchu quickly opened the door and left the room. The entrance was packed with security guards maintaining order, so Lin Shanchu easily blended into the crowd. A sharp-eyed security guard noticed her. Miss Lin! What happened? Lin Shanchu asked seriously while looking at the messy crowd. Just as the security guard who looked troubled was about to speak, Yun Wu noticed Lin Shanchu. Shanshan! Im sorry, I have to go over there. As Lin Shanchu spoke, she turned around and walked towards Yun Wu. She knew best what was going on. She deliberately struck up a conversation with the security guard just to let everyone notice that she was the main character. As soon as Lin Shanchu walked over, Yun Wu pulled her arm and asked, What took you so long? Where did you go? Lin Shanchu calmly changed the topic. Why did you hurt your head? Nan Mu chimed in, Speaking of which, its ominous. Huo Chaosheng said, Its indeed ominous. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Finally, a reporter spotted Lin Shanchu. Look, Lin Shanchu is here! The reporters tried to walk towards Lin Shanchu, but the security guards stopped them. The hotel manager squeezed through the crowd with great effort and said, Miss Lin, dont worry. Well clear the area as soon as possible, but Some reporters have entered the room. The person-in-charge spoke vaguely. Lin Shanchu frowned slightly and looked at Room No. 9627 with a puzzled expression. When she and Huo Xunzhou left the room, they deliberately left the door unlocked. Judgin from what the person-in-charge said, some reporters had gone into the room. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes slightly and walked towards the door with a solemn expression. The person-in-charge apanied her and led the security guards to open the way for her. Lin Shanchu did not bring her room card with her. When she reached the door, sne 100Kea at tne person-marge ana said, Open tne aoor! The person-in-charge took out the spare room card. Lin Shanchu reached out and turned the doorknob. The door opened and she walked in slowly. Behind her, the person-in-charge instructed the security guards to stop the reporters. Lu Shiyuan booked the entire venue for the wedding. After such a disgraceful incident, the hotel had to be concerned about Lu Shiyuans dignity. Huo Chaosheng had rushed back from the hospital to watch the drama unfold. Of course, he wanted to make this issue as big as possible. He raised his hand at the bodyguards. The bodyguards understood his signal and engaged in a conflict with the hotel security guards, Then, the reporters took advantage of the situation and entered into the room. Bang! Amotion was heard in the bedroom. Lin Shanchu walked over and grabbed the doorknob. The door opened with a click. What followed was a thick stench that was simr to bodily fluids. The room was in a mess. Pillows were thrown on the floor, delicate ribbons were scattered everywhere and there were obvious wet stains on the nket. The bedroom was filled with traces after the deed. Xia Jinmeng was still on the bed. She screamed and pulled the nket tightly to cover herself. The sound of water came from the bathroom. The effect of the strong drug given by Huo Chaosheng could not have worn off so quickly. However, Lu Shiyuan probably regained some of his rationality when the reporters barged in earlier. He was now probably refreshing himself with cold water in the bathroom. Lin Shanchu gently closed her eyes after figuring it out. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were red-rimmed. She shouted at the bathroom door, Lu Shiyuan! Come out if you are still a man! What are you hiding from? You coward who dare not take responsibility for your actions! Her weeping voice was sharp and hoarse. It was obvious that she was on the verge of copse. The rtionship between Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu had been entangled like a drama series for many years. The reporters present knew that today was probably the end. No one wanted to miss such an exciting ending. Therefore, a reporter took advantage of the chaos and kicked open the bathroom door. Lu Shiyuan stood under the showerhead and the bathrobe on his body was wrapped sloppily. It was a little cold in the early autumn, so the cold water made him tremble. He slowly raised his head and saw the camera lenses before he saw Lin Shanchu. As tears streamed down her face, she curled her lip slightly and her eyes were as cold as ice. Lin Shanchu At this moment, Lu Shiyuan had sobered up. He remembered the ss of wine that Lin Shanchu had handed him. Lin Shanchu knew him too well. She Imew that he was suspicious, so she put the drug in her own ss of wine. She knew that he wanted to see her show weakness the most, so she was teary-eyed when she provoked him with those words. She had made all the preparations and set up a trap, waiting for him to fall for it. At this moment, Lu Shiyuan finally understood that Lin Shanchu had never given up on taking him down. Lin Shanchu took two steps forward. We grew up together. Is this how you treat me? The reporters behind her could not see the smile on Lin Shanchus face. They could only hear her sad and hopeless voice. On our wedding day, in our room, on our bed, you and another woman Lin Shanchu choked and took a deep breath before wiping the tears from her face. Her smile deepened she said in a decisive and happy tone, From now on, I shall sever ties with you, Lu Shiyuan! We will have nothing to do with each other in life and death! Chapter 298 - 298: #LuShiyuanAffairWithXiaJiaMengOnHisWeddingDay Chapter 298: #LuShiyuanAffairWithXiaJiaMengOnHisWeddingDay Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Suppressing her smile, Lin Shanchu turned around with tears in her eyes and left without looking back. Lin Shanchu looked disheartened and her face was filled with tears in the reporters cameras. No matter how one looked at it, she was a heartbroken woman who had suffered a huge emotional betrayal. Nan Mu and the others rushed over and escorted Lin Shanchu outside. The surroundings were noisy, but Lin Shanchu felt that the entire world was clear and peaceful. Sixteen years passed in the blink of an eye. She had been entangled with Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan for half her life, and now it was finallying to an end. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. After walking out of the room, He Xiang whispered to Lin Shanchu, Sister Lin, are you okay? Im fine. Lin Shanchu smiled at He Xiang with tears flowing down from her eyes again. Did she look like she was fine? He Xiang worriedly took out a tissue and handed it to Lin Shanchu. Are you really alright? Nan Mu asked her with a serious expression. Although he had always hated Lu Shiyuan, he was delighted that Lu Shiyuan ended up in this state. However, Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu had known each other for many years and their rtionship wasplicated. It was impossible for Lin Shanchu not to feel upset when such an incident happened. Lin Shanchu saw through Nan Mus thoughts and smiled. Ill touch up my makeup and then go to the front hall to appease the guests. Nan Mu was stunned for a moment and quickly turned to call He Xiang. He Xiang! Didnt you hear Sister Lin say that she wanted to touch up her makeup? Hurry up! At a time like this, Lin Shanchu even tried to appease the guests and seize the lead in public opinion. It was enough to show that Lin Shanchu was really fine. The reporters inside had taken photos for two rounds. What was the point of Zhou Yaning at this time? Nan Mu nced in the direction where Zhou Yan had left and exined to Lin Shanchu in a low voice, Previously, I heard that something happened here. I borrowed a few bodyguards from Huo Chaosheng and held Zhou Yan back. I see. Although Zhou Yan liked to be a dog, his ability was not bad, so it was no wonder he did not rush over immediately. Lin Shanchu went to the front hall after touching up her makeup. The banquet wasing to an end and the guests should have left. However, the banquet hall was full of guests. Obviously, they wanted to watch the drama unfold after hearing about the affair between Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng. Everyone, thank you foring to my wedding, Lin Shanchu said as she stood on the stage with a microphone in her hand. She bowed deeply to the audience before she continued, For the past many years, I never thought of marrying any other man besides him. Later on, those unbearable incidents that everyone knew happened. I was once swayed, but Ive known him for 16 years. I think our fate is predestined But everything that happened today made me understand that I cant spend the rest of my life with a man who keeps betraying my feelings and cant even give me the least bit of dignity and respect! Im very sorry for disappointing everyones blessings. Lin Shanchus tone was calm and sad, and she paused several times to adjust her emotions. Nan Mu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Shanchu. He could not tell if she was really sad or it was just her pretense. He simply asked Yun Wu, who had a good rtionship with Lin Shanchu, Do you think Shanshan acting or its real Its an act, Huo Chaosheng answered Nan Mu. Nan Mu asked, How do you know? This is a secret. He certainly would not tell Nan Mu that Lin Shanchu had asked him to get the drug. It was a secret between him and Lin Shanchu. Huo Chaosheng seemed to know something. Nan Mu could not figure it out. Why did Lin Shanchu get involved with Huo Chaosheng? Yun Wu sighed softly and said, As expected of the top schr in liberal arts, fancy words juste out of her mouth. Yeah, Shanshan saved me a lot of money for public rtions. Nan Mu agreed. Qi Cheng said, Well have a lot of work to do next. For the entire day, Lin Shanchu was on the trending search list. In the morning, Huo Xunzhou and the others went to pick her up before Lu Shiyuan did. At noon, Huo Chaosheng caused a scene at the wedding venue. In the afternoon, Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng were caught red-handed in bed. With so many media outlets present, they all wanted to seize the first-hand news. As soon as they got the material, they immediately published the articles. All the major tforms scrambled to report that Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng had been caught red-handed in bed. Not only did the news be trending on Weibo, but it also overwhelmed the search lists of all other tforms. #LuShiyuanLinShanchuXiaJinmeng #LinShanchuSaidSheDisappointedEveryoneBlessings #NothingToDoWithEachOtherInLifeAndDeath #TheDayHasCome #LuShiyuanConstantBetrayal #LuShiyuanandXiaJinmengLive #HugSisterRabbit Newsfeed about the affair between Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng were over all the social media tforms. Even the indecent photos taken by the first batch of reporters who entered the room had been leaked. Lin Shanchu sent away all the guests who attended the wedding. Most of the guests sympathized with Lin Shanchu, but some of them watched the drama unfold and gloated over her misfortune. After sending away thest batch of guests, it was already night outside. Lin Shanchu stood in front of the window, looking at the city lit up by the night lights. He Xiang looked out of the window and asked, Sister Lin, what are you looking Without answering the question, Lin Shanchu said, Its getting dark. He Xiang was bewildered. Lin Shanchu continued, But as long as you have a little patience and live a little longer, youll be able to wait until dawn. He Xiang said, You are right. She felt that Lin Shanchus words were a little exaggerated. When Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and turned around, the elevator door beside her opened with a ding. Li MO pushed Huo Xunzhou out of the elevator. He Xiang and Li MO took the initiative and called out to the other party. President Huo. Miss Lin. Lin Shanchus lips curled into a mischievous smile. President Huo, why are you here? In contrast, Huo Xunzhous expression was much more indifferent. My brothers leg injury hasnt recovered yet and hes been staying in this crowded ce for an entire day, so it is only natural for me toe to take a look. Oh. Lin Shanchu dragged her voice. Huo Chaoshengs voice came from nearby. Third Brother! Huo Xunzhou nced at Lin Shanchu again before gesturing for Li MO to push him away. After Huo Xunzhou was some distance away, He Xiang whispered to Lin Shanchu, Why did President Huo suddenly get a crew cut? Lin Shanchu chuckled as she looked in the direction Huo Xunzhou had left. Does it look good on him? He did not get a crew cut all of a sudden. He did it for her. He Xiang replied, Of course it looks good on him. I feel that he looks fiercer Huo Chaosheng noticed Huo Xunzhous crew cut the moment he saw him. Third Brother, why did you get this kind of haircut? I wanted to. He killed the conversation with those three words. Huo Chaosheng was dumbstruck. Lets go, Huo Xunzhou said. Huo Chaosheng looked at Lin Shanchu, who was standing nearby. You know about the news about Lu Shiyuan, right? After all, Lin Shanchu is my friend. I have tofort her after she encountered such a big incident Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrow and asked emotionlessly, Are you going or not? Huo Chaosheng said forcefully, Lets go.. Chapter 299 - 299: How Can Surveillance Cameras Be Broken Just Like That? Chapter 299 - 299: How Can Surveince Cameras Be Broken Just Like That? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Chaosheng followed behind Huo Xunzhou reluctantly. When Huo Chaosheng passed by Lin Shanchu, stopped in his tracks and said, Ill be going back now. Goodbye. Lin Shanchu smiled. Speechless, Huo Chaosheng wonder if she could ask him to stay behind. He really wanted to know how Lin Shanchumitted the crime. Can you handle it alone? Huo Chaosheng winked at her. Lin Shanchu blinked innocently. Yeah, I can handle it. Huo Xunzhou said softly, Shes a signed artist with Tianzhou Media. She has a manager and an assistant. Nan Mu will also help her. In other words, Huo Chaosheng did not need to be a busybody. Thats true. Huo Chaoshengs lips curled into an emotionless smile as he gave Lin Shanchu a dirty look. Lin Shanchu stepped forward after watching Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng enter the elevator. After walking for a short while, she met Qi Cheng. The hotel has been cleared. All the guests and reporters have left. President Nan is still negotiating with the hotel manager Qi Cheng paused slightly before he continued, Zhou Yan also brought people over and said that he wanted to check the surveince cameras. Lets go take a look. Lin Shanchu smiled. When they went over, Zhou Yan was quarreling with the person-in-charge. How can surveince cameras be broken just like that? Or are you trying to cover for someone? Zhou Yan angered the person in charge with his aggressive attitude. Assistant Zhou, youre going too far by saying that. President Lu is our client, and its natural that we side with our client. It was indeed an ident that the surveince cameras broke. Besides, the truth is right in front of us. Who else is worthy for we have to protect? Whom can we cover for? As the person in charge spoke, his tone unconsciously carried a trace of disdain. It was not something new for Lu Shiyuan to fool around outside despite having a fiance. He did not expect that on the day of his wedding, he would abandon the bride and have an affair with another woman in the wedding room. What a disgrace to men! Zhou Yan could sense the implicit meaning behind the person in charges words _ he warned. The person in charges lips twitched. He had a disdainful look on his face, but he said respectfully, Assistant Zhou, if theres nothing else, Ill be leaving now. Theres still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. This was the first time Lin Shan Chu saw Zhou Yan red in the face while arguing with someone. He even threw away his dignity and lost hisposure. How unsightly. The person in charge turned around and saw Lin Shan Chu. Miss Lin. The person in charge looked at her with a hint of sympathy. Good job. Lin Shanchu nodded slightly. The person in charge spoke gently, Miss Lin, please feel free to tell me if you need anything. Lin Shanchu initially came to watch the drama unfold. Now that the person in charge had left, she turned around and prepared to leave. To her surprise, Zhou Yan suddenly went forward to stop her. Did you do it? Make it clear. Lin Shanchu smiled. Zhou Yan stared daggers at her as he said, Its about President Lus affair and the surveince cameras. Its true that like master, like dog. If you dont find the reason for your own mistakes, youll me others first. The smile on Lin Shanchus face gradually disappeared and her eyes turned cold. Zhou Yans expression changed drastically. You Lin Shanchu casually interrupted Zhou Yan, Lu Shiyuan signed Xia Jinmeng with thepany and hes the one who slept with her. I didnt force him, so what does it have to do with me? Zhou Yan was rendered speechless by her words. After finished speaking, Lin Shanchu turned around and left. Of course, she did note here just to watch the drama unfold. She knew that Huo Xunzhou was cautious, but still she wanted to make sure that the surveince cameras had been taken care of. It did not matter if what she did was discovered, but Huo Xunzhou could not be discovered. Nan Mu was also looking around for Lin Shan Chu. The group finally rendezvoused in the corridor. Ive already negotiated with the hotel manager. Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng were caught red-handed on the spot. Theres unlikely to be any changes afterwards. Lu Shiyuans reputation is really ruined this time. Nan Mus suppressed voice was filled with uncontroble excitement. He looked even happier than when he had invested 100 million yuan. Are the surveince cameras really broken? Lin Shanchu asked thoughtfully. I am acquainted with the person in charge after having a dinner together back then. I wormed information out of him just now. He said that the surveince system was destroyed remotely, but he didnt dare to say it publicly. After all, it would have a negative impact on the hotel Hearing Nan Mus words, Lin Shan Chu waspletely relieved. She guessed that Huo Xunzhou had probably found some help. It would be fine as long as it did not implicate Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchus footsteps also became lighter as she said, Its gettingte. Lets go back and rest. Nan Mu yawned. I am a little tired. Everyone was tired after a long day. Qi Cheng and He Xiang also looked tired. On the way back, Lin Shanchu once again noticed the wound on Nan Mus head. President Nan, what happened to the wound on your head? When she asked them earlier, they all said that it was ominous. Nan Mu reached out and gently touched the area wrapped in gauze. When we saw you being taken away by Lu Shiyuans people, we wanted to follow you to find out whats going on. But as soon as we left the banquet hall, I was hit by a falling wallmp. Huo Chaoshengs old injuries suddenly rpsed and Yun Wu also hit her head Ouch! Nan Mu felt his wound hurt again and looked out of the window. The feng Shui of this hotel isnt good. Its very ominous. Lin Shanchu had a vague guess in her mind. So, none of you were able to leave the banquet hall? Yeah, we went to bandage our wounds first. When we came back, we heard that something had happened in the guest room behind us, so we went there Nan Mu thought of something else and continued, But why werent you in the room earlier? Where did you go? Ill invite you guys to my house for dinner in two days after the matter is settled. Lin Shanchu smiled at Nan Mu and changed the topic without any concealment. Faced with a choice between curiosity and appetite, Nan Mu chose thetter without hesitation. Its a deal then! Qi Cheng and Nan Mu sent Lin Shanchu and He Xiang home. Sister Lin, why dont we have something to eat tonight? The considerate assistant went to the kitchen as soon as she entered the house. Only then did Lin Shanchu remember that she had been busy all day and had not eaten much. She absent-mindedly replied to He Xiang in the kitchen, Alright. Lin Shanchu sat on the sofa and began to review everything that had happened today. Many things had happened, just like a dream. Nan Mu and the others were injured because they wanted to follow her. It was definitely the systems doing. The system did not allow Nan Mu and the others to help her. If she had resigned to her fate, Xia Jinmeng would have gotten her way. When the time came, the top trending topic today would be: #LinShanchuHadAnAffairWithAStrangerInTheBridalChamberOnHerWeddingDay Next, the plot would have proceeded in the direction set by the system.. Chapter 300 - 300: Other Male Fans Are Allowed To Call You Sister Rabbit, Not Me? Chapter 300 - 300: Other Male Fans Are Allowed To Call You Sister Rabbit, Not Me? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion In the plot set by the system, the person who would lose his reputation was not Lu Shiyuan, but Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu would be cursed by theizens until she was cklisted. Her previous efforts would be in vain and she would fall into Lu Shiyuans hands again. Everything would be back to square one. However, she never intended to resign to her fate. Therefore, none of these assumptions were valid. Even at thest moment, the system was still threatening her. At that time, she almost thought that she had to start all over again. However, Huo Xunzhou appeared. She never believed in miracles, but at that moment, she clearly felt that she had seen a miracle. Lin Shanchu couldnt help but smile. She picked up her phone and turned on WeChat. She did not have time to look at her phone all day, so she had a lot of unread WeChat messages. However, there was no message from Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu pursed her lip and posted a message on her WeChat Moments: [A miracle.] She did not have many friends on her contact list. Other than the trainees she knew through My Stage, she only had the usual few people around her. As soon as she posted the message on her WeChat Moments, she received likes one after another. Some people evenmented on her post with emojis like hug emoji tofort her. Huo Chaosheng directlymented with a face with rolling eyes emoji. Lin Shanchu replied to Huo Chaosheng with a hitting the head with a frying pan emoji. Lin Shanchu returned to the contact list interface and saw Huo Xunzhous message. Huo Xunzhou: [Come down. [Image]] Lin Shanchu clicked open the image and noticed that it was an image of a back gate in the neighborhood. Lin Shanchu: [You are at the back gate of the neighborhood?] Huo Xunzhou replied instantly: [Yeah.] On the surface, that man did not even send her a WeChat message, but in fact, he secretly ran to the back gate of the neighborhood to wait for her. Lin Shanchu jumped off the sofa, put on her slippers and ran out. Sister Lin? Where are you going? He Xiang happened toe out to call her for dinner. Lin Shanchu replied, Im going out for a while. Lin Shanchu had grabbed the door handle, but He Xiang friendly reminded her, Well.. Why dont you change your shoes before going out? Oh. Lin Shanchu lowered her head and changed her shoes. He Xiang walked over and asked, Where are you going? Who are you meeting? Wen Huan. Lin Shanchu lied without batting an eyelid. He Xiang did not suspect anything and put a coat on Lin Shanchu. Its cold at night. Dont catch a cold. She Imew that Wen Huan was a special friend to Lin Shanchu and the two of them had met alone before. Moreover, Wen Huan had a strong sense of confidentiality, so she did not have to worry that Lin Shanchu would be caught in a candid shot when she met him. Thank you. Lin Shanchu opened the door and walked out, but then she stepped back. Should I touch up my makeup? Fortunately, not much makeupes off. You Great! Bang! Lin Shanchu closed the door and left. He Xiang looked at the mmed door and muttered the words Lin Shanchu had interrupted, Are you really going to meet Wen Huan? She suspected that Lin Shanchu had gone to meet Huo Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu jogged to the back gate. It was close to midnight. The neighborhood was very quiet and there was no one on the road. There were a number of cars parked in the parking spaces at the back of the neighborhood. However, what caught her eyes the most was a SUV parked across the road, directly opposite the gate. Apart from some celebrities, most of the residents in the neighborhood were business elites, so theymonly used business cars. SUVs were rare. At this moment, the car door opened and a man with a superior build got out of the SUV. The man was wearing a cap and a mask, revealing only his eyes that looked unusually deep under the dim street lights. Lin Shanchu looked around to make sure that there were no iing cars before she ran towards him with a smile. Huo Xunzhou stretched out his hands when she was two meters away from him. Lin Shanchu dove into his arms and was caught by him. Why did you run? Huo Xunzhous soft reprimand was heard above her head. Lin Shanchu raised her head with a smile and teased him, Teacher Huo, dont we look like were having an affair by sneaking around in the middle of the night? Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and looked at her with an indescribable sense of danger. If Sister Rabbit is willing, Teacher Huo can make an official announcement with Sister Rabbit now. When her fans called her Sister Rabbit, she found it especially cute. However, when Huo Xunzhou said the words Sister Rabbit, she felt an inexplicable sense of shame. Lin Shanchu silently reached out to cover her hot ears and said, How shameless. Who is your sister? Dont all your fans call you by this nickname? Other male fans are allowed to call you Sister Rabbit, but not me? Huo Xunzhous tone was tinged with resentment. Lin Shanchu was taken aback. Do you usually pay attention to something like this on the inte? Huo Xunzhou slowly curled his lip andughed briefly. Not only that, I will also pay attention to the love letters your fans wrote to you. The writing skills of female fans are obviously better than that of male fans. Speaking of this, Lin Shanchu had a lot to talk about. In your fan page, the essays that your fans wrote to you are not bad either. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. Lin Shanchu defended herself. But my fans are better at writing. Huo Xunzhou chuckled. Then, he opened the car door. Get in. Lin Shanchu obediently got into the SUV and fastened her seatbelt. After Huo Xunzhou got into the SUV, she asked, Where are we going? Huo Xunzhou said concisely, Have fun. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and puzzledly looked at him. He came to look for her in the middle of the night just to take her out to have fun? Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes before he took out a tote bag from behind and gave it to her. Eat something. Lin Shanchu opened it and found a sandwich inside. How do you know I havent eaten yet? Lin Shanchu was starved, so he could not wait to take a bite. The taste was not bad. Huo Xunzhou started the SUV and asked her casually, Is it delicious? Yes. Lin Shanchu nodded seriously and said, Where did you buy it? Ill ask He Xiang to buy it for me next time. Huo Xunzhou only smiled without a word. Lin Shanchu saw his expression before looking at the packaging on the side. Then, she asked thoughtfully, You made it? Yes. Huo Xunzhou put his hand to his lips and cleared his throat lightly, looking a little embarrassed. Thank you. Lin Shanchu felt that the sandwich in her mouth tasted better. Huo Xunzhou replied reservedly, Youre wee. In fact, it was not surprising that Huo Xunzhou knew how to cook. After all, he wandered outside and did not live well when he was young. For people like them, cooking was not an extra skill, but a means of survival. Lin Shanchu was really hungry. She finished all three sandwiches that Huo Xunzhou had prepared in one go. She also drank arge ss of water. Huo Xunzhou watched her intently as he drove. She seemed to have a good appetite. He pursed his lip and pondered for a moment. In the end, he did not say anything. After Lin Shanchu finished eating, she looked up and looked around the SUV. After looking around for a long time, she asked Huo Xunzhou, Is this a new Chapter 301 - 301: Lin Shanchu, Don ‘t Provoke Me Chapter 301: Lin Shanchu, Don t Provoke Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou looked straight ahead and replied without looking back, Yeah. He picked up a new car. He was going to take her out to have fun. Lin Shanchu felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity after connecting the dots. Humans had deeper memories of the shameful things they had done. Lin Shanchu quickly recalled thements she had made on Wen Huans Moments. Huo Xunzhou watched the entire process. Therefore He deliberately picked up a brand new SUV and took her out to have fun in the middle of the night? The sense of shame that had disappeared assaulted Lin Shanchu once again. The vibrating notification of a new message suddenly rang out, saving Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu quickly clicked open WeChat and saw Huo Chaoshengs message. Huo Chaosheng: [[lmage][lmage] My Third Brother cooked tonight. Can you believe it?] Huo Chaosheng: [He must have felt very sorry for me because my leg injury rpsed today, so he cooked the meal himself.] The photo showed sandwiches that had been carefully ced on the te. Based on Lin Shanchus understanding of Huo Chaosheng, he had probably arranged the sandwiches on the te and taken the photo to show off to her. Huo Chaosheng really had a strong brotherplex. Thinking that Huo Chaosheng had done her a great favor today, she decided to say something nice to coax him. Lin Shanchu: [Your Third Brother is so nice. I really envy you.] Huo Chaosheng: [If my Third Brother cooks next time, Ill give you some.] Lin Shanchu: [Ill thank you in advance then.] Huo Chaosheng: [ [Ok.jpg] Are you home yet? How about youe out to have fun?] Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou.[Will your Third Brother allow you toe out?] Huo Chaosheng: [Hes going to take a flight back to Capital City early tomorrow morning. Hes already asleep, so I can sneak out.] The car stopped at this moment. Lin Shanchu looked out of the window and realized that they had reached the hilltop in the suburbs. She averted her gaze and nced at the phone screen for the message Huo Chaosheng had just sent over. Huo Xunzhou unbuckled his seatbelt and turned around to see Lin Shanchu staring at him without blinking. Why are you looking at me like that? As he spoke, he leaned over to help her unbuckle her seatbelt. Lin Shanchu asked, Youre going to take a flight back to Capital City in the morning? It was already past midnight. Huo Xunzhou nced at her phone. Did Chaosheng tell you? His decision to return to Capital City was made at the eleventh hour. Even Nan Mu did not know about it yet. She had been texting on her phone just now, so Huo Chaosheng was the only one who told her about it. It seemed like it was true. No wonder he drove his new car out and took her out to have fun in the middle of the night. Lin Shanchu smiled as she opened the car door. However, Huo Xunzhou was one step ahead of her and grabbed her hand that was about to open the car door. What else did he say? It was very quiet in the SUV. The distance between the two of them was so close that they could even hear each others breathing clearly. The mans cold breath assaulted her like a dense woven, leaving her nowhere to escape. He said Lin Shanchu whispered. His Third Brother personally cooked for him. He felt that his Third Brother doted on him very much. What else? Huo Xunzhou moved closer. He didnt say anything else His emotionless tone triggered Lin Shanchus instinct to protect herself. She subconsciously felt that it was better not to tell him what she was going to say next. Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips before kissing it gently. Shanshan, it seems that you dont want to get out of the car. He looked at her with a deep and dark gaze. Lin Shanchus heart suddenly skipped a beat. She did not dare to look into his eyes. She lowered her eyes and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear before she said softly, Dont get out of the car then. She felt Huo Xunzhou tighten his grip on her hand. Lin Shanchu curled her lip slightly. She raised her head and widened her eyes slightly, looking naive and innocent. But Brother Xunzhou, you cant bear to bully a patient like me, right? Huo Xunzhous expression froze. Lin Shanchu raised her head triumphantly and kissed him on the corner of his lips. Then, she asked him seriously, Are we going to get out of the car? Huo Xunzhou snorted and warned, Lin Shanchu, dont provoke me. However, his tone was neither fierce nor intimidating at all. Lin Shanchu obediently replied, Oh. Huo Xunzhou paused and stepped back a little. Then, he lowered his head and looked at her face. If you know that youre a patient, you have to go to the hospital to consult a doctor, understand? Lin Shanchu frowned as she said, Huo Xunzhou, you were lying when you said you wanted to take me out. In fact, you are trying to persuade me to go to the hospital, arent you? Huo Xunzhou looked away guiltily. Silence was equivalent to acquiescence! Not all illnesses can be treated at the hospital. When she was in the hotel, the system threatened to punish her. At that time, she was in so much pain that she almost died on the spot. However, she felt that her physical condition was obviously much better now. Perhaps her illness had always been controlled by the system. Once she was out of the systems control, her illness would be cured. Huo Xunzhou then averted his gaze and looked at her inquisitively. A momentter, he opened the car door and said, Lets get out of the car. The two of them got out of the car together. Lin Shanchu looked up at the starry sky and said, The weather will be good tomorrow. Come here. Huo Xunzhou walked to the front of the SUV and reached out to her. She walked over and handed her hand to him. Then, he held her waist and carried her to the hood of the SUV. Right after Lin Shanchu sat down, she eximed softly, You can see the night view of the entire Xu City from here. Huo Xunzhou followed her gaze. Today is Monday. After the stock market opens, Lu Corporations stock will definitely hit the rock bottom. Lin Shanchu turned to look at him. Huo Xunzhou patted her head and continued, With such a scandal happening to Lu Shiyuan, both thepanys shareholders and investors will harbor negative emotions. They will sell the stocks at low prices, and someone will definitely take the opportunity to buy up Lu Corporations shares. Lin Shanchu nodded and said, Although Lu Shiyuans reputation is ruined, it still has a lot ofmercial value. Many people proabbly want to acquire Lu Corporation now Lin Shanchu suddenly thought of something. She then paused and looked at Huo Xunzhou carefully. Dont you want to acquire Lu Corporation? What about you? Huo Xunzhouughed. Do you want Lu Corporation to change its name into Lin Corporation? Is this something I can think about? Lin Shanchu was stunned. He made it sound as if Lu Corporation could turn into Lin Corporation as long as she wanted to. What if your wishes true? Huo Xunzhou stared at her. His serious gaze shocked Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou was introverted by nature,pletely different from those boastful scoundrels outside. Therefore, he said those words because he was 100% confident. Lin Shanchu was a little scared. Huo Xunzhou must be lovestruck. He did not want such a good opportunity and actually wanted to give Lu Corporation to her! Where was the promised career approval? I dont know how to do business. What if I make it go out of business? I would feel guilty if many people were to lose their jobs. Guilty? Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow at her and his tone was full of doubt. Lin Shanchu was speechless.. Chapter 302 - 302: Would You Believe Me If I Said It Was A Coincidence? Chapter 302: Would You Believe Me If I Said It Was A Coincidence? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu felt a little guilty. She was indeed not a good person after everything she had done. Lin Shanchu muttered, You also added fuel to the fire and helped to clean up my mess several times Although her voice was soft, she said it confidently. It was hard for Huo Xunzhou not to hear it, but he could not refute her. It was because Lin Shanchu was telling the truth. After the two of them fell silent for a while, they tacitly decided to avoid this topic. After an unknown amount of time, Lin Shanchu finally felt tired. Then, Huo Xunzhou said, Ill take you home. Alright. Lin Shanchu obediently reached out to him, asking him to carry her down. When the car stopped at the entrance of the residential area, Lin Shanchus sleepiness faded a little and she felt a little more awake. What time is your flight? she asked Huo Xunzhou. 7:00 a.m. Lin Shanchu looked at the time and realized that it was almost 4:00 a.m. Huo Xunzhou had no time to rest at all. Huo Xunzhou saw through her thoughts andforted her. Its fine. Before Lin Shanchu got out of the car, she recalled the conversation they had about Lu Corporation. I really dont know how to do business, nor do I know how to manage apany! She was really afraid that Huo Xunzhou would acquire Lu Corporation and give it to her. Huo Xunzhou was the kind of person who kept his word. He would definitely do such a thing. Huo Xunzhou had one hand on the car window and the other on the steering wheel. He saidzily, I can do it. Then you Lin Shanchu looked happy. Huo Xunzhou interrupted her, But Im not a helpful person. I only help my wife manage thepany. Lin Shanchu replied, What? She could not keep up with Huo Xunzhous pace in the conversation. Why did he suddenly mention my wife? Was he proposing to her? Lin Shanchu was so sleepy and confused that she could not think straight. Go back and have a good rest. He watched Lin Shanchu enter the residential area and returned to the car to wait. He tapped his index finger on the steering wheel and counted the time in his mind. After a while, he took out his phone and called Lin Shanchu. The faint sound of the door opening could be heard from the other end. Are you home? he asked. Yes. Lin Shanchu was afraid of waking He Xiang up, so she lowered her voice. Good night. Good night, Lin Shanchu replied softly like a thief and hung up the phone. On the other end of the phone, Huo Xunzhou confirmed that she had hung up before driving away. He Xiang left the lights in the entrance hall on for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu changed her shoes and walked in quietly. When she passed by the living room, He Xiang jumped up from the sofa with a nket over her head. Sister Lin! Youre back! Lin Shanchu stiffly turned around and asked, Why are you sleeping in the living room? I was waiting for you. He Xiang picked up her phone and looked at the time in a daze. Its already 4:00 a.m.! He Xiang suddenly became awake and widened her eyes in disbelief. Sister Lin, you She left homete at night and only returned when it was almost dawn. It was really suspicious. He Xiang was more and more certain that Lin Shanchu had gone out to meet Huo Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu walked over with a calm expression and pushed He Xiang back onto the sofa before covering her with a nket. Go to sleep. He Xiang silently pulled down the nket that covered her head. Lin Shanchu was really suspicious. The first thing Lin Shanchu did when she returned to her room was to summon the system again. However, after waiting for a long time, the familiar mechanical voice did not ring in her mind again. Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng had slept together, and the male leads aura was gone. The system was also gone. But why was she still alive and well? So, did that f*cking system lie to her from the beginning? Was everything really going to end like this? Lin Shanchuy on the bed. Then, she tossed and turned while thinking for a long time until she fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was already noon the next day. Lin Shanchu stared nkly at the ceiling for a while before reaching out to pick up her phone. She first looked at the unread WeChat messages on her phone. Huo Chaosheng: [My Third Brother is not human! He actually escorted me back to Capital City!] Huo Chaosheng: [Why arent you replying to me?] Huo Chaosheng: [Are you ignoring me after youre done using me?] Huo Chaosheng: [Just you wait. Ill definitelye back.] Huo Chaosheng: [Lin Shanchu! Did you block me?] Huo Chaosheng: [Why is Third Brother like this?! I really didnt expect him to be such a person!] Huo Chaosheng was usually talkative, but it was the first time Lin Shanchu had seen Huo Chaosheng spamming so many messages. It was obvious that Huo Chaosheng was very angry at Huo Xunzhou for suddenly taking him back to Capital City. However, Huo Xunzhou was really mean. She knew that Huo Chaosheng did not want to return to Capital City, but Huo Xunzhou insisted on taking him back quietly. Lin Shanchu typed slowly to reply to him. Lin Shanchu: [I just woke up.] Lin Shanchu: [Youre back in Capital City?] Lin Shanchu: [Im not angry. Ill go to Capital City to hang out with you when I have time.] Huo Chaosheng replied instantly: [At least you have a conscience.] Huo Xunzhou sent her WeChat messages early in the morning, but his messages was at the bottom because he was first to send them and there were many people who sent her messages. Huo Xunzhou had sent her two messages in total. Huo Xunzhou: [Im boarding now. [photo]] A photo of him boarding the ne was attached to the message and there was no more unnecessary message. Huo Xunzhou: [I got off the ne. [photo]] A photo of Capital City Airport was attached. Lin Shanchu couldnt help butugh. Was this what a straight man would do? It was a little cute. Lin Shanchu replied with a smile: [Okay, got it.] After that, Lin Shanchu replied to the others one by one. Finally, she saw Wen Huans message. Wen Huan: [[photo][photo][photo][photo]] Lin Shanchu clicked open the message and saw the photos of Huo Xunzhou picking her upst night. However, Huo Xunzhou was wearing a hat and a mask in the photo, so his face could not be seen clearly. Coupled with the dim lighting at night, it was difficult for ordinary people to recognize him easily. Lin Shanchu: C] Wen Huan: Lin Shanchu: [You really didnt put a tracker on me, did you?] Wen Huan: [Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?] He was just wandering around outside. How would he know that he would be able to take pictures of such incident? Lin Shanchu: [I believe you.] She suspected that Wen Huan was a hidden highlight character with additional buffs. Otherwise, it would be very illogical. The screen kept showing that the other party was typing. Wen Huan hesitated for a long time before asking: [Who is this man?] Lin Shanchu: [] To her surprise, Wen Huan failed to recognize Huo Xunzhou. He was indeed someone with an aura. Lin Shanchu: [Im not going to tell you.] Wen Huan advised her earnestly: [Be careful, the Huo brothers arent good people.] Lin Shanchu: [Thank you.] Wen Huan: [[Sisters.jpg]] Lin Shanchu: C] Great, Wen Huanpletely thought that she was a phnderess.. Chapter 303 - 303: Which Teacher Huo? Chapter 303: Which Teacher Huo? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu was so busy yesterday that she did not even have time to turn on Weibo. After she finished processing the messages on WeChat, she turned on Weibo. #LuShiyuanAffairWithXiaJiaMengOnHisWeddingDay still topped the trending list. The poprity was still high. The hashtag #MistressXiaJinmeng also became trending. She clicked on it and saw all thements condemning Xia Jinmeng. Both Xia Jinmengs Weibo and fan page were overwhelmed. All the brands andpanies that coborated with her immediately issued termination statements. My Stage and Glimmer Girls also became trending. #MyStageMontage #GlimmerGirlsDisbands Xia Jinmengs scenes were removed from theter stage of My Stage overnight. The new group, Glimmer Girls, which was formed not long ago, suffered a great setback because of Xia Jinmeng and all the scheduled group activities were canceled. What awaited Xia Jinmeng was a huge liquidated damages and awork-wide ban. Lu Shiyuans Weibo was not any better than Xia Jinmengs. Compared to Xia Jinmeng, theizens condemned Lu Shiyuan even more harshly. [To hell with the marriage, scumbag!] [You couldnt control your lower body, but you still wanted to drag Sister Rabbit down and marry her. You even slept with Xia Jinmeng on the wedding day. You are really malicious.] [You had the nerve to say at the wedding that you grew up with Sister Rabbit and youre in love with her. Its scary to think about it.] [Once again, I witness the lower limit of a scumbag!] [Im not joking. I really feel a chill down my spine.] [I have always felt that this scumbag was in a hurry to marry Lin Shanchu to acquire the shares from her in a fair way because he thought that she had no one to support him. After marriage, he would randomly create some idents for Lin Shanchu, so that he could inherit her inheritance legally.] [I think thementer above has a point. This kind of scumbag with no lower limit is capable of doing anything.] [Can a cheater be sentenced?] [I hope that the disgusting man will be killed by a car when he goes out.] [F*ck, after reading thements, I suddenly thought of what Sister Rabbit said during the interview] [This scumbag must have driven Lin Shanchu crazy, right?] Theizens spections were not entirely correct. However, they were half-right. Lin Shanchu browsed Weibo again and realized that there were no signs of public rtions on Lu Shi Yuan and Xia Jin Mengs side. Since the matter had reached this point, their public rtions efforts would serve no purpose other than angering the public. Sister Lin, are you awake? She hade to see Lin Shanchu several times. Finally, she saw Lin Shanchu wake up. Yes. Lin Shanchu sat up. He Xiang walked in and said, Come out for lunch after you wash up. Lin Shanchu replied, Ille right away. In the afternoon, the stock market opened. The news of Lu Corporations stock hitting the lower circuit limit became trending. The trending topic was full of stakeholders condeming Lu Shiyuan. [Lu Shiyuan, this [In my previous life, I hurt other people. In this life, I bought Lu Corporations shares.] [Not only that, I must have been unlucky for eight lifetimes.] [@LuShiyuan, can you sleep and eat well? Do you dare to go out?] Not only did the stocks plummet, but even Lu Corporations artists were affected. The shareholders started calling Lin Shanchu. Miss Lin, someone has to deal with such a big incident in thepany, right? Whoever started the trouble should deal with it. Lin Shanchu was not in the mood to care about these useless old men. But we cant contact Lu Shiyuan! Then go to his house to find him. Theres no one at his house either. Check thepany, the hotel and the ces he often goes. If you really cant find him, call the police, understand? .Understood. The other party hung up the phone silently. Lin Shanchu immediately blocked all the shareholders calls. The irrelevant people should quit bothering her. It was none of her business whether thepany prospered or went bankrupt. Lin Shanchu threw her phone aside and turned to look out the window. She had no work arrangements recently. Qi Cheng had called her several times in the morning to remind her not to go out. She tried to call the system many times. There was no reaction at all. She did not know whether the system was really gone or it had been recalled because of the mission failure. Even the frequent cancer pain no longer acted up. She did not know what Huo Xunzhou was busy with, but he only replied after a long time, so she did not want to disturb him. She had nothing to do at all. How boring. Sister Lin, you and Teacher Huo are trending. He Xiang ran over excitedly with her phone. Teacher Huo? Lin Shanchu immediately sat up from the sofa as her eyes were filled with excitement. She and Huo Xunzhou were trending? Could it be that there were other reporters besides Wen Huan following themst night? He Xiang sat down next to her and handed her phone to Lin Shanchu. The hastag ranks high in the trending list! As Lin Shanchu looked at the obvious words #ChuShengPairing on the screen, the excitement in her eyes gradually disappeared. So its Huo Chaosheng. Hearing the disappointment in her tone, He Xiang asked, Thats right. Which Teacher Huo did you think? Lin Shanchu changed the topic. Why are we trending? Your wedding with Lu Shiyuan has been annulled and youre single again. Its natural that the shippers count on you and Teacher Alec to announce your marriage as soon as possible. He Xiang showed Lin Shanchu thements under the trending topic. [Both parties of the pairing that I ship are single. Will the official announcement be far away?] [Raise the banner of ChuSheng pairing!] Lin Shanchu looked at a fewments before averting her gaze uninterestedly. Sister Lin, will you and Teacher Alec make an official announcement? He Xiang asked tentatively. No, Lin Shanchu answered firmly. Butst night, you He Xiang was shocked. What happenedst night? Lin Shanchu felt a little guilty, but she did not show it. Lin Shanchus confident tone made He Xiang subconsciously feel guilty. Its nothing He Xiang no longer mentioned this matter. She sat beside Lin Shanchu and continued to y on her phone. Shortly afterwards, she found a new trending topic with the hashtag #AlecAppearedinCapitalCity. He Xiang raised her head and asked Lin Shanchu, Teacher Alec has returned to Capital City? Lin Shanchu replied, Yeah. Ever since Tang Qidai went to jail, He Xiang had be more cheerful and talkative. He Xiang did not speak for a while, so Lin Shanchu turned to look at her. He Xiang frowned and stared at her phone with a serious expression. Lin Shanchu quietly leaned over and read out thements on the screen, After what happened to Lin Shanchu yesterday, Alec returned to Capital City today. He made it quite clear with hisaction. He doesnt like Lin Shanchu at all. Stop shipping them. Sister Lin Thisment looks normal. Why do you have such an expression? Lin Shanchu asked her. Look at thesements. He Xiang showed Lin Shanchu the otherments. [Think about Alecs family background. How can he take a fancy to Lin Shanchu?] [Exactly, is Lin Shanchu worthy of Alec?] Almost all thements under this topic were simr. Lin Shanchus eyes brightened as she said joyfully, Someone hired Inte trolls to nder me! He Xiang was a little speechless. How can youugh at a time like this Quickly call Brother Qi and ask who did it. Finally, someone else was trying to give her a hard time! Chapter 304 - 304: Do You Think You Have Won? Chapter 304: Do You Think You Have Won? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiang did not understand why Lin Shanchu looked so happy. However, she quietly took out her phone and prepared to call Qi Cheng. She opened her contact list. Before she could make the call, Qi Cheng called her first. Brother Qi is calling me? He Xiang felt that it was too much of a coincidence. Lin Shanchu lifted her chin, signaling her to pick up the call quickly. Brother Qi? He Xiang put him on speaker. Wheres Shanshan? Qi Cheng asked. Why is her phone turned off? Is she still at home? He Xiang nced at Lin Shanchu, Sister Lin is at home. Shes right next to me. Lin Shanchu leaned over and asked, Brother Qi, did something happen? Qi Cheng was silent for a moment before he said, He Xiang and Tang Qidais case is about to start. Tang Qidaiswyer said that she wants to meet you. Lin Shanchu thought that Qi Cheng had found out that someone had hired Inte trolls toment that she was not worthy of Huo Chaosheng, but she did not expect that he called because of this matter. She wants to meet me? Lin Shanchu chuckled. Yes. When Qi Cheng received the news, he was hesitant about telling Lin Shanchu. However, on second thought, it was Lin Shanchus own business, so it was better to tell her. When is it? She had been in a good mood for the past two days and happened to be free, so she did not mind to meet Tang Qidai. Qi Cheng flipped through the schedule. In the afternoon. Ill go with you. After saying that, Qi Cheng changed the topic. By the way, someone hired Inte trolls to lead public opinion under the trending topic #AlecAppearedinCapitalCity. The other party has a powerful backing. Weve decided to ignore it first and then wait and see what happens. The other party has a powerful backing? Lin Shanchu was even more excited as she asked, Who is it? When Qi Cheng heard Lin Shanchus tone, he knew that she was up to something. He massaged his throbbing temples and replied, Ill tell you in detail when I have time. Beep! Qi Cheng hung up the phone impatiently. Lin Shanchu listened to the busy tone on the phone and had mixed feelings. Brother Qi hung up on me. She looked up at He Xiang and sounded a little aggrieved. He Xiang forced a smile. Brother Qi is busy. He didnt do it on purpose. She understood Qi Chengs dilemma too well! Oh, Lin Shanchu replied as she feltforted. She turned around to charge her phone and turned on Weibo. On the other hand, He Xiang received a WeChat message from Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng: [He Xiang, keep an eye on Shanshan. Dont let her cause trouble on Weibo.] He Xiang did not think it was that serious, but still she replied honestly: [Okay.] After He Xiang replied to the message, she looked up and saw Lin Shanchu staring at her phone. He Xiang immediately ran over vigntly. Sister Lin, what are you looking at? This theme park is so beautiful. Lin Shanchu handed the phone to He Xiang. It was a Weibo post by a travel blogger: [Ill definitely hang out with my friend at this ce! [picture][picture][picture]] This Weibo post contained nine photos. Every photo was very beautiful and the location was in Capital City. Who wouldnt like a beautiful and fun ce? He Xiang eximed, Wow, its really beautiful. Right? Lin Shanchu responded nonchntly and slowly reached out to tap on the repost button. At this point, everything was still normal. It was until He Xiang saw Lin Shanchu type Lets go y together when youre free and tag @AlecHuoChaosheng. He Xiang felt that something was wrong. Sister Lin Lin Shanchu gently pressed the post button and turned to smile at He Xiang. Hmm? He Xiang was speechless. She was done for. He Xiang helplessly sent Qi Cheng a WeChat message. He Xiang: [ [Im sinful.jpg]] Qi Cheng: [lts not your fault.] Qi Cheng had seen the Weibo post that Lin Shanchu had reposted and tagged Huo Chaosheng. He did not expect He Xiang to be able to control Lin Shanchu. Huo Chaosheng was in a good mood probably because Lin Shanchu had coaxed him on Wechat, so he quickly reposted Lin Shanchus Weibo post and replied to her. Alec Huo Chaosheng: [@ActressLin Shanchu, Ill take you out to have fun when my leg is better.] The interaction between the two people made the shippers very happy. [Ahhh! ChuSheng pairing is mutual!] [ROFL. Those whomented that Alec looks down on Lin Shanchu, please show yourself. ] [I dont know if these two people are in love, but I think their friendship is real!] Lin Shanchu was as happy as the shippers. As a public figure, it was normal forizens to have different opinions of her. She could ept them. However, she could not ept someone had ulterior motives and deliberately ndered her. Regardless of the other partys backing, she couldnt stand this kind of humiliation. In the afternoon, Qi Cheng came to fetch Lin Shanchu to the detention center to meet Tang Qidai. After getting into the car, Qi Cheng chatted with Lin Shanchu, I thought you wouldnt meet her. I have nothing to do anyway, Lin Shanchu saidzily. Qi Cheng was taken aback. It turned out she was too bored. This time, it was a private meeting. Tang Qidai was brought out as soon as Lin Shanchu entered the visitor room. Tang Qidai was wearing a prison uniform and had no makeup on her face. Her usually well-groomed long hair was simply tied behind her head, making her look much thinner and haggard- Tang Qidai sized up Lin Shanchu. I thought you wouldnte. Her voice was low and slightly hoarse. I have nothing to do anyvvay. Lin Shanchu repeated what she had said to Qi Cheng. Hernguid tone gave off an unapproachable sense of alienation. Tang Qidai smiled self-mockingly. I heard about Lu Shiyuans affair. Lin Shanchu finally raised her hand and looked her in the eye. Separated by the table, Tang Qidai leaned forward slightly and whispered, Youre really amazing, Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu looked indifferent but she did not say anything. Tang Qidais eyes widened as she stared at Lin Shanchu. Her hoarse voice was filled with joy and madness. The others may not understand you, but I do. I know you did it. Lin Shanchu curled her lip slowly and her slightly dragging voice carried a hint of excitement. Is that so? Only Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng knew the inside story of her plotting against Lu Shiyuan. In fact, what she did was against Huo Xunzhous code of conduct. Huo Xunzhou only helped her because he felt sorry for her, but it did not mean that he agreed with her. Therefore, she could not talk to Huo Xunzhou about this matter in depth, not could shepletely show him the dark side of her heart. Huo Xunzhou had taken Huo Chaosheng back to Capital City, so Lin Shanchu had been feeling a loneliness when she had no one to share her joy with. Now that Tang Qidai had exposed her, Lin Shanchu felt a strange sense of satisfaction. Lin Shanchus cheerful smile was an eyesore to Tang Qidai. Do you think you have won? Tang Qidai lost control of her facial expressior and shrieked, Im the winner. Im the one who made you and Lu Shiyuan tur against each other. Im the one who made you guyse to this point! Im the winner! Tang Qidai screamed again.. Chapter 305 - 305: You Could Have Had A Happy Life With Lin Shanchu, But You Ruined Everything Chapter 305: You Could Have Had A Happy Life With Lin Shanchu, But You Ruined Everything Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The police opened the door to check on the situation after hearing themotion. Im sorry. Tang Qidai immediately calmed down. The police officer frowned and instructed, Behave yourself. The police left and the door closed again. Lin Shanchu was losing her patience as she asked, You wanted to meet me just to talk about this? Her impatient tone agitated Tang Qidai again. Do you actually think this is a small matter? I didnt lose! I, Tang Qidai, didnt lose to you, Lin Shanchu! Its you two! You and Lu Shiyuan lost to me! Hahahahahaha Tang Qidaiughed hysterically. Lin Shanchu suddenly remembered thement she had seen on the Inte: Llnls scumDag must nave arrven Lin snau crazy, ngntg J She did not know if she had been driven crazy by Lu Shiyuan. However, Tang Qidai was indeed crazy, driven mad by her own inner demons. Lin Shanchu looked at Tang Qidai for a while, finding her crazy behavior rather boring. She then stood up and left. Lin Shanchu! Why are you leaving! Come back here! She closed the door and isted Tang Qidais voice from the room. Qi Cheng and He Xiang were waiting outside. When they saw Lin Shanchu did not look good, they looked at each other. After that, Qi Cheng called out to her, Shanshan? Lets go. Lin Shanchu walked out unhappily. After the group left the detention center, He Xiang opened the car door. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to get into the car, she felt a gaze on her. Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks. Then, she turned around and looked back, only to see Lu Shiyuan not far away. Lu Shiyuan had just gotten out of the car with Zhou Yan on his side. It was the first time the two of them had met since yesterdays incident. From such a distance, Lin Shanchu could see Lu Shiyuans ruthless gaze. It was a look that showed that he wanted to kill her even if he had to die with her. Lin Shanchus blood boiled all over his body. This was the feeling. Lu Shiyuan finally shared the same feeling as her. Lin Shanchu curled her lip and her clear eyes smiled. That smile slowly widened, looking charming yet strange. She smiled and bent down to sit in the car. As she fastened her seatbelt, she gently hummed a song. She seemed to be in a great mood. He Xiang sized Lin ShancChu up. It was still that familiar face and the usual gentle smile. Nothing had changed, but He Xiang felt a chill for no reason, making her scalp tingle and her hair stand on end. She did not even dare to breathe loudly. Even when Lin Shanchus car disappeared, Lu Shiyuan still stood there without moving. President Lu? Zhou Yan reminded him. Then, Lu Shiyuan averted his gaze and walked into the detention center. When he entered the visitor room, Tang Qidai was already sitting across the table and waiting for him. Brother Shiyuan, youre willing toe and meet me atst. Tang Qidai rested her chin on her hands and spoke in an extremely gentle tone. Lu Shiyuan asked her coldly, What secrets do you know about Lin Shanchu? He dared not go out or go home for the past two days. The reporters and shareholders had been looking for him everywhere. He did not know how things had turned out like this. However, he knew that everything happened because of Lin Shanchu. Therefore, when Tang Qidai requested to meet him and told him that she knew Lin Shanchus secret, he rushed over to meet her without hesitation. The gentleness on Tang Qidais face instantly vanished and her expression turned cold. Then, she looked at him with a mocking gaze and said, You dont even care if Im doing well here. How cold. Lu Shiyuans expression turned even colder. He saidmandingly, Tell me everything you know! Brother Shiyuan, dont be angry. Im so scared, Tang Qidai spoke fearfully before she covered her mouth with augh. Afterughing, Tang Qidai asked seriously, Didnt you like me in this form the most in the past? Why dont you like me now? As Tang Qidai spoke, she put on a knowing expression. Thats true. People change. We used to be so glorious. Now, I am a lowlife detested by everyone and am locked up here. Youve also lost your reputation and be theughing stock of the entire Xu City. I dont know how many people in Xu City areughing at you behind your back Tang Qidai! Shut up! Lu Shiyuans hands on the table clenched into fists as he looked at Tang Qidai with disgust. Tang Qidai sneered. What are you putting on airs for? Do you still think youre the President Lu that everyone fears? It was the first time Lu Shiyuan came to meet Tang Qidai after she was detained. Narrowing his eyes, he sized Tang Qidai up before he said certainly, You used to be gentle, sensible, and understanding, but it was all an act. You just found out? Tang Qidaiughed again as she asked, Dont you like that side of me? Youve been lying to me all these years! Although Lu Shiyuan had given up on Tang Qidai a long time ago, he could not tolerate being deceived by her disguise all these years. Yeah. Tang Qidaiughed more heartily when she noticed the surging anger on Lu Shiyuans face. Brother Shiyuan, there are still many things you dont know. For example, on the day Lin Shanchu, Auntie Lu, and I were kidnapped, I was not the one who sent the secret message and tried to protect Auntie Lu. I am not that selfless. I cherish my life very much. Only Lin Shanchu was so stupid Oh, youre also stupid. I just shed a few tears to coax you, and you believed me. You have always resented Lin Shanchu because of this incident all these years, right? Dont be angry. Also, when you were drowning back then, the person who risked her life to save you wasnt me. It was that idiot, Lin Shanchu, hahahaha Lu Shiyuan clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white. His eyes were filled with shock and overwhelming anger, as if he wanted to cut Tang Qidai into a thousand pieces. How dare you lie to me? He enunciated as he gritted his teeth. His voice was hoarse as if it had been ground by gravel. I didnt expect to fool you so easily. Tang Qidai chuckled innocently and continued, I managed to deceive you because you didnt trust Lin Shanchu. Moreover Didnt Lin Shanchu exin it to you? You didnt believe her, so who can you me? Tang Qidais every word and expression was filled with hatred. Other than the feeling of powerlessness like hatred, Lu Shiyuan could not retort her with any word. It was because Tang Qidai was telling the truth. From the very beginning, he had never trusted Lin Shanchu. One wrong step meant more mistakes. He hated Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu hated him too. Now that things hade to this point, it was already an irreversible situation. Tang Qidai was the one cause everything that happened! Tang Qidai felt even better when she saw how speechless Lu Shiyuan was. She twisted a knife in Lu Shiyuans heart as she added, You could have lived a happy life with Lin Shanchu, but you ruined everything.. Chapter 306 - 306: Actually I Am A Little Afraid Chapter 306: Actually I Am A Little Afraid Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lu Shiyuan trembled all over in rage and roared at Tang Qidai, Shut up! The more he lost control, the happier Tang Qidai became. Initially, she was attracted to Lu Shiyuan because of his tenderness and consideration for Lin Shanchu. In front of outsiders, the bad-tempered Lu Shiyuan would only be gentle to Lin Shanchu. She also wanted this favoritism. Therefore, she decided to rece Lin Shanchu. Over the years, she had pretended to be gentle and virtuous by Lu Shiyuans side. Step by step, she made Lu Shiyuanpletely despise Lin Shanchu, who was once the apple of his eye. What a pity. She had schemed for many years, but still she was defeated in one fell swoop. She lost to Lin Shanchu and was easily abandoned by Lu Shiyuan. Only then did she understand that a person like Lu Shiyuan was heartless. The so-called tenderness and consideration were all fake. How could he truly love someone else? He would only love himself forever! She had bet on the wrong horse. She was willing to ept the defeat. However, if she did not have a good ending, Lu Shiyuan should not have a good ending either. Regarding this, she had to thank Lin Shanchu for making her wishe true atst. Tang Qidai looked at Lu Shiyuan and taunted him seriously. Lu Shiyuan, you look so pitiful now. You look like an underdog that nobody wants. Tang Qidai! Bang! Lu Shiyuan stood up and kicked the table aside. He grabbed Tang Qidais hair roughly and pulled her out of the chair before strangling her. You deserve death! Lu Shiyuans eyes widened in rage and the veins on his forearms bulged due to the excessive force. There was only one thought in his mind nowkill Tang Qidai! Tang Qidais face quickly turned from red to purplish and her eyes widened in fear. Her mouth was agape, but she could barely make a sound as her hands iled around instinctively. The police immediately rushed in, trying to pull Lu Shiyuan away. Let go of her! However, Lu Shiyuan was so furious that he only wanted to strangle Tang Qidai to death. A police officer could not pull him away. Soon, more police officers ran over for support. Several police officers worked together to pull Lu Shiyuan away. At this moment, Tang Qidais face was pale as she fainted from the strangling. Hurry up and take her to the infirmary! On the way back, Lin Shanchu kept humming. Even the streetscape that she could see every day outside the window looked exceptionally beautiful. Lin Shanchu suggested excitedly, Qi Cheng interrupted Lin Shanchus delusions, Thepany has arranged for a physical examination tomorrow. The smile on Lin Shanchus face faded. Sure enough, that worrywart, Huo Xunzhou, still had not given up on convincing her to go for a medical check- up. He was trying to set her up. Im not going, she said firmly. Qi Cheng did not persuade her anymore. When He Xiang woke up and walked past the living room the next morning, she was shocked by Lin Shanchu who was pacing back and forth over there. Sister Lin? Yes. Lin Shanchu nced at her before pacing back and forth again. He Xiang noticed that Lin Shanchus eyes were wide awake. It was obvious that she had been up for a long time. Why are you up so early? I couldnt sleep. Lin Shanchu frowned slightly, looking a little anxious. Whats wrong? He Xiang asked. Lin Shanchu just shook her head. Her cancer pain had not acted up in the past two days. She guessed that her illness might have improved with the disappearance of her system. However, it was only her guess. She needed to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm this spection. What if the results were not satisfactory after she went to the hospital for a check-up? Once a person had something to worry about in this world, they would start to covet life and be afraid. It was all Huo Xunzhous fault. How annoying. He went to Capital City and left this difficult problem for her to make the choice. He Xiang did not ask any further questions. Seeing that Lin Shanchu was up so early, she asked casually, Are you really not going for the check-up today? Lin Shanchu suddenly looked up at her with resentment in her eyes. He Xiang was puzzled. Lin Shanchu looked even more anxious. He Xiang silently entered the kitchen, not daring to say anything more. As soon as He Xiang left, Lin Shanchus phone rang. Lin Shanchu nced at the note. Oh, it was a call from the annoying Huo Xunzhou. She did not want to answer the phone. Lin Shanchu ced her phone on the coffee table. She turned around and took two steps, but then she resigned herself to her fate and picked up her phone to answer the call. She did not say anything after picking up the call. She just waited for Huo Xunzhou to speak first. Huo Xunzhou seemed to have noticed her bad mood. After a moment of silence, he asked, Whats wrong? For a moment, Lin Shanchu did not know whether she should praise Huo Xunzhou for being perceptive or she should just hang up on him to show him how powerful she was. In the end, Lin Shanchu could not bear to hang up the phone and replied, Ha, what do you think? Huo Xunzhou naturally knew that it was because of the check-up. Its okay if you dont want to go. He was really reasonable. Before Lin Shanchu could speak, Huo Xunzhou added, If youre afraid, Ill apany you. You Lin Shanchu denied. Why do you think I am afraid? I am not. Is that so? Lets go for a check-up then. Ill pick you up after breakfast. Huo Xunzhou immediately replied, as if he was afraid that Lin Shanchu would regret it. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She felt like she had been tricked. Huo Xunzhous smiling voice sounded on the phone. See youter. Lin Shanchu immediately hung up the phone. Lin Shanchu went downstairs after breakfast and saw a familiar car. Li MO got out of the car and opened the door for her. Miss Lin. Thank you. Lin Shanchu bent down and got into the car with one foot, meeting Huo Xunzhous smiling charming eyes. Huo Xunzhou reached out to help her up. She snorted lightly and did not touch his hand. Instead, she got into the car and sat down closely against the window. The empty space between her and Huo Xunzhou was enough for one more person to sit down. Li MO quietly observed the two of them through the rearview mirror. ording to his experience as a senior shipper of this pairing, this waspletely a quarrel between a young couple. Li MO felt that he was enjoying the ship! Li MO quickly looked away and started the car when Huo Xunzhou nced at him in the rearview mirror. Huo Xunzhou looked forward again to make sure that Li MO was focused on driving and was not peeking. Then, he quietly inched toward Lin Shanchu. As Lin Shanchu felt Huo Xunzhou approaching, she looked at him with a straight face. Teacher Huo, youre squeezing me. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. Li MO, who was driving in front, gave a suppressedugh. A well- trained person like him would usually hold hisughter. However, it was too rare to see Huo Xunzhou suffer a setback. He really could not hold hisughter. Huo Xunzhou pursed his lip and red at Li Mo. Focus on driving. The smile on Li Mos face had not even faded as he replied seriously, Got it. Lin Shanchu turned around and stole a nce at Huo Xunzhou. He looked a little angry, as if he did not want to talk to her, but he did not move away from her. Lin Shanchu tugged at his sleeve and whispered into his ear, Actually, I am a little scared.. Chapter 307 - 307: Lu Shiyuan Posted An Apology Letter Chapter 307: Lu Shiyuan Posted An Apology Letter Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou slowly turned around after hearing her words. He looked intentlyat Lin Shanchu and held her hand before he said softly, Ill apany you. Lin Shanchu pursed her lip without a word. When they arrived at the hospital, Lin Shanchu saw Qi Cheng standing at the entrance and looking outside. Qi Cheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Shanchu. Shanshan. When He Xiang told him that Lin Shanchu wasing for a check-up, he did not fully believe it. However, why was she here with Huo Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu saw Qi Chengs confusion, but she had no intention of exining herself. He Xiang is in the car behind us. She got into Huo Xunzhous car, whereas He Xiang drove to follow them. Oh. Qi Chengs gaze paused on Lin Shanchu for two seconds before he turned to greet Huo Xunzhou. Teacher Huo. Huo Xunzhou nodded lightly at Qi Cheng. Then, Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou went into the hospital. Qi Cheng stood rooted to the ground and stared at their backs in a daze. Brother Qi. He Xiang came over. She tilted her head and followed Qi Chengs gaze as she asked, What are you looking at? She saw the backs of Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. He Xiang had aplicated look on her face. Brother Qi, which Teacher Huo do you think Sister Lin likes? Isnt it obvious? Qi Cheng replied as he raised his chin. He Xiang was bewildered. In that case, the one who asked Lin Shanchu out that night was not Huo Chaosheng, but Huo Xunzhou? What? Two brothers fighting over a woman? Lin Shanchu was a two-timer? Huo Xunzhou asked ady out in the middle of the night? He Xiang felt that she knew something incredible, so she muttered with a face full of fear, No way After the check-up, Lin Shanchu was the first to rush out of the hospital. The doctor said that the results would only be out in a few days, but still she was very anxious, fearing that the doctor would tell her the results on the spot. Huo Xunzhou followed closely behind her and said, I have to go to thepany to take care of some business. Alright, hurry up and go. Lin Shanchu quickly got into her car without any hesitation after finished speaking. Great, she could finally leave the hospital and go home! Huo Xunzhou was speechless. While buckling her seatbelt, Lin Shanchu poked her head out of the car window and shouted at He Xiang, He Xiang, hurry up. Were going home. Oh. He Xiang dashed over. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and saw Huo Xunzhou still standing there, staring at her. Why was he looking at her like that? Perhaps he was waiting for her to bid farewell? Lin Shanchu waved at him and said with a smile, Goodbye. Huo Xunzhou secretly stopped clenching his teeth and replied, Goodbye. He Xiang quickly got into the car. When she started the car, she asked Lin Shanchu curiously, Sister Lin, is there something urgent? No, I just want to leave this ce as soon as possible. He Xiang was speechless. Seeing that Lin Shanchus car had disappeared, Li MO said, Big brother, lets go. After a few seconds, Huo Xunzhou said softly, Li MO, I have a question. Huh? Li MO felt that this question was familiar. A couple is in a love bubble, but the woman gives the man the cold shoulder. What does that mean? Huo Xunzhou asked. Miss Lin doesnt seem to be cold to you. Li MO answered after thinking carefully. Did I say it was me and her? Huo Xunzhou asked as his face stiffened. Li MO shook his head decisively and asked excitedly, Are you two already a couple in a love bubble? Huo Xunzhou replied, What does it have to do with you? Li MO helplessly asked, Werent you the one who brought up this topic? Huo Xunzhou said, Head to thepany. Oh. Li MO quieted down. However, Li MO did not stay quiet for long. After getting into the car, Li MO mustered the courage courage and asked again, When did you confess to each other? Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly, looking like he was trying to say, What are you talking about? You guys didnt confess to each other? Li MO asked puzzledly. Huo Xunzhous frown deepened as he replied, We understand each others feelings. Is there a need to say it loud? Li MO said, How will Miss Lin know your feelings if you dont say it? Huo Xunzhou was lost in thought, apparently considering Li Mots words. Li MO was a little carried away. He felt that he was a master of love. Li MO continued, Besides, Miss Lin never said she likes you. How can you be sure of her feelings? Huo Xunzhou did not like hearing those words. He shouted expressionlessly, Drive the car! Li MO replied, Oh. He had touched a sore spot with Huo Xunzhou, so he got angry. On the way back, He Xiang turned to look at Lin Shanchu from time to time, as if she had something to say but did not know how to open her mouth. Lin Shanchu was worried for her. If you have something to say, say it. Sister Lin, you and Teacher Huo He Xiang stammered. Lin Shanchu interrupted her, Which Teacher Huo? Teacher Huo Xunzhou. Whats wrong with him? You and him Are you in that kind of rtionship? Lin Shanchu began to consider this question seriously. She had molested Huo Xunzhou more than once in order to prolong her life. Huo Xunzhou kept saying that she was irresponsible. Now that she had kissed and hugged him, it did not seem right for her to go back on her word. In the end, she came to a conclusion and said, I guess so. He Xiang widened her eyes in disbelief. After a while, she seemed to have finally epted this matter and cried out, Oh. Lin Shanchu saw her unhappy expression and asked, Do you like Huo Xunzhou? No, no, no. He Xiang hurriedly denied, I thought you liked Teacher Alec. Lin Shanchu suddenly realized the fact and asked, You ship both of us? He Xiang nodded pitifully. Even though she was a fan of Huo Xunzhou, Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng had a lot of interactions recently. Likeizens, she secretly shipped ChuSheng pairing. And now, ChuSheng pairing that she shipped was miserable! Even though Lin Shanchu had never been a shipper, she could understand the feelings of shippers. However, she could not possibly get together with Huo Chaosheng just tofort He Xiang, right? Huo Chaosheng was mentally unstable. If he was in a bad mood, he would fight and kill someone. Hence, it was quite risky to be with him. Lin Shanchu chose a simpler and more direct way tofort her. Ill give you a raise. ..Theres no need. He Xiang sighed. She felt that she could even answer the post on the forum titled How does it feel to have a domineering boss?. At the mention of money, Lin Shanchu remembered that she had to go to Lu Corporation to audit the ounts. She had to hire awyer to apany her. Chu Gushen was very good at economic cases. She wondered if he had time recently. Lin Shanchu found Chu Gushens number in her contact list. Before she could dial it, Qi Cheng called her. Qi Cheng must have called her for something important. Brother Qi? Lin Shanchu answered the call immediately. On the other end of the phone, Qi Chengs tone was serious. Hurry up and log into Weibo.. Lu Shiyuan posted an apology letter on Weibo! Chapter 308 - 308: My Request Is Very Simple with Only Two Words Chapter 308: My Request Is Very Simple with Only Two Words Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Qi Cheng reminded Lin Shanchu and said that he was on the way to her house before hanging up the phone. Lin Shanchu immediately logged into Weibo. The hastag #LuShiyuanApologyLetter was trending. Lin Shanchu tapped on the trending hastag. The pinned trending topic was Lu Shiyuans apology letter. It was a very long apology letter. It was densely packed with too many words. Lin Shanchu only nced at the opening line To Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan at the end before checking thements section. [There are too manv words. Im toozv to look at them. Can anvone summarize it?] [TL;DR: Lin Shanchu, sorry, I was wrong.] [Ive finished reading it. Its well written. Lu Shiyuan should pay more for the public rtions officer who wrote the apology letter.] [If an apology is useful, why do we need the police?] [It seems that Lu Corporations stock is going to hit the lower circuit limit again today. The disgusting man is starting to be scared, so hes apologizing for the sake of money.] [After reading through thements, I realized that I was too naive. A capitalist like Lu Shiyuan will certainly put interests first. Indeed, its impossible for him to apologize sincerely.] No one spoke up for Lu Shiyuan in thements section. Lin Shanchu left thements section with satisfaction. However, a public apology was indeed not Lu Shiyuans style. The car had entered the parking garage of the residential area. He Xiangs phone rang right after she parked the car. Lin Shanchu turned on WeChat and was about to text Qi Cheng, but she heard He Xiang say surprisedly, What? Why do they want to postpone it? She turned to look at He Xiang. It was unknown what the person on the other end of the phone said, but He Xiang did not look well after listening for a while. She hung up the phone after she said, Got it. What happened? Lin Shanchu asked. He Xiang held her phone and said frustratedly, Thevvyer called to say that Tang Qidai is sick and hospitalized, so the court hearing will be postponed. What illness? When she met Tang Qidai earlier, she looked quite healthy, but she was a little mentally unstable. He Xiang shook her head and replied, He didnt say, but I heard that shes seriously ill and almost died. Lin Shanchu remembered that she saw Lu Shiyuan when she came out of the detention center on that day. Lin Shanchu turned on Weibo again and tapped on the apology letter. The time it took for Lin Shanchu to walk from the parking garage to her house was enough for her to finish reading the apology letter. Lu Shiyuan had always been conceited. No matter what, he always had a high and mighty attitude. All these years, Lin Shanchu had never seen him sincerely apologize to anyone, not to mention a public apology. More importantly, Lu Shiyuan humbled himself by posting the apology letter, appearing to be full of sincerity. Even if he hired a public rtions officer to write an apology letter on his behalf, with Lu Shiyuans character, he would never humble himself so much. In addition, Lu Shiyuan already knew that she was the one who plotted the affair between him and Xia Jinmeng. He should be itching to skin her alive now. The appearance of this apology letter was not difficult to guess what happened. Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan had probablyid their cards on the table. Tang Qidai had lied to Lu Shiyuan for so many years. Fueled by rage, he must have wanted to kill Tang Qidai on the spot. Once Lu Shiyuans temper got the best of him, it was possible for him toy a hand on her in front of the police. It also exined why Tang Qidais sudden hospitalization dyed He Xiangs case. He Xiang had also finished reading the apology letter. Sister Lin, this public rtions writing is quite good. Lin Shanchu leanedzily on the sofa, propping up her head with one hand. Lu Shivuan wrote it himself. Huh? He Xiangs eyes widened. The doorbell suddenly rang. He Xiang quickly went to open the door. It was Qi Cheng. Have you read Lu Shiyuans public apology letter? Qi Cheng asked as soon as he entered the house. I did. He Xiang nced at Lin Shanchu and said mysteriously, Sister Lin said that Lu Shiyuan wrote it himself. Its probably written by Lu Shiyuan. Qi Cheng had worked in Lu Corporation for so many years and had some understanding of Lu Shiyuans personality, but he definitely did not know Lu Shiyuan as well as Lin Shanchu did. Since Lin Shanchu said that Lu Shiyuan wrote the apology letter, it was definitely true. He Xiang looked surprised. She could not believe that Lu Shiyuan had personally written an apology letter. Now that Lu Shiyuan has done this, this matter will never end. Qi Cheng sat down opposite Lin Shanchu and said, If this matter doesnt end quickly, it wont be easy for you to start your next job. The people inside the entertainment industry lovedughing stocks, whereas the people outside the industry loved gossips. For a long time, this matter would definitely be brought up again and again. Its just a small matter. Lin Shanchu chuckled. She was only one step away from ruining Lu Shiyuan. Nothing else was important. Qi Cheng looked up at her nomittally. Lin Shanchu slowly exined her next n, Ill take awyer to Lu Corporation to audit the ounts in the afternoon. Its good to audit the ounts! Qi Cheng agreed. Such a clear-cut action is indirectly indicating that you dont ept Lu Shiyuans apology. Ill help you contact awyer now! I want to hire Chu Gushen, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. Qi Cheng paused and his smile gradually disappeared. Then, he said seriously, I see that youve been quite free recently. Since youre free anyway, you should go and hire awyer yourself. Although he had some connections in the entertainment industry, Chu Gushen was an outsider and a well-knownwyer. He could not guarantee that he could hire Chu Gushen. If he failed to hire Chu Gushen, wouldnt he lose face? Lin Shanchu smiled calmly as she said, Youre right. Lin Shanchu immediately contacted Chu Gushen. Miss Lin. Chu Gushen had previously helped Lin Shanchu to have her will verified, so it was natural that he had her number. Lawyer Chu, are you free this afternoon? Id like to ask your favor and go somewhere with me. Chu Gushen was quiet for a moment. He was probably checking his schedule. Ill be free after 2:00 p.m. Lawyer Chu, Id like you to apany me to Lu Corporation after 2:00 p.m. Miss Lin, no problem. After the call ended, Qi Cheng immediately came over and asked, Did Chu Gushen agree? Yes. Thats good. Qi Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Shanchu did not expect Chu Gushen to agree so readily. She was also an old client of Chu Gushen. However, Chu Gushen was famous and busy. All the cases he took on were big cases. To her surprise, he agreed to a small matter like an ounting audit. Lin Shanchu and Chu Gushen agreed to meet at the entrance of Lu Corporation. When Chu Gushen saw Lin Shanchus car, he immediately got out of the car and walked over. Lin Shanchu opened the car door and was about to get out, but Chu Gushen blocked her way and said, Lets chat for a while before going up. Hmm? Out of habit, Chu Gushen pushed his silver-rimmed sses up and continued, I need to understand my clients request. My request is very simple with only two words, Lin Shanchu said with augh. Chu Gushen said, Pray tell, Miss Lin. Lin Shanchu replied, Make money. Speechless, Chu Gushens expression froze for a moment before he said, I understand.. Chapter 309 - 309: Kneel Down and Apologize to Me Chapter 309: Kneel Down and Apologize to Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After entering Lu Corporation building, Lin Shanchu briefly exined her situation to Chu Gushen while going up in the elevator. Lu Corporation has been listed for years and dividends were distributed ten times, but I never obtain a single cent. Now, I want to get back all the money. Chu Gushen pondered for a moment before he said, Lu Corporation is a listedpany. They have to publish their financial statements every quarter. Naturally, there wont be any problems with the ounts. I know. Lin Shanchu nodded seriously and said, What I want to audit is not thepanys ounts. Miss Lin, do you mean Chu Gushen asked tentatively. Whoever took my money, Ill audit their ount, Lin Shanchu said gently. Other than Lu Shiyuan, who else could have taken Lin Shanchus money? Moreover, Chu Gushen was also invited to the wedding on that day. When Chu Gushen received the invitation, he felt that this wedding was a little unusual. It was because Lu Shiyuans name was not on Lin Shanchus official will that he prepared. Chu Gushen was tactful and did not ask much about it. Instead, he continued to ask questions to understand the situation. Miss Lin, have you signed the power of attorney with anyone else? No, I havent. Lu Shiyuan had never treated her as a person. In his eyes, her money was his. How could she sign such a document officially? A trace of surprise shed across Chu Gushens eyes. Although Lu Shiyuans reputation had been ruined, he was still a businessman. It was impossible for him to not have any legal awareness. The elevator reached the designated floor and the door opened automatically with a ding. Before Lin Shanchu stepped out of the elevator, she turned to Chu Gushen and asked, Lawyer Chu, do you have any more questions? No more, said Lawyer Chu seriously. It was more than enough. Lin Shanchu did not sign any contract with Lu Shiyuan. In addition, the ounts were open for audit. Lin Shanchu could sue him for the crime of misappropriation of property. At that time, not only would Lu Shiyuan have to return all his assets, but he might even face jail time. Lin Shanchu first took Chu Gushen to the finance department to audit the shareholders dividend ounts. After Lu Corporation became listed, dividends were distributed for ten times. Miss Lin, the total amount of dividends for your share will be 300 million yuan. He Xiang, who was standing behind Lin Shanchu, gasped in shock and muttered, So much money. Lin Shanchu smiled and turned to look at her. Im going to give you a raise. Sister Lin, I think you should get the money back first before you talk about raising my sry. He Xiang suspected that Lin Shanchu was the reincarnation of the Child Of Wealth. Before she had gotten her money back, she was already thinking about how to spend it. Thats true. Lets get back the money first, Lin Shanchu waved the small leather bag in her hand before she walked out of the elevator first. Lin Shanchu looked so happy. After all, it was 300 million yuan. Who wouldnt be happy? He Xiang was happy for her. Lu Shiyuans office was on a separate floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, Lin Shanchu looked up and saw Lu Shiyuan standing outside. His face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot and even the shirt he was wearing was wrinkled. Where was the arrogance he used to have? The moment Lu Shiyuan saw Lin Shanchu, his bloodshot eyes lit up. Shanshan, youre here. He revealed a fawning smile, but his tone was full of caution. Lin Shanchu had never seen Lu Shiyuan in this state. In the past, she spoke humbly to Lu Shiyuan, but now Lu Shiyuan was doing it. She felt that it was a new experience, so she stared at Lu Shiyuan carefully. However, she soon felt annoyed. It turned out that she used to be so lowly and pathetic. Lets talk in your office. Lin Shanchu sneered. It was tiring to wearing high heels, so she had to sit for a while. Right after Lin Shanchu sat down in Lu Shiyuans office, he came over and asked her eagerly, Do you want some drinks? However, He Xiang stopped him before he could get close to Lin Shanchu. President Lu, you have nothing to do with Sister Lin anymore. To avoid misunderstanding, please maintain a normal social distance from Sister Lin. Lu Shiyuan nced at He Xiang unhappily. Then, he walked over to Lin Shanchu and sat down. Shanshan, you Talk to mywyer. Lin Shanchu interrupted him. Chu Gushen took out the dividend report that he had calcted and handed it to Lu Shiyuan. Mr. Lu, my client, Miss Lin Shanchu This is a matter between me and Shanshan, Lu Shiyuan interrupted Chu Gushen impatiently. I dont talk about it with outsiders. Chu Gushen, who had always been begged to go to court, did not show any displeasure when Lu Shiyuan interrupted his conversation without showing him any respect. Instead, he still looked gentlemanly and refined. Miss Lin, President Lu said that he doesnt want to talk to me. He politely turned around and conveyed Lu Shiyuans words just now to Lin Shanchu. Chu Gushen was very restrained, but still Lin Shanchu could hear a trace of anger in his tone. People who did great things were all like this, not showing their emotions. Everyone was a mortal, so it was normal for them to have emotions. But who did Lu Shiyuan think he was? How could he disrespect thewyer she specially hired? You want to talk to me? Lin Shanchu gently raised her eyes and nced at Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan immediately straightened his body and said, Shanshan, that b*tch Tang Qidai has already confessed everything. I know that it was all my fault in the past. Ill agree to whatever you say now. Chu Gushen leaned back on the sofa as if he was watching a show. He was not close to Lin Shanchu, but judging from the will, he could vaguely infer that Lin Shanchu was ady who dared to do anything. Was this the first day Lu Shiyuan met her? He even dared to say something like Ill agree to whatever you say. Lin Shanchu became excited upon hearing his words. Then, she said happily, Then, kneel down and apologize to me. Chu Gushen silently pushed up his sses. Lin Shanchu was exactly like what that girl had described. Lin Shanchu never disappointed anyone. Lu Shiyuan instantly grimaced. Lin Shanchus face also darkened. Then, she stood up and picked up the ounting report that Chu Gushen had ced aside, throwing it fiercely at Lu Shiyuans face. Dont shoot your mouth off if you cant keep your word! 300 million yuan is enough for me to file a case. Just wait for the courts summons! Lin Shanchu snorted and strode away in her high heels. He Xiang and Qi Cheng quickly followed her. Chu Gushen stayed where he was and slowly said to Lu Shiyuan, Mr. Lu, dont worry. Im a professionalwyer. Ill collect evidence as soon as possible and get Miss Lin to call the police to file a case. It will not drag too long and waste your time. After Chu Gushen finished speaking, he stood up and adjusted his tie before leaving elegantly. After Lin Shanchu and the others left, the room immediately became empty. Lu Shiyuan slowly squatted on the ground and picked up the sheets of the ounting report that was scattered on the ground one by one.. Chapter 310 - 310: I Will Get Lost! I Have Always Wanted to Quit! Chapter 310: I Will Get Lost! I Have Always Wanted to Quit! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Chu Gushen was indeed professional. All mary items were listed clearly on the ounting report. A total of dividend of 300 million yuan that Lin Shanchu deserved was also clearly stated on it. Lu Shiyuan did not get up after reading the ounting report. He was still squatting on the ground without moving an inch. After learning the truth from Tang Qidai, he no longer med Lin Shanchu. He really wanted to do something topensate Lin Shanchu. If she wanted money, she could just say so. Even if it was 3 billion yuan, he would think of a way to get it for her, not to mention 300 million yuan. However, the moment she opened her mouth, she was aggressive and even wanted to humiliate him in public. How did she be like this? President Lu? Zhou Yan pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Lu Shiyuan squatting on the ground in a daze, he immediately walked over and helped him up from the ground. President Lu, are you okay? Lu Shiyuans reaction was slow. After he turned his head to look at Zhou Yan, he sat on the sofa. Zhou Yan went out to handle some matters. When he returned to thepany, he heard that Lin Shanchu hade to Lu Corporation. Therefore, he hurriedly went to Lu Shiyuans office to check on the situation. He noticed the ounting report in Lu Shiyuans hand. This is Lu Shiyuan threw the stack of reports on the coffee table. When Zhou Yan turned his head and took a look, his expression changed drastically. Lin Shanchu was here? Lu Shiyuan frowned slightly as he said, Shanshan is my fiance. You should respect her. Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and replied, Understood. After meeting Tang Qidai yesterday, Lu Shiyuan had been acting weird and staying in the office. He did not go home, nor did he eat. Hence, Zhou Yan did not know what he was thinking. Even his attitude towards Lin Shanchu had changed drastically. What is Miss Lin doing with these things? Zhou Yan asked as his gazended on those reports again. Lu Shiyuans expression suddenly softened. Shanshan is just angry that I didnt tell her before I took her money for investment. Ill return the money to her. Zhou Yan and Lin Shanchu had dealt with each other quite a few times, so his intuition told him that the whole matter was not as simple as Lu Shiyuan had said. President Lu, are you sure that Miss Lin only wants money and nothing else? Anyone withmon sense would know that as long as Lu Shiyuan did not sign the relevant entrustment agreement with Lin Shanchu, she could use these reports to sue him for misappropriation of property. Shanshan is gentle and soft-hearted. At most, she will throw a tantrum. She has been like this since she was young. Lu Shiyuan paused slightly and smiled before he continued, I wont take what she said to heart. Apart from the considerable sry, Zhou Yan had worked for Lu Shiyuan for so many years because he admired Lu Shiyuan very much. Lu Shiyuans methods and schemes were outstanding in the entire industry of Xu City. Even though Lu Shiyuan was unpredictable and grumpy, Zhou Yan did not think there was anything wrong with him. It was not a big deal for a capable person to have a bad personality. When he encountered Lu Shiyuan throwing a tantrum or when he had different opinions, Zhou Yan would be used to enduring it. However, he felt unusually irritated and angry today for some reason. President Lu, wake up! Is there anything that Lin Shanchu cant do? Whether you give her the money or not, she will definitely sue you! Zhou Yan practically shouted those words. When he finished speaking, he was stunned. Not only did he refute Lu Shiyuans words, but he also shouted at Lu Shiyuan. President Lu Zhou Yan subconsciously wanted to apologize to Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan picked up the ashtray on the table and threw it at him. I wont allow anyone to nder Shanshan! When Zhou Yan came to his senses, he realized that he had dodged the ashtray that Lu Shiyuan threw over. How dare you dodge it? Lu Shiyuan said with a sinister expression. Annoyed, Zhou Yan sneered, Since youre still so stubborn, just wait to receive the courts summons! Mark my words! Lin Shanchu will definitely sue you! Lu Shiyuan widened his eyes in disbelief. To his surprise, he dared not believe that Zhou Yan, who was respectful and obedient to him, had the audacity to speak to him like this! Do you want to quit? Lu Shiyuan pointed at the door and shouted, If you want to quit, then get lost! Get lost now! I will get lost! I have always wanted to quit! Zhou Yan took off his work badge and threw it right at Lu Shiyuans face. You Lu Shiyuan was stunned and bereft of speech due to rage. Zhou Yan felt extremely refreshed. Then, he loosened his tie and continued to scold Lu Shiyuan. Who do you think is willing to serve you, a hot-tempered maniac who beats and scolds people at the drop of a hat! Didnt your mother teach you manners and respect? Oh, I remember now. Your mother died a long time ago! Your father would rather be a monk than care about you! And that mistress who cant be famous no matter how much you try to promote her, shes still crying in prison! Lu Shiyuans entire body trembled in anger. After that,hHe got up and punched Zhou Yan hard in the face. Zhou Yan staggered from the punch, feeling a little afraid. He was worried that he would not be able to defeat Lu Shiyuan. However, on second thought, Lu Shiyuan was the one who made the first move. What was he afraid of? If he lost, he could just learn from Lin Shanchu and let Lu Shiyuan receive a court summons! Zhou Yan hit back at Lu Shiyuan. How dare you fight back? Lu Shiyuan said gloomily. Its not against thew to fight back! Zhou Yan regretted that he had never fought back in the past. Lu Shiyuan had been staying in thepany for the past two days. He did not have a good rest and eat well, so it was natural that his stamina was not good. Zhou Yan subdued Lu Shiyuan after a brief while. Zhou Yan felt surprised. Zhou Yan did not win easily and his face was covered in bruises. He stood up shakily from the ground and looked back at Lu Shiyuan before he left. Right, since weve worked together for so many years, Ill remind you onest time. Lin Shanchu is no longer your fiance. Even a dog on the street would choose Huo Chaosheng If it had to choose between you and Huo Chaosheng, let alone Lin Shanchu. Hahahaha Zhou Yan looked at Lu Shiyuans grimace andughed heartily, but soon, he stoppedughing. He remembered that Lin Shanchu had called him Lu Shiyuans dog. He was furious at that time. Now that he thought about it, he had been obedient to Lu Shiyuan all these years. If he was not a dog, what was he? Even dogs knew how to avoid violent maniacs and only wagged their tails at those who were good to them, but he had tolerated this hot-tempered maniac for so many years! Zhou Yan waspletely unable to smile anymore. As he walked out, he thought about why he was more obedient than a dog in front of Lu Shiyuan in the past. However, after thinking for a long time, he still could not figure out the reason. After Lin Shanchu left Lu Corporation, she said to Chu Gushen, Just sue him. Alright, Ill try my best! Chu Gushen replied with a serious expression. He did not say anything unnecessary and gave off a very reliable feeling. Sorry for the trouble. Its not troublesome to do things for money. It was easy to deal with smart and capable people. Lin Shanchu went home happily. The next day, she received a call from Chu Gushen before dawn. Ive done writing the indictment. Lin Shanchu was puzzled Wasnt it a little too fast? Chapter 311 - 311: The Awkward One Was Not Her, But Huo Xunzhou Chapter 311: The Awkward One Was Not Her, But Huo Xunzhou Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and looked at the time. It was 5:00 a.m. It was early autumn and the days were getting shorter. The sky outside the window was still dark. Lin Shanchu couldnt help but yawn. However, when she thought that she was on the phone with someone, she quickly held the phone away and covered it. Lin Shanchu scratched her head sleepily, but her voice sounded awake. To be frank, Miss Lin, I havent received such a big case worth 300 million yuan in a month, so I was so excited that I couldnt sleep. Ive done writing the indictment overnight. Chu Gushen still sounded serious and steady. A month sounded so long like ten years to him. Lin Shanchu was speechless for a moment. An economicwyer like Chu Gushen was often approached by listedpanies and rich people. A case that was 300 million yuan was nothing to him. He was not excited because of the case. He was so enthusiastic because he wanted to send Lu Shiyuan to jail. After all, Lu Shiyuan was disrespectful towards him yesterday. A person like Chu Gushen might look gentlemanly and refined, but once someone offended him, he would definitely think of a way to ruin them. It was human nature to hold grudges. Huo Xunzhou was like this, and so was Chu Gushen. Yes, she was the same. Lin Shanchu got up after the phone call with Chu Gushen. She woke up earlier than usual today, so He Xiang had not woken up to make breakfast. She did not call He Xiang. Instead, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Lin Shanchu and Chu Gushen had not signed the entrustment agreement yet. Chu Gushen said that he woulde overter, so Lin Shanchu made a quick western breakfast. As soon as breakfast was ready, He Xiang got up. Sister Lin, did you have insomnia against night? He Xiang looked at the time and confirmed that it was only 6:00 a.m. No, I didnt. Lin Shanchu served breakfast on the table and said, Wash up ande down for breakfast. Lawyer Chu will being overter. Oh! He Xiang immediately ran to the bedroom. Five minutester, He Xiang came out after washing up and changing her clothes. The doorbell rang as soon as the two of them sat down at the dining table. Ill open the door! He Xiang stood up and walked towards the door. Lin Shanchu thought about it and followed He Xiang. The visitor was indeed Chu Gushen. He was holding a cup of coffee in his left hand and a document bag in his right. He politely nodded at Lin Shanchu and said, Miss Lin. Pleasee in, Lawyer Chu, Lin Shanchu said as she smiled at him. The moment Chu Gushen entered the house, he smelled the fragrance of some kind of food. Miss Lin, are you having breakfast? Lin Shanchu Imew that Chu Gushen was not the kind of person who would casually eat breakfast at someone elses house, but out of politeness, she asked, I was just about to eat breakfast. Lawyer Chu, have you eaten? Unexpectedly, Chu Gushen answered seriously, No, I havent. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She had a feeling that Chu Gushen was different from when he helped her write the will, but she could not tell exactly what was different. After Chu Gushen finished speaking, he looked at her calmly, waiting for her to say, Lets eat together. Since the atmosphere had reached this point, Lin Shanchu could only ask him to have breakfast together. Lawyer Chu, if you dont mind, lets eat together I dont mind. Lin Shanchu looked at He Xiang with a confused expression and took Chu Gushen to the dining room. Chu Gushen politely waited for Lin Shanchu and He Xiang to sit down before he picked up the fork and started eating. After taking a bite slowly, he praised, Miss Lin, your assistants cooking is really good. Sister Lin made breakfast today, He Xiang quickly exined. Miss Lin, I didnt expect your cooking skills to be so good. Chu Gushen was stunned. Sister Lins specialty is home-cooked food. Its delicious, He Xiangyu said proudly. Ahem, ahem! Lin Shanchu cleared her throat suggestively. He Xiang understood her intention and immediately quieted down. At this moment, Chu Gushen took out his phone and took a photo. When he took the photo, he carefully looked for a few angles. After taking the photo, he fiddled with his phone for a while. Lin Shanchu suspected that Chu Gushen was posting the photo to his WeChat Moments, but she was too embarrassed to ask him. After breakfast, Chu Gushen took out the entrustment agreement for Lin Shanchu to sign. Then, he briefly talked to her about the next steps. Miss Lin, after the court has approved the case and set a date for the trial, you can leave everything to me as an agent. The final result will definitely satisfy you. Lawyer Chu, your strength is obvious to all. Its natural that I feel at ease the most by leaving this matter to you. Lin Shanchu picked up her phone and said with a smile, Lets add each other on WeChat. Itll be easier for us to contact each otherter. Alright. Chu Gushen took out his phone. Miss Lin, Ill scan your QR code. After adding him on WeChat, Lin Shanchu put down her phone and saw Chu Gushen off. As soon as the door closed, He Xiang ran over with Lin Shanchus phone in her hand, looking very eager. Sister Lin, look at Lavvyer Chus WeChat Moments. I saw him take a photo during breakfast just now. I think he might have posted it on his WeChat Moments! Lin Shanchu added Chu Gushen on WeChat because she wanted to see his Moments. As they expected, Chu Gushen posted the photo on his WeChat Moments. Chu Gushen: [The client this time is beautiful and kind. She even treated me to breakfast. [Image]] He Xiang sighed, Lawyer Chu looked so serious, but he actually posted such a post on WeChat Moments. He looks kinda of cute. Cute? Lin Shanchu patted He Xiang on the shoulder and said, A mans heart is iprehensible. Dont judge a book by its cover. He Xiang replied, Oh. Lin Shanchu exited Chu Gushens Moments and noticed that there was a new notification in her Moments. She was instantly stunned after tapping on it and taking a look. Huo Xunzhoumented on Chu Gushens post. Huo Xunzhou: [You just ate it when someone told you to?] Thisment seemed to be filled with inexplicable anger. Lin Shanchu refreshed and saw Chu Gushen replying to Huo Xunzhou. Chu Gushen replied to Huo Xunzhou: [Why do you care?] Huo Xunzhou replied to Chu Gushen: [Heh.] Chu Gushen replied to Huo Xunzhou: [I didnt post it to show you.] Huo Xunzhou did not reply after that. Lin Shanchu scrolled up and read their conversation again. These two grown men quarreled like primary school students in thements section. They really treated the mutual friends on the list as outsiders. Lin Shanchu gave Chu Gushens post a like with ill intentions. She really loved the feature where mutual friends would be notified when the other party liked andmented on their Moments. She just liked it. After all, the awkward one was not her, but Huo Xunzhou. Soon, a new message notification appeared on WeChat. It was a message from Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou: [Youre up so early?] Lin Shanchu: [Yeah, I just finished talking to thewyer about the case after breakfast. Im scrolling through my Moments.] There was no feeback from Huo Xunzhous end. Lin Shanchu sent another message: [WeChat Moments is also wonderful today..] Chapter 312 - 312: Have You Ever Thought About Giving Me a Status? Chapter 312: Have You Ever Thought About Giving Me a Status? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Huo Xunzhou saw Lin Shanchus message, he locked his phone with a stiff expression. He had considered that Lin Shanchu might have added Chu Gushen as a friend on WeChat. However, he was still a little unconvinced. He had never eaten breakfast at Lin Shanchus house before, but Chu Gushen did not stand on ceremony at all. After pondering for a moment, Huo Xunzhou turned on his phone and replied to Lin Shanchus message. Huo Xunzhou: [Did your conversation with Chu Gushen go well?] Lin Shanchu: [It went well. Thank you.] She thought about it carefully and realized that Huo Xunzhou and Chu Gushen were acquainted. He must have made a request to Chu Gushen, which was why Chu Gushen epted her case so easily. Huo Xunzhou: [It wasnt me.] Lin Shanchu: Huo Xunzhou: [Its really not me.] He had guessed that Lin Shanchu would go to Lu Corporation to look for Lu Shiyuan, but he did not expect it to be so soon. Lin Shanchu was confused. In that case, why was Chu Gushen so eager to take on her case? Huo Xunzhou immediately called Chu Gushen. The call went through quickly. Chu Gushen said, Im driving. Just cut to the chase. Huo Xunzhou asked, Why are you so enthusiastic in epting Lin Shanchus case? Chu Gushen replied, Why shouldnt I ept a big case worth 300 million yuan Huo Xunzhou sneered. After Chu Gushen fell silent for a moment, he asked irritatedly, Why are you so nosy today Chu Gushen quickly came to his senses and asked, Whats your rtionship with Lin Shanchu? The kind of rtionship you think, Huo Xunzhou said in a deep voice. I knew it! Chu Gushen snorted impatiently, Youre making it seem like someone is trying to snatch a woman from you, am I right? Chu Gushens words sounded somewhat boastful. Huo Xunzhou pondered for a moment and said slowly, Oh, your girlfriend is a fan of Lin Shanchu. Shes not my girlfriend yet, Chu Gushen denied it quickly. Oh, she doesnt like you, so you hurriedly took on her idols case just to have amon topic to talk about with her. Huo Xunzhou mercilessly analyzed Chu Gushens mental journey. Chu Gu felt as if a knife had been twisted in his heart. He took a deep breath and sneered, You make it sound like Lin Shanchu likes you. Doesnt she like your younger brother? Oh, hes called Huo Chaosheng! Huo Xunzhou was speechless. He was furious, but he seemed unable to refute Chu Gushen. Chu Gushen, who thought he had the upper hand, mocked Huo Xunzhou mercilessly. Its okay. They havent confirmed their rtionship, nor have they gotten married. You still have a chance. When Lin Shanchu and I get married, you will be the first one to receive an invitation. Huo Xunzhou sounded like he was gritting his teeth. Chu Gushen replied, Ill look forward to it, and Ill definitely prepare avish wedding gift for you. Huo Xunzhou said, Ill remember your words. After the case was filed, Lin Shanchu contacted Wen Huan. After the incident, Wen Huan posted a photo of Lin Shanchu taking avvyer to Lu Corporation and published an article about Lin Shanchu suing Lu Shiyuan for misappropriating her property. The topic #LuShiyuanMisappropriatedLinShanchusPropertyWorthHundredsofMillions topped the trending list. Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu had been trending every day during this period of time. Furthermore, it was different every day. Theizens who loved gossips were excited. Most of theizensmented that Lin Shanchu did a good job, but a few peoplemented that Lin Shanchu was ruthless. [Lin Shanchu is really clear-headed.] [Women should hold money in their hands as insurance!] [After all, hes also her ex-fianc who grew up together with her. Is there a need to go to the extent of going to court?] [Lin Shanchu is so cruel.] [Are the saints in thements section okay? Lu Shiyuan misappropriated Lin Shanchus dividends for his own use, so she had to tutor others to earn money to support herself since high school. Someone actually sympathized with such a scumbag.] [Those saints whomented Lin Shanchu being cruel should donate all their money!] [You dont know the pain unless you are in her shoes!] [Although some peoplemented that Lin Shanchu doesntck money and doesnt need others to feel sorry for her, her past experiences are indeed heartbreaking. ] Lin Shan was born and raised in Xu City and she had been outstanding in her studies since she was young- Her former teachers and ssmates had a deep impression of her. Netizens and media reporters could easily dig out her past. When He Xiang saw the posts about Lin Shanchus past, she was teary-eyed and ran over to hug her. Sister Lin, everything is fine now. Everything is fine now. Boo-hoo Speechless, Lin Shanchu watched helplessly as He Xiang wiped the tears from her nose onto her body. She wanted to break free, but she couldnt. Yes, yes, yes. Youre right. Everything is fine, so dont cry. Sister Lin, youre so tough and strong. Boo-hoo He Xiang hugged her even tighter. Lin Shan looked up at the ceiling helplessly and gave up resisting. Perhaps it was human nature to forget the pain after the scar healed. She looked at the information about her past that had been exposed on the Inte. Not only did she not feel sad, she even had an unreal feeling that it had nothing to do with her. In the end, it was Huo Xunzhous call that saved her. Dinner? Alright, Ille down right away. He Xiang raised her head in confusion and asked, Who was it? Teacher Huo. Lin Shanchu smiled and pushed her away. Be good at home and dont run around. I have to change my clothes and put on makeup before going out for a date. Oh. He Xiang sniffed and nodded. Lin Shanchu packed up and went out, only to see Huo Xunzhous car. Li MO got out of the car and opened the door for her. He hesitated for a moment whether he should call her sister-inw or Miss Lin. Miss Lin. Thank you. Lin Shanchu smiled as she got into the car. You look happy, dont you? Huo Xunzhou looked at her from the side. Yeah. He Xiang was quite a crybaby. If Huo Xunzhou had not asked her out for dinner, she did not know how long He Xiang would have cried. Huo Xunzhous eyebrows rxed when he heard her answer. It was obvious that he was in a better mood. Huo Xunzhou made a reservation at Yong Shui Pavilion. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou went to eat dinner, whereas Li MO took Huo Xunzhous membership card to have fun at the entertainment hall. After Lin Shanchu ordered dishes, she looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou staring at her with a serious expression. Lin Shanchus heart skipped a beat. Huo Xunzhou was not going to tell her about the results of the check-up, was In fact, the results of the check-up had long been released, but she had not asked about it. Lin Shanchu slowly clenched her fists, not daring to make a sound. The two of them looked at each other for a while before Huo Xunzhou asked casually, Have you thought about the official announcement? Lin Shanchu instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Not yet. Huo Xunzhou should know better than her that now was not the time for an official announcement. Then Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment and asked her seriously, Have you ever thought of giving me a status? Pfff! Cough, cough! Lin Shanchu, who was drinking water, choked on Huo Xunzhous words. Huo Xunzhou quickly handed her a tissue and got up to pat her back.. Chapter 313 - 313: She Was Indeed Notorious for Her Misdeeds Chapter 313: She Was Indeed Notorious for Her Misdeeds Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu never expected to hear such words from Huo Xunzhou, especially when he spoke so seriously. Lin Shanchu helplessly asked, Am I such an irresponsible person in your eyes? Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrows, revealing an intriguing smile. He did not say anything usatory. However, he looked at her as if he was looking at a heartless woman. Lin Shanchu reflected on what she had done to Huo Xunzhou. When she kissed Huo Xunzhou to extend her life, it was true that she did not want to take responsibility and just wanted to be a freeloader. It was her fault. Later. she thought that she did not want to hold Huo Xunzhou back because her days were numbered. Hence, she did say a lot of hurtful things to him. Thinking of this She was indeed notorious for her misdeeds. Lin Shanchu sat up straight and spoke slowly after careful consideration. I dont think its a good time for an official announcement, but we can tell our friends about our rtionship first. What do you think? After she finished speaking, she looked up at Huo Xunzhous expression. That works too. Huo Xunzhou looked like he was going to settle for second best, making Lin Shanchu feel like she had mistreated him. Theres no time like the present. How about we treat them to dinner tonight? Although Huo Xunzhou sounded like he was asking her, he already picked up his phone and was about to make a call. There was nothing wrong with his words. She had nothing else to do tonight anyway. Therefore, Lin Shanchu nodded. Alright. Then, Lin Shanchu watched as Huo Xunzhou made a series of calls on his phone. He made phone calls to Nan Mu, Yun Wu and even Li Mo. When Huo Xunzhou made thest call, his tone was particrly boastful, but Lin Shanchu couldn not guess who it was. However, she did not ask further questions. After Huo Xunzhou finished the call, he looked at her with a smile and reminded her gently, Your turn. Lin Shanchu felt like she was being pushed to the edge. Huo Xunzhou and her circle of friends ovepped severely. Other than Qi Cheng and He Xiang, the only person Lin Shanchu needed to inform was Wen Huan. Wen Huan answered the call enthusiastically. When Lin Shanchu invited him to dinner in the evening, Wen Huan agreed without hesitation. She phoned Qi Cheng and He Xiang, but she could not get through. They were probably discussing something on the phone. When Lin Shanchu returned home after meal, she realized that there was no one at home. She called He Xiang. This time, He Xiang finally answered the call. Sister Lin? Where did you go? I just went out to buy something. Lin Shanchu vaguely felt that He Xiangs tone was a little off, so she asked, When are youing back? Ill be back soon. Okay, Ill wait for you at home. After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu called Qi Cheng. Brother Qi, lets have dinner together tonight. I have something important to tell you. Alright. Oh right, Brother Qi Is there anything else? Lin Shanchu wanted to ask if He Xiang had looked for him, but in the end, she bit her tongue. Its nothing. See you tonight. He Xiang returned home shortly afterwards. He Xiang bought a lot of things. Xiang had bought a lot of things that she did notck. Lin Shanchu rummaged through the fridge and said calmly, I havent eaten the yogurt I boughtst time, and theres still a lot of beef He Xiang was someone who had a subsistence lifestyle and had a lot of life experience. Every time she went shopping, she would buy whatever the housecked. So theres still more I forgot. He Xiang was a little annoyed. Lin Shanchu smiled. Its fine. If you hoard more, you can go out less. After packing up the things, He Xiang started cleaning. Curling up on the sofa, Lin Shanchu held the remote control to change the channel. WHen He Xiang came over to wipe the coffee table in front of Lin Shanchu for the third time, Lin Shanchu couldnt help but stop and size her up. He Xiang was focused on wiping the coffee table, as if she did not realize that she had wiped the coffee table twice. After she finished wiping the coffee table, she went to wipe the shelf next to her again. There was something wrong with He Xiang. She was absent-minded. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at He Xiang for a while. Only then did He Xiang sense her gaze and look up at her. Sister Lin, what did you say? Lin Shanchu clearly did not say anything just now. Lets go to Yong Shui Pavilion for dinner tonight. Lin Shanchu chuckled. He Xiang paused before she asked, Can I not go? Just go. Lin Shanchu advised, I have something important to discuss with Teacher Huo. He Xiang, who had been depressed for the entire afternoon, finally cheered up. Great! At night. When Lin Shanchu and He Xiang went to Yong Shui Pavilion, Nan Mu and the others already arrived. Yun Wu stood up and came over as soon as she saw Lin Shanchu. Shanshan! Yun Wu sat down beside Lin Shanchu andined to her softly, Third Brother suddenly called me to have dinner with him. I almost rejected him. He didnt even tell me that you would being. I would have called you if I had known earlier, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. Yun Wu asked, What do you mean? The door to the private room was pushed open again. The person who came in this time was Wen Huan. Its lively, isnt it? Wen Huan still had a camera hanging in front of his chest. It seemed that he had taken photos of some celebrity for scandals. He Xiang sat beside Qi Cheng and whispered something to him. Lin Shanchu smiled and waved at Wen Huan. Then, she reached out to support the chair beside her. Come quickly and sit. Wen Huan hugged his precious camera and sat down. Youve got something good to announce? You really understand me too well, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. What good news? Yun Wu asked as she leaned over. Lin Shanchu replied, Youll know when your Third Brotheres. Huo Xunzhou? Wen Huan asked. Seeing Lin Shanchus nod. Wen Huans face revealed a look of understanding. He then replied indifferently, Oh. Ever since Huo Xunzhou wormed information out of himst time, Wen Huan felt that the image of his idol had copsed and he was still a little unconvinced. Wen Huan carefully examined Lin Shanchu for a moment before asking softly, How have you been recently? Im pretty good. You look much better. Really? Lin Shanchu touched her face in surprise. At this moment, Yun Wu called out from the side, Third Brother! Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou being pushed in by Li Mo. Chu Gushen also came in with Huo Xunzhou. Lawyer Chu. It turned out that Huo Xunzhou made thest call to Chu Gushen in the afternoon. Miss Lin. Chu Gushens smile was a little forced, as if Huo Xunzhou had forced him toe over. Yun Wu stood up and gave up her seat to Huo Xunzhou. Are you close to Lawyer Chu? Lin Shanchu asked Huo Xunzhou in a low voice. Huo Xunzhou did notment. Instead, he turned to look at Chu Gushen and said, When we get married, he will be the first one to receive an invitation. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Why did he talk about marriage again? There was a moment of silence in the private room. You guys Nan Mu asked. Were dating, Huo Xunzhou said solemnly while holding Lin Shanchus hand.. Chapter 314 - 314: Settle Out of the Court Chapter 314: Settle Out of the Court Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The private room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Li MO pped his hands vigorously and shouted, Congrattions, Big Brother and Sister-inw! Then, the rest of the people pped their hands and congratted them perfunctorily. Congrattions! Nan Mu said as he thought his cash cow was finally taken by the wild guy. Congrattions! Yun Wu said as she thought Huo Xunzhou was devious and managed to trick Lin Shanchu into getting together with him. Congrattions! Wen Huan said while thinking that his idol whose reputation was ruined was really sinister! Congrattions! Chu Gushen said, thinking it was not a big deal that Huo Xunzhou had a girlfriend! Congrattions! Qi Cheng said. He thought that they made the announcement now, Lin Shanchus career would definitely be affected. Congrattions! He Xiang said. She thought that Huo Xunzhou was not bad, but Huo Chaosheng was also nice. After looking around with an expressionless look, Huo Xunzhou said emotionlessly, Everyone, thank you for your blessings. The apuse suddenly became much more intense. Huo Xunzhou was satisfied and his smile looked extremely gentle. Lets order dishes. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone picked up the menu and ordered the dishes without holding back. Lin Shanchu looked around and whispered into Huo Xunzhous ear, Everyone has a grudge against you. Huo Xunzhou squeezed her palm and said calmly, Its not a grudge, but a blessing. Speechless, she thought that he was in a good state of mind. Want some wine? Nan Mu looked up while holding the menu. Chu Gushen paused for a moment before he said, I still have work to doter. Yun Wu quickly raised her hand and said, I have to wake up at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow for endorsement. The others also expressed that they had work tonight or tomorrow morning. In the end, He Xiang whispered, Ill have some wine. Alright. Nan Mu said with a smile, Drink however you want. If you cant drink, well get President Huo drink it. Nan Mu did not want to drink wine, but he was clearly trying to force Huo Xunzhou to drink. Thats for the best. Chu Gushen smiled gently. Nan Mu ordered red wine and a stronger imported wine. When the waiter poured red wine for He Xiang, she shook her head and pointed at the imported wine. Ill drink that. Lin Shanchu reminded, The alcohol content is very high. He Xiang smiled at Lin Shanchu. Ill give it a try. Lin Shanchu did not try to persuade He Xiang anymore. He Xiang usually did not drink wine. Wen Huan looked at He Xiang thoughtfully. Then, he turned his head and asked Lin Shanchu, Are you guys nning to settle Tang Qidais case out of the court? Settle out of the court? Lin Shanchu shook her head and said, No. The trial has been postponed because Tang Qidai is hospitalized. Hearing her words, Wen Huan revealed a puzzled expression. Lin Shanchu seemed to understand something and turned to look at He Xiang. He Xiang was holding a ss of wine and sipping it. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and asked Wen Huan in a low voice, What happened? Wen Huan replied, You dont know that the Cheng family from Capital City sent someone to interfere with Tang Qidais case? Lin Shanchu shook her head lightly and asked, Whats the background of the Cheng family in Capital City? Wen Huan leaned forward and looked at Huo Xunzhou beside Lin Shanchu. To make a simple analogy, if the Cheng family were form an alliance with your boyfriends family by marriage, they wouldnt be considered climbing up the socialdder. What a great background. It was no wonder He Xiang was so distracted the entire afternoon and did not tell her about it. The Huo family was considered to be the top-notch family in Capital City. The Cheng family was naturally on par with the Huo family. The people from the Cheng family probably had approached He Xiang. He Xiang knew that the Cheng family was powerful and that she could not beat them. Even if she told Lin Shanchu, it would only cause Lin Shanchu more trouble. He Xiang was a youngdy who did not want to cause trouble for others. Why would the Cheng family interfere with Tang Qidais case? Lin Shanchu asked. Just as Wen Huan was about to speak, he felt an unfriendly gaze fall on him. He looked up and met Huo Xunzhous emotionless eyes. Huo Xunzhou stared at him expressionlessly for quite some time. Wen Huan felt his hair stand on end under his stare as he said, You should tell Shanshan. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou in confusion. Huo Xunzhou curled his lip slightly and showed a gentle expression as he asked, What are you guys talking about? Wen Huan was bewildered. Not only was his idol sinister, but he was also pretentious? Lin Shanchu felt that something was wrong and turned to look at Wen Huan. Wen Huan already turned around to chat with Qi Cheng. Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and asked, Do you know the Cheng family? Huo Xunzhou answered, I know. The Cheng family interfered with Tang Qidais case. Lin Shanchu briefly exined the situation to Huo Xunzhou, They have probably approached He Xiang and asked her to reconcile with Tang Qidai. I heard about it, Huo Xunzhou said in a deep voice. How did you guys know? Lin Shanchu asked skeptically. This incident probably happened when she went out to have lunch with Huo Xunzhou. Wen Huan was a reporter who traveled around all day long for scoops. It was possible that he immediately knew about this matter, but even Huo Xunzhou knew about it. If Wen Huan had not mentioned this matter, she would not have known it by now. Huo Xunzhou smiled lightly and patted her head gently tofort her. When the Cheng familys patriarch was young, he fooled around with a lot of women out there. Recently, he is seriously ill and his days are numbered, so he wants topensate for those lovechildren. Tang Qidai is a lovechild of the Cheng familys patriarch? Huo Xunzhou nodded. There was no such thing in the original book. Tang Qidai left the stage directly in the original novel. Did the plot go haywirepletely after the original male lead, Lu Shiyuan, slept with Xia Jinmeng? It was all a mess. What happened in the future could no longer be based on the contents of the original book. Lin Shanchu sneered and muttered, An illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family. This identity was quite interesting. Nan Mus high-pitched voice rang out in the private room. Xunzhou, stop whispering to Shanshan. The two of you are the hosts today. You should at least say a few words and drink a few sses of wine. After hearing those words, Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other. Then, she couldnt help but smile. There was a hint of glee in her smile. Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at her deeply before turning to deal with Nan Mu. Everyone had a great time during dinner. Lin Shanchu was also happy. If she did not meet Lu Shiyuan when she left, she would be even happier. Everyone still had things to do, so the group went out directly after dinner. He Xiangs alcohol tolerance was not good to begin with. With Qi Cheng watching from the side, he did not let her drink too much Lin Shanchu helped He Xiang out. Yun Wu also came over to lend her a hand. Enough! Whats the use of telling me this now? What were you doing earlier? A familiar roar caught everyones attention. Lin Shanchu could tell that it was Lu Shiyuans voice, so she continued to walk forward without looking back. Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks when a middle-aged mans voice rang out. Shanshan? Lin Shanchu pursed his lip and slowly turned around. When Lu Qinghuai, who was dressed in in clothes, saw Lin Shanchus face clearly, he smiled in surprise and said, It really is you, Shanshan! Lu Qinghuai walked up to Lin Shanchu with a smile on his face, but Li MO stopped him before he could get close to her.. Chapter 315 - 315: You Will Do Me the Biggest Favor by Doing Nothing Chapter 315 - 315: You Will Do Me the Biggest Favor by Doing Nothing Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lu Qinghuai was slightly stunned as he was stopped. Lin Shanchu looked at him coldly and asked, Uncle Lu, do you have business with me? We havent seen each other for so many years. I want to treat you to a meal and chat with you. The smile on Lu Qinghuais face faded a little, but his tone was still gentle. Lin Shanchuughed, but her eyes were cold. Uncle Lu, you havent returned to Xu City for so many years. Have you gone to Mount Xi Cemetery to visit my parents?
The smile on Lu Qinghuais face instantly froze. Obviously, he did not go there. Some people were heartless. Friendship was worthless to some heartless people. Uncle Lu, you have been a monk for so many years, so you must have been meditating and cultivating the Buddhas teachings. You must have cultivated thepassionate Buddhas teachings. After all, ungrateful people cannot cultivate the Buddhas teachings. Lin Shanchu stood there quietly and her gaze was as deep as a bottomless pool. When Lu Qinghuai met her gaze, he felt suffocated. Lu Qinghuai hurriedly averted his eyes. Only then did he rx and take a deep breath. Of course Ill pay my respects to your parents, but I just came back today and havent had the time to go there. Then you have to go there quickly, lest my parents who are buried underground think that youre ungrateful. After saying those words, Lin Shanchu left without looking back. Seeing that she was about to leave, Lu Qinghuai subconsciously wanted to chase after her. Shanshan.. Mr. Lu, please stay. Li MO pushed him back and nced at Lu Shiyuan behind him. Who are you people? Lu Qinghuai frowned at Li MO before ncing at other people around him. Lu Qinghuai followed the voice and looked at Huo Xunzhou. He stared intently at Huo Xunzhous face and frowned slightly. Have I seen you somewhere before? Huo Xunzhou ignored him and raised his hand slightly at Li MO, indicating that they should leave. Huo Xunzhous group left in a grandiose manner, attracting the attention of many passersby. The news of Lin Shanchu suing Lu Shiyuan for misappropriation of property had spread. 300 million yuan in cash was not that easy toe by. No wonder Lu Shiyuans father, Lu Qinghuai, had toe back and support his son. However, judging from Lin Shanchus attitude towards Lu Qinghuai earlier, the matter would not die down easily. Lin Shanchu was determined to turn against the Lu family. The other nosy customers nced at the father and son when they passed by. Lu Shiyuan had not been doing well recently. The people in thepany were now disunited. After Zhou Yan resigned, he had to do many things himself. He had to find awyer to deal with thewsuit and raise money to return 300 million yuan to Lin Shanchu. He already had a lot on his te, and Lu Qinghuai returned at this time. First, Lu Qinghuai questioned him about how things had turned out like this. Then, he said that he wanted to talk to Lin Shanchu to find out if there was still room for negotiation. Lu Shiyuan had never been so tired before. He was physically and mentally exhausted. He had not energy to deal with Lu Qinghuai or reprimand the onlookers. He just wanted to get out of here and do his own thing. Lu Qinghuai, however, seemed to have no idea what he was thinking. He even reached out and asked, Who was that man in the wheelchair just now? Lu Shiyuan suppressed his anger and said coldly, Let go of me! Shiyuan, listen to me Lu Shiyuan shook off Lu Qinghuais hand and shouted hysterically at Lu Qinghuai, Stop bothering me! Lu Qinghuai was shocked. However, he quickly showed the so-called dignity of a father. How can you talk to your father like this? Father? Lu Shiyuanughed loudly as if he had heard a particrly funny joke. Lu Qinghuai, when have you ever done your duty as a father? If you had shown your fatherly demeanor and done your duty as a father, I wouldnt have be like this! Lu Qinghuais eyes shed with guilt. Shanshan was very obedient when she was young. Now, shes just throwing a tantrum because you went too far. Im an elder. If I go and talk to her, shell definitely listen to me. When Lu Shiyuan heard that Lu Qinghuai was going to look for Lin Shanchu, his expression instantly changed. Lu Qinghuai, Im warning you, youre not allowed to go to Shanshan! This is between me and her, its not your ce to interfere in this affair! Lu Shiyuan walked out angrily. Lu Qinghuai hurriedly followed him and said, Shiyuan, Im not trying to interfere in your affair. I just want to help you Lu Shiyuan suddenly realized that Lu Qinghuai did not get angry after he called him by his full name. Help me? Lu Shiyuan sneered, Did you cause some trouble outside? No, I havent. Lu Qinghuai quickly denied, I just want to help you, really. He Xiang was too drunk to drive. Lin Shanchu could not drive without a drivers license, so they go into Huo Xunzhous car to go home. He Xiang was drunk and was already unconscious. Lin Shanchu supported He Xiang and sat next to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou held her hand and asked softly, How do you want to deal with the Cheng family? His eyes were gentle and his tone was coaxing, as if he would agree to anything she said. You can deal with them however I want? Lin Shanchu asked him deliberately. Huo Xunzhou nodded without hesitation. Yeah. Huo Xunzhous obedient look reminded Lin Shanchu of some kind of obedientrge animal, making her have the urge to bully him. Then Lin Shanchu pretended to be serious as she said, Give Tang Qidai a life sentence. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. He Xiangs injury was determined to be minor. Even if Tang Qidai was sentenced to imprisonment, it would be less than three years. The minimum sentence might only be half a year. Even though the incident where she forced Kong Suyi to death was exposed, she might not get a life sentence. If she wanted Tang Qidai to get a life sentence, she had to make Tang Qidaimit a crime again, Moreover, it had to be a more serious crime. Lin Shanchu saw Huo Xunzhou lost in thought, so she asked with a smile, Are you really thinking about how to get Tang Qidai sentenced to life imprisonment? Huo Xunzhou thought about it and said seriously, Not now. Before Lin Shanchu couldugh, Li MO, who was driving, burst outughing. Big Brother, Sister-inw was just teasing you! I know. Huo Xunzhou pinched Lin Shanchus cheek with a faint smile. Lin Shanchu raised her head and smiled at him. After that, she looked down at He Xiang who was lying on herp. After a while, she said in a low voice, It depends on how He Xiang wants to deal with this matter. Whether its a settlement or an appeal, its not a problem. I can handle it. Alright. Since Lin Shanchu said that she could handle it, Huo Xunzhou did not say any more words. Lin Shanchus mind shed back to what had just happened. Lu Qinghuai suddenly returned to Xu City. I feel something is fishy. He is a selfish coward who tends to escape from reality. He is simply not the kind of father who would care about his child.. Chapter 316 - 316: It was Pleasant to the Ears and Extremely Lovable Chapter 316 - 316: It was Pleasant to the Ears and Extremely Lovable Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu believed that Lu Qinghuai did not suddenly return to Xu City just to support Lu Shiyuan was in trouble .In terms of ability, Lu Qinghuai was far inferior to Lu Shiyuan. In terms of courage, he was far inferior to Lu Shiyuans mother, who passed away many years ago. You know Lu Qinghuai very well. Lin Shanchu noticed that Huo Xunzhou seemed to agree with her with that statement. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and sized Huo Xunzhou up. Do you know something?
Its a long story Huo Xunzhou nced out of the car window and continued, Were going to reach your house soon. It meant that they could not finish talking about the matter on the way. Lets talk about it another day when we have time. Lin Shanchu did no really want to know why Lu Qinghuai had returned to Xu City. From Huo Xunzhous calm tone, she could guess that Lu Qinghuai must have run into some trouble before he came back in disgrace. If her guess was right, Lu Qinghuai was probably thinking of getting Lu Shiyuan to help him deal with the trouble. Shortly afterwards, the car stopped at the neighborhood entrance. Shanshan, arent you going to invite me to your house? Huo Xunzhou sighed and said, I can take my time to tell you about Lu Qinghuai. Li MO had always been sensible. He consciously covered his ears with his hands. Lin Shanchu slowly approached him. Her voice was soft and gentle and her breath was fragrant. If I said Id invite you to my house, would you dare toe? Huo Xunzhou had been forced to drink a lot during dinner earlier, so Lin Shanchu could smell the faint scent of alcohol on him. Huo Xunzhous Adams apple bobbed and his ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Get out of the car. His deep voice sounded hoarse with restraint. It was pleasant to the ears and extremely lovable. Lin Shanchu raised her head to kiss him. Huo Xunzhou cooperatively lowered his head as a trace of joy shed across his eyes. Sister Lin! He Xiang, who was initially unconscious, suddenly sat up straight. He Xiang just woke up suddenly, but she was not fully awake. She hugged Lin Shanchus arm and asked in a sobbing voice, Where is this ce? Im scared. Sob Lin Shanchu, who almost kissed her new lovely boyfriend, was speechless. She was really blessed to have such a caring assistant like He Xiang. Lin Shanchu closed her eyes and calmed herself down beforeforting He Xiang gently. Were at the neighborhood entrance. Oh, lets get out of the car then. He Xiang still clung tightly to Lin Shanchus arm. Lin Shanchu silently turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. Her helpless eyes looked a little pitiful. Huo Xunzhou couldnt help butugh. When He Xiang leaned over to the window to observe the situation outside, he took advantage of the moment and quickly lowered his head to kiss Lin Shanchu on the lips. Im leaving then. Lin Shanchu instantly beamed. Huo Xunzhou nodded at her. Li MO opened the car door and got out to help her. He ooened the car door and wanted to helD He Xianc out of the car on behalf of Lin Shanchu. As a result, He Xiang pped his hand away and asked, What are you doing? Li MO replied, Im trying to help you out of the car. He Xiang looked at him seriously for a moment, but she eventually chose to give up because she was so dizzy that she could not see the face of the person in front of her clearly. She snuggled up to Lin Shanchu and stared at Li MO warily. Dont touch me. Im under Sister Lins protection! Sister Lin is very powerful! LiMo said, Oh. He had to admit that his sister-inw was quite capable. Lin Shanchu did not expect He Xiang to be so fierce when she was drunk. She asked He Xiang, How powerful is Sister Lin? Tell me about it. Sister Lin He Xiang staggered as Lin Shanchu helped her out of the car. She stuck out her tongue and said seriously, Dont provoke Sister Lin. Sister Lin can kill you with a nce when shes angry. Also Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Was she not good enough to He Xiang? It turned out that she was so fierce in He Xiangs eyes! Seeing that He Xiang was about to continue, Lin Shanchu quickly covered her mouth. She turned to look at Huo Xunzhou and said, Im leaving. The lights in the car were switched on. Huo Xunzhous face and teasing smile were exceptionally clear. He wasughing at her! Lin Shanchu snorted and quickly left with He Xiang. Huo Xunzhous smile widened as he watched Lin Shanchu enter the neighborhood. His smile gradually faded after her figure disappeared from sight. He Xiang made a fuss all the way home probably because she was unhappy. Lin Shanchu ced her on the sofa and turned around to get her some water. When she came back with a ss of water, she heard soft sobbing. He Xiang was crying while lying on the sofa. It only took three seconds for her cries to grow from soft to loud. Lin Shanchu sat across the room with her chin resting on her hand as she stared at He Xiang who was crying. When He Xiang was tired from crying, she went over to give her a ss of water. Drink some water to nourish yourself. Sister Lin He Xiang looked up at her. Then, she lowered her head and drank the ss of water obediently. After drinking the water, she began to cry again. Sister Lin, you are the same as me. Were all so miserable. Boo-hoo I have 300 million yuan, Lin Shanchu reminded her. This critical blow directly sobered He Xiang up, rendering her speechless. Oh right, Lin Shanchu had 300 million yuan. Lin Shanchu was rich, so she was not miserable at all. Seeing that He Xiang had finally calmed down, Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Shanchu stood up. Just as she was about to call He Xiang to take a shower and sleep, she suddenly heard He Xiang say in an excited tone, But Im already earning more than 10,000 yuan a month at such a young age! Im so awesome! Lin Shanchu was speechless. Im not miserable at all! He Xiang smiled through her tears and continued, Sister Lin and I arent miserable! I believe you! He Xiang nodded and sat down obediently. However, she could not sit still at all and fell back onto the sofa. He Xiang, who fell back on the sofa, realized that she had just said I believe. She covered her mouth with a terrified expression. Lin Shanchu said that she would kick her out if she said another word! You dare to say that you believe me? Lin Shanchu angrily rolled up her sleeves and dragged He Xiang back to the bedroom. As a punishment, she did not help He Xiang to bed. Climb into bed by yourself, hurry up! He Xiang felt wronged and spent a lot of effort to climb into bed. Cover yourself with the nket! Close your eyes and sleep! When Lin Shanchu gave amand, He Xiang acted ordingly. Their cooperation went well. After closing the door, Lin Shanchu let out a long sigh of relief. Was she really that fierce? Should she be gentler to He Xiang in the future? The next morning. When Lin Shanchu woke up, the dining table was full of steaming hot breakfast. However, the person who made breakfast was nowhere to be seen. Lin Shanchu took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to He Xiang. Lin Shanchu: [Appear in front of me in 30 seconds. [Smile]] As soon as she sent the message, the sound of the bedroom door opening could be heard. Then, hurried footsteps were heard. In less than ten seconds, He Xiang appeared in front of her. Sister Lin! Lin Shanchu said with a smile, Good morning, Miss He Xiang who earns more than 10,000 yuan a month at such a young age.. Chapter 317 - 317: I Can Only Beg Huo Xunzhou to Save Me Chapter 317: I Can Only Beg Huo Xunzhou to Save Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiangs heart was in her mouth and she almost fell to her knees on the spot. She looked like she was about to cry as she said, Sister Lin, I was wrong Youre so amazing. Lin Shanchu asked gently, What did you do wrong? Bing more anxious, He Xiang asked tentatively, I was wrong in all aspects. Lin Shanchu said, Youre indeed amazing. You even dare to brush me off with some scumbags quote. He Xiang replied, Sob I didnt. Sit down. Lin Shanchu gently lifted her chin and gestured for He Xiang to sit across from her. He Xiang sat down obediently. When she looked up quietly, she saw that Lin Shanchu had picked up the chopsticks and started eating breakfast. Was Lin Shanchu not angry anymore? Lets talk after breakfast, Lin Shanchu suddenly said. Oh! Was Lin Shanchu omniscient? After breakfast, Lin Shanchu wanted to help He Xiang clean the dishes, but He Xiang pushed her out of the kitchen. He Xiang quickly cleaned the dishes in the kitchen. When she came out, she saw Lin Shanchu sitting on the sofa with a serious expression. Sister Lin He Xiang carefully sat down opposite her. Lin Shanchu looked at her expressionlessly. Do you want to exin the Cheng familys matter yourself, or should I help you exin? You knew? He Xiang was stunned. Even though Lin Shanchu had her own temper, she treated He Xiang quite well. After He Xiang got drunkst night, she said a lot of silly things and did some stupid things, but Lin Shanchu would not be angry at her over such a trifle. It turned out that Lin Shanchu was a little angry because of this matter. Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows slightly, giving He Xiang a look that she would give her another chance. He Xiang honestly told Lin Shanchu that the Cheng family had approached her. An old man came to me and said that if Tang Qidai and I settle out of court, he would give me money that I would never be able to earn in this lifetime. I rejected him at that time, but he told me to think about it carefully. Lin Shanchu looked at He Xiangs clenched hands and asked, What do you think? My family isnt rich at all, but my mother always says that a human should live a honorable life. I dont want to settle out of court. He Xiangs expression gradually became firm. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and stared at her. You arent going to settle out of court then. Yes. He Xiang smiled. When did that old man from the Cheng family ask you to meet him again? He Xiang replied, Today. He Xiang contacted the old man sent by the Cheng family and both parties agreed to meet at a cafe. As soon as they entered the cafe, He Xiang pulled Lin Shanchus sleeve and pointed somewhere. Sister Lin, its the old man in a suit sitting by the window Lin Shanchu looked in the direction He Xiang was pointing at. The white-haired old man was wearing a neatly ironed suit and tie. Even the cufflinks on his shirt cuffs were shiny. Such exquisite clothing instantly distinguished him from ordinary old people. He was exuding an aura that made people dare not neglect him. After Lin Shanchu and Xiang walked closer, He Xiang greeted politely, Mr. Yan. The old man was surnamed Yan? Lin Shanchu looked at He Xiang in confusion. Wasnt he someone sent by the Cheng family? The old man raised his head. When he saw Lin Shanchu, a scrutinizing look appeared on his face. However, his gaze only lingered on Lin Shanchu for two seconds before he looked away, so she did not feel ufortable. He nodded slightly and said, Ladies, please sit down. After Lin Shanchu sat down, she unabashedly sized up the old man opposite her. Sir, your surname is Yan? Im Yan Qicheng, the butler of the Cheng family in Capital City. Yan Qichengs tone was neither hurried nor slow when he spoke, but there was a sharp light hidden in his eyes. He was just a butler despite the aura he exuded. As expected of a wealthy family that could be on par with the Huo family via marriage alliance. Since the other party was still polite, Lin Shanchu did not have a bone to pick with him, nor did she had to fall out with him. Im Lin Shanchu, He Xiangs elder sister. Lin Shanchu smiled and used the same tone as Yan Qicheng spoke just now. She spoke slowly, giving him the impression that she was a good talker. As far as I know, Miss He is your assistant, Miss Lin. Yan Qicheng smiled slightly. He still spoke in polite tone, but the disdain in his eyes grew more obvious. He was implying that Lin Shanchu should mind her own business. Since Yan Qicheng was taking advantage of his seniority, Lin Shanchu did not intend to be polite with him. Arent you just a butler of the Cheng family? If a servant can do work for his master, cant I lend a hand to my sister-like assistant as her boss? He Xiang looked up at Lin Shanchu with a touched expression. Lin Shanchus image in her mind grew even more. When she met Yan Qicheng yesterday, it only took him a little effort to scare her to the point that she dared not speak. Lin Shanchu was really brave. Not only was she not afraid at all, she even dared to mock Yan Qicheng directly. Yan Qichengs expression froze. Miss Lin, its true that Im just a butler who doesnt get to have the final say. However, there are many people in the Cheng family have the final say. As long as you and Miss He agree to settle out of court, your future will be smooth sailing. Yan Qicheng directly threatened them as he felt Lin Shanchu had touched a sore spot with him with the sarcastic remarks about him being a servant. Lin Shanchu widened her eyes and asked seriously, Is the Cheng family that powerful? Yan Qicheng thought that Lin Shanchu had taken his words to heart, so he revealed an enigmatic smile. As long as you are willing to cooperate, everything will be fine. He thought that she was just a youngdy would be afraid after a simple threat. Lin Shanchus face darkened as she shouted coldly, Go back and tell your master that we will never settle out of court! Yan Qicheng did not expect Lin Shanchus attitude would change so fast. He was taken aback for a moment before he reacted. You better think it over! Lin Shanchu said indifferently, If I have a bright future in the entertainment industry, it will be because the Cheng family is incapable. You Yan Qicheng did not expect that Lin Shanchu would be unfazed by the threat. She even acted like she cared nothing about the consequences, as if nothing he said could threaten her. Lets go. Lin Shanchu pulled He Xiangs hand and left. He Xiang couldnt help butugh out loud when they left the cafe. Yan Qichengs expression changed just now. Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. Its best if that bad old man dies of heart attack or something for bullying a youngdy. He Xiang thought that Lin Shanchu made the remark in a fit of pique, so she did not overthink it. On the way to the parking lot, He Xiang was still a little worried and said, Sister Lin, Yan Qicheng seems to hold a grudge. What if the Cheng family really makes a move to make you unable to survive in the entertainment industry in the future? Lin Shanchu thought about it seriously, but then she sighed and said, In that case, I can only live off my boyfriend. Pfft! He Xiangughed out loud. What are youughing at? Im serious. Lin Shanchu turned to look at her and said, If the Cheng family really wants to deal with me, I might not be able to withstand it. At that time, I can only beg Huo Xunzhou to save me. He Xiang stoppedughing. She just cleared her throat and winked at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu, who sensed the signal, turned her head and saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in the car.. Chapter 318 - 318: The Plot Had Been Interrupted Before She Awakened Chapter 318: The Plot Had Been Interrupted Before She Awakened Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The windows were all rolled down. Huo Xunzhou had one hand on the window frame and was looking at Lin Shanchu with a faint smile. Judgin from his expression, he was clearly trying to hint her that he had heard the entire conversation. The smile on Lin Shanchus face froze. Why didnt you warn me earlier? she whispered to He Xiang. He Xiang helplessly said, I just saw him. Huo Xunzhou looked at her intently, signaling for her to go over. Lin Shanchu walked over slowly. Sister-inw! Li MO waved at Lin Shanchu with a beaming smile. Lin Shanchu was used to Li MOs sudden enthusiasm. Why are you guys here? Li MO exined, Brother Qi said that you and Yan Qicheng were supposed to meet here, but it looks like werete. Are you done chatting? Huo Xunzhou asked as he grabbed her hand. Lin Shanchu cooperatively let him grab her hand, but she was upset and frowned. That old fart didnt even think of having a proper conversation. Huo Xunzhou held her hand and asked with a smile, You were going to have a proper conversation with him when you came here? He knew Lin Shanchus personality very well. The Cheng family had dispatched people to find He Xiang and bullied her because she was weak. In the first ce, Lin Shanchu wanted to stand up for He Xiang. Huo Xunzhou had seen through her intentions, so Lin Shanchu decided to let it slide. But he threatened me! Lin Shanchu said confidently. Dont be afraid, Ill save you, Huo Xunzhou said solemnly. Lin Shanchu looked at him nkly and replied, Huh? She only realized Huo Xunzhou was teasing her when she noticed the hidden smile on his face! Hmph! Let go of me! Lin Shanchu said as she tried to shake his hand off. Huo Xunzhou stopped smiling and said seriously, Get in the car and apany me to somewhere. Lin Shanchu red at him. Then, she turned to He Xiang and said, You may go home first. He Xiang smiled and left. As soon as Lin Shanchu got into the car, she asked Huo Xunzhou, Where are we going Huo Xunzhou took out his phone and handed it to her after operating on it a few times. A financial news headline was disyed on the screen: [Lu Qinghuais equity loan is overdue, the pledged equity will face auction risk.] Lin Shanchu read the long title several times before she understood what it meant. Lu Qinghuai pledged part of his shares to get a loan? What did he do with the loan? Lu Qinghuai did not even care about thepanys affairs. He did not need a loan at all. Hows the father-son rtionship between Lu Qinghuai and Lu Shiyuan? Huo Xunzhou asked. Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment. The father and son dont trust each other and guard against each other. Lu Qinghuai is a good-for-nothing. Lu Shiyuan is powerful. Lu Qinghuai has always held most of the shares in his hands because he doesnt want Lu Shiyuan topletely control Lu Corporation as he wishes Speaking of which, Lin Shanchu had a sh of inspiration. I understand now! Lu Qinghuai got a loan to make investments and transfer his assets? How clever. Huo Xunzhou patted her head approvingly. Lin Shanchuughed heartily as if she had heard a hrious joke. Lu Qinghuai had the nerve to make investments! After so many years, he still did not have a clear understanding of his own ability! Isnt it obvious that hed be giving away money to others by making investments? No matter how Lin Shanchu thought about it, she felt that it was a mysterious matter. She frowned slightly and thought about it seriously. Then, she guessed, He couldnt have been deceived, right? As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that the silence in the car was a little strange. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou next to her before she looked at Li MO, who was focused on driving. In the end, her gazended on Huo Xunzhous face again. Sitting leisurely, Huo Xunzhou leaned against the seat with one hand resting on the back of Lin Shanchus seat and the other handzily ced on hisp. He looked rxed and normal. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Huo Xunzhou for a long time before asking tentatively, You did this? Just as Huo Xunzhou was about to speak, Lin Shanchu changed her tune. When did you do it? Yesterday, when she mentioned why Lu Qinghuai had returned to Xu City, Huo Xunzhou admitted that he did know some inside information. In that case, Huo Xunzhou was definitely the person who had tricked Lu Qinghuai into taking out a loan to make investments! This kind of investment loan required a cycle time, so Huo Xunzhou definitely did not do it recently. He must have nned it long ago. If it happened at an earlier time, she was not awakened at that time and was still following the plot as Lu Shiyuans bootlicker. To her surprise, Huo Xunzhou had started to make a move on Lu Qinghuais shares at that time. Could this be a hidden plot in the original book? It started about two or three years ago, Huo Xunzhou answered seriously. The specific date is stated on the contract. You did it a long time ago? Lin Shanchu felt that this hidden plot did not make sense. If Huo Xunzhou had done the same thing in the original book, Lu Shiyuan, who had the male lead aura, would have definitely discovered it. As the saying went, two ipatible people could not coexist in the same ce. If Lu Shiyuan knew that Huo Xunzhou had such means, he would certainly not allow Huo Xunzhou to live. He would definitely think of ways to get rid of Huo Xunzhou! Why was this happening? Could it be that the plot had been interrupted before she awakened? Or, she could make another bold guess. The so-called plot of the original book was actually not the real plot. It was just something that the stupid system had specially instilled into her toplete the mission? The system had disappeared a long time ago, and no one could give her an answer for the time being. Lin Shanchus expression changed again and again. Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly and met her gaze. Whats wrong? Its nothing. In order to divert his attention, Lin Shanchu began to sweet-talk him, Youre really amazing. Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand again and narrowed his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes. I am not really amazing, but its more than enough to make my girlfriend live off me. Lin Shanchu still had secrets that she did not want to tell him. There was no hurry. He had plenty of time to guess her secrets. Lin Shanchu covered her face in frustration and said, You are so annoying! This man was so annoying! He had been teasing her about it. Huo Xunzhou smiled and pulled her into his arms. Lin Shanchu struggled for a while and stopped moving. It was until she saw the car stop at the entrance of a hospital. She immediately recognized that it was the hospital where thepany had arranged for the check-up. Where are you feeling unwell? Lin Shanchu asked, hoping for a stroke of luck. Your medical report has been here for so long. Its time to take it. Huo Xunzhous voice sank and his gaze lookedplicated. Lin Shanchu frowned without a word. Huo Xunzhou looked up at the front row and said, Li MO, get out of the car and wait for us. Li MO unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. The entire process was smooth and only took three seconds. Only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were left in the car. Lin Shanchu clenched her fists and said unhappily, You knew that I was afraid, but still you insisted on taking me here to get it! Chapter 319 - 319: The Couple He Shipped Could Not Come to a Bad End! Chapter 319: The Couple He Shipped Could Not Come to a Bad End! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a while before he said in a deep voice, You have to face it eventually. Lin Shanchu snorted. Talking sense into someone Im scared too. Huo Xunzhou suddenly interrupted Lin Shanchu before she could say, Everyone knows how to do it. Huo Xunzhou looked intently at her with a frown and a serious expression. Lin Shanchus heart skipped a beat as sheforted him softly, Actually, theres nothing to be afraid of. Huo Xunzhou looked at her carefully for a moment. He couldnt help but hold her head and lower his head to kiss her. The bad experiences of the past had caused some changes in her character. However, her kindness never changed. She was clearly afraid, but sheforted him instead. When they got out of the car, Lin Shanchus face was red. Li MO pretended not to see them and walked half a meter away from them. He sped his hands in front of him and walked forward without looking sideways. Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou slowly. Lin Shanchu stopped at the entrance. Ill take a look at the results when I get the medical reportter, she said firmly. Huo Xunzhou was silent for a while before he said, Lets look at the results together. Alright, Lin Shanchu replied after a moment of hesitation. Li MO was also a little nervous due to the atmosphere. He muttered, I want to look at the results with you guys too. Lin Shanchu said, Alright. The three of them appeared in the doctors office with serious expressions. Youre here to get Miss Lins medical report, right? The doctor smiled kindly before he turned around and took out Lin Shanchus medical report. Lin Shanchu took the report and sat down stiffly. Then, she looked down at the report and did not move for a long time. Huo Xunzhou sat quietly at the side and did not rush her. On the other hand, Li MO was a little anxious and wanted to urge Lin Shanchu to open it and take a look. The doctor came back with a ss of water. When he saw the three of them, heughed and said, Dont be nervous. Theres nothing wrong with your body. Youre just a little weak and malnourished. Just take good care of yourself. The three of them looked up at the doctor in unison. The doctor was a little confused by their stares, so he asked, You dont believe me? Why dont you open it and see for yourself? Lin Shanchu hesitated for a long time and did not dare to open it. In the end, the doctor revealed the results of the check-up. Lin Shanchu could not believe her ears. She handed the medical report to Huo Xunzhou. You should open it. Huo Xunzhou curled his fingers. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, Li MO suddenly reached out to snatch it. Ill help you guys open it! He was really anxious. Li MO took the medical report and opened it in a few seconds. After reading the key points, he said happily, Big brother, theres really no problem with Sister-in ws health! Huo Xunzhou took the report and looked at it carefully. After that, he let out a sigh of relief. Li MO rubbed his hands happily next to them and said, Sister-inw, alls well that ends well. The pairing he shipped could note to a bad end! On the way back, Lin Shanchu flipped through the medical report several times, but she still had a look of disbelief on her face. Seeing that she had been flipping through the report countless times, Huo Xunzhou took it away from her. Lin Shanchu looked up at him and asked tentatively, Do you think its possible Impossible, Huo Xunzhou immediately interrupted her because he could guess what she was going to say next. What if There are no ifs. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other for a moment. Then, she turned to look out the window with a nk expression. Her cancer really disappeared along with Lu Shiyuans male lead aura. In the meantime, her life n was to ruin Lu Shiyuan. However, the cancer had now disappeared. She would have to live for at least a few decades if nothing unexpected happened, so she suddenly did not know what to do. You still have a final scene in Top Feast. Ill get Nan Mu to arrange it for you. Hearing Huo Xunzhous voice, Lin Shanchu turned to look at him. Huo Xunzhou smiled and teased her, The Cheng family hasnt made their move yet. You can still go out to work, so you cant live off your boyfriend for the time being. She was speechless. He really could not stop teasing her about living off her boyfriend. The filming of Top Feast was about to end. Lin Shanchus final scene had been arranged long ago, but the crew postponed the filming because she and Lu Shiyuan had to hold a wedding. After Nan Mu contacted the crew, Qi Cheng went over the details with them. The filming would start the next morning, so Lin Shanchu had to enter the film set that night. Before entering the film set, Lin Shanchu asked Wen Huan out for dinner at the restaurant that Wen Huan took her tost time. Lin Shanchu took the menu and ordered dishes. Then, she looked up at the waiter and said, Id like to order a bottle of beer. Wen Huan raised his head from his phone. I dont drink beer. Its not for you. Lin Shanchu nced at him. Wen Huan rolled his eyes at her. Do you have a death wish? She was speechless. He was a man who was dedicated to his job and good at picking up trash, but unfortunately, he was foul-mouthed. Im cured, Lin Shanchu said unhappily. Wen Huan was puzzled. He did not understand it. How could this kind of illness be cured? The waiter brought the beer and two sses. Lin Shanchu poured herself a ss of wine before she looked at him with the beer bottle in her hand. Want some? We should celebrate it. Wen Huan picked up the other ss and handed it to her. Although he felt that Lin Shanchus sudden recovery was iprehensible, it was a good thing worth celebrating. He had a strange feeling that no matter what happened to Lin Shanchu, he would not find it strange. After Lin Shanchu and Wen Huan finished dinner, Qi Cheng and He Xiang drove her to the film set. The crew obviously knew about what had happened to her recently. Although they did not ask about her affairs, they looked at her with love and took good care of her. They took the initiative to give her food and drinks. Even the director, who was serious at the start of work, was much gentler than usual. Lin Shanchu spent two whole days filming at the film set. When thest scene waspleted, Qi Cheng came to pick her up at the film set and even brought a bouquet of flowers. Lin Shanchu took the flowers and tilted her head slightly in surprise. President Huo bought it, Qi Cheng whispered into her ear. After getting back her phone, Lin Shanchu took a photo and sent it to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was busy with something and did not reply immediately. In the evening, the crew arranged a wrap party. The director personally told her about this matter. She could not refuse his kindness, so she agreed to attend it. Lin Shanchu went to the restaurant with the crew. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Lu Shiyuaning out of the taxi in front of her. Lu Shiyuan took a taxi. Furthermore, Zhou Yan was not by his side. She was intrigued when she noticed these two points. Lu Shiyuan has been collecting the money he owes you recently. He has sold most of his real estate and cars. Qi Cheng did not stay with her at the film set, so he was more well -informed.. Chapter 320 - 320: You May Kneel to Death Here Chapter 320: You May Kneel to Death Here Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The rest of the crew also saw Lu Shiyuan and tacitly lowered their voices to discuss something. Lu Shiyuan felt that someone was looking at him, so he turned around and looked over. When he saw Lin Shanchu, his expression froze for a moment before he rushed into the restaurant. His back looked a little disheveled. Lu Shiyuan, who used to have great reputation, ended up in this state today. There were so many people in the crew, so half of the seats in the restaurant were reserved by them. Lin Shanchu did not see Lu Shiyuan when she went into the restaurant. She guessed that he must have gone to talk to someone in a private room. The restaurant booked by the crew was not bad, but it was indeed unsightly to someone who only went to high -ss ces like Lu Shiyuan. After Lin Shanchu sat down, she took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Chu Gushen. Lin Shanchu: [How much money did Lu Shiyuan raise?] Chu Gushen quickly replied: [Its still far from enough. The recent events have had a huge impact on Lu Corporation. Many people arent willing to lend him money. Those who are willing to lend him money cante up with much money in a short period of time, so hes been selling his assets to raise money recently.] After Lin Shanchu read the message, she put down her phone with satisfaction. Lu Qinghuais investment loan had failed. Now that the loan was overdue, he would definitely be counting on Lu Shiyuan to help him repay the loan. However, Lu Shiyuan could not even protect himself now. He could not even gather 300 million yuan by selling his personal assets. In the end, he had no choice but to sell his shares. If Lu Qinghuai could not repay the loan, the shares he had pledged would be auctioned off. In that case, Lu Corporation would have to change its name if the shares fell into the hands of others. When Lin Shanchu came out of the restroom, she saw Lu Shiyuan smoking in the corridor. Lu Shiyuan raised his head and looked at her intently. Shanshan. Have you gathered the money? Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks and gently fanned the smoke with her slender and snow-white fingers. Seeing this, Lu Shiyuan put out the cigarette in his hand. Just a little more. Can you give me a little more time? He looked even more haggard and thinner than before. Lin Shanchu slowly curled her lip. Her smile was extremely gentle, but her words were extremely cold. Isnt sixteen years enough already? You have probably heard about my dads loan Lu Shiyuan said with an embarrassed expression. I heard about it, but what does that have to do with me? Lin Shanchu interrupted him impatiently. Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief and asked, Lu Corporations shares are going to be auctioned off. Dont you care? Lin Shanchu sneered, Its none of my business. Shanshan, you Lin Shanchu reminded him in a serious tone, Im sure youve received the court summons. You should know that if you cant gather 300 million yuan before the trial, youll get a longer sentence than Tang Qidai. Looking at Lin Shanchus leaving figure, Lu Shiyuan held his head and squatted down against the wall. When Lin Shanchu returned to the restaurant hall, he saw Qi Cheng looking over from afar. After he saw Lin Shanchu, his eyes calmed down a little. Lin Shanchu returned to her seat and sat down. Then, Qi Cheng turned his head and asked her, Did you meet Lu Shiyuan? Lu Shiyuan followed Lin Shanchu right after she left her seat just now. Qi Cheng thought that if Lin Shanchu did note back in two minutes, he would go and check on the situation. Yeah. Lin Shanchu nodded. Qi Cheng advised her, Eat more. Theres no need to get angry at that kind of person. Im not angry. Lu Shiyuan was no longer able to affect her emotions as easily as before. She was happier than ever. The wrap party this time was very low-key and ended at 10:00 p.m. Right after Lin Shanchu walked out of the restaurant, someone suddenly jumped in front of her and knelt down in front of her. Shanshan, please spare me! Spare Lu Corporation! Lin Shanchu took a closer look. It was Lu Qinghuai. Qi Cheng noticed that something was wrong and immediately went forward to pull Lu Qinghuai up. Lu Qinghuai shook Qi Cheng off and said, Shanshan, I wont get up if you dont promise me. Many people witnessed the scene in public, so the director whispered to Lin Shanchu, Why dont you two find a quiet ce to talk it through? Lin Shanchu took a few deep breaths, but still she could not suppress the urge to kick Lu Qinghuai away. He Xiang had been paying attention to Lin Shanchus reaction. The moment she saw Lin Shanchu raise her foot, she quickly went forward to stop her. Sister Lin, hold it in! He Xiang persuaded her nervously, You may curse him, but this matter will be never-ending if you every a hand on him. Lin Shanchu replied, I wont use my hand, Ill use my foot. He Xiang said, You cant use your foot either. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath and stared at Lu Qinghuai with a cold smile. You may kneel to death here. The surroundings suddenly fell silent. Lin Shanchu acted as if she did not notice anything and walked away calmly. Qi Cheng almost had a heart attack on the spot. However, he forced a smile and said a few words to mend the situation. Ady gets a little emotional sometimes. Everyone, thank you for taking care of Shanshan during this period of time. We hope we can work together again if we have the opportunity in the future. The director smiled cooperatively and said, Lets work together again if there is another chance. The crew members did not want to get involved in the Lu familys matters, so they all left in a hurry. Only Lu Qinghuai was still kneeling on the spot with a nk expression. The reason why he had lowered his face and knelt down before Lin Shanchu in front of so many people was because he was certain that Lin Shanchu, as a public figure, would definitely choose to back down to save face. However, he did not expect Lin Shanchu to be so cruel. Just as Lu Qinghuai was about to get up, Lu Shiyuans angry roar came from behind. What are you doing here? When Lin Shanchu got home, she found that both Lu Shiyuan and Lu Qinghuai were trending with the hashtag #LuFamilysFatherAndSonFoughtInFrontoftheRestaurant. Thements section: [What a kind father and a filial son. Filial piety is powerful!] [Filial piety is trending!] [Filial piety? Hahahahaha!] [Ah, this Dont they feel ashamed?] [A lot of things have happened to Lu Corporation recently. I suspect that Lu Corporation is about to copse.] [Indeed, I heard that some artists have started to terminate their contracts and run away.] [You still have time to fight? Have you paid off the money you owe Sister Rabbit?] Theizens were really kind-hearted. At a time like this, they did not forget to help her collect the debt. The next day, thewyer informed He Xiang that the trial with Tang Qidai would start as scheduled. Yan Qicheng found a newvvyer for Tang Qidaia top-notchwyer hired from Capital City at a high price. Thevvyer looked serious when he told them about this matter. It was obvious that thewyer was under a lot of pressure. He Xiang fell silent for a long time before she asked thewyer, Will their newwyer going to get Tang Qidai acquitted? Thats not the case. The evidence in this case is conclusive. Thewyer shook his head and said, In addition, it was a bigmotion back then coupled with the pressure from public opinion. The other partyswyer will probably work hard on reducing the sentence. Its impossible for her to be acquitted. He Xiang heaved a sigh of relief and said, Thats good. Its fine as long as she is going to be a convict.. Chapter 321 - 321: What Can You Do? I Am Just Blessed with Good Fortune Chapter 321: What Can You Do? I Am Just Blessed with Good Fortune Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion On the day of trial for Tang Qidai and He Xiangs case, Lin Shanchu and Qi Cheng went to the court as observers. Yan Qicheng was also present at the court as an observer. The two sides inevitably engaged in a head-on confrontation. Yan Qicheng lifted his chin slightly and nced at Lin Shanchu indifferently. His high and mighty attitude was filled with contempt. Lin Shanchu deliberately took off her sunsses and red at him. The old geezer took advantage of his seniority. After being a watchdog in a rich family for a few years, he really thought he was someone important. Yan Qicheng pursed his lip in rage, but he was concerned about therge number of people at the scene. Then, he turned his head with a long face and looked ahead. Qi Cheng held back hisughter and pulled Lin Shanchu to sit down. Then, Qi Cheng told her about the relevant findings that he recently found out. Its true that Yan Qicheng is not an ordinary servant in the Cheng family. When he was young, he were sworn friends with the patriarch of the Cheng family. No wonder he thinks so highly of himself. For a wealthy family like the Cheng family, it was verymon for them to take advantage of the situation and pick on the weak. Yan Qicheng was acquainted with the patriarch of the Cheng family, so he must have long been used to being ttered. However, Lin Shanchu did not buy it. No matter whom he was acquainted with, she would not show them respect as long as they provoked her. Now that youve offended him, hell definitely give you a hard time in the ruture wnenever ne gets aance. Qi Cheng chuckled and his tone was filled with joy. What are you happy about? Lin Shanchu did not understand him. Qi Cheng chuckled, I jus think it is kind of exciting. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Had she driven Qi Cheng crazy atst? The trial ended. Tang Qidai had to pay a certain amount ofpensation to He Xiang and was sentenced to six months in prison with a one-year reprieve. After the verdict was announced, Tang Qidai turned to Lin Shanchu with a provocative and smug smile. Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai looked at each other expressionlessly. Tang Qidai stared at her for two seconds before looking away in boredom. Qi Cheng pulled out the sunsses that was about to break from Lin Shanchus hand. Lin Shanchu slowly loosened her fingers and muttered, She got off easy. Qi Cheng checked the sunsses carefully. After confirming that they were not broken, he nced at He Xiang in the defendants seat. Although she is granted a reprieve, the result is already quite good in He Xiangs opinion. Tang Qidai strode toward Lin Shanchu at the entrance of the court. Tang Qidai observed Lin Shanchus expression as she spoke, Im going to Capital City. The flight is tonight. She would not be sent to prison because of the reprieve. Yan Qicheng would be able to get Tang Qidai to leave Xu City tonight with just a little bit of effort. Lin Shanchu was not surprised. Bon voyage. Lin Shanchu raised her eyes slightly and her tone was exceptionally sincere, as if she was wishing her well from the bottom of her heart. Tang Qidaiughed in anger. Lin Shanchu, I know you must be furious. Tang Qidai frowned and pretended to be troubled. But what can you do? I am just blessed with good fortune. In the first half of my life, I had that idiot Lu Shiyuan to protect me. In the second half of my life, I will be the heiress of the Cheng family in Capital City and you will never be able to catch up to me! Lin Shanchu chuckled, In that case, I wish you get along well with the young masters and youngdies of the Cheng family, Miss Cheng. The Cheng family in Capital City was arge family with many children. The children of wealthy families who had grown up in an atmosphere of power struggles hated illegitimate daughters like Tang Qidai the most. Tang Qidai was well aware of this point. Her expression changed as she raised her voice as a bluff. Just you wait! Tang Qidai turned around and left with Yan Qicheng. He Xiang saw Lin Shanchu staring in the direction where Tang Qidai had left and thought that she was angry. Hence, she walked up to Lin Shanchu andforted her, Sister Lin, dont mind what she said. Im already very satisfied with this result. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and said regretfully, Its a pity that I cant go to Capital City to watch the drama unfold. He Xiang was speechless. On the same day, someone went to the web portal, China Judgements Online, to dig up the results of the case between He Xiang and Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai was trending. However, this trending topic only appeared at the bottom of the trending list for a while before disappearing quickly. Lin Shanchu knew that the Cheng family had made a move. After all, Tang Qidai was the illegitimate daughter of the Cheng familys patriarch. As long as the patriarch was alive, he would definitely protect her. Lin Shanchu was a little envious of Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai had not done many good deeds in her life, but she was indeed blessed with good fortune. At least she lived a better life than her and always had someone to protect her. Lin Shanchu was in a bad mood when she thought about it. If she was in a bad mood, she could only do something fun. For example, she could go to Lu Shiyuan to collect the debt. Lin Shanchu went straight to Lu Corporation with her bodyguards. When Lin Shanchu took the bodyguards to the floor where Lu Shiyuans office was located, his secretary rushed over. Miss Lin, President Lu went out to handle some matters. He is not in thepany. Lin Shanchu ignored the secretary and pushed open the door to Lu Shiyuans office. The office was in a mess. The desk was filled with documents that had not been processed. It was obvious that Lu Shiyuan had not been taking good care of thepanys affairs recently. However, under normal circumstances, Zhou Yan would help Lu Shiyuan deal with most the unimportant documents. The documents should not have piled up so much. Lin Shanchu remembered that she saw Lu Shiyuan on the day of the wrap party, but Zhou Yan was nowhere to be seen. Hence, she turned her head and asked the secretary, Wheres Zhou Yan? Zhou Yan resigned some time ago. Zhou Yan actually resigned? Lin Shanchuughed out loud. Shanshan. Lu Shiyuans voice sounded. The smile on Lin Shanchus face faded as she asked, Have you gathered the money? Lu Shiyuan frowned and asked, Shanshan, do you have to talk about money whenever we meet? What else do we have to talk about? Are we going to talk about how youve repaid my kindness with ingratitude and how youve misappropriating my property for the past sixteeen years? Lu Shiyuan grimaced more with every word Lin Shanchu said. Ive sold everything I could, but I really cante up with enough Lin Shanchu interrupted him impatiently, Dont you still have the shares of Lu Corporation? You arent even willing to sell your shares, and yet you said you knew youre wrong? Lin Shanchu shot him a disdainful nce before leaving with her bodyguards. Lu Shiyuan stood in ce for a long time until Lin Shanchus figure disappeared around the corner. Then, he turned around and returned to his office. The next day, Lu Corporations stock hit the lower circuit limit again. Experienced people could tell that someone was selling Lu Corporations shares inrge quantities. When Lin Shanchu saw the news, she removed the other shareholders from the cklist. Then, she went to look for Huo Xunzhou. When she went there, she found Chu Gushen there as well. The two of them seemed to have just finished their discussion. Chu Gushen bade Lin Shanchu farewell and left in a hurry. What have you been busy with recently? Huo Xunzhou had been busy ever since she entered the film set to film the final scene of Top Feast.. Chapter 322 - 322: Lu Corporation Will No Longer Exist From Today Onwards Chapter 322: Lu Corporation Will No Longer Exist From Today Onwards Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Xunzhou was not busy with Tianzhou Media because he rarely went to thepany. Nan Mu was mainly responsible for most of the matters in Tianzhou Media. Huo Xunzhou took Lin Shanchu to sit on the sofa before he said slowly, Im busy working out ounts. What ounts? Lin Shanchu asked curiously. Huo Xunzhou exined patiently, Ive been wanting to buy some things recently but the expense is kind of big, so I need to calcte if I have enough money to spend. So you asked Chu Gushen to work out the ounts for you? Lin Shanchu did not pursue the matter further. Huo Xunzhou nodded. Oh, Lin Shanchu replied and then stopped talking. Huo Xunzhou had shot many films in the seven years since his debut. His pay was the highest in the entertainment industry and he had various business opportunities. In addition, he had privately invested in many projects over the years. She did not Imow exactly how much assets Huo Xunzhou had, but it was definitely a figure she could not imagine. What do you want from me? Huo Xunzhou smiled at her. Lin Shanchu cleared her throat and said seriously, Ive got nothing better to do, so I came to see you. Huo Xunzhou smiled without a word. Lin Shanchus phone rang at this moment. It was a call from a shareholder of Lu Corporation. Miss Lin Lets meet somewhere and talk about it. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone right after she said that. She looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou staring at her. I have something to do. Ill be leaving now. Huo Xunzhou paused before he said, Youre leaving so soon? Ille and meet you when Im free, Lin Shanchu said as she stood up with her bag in her hand. Li MO will be back soon. Huo Xunzhou stood up and said, Ill ask him to take you home. No need. He Xiang is waiting for me outside. Huo Xunzhou watched Lin Shanchu getting into the car. He smiled helplessly and took out his phone to call Chu Gushen. We can start now. Sister Lin, youre done talking to Teacher Huo so quickly? He Xiang was a little surprised that Lin Shanchu came out so quickly. Lin Shanchu was looking down at the message she had just received. Head to Yong Shui Pavilion. A shareholder of Lu Corporation who called her just now texted her, asking her to go to Yong Shui Pavilion to discuss some matters. He Xiang drove Lin Shanchu to Yong Shui Pavilion. When Lin Shanchu went into the private room with He Xiang, the shareholders were already arguing. Why is there no hope for Lu Corporation? Hasnt gone through ups and downs all these years? This is the foundation that we have built with hard work! How can you still trying to take all the credit at a time like this? Everyone knows who founded Lu Corporation! If it werent for Mr. Lin and his wife, Lu Corporation wouldnt have existed today! Exactly! Lu Qinghuai is a good-for-nothing. His son is more promising than him, but Lu Shiyuan doesnt care about anything now. Lu Corporation is done for In my opinion, while the stocks in our hands are still worth some money, we should sell them to get some money for retirement Someone noticed Lin Shanchus arrival and quickly said, Miss Lin is here. The noisy room finally quieted down. However, everyone surrounded Lin Shanchu and started arguing again after a brief moment of silence. We cant even find Lu Shiyuan now. Lu Corporations situation is getting worse day by day Miss Lin, youre a shareholder of Lu Corporation after all. Please give us some advice. The 20% of the shares that Lu Qinghuai pledged will be auctioned off in a few days. What should we do? Miss Lin, a major shareholder sold thepanys shares yesterday. Did Lu Shiyuan do it? Miss Lin Lin Shanchu felt a tingling sensation from the noise. She clenched her fists and closed her eyes. Silence! Everyone instantly fell silent. Youre right, I sold all the shares in my hands, Lin Shanchu said with a serious expression. The shareholders looked at her in disbelief. How could you do this? Miss Lin, your actions are very dangerous Anyway, Ive already cut ties with Lu Shiyuan. Lu Corporation is also on the decline. Lin Shanchu looked indifferent as she continued, I dont know how long it will take for Lu Corporation to recover. I might as well sell it for some money! As soon as he finished speaking, the private room became even quieter. The shareholders obviously took Lin Shanchus words to heart. As for how everyone wants to make a decision, its up to you. Lu Corporation has nothing to do with me anymore. Dont contact me about Lu Corporations affairs in the future. Lin Shanchu looked around before she left with He Xiang. He Xiang was cautious along the way and did not speak. She only asked the question in her mind when she got into the car. Sister Lin, when did you sell your shares? I didnt sell them. I lied to them. Lin Shanchus tone was so calm that she did not sound like someone who had just lied. Huh? He Xiang was a little confused. The person who sold the shares was Lu Shiyuan. I lied to them so that they would follow suit and sell the shares. Lin Shanchu had a faint smile on her face. Her voice was soft, but He Xiang could sense the coldness in her tone. I dont understand, He Xiang said as she shook her head slowly. Lets go. Lin Shanchu did not say anything else. On the day Lu Qinghuais pledged shares were auctioned off, Lin Shanchu received a call from Lu Shiyuan. I have gathered the money. Lu Shiyuans voice sounded hoarse and tired over the phone. Lin Shanchu took Chu Gushen to meet Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan still looked haggard and tired, but his suit was neat and tidy. She could still see some traces of his past. Shanshan, I have gathered 300 million yuan. He looked at Lin Shanchu and showed her a fawning smile. Did you exchange your shares for money? Lin Shanchu asked coldly. Lu Shiyuan nodded. Lin Shanchu chuckled, Youre willing to do it. Lu Shiyuan also smiled. You are more important than Lu Corporation. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Chu Gushen. Lavvyer Chu, please. Chu Gushen smiled and turned to look at Lu Shiyuan. Mr. Lu, Ill handle the rest on behalf of my client. Shanshan Lin Shanchu left without looking back. She turned off her phone and went to Mount Xi Cemetery alone. She knelt in front of her parents graves, ced flowers and carefully arranged the offerings. Dad, Mom, Lu Corporation will no longer exist from today onwards. I wonder if you will me me It doesnt matter if you me me. I dont regret it anyway. Lin Shanchu stayed in the cemetery all day. When she left, the sky was already dark. She slowly walked out of the cemetery and turned on her phone. Unanswered calls and unread messages popped up. She should call He Xiang first to pick her up. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to dial the number, someone walked up to her. Shanshan. The persons deep and maic voice made Lin Shanchu pause for a moment. She slowly raised her head to look at the person in front of her. Huo Xunzhou must havee from a formal asion because he was wearing a suit and tie.. Chapter 323 - 323:#LinShanchuHasAbsoluteControllingInterestInLuCorporation Chapter 323 - 323:#LinShanchuHasAbsoluteControllingInterestInLuCorporation Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou stopped in front of her. When did youe here? Lin Shanchu asked. After the auction ended, I received a call from Nan Mu. He said that your manager and assistant couldnt find you, so I came over. Huo Xunzhou was referring to the auction where Lu Qinghuais pledged shares would be auctioned off. The auction ended
He had probablye over in the afternoon. Huo Xunzhou had been waiting for her all afternoon. Although she knew Huo Xunzhou had the ability and money, she asked, Did it go well? Huo Xunzhou nodded. Then, he reached out to her and said, You must be hungry. Lets go have dinner. Lin Shanchu ced her hand in his and asked, Why did you drive here yourself? Wheres Li MO? Huo Xunzhou replied, Hes busy. You bullied Li Mo. Lin Shanchuughed as she said, You made him do everything for you. Huo Xunzhouughed along with her. He pulled Lin Shanchu to the car door and opened it for her. His indifferent tone seemed to have a different meaning as he said, I trust him, and hes willing to do it. Lin Shanchu looked up at him. The smile in his eyes deepened as he looked straight into her eyes. On the way to the restaurant, Lin Shanchu kept dealing with all kinds of unread messages and missed calls. I didnt expect so many people would look for me after turning off the phone for more than ten hours. If it was in the past, no one would care even if she died outside alone. If she was lucky and met a kind-hearted person who called the police, the police would probably help her collect her corpse. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at Lin Shanchu. She lowered her eyes and held her phone with both hands. She was typing seriously and replying to the messages. Her expression was indifferent and the words she said just now seemed to be casual remark. Huo Xunzhou averted his gaze and said in a deep voice, Everyone is worried about you. Yeah. Lin Shanchu nodded in agreement. Everyone is worried about me, except you. Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was not convinced by her statement. Even Nan Mu called me three times, but you only called me once. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and snorted at him. Yeah, Nan Mu cares more about you than I do. Huo Xunzhou made a fuss about it and suggested, Why dont I make a call to invite him to have dinner with you? His tone was so gentle that it sent a chill down ones spine. Lin Shanchu did not seem to notice the abnormality in his tone and replied happily, Alright! If hees, you leave. Ill eat dinner with him. You wish! Huo Xunzhou said coldly with an expressionless look on his face. Lin Shanchu pouted, pretending to be angry. What a meanie! The mean Huo Xunzhou ignored her. He only called her once because he guessed that she might be at the cemetery, so he drove over directly. Deep down, Lin Shanchu understood this point. She messed with him like this just to change the subject. He knew better than anyone what she was thinking. Early in the morning, Lin Shanchus phone was flooded with all kinds of news and notifications. 99+ notifications were disyed on WeChat. 999+ notifications were disyed on Weibo. 99+ missed calls were disyed. What happened? Lin Shanchu rolled over and got up from the bed. After that, she grabbed her phone and went online with disheveled hair. #LuCorporationsLargestRestructuringChangeSinceItsListing #LuFatherAndSonHoldOnlY20%Shares #LinShanchuLu CorporationOver50%Shares #LinShanchuHasAbsoluteControllingInterestInLuCorporation #LuCorporationLinCorporation Lin Shanchu was speechless. Light footsteps were heard outside the door, as if someone was pacing back and forth behind the door. Lin Shanchu jumped off the bed and opened the door, only to find He Xiang pacing back and forth excitedly. Sister Lin, youre awake! He Xiang heard themotion and went forward to grab Lin Shanchus hand excitedly. Good Morning. Lin Shanchu stared at He Xiang for two seconds. She then tried to pull her hand away from He Xiangs, but she could not pull it away no matter how hard she tried. He Xiang looked at her with sparkling eyes. Sister Lin, are the news online true? Are you going to have the final say in Lu Corporation in the future? What should I do? Im so excited! I saw the news online at 3100 a.m.. I was so excited that I couldnt sleep Sister Lin, youre so amazing. Youre simply my god! Ahhh! Lin Shanchu pursed her lip and used a lot of strength to pull her hand away from He Xiangs. Im going out. Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief. Last time, Huo Xunzhou asked her if she wanted Lu Corporation to change its name into Lin Corporation. She thought she had made herself clear at the time. However, judging from the current situation, she could tell that Huo Xunzhou did not understand what she meant at all! She had to find him and ask him about it. Hey! Sister Lin! He Xiangs voice came from behind, but Lin Shanchu walked even faster. Shoes! Youre not wearing shoes! He Xiang chased after her anxiously with the shoes in her hands. Oh. Lin Shanchu put on her shoes and continued walking forward. He Xiang fell silent for two seconds before she said, Sister Lin, I think you should change your clothes, wash your face and have breakfast before going out. Lin Shanchu abruptly stopped in her tracks and looked down at her pajamas before she hurriedly retreated. Youre right! He Xiang looked at Lin Shanchus back as she hurried off. Then, she tilted her head and muttered to herself, This is the first time Ive seen Sister Lin at a loss. She seems to be overjoyed. As soon as He Xiang parked the car in front of Huo Xunzhous house, Lin Shanchu quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Sister-inw! Li MO ran over from the other end, sweating profusely. It was obvious that he had just returned from exercising. Lin Shanchu had the habit of waking up early, so it was only 8:00 a.m. when she came here by car after breakfast. Lin Shanchu turned to look at him. Is Huo Xunzhou home? Yes, Big Brother has an appointment with Lawyer Chu to discuss something. Hes at home all day today. Li MO knew Huo Xunzhous schedule like the back of his hand. Lin Shanchu turned around and walked into the vi. Seeing her serious expression, Li MO chased after her and asked concernedly, Did something happen? Yes. Lin Shanchu walked so fast that Li MO almost could not keep up with her. Li MO scratched his head and was lost in thought. Ever since Lu Shiyuan was caught red-handed in an affair with another woman, everything went well all of a sudden. Could it be that there was something he did not know? Lin Shanchu entered the living room and saw a folded newspaper on the sofa and a half-finished coffee on the coffee table. The coffee was still steaming hot. The newspaper seemed to have been casually thrown on the sofa. It was obvious that the person, who was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper just now, left them and ran away after hearing themotion outside. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath and went upstairs. He Xiang wanted to follow er but Li MO stopped her. The couple is going to discuss something. Dont follow them and disturb them. Youre right. He Xiang nodded and retreated. Im going to take a shower. You can y by yourself for a while. If you want some water, go to the kitchen and pour it yourself. Li MO had just finished exercising and was sweating profusely, so he had to take a shower first. He Xiang sat down on the sofa. Just as she took out her phone, someone walked into vi.. Chapter 324 - 324: A Scheming Man Chapter 324 - 324: A Scheming Man Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiang looked up and realized that it was someone she knew. She immediately stood up and greeted him. Lavvyer Chu. Chu Gushen strode into the vi just now. However, after seeing He Xiang, he slowed down for a moment and asked, Miss Lin is here?
Yes, Sister Lin just went upstairs. He Xiang replied honestly, She is discussing something with Teacher Huo. Chu Gushen pondered for a moment and nodded at He Xiang. Im going out to make a call. As soon as he stepped out, Chu Gushens rxed expression turned solemn. He found Huo Xunzhous number and dialed it. The phone rang a few times before Huo Xunzhou picked it up. Without waiting for Huo Xunzhou to speak, Chu Gushen said anxiously, I saw Miss Lins assistant downstairs. Miss Lin is here? I wont go upstairs then. Ille back after she leaves. Huo Xunzhou fell silent for two seconds before he said, Its okay. Ive already exined it to her. Come upstairs. Really? Chu Gushen could not discern if Huo Xunzhou was telling the truth, but based on his understanding of Huo Xunzhou, he somehow felt that Huo Xunzhou would trick him. After a moment of silence, Huo Xunzhou replied, Weve been working together for so long. Dont you even have a little bit of trust in me? Chu Gu felt that what Huo Xunzhou said made sense. Alright, Ill believe you this time. Huo Xunzhou hung up the phone. Then, he turned to Lin Shanchu with a gentle expression and said, Chu Gushen will be here soon. Lin Shanchu sat on the sofa with her arms crossed in front of him, ring at him. Huo Xunzhous expression looked natural and gentle as he slowly curled his fingers up on his knee. Lin Shanchu looked so cute when she was angry. He wanted to pinch her face. Unfortunately, the current situation was not suitable. In fact, Lin Shanchu had just kicked the door ande in. When she saw Huo Xunzhous calm expression, her anger almost subsided. However, she was putting on airs, so she could not just drop the angry pretense. Then, she would lose face. After clearing her throat, Lin Shanchu raised her chin slightly and said, Im really angry. I already told you that I dont know how to do business! You even gave me all the shares you bought! Youre forcing me to do things beyond my power! Im sorry. I didnt intend to do this at first, but Chu Gushen said that he had a way to get you to sign the entrustment agreement. Even if you dont show up, we can still carry out the share transaction Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and lowered his eyes with a sincere expression of repentance. Lin Shanchu had never seen him like this before. Her heart softened and she almost said, Its fine. Knock! Knock! A sudden knock on the door interrupted Lin Shanchus thoughts. Come in, Huo Xunzhou said loudly. Chu Gu pushed the door open and entered the study. Lin Shanchu smiled politely and asked, Lawyer Chu, you met my assistant downstairs, didnt you? Chu Gushens expression stiffened slightly before he turned to look at Huo Xunzhou in confusion. Huo Xunzhou lowered his head and poured tea for Lin Shanchu, as if he did not notice that Chu Gushen was in the study. Chu Gushen suddenly realized that Huo Xunzhou had probably sold him out. What happened to the so-called trust? Chu Gushen resigned himself to his fate and sat opposite Lin Shanchu. Yes, Miss Lin. I met your assistant downstairs. When you called Huo Xunzhou just now, I was right beside you. I heard everything you said. Chu Gushen gritted his teeth and nced at Huo Xunzhou. This traitor! Im very sorry about the entrustment agreement. Ive known President Huo for many years and worked with him many times. He said that he wanted to give his girlfriend a gift, so I helped hime up with a bad idea. Indeed, I am at fault in this matter. Chu Gushens tone was calm and sincere, but he had a helpless look on his face. Lin Shanchu nced at Huo Xunzhou and said, Lawyer Chu, youre too humble. Youve done me a great favor this time. How can I me you for such a small matter? Thank you for your understanding, Miss Lin, Chu Gushen said as he forced a smile. Lin Shanchu covered her mouth and coughed softly, trying to suppress the smile on her face. Lawyer Chu, you must havee to discuss something important, so Im not going to disturb you two. Take your time for discussion. It was better to leave the battlefield to these two scheming men. She more or less figured out what had happened. When Huo Xunzhou first tried to ask her if she wanted Lu Corporation to change its name into Lin Corporation, she rejected him. However, he did not give up. The equity transaction required the presence of the shareholder or their proxy. Huo Xunzhou knew that it was impossible for her to be present in person, so he asked Chu Gushen to tamper with the entrustment agreement she signed previously. Huo Xunzhou had a face that could make people lose their heads over lust, but she could not just be muddle-headed and believe his nonsense. She really did not expect that this scheming man, Huo Xunzhou, would shamelessly shift the me onto Chu Gushen. Chu Gushen swallowed his anger and epted the me. Lin Shanchu did not understand him, but she had a vague feeling that his image was ruined. She somewhat understood Wen Huans feelings. The atmosphere in the study changed right after Lin Shanchu left. Chu Gushen stood up furiously and yelled at Huo Xunzhou while tugging at his tie without any regard for his image. Huo Xunzhou, are you still human? Who begged me to think of a way to get Lin Shanchu to sign the entrustment agreement? Its me, Huo Xunzhou replied calmly. Chu Gushen became angrier as he shouted, And you made me a scapegoat! I want to terminate the contract with you! Ill terminate the contract now! In the next ten years. the legal fees will double. Huo Xunzhou said calmly. A trace of hesitation shed across Chu Gushens face. He silently sat on the sofa and did not relent. Forget it. Ill terminate the contract when it expires. Huo Xunzhou nced at him. Double. Chu Gu did not say anything. Huo Xunzhou added, Triple. Chu Gushen already started to calcte his profits for the next ten years. Since Since youre so sincere, lets redraft the contract! Chu Gushen had a reluctant look on his face, but he already impatiently took out theputer from his handbag to draft the contract on the spot. It was as if he was afraid that Huo Xunzhou would go back on his word. Chu Gushen drafted the contract on the spot and stared at Huo Xunzhou as he signed it. After Huo Xunzhou signed the contract, he watched Chu Gushen carefully put it into his bag with a faint smile. Chu Gushen raised his head and nced at him. Did I miss something? Huo Xunzhou slowly poured him a cup of tea. Have a cup of tea to cool down first. Chu Gushen took the cup of tea. Just as he was about to ce it near his mouth, an idea shed in his mind. Then, he abruptly turned around and looked at Huo Xunzhou. How much did you spend to buy Lu Corporations shares this time? You were the one who helped me work out the ounts. No one knows my financial situation better than you. A slight change of expression appeared on Chu Gushens calm and steady face.. Chapter 325 - 325: Wealth, Status, Power, and Stardom, None of These Things Could Keep Her Chapter 325: Wealth, Status, Power, and Stardom, None of These Things Could Keep Her Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Chu Gushen finished the cup of tea in one gulp with trembling hands, he mmed the empty cup on the coffee table. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at the ceiling above him. If he remembered correctly, Huo Xunzhou had mortgaged this vi for money to acquire Lu Corporations shares. Chu Gushen took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Mywyers fee You still have money to pay me, right? He did not believe that Huo Xunzhou could not even afford hiswyers fees. Huo Xunzhou did not answer Chu Gushen immediately. Instead, he poured another cup of tea for Chu Gushen. Chu Gushens eyelids twitched as he said, Tell me the truth. I can take it. Huo Xunzhou put down the teapot and said slowly, The legal fee can be deducted from my dividends. Huo Xunzhou had provided funds to Chu Gushensw firm in the early days, but he decided to invest in itter. Chu Gu was so angry that his head hurt. Huo Xunzhou! Do you believe that Ill ask your girlfriend for legal fees? Chu Gushen sneered, Anyway, the 300 million yuan that Lu Shiyuan owed her has been recovered. She has plenty of money now! Huo Xunzhou raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Gushen expressionlessly. Do you believe that Ill tell your future girlfriend who doesnt like you that youre trying to ask for money from a woman? Although Huo Xunzhou was beating around the bush, awyers mind was always clear. Chu Gushen immediately smiled proudly and asked, Do you know who she is? Do you know where she is? Ill find out after investigation, isnt that right? Huo Xunzhou smiled. Chu Gushen was speechless. Chu Gushen was bereft of speech. He folded his arms and turned away, not deigning to look at Huo Xunzhous annoying face. Ill introduce you to some big clients in Capital Cityter, Huo Xunzhou said as he nced at Chu Gushen. Chu Gushen felt that his head no longer hurt so much. Why did you spend so much effort to acquire Lu Corporation and give it to Miss Lin? I dont think she really wants Lu Corporation. If Lin Shanchu wanted Lu Corporation, Huo Xunzhou would not have requested him to tamper with the contract. You wouldnt understand even if I told you, Huo Xunzhou said as he lowered his eyes slightly. If you dont tell me, how do you know I dont understand? Chu Gushens anger had notpletely subsided and his tone was still a little aggressive. Not only did Huo Xunzhou not care about Chu Gushens tone, but he even chuckled. You dont have a girlfriend, so you wont understand it. Chu Gushen was speechless. He never thought that he would lose to Huo Xunzhou in a quarrel one day just because he did not have a girlfriend. The more two people get entangled, the closer they are in a rtionship, Huo Xunzhou said in a deep voice. Chu Gushen stared at Huo Xunzhou for a moment and said expressionlessly, Im afraid youre crazy! You wont understand it. Huo Xunzhou looked at him with disdain and pity. Im leaving. Chu Gushen was afraid that he would beat Huo Xunzhou up if he stayed there any longer. He was awyer. He had to be rational and elegant. He must nevery a hand on someone else. Huo Xunzhou said, I wont see you off. Chu Gushen quickly walked out, as if he was afraid that Huo Xunzhou would change his mind and see him off. After Chu Gushen left, the room fell silentpletely. Huo Xunzhou sat on the sofa with a calm expression. His eyes were unfocused as he looked ahead, a little distracted. After a while, Li MO pushed open the door and entered the study. Big brother? Do you have any cigarette? Huo Xunzhou asked. Wait for me. Li MO turned around and left. When he returned, he was holding a cigarette and a lighter. Huo Xunzhou took the cigarette and lighter. After that, he got up and walked to the window. He opened the window and slowly lit a cigarette. Li MO was trembling with fear as he watched from the side. Big brother, what happened? Although Li MO was not by Huo Xunzhous side in the past few years, he knew that Huo Xunzhou had been working non-stop before he retired from the industry. His schedule was full and he had endless scenes to shoot. In addition, he barely smoked because he had to take care of his voice to say the lines. Even after he retired from the entertainment industry, he rarely smoked unless he was upset. Li MO could not imagine what could have upset Huo Xunzhou. Im fine. After taking two puffs, Huo Xunzhou put his arm on the windowsill and looked at the smoke that was slowly drifting out. He knew that Lin Shanchu did not have any feelings for Lu Corporation, nor did she want it. He did it on purpose. He deliberately went against her wishes and went through a lot of trouble to acquire Lu Corporations shares for her. He wanted to let her know that there was someone in this world who was willing to go through all kinds of trouble and rack his brains for her. After all, Lin Shanchu was someone who could even give up her life when she was ruthless. If necessary, she could be a little more ruthless. Naturally, she would be willing to abandon him. Wealth, status, power, stardom, none of these things could keep her. Apart from these worldly possessions, he was left with only sincerity. He could even cut open this heart and show it to her. Sister Lin, weve circled around this street three times. As He Xiang drove, she turned to look at Lin Shanchus expression. However, Lin Shanchu was still in a daze. Lin Shanchu had been wearing this expression ever since she left Huo Xunzhous house. She did not know what Huo Xunzhou had told Lin Shanchu. After a while, Lin Shanchu finally came to her senses. He Xiang, what did you say? Nothing. He Xiang sighed. Lin Shanchu suddenly thought of something and turned to ask He Xiang, Do you know any bars that are open during the day? I know quite a few. In addition to dutifully taking care of Lin Shanchus daily life, He Xiang, as a highly-paid assistant, also joined several WeChat groups in the entertainment industry. Therefore, she knew a lot of fun ces with delicious food where they could avoid being followed by reporters. He Xiang noticed Lin Shanchus strange smile. Are you going to drink in broad daylight? she asked tentatively. Be good and dont tell Brother Qi. Ill give you a raise. Lin Shanchu revealed a tender smile. Who could withstand this? He Xiang quicklypromised. I will apany you then. No need. You should go back and rest. Ill ask Wen Huan out. That works too. With Wen Huan around, he definitely would not let Lin Shanchu be surrounded by reporters. After He Xiang drove Lin Shanchu to the bar, she waited for Wen Huan to arrive before leaving with a peace of mind. President Lin, you start drinking in the morning? Wen Huan smiled mockingly and sat down opposite Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu poured a ss of wine and ced it in front of Wen Huan. Does thew prohibit adults from drinking in the morning? All the reporters in the city are looking for you! Great, youre hiding here and drinking. Wen Huan raised his wine ss and clinked sses with her. Lin Shanchu swirled the wine ss and said, Even you couldnt find me, let alone them. Are youplimenting me or insulting me? Wen Huan looked at Lin Shanchu carefully for a moment and realized that she was not in the right mood. You even acquired Lu Corporation, but why do you still look unhappy? Lin Shanchu gazed deeply at him and said, You might not believe it if I tell you Chapter 326 - 326: No, I Am Not Chapter 326: No, I Am Not Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion What? When Wen Huan saw Lin Shanchus serious expression, he leaned forward curiously, waiting for some big news. Lin Shanchu lowered her voice and said seriously, 1 didnt acquire Lu Corporation. Huo Xunzhou acquired it and gave it to me. After Wen Huan heard those words, his eyes widened and he did not speak for a long time. Are you surprised? Lin Shanchu asked. Hahahahaha Wen Huan suddenlyughed out loud and replied, I treat you as a friend, but you treat me as a fool? Lin Shanchu pursed her lip speechlessly. Then, she said, This may sound outrageous, but it is the truth. Wen Huan waved his hand as he said, No way. Best Actor Huo couldnt have been love-struck. He began to analyze Huo Xunzhou from his perspective as a senior fan. Lets put aside his advantages like being rational, calm and smart that everyone knows. Judging from the incident where he tried to worm information out of me, I can tell that he is a sly person. How could such a sly person be love-struck? How could he give away such a big Lu Corporation that he acquired with great difficulty? Your analysis makes sense When Wen Huan heard Lin Shanchus words, he revealed an expression hinting that she was teasing him. Lin Shanchu sighed. But I really didnt lie to you.. Why do you think I could acquire Lu Corporation by myself? You have recovered from cancer. Isnt it normal that you could acquire Lu Corporation by yourself? Wen Huans overly serious expression caused Lin Shanchu to be deep in thought. In the end, Lin Shanchu swore an oath to make Wen Huan believe her. If I lie to you, Ill be killed by a car as soon as I go outside. Touch wood! Youve just recovered from your illness. What nonsense are you spouting? I believe you, okay? After that, Wen Huan forced Lin Shanchu to say touch wood three times before he stopped. Do you understand how I feel now? Lin Shanchu asked him. Wen Huan nodded, butter shook his head. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Wen Huan replied, I dont have 300 million yuan, nor do I have a controlling interest in a listedpany. Lin Shanchu lifted the wine pot and pretended to hit him. I should just kill you! Wen Huan quickly changed his tune. I understand how you feel. You just feel that Huo Xunzhous affection for you is too much and you feel stressed. Its not that Im under a lot of stress, but its just Lin Shanchu stammered for a long time before nodding. Just a little. Wen Huan crossed his arms and looked at Lin Shanchu carefully for a long time beforeing to a conclusion. Huo Xunzhou seems serious with that attitude of his. You are not trying to y with his feelings? No, I am not. Lin Shanchu quickly shook her head. Then why do you feel so stressed? Wen Huan continued, Its a pity that I am not a woman. If I were a woman, I would want to marry him. Lin Shanchu looked intently at him and asked, Havent you stopped being a fan of Huo Xunzhou because of his ruined image? Wen Huan replied, His image is ruined, but its been so long and my injuries have already healed. I can still continue to be his fan! Lin Shanchu was speechless. What a scheming man! I dont know what youre thinking, but youve got entangled with Best Actor Huo. He wont let you off the hook so easily. Wen Huans tone was filled with glee. Lin Shanchu smiled gently. Lets drink. In the afternoon, He Xiang rushed to the bar to pick Lin Shanchu up after receiving a call from her. Iming. Lin Shanchu sat on the sofa and smiled at He Xiang. She looked sober, not even tipsy. Wen Huan, who was sitting opposite her, was lying straight on the sofa. He had long passed out drunk. Why did Wen Huan drink so much? I got him drunk. The smile on Lin Shanchus face grew even radiant. He Xiang was speechless. Lin Shanchu paid for the drinks and told the bar owner to look after Wen Huan before she left with He Xiang. For the next few days, the news of Lin Shanchu bing the biggest shareholder of Lu Corporation was all over the Inte. Lin Shanchu barely went out in the past few days, nor had she contacted Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was tactful enough not to disturb her. However, Chu Gushen came to look for Lin Shanchu once. On the day Chu Gushen arrived, Qi Cheng happened to be at Lin Shanchus house discussing work with her. Chu Ji Shen came to Lin Shanchu for thewsuit in which Lu Shiyuan misappropriated her property. It was a long time ago and the amount was huge. Even if Lu Shiyuan returned the 300 million yuan to Lin Shanchu, she could still hold Lu Shiyuan criminally responsible. Lu Shiyuan has returned all the money. We can still insist on suing him, but in terms of sentencing, the judge may exercise their discretion to reduce his punishment. He will serve a two-year jail sentence at most. Chu Gushen knew that Lin Shanchu would insist on suing Lu Shiyuan even if she got the money. However, he wanted to confirm her thoughts. Lin Shanchu nodded to express her understanding. Ill leave the rest of the prosecution to you. No problem. Chu Gushen nodded slightly. Since Chu Gushen finished talking about the matter, he should have left by now. However, he was still sitting there without moving an inch. Is there anything else, Lawyer Chu? Lin Shanchu asked. Chu Gushen smiled and took out a stack of business cards from his bag. Miss Lin, your friends in the entertainment industry can look for me if they have financial problems. If she understood it correctly, it seemed that Chu Gushen wanted her to get more clients for him. Would a top-notchwyer like Chu Gushenck business? Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment before taking the business cards. Alright. Thank you, Miss Lin, Chu Gushen said as he stood up. Huo Xunzhou told him not to ask Lin Shanchu for money. However, Huo Xunzhou did not say that he could not ask her to find clients for him. Celebrities had high sries, so their legal fees would definitely be high. He could only think of ways to earn the money he lost from Huo Xunzhou. When Lin Shanchu saw Chu Gushen off, she couldnt help but ask, Excuse me Lawyer Chu, is there a problem with your financial situation recently? If Chu Gushen was not particrly short of money, he probably would not have taken the initiative to ask her to get him more clients. Chu Gushen was of a great help to her and she happened to have money with her. If he needed money, she was willing to lend him some. It is a small problem, but I can still manage it. Chu Gushen inwardly cursed Huo Xunzhou with a smile on his face. Lin Shanchu felt that Chu Gushens smile was a little forced. It seemed that his financial situation was indeed problematic. Since Chu Gushen said that he could still manage it, she did not ask further questions. Oh right, Lavvyer Chu, theres one more thing Lin Shanchu nced into the house and saw that He Xiang and Qi Cheng were talking without paying attention to her. Then, she lowered her voice and said to Chu Gushen, I need to make some changes to the shares in my will. Do you need to change the inheritor of the shares? Chu Gushen asked her thoughtfully. Lin Shanchu shook her head. Alright, replied Chu Gushen. Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu were really interesting. One racked his brains to acquire the shares of Lu Corporation and force it on Lin Shanchu. The other one made a will at such a young age for Huo Xunzhou to inherit all her shares.. Chapter 327 - 327: Where Is She Going? Chapter 327: Where Is She Going? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After pondering for a moment, Lin Shanchu added., Please help me settle this matter as soon as possible, Lawyer Chu. The way Chu Gushen looked at Lin Shanchu changed as he said, Alright. Lin Shanchu knew that Chu Gushen might have misunderstood something, so she exined, Im going to work in another city in the next few days, so I wont be in Xu City for a while. Chu Gushen nodded slightly to show that he understood. Lin Shanchu walked Chu Gushen to the elevator and watched the elevator doors closed before she turned around to leave. In the elevator, Chu Gushen sighed regretfully. He really wanted to tell Huo Xunzhou about Lin Shanchus will. If Huo Xunzhou did not die in front of Lin Shanchu in this life, he would be furious because those shares would still return to him in the end! Unfortunately, he was a professional person and could not do such a thing. Lin Shanchu returned to the living room and saw Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng heard themotion and looked up at her. He Xiang went to cook. Lin Shanchu nodded. Then, she sat down in front of Qi Cheng and sized him up seriously. Qi Cheng was leaning against the sofa. He lowered his eyes slightly and sped his hands in front of him, looking a little down. Brother Qi, Lu Shiyuans matter wont be settled just like that. Before Chu Gushen came, Qi Cheng was still fine. He must have thought of Jing Ming when he heard Chu Gushen mention Lu Shiyuan. Qi Cheng looked at her in surprise. Lu Shiyuan is not someone who will resign to his fate. Even if Chu Gushen helps me win thewsuit, it is impossible for him to turn over a new leaf in prison. Moreover, he doesnt deserve a chance to start over again. Lin Shanchus tone was casual and soft. Her calm demeanor made her look unusually gentle and harmless. Qi Cheng had been her manager for so long that he already knew her personality, but sometimes he was still confused by her harmless appearance. But the evidence is gone, Qi Cheng said with solemn look on his face. Lin Shanchu replied with a faint smile, As long as Lu Shiyuan is alive, these things wont be over. Shanshan Qi Chengs heart skipped a beat as he vaguely heard the strangeness in Lin Shanchus words. You Lin Shanchu calmly changed the topic. I have something to deal with during the day tomorrow. We can book tickets for the night and fly directly to Capital City. Qi Cheng wanted to say something, but Lin Shanchu had gotten up and was walking towards the kitchen. He Xiang, how much longer before we can eat? Im hungry The next day, Lin Shanchu finished dealing with the will and went to Tianzhou Media. When they were about to reach Tianzhou Media, Qi Cheng called Nan Mu. After Qi Cheng had a simple conversation with Nan Mu, he hung up the phone and turned to Lin Shanchu. President Huo is not in thepany. Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief and tried to sound as if she did not care about it. Oh. Qi Cheng looked at her with a faint smile and did not say anything. When they arrived at Tianzhou Media, Qi Cheng deliberately walked behind Lin Shanchu and asked He Xiang, Whats going on between Shanshan and President Huo? I dont know. He Xiang said solemnly, After Sister Lin went to look for Teacher Huo on that day, she asked Wen Huan out for a drink. She went out for a drink? Qi Cheng caught the key point in her words. He Xiang realized that it was a slip of the tongue, so she quickly pulled Qi Cheng and said, Brother Qi, hear me out. Sister Lin didnt drink much at that time, but Wen Huan was drunk until he passed out. Qi Chengs expression softened a little and he pointed at He Xiangs head. Dont you know how to manage her? Dont give in to her! How can I manage her? He Xiang asked helplessly. Qi Cheng was speechless. Nan Mu heard Lin Shanchus n and frowned slightly. You are going to leave at night? Why are you in such a hurry? Ive rested for too long, Lin Shanchu exined. Thats true. Nan Mu was very pleased with Lin Shanchus positive attitude and said, Then lets have dinner together tonight. I wont see you off when you leave. Xunzhou will see you off anyway. Lin Shanchu nced at Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng understood her intention and said, The flight is at 8:00 p.m. Theres no time for dinner. We still have to go back and pack our things. Thats fine. Xunzhou knows more people in Capital City than I do. Just look for him if you ever need a favor! Nan Mu fell silent for a moment before he continued, You can look for Huo Chaosheng if you have no other choice. Even though Huo Chaosheng was a little weird, he still treated Lin Shanchu well. Lin Shanchu smiled and nodded. Got it. Thank you, Director Nan. Lin Shanchu and the others packed their things and set off for the airport at 5:00 p.m. Lin Shanchu took the lead and got into the car. Qi Cheng and He Xiang were pushing and shoving each other outside the car as they muttered something. Say it. Im not going to. You should say it! How about we decide it through rock-paper-scissors? Alright! He Xiang lost. She resigned herself to her fate and turned around to get into the car. Then, she asked Lin Shanchu cautiously, Sister Lin, are you really not going to tell Teacher Huo? Lin Shanchu, who was humming a song and in a good mood, froze before she said, Im not going to tell him. He Xiang turned to look at Qi Cheng. Lets hurry up. Theres going to be a traffic jamter. Qi Cheng quickly opened the car door and got into the car. Nan Mu had a dinner party at Yong Shui Pavilion tonight. When he went to the restroom, he remembered that Lin Shanchu was going to fly to Capital City tonight. He was about to call her to check on the situation, but he saw that it was already close to 8:00 p.m. They had probably boarded the ne by now. Nan Mu made a call and indeed heard a mechanical female voice. Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Nan Mu hung up the phone. He saw Huo Xunzhou in the hall when he was going to return to the private room. Huo Xunzhou was apanied by Li MO and Chu Gushen who was sitting opposite him. Xunzhou? Nan Mu walked over and nodded at Chu Gushen before asking Huo Xunzhou, Why are you here? The airport was quite far from Yong Shui Pavilion, and it took nearly two hours to drive for an one-way trip. Logically speaking, Huo Xunzhou should have been on his way back from the airport. What do you mean? Huo Xunzhou asked calmly. Nan Mu did not realize what the problem was at this point, so he asked nkly, You didnt see Shanshan off? Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a moment before he slowly asked, Where is she going? Huo Xunzhou stopped talking and narrowed his eyes so that Nan Mu could not see the expression in his eyes. However, judging from Nan Mus years of experience with him, Huo Xunzhou probably did not know that Lin Shanchu was going to Capital City tonight. Everyone else is waiting for me. Ill return to the private room first Nan Mu saw that the situation was unfavorable and wanted to take the opportunity to escape. Did she look for you before she went to Capital City? Huo Xunzhou asked. Yes. Nan Mu dared not say that Lin Shanchu had gone to the office to tell him about it. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything else. Then, Nan Mu turned around and ran away. Li MO carefully observed Huo Xunzhous expression and dared not say a word. He just silently picked up some food and ate it. Chu Gu, who was holding a grudge, looked at Huo Xunzhou and deliberately provoked him.. Whats wrong? Dont you know that Miss Lin is going to Capital City? Chapter 328 - 328: Unspoken Rules Chapter 328: Unspoken Rules Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou looked at Chu Gushen expressionlessly. You know about this matter too? When I went to Miss Lins house yesterday to discuss some matters, I heard her mention that she was going to work elsewhere in the next few days. Chu Gushen was paying attention to Huo Xunzhous expression as he spoke. When he noticed that Huo Xunzhou grimaced gradually, he felt relieved. Isnt she your girlfriend? Chu Gushen added fuel to the fire. Why didnt she tell you about it? Do you know the fun between lovers? Huo Xunzhouughed in anger. I really dont understand Chu Gushen nodded seriously. They were clearly in conflict, but he had to say it was fun. He really did not understand this kind of fun. Li MO was a little afraid that the two of them would start fighting, so he quickly interrupted Chu Gushen, Lawyer Chu, lets eat something. Li MO frantically picked up food for Chu Gushen and poured him wine. Drink some wine. Chu Gushen knew that he should stop and did not continue to provoke Huo Xunzhou. On the way home, Li MO observed Huo Xunzhous expression through the rearview mirror from time to time. The rear window was half-open and Huo Xunzhou kept turning his head to look at the streetscape outside. Li MO could not tell what Huo Xunzhou was thinking, but he could feel that he did not seem angry. Li MO mustered the courage and asked, Big Brother, arent you angry? What do you think? Huo Xunzhou knew that Li MO was talking about Lin Shanchu sneaking off by airne. How could he not get angry? However, what could he do if he got angry? It was true that he had pushed her a little too hard. It was not a bad idea for him to give her some leeway. However, from another perspective, his efforts were not in vain. She ran away because she had read his mind. An indescribable sense of relief rose in Li Mot s heart. Ever since Huo Xunzhou fell in love, he looked calm even when he was angry. It was good to be in love. It was good to have a sister-inw. Li MO felt happy for a brief moment before he thought of serious matters. A shareholder meeting will be held at Lu Corporation tomorrow. Sister-inw has gone to Capital City, so who is going to attend the shareholder meeting? Huo Xunzhou had secretly acquired the shares of Lu Corporation, but on the surface, he had nothing to do with thepany. Naturally, he could not go to the shareholder meeting at Lu Corporation. She has gone to Capital City, but herwyer is still in Xu City, isnt he? Huo Xunzhou smiled slowly. Yes. Li MO secretly prayed for Chu Gushen. It was alreadyte at night when Lin Shanchu and the others left the airport with their luggage. The brand owner sent a car over to pick them up. The driver was a young man in a suit and leather shoes and he drove a luxury car. Lin Shanchu epted an event for a jewelry brand this time. The other party had agreed that as long as she was willing to participate in the event, the remuneration and subsequent cooperation would not be a problem. My name is Yu Cheng. The driver introduced himself politely and opened the car door for Lin Shanchu respectfully. Miss Lin, please get in the car. Thank you. Before Lin Shanchu got into the car, she nced at Yu Chengs suit. Yu Cheng looked young, but he looked knowledgeable and experienced. No matter what Qi Cheng and the others said along the way, he could chat with them. After Yu Cheng drove them to the hotel to settle down, a waiter brought them supper. Your flight was at 8:00 a.m., so I guess you didnt have dinner in time, Yu Cheng exined, I took it upon myself to order supper for you guys in advance. Sorry to trouble you. Qi Cheng, who used to be a top manager, felt that Yu Cheng was too thoughtful. Thats what I should do. After Yu Cheng finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Lin Shanchu and asked, Miss Lin, are you free afternoon or evening tomorrow? Lin Shanchu looked up at him with a questioning expression. Yu Cheng continued, Well, our boss wants to organize a dinner party to wee you. The boss personally organized a dinner party to wee her? No matter how she heard him, she felt there was some implicit meaning behind those words. Qi Cheng and He Xiang looked at each other and saw vignce in each others eyes. Just as Qi Cheng was about to speak, Lin Shanchu interrupted him. Im fine with anything ording to your bosss schedule and arrangement. Alright, Ill take my leave. See you tomorrow. As soon as Yu Cheng left, He Xiang quickly closed the door. Sister Lin, why is this brand owner so attentive? Could it be that their boss covets your beauty and tries to y by unspoken rules? The more He Xiang thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. That must be the case. Some brand owners think that theyre amazing just because they have plenty of money. They think that all women want their filthy money. Maybe its because the brand owner admires my ability? Lin Shanchu replied as she smiledzily. The ability to cause trouble? Qi Cheng asked faintly. Lin Shanchu was taken aback and said seriously, Yu Cheng is wearing a custom-made suit. Judging from the cut of the fabric, that suit is at least worth tens of thousands of yuan. Are all the drivers in Capital City so rich? He Xiang asked in surprise. Her monthly sry was only enough for Yu Cheng to buy a suit! Qi Cheng could not help butugh. Is there a possibility that Yu Chengs main job is not a driver? He Xiang suddenly realized it and asked, Then what does he work as? Lin Shanchu tilted her head and thought for a while before she said, He is probably a high-level special assistant like Zhou Yan. The brand owner actually dispatched their special assistant to pick us up? He Xiang looked terrified as she said, This boss must have taken a fancy to Sister Lins beauty. Show me the information on the brand owner again. Lin Shanchu declined toment on it. He Xiang sent the softcopy information to Lin Shanchus phone. Lin Shanchu read the information as she ate supper. This jewelry brand was new and it had only been established for about ten years but it was deeply loved by young people because of its unique design. It was far ahead of other jewelry brands with the same positioning and it had been the best-selling brand for five consecutive years. Lin Shanchu turned to Qi Cheng and asked, Is this all the information? Qi Cheng replied, It has everything about the brands concept and history. What else do you need? Lin Shanchu said, The bosss information. Isnt the brand managers name written here? Qi Cheng pointed at the name in the document and showed her. Qi Cheng and Lin Shanchu looked at each other for a moment before he understood her. Are you talking about the patron who provided the money behind the scenes? I dont know. Lin Shanchu put her phone aside and said, Its alright. Well know who it is tomorrow. Lin Shanchu got up at around 10:00 a.m. the next day because she slepttest night. The brand owner had booked arge suite for them. After Lin Shanchu washed up and changed her clothes, she saw Qi Cheng sitting on the sofa. Qi Cheng heard themotion and looked up at Lin Shanchu. Then, he quickly looked down at the phone screen and continued to send messages. Yu Cheng called me just now and said that his boss wants to meet you at the revolving restaurant of Boya Hotel for lunch. Such a grand arrangement? Although Lin Shanchu came to Capital City for the first time, she had heard of the rumor that if one ate at Boya Hotel for three days, they would go bankrupt for three generations.. Chapter 329 - 329: Did She Look That Funny? Chapter 329: Did She Look That Funny? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiang, who pushed open the balcony door and walked in, just happened to hear what Lin Shanchu said. What arrangement? The boss of the jewelry brand invited Shanshan to have dinner at the revolving restaurant of Boya Hotel, Qi Cheng exined with a smile. Boya Hotel? He Xiangs eyes widened as she asked, Do I have to wear a gown to dine in such a ce? But I dont have a gown Qi Cheng put down his phone and nced at Lin Shanchu before he said to He Xiang, What were you thinking? The boss invited Shanshan to have dinner together. Oh. He Xiang replied worriedly, This boss is indeed up to no good. He asked Sister Lin out for dinner. He must have taken a fancy to Sister Lins beauty. Speechless, Lin Shanchu had mixed feelings. She did not know whether she should be happy that He Xiang had acknowledged her beauty or should get angry that she was just a pretty face in He Xiangs eyes. The hotel Lin Shanchu was staying at was very close to Boya Hotel, where it took about half an hours drive. Yu Cheng drove over to pick Lin Shanchu up at 11:30 a.m. Before Lin Shanchu got into the car, He Xiang sneakily stuffed a red spray bottle with the words perfume on it. Sister Lin, dont forget to replenish your perfume when necessary. Judging from He Xiangs look, Lin Shanchu knew that the bottle was not filled with perfume. However, Lin Shanchu did not ask further questions in front of Yu Cheng. After getting into the car, Lin Shanchu sent He Xiang a WeChat message. Lin Shanchu: [What exactly did you give me?] He Xiang: [Pepper spray.] Lin Shanchu: He Xiang: [I bought it when I was in Xu City and always carried it with me.] Lin Shanchu did not know whether tough or cry. He Xiang was really she was quite vignt. The pay raise she gave He Xiang was not in vain. He Xiang was simply a mother-level assistant. Lin Shanchu continued chatting with He Xiang until Yu Chengs voice rang out. Weve arrived, Miss Lin. The car had stopped. Lin Shanchu turned her head and looked out of the window. Indeed, they had arrived at the entrance of Boya Hotel. It happened to be lunchtime. When Yu Cheng escorted Lin Shanchu into the restaurant, it was filled with people. Yu Cheng took Lin Shanchu to the best spot in the revolving restaurant. The brands boss was already sitting at the dining table. From Lin Shanchus angle, she could only see his back. The boss was dressed in a gray suit and sat elegantly. He was flipping through a magazine to pass the time, as if he had been waiting for a long time. Yu Cheng stood behind him. Boss, Miss Lin is here. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at the brands boss curiously, but the boss suddenly stood up and turned around. Lin Shanchu was so stunned that she forgot to keep her head straight and blurted out, President Yun. She almost called out Yun Yis full name. It was indeed someone she knew. Before she came over, she had guessed that it was Yun Yi. However, when Yun Yi left Xu Cityst time, she did not have a particrly pleasant conversation with him. Moreover, he was the president of Yun Ding Corporation, so he must be very busy. Therefore, she was not sure if it was Yun Yi. Yu Cheng said, Boss, Im leaving. Yun Yi nodded at him. A waiter came over to help Lin Shanchu pull out the chair. After Lin Shanchu sat down, Yun Yi smiled and said, There are no outsiders now, so theres no need to be so distant. Perhaps it was because he had been taking care of his younger siblings for many years as the eldest brother, his smile revealed the kind love of an elder. Lin Shanchus parents passed away when she was six years old. She did not have much experience with elders, so she was at a loss. If she smiled and brushed it off like usual, she would seem a little hypocritical. Thus, Lin Shanchu could only look at Yun Yi expressionlessly. Yun Yi was amused. He put his hand on his forehead and chuckled for a while before he forced himself to stopughing. Then, he raised his head and reminded her helplessly, Call me Big Brother. Lin Shanchu did not know what was so funny. Her friends already knew about her rtionship with Huo Xunzhou. Yun Wu must have told Yun Yi as well. It was normal for her to follow Huo Xunzhou and call him Big Brother. Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before calling out expressionlessly, Big brother. Yun Yi was amused by Lin Shanchus expression. He sped his hands together in front of his forehead and stifled augh. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Did she look that funny? Soon, Yun Yi adjusted his expression and returned to his usual gentle and elegant appearance. Lets order food. Lin Shanchu did not stand on ceremony with him. She did not even look at the price and just ordered some dishes that looked beautiful and delicious. After ordering the dishes, she handed the menu to Yun Yi and turned to look out the window. The revolving restaurant had an excellent view where she could look down at more than half of Capital City. Is Capital City better than Xu City? Yun Yi finished ordering at some point and turned to look out the window. Of course. Lin Shanchus gaze stillnded outside the window. You should stay in Capital City then, Yun Yi said indifferently as if he was casually mentioning it. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Yun Yi without a word. Yun Yi smiled warmly and changed the topic. The two of them chatted from time to time and there was no silence throughout the lunch. As the two of them walked out of the restaurant after lunch, Lin Shanchu suddenly remembered to ask him about the jewelry brand. You mean this Yun Wu loved those shiny jewelry when she was a child, so Grandpa used his own money to set up a jewelry brand for her. Yun Yiughed softly as he said, When she grew upter, she no longer loved jewelry, but the brand has to be managed, so I took over. I see. This jewelry brand was considered the Yun familys private property. It had no business or financial dealings with the Yun Ding Group, nor did it have anything to do with Yun Ding Group at all. Yu Cheng was waiting at the entrance. Boss! Miss Lin. Lin Shanchu and Yun Yi got into the car together. Drive Shanshan back to the hotel first, Yun Yi instructed Yu Cheng. This big brother was really not distant at all Yun Yi turned his head and looked at her. I think thats what Yun Wu calls you. You dont mind, do you? He did not give Lin Shanchu the chance to say that she minded and changed the topic. Im a little busy. When Second Brotheres back in a few days, Ill ask him to bring you around Capital City. Oh, and Yun Yi spoke at a normal speed, not giving Lin Shanchu a chance to interrupt him. Finally, it seemed that he could tell that Lin Shanchu had something to say, so he asked her, Whats the matter? There are paparazzi. Lin Shanchu sighed Its fine, Yun Yi said with a smile. Lin Shanchu thought Yun Yi would take care of the paparazzi . However, when she returned to the hotel, she realized that she had misunderstood Yun Yi. When Lin Shanchu returned to the hotel, both Qi Cheng and He Xiang gazed deeply at her. Whats wrong? she asked. He Xiang handed her her phone and pointed at a trending topic #LinShanchuAndYunYi,PresidentofYunDingGroup,AppearedatBoyaHotel.. Chapter 330 - 330: Based on the Current Situation, I Love You By Not Killing You Chapter 330: Based on the Current Situation, I Love You By Not Killing You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There were all kinds ofments under this trending topic: [When did Lin Shanchu go to Capital City? Wasnt she going to attend Lu Corporations shareholder meeting? Why was there no news at all?] [Lin Shanchu and Yun Yi? What? When did she hook up with the Yun family?] [Huo Chaosheng was dumped?] [I only say it once! Awesome!] [I just went online to search for Yun Ding Corporation. Its said that its a wealthy family in the upper-ss circle of Capital City. It was prosperous in the early years, but their old president stepped down after his daughters death. After that, the Yun family became more and more low-key.] [It sounds quite amazing. So Sister Rabbit has fallen in love with someone else?] [All of them praised Lin Shanchu so much, as if every man likes her. Shes just an unpopr celebrity who doesnt even have a fan to pick her up at the airport.] [No way? Now, there are still people saying that Sister Lin is a unpopr celebrity?] [I realized that someizens have been ndering Sister Rabbit recently. Theymented that Sister Rabbit is ugly, an unpopr celebrity and that no one likes her] Lin Shanchu looked at Qi Cheng and asked, Hasnt that person stopped hiring Inte trolls to nder me for not being worthy of Huo Chaosheng? He Xiang said, Thats not the point. Qi Cheng asked, Whats going on with the trending list? Hes the one who had lunch with me. Lin Shanchu looked at her phone again and said, Ill have to ask him about the trending topic. Both He Xiang and Qi Cheng stared at her, indicating for her to ask him quickly. Lin Shanchu took out her phone and fell silent for a moment before she said, I dont have his contact information. The room fell into an awkvvard silence. The next second, Lin Shanchus phone vibrated. Yun Wu sent her a WeChat message: [Shanshan, I sent your WeChat contact to my elder brother. Remember to approve his friend request on WeChatter.] Before Lin Shanchu could reply, she received a friend request from Yun Yi. After adding him as a friend, Yun Yi immediately sent a message: [Dont worry about the trending topic. It has been cleared up.] Lin Shanchu: [Thank you, Big Brother.] Yun Yi replied instantly: [Its what a big brother should do.] Yun Yis reply speed was so fast that Lin Shanchu felt like he was pleased and enjoying himself. Lin Shanchu did not understand him. If Yun Yi had gotten rid of the paparazzi earlier, this incident would not have happened. He Xiang shouted excitedly, Yun Wu and Yun Yi have cleared up the trending topic. Lin Shanchu was stunned and snatched He Xiangs phone away. Glimmer Girls-Yun Wu V: [I asked my brother to give Shanshan a wee, but I didnt expect it to be trending! Even Shanshan looks so pretty in these blurry photos [Sparkling Eyes] #LinShanchuAndYunYi,PresidentofYunDingGroup,AppearedatBoyaHotel [Image][lmage]] The photos of Lin Shanchu being photographed by the paparazzi were attached to the post. The paparazzi in Capital City had average photography skills, far inferior to Wen Huans. Yun Yi reposted Yun Wus Weibo post andmented: [Transfer the lunch money to me.] Thements section: [Ahhhh! Yun Wu is so nice to Sister Rabbit. I ship LinYun pairing the most!] [Yun Yi is Yun Wus brother?] [A friends brother? Thats also a good ship, isnt it?] [My president brother/ my top-notch sister-inw/ This setting is really amazing! ] [Its not the sister-inw! It was clearly a rich dancing boss and her beautiful girlfriend who is good at acting! [Smile gradually goes crazy.jpg]] [My idol turns out to be the hidden daughter of a rich family!] [LinYun pairing is being lovey-dovey. Hehe Hehe Hehehe] In the beginning, some people were seriously discussing Yun Wus family background and Yun Yi, but after the pairing was brought up, thements gradually became perverted. He Xiang, a shipper of the pairing, felt a little embarrassed when she saw thosements. After interacting with Yun Wu and Yun Wu on Weibo, Lin Shanchu logged out and went back to her room to rest. Whats wrong with Sister Lin? He Xiang sensed the change in Lin Shanchus mood and lowered her head to talk to Qi Cheng in a low voice. Qi Cheng shook his head without a word. After Lin Shanchu returned to her room, she received WeChat messages from Huo Chaosheng. The messages flooded the screen: [You didnt inform me that you wereing to Capital City?] [You actually became trending with someone else behind my back!] [Cant I afford dining at a revolving restaurant?] [Just you wait. See you at the revolving restaurant tonight.] Lin Shanchus reply was simple: [Im not going.] Huo Chaosheng: [Are you still a human?] Lin Shanchu: [Im not a human.] Huo Chaosheng: Huo Chaosheng was probably angry, so he quickly sent another emoji over: [Based on the current situation, I love you by not killing you.jpg] Lin Shanchuughed. This emoticon was indeed Huo Chaoshengs truest thoughts. Lin Shanchu patiently exined to him: [I have to participate in the brand event tomorrow, so I have to rest well tonight. Ill hang out with you after the event.] Huo Chaoshengs anger was instantly subsided as he replied slowly: [Alright then. ] Lin Shanchu put her phone aside and charged it. She closed her eyes andy on the bed, unable to fall asleep. She took her phone and replied to Yun Wu: [Thank you.] Yun Wu was probably busy and did not reply to her. Yun Yi allowed the paparazzi to take photos of them and made them trending to let others know that Lin Shanchu was a person protected by the Yun family in Capital City. If anyone with ill intent wanted to harm Lin Shanchu, they would have to think twice for the sake of the Yun family. Yun Yi did his best because he epted people unconditionally. He was really a good big brother. Lin Shanchu felt that it was surreal, as if she had finally received the blessing of fate where everything was developing in a good direction and would go smoothly. Lu Corporation. In the meeting room, the shareholders arrived one after another. Lu Qinghuai was embarrassed about the loan and did not dare toe to the meeting, so he asked Lu Shiyuan toe over in his ce. Lu Shiyuan had not seen the trending list yet. He thought that Lin Shanchu woulde too, so he looked out the door from time to time. Lu Shiyuans expression changed slightly when he saw Chu Gushen push the door open and enter the room. Wheres Shanshan? he asked Chu Gushen. Chu Gushen ignored Lu Shiyuan. He walked to the power seat and nodded slightly. Then, he said with a serious expression, Im Miss Linsvvyer. Ill be attending todays shareholder meeting on her behalf. ording to Miss Lin, she actually wants to choose a capable person from the shareholders who can manage thepany. Is there anyone who is willing to volunteer? The noisy meeting room suddenly quieted down. Lu Corporation had gone through such a huge change. Now, it was a mess. No one dared to take over thepany, nor could anyone clean up this mess. At this moment, Lu Shiyuan said, I can do it. Im sorry, Mr. Lu. Chu Gushen politely refused him. Youre not a shareholder of thepany. Miss Lin has also specifically instructed that people with the surname Lu cannot participate in the management of thepany. You Just as Lu Shiyuan was just about to speak angrily, Chu Gushen interrupted him, Besides, youre involved in awsuit. Youd better cooperate with the police investigation and deal with your own matters. Lu Shiyuan followed Chu Gushens line of sight toward the door and saw the police who had arrived at some point.. Chapter 331 - 331: Even A Pervert Thought That She Was Inhuman Chapter 331: Even A Pervert Thought That She Was Inhuman Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lu Shiyuans detention became trending. This news was first reported by Wen Huan. When Chu Gushen contacted Lin Shanchu to report the situation to her, she was reading thements under the trending topic. [Hes really been detained? Didnt Lu Shiyuan sell all his shares to raise 300 million yuan for Lin Shanchu?] [Does anyone think that Lin Shanchu is really a rabbit just because everyone calls her Sister Rabbit? Moreover, even a rabbit will bite someone when it is anxious.] [From Lin Shanchus point of view, Lu Shiyuans actions over the years are simply innumerable. She lets him off easy by sending him to jail.] [If I were Lin Shanchu with 300 million yuan, I would bribe a killer to assassinate Lu Shiyuan.] When she saw thements, Chu Gushen called her. Lin Shanchu answered the phone. Chu Gushen briefly told Lin Shanchu about the shareholder meeting and Lu Shiyuan. ording to your request, a professional manager will temporarily take over Lu Corporation and manage it. Although it will be difficult for Lu Corporation to return to its previous state after encountering such a crisis, it should not be difficult to maintain its operations in the future Lin Shanchu had no interest in the future development and operations of Lu Corporation. She politely interrupted Chu Gushen as she did not have the patience to continue listening to him. Thank you for your hard work, Lawyer Chu. Chu Gushen vaguely sensed that Lin Shanchu was not interested in Lu Corporation, so he did not continue talking about it. Lu Shiyuans case is progressing in an orderly manner. I understand. Im very confident in your work. Thank you, Lawyer Chu. Both parties exchanged a few simple words before hanging up the phone. After Lin Shanchu hung up the phone, Chu Gushen looked at the phone screen and exited the call interface. Then, he looked up at Huo Xunzhou across the room. You came all the way here just to urge me to call Miss Lin? Huo Xunzhou looked away and said casually, I had nothing to do anyway, so I just dropped by. Chu Gushen sneered as his mocking tone carried a trace of pity. I wont expose you. Huo Xunzhou was really pitiful. He did not even dare to make a phone call after quarreling with his girlfriend. He could onlye over and urge him to call Lin Shanchu so that he could hear her voice. Huo Xunzhou pursed his lip and tapped the armrest of his wheelchair. Li MO, lets go. The jewelry brands event would be held in the next afternoon and there would be a dinner party after the event. The next day, Lin Shanchu started to style before dawn. He Xiang went out to pick up the gown and called Lin Shanchu after a short while. The director suddenly said that they cant lend us the gown. Lin Shanchus gown for the event belonged to a haute couture brand that she had contacted beforeing to Capital City. This haute couture brand owner contacted Lin Shanchu a long time ago and took the initiative to lend her a gown. However, Lin Shanchu did not attend many assions where she had to wear a gown recently, so she had no been able to wear the gown that belonged to this brand. Lin Shanchuforted her gently. Dont worry, He Xiang, you bettere back first. Okay, Ill be right back. When He Xiang hung up the phone, her emotions already calmed down a lot. Lin Shanchu looked up at the silent Qi Cheng. Brother Qi, its only my second day in Capital City, but the person who hired the Inte trolls to nder me is already trying to make things difficult for me. When He Xiang contacted the haute couture brand ownerst night, Lin Shanchu was right beside her. They were so happyst night that they said they would deliver the gown to her this morning, but they changed their minds at the eleventh hour today. It was only one night and she had no scandals. If someone had not pulling the strings, they would not have done such a thing to offend her. How can you be sure its her? Qi Cheng guessed. Could it be Tang Qidai? Her? Lin Shanchu chuckled, An illegitimate daughter on probation is not capable of doing something like this. Thats true Qi Cheng nodded in agreement and quickly changed the topic. However, our top priority is to find a new gown. Lin Shanchu picked up her phone and was about to make a call. Who are you going to call? Qi Cheng asked hurriedly. Huo Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu quickly found his number and dialed it. Will it be too much trouble for him? Qi Cheng asked tentatively. Its all his fault! Lin Shanchu snorted. Besides, isnt itmon to ask a favor from a friend? Theres an obvious shortcut, so why do we have to spend so much effort to find it ourselves? It was already very difficult for a person to survive. Why did she still pretend to be noble and dignity over such a small matter? What dignity did she need to preserve? Qi Cheng was speechless for a moment. He felt that Lin Shanchus words sounded fine, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong. Huo Chaosheng was probably busy and did not pick up the phone. It was until the call was automatically hung up. At this moment, He Xiang pushed the door open and came in, panting. Sister Lin, when I was on my way back I contacted a few clothing brand owners, but they arent famous You might have to bear with it He Xiang rushed all the way back, fearing that Lin Shanchu would not have time to find for a new gown. However, she was so exhausted that she was out of breath. Drink some water. As Lin Shanchu spoke, Qi Cheng already opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to He Xiang. When He Xiang took the bottle of water, she muttered, The gown.. Lin Shanchus phone rang. Huo Chaosheng returned her call. Lin Shanchu told Huo Chaosheng yesterday that she would look for him after the event. Based on his understanding of her, she would certainly not contact him before the event ended unless she had business with him. Lin Shanchu did not stand on ceremony and stated her request righteously, Help me get a beautiful gown. Youre quite good at ordering people around. Huo Chaosheng sneered. Do you have any other requests? Hmm Let me think about it. Two secondster, Lin Shanchu said seriously, Its best if its something that even the socialites of these wealthy families in Capital City might not be able to afford. He Xiang and Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu at the same time. This request was too bold. Even the socialites of the wealthy families in Capital City had never worn such a gown. What kind of gown was that? Would Huo Chaosheng agree to her request? To their surprise, Huo Chaosheng actually agreed to Lin Shanchus request. Not only that, he also agreed readily. Alright, wait. Huo Chaosheng seemed to have thought of something and added, Remember to send me your size. Lin Shanchu did not forget to urge him, Alright, hurry up. We dont have much time. Huo Chaosheng was silent for a full three seconds before he spoke again. Lin Shanchu, youre really inhuman. He enunciated the words full of personal emotions. Thank you for thepliment, Lin Shanchu replied with a smile. Even a pervert thought that she was inhuman. She was really amazing.. Chapter 332 - 332: Snatched It Chapter 332: Snatched It Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Enraged, Huo Chaosheng hung up on Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu held the phone in front of her and said innocently, He hung up the phone. Teacher Alec wont get mad, will he? He Xiang asked worriedly. Qi Cheng reminded Lin Shanchu cautiously, Shanshan why dont you be more polite to Alec? Huo Chaosheng quickly sent someone to deliver the gown. The moment Lin Shanchu saw the packaging of the gown, she had a sense of foreboding. He Xiang caressed the packaging of the gown. As expected of Teacher Alec. His taste is really extraordinary. Even the box of the gown looks so retro, sophisticated and high-quality When Lin Shanchu opened the box and saw the qipao inside, sheughed at herself. If I had known earlier, I wouldnt have made the request with such high-level requirement These wealthy families in Capital City had money and power. As long as they could buy a gown with money, they could afford anything. This qipao was as exquisite as a piece of art. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to make it. At a nce, she could tell that it was made by a prestigious master. Such a master had their own temper. They might not agree to make clothes for the sake of money. This qipao is so beautiful. What kind of material is this? Its so soft. I dont even dare to touch it forcefully He Xiang touched it carefully. This style and craftsmanship might have been made by the qipao master, Liu Jian, Qi Cheng said with aplicated expression. But Qi Cheng turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Master Liu Jian is old now. His energy is limited. Its very difficult to ask him to make a qipao. Besides, qipaos are usually custom-made. How did Alec acquire it? Lin Shanchu blinked her eyes and had a bold thought. He probably snatched Judging from the color to the design, this qipao was meant for young generation. Some rich daughter must have specially ordered it from Liu Jian. It was about the same size as her. Huo Chaosheng did not have the so-called core values, nor was he bound by morality. He waspletely capable of doing something like snatching clothes. However, Qi Cheng and He Xiang, who did not know Huo Chaoshengs true colors, thought Lin Shanchu was joking. How is that possible? After finished speaking, He Xiang urged Lin Shanchu to change her clothes. Sister Lin, you should try on it. Lin Shanchu changed into a qipao and came out. Not bad. Qi Cheng nodded. He Xiang covered her face as she screamed with sparkling eyes. Ahhhh, Sister Lin! Lin Shanchu had been resting recently and her cancer had been cured. Moreover, she had gained some weight and her figure was well-proportioned, so she did not look skinny at all. The qipao unexpectedly fitted her well, revealing beautiful curves of her slim figure. She looked naturally charming with those pure eyes. He Xiang was stunned, but Qi Cheng reacted first. The hair color is not good! Change the color then. Lin Shanchu looked at the time and said, Theres still time. Why dont you wear a wig? He Xiang suggested. Lin Shanchu twirled her hair and said nonchntly, Im tired of this color anyway. Lin Shanchu rushed to the event venue after she was done with styling. When they arrived at the venue, there was still more than an hour before the event began. Lin Shanchu wasn not the only one invited to the event today. Other artists and relevant personnel were also invited. The staff were surprised to see Lin Shanchu. They had all seen the trending topic of Yun Yi personally weing Lin Shanchu yesterday, so they thought that Lin Shanchu would arrivete or at the right time. Some artists cared a lot about their appearance time and wanted to use it to show off their status. However, Lin Shanchu came so early. While waiting, Lin Shanchu took some time to call Huo Chaosheng. The qipao is very beautiful. Where did you snatch it from? Its fine as long as you can wear it. You dont have to worry about the rest. Someone will deal with it. You really snatched it? What else? To conjure a fitting qipao out of thin air for you? Lin Shanchu fell silent guiltily. Her request was a little too much. Lin Shanchus tone softened a little. Ille and find you after the event. Theres no need. Dont you have to attend a dinner party tonight? I happen to be free tonight. Ill look for you at the dinner party. Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Chaosheng probably wanted to join in the fun. Alright. The event venue was beautifully decorated. Lin Shanchu did not have many connections with other celebrities in the entertainment industry. She was even less familiar with the celebrities in Capital City. Throughout the entire event, she cooperatively walked the red carpet and assisted with various processes of the brand owner, showing her dedication as a worker. By the time the event reached the second half, Lin Shanchu had nothing else to do and was restingzily on the sofa. A woman walked over and sat down beside her. Ming Yao is here too! Who is she? The editor-in-chief of MMLY Magazine I heard that MMLY is going to invite the Cheng family to shoot the cover next month? Thats what she said.. MLLY Magazine? Lin Shanchu had heard of it. It was a womens fashion magazine. It was said that the people who appeared on the cover of this magazine were celebrities from all walks of life. Sometimes, they would also invite some socialites. She did not have any thoughts about this cover. She just wanted to act. Qi Cheng previously said that he had epted a role in a period drama for her. The period drama would be filmed in the Film City of Capital City. After she was done with the jewelry brand, she could go straight to the crew for an audition. Lin Shanchu was lost in thought. After a few seconds, she realized something and suddenly looked up at the person beside her. The legendary chief editor of MMLY was sizing her up. After being discovered by Lin Shanchu, Ming Yao did not look embarrassed at all. Instead, she even became calmer. After a while, Ming Yao took the initiative to speak, Your qipao looks nice. She had good facial features, looking beautiful and invasive. Her voice carried a calm and steady tone unique to mature women, but still it made her seem powerful, giving off a strong sense of distance and oppression. Such a confident, mature and morous chief editor would not like a pervert like Huo Chaosheng, right? Therefore, she should not have been the one who hired the Inte trolls to nder her and caused trouble when she borrowed the gown. However, Lin Shanchu could not rule out the possibility that Ming Yao had a unique taste and liked a perverted brother like Huo Chaosheng. A friend gave it to me. Lin Shanchu smiled lightly, putting on a harmless look. Your friend must be some big shot. Master Liu rarely makes qipao for others in recent years. Ming Yaos tone became serious, as if she was really interested in her qipao. However, Lin Shanchu could still hear the probing tone in her voice. Ming Yao wanted to know who gave her this qipao. She refused to say anything. Lin Shanchus eyes widened in surprise. I see. Then I must be really lucky. Ming Yao pursed her lip and frowned slightly as a trace of doubt shed across her eyes. Was this Lin Shanchu really stupid or was she ying dumb? She quickly suppressed her emotions and echoed expressionlessly, Indeed.. Chapter 333 - 333: You Are So Great Chapter 333 - 333: You Are So Great Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When the brand event ended, Lin Shanchu realized that the seat beside her was already empty. Ming Yao had left at some point. Finally, it was time for photo session and interview with reporters. The artists and the apanying staff had separate seats at the event venue. Qi Cheng jogged over to remind Lin Shanchu, Most of the reporters are here for you. When the timees, the will surely pose sharp questions. Just remain silent if you encounter a question you dont want to answer. I only have two requests for youdont fight and dont lose your temper in public.
Bewildered, Lin Shanchu asked, Brother Qi, why are you lowering your expectations of me? Qi Cheng sighed. I want to ask more of you but the problem is, will you cooperate? Of course she would not. She would never do something like humbling herself and thinking of the big picture again in her life. Lin Shanchu smiled and pretended that she had not said anything just now. Ill go over there. When Lin Shanchu arrived at the interview area, the reporters were obviously enthusiastic with sparkling eyes. A reporter asked, Lin Shanchu! Are you wearing a wig today? No, I dyed it. It seemed that the reporters in Capital City were quite concerned about her and even noticed her hair color. Another reporter asked, Why are you wearing a qipao today? Is it because theres clothing brand to lend you a gown? It started just like that. Lin Shanchu gently brushed her hair behind her ear and maintained her smile. A friend gave it to me. A reporter asked, Did you see the news of Lu Shiyuan being detained? What do you think about it? Lin Shanchu replied, He deserved it. The reporter pursued the matter. Do you really not care about your rtionship with Lu Shiyuan for so many years? Someizensmented that you are ruthless. Do you agree with them? Your fianc upied your property for many years. On the wedding day, he slept with another woman on your wedding bed, and yet you mercifully sing praises of him. You are so great. Lin Shanchu smiled and her tone was full of appreciation, as if she really admired the reporter. The other reportersughed out loud after hearing Lin Shanchus words. The reporter who asked the question lowered his head awkvvardly amidst theughter. The other reporters continued to pose questions. A reporter asked, Yesterday, you became trending after having lunch with the president of Yun Ding Corporation. Did you deliberately create hype to gain poprity? Lin Shanchu asked, Do you have no friends or do you never eat lunch? The reporter was speechless. This was the first time the reporters from Capital City dealt face-to-face with Lin Shanchu. They only learned about Lin Shanchu from some interviews and videos online. They knew that Lin Shanchu was obscure for many years and had reappeared in the publics eyes after participating in My Stage. She looked beautiful, gentle and harmless. However, her style waspletely different from her appearance. She dared to do and say anything, as if no one in the world was a match for her. They only heard about the rumors before. Today, they truly experienced it. When the other reporters asked questions after that, they were obviously more careful and polite than before. A reporter asked, Will you meet up with Alec for dinner while you are in Capital City? Hes here. Lin Shanchu lifted her chin and looked at the door not far away. The reporters turned around and saw Huo Chaosheng at the door. It would take a long time for injuries to heal. Huo Chaoshengs leg injury had not recovered yet, so he was still in a wheelchair when he left the house. Huo Chaosheng waved at the reporters and asked with a smile, Are you done with your questions? If you are done, Im going to hang out with my friend. Whether it was the Huo familys influence or Huo Chaoshengs status, the reporters were wary of them. Alec, can we take a photo of you and Lin Shanchu before you leave? The reporters tone was filled with ttery. Lin Shanchu pursed her lip and crossed her arms. The reporters really treated people differently ording to their social status. It was indeed different to be born with a good background. Huo Chaosheng gave them an OK sign. A reporter shouted excitedly, He agreed! It was just a group photo. What was there to be excited about? It was as if it was a great gift from heaven. After Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng were photographed, they went to the lounge arranged by the brand owner. The brand owner intended to allow Lin Shanchu to rest for a while before attending the brands appreciation dinner. Didnt you say you were going to look for me at the dinner party? Why are you here so early? Lin Shanchu sat in front of the mirror and let He Xiang touch up her makeup. She looked at Huo Chaosheng through the mirror. Huo Chaosheng said concisely, Boring. Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows slightly without a word. Judging from the speed at which answered the phone in the morning, he was probably busy. She did not know what made him feel bored. After He Xiang touched up Lin Shanchus makeup, she went out with Qi Cheng to meet with the staff for the rest of the work. When Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng were the only ones left in the lounge, hepletely rxed and revealed his true color. I couldnt tell that you were really capable. Not only did you make Lu Shiyuan lose his woman and money, but he even has to go to jail. Huo Chaosheng sighed regretfully. Its all Third Brothers fault for sending me back Tch, Lu Shiyuan had it easy. Lin Shanchu stood up to get a bottle of mineral water. Then, she turned to Huo Chaosheng and asked, Do you want some? Huo Chaosheng reached out to her. Lin Shanchu opened a bottle and handed it to him. Huo Chaosheng took the bottle of mineral water mechanically. Then, his eyes slightly widened as he stared at Lin Shanchu in shock. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to drink some water, she saw his expression and asked, Whats wrong? You want to ask a favor from me again? Huo Chaosheng narrowed his eyes and sized her up. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Huo Chaosheng continued, One who is unountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. Lin Shanchu finally understood him and said, Didnt I just open a bottle of water for you? How could it be solicitous? What else could it be? Huo Chaosheng raised his head and drank a mouthful of water. He stared at Lin Shanchu and continued, You must have an ulterior motive for me. You havent made any friends, have you? Lin Shanchu asked him unhappily. I really dont have any friends other than you. Huo Chaosheng nodded seriously. Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment before she said, You are right. I do have an ulterior motive. Tell me. Huo Chaosheng had an expression that said, I knew it! Lin Shanchu walked over to Huo Chaosheng and sat down. She lowered her voice and said slowly, Youve been overseas for so many years. Do you know where you can spend money to hire assassins? To kill who? Huo Chaoshengs eyes brightened. Lin Shanchu replied, Lu Shiyuan. After thinking for a moment, Huo Chaosheng said, Lu Shiyuan has been detained. If he is sentenced after the trial, he will go straight to prison. Or do you want to wait until hes released from prison before you make a move? Its impossible for him to stay in prison until he is released. Lin Shanchus eyes darkened as she said, I know him well. Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai had been together for so many years. They had done many shady things together and had a hold over each other. Now that the two sides had turned against each other, it was time for them to fight and threaten each other.. Chapter 334 - 334: Just For Fun Chapter 334 - 334: Just For Fun Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Tang Qidai was no match for Lu Shiyuan in terms of intelligence. Now that Tang Qidai had returned to the Cheng family, she should be able to get Lu Shiyuan out of jail with the help of the Cheng family. Lu Shiyuan would never let go of the chance to threaten Tang Qidai to save him. Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Chaosheng and smiled lightly. A person like Lu Shiyuan will only know his ce when hes lying in a coffin.
As long as Lu Shiyuan was alive, these matters would not be over. Lu Shiyuan must die! Theres no need to hire a killer. Just let me help you. Huo Chaosheng looked down at his leg and said, But I have to wait until my leg recovers. Focus on recuperation. Lin Shanchu reached out and pressed on his leg. Huo Chaosheng gasped in pain. Lin Shanchu, believe it or not, Ill kill you first once my leg is healed! Lin Shanchu ignored him. Huo Chaosheng was speechless. Lin Shanchu was getting more and more arrogant. Forget it. Seeing that she had opened a bottle of mineral water for him, he would tolerate her this time. Lin Shanchu adjusted her qipao and asked, Whose qipao did you snatch? A hint of displeasure shed across Huo Chaoshengs eyes as he replied, A woman who is a pain in the ass to deal with. She could tell that he hated this woman. Ming Yao? Lin Shanchu guessed. Its not Ming Yao, but she is quite smart. Huo Chaosheng was surprised as he asked, You know her? We met once at the event venue. As expected, it was not Ming Yao. She Imew that Ming Yao would not like a perverted brother like Huo Chaosheng. Would Mingyao like a mature and steady man? For example, Yun Yi? She felt that Ming Yao and Yun Yi were quitepatible. After a short while, He Xiang came in to inform them that they could go to the dinner party. When Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Chaosheng to the banquet hall, there was amotion. Is that the youngest son of the Huo family? Why is he together with Lin Shanchu? Are the rumors online about them true? How can it be true? Huo Xunzhou wouldnt let him mess around Thats true. Its probably just for fun Both Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng heard the discussion, but they did not care about them. It happened to be dinner time and Lin Shanchu was already hungry. She pushed Huo Chaosheng to the side of the buffet table. Then, she took a small te and began to pick up food. Huo Chaoshengs mobility was limited, so he could only watch her from the side. When Lin Shanchu was done getting the food, he finally asked, What about mine? Lin Shanchu nced at his wheelchair and asked, What do you want to eat? looked around and his gaze fell on the te in her hand. Just like yours. Lin Shanchu pushed him to the table at the side and ced her te full of food in front of him. You eat first. After that, Lin Shanchu returned to the buffet table to continue picking up food. Lin Shanchu quickly returned with the food and sat opposite Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng did not eat first. Instead, he carefully sized up the decorations in the banquet hall. The banquet hall is so small. Theres nothing fun about it. Ill take you to a bigger banquet next time. I am not interested. Lin Shanchu lowered her head and started eating. When Huo Chaosheng saw that she was eating with relish, he tried a few bites. Its quite delicious. Yes. Lin Shanchu responded perfunctorily without raising her head. Huo Chaosheng watched as Lin Shanchu finished the entire te of food. Why is your appetite better than mine? He muttered softly, You dont look like someone who is about to die at all. Cough! Lin Shanchu choked on water. Huo Chaosheng frowned as he handed her a tissue in disgust. After Lin Shanchu tidied herself up, she raised her head and smiled at him. I regret to inform you that I have recovered from my illness. I probably wont die for a while. Huo Chaosheng was stunned for two seconds before nodding thoughtfully. Thats quite regretful. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Bang! An exquisite handbag was suddenly mmed on the table. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw a young woman in a gray gown sitting between her and Huo Chaosheng. The woman looked about the same age as Huo Chaosheng. She looked exquisite from head to toe and had the arrogance that someone from a wealthy family could have exuded. Lin Shanchus gaze returned to the womans gown. The smoke-gray gossamer texture looked very familiar. She remembered it. The clothing brand owner, who previously promised to lend her a gown, had sent the design photo in advance. The gown looked exactly the same as the one in the photo. It was really beautiful. Unfortunately, it was snatched away by someone else. Lin Shanchu felt a little regretful. The woman did not seem to notice Lin Shanchus gaze, nor did she look at Lin Shanchu the entire time. Instead, she looked straight at Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng, what a coincidence. We meet again. Huo Chaoshengs expression became visibly irritated. Normally, he could have just left, but he was in a wheelchair with limited mobility. Huo Chaosheng ignored her and looked at Lin Shanchu. I want to go for a walk. Oh. Lin Shanchu stood up and walked over to push Huo Chaosheng away. The woman who had snatched her gown suddenly stood up and blocked their path. Her sharp gaze was fixed on Lin Shanchu. Huo Chaosheng and I still have something to discuss. But he doesnt want to talk to you. He said he wanted to go for a walk. Lin Shanchus voice was soft and her pure eyes were as innocent as could be. The woman clenched her fists. Her gaze swept past the qipao on her and finallynded on Huo Chaoshengs face. You snatched the qipao I ordered. You should have an exnation for this, right? Lin Shanchu looked down at the qipao she was wearing. It turned out that this qipao belonged to this woman. How interesting. Lin Shanchu noticed that Huo Chaoshengs fingers were tapping on the armrest non-stop. It was a sign of anxiety. Huo Chaosheng looked normal on the surface, but she knew that he had reached his limit. Miss Cheng Fanjing, dont nder me in public. Huo Chaosheng sneered. I bought a qipao for a friend today. If you dont believe me, you can ask my uncle. My uncle paid for it for me. You Cheng Fanjing was so angry that her face turned red. Lin Shanchu could tell that Huo Chaosheng was threatening Cheng Fanjing, let alone the person involved. The uncle Huo Chaosheng was talking about was probably Huo Xunzhous father. Cheng Fanjing naturally would not confront Huo Xunzhous father over a qipao. Moreover, Huo Chaosheng was lying through his teeth. Cheng Fanjing was someone who cared about her dignity. No matter how angry she was, she had to take care of her dignity in public. You treat your friends well because you value friendship. However, you have to choose the right friends. Not everyone is worthy of your friendship. After finished speaking, Cheng Fanjing smiled and nced at Lin Shanchu. Then, she turned around and left. Watching Cheng Fanjing walking far away, Lin Shanchu whispered to Huo Chaosheng, Does she like you? Chapter 335 - 335: An Extreme Method Chapter 335 - 335: An Extreme Method Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Chaosheng looked irritated as he shook his head. She wants to marry me. Lin Shanchu tilted her head in confusion. Huo Chaosheng hooked his finger at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu bent down and leaned closer to him.
Huo Chaosheng tilted his head and whispered to her. The Cheng family is interested in a marriage alliance with the Huo family, but Cheng Fanjing doesnt want to marry my Third Brother. Why? What else do you think the reason could be? Huo Chaosheng snorted coldly. Because your Third Brother is disabled? Lin Shanchu probed. Cheng Fanjing did not seem to like Huo Chaosheng, judging from her attitude just now. She was willing to marry Huo Chaosheng for the sake of marriage alliance. Even so, she was unwilling to marry Huo Xunzhou because she despised the fact that Huo Xunzhou was a disabled man. Huo Chaosheng nodded slightly in agreement. Lin Shanchu felt likeughing for no reason. Huo Xunzhou also had times when people despised him. Cheng Fanjing did not leave the dinner party after falling out with Huo Chaosheng just now. With the status of the daughter of the Cheng family, she could do whatever she wanted in Capital City. Whether or not people knew her, they had to tter her and please her. Cheng Fanjing just stood there, and people came over to greet her one after another. She was like a princess surrounded by stars. Cheng Fanjing was keenly aware of Lin Shanchus gaze and looked over. There was not much sharp emotion in her eyes. She only raised her hand that was holding the ss of champagne, and someone respectfully took the ss from her. The person who took the ss of champagne from her was not a waiter, but a guest who attended the appreciation dinner. She was showing off to Lin Shanchu, signaling her to back off and stay away from Huo Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu felt that this high and mighty attitude was very familiar. Lin Shanchu quickly understood why she felt it was familiar. It was because Lu Shiyuan used to be like this, always acting high and mighty. Did Cheng Fanjing target her by hiring Inte trolls to nder her and snatching her gown because she could not handle Huo Chaosheng alone? Did she look like an easy targetpared to Huo Chaosheng? Lin Shanchu was a little unhappy. She straightened her body and locked eyes with Cheng Fanjing across the room as she slowly adjusted her qipao. It was not difficult to demonstrate such behavior. Who did not know how to do Cheng Fanjing pursed her lip and her eyes darkened. Lin Shanchu, this woman who came from a small town, really did not Imow her ce! In that case, she should not be med for being impolite! Cheng Fanjing narrowed her eyes slightly and turned around to talk to the people beside her with a smile, as if nothing had happened. Huo Chaosheng watched the confrontation between Lin Shanchu and Cheng Fanjing quietly. She is blessed for being able to marry my Third Brother, but she doesnt know her ce, Huo Chaosheng said menacingly. Lin Shanchu recalled Huo Chaoshengs description of Cheng Fanjing earlier. A woman who is a pain in the ass to deal with. She did not overthink it back then. Now, it seemed that the part deal with that Huo Chaosheng mentioned was probably the most extreme method. Cheng Fanjings identity was obvious. If Huo Chaosheng really used some extreme method to deal with her, it would be troublesome to take care of the aftermath. Lin Shanchu tried to reason with Huo Chaosheng. Under the premise of no emotional foundation, no woman would be willing to marry a disabled man. Its quite normal. I dont care if shes normal or not, Huo Chaosheng said indifferently. Lin Shanchu was speechless. As expected, she could not reason with someone without core values. Lin Shanchu stopped talking and silently pushed Huo Chaosheng around the banquet hall. After a while, Huo Chaosheng felt bored. Why arent you saying anything? he asked Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu replied, I have nothing to say to you. After a moment of silence, Huo Chaosheng said, How about you marry my Third Brother? His tone was so normal that it sounded like he was discussing with her where to go for supperter. Stunned, Lin Shanchu asked, Why do I have to marry him? Huo Chaosheng replied, If you marry my Third Brother, we will be a family. It will be more convenient for us to hang around. Lin Shanchu helplessly said, You want me to marry your Third Brother just to hang around with me? Yes, said Huo Chaosheng as a matter of course, not knowing what was wrong with his suggestion. Lets not talk about whether Im willing or not. Didnt you say that your Third Brother despises me? When you two spent some time together for a long time, he will probably like you Huo Chaosheng looked at her awkwardly. His gaze seemed to be hinting that Lin Shanchu was worthy of Huo Xunzhou. Speechless, Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Chaosheng was hopeless with his brotherplex. She really wanted to tell Huo Chaosheng on the spot that she was dating Huo Xunzhou so that Huo Chaosheng could feel the sinister nature of the human heart. After the dinner party, Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng went out for a simple dinner before going home. Lin Shanchus interview with the reporter was posted online. Someone even dug out the origin of the qipao she was wearing. [These reporters were obviously interviewing Sister Rabbit for the first time.] [Its okay. Their days of being criticized are yet toe. Hahahahaha.] [Sister Rabbit was so sincere when she said, You are so great. She used the most sincere tone to say the most sarcastic words.] [Sister looks even better after dying her hair ck! ] [The qipao shes wearing is so beautiful. I thought she was a little thin before, but now its just right!] [Lin Shanchu is simply my type for someone who is obsessed with good looks like me. Ahhhh, shes so beautiful] [This qipao it seems to be the work of the qipao master, Liu Jian?] [Its not just look alike! Its really made by the qipao master, Liu Jian! This frog closure is his original creation and it appeared in an interview he was in.] [Is Lin Shanchu so influential? I thought one has to make an appointment in advance to ask Liu Jian to make a qipao?] The attention of theizens gradually shifted to the qipao. The next morning, theizens dug out the news that this qipao was actually ordered by Cheng Fanjing. It was said that the news was dug out byizens, but in fact, it was posted on Weibo by a marketing ount. Its said that a certain youngdy in Capital City asked someone to custom-make a qipao. After making it, she didnt want it anymore There was no mention of Cheng Fanjings name on Weibo. Thements were consistent: [So, Lin Shanchu picked up something that was abandoned by others?] [I knew it. A dumped woman like Lin Shanchu isnt influential enough to get Liu Jian to make a qipao for her.] [Why does she always pick up someone elses leftovers?] [People like her have no status, so they are destined to pick up leftovers for the rest of their lives] Some randomizen were shocked when they saw thements. [She has 300 million yuan. Even if she spends 10 million yuan a year, she can spend it for the next thirty years. What status does she need?] However, thisment was quickly ovewhelmed. Thepany was the first to find out about this. After Qi Cheng was contacted, he came to look for Lin Shanchu. Before Qi Cheng could speak, Lin Shanchu said, I already know about the incident with the qipao.. Chapter 336 - 336: Why Did You Bring Her Here? Chapter 336 - 336: Why Did You Bring Her Here? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu threw her phone on the table. Qi Cheng took a nce and saw the Weibo interface on the phone screen. This is neither a major nor minor matter, but still it will affect you to a certain extent. Thepany has decided to buy you another trending topic to suppress this matter. Dont waste money. Lin Shanchu stood up and stretched her body.
You Qi Cheng looked up and followed her gaze. What are you up to? Huo Chaosheng did me a great favor. I should treat him to a meal, shouldnt I? Lin Shanchu smiled. Qi Cheng nodded silently. Then lets treat him to a big meal. Lin Shanchu bent down to pick up her phone and dialed Huo Chaoshengs number as she walked into the bedroom. Brother Qi, that person hired Inte trolls to nder Sister Lin again! He Xiang ran over quickly with her phone. Seeing Qi Chengs thoughtful expression, she waved her hand in front of him. Brother Qi? Qi Cheng looked up at her and said, Its okay. Shanshan will go out and treat Alec to a mealter. Huh? If the two of them have a meal and be trending, wont the matter be suppressed? He Xiang suddenly realized it. She sat down beside Qi Cheng and asked, Is Sister Lin treating Teacher Alec like an errand boy? Qi Cheng felt that it made sense and nodded subconsciously. However, he quickly shook his head and denied it. Friends help each other. What does it have to do with errand boy? Lin Shanchu invited Huo Chaosheng to have dinner at the revolving restaurant of Boya Hotel. Did you manage to make a reservation? Qi Cheng asked her. Huo Chaosheng has a way, Lin Shanchu said confidently. You treated him to a meal, but you asked him to make a reservation? Qi Cheng felt that Huo Chaosheng was really gentle and kind. Surprisingly, he had not cut ties with Lin Shanchu even now. Ill just pay for it. Lin Shanchu tidied her hair and stood up. Alright, lets set off. On the way to Boya Hotel, Lin Shanchu observed her surroundings. He Xiang had been with Lin Shanchu for a long time and gradually developed a tacit understanding. She quickly understood what Lin Shanchu was observing. Sister Lin, stop looking. There are no paparazzi following us. Lin Shanchu was a little disappointed. Its okay. If there arent any paparazzi following us, there will definitely be paparazzi following Huo Chaosheng. We can still be trending. She missed Wen Huan a little. Lin Shanchu sent Wen Huan a WeChat message: [Are you there? Are you busy? What are you busy with?] Wen Huan quickly replied: [You can be more perfunctory.] Lin Shanchu: [I really miss you.] Wen Huan: [Oh.] Lin Shanchu: He would not believe her even if she told him the truth! Sister Lin, were here. Lin Shanchu heard He Xiangs voice and locked her phone before getting out of the car. Huo Chaoshengs car appeared right in front of them. When Huo Chaosheng got out of the car with his walking stick, he gestured for Lin Shanchu to help him up. However, Lin Shanchus attention was on the paparazzi behind him. Huo Chaosheng resisted the urge to hit her with his walking stick and said, Now that youve seen the paparazzi, you should at least help me up so that they have something to take photos of! Lin Shanchu quickly smiled and went forward to help him up. Huo Chaosheng handed her his hand and whispered, Lin Shanchu, youre such a hypocrite. Hypocrisy is human nature. Lin Shanchu maintained a smile on her face and reminded him softly, Also, thats something youve said to me before. Really? Huo Chaosheng frowned and thought carefully. You know that Im a hypocrite, but youre still so cooperative toe out to dine with me After a short pause, Lin Shanchu continued, Huo Chaosheng, you will suffer losses if you are being so nice to your friend. Huo Chaosheng did not argue with her, nor did he say anything harsh. Its your ability to make me suffer losses. Sometimes, Lin Shanchu really could not understand what Huo Chaosheng was thinking. Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng deliberately stayed at the entrance of Boya Hotel for a while. Since the reporters could not enter the restaurant, they could only take a few more photos at the entrance. When Huo Chaosheng ordered food, he chose the expensive dishes. As if he was ying a prank, he looked up at Lin Shanchu every time he ordered a dish. When he saw Lin Shanchu pursing her lip and pretending to be calm despite the expensive dishes, he smiled even more happily. The weather is so nice and the scenery is so beautiful. Be happy. Im very happy. Lin Shanchu was expressionless as her lips curved into a professional fake smile. Since youre so happy, lets order another bottle of wine. Huo Chaosheng grinned cheerfully. Lin Shanchu silently picked up the wine list and flipped through it page by page. The most expensive wine was priced at eight digits and there were some unpriced wines that were not for sale. Shall we drink this? Huo Chaosheng excitedly flipped the wine list over and pointed at the wine on it to show Lin Shanchu. The eight-digit price tag was extremely eye-catching. She knew that Huo Chaosheng would order the most expensive one. Lin Shanchu replied, You as long as youre happy. I want a bottle of this wine! Huo Chaosheng turned his head and called out to the waiter. Lin Shanchu silently stretched out her hand and pinched her philtrum. Money was just a worldly possession. She would earn more after spending it. My leg hasnt recovered yet, so I cant drink. A maic male voice came from behind. It was deep, mellow and intoxicating like a vintage wine. After a short sentence, the voice quickly dissipated. Lin Shanchu was stunned and wondered if she had misheard it until Huo Chaosheng looked at the person behind her excitedly. Third Brother! When did youe back? Morning. The familiar voice sounded again. Lin Shanchu came to her senses and looked towards the source of the voice. She saw a familiar face. It had been less than ten days since theyst met, but she felt like it was a lifetime ago. Third brother,e quickly When Huo Chaosheng saw Cheng Fanjing behind Huo Xunzhou, he fell intoplete silence, unable to finish his words. Lin Shanchu looked behind Huo Xunzhou as if she had sensed something. She first saw Li MO pushing the wheelchair. Next, she saw Cheng Fanjing carrying a bag. Huo Xunzhou and Cheng Fanjing were here for dinner. The Cheng family and the Huo family wanted to form a marriage alliance, trying to matchmake Huo Xunzhou and Cheng Fanjing together. Huo Xunzhou was quite cooperative and asked Cheng Fanjing out for dinner as soon as he returned to Capital City. Huo Chaosheng was annoyed with Cheng Fanjing, so he naturally did not hold back and asked, Why did you bring her here? Miss Cheng has a name. Huo Xunzhous tone became a little more serious. Huo Chaosheng looked at Cheng Fanjing unwillingly and said, Miss Cheng. What a coincidence, Cheng Fanjing said with a smile. I didnt expect to see you here. Then lets have dinner together. The more the merrier. After Cheng Fanjing finished speaking, she aggressively sat down next to Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng grimaced and was about tosh out at her, but Huo Xunzhou nced at him. Swallowed his anger, he turned to look out the window without saying a word. Huo Xunzhou naturally sat beside Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu did not even look him in the eye. She moved further away from him expressionlessly, as if she was unwilling to sit with him.. Chapter 337 - 337: If It Is Not Enough, I Can Keep Drinking Chapter 337 - 337: If It Is Not Enough, I Can Keep Drinking Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Cheng Fanjing looked at Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhous faces in one sweeping nce. The two of them looked indifferent, as if they did not want to talk to each other. In the end, Huo Xunzhou took the initiative to speak. Hows work? he asked Lin Shanchu. His tone was cold and distant. It was not even a greeting, and it seemed a little perfunctory.
Cheng Fanjing curled her lip in disdain. From her point of view, Huo Xunzhous attitude towards Lin Shanchu was normal. She did not know what was wrong with Huo Chaosheng as he kept hanging out with Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu nced at Huo Xunzhou expressionlessly before she turned to look at Huo Chaosheng with a smile. Thanks to Chaoshengs care, my work went well. Lin Shanchus voice was soft and carried an ambiguous atmosphere. Huo Chaosheng, who was so bored that he could only drink water, choked on water. Looking at Lin Shanchu in disbelief, he a had look on his face that he thought she was crazy. Huo Xunzhou yed with the ss in front of him as his deep eyes looked calm. Is that so? His tone was unusually casual, but Lin Shanchus heart skipped a beat for some reason. As a veteran of brotherplex, Huo Chaosheng was sensitive to Huo Xunzhous emotional changes. He thought that Huo Xunzhous emotional changes was because of his frequent interactions with the bad woman, Lin Shanchu, so he quickly changed the topic. Third Brother, order some dishes. You havent been back to Capital City for a long time. There are new dishes here recently He fawningly handed the menu to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhous attention seemed to have been diverted. He took the menu and started reading it seriously. Mr. Huo, its rare for you toe back. How about a drink? Cheng Fanjing asked as she flipped through the menu, but before Huo Xunzhou responded to her, he already gestured for the waiter toe over. Huo Xunzhou looked up at her and said, Please go ahead, Miss Cheng. Cheng Fanjing smiled perfunctorily and turned to talk to the waiter. Lin Shanchu nced at Cheng Fanjing coldly. Cheng Fanjings words and actions from the moment she sat down until now seemed polite and fautless, but Lin Shanchu could feel her dislike and disdain for Huo Xunzhou. When she heard Huo Chaosheng say that Cheng Fanjing despised Huo Xunzhou, she found it interesting and strange. However, Lin Shanchu did not feel good after witnessing it with her own eyes. Cheng Fanjing was an eyesore to her now. What was so great about Cheng Fanjing? What right did she have to look down on Huo Xunzhou? At this moment, she felt a warm touch on her hand. She subconsciously looked down and saw that her hand under the table being held by arge hand. Cheng Fanjing turned around and nced at Lin Shanchu. How strange. She clearly sensed that Lin Shanchu was looking at her just now, but now Lin Shanchu was lowering her head intently while doing something. Could it be an illusion? Lin Shanchu was not in the mood to care about Cheng Fanjing. She looked up at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou calmly flipped through the menu with one hand, looking extremely serious. This man did not tell her that he had returned to Capital City and even wanted to secretly hold her hand. Dream on! Lin Shanchu secretly gathered strength and pulled her hand out when Huo Xunzhou was not paying attention. Bang! Almost at the same time she exerted force, Huo Xunzhou let go of his hand. Lin Shanchu used too much force and hit the table, making a dull thud. The other three looked at her in unison. What are you doing? Huo Chaosheng asked her speechlessly. Whats wrong? Huo Xunzhou asked innocently with a slight frown. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou and smiled kindly. Im a little hungry. My hands are shaking. Huo Xunzhou closed the menu and instructed the waiter, Thats all. Please serve the dishes quickly. Speechless, Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth. The dishes were served quickly. After the waiter opened the bottle of wine, Huo Xunzhou asked him to pour three sses. Holding the wine ss, Huo Chaosheng looked at Huo Xunzhou and stuttered, Third Brother Ill just drink a little Huo Xunzhou reached for his ss and poured some wine into it. Just as the wine covered the bottom of the ss, Huo Xunzhou stopped and handed the ss back to Huo Chaosheng. Holding back his rage, Huo Chaosheng took it and said, Thank you, Third Brother. Then, Huo Xunzhou filled his ss to the brim. He raised the ss and said solemnly to Cheng Fanjing, Miss Cheng, Chaosheng did something inappropriate this time. I apologize to you on his behalf. After Huo Xunzhou finished speaking, he raised his head and downed arge ss of wine in one gulp. Lin Shanchus expression instantly changed. She had never bullied Huo Xunzhou like this. Who was Cheng Fanjing to deserve such a humble apology from Huo Xunzhou? Third Brother! shouted Huo Chaosheng with a grimace. Huo Xunzhou raised an empty ss to Cheng Fanjing with one hand and held Lin Shanchu down under the table with his other hand, as if he was trying tofort her. Lin Shanchu clenched her fists tightly. As her face darkened, she turned her head and looked out the window to hold back her anger. Cheng Fanjing remained silent. It was obvious that it was insufficient to make amends to her by drinking a ss of wine and making an apology. Huo Chaoshengs face suddenly turned cold as he said, Cheng Fanjing, I was the one who snatched your clothes. Come at you if you have problem with me. Why are you humiliating my Third Brother? Cheng Fanjing shouted angrily, Huo Chaosheng, watch your mouth! I didnt force Huo Xunzhou to apologize to me, but Uncle Huo asked him to apologize to me on your behalf! Alright! Huo Chaosheng snorted and poured himself a full ss of wine. Is this ss of wine enough? If it is not enough, I can keep drinking. At this moment, Lin Shanchu suddenly stood up and snatched the wine bottle over. Then, she raised her head and drank the rest of the wine. Lin Shanchu! Huo Xunzhous expression changed slightly. Lin Shanchu leaned over and mmed the empty bottle in front of Cheng Fanjing. After that, she ced her hands on the table and stared at Cheng Fanjing. Cheng Fanjing, if you dont like me, just be direct ande at me. Dont be a coward, and dont vent your anger on other people. Thats something only ipetent cowards would do. The woman in front of her had a pair of cat-like pure eyes. There was nothing in her eyes, but they felt sharp for some reason. Cheng Fanjing felt a chill run down her spine and shortness of breath, as if her throat was being strangled by this bizzare and cold gaze. Cheng Fanjing finally breathed a sigh of relief after Lin Shanchu backed away. I dont even know who you are. I dont understand what youre saying at all! The friendship between Cheng family and the Huo family hassted for generations. Its not up to an outsider like you to interfere in our families matters! Cheng Fanjing raised her voice exasperatedly, relying on her rationality to maintain thest bit of calmness. Lin Shanchu had drunk so much wine in one go that she was starting to feel ufortable. Huo Xunzhou was angry and distressed. He turned to look at Cheng Fanjing with a stern gaze. Miss Cheng, Miss Lin is Chaoshengs friend and my sister. Shes not an outsider.. Chapter 338 - 338: Unfortunately, He Was a Cripple Chapter 338 - 338: Unfortunately, He Was a Cripple Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou, what do you mean? Are you implying that Im an outsider? Cheng Fanjing raised her head and looked around. She was aware of the other people around her, so she stood up without losing herposure. Huo Xunzhou ignored her words and said coldly, Miss Cheng, if you dont ept my apology, Ill convey your intentions to my father. Cheng Fanjing was stumped by Huo Xunzhous words. It was true that she deliberately put on airs and refused to ept the apology earlier because she looked down on Huo Xunzhou.
Everyone in Capital City knew that the only son of the Huo family had been wandering outside since he was young. The patriarch of the Huo family, Huo Zhuxiu, loved his nephew Huo Chaosheng very much. In the early years, everyone thought that Huo Chaosheng would be the future heir of the Huo family. Unexpectedly, the only son of the Huo family returned. Unfortunately, he was a cripple. Huo Zhuxiu did not neglect Huo Chaosheng just because Huo Xunzhou had returned to the Huo Family. Huo Chaosheng could still do whatever he wanted in the Huo Family. As a result, some people spected that the Huo family might still fall into Huo Chaoshengs hands in the future. This was one of the reasons why Cheng Fanjing did not want to marry Huo Xunzhou. She was the daughter of the Cheng family. Even if it was a marriage alliance, she had to marry the most powerful man and be the most glorious woman in the upper-ss circle. Marrying Huo Chaosheng was the safest option! She detested the fact that Huo Chaosheng and Huo Xunzhou were in a good rtionship. As long as she still wanted to marry Huo Chaosheng, she could not fall out with Huo Xunzhou. Cheng Fanjing quickly calmed down. Mr. Huo, youve misunderstood me. I dont mind such a minor matter. Cheng Fanjing smiled and gestured for the waiter to pour her a drink. The waiter quickly opened a new bottle of wine and brought it over. Cheng Fanjing instructed, Fill it up. After raising her ss, Cheng Fanjing lifted her head and drank it all in one go. Huo Chaosheng sneered and ignored her. Huo Xunzhou asked the waiter to bring him a ss of warm water. Then, he lowered his head and turned sideways to coax Lin Shanchu to drink some water. Cheng Fanjing waspletely ignored. However, she could only endure the humiliation. Huo Zhuxiu had asked Huo Xunzhou to apologize to her because they respected the Cheng Family, but not Cheng Fanjing. If she did not finish this meal before leaving, it would be a p in Huo Zhuxius face. She could not afford the consequences if the friendship between the two families was really jeopardizedter. The meal ended on a sour note. Lin Shanchu had drunk so much wine that she neither had an appetite nor ate much. When it was time for them to leave, Huo Chaosheng wanted to get closer to Lin Shanchu, but Huo Xunzhou pushed him away. Take Miss Cheng home. Third Brother, I I think I should take Lin Shanchu Huo Xunzhou interrupted him, Ill take her back to the hotel. Huo Chaosheng replied reluctantly, Alright then. First, Huo Xunzhou allowed He Xiang to help Lin Shanchu get into the car. After watching Huo Chaosheng and Cheng Fanjing leave in the same car, he asked Li MO to help him get into the car. While supporting Lin Shanchu, He Xiang asked Huo Xunzhou, Teacher Huo, why did Sister Lin drink so much? Lin Shanchu slumped against the seat, staring ahead without an unfocused gaze. I drank it myself. Li MO started the car. Lin Shanchu swayed along with the car for a while before Huo Xunzhou pulled her into his arms. Lets rest for a while. Well reach the hotel soon. His tone was a little stiff. He Xiangs eyes widened. She really wanted to know what had happened at Boya Hotel. The group returned to the hotel. When Qi Cheng came to open the door, he said, Shanshan, youre really something. Youve really be trending President Huo? When Qi Cheng saw Huo Xunzhou, he was stunned for a moment and gave He Xiang a questioning look. He Xiang shook her head, indicating that she did not know what had happened. Only then did Qi Cheng notice that something was wrong with Lin Shanchu. Shanshan? Qi Cheng smelled the alcohol on her and asked, Did you drink? How much did you drink? Come in quickly After the group entered the room, He Xiang helped Lin Shanchu into the room so that she could get some rest. Sister Lin, lie down first. Ill get you some water. After He Xiang stood up and turned around, she saw Huo Xunzhou sitting quietly in his wheelchair. She did not know when he had followed her ande into the room. Teacher Huo, Ill go out first He Xiang was shocked. The door closed. Huo Xunzhou moved to the bedside. Lin Shanchu rolled over with her back facing Huo Xunzhou. She felt dizzy and weak, but her consciousness was still clear. She did not forget that she was still angry at him. Do you still feel ufortable? Huo Xunzhous voice was pleasant to the ear. When he lowered his voice, it was exceptionally gentle. Lin Shanchu couldnt help but reply, What do you think? Huo Xunzhou was silent for two seconds before he spoke, I ordered some hangover soup. Itll be delivered in a while. His voice was gentler than before. How could she be angry at him? Lin Shanchu turned over and sat up. Huo Xunzhou reached out to help her, but she grabbed his hand and bit it hard. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly but he did not pull his hand away and let her bite him. Lin Shanchu raised her head and looked at the neat row of teeth marks she had left behind. You deserve it. Huo Xunzhou chuckled and pulled her into his arms. Lin Shanchu struggled for a while before lying obediently in his arms. There was a faint joy in his voice. Shanshan, you are unreasonable. You ran away without a word and started scolding me as soon as you met me. He made it sound as if she had no conscience. Lin Shanchu was not convinced and struggled to get out of his arms to argue with him. I wanted to help you vent your anger at Boya Hotel, but you held me down and didnt let me move Huo Xunzhou did not let go of her, so her voice was muffled. Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a moment before he said seriously, Maybe next time. His tone sounded a little expectant? Lin Shanchu looked up at him in confusion. Huo Xunzhou lowered his head and kissed her. After a long kiss, both of them were panting. After calming down for a while, Huo Xunzhou began to exin to her, I know what happened these two days. I was the one who gave Chaosheng the idea to snatch Cheng Fanjings qipao. You? Lin Shanchu looked at him with her eyes wide open. Then, she said, I see. Huo Chaosheng loathed Cheng Fanjing, but how did he know that Cheng Fanjing had ordered a qipao? It turned out to be Huo Xunzhous idea. In that case, a question arose. How did you know that Cheng Fanjing ordered a qipao? Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou away and narrowed her eyes, pretending to be angry. When Cheng Fanjing first hired Inte trolls to target you, I investigated her After thinking for a while, Huo Xunzhou added, However, theres really nothing to investigate about her. A daughter of a wealthy family like Cheng Fanjing did not need to work. She dressed up all day, went to exhibitions, traveled and attended banquets. She had nothing else to do. Therefore, Huo Xunzhou managed to find out about trifles like what kind of banquets Cheng Fanjing attended, what exhibitions she went to and how many clothes she ordered.. Chapter 339 - 339: “Miss Lin, President Huo Wants to See You Chapter 339: Miss Lin, President Huo Wants to See You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Atter Huo Xunzhou tinished speaking, he saw Lin Shanchu smiling. Why do you like caring about me so secretly? She tilted her head slightly and her voice was soft and childish. Huo Xunzhous ears were a little red. He cleared his throat and said seriously, I just investigated her in passing. Its not a big deal. Huo Xunzhous stubborn look was also lovable. Lin Shanchu gave him a peck on the lips as a reward. Then, he leaned closer to her with a rxed expression, trying to kiss her. Lin Shanchu yfully turned her head to avoid him and said, I have a headache. I need to rest. As she spoke, shey back on the bed and pulled the nket over her body, revealing only herrge, pure eyes to stare at him. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. He rested one hand on the bed and leaned forward, locking eyes with her. Lin Shanchu saw her own reflection in his eyes. At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Huo Xunzhou reached out and pinched her face before sitting down with a satisfied expression. Lin Shanchu frowned and reached out to touch her face. He had pinched her face a little too hard just now, so she was thinking of revenge. He Xiangs voice came from outside. The hangover soup is here. Huo Xunzhou regainedposure and wore his usual indifferent expression before he said in a deep voice, Come in. He Xiang pushed the door open and entered the room with a bowl of hangover soup. Lin Shanchu saw Li MO standing behind He Xiang and looking inside. Lin Shanchu thought that something was wrong with Li MO and gave him a puzzled look. As a result, Li MO just smiled at her. What could be wrong with Li MO? As a shipper, he just wanted to enjoy shipping the pairing. Although he did not know what the two of them had done in the room just now, the ambiguous atmosphere made Li MO satisfied. Li MO turned around and left, satisfied. After He Xiang handed the hangover soup to Huo Xunzhou, she left the room. Right after He Xiang closed the door, Qi Cheng came over. What are they doing inside? Qi Cheng asked nosily. Looking innocent, He Xiang guessed, Just chatting? Li MO smiled mysteriously. Hehe. In the room, Huo Xunzhou finished feeding Lin Shanchu the hangover soup. Go to sleep. He put the empty bowl aside. Are you going to leave? Lin Shanchu obedientlyy on the bed. Huo Xunzhou tucked her in as he said, I have to go back to the Huo family. Lin Shanchu noticed that he said go back to the Huo family instead of go home. Oh. She did not ask further questions. Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes slightly and looked like he was deep in thought. It was unknown what he was thinking. After a while, he raised his head and said to Lin Shanchu, My father will probablye find you soon. Why does he want to meet me? Lin Shanchu was a little excited as she asked, Does he know about us? Is he going to throw a check at me and tell me to leave his son? You wish, Huo Xunzhou said with aplicated look. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and waited for him to continue speaking. He wille to you not because of me, but because of Chaosheng. Huo Xunzhou added, He likes Chaosheng very much. His tone was the same as usual and his eyes were calm. However, Lin Shanchu felt a change in his emotions. She observed his expression carefully, but she could not tell what he was thinking. Huo Xunzhou was emotionally reserved. As long as he wanted to, he could easily hide his thoughts so that others could not see through his mind. Lin Shanchu pursed her lip and turned her head to stare at the ceiling, no longer trying to probe his thoughts. I know. Its because there are rumors that Huo Chaosheng and I are a couple. Huo Chaosheng even snatched Cheng Fanjings qipao for me. Thats why your father thinks that Huo Chaosheng is too concerned about me, so he wille to warn me to stay away from Huo Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu suddenlyughed. You told Huo Chaosheng to stay away from me before, but Huo Chaosheng still thinks that you hate me. Huo Xunzhou furrowed his brows slightly and looked a little upset. I know that you told Huo Chaosheng to stay away from me because you were worried that Huo Chaosheng would hurt me. Lin Shanchu looked at him with a smile, trying to signal him to praise her. Huo Xunzhous heart melted. His Adams apple bobbed as he praised her gently. Shanshan, you are really smart. You know everything. Lin Shanchu was delighted after being praised. Dont worry. When your fatheres find me, Ill try my best to control my temper and be polite to him. She did not care about his status as the patriarch of a top-notch wealthy family. Huo Xunzhou suddenly called out to her solemnly. Shanshan. Hmm? You dont have to endure it. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou thoughtfully. Huo Xunzhou smiled gently as he said, You dont have to sacrifice yourself for anyone. He hoped that she could live freely and happily. If Lin Shanchu did not live a free and happy life, then everything he had done would be meaningless. Huo Xunzhou waited for Lin Shanchu to fall asleep before leaving. For the next two days, Lin Shanchu was busy endorsing the jewelry brand. After the jewelry brand owner officially announced the endorsement contract with Lin Shanchu, the two parties signed the contract. After that, Lin Shanchu headed to the studio to shoot for promotional materials. The shooting continued for several days. It happened to be evening after the shooting waspleted on that day. The brand staff came over to talk to Qi Cheng about the dinner. Qi Cheng remembered that Lin Shanchu returned to the hotel after work in the wee hours of the morning. She woke up before dawn today toe over for makeup, so he rejected the staffs suggestion. Everyone has been quite tired these few days. Why dont you go back and rest first? Well meet again when we have the chance. The entire team was exhausted. The staff also wanted to go back and rest as soon as it was over. The staff just suggested a gathering out of courtesy. Therefore, the staff did not sav anvthinq else after after Qi Cheng declined the invitation. When Lin Shanchu returned to the lounge to change her clothes, Qi Cheng asked her, Do you want to eat outside or go back to the hotel? Lets go back and eat at the hotel. Lin Shanchu yawned. Working was tiring. Being an endorser would not make her happy, but it would make her rich. Alright. In fact, Qi Cheng intended to go back to the hotel for dinner. The three of them walked out as they chatted. Just as they reached the parking lot, they were stopped by someone. Miss Lin, President Huo wants to see you. The person who stopped them was a man in a suit and leather shoes, looking very decent. Qi Cheng and He Xiang looked at each other. Which President Huo? Anyway, it could not be Huo Xunzhou. He Xiang had learned her lesson because of Yu Cheng. She asked Lin Shanchu softly, Sister Lin, is this person also a senior executive assistant? Yes. Lin Shanchu covered her lips with her hand and turned to He Xiang. The pinnacle of the senior executive assistant. He Xiang said softly, Wow. Miss Lin, please. The senior executive assistant turned slightly and made an inviting gesture. Qi Cheng turned to look at Lin Shanchu and said, Shanshan Lin Shanchu interrupted Qi Cheng, You guys go back to the hotel first.. Chapter 340 - 340: No Wonder Chaosheng Likes You Chapter 340: No Wonder Chaosheng Likes You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Qi Cheng connected the dots and quickly guessed that the so-called President Huo was Huo Xunzhous father. He looked at Lin Shanchu worriedly, but she smiled faintly at him, indicating that he could rest assured. Qi Cheng knew that Lin Shanchu always had an idea, but still he felt uneasy as he watched Lin Shanchu leave. However, the person was Huo Zhuxiu! Although Qi Cheng had been in Xu City before, he knew a little about what was going on in Capital City. The Huo family was arge. There were many talented siblings in Huo Zhuxius generation, but those who were once favored to be the heirs met their demise one after another. In the end, the Huo family fell into the hands of Huo Zhuxiu, who had always been inconspicuous. A wealthys family conflict was never-ending. Qi Cheng could not imagine how longsting the conflict was in this wealthy family, but he knew that Huo Zhuxiu was definitely a man of iron and blood. Otherwise, Huo Zhuxiu would not have emerged the final winner. Lin Shanchu was indeed smart, but the older person was more experienced. If Huo Zhuxiu really wanted to use some tricks, how could Lin Shanchu be able to withstand it? The more Qi Cheng thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He took out his phone and was about to call Huo Xunzhou. Huo Zhuxiu was looking for Lin Shanchu most likelv because of Huo Xunzhou. His phone suddenly vibrated, showing a new WeChat message. Qi Cheng tapped on it and saw a message from Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu: [Theres no need to call Huo Xunzhou. He told me before that his father would look for me.] When Qi Cheng saw this message, he was relieved. He replied to Lin Shanchu: [Be careful.] After receiving Qi Chengs reply, Lin Shanchu put her phone back into her bag. The senior executive assistant already opened the car door and said, Miss Lin, please get into the car. Lin Shanchu bent down and sat inside the car. The seats of the luxury car werefortable, so Lin Shanchu began to feel sleepy after sitting in it. She decided to sleep for a while. If Huo Zhuxiu was not Huo Xunzhous father, she would not have wasted her sleeping time to meet him. Lin Shanchu fastened her seatbelt, closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. After some time, Lin Shanchu vaguely heard someone calling her. Miss Lin, were here. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes and saw that the senior executive assistant had opened the car door. Lin Shanchu stretched her neck and looked outside. It was Boya Hotel again. That was fine. After all, the food here was not bad. Lin Shanchu caressed the hem of her dress as she got out gracefully. Thank you. The executive assistant nodded slightly and took her to Boya Hotel. Huo Zhuxiu wanted to talk to Lin Shanchu about something instead of watching the scenery and having dinner, so he chose a private room. The executive assistant knocked on the door first. President Huo, Miss Lin is here. After two seconds, a dignified and steady voice came from inside. Come in. The executive assistant opened the door for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu carried her bag and walked straight into the private room. The arrangement of the private room was particr. She walked for a while before she saw the dining table. Huo Zhuxiu sat in front of the dining table, looking dignified. He sized up Lin Shanchu for a moment before he said, Please have a seat. Lin Shanchu sat down opposite Huo Zhuxiu. The dining table was huge. Luckily, she was not short-sighted, or else she would not be able to see Huo Zhuxius face clearly. Lin Shanchu only stared at Huo Zhuxiu for two seconds before she frowned and looked away. Huo Zhuxiu was nearly fifty years old, but he had taken good care of himself. It was not hard to imagine that he was a noble young master whom many women fell in love with at first sight when he was young. Unfortunately, he did not have charming eyes and did not look like Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou probably looked more like his mother. President Huo, can I order some food? Lin Shanchu came over after work. She was originally tired and hungry. Moreover, she had slept in the car all the way here, so she was now starved. A trace of surprise shed across Huo Zhuxius eyes. He then called the waiter in to order some dishes Is your work tough? His words of concern sounded approachable, but he could not hide the dignity of a person who had been in power for a long time. The more approachable he was, the more it showed that he did not take Lin Shanchu seriously. Lin Shanchu looked up and asked seriously, Is there any job in this world that isnt tough? After hearing those words, Huo Zhuxiuughed. There isnt. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly andughed emotionlessly. Huo Zhuxiu narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a moment beforeing to a conclusion with interest. Youre not afraid of me at all. Why should I be afraid of you? Lin Shanchu nced at the entrance. When would the dishes be served? She was now starving. She did not know which part of her words was funny, but Huo Zhuxiu suddenly burst outughing. Lin Shanchu looked at him, confused. After a while, Huo Zhuxiu stopped smiling and said seriously, No wonder Chaosheng likes you. Lin Shanchu, who had been paying attention to the entrance, finally took the time to nce at Huo Zhuxiu. Sure enough, Huo Zhuxiu met her because of Huo Chaosheng. No matter what, Huo Xunzhou was his biological son. Nominally, she was the daughter of Huo Xunzhous master. If Huo Zhuxiu cared more about Huo Xunzhou, he should have expressed his gratitude to her mother first. At that time, she did not remember anything at all, but judging from Huo Xunzhous attitude, she could tell that her mother had treated Huo Xunzhou well at that time. From this point, she could tell that Huo Zhuxiu did not really like Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu was a little unhappy when she thought about it. Why was Huo Zhuxiu so concerned about Huo Chaosheng but not Huo Xunzhou? Putting aside the fact that Huo Xunzhou was Huo Zhuxius biological son, was Huo Xunzhou worse than Huo Chaosheng? Lin Shanchu felt nothing for Huo Zhuxiu at first, but now, she was starting to hate him. Huo Zhuxiu continued, I heard from Teng Lang that you slept on the way here. Teng Lang? Oh, the senior executive assistant Huo Zhuxiu sent to pick her up. Of course I have to rest if Im tired. Why did he have to mention that she fell asleep? This person was really annoying. Lin Shanchus tone was a little harsh. She was already starting to dislike Huo Zhuxiu. Huo Zhuxiu noticed the change in Lin Shanchus attitude towards him and said calmly, You are a interestingdy. Lin Shanchu showed a perfunctory professional smile. Finally, they were about to get to the main topic. Its reasonable for Chaosheng to be so concerned about you. Huo Zhuxiu leaned back and his aura became stronger than before. President Huo, if you have something to say, just say it. Huo Chaosheng liked her quite a bit. After all, she was the same kind as him. It was quite difficult for a pervert to find someone of his own kind. Huo Zhuxiu smiled and continued, I agree to let you get together with Chaosheng. Huh? Lin Shanchu wondered if she had misheard him. Where was the check? Wasnt he supposed to throw a check at her and tell her to leave Huo Chaosheng? Why was this old man not ying by the rules? This was different from what she had imagined.. Chapter 341 - 341: You Have Your Rules, He Has His Rules, and I Have Mine Chapter 341: You Have Your Rules, He Has His Rules, and I Have Mine Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The surprised look on Lin Shanchus face was too obvious. Im not here to break you up. The smile on Huo Zhuxius face deepened, as if he was satisfied with Lin Shanchus reaction. Most people would feel a sense of aplishment when they realized that the other party had miscalcted their thoughts during a confrontation. Even Huo Zhuxiu was no exception. Lin Shanchu saw a a trace of pride on his face, as if everything was under his control. However, he was more restrained than most people. Whats your condition? Huo Zhuxiu did note here just to tell her that he agreed to her getting together with Huo Chaosheng. Hearing Lin Shanchus words, Huo Zhuxiu looked more rxed. You need to reduce your work in the entertainment industry. Ill make some other ns for you so that you can be someone worthy of Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu realized that anyone with a bit of power and status liked to control others. They liked to control other peoples thoughts and arrange their lives. They would not feel that there was anything wrong with them. Moreover, they would feel that others should be grateful to them. However, some people would sweet-talk and do things more decently, for example Huo Zhuxiu at this moment. Huo Zhuxius words just now soundedpletely normal, as if he was looking out for Lin Shanchu. In reality, Huo Zhuxiu felt that Lin Shanchu was not worthy of Huo Chaosheng. After all, he looked down on Lin Shanchu, let alone respect her. As for the ns he mentioned, they were nothing but a method to make Lin Shanchu give up. Eventually, she would break up with Huo Chaosheng. This door-in-the-face technique would allow Huo Zhuxiu to achieve his goal effortlessly, and at the same time, it would make him appear noble and decent. He was really amazing. President Huo, do you think Im not worthy of Huo Chaosheng now? Lin Shanchus eyes widened slightly, but she looked extremely innocent. Huo Zhuxiu said nomittally, Im doing this for your own good. But Lin Shanchu reached out to support her chin lightly and her tone was exceptionally innocent. Huo Chaosheng likes me the way I am now. Why should I change myself? Huo Zhuxius expression froze for a moment, and then his tone turned cold. Miss Lin, are you unwilling to agree to my conditions? Lin Shanchu pursed her lip awkwardly and said, Im sorry, but I cantply with your conditions. The originally rxed atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Huo Zhuxius expression did not change much, but his gaze towards Lin Shanchu turned colder. He had investigated Lin Shanchus past thoroughly. Thisdy was quite smart and had a clean background, but she had a rough upbringing and once had a fianc who was her childhood sweetheart. Such a woman waspletely unqualified to marry into the Huo family. Huo Zhuxiu initially thought that Lin Shanchu would be easy to deal with since she was still young, but he did not expect her to be so arrogant and did not take him seriously at all. Since the soft approach did not work, he had to do it the hard way. Miss Lin, you have to know that things will be troublesome if you dont y by the rules. Huo Zhuxius tone was filled with impatience as he said, I dont like to make things troublesome. Lin Shanchu realized that Huo Zhuxius angry look was simr to Huo Xunzhous. She now found Huo Zhuxiu a little more pleasing to the eye even though he had said those annoying words. As long as people are alive, they cant avoid getting into trouble. You have your rules, he has his rules, and I have mine. Whose rules should I follow to avoid trouble? Lin Shanchu smiled after she finished speaking. Then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she had a distressed look as she said, For example, with the nature of my job, I often have to attend various dinners after work to deal with people I dont know at all. Its quite troublesome. Lin Shanchus words were euphemistic yet direct. It was basically an expansion of the two sentencesYour rules are none of my business and I find you troublesome. Huo Zhuxiu immediately understood the meaning behind Lin Shanchus words. His gaze darkened as he said, Miss Lin, you are young, hot-tempered and has a straightforward personality. How rare. Huo Chaosheng likes someone like me, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. Huo Zhuxiu was dumbstruck by her words. At this moment, someone pushed open the door to the private room from the outside. Huo Zhuxiu finally found a target to vent his umted anger. You came in without knocking? He asked angrily, Is this the etiquette of Boya Hotel staff? An old voice came slowly through the door. Why are you so angry? Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and looked in the direction of the voice. An old man with a walking stick slowly walked over. He seemed to have noticed Lin Shanchus gaze and looked over with a gaze full of curiosity. However, he quickly averted his gaze. Huo Zhuxiu, who was furious a moment ago, immediately restrained his expression and respectfully stood up to help the old man. Dad, why are you here? I came over to dine with a few old fellows. I heard that you were here, so I came to take a look. After Huo Zhuxiu helped the old man sit down, he turned to Lin Shanchu and said, Which family is this pretty girl from? The old man looked kind, had a nice voice and was Huo Xunzhous rtive, so Lin Shanchu had a good impression of him. She stood up politely and smiled at the old man. Im Lin Shanchu from Xu City. Hello. The old man looked at her with a smile, revealing a satisfied expression on his face. The young people nowadays are quite nice. They are all good-looking and polite. Huo Zhuxiu looked at Lin Shanchu with aplicated expression, but he did not say anything. Young people nowadays like a kind and generous grandfather like you very much. Lin Shanchu felt that this old man was kind of adorable. The old manughed heartily at Lin Shanchus words. After he finishedughing, he said seriously, Your name sounds a little familiar to me, and you look kind of familiar. Huo Zhuxiu respectfully reminded him, Miss Lin is an artist in the entertainment industry. You might have heard someone mention her name somewhere. Oh, an artist? The old man nodded in agreement. Its tough being an artist. Yun Wu hasnt called me in a while Yun wu? Lin Shanchu suddenly looked up at the old man and asked, You are Yun Wus grandfather? Yun Wus grandfather was Huo Xunzhous grandfather, so Huo Zhuxiu called him Dad just now. You know Yun Wu? I do. Lin Shanchu nodded with a smile, looking much more sincere than before. I remember now The old man tapped the ground with his walking stick and said excitedly, You danced with Yun Wu on a show, right? Thats me. You are Shanshan, arent you? Yes. Youre just like Yun Wu. You look prettier in real life than on TV. Thank you, Grandpa. Lin Shanchu obediently answered whatever he asked.. Chapter 342 - 342: Scoundrel Chapter 342: Scoundrel Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu and the old man started chatting in front of Huo Zhuxiu. Huo Zhuxiu was left aside, looking like an extra. He did not interrupt their conversation to get their attention, but he quietly sized Lin Shanchu up. Lin Shanchu was arrogant and unyielding when she spoke to him just now, but now she was extremely obedient. She was really two-faced. When the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the dishes, Lin Shanchu and the old man stopped talking. The old man greeted Lin Shanchu warmly, Shanshan, lets eat. Alright. Lin Shanchu was starved, so she picked up some food and chowed down on it. The old man looked at Lin Shanchu and sighed. Yun Wu will dine here every time she returns to Capital City. Lin Shanchu paused and swallowed the food in her mouth. Then, she smiled and said, Yun Wu will probably have time toe back after she is done with her work. The old man said with a smile, However, Yun Wus favorite food is cooked by our familys chef. Ill treat you to dinner at my ce when youre free. Lin Shanchu replied slowly, Alright. He was so enthusiastic that he invited her to his house for dinner on their first meeting Huo Zhuxiu, who had not had a chance to interrupt their conversation, finally found an opportunity after the meal. Dad, Ill get someone to drive you home. Huo Zhuxiu stood beside the old man with his head slightly lowered, showing a submissive posture. No need. The old man waved his hand and refused, The chauffeur drove me here. You dont have to make other arrangements. Huo Zhuxiu thought of getting someone to send the old man away first because he still had something to say to Lin Shanchu. It was natural that he would not give up so easily. Just as he was about to continue speaking, the old man already turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, where do you live? Ill give you a ride home. The old man ced one hand behind his back and looked concernedly at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu nced at Huo Zhuxiu, whose face had darkened, and replied obediently, Alright. Huo Zhuxiu watched helplessly as Lin Shanchu helped the old man leave. After taking two steps, Lin Shanchu turned around and said with a smile, President Huo, thank you for treating me to dinner. Anger welled up inside Huo Zhuxius heart, but he swallowed it and replied, Youre wee. As soon as they got into the car, the old man asked Lin Shanchu, What did he say to you? Lin Shanchu realized that he referred to Huo Zhuxiu. The old mans expression was not as gentle as before, bing a little serious. Lin Shanchu pondered for two seconds before telling the truth. He said that as long as I follow his arrangements, I can be a woman worthy of Huo Chaosheng. After hearing those words, the old man sneered and scolded, Scoundrel! Lin Shanchu blinked and pretended not to hear anything. What do you think? When the old man looked at Lin Shanchu, his tone softened. Lin Shanchu summarized what she had said earlier, He has his own rules and I have mine. Everyone will y by their rules. It meant that she would never follow Huo Zhuxius arrangements. The old manughed heartily. No wonder that scoundrel was so angry. After he finishedughing, Lin Shanchu asked, Grandpa, did Huo Xunzhou ask you toe? When the old man heard her words, he looked at Lin Shanchu seriously for a while and said in a mysterious tone, Xunzhou calls me Grandfather, and you call me Grandpa? It was an indirect acknowledgement of Lin Shanchus words. Lin Shanchu reservedly pursed her lips and rolled her eyes as she looked away. Then, she whispered, Yun Wu and I are friends. Yun Wus grandpa is my grandpa. The old man did not expose her and said with a smile, Xunzhou was afraid that you wouldnt be able to deal with that scoundrel. He came to drink tea with me for an entire afternoon before I agreed toe over to take care of the situation. Oh. Huo Xunzhou always liked to secretly do things that concerned her. However, Ive been sent on a fools errand today. Thedy was beautiful, smart and strong-minded. There was no need for him to go and take care of the situation at all. Lin Shanchu shook her head and said sincerely, Actually, I was a little afraid of him. Fortunately, you came over. The old man pursed his lip and said, Alright, were family. Jus drop the pretense. She was speechless. They were a family now? The car stopped at the hotel entrance. Before Lin Shanchu got out of the car, the old man reminded her, When are you free? Is something the matter, Grandpa? Lin Shanchu asked. I want to invite you to my house for dinner. The old mans eyes suddenly looked sorrowful. Lin Shanchu widened her eyes in surprise. She thought that the old man was just making a casual remark. Xunzhou has been living in exile since he was young. Those who helped him are benefactors of the Yun family. Your mother was Xunzhous teacher, but she passed away. As Xunzhous grandfather, I want to invite you to my house for dinner. The old mans eyes were faintly sparkling with tears. As he spoke, he choked with sobs. Lin Shanchu felt a lump in her throat as she heard those words. I have to check my schedule. Ill contact you afterward. Is that okay with you? It was not within her authority to simply reject or postpone her jobs. Great! The old man nodded and said repeatedly, Great! When Lin Shanchu got out of the car, she was still thinking about what the old man had said. Huo Xunzhou never told her his background in detail. However, she heard rumors that Huo Xunzhou was an orphan. Huo Xunzhou must have been living in exile since childhood. It must have happened before he was three years old. People would only start to remember things after they were three years old. He was still so young at that time, so he must have lived a tough life. Lin Shanchu unknowingly walked to the hotel room entrance. She took out her room card and opened the door. He Xiang ran over as soon as she heard themotion. Sister Lin, you He Xiang was shocked when she noticed Lin Shanchus eyes was slightly red-rimmed. Sister Lin, whats wrong? Lin Shanchu rubbed her teary eyes and said sadly, Its nothing. I just feel that Huo Xunzhou was pitiful as a child. Huo Xunzhou said that she was hard-hearted and ruthless. That was not the case. She was clearly so soft-hearted andpassionate. Qi Cheng also walked over. Shanshan, did his father give you a hard time? His father wants to give me a hard time, but I dont intend to give him the chance, Lin Shanchu said as she walked into the room. Qi Cheng frowned and followed behind her. Huo Zhuxiu isnt an ordinary person, you cant let your guard down. I know. Patriarch Yun scolded Huo Zhuxiu for being a scoundrel and Huo Xunzhou pretended to be disabled after returning to the Huo Family. All signs showed that Huo Zhuxiu was a difficult person to deal with. It was much harder to deal with than Lu Shiyuan. However, Huo Zhuxiu was different from Lu Shiyuan. People like Huo Zhuxiu were good at solving problems in the quickest and most decisive way. When he felt that the problem was difficult to solve, he would choose to directly deal with the person who created the problem. What a coincidence. She never cared about her life.. Chapter 343 - 343: You Must Come Chapter 343 - 343: You Must Come Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu and Qi Cheng checked their schedules. She had to go for an audition tomorrow, so she was free the day after tomorrow. After confirming the time, Lin Shanchu immediately called Patriarch Yun. The old man was very happy when he received the call. He chatted with her for a long time before hanging up the phone. Qi Cheng waited for her to hang up the phone before asking curiously, You have other friends in Capital City?
Its Huo Xunzhous grandfather, Lin Shanchu replied with a smile. Qi Cheng frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he said, Yun Hongru! Yes, thats the name of the patriarch of the Yun family. Oh. She did not know the patriarchs name. Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu with aplicated expression and asked, invited you to his house for dinner? Yes. Lin Shanchu nodded happily and said, Hes a good person. The first thing he said when he saw her was that heplimented her on her beauty. Qi Cheng shook his head andughed. Shanshan, you dont know the reputation of Patriarch Yun when he was young, do you? Among the famous families in Capital City, no one in power is an easy mark. The more amiable the person, the more ruthless his methods are. Yeah, youre right. She had already experienced it. Qi Cheng carefully observed Lin Shanchu and found that other than seriousness and agreement, there was no other emotion on her face. She was really fearless. First, Huo Zhuxiu met her in person. Then, Yun Hongru invited her to his house for dinner. Thetter had a greater background, so Qi Cheng was trembling with fear when he heard about them. However, she acted as if nothing had happened. Qi Cheng smiled helplessly and reminded, Be careful. Lin Shanchu nodded and yawned. Im sleepy. Ill go to sleep. The next day, Huo Chaosheng called Lin Shanchu. Huo Zhuxiu came to you? Yes, after I finished work yesterday, he sent someone to pick me up and treat me to a meal at Boya Hotel. Lin Shanchus tone was so calm that it sounded like she had just had a simple meal with Huo Zhuxiu. You Huo Chaosheng suddenly fell silent right after opening his mouth. A momentter, Huo Chaosheng sneered. Should I exin our rtionship to him Theres no need. Ive already offended him anyway. He wants to kill me now for sure. Are you really not afraid of death? Huo Chaosheng was a little speechless. Even a pervert like him felt that Lin Shanchu was a lunatic. Lin Shanchu justughed and did not say anything. Huo Chaosheng kindly reminded her, In that case, be careful when you go out these days. Alright. Huo Chaosheng hung up the phone Lin Shanchu kept her phone in front of her and spun it at an irregr pace. Wealthy families were really intriguing. Huo Zhuxiu did not care much about his own son. Instead, he cared more about Huo Chaosheng. On the other hand, Huo Chaosheng obviously disliked Huo Zhuxiu. Otherwise, Huo Chaosheng would not have called him by his name. However, Huo Chaosheng really liked Huo Xunzhou, who was disliked by Huo Zhuxiu. Therefore, Huo Xunzhou was at the top of the Huo familys food chain. He was really amazing. Lin Shanchu turned on WeChat and sent Huo Xunzhou a message. Lin Shanchu: [Brother Xunzhou, you are so awesome.] Huo Xunzhou replied quickly. Huo Xunzhou: [I am inferior to you, Shanshan.] Lin Shanchu: Huo Xunzhou: [Grandfather told me about what happened yesterday.] After Yun Hongru and Lin Shanchu parted ways yesterday, he called Huo Xunzhou and told him everything happened at Boya Hotel in detail. Yun Hongru also emphasized how Lin Shanchu had angered Huo Zhuxiu. Huo Xunzhou knew that Lin Shanchu had been busy with filming in the past few days and that she had not suffered any losses from Huo Zhuxiu, so he did not contact her, lest he would disturb her rest. Lin Shanchu did not know what Yun Hongru had told Huo Xunzhou about the incident yesterday. However, Huo Zhuxiu was Huo Xunzhous father after all, so she felt that she had to exin herself. Lin Shanchu: [I wanted to be more polite to him.] Lin Shanchu carefully read the message she sent twice. She felt that it was dull and insincere, so she added an emoji. Lin Shanchu: [ [Obedient.jpg]] This time, Huo Xunzhou sent a voice message. Lin Shanchu tapped on it. And then? The mans deep voice came from the phone, sounding more realistic. However, Lin Shanchu had a feeling that he was trying to hold back hisughter. Lin Shanchu looked around and found that there was no one nearby, so she sent him a voice message. But he wanted to make arrangements for me She could not stand this humiliation. Therefore, she could not be med for what had happened. Huo Zhuxiu asked for it, whereas she was innocent. Huo Xunzhou tapped on the voice message and listened carefully. After that, he smiled and listened to it a few more times. Thedys voice was soft and a little aggrieved. She was cute and pitiful, just like a kitten. He had watched every single episode of Top Feast that showed Lin Shanchu. She delivered her lines effectively. Even when she pretended to be obedient and pitiful in front of him, she could instantly melt his heart. Huo Xunzhou held back hisughter and replied, Yeah. Lin Shanchu pondered over Huo Xunzhous tone. It was calm and did not sound different from usual the tone. In other words, Huo Xunzhou did not really care about this incident. After all, Huo Zhuxiu did not treat him well. It did not matter. Huo Zhuxiu treated him poorly, but she could be nice to him. Lin Shanchu sent him a voice message. Im going to the Yun family for dinner tomorrow. You will be there, wont you? Huo Xunzhou was about to reply to her. After typing the words Of course , Lin Shanchu sent two messages. The first one was a voice message. You muste. The second message was an emoticon of a kitten lying on the ground looking ahead eagerly, apanied by the words I missed you. Huo Xunzhou deleted the word Of course. Then, he quickly typed two words and sent the message. Definitely. That night, Lin Shanchu was followed by someone on her way back from the audition. He Xiang first noticed that something was wrong with the truck behind them and asked, Is the truck behind us tailing us? Lin Shanchu looked behind and saw a truck. This truck has been tailing us since we came out of the audition. When she came out of the audition earlier, she saw this truck at the entrance. She had a good memory and remembered the license te at first nce. Ill try to shake off that truck. He Xiangs driving skills were getting better. When she was in Xu City, she often easily got rid of the paparazzi who were tailing them. Of course, Wen Huan was an exception. However, the truck that was tailing them today was even more difficult to deal with than Wen Huan. He Xiang did not shake off the truck until they reached the hotel entrance. The truck tailed them all the way to the hotel entrance. He Xiang thought that since they had arrived at the hotel entrance, the truck driver would definitely not dare to act rashly in public. She stopped the car and asked confusedly, What are they trying to do? Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment. Just she was about to speak, she heard He Xiang, who was usually quiet, start to curse and turn the steering wheel.. Chapter 344 - 344: Keep It Intact Chapter 344 - 344: Keep It Intact Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu turned around and saw the truck slowly start moving. In the next second, the truck crashed into their car as if it had lost control. Bang! Under the violent impact, the car lost control and crashed into a roadside fence. Fortunately, He Xiang had sensed the trucks intention in advance, so the truck only hit the edge of their car.
The truck driver seemed to be dissatisfied with this result and began to reverse, obviously preparing to crash into them again. Get out of the car! Lin Shanchu quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and jumped out. He Xiang and Qi Cheng also quickly unbuckled their seatbelts and jumped out of the car. When the truck crashed into the car again, it was already empty. The hotel manager heard themotion and recognized that it was Lin Shanchus car. Then, he called the police and ran over with security guards. Lin Shanchu got up from the ground without a second thought and grabbed He Xiang before running into the hotel. The truck turned in the direction of the hotel. When the driver saw Lin Shanchu and the others running into the hotel, they reluctantly stepped on the gas pedal and escaped. The manager ran over and asked concernedly, Miss Lin, we have called the police. Are you alright? Thank you, Im fine. Lin Shanchus expression became serious and cold. It was no longer as gentle as usual. The police arrived quickly. After taking a statement, they retrieved the surveince footage and left. Before leaving, a police said, We will contact you immediately if there is any progress. Lin Shanchu and the other two silently returned to the suite. Lin Shanchu noticed that He Xiangs face was a little pale. She had never encountered such an incident before, so it was normal for her to be frightened. He Xiang. He Xiang reacted slowly and raised her head with a lingering fear on her face. Go take a shower. Lin Shanchus voice was gentler than before. Come out and eat something after taking a shower. Then, get some rest. He Xiang nodded dumbfoundedly and got up to return to her room to take a shower. Only Qi Cheng and Lin Shanchu were left in the living room. Without waiting for Qi Cheng to ask a question, Lin Shanchu took the initiative and said, Its Huo Zhuxiu. Despte the old age, Huo Zhuxiu had quite a temper and made his move so fast. Qi Chengs expression changed. He instructed his men to make a move in public. Is he trying to warn us? Lin Shanchu did not reply directly. Instead, she said seriously, Brother Qi, our car has been wrecked. Judging from the truck drivers ruthlessness, they clearly aimed at killing everyone in the car, including Lin Shanchu. Qi Cheng stopped talking and looked unwell. He had survived the entertainment industry for so many years and had seen all kinds of methods. However, it was the first time he had encountered such an undisguised act of evil that ignored thew. Even Lu Shiyuan would cover up his evil deeds in a dignified manner. Huo Zhuxiu was even more difficult to deal with than Lu Shiyuan. It could even be said that there was no way to deal with him. It was because Huo Zhuxiu had absolute power, wealth and status to the point that he was almost impregnable. It was a dream to die together with Huo Zhuxiu. However Lin Shanchuughed lightly and her tone sounded more casual. Other than trying to kill me, he also wants to get back at me. When Huo Zhuxiu previously met her at Boya Restaurant, she challenged his authority and angered him. No matter how strong a person was, they would have their own weaknesses. In this world, no one was invulnerable. How can you stillugh? Qi Cheng swallowed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. For a moment, he did not know whether to be angry or worried for her. Dont worry, Lin Shanchu consoled Qi Cheng. Theres always a solution to everything. Qi Cheng looked at her speechlessly. Shortly afterwards, he looked rxed. There is Teacher Huo! Huo Xunzhou was Lin Shanchus boyfriend, so he could not ignore this incident. Moreover, Huo Zhuxiu was his father. Oh, thats right. Lin Shanchu nodded in agreement. Huo Xunzhou was indeed her boyfriend, but she could not just resign to her fate and count on him for everything. Moreover, she had brought this upon herself. Since she had provoked Huo Zhuxiu, it was natural that she had to bear the consequences. However, she had implicated Qi Cheng and He Xiang. She had to think of a way. During dinner, Huo Chaosheng called her. Huo Zhuxiu sent someone to deal with you? he asked gleefully. Huo Chaoshengughed even louder. Im happy for you that you survived. Lin Shanchu did not believe a single word he said. Im having dinner, so Im going to hang up. Lin Shanchu immediately hung up the phone. Soon, Huo Chaosheng sent a WeChat message. Huo Chaosheng: [You really dont need my help?] Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment before replying: [Lend me a car.] Huo Chaosheng: [ [picture][picture]] Huo Chaosheng flooded the screen with car photos. After sending the photos, Huo Chaosheng asked: [Which car do you want?] Lin Shanchu felt a little jealous. Rich people also had their troubles. They were worried that there were too many luxury cars and they did not know which one to drive. Lin Shanchu: [You choose.] Huo Chaosheng: [ [Picture] This one. This is my favorite car. Be careful and keep it intact.] Lin Shanchu: [Oh.] The incident today had put a lot of strains on He Xiang and Qi Cheng. After dinner, they went back to their rooms early to sleep. Lin Shanchu, on the other hand, could not fall asleep. She sat in the living room and watched TV out of boredom. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Lin Shanchu walked to the door and asked cautiously, Who is it? Room service. The familiar voice made Lin Shanchu smile instantly. She opened the door with a surprised look on her face. The tall man was wearing a waiters uniform and a mask. He stood at the door with a room service trolley, revealing only a pair of extremely recognizable charming eyes. The outfit fit him perfectly. His superior figure was wrapped in the tailored uniform and it was pleasing to her eye. The man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, good looks and a nice body was hers! At that thought, Lin Shanchu became even happier. She opened the door with a smile and let Huo Xunzhou in. Huo Xunzhou pushed the trolley in. Then, Lin Shanchu closed the door behind her and threw herself into his arms. Huo Xunzhou hugged her tightly and was about to push her away two secondster. Lin Shanchu understood his intention and exined, Im not injured. Huo Xunzhou was still worried. He pushed Lin Shanchu away and looked at her carefully before rxing slightly. Lin Shanchu pulled off his mask and stared at him with wide eyes. Her gaze was a little fiery. Huo Xunzhou looked away slightly and said in a hushed tone, Its good that youre fine. Get some rest today. Ill pick you up and take you to the Yun family tomorrow. You are leaving after you are here to see me? Lin Shanchu asked him softly. I still have take care of some matters. Huo Xunzhou patted her head and coaxed her gently.. Chapter 345 - 345: You Look Nothing Like My Son! Chapter 345 - 345: You Look Nothing Like My Son! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu pursed her lip slightly and moved her slender and beautiful fingers as she fiddled with the bow tie on his uniform. What is more important than me? Her nonchnt and soft voice was like a kittens paw scratching Huo Xunzhous heart, making him a little unbearable. Huo Xunzhous Adams apple bobbed and his gaze turned deep. Stop messing with me and behave.
His lowered voice was filled with restraint. Then you can leave. Lin Shanchu straightened his uniform bow tie that she had messed up. She dragged her voice and had a reluctant expression. Huo Xunzhou curled his lip helplessly. As if he had given up on himself, he loosened his bow tie and held her waist before taking two steps forward. Then, he pressed her against the door and kissed her hard. He was the one who demanded too much of her. Lin Shanchu had never been an obedientdy. She would only act obediently when she angered him or when she felt that she had done something wrong. She also had some ulterior motives in her mind. Sometimes he would willingly take the bait knowing that she was up to no good. When the kiss ended, both of them were panting. Huo Xunzhou extended his hand, rubbing gently against the corner of her lips with his warm fingers as he whispered into her ear. Shanshan, I wont leave tonight if you dont want to let me go. His breath brushed against her ear, making her ears warm. She shrunk her neck as if she had been scalded. Didnt you say that you still have to take care of some matters? What could be more important than you? When Huo Xunzhou saw her ears were red, he pinched them gently and asked her with a smile, Why are they so warm. Lin Shanchu realized that she had gotten herself into trouble. However, she was not flustered at all. I heard themotion in He Xiangs room. She has the habit ofing out to drink water after waking up. Lin Shanchus smile was as sly as a fox. Huo Xunzhou silently helped her tidy up her messy hair from the kiss. Then, he raised his chin slightly and looked down at her with his charming eyes. Lin Shanchu consciously helped him adjust his bow tie. After adjusting it, she pushed him away a little and sized him up seriously. He was really good-looking. He was dressed in a waiters uniform, looking noble like a young master concealing his identity for a private visit. Lin Shanchu reached out and pulled the mask over his ear to put it on him. Then, she revealed a satisfied expression and said, Hurry up and go. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and pinched her face as if he was venting his anger before pushing the room service trolley away. Lin Shanchu held onto the door and poked half of her body out, watching Huo Xunzhou leave. At the corner, Huo Xunzhou turned around and nced at her. Lin Shanchu could see his expression even though he was quite far away and wearing a mask. However, she knew his intention. He signaled her to close the door and return to her room. This time, Lin Shanchu obediently closed the door. Huo Xunzhou stared at the closed door for a moment before he pressed down on his mask and left with his head lowered. Lin Shanchu heard footsteps right after she closed the door. Sister Lin, why are you standing at the door? He Xiang walked over from the living room and asked nervously, Are you going out? The car crash earlier had left He Xiang with a lingering fear, so she was a little afraid to let Lin Shanchu go out. Lin Shanchu calmly opened the shoe cab, No, Im just here to see what shoes to wear to the Yun familys house tomorrow. Oh. He Xiang did not doubt Lin Shanchus words at all. Lin Shanchu walked inside after finished speaking. He Xiang caught up from behind and saw Lin Shanchus red ears, so she asked confusedly, Sister Lin, your ears are so red. Are you allergic to the ear piercings? Lin Shanchu was taken aback and said, Its a little hot. He Xiang:was puzzled. The weather was 20 degrees Celsius and the autumn air was refreshing, but Lin Shanchu felt hot? It waste at night. A ck car stopped in front of the Huo familys vi. The chauffeur got out of the car and respectfully opened the rear door. Huo Zhuxiu got out of the car and saw a butler waiting at the entrance. The butler came over and said, Sir, the young master is back. A hint of joy shed across Huo Zhuxius expressionless face as he asked, Chaosheng? Huo Zhuxius expression turned cold again when he saw the butlers strange expression. Is Xunzhou back? Yes. The butler nodded. Huo Zhuxiu lifted his feet and walked straight into the reception room. Pushing open the door to the reception room, Huo Zhuxiu saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the projection screen. An old film was ying on the screen. The picture was old and blurry, but Huo Xunzhou was watching it seriously. Naturally, a projector would not be ced in Huo Zhuxius reception room. The butler brought it over so that Huo Xunzhou could pass the time. Huo Xunzhou picked up the remote control and pressed the pause button. The progress bar showed that the 120-minute movie wasing to an end. Huo Xunzhou waited for him for nearly two hours. Huo Zhuxius expression remained unchanged even though he realized it. Do you have business with me? Huo Zhuxiu sat down opposite Huo Xunzhou with a cold expression, as if he was listening to an employee reporting work in thepany. Huo Xunzhou had one hand on the armrest of his wheelchair and the indifferent expression on his face was exactly the same as Huo Zhuxius. If you want to mend your rtionship with Chaosheng, dont do anything that will upset him. Huo Zhuxiu frowned unhappily and said, Youre really my own son. Youe back once in a blue moon. You want to teach me how to do things the moment you are back? Huo xunznous expression did notange at all. He said emotionlessly, HOW long has it been since Chaosheng came back? Huo Zhuxiu took a deep breath and his eyes darkened. As if his sore spot had been touched, he snorted coldly and stopped talking. If you dont want Chaosheng to date Lin Shanchu, I can help you deal with it. Also, shes my grandfathers guest. You should restrain yourself. Huo Zhuxiu grimaced even more when Huo Xunzhou mentioned Yun Hongru. Huo Zhuxiu directly ignored thetter half of Huo Xunzhous words. How are you going to deal with this? Thats none of your business. Huo Xunzhou said as he picked up the remote control and pressed the y button. He continued watching the movie as if no one else was around. Are you going to continue living like this Huo Zhuxiu knitted his brows as he cursed angrily, You look nothing like my son! There was nothing about this son that resembled him. He looked like his deceased mother and probably inherited the stubborn personality from her. Huo Xunzhou looked up at Huo Zhuxiu expressionlessly. He was still holding the remote control in his hand and kept pressing the volume up button until the volume was full. The sound of the film filled every corner of the room, overwhelming Huo Zhuxius voice. Huo Zhuxiu angrily left, mming the door loudly. Huo Xunzhou stared at the screen and slowly lowered the volume. The lights in the room were off. The light from the film shone brightly on Huo Xunzhous face, making it look blurry and surreal.. Chapter 346 - 346: They Never Started a Relationship Chapter 346 - 346: They Never Started a Rtionship Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The next day, Huo Xunzhou brought his men to the hotel to pick Lin Shanchu up for dinner at the Yun familys house and bumped into Huo Chaosheng, who came over to deliver the car keys. Third Brother, why are you here? Huo Chaosheng was delighted to see Huo Xunzhou. My grandfather invited Lin Shanchu to his house for dinner, Huo Xunzhou said calmly. I want to go too, Huo Chaosheng said excitedly.
My grandfather probably doesnt want to see you. Huo Xunzhous words instantly extinguished Huo Chaoshengs enthusiasm. Third Brother Do you want to be beaten out by my grandfather with a walking stick? Huo Chaosheng fell silent. That old man from the Yun family disliked him, whereas he did not have a good impression of that old man either. However, that old man was Huo Xunzhous grandfather. If heid a hand on the old man, Huo Xunzhou would be unhappy. Lin Shanchu, who was standing at the side, did not interrupt them. Instead, she listened to their conversation. Patriarch Yun disliked Huo Chaosheng because of Yun Wu. However. Lin Shanchu still did not know what Hilo C.haosheng had done to Yunwu. Huo Chaosheng turned his head and dejectedly looked at Lin Shanchu. You I cant hang out with you today. I have to go to the Yun familys house for dinner. Ill contact you another day. Lin Shanchu quickly interrupted Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng reacted quickly and did not mention the car keys. He put his hands in the pockets and repliedzily, Oh. Big Brother. Li MO walked over. Then, Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him. Taking advantage of the conversation between Huo Xunzhou and Li MO, Lin Shanchu gave Huo Chaosheng a look. Huo Chaosheng tacitly took out the car keys from his pocket and handed them to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu took the keys and stuffed them into her bag. Huo Xunzhou turned his head to look at her, as if he had sensed something. Lin Shanchu was drinking a ss of water while Huo Chaosheng was peeling an orange with his head down. Everything looked normal and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and turned to look at Li Mo. Get ready to go. On the surface, Lin Shanchu was drinking water, but in reality, she had been paying attention to Huo Xunzhous movements. Seeing that Huo Xunzhou did not notice that Huo Chaosheng had secretly given her the car keys, she was relieved. She stood up and said with a smile, Lets go. After Lin Shanchu dyed her hair back to ck, there was a subtle change in her temperament. At first nce, she looked much more obedient than before. She did not deliberately change her dressing style just because some elder treated her to dinner today, but her innocent-looking face had a natural advantage. As long as she restrained herself a little, she would be the kind of obedient and quietdy that the elders liked the most. However, the patriarch told her to drop the pretensest time. He must have known that she was neither gentle nor obedient by nature. In this way, she did not have to restrain herself. Huo Xunzhous gaze swept over andnded urately on Lin Shanchus face. You guys go down first. I have something to say to Chaosheng. Soon, only Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng were left in the room. Huo Chaosheng leaned over fawningly and asked, Third Brother, whats the matter? How do you n to deal with Lin Shanchus matter? Huo Xunzhou asked in a low voice. Huh? Huo Chaosheng thought for a moment and replied, Oh, youre talking about Huo Zhuxiu hiring someone to hit Lin Shanchu with a truck? Huo Xunzhous expression remained unchanged, but he tightened his grip on the armrest. Actually, Lin Shanchu and I are He doesnt want you to date Lin Shanchu. I will use my own method to help you deal with this matter. Huo Chaosheng was a little frustrated. Why did everyone have to cut him off today? He had no choice but to exin again that he and Lin Shanchu were not in that kind of rtionship. We are not To his surprise, Huo Xunzhou interrupted him again. This matter ends here. Huo Chaosheng felt helpless. He and Lin Shanchu had never started a rtionship, so what was the point of stopping of them? However, Huo Xunzhou was really concerned about him to the point that he had to help him deal with such a minor matter. After Yun Hongru retired from thepany, he had been living in the Yun familys old mansion. The old mansion had been passed down from his ancestors. It was located in the bustling area of the city center where every inch ofnd was worth an inch of gold. It was quiet in the midst of the bustle and priceless. After the car stopped, Lin Shanchu looked out the window and saw Yun Yi waiting at the entrance. Seeing Lin Shanchu get out of the car, Yun Yi walked up to her. Shanshan. Big Brother. Lin Shanchu nodded at him. Come in quickly. Grandpa got up early this morning and has been busy arranging people to clean up the courtyard and prepare the ingredients. Yun Yi led Lin Shanchu into the mansion. As they walked, he talked to her in a slow voice filled with warmth. The courtyard of the old mansion was lush with vegetation. She could see that it had been recently trimmed. Yun Yi noticed Lin Shanchus gaze and said with a smile, Grandpa insisted that these flowers and nts did not look good, so he instructed the servants to trim them early in the morning. Such a serious attitude made Lin Shanchu feel overwhelmed. How could this be an attitude of someone who simply invited her over for dinner? Lin Shanchu felt like she was meeting someones parents. The old house wasrge. Yun Yi walked Lin Shanchu for a while before they reached the main house. Yun Hongru was leaning on his walking stick and looked around at the entrance. When he saw Lin Shanchu, he stood still at the entrance and looked at her with a smile. You are here! Grandpa. Yun Yi turned to look at Lin Shanchu when he heard her calling him Grandpa. Where is Xunzhou? He needs to deal with some matters and will probablye back soon. Lin Shanchu was careful not to mention Huo Chaoshengs name. Lets ignore him for now. You guyse in first. Yun Hongru turned around and walked inside. After taking two steps, he turned around to check if Lin Shanchu was following him. Lin Shanchu followed Yun Hongru all the way. They did not meet many servants on the way, but the huge house did not seem deserted at all. Instead, it had a lively atmosphere like the New Year. Lin Shanchu thought that it was probably because this family was more humane. In the past, the Lu family had a lot of servants, but she always felt lonely. Yun Hongru took Lin Shanchu to the tea room for tea and even took out his phone to start a video call with Yun Wu. Yun Wu was probably at the backstage of a certain show. There were many peopleing and going around, and the background was a little noisy. Yun Wu! Yun Hongru called out to her with a smile. Grandpa, Im a little busy here. Can I video call you when I have time? You always say youre busy. Yun Hongru frowned upon hearing her words. I cant help it, but Im really busy, Yun Wu said coquettishly. Im going to hang up, okay? Yun Hongru snorted and turned the phone toward Lin Shanchu. Shanshan! Yun Wu looked surprised as she asked, You are at my house? Yeah. Lin Shanchu moved closer to the camera and looked inside carefully. Are you shooting a variety show? Thats right! Yun Wu forced a smile and said, Third Brother is really nice to me for giving me so much work.. Chapter 347 - 347: Big Baby Chapter 347: Big Baby Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Wu said through gritted teeth. If Huo Xunzhou had not arranged so much work for her to the point that she was tied up, she would have gone home by now to have fun! Lin Shanchu held back herughter and asked, Youll have time toe back after youre done with your work, right? Yun Wu nodded, feeling wronged. Yeah. Yun Wu Seeing that the two of them were chatting, the old man also came over. Yun Wu was about to continue shooting the variety show, so she waved at the camera. Grandpa, Ill hang up now. I have to continue shooting the show. The staff hade over to urge Yun Wu, so she had to end the video call. Dissatisfied, Yun Hongru muttered, You chatted with Shanshan, but when I talked to you, you said that you wanted to shoot a show Lin Shanchu pretended not to hear him and lowered her head to drink tea. Grandfather. Huo Xunzhous voice suddenly came from the entrance. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Li MO pushing Huo Xunzhou in. You are here. The old man picked up the teapot and asked Huo Xunzhou, Do you want some tea? Ill take Shanshan to meet Grandma first, Huo Xunzhou said with a smile. Lin Shanchu noticed that the old man looked disappointed when Huo Xunzhou mentioned his grandmother. Go ahead. Lin Shanchu got up and went outside with Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou exined to Lin Shanchu, My grandmother doesnt usually stay at home. Your grandma and grandpa have a conflict? No wonder the old man had such an expression just now. Yeah, Huo Xunzhou replied. Shortly afterwards, Lin Shanchu saw Huo Xunzhous grandmother. Yun Yi was talking softly to Huo Xunzhous grandmother, Grandma, its better toe back and live here. The olddy was wearing a velvet qipao and a pearl ne. Her outfit was simple, dignified and elegant. The olddy smiled and changed the topic naturally. You look a little thinner. No matter how busy you are with work, you have to take care of your health. Theres nothing more important than your health. I know, Grandma. The olddy nodded in satisfaction. She turned her head and saw Huo Xunzhou. Her expression froze for a moment before she smiled. Xunzhou. The olddy got up and walked over. She quickly noticed Lin Shanchu standing beside Huo Xunzhou. You are Shanshan, arent you? The olddy sized Lin Shanchu up with a gentle and loving gaze. Hello, Grandma. Lin Shanchu nodded slightly. The olddy was stunned for a moment before her smile deepened. Thats right. You should call me Grandma when youre friends with Yun Wu. Lin Shanchu started to be curious about what kind of conflict had caused such a gentle and easy-going olddy to move out. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at Lin Shanchu expressionlessly. Lin Shanchu blinked innocently and took a step forward to support the olddy. Grandma, lets sit down and chat. Yun Yi, who was sitting at the side, watched everything with a smile on his face. The dinner was sumptuous. Lin Shanchu was a little speechless. It was simply a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast. The old man took a photo with his phone and then lowered his head to fiddle with it. Lin Shanchu guessed that the old man had sent a photo to Yun Wu. As expected, Lin Shanchus phone vibrated. Yun Wu sent her a message: [ [screenshot] Ah, my grandfather is so annoying!] For a rice fanatic, there was nothing more agonizing than being able to look at it and not be able to eat it. Lin Shanchu took a photo of the scene and sent it to her: [[photo] Ill help you eat more.] Yun Wu: [ Doesnt your conscience hurt?] Lin Shanchu: [ [Hahaha.jpg]] Then, Lin Shanchu saw a message from Yun Wu inviting her to join a WeChat group. Lin Shanchu: Yun Wu: [Hurry up and join the group.] Lin Shanchu hesitated for a moment. She looked at the group name and felt that it was a family group or something Huo Xunzhou, She called out to Huo Xunzhou softly as she tugged at his sleeve under the table. Hmm? Huo Xunzhou leaned over slightly. Lin Shanchu showed Huo Xunzhou her phone. Huo Xunzhou nced down and reached out to her phone before tapping on the screen a few times with his slender fingers. By the time Lin Shanchu came to her senses, she had already joined the group. The group chat was flooded with messages. Troublemaker Second Brother: [I heard that Zhouzhou brought his wife home for dinner today?] Retired President: [@Troublemaker Second Brother, rascal, where have you been recently?] Retired Presidents wife: [Zhouzhou, youre really live up to our expectations. @Sessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother, Ah Yi, learn from Zhouzhou.] Little Darling: [[screenshot] Grandpa is so annoying!] Old Master: ? Little Darling,e home for dinner.] Sessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother: [Shanshan just joined the group.] The next moment, the notification Retired President recalled a message was disyed on the screen. Next, the notification Troublemaker Second Brother recalled a message was shown. Notifications of group members recalling messages one after another were disyed on the screen. Lin Shanchu was someone who had seen much of life. She pretended not to see the notifications of the various messages being recalled and sent a message to greet everyone. Lin Shanchu: [Hello everyone, I am Lin Shanchu.] Troublemaker Second Brother: [Hello, Sister-inw.] Retired President: [Hello, Shanshan.] Retired Presidents wife: [Shanshan, eat more and make yourself at home. We are on a vacation sincest month. Welle back to meet you in a few days.] Little Darling: [Shanshan!] Everyone was enthusiastic. Although everyone had nicknames, it was easy to guess who they were from their messages. Lin Shanchu had Yun Wu and Yun Yis WeChat contact, so there was no need to guess them. Retired President and Retired Presidents wife were the parents of the three siblings of the Yun family. Troublemaker Second Brother was probably Yun Wus second brother. Lin Shanchu had not seen these three people before. However, the nicknames of this family in the group was quite interesting. Yun Wus nickname in the group was Little Darling, which was considered normal. However, Yun Yis nickname was Sessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother. She felt funny when she looked at it. Who would have thought that the rresident, who was so popr outside, would be mocked in the family group because he did not have a wife? Lin Shanchu sent an emoticon of a well-behaved cat sitting on the floor to the group. Lin Shanchu: [well-behaved.jpg] Ill start eating.] The group members who were not at home sent her messages, asking her to eat more. This treatment was a little too good. Lin Shanchu looked up and whispered to Huo Xunzhou, Your family is so enthusiastic. Lets eat, Huo Xunzhou said with a smile. Before Lin Shanchu left the WeChat group, she suddenly thought of something and checked the list of members. She found Huo Xunzhous profile picture at a nce. She tapped on Huo Xunzhous profile picture and saw the nickname Big Baby in the group. Big baby Huo Xunzhou? He was an aloof Best Actor on the surface, but he was actually a big baby in the family group chat? Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. Turning his head sideways, he was talking to Yun Yi next to him. From Lin Shanchus angle, she could only see his smooth profile. His Adams apple was exposed through the slightly open shirt cor, appearing bewitching. Chapter 348 - 348: Lovable Chapter 348: Lovable Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After dinner, Huo Xunzhous grandmother had a conversation with Lin Shanchu. As they chatted, the olddy took out an exquisite gift box from her bag. I dont know what you like, but I thought thatdies probably like shiny things, so I prepared a ne. The olddys obvious gesture of giving a gift to her granddaughter-inw at their first meeting caused Lin Shanchu to be at a loss for words. Everyone in the Yun family treated her with kindness, just like when she first met Huo Xunzhou. She did not get this kind of treatment often, so she did not know how to deal with it. She looked up for Huo Xunzhou and tried to ask him for help. However, she could not find Huo Xunzhou at all after looking around. The olddy, who saw through Lin Shanchus thoughts at a nce, stuffed the gift box into her hands with a smile. Since youre already calling me Grandma, shouldnt a granddaughter-inw ept a gift from her grandma? Thank you, Grandma. Lin Shanchu felt that what she said made sense. She took the gift box and flipped it over. She looked up and asked the olddy, Can I open it now? The olddy nodded lovingly. Lin Shanchu opened the gift box and found a diamond ne. The diamond was transparent and sparkling with excellent color. Lin Shanchu kind of liked it, so her eyes brightened. Its so beautiful. I like it. Lin Shanchu looked up and saw that the olddys eyes were red C rimmed. The olddy turned her face away to calm herself down before turning back to continue speaking. Im sorry. I thought of Xunzhous mother. She loved diamonds since she was young. Her eyes lit up when she saw diamond jewelry. It was exactly the same as thedy in front of her. The olddy took a deep breath, lowered her eyes and said softly, When she passed away, she was a few years older than you. Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Xunzhous mother passed away early. Lin Shanchu did not say anything and held the olddys hand. The olddy held her hand and said, You and Xunzhou are both good children. Its not easy for both of you. You have to be well. Lin Shanchu guessed that the Yun family must have investigated her background long ago. Her past was not a secret. It was normal for a family like the Yun family to check the information of their grandsons girlfriend. Lin Shanchu did not mind at all. She nodded, looking very obedient. The olddy let go of her hand. Go find Xunzhou. Im old and my body is in poor health. I should go back and rest. Alright. Lin Shanchu got up and went out, only to see Yun Hongru hurriedly leaving with his walking stick and his back facing her. Did the old man eavesdrop on her conversation with the olddy just now? Lin Shanchu chased after him. Grandpa? The old man stopped and looked a little embarrassed. Lin Shanchu calmly sized him up and said, Grandma said shes going back to rest. The old man nodded as he replied, Yes, I heard it. As he spoke, he nced at the door of the room, as if he wanted to go over but dared not do so. Shanshan. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou. Where did you go just now? I went to answer a phone call. Huo Xunzhou noticed the gift box in Lin Shanchus hand. Grandma gave it to me, Lin Shanchu exined softly. Its a diamond ne. Its very beautiful. At this moment, the olddy also walked out of the room. The old man walked up to her with his walking stick and said cautiously, Shixian, why dont you stay at home today? The olddy replied coldly, Im not used to living here. Shanshan. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou when she heard him calling her. Huo Xunzhou hesitated for a moment before asking her seriously, Can you stay here for a few days? Lin Shanchu tilted her head and agreed readily. Sure. She knew that Huo Xunzhou wanted to use her to mend the rtionship between the old couple. Huo Xunzhou took her hand and whispered, Thank you. Youre wee. Lin Shanchu whispered into his ear, Its rare for a big baby to beg me. Huo Xunzhous expression froze instantly. Then, he said helplessly, The nickname in the group chat was changed by my aunt Oh. Lin Shanchu blinked and said, Grandma is leaving. She pushed Huo Xunzhou over. Grandma, Shanshan has been staying in a hotel since she came to Capital City. I want her to stay at our house. Of course, thats great. The hotel is definitely not asfortable as home. When the olddy faced Huo Xunzhou, she immediately changed her expression and became unusually gentle. She can keep youpany. Huo Xunzhou added. When the olddy heard those words, her expression froze for a moment. She Imew her grandson well, so she immediately understood what Huo Xunzhou was up to. After a while, the olddy nodded. Alright. After deciding to stay with the Yun family, Huo Xunzhou asked Li MO to drive Lin Shanchu to the hotel to pack her things. When Lin Shanchu arrived at the Yun familys house with her luggage, she met Cheng Fanjing at the entrance. Cheng Fanjing frowned when she saw Lin Shanchu. What was this woman doing in the Yun family? Lin Shanchu ignored Cheng Fanjing and walked in. Cheng Fanjing took a deep breath, adjusted her expression and walked in with a smile. When Cheng Fanjing arrived at the entrance, a servant had gone inside to inform the family. She was brought to the reception room. Yun Hongru was already waiting for her inside. Grandpa Yun, Cheng Fanjing said as she nodded respectfully. Yun Hongru smiled and pointed at the chair, gesturing for her to sit down. Fanjing, why are you free toe over today? My grandfather has just recovered from a serious illness. His birthday will be in a few days and he wants to hold a birthday banquet. However, his body is still recovering and he needs more rest, so he left the job of sending invitations to me. Cheng Fanjing handed the invitation to Yun Hongru with both hands. Yun Hongru took it and nced at it. Go back and tell your grandfather that Ill be there. The aristocratic families were all inextricably linked. The Cheng family and the Yun family had always been in contact. Since the other family asked their granddaughter to personally send the invitation, so they had to give face. The invitation was epted and the matter was over. Under normal circumstances, Cheng Fanjing should have left. However, she did not get up. Cheng Fanjing held the teacup and asked casually, Do you have guests today? Yes, shes the daughter of Xunzhous teacher. Unfortunately, her mother is no longer alive, so I invited her over for dinner and let her stay for a few days to express my gratitude. Yun Yi had told Yun Hongru that Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu did not want to announce their rtionship yet, so he only told Cheng Fanjing what everyone knew. Cheng Fanjings eyes shed. I see. Youre really kind. In life, one should know how to repay kindness. Yun Hongru leaned on his walking stick with both hands and the expression on his face faded a little. Moreover, Shanshan has a good temper. She is pretty, obedient and lovable. Yun Hongru knew that Cheng Fanjing had always looked down on Huo Xunzhou. His grandson was so outstanding that there were plenty of gooddies who liked him! Chapter 349 - 349: Going Out on a Date Openly Chapter 349 - 349: Going Out on a Date Openly Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Cheng Fanjing was born in the scheming Cheng family, so she was notpletely brainless. She looked a little awkward as she could tell the implict meaning behind Yun Hongrus words. However, Yun Hongru was an elder. In addition, he did not say it directly, so she could only pretend that she did not understand anything. Grandpa Yun, you are right, she agreed. After saying that, she turned to look out the window. Its gettingte. I should go back. Grandpa Yun, Ill be leaving now.
Get home safe. Yun Hongru was sitting on a chair, smiling and looking kind. After leaving the reception room, Cheng Fanjing could no longer maintain the calm expression on her face. Although Yun Hongru had already retired from thepany and handed over all the power in his hands, he had been in the business world for many years and was still a prestigious existence. The juniors of the various aristocratic families were somewhat wary of Yun Hongru and could not easily offend him. Cheng Fanjing could only put the me on Huo Xunzhou. It was all the fault of that cripple, Huo Xunzhou. He was lost at such a young age. Why did hee back after so many years? Why didnt he just die out there? Grandma Yun took the servants to clean up the bedroom for Lin Shanchu. The bedroom was spacious and had a good orientation. Grandma Yun instructed the servants to clean up the room while reminding Lin Shanchu, If you dont feelfortable living here orck anything, you have to tell me Okay, thank you, Grandma. As Lin Shanchu spoke, she looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou by the door. Grandma Yun noticed her gaze and looked over. Xunzhou, you are here. Huo Xunzhou smiled but did not say anything. He just stood there quietly. After a while, when the room was almost ready, Grandma Yun found an excuse to leave, leaving the room for Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. There was no one else in the room, so Huo Xunzhou dropped the pretense. He stood up straight and closed the door. Why did you close the door? Lin Shanchu was sitting on the armchair with her legs crossed. She leaned forward with her elbows on her knees and looked at him. She deliberately dragged her flirtatious voice, tugging at his heartstrings. Huo Xunzhou walked over slowly and ced his hands on the armrests on both sides of the sofa, encircling her in front of him. He looked down at her and pressed his body down bit by bit, constantly closing the distance between them. It was until he could feel Lin Shanchus slightly tense breathing. Dont look at me with such anticipation. Im here to talk business with you. The joy in his voice was too obvious, making him look particrly unrestrained. Lin Shanchus expression froze as she shouted, Im not anticipating it! Seeing the smile in his charming eyes deepen, Lin Shanchu was a little angry. I did anticipate it, so what? No matter how she looked at it, she felt that he wanted to kiss her when he leaned over. Her boyfriend wanted to kiss her, so what if she anticipated it? The more Lin Shanchu thought about it, the more she felt that she was in the right. Youre the one whos indecent, and youre ming meMmph Before she could finish speaking, the kissnded on her lips. Lin Shanchu closed her eyes lightly, lookin satisfied. She knew it. He just wanted to kiss her. The next second, the kiss was interrupted by a knock on the door. Huo Xunzhou stood up in frustration. Its Grandfather. If someone knocked on the door, he could pretend that he was not there or that he did not hear it. You can tell that its Grandpa just by hearing the knock on the door? Lin Shanchu looked at him with admiration. You have no conscience. Huo Xunzhou reached out and pinched her face as if he was venting his anger. She looked like she hadpletely pulled herself out of the kiss. Lin Shanchu frowned and pushed his hand away. Ill open the door. She opened the door and saw Yun Hongru standing outside. I heard that Xunzhou is here with you? Yun Hongru spoke as he looked inside. Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at Huo Xunzhou, who had already returned to his wheelchair. Grandpa is looking for you. Yun Hongru walked in and handed Huo Xunzhou the invitation card sent by Cheng Fanjing. The Cheng family sent an invitation. Do you want to go? After Huo Xunzhou finished reading the invitation card, he nced at Lin Shanchu for some reason. Then, he asked Yun Hongru, Has Patriarch Cheng recovered? Speaking of which, its a superstition. After his daughter was found, his illness really got better day by day. Yun Hongru raised his eyebrows and sighed. Its really hard to exin superstitions. Yun Hongru suddenly realized that he was like an extra in this room. Hence, he stood up straight with the help of his walking stick and said, I still have something to do, so Ill leave now. You guys can continue chatting. A young couple was dating in a room with the door closed. An old man like him did not want to stay here and be a third wheel. Yun Hongru did not even need to use his walking stick. He picked up his walking stick and left quickly. Lin Shanchu watched him leave and muttered, Grandpa is really in good health. Huo Xunzhouughed and handed the invitation card to Lin Shanchu. Do you want to go? Lin Shanchu took it curiously. She flipped the invitation card over and over again and her eyes widened. Is this invitation card gold-ted? Was this the so-called high society? It was so extravagant. This kind of invitation card, which was ordered in bulk but used only once, turned out to be gold-ted. Huo Xunzhouughed and replied seriously, Yes. He asked her to look at the contents of the invitation card, but she first paid attention to its material. The rich people in Capital City are too extravagant, Lin Shanchu said as she sat down beside Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou smiled at her and said, If you like it, we can have gold-ted invitation cards for our wedding. Alternatively, we can have diamond-ted invitation cards. He sounded like he was joking, but he said it seriously. You want to marry me so badly? In Lin Shanchus memory, it was not the first time Huo Xunzhou had mentioned marriage. Huo Xunzhous gaze deepened. Just as Lin Shanchu thought he was going to say something, he changed the topic. Are you going? he asked Lin Shanchu again if she wanted to attend the birthday banquet of Patriarch Cheng. Yes. Lin Shanchus eyes were filled with excitement. I can meet an old friend. He wondered how Tang Qidai was doing after she was brought back to the Cheng family. She wondered if Lu Shiyuan had contacted Tang Qidai. No, she should be called Cheng Qidai now. Huo Xunzhou held her hand slowly and said, Lets go together. Hmm? They were going together? Was it appropriate? Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers that were tightly intertwined with hers. His tone was unusually gentle. Shanshan, do you want to hold my hand and go out on a date openly? This question was a little sudden. Lin Shanchu thought about it seriously. In her opinion, there was not much difference between an open date and a secret date. In fact, she still found it quite exciting after having secret dates for a long time. Huo Xunzhou knew Lin Shanchu very well. He knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression. Before Lin Shanchu could say something he did not want to hear, he said, I do.. Chapter 350 - 350: Climb Faster Chapter 350 - 350: Climb Faster Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou apanied Patriarch Yun to attend the birthday banquet of Patriarch Cheng on that day. Capital City was huge, but there were only these people in this circle. There were no secrets to speak of at all. The news of Lin Shanchu staying at the Yun familys mansion had spread throughout the upper-ss society ofCapital City. Therefore, when everyone saw Lin Shanchu attending the banquet with them, no one was surprised and asked about it. However, a few people looked at Lin Shanchu curiously.
Lin Shanchu saw Huo Zhuxiu and Huo Chaosheng as soon as she entered the banquet hall. Huo Chaosheng had his hands in his pockets as he stood beside Huo Zhuxiu with azy expression. When Huo Zhuxiu spoke to him, he had a nonchnt expression. When Huo Chaosheng turned around and saw Lin Shanchu, his eyes instantly brightened and he was about to walk over. Huo Zhuxiu also caught a glimpse of Lin Shanchu. Then, he grabbed Huo Chaoshengs arm and dragged him to greet the elders. Lin Shanchu stood behind Huo Xunzhou and helped him push the wheelchair. She leaned over slightly and whispered into his ear, Your dad really cares about Huo Chaosheng. Her tone was casual, as if it was a casual remark. However, Huo Xunzhou felt indignant. He has always been like this. Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly and ced his hand on hers, trying tofort her. Stunned, Lin Shanchu instantly pulled her hand out and asked, What are you doing? How could he touch her hand in public? Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. From Lin Shanchus angle, she could vaguely see his curled lip with a hint of smugness. Huo Zhuxiu appeared in front of them at some point. You are here. Lin Shanchu looked up and noticed that Huo Chaosheng was no longer beside Huo Zhuxiu. She did not see Huo Chaosheng after looking around, so she guessed that Huo Zhuxiu had deliberately sent him away. Why was Huo Zhuxiu on guard against her so much? Huo Xunzhou nced at Huo Zhuxiu expressionlessly before turning to Lin Shanchu with a gentle expression. Are you tired? Do you want to take a break first or apany me to greet Patriarch Cheng? Huo Zhuxiu knitted his brows. Lin Shanchu blinked and said thoughtfully, Lets say greet him first. Alright, Huo Xunzhou said gently. Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou toward Huo Zhuxiu and said politely, President Huo, please make way. Huo Zhuxiu looked at Lin Shanchu and then at Huo Xunzhou. He frowned even more. A hint of impatience shed across Lin Shanchus eyes as she pushed Huo Zhuxiu away with her shoulder. Speechless, Huo Zhuxiu turned to look at Lin Shanchu in disbelief. Lin Shanchu turned her head to look at him. She had an innocent face, looking weak, harmless and easily bullied, but she looked unruly when she raised her eyes. Huo Zhuxiu narrowed his eyes and sneered silently. A few days ago, he hired someone to kill Lin Shanchu on the street by hitting her with a truck. To his surprise, she was not only be fearless when she saw him again, but she also dared to provoke him arrogantly. It had been a long time since he had seen such a courageousdy. Unfortunately, her background was a little inferior. Lin Shanchu saw Tang Qidai beside Patriarch Cheng Tang Qidai was dressed in a haute couture gown and the jewelry she wore was no worse than Cheng Fanjing, who was sitting on the other side of Patriarch Cheng. It seemed like Tang Qidai was doing well in the Cheng family. While Huo Xunzhou and Patriarch Cheng were talking, Tang Qidai walked over to Lin Shanchu. After the patriarch saw me, his illness gradually improved. Do you know what this is called? Tang Qidai looked at Lin Shanchu proudly. Lin Shanchu nced at her with a rxed expression, Blind luck? Tang Qidais expression froze for a moment before she snorted. This is called when one door shuts, another opens! When I left Xu City, I told you that you would never be able to catch up to me. Tang Qidai felt as if she had vented her anger. She looked at Lin Shanchu carefully, trying to find a trace of anger and resentment on her face. However, she was disappointed. Lin Shanchu had her signature gentle smile on her face, and she could not see any other emotions. Tang Qidai leaned close to her ear and whispered through gritted teeth, Just wait. I will climb to the top step by step and return all the humiliation you gave me in the past! Lin Shanchu chuckled. Then you have to climb faster. Im impatient and I cant wait too long. She really felt bored without Tang Qidai around. Tang Qidai loathed Lin Shanchus confident expression. However, she had just returned home not long ago and had not regained firm footing, so she could not do anything to Lin Shanchu. In the future, she would definitely make Lin Shanchu cry and kneel in front of her to admit defeat! Patriarch Cheng was superstitious. After listening to a masters words that treating his children well could umte virtue and prolong life, he sent people to look for those lovechilren whom he had in the past. After Tang Qidai was found, Patriarch Chengs health improved day by day. Patriarch Cheng thought that Tang Qidai was his lucky star and doted on her very much. Even his favorite granddaughter, Cheng Fanjing, was now neglected by Patriarch Cheng Cheng. After Huo Xunzhou finished chatting with Patriarch Cheng, he turned around and waved at Lin Shanchu. Shanshan,e here. Lin Shanchu walked over in confusion. Grandpa Cheng, this is my teachers daughter, Shanshan. Huo Xunzhou grabbed Lin Shanchus hand when she walked over. Patriarch Cheng looked away from their hands and said with a smile, Thisdy is beautiful, clever and looks lovable. Grandpa Cheng praised you. Why dont you thank him? Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly to look at Lin Shanchu. His gaze was as gentle as water. Huo Xunzhou was still holding Lin Shanchus hand. No matter how hard she tried, and she couldnt pull back her hand. Was this what Huo Xunzhou meant openly? Wasnt this a little too openly? She cooperated with Huo Xunzhou and said obediently, Thank you, Grandpa Cheng. I wish you a long and happy life. Although it was just a cheesy and auspicious blessing, the old man loved to hear it. Furthermore, Lin Shanchu sounded sincere. Good child, thank you, Patriarch Cheng said with a smile. Huo Xunzhou only let go of Lin Shanchus hand when he turned to leave. Is this what you mean by being openly? Lin Shanchu asked him in a low voice. Wait for me in the resting area, Huo Xunzhou said with a smile. Lin Shanchu caught a glimpse of Huo Zhuxius cold gaze out of the corner of her eye. He was holding the wine ss so tightly that his knuckles were turning white.. Chapter 351 - 351: What a Coincidence, He Will Do Anything for Me Too Chapter 351: What a Coincidence, He Will Do Anything for Me Too Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu did not know many people at the banquet, so no one paid attention to her when she sat in the resting area. After Lin Shanchu left, Huo Zhuxiu walked up to Huo Xunzhou. Suppressing his anger, he questioned Huo Xunzhou in a low voice, Whats going on between you and Lin Shanchu? I told you that I can help you deal with the matter between her and Chaosheng. Huo Xunzhous tone was casual and natural as he indifferently nced in Lin Shanchus direction. You Huo Zhuxiu was at a loss for words. He was so shocked that he almost lost control of his voice. Is this how you handle it? What else? Huo Xunzhou retorted righteously, Do you have a way to get the best of both worlds? Why do you have to put in so much effort for this kind of woman? Huo Zhuxiu looked at Huo Xunzhou with disappointment. He thought that Huo Xunzhou had some brilliant way to deal with this matter. To his surprise, Huo Xunzhou stepped in and got himself involved. That woman called Lin Shanchu was really fickle. She was still in contact with Chaosheng before, and now she easily hooked up with Xunzhou. If thats the case, Ill let her continue to pester Chaosheng, Huo Xunzhous eyes turned cold. Huo Zhuxiu had a lump in his throat as he said sternly, Mind your attitude when you talk to me! Huo Xunzhou did not bother to look at him and said, Of course, you can y the same old trick, but now she is my grandfathers guest. My grandmother is also very fond of her. As for how it is going to end, thats up to you. Back then, Huo Xunzhous parents had a business marriage. Although Huo Xunzhous mother had passed away many years ago, Huo Zhuxiu had always been respectful to Yun Hongru on the surface all these years. He had to call Yun Hongru Dad when he met him in public. The two families had been dealing with each other for so many years, and both sides knew each other very well. Even if Huo Zhuxiu wanted to kill Lin Shanchu, he could not do it for Yun Hongrus sake. However, he could not just let Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng develop their rtionship like this. It would be even more difficult to deal with them as time passed. In that case, Huo Xunzhou stepping in to snatch Lin Shanchu away was the best solution. After all, Huo Chaosheng cared about his brother, Huo Xunzhou. He could not possibly snatch Huo Xunzhous woman. Huo Zhuxiu pondered for a moment before he came to his senses. Are you threatening me? Chaosheng went over. Huo Xunzhou acted as if he had not heard anything and continued to look in Lin Shanchus direction. Huo Zhuxiu turned around and saw that Huo Chaosheng had walked up to Lin Shanchu. The two of them were sitting together and chatting with smiles on their faces, looking like they were having a good time. Seeing this, Huo Zhuxiu stopped talking. He waved his hand and called for someone to push Huo Xunzhou over. Ever since Huo Chaosheng came to Lin Shanchus side, many people were looking at them. Youre quite popr. Lin Shanchu looked around and realized that the people who were looking at them were all socialites. Huo Chaosheng was not interested in poprity at all. Instead, he was more interested in the rtionship between Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. Whats going on between you and my Third Brother? Huh? Lin Shanchu yed dumb. Huo Chaosheng leaned over and fixed his gaze on her face. I saw him touching your hand just now. Lin Shanchu met his gaze and said calmly, Were dating. Lin Shanchu admitted that she was making a bet when she frankly talked about this matter. Both she and Huo Xunzhou hadplicated feelings for Huo Chaosheng. They seemed to be close, but they were wary of each other and hid things from each other. But what if both sides let down their guard and became more honest? What would happen? Would Huo Chaosheng deal with her like how he dealt with Yun Wu in the past? Huo Chaosheng stood rooted to the ground and did not speak for a long time. After some time, Huo Chaosheng said disdainfully, The sky hasnt turned dark, and yet youre already dreaming? Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Tell me, do you have a hold over my Third Brother? Be sensible and hand it over. Dont force me to make a move. Lin Shanchu was furious. Her face darkened and she kicked him expressionlessly. To hell with it! Huo Chaosheng implied that Huo Xunzhou would never like her. How could she be unworthy of Huo Xunzhou? Huo Chaosheng did not get angry on the spot. Instead, he snorted coldly and said, Third brother must have had no choice but to get together with you! Speechless, Lin Shanchu wanted to kill Huo Chaosheng on the spot. Unfortunately, she did not have any tools tomit the crime. What are you talking about? Huo Xunzhou was pushed to the front. Third Brother! Huo Chaosheng moved closer to Huo Xunzhou and whispered like a whiny primary school student, Lin Shanchu said that youre dating her. Huo Xunzhou was taken aback for a moment before he said, To be more precise, Im the one pursuing her. He did not deliberately control his voice, so Lin Shanchu heard him. Lin Shanchu was confused. He was pursuing her? Impossible! Huo Chaosheng did not believe him. I even want to marry her, Huo Xunzhou said gently. Huo Chaosheng frowned at Lin Shanchu. From the way Huo Chaosheng was looking at Lin Shanchu, it was as if she had sullied Huo Xunzhou. She red at Huo Chaosheng expressionlessly. Huo Chaosheng averted his gaze and shook his head in disbelief. Back then, he misunderstood the rtionship between Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu. He was careless, so he would not believe it so easily this time. If Huo Xunzhou really wanted to fall in love, he would definitely find the most perfect woman in the world. Lin Shanchu was quite good-looking, but she was sick. Third Brother would not like such a sick woman. Huo Chaosheng suddenly remembered what Huo Xunzhou had said to him before. Third Brother, dont tell me you did it for me? The more Huo Xunzhou denied it, the more Huo Chaosheng felt that Huo Xunzhou was hiding something. My rtionship with Lin Shanchu is really not what you think it is. He hurriedly exined, You dont have to make such a big sacrifice for me. What kind of rtionship is that? Lin Shanchue over at some point. Dont add fuel to the fire! Huo Chaosheng shouted. Your Third Brother knows about our rtionship, but he doesnt mind Lin Shanchu said innocently. Huo Chaosheng said, You Xunzhou. Yun Yis voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Huo Chaosheng before he could finish his words. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him. Big Brother. While Yun Yi was talking to Huo Xunzhou, Huo Chaosheng pulled Lin Shanchu aside with a cold face. He warned Lin Shanchu with a serious expression. Lin Shanchu, dont spout nonsense in front of Third Brother. He will do anything for me! Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment before she said, What a coincidence, he will do anything for me too. Huo Chaosheng cursed angrily, D*mn, I cant talk to a lunatic like you! Lin Shanchu advised him calmly, Just say what you want to say. Dont make personal attacks. Huo Chaosheng was speechless.. Chapter 352 - 352: He Likes Beautiful and Cute Female Celebrities Like Me Chapter 352: He Likes Beautiful and Cute Female Celebrities Like Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Chaosheng felt that not only was Lin Shanchu sick, but she was also delusional. However, this was a friend he had chosen. He had invested a lot of energy into Lin Shanchu as a friend, so it would be a waste to end their friendship easily. Huo Chaosheng quickly prepared himself mentally. Be good to my Third Brother. He stared at Lin Shanchu as he said seriously, If you dare to betray him, I will kill you. Lin Shanchu was already used to Huo Chaoshengs way of speaking. Why do you care so much about your Third Brother? This question had lingered in Lin Shanchus mind for a long time. Because hes very pitiful, Huo Chaosheng replied without hesitation. This answer waspletely out of Lin Shanchus expectations. However, based on her understanding of Huo Chaosheng, what Huo Chaosheng considered pitiful was probably not the same as the term pitiful that normal people thought of. Youre not apassionate person. Huo Chaosheng was satisfied with Lin Shanchus answer. He put it another way. Because Third Brother and I are the same kind of people. How is he the same as you? Lin Shanchu refuted him almost immediately. Huo Chaosheng said with an enigmatic expression, You wont understand it. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Huo Zhuxiu suddenly appeared in front of them and said, Chaosheng,e with me to meet someone. Before Huo Chaosheng left, he gave her a warning look, hinting her to remember what he had said earlier. Yun Yi was a busy person, so he was called away after chatting with Huo Xunzhou for a while. Only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were left in the resting area. What did you and Chaosheng talk about? Huo Xunzhou asked her. He said that he would kill me if I betrayed you. Huo Xunzhou looked at Lin Shanchus calm expression and let out a faint sigh. It wont happen. I know. Lin Shanchu smiled in agreement. Huo Xunzhous eyes showed a hint of confusion, and then heughed softly. He and Lin Shanchu were talking about different things. What he meant was that Lin Shanchu would never betray him. What Lin Shanchu meant was that Huo Chaosheng would not kill her for real. What about you? Lin Shanchu asked. What did you talk about with Huo Chaosheng? I told him I wanted to marry you, but he didnt believe me, Huo Xunzhou replied calmly. Speechless, she wondered if this man wanted to get married so badly. After the birthday banquet, everyone knew that Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou had a special rtionship. Although the marriage between the Huo family and the Cheng family had never been put on the agenda, everyone knew what was going on. Many people had other spections when they saw Huo Xunzhou bringing Lin Shanchu to the banquet with much fanfare. Isnt the Huo family going form an alliance with the Cheng family by marriage? Whats the point of bringing another woman to the Cheng familys birthday banquet? Isnt this attitude quite obvious? They dont want to form an alliance with Cheng family by marriage. Isnt this just nice? Isnt that person from the Cheng family looking down on you Shh, its fine as long as you know this in your heart. If you say it out loud, youll offend both families. Whats wrong if we say it out loud? Cheng Fanjing is the number one socialite in Capital City. She is ambitious and doesnt take a fancy to someone in a wheelchair. In my opinion, that guy in the wheelchair doesnt even like her Alright, alright, stop talking. The conversation gradually faded away. Lin Shanchu opened the cubicle door and walked out. At the same time, the cubicle door next to hers was opened. The so-called inevitable sh between enemies referred to the current situation. When Cheng Fanjing saw Lin Shanchu, she was slightly startled and her face darkened. Lin Shanchu naturally grimaced at Cheng Fanjing, who had targeted her before they met. After ncing at Cheng Fanjing out of the corner of her eyes, Lin Shanchu walked up to the sink. Cheng Fanjing also walked over to the sink. She stood next to Lin Shanchu and slowly washed her hands. Her voice was mixed with the sound of water, sounding a little surreal. You are very proud, arent you? Yes, I am. Lin Shanchu said seriously after turning off the water and turning to look at Cheng Fanjing. Cheng Fanjing was dumbstruck. A normal person would either get angry out of humiliation or ignore her. Lin Shanchu was shameless enough to admit that she was very proud of herself. Lin Shanchu ced both hands on the sink and deliberately leaned closer to Cheng Fanjing. The posture was so intimate that it was as if the two of them were close friends. So many people like Huo Xunzhou, but hes pursuing me. Just thinking about it makes me feel proud. Her voice rose slightly at the end of her words, making her seem excited. Cheng Fanjingughed angrily. You dont think you can get a foothold in this circle just because Huo Xunzhou is interested in you temporarily, do you? She despised people like Lin Shanchu, who hailed from a poor family background but turned out to be an ugly duckling by relying on men. Surprisingly, she wanted to get into this circle without even taking a look at her status. Was Lin Shanchu worthy? Im not interested in any circle. I dont think Brother Xunzhou is interested either. Thats why he doesnt want to have a business marriage. He likes beautiful and cute female celebrities like me. Lin Shanchus voice was gentle. As she spoke, she looked in the mirror and slowly fiddled with her hair. She looked pretentious and coquettish but inexplicably adorable with the series of actions. Adorable? Cheng Fanjing was disgusted by her own thoughts. Lin Shanchu was adorable? Cheng Fanjing looked cold as she cursed, You are sick! Lin Shanchu blinked her big eyes and tilted her head to look at Cheng Fanjing. You cant personally attack me because youre jealous, or else Ill get angry. Cheng Fanjing felt that Lin Shanchu was really sick. She did not bother to talk nonsense with the lunatic. Therefore, she picked up her bag and left quickly in her high heels. Lin Shanchu looked at Cheng Fanjings back as she left, feeling bored. The so-called socialitedy loved to maintain her dignity. It only took a few words to anger her and make her run away. She was far inferior to Tang Qidai. Cheng Fanjing looked like a noob. She could not possibly lose to Tang Qidai, could she? Creak! The sound of the cubicle door being opened came from the restroom again. Lin Shanchu frowned slightly and turned around to see Tang Qidai walking out with a faint smile on her face. You are still aswless as before. Arent you afraid of offending Cheng Fanjing? Tang Qidai crossed her arms and stopped in front of Lin Shanchu. She offended me in the first ce, Lin Shanchu corrected Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai chuckled, Lin Shanchu, I believe there are no eternal enemies in this world. What do you think? Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows and did not say anything. Cooperate with me. Tang Qidai continued, Lets deal with Cheng Fanjing together. The person who previously said that she would climb to the top and return the humiliation to her actually wanted to cooperate with her now? Lin Shanchu really admired Tang Qidais shamelessness and flexibility. When Tang Qidai saw that Lin Shanchu fell silent for a long time, she started to goad her. Cheng Fanjing targets you all the time, so how can you turn the other cheek? A cripple like Huo Xunzhou cant protect you.. You might as well make a pre-emptive strike! Chapter 353 - 353: Lipstick Stain Chapter 353: Lipstick Stain Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchus calm expression gradually turned cold after hearing Tang Qidaisst sentence. What did you just say? Staring at Tang Qidai, she looked calm in a soft voice. Tang Qidai felt a chill down her spine. However, she recalled what she had just said and did not think that there was anything wrong with her words. Lin Shanchu had always been entric, so it was normal for her to feel happy one moment and unhappy the next. Hence, Tang Qidai repeated her words seriously. A cripple like Huo Xunzhou cant protect you. You might as well Ah! Smack! Tang Qidais scream was apanied by the clear sound of a p. Lin Shanchu swiftly retracted her hand after pping Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief and shrieked, Are you crazy? Who told you to badmouth Brother Xunzhou? She was unhappy to hear Tang Qidai keep saying he was a cripple. You dare to hit me? Tang Qidai screamed. When she was in Xu City, she lost to Lin Shanchu because Lin Shanchu was more skillful than her. But now, her identity was different. She was a member of the Cheng family, but Lin Shanchu still had the nerve to hit her. Tang Qidai red at Lin Shanchu. However, she quickly suppressed the anger in her heart. Lin Shanchu,e to your senses. Huo Zhuxiu obviously likes Huo Chaosheng more, and Huo Chaosheng is very likely to be the future heir of the Huo Family. There will be no future for you if you follow Huo Xunzhou! On the surface, Tang Qidai looked like she said those words for Lin Shanchus own good, but deep down, she was scheming something. She looked morous superficially now. In fact, her life in the Cheng family was not easy. The Cheng family was a big family. Although there was internal strife in the family, those were all legitimate children, whereas she was an illegitimate daughter. She had always been ostracized by Cheng Fanjing and the others in the Cheng family. On the surface, Patriarch Cheng would grant her every request, but he also turned a blind eye to these mistreatments. After what happened with Lu Shiyuan, Tang Qidai knew that others were unreliable. Therefore, she did not n to pin all her hopes on Patriarch Cheng and had to think of another way. First, she had to get rid of Cheng Fanjing, who was her mostpetitive opponent. However, she was struggling in the Cheng family. If she relied on herself, she would not be able to achieve this goal, so she thought of using Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu had ruined Lu Shiyuans reputation and fortune, so it was natural that she had some tricks up her sleeve. If she could make use of Lin Shanchu, she would definitely be able to get rid of Cheng Fanjing as soon as possible. Its alright, Ill earn money to support him, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. You Tang Qidai grimaced angrily and said, You were screwed so miserably by Lu Shiyuan and me back then because of your unambition! Even Lin Shanchu felt that it was strange. She was not angry at all when Tang Qidai mentioned the past. She was as calm as if she was listening to someone elses story. Lu Shiyuans trial is about to start. Lin Shanchu looked at Tang Qidai eloquiently and asked, How long do you think he will be sentenced to? Tang Qidai looked at Lin Shanchu in confusion, wondering why she suddenly mentioned Lu Shiyuan. The smile on Lin Shanchus face deepened as she said, You were granted a reprieve to enjoy yourself out there, but he has to live a life in prison without seeing the light of day again. Will he resign himself to his fate? What do you mean? Tang Qidai had a sense of foreboding. Guess what Will he want to talk to you about Jing Ming and Kong Suyi? I dont understand what youre saying. Tang Qidai hurriedly turned to leave, but she stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Indeed, a guilty person would be restless. Lin Shanchu nced at Tang Qidai expressionlessly before striding away. When she returned to the banquet hall, she met Huo Xunzhous gaze from afar. Huo Xunzhous gaze calmed down when he saw her. What took you so long? Huo Xunzhous tone was filled with concern as he sized her up. Tang Qidai and Cheng Fanchu were not easy marks, and both of them had a grudge against Lin Shanchu. Furthermore, women liked to gather in the restroom to deal with problems on such an asion. If Lin Shanchu hade anyter, he would have asked someone to check on the situation in thedies restroom. I listened to some gossip and chatted with the people for a while. Lin Shanchu sat down beside him, looking extremely obedient. At this moment, Tang Qidai returned to the banquet hall. Huo Xunzhou nced over and saw the swollen profile of Tang Qidai. As if lost in thought, he turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu rested her chin on her hands, making her face look plump and adorable. She muttered, When can I go back? Im a little tired. Lets go back now. Huo Xunzhou couldnt help but poke her face. Lin Shanchu red at him. Ill go say hi to Grandpa Cheng and then well leave. Huo Xunzhouughed. When Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou left, the banquet was still lively. At the Cheng familys banquet, most people would give face and wait until it waspletely over before leaving. Only a very small number of people would leave midway. When the two of them walked out, the corridor was empty. There was not even a waiter. Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou and the two of them talked as they moved. Do you want to eat something before going home? Huo Xunzhou asked. There was a lot of food at the banquet, but Lin Shanchu did not eat much. Lets eat at home. It was gettingte and Lin Shanchu would be wasting time if she ate outside. Alright. Huo Xunzhou sounded amused. The two of them walked quietly for a while and soon reached a corner. Lin Shanchu vaguely heard a strange movement. Did you hear anything? Huo Xunzhous tone was a little strange. Yes. Lin Shanchu took a few steps forward and saw a couple hugging each other. When the couple heard someone approaching, they immediately bounced away. Lin Shanchu saw the mans face clearly and called out, Big Brother? The awkward expression lingered on Yun Yis face for two seconds before he quickly returned to his usual calm and dignified appearance. Shanshan, Xunzhou, why are you out here? Huo Xunzhou adjusted his neat tie with aplicated expression on his face. Yun Yi understood him immediately and lowered his head to adjust his tie. After adjusting his tie, Yun Yi calmly exined, Its a little hot today. Lin Shanchu nodded in agreement and then pointed at the corner of his mouth. Big Brother, youve got a lipstick stain here. Yun Yis calm expression cracked and his handsome face suddenly turned red. The so-called calm and dignified aura copsed in an instant.. Chapter 354 - 354: Chapter 354: #HuoXunzhouOpenlyAdmittedtoPursuingLinShanchu Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Yis entire body stiffened as he wiped his lips. The woman, who had turned her back to tidy herself up after the appearance of Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou, turned around. Holding a tissue, the woman raised her head to help Yun Yi wipe the lipstick stain at the corner of his lips. After ncing at Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu, Yun Yi refused, Ming Yao, dont Ming Yao? Lin Shanchu tilted her head to take a closer look and realized that it was really Ming Yao, whom she met once before. wow. She thought that Ming Yao might take a fancy to a man like Yun Yi, but she did not expect them to hook up for real. Dont move. Ming Yao pursed her lip as she red at Yun Yi. Yun Yi put down his hands and looked obedient. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at Lin Shanchu and mouthed, Lets go. Lin Shanchu shook her head, indicating that she did not want to leave. She wanted to watch them a little longer. It was too interesting to watch others fall in love. Huo Xunzhou looked helpless. After Ming Yao finished wiping off the lipstick stain on Yun Yis lips, she calmly turned around to look at Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu. Miss Ming. Huo Xunzhou nodded at her. Lin Shanchu followed suit and called her, Miss Ming. You guys are leaving? Ming Yaos gaze lingered on Lin Shanchu for a long time, as if she was curious about her. Lin Shanchu suddenly recalled the words she had heard at the jewelry brand event. Miss Ming, can I add you on WeChat? The others, including Ming Yao herself, were a little surprised. Ming Yao quickly took out her phone and said, Ill scan your QR code. Lin Shanchu happily turned on her WeChat QR code and asked, When are you free? After scanning her WeChat QR code, Ming Yao added her as friend while looking up at her. Are you going to ask me out for coffee? Miss Ming, you can drink anything as long as you are willing toe out. Lin Shanchu smiled sweetly, not hiding her intention to please Ming Yao. Ming Yao curled her lip slightly. It depends on my schedule. Alright, Lin Shanchu replied readily. Big Brother, well be leaving now, Huo Xunzhou immediately said. Goodbye, Big Brother. Lin Shanchu waved at Yun Yi before looking at Ming Yao. Goodbye, Miss Ming. Ming Yaos cold face was expressionless. Goodbye. After entering the elevator, Huo Xunzhou heard Lin Shanchu humming softly. You look happy after adding Miss Ming on WeChat, dont you? I do. Lin Shanchu btedly noticed the envy in Huo Xunzhous tone. Why are you even jealous of women? No, Huo Xunzhou denied assertively. Lin Shanchu rarely took the initiative to show goodwill to anyone, and even he rarely received such treatment. Thest person Lin Shanchu took the initiative to show goodwill to was Wen Huan. Even though Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Xunzhou was being unreasonable, she still exined to him seriously, I have something to ask of her. What is it? He wondered if there was anything that he could not do such that she had to beg another woman. Lin Shanchu replied, Men shouldnt interfere in womens affairs. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. He felt a sense of loss as if he was of no use to Lin Shanchu. The next morning, Lin Shanchu was shocked by the 99+ notifications on her phone after waking up. There were also 99+ missed calls and WeChat messages. Did something happen? Lin Shanchu calmly turned on Weibo. In the end, she could not ess the Weibo homepage. It kept showing the error message thework is busy. Thework signal was clearly full. Why was the error message disyed? Lin Shanchu logged out and opened the browser, only to find that the page loaded smoothly. When she logged out and turned on Weibo again, she realized that it was much smoother. She clicked on the trending list and saw her and Huo Xunzhous names at the top of the list. The hashtag #HuoXunzhouOpenlyAdmittedtoPursuingLinShanchu was trending. A question mark slowly appeared in Lin Shanchus mind. What was going on? Huo Xunzhou just took her to a banquetst night, and they were trending this morning? Lin Shanchu tapped on the hashtag curiously. The top Weibo post was posted by Huo Xunzhous ount: [Im pursuing Lin Shanchu. #HuoXunzhouAndLinShanchuWereIntimateAtTheBanquet] This Weibo post that seemed to be a response was posted in the wee hours of the morning. After Lin Shanchu returned to the Yun familys mansionst night, she had a simple meal and went to talk to Grandma Yun for a while. Then, she went back to her room to wash up and rest. She did not have time to surf the Inte at all. She did not even know when the hashtag #HuoXunzhouAndLinShanchuWereIntimateAtTheBanquet showed up. As she scrolled down, Lin Shanchu saw the Weibo post posted by the marketing ountst night, followed by photos of her and Huo Xunzhou sitting together at the banquet. The most intimate photo in the nine-panel grid was the one where Huo Xunzhou held her hand. Judging from the angles of the photos, they were obviously candid shots, but she could tell that the person who took the photos was skilled. The photography style was somewhat familiar. Lin Shanchu scrolled down and saw thements from theizens. [Was Best Actor Huos ount hacked by someone?] [Huo Xunzhou is pursuing Lin Shanchu. What will happen to ChuSheng pairing then? Huo Xunzhou and Alec seem to be cousins, right? Huh?] [Wealthy brothers falling out over love?] [Although Im only a fan of Sister Rabbits career, I have to say that Sister Rabbit has won this round!] [The unpopr pairing that Ive been shipping hase true?] [The whole night has passed, but theres still no exnation from Best Actor Huo. It seems that the ount wasnt hacked, but he posted it himself!] [F*ck, I manage to wait for Best Actor Huo to show up in my lifetime!] [Sister Rabbit really has a steady character of gossip queen. Once she gets on the trending list, it will definitely be big news. This time, shes really amazing for paralyzing Weibo directly.] [I was wondering why the site kept showing thework is busy when I logged in, so it turned out that it crashed because of this gossip queen] [If I had known that Best Actor Huo liked this kind of crazy person, I wouldnt have left the mental hospital in the first ce!] [Is it possible that Mr. Huo doesnt like sick people, but he likes beautiful and sick people Hahahahaha] The beautiful and sick Lin Shanchu was speechless. She was a little unconvinced. It was fine for theizens toment that she was sick. How could theyment that Huo Xunzhou liked sick people? Lin Shanchu typed a reply to theizen whomented that Huo Xunzhou liked sick people: [He doesnt.] Just as she posted thement, a call came in. The caller ID was Nan Mu. President Nan? Finally, someone picked up my call. Nan Mus tone sounded like he was about to cry. Then, he started toin endlessly to Lin Shanchu, Its the first time in my life that Ive met such a ck-hearted boss like Xunzhou. He suddenly made big news and asked me to stay out of it. He didnt even answer my call. You havent worked for anyone else in your life, have you? Lin Shanchu reminded him. Nan Mu was silent for a moment before he replied, Yes, youre right. But I was the one who signed you to Tianzhou Media in the first ce.. The artist whom I signed has been courted by him I mean, when I signed you back then, I felt that you had unlimited potential Chapter 355 - 355: Not Because He Ran Away From His Marriage Chapter 355: Not Because He Ran Away From His Marriage Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Nan Mu finally finishedining, Lin Shanchu replied emotionlessly, I just found out about what happened online. Nan Mu fell into a deathly silence. Lin Shanchu put the phone in front of her and looked at it. After confirming that the call had not been hung up, she asked Nan Mu, Are you there? Nan Mu replied, Im fine. Im going to work. Thinking about how Lin Shanchu was even worse off than him, he felt at ease. After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu sat on the bed in a daze for a while before getting up to wash up. Upon opening the door, Lin Shanchu saw the ck-hearted boss that Nan Mu mentioned. Huo Xunzhou was sitting upright in his wheelchair and looking straight at her with a smiling charming eyes. He looked focused and affectionate, exuding a strong sense of bewitchment. You Lin Shanchu was about to interrogate him, but under the bewitchment of his smiling charming eyes, she forcefully changed the topic. Why didnt you pick up Nan Mus call? Ill call himter, Huo Xunzhou replied seriously. He was really good-looking. His attitude and tone were also nice. Lin Shanchu held it in for a long time, but she could not find any fault with him. What are you doing at my doorstep so early in the morning? Im here to admit my mistake. Huo Xunzhou straightened his back and ced his hands on his knees, looking unusually docile. Lin Shanchus lips squirmed. Then, she left after dropping two words. How sinister! First, he posted a Weibo post, which was simr to a rtionship deration, on the Inte behind her back. Then, he showed up at her doorstep early in the morning and apologized to her with a good attitude. He really took advantage of everything, so she could not find any fault with him. What a sinister and scheming man! Shanshan, slow down. I cant keep up. Huo Xunzhou followed her in his wheelchair. Lin Shanchu stopped as if she had thought of something. She turned around and looked at Huo Xunzhou strangely. How long are you going to sit in this wheelchair? Soon. Huo Xunzhou stopped as well. After sizing Lin Shanchu up for a moment, he asked, Youre not angry anymore? Lin Shanchu slowed down and walked beside him. Theres one more thing. Theizens actuallymented that Huo Xunzhou liked sick people, so she still felt a little angry. As for Huo Xunzhous Weibo post, she did not think it was a big deal because he had talked to her about dering their rtionship before. However, she did not expect Huo Xunzhou to act so quickly. Huo Xunzhou asked her in a coaxing tone, Do you want to hang out with Wen Huan? She enjoyed hanging out with Wen Huan. In this way, her anger would probably subside. Wen Huan took the photos, didnt he? Lin Shanchu asked as her eyes brightened. Huo Xunzhou nodded. I knew it Lin Shanchuughed. When she saw the photos earlier, she found that the style was familiar. Wen Huan had always been the best photographer among the reporters. Huo Xunzhou added, I asked him out for lunch. Lin Shanchu blinked in confusion. Huo Xunzhou exined, To thank him for taking pictures of us. Such a professional matter should be handed over to apetent and tight-lipped person. Wen Huan was a suitable candidate. Have you paid him? Lin Shanchu snorted. Huo Xunzhou pursed his lip and said jealously, You are quite considerate of him. Lin Shanchu replied, Hes my friend. How can I let him suffer losses? Huo Xunzhou said, Im your boyfriend. Lin Shanchu said, Yeah. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. Huo Xunzhou asked Wen Huan out for lunch at Boya Hotel. Lin Shanchu looked for Wen Huan everywhere as soon as she entered the restaurant. In the end, she could not find Wen Huan even after looking around. Didnt Wen Huan say that he had arrived? Where is he? Behind you. As Huo Xunzhous voice rang out, Lin Shanchu felt someone pat her shoulder from behind. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw a man with his face covered. Its me. Wen Huan took off his sunsses and looked left and right like a thief. Lin Shanchu followed suit and looked around before she asked, Which big shot did you offend? Wen Huan said, No, its just Ive been a little afraid of light recently. As he spoke, he put his sunsses back on. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Who would believe such a ridiculous reason? She treated Wen Huan as a friend, but Wen Huan treated her as a fool? Sit down and order food first, Huo Xunzhou said. Only then did the group of people sit down and start ordering dishes. Lin Shanchu expressionlessly pushed the menu to Wen Huan. Wen Huan looked around like a thief before finally taking off his mask, sunsses and hat as if he had finally confirmed that the environment was safe. Wen Huan flipped through the menu and ordered the dishes skillfully, not showing any surprise at the price on the menu. Lin Shanchu gradually understood him. Wen Huan covered himself up so much because he was afraid that he would meet some acquaintances and be escorted back to get married. In the original book, Wen Huan was also born into a wealthy family in Capital City and left home because he ran away from his marriage. Lin Shanchu thought of Wen Huans marriage in the book and frowned slightly. In the original book, she was like a jinx and everyone who treated her well would be unfortunate. Lin Shanchu asked Wen Huan with aplicated expression, Did you speciallye back to Capital City to help us take photos? Yes and no. Wen Huan was so focused on ordering dishes that he did not notice that Lin Shanchu had said e back to Capital City. Instead, he thought that she said e to Capital City. However, Huo Xunzhou, who had been paying attention to Lin Shanchu, noticed it. Huo Xunzhou looked at Wen Huan without batting an eyelid. Are you also from Capital City? Wen Huan paused and nodded. I returned to Capital City this time to Wen Huans words were suddenly interrupted by a female voice. Wen Huan? Lin Shanchu heard a familiar voice and turned around. Miss Ming? What a coincidence. Ming Yaos gaze swept across the three of them before finallynding on Wen Huan. Wen Huan could not y dumb, so he raised his head and called out in fear, Cousin. Its really you? Ming Yao raised her eyebrows. Your sister is sicktely. What illness? Is it serious? Wen Huan asked nervously. Ming Yao replied, Youll know when you go back and take a look. Ill go back now. Wen Huan stood up and said, Ill be leaving now. Ill contact you guys for dinner another day. Wen Huan was so anxious that he did not even take his hat and sunsses. Didnt he say that he would rather live under the bridge and be a vagrant picking up trash every day than go back to that house? Why was it different from what was written in the book? Ming Yao noticed Lin Shanchus puzzled expression. Wen Huan and his sister are very close. Wen Huan ran away from home after the two of them had a big fight. Lin Shanchu asked in surprise, Not because he ran away from his marriage? Ming Yao was confused. Wen Huan hasnt been engaged before. Why would he run away from his marriage? The plot had really changed. Wen Huans story line waspletely different from the book. How exciting. Hes already an adult, and yet he ran away from home? Lin Shanchu asked, concealing the emotions in her eyes. His sister dotes on him very much, so hes more or less childish. Ming Yao nced at the other side and said, The person Im going to meet has arrived, Ill go over first. Huo Xunzhou, who opposite Lin Shanchu, suddenly asked her, Didnt Wen Huan mention his family situation to you? Chapter 356 - 356: #HuoXunzhouSndLin ShanchuKissingOnTheStreet Chapter 356: #HuoXunzhouSndLin ShanchuKissingOnTheStreet Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhous sudden question caught Lin Shanchu off guard, so she shook her head subconsciously. If Wen Huan had never told her about his family situation, but why did she say that he had e back to Capital City? The fact that she said this obviously meant that she knew something about Wen Huans situation. Huo Xunzhou had always been reserved and did not show his emotions. Lin Shanchu did not realize that he was testing her and asked seriouslv. Do vou know anything about Wen Huans family situation? Ive heard a little about it. Huo Xunzhou leaned back and said slowly, The Wen family and the Ming family are rtives. Its just that the Wen family had a serious internal conflict back then. Some died and some were injured. Later on, only the two siblings were left to rely on each other. Wen Huan and his sister? Huo Xunzhou nodded. The Wen Familys family rtionship is so simple? Lin Shanchu asked. She guessed that Wen Huans story line had changed, but she still wanted to confirm it again. Huo Xunzhou curled his lip and did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he continued to exin to her. Yeah, the Wen Family has been relying on Wen Huans sister all these years. Many people also covet the Wen Familys business and want to achieve their goals through marriage alliance. However, the Wen siblings have never agreed to marriage with any family. He had never agreed to any marriage alliance Wen Huan was really lucky. Lin Shanchu replied sullenly, Oh. Whats wrong? Huo Xunzhou noticed the disappointment in Lin Shanchus tone. Lin Shanchu was at a loss for words. In the original book, she was miserable, and so was Wen Huan. Thus, she and Wen Huan had a feeling of mutual appreciation when they met by chance. But now, not only was Wen Huan not miserable, but he also had a sister who doted on him as well as a family business. In the end, she was the only miserable person. This feeling was subtle. She was a little disappointed, but also quite jealous of Wen Huan. Thats right Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment before she continued, I think Wen Huan is really lucky. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and said, Shanshan, you will also get better in the future. The mans expression was gentle and the usual indifference was not visible in his eyes. Such a good man was her boyfriend. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou with her chin in her hands and replied, I think youre right. The waiter began to serve the dishes. It was originally a lunch for three people, but now it had be a date for the two of them. Huo Xunzhou was satisfied. Lin Shanchu was also satisfied. Both of them enjoyed the meal. When they left Boya Hotel, Huo Xunzhou noticed that there were reporters following them. Lin Shanchu asked, What are you looking at? Huo Xunzhou chuckled, There are reporters. Where are they? Lin Shanchu saw the reporters soon. She waved at the reporters. The reporter was stunned for a moment. He nced at his colleague beside him and then ran over with his camera. Lin Shanchu reminded Huo Xunzhou, Theyreing over. Yes. Huo Xunzhou smiled indulgently. Neither of them had any intention of running away. Li MO, who had driven over to pick them up, could not understand them. Arent we leaving? Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other and smiled, but they remained where they were. The reporter had run up to them, panting. He asked breathlessly, Are you two dating? Huo Xunzhou answered, Yes. His answer was simple, but it sounded serious. The reporter was dumbstruck. He admitted it so generously? Wouldnt it be too anticlimactic to report the news like this? No, he had to ask some tricky questions. The reporter who followed behind asked anxiously, Are you two dating? Lin Shanchu imitated Huo Xunzhous tone and said solemnly, We are dating. Reporter asked, He was still pursuing youst night, and you two are dating today? Lin Shanchu replied, What else? Do we have to go to the police station to file a case before we can start dating? The reporter was speechless. Why did a decent female celebrity like her turn out to be a loudmouth? The reporter turned to Huo Xunzhou and asked from the bottom of his heart, Can you tell me what attracted you to Lin Shanchu? The Huo family had a stable position in Capital City, so the reporters were polite when they asked him questions. Huo Xunzhou replied, Every part of her attracts me. The reporter was puzzled. After a short moment of skepticism, the reporter continued to ask, Can you borate? Shes very cute, Huo Xunzhou replied without hesitation. Can you be more specific? The reporter refused to give up. Huo Xunzhou was very patient when it came to praising Lin Shanchu. She has a cute personality. The reporter was bewildered. Theizens knew that Lin Shanchu was a little crazy. Huo Xunzhou thought she was cute? Was Huo Xunzhou kidnapped? However, Huo Xunzhou did not blink. Could it be that he was lovestruck? Lin Shanchu was a little unhappy as she asked, Why do you all only ask him questions but not me? When the reporters heard her words, they retreated collectively. Best Actor Huo, can you get closer to your girlfriend? We want to take a few photos, can we? Lin Shanchu was confused. What was wrong with these reporters? They would rather take photos than ask her questions? Huo Xunzhou turned his head and saw Lin Shanchus indignant face. Then, he smiled and held her hand. When Lin Shanchu turned to look at him, her expression softened a little. Huo Xunzhou suddenly exerted force on his grip, causing Lin Shanchus hand to lose bnce and fall toward him. She quickly reached out to hold the back of the wheelchair. Just as she steadied herself. Hilo Xnn7.h011 reached Oilt and grabbed the back of her neck to kiss her- Lin Shanchus eyes widened slightly, unable to react for a moment. All the reporters at the side were excitedly taking pictures. There was no need to worry about this quarters performance index! The following hashtags were trending: #HuoXunzhouSndLin ShanchuKissingOnTheStreet #WhyDoYouAllOnlyAskHimQuestionsButNotMe #SheIsCute #EveryPartofHerAttractsMe #He1sNot Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus interview went viral as soon as it was released. The two of them practically dominated the entertainment rankings. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhous fans were the first toment under the trending topics. Lin Shanchus fansmented: [Huh?

Im done for! Its best to ship real couples!] [Guys, I have a question, but Im too embarrassed to ask it.] [I know what youre going to ask. I am wondering the same thing. Hahahaha.] [A persons life is very short. You might as well muster your courage and say whatever you want to say. For example, I want to ask right now, who will be on top when they have an in-depth exchange?] [I bet 10 cents that Sister Rabbit will be on top. After all, Best Actor Huo cant move his legs conveniently.] [F*ck, you guys just strayed from the topic and made dirty jokes. Hahahaha.] Chapter 357 - 357: I Don’t Have the Right to Live a Peaceful Life Chapter 357 - 357: I Dont Have the Right to Live a Peaceful Life Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The direction of thements section gradually changed. [Is there really no way to treat Best Actor Huos legs?] [If his legs cant be cured, will Sister Rabbit be on top of him for the rest of his life?] [It seems like this is the only way. Its not easy to do it in other positions.] [In that case, Sister Rabbit needs to train for physical fitness?]
[I dont know who I should be envious of.] [I rewatched the video of Best Actor Huo sitting in a wheelchair and pulling Sister Rabbit over for a kiss. They were so affectionate. I felt embarrassed after watching it] [Me too!] [The atmosphere between the two of them was simply amazing!] Thements section was not full of blessings for the couple. [One is disabled, whereas the other is married. I dont know whats good about shipping them.] [If it wasnt for the disability in his legs, would Huo Xunzhou have taken a fancy to Lin Shanchu?] [Lin Shanchu must have put in a lot of effort to get together with Huo Xunzhou.] [Lin Shanchu isnt short of money. What does she see in Huo Xunzhou?] [One is physically sick, whereas the other is mentally sick. Ill do a live stream to eat a keyboard if they manage tost long.] Huo Xunzhous anti-fans thought that he was unworthy for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchus anti-fans thought that she was unworthy of Huo Xunzhou. The keyboard warriors simply criticized the two of them. After the fans of both sides confronted each other under the trending topics, there was no more movement. Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu made an official announcement on Weibo. HuoXunzhouV: [Ill introduce everyone to the girlfriend I finally got. @ActressLinShanchuV [heart]] ActressLinShanchuV: [Brother Xunzhou. @HuoXunzhouV [shy]] Only then did the fans on both sides ept reality. Lin Shanchus fansmented under Huo Xunzhous Weibo post: [Hello, Brother-inw.] Huo Xunzhous fans alsomented on Lin Shanchus Weibo post: [Hello, Sister-inw.] The non-fanizensughed and joined in the fun. [You guys will be a family in the future. Why are you guys still standing on ceremony?] [The fans of both sides are so polite, hahaha.] After that, people in the entertainment industry who were familiar with both sides also showed up to give their blessings. Glimmer Girls-YunWuV: [The one I shipped has be my third sister-inw. Were a family from now on. [Yay]] Theizensmented: [Do you feel that the blessing is a little forced?] [Isnt that forced? LinYun pairing came to a bad end just like that. Hahaha.] [Dont pity her. Yun Yi is her brother, Huo Xunzhou is her cousin and Sister Rabbit is her sister-inw. She doesnt deserve anyones sympathy!] Yun Wus blessing was indeed a little forced. The sinister and cunning Huo Xunzhou had used some unknown method to deceive Lin Shanchu and make an official announcement of their rtionship. He really got off easy. After Lin Shanchu cooperated with Huo Xunzhou to post the official announcement on Weibo, she went to chat with Grandma Yun. Naturally, she could not use her phone while chatting with the olddy, so she left her phone in the room without bringing it with her. in the backyard, looking focused. She did not even notice Lin Shanchu walking over. Lin Shanchu quietly squatted at the side and watched Grandma Yun, not making a sound to disturb her. She realized that Grandma Yun also had charming eyes. Huo Xunzhous charming eyes were passed down from his ancestors. Shanshan? Grandma Yun finally noticed Lin Shanchu and said, Im old and my ears arent good. Why didnt you say a word when you came? I just arrived, Lin Shanchu replied with a smile. Grandma Yun alsoughed. She stared at Lin Shanchu for a moment before she asked, Are you still used to living in the Yun familys mansion? Its pretty good. The food is delicious. Lin Shanchu nodded obediently. Seeing this, Grandma Yuns expression became even gentler. Xunzhous personality takes after his mother. Hes cold on the outside but warm on the inside with deep thoughts. Sometimes, even his grandfather and I dont know what hes thinking. Sometimes, I also dont know what hes thinking. Lin Shanchu agreed. Grandma Yunughed. But he really likes you. Lin Shanchu nodded vigorously. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou was quite fond of her. He had spent all his money to acquire the shares of Lu Corporation and gave them to her. Moreover, he always looked like he was afraid that she would run away and wanted to marry her. Thank you for being so nice to Xunzhou. Grandma Yuns voice was a little choked. Lin Shanchu said, Huo Xunzhou treats me very well too. Grandma Yuns eyes were red-rimmed and tears rolled down her face, looking sorrowful. Lin Shanchu did not say anything tofort her. Instead, she took out a tissue and handed it to her. Grandma Yun wiped her tears and said apologetically, Im sorry. Whenever I think of Xunzhous mother, I cant help but Lin Shanchu listened quietly, as if she gave Grandma Yun the desire to talk. Xunzhous grandfather was ambitious when he was young. For the sake of the so-called strong alliance, he wanted to form an alliance with the Huo family by marriage. Actually, I didnt agree with what he did. We had a big fight at that time, but I didnt insist on my own opinion and agreed to the marriage between Xunzhous mother and Huo Zhuxiu. She evenforted me when she got married. She said that theres nothing wrong with a business marriage. Everyone was like that Lin Shanchu silently handed her a tissue and asked, What happened after that? After two years of marriage, they had Xunzhou. However, happiness didntst long. When Xunzhou was two years old, his mother had an ident when she took him out to y She died on the spot. The scene was too chaotic at that time, and someone took advantage of the chaos and abducted Xunzhou Weve been looking for him for so many years, but we couldnt find him until two years ago. Xunzhou came back on his own. Lin Shanchu thought about it seriously for a moment and asked, So you havent been staying at this house because youve been ming Grandpa for this incident? Rather than ming him, its more like ming myself. Grandma Yun sighed self-deprecatingly. Im not a good mother, nor am I a good grandmother. I dont have the right to live a peaceful life As long as you live, your life will go on. Upon hearing those words, Grandma Yun turned to look at Lin Shanchu in surprise. Lin Shanchu looked at her and continued speaking. Youre punishing yourself like this just to make yourself feel better. Its totally useless. Instead, youll make Huo Xunzhou and Big Brother worried. Rather than wasting time on this meaningless self-punishment, its better for you to face reality and live a down-to-earth life. Lin Shanchus tone was gentle, but the words she said were harsh. With Grandma Yuns background and status, no one dared to say such rude words to her. She was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Yun Hongru walked over with a grimace and said, Shanshan, Xunzhou is looking for you. Other than quarreling with the olddy about the marriage with the Huo family, he had never spoken harshly to her in his life. Thisdy was really something. She spoke so rudely the moment she opened her mouth! Lin Shanchu slowly stood up. Oh. She did not know how tofort the olddy, so she only said a few words of truth. The olddy obviously did not appreciate the old mans kindness.. Why are you being so fierce to thisdy? Chapter 358 - 358: Care About My Shanshan Chapter 358 - 358: Care About My Shanshan Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The old man said innocently, I was fierce to her because she said those outrageous things to you! The olddy snorted coldly as she asked, Is she wrong? Lets not care if what she said is right or wrong. After a pause, the old man continued, First of all, her tone was wrong. No matter what, youre her elder Lin Shanchu originally nned to look for Huo Xunzhou. However, seeing that the olddy and the old man were about to quarrel again, she decided to stay and mediate between the two of them. Just then, she saw Huo Xunzhou not far away.
Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. He just waved at her and gestured for her toe over. Lin Shanchu hesitated for a moment. After confirming that the two elders were only quarreling and not fighting, she walked towards Huo Xunzhou with a peace of mind. Lin Shanchu walked over andined to Huo Xunzhou, Grandpa was fierce to me. She frowned slightly as she spoke, looking aggrieved. I saw it, Huo Xunzhou said gently and reached out to her. Lin Shanchu handed her hand to him and squatted down in front of him. Then, she rested her head on hisp with her beautiful eyebrows drooping. She looked as pitiful as she could be. Those who did not know better would probably think that she had been bullied harshly. In reality, it was just a harsh remark. Huo Xunzhou patted her head and said in a pampering tone, Lets ignore him for the next few days. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and replied, I dont think thats a good idea. Hes your grandfather after all. Shanshan, you became a viin on my behalf, so I naturally have to stand on your side. Huo Xunzhou curled his lip and said, Besides, if he cares about the olddy, cant I care about my Shanshan? Huo Xunzhous mothers death and his disappearance had been the pain and taboo in the Yun family for many years. The younger generation of the Yun family felt sorry for their elders. Before Huo Xunzhou returned, no one dared to mention him in front of the old couple. They were also reluctant to say anything harsh to the old couple on this matter. As time passed, it became a chronic illness. It would be difficult to cure it without using potent medicine. However, no one in the Yun family was willing to be such a viin to touch a sore spot. In that case, he could only let Lin Shanchu, who was rtively close to the Yun family, be the viin. Its just a minor matter Lin Shanchu was a little shy as she covered her face with her hands. At this moment, cries came from the other side. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhous grandparents hugging each other and crying. She was busy acting pitiful earlier to make Huo Xunzhou distressed, such that she did not pay attention to what the two elders were saying. Looking serious, Lin Shanchu asked Huo Xunzhou, Do you want to go over andfort them? Huo Xunzhou shook his head. Lets go. As Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou away, she turned back to look at Yun Hongru and his wife. No one could guarantee that every decision they made in their life was correct. Every decision was risky. Regardless of the oue, as long as she wanted to solve the problem, she had to bear the responsibility. Of course, those who did not want to solve the problem could also choose to avoid it and choose not to face the problem for the rest of their lives. After all, many things in life were unsolvable. There was no answer and no solution. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhous official rtionship had been trending on various social media tforms for several days. For the next few days, no matter which tform theizens essed, they would see discussions about Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhous official rtionship. Sponsors for various brands and variety shows approached Lin Shanchu one after another. Nan Mu received calls asking about Lin Shanchus schedule almost every day. He gave the same reply to every phone call asking about Lin Shanchus schedule. Shanshans manager is in charge of her matters. Ill find out the situation before giving you a reply. The pressure was on Qi Cheng. Qi Chengs phone got spammed with calls. The spam calls were continuous, causing his phone to hang up directly. He could only use He Xiangs phone to call Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, the production crew gave us a reply after you went for the auditionst time. They asked when you could join the crew and invited you for an interview. Lets talk when we meet. Therefore, Qi Cheng and He Xiang came to the Yun familys mansion again. After the old man and the olddy cry on each others shoulder on that day, they reconciled. The servants at home noticed that the old man had been in a good mood recently and was happy all day. When Yun Hongru saw Qi Cheng and He Xiang, he knew that they were here for Lin Shanchu, so he personally led them to her. When they entered the mansion, Lin Shanchu opened the door and came out. Shanshan. Yun Hongru leaned on his walking stick and said fawningly, Ive brought your manager and assistant. Thank you. Lin Shanchu called the two of them into the room. When she saw that Yun Hongru was still standing there, she asked, Is there anything else? Hesitation shed across Yun Hongrus face. You guys go get busy. The group entered the room. Yun Hongru stood at the door for a moment before leaving. Nan Mu knew that Qi Cheng and He Xiang came to meet Lin Shanchu, so he made time to have a video conference with them. Theres a love observation program thats especially generous Nan Mu kept persuading Lin Shanchu to participate in the variety show. Qi Cheng knew that Lin Shanchu was not interested in variety shows, so he listened quietly. After Nan Mu finished speaking, he saw Lin Shanchus disinterested expression and became a little anxious. This variety show is quite interesting. Oh. Lin Shanchu asked perfunctorily, Did the other party offer a few million yuan? Its just Nan Mu felt that he had been seen through by Lin Shanchu, so he kept quiet guiltily. He also knew that Lin Shanchu was not interested in variety shows. However, the other party had given him too much money. Nan Mu sighed. I heard youre invited for a face-to-face meeting after the auditionst time. You should join the crew as soon as possible after the interview. Seeing Lin Shanchu was carefree, his heart ached. He did not have any requests now. He would be contented as long as Lin Shanchu returned to work as soon as possible! After they finished chatting about work, Lin Shanchu met Yun Hongru in the hall while seeing Qi Cheng and He Xiang off. Lets have dinner before you leave. Yun Hongru enthusiastically asked them to stay for dinner. Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and said, Lets have dinner before you leave. Qi Cheng and He Xiang stayed for dinner. Huo Xunzhou and Yun Yi also rushed back at dinnertime. At the dining table, Lin Shanchu raised her voice and said, I have something to tell everyone. Everyone turned to look at her. My work has been arranged. Ill be leaving tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. At first, Lin Shanchu agreed to stay with the Yun family for a few days because Huo Xunzhou asked her for help. If the two elders had reconciled, she would have nothing to do after that. In that case, she had to get busy with her work. Why are you going to leave in such a hurry? Yun Hongru put down the chopsticks and asked Lin Shanchu carefully, Shanshan, about that day After that day, Yun Hongru actually wanted to apologize to Lin Shanchu, but he could not bring himself to do so. He thought that Lin Shanchu suddenly wanted to leave because she was still angry about what happened that day. Judging from his expression, Lin Shanchu knew what he was going to say and interrupted him, No.. Chapter 359 - 359: Grandly Chapter 359: Grandly Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu then exined to Yun Hongru, Ive been cking off recently and dyed a lot of work. I have to join the crew as soon as possible. Yeah, you people are quite busy in your line of work. I havent seen Yun Wu in a long time. Yun Hongru nodded understandingly. The old man seemed to have thought of something and said, Our family has another house in the city. If you need it in the future, you can stay there at any time. Although the Yun familys old mansion was in a bustling area,Capital City was too big. Yun Yi did not stay at home often for the convenience of work, so he only came back asionally or on weekends. As for the nature of Lin Shanchus work, it was needless to say. Dont worry about that, Grandfather, Huo Xunzhou suddenly said. Ive already made the arrangements. The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Fine. Everyone, lets eat, said Grandma Yun with a smile. As soon as she spoke, everyone started eating and changed the topic. When no one was paying attention, the olddy whispered to the old man, You dont have to worry about Shanshan and Xunzhou. Patriarch Yun was brooding over Huo Xunzhous mothers marriage. He was worried that the olddy would think that he wanted to interfere in Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus affair. Im not trying to interfere in their affair he exined anxiously. Thats good. The olddy picked up another piece of food for him. The old man pointed at Huo Xunzhou with his chin and said, Look at how worthless your grandson is. Huo Xunzhou was putting food into Lin Shanchus te and asked her how it tasted. Lin Shanchu nodded and politely said it was delicious with a smile. Seeing this, the olddyughed. Then, she turned her head and pretended to be serious as she red at the old man. Eat your food. Dont worry about the young people. The old man quickly retracted his gaze and ate his meal obediently. The next morning, Lin Shanchu packed her things and left the Yun familys mansion. The old man was busy as a bee after he got up early in the morning. He took out a few packets of tea leaves and several bottles of wine that he had saved and insisted that Lin Shanchu had to take them with her. Grandpa, I appreciate your kindness, but Im not going to take anything. After Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou dered their rtionship, she started calling him Grandpa. The old man refused to listen to Lin Shanchu and insisted the servant on stuffing them into her luggage. Just take them. When youre tired, you can drink tea. When youre free, you can drink wine. Lin Shanchu frowned slightly, crossed her arms and looked at the old man for a moment. Suddenly, she understood something. Grandpa, its not like Ill stoping here. Ille over with Huo Xunzhou again after Im done with work. The old man was probably still bickering over what happened that day, fearing that Lin Shanchu would be angry and stoping to the Yun familys mansion again. As expected, the old mans eyes lit up when he heard Lin Shanchus words. Really? Its a deal! Yun Hongru tried to confirm with her again, looking as if he was afraid that she would go back on her word. Yes. Lin Shanchu raised her hand and said, I swear. The old man immediately beamed with joy. Okay, okay, okay. Just leave those things behind. Lets drink together when youe over next time. Huo Xunzhous mothers incident had brought serious trauma to the Yun family. It had been more than twenty years since the incident, but the wound did not gradually improve with the passage of time. Instead, it festered day by day. And, the number of wounds increased day by day. When Huo Xunzhou returned to the family, they transferred the debt they owed their daughter to Huo Xunzhou. They became cautious about everything rted to Huo Xunzhou including her, who had nothing to do with the Yun family. Because of Huo Xunzhou, everyone in the Yun family treated her with kindness. This world was indeed not decent, where fairness and true feelings did not exist everywhere. However, they really existed in this world. Lin Shanchu now felt that this was a world worth living in. Alright. Lin Shanchu agreed seriously. Lin Shanchu had to go to the film set for the interview today. After leaving the Yun family, she went straight to the film set. Huo Xunzhou had made arrangements in advance and sent her luggage to the house he had arranged for her. The interview went smoothly. With her background as an actress, Lin Shanchu achieved great results in Top Feast and had a fanbase. Hence, the director was satisfied with her and insisted on signing the contract with her on the same day. After signing the contract, she received the script. This costume drama about food was adapted from a well-known novel. Although Lin Shanchu had never read it before, she had heard of it and had a general understanding of the story. The read-through was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Lin Shanchu returned home. After reading the script, she went to read the original novel overnight. It was already the next morning when she finished reading the novel. She could not take it anymore and fell asleep with her phone in her arms. He Xiang came to call her for breakfast. She closed her eyes and replied, I dont want to eat. He Xiang quietly pushed the door open and saw Lin Shanchu sleeping with her phone and the script scattered on the bed. She guessed that Lin Shanchu had probably been reading the script the whole night. She did not wake Lin Shanchu up and left quietly. However, Lin Shanchu woke up not long after He Xiang left. She was woken up by the vibration of her phone. The phone fell on her chest with obvious vibration, causing her to wake up immediately. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while. Then, she finally snapped out of a daze and turned on the phone. Ming Yao: [When are you going to ask me out for coffee?] Lin Shanchu tapped on the profile picture disyed on the notification. After confirming that it was Ming Yao, she sat up in bed. Lin Shanchu: [Lets do it now. Miss Ming, are you free now?] If she wanted to ask for someones help, she should be proactive and act like one. Ming Yao: [Yes.] Lin Shanchu: [Miss Ming, do you have a cafe or restaurant that you want to go to?] Ming Yao: [No.] Lin Shanchu: [See you at Boya Hotel.] Ming Yao replied with an OK emoji. Lin Shanchu tossed her phone aside and got out of bed. She washed up as quickly as she could, took out her clothes from the closet and gestured in front of the mirror for a while. In the end, she opened the door, stuck her head out and shouted, He Xiang,e over quickly! Sister Lin, youre awake? He Xiang heard the voice and ran over. When she entered the room, she saw Lin Shanchus bed was full of clothes. Lin Shanchu was holding a dress in front of the mirror. He Xiang, what do you think of this dress? As she gestured, she turned around to ask for Hexiangs opinion. He Xiang nodded. Its okay. Lin Shanchu picked up another dress and asked, What about this one? He Xiang continued to nod and said, Its okay too. Just like that, Lin Shanchu repeated the same actions and questions, practically showing off all the clothes. Sister Lin, are you going on a date with Teacher Huo? He Xiang rarely saw Lin Shanchu dress up so grandly. Other than a date, she could not think of any other reason. No. Lin Shanchu turned to look at the clothes on the bed. The more she looked, the more dissatisfied she became. She opened the wardrobe again. There were still many clothes sent by brand owners in the wardrobe.. Chapter 360 - 360: Huo Xunzhou Has A Unique Taste Chapter 360: Huo Xunzhou Has A Unique Taste Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion He Xiang came over to help Lin Shanchu choose clothes and asked curiously, Who are you going out to meet? Ming Yao. Huh? When Lin Shanchu met Ming Yao previously, He Xiang was not there, so she did not know who Ming Yao was. The editor-in-chief of MMLY Magazine. So its her. I was wondering why this name sounded so familiar You are going to meet a woman? He Xiang finally realized that Lin Shanchu was going to meet a woman in such a grand manner. Shes so beautiful, so I have to dress up beautifully too. Lin Shanchu started to take out the clothes from the wardrobe again. He Xiang said, Youre beautiful even without dressing up He Xiang, as a responsible and caring assistant, had long infiltrated Lin Shanchus fan club. At least half of Lin Shanchus fans supported her because of her good look. Lin Shanchu finally chose a piece of clothing that she was satisfied with. She picked up her clothes, turned around and patted He Xiangs head. What do you call this behavior on the Inte? He Xiang was puzzled. Oh, I remember now. Its called tter someone blindly. He Xiang was speechless. Lin Shanchu went to change her clothes while He Xiang defended herself at the door, I didnt tter you blindly, Sister Lin. You are beautiful to begin with. After Lin Shanchu changed her clothes, she put on exquisite makeup and wore essories particrly. Right after she finished packing her stuff, Qi Cheng, who had gone out to handle some matters, returned. Are you going to participate in some event? Qi Cheng thought for a long time but could not think of any activities that Lin Shanchu had to attend today. He Xiang held back herughter and said, Sister Lin is going to meet the editor-in-chief of MMLY. Meet the editor-in-chief? Oh, but this is too Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu, who was dressed up meticulously, with a look of disbelief. Lin Shanchu usually only applied a simple foundation, drew her eyebrows, and put on lipstick when she went out for work. This kind of makeup would only appear on her face when she was going to attend dinner parties or events. Im going to meet Miss Ming at Boya Hotel. Ill be back after the meeting. Lin Shanchu took the initiative to report her schedule to Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng was not used to Lin Shanchu being so sensible. Was she trying to go out and cause trouble again? Qi Cheng pondered for a long time before picking up the car keys that he had just put down. Ill drive you there. Lin Shanchu shrugged her shoulders with an indifferent expression. Thank you, Brother Qi. When Qi Cheng drove Lin Shanchu to Boya Hotel, Ming Yao happened toe over. Ming Yaos dressing was not as simple as Lin Shanchus. After Lin Shanchu and Ming Yao entered the restaurant, Qi Cheng and He Xiang looked at each other in tacit understanding. Why are the two women dressed like theyre attending a banquet? He Xiang thought for a moment and replied, Perhaps this a womans desire to win? Qi Cheng was puzzled. He did not understand it. The moment Lin Shanchu and Ming Yao entered the restaurant, they attracted a lot of attention. The eldest daughter of the Ming family and Huo Xunzhous girlfriend. The two women had unusual identities and outstanding looks and auras. It was difficult for them not to attract the peoples attention. Ming Yao did not seem to notice the people sizing her up. She sat down gracefully and ordered food calmly. After handing the menu to Lin Shanchu, Ming Yao said slowly, 1 waited for a long time but you didnt ask me out, so I had to take the initiative to ask you out. Lin Shanchu ordered a cup of coffee and put down the menu. She said understandingly, There are only a few days left until the deadline for the next issue of MMLY. Miss Ming, I guessed you must be very busy, so I didnt disturb you. Ming Yao leaned back and adjusted herself into a rxed position. I see. Miss Ming, since youre here for coffee today, you must have already decided on the issue, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. Ming Yao smiled eloquently. Do you think your guess is urate? I hope my guess is inurate. Lin Shanchu straightened her back and sat upright, looking obedient. However, the faint smile in her eyes did not match her obedience at all. Ming Yao did not say anything. She just tilted her head slightly and looked at Lin Shanchu as if she was examining her. Lin Shanchu leaned forward slightly and said, Its because I want to be on the cover of the next issue of MMLY. Ming Yaos expression remained unchanged as she asked, On what grounds? I have good looks, figure and poprity, Lin Shanchu said arrogantly. Ming Yao had a high status in the fashion industry. Many A-listers had to lower their stance in front of her. Lin Shanchu was not modest at all. Ming Yao slowly sat up straight and said casually, But I dont care about these. Lin Shanchus face revealed a disappointed expression as she said, Then theres no other way. Ming Yao could not understand Lin Shanchu. She had just arrogantly imed that she had good looks and a hot figure, but she did not even defend herself after being rejected. The waiter came over to serve coffee. The conversation between the two of them was temporarily interrupted. After the waiter left, Ming Yao stirred her coffee and said, Give up. Lin Shanchu shook her head. Miss Ming, since you dont like my strength, then I can only rely on nepotism. What? Ming Yao put down the coffee spoon and took a sip of coffee. Lin Shanchu frowned slightly and widened her pure eyes as she said pitifully, Sister-inw, please help me. Her words were so shocking that Ming Yao lost herposure on the spot. Cough! Cough, cough! Lin Shanchu thoughtfully handed her a tissue. After Ming Yao recovered, she asked Lin Shanchu in shock, What did you just call me? Sister-inw! Lin Shanchu called out obediently. You Ming Yao was taken aback and said, Dont simply scream. When you and Big Brother were kissing in the corridor that day, your lipstick was gone Lin Shanchu looked at Ming Yao innocently. Ming Yao was speechless. Why was a good female celebrity acting like a scoundrel? Lin Shanchu shook her head and smiled innocently. No, I just want to snatch the cover of Cheng Fanjing. How could she act so righteously while she tried to snatch someone elses things? Lin Shanchu, how can you be such a person? Ming Yaoughed in anger. Ive always been this kind of person. Lin Shanchu cupped her face with both hands. Her smiling face was exceptionally obedient, easily making people let down their guard. Ming Yao curled her lip ambiguously and said, Huo Xunzhou has a unique taste. Lin Shanchu replied, Thank you for thepliment. Ming Yao was speechless. Did shepliment Lin Shanchu? Lin Shanchu pointed at her bag and urged her, Sister-inw, hurry up and take out the contract. The smile on Ming Yaos face instantly disappeared. How did you know I brought the contract? If you didnt want me to shoot the cover of the next issue of MMLY, you wouldnt have agreed to add me on WeChat before. Lin Shanchu was satisfied to see the surprised expression on Ming Yaos face. Lin Shanchu continued, But you insisted on teasing me just now. Youre my sister-inw after all, so I could only y along with you. Her tone was so helpless that it sounded like Ming Yao was being unreasonable. Ming Yao was speechless.. Chapter 361 - 361: Didn ‘t You Hear My Girlfriend Calling You? Chapter 361: Didn t You Hear My Girlfriend Calling You? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ming Yao took out the contract from her bag and handed it to Lin Shanchu. When Lin Shanchu was looking at the contract, Mingyao crossed her arms and sized her up with a serious expression. She seemed a little vignt and not as rxed as before. As for the cover girl of the next issue of MMLY, the initial candidate was indeed Cheng Fanjing. The Ming family and the Cheng family did not have many business dealings with each other and their friendship was average. To show her sincerity, Ming Yao personally asked Cheng Fanjing out for coffee to discuss the cover. Cheng Fanjing neither agreed nor refused her immediately at that time. It was obvious that she wanted to leave Mingyao hanging. Ming Yao was about the same age as Yun Yi. She was six or seven years older than Cheng Fanjing, so they did not hang out often and had little interaction. She gave Cheng Fanjing face, but Cheng Fanjing wanted to take advantage of her and put on airs. After that, the news that Ming Yao had personally invited Cheng Fanjing to shoot the cover of MMLY quickly spread in the circle. Everyone said that Cheng Fanjing acted like she was some kind of big shot. Ming Yao allowed the matter to spread. She did not defend herself, nor did she contact Cheng Fanjing. Instead, she began to look for new candidates. Coincidentally, Lin Shanchu came to Capital City at that time. When she first saw Lin Shan at the jewelry brand event, she had this idea. On that day, she went back and checked Lin Shanchus information. She found Lin Shanchu to be very interesting. She has experienced many ups and downs. Although she looked cute and beautiful, she had some tricks up her sleeve. She even had a scandal with Huo Chaosheng, whom Cheng Fanjing had taken a fancy to. Now that she had interacted with Lin Shanchu, it was indeed as she had thought. Thisdy was really not simple. She wanted to test Lin Shanchu, but she did not expect Lin Shanchu to trick her. Lin Shanchu quickly flipped through the contract in her hand and quickly reached thest page. She then picked up a pen and started to sign the contract. Arent you going to read it carefully? Ming Yao asked as a hint of surprise shed across her eyes. Lin Shanchu was busy signing the papers and did not even look up. Were family. I believe you. Ming Yao was speechless. She felt that Lin Shanchu was really shameless. Ming Yao said coldly, You should im less connections with your rtives and dont mix work with personal matters. Oh, Lin Shanchu replied calmly. Then, she signed the contract and pushed it in front of Mingyao. Ming Yao was a strict person and couldnt help but advise Lin Shanchu, Do you want to confirm the content again? No need. Lin Shanchu shook her head and said with a smile, Huo Xunzhou will help me if you scam me. Didnt you say that were family just now? Ming Yao sneered. You were the one who said I shouldnt im connections with my rtives, Lin Shanchu said innocently. Ming Yao was speechless. If possible, she would never want to work with Lin Shanchu again. Ming Yao took a deep breath and drank the coffee in one gulp. When she put down the coffee cup, she saw Lin Shanchu staring at her with wide eyes. Is there anything else? Ming Yaos gaze became vignt. You and Big Brother As soon as Lin Shanchu opened her mouth, Ming Yao interrupted her, I have nothing to do with him. Lin Shanchu was bewildered. They had already kissed, but she said that he had nothing to do with her? Youre such a scumbag. Lin Shanchu was shocked. Ming Yao replied, Its none of your business! Were all female celebrities nowadays so talkative? Lin Shanchu still had that innocent look on her face as she said, I was just asking Looking behind Lin Shanchu, Ming Yao said expressionlessly, Your boyfriend is here. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou. She immediatelv got uD and asked Huo Xunzhou with a smile. Whv are vou here? I have an appointment with someone. Huo Xunzhou nced at Mingyao as he spoke. Ming Yao nodded slightly at him as a greeting. Lin Shanchu noticed his gaze and exined, I made an appointment with Miss Ming to discuss the contract. Yeah. The discussion is already over. We had a happy conversation. Lin Shanchu spoke as she looked at Ming Yao. Ming Yao looked away. Huo Xunzhou pursed his lip slightly and tried not tough. It did not look like a happy conversation at all. Sorry for the trouble, Miss Ming. Huo Xunzhou nodded at Ming Yao. Ming Yao smiled expressionlessly and said, Its fine. As long as Lin Shanchu spoke less, she would not feel troubled at all. Xunzhou. A familiar voice sounded. Everyone turned around and saw Huo Zhuxiu with a solemn expression. After he appeared, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed. Mingyao stood up and greeted Huo Zhuxiu respectfully. Uncle Huo. Huo Zhuxiu nodded and nced at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu met his gaze without avoiding it. Both of them could see the coldness in each others eyes. In the end, Lin Shanchu called out to him first. Uncle Huo. Huo Zhuxiu turned around and was about to leave as if he did not hear her. Huo Zhuxiu had sent people to kill her, so it was normal for him to ignore her. She only greeted him because of Huo Xunzhou. Ming Yao saw everything from the sidelines and did not make a sound, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible. Lin Shanchu did not take him seriously. Huo Xunzhou suddenly asked, Didnt you hear my girlfriend calling you? Huo Zhuxiu stopped in his tracks and frowned as he turned to look at Huo Xunzhou with a hint of warning in his malicious eyes. Huo Xunzhou acted as if he did not notice Huo Zhuxius warning and turned around tofort Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, my father is a narrow-minded person. Theres no need to greet him again in the future. People who dont know how to respect others dont deserve to be respected. His tone was gentle, but his voice was neither loud nor soft. The people around the tables could hear him, but they dared not breathe loudly and tried their best to reduce their presence. Huo Xunzhous words were practically a p in the face for Huo Zhuxiu. No one dared to watch the Huo familysmotion. Huo Zhuxius face darkened as he shouted, Huo Xunzhou! Huo Xunzhous expression remained calm. Before he left, he said gently to Lin Shanchu, Ille and find you after Im done. Lin Shanchu frowned slightly and did not say anything. Ming Yao asked the waiter to bring the menu over. When the menu was ced in front of Lin Shanchu, she still frowned and did not react. Ming Yao said, Order a few dishes and eat while waiting for Huo Xunzhou toe over. Lin Shanchu pushed the menu to Mingyao. You should ce the order. Ming Yao did not bother to be modest with her. She took the menu and ordered a few dishes in one go. She looked at Lin Shanchu again, not understanding her expression. She did not look like she was sad after being ignored by her boyfriends parent, nor did she look like she was happy after her boyfriend stood on her side to help her vent her anger. Ming Yao simply asked, What are you thinking about? Lin Shanchu replied worriedly, Will Huo Zhuxiu hit someone? Ming Yao fell silent for a moment before she said, Theyre biological father and son. You dont have to worry about it. Lin Shanchu nodded. Ming Yao thought her words would get through to her. However, Lin Shanchu slowly stood up the next second and said, In other words, we cant rule out the possibility that Huo Zhuxiu willy a hand on Huo Xunzhou.. Chapter 362 - 362: The Huo Family Will Become the Laughing Stock In Capital City Chapter 362: The Huo Family Will Be the Laughing Stock In Capital City Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ming Yaos expression changed when she noticed it. What are you going to Ill go take a look. Lin Shanchu turned around and left without taking her phone. Ming Yao was stunned. Was Lin Shanchu stupid or crazy? That man was Huo Zhuxiu! Even if Huo Zhuxiu really wanted to hit Huo Xunzhou to teach him a lesson, no one would dare to do anything. Putting aside the fact that they were father and son, no one would dare to offend Huo Zhuxiu due to the Huo Familys status in Capital City. However, Lin Shanchu said that she was going to take a look. Was it possible that she was really just going to take a look? Lin Shanchu probably would not dare to talk to Huo Zhuxiu in the same manner like how she did just now, would she? Ming Yao looked at the contract that Lin Shanchu had just signed. After thinking about it, she still felt that she had to do something. If something really happened to Lin Shanchu, whom would she get to shoot the cover for the next issue of MMLY? Should she go back to find Cheng Fanjing? Absolutely not. She could not take the humiliation lying down. Ming Yao took out her phone and called Yun Yi. The phone rang twice before it was picked up. A steady and powerful male voice came from the phone. Whats the matter? Ming Yao paused for a moment before telling Yun Yi everything that had just happened here. After she finished speaking, she asked worriedly, Yun Yi pondered for a moment and felt that it was uncertain before he said, Ille over. Lin Shanchu jogged over and asked the waiter where Huo Xunzhou and Huo Zhuxiu were. After finding the private room, Lin Shanchu kicked the door open. As soon as the door opened, Lin Shanchu immediately felt the tense atmosphere in the room. Huo Xunzhou and Huo Zhuxiu sat facing each other, not giving in to each other. Hearing the sound of the door being kicked open, the two of them turned to look at her. Huo Xunzhou, who had been confronting Huo Zhuxiu with a cold expression just a moment ago, suddenly looked relieved. Shanshan? When Lin Shanchu walked over to Huo Xunzhou, his gaze followed her. Even when she sat down beside him, his gaze was still on her. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and whispered into Huo Xunzhous ear to answer his doubts, I just came to take a look. To look at what? Huo Xunzhou asked while lowering his voice. To look at whether Huo Zhuxiu will hit you or not, Lin Shanchu said seriously, not joking at all. Huo Xunzhou was stunned. He did not expect Lin Shanchu toe over for such a reason. These words sounded somewhat inexplicable to anyone who heard them. However, he knew that Lin Shanchu was genuinely worried that Huo Zhuxiu would attack him. She was someone who had been violently treated. She was concerned about such things. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything and held her hand under the table. Crash! Huo Zhuxiu suddenly picked up the cup of water in front of him and threw it on the ground. Huo Xunzhou, do you still think of me as your father? Why are you so fierce? So what if you raise your voice? Before you question others, can you reflect on yourself first? Do you even care about your son, Huo Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu raised her chin slightly and red at Huo Zhuxiu with wide eyes. She felt that she had already seen through Huo Zhuxiu. He was just an upgraded version of Lu Shiyuan. Both Huo Zhuxiu and Lu Shiyuan were scumbags. However, Huo Zhuxiu was more reserved and knew how to conceal himself, unlike a retard like Lu Shiyuan. Huo Zhuxiu clenched his fists as hard as he could. Shut up, you have no right to speak here! Lin Shanchu smiled and said, No way. Huo Zhuxiu realized that Lin Shanchu was even more arrogant than thest time they met. Huo Zhuxiu ignored Lin Shanchu and looked at Huo Xunzhou. Are you going to get this woman out yourself, or should I get someone to kick her out? You can go out by yourself. Huo Xunzhou sneered. You Huo Zhuxius grimace turned even worse. Shortly afterwards, Huo Zhuxiu calmed himself down. The threat was so strong that Lin Shanchu felt a little choked. Those who are acquainted with you know that Huo Xunzhou is the only son you found after going missing for more than twenty years. Those who dont know might think that Huo Xunzhou is your archenemy. Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Zhuxiu had been treating Huo Xunzhou differently from Huo Chaosheng. However, she did not know that Huo Zhuxiu would be biased to this extent. It was fine if he did not like Huo Xunzhou, but when Huo Xunzhou did something he disliked, he even threatened him. Lin Shanchu had never seen such a father. Huo Zhuxiu was no longer as easily angered as he was in the beginning after Lin Shanchu had rebuked him so many times. He said menacingly, Its not up to an outsider like you to interfere in our family affairs! Lin Shanchu would never listen to him. Youre so nice to Huo Chaosheng. Feigning confusion, she asked, Dont tell me Huo Chaosheng is your son? Lin Shanchu rested her chin on her hand and turned to look at Huo Xunzhou before asking Huo Zhuxiu, You actually raised an illegitimate child at home? Are you that careless? If anyone else finds out about this, the Huo family will be aughing stock in Capital City! Enough! Huo Zhuxiu immediately stood up and shouted, Huo Xunzhou! This crazy woman is a scourge. Get rid of her as soon as possible before we talk about other things! When Huo Zhuxiu left angrily, he even kicked the chair. Bang! Following the sound of the door being mmed, the room returned to silence. Lin Shanchu looked away and smiled at Huo Xunzhou. Hes angry from embarrassment. Huo Xunzhou did notment. Instead, he picked up the menu and asked, What do you want to eat? Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at him. Miss Ming has ced the order. Huo Xunzhou avoided the topic just now. He did not seem to want to talk to her about the Huo family. However, Huo Zhuxiu looked furious just now. Was it because she had guessed it correctly? Huo Chaosheng was Huo Zhuxius illegitimate son? Alright. Huo Xunzhou put down the menu. Lets go over and have lunch together. Lin Shanchu pulled his hand and he looked up at her. Just as she was about to speak, the door was pushed open. Xunzhou, Shanshan! Yun Yi strode in with Ming Yao behind him. Big Brother. When Huo Xunzhou saw the two of theme over together, he understood what was going on. Are you alright? Yun Yi asked anxiously. Huo Xunzhou shook his head and Lin Shanchu replied, Were fine. Only then Yun Yi sit down with relief. Ming Yao instructed the waiter to bring the dishes they ordered earlier to the private room. Then, Yun Yi flipped through the menu and ordered food. The four of them gathered together for lunch. After lunch, Li MO drove over to pick Huo Xunzhou up. Huo Xunzhou sent Lin Shanchu home first. On the way back, Huo Xunzhou asked about Lin Shanchu joining the crew. It should be soon. Lin Shanchu patted her bag containing the contract and said, I have to take shoot the magazine cover before I go to the film set.. Chapter 363 - 363: Not Leaving Her Side the Entire Day Chapter 363 - 363: Not Leaving Her Side the Entire Day Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Lin Shanchu went back and showed the contract to Qi Cheng, he had a fatherly look on his face. Shanshan, you actually negotiated a contract on your own? His artist was finally good at something else than scolding reporters and causing trouble. Lin Shanchu smiled as she said, If I hadnt fought for the contract, it might have ended up with Cheng Fanjing. Although Ming Yao and Cheng Fanjing had not reached an agreement yet, she could not tell if Cheng Fanjing would suddenlye to her senses and take the initiative to look for Ming Yao to express her goodwill. Ming Yao probably would not quibble over such a matter. If she gave Cheng Fanjing a way outter, Cheng Fanjing would gain opportunity for the cover again. When the time came, Lin Shanchu would be unable to do anything about it.
You Qi Cheng had mixed feelings as he said, So you took the initiative to talk to Ming Yao just to snatch the cover from Cheng Fanjing? Thats right. Showing an expression that hinted him to praise her, Lin Shanchu asked, Did I do the right thing? Qi Cheng force augh and said one word reluctantly, Yes. As expected, he could not use an ordinary persons mindset to figure out Lin Shanchus thoughts. The next day, Lin Shanchu went to attend the read-through. She saw a familiar ck car as soon as she stepped out of the door. The car window rolled down and Huo Xunzhous face appeared in sight. Get in the car. Lin Shanchu jogged over and asked, Why are you here? Ill take you to the read-through. As Huo Xunzhou spoke, Li MO had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for Lin Shanchu. After getting into the car, Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou inquisitively and asked, Are you so free? Huo Xunzhou looked at her calmly. What could be more important than you? This sentence was so corny that Lin Shanchu felt a little embarrassed. However, she quickly remembered that when she was still staying at the hotel, she deliberately teased him and asked him what was more important than her. This joke was really unbearable. Li MO, who was sitting in front, heard their conversation clearly. He was so shocked that he stepped on the gas pedal and the car shot out like an arrow. Lin Shanchu was caught off guard and subconsciously held Huo Xunzhous hand tightly. Huo Xunzhou reached out to support her and saidzily to Li MO, Drive slowly. Li MO replied, Okay, Big Brother. He did not want to drive fast either. He was just shocked by the sudden cornv words, so he lost control for a moment. However, an experienced driver would never admit that he lost control and stepped on the gas pedal. Lin Shanchu arrived at the venue of the read-through on time. When the crew saw Huo Xunzhouing along, they were all surprised. The director was the first to react. President Huo, youre here too? he asked with a smile. Huo Xunzhou curled his lip slightly and asked seriously in a joking tone, Cant the actresses from your crew bring their family members along? Of course! The director quickly said, Of course they can! Hurry up and go in. Its about to start. Since Huo Xunzhou was present, so everyone was a little reserved when discussing the script. During the intermission, the director walked over and asked Huo Xunzhou tentatively, President Huo, do you have a lunch appointment? When Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him, he immediately exined, Well, they were counting the number of people for lunch just now, so I came to ask Ask? However, the director looked as if he could not wait for Huo Xunzhou to leave. The director really hoped that Huo Xunzhou would leave as soon as possible because everyone was too reserved with him around, which affected the progress. Lin Shanchu could already tell the directors intentions. She looked up at Huo Xunzhou with interest, trying to see how he would respond. I dont have any lunch appointment, Huo Xunzhou replied calmly. Oh The director was stunned for a moment. Ill go tell them. The directors back was filled with disappointment as he left. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and whispered into Huo Xunzhous ear. The director and the others are too embarrassed to drive you away, but are you really not going to leave? I came here with my girlfriend. As a matter of course, I have to wait for her to finish her work before leaving together. Huo Xunzhou rested his chin on his hand and looked at Lin Shanchu with a smile. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and asked, Do you really have nothing to do today? Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow at her and replied, Wouldnt it better to apany you Are you sure youre apanying me? Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and yed with his fingers. His fingers were well-proportioned and beautiful. Lin Shanchu could not bear to let go of them and took a closer look at them one by one. Huo Xunzhou let her y with his hands and changed his tone gently. I want you to apany me. Is that so? Lin Shanchu looked up. Her eyes were as pure as a cats, without any emotion. After Huo Xunzhou looked at her for a moment, the smile on his face gradually faded. Its going to start. Lets have lunch after reading this part. The directors voice suddenly rang out, interrupting their conversation. They had a box lunch ordered by the production team for lunch. The director wanted to arrange for everyone to eat at a restaurant, but Huo Xunzhou tactfully refused. Huo Xunzhou stayed by Lin Shanchus side the entire day, not leaving her side. Sometimes, he would listen to them discuss the script. Sometimes, he would find a book to pass the time. He really looked like a man who was simply apanying his girlfriend at work. When they finished work at night, Li MO drove over to pick them up. Huo Xunzhou had apanied Lin Shanchu at work for the whole day, but Li MO did not follow him. She did not know what he was busy with. No one spoke in the car. It was very quiet. ording to Huo Xunzhous usual habits, he would ask Lin Shanchu what she wanted for dinner. Lin Shanchu leaned against the seat and asked slowly, What do you want to eat for dinner? Huo Xunzhou seemed to have snapped back to reality as he asked, Can we eat at home? The house that Huo Xunzhou arranged for Lin Shanchu had a kitchen so that she could cook for herself. Sure, what do you want to eat? Lin Shanchu chuckled. Well buy some groceries on the way back. Buying groceries? Li MO had a keen ear. When he heard that the two of them were going to cook at home, he immediately replied, Then Ill drive to the supermarket now. Lin Shanchus cooking was the best! The group bought some groceries and went home to cook. After dinner, Huo Xunzhou had no intention of leaving. The house was huge with bedrooms. Even if Huo Xunzhou wanted to stay, he would have a ce to sleep. However, it was not quite like Huo Xunzhous personality. He was a man with a sense of propriety. He Xiang and Qi Cheng also lived here. If it werent for the fact that Huo Xunzhou had no choice, he would not have stayed the night here. Huo Xunzhou had been acting strangely the entire day. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and said to Huo Xunzhou with a serious expression, Lets talk. The other three were perceptive. They quickly took care of the dishes and headed to the kitchen to clean up. Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou to the balcony. Huo Xunzhou looked up at the dark sky and said, The weather will be good tomorrow. Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. Dont change the subject. Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes and did not say anything, like a child who had done something wrong.. Chapter 364 - 364: You Don ‘t Have to Be So Perfunctory Chapter 364 - 364: You Don t Have to Be So Perfunctory Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu did not show any mercy when she saw that look of Huo Xunzhou. Confess yourself. Why have you been following me all day? Huo Xunzhou clenched his fists and cleared his throat lightly. You wanted to apany me. lne Cleep voice slowly KnocKea on Lin snau?s eardrums. It sounaea so pleasant that it was almost bewitching. Lin Shanchu secretly gritted her teeth. This scheming man was trying to trick her again. Hmph, she would not fall for it!
Since you dont want to confess, I wont force you. Lin Shanchu pretended to get up and leave. Just as she turned around, her hand was grabbed. Shanshan Lin Shanchu sat down without hesitation. Huo Xunzhous expression froze. Lin Shanchu urged him, Speak. My father mighty a hand on you again. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly in a deep voice and there was nothing unusual about his expression. Lin Shanchu replied casually, Oh. She thought that Huo Xunzhou followed her around the entire day because he had done something wrong to her. However, this thought crossed her mind before she stopped thinking about it. After all, a man like Huo Xunzhou was as smart as a whip. Even if he did something wrong, he would try his best to hide it and never reveal such an obvious w. In the end, he was only worried that Huo Zhuxiu wouldy a hand on her. Lin Shanchus nonchnt attitude made Huo Xunzhous face darken instantly. Shanshan, you know Huo Zhuxius methods. We cant let our guard down. Its okay. Im not afraid of him. In Huo Zhuxius opinion, every word she said at Boya Hotel yesterday seemed to be treasonous. Therefore, it was normal for Huo Zhuxiu to be so angry that he wanted to kill her again. Lin Shanchuforted him with a smile and even held his hand. Unexpectedly, Huo Xunzhous expression suddenly changed. He clenched his fists as his deep eyes burned with anger. Yes, you are not afraid of him! You are not afraid of death either! Youre not afraid of anything! Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Xunzhou really understood her. She nodded in agreement. Yeah. Then why are you angry? she asked, puzzled. Im afraid! Huo Xunzhouughed at himself and said, Im afraid of everything, but what Im afraid the most is that something bad will befall you. Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment before muttering, Nothing will happen to me After Lu Shiyuans reputation was ruined, everything that happened to her went well. She even vaguely felt that she seemed to have a bit of the aura of a female lead. Everything she wanted to do seemed to go smoothly. Even if there were some twists and turns in the process, the final result was quite good. Thinking of it, Lin Shanchu nodded her head affirmatively and said, I will probably be fine. Huo Xunzhou looked even angrier. He grimaced and pursed his lips. His charming eyes were also filled with anger. He looked a little intimidating. Lin Shanchu dared not provoke him anymore. She was not afraid of him. After all, he would only hurt his body when he was angry. He would not hurt her just because he was angry. However, he was angry because he cared about her. One could not be too heartless. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and tentatively leaned forward. Huo Xunzhou still looked upset, but he did not turn around to dodge her. Lin Shanchus eyes shed as she kissed him. After kissing him, she tilted her head and asked him, Are you still angry? Huo Xunzhou held his breath and turned away with a snort. Obviously, he was still a little angry. She only had one boyfriend, so she had to coax him even if he was angry. Then get a group of bodyguards to follow me, okay? Huo Xunzhous expression finally softened. After a while, he nodded lightly. Yeah. Her boyfriend was really easy to coax. His anger subsided in an instant. Lin Shanchu continued tofort him. Take it easy. I will protect myself. You will protect me too, right? Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. Instead, he held her hand firmly. The next day, Huo Xunzhou came to pick Lin Shanchu up early in the morning as usual. However, he did not follow her around all day like he did the day before. By the time the read-through ended, the news of Huo Xunzhou taking Lin Shanchu to work and picking her up after work every day had already spread in the circle. Lin Shanchu had made time to shoot the cover of MMLY before joining the crew. As soon as she entered the film set, she attracted everyones attention. The staff also knew that Cheng Fanjing was the candidate for the cover of this issue at first. In the end, Lin Shanchu was selected instead. Lin Shanchu had been in the limelight recently in Capital City. First, Yun Yi personally weed her at Boya Hotel. Then, Huo Chaosheng snatched Cheng Fanjings qipao and gave it to her. Then, she moved into the Yun family and officially dered her rtionship with Huo Xunzhou. Now, she snatched away the opportunity of the cover shoot that might have gone to Cheng Fanjing. This woman from Xu City had outshone all the socialites in Capital City. Everyone was curious about Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu calmly walked into the filmset with He Xiang. When Ming Yaos assistant heard themotion, he immediately came over and said, Miss Lin, youre here. Please get ready. President Ming will be here in a while. Ming Yao woulde to supervise the cover shoot of every issue. Thank you. Lin Shanchu thanked him. Not long after she sat down, Ming Yao arrived. Youre in good shape today. The staff was touching up Lin Shanchus makeup. Ming Yao walked up to her and sized her up. Lin Shanchus lips curved into a gentle smile as she said, Youre here. Yeah. The expression on Ming Yaos face immediately became a little restrained. The gentler Lin Shanchus smile was, the more vignt she became. After the previous contact at Boya Hotel, Ming Yao finally understood that the rumors and reports about Lin Shanchu on the Inte were not groundless. It was all true! Ming Yao left after a short while. When the shoot was over at night, Huo Xunzhou came to pick Lin Shanchu up from work. However, Lin Shanchu received a call from Ming Yao as soon as she got into the car. . Lets have dinner together tonight. Alright. She had no reason to reject Ming Yaos invitation to dinner. After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu met Huo Xunzhous probing gaze and said, Miss Ming asked me out for dinner. Huo Xunzhous expression darkened. Ill have dinner with you tomorrow. Lin Shanchu opened the car door and got out after finished speaking. She seemed to remember something and turned around, only to see Huo Xunzhous slightly disappointed expression. As if praising Huo Xunzhou, she said, I feel safe going out with so many bodyguards today. Huo Xunzhou said expressionlessly, If you think Im annoying, you can just say so. You dont have to be so perfunctory. He was beside her when she answered the call just now. Although he could not hear Ming Yaos voice, she could hear Lin Shanchus voice clearly. She did not hesitate at all when she replied, Alright.. Chapter 365 - 365: Don I t Let Brother Xunzhou Hear Your Words, Or Else He Will Be Angry Chapter 365 - 365: Don I t Let Brother Xunzhou Hear Your Words, Or Else He Will Be Angry Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu frowned as she asked, Why would I find you annoying? There was a period of time when she did not see Huo Xunzhou for half a month, but she felt nothing was wrong with it. Now that she had to see him several times a day, she was not used to it. Even though Lin Shanchu felt guilty, she looked like she was wronged judging from her expression and tone. Huo Xunzhou was silent for a moment before sighing. Where are you going to meet Miss Ming? Ill take you there. Huo Xunzhou left after dropping Lin Shanchu off at the ce she and Ming Yao had agreed to meet.
After Lin Shanchu got out of the car, she leaned against the window and said considerately, You go first. Ill watch you leave. Huo Xunzhou snorted. Go in. Oh. Lin Shanchu turned around and left, followed by a group of bodyguards. When she reached the entrance, she turned around and saw that Huo Xunzhous car was still parked there. She could not see Huo Xunzhous face anymore, but still she waved in his direction. In the next second, a short whistle sounded. Lin Shanchu went in, satisfied. As soon as she entered the restaurant, someone greeted her respectfully. Miss Lin, please follow me. The appointment with Ming Yao this time was not at Boya Hotel. It seemed to be a restaurant with great privacy. The well-trained employee was obviously startled when he saw therge group of bodyguards following behind Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu said calmly, Thank you. When they arrived at the entrance of the private room, the bodyguards stayed outside while Lin Shanchu pushed the door open and entered alone. The moment she went in, everyone in the private room looked at her. Lin Shanchu looked at the scene in the room and tilted her head in surprise. She thought that Ming Yao was going to ask her out for a meal alone. She did not expect it to be a dinner party. Moreover, all of them were women. Lin Shanchu roughly counted the women. There were about ten of them. There were three empty seats next to the round table. Ming Yao was not here yet. Lin Shanchu walked straight over and sat down, calmly epting the gazes of the others. Lin Shanchu casually nced around and realized that they were all familiar faces. They were all people she had met at Patriarch Chengs birthday banquet and most of them were friends with Cheng Fanjing. Oh, it turned out to be a socialite tea party. In that case, things got interesting. Everyone present knew that she did not get along with Cheng Fanjing, but still the host invited her to this tea party.. It was obvious that the host wanted to see her fight with Cheng Fanjing. The person who invited her over was really up to no good. She almost forgot that the person who invited her was Ming Yao. Yeah, Ming Yao was really up to no good. No wonder Ming Yao only asked her out for a meal at the beginning and did not mention that it was a socialite tea party. Otherwise, she would not havee over. After the group of socialites sized Lin Shanchu up thoroughly, they exchanged nces with each other, deliberately not saying anything to make Lin Shanchu feel awkward. However, Lin Shanchu did not show an awkward expression. She even asked the waiter to make him a cup of ck tea. The woman sitting opposite Lin Shanchu suddenly spoke. Have you heard? Recently, the second son of the Li family found a girl from somewhere. She had no judgment at all and offended people everywhere. In less than a week, she was kicked away by the second son of the Li family. Someone started the conversation, and soon, someone else chimed in. That girl? You dont know yet, right? I heard that shes a starlet. Some starlets these days act high and mighty, and their quality is not good either. Thats right. A starlet whose name Ive never even heard of dares to be so arrogant. If you ask me, there are very few good women in the entertainment industry. Dont say that. There are still some good ones. That might not be the case The usation was too obvious. Lin Shanchu felt sorry for them if she did not step in to confront them. Dont let Brother Xunzhou hear your words, or else he will be angry. Lin Shanchu leaned back in the chair and spoke softly, looking gentle and harmless. The woman who had just started the conversation seemed to have finally found an opportunity. She snorted coldly and said, We didnt mention you. Why are you admitting yourself to be the one criticized? We havent even said anything yet, and shes already using Huo Xunzhou to pressure us. This kind of person is really Lin Shanchus eyes widened in confusion. So youre talking about me? I thought you were talking about Yun Wu. The person who was talking just now instantly fell silent. The private room fell into a dead silence. Lin Shanchu took a sip of ck tea and said slowly, Brother Xunzhou and Yun Wu are very close, so watch your mouth. The Yun family has a close rtionship with the Huo family and the Cheng family. Yun Wu was not someone that anyone could talk about. Therefore, everyones expression changed when Lin Shanchu mentioned Yun wu. Only then did they remember that Yun Wu had a deep friendship with Lin Shanchu. For a moment, no one dared to make a sound. A momentter, someone smiled and said, Were just casually talking about themon phenomenon in the entertainment industry. Miss Lin, dont overthink it. Yes. Lin Shanchu replied with a smile, I heard that some families with a little bit of property will choose business marriage and use their childrens marriage as a tool to exchange for benefits and cooperation. The impatient person stood up immediately, pointed at Lin Shanchu and scolded her. Lin Shanchu! Stop talking nonsense! I was just talking about themon phenomenon in your circle. Miss, dont overthink it. Lin Shanchu looked around and slowly added, Everyone here, dont overthink it. All the socialites present felt that they had been insulted. However, since they were the ones who attacked Lin Shanchu by innuendo in the first ce, it was inappropriate for them to say anything now. All of them were holding back their anger as they lowered their heads and drank their tea with ashen faces. Only Lin Shanchu was still smiling. The tea here is really good. The more unhappy these socialites were, the happier she was. Soon, Lin Shanchu felt a little disappointed. No one here was a match for her. Why was Ming Yao not here yet? Just as this thought crossed her mind, the door of the private room was pushed open again. Sorry, Imte. Ming Yao was still wearing a professional suit, as if she had just finished work and rushed over from thepany. Everyone stood up as if they had seen their savior. Sister Ming,e and sit. You are notte. We just arrived. Sister Ming, what do you want to drink? Ming Yao smiled lightly and skillfully dealt with them, not leaving any of them behind. After dealing with the others, Ming Yao sat down beside Lin Shanchu and asked. When did vou arrive? Ive been here for a while. Lin Shanchu looked at Ming Yao eloquently. I chatted with everyone for quite a while. Ming Yaos eyes shed as she chuckled. It seems that you all and Miss Lin have gotten to know each other. Ill skip the introduction then.. Chapter 366 - 366: Overwhelmed Chapter 366 - 366: Overwhelmed Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ming Yao had her own career and had long stopped partying with these socialites. However, she had high prestige in the socialite circle and all the socialites present had to show her respect. Everyone was too embarrassed to talk about how they had criticized Lin Shanchu, so they could only smile awkwardly. Ming Yao nced at their eyes and roughly understood what had happened just now. She leaned towards Lin Shanchu and whispered, Looks like you won.
Lin Shanchu snorted proudly. Of course. Ming Yao was amused by her and could not help but smile. Youre really amazing. Lin Shanchu raised her chin slightly and epted Ming Yaos praise with a peace of mind. Although Ming Yao was a little evil-minded, she was still a magnanimous person. Hence, she decided to forgive Ming Yao for the time being. The rtionship between the two of them inexplicably became closer. Ming Yao even thought that Lin Shanchu was a little cute. Huo Xunzhous girlfriend was indeed different. Are you hungry? When Ming Yao spoke to her, her tone involuntarily became much gentler than before. Lin Shanchus face fell as she replied, Im starving. She had been busy all day, so she was tired and hungry. She initially thought that Ming Yao would ask her out for a meal alone and that she would be able to get something to eat as soon as she arrived. As a result, she was greeted by a group of entric women. Not only was she forced to drink arge cup of tea and confront these women, but she also did not have time to order food. Ming Yao pursed her lip and smiled. Then, she called the waiter over and handed the menu to Lin Shanchu. What do you want to eat? Everyone was surprised by Ming Yaos attitude towards Lin Shanchu. Someone asked carefully, How about we wait for Miss Cheng to arrive before ordering food? Ming Yao looked up and said calmly, Since Miss Cheng organized this dinner and invited everyone over, its natural that she doesnt want everyone to wait for her on an empty stomach, right? It turned out that Cheng Fanjing was the one who hosted the dinner party. Lin Shanchu finally understood why Ming Yao called her over. Cheng Fanjing did not simply invite everyone toe for dinner. She even specially invited Ming Yao clearly because of the cover shoot of MMLY. Ming Yao probably did not deign to argue with Cheng Fanjing over this matter, so she called Lin Shanchu over to divert the conflict so that she and Cheng Fanjing could confront each other. At the same time, she wanted to make Lin Shanchus presence known in the socialite circle and show Cheng Fanjing her might. After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Lin Shanchus unhappinesspletely dissipated. Even if Ming Yao had not asked her toe over this time, she and Cheng Fanjing would have met sooner orter. She had been worried that she would not have time to deal with Cheng Fanjing after entering the film set. Now that Ming Yao had pulled such a stunt, it was exactly what she wanted. When everyone heard Ming Yaos words, their expressions changed slightly. What Sister Ming said makes sense. Lets start ordering food, shall we? Thats true. Miss Cheng hasnte yet probably because shes dyed by something. Lets eat while waiting for her. Cheng Fanjing had always been putting on airs in the socialite circle and was usually thest person to arrive at all gatherings. Everyone usually dared not say anything because of the Cheng familys status, so they could only wait patiently every time. Ming Yao rarely attended such gatherings. She already gave Cheng Fanjing face bying over today. However, Cheng Fanjing had not arrived and actually wanted Ming Yao to wait for her, which was somewhat arrogant. Everyone slowly began to order food. When Cheng Fanjing arrived, the waiter happened to be serving the dishes. Her expression froze for a moment before she smiled. Looks like I came at the right time. Cheng Fanjing sat down beside Ming Yao and said, Sister Ming. Mmm. Ming Yao nced at her with a faint smile. Anyone could tell that Ming Yao was cold to Cheng Fanjing. Even Cheng Fanjing felt it herself. When she spoke again, her attitude towards Ming Yao became more respectful. Im sorry, I camete because of the traffic jam on the way. Ming Yao replied with a faint smile, Mmm. The smile on Cheng Fanjings face also faded a little. She was the host today, but Ming Yaos cold attitude made her look bad. Lin Shanchu, who held a grudge against her, started to fan the mes. There was no traffic jam when we came here with Miss Ming, thats why we came early. It was peak hour with traffic jams all over the city. Other than Lin Shanchu, who was called over by Ming Yao halfway, everyone else, including Ming Yao, set off early after taking into ount the traffic jam. Previously, everyone wanted to stand on Cheng Fanjings side and pick on Lin Shanchu. After being teased by Lin Shanchu and Ming Yao, they were mentally overwhelmed and started to dislike Cheng Fanjing. No one stood up to speak up for Cheng Fanjing. Everyone was quiet as a mouse and eating with their heads lowered, as if they had not heard anything. In fact, everyone was listening attentively to Cheng Fanjings response. Cheng Fanjing forced out a smile and looked at Lin Shanchu generously. Miss Lin, you are here too. Lin Shanchu replied, Miss Ming asked me toe over. Cheng Fanjing could not hold her smile anymore and said, I wanted to invite you at first, but I was worried that you would be busy with work, so I didnt invite you. Lin Shanchu said, Im quite busy with work. I did the cover shoot of MMLY for the entire day, but I came over as soon as I finished work. The smile on Cheng Fanjings face disappearedpletely. She lowered her head and drank arge ss of water. Lin Shanchu continued to add fuel to the fire. Miss Cheng, please remember to invite me if you host this kind of gathering next time. Ill rush over no matter how busy I am. Since Cheng Fanjing wanted to pretend to be magnanimous, Lin Shanchu would give her the chance. Left with no choice, Cheng Fanjing bit the bullet and replied, Alright. Lets eat. When Ming Yao noticed that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, she started to smooth things over. If you dont eat now, the food will get cold. If she was the only one present, she could let Lin Shanchu and Cheng Fanjing quarrel or fight. However, there were others present. Lin Shanchu probably did not care about any decency. If she had not put a stop to this conflict, Lin Shanchu would have done something like flipping the table. However, she still had to show some respect for Cheng Fanjing. After all, this circle was small. In the future, they both would see each other often, so she should avoid burning her bridges. For Yun Yis sake, Lin Shanchu was willing to give Ming Yao face. Seeing that Lin Shanchu, who had been ranting as if she was going to flip the table in the next second, quieted down and ate obediently after hearing Ming Yaos words, the crowd could not help but admire Ming Yao even more. A true socialite not only had a sessful career, but she was also better at dealing with interpersonal rtionships than ordinary people. Compared to Ming Yao, Cheng Fanjing was no match for her in any other aspects except for putting on airs. What she did not know was that when the dinner ended, Ming Yao smiled gently and handed Lin Shanchu the gift she had prepared beforehand. Ming Yao looked sincere as she said, Thank you for today. She had been busy with her career all these years and basically did not attend such socialite tea parties anymore. However, that did not mean that she did not want this position. Lin Shanchu had shown her enough respect today, allowing her to sessfully put Cheng Fanjing in her ce. Therefore, she had to thank Lin Shanchu properly as a matter of course.. Chapter 367 - 367: A Bag of Invitation Cards Chapter 367 - 367: A Bag of Invitation Cards Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu took it without hesitation and shook it in her hand. The gift box was small and light. Can I open it? Lin Shanchu asked Ming Yao, but her hands were already moving. Then, she opened the gift box with a light pull with her fingers. It was a designer brooch. Lin Shanchu could not tell its brand and material, but she could only see that the brooch was beautiful and she liked it very much. Ming Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Shanchu picking up the brooch and gesturing it on her clothes, looking like she was fond of it. Then, Ming Yao frowned slightly. Why would she be nervous that Lin Shanchu might not like the brooch she gave her? She had already given Lin Shanchu face by preparing a thank-you gift for her, yet she was still nervous? What kind of monster was Lin Shanchu? Lin Shanchu looked up and saw Ming Yao looking at her strangely. She couldnt be thinking of going back on her word, could she? Lin Shanchu ced the brooch into her bag in front of Ming Yao and said, I like it very much. Remember to call me if you have something good like this next time. It was the thank-you gift she deserved. Ming Yao could forget about taking it back! Ming Yao was speechless. It was just a brooch, but was there a need to do that? Seeing that Lin Shanchu was about to leave, Ming Yao couldnt help but ask her, Isnt Huo Xunzhou going to give you jewelry? Nope. Lin Shanchu shook her head. Huo Xunzhou would only dissipate his fortune to acquire shares and give them to her. He Ming Yao asked tactfully, Is he having financial distress? She did not know much about Huo Xunzhou, but after interacting with him, she did not think he was a stingy man. If Huo Xunzhou was really a stingy man, Lin Shanchu would not have taken a fancy to him. Yeah! Lin Shanchu nodded. Huo Xunzhou had spent all of his money on acquiring shares. He was very poor now. Ming Yao was speechless. Huo Xunzhou was famous before he retired from the entertainment industry. He had also invested in private andter started apany. Thepanys profits were not bad either. Logically speaking, Huo Xunzhou should not be short of money unless he squandered all the money he earned. Lin Shanchu noticed that Ming Yao was looking at her with pity. Did Ming Yao misunderstand something? Lin Shanchu tried to exin, Huo Xunzhou treats me very well. Huo Xunzhou had acquired Lu Corporations shares in private, so she could not tell anyone about it. Love is nothing without materialism, Ming Yao said with an unfathomable expression. I have money. Lin Shanchu said, forgetting to save Huo Xunzhous dignity. Besides, he just doesnt have money for the time being. Ming Yao said, There are many men. Lin Shanchu was confused. Ming Yao continued, Especially in Capital City. Lin Shanchu asked, What are you trying to say? Ming Yao replied, If you dont like Huo Xunzhou anymore and want to dump him, I can introduce you to a boyfriend. Lin Shanchu was stunned. Im not thinking of dumping him. Our rtionship is very stable. Ming Yao said, Yes. She did not seem to believe Lin Shanchus words. Shanshan. A familiar voice suddenly sounded. Lin Shanchu looked over and saw Huo Xunzhou behind Ming Yao. She did not know when he arrived and how much of her conversation with Ming Yao he had heard. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and walked past Ming Yao, looking at him with a smile. You are here. Huo Xunzhou also smiled at Lin Shanchu. However, when he looked at Ming Yao, the smile on his face disappearedpletely and his expression turned cold. Miss Ming. Even his tone was cold. Lin Shanchu was certain that Huo Xunzhou had heard her entire conversation with Ming Yao. Mr. Huo. Ming Yao greeted calmly Huo Xunzhou, revealing a professional smile. Huo Xunzhou looked at Ming Yao deeply and reached out to Lin Shanchu. Shanshan,e here. Lets go home. When Lin Shanchu passed by Ming Yao, she reminded her in a low voice. Youre in trouble. My Brother Xunzhou is really vengeful. Ming Yao was speechless. She was kind enough to look out for Lin Shanchu, but what was with Lin Shanchus gloating tone? Did Lin Shanchu have no conscience? Ming Yao stood still and watched Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu leave. Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou to the parking lot. As they chatted, Huo Xunzhou turned his head to look at Lin Shanchus face from time to time. The scene was harmonious. There was no physical contact, but the atmosphere was intimate. Ming Yao vaguely felt that she was being a little nosy. As she turned to leave, she thought of what Lin Shanchu had said before she left. Huo Xunzhou was polite to her every time he met her, but Yun Yi was the the main reason behind his courtesy. Huo Xunzhou did not look like a good-tempered person. Lin Shanchu said that he was very vengeful.. Ming Yao felt a chill run down her spine. What happened at the socialite dinner spread throughout the circle the next day. Ming Yao was still the smooth operator. Cheng Fanjing deliberately showed upst, whereas Lin Shanchu did not give face to anyone at the dinner party except Ming Yao. In fact, most of the people in the circle were curious about Lin Shanchu. However, everyone stood on Cheng Fanjings side and selectively ignored Lin Shanchu because Cheng Fanjing did not get along with her. They did not even send Lin Shanchu an invitation to any party. However, Ming Yaos attitude towards Lin Shanchu caused a subtle change in everyones mentality. They began to tentatively send Lin Shanchu anonymous party invitations. When Lin Shanchu finished filming, she saw Qi Cheng standing at the side with a bulging bag waiting for her. What is it? She asked as she pointed at the ck bag in Qi Chengs hand. Qi Cheng unzipped the bag and opened it for her to take a look. Lin Shanchu lowered her head to take a look. Then, she reached out and rummaged through the bag, only to find that it was filled with invitation cards. Why did you prepare so many invitation cards? Qi Cheng was silent for a moment before he replied, Someone else sent all of these to you. Huh? Lin Shanchu was surprised. Musical concert? she asked as she opened an invitation card. It was something she could not appreciate. Lin Shanchu threw it back into the bag without hesitation and opened another invitation card. Birthday banquet? Im sure Ill have to give a gift if I attend the birthday banquet. I dont want to spend money on someone I dont know. Red wine tasting? Lin Shanchus eyes lit up. Qi Cheng silently took the invitation card from her hand and said, Youll be entering the film set tomorrow night. You have to maintain your condition. Its best if you dont drink for the next two days. Lin Shanchu reluctantly took out another invitation card. The content of this invitation card was ridiculously simple. There was only simple sentence: [Go for a spin and have a meal.] The signature was also simple: [your friend]. Lin Shanchu smiled and showed the invitation card to Qi Cheng. Can I attend this one? Who wrote this? Qi Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a long time, confirming that he had never seen this handwriting before.. Chapter 368 - 368: What Does This Have to Do With Brother Xunzhou? Chapter 368 - 368: What Does This Have to Do With Brother Xunzhou? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion My friend. Lin Shanchu pointed at the signature. Qi Cheng asked, Which friend of yours? Lin Shanchu replied, Youll know once you go. Qi Cheng was speechless. Lin Shanchu stuffed the invitation card into her bag. Ill go for a spin and have a meal with this friend tomorrow morning and enter the film set at night. After a long while of hesitation, Qi Cheng asked tentatively, Wheres President Huo? Whats wrong with him? Lin Shanchu raised her head and looked at him curiously. Qi Cheng had aplicated expression on his face as he asked, Arent you going to spend some time with him before you enter the film set? Lin Shanchu replied, I apany him every day, dont I? Qi Cheng was speechless. The next day, Lin Shanchu woke up early. Right after she finished washing up, she saw Huo Xunzhous message. Huo Xunzhou: [Do you want to go out and have fun today?] Lin Shanchu: [I have an appointment.] Lin Shanchu: [I received a bag of invitation cards yesterday.] Huo Xunzhou: [Shanshan, you are really amazing.] Huo Xunzhous praise was pleasing to Lin Shanchu. Sheined to Huo Xunzhou: [I wanted to attend the wine tasting, but Brother Qi refused to let me do so.] Huo Xunzhou: [Yeah.] Huh? Lin Shanchu: [Am I not your beloved Shanshan anymore?] Huo Xunzhou: [Have fun.] Lin Shanchu: C] As expected, she was no longer his beloved Shanshan. He did not speak up for her and even changed the topic. Not only did he change the topic, but he did not bother to ask who she had an appointment with! Pursing her lip, Lin Shanchu returned to her room to put on makeup. She wanted to put on the most beautiful makeup and when she went out to have funter, she would send Huo Xunzhou a photo to piss him off. Lin Shanchu arrived at the designated ce on time. The moment she got out of the car, she saw a motorcade. Sister-inw! It was Li Mos voice. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Li MO poking his head out of the car and waving at her. Since Li MO had appeared, Huo Xunzhou should be nearby. Wheres Huo Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu asked indifferently as she walked over to him with a sullen face. Behind us. Li MO pointed at the back of the car. The window of the back seat rolled down at this moment. What a coincidence, Shanshan, Huo Xunzhou said with a smile on his handsome face. Lin Shanchu was speechless. What a scheming man! Lin Shanchu snorted and red at him. Come on. Huo Xunzhous smile deepened as he said in an intoxicating voice, Ill take you for a spin. Lin Shanchu was a little tempted. Just as she was about to get into the car, Wen Huan appeared. Iming! Wen Huan pulled up the cap on his head and looked at Lin Shanchu with anticipation. When he sent Lin Shanchu the invitation, he deliberately did not put his name, just to find out if she would be surprised to see him. In the end, Lin Shanchu only responded calmly, Mhm. Looking at her in disbelief, Wen Huan asked, You knew that I was the one who sent the invitation? Of course. Wen Huan was dumbstruck. Lin Shanchu continued, What made you think your invitation would stand out among so many exquisite invitations? When she saw the invitation card, she guessed that it was from Wen Huan. Wen Huan said resignedly Then I have great prestige. Lin Shanchu replied, Yeah. Wen Huan burst outughing. In the past two days, there have been rumors in the circle that only prestigious people managed to invite Lin Shanchu, so I joined in the fun. Why is there such a rumor? Although she would not ept invitations from ordinary people, it should not be so exaggerated. Since when did she be so high and mighty? Its because you attended the dinner a few days ago. Didnt Cheng Fanjing and Ming Yao go there as well? Those who attended the dinner said that you only showed respect to Ming Yao After a pause, Wen Huan spread his hands and continued, Then, the rumors spread like this. It turned out to be like this. No wonder she suddenly received so many invitations. Lin Shanchu said, You guys are so boring. Wen Huan looked into Huo Xunzhous car. Get in the car. Almost everyone is here. Well leave in a while. Lin Shanchu followed his gaze. Huo Xunzhous arm was casually ced on the edge of the car window as he looked at her with a smile. Ill take your car, Lin Shanchu said as she grabbed Wen Huan. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and his poker face looked somewhat dangerous. Theres too much stuff in my car. Wen Huan shook off Lin Shanchus hand and said, It cant fit anyone. Its okay. Im thin. I can sit if I squeeze in. Lin Shanchu put on a fake smile and held onto Wen Huans arm. Wen Huan was speechless. Which car is yours? Lin Shanchu pulled Wen Huan and walked forward. Wen Huan turned to Huo Xunzhou and gave him a look, trying to tell him that he was forced. Then, he turned back and pointed at the car in front. Lin Shanchu heard a familiar voice after taking a few steps. Shanshan. Big Brother? Youre here too. Yun Yi had always been calm andposed with a smile on his face. However, Yun Yis smile was a little forced today. Lin Shanchu was a little confused. Just as she was about to ask if something had happened, a woman appeared beside Yun Yi. Miss Lin. The woman was an unfamiliar face. She was dignified and beautiful as she greeted Lin Shanchu with a smile. Hello. Lin Shanchu nodded slightly in response. Yun Yi winked vigorously at Lin Shanchu as he spoke, Shanshan, our car is spacious. Come with us. Was Yun Yi kidnapped? That was right, Yun Yi and Ming Yao were a couple. It was obvious that this dignified beauty was interested in Yun Yi, but he did not want to be alone with her. Alright, I Lin Shanchu said as she went forward to open the car door. Miss Lin, get in quickly. The woman next to Yun Yi said slowly, I heard from Grandpa Yun that youre cute and obedient. I really want to chat with you. Lin Shanchus raised hand stopped in mid-air. There was a hidden meaning in this womans words. She even deliberately mentioned Yun Hongru. She looked back and forth between the two of them and immediately understood that this was a matchmaking session the old man had arranged for Yun Yi. Why would she join in the fun when someone else was having a blind date? Thats a shame. I havent had a good chat with Wen Huan in a long time. Lets talk some other day when youre free. Lin Shanchu pulled Wen Huans arm and left. Yun Yi was speechless. Did he have hope on the wrong person after all? Lin Shanchus phone rang as soon as she got into Wen Huans car. Miss Ming? The call was from Ming Yao. Is Yun Yi with you guys? Ming Yao asked with a hint of restrained anger. Lin Shanchu replied, Yeah. Is there another woman beside him? Ming Yao asked. Lin Shanchu hesitated. Should she tell Ming Yao about it? Ha! Ming Yao sneered. Huo Xunzhou! He did whatever it took to trick me! Trying to defend him, Lin Shanchu asked unhappily, What does this have to do with Brother Xunzhou? Chapter 369 - 369: Sweet-talks Were All Fake Chapter 369 - 369: Sweet-talks Were All Fake Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ming Yao sounded a little agitated. Huo Xunzhou has a girlfriend now, and Grandpa Yun is so happy. If Huo Xunzhou didnt instigate him, Grandpa Yun wouldnt have thought of asking that fool Yun Yi to go on a blind date! Fool? Yun Yi was calm and cautious. How could he look like a fool? Ming Yao shouted, Thats not the main point! Lin Shanchu asked, Oh, then why do you call Big Brother a fool? Ming Yao was speechless. If she were to die young in this life, she must have died of anger because of the couple, Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. Ming Yao was someone who had seen much of life, so she quickly calmed down. In short, the instigator of this incident is your man, Huo Xunzhou! Do you have evidence? Lin Shanchu guiltily lowered her voice. She Imew better than anyone that Huo Xunzhou was definitely capable of doing something like this. Huo Xunzhou looked like a proper and elegant young master, but in fact, he had a lot of problems. He was petty, vengeful, scheming and full of tricks. However, he was her boyfriend after all. Of course, she had to defend her boyfriend. Ming Yao was a business-oriented elite, so she was naturally smart. She could basically guess what Lin Shanchu was thinking. Lin Shanchu, dont you have a guilty conscience when you say things like that? But Lin Shanchu realized that Ming Yao had seen through her, so she decided toy her cards on the table. You provoked him in the first ce. As if trying to be the first to answer the question, Ming Yao answered immediately, So, I have to find a chance to apologize to him! Huh? The response was different from what she thought. How could Ming Yao admit defeat so quickly? It was not Ming Yaos style at all. Ming Yao said, He didnt pick up my call. He probably blocked me. I hope to talk to him or apologize to him in person. Arent you going to fight back? Lin Shanchu advised her. Ming Yao said, I have a ne that matches the brooch I gave youst time. Was he trying to bribe her? Lin Shanchu really liked the brooch Ming Yao gave her. As a big shot in the fashion industry, Ming Yao had first-ss taste. The matching ne would definitely look good. Lin Shanchu was tempted. I want to see the ne before I enter the film set tonight. Alright. Deal. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone in a good mood. You were bribed by a ne? When Lin Shanchu was on the phone earlier, Wen Huan had been listening attentively. Although Lin Shanchu did not put Ming Yao on speaker, he could roughly guess what was going on. Lin Shanchu shook her head and refuted, No, its not just a ne. Its a beautiful ne that Ive never seen before. Wen Huan was bewildered. After a long while of exination, it did not seem to make any difference. Sometimes, he felt that it was hard to figure out Lin Shanchus temper, but at other times, he felt that she was especially easy to talk to and coax. Wen Huan smiled and asked, My cousin called you? How did you know? Lin Shanchus eyes widened in shock. I heard you mention Yun Yi. Wen Huan smiled mysteriously. Lin Shanchus eyes beamed as she asked gossiply, You know about Ming Yao and Big Brother? Wen Huan frowned at Lin Shanchu and replied, My sister, cousin and Yun Yi are former ssmates. They often took me with them when they went out to have fun. Ming Yao and Big Brother are former ssmates? Lin Shanchu was getting more and more excited. Since theyre former ssmates, they must have known each other for many years. Howe they havent gotten together after so many years? Its true that they have known each other for many years. After all, they have known each other since they were young. As for why they havent gotten together, Im not too sure either. There must be some kind of unresolved problem between the two of them.. Oh. The ce Wen Huan found was not bad. There were mountains, a river andwns. Even Huo Xunzhou was satisfied with this ce. Righter after Lin Shanchu got out of the car, she saw Huo Xunzhou looking at the scenery in the distance with a satisfied expression. Yun Yi frowned and walked toward him. Just as he lowered his head to say something, Miss Jiang, who had been on a blind date with Yun Yi, walked over. Lin Shanchu learned from Wen Huan that this youngdy was surnamed Jiang. Miss Jiang gently asked to pitch a tent with Yun Yi. Although Yun Yi did not want to go on a blind date, he still had to give Miss Jiang the most basic respect and could not give her the cold shoulder. After Yun Yi and Miss Jiang went to set up the tent, Lin Shanchu walked over to Huo Xunzhou. What do you think of Miss Jiang? Huo Xunzhou asked naturally as if it was a casual conversation about family matters. It seemed that the little friction between the two of them had been resolved. Lin Shanchu thought about it and felt that she had already taken revenge on him by not sitting in the same car as him, so she would reluctantly forgive him. Miss Jiang looks very nice. Shes gentle, dignified and beautiful. Huo Xunzhou seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He smiled and asked, What do you think about her being my sister-inw? I dont know her well. Besides, its naturally up to Big Brother to decide who should be your the sister-inw After a pause, Lin Shanchu squinted and added, Mind your own business. Looking docile, Huo Xunzhou blinked and replied, Oh. It was totally a sign of guilt. Dont cause trouble for Big Brother and Ming Yao. Huo Xunzhou turned around and stared at her. Lin Shanchu met his gaze directly, looking imposing. The next second, Huo Xunzhou asked casually, What did Ming Yao give you? Lin Shanchu was shocked. How did this man know everything? Lin Shanchu was the one feeling guilty and her aura weakened in an instant. You Huo Xunzhou looked helpless. Her pure eyes looked serious as she said, Please forgive Ming Yao! She just said it casually. She wont really introduce a boyfriend to me. Besides, I like you the most and I wont leave you no matter what. Ill never give her the chance to introduce a boyfriend to me. As Lin Shanchu spoke, she pulled Huo Xunzhous hand and ced it on her cheek. Huo Xunzhou looked down at her with a calm gaze devoid of emotions. You dont believe me? Lin Shanchu frowned deeply, looking aggrieved. She knew that Huo Xunzhous heart would soften when he saw her like this. Sure enough, Huo Xunzhous expression softened quickly. He pinched Lin Shanchus face expressionlessly. He said firmly, Looks like you like the benefits Ming Yao gave you very much. Lin Shanchu tried to quibble, Brother Xunzhou, am I that kind of person in your heart? Yes, Huo Xunzhou replied expressionlessly. Sweet-talks were all fake. The false hope was real. No one knew Lin Shanchu better than him. Lin Shanchu, who had been exposed, thought of a countermeasure for three seconds before choosing to give up on herself. Yeah, I really like the ne that Ming Yao promised to give me.. Chapter 370 - 370: Betrayal Chapter 370 - 370: Betrayal Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a long time after hearing Lin Shanchus words. I see. Then can you forgive Ming Yao? Yes. Yun Yis voice came from the riverside. Shanshan, do you want to catch some fish? Miss Jiang was standing next to Yun Yi. She had taken off her shoes and rolled up her pants, looking as if she was going to catch fish with Yun Yi at any time. Ille right away, Lin Shanchu said to Yun Yi after looking at Miss Jiang with interest. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and asked Huo Xunzhou excitedly, Lets catch some fish, shall we? She pushed Huo Xunzhou to the riverside. Miss Jiang already entered the river. She bent over and happily reached into the river to grab a handful of mud. The more she grabbed, the more energetic she became. Ming Yao said that there were many men in Capital City. However, she thought that the women in Capital City had their own unique characteristics. Miss Jiang looked dignified and gentle, but she was quite frank when it came to catching fish in the river. I caught a crab! Miss Jiang stood up excitedly with a crab in her hand. Since the atmosphere reached this point, Lin Shanchu decided to support them. bne gave MISS ng a mumos up. Amazing. Come down and have fun, Miss Jiang said delightfully after being praise. To be honest, Miss Jiang was pretty. It was really hard for her to refuse an invitation from a beauty. Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and said, Im going down to catch some fish. It was neither an inquiry nor a discussion, but a notice. It was because she had already started to take off her shoes. Huo Xunzhou remained silent and just bent down to help her roll up her pants. Be careful, he warned Lin Shanchu before she went into the water. Got it. Lin Shanchu stepped into the river without turning back. Miss Jiang enthusiastically leaned over to Lin Shanchu to share her experience. Crabs may be hiding under the rocks in shallow water like this. Really? Lin Shanchu immediately moved a stone away from her feet after hearing those words. There really was a mini crab hidden under the rock. Ah! Miss Jiang eximed excitedly, Its a baby crab! Lin Shanchu was struck by her adorable tone. Some youngdies looked gentle and dignified on the surface, but in fact, they were adorable people who would say baby crab secretly. Miss Jiang picked up the mini crab and looked at it carefully. Its so small Lin Shanchu thought she would say, Lets set it free. However, the truth was One bite at a time. It must be delicious, right? Miss Jiang looked at Lin Shanchu with sparkling eyes, trying to seek her approval. Lin Shanchu blinked in a daze. She quickly followed Miss Jiangs train of thought and agreed, You can deep-fry it. Do you like the crispy texture? I like it! Miss Jiang nodded excitedly at first, but then she was a little disappointed. After that, she rxed and said with a smile, Having high calories is no big deal. Ill go on a diet for two days after I go home! Diet? Yeah, I want to control my weight. Every time I indulge in eating and drinking, I have to go on a diet to control it. As if remembering something, Miss Jiang asked Lin Shanchu, Dont you have to control your diet to keep your figure as an actress? I do. After receiving Lin Shanchus affirmative answer, Miss Jiang seemed to have found a confidant. Its really difficult to lose weight and control your diet. Life is too difficult Miss Jiang had a spirit ofedy. Lin Shanchu nodded and echoed, Its quite difficult. However, she did not seem to have deliberately controlled her diet. Normally, one had to control their diet to maintain their figure. No matter how much she ate, her weight and figure remained unchanged. When she was terminally ill, she could say that she looked fat because she was sick. But now that she was cured It felt like a cheat code. Could this be the female leads aura? After Miss Jiang put the baby crab into the bucket, she looked more serious and said, I find you quite easy to get along with. Yes, I am. She was easy to get along with in the first ce. Miss Jiangughed. It seems that rumors cant be trusted. Lin Shanchu keenly got wind of the rumors. Who spread rumors about me? She put on a straight face and looked like she was ready to fight with the rumormongers at any time, which made Miss Jiangugh out loud. Many people spread rumors about you. ..Am I the center of the world? Or is their life so boring that they have nothing to do but mess with me? Lin Shanchu knew that she had a lot of anti-fans online, but she did not expect that there would be so many idle people in real life trying to spread rumors about her. Miss Jiangughed even harder. You are more interesting than you are rumored to be. Lin Shanchu smiled and politelyplimented her, Youre more interesting than you look. Miss Jiang had strong execution ability. Shortly afterwards, she and Lin Shanchu caught half a bucket of baby crabs. After getting ashore, Miss Jiang leaned on her knees and stared at the baby crabs in the bucket with a frown. Whats wrong? Miss Jiang turned around and asked Lin Shanchu, How do I deep-fry the crabs? Lin Shanchu sized her up for two seconds before she replied, You dont know how to cook? Its not that I dont know Miss Jiang said hesitantly, I just dont have the time to learn cooking. Lin Shanchu was confused. What was the difference? Lin Shanchu had never made deep-fried crabs before, so she searched for the recipe on the Inte. After reading it twice, she started to cook. Miss Jiang watched from the sidelines the entire time. Wow! It smells so good! You really know how to cook! Youre so awesome! No wonder your fans love you so much Lin Shanchu gradually lost herself in Miss Jiangs praise. She gently brushed her hair behind her ear and said, Its just deep-frying a fried crab.. Cooking is a survival skill, but I dont know how to cook. Miss Jiang looked sincere as she said, Thats why I think youre very capable. Lin Shanchu epted herpliment and spoke, Have a taste. Miss Jiang replied, Alright. In the distance, Li MO stood behind Huo Xunzhou and looked at Lin Shanchu thoughtfully. How did Sister-inw get so close to Miss Jiang so quickly? He had known Lin Shanchu for so long, but he had never seen Lin Shanchu epting anyone on their first meeting. Its fine as long as shes happy, Huo Xunzhou said sourly as he watched Lin Shanchu feed Miss Jiang a fried crab. It did not matter whether he was happy or not. Anyway, she only cared about whether Miss Jiang liked to eat her fried crabs. Big Brother, why are you jealous of a woman? Li MO was puzzled. How do you know that I am jealous? Huo Xunzhou nced at Li MO expressionlessly. Li MO said, I heard it with both ears. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. On the other side, Lin Shanchus phone rang. When she saw the word Ming Yao on the screen, she gradually woke up from her daze. She almost forgot that she had not done what she promised Ming Yao. Lin Shanchu nced at Miss Jiang, who was deep-frying the fried crab until it was crispy, and wondered if she should betray her right away Chapter 371 - 371: Huo Xunzhou, How Old Are You This Year? Chapter 371 - 371: Huo Xunzhou, How Old Are You This Year? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu picked up the phone and heard Ming Yaos voice. Jiang Weizhu is the woman with Yun Yi today? It was almost impossible to conceal the intense anger in Ming Yaos tone. I dont know. Anyway, her surname is indeed Jiang. Until now, she still did not know Miss Jiangs name. Wen Huan previously said that she was from the Jiang family. Ming Yao,e over and have fun. Miss Jiangs voice suddenly came from behind. Lin Shanchu turned around with a puzzled expression and saw the gentle and dignified Miss Jiang smiling like a naughty elementary school student, looking arrogant and asking for a beating. Lin Shanchu was confused. She changed her attitude a little too fast, didnt she? Its Jiang Weizhu! I heard her voice! Ming Yao raised her voice, sounding a little agitated. Jiang Weizhu walked over, held Lin Shanchus hand and ced the phone in front of her before turning on the speaker. You can recognize my voice even after not seeing me for so long. Ming Yao, have you missed me for the past few years? Ming Yao sneered. I havent heard from you in the past few years. I thought you died overseas! Jiang Weizhu smiled and gritted her teeth. Thanks to you, I didnt die abroad and the overseas market is developing smoothly. Ming Yao shouted, Congrattions! Jiang Weizhu said, Thank you. Its all thanks to you that you fail to get together with Yun Yi after so many years. You gave me the opportunity to have a sessful marriage and career. Ming Yao cursed, F* ** Jiang Weizhu cursed, Bring it on, Ming Yao shouted, Ille now! Jiang Weizhu replied, Ill wait for you. Then, the two of them hung up at the same time. Lin Shanchu was shocked. She had met Ming Yao so many times. Ming Yao always had the image of an elite career woman and the same calm, convincing aura as Yun Yi. Lin Shanchus first impression of Jiang Weizhu was that she had the upbringing of a rich familys daughter. In the end, these two usually calm and elegant youngdies quarrelled over the phone like elementary school students! Lin Shanchu turned her head and saw the fuming Jiang Weizhu with her hands on her hips. Then, she silently moved to the side. Jiang Weizhu noticed Lin Shanchus movements and turned to look at her. The expression on her face froze for a moment, but she pretended that nothing had happened and smiled politely. Miss Lin, Im sorry to make a fool of myself. I havent seen Ming Yao for many years, so the two of us were a little excited in the conversation earlier. They were quite excited. Jiang Weizhu stared at Lin Shanchu for a moment before she asked, Arent you going to ask about Ming Yao and me? Lin Shanchu blinked as she replied, I want to know if you and Big Brother can get together. Jiang Weizhu was taken aback upon hearing those words, but then she immediately said with a smile, Im not here for a blind date with Yun Yi. Lin Shanchu tilted her head in confusion. I have a project that I want to cooperate with Yun Yi. Jiang Weizhu exined, Coincidentally, Grandpa Yun wanted to matchmake me and Yun Yi, so I came over. So youre here to talk about cooperation. She was youngdy who ran a business. Jiang Weizhu raised her eyebrows at Lin Shanchu and shouted, The main reason is that I can piss Ming Yao off! Lin Shanchu was speechless. After chatting with Jiang Weizhu, Lin Shanchu found out that Jiang Weizhu and Ming Yao were schoolmates. Since young, the two of them had always attended all the school activities together and there were always peopleparing the two of them. After all, the two of them walked different pathster. Ming Yao joined the fashion industry. Jiang Weizhu chose the family business and volunteered to go overseas to expand the market three years ago. They were simply a pair of enemies. It was no wonder that the two of them could carry out a round of intense greetings over the phone before they even met. While Jiang Weizhu was looking for Yun Yi, Lin Shanchu went to look for Huo Xunzhou with two tes of fried crabs. Sister-inw! Li MO was delighted to see Lin Shan at first. Huo Xunzhou threw a tantrum and refused to go to Lin Shanchus ce to eat fried crabs, nor did he allow Li MO to go there. Hence, Li MO was starved. Lin Shanchu handed one te of fried crabs to Li Mo. Thank you, Sister-inw. Li MO took the fried crab head and sat down at the dining table that had been set up beside him without looking back. Here, try it. Lin Shanchu handed a fried crab to Huo Xunzhou. After taking a nce at it, Huo Xunzhou said emotionlessly, Its too oily. Did he despise her fried crab? Something was wrong. How could Huo Xunzhou dislike her cooking? Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and sized Huo Xunzhou up for a moment before she snorted. Forget it, Ill give it to Big Brother. Before she could lift her foot, Huo Xunzhou grabbed her wrist. She followed his slender fingers and looked up. He stared at her silently and his handsome face looked aggrieved. Lin Shanchu finally realized something and brought a small crab to his lips. Huo Xunzhou ate it obediently. This grown man acted like a spoiled brat. Without a word, Huo Xunzhou reached out and took the small te from her hand before eating the crab himself. Lin Shanchu grabbed a chair beside her and sat down next to Huo Xunzhou. She rested her elbow on the armrest of Huo Xunzhous wheelchair and looked up at him. You deliberately asked Grandpa to call Jiang Weizhu over to go on a blind date with Big Brother, didnt you? I did. Do you know that Ming Yao and Jiang Weizhu are sworn enemies? I know. Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Xunzhou disliked fried food, so she did not put much on the small te before she came over. Huo Xunzhou finished eating quickly. He raised his hand slightly to show Lin Shanchu the oil stains on his fingers. Lin Shanchu took out a wet tissue to wipe his hands. Sheined, Youre so petty. Huo Xunzhou nodded meekly and said, Yeah. Lin Shanchu red at him. Not far away, Jiang Weizhu already handed the contract to Yun Yi. While Yun Yi was reading the contract, Jiang Weizhu was looking at Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu. Your cousin and his girlfriend are so affectionate. Vigorous love was not the norm in life. Love was always manifested in the most subtle things in life. Hearing her voice, Yun Yi raised his head and looked at them with a smile. Yeah. Jiang Weizhu turned to look at him and said, Yun Yi, the look on your face right now is the most rxed since this morning. Yun Yis expression instantly faded. Jiang Weizhu snorted. I heard that you havent dated any other women all these years. Why do you only have eyes for Ming Yao, just like you did when you were a teenager? Youre already in your thirties. Cant you progress a bit? Yun Yi asked expressionlessly, Are you sincerely discussing cooperation with me? Yes, I am. Jiang Weizhu nodded. Then, she changed the topic. Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Ming Yao said that she wasing to look for me. Yun Yi stopped reading the contract with a drastic change of expression. Then, he picked up a pen and signed his name with a few strokes. After signing his name, Yun Yi handed the contract to Jiang Weizhu. Its signed. You may leave now.. Chapter 372 - 372: Notorious People You Should Never Trifle With Chapter 372 - 372: Notorious People You Should Never Trifle With Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Jiang Weizhu was stunned for a moment before opening the contract to look at Yun Yis signature. After confirming that the signature was correct. Tiang Weizhu carefullv Dut away the contract. You didnt even read the contents of the contract carefully. Arent you afraid that Ill scam you? Were old friends. I believe you. Yun Yis expression became serious. Were old friends? Jiang Weizhu paused and said with a faint smile. Do you dare to say that in front of Ming Yao? Yun Yi frowned slightly and replied, Ming Yao has been in poor health for the past two years. Dont anger her all the time. Jiang Weizhu was silent for a moment. Then, she snorted. I dont care if shes in poor health or not. I just want to piss her off! Everyone knew that Ming Yao and Jiang Weizhu were sworn enemies. However, only Yun Yi knew that Ming Yao and Jiang Weizhu were not just sworn enemies. When Ming Yao rushed to the scene, Jiang Weizhu had already left. Yun Yi was waiting for her with a smile on his face. You are here. As Yun Yi spoke, he opened a bottle of water and handed it to her. Ming Yao took the bottle and drank two mouthfuls of water before asking angrily, Where is that Jiang Weizhu? Ming Yao reacted quickly and swallowed the word idiot that was about toe out of her mouth. Yun Yi did not exposed her. Instead, he looked at her gently and replied, She had something to do and left earlier. Ming Yao frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, she took out her phone and called Jiang Weizhu. The call went through in a second. Ming Yao asked, Idiot, are you scared? Jiang Weizhu replied, Trash, turn around. Ming Yao turned around. Jiang Weizhu strode towards her while holding the phone. Yun Yi reached out and pressed his throbbing temples, thinking that he was in deep trouble. While sizing up Ming Yao, Jiang Weizhu spoke, Why are you as skinny as a monkey? You have a part to y in the abnormal aesthetics of the fashion industry. Unwilling to be outdone, Ming Yao refuted, Why are you as dark as charcoal? If you dont use sunscreen properly, youll age fast! Lin Shanchu was holding a piece of watermelon and relishingly watching the drama unfold from the sidelines. In addition to Huo Xunzhou and Yun Yi, Wen Huans childhood friends had brought their femalepanions. However, they dared not to stop the fight, nor did they dare to watch the drama unfold. They just hid far away. After Lin Shanchu finished eating the watermelon, she wiped her hands and leaned over. Arent they just quarreling? What are you guys afraid of? A femalepanion smiled awkwardly and replied, You havent stayed in Capital City before. You might not know this, but these two sisters are notorious people you should never trifle with. Is that so? Lin Shanchu walked towards them suspiciously. She walked straight between the two of them. The few femalepanions around her gasped when they saw this. What are you doing? Jiang Weizhu and Ming Yao asked almost in unison. First, Lin Shanchu asked Ming Yao, Did you bring the ne? Ming Yao nced at Yun Yi and lowered her voice guiltily. Ive brought it. Ill give it to youter. Jiang Weizhu could not hear what the two of them were saying, so she raised her voice and said, You dont dare to let me hear you bad-mouthing me to Miss Lin, do you? Then, Lin Shanchu turned to look at Jiang Weizhu and said, I saw that they caught a lot of fish. How about I teach you how to make braised fish? After peeking at Ming Yao, Jiang Weizhu vigntly asked Lin Shanchu in a low voice, Do you think I can learn it? She looked sneaky as if she was afraid that Ming Yao would find out that she did not know how to cook. Lin Shanchu mimicked her and lowered her voice. Youre so smart, youll be able to learn it in no time for sure. Alright! Jiang Weizhu believed Lin Shanchu. Then, Jiang Weizhu and Ming Yao looked at each other from afar. After ring at each other, they turned back and left in the opposite direction. Ming Yao went to the car to get the ne. Jiang Weizhu went to get the fish. Lin Shanchu thought about it and decided to go get the ne first. When Ming Yao gave Lin Shanchu the ne, she seemed to have thought of something and took it back. What did you say to Jiang Weizhu? Lin Shanchu did not care what Ming Yao asked her, She only had eyes for the ne, so she went forward and took it from her. She opened the box and took a look. It was indeed beautiful. After thanking her, she turned around and went to look for Huo Xunzhou. Ming Yao stood there alone with aplicated expression, thinking that Lin Shanchu was probably a bandit. Isnt it beautiful? Lin Shanchu showed the ne to Huo Xunzhou. She showed the ne to Huo Xunzhou to prove that she was not easily bribed, but because the ne was too beautiful. Huo Xunzhou took a closer look and nodded. Lin Shanchu closed the box and stuffed it into his hand. Hold this for me. Ill go teach Miss Jiang how to cook fish. After Lin Shanchu left, Li MO thought he was smart enough to remind Huo Xunzhou. Big Brother, Sister-inw is hinting at you! Huo Xunzhou asked, What kind of hint? Li MO replied, Shes hinting at you to give her jewelry. Huo Xunzhou was lost in thought. Based on his understanding of Lin Shanchu, she did not seem to have a strong desire for jewelry. However, what Li MO said made sense. Ahhhh! It moved! The oil sshed out! Its so hot! Jiang Weizhu held the spat and circled the stove that had been set up temporarily, jumping and shouting. Lin Shanchus face darkened as she stood expressionlessly at the side with her arms crossed. She looked at Jiang Weizhu coldly without saying a word. She now understood why Jiang Weizhu thought that she was good at cooking. It was because Jiang Weizhu was totally a terrible cook. There was really that kind of person in this world who was capable and smart enough, but could not cook. The oil is sshing again! Jiang Weizhu jumped behind Lin Shanchu with a face full of fear. Lin Shanchu turned around expressionlessly and took the spat from Jiang Weizhu. She tidied up her clothes and cleared her throat to conceal her reaction. I I m just a little afraid of the heat. Lin Shanchu pulled Jiang Weizhu to the side and ced a hand on her shoulder, pressing her down on the chair. Finally, Lin Shanchu solemnly said to her, Miss Jiang, a talent like you doesnt need to spend time on cooking! You should be sitting in the office and making a lot of money by giving orders! Jiang Weizhu felt that something was wrong. However, Lin Shanchus tone was too solemn and convincing. Really? Really. Lin Shanchu nodded vigorously. Jiang Weizhuughed. Then Ill sit here and watch you cook. Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. When Ming Yao came over, she saw Jiang Weizhu sitting upright like an elementary school student, watching Lin Shanchu cook. I heard that youve be a self-taught master chef when you were abroad all these years. Ming Yao smiled and mocked her. Master Chef, why dont you go and help Miss Lin? Jiang Weizhu raised her chin proudly and said, Miss Lin said that a talent like me dont need to spend time on cooking. Ming Yao said with a smile, So you havent learned how to cook in all these years. Jiang Weizhu was speechless.. Chapter 373 - 373: I Wish Him to Find Someone Good Soon After Breaking Up Chapter 373 - 373: I Wish Him to Find Someone Good Soon After Breaking Up Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ming Yaos spection was undoubtedly confirmed by Jiang Weizhus silence. I knew you were bragging. Ming Yao was quite proud after turning the table. She sat down beside Jiang Weizhu. Jiang Weizhu expressionlessly moved her chair to the side, as if she wanted to ignore Ming Yao. Lin Shanchu looked at them curiously. Ming Yao proudly exined to Lin Shanchu, Auntie Jiang is a master chef, but her daughter is a terrible cook who cant get the hang of it anyhow. Jiang Weizhu replied anxiously, Ming Yao, you are unreasonable. How could you expose me in front of Miss Lin? Ming Yao looked even more smug as she said, I just told her the truth when I saw that she was a little curious about your situation. Jiang Weizhu snorted. I think shes more curious about you and Yun Yi. Ming Yaos expression changed slightly. Ill stop talking. You shut up too. The two of them finally quieted down. Lin Shanchu looked at Ming Yao thoughtfully. Ming Yao was easily under control at the mention of Yun Yi. Yun Yi was really amazing. In the evening, Qi Cheng called to urge Lin Shanchu to go back because she had to enter tne rum set at mgnt. Lin Shanchu was reluctant to leave because she saw Yun Yi pulling Ming Yao into the woods. She wanted to know what the two of them were doing. Huo Xunzhou saw through her thoughts at a nce and looked at her with a faint smile. Ill take you back. Lin Shanchu left with Huo Xunzhou as she looked back from time to time. When they arrived downstairs, Li MO parked the car and got out of the car to smoke, giving them some space. I might be busy for a while. After you enter the film set, you can contact Big Brother if you need anything. If its a minor matter, you can contact Wen Huan or someone else you trust for help. Huo Xunzhou held her hand and instructed her patiently. After a moment of silence, Lin Shanchu asked, Where are you going? If Huo Xunzhou was just busy, he would not have told Lin Shanchu to ask someone else for help. It could only mean that Huo Xunzhou would not be in Capital City for some time in the future. I have some businesses overseas and need to check the ounts. Im not sure when Ill be back. Oh. Silence filled the car. Huo Xunzhou stared at her. Lin Shanchu blinked as she said, If theres nothing else, Ill get out of the car. Huo Xunzhou chuckled, Stay a little longer. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and asked, You cant bear to part with Its good that you know. Huo Xunzhou held her hand and pulled her into his arms. He did not expect her to show any reluctance to part with him. He was already satisfied that she could sense his feelings. Lin Shanchu hugged him and patted his back, trying tofort him. You dont have to miss me too much. Its just that you wont be able to see me for a while. Its not like we wont meet again. She could feel Huo Xunzhou holding her tighter. A few secondster, Huo Xunzhou let go of her and opened the car door. You should go. Lin Shanchu reached out to hold the car door, propped herself up and prepared to get out of the car. As if she thought of something, she turned around and leaned over to Huo Xunzhou to kiss him on the lips. Huo Xunzhous eyes shed with a gentle joy. Shanshan, you cant bear to part with me? Lin Shanchu responded to him by mming the car door and leaving mercilessly. Li MO, who was smoking outside the car, watched Lin Shanchu enter the building before he put out his cigarette and got into the car. Huo Xunzhou was still looking in the direction Lin Shanchu left through the window. Even though Lin Shanchu had already disappeared from the building, Li MO was sensible enough not to urge Huo Xunzhou. Lets go, Huo Xunzhou said after a while. Qi Cheng and He Xiang had done packing their things. Lin Shanchu went out all day long. After she went home, she took a shower, changed her clothes and set off refreshed. The bodyguards continued to follow her. In the car, Qi Cheng flipped through the itinerary. Suddenly, he looked up and asked Lin Shanchu, Will President Huo being to the opening ceremony tomorrow? Lin Shanchu replied, No, hes very busy. Qi Cheng frowned slightly. He Xiang asked, It wont be a big problem if Teacher Huo doesnt attend the opening ceremony, right? Qi Cheng exined, Im just afraid that someone will use this as an excuse to make a fuss that theres a rtionship problem between Shanshan and President Huo. Lin Shanchu snorted. My rtionship with Huo Xunzhou is a matter between the two of us. What others say is none of my business. Qi Cheng smiled helplessly. As long as youre able to ept it, thats fine. Just as Qi Cheng expected, after the opening ceremony the next day, many marketing ounts and media outlets began to make a big fuss about Huo Xunzhou not attending Lin Shanchus opening ceremony. The hashtag #HuoXunzhouAbsentAtTheOpeningCeremonyofLinShanchusNewDrama was trending. This trending topic topped the entertainment rankings for a day. When she tapped on the hastag, it was all nders led by the marketing ounts. [Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus rtionship is suspected to have changed] [Can this rtionship withstand the trial due to the huge difference in their family backgrounds?] It was obvious that someone had deliberately bought this trending topic to target Lin Shanchu. Theizens were surprisingly tolerant of Lin Shanchu. Some of her bold actions and statements were tolerated by theizens. She had not made any mistakes of principle and the other party really could not dig any dirt on her, so they could only keep an eye on the rtionship between her and Huo Xunzhou. After Lin Shanchu dered her rtionship with Huo Xunzhou, her value had indeed risen a little. The anti-fans gritted their teeth in rage and even formed a fan page to curse Lin Shanchu to be abandoned by Huo Xunzhou as soon as possible. Lin Shanchu scrolled through a few pages of Weibo posts containing nders by the marketing ounts, and she almost believed that she and Huo Xunzhou had broken up. The marketing ounts were quite powerful. Lin Shanchu continued to scroll and saw aizens Weibo post: Mountain Breeze: [#HuoXunzhouAndLin ShanchusRtionshipIsSuspectedtoHaveChanged, its too good to be true.] Sister Rabbit On My Bed: [#HuoXunzhouAndLinShanchusRtionshipIsSuspectedtoHaveChanged, Best Actor Huo is a good guy. I wish him to find someone good soon after breaking up.] Lin Shanchu was confused. This profile picture with the username Sister Rabbit On My Bed was a photo of Lin Shanchu. It seemed like theizen was her fan. Normally, when fans encountered their idol being ndered, they should have defended her withments like [wait for Sisters direct response] and [dont spread rumors]. However, why did her fans look like they were eager for her to break up? Lin Shanchu tapped into her fan page. She realized that the number of posts today was several times more than yesterday. [Best Actor Huo is a good guy. I wish him to find someone good soon after breaking up.] Lin Shanchu felt numb. What was wrong with her fans? In the past, she was not quite convinced when theizensmented that her fans were as crazy as her. She felt that her fans was being implicated by her at that time. Now, it seemed that theizens had not wronged them at all. At this moment, He Xiangs voice came from outside. Sister Lin, theres a delivery for you. The courier asked you to sign for it personally.. Chapter 374 - 374: Bought Them With A Loan Chapter 374 - 374: Bought Them With A Loan Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Lin Shanchu went out, the courier was sitting on a chair waiting for her with a parcel in his arms. The courier stood up as soon as he saw hering out. Miss Lin, your parcel is here. Please sign for it. Lin Shanchu lowered her head and saw the words Intra City Express on the parcel. The packaging of the parcel was extraordinary with a brand logo printed on it. The logo looked familiar. It seemed to be from a certain jewelry brand. Lin Shanchu looked down and saw a familiar name. The sender was Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment. After signing her name, she opened the parcel impatiently. There was a sparkling diamond ne in the parcel box. It was a little simr to the one Ming Yao gave her. However, Lin Shanchu felt that it was prettier than the one Ming Yao gave her. Lin Shanchu carefully put the ne back and happily returned to the lounge with the box. Then, she took a photo and sent it to Huo Xunzhou on WeChat. Lin Shanchu: [ [photo] Thank you, Brother Xunzhou. [shy.jpg]] She waited for a while, but Huo Xunzhou did not reply to her. She remembered that there was a time difference overseas. It seemed to bete at night on Huo Xunzhous side at the moment. Lin Shanchu exited WeChat and turned on Weibo. Actress Lin ShanchuV: [ [photo][photo]] Two photos about the sender Huo Xunzhou and the ne were attached respectively. As soon as she posted the photos on Weibo, thements section of her post was flooded. Fansmented: [They didnt break up?] [I cant believe they didnt break up?] [I was happy for nothing!] Other shippersmented: [I shook off the dust on the g of ChuSheng ship and put it back.] [Since were here, we still have to carry the banner of LinYun ship and show it off.] Theizensmented: [Intra City Express?

No wonder he didnt attend the opening ceremony of Lin Shanchus new drama.] [I think that Best Actor Huo cares about Lin Shanchu very much. He finally got his girlfriend, so how could he break up with her so easily?] [With Best Actor Huos personality, it feels like hes rushing to get married. Those who want to see the two of them break up should just give up.] [I cant stopughing. Other fans are going around trying to clear their idols name, but Lin Shanchus fans are hoping that the rumors wille true.] [The wronged female celebrity and her fans, hahahaha!] Lin Shanchu liked thement. She also felt that her fans were indeed ridiculous. Thement that Lin Shanchu liked was quickly pushed to the top, and manyizens came to join in the fun. [The wronged female celebrity strongly agreed.] [The tour group came to see Lin Shanchu like thement.] [As everyone knows, Lin Shanchus fans are her biggest anti-fans.] A group of Lin Shanchus fansmented: [Sister, please listen to us. We love you.] Lin Shanchu replied: [Heh.] Netizen: [I never get tired of watching the love-hate rtionship between the celebrities and their fans.] The next day, Lin Shanchus fans bought thergest advertising disy screen in Capital City to promote her. Lin Shanchu, as the person involved, was thest to know about this incident. She surfed Weibo as usual and came across a marketing ounts Weibo post. [The fans of the wronged celebrity bought her a big screen to apologize [picture][picture]] Wen Huan, who had not been open for business for a long time, also used his media ount, Entertainer Huan, to post about the incident on Weibo. Lin Shanchu reposted Wen Huans Weibo post with a question mark. When her fans saw the Weibo post that she had reposted, they came forward to ask for praise. [Sister, are you satisfied with what you see?] [Can you forgive us now?] Lin Shanchu replied: [Its not like I cant afford it.] Fans: Lin Shanchu, who had managed to turn the tables, exited the Weibo for lunch break while feeling refreshed. After half an hour of lunch break, she would continue filming. When Lin Shanchu was touching up her makeup after the lunch break, He Xiang came in with a courier. Sister Lin, theres a parcel for you. Lin Shanchu was a little confused. Why was there another parcel for her? I didnt buy anything. Coincidentally, it was the same courier from yesterday. Miss Lin, please sign for the parcel that Mr. Huo Xunzhou sent you. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Huo Xunzhou again? Lin Shanchu got up and walked over to take a look. Then, she saw the logo of a certain jewelry brand was on the parcel box. This brand was even more expensive than the one from yesterday. Even the cheapest jewelry cost seven figures. After Lin Shanchu signed for it, she did not take a photo and send Huo Xunzhou a WeChat message like yesterday. Instead, she called Huo Xunzhou directly. Li MO answered the call. Sister-inw, Big Brother is busy right now and doesnt have time to answer the phone. If you have anything to say, tell me in advance. Ill help you pass the message to himter. Lin Shanchu fell silent for a moment before she said, Tell him to call me back when hes done. Li MO replied, Alright. Lin Shanchu did not receive a call from Huo Xunzhou even after work. On the third day, the fourth day she received jewelry from Huo Xunzhou every day for a week. Sometimes it was a diamond ne, sometimes it was a hair clip, sometimes it was a brooch, sometimes it was a bracelet Moreover, it was getting more and more expensive each time. Lin Shanchu did a rough calction and estimated that these things cost than ten million yuan in total. She was well aware of Huo Xunzhous financial situation. She suspected that Huo Xunzhou had taken out a loan to buy the jewelry for her. As for why he did that, she guessed that it was because she had provoked him by epting the ne that Ming Yao had given her. That was why Huo Xunzhou had been giving her jewelry like a lunatic. However, he was out of the country now and she could not contact him, so she could not stop him from going crazy. Thinking about it, Lin Shanchu called Yun Yi. Big Brother, can you contact Huo Xunzhou? We talked on the phone yesterday. Lin Shanchu frowned. Yun Yi managed to contact Huo Xunzhou, but she could not reach him. Lin Shanchu did not reply for a long time. Then, Yun Yi asked her concernedly, Did something happen? Lin Shanchu chuckled. Its nothing. I just wanted to tell him that he doesnt have to give me jewelry every day. I cant wear so many of them. Ill tell him. Yun Yi asked with a smile, Hows the filming going? Yun Wu said that shell be back in Capital City for an event soon, so she cane and visit you at work. Sure, It had been a long time since she had seen Yun Wu. After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchus excited expression faded and she stared at a certain spot thoughtfully. Did Huo Xunzhou not contact her on purpose? It seemed like he was hiding something from her again. However, it did not matter. Everyone had their own unspeakable secrets. In the following days, Lin Shanchu still received jewelry from Huo Xunzhou every day. She did not try to contact Huo Xunzhou again. Qi Cheng left after apanying her at the film set for a week, leaving He Xiang behind to take care of her. There was a driving school next to Film City. Lin Shanchu went to learn driving every day after work. After learning driving, she went to the gym to pump iron. Therefore, her days were extremely fulfilling. If it were not for the jewelry that Huo Xunzhou gave her every day, Lin Shanchu probably would not have remembered that she had a boyfriend. Gradually, the rest of the crew was influenced by Lin Shanchu. After work, they would team up with Lin Shanchu to pumd iron.. Chapter 375 - 375: Creating a Sense of Existence Chapter 375 - 375: Creating a Sense of Existence Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu happened to be taking the crew to the gym to pump iron on the day Yun Yi and Yun Wu came to visit her at work. The entire gym was filled with Lin Shanchus crew from the actors to the staff. Almost the entire gym was booked by them. Yun Wu saw Lin Shanchu doing weighted squats at a nce. Lin Shanchu had obviously been practicing for a long time. She looked a little weak and her waist was a little wobbly.
Seeing this, Yun Wu walked up and held her waist to lend her some strength. Lin Shanchu looked up and called out in surprise, Yun Wu? Is this thest set? Yun Wu asked her, How many more? Five more. Lin Shanchu nodded. Yun Wu assisted her in the remaining few weighted squats. Yun Yi stood quietly at the side as the crew greeted him. After chatting for a while, the crew looked at Lin Shanchu and said emotionally, Sister Lin is an overachiever. Shees to the gym whenever she has time. I didnt want toe at first, but since everyone is here, I followed them There was a hint ofint in his tone. Yun Yi said casually, I heard from Xunzhou that Shanshan was in poor health previously, so she probably wanted to work out and improve her stamina. The man nodded. I see. The man chatted with Yun Yi for a while before continuing to work out. Seeing that Lin Shanchu was almost done with her five squats, Yun Yi suddenly remembered something and sent a photo to Huo Xunzhou. Yun Yi: [I heard that Shanshan woulde to the gym to pump iron whenever shes free at the film set. Her muscle lines are almost visible. After another few months of training, it should hurt badly when she hits people, right? [photo]] Huo Xunzhou replied instantly: [Shanshan is very gentle.] Yun Yi: [How long has it been since youst contacted her?] Huo Xunzhou: Seeing that Huo Xunzhou had nothing to say, Yun Yi triumphantly exited WeChat and pressed the lock screen button. On the other side, Lin Shanchu had already finished her training. Yun Wu walked over to help Lin Shanchu rx her muscles. Yun Wu was a professional dancer and excelled at massage. As she slowly massaged upward along the base of Lin Shanchus calf. Lin Shanchu, who was lying on the cushion, gasped in pain. Yun Wu, am I not your beloved sister? Why are you massaging me so hard? Rx a little more thoroughly. Only then will you be able to relieve the soreness in your muscles tomorrow. Yun Wu was unequivocal when it came to serious matters and did not show any mercy because of Lin Shanchus words. He Xiang was taking pictures crazily at the side. LinYun ship was the best! At night, Lin Shanchu ate three bowls of rice. Her appetite shocked Yun Wu. She had not seen Lin Shanchu for a month or two, but she already had such a big appetite? He Xiang exined, Sister Lin consumes a lot of energy every day. The energy consumption was great, so she had to eat more. Yun Wu nodded understandingly. After dinner, Lin Shanchu apanied Yun Wu out for a stroll. There was not much to shop in Film City and the things for sale were mediocre, but still Lin Shanchu bought a lot of gadgets for Yun Wu. After returning to the hotel, Lin Shanchu went to take a shower while Yun Wu was lying on the sofa and ying on her phone. She sent Huo Xunzhou WeChat messages to report Lin Shanchus condition. Yun Wu: [Third Brother, Shanshan is in a good condition now. She feels much better. She can even do a few sets of weighted squats.] Yun Wu: [Oh right, she ate three bowls of rice tonight.] Yun Wu: [She doesnt seem to miss you at all.] After a while, Huo Xunzhou replied to her messages. Huo Xunzhou: [Just send thest message next time. Dont beat around the bush.] Yun Wu, whose intentions had been seen through, panicked for a second before calming down. Anyway, while the cats away the mice would y. Huo Xunzhou could not deal with her now. Yun Wu: [Okay.] Huo Xunzhou ignored Yun Wu. After a short while, Lin Shanchus phone rang. Lin Shanchu happened to walk out of the bathroom after taking a shower. Lin Shanchus phone was ced on the table. Yun Wu leaned over to take a look, but then she immediately shrank away and said vigntly to Lin Shanchu, Its a call from Third Brother! Judging from Yun Wus expression, Lin Shanchu could tell at a nce that she must have provoked Huo Xunzhou again. Yun Wu was clearly afraid of Huo Xunzhou, yet she still wanted to provoke him. This was probably what people meant by being a yful noob. Lin Shanchu held the phone in front of her and answered the call right before it automatically hung up. When Yun Wu saw that Lin Shanchu had picked up the call, she quickly ran into the bathroom with a guilty conscience. Hello? There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before a familiar voice sounded. Did Big Brother and Yun Wue to visit you at work today? Yeah, Big Brother left after dinner. Yun Wus going to stay here for two days. Ill rush back to attend your wrap party. Oh. Lin Shanchu yawned sleepily. Huo Xunzhou heard it. Rest early. Alright, Ill hang up then. Huo Xunzhou was a little upset. Just as Yun Wu said, she did not miss him at all. Fortunately, he had thought of this in advance and had people send jewelry to ner every aay so tnat ne could create a sense or existence wnen ne was not DY her side. Huo Xunzhou sighed silently. Good night. Good night. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone after saying that. In the following days, Lin Shanchu still received jewelry from Huo Xunzhous men every day. It was the same courier every time. Not to mention Lin Shanchu, even the courier felt numb from delivering the parcels. Every time he came to deliver a parcel, he wondered if this was what a rich person looked like. Lin Shanchu made space in the hotel room to store the parcels. While helping her organize the parcels, He Xiang eximed, Sister Lin, Teacher Huo is too generous. Lin Shanchu said calmly, He bought them with a loan. He Xiang was speechless. In tha case, Mr. Huo was the first person to pursue his girlfriend until he went bankrupt? Four months passed in the blink of an eye. Many of the supporting roles in the production team had finished filming. Lin Shanchu only had three scenes left, and the wrap party would be held right after the filming. Thest scene could only be filmed on rainy days. It was an important scene and artificial rain would affect the effect. Therefore, the production team decided to wait for the rain. The weather forecast was inurate. It was not until the morning of the fourth day that Lin Shanchu woke up and opened the window to see the gloomy sky. Everyone in the crew was overjoyed. [Its going to rain!] [It feels like its going to be heavy rain!] [Hurry up and get up! Its time to start work!] Lin Shanchu sent a message: [Iming.] Everyone was excited. Everyone brought their breakfast to the filming location. As soon as it rained, they would start filming. This rain fell at the right time. It only started to rain after everyone had breakfast. This rain scene was about the copse of the protagonists faith. When the director shouted cut, Lin Shanchu sat on the ground motionless. He Xiang ran over with an umbre and a towel. The drama was filmed from early autumn tote winter. He Xiang was worried that Lin Shanchu would catch a cold as she was soaked to the bone out in the cold rain. Sister Lin, get up quickly. We have to hurry back and take a shower.. Chapter 376 - 376: Walking Towards Her in the Pouring Rain Chapter 376 - 376: Walking Towards Her in the Pouring Rain Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu did not move. After two seconds, she waved her hand, indicating that she needed to rest. This scene consumed a lot of her emotions, and she still had not recovered from it. He Xiang looked at her worriedly. Just as she was about to say something, she saw someone walking towards her. Teach Teacher Huo? Lin Shanchu raised her head slowly.
A tall man was holding an umbre as he walked towards her in the pouring rain. The others around her looked surprised when they noticed Huo Xunzhou. The sound of discussion was drowned out by the rain. He Xiang was also stunned on the spot. It had only been a few months since theyst met, but Huo Xunzhous legs were now fine? Huo Xunzhou took the towel from He Xiangs hands, knelt down in front of Lin Shanchu and stuffed the umbre in his hand into hers. Lin Shanchu subconsciously took the umbre. After that, Huo Xunzhou wrapped the towel around her and picked her up from the ground. Lin Shanchu jolted due to inertia and the umbre in her hand also swayed. Huo Xunzhou looked straight ahead and slowly walked forward. His gentle voice, which was mixed with the sound of the rain, sounded a little surreal. Hold the umbre firmly. Oh, Lin Shanchu replied slowly beforeing to her senses. She looked away from his profile and looked up at the top of the umbre, holding it seriously. The long-handled umbre had a good texture and was a little heavy. She had to hold it tightly with both hands to hold it firmly. The director jogged over when he saw the two of them approaching him. President Huo? Huo Xunzhou turned to the director and nodded slightly. Then, he said, Ill take Shanshan back to the hotel first. The director hurriedly nodded his head and even reminded him repeatedly, Okay, okay, okay. You guys may go back first. Remember to take some cold medicine. He Xiang has it. He Xiang hurried over and greeted the director. Director, well be leaving now. Go ahead. Dont forget to give Sister Lin some cold medicine. Alright! Seeing the group of people walk away, the other staff members gathered around the director. Its really Best Actor Huo! I was wondering why he didnte to visit Lin Shanchu at work after such a long time. It turned out that he went to treat his legs. But Didnt he say that his legs were incurable? How could they be cured in four months? What kind of medical miracle is this? Modern medicine advances quickly. Isnt it normal that people who couldnt be cured a year ago can be cured a yearter? .Really? Perhaps its the power of love He Xiang trotted after them and took the lead to open the car door. Then, she took the umbre from Lin Shanchu and asked Huo Xunzhou to put her in the car. Seeing that the two of them had gotten into the car, He Xiang hurriedly closed the door and went to the drivers seat to start driving. Lin Shanchu leaned against the corner and pulled the towel over her body, staring at Huo Xunzhou without blinking. Huo Xunzhou turned around and met her gaze before he asked with augh, Why are you looking at me like that? Just as Lin Shanchu was about to say something, she nced at He Xiang in the drivers seat. Then, she quickly bit her tongue and beckoned Huo Xunzhou toe closer. Huo Xunzhous heart skipped a beat as he leaned over. Lin Shanchu raised her head slightly and whispered into his ear. Her voice was so soft that it sounded like she was breathing. Did you take out a loan to send me jewelry every day? There was a hint of curiosity in her serious tone. After she finished speaking, she tilted her head to look at his face and waited for his answer. Huo Xunzhou, on the other hand, remained motionless like a statue, as if he had beenpletely sealed. Lin Shanchu blinked. Did she say it too directly and hurt his self-esteem? Although Huo Xunzhou was a man of dignified bearing, he had strong self-esteem. She asked Huo Xunzhou in a lowered voice just now because she considered his self-esteem and wanted to prevent He Xiang from hearing her. She did not expect that it would hurt his self-esteem. After about ten seconds, Huo Xunzhou finally responded. Do you think so? He slightly narrowed his charming eyes with aplicated look on his face. Lin Shanchu could not see through his current emotions. Lin Shanchu hesitated. She did not know if she should tell the truth or lie to protect his self-esteem. But what kind of person was Huo Xunzhou? He knew what Lin Shanchu was thinking just by looking at her expression. Huo Xunzhou took a deep breath and tried his best to sound calm. I understand. They had not seen each other for four months and rarely contacted each other. He did not expect Lin Shanchu to throw herself into his arms and say that she missed him when they met again. However, he did not expect that Lin Shanchu would ask him if he had bought the jewelry with a loan the moment she met him.. Huo Xunzhou let out a long sigh and turned to look at the rain outside the window. Then, he asked He Xiang, How much longer until we reach the hotel? Its just ahead. Huo Xunzhou followed He Xiangs gaze and saw a hotel not far away. Lin Shanchu was drenched and needed to hurry back to take a hot shower. When Lin Shanchu saw that Huo Xunzhou had stopped talking, she tightened the towel around her and moved closer to Huo Xunzhou, not letting her wet clothes touch him. Why did you suddenly cure your legs? Lin Shanchu kept her voice low. After all, the condition of Huo Xunzhous legs was a secret. I just felt like treating them. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly when he saw water dripping down her hair. Then, he reached out to run his fingers through her hair. Insatiably greedy, Lin Shanchu hugged his arm and squeezed into his embrace. Huo Xunzhou let her squeeze into his arms without saying a word or moving. Lin Shanchu asked, Why do you look upset? Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow and said expressionlessly, No, Im so happy right now. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She really could not tell it at all. At this moment, Lin Shanchu felt something hard pressing against her head. No, Huo Xunzhou said without batting an eyelid. Obviously yes. Lin Shanchu said as she reached into his suit cor. The man who denied it earlier tried to stop her by holding her hand firmly. Of course, Lin Shanchu would not give up so easily. She tried to break free from his grip. She had been pumping iron for the past few months. When she exerted strength in her palms, her slender forearms showed beautiful muscle lines. Huo Xunzhou stared at her arm for a moment and curled his lip slightly. He could tell that she had been pumping iron seriously in the past few months and her strength had increased a lot. Lin Shanchu pouted unwillingly as she noticed that she could not break free from his grip. If you are not hiding anything, so be it. At this moment, the car stopped. Were here. He Xiang looked back at them before she got out of the car to open the door for them and hold the umbre. When Lin Shanchu got out of the car, she reached out to Huo Xunzhou as if she was asking for a hug. Huo Xunzhous eyes softened as he bent over to carry her out of the car. He felt that Lin Shanchu still missed him very much.. Chapter 377 - 377: 1 Do Chapter 377 - 377: 1 Do Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion On the way, Lin Shanchu chatted with Huo Xunzhou. She asked, You just came back today? Huo Xunzhou replied, Yeah. Lin Shanchu asked thoughtfully, You didnte directly from the airport, did you? Huo Xunzhou snorted angrily. What else could it be? His tone sounded a little resentful.
The airport was a few hours drive away from Film City. He traveled all the way home by ne for more than ten hours. Without a break, he sat in the car for another few hours to meet her. He really wanted to meet her. Lin Shanchu finally realized the reason why he was unhappy along the way. Hooked her arms around Huo Xunzhous neck, she said softly, I missed you so much. Huo Xunzhou knew that she was pretending to be obedient, but he couldnt help but smile. Hmm. The word hmm could be directly tranted as me too. Lin Shanchu saw his expression softened. When he was not paying attention, she reached into the cor of his suit and took out the small box from the inner pucKe?L. Lin Shanchu! Huo Xunzhou suddenly stopped in his tracks. They reached the entrance to the room at this moment. Lin Shanchu reacted quickly and broke free from his embrace. She cautiously ran a few steps forward. After she was a safe distance away from Huo Xunzhou, she raised the box in her hand and asked him, Is this for today? In the past four months, she received all kinds of jewelry from Huo Xunzhou every day. She had not received the jewelry for today. Huo Xunzhou must have nned to give it to her personally. Huo Xunzhous expression became a little strange. He seemed angry yet helpless. Lin Shanchu frowned slightly and opened the box. She was stunned after taking a nce at it. She looked confusedly at Huo Xunzhou and asked, Why is it a ring? In the past few months, she only received jewelry like bracelets, nes, hair clips, earrings and so on. She had never received a ring. She recalled when she asked Huo Xunzhou earlier if he was hiding something on his body. She vaguely understood something while thinking of his denial look. Looking at Huo Xunzhou, she said seriously, I do. He Xiang was dumbfounded from the sidelines. Huo Xunzhou did not even say anything, but why did Lin Shanchu say I do? Huo Xunzhous reaction was no better than He Xiangs. After a while, he walked towards Lin Shanchu as if he hade to his senses. Silly girl, who would say I do without waiting for her boyfriend to speak? he spoke in a helpless yet loving tone and smiled gently as he took the box containing the ring from Lin Shanchus hand. Lin Shanchu exined, Didnt I ruin your proposal? When she guessed that Huo Xunzhou had hidden the ring to propose to her, she was not surprised at all. After all, Huo Xunzhou had mentioned marriage many times. Based on her understanding of Huo Xunzhou, he probably had nned to make some preparations before proposing to her, but she discovered the ring in advance. When she took out the ring, he was still a little angry. He must have been concerned about the proposal. There was no other way. She could only take the initiative to agree quickly aspensation. Lin Shanchu stretched out her hand and raised her ring finger, looking eager. Brother Xunzhou, put it on for me. Huo Xunzhous heart skipped a beat. He knelt on one knee with a serious expression and took out the ring to look up at her. Shanshan Im willing to marry you. Well support each other through life and death. Ill never change my mind for the rest of my life. Lin Shanchu spoke quickly, sounding urgent. She said all of Huo Xunzhous words, and he did not even have a chance to show off. Huo Xunzhou did not get angry and said with a smile, Me too. He Xiang sighed from the sidelines. Was Lin Shanchu allergic to romance? She had to give Huo Xunzhou a chance to show off no matter what, right? Huo Xunzhou put the ring on Lin Shanchus finger seriously. He Xiang! Wheres the key card? Hurry up and open the door! I want to take a bath! Its so cold! Oh! Iming! He Xiang quickly took out the room card and opened the door. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. It turned out Lin Shanchu eagerly asked him to put on the ring for her just now because it was too cold and she wanted to quickly end the conversation so that she could enter the house to take a shower? When Lin Shanchu came out of the shower and get changed, Huo Xunzhous phone rang. The call was from Li Mo. Big Brother, the proposal nningpany called and said that they want to discuss the details. Is there anything else you want No need. Huh? Whats wrong? Arent you going to propose? Why? Didnt you already buy the ring? Or did you get dumped? Li MO was about to cry. How could the couple that he shipped not get married? Huo Xunzhou said furiously, Youre the one who got dumped! Li MO replied, I dont have a girlfriend. Huo Xunzhou hung up the phone in rage. Lin Shanchu, who had been listening for a long time, walked over and hugged him. Whose call made you so angry? Li Mo. Huo Xunzhous expression eased a little. Lin Shanchu then remembered that she had not seen Li Mo. Why didnt hee with you? He went to do something else. Huo Xunzhou stroked Lin Shanchus wet hair and pulled her to the side to sit down. He then went to the bathroom to get a hairdryer to dry her hair. In the evening, the crew arranged a wrap party. Huo Xunzhou apanied Lin Shanchu to the banquet hall for the wrap party. The rain outside showed no signs of stopping. Qi Cheng wanted to pick her up at Film City at first, but the rain was too heavy. Hence, he called her and said that he would pick her up tomorrow. Huo Xunzhous fans in the crew came forward to take photos with him. President Huo is back? Qi Cheng asked when he vaguely recognized Huo Xunzhous voice. Yes, he just came today. Then I wont being tomorrow. Now that Huo Xunzhou was back, there was nothing for him to do. During dinner, Huo Xunzhou remembered Yun Yi saying that Lin Shanchu was learning how to drive apart from pumping iron. Have you gotten your drivers license? Not yet. I was very busy with the filming afterwards, so I didnt have time to practice driving. Lin Shanchu lowered her head so that her expression was unable to be seen. There were many people in the banquet hall and it was noisy. No one else noticed the conversation between Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou, but He Xiang, who was sitting next to Lin Shanchu, heard it. Didnt Lin Shanchu get her drivers license at the end ofst month? Why didnt she tell Huo Xunzhou the truth? He Xiang, try this. I think its delicious. Lin Shanchu picked up some food and ced it in He Xiangs te. She gave her a look from an angle where Huo Xunzhou could not see. After spending so much time with Xiang and Lin Shanchu, they had the tacit understanding. He Xiang nodded lightly to show that she understood her intention. Lin Shanchu always had her own reasons for doing things. She just had to keep Lin Shanchus secret. The person next to Huo Xunzhou struck up a conversation with him, so he did not notice the interaction between Lin Shanchu and He Xiang. When he turned around, he saw Lin Shanchu focused on eating her meal. Ill take you to practice driving in two days. She had just finished filming her drama and needed to rest for a few days. Okay, Lin Shanchu replied obediently. He Xiang wondered if Lin Shanchu was after the driving practice with Huo Xunzhou.. Chapter 378 - 378: For Today Chapter 378 - 378: For Today Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The two of them returned to the city the next day. Only then did Yun Yi find out that Huo Xunzhou hade back. On that night, Yun Yi held a banquet at Boya Hotel and invited Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu to dinner. The two elders of the Yun family also attended the banquet. Yun Yi was the first to notice the ring on Lin Shanchus finger. Big Brother, does it look nice? Lin Shanchu generously showed the ring to
Yun Yi. Yun Yi nced at Huo Xunzhou and smiled. Its just an ordinary ring, but it looks good on you. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhous expression and burst outughing. Only then did the old couple of the Yun family notice the ring on Lin Shanchus finger. Everyone in the Yun family was smart. Seeing that the two people involved did not say anything, they did not take the initiative to ask the question. Shanshan, your fingers are beautiful, The olddy praised Lin Shanchu with a smile. Youll look good wearing any ring. The old man echoed, Thats right. Lin Shanchu was delighted after being praised. Then, she turned around and smiled ostentatiously at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou suddenly held her hand and said solemnly, I proposed to Shanshan, and she agreed. Yun Yi said, Congrattions. The old couple of the Yun family grinned from ear to ear. Good thingse in pairs. Yeah, Xunzhous legs are healed too and you two are nning to get married. Thats great. When are you guys nning to hold the wedding? We can help you prepare in advance. Everyone was puzzled. Lin Shanchus parents had passed away a long time ago. Who else was there in her family? Lin Shanchu exined, I still have an uncle who has been overseas all these years. Her uncle had been abroad over the years and was busy with work. In addition to the time difference, she contacted him via email most of the time. She would send emails to him regrly to update him on her current situation. Lin Shanchu had be busier this year and sent fewer emails. When she had time, she would directly send Lin Suguang WeChat messages. However, Lin Shanchu had not contacted Lin Suguang for a while. It was because he had gone to the primeval forest to collect local cultural materials. In the beginning, he could still asionally reply to her messages. However, she was unable to contact him after he entered the depths of the forest probably because there was no signal. The old man nodded in agreement. We certainly need to discuss this matter with your guardians. After dinner, Huo Xunzhou drove Lin Shanchu home. Lin Shanchu sat in the passenger seat and sent a message to Lin Suguang. Lin Shanchu: [ [picture]] She raised her hand with the ring on it and took a photo before sending the message to him. After waiting for a while, there was still no reply from the other end. Lin Suguang often lost contact with her in the past, but this time, it had been a little long. Lin Shanchu frowned worriedly. Whats wrong? Huo Xunzhou asked her when he noticed her unusual behavior. I havent been able to contact my uncle for many days. Ill get someone to look for him. Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment before she said, Lets talk about it tomorrow. Maybe my uncle will contact me tonight. In the original book, her uncles death was caused by Lu Shiyuan. Now that the plot had changed over and over again, her uncles ending would definitely be altered. Her uncle should be fine. Yeah, Huo Xunzhou replied and did not say anything else. He drove Lin Shanchu home and stayed for a while before returning to the Yun familys old mansion. As soon as Huo Xunzhou left, Lin Shanchu received a call from Lin Suguang. Did you buy the ring yourself? Lin Suguang asked. It looks pretty good. Lin Shanchu replied, Huo Xunzhou gave it to me. He proposed to me. Lin Suguang fell silent for three seconds before he said, Oh, a diamond ring for a proposal. I didnt expect him to be so vulgar. Puzzled, Lin Shanchu thought that was not what he said just now. Lin Shanchu exined softly, Actually it looks pretty good. There was no response on Lin Suguangs end for a while. Was he angry? Her uncle was not such a petty person. Lin Shanchu said, Uncle? Lin Suguang replied, Im booking a ne ticket. Give me a moment. Lin Shanchu was speechless. After a while, Lin Suguangs voice sounded again. Ive already booked a flight back to the country. Im leaving now. Ill arrive at the airport tomorrow morning and reach Capital City the day after tomorrow. Theres no need to be in such a hurry. Rest for a few days before you set off. Lin Shanchu felt that the time was a little rushed and was afraid that he would be tired. Its okay. Im not tired. Lin Suguang said with augh, Im rushing back to see my future niece-inw. Lin Shanchu chatted with him for a while more before hanging up the phone. She recalled her uncles tone just now. Her uncle seemed to have a problem with Huo Xunzhou? The next day, Huo Xunzhou became trending. Some paparazzi took photos of him taking Lin Shanchu home. The hashtag #HuoXunzhouDroveLinShanchuHome was tending. As a public figure, Huo Xunzhou always had good general appeal. After his car ident, many people felt sorry for him. Theizens congratted Huo Xunzhou. Someone started to nder Lin Shanchu. [Now that Huo Xunzhous legs have recovered, will he still like Lin Shanchu?] [If theres a better choice, everyone would choose it, right?] [Im waiting for their breakup to show up on the trending list.] [Is Best Actor Huo going to inherit the family business next? Tch, the perfect match will eventuallye.] Many of Huo Xunzhous fans had been following him since his debut. The fans who had seen much of life were careful enough not to mention Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus rtionship. They just congratted Huo Xunzhou on the recovery of his legs. Fans who gradually gone into hiding after Huo Xunzhou left the industry also showed up. Some generous fans held a lucky draw event to win a luxury car, which was even livelier than the New Year. Lin Shanchu was not interested in any of this. Instead, she was curious about what her fans were thinking. Lin Shanchu casually tapped on a fans Weibo post that tagged her. Shanshan Wifes Little Darling: [Sob, sob, sob. Sister is going to fall out of love. I really pity her.] Lin Shanchu was speechless. Theizen was really her caring little darling. Lin Shanchu went back and tapped on another fans Weibo post. Round Bunny: [Theyre both decent people. Its good if they break up amicably.] Lin Shanchu was speechless. An amicable breakup? Her fans never let her down. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and thought for a while before sending Huo Xunzhou a WeChat message. Lin Shanchu: [Dont announce the news of our marriage for the time being.] Huo Xunzhou: [Okay.] Lin Shanchu: [ [shy kiss.jpg]] Huo Xunzhou curled his lip and sent her an emoticon that rejected kissing. On the opposite side, Huo Zhuxiu clenched his fists and red at Huo Xunzhou as he chided, You were acting like you didnt want to fight for anything for more than a year. You must be doing this for today! Lin Shanchu: [[lm angry and ignoring you.jpg]] Huo Xunzhou: [ [Here you go, little flower.jpg]] Huo Zhuxiu became angrier when he saw Huo Xunzhou was looking down at his phone and ignoring him. Yeah, Huo Xunzhou replied casually with his gazended on the screen, waiting for Lin Shanchus reply.. Chapter 379 - 379: The Truth Was There, But No One MentionedIt Chapter 379 - 379: The Truth Was There, But No One MentionedIt Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou waited for a while, but Lin Shanchu did not reply. She was probably really nning to ignore him for the time being. Huo Xunzhou put his phone aside and slowly looked up at Huo Zhuxiu. Huo Zhuxiu stared menacingly at him, as if he was looking at his mortal enemy. Huo Xunzhou smiled mysteriously.
He pushed the documents on the table in front of Huo Zhuxiu. Announce the contents of these documents or hand Huo Corporation over to me. Its all up to you. Have you thought about what to choose? His maic, husky voice sounded gentle when he smiled, and his serious questioning tone carried the consideration of a junior. However, his actions were neither considerate nor docile. In Huo Zhuxius eyes, Huo Xunzhou was a man with wild ambitions, trying to take his life! Youre threatening me! To be more precise Huo Xunzhous expression turned serious as he said, Im informing you. Great, as expected of my child. Huo Zhuxiuughed in rage. Huo Xunzhous expression turned cold. After he raised his wrist to look at the time, he grew jaded and said, I still have things to doter. Huo Zhuxius face tensed up and the veins on his forehead bulged as he took a few deep breaths. As if he had finally made up his mind, he said, Ill personally take you to Huo Corporation next Monday! He enunciated every word in that sentence. He never let go of his hand on the table. The more readily he agreed, the more aggrieved and unwilling he felt. Huo Xunzhou stood up. See you on Monday. He left without even taking the documents on the table. Huo Zhuxius gaze followed his figure to the door. After that, he averted his gaze and looked at the table. The words vition, tax and injury on the documents ignited his anger. Enraged, he waved his hand and threw all the documents on the table to the ground. As if he was not done venting his anger, he raised his hand and flipped the table over. Next, he turned around and kicked the chair over. Then, he smashed every breakable object in the room as if he had gone crazy. Outside the door. Huo Xunzhou stood with his back facing the door. No matter how good the soundproofing was, it could not block the noise made by Huo Zhuxiu. Even the butler came over after hearing the noise. Young Master, President Huo, he Huo Xunzhou gave the butler an eloquent look before striding away. After Huo Xunzhou left the Huo Family, he went to look for Lin Shanchu. He Xiang opened the door and saw Huo Xunzhou. Then, she turned around happily and told Lin Shanchu, Sister Lin, its Teacher Huo. Lin Shanchu was curled up on the sofa choosing the scripts Qi Cheng had sent over. She turned around and nced at him before looking away. Huo Xunzhou walked over and saw that she did not want to talk to him, so he smiled and sat down beside her. Shanshan? Im busy! Lin Shanchu just moved to the side without looking at him. Huo Xunzhou sat quietly next to her and remained silent. After a while, Lin Shanchu couldnt help but turn to look at him. What brings you here? Im going to take you to practice driving, Huo Xunzhou said leisurely. Its too cold. Im not going. Lin Shanchu turned around and continued reading the script. Huo Xunzhou did not try to persuade her. Instead, he pointed at the script nearest to her. You like this? I like this. Lin Shanchu picked up the script and showed it to Huo Xunzhou with a smile. Huo Xunzhou skimmed through the introduction and narrowed his eyes. A romantic drama? Lin Shanchu nodded seriously and said, If were going to choose an actor ording to the male leads design, we must find a young and handsome one. I feel that Ji Yuan is very suitable Huo Xunzhou said expressionlessly, Ji Yuan is bad at acting and the crew wont want him. Lin Shanchu scowled at him. Ji Yuan is your employee after all. How can you say that about him? Huo Xunzhou replied, Im telling the truth. Sounds like sour grapes to me. Lin Shanchu deliberately wrinkled her nose and sniffed. Huo Xunzhou pinched her nose. Let go! Lin Shanchu, whose nose was pinched, spoke in a muffled voice. Huo Xunzhou leaned over and kissed her. Lin Shanchu struggled a little. He Xiang She went back to her room. It was no wonder Lin Shanchu kept raising the sry of her assistant. Even he wanted to give this sensible assistant a raise. Eventually, Lin Shanchu followed Huo Xunzhou outside to practice driving. The paparazzi took photos of the two of them practicing driving. Theizensmented: [The rtionship between the two of them seems to be quite stable.] [Best Actor Huos legs seem to be recovering well. It looks like Lin Shanchu doesnt need to do fitness training anymore] [I feel the wheels of the car rolling over my face.] Lin Shanchus fansmented: [Sister, I can drive too. Ill teach you!] Huo Xunzhous fansmented: [It appeared! The scene of turning the steering wheel with one hand!] Only the non-fans were seriously shipping the couple. Huo Xunzhou apanied Lin Shanchu to practice driving for the entire afternoon. Then, he took her to a restaurant for dinner in the evening. Why are you so free today? Lin Shanchu asked him during dinner. What can be more important than Shanshan? Huo Xunzhou slowly peeled a prawn and ced it on her te. Lin Shanchu was speechless. This joke would probablyst a lifetime. Lin Shanchu expressionlessly stuffed the prawn into her mouth. Huo Xunzhou couldnt help butugh. After he finishedughing, he exined to her seriously, I have to report to Huo Corporation next Monday. Lin Shanchu smiled expressionlessly as she said, Your dad is quite realistic. Seeing that your legs have recovered, hes going to take you to work at thepany. Huo Xunzhou replied, I threatened him. Ah! Lin Shanchu eximed and leaned over curiously. How did you threaten him? His hands are not clean. As long as I spend some time and investigate him carefully, I can always have a hold over him. So youve been doing this for the past four months? After a pause, Huo Xunzhou asked, Am I that amazing in your heart? Lin Shanchu raised her chin proudly and replied, Of course, Brother Xunzhou, you are the smartest. Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes and continued to peel prawns for her. His voice was a little lower than before. Ive been preparing for this day for many years even before I returned to the Huo family. Huo Zhuxiu was a man who would never let someone have a hold over him easily. By the same token, with Huo Zhuxius abilities, he would never allow his son to be in exile for so many years. If Huo Zhuxiu had the intention of finding Huo Xunzhous whereabouts, he would not have been out in exile for so many years unless Huo Zhuxiu did not look for him on purpose and wanted him to fend for himself outside. Simrly, with the Yun familys power, it was impossible for them to be unable to find a child after so many years unless there was a bigger force preventing them from finding Huo Xunzhou. The truth was there, but no one mentioned it. Lin Shanchu already thought of this possibility when she first found out about Huo Xunzhous background. However, Huo Xunzhou did not bring up the topic, so Lin Shanchu did not take the initiative to ask him either.. Chapter 380 - 380: Shanshan Dotes On You Chapter 380 - 380: Shanshan Dotes On You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu did not ask about Huo Xunzhous background not because she was inconsiderate. In her opinion, the more she knew about Huo Xunzhou, the more she would be deeply involved in his life. When a person was deeply involved in another persons life, it was very difficult to get away from them. She had been intentionally avoiding this matter.
Naturally, Huo Xunzhou noticed it too. This was also one of the reasons he had dissipated his fortune to acquire Lu Corporations shares. She wanted to get away? Not a chance. Now that things hade to this point, Lin Shanchu also recognized the reality. It was impossible for her to get away, so she could only resign to her fate and get married. Is he your biological father? Lin Shanchu asked Huo Xunzhou from the bottom of her heart. Lin Shanchus parents passed away early, but they loved her very much. Therefore, she could not understand why a biological father was so cruel to his son. The depressing atmosphere was abrupted broken by Lin Shanchus straightforward question. Huo Xunzhou nodded seriously. Yes. Have you done a paternity test? I did. Huo Xunzhou was still holding his chopsticks and his tone sounded calm. Lin Shanchus heart skipped a beat. The were three ultimate questions of human philosophy: Who am I, where am I from, and where am I going? Huo Xunzhou had led a wandering life since he was young. He was smart and stronghearted. Even if he was sessful, he would still want to know who his parents were and what kind of people they were. When he found out that his father was the powerful Huo Zhuxiu, he probably.. felt sad. He was clearly his biological father, but why didnt he look for him? Like many abandoned children, he probably had gone through a psychological struggle before convincing himself to ept the truth. Lin Shanchu suddenly realized it. He had pretended to be disabled for the past year not because he was under Huo Zhuxius control, but he wanted to confirm if Huo Zhuxiu really did not have a paternal bond with him at all. He had always been cautious in doing things and would not allow himself to make mistakes. Facts had proved that Huo Zhuxiu truly did not have a paternal bond with him. Otherwise, he would not have chosen this moment toy his cards on the table with Huo Zhuxiu. Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Zhuxiu was simply the biggest idiot in the world. He had such a good son, yet he did not want him! Huo Zhuxiu did not want Huo Xunzhou, but she wanted him! Lin Shanchu reached out for a prawn and carefully peeled it before cing it on Huo Xunzhous te. Eat it. What are you doing? Huo Xunzhou asked with a smile. Lin Shanchu looked at him with her pure eyes and said sincerely, Shanshan dotes on you. After hearing those words, the smile on Huo Xunzhous face gradually disappeared. Then, he lowered his head to eat the prawn she had peeled for him. Then you have to keep your word. You cant go back on your word. He did not raise his head when he spoke and his voice sounded muffled. Of course Ill keep my word. Lin Shanchu leaned towards him, craning her neck to see his expression, but he suddenly turned his head to look elsewhere. Lets eat. Why are you hiding? Lin Shanchu did not care about what he said. She cupped his face and turned to look at him, only to see his red-rimmed eyes. You Lin Shanchu was at a loss. She was uncertain if her words or the mention of Huo Zhuxiu had broken his defense. She leaned over and hugged his arm tightly. She couldnt help but look up at his eyes. Her heart ached a little. However, she was a little excited. Huo Xunzhous eyes looked beautiful in the first ce. He was usually an indifferent person, but when his eyes were red-rimmed, he was like a loveable white bunny. He was really good-looking. Lin Shanchu even felt a little regretful that she did not see him cry. Of course, she could not let Huo Xunzhou know about this. Otherwise, he would think that she was a pervert. After a while, Huo Xunzhou calmed down. Ill take you home after the meal, he said, pushing Lin Shanchu away gently. Oh. Lin Shanchu slowly sat up straight. Actually, she was almost done eating. Huo Xunzhou, on the other hand, had been chatting with her and peeling prawns, so he did not have time to eat. Lin Shanchu began to frantically peel prawns for Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou smiled helplessly, but still he obediently ate all the food she picked up for him. Is it too much? Lin Shanchu asked tentatively when she noticed the food on Huo Xunzhous te was piled up like a small mountain. Its just enough, Huo Xunzhou replied with a smile. When he smiled, she knew that it was indeed too much. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and put down the chopsticks. Eat as much as you can. It doesnt matter if you cant finish it. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou nodded, looking docile. Lin Shanchu rested her head on her hand and looked at him for a long while. Then, she said thoughtfully, In this world, everyone has their own reasons for doing anything Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before she said with a frown, Of course, Huo Chaosheng is an exception. He is an abnormal person. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything and just listened to her quietly. Huo Zhuxiu has always been extreme in doing things. Back then, he even wanted to get rid of me for the sake of Huo Chaosheng Lin Shanchumented, Hes a ruthless person whos good at eliminating the root cause of the problem. Therefore, there must be a reason Huo Zhuxiu let Huo Xunzhou wander outside and fend for himself. Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. It was obvious that Huo Zhuxiu was worse than a beast. Hearing that, Huo Xunzhou put down his chopsticks and said calmly, Chaosheng is his illegitimate child. Huh, really? Lin Shanchu was taken aback for a moment and continued, No wonder he was so angryst time when I said that Huo Chaosheng was his illegitimate son, so I was right. But Lin Shanchu asked puzzledlv, An illegitimate child isnt something rare in a family like this, right? Why was he so agitated? It suddenly dawned on Lin Shanchu as she said to herself, Because of Chaoshengs mother! She sat up straight and looked at Huo Xunzhou for confirmation. Huo Xunzhou leaned back in the chair and nodded lightly. Who is Huo Chaoshengs mother? I dont know, Huo Xunzhou replied straightforwardly. Huh? Lin Shanchu asked, Didnt you investigate her? Logically speaking, such a trivial matter would not be difficult for Huo Xunzhou. I couldnt find anything about her. Huo Xunzhou cleared his throat. Lin Shanchu was speechless. It was normal that he could not find out about such a big matter! So youre so nice to Huo Chaosheng because you want to know who his biological mother is? Huo Xunzhou shook his head and replied, The person I want to find is my aunt. She was Huo Zhuxius younger sister and Huo Chaoshengs mother in name. Why are you looking for her? On the day my mother and I met with an ident, my aunt was also there, but now her whereabouts is unknown. Lin Shanchu finally realized something and murmured, Thats right! Since Huo Zhuxiu let you wander outside, there must be something fishy about your mothers death. Huo Xunzhous aunt, as one of the parties involved back then, must have Imown something. It turned out that this was what Huo Chaosheng mentionedHuo Xunzhou had an ulterior motive towards him.. Chapter 381 - 381: I Am That Cheating Player Chapter 381 - 381: I Am That Cheating yer Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu guessed. But its been so long and you still havent gotten any information about your aunts whereabouts from Huo Chaosheng. Could it be because Huo Chaosheng doesnt know about it? Huo Xunzhou said unhurriedly, I cant rule out that possibility. Thats not right. Lin Shanchu shook her head and said, Huo Chaosheng told me before that everyone who treats him well is plotting against him. I think even if he doesnt know where your aunt is, he must know some secrets about the Huo family. Huo Chaosheng grew up in the Huo family and had spent the longest time with Huo Zhuxiu. There must be a reason Huo Zhuxiu thought highly of him. The more Lin Shanchu thought about it, the more convinced she was that Huo
Chaosheng knew manv secrets about Hilo 7.hnxi11 It had been a while since she asked Huo Chaosheng to hang out with her. She might as well ask him out sometime to worm information out of him. I think Just as an idea crossed Lin Shanchus mind, Huo Xunzhou interrupted her. I havent even finished speaking, and youre already saying no! Do you not love me anymore? Huo Xunzhou did not even blink at Lin Shanchus unreasonable behavior. He waved for the waiter toe over and paid the bill. Its gettingte. I have to pick up your uncle at the airport tomorrow, so Ill take you home first. On the way back, Lin Shanchu remained unconvinced and continued to talk about what had just happened. I may be able to worm some information out of Huo Chaosheng, she said as she crossed her arms and red at Huo Xunzhou. When the car stopped at a red light at the intersection, Huo Xunzhou spoke gently, Shanshan, what Im going to tell you today not because I want you to get involved, I just want to inform you what Im doing. Previously, Lin Shanchu intentionally avoided asking about his matters, but wasnt he the same? Whether it was the Huo family or the rtionship between him and Huo Zhuxiu, they were all inglorious. Lin Shanchu was born in a normal family with loving parents. Even though he knew that Lin Shanchu did not care about these things, he still had worries and hesitations. Lin Shanchu said casually, Oh, a confession. Huo Xunzhou felt that her tone was a little subtle, so he turned to look at her. Lin Shanchu smiled at him and said, I have something to confess to you too. Huo Xunzhou looked at her in surprise and said, Just say it. Lin Shanchu deliberately kept him in suspense. Promise me that you wont get angry. This sentence was undoubtedly proof that what she said next would definitely anger Huo Xunzhou. You go first. Huo Xunzhou did not promise her. Alright then. Lin Shanchu said helplessly, Even if youre angry, you cant chase me out of the car. Huo Xunzhou said seriously, I can guarantee that. Lin Shanchu silently reached out to grab the roof handle above her head. I was the one who stabbed Jiang Ziyu. Then, Huo Chaosheng pushed him down the stairs. The car snaked forward and soon parked by the roadside. Lin Shanchu! Huo Xunzhou shouted, deep-voiced. Lin Shanchu replied, You said you wouldnt chase me out of the car. After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Huo Xunzhou said, What else did you do with Chaosheng? Say it all at once. Lin Shanchu shook her head innocently. There were many things that she had not done yet. She did not know whether Huo Xunzhou believed her or not. He changed the topic and asked, Who helped you deal with the surveince cameras at the scene? Although it had been more than half a year since the incident, Huo Xunzhou still remembered clearly that Lin Shanchu was not captured in the surveince cameras at the scene. There were no traces of the surveince cameras being tampered with. Therefore, after he had read Jiang Ziyus information at that time, even if he had doubts about Lin Shanchus original intention, he were unable to confirm it. Now that Lin Shanchu had admitted it, he naturally believed her. After pondering for a moment, Lin Shanchu asked, Youve yed games before, havent you? You know what a cheat code means, right? Huo Xunzhou replied, Yeah. Lin Shanchu said, Thats right, I am that cheating yer. She could not exin the system at the moment, so she could only use a more concise and understandable exnation. The next morning, Huo Xunzhou came to pick Lin Shanchu up and take her to the airport. Lin Suguangs flight arrival time was at 9:00 a.m. The two of them reached the airport half an hour early. Lin Shanchu stood guard at the exit, leaning against the railing and looking inside eagerly. Se was excited and nervous. We havent seen each other for many years. I wonder if Uncle can still recognize me. Of course he can recognize you. But Ive changed a lot over the years. No matter how big the change is, you are still family. Youre right. Her uncle was the best. He would definitely be able to recognize her at a nce. The two of them waited for a long time. Even after the people around them had changed, Lin Shanchu still did not see Lin Suguang. When Lin Shanchu called Lin Suguang, his phone was still switched off. Looked at the time again, she said anxiously, Its already 9:30 a.m. Wait here and dont run around, Huo Xunzhou said solemnly. Ill go find him through broadcast. Alright. Lin Shanchu nodded obediently. Huo Xunzhou turned around and took two steps before he bumped into someone running towards him. Im sorry! The young man who bumped into him reached out to help him up and quickly apologized. The young man was wearing a cap, looking thin and tall. He had a clean face and his eyes were especially clear and eye-catching. Looking at the somewhat familiar face, Huo Xunzhou asked hesitantly, Mr. Lin Suguang? You know me? Lin Suguang, who was about to run away, suddenly looked up. When he saw Huo Xunzhous face, he raised his eyebrows. Its you. This was Lin Suguangs first time meeting Huo Xunzhou, but before that, he had already seen Huo Xunzhous photos on the Inte. Hello, Mr. Huo Xunzhou. Lin Suguang extended his hand to him with a scrutinizing gaze. Hello, Mr. Lin Suguang. Huo Xunzhou extended his hand with aplicated expression. The uncle that Lin Shanchu mentioned was really small. He looked very young. Huo Xunzhou guessed that Lin Suguang was probably around his age. When he was sizing up Lin Suguang, Lin Suguang did the same to him. Mr. Huo, you are quite photogenic. He had flown back overnight to see what kind of man had charmed his niece so much that she wanted to get married at such a young age. When he got off the ne, he was still thinking about how to find fault with HUO xunznou arter meeting mm. However, he did not expect Huo Xunzhou to be as good-looking as he was on He thought that this face would probably look good in any angle when a photo of him was taken. Uncle! Lin Shanchu rushed over as soon as she saw Lin Suguang. Lin Suguang spread his arms toward her. After a short hug, Lin Suguang pushed her away and looked at her carefully. Youve grown so tall! And you look even more beautiful than on TV! Youve grown taller too. Lin Shanchu said with a smile, Youre just a little tanned, but you are as handsome as ever. Lin Suguang stroked her head in satisfaction. Where did you go just now? Lin Shanchu asked him. Weve been waiting for you here. Hearing those words, Lin Suguang quickly looked around and shouted, I saw Lu Shiyuan just now! Chapter 382 - 382: I Think Huo Xunzhou Is More Interesting and Good-looking Than the Outside World Chapter 382 - 382: I Think Huo Xunzhou Is More Interesting and Good-looking Than the Outside World Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Upon hearing Lu Shiyuans name, Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other tacitly. Lin Suguang looked around but he did not see Lu Shiyuan. Then, he cast a resentful nce at Huo Xunzhou. I was chasing after him, and then I bumped into Mr. Huo. Uncle, this is my boyfriend, Huo Xunzhou. You can call him by his name. Holding Huo Xunzhous hand, Lin Shanchu said with a smile, But he is my fianc now.
We just met each other. Lin Suguang smiled warmly at Lin Shanchu. When he turned to look at Huo Xunzhou, his smile immediately disappeared. Isnt that right, Mr. Huo? Huo Xunzhou replied, Yes, Mr. Lin. Lin Suguang was speechless andughed inwardly. After getting into the car, Lin Suguang was still thinking about Lu Shiyuan. Shouldnt he be in prison? Why did he show up here? Maybe he got out of jail early because he behaved well, Lin Shanchu said calmly. Looking indignant, Lin Suguang rolled up his sleeves and said, I didnt catch up to him today. He got off easy. Ill beat him up every time I see him. Although Lin Suguang was overseas and often lost contact with Lin Shanchu, he would check the news online and ask about her recent situation whenever he was free. Lin Shanchu did not tell him everything about herself in detail, but he saw everything that Lu Shiyuan had done on the Inte. Lin Shanchus eyes shed as she spoke, What if he calls the police to arrest you? Its not worth going to jail for someone like him. Her uncle grew up with such a protective personality. When she was young, her uncle would always stand up for her when someone bullied her. He was only a rew years older tnan ner. w nen ner parents passea away, ne said that he was obliged to take care of her, but at that time, she chose to go to the Lu family. After a few years, Lin Suguang saw that she was doing well in the Lu family. Only then did he go abroad. In the years since Lin Suguang went abroad, Lin Shanchu only reported the good news. Therefore, he always assumed that Lin Shanchu was doing well. Although the two of them had not seen each other for many years, the kinship that flowed in their blood could not be washed away by time and distance. The two of them had endless conversations along the way. Huo Xunzhou was sitting in the drivers seat and willing to be the driver. Considering that Lin Suguang was tired after such a long flight, the three of them went to a restaurant and had a simple lunch before going home. Huo Xunzhou left after taking the two of them home. What do you think of Huo Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu asked Lin Suguang eagerly after seeing Huo Xunzhou off. Not bad. When Lin Suguang saw her happy expression, he said helplessly, He looks handsome, reliable and a good dating partner. He emphasized thest four words. He felt that Lin Shanchu was still young. It was fine for her to be in a rtionship, but it was too early for her to get married. However, Lin Shanchu only listened to what she wanted to hear. After hearing the first half of Lin Suguangs words, she smiled even more happily and said, We are nning to get married. Speechless, Lin Suguang realized that Lin Shanchu turned a deaf ear to his words. Lin Suguang tried to persuade her. Youre an artist. Young artists should prioritize their career. Dont be in such a hurry to get married. Marriage doesnt conflict with career. But Wont your fans mind that youre getting married so early? I wont consider the opinions of my fans when ites to marriage. If she considered the opinions of her fans, she would probably stay single for the rest of her life. Lin Suguang was at a loss for words for a moment. After a long time, he said, Anyway Youre still young. Dont you want to go out to have fun and see more of the outside world? Lin Shanchu covered her face shyly as she said, I think Huo Xunzhou is more fun and good-looking than the outside world. Lin Suguang was shocked. Was she still the innocent and adorable niece of his? After a while, Lin Suguang found his voice and asked carefully, Is it the kind of fun I think it is? What else could it be? Lin Shanchu blinked. Which woman did not crave Huo Xunzhous body? Lin Suguang pondered for a moment and nodded as if he understood her. You are all adults, so its normal He said normal several times in a row. The main reason was that he was not used to it for a while. Lin Shanchu was still a child when he left back then, but in the blink of an eye, she was about to get married. The two of them chatted endlessly untilte at night. Before going to bed, Lin Shanchu reminded Lin Suguang worriedly, Uncle, take a detour if you meet Lu Shiyuan in the future. Donty a hand on him. I Brother Xunzhou will help me deal with him. She almost spilled the beans. She did not want her uncle to know that she had been secretly doing bad tmngs. Lin replied nomittally, Is that so? Lin Shanchu moved closer with a mysterious expression and said, Ill tell you a secret. What is it? Even though there were only the two of them in the living room, Lin Shanchu acted like she was whispering to him. She lowered her voice and said, Huo Xunzhou helped me get Lu Corporation. Lin Suguang asked, What do you mean? Lin Shanchu told Lin Suguang about Huo Xunzhous secret acquisition of Lu Corporations shares. Lin Suguang was shocked again. Feelings are feelings and money is money. They cant be mixed up. His tone was no longer as firm as before. Uncle, what you said makes sense. Lin Suguang was silent for a while. His tone was full of temptation as he asked, Is he physically and mentally healthy? Huh? Lin Shanchu was confused for a moment before she came to her senses. Huo Xunzhou isnt stupid. Dont talk about him like that. Lin Suguang replied, Oh. However, the question was, if he was not a fool, why would he dissipate his fortune and do such a thing? It seemed that the person who was under a spell was not Lin Shanchu, but Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu stood up and said, Its decided then. Lets meet his parents tomorrow. What parents? Huo Xunzhous parents. The next night, the two families met up for dinner at Boya Hotel. Lin Shanchu did not ask Huo Xunzhou to pick her up, so Lin Suguang drove her over. All the elders of the Yun family were present. Huo Xunzhous uncle and aunt also rushed back. The spouses were wearing in sportswear without putting on any airs. Shanshan is so beautiful. Xunzhou must have been blessed for several lifetimes to find such a beautifuldy. We nned toe back at first, but the flight was canceled. So, we decided to stay for a few more months beforeing back Your uncle is so handsome. You two look quite alike. When Lin Suguang came over, he was still a little reluctant. However, he waspletely confused when was praised by the amiable elders at the scene. Even so, Lin Suguang suddenly became serious like an elder when both sides talked about Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhous marriage. Shanshan is my only family. I respect her decision and trust her judgment. No matter what happens, I will stand behind her and support her.. Chapter 383 - 383: Bloodline Suppression Chapter 383 - 383: Bloodline Suppression Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Suguang stood up with the wine ss in his hand. Everyone, thank you for your love and care for Shanshan. In fact, he did not have a problem with Huo Xunzhou. He just felt that Lin Shanchu was still young and he could not bear to see her get married so early. However, through the conversationst night, he realized that he had indeed been away for too long. Lin Shanchu was no longer the obedient child who always followed behind the adults in his memory.
She had her own judgment and could make her own decisions. She was already a grown-up who could take responsibility for her own life. Lin Shanchu stood up obediently and imitated Lin Suguang by raising the wine ss in her hand. She acted obediently like a child who followed an adult to a feast. The elders of the Yun family tactfully left after dinner, leaving only Huo Xunzhou behind. Its still early. How about a couple of drinks? Lin Suguang asked as he raised the wine bottle slowly and looked at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou held the wine ss with both hands and handed it to Lin Suguang. The two of them were of simr age, but Lin Suguang was a senior, so Huo Xunzhou had to show proper etiquette. Lin Suguang picked up the wine bottle and poured it vigorously into Huo Xunzhous ss. He stopped only when the wine overflowed from the ss. At this moment, someone stretched out a fair and slender arm from the other side to grab the wine ss. Lin Suguang turned his head and met Lin Shanchus big blinking eyes. Then, he asked, What are you doing? Drinking, Lin Shanchu said seriously. Lin Suguang raised his eyebrows, feeling puzzled. Lin Shanchu asked innocently, Didnt you say you wanted to have a couple of drinks? Lin Suguang replied, I didnt say Id drink with you. Lin Shanchu said coquettishly, Uncle, just a little. Lin Suguang did not buy it, so he waved his hand and said, Stay away and y on the side. Lin Shanchu was speechless. On the other hand, Huo Xunzhou suddenly coughed. Cough! Lin Shanchu looked up at him and said expressionlessly, Laugh if you want How could she not see that Huo Xunzhou was trying to hold back hisughter? Did he find it funny when he saw her being disciplined by her uncle? Indeed, Huo Xunzhou found it funny. Lin Shanchu was fearless and was ready to cause trouble at any time. He did not expect her to have such a wimpy moment. It was probably the so-called bloodline suppression. Lin Suguang followed her gaze and turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhous smile had long disappeared. His expression was calm and indifferent, and there was nothing unusual about it. Lin Suguang averted his gaze and looked at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu silently put down the wine ss and obediently leaned on the table to watch Lin Suguang and Huo Xunzhou drink. She was well aware with Huo Xunzhous alcohol tolerance. He was not a good drinker, but he was good at putting up a pretense. Even if he was drunk, no one would be able to notice it easily. As for her uncles alcohol tolerance Lin Shanchu remembered that she once unintentionally talked to Lin Suguang about drinking in the past. Lin Suguang told her to try not to drink outside, and he did not mention his alcohol tolerance. However, based on Lin Shanchus understanding of Lin Suguang, he spent 360 days out of 365 days a year in the forest. Therefore, he had no time to drink or party at all. Tch. Her uncle would definitely lose miserably. Lin Shanchu was already thinking about how tofort Lin Suguang when the time came. Huo Xunzhou and Lin Suguang did not talk much at first and drank one ss after another. Towards the end, Lin Suguang gradually became more talkative under the effect of alcohol. Shanshan has been outstanding since she was young. She was the one who received the most red flowers in kindergarten She is indeed outstanding. Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu looked at each other, separated by Lin Suguang. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She silently tugged at Lin Suguangs sleeve. Lin Suguang turned to look at her slowly. She whispered, Dont brag about the affair in kindergarten. Im telling the truth Lin Suguang waved his hand and said, Xunzhou is willing to listen, so Ill continue chatting with him. He even called Xunzhou over. It seemed that he was really drunk. He felt that it was inconvenient for Huo Xunzhou to chat if he sat too far away, so he stood up and swayed his chair towards Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu could not hold him back. Huo Xunzhou quietly helped Lin Suguang up. After Lin Suguang sat down, he sneakily continued to talk to Huo Xunzhou about Lin Shanchus childhood. Lin Shanchu wanted to hear it too, but Lin Suguang forbade her to go over. She could only vaguely hear the words like chased for two streets and lined up. If she had known that her uncle would be so drunk after drinking, she would have snatched the bottle over and finished it in one go. After an unknown amount of time, Lin Suguangs speed of speech became slower and slower. He would pause for a long time after saying a sentence. It was obvious that he was extremely drunk and remained conscious through sheer willpower. Huo Xunzhou, who was beside her, lowered his eyes slightly and looked drunk, but Lin Shanchu knew that he was sober. Bang! Someone could not hold his liquor and copsed onto the table. Hahaha, hes drunk! Lin Suguangughed heartily as he pointed at Huo Xunzhou, who was lying on the table. Speechless, Lin Shanchu thought that he was putting up a pretense. Lin Shanchu smiled and said sincerely, Uncle, youre so amazing. Lin Suguang proudly patted Huo Xunzhou on the shoulder. Xunzhou. Hes a good person, but he cant hold his liquor. But it doesnt matter, as long as Shanshan doesnt mind Lin Shanchu couldnt help butugh. Yeah, I dont mind that he cant hold his liquor. Just then, Huo Xunzhous phone rang. The person pretending to be drunk naturally could not get up to answer the phone. Lin Shanchu got up and walked over. Then, she took out his phone from his pocket and saw the name Li MO on the screen. Sister-inw? Li MO immediately recognized Lin Shanchus voice and said, Are you guys done over there? Big Brother sent me a message earlier to pick you up at this time. We have just finished. Lin Shanchu nced at the man who was pretending to be drunk. Li MO said, Ill be right there. Li MO quickly pushed the door open and walked in. Shocked, he looked at Huo Xunzhou, who was lying unconscious on the table, and asked, Why is Big Brother so drunk? Yeah. Lin Shanchu nodded and said, Li MO, help me support my uncle. Li MO came over to help Lin Suguang up, but then he asked her worriedly, Can you help Big Brother up? I can, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. After Li MO and Lin Suguang left, Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and walked up to Huo Xunzhou. Best Actor Huo, do you really want me to help you up? Huo Xunzhou, who was lying on the table, tilted his head and revealed half of his face. His watery charming eyes were mesmerizing. He extended his hand towards Lin Shanchu and his voice was low and gentle. Im drunk, Shanshan. I need you to help me up. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and smiled. Then, she reached out to pull him, but he took her into his arms with a jerk and sat on herp. Why is your uncles alcohol tolerance so bad? Huo Xunzhou muttered as he rested his chin on her shoulder. Hes not even as good as you. Lin Shanchu reached out and covered her ears. You cant badmouth my uncle, or else hell be upset.. Chapter 384 - 384: “Late Night”, “Alone” and “Strange Man” Chapter 384 - 384: Late Night, Alone and Strange Man Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Suguang was the one who drove when he went out with Lin Shanchu. Now that Lin Suguang could not drive due to drunkenness, he could only ask Li MO to take them home. The sensible Li MO moved Lin Suguang, who was so drunk that he insisted on walking in a straight line, onto the passenger seat. Lin Suguang lost consciousness right after lowering the seat and buckling the seatbelt. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were sitting in the rear seat.
Huo Xunzhou leanedzily against Lin Shanchu and squinted slightly, looking a little tired. It was quiet and harmonious in the car. When they arrived at Lin Shanchus house, Li MO helped Lin Suguang out of the car. Only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were left in the car. Huo Xunzhou was still leaning against her shoulder without moving an inch. Lin Shanchu nudged him and said, Drop the act already. Li MO and my uncle have gotten out of the car. Huo Xunzhou slowly opened his eyes and his voice sounded sleepy. Im a little sleepy. Lin Shanchu patted his head and said, Go back and rest early. Tomorrow is Monday. You should report for duty at Huo Corporation. Do you want me to pick you up from work? Huo Xunzhou suddenly straightened up with sparkling eyes. However, he quickly shook his head and said, Apany your uncle since he rarelyes back. Lin Suguang was andscape photographer and spent most of his time in the wilderness. Lin Shanchu was also busy with work, so they did not have much time together. Alright then. It was rare for Huo Xunzhou to be so magnanimous. It was early in the morning. Right after Lin Shanchu heated up the breakfast, Lin Suguang walked into the dining room while scratching his head. Shanshan, how did I get backst night? He thought about it for a long time, but he could only remember that Huo Xunzhouy down first. As for what happened after that, he could not remember at all. Li MO drove us home, Lin Shanchu said as she ced a bowl of hangover soup in front of him. Oh, Lin Suguang replied. After he finished drinking the hangover soup, he stared at Lin Shanchu with aplicated expression. Lin Shanchu asked, Whats wrong? Lin Suguang said seriously, Huo Xunzhou has a terrible alcohol tolerance. Do you want to reconsider him? Lin Shanchu was pretty, smart, gentle and virtuous. He always felt that it was a bargain for that fool, Huo Xunzhou, that fool. After looking at him for a moment, Lin Shanchu exposed him. You cant bear to part with me, can you? No way. Lin Suguang immediately denied it and lowered his head to eat breakfast. After a while, Lin Suguang raised his head and asked her, When do you n to hold the wedding? I dont know. I think we should get our marriage certificate first. Lin Shanchu turned to look out the window. It was alreadyte winter and everything was bleak. Its almost the end of the year. We cant leave this years matters for next year. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and looked back at Lin Suguang. Uncle, what do you think? Lin Suguang could not understand Lin Shanchu at this moment. There were emotions hidden in her eyes that he could not see clearly. The girl in front of him was the obedient and beautiful niece in his memory, but not quite. Lin Suguang put down the chopsticks and asked, Whats the matter? Someone owes me a debt. Lin Shanchu smiled, looking especially happy. Lin Suguang did not understand why she was happy when someone owed her money. The debt for this year shouldnt be carried forwad to the next year. Go get it back, or I can help you get it. The Lin familys ancestors were businessmen who were particr about not carrying debts forward to the next year, so they would go around urging for payment at the end of the year. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and said, Then Ill go collect the debt tomorrow. Lin Suguang replied, Alright. At this moment, the sound of the door opening came from outside. He Xiang probably came back. Just as Lin Shanchu finished speaking, He Xiangs voice was heard. Sister Lin, Im back. He Xiang walked in while carrying bags. Seeing this, Lin Suguang stood up to help carry the things. He Xiang greeted him politely. Good morning, Uncle. Lin Shanchu and Lin Suguang came backtest night and woke upte in the morning. He Xiang, who woke up early, made breakfast and ate by herself before going out to do shopping. By the time He Xiang put down her things and came out, Lin Shanchu and Lin Suguang also finished their breakfast. He Xiang came over to help clean up the cutlery. By the way, Sister Lin, the paparazzi took photos of you and your uncle when you went out yesterday, but Brother Qi is already making arrangements for rification. We were photographed? Lin Shanchu thought for a moment before she continued, Theres no need to rush for rification. He Xiang replied, Huh? Ill give Brother Qi a call. Lin Shanchu stood up to get her phone. She first called Qi Cheng and said that there was no need to rify the matter for the time being. Then, she went online to read the news. The first thing Lin Shanchu saw was not the news of her and Lin Suguang being photographed, but the news about Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou appeared at Huo Corporation with his father, Huo Zhuxiu, and may inherit the family business In the business news section, Huo Xunzhou and Huo Zhuxiu were seen entering the building of Huo Corporation together. Although it was business news, the number ofments and views were impressive because the main character was Huo Xunzhou. Thements section: [Huo Xunzhou left the entertainment industry just to go home and inherit the family business.] [I heard from Informed sources in Capital City that Huo Xunzhous father doesnt pay much attention to him. It seems to be all rumors.] [I heard that Huo Zhuxiu only has one son. If he doesnt pass the family business to his son, who else can he pass it to?] [Tsk- Its not that easy to be the daughter-inw of a rich family. The trending topic about the breakup wont be far away.] [Even if Huo Xunzhous rtionship with that person is real, will his father agree?] [Thats right. Wealthy families are most particr about well-matched families.] Lin Shanchu tapped on thements section because she wanted to see theizens praising Huo Xunzhous handsomeness. As a result, most of themmented that she was going to be dumped. It was different from the fans wanting her to break up. Although her fans were a little willful, they really liked her as a person. They had nothing against Huo Xunzhou, but they set a high standard for her and always felt that she should stay single. They hoped that she would break up, but they also wished her well. Lin Shanchu tapped open the entertainment section and saw a photo of her and Lin Suguang getting into the car together. Fortunately, Lin Suguangs face was mostly covered, so he could not be seen clearly. The headline of the news was eye-catching. [Lin Shanchu was alone in a car with a strangerte at night] The words te at night, alone, and strange man really made ones imagination run wild. Thements section: [Huh??? They broke up?] [Its either a breakup or an affair!] [They definitely broke up. I dont believe Lin Shanchu would dare to cheat on Best Actor Huo!] [Looks like this couple is no exception either. Lin Shanchu should focus on her career. I think her acting skills are quite good. She should act more.] [A sparrow can forget about flying up to the branches and bing a phoenix] [She already found a new man so quickly? The seamless rtionships makes her look like a scumbag.] Shanshan, why dont you rify the matter? When Lin Shanchu saw Lin Suguang walk over, she locked the phone and put it aside. Ill rify it tomorrow. She asked Lin Suguang with a smile, How about I take you for a spin this afternoon? He did not expect Lin Suguang to reject her. No need, I have something to do in the afternoon. What is it? Im invited to be a judge for a university photographypetition.. Ill go over and take a look. Chapter 385 - 385: See You Tomorrow Chapter 385 - 385: See You Tomorrow Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It was night. Huo Xunzhou kept looking down at his phone when he walked out of Huo Corporation building after work. He had sent a message to Lin Shanchu before leaving the office. However, she never replied. It was already dinner time.
He thought that Lin Shanchu was probably having dinner with Lin Suguang and had no time to look at her phone. Big Brother! Li MO parked the car at the entrance, rolled down the car window and poked his head out before waving at Huo Xunzhou. When Huo Xunzhou came closer, Li MO did not get out of the car to open the door for him. Instead, he urged him. Its so cold today. Hurry up and get in the car. The two of them were close, but Li MO was a serious person. Huo Xunzhou had paid him a sry, so he had been serious about his job as a bodyguard and part-time driver. But today, he did not get out of the car to open the door for Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou kept quiet and just nced indifferently at Li Mo. On the other hand, Li MO already rolled up the car window. It was a little abnormal. With that thought in mind, Huo Xunzhou reached out to open the door to the backseat. At this moment, someone suddenly opened the car door from the inside. Huo Xunzhou leaned over and looked inside. The first thing he saw was arge bouquet of flowers. A fluffy head poked out from behind the bouquet. The youngdys exquisite eyes were filled with joy and her voice was soft. Brother Xunzhou, Im here to pick you up from work! Huo Xunzhous heart skipped a beat and his eyes softened as he asked, Didnt you agree to apany your uncle? Hes busy. Lin Shanchu moved closer and said, Get in the car. Its cold outside. As soon as Huo Xunzhou got into the car, Lin Shanchu stuffed the bouquet of flowers into his hands. I bought it especially for you. Do you like it? Huo Xunzhou looked at the flowers in his hand and then at the expectant youngdy. Then, he raised the flowers in front of him with one hand and pulled her over with the other. After that, he lowered his head and kissed her. Li MO, who was sitting in the drivers seat, was driving seriously. Disappointment shed across his eyes when he saw the scene in the rear seat through the rearview mirror. They were all family. Was there anything he could not see? Was there a need to cover themselves with flowers? Huo Xunzhou got up and ended the kiss before answering her question. I like it. Lin Shanchu looked up at him and said coquettishly, I even booked a restaurant. How do you feel? Lin Shanchu asked Huo Xunzhou after the two of them finished ordering food at the restaurant. Huo Xunzhou kept curling his lips. Very good. The restaurant was very good. The lighting was very good. The person opposite him was the best. Lin Shanchu hummed happily after getting a satisfactory answer. Huo Xunzhou just smiled and looked at her. What did you do today? Huo Xunzhou softly asked Lin Shanchu when it was time for dessert after dinner. I woke up quitete in the morning. After breakfast, I watched a movie the entire morning. In the afternoon, I tried on clothes. The brand owner sent a lot of clothes over Lin Shanchu told him everything about the days schedule. She looked obedient and did not look like she had caused any trouble. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she looked up and saw Huo Xunzhous inquisitive expression before he couldpletely restrain himself. She pushed the dessert in front of her to the side and frowned at him. Did you think I gave you flowers and arranged dinner for you because I caused trouble? Huo Xunzhou was at a loss for words. It was because he really thought so. Hmph! Lin Shanchu crossed her arms angrily and shouted, Huo Xunzhou! Dont even think about getting the marriage certificate with me tomorrow! What did you say? Huo Xunzhous mind went nk for a moment. Forget it if you didnt hear me. Lin Shanchu beckoned for the waiter. The bill, please. Huo Xunzhou subconsciously wanted to pay the bill. Lin Shanchu stared daggers at him. You dare to try and snatch the bill from Huo Xunzhou silently put down his phone. After paying the bill, Lin Shanchu walked in front with her arms crossed and her chin raised, whereas Huo Xunzhou followed behind her without saying a word. He controlled his steps and followed closely behind her. His face was clearly cold and aloof, but when the passers-by looked at him, the first thing they felt was that he had been tamed. Li MO left after driving them to the restaurant, but he left the car behind. When Lin Shanchu walked up to the car, Huo Xunzhou stepped forward and opened the door to the passenger seat. Lin Shanchu calmly got into the car. After closing the door, Huo Xunzhou got in from the other side. Until the car started, the two of them did not exchange a word. It was past the rush hour and the car moved smoothly on the road. Finally, Huo Xunzhous voice sounded when the car stopped at a big intersection and waited for the red light. You just said that tomorrow As Huo Xunzhou spoke, his fingers kept tapping on the steering wheel, looking restless. He turned to look at Lin Shanchu and asked, To get our marriage certificate? Lin Shanchu replied indifferently, Yes. Huo Xunzhous eyes brightened as he asked cautiously, So well go early tomorrow morning? President Huo, dont you have to go to work early tomorrow morning? Lin Shanchu asked in a lukewarm tone, Do you have time? Huo Xunzhou immediately said, Ill go to work after we get the certificate. He sat up straight and took his hands off the steering wheel, looking as if he was overwhelmed with joy. Looking at the traffic light in front her, Lin Shanchu reminded, Its greenlight. Huo Xunzhou quickly started the car. After driving for some distance, he turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Xunzhou was waiting for her answer. She smiled at him and replied, Alright. Huo Xunzhous lips squirmed. He wanted to say something but did not know what to say. He looked confused yet excited, and his usual calm and reserved look was nowhere to be seen. Lin Shanchu said, Drive properly. Huo Xunzhou nodded vigorously as he replied, Alright. He answered so seriously that he looked a little silly. Lin Shanchu felt that his uncle was right. Huo Xunzhou was indeed a little silly. Huo Xunzhou parked the car outside Lin Shanchus house. Ill pick you up tomorrow morning. Wait for me at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9:30 a.m. Alright. Although Huo Xunzhou wanted to pick Lin Shanchu up and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together, her tone was serious. Therefore, he did not insist on doing so. Although Lin Shanchu would always pretend to be obedient and make him happy after causing trouble, she always kept her word in such matters. After walking for a distance, Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou standing in front of the car and looking at her from afar. Lin Shanchu stood there for a moment before running back. She ran to Huo Xunzhou and stopped in her tracks. Whats wrong? As soon as Huo Xunzhou finished speaking, thedy in front of him tiptoed and kissed him. Out of habit, Huo Xunzhou reached out and hugged her waist. See you tomorrow. Lin Shanchu pushed him away without hesitation after kissing him. See you tomorrow, Huo Xunzhou replied gently, as if he was carried away by the joy. On the way back, Huo Xunzhou kept thinking about what he should bring and what preparations he should make to get the marriage certificate.. Chapter 386 - 386: He Would Not Die Just Like That, Would He? Chapter 386 - 386: He Would Not Die Just Like That, Would He? When Huo Xunzhou got home, he took out his phone and scrolled through his contacts several times. In the end, he realized that the people around him were all single. None of them had ever been married. He could only ask his uncle and aunt. However, it had been years since his uncle and aunt got their marriage certificate. It was no longer the same as it used to be, right? Huo Xunzhou thought for a while and turned on the web browser.
He searched online for questions like the process of getting a marriage certificate and what to pay attention to when getting a marriage certificate until midnight. Even so, he woke up early the next morning. He looked at the time. It was only 6:00 a.m. He could not fall asleep, so he got up and walked around the room. Li MO got up to go to the bathroom. He was shocked to see Huo Xunzhou pacing around the living room. Big Brother? What are you doing? I cant sleep, so Im having a walk, Huo Xunzhou said seriously. Li MO was confused. He felt that Huo Xunzhou was acting a little strange. Could it be that Huo Xunzhou was still excited because Lin Shanchu had brought flowers and picked him up from work yesterday? That was not the case Huo Xunzhou saw that Li MO was still standing there, so he beckoned him over. What is it? Li MO saw Huo Xunzhous serious expression and thought that he had something important to tell him, so he walked over nervously. Huo Xunzhou suddenly took him to the walk-in closet. Which one do you think is the best? Huo Xunzhou asked Li MO as he opened the wardrobe doors one by one. As a straight man, Li MO was usually most interested in fighting and shipping Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu. He was stumped by this kind of question. Moreover, Huo Xunzhous wardrobe was full of shirts, suits and coats. They did not look any different. Big Brother, you look good in anything. Li MO scratched his head after thinking for a while. Huo Xunzhou also felt that this question was a little difficult for Li Mo. Therefore, he changed his question. Which outfit do you think Shanshan would like me to wear? Sister-inw? Sister-inw likes you as a person. She probably thinks that you look good in whatever you wear. Huo Xunzhou began to reflect on why he asked Li MO such a question. You can leave. He waved his hand to signal Li MO to leave. After taking two steps outside, Li MO turned around and asked Huo Xunzhou, Big Brother, lets go to the office early today. We can leave at 7:30 a.m. after breakfast. If they set off at 7:30 a.m., they would arrive at thepany at 8:00 a.m. Huo Xunzhou said, I have something to do. Ill go to the officeter. Whats the matter? Li MO was stunned. Huo Xunzhou went to Huo Corporation for his first day of work yesterday, and he was going to bete today? Huo Xunzhou kept quiet and just waved his hand, indicating that he would not tell him. Li MO had no choice but to leave. Huo Xunzhou spent a long time choosing clothes, but he still could not decide which one to wear. After thinking for a moment, he turned on WeChat and found Yun Wus contact. Then, he made a video call to her. The video call connected. Third Brother? As an idol who was on the rise in her career, Yun Wu was busy every day. At this moment, she was already on her way to the event venue. She woke up too early, so she could only catch up on sleep in the car. However, Huo Xunzhous video call came through as soon as she fell asleep. She opened her eyes a little as she asked, Whats the matter? Which one do you think looks good? What? Yun Wu opened her eyes wide and saw an entire row of clothes. Huo Xunzhous requirements for clothes had always been neat and tidy, and he was not that particr. But today, he specially started a video call to ask her which one looked better! Yun Wu woke up immediately. Third Brother, are you getting married? Why are you making it so solemn? Huo Xunzhou cleared his throat and said, You just need to tell me which one looks good. Yun Wu was quick-witted. If Huo Xunzhou was going to attend an important event, he could have asked Lin Shanchu to help him choose the clothes Dont tell me youre really getting married with Shanshan behind my back! Yun Wus voice made the manager and assistant in the car look over. The manager and assistant were also employees of Tianzhou Media. Right after they heard that Huo Xunzhou was the one who had video called Yun Wu, so they had been listening attentively to their conversation. As a behind-the-scenes member of the industry, they had been on the frontlines for gossips. Yesterday, they secretly discussed whether Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou would break up. The manager sneakily mouthed the words to ask Yun Wu, Boss is getting married? Huo Xunzhou knew that he could not hide it from Yun Wu, so he admitted it. Yes, Im going to get the marriage certificate. I still need to prepare for the wedding. I dont care what you wear! Yun Wu screamed, You can wear whatever you want! Its fine if you dont want to wear anything! Yun Wu hung up the video call after saying that. In the end, Lin Shanchu was tricked into getting married to her scheming third brother! Her manager and assistant leaned over. President Huo and Lin Shanchu are getting married? Is it true? I heard him say that hes going to get the marriage certificate? Although Yun Wu hated Huo Xunzhou for giving her too much work, he was still her third brother. They were family after all. Yun Wu reached out and made a hush gesture with her lips. Keep it a secret. The manager and assistant nodded. At 8:00 a.m., Huo Xunzhou set off with his car keys. He dialed Lin Shanchus number when he got into the car. Shanshan, Im leaving. So early? It was only a 40-minute drive from Huo Xunzhous ce to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Theres a traffic jam on the road. Huo Xunzhou forced out an excuse to hide his eagerness. Oh, Ill depart then. Lin Shanchu did not expose him. Ill wait for you at the entrance. Be careful, Huo Xunzhou reminded her again before hanging up the phone. I know. Lin Shanchu dragged out her voice and coquettishly said goodbye to Huo Xunzhou before hanging up the phone. As soon as the call ended, the smile on her face disappeared. She rolled down the car window. Huo Corporation building was diagonally opposite her, and a ck car was slowly driving over from the other side of the intersection. Her gaze fell on the license te. Thats right, it was Huo Zhuxius car. When Huo Zhuxiu asked her out for dinner, she already memorized his car te number. Lin Shanchu adjusted her mask and cap while facing the rearview mirror. After confirming that Wen Huan might not be able to recognize her even with the camera, she stepped on the elerator and mmed into Huo Zhuxius car. Wham! A loud bang was heard. The scene became chaotic. The security guards swarmed out of the building. Lin Shanchu was momentarily dizzy from the impact. When she finally regained her senses, she felt a warm liquid seeping out of her forehead. She reached out and felt the blood on her hand. President Huo! In the opposite car, the driver got out of the car and opened the backseat door before nervously asking about Huo Zhuxius condition. Lin Shanchu stared at them carefully for a moment. Then, she smiled happily. It seemed that Huo Zhuxiu did not put on his seatbelt. He would not die just like that, would he? It would felt like sweet revenge if he did.. Chapter 387 - 387: I Don’t Think We’re Suitable For Each Other Chapter 387 - 387: I Dont Think Were Suitable For Each Other Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Zhuxius injuries were rather serious. The driver dared not touch him and could only take out his phone to call an ambnce. Huo Zhuxiu sensed Lin Shanchus gaze and looked at her warily. The two of them looked at each other through the windshield, barely able to see each other clearly. Lin Shanchu only had two eyes exposed. The corners of her eyes were curved into a provocative arc. After that, Lin Shanchu started the car and drove away.
Although Huo Zhuxiu did not get a good look at Lin Shanchus face, he could tell that the car belonged to Huo Chaosheng. With that provocative look in her eyes, he had a vague guess in his mind. After the driver called the ambnce, he was about to call the police. However, Huo Zhuxiu stopped him. Dont call the police. Got it. Although the driver was puzzled, he did not dare to ask further questions. Lin Shanchu drove the car to a deserted ce and took out the first aid kit that she had prepared beforehand to treat her wound. The wound was located in the hair above the hairline and the position was a little tricky, but fortunately, the wound was not deep and the bleeding stopped quickly. Lin Shanchu briefly treated the wound and looked at herself in the mirror. After making sure that it was not easily noticed, she ruffled her hair to cover the wound. Then, she took out the makeup bag and touched up her makeup before abandoning the car and leaving. It was 8:42 a.m. There was plenty of time for her to arrive at the Civil Affairs Bureau at the appointed time. Lin Shanchu hailed a taxi. Sir, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Lin Shanchu was in a good mood and started humming after getting into the taxi. Finally, she managed to collect the debt that Huo Zhuxiu owed her before the new year. Are you going to get married? the driver asked with a smile while looking at her. Yes, I am, Lin Shanchu replied casually. It seems like youre getting along well with your marriage partner. Congrattions. Thank you. Lin Shanchu smiled and thanked him. When the taxi stopped, Lin Shanchu rolled down the window and pointed at Huo Xunzhou, who was standing at the door, and said, Sir, thats my boyfriend. He is really good-looking. You two are a match made in heaven! The smile on Lin Shanchus face grew even more radiant. She nced at the meter. When she scanned the code to pay the fee, she entered an extra zero. After she got out of the taxi, she heard the driver call her from behind, Missy, did you key the wrong amount? I didnt. Lin Shanchu turned around and said, Sir, may your business flourish. Today was a good day. She should share her good mood with others. The days were short and the nights were long in winter. In the early morning, a man in a suit stood at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. His handsome eyes were so gentle that they looked unreal. Lin Shanchu started running. Huo Xunzhou! An impatient mood overwhelmed her like a flood with a hint of strange panic. Lin Shanchu ran faster and faster. She saw Huo Xunzhou frown and say something. The two of them were quite far apart. She could not hear him clearly, but she could vaguely tell that he mouthed the words, Shanshan, slow down. As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out for his phone. It was unknown who called him, but he looked serious when he answered the phone. When Lin Shanchu ran up to him, he just hung up the phone. Huo Xunzhou smiled when he saw her. He extended his hand towards Lin Shanchu and said, Lets go in. Alright. Lin Shanchu happily ced her hand in his. The two of them turned around and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau together. However, Huo Xunzhou suddenly stopped after taking two steps. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou frowning with an unusually grave expression. Whats wrong? Im fine, Huo Xunzhou said slowly after a few seconds. The two of them walked over to line up. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou from time to time. She felt that Huo Xunzhou was acting a little strange. Was it because of the phone call just now? Huo Zhuxiu was a big shot in the business world, and he would be on the news if there was anymotion. Even though Lin Shanchu had not checked online, she knew that Huo Zhuxius car ident must have been on the news. Even if someone had told him that Huo Zhuxiu had met with a car ident when Huo Xunzhou answered the call, he would not have reacted so strongly given his rtionship with Huo Zhuxiu. Could it be that he had already guessed that she was the one who drove into Huo Zhuxiu? Lin Shanchu was a little flustered. Huo Xunzhou usually went along with her in everything, but when it came to matters of principle, he usually would not back down. Especially when it was a matter of life and death. Logically speaking, Huo Xunzhou would definitely be furious if he knew that she had driven into Huo Zhuxiu. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou did not look angry at all. Instead, there was a hint of doubt. Im a little thirsty, Lin Shanchu said tentatively. There was a water dispenser in the hall. Huo Xunzhou turned around to pour her some water. After she finished drinking, he took the disposable paper cup from her hand and threw it into the trash can. He was gentle and patient as usual. Obviously, he still did not know that she had driven into Huo Zhuxiu. In that case, what was the problem? Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and pondered for a moment. Then, she took out her phone and turned it off in front of Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou looked down at her with a questioning gaze. Lin Shanchu reached into his pocket and took out his phone, turning it off. In case someone disturb us. Both of them had their phones turned off. At least, he would not know that she had driven into Huo Zhuxiu before they got their marriage certificate. Forget it, getting married to him came first. Even if he were to get angryter, he would not be so heartless as to divorce her, right? What if I miss an important call? Huo Xunzhous eyes were full of indulgence. What phone call is more important than me? Lin Shanchu blinked at him. Huo Xunzhou made a fist and ced it against his lips. After suppressing his smile, he quickly lowered his head and whispered in her ear, No. No phone call was more important than her. Lin Shanchu raised her chin and smiled in satisfaction. Finally, it was their turn. Everything went smoothly from the process of taking photos to filling in the form. Lin Shanchu signed her name without hesitation. When she turned to look at Huo Xunzhou, she realized that he was holding a pen and had not signed his name yet. Lin Shanchu was stunned. She turned sideways and looked up, only to see his face full of struggle and hesitation. Huo Xunzhou? she called his name softly, not trying to urge him. Instead, she was puzzled. She never thought that she would see a look of struggle and hesitation on Huo Xunzhous face. Furthermore, it happened when he was registering his marriage with her. She knew better than anyone that Huo Xunzhou loved her wholeheartedly. She once used Huo Xunzhous favoritism to provoke him without restraint. Huo Xunzhou slowly turned his head to look at her withplex emotions surging in his deep eyes. I dont think were suitable for each other. It was a voice that Lin Shanchu had heard countless times. She took a few seconds to confirm that Huo Xunzhou had said those words himself.. Then she asked him calmly, Do you know what youre saying? Chapter 388 - 388: Good Girl, Everything Will Be Fine Chapter 388 - 388: Good Girl, Everything Will Be Fine Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu, lets part on good terms. Huo Xunzhou put down the pen with an indifferent look on his face, as if he was discussing a business deal. Although Lin Shanchu never thought that she would be separated from Huo Xunzhou one day, she would ept it if the two of them really ended up like this. Huo Xunzhou was a decent lover. He had the ability to handle rtionships properly.
Even if he wanted to break up with her, he should have brought it up in a more mature way instead of blurting out that they should part on good terms. It was ridiculous. Lin Shanchu could not convince herself to ept it. What happened? Miss Lin, do you need me to give you a ride? Huo Xunzhou took a step back and distanced himself from her, looking gentlemanly and cold. Lin Shanchu looked at him in disbelief as her rationality crumbled gradually. Huo Xunzhou, Ill give you a chance to apologize now! Huo Xunzhou turned around and left as if he did not hear her. Lin Shanchu stood still with her hands trembling in anger. After a few seconds, Lin Shanchu calmed down and ran out. She ran to the entrance and looked around, but Huo Xunzhou was nowhere to be seen. He actually left! Lin Shanchu lowered her head and took out her phone. Just as she pressed the power button, a car stopped in front of her. Lin Shanchu was overjoyed. When she raised her head and saw the face that was exposed by the lowered car window, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. Shanshan, long time no see. Lu Shiyuan looked at her with a smile and said, Its not easy to hail a taxi here. Do you want me to give you a ride? Even though he deliberately slowed down his voice, he could not hide the ruthlessness in his eyes. After spending a few months in prison, Lu Shiyuans aura had be even more sinister. Lin Shanchu shouted expressionlessly, Get lost! Why do you have to be like this? We are destined lovers after all. Lu Shiyuan smiled unabated with a confident and rxed tone. Lin Shanchu immediately took out her phone and called some reporter. I saw Lu Shiyuan at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Come over quickly. After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu stared at Lu Shiyuan without blinking. There was no warmth in her clear eyes. Lu Shiyuans expression changed slightly as he asked, Who did you call? Lin Shanchu silently curled her lips. Lu Shiyuan suddenly reacted. Reporters? Lin Shanchu, Ive got to hand it to you! Lu Shiyuan was once a big shot in the entertainment industry. Even if his reputation was ruined, there was still some attention on him. Moreover, Lu Shiyuan should be in prison at this time. It was going to be big news no matter what. The reporters naturally would not let go of this big news. Lu Shiyuan stepped on the elerator and was about to leave. Lin Shanchu slowly walked to the front of the car and curled her lip slightly. Whats the rush? The reporters will be here soon. Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth and gripped the steering wheel tightly. After a moment, he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and looked in the direction Lu Shiyuan left with disappointment. Then, she turned around and got into Lu Shiyuans car. Although she could not see Lu Shiyuans pathetic face anymore, it was nice that she managed to pick up a car and drive away. Anyway, it was not easy to hail a taxi here. Lin Shanchu drove the car to the city and parked it in a random parking lot before taking a taxi home. When she got home, Lin Suguang was cleaning his cameras. Cameras of different sizes filled the coffee table. Youre back so soon? Lin Suguang looked up at her and then lowered his head to continue wiping his precious camera. Uncle Lin Shanchu walked straight towards him, sounding aggrieved. Lin Suguang quickly dragged a single sofa chair to a meter away from the coffee table before pushing Lin Shanchu to sit on it. Sit here. Lin Shanchu did not know whether tough or cry for a moment when she saw Lin Suguang looking like he was afraid that she would touch his cameras. Feeling aggrieved, she pouted and asked, Uncle, am I more important or are the cameras more important? Only then did Lin Suguang realize that something was wrong with Lin Shanchu. Whats wrong? Lin Suguang quickly put down the camera in his hand and ran up to Lin Shanchu. After that, he leaned over and supported himself on his knees to look at her expression. Didnt you happily go out to register your marriage with Xunzhou this morning? Did something happen? How did you know that I went to register my marriage with Huo Xunzhou? She had told Lin Suguang in advance that she nned to register her marriage with Huo Xunzhou, but she did not say that she nned to do it today. When I passed by your roomst night, I saw you sneakily stuffing the household register into your bag. You left early in the morning and didnt even let me and Hexiang see you off. If you was not going to get your marriage certificate, what were you doing? Although Lin Suguang had spent very little time with Lin Shanchu, it did not affect his understanding of her. Lin Shanchu reached out and pulled Lin Suguang to the armrest of the sofa chair. She hugged his arm and leaned against him before she whispered, Huo Xunzhou said that were not suitable for each other. He ran away without signing his name. Lin Suguang abruptly turned his head to look at her, wondering if she was joking. However, after carefully observing Lin Shanchus expression, he frowned and replied, Did Huo Xunzhou go crazy? I also think he went crazy Lin Shanchu sobbed after her voices trailed off and the emotions that she had been holding back all the way burst out. Lin Suguang patted her back and coaxed her softly. Good girl, everything will be fine. Ill help you deal with him. Lin Shanchu sniffed and said in a muffled voice, Dont Lin Suguang replied, Huh? Lin Shanchu wiped away her tears and lifted her head from Lin Suguangs embrace. Then, she said slowly, Ill deal with him myself. That calm look of hers no longer showed signs of sadness. Lin Suguang was stunned. For some reason, he felt that Huo Xunzhou was in trouble. Take it easy. You dont have to be too harsh. Even if you break up with him, hes still your boss, right? Youre right. Lin Shanchu nodded obediently, as if she hadpletely listened to Lin Suguangs words. Lin Shanchu changed the topic and asked Lin Suguang, Arent you going to be a judge for somepetition? Why arent you going? Ill go in the afternoon. Take me with you. She did not really want to stay at home alone now. Alright. In the afternoon, Lin Suguang went out with Lin Shanchu. The moment the two of them arrived at the venue, they attracted everyones attention. They had simr eyebrows, superior body proportions and outstanding temperament. Moreover, one of them was Lin Shanchu. It was difficult not to attract the peoples attention. Lin Shanchu sat in the audience, receiving gazes from all directions. However, most people went to take group photos with Lin Suguang when thepetition ended. It was because most of the people who came to the venue were photography students. Lin Shanchu knew nothing about photography. She only knew that Lin Suguang had won many awards. ording to the current situation, her uncle was probably considered a big shot in the photography industry. Lin Shanchu sat quietly in her seat and waited. Shanshan! Huo Xunzhous voice suddenly rang in her ears. Lin Shanchu looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou standing in front of her, panting.. Chapter 389 - 389: So What If You Are the Male Lead? Chapter 389 - 389: So What If You Are the Male Lead? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes with her long legs crossed, looking nonchnt. Mr. Huo, whats the matter? Huo Xunzhou looked anxious as he said, This morning He opened his mouth anxiously, but he suddenly fell silent after saying those few words. Then, he changed his expression and his tone became cold.
Ive already made it very clear at the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning. Miss Lin, I believe you are not a persistent person. After finished speaking, Huo Xunzhou showed a cold look and raised his hand to look at the time on his watch. Then, he continued, I have a dinner appointment with Miss Cheng. Im sorry I cant keep youpany. Lin Shanchu was confused. Huo Xunzhou deliberately came to her just to tell her that he had asked Miss Cheng out for dinner? Miss Cheng? Who else could it be other than Cheng Fanjing? Lin Shanchu gasped in rage. Huo Xunzhous series of actions today confused her, but at the same time, she felt a sense of familiarity. Lin Shanchu took a deep breath to calm herself down. Soon, she noticed something strange. Someone was looking at her. Lin Shanchu focused her senses for a moment before suddenly turning her head to look behind her. Sitting at the seat five or six rows away from her, a tall ck-d man was pulling down the brim of his hat. In addition, he slightly lowered his head, so his face waspletely covered. Even if Lin Shanchu could not see the mans face, she could tell that he was Lu Shiyuan just by looking at his figure. She and Lu Shiyuan had known each other since they were young. They were so familiar with each other that it was difficult for them not to recognize each other. Something was wrong. Lin Suguang met Lu Shiyuan at the airport on the day he returned to the country. Lin Shanchu did not overthink it other than worrying that Lu Shiyuan would attack Lin Suguang like in the original book. However, she suddenly met Lu Shiyuan twice today. In the morning at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Huo Xunzhou suddenly said that they were unsuitable for each other when he was signing the paper. As soon as he left, Lu Shiyuan appeared. Just now, Lu Shiyuan appeared right after Huo Xunzhou left. If it was too much of a coincidence, it was man-made! Lin Shanchu stood up and strode towards Lu Shiyuan. When Lu Shiyuan saw Lin Shanchuing over, he got up and ran out. Lin Shanchu quickened her pace and chased after him. Lin Suguang was surrounded by a group of students who were asking him all sorts of questions, but still he took the time to pay attention to Lin Shanchus movements. When he saw Lin Shanchu running out, he also pushed his way through the crowd and rushed out. Shanshan! Even though he did not know what had happened, it must be something serious to make Lin Shanchu to lose herposure and run uncontrobly. It was already dinnertime and there were peopleing and going outside. Lu Shiyuan did not run far away. In a sh of inspiration, Lin Shanchu shouted, Catch the thief! The warm-hearted citizens quickly helped her grab Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan was probably traumatized when Lin Shanchu said that she had notified the reporters in the morning. He was now wearing a hat and a mask, fully covered like a superstar. What kind of man would steal from a woman instead of working hard? Thats right. You even cover yourself up. You know that youre too ashamed to face others, right? Everyone, thank you for your help. Ill take him to the police now. He cant escape. Lin Shanchu thanked everyone gently and pulled Lu Shiyuan over. Lu Shiyuan subconsciously wanted to break free, but after struggling twice, he realized that he could not break free at all. Someone saw what happened and even kicked Lu Shiyuans leg enthusiastically. You still want to run? Behave yourself! Lu Shiyuans legs went numb and he barely managed to stand firm by supporting himself against the wall. It looked like he could not run away. Lin Shanchu finally let go of her hand. At this moment, Lin Suguang ran over. Shanshan, what happened? Lin Shanchus expression changed and soon returned to normal. I caught a thief. Although she was a little worried that Lin Suguang would encounter Lu Shiyuan, some things could not be avoided just by worrying about him. She had to face it eventually. Anyway, she would not give Lu Shiyuan the chance toy his hands on her uncle again. Lin Suguang reached out and pulled down Lu Shiyuans mask as if he sensed something. After seeing Lu Shiyuans face clearly, he sneered. Lets chat. Lin Suguang almost squeezed these words out from between his teeth. After saying that, he dragged Lu Shiyuan to the parking lot. Thank you for your help, everyone. Well take the thief to the police station now. Lin Shanchu politely thanked the crowd once again. After Lin Shanchu walked far away, someone in the crowd said, Thisdy looks a little familiar. She seems to be that person from the TV. I remember now, its Mus! The one in Top Feast? Her real name seems to be Lin Shanchu. Who was the man with her just now? Isnt she dating Huo Xunzhou? But she is quite gentle and polite. Theres a reason why celebrities can be famous. Its normal for them to be gentle and polite When Lin Shanchu went over, Lin Suguang already stuffed Lu Shiyuan into the car and was about to use his fists to chat with him. Lin Shanchu opened the other door and got into the car. Lu Shiyuan was sandwiched between her and Lin Suguang. Since he could not run away, Lu Shiyuan suddenly rxed. As if he was chatting, he turned to Lin Shanchu and said, Your body looks much better than before. As he spoke, he moved the arm that Lin Shanchu had grabbed earlier. Lin Shanchu looked no different from before, but his grip was extremely strong. Lin Shanchu looked at Lu Shiyuan expressionlessly, but she directed her words at Lin Suguang. Uncle, get out of the car and wait for me. Lin Suguang looked at her worriedly, whereas Lin Shanchu returned aforting gaze. It was gentle and calm, but it was inexplicably convincing. Lin Suguang hesitated for a moment before getting out of the car. Lin Shanchu watched as the car door closed. Then, she slowly turned to look at Lu Shiyuan. What do you mean by destined lover? Lu Shiyuan said those words at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau in the morning. At that time, Lin Shanchu did not care about Lu Shiyuan as he had always been crazy. However, what happened after that made her think twice. Lu Shiyuan turned to look at her. His deep eyes were filled with unspeakable pleasure as he said, No matter what happens, we will end up together. Lin Shanchu asked calmly, Why are you so confident? Lu Shiyuan had an inscrutable look on his face as he replied, There are many things in this world that cannot be exined or resisted. You should understand this better than me. Lin Shanchu fixed her gaze on Lu Shiyuan and slowly sat up straight before she muttered, I cant resist But wasnt my resistance sessful? Lin Shanchu smirked coldly. You should know this better than anyone else. The rxed and happy expression on Lu Shiyuans face froze in an instant. His reaction confirmed Lin Shanchus thoughts. So what if you are the male lead? You have now be a detestable lowlife, havent you? Chapter 390 - 390: Miss Lin, You Are Disturbing Mr. Huo and Me Chapter 390 - 390: Miss Lin, You Are Disturbing Mr. Huo and Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion There must be a reason why Lu Shiyuan dared to say destined lovers so confidently. There must be a reason for Huo Xunzhous sudden change. Huo Xunzhou called her Shanshan when he appeared in front of her out of breath, but in the blink of an eye, he called her Miss Lin coldly. Huo Xunzhou was a firm and decisive person by nature. He would not be so capricious unless he had no choice. Like in the past, she could not publicly announce the annulment of the engagement before Lu Shiyuans reputation was ruined.
All these changes were enough to show that the plot was once again controlled by an even more powerful force. It was not just Huo Xunzhou. It was possible that everyone would be involuntarily controlled by the plot. However, why was this happening? Everything went smoothly. Lu Shiyuan no longer had the male lead aura! Lu Shivuan grimaced and his eves were filled with sunpressed anger. But this is not the end. Everything is not over and you cant win. Lu Shiyuanughed after he finished speaking. Lin Shanchu clenched her fists and stared coldly at Lu Shiyuan. She was right. As long as Lu Shiyuan was alive, everything would not end. Lu Shiyuan had to die! Lin Shanchus clear eyes were still fixed on Lu Shiyuans back, but she quietly reached into her bag and pulled out a delicate dagger. Lu Shiyuan was still in his sweet dream and did not notice Lin Shanchus actions. On the other hand, Lin Suguang, who was standing outside the car, had been observing the situation inside the car through the windshield from the side. He noticed Lin Shanchu pulling out a dagger at the first moment. Shocked, he took two steps forward to open the car door. Shanshan, its gettingte. Im hungry. Lets go and have dinner! Lin Shanchu immediately retracted her hand that was holding the dagger in her bag. The worry in Lin Suguangs eyes made Lin Shanchu understand that he saw the dagger. Alright. She did not want Lin Suguang to worry too much. Lin Shanchu put away the dagger and kicked Lu Shiyuan out of the car expressionlessly. You Lin Shanchu interrupted Lu Shiyuan, Its up to me to decide whether I can win or not. Lin Suguang pushed Lu Shiyuan away, mmed the car door and quickly drove away. It was as if he was worried that if he was a secondte, Lin Shanchu would rush out of the car and stab Lu Shiyuan. After a while, Lin Shanchu realized that Lin Suguang had driven the car back to its original spot. After a moment of hesitation, Lin Shanchu asked, Uncle, why dont you let me drive? Lin Suguang said awkwardly. Its alright, I can do it. It was fake. He was extremely flustered. His gentle and cute niece actually dared to stab someone with a dagger! He dared not believe it at first, but soon, he med himself. He felt that he had failed his duty as an uncle. She must have had a hard time these years. Otherwise, how could a good person be forced into such a state? What do you want to eat? Lin Suguang asked after heposed himself. Lin Shanchu muttered to herself, Go to Boya Hotel. Lin Suguang drove straight to Boya Hotel without a word. Lin Shanchu initially wanted to go to the revolving restaurant, but she had to make a reservation in advance. Right after Lin Shanchu sat down, she heard someone calling her name. Lin Shanchu! Lin Shanchu looked around. Im over here, behind you Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Jiang Weizhu. She met Jiang Weizhust time when she went out to have fun with Wen Huan and the others. Although the two of them had not seen each other for so long, they did not feel particrly unfamiliar. Lin Shanchu waved at her. Jiang Weizhu immediately got up and jogged over. I saw your man go with thedy from the Cheng family Shanshan, what do you want to eat? Lin Suguang had his head lowered and was focused on the menu. He did not notice Jiang Weizhuing over and identally interrupted her. Im fine with anything. Uncle, you can order whatever you want. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Jiang Weizhu after she finished speaking, hoping that she would finish her words earlier. Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she saw Jiang Weizhu staring at Lin Suguang in a daze. Lin Shanchu blinked and called out, Miss Jiang? What? Oh, where was I just now? Jiang Weizhu perfunctorily turned her head and nced at Lin Shanchu. Then, she sat down beside Lin Shanchu naturally and kept staring at Lin Suguang. Lin Shanchu looked at Lin Suguang without batting an eyelid and said slowly, You said you saw my man and the Cheng familys Theyre dining at the revolving restaurant. Hurry up if you want to catch him cheating on you. Jiang Weizhu brushed her hair behind her ear and straightened her skirt. Then, she spoke in a high-pitched voice. This gentleman is Jiang Weizhus stance clearly showed that she had taken a fancy to her uncle. Uncle, my friend is talking to you. Lin Suguang raised his head and replied, Hello, Im Shanshans uncle, Lin Suguang. Im Jiang Weizhu. Jiang Weizhu extended her hand towards Lin Suguang with sparkling eyes. Lin Suguang reached out and shook hands with Jiang Weizhu. Lin Shanchu clearly saw that when Jiang Weizhu let go of Lin Suguangs hand, she rubbed it ambiguously. Lin Suguang blushed on the spot. Lin Shanchu looked at Jiang Weizhu in a daze. Arent you going to catch him cheating on you? Jiang Weizhu asked Lin Shanchu. Did Jiang Weizhu think that she an eyesore? Lin Shanchu stood up slowly and said, Ill go now. Shanshan, Ill go too Lin Suguang had never experienced this kind of situation, but he knew what was going on. He did not dare to look Jiang Weizhu in the eye. I can do it myself. Lin Shanchu picked up her phone and ran off. Lin Suguang got up and wanted to follow her. Shanshan Mr. Lin. Lin Suguang turned around when he heard Jiang Weizhus voice. She stared at him, looking dignified. You and Lin Shanchu really look alike. Lin Suguang almost suspected that the person who touched his hand just now was not the woman in front of him. Many people say that we look alike. Are you her biological uncle? I am. Dont just stand there. Sit down and talk. Oh. Lin Shanchu walked into the revolving restaurant and headed straight for the table with the best view. When the young master of the Huo family and the youngdy of the Cheng family had dinner together, they would definitely choose the best table in the best restaurant. Sure enough, she saw Huo Xunzhou and Cheng Fanjing at the table with the best view. The two of them sat face to face. Cheng Fanjing was all smiles. Although Huo Xunzhou did not smile, his expression was naturally rxed. They chatted andughed together. It did not seem that Huo Xunzhou was wronged. Lin Shanchu walked over, threw her phone on the table and sat down beside Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu! Cheng Fanjings expression changed as soon as she saw Lin Shanchu, but it quickly returned to normal. Miss Lin, you are disturbing me and Mr. Huo. She had utterly embarrassed herself at the socialite tea partyst time, so it was time to get back at Lin Shanchu! Huo Xunzhou said impatiently, Lin Shanchu However, the rest of his words were automatically silenced by Lin Shanchus actions right after he opened his mouth.. Chapter 391 - 391: Who Is Your Official Partner? Chapter 391 - 391: Who Is Your Official Partner? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Cheng Fanjing was also shocked by Lin Shanchus actions. After a while, Cheng Fanjing finally found her voice. Lin Shanchu, what are you doing? When Huo Xunzhou spoke just now, Lin Shanchu got up and kicked the sofa chair away, sitting directly on hisp. Lin Shanchu hugged Huo Xunzhous neck and leaned into his embrace with an innocent expression. Im billing and cooing with my big baby. You Cheng Fanjing was bereft of speech for a moment as she had never seen such a shameless person.
Lin Shanchu did not look at Cheng Fanjing and twirled slender fingers around Huo Xunzhous tie. Miss Cheng, youre disturbing us. Lin Shanchu was a crazy woman. Cheng Fanjing could not do anything to her, so she shifted the me to Huo Xunzhou. Mr. Huo, you purposely invited me to dinner because you wanted me to see you and Ms. Lin acting lovey-dovey, right? Lin Shanchu felt Huo Xunzhous hand on her waist tighten slightly, as if he wanted to push her away. She suddenly retracted her fingers that were circling around the tie and whispered in Huo Xunzhous ear, Brother Xunzhou, youll be dead meat if you dare to push me away now. Lin Shanchu saw Huo Xunzhou curling his lip imperceptibly, but he continued to push her away. Lin Shanchu paused for a moment and pressed down on his hand. She could feel his hands struggling. Cheng Fanjing did not wait for Huo Xunzhou to speak. She stood up with a swoosh and shouted, Huo Xunzhou, Im afraid itll be difficult if you want to ask me out again! Cheng Fanjing left angrily. In the next moment, Lin Shanchu felt Huo Xunzhou, who was still struggling, rx and hug her tightly. After a long while, he finally called out to her in a hoarse voice. Shanshan. It was a simple word filled withplicated emotions. Lin Shanchu pushed him away and stood up. Huo Xunzhou seemed to be afraid that she would leave in anger, so he hurriedly stood up and said, Shanshan Lin Shanchu did not leave. Instead, she just sat down on the sofa chair beside him. Huo Xunzhou heaved a sigh of relief. The next second, he suddenly grabbed her hand. You Lin Shanchu pursed her lips. She would not run away, so why was he grabbing her hand? However, when she saw Huo Xunzhous eager look, she said nothing and just stared at him expressionlessly. Huo Xunzhou lowered his voice and began to exin himself. I didnt mean what I said at the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning. I went to the photographypetition to look for you because I wanted to exin what happened at the Civil Affairs Bureau to you, but when I stood in front of you, I couldnt exin anything. My words and actions are being controlled by an invisible force. This matter is beyond my understanding, but it is real. After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Shanchu nervously. He seemed to be worried that Lin Shanchu would distrust him, but he was mentally prepared just in case. Lin Shanchu slowly sat up straight and asked, Have you encountered this kind of situation before? After Huo Xunzhou left the Civil Affairs Bureau today, he thought about this question carefully. There have been simr situations. When? I remember clearly the cocktail party not long after we met. I didnt want to attend the party at first, but I somehow ended up going to the cocktail party because of a strong psychological cue. A cocktail party? Lin Shanchu remembered that it was the cocktail party where Huo Xunzhou made his first appearance after retiring from the entertainment industry a year ago. In the original book, Huo Xunzhou did not make his first appearance at a cocktail party after a year of retirement. The cocktail party that Huo Xunzhou attended had brought forward the time of his appearance. Back then, Lin Shanchu thought that Huo Xunzhou made his public appearance early becasue her awakening had affected the plots direction. Now, it seemed that it was not that simple. Other than that, when else have you encountered such a situation? Today. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and continued, The situation today is different from the day of the cocktail party. That cocktail party simply brought me back into the public eye ealier without causing any negative effects. Compared to the situation at the cocktail party, what happened today was filled with malice. When he and Lin Shanchu were registering their marriage, he was stopped from signing the paper at thest moment. Moreover, he was even made to say harsh remarks and leave Lin Shanchu behind. Lin Shanchu raised her eyes and looked around. Huo Xunzhou, have you ever doubted the authenticity of the world you live Huo Xunzhou raised his head when he heard her voice, only to find that there was no one else in the revolving restaurant that was full just now. There was not even a passing waiter. The revolving restaurant was full all year round, and now it was dinner time. How could there be no customers? This waspletely illogical. Yes, this is very illogical. Lin Shanchu guessed what Huo Xunzhou was thinking and turned to look at him. In a novel, all the scenarios serve the needs of the plot. Just like when she first woke up in the hospital, the hospital that was supposed to be overcrowded was empty. She almost had nowhere to call for help under Lu Shiyuans pursuit. Common sense was not important because everything served the plot. As long as the plot required it, any unimaginable scene could be real. A novel? Huo Xunzhou caught the key word in Lin Shanchus words. Yes, the characters in the novel are also pre-set. Logics andmon sense are not important. They only need to do what they should do ording to the setting, follow the plot andplete the ending that was set in advance. Lin Shanchuughed after she finished speaking. She was too experienced in this kind of thing. Huo Xunzhou was silent for a while and looked at her with a serious expression. Back in Xu City, I asked Li MO to check all the hospitals but he couldnt find your medical records. It was because the plot was set so that no one else could Imow about your illness, right? Thats right. Lin Shanchu held his hand in her palm as if she was rewarding him. Huo Xunzhou was so smart. Huo Xunzhou connected the dots again and asked thoughtfully, So, Im not your official partner in the current plot and we cant be together? Official partner? Lin Shanchu was amused by his statement and replied, You can say so. Huo Xunzhous expression becameplicated, and Lin Shanchu could not understand him. Who is your official partner? In the past, he would asionally check the audiencesments after he finished filming. The audience often mentioned the words official partner. In literary works, the main character was always set in advance. If the world they were in was really a novel world, then Lin Shanchu must have her own official partner. Lin Shanchu realized that this topic was getting dangerous. I dont know. Lets have dinner first. Although the scenarios served the plot, she was still a living person who would feel hungry.. Chapter 392 - 392: She Should Be The One Being Controlled Chapter 392 - 392: She Should Be The One Being Controlled Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Of course, Huo Xunzhou would not allow her to brush him off like that. Its Lu Shiyuan, isnt it? Lin Shanchu nodded honestly. It really is him, Huo Xunzhou sneered after a long silence. Lin Shanchu peeked at Huo Xunzhou and was caught red-handed.
Lin Shanchu came at the right time. The dishes were all served, but Cheng Fanjing did not even touch a single piece of food. Lin Shanchu ran to the opposite side and sat down, eating happily. Huo Xunzhou had a lot of questions to ask Lin Shanchu, but he stopped speaking when he saw that she was eating dinner happily. Are you affected? Huo Xunzhou asked after Lin Shanchu finished eating and putting down the chopsticks. Not at the moment. Lin Shanchu frowned and thought for a moment before she asked, I met Lu Shiyuan twice in a day. Is that considered an influence? Why not? Huo Xunzhou hid his intent underneath his calm expression. Lin Shanchu blinked and said, Then it can be considered an influence. From Huo Xunzhous expression, it was not hard to tell that the fact that she met Lu Shiyuan twice in a day had a huge impact on him. Lin Shanchu sat down obediently after she finished speaking. She dared notugh at him, nor did she dare to say anything to provoke him. Strangely enough, Huo Xunzhou was the first to be affected when the plot restarted. Why did it happen? Why would Huo Xunzhous words and actions be controlled if he was just a major supporting character? She should be the one being controlled. After all, she was the female lead of the entire story. Controlling her was the only way to keep the direction of the entire story in check. What was the use of controlling Huo Xunzhou? As long as she did not want to be with Lu Shiyuan, the ending of the story would never be the same as in the original book. When Lin Shanchu was distracted, Huo Xunzhou kept staring at her hair. What happened to your hair? Hmm? Lin Shanchu looked at him in confusion. She had been in the crew for more than four months and had no time to trim her hair. Her bangs had grown long and now she had long hair in the middle. You dont usuallyb your hair like this, Huo Xunzhou said with discretion, not knowing how to describe it. Lin Shanchu suddenly remembered that after she hit Huo Zhuxiu with her car this morning, she parted her hair in the middle to cover her wound. Huo Xunzhou found out about such a small detail. I think it looks better this way, Lin Shanchu said as she stroked her hair calmly. Both styles look good on you, said Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu thought that she had sessfully fooled him. Shortly afterwards, Huo Xunzhou asked, Have you seen the news? What news? My father was in a car ident. I didnt pay attention Its all because of you! I was not in the mood to watch the news! Lin Shanchu was a little guilty at first, but as she spoke, she became more and more confident. Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes and said in a tense voice, Im sorry. Its not your fault. Lin Shanchu felt guilty. She obediently held his hand andforted him. No matter what happens, I will always believe in you. Huo Xunzhou looked up at her. Lin Shanchu said with a smile, As long as we dont let go of each others hands, our fates will be decided by ourselves. As long as they did not admit defeat, nothing could defeat them. The process might be very difficult, but it did not matter. She had experience. She had Huo Xunzhou. Therefore, she was not afraid at all. Huo Xunzhous expression gradually looked gratified. The smile in his eyes gradually deepened as he said in a low voice, Come over. Lin Shanchu obediently stood up and walked over. Huo Xunzhou pulled her into his arms and said gratifiedly, Shanshan, I didnt expect you to say such positive words tofort someone. The person who once wanted to die finally had renewed hope for life. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou felt that he finally found his way into Lin Shanchus heart. Lin Shanchu was delighted when Huo Xunzhou praised her probably because she had been with him for a long time. Brother Xunzhou, you taught me well. She raised her chin slightly, looking a little proud. Even Lin Shanchu felt that her sweet talk was a little too much. Huo Xunzhou definitely couldnt help but want to kiss her. Lin Shanchu looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou staring at her intently. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she felt a finger gently brushing her hair away, followed by a pleasant voice that carried a dangerous aura. Whats with that wound on your head? Shocked, Lin Shanchu widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at him. Just now, Huo Xunzhou clearly looked like he could not resist kissing her. However, he looked at the wound on her head by a feint! She had never seen a man more scheming than Huo Xunzhou! I identally hurt myself! Lin Shanchu covered her wound, fearing that he would be able to tell that it was not an ordinary injury if he took a closer look. Huo Xunzhou was inhumanly smart. What else couldnt he see through? Huo Xunzhou suddenly changed the topic. Ill take you to practice driving tomorrow? Lin Shanchu was not sure if Huo Xunzhou believed her. She was restless now and kept feeling that there was a trap behind Huo Xunzhous words. She struggled for a long time without making a sound. Huo Xunzhouughed. Why arent you saying anything? Do you not want to practice driving, or He paused on purpose, making Lin Shanchus heart skip a beat. You got your drivers license already? Huo Xunzhou continued after he saw Lin Shanchus uneasy expression. When he asked this question, Lin Shanchu understood that Huo Xunzhou already knew that she had gotten her drivers license before filming ended. Did Brother Qi tell you? Although she was unwilling, whats done was done and there was nothing to hide now. Huo Xunzhou replied, Nan Mu told me. Although Nan Mu was in Xu City, he was still concerned about Lin Shanchus situation. He Xiang told Qi Cheng that Lin Shanchu had gotten her drivers license. When Qi Cheng reported the situation to Nan Mu, he casually mentioned it. Youve been plotting for so long just to do this behind my back. Tell me, should I praise you for being smart and calm, or should I be angry? Judging from the low pressure Huo Xunzhou was emitting, he was already angry. Lin Shanchu lowered her head and said, I was wrong. If she was going to something like this next time, she would certainly do it more discreetly so that Huo Xunzhou find out about it. There wont be a next time! Huo Xunzhou snorted coldly as if he could sense her thoughts. Lin Shanchu nodded obediently. Huo Xunzhou sighed and pulled her up. He picked up his coat and led her out. Where are you going? Lin Shanchu did not know where he was going, but she followed him obediently. Huo Xunzhous expression softened as he said, To bandage your wound properly. Lin Shanchu nodded and replied earnestly, Alright.. Chapter 393 - 393: The System Did Not Disappear, But It Was Transferred Chapter 393 - 393: The System Did Not Disappear, But It Was Transferred Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As they entered the elevator, Lin Shanchu thought of Lin Suguang, whom she had left behind. She wondered how the conversation between her uncle and Jiang Weizhu went. Should she go and take a look? Lin Shanchu nced at Huo Xunzhou. Forget it, her uncle would certainly be able to handle it.
Huo Xunzhou noticed her gaze. Whats the matter? Lin Shanchu shook her head decisively. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou walked all the way to the parking lot, but they did not meet anyone who recognized them. After getting into the car, Lin Shanchu finally remembered to check her phone. There were more than thirty unread messages on WeChat. Lin Suguang: [Shanshan, whats the situation on Huo Xunzhous side?] Lin Suguang: [When are you going toe back?] Lin Suguang: [The dishes are served.] Lin Suguang: [Is Miss Jiang really your friend? I think shes a little weird.] There were many messages in between, either urging Lin Shanchu toe back quickly or saying that Jiang Weizhu was weird. Lin Shanchu scrolled to the bottom and looked at thetest message. Lin Suguang: [Come back quickly! Im scared!] Lin Shanchuughed softly. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at her. Lin Shanchu handed her phone to Huo Xunzhou and pointed at thetest WeChat message. I came over to dine with my uncle earlier, but I met Jiang Weizhu. She seems to have taken a fancy to my uncle. The Jiang familys situation is rtively simple. A few years ago, Miss Jiangs parents divorced and the family business was divided equally. Miss Jiang changed her surname to her mothers and now inherited the family business. She has outstanding abilities among her peers. He carefully analyzed the situation of the Jiang family for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu smiled at him and said, It sounds like the Jiang familys situation is indeed quite simple. If my uncle and she have mutual feelings for each other, it will be a good marriage. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou chuckled in response. Suddenly, Huo Xunzhou stopped the car by the roadside and shouted coldly, Get out of the car! Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Lin Shanchu could not react immediately at the drastic change of Huo Xunzhous attitude. Its already over between us, Miss Lin. Please dont pester me anymore, or else Huo Xunzhous gaze turned sharp, but his face was full of struggle and hesitation, as if he was trying to hold back his words. It started again. The plot started to control Huo Xunzhou again. However, when Huo Xunzhou said ruthless words to her fiercely it was quite sensual. Lin Shanchu looked nonchntly at him and even cooperated by frowning slightly. Her tone was aggrieved and pitiful as she said, I wont listen! I know you still love me. Lin Shanchu squeezed out two drops of tears as she spoke. Huo Xunzhou clenched the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He had a frosty look on his face and the struggle in his eyes was clear. Lin Shanchu, I wanted to save you some face, but youre the one who didnt want it. The plot was really ruthless. It made Huo Xunzhou say whatever harsh words. Lin Shanchu was not sad at all. Instead, she started to feel sorry for Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou usually did not even have the heart to say harsh words to her, but now he was forced to do so. Ill get out of the car first. Lin Shanchu could not bear to continue acting with him, so she unbuckled the seatbelt and got out of the car. As soon as she closed the door, the car shot out like an arrow. Lin Shanchu was speechless. What kind of rubbish plot was this? Tch, my Third Brother chased you out of the car? A familiar voice sounded behind her. Lin Shanchu turned around, narrowed her eyes and asked, Huo Chaosheng? Why are you here? To have fun. Huo Chaosheng stuffed his hands into his coat pockets and raised his chin to signal her to look behind her. Lin Shanchu looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a group of people chatting and looking at her. Judging from their attire and temperament, they were a group of rich kids. Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and looked at Huo Chaosheng thoughtfully. You saw everything? Saw what? Your Third Brother parked the car by the roadside and chased me out. Did you see the entire process? I did. Huo Chaosheng gloated and said, Fortunately, my Third Brother has finally thought it through and wants to break up with you. However, I dont really like that Cheng Fanjing either. How can my Third Brother go on a date with her for dinner Ouch! Lin Shanchu kicked Huo Chaosheng hard without any expression on her face. What are you doing? Huo Chaosheng gasped in pain. Lin Shanchu replied, Im not happy. I want to kick someone. Huo Chaosheng was speechless. Lin Shanchu adjusted her coat and turned to walk in the opposite direction of Huo Chaosheng. She seemed to have understood a little about how Huo Xunzhou was controlled by the plot. As long as there was a third person who knew her and Huo Xunzhou present, he could only go against his own will and act indifferent to her. The effect of the plot was to make everyone think that Huo Xunzhou disliked her. In summary, she and Huo Xunzhou were not an official couple in the plot setting, so the plot would try to separate them. In that case, did she and Huo Xunzhou have their own official partner in the new plot? Huo Xunzhou was forced to ask Cheng Fanjing out for dinner tonight. Could it be that Huo Xunzhous official partner was Cheng Fanjing? Then, who would be her official partner in the new plot? Could it be Lu Shiyuan? Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks. Moreover, the plot of forming couples forcefully seemed familiar. That stupid system kept guiding her and even tried to control her through the plot back then, didnt it? The system? When she awakened, the system appeared along with her. The system disappeared after she made Lu Shiyuan sleep with Xia Jinmeng. Was it possible that the stupid system did not disappear, but it was transferred? This would exin why Lu Shiyuan suddenly knew about the plot. The more Lin Shanchu thought about it, the more she felt that this hypothesis was true. It was because the plot that the stupid system made her to follow was all biased towards Lu Shiyuan. A trashy system and a scumbag male lead were a perfect match. Then, there was no doubt about her official partner. It was still that scumbag Lu Shiyuan. As for her, she was still the female lead in the new plot. Not only did she want to kill Lu Shiyuan, but she also wanted to destroy that trashy system. Lin Shanchu, where are you going? Huo Chaosheng shouted at her from behind. Lets y together for a while! When Lin Shanchu heard his voice, she turned around and walked towards Huo Chaosheng. Lets go. Huo Chaosheng was puzzled. Didnt you ask me to y with you? Huo Chaosheng followed behind Lin Shanchu. I didnt think youd actually show up. I feel ufortable after your Third Brother chased me out of the car. Ill drink some wine to relieve my boredom. ording to the plot of the novel, the male lead would show up out of nowhere whenever the female lead got into trouble. She could use this opportunity to stir up some trouble and confirm her guess. Huo Chaosheng was silent for a moment before he said, My Third Brother got together with you in the first ce because of me. You were too immersed in the character.. Chapter 394 - 394: How Could Dignity Be More Important Than Life and Safety? Chapter 394 - 394: How Could Dignity Be More Important Than Life and Safety? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and red at Huo Chaosheng. Shut up! She could tell it. In the new plot, Huo Chaosheng still had a brotherplex. Huo Chaosheng shrugged and shut up cooperatively.
Huo Chaosheng fell silent for three seconds. I didnt expect youd dare to drive into my uncle! The moment he saw the news, he knew that Lin Shanchu was the one who made the move. Lin Shanchu sneered, Your uncle got into a car ident, and you still have the mood toe out and hang out with your friends? Huo Chaosheng looked indifferent and said, I just couldnt be bothered to visit him at the hospital. Thats why I came out to hang out with these people. My Third Brother also went on a date with a woman, didnt he? All the sons in the Huo family were filial. After taking Lin Shanchu into the private room, Huo Chaosheng introduced her to everyone. She is my friend, Lin Shanchu. The people present were all rich kids in the circle and knew about Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. Even though they were all yboys, they were all smart. When they saw Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng appear together, no one said anything. They even enthusiastically arranged a seat for Lin Shanchu. Miss Lin,e over and sit! In the beginning, everyone was polite. However, after three rounds of drinking, everyone became a little presumptuous. The people with female partners started flirting, and some people started discussing women in dirty ways. For example, they talked about the young models who had slept with them, some seemingly innocent rich daughter was actually a ygirl Huo Chaosheng did not participate in the conversation. He was holding his wine sszily and looking at a certain spot absent-mindedly. Lin Shanchu was waiting for some unlucky and ignorant man to mess with her. That woman? She just looks so-so! I feel like shes the same type as Lin Shanchu. I dont think shes as good-looking as Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchus figure Why did you push me? The one who spoke was the man sitting next to Lin Shanchu. He looked drunk with a hazy gaze, and began to speak out of turn. Lin Shanchu had heard someone call him Zhai Ci. The person beside Zhai Ci nudged him, reminding him that Lin Shanchu was sitting beside him and interrupted him. However, Zhai Ci was already drunk. Not only did he not change the topic, he even turned around and looked at Lin Shanchu with a drooling face. Lin Shanchu is indeed pretty. Who wouldnt want to have a bedmate like her? A bedmate. These words were explicit and demeaning to Lin Shanchu. Someone else who was slightly sober reminded him, Zhai Ci, you drank too much! Someone even apologized to Lin Shanchu. Im sorry, Miss Lin. He drank too much. Please dont take it to heart. Although it was an apology, his tone was not sincere. In their eyes, women were no different from ythings. When they had enough fun, they would marry a daughter of an aristocratic family and consolidate their family and status. They were a bunch of trash on par with Lu Shiyuan. They apologized to Lin Shanchu not because they were worried about her emotions, but because they wanted to give Huo Chaosheng face. After all, Lin Shanchu was brought here by Huo Chaosheng. After being reminded by the person next to him, Zhai Ci jolted awake and looked at Huo Chaoshengs expression nervously. However, he saw that Huo Chaosheng did not even blink. And so, everyone knew it in their heart. Huo Chaosheng did not care about Lin Shanchu. Then, a look of realization shed across everyones faces. They no longer had any qualms about making fun of Lin Shanchu. Zhai Ci even boldly squeezed his way to Lin Shanchus side. Zhai Ci, youre about to get engaged. You should restrain yourself. I just want to be friends with Miss Lin. Zhai Cis gaze waspletely fixated on Lin Shanchu as he said, Thew doesnt stipte that engaged people cant make friends. Miss Lin, dont you think so? As Zhai Ci spoke, he reached out to touch Lin Shanchus hand. In front of Lin Shanchu was a fruit tter. Beside the tter was a hard and sharp steel fruit fork. Zhai Ci noticed Lin Shanchus expression and saw that she did not pull her hand away. Instead, she picked up the fruit fork as if she had not noticed anything and was about to eat some fruit. If this was not acquiescence, then what was it? It seemed that this woman was only pretending to be pure on the surface, but she was actually a slut. Just then, Lin Shanchu held the fruit fork and stabbed it into the back of Zhai Cis hand. Half of the fruit forks tines had sunk into the back of Zhai Cis hand. As blood oozed out, Zhai Cis screams rang out. Argh! My hand! The others who were waiting for a good show were all shocked by Lin Shanchus actions. Lin Shanchu, Zhai Ci was just joking with you. What are you doing?! I just identally stabbed his hand when I was forking fruits. Lin Shanchu smiled innocently and raised her hand to remove the fruit fork from Zhai Cis hand. She twisted the fork in Zhai Cis wound, causing blood to spurt out. He then cried out in pain. Lin Shanchu, you f*cking did it on purpose! Zhai Ci raised his hand and wanted to p her. Lin Shanchu quietly kicked Zhai Ci under the table, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Someone spoke up for Zhai Ci. Lin Shanchu, dont go overboard. Thats right. Zhai Ci just wanted to be friends with you. Why dont you give him some face? Now, it was Lin Shanchus fault. Lin Shanchu cared no less about the thoughts of this bunch of trash. Give you face? Do you think youre Huo Chaosheng? Lin Shanchu had a smile on her face and her tone was gentle as usual, but she was unusually arrogant. Unyielding? It did not exist. When faced with a problem, it was natural for her to bring out her powerful friend as a scapegoat. How could dignity be more important than life and safety? Zhai Ci was a piece of cake for her and she could easily deal with him. However, there were a lot of men around her. If she messed with this bunch of trash, they would probably be inhumane. However, it was impossible for her to swallow her anger. Huo Chaosheng choked on his wine when he heard Lin Shanchus words. Am I that respecful? Lin Shanchu never gave him face. Lin Shanchu said with a smile, Of course. The people who confidently questioned Lin Shanchu just now started to get nervous. Huo Chaoshengs previous attitude towards Lin Shanchu was clearly not like this. At this moment, the two of them had a simple conversation, but it seemed like they were close. What was the rtionship between these two people? Huo Chaosheng did notment. He raised his wrist to look at the time and said, Its gettingte. Lets go. Everyone stood up and saw Huo Chaosheng off. When they reached the entrance, Lin Shanchu deliberatelygged behind by two steps. When no one was paying attention, she whispered to Zhai Ci, Trash. Zhai Ci failed to take advantage of Lin Shanchu and was even stabbed by her. He was already filled with anger, so how could he endure the insult from Lin Shanchu? Lin Shanchu, you b*tch! Zhai Ci charged straight at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes as she watched Zhai Ci waving his hand at her without dodging it.. Chapter 395 - 395: Why Is It You? Chapter 395 - 395: Why Is It You? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu closed her eyes silently after seeing that Zhai Cis punch was about tond on her. She felt a little regretful. What if the male lead did not show up out of nowhere? Wouldnt she have to suffer a punch for nothing? Zhai Ci hated her so much that he threw the punch with all his might.
Lin Shanchu started to feel sorry for herself. Forget it. If the male lead did not show up out of nowhere, she would just lie on the ground and y dead after being punched. Then, she would seize the opportunity to extort Zhai Ci. Anyway, she could not suffer a loss. After closing her eyes, his hearing became sharp. She heard someone ask, Zhai Ci, what are you doing? She also heard familiar footsteps. The expected punch did notnd on her and the surroundings became abnormally quiet in an instant. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes curiously and saw Huo Xunzhou kicking Zhai Ci away. Stunned, she asked, Why is it you? Are you alright? Huo Xunzhou was not in the mood to answer her question. He held her shoulder and looked her up and down to make sure she was fine. Huo Chaosheng pushed through the crowd and ran over happily. Third Brother! What brings you here? Huo Xunzhou let go of Lin Shanchu and looked at Huo Chaosheng indifferently. What time is it already? Arent you going home yet? Ill be home soon. Huo Chaosheng asked with a fawning smile. Are you here to PICK me up f Huo Xunzhou left without saying a word. After walking for some distance, Huo Chaosheng turned around and boasted to Lin Shanchu. My brother is here to pick me up. Ill be leaving now. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She felt like she was an extra. Just then, Li MO came out of nowhere and said, Sister-inw, Ill take you home. Lin Shanchu nodded and walked out with Li Mo. Why are you guys here? Big Brother called me to pick you up, so I came. As long as Huo Xunzhou did not show his feelings for Lin Shanchu in front of a third person, he would not be controlled by the plot. Therefore, Huo Xunzhou must have returned and found out that she had followed Huo Chaosheng to the clubhouse. He was worried that something might happen to her and that he would not be able toe in and find her, so he informed Li Mo. In that case, a question arose. Why was Huo Xunzhou able to block Zhai Cis punch for her in front of everyone just now? Lin Shanchu still could not figure out this question even after walking out of the clubhouse. Huo Chaosheng and Huo Xunzhou came out first. Lin Shanchu looked up and saw the two brothers getting into the same car. Lin Shanchu turned her head inadvertently and saw Lu Shiyuan, who was supposed to appear in the clubhouse to block the punch for her, behind the billboard in front of her. Lu Shiyuan peeked in Huo Xunzhous direction with a trace of doubt in his expression. Lin Shanchu said to Li MO, Wait for me here. She quietly walked behind Lu Shiyuan. After watching Huo Xunzhou drive away, Lu Shiyuan turned around to leave. However, he saw Lin Shanchu standing behind him right after he turned around. You must be surprised, right? It was supposed to be your turn to show up in the plot, but Huo Xunzhou appeared instead. Lin Shanchu stood in the shadows and her gentle smile exuded a chilling aura. So what if Huo Xunzhou appeared? Lu Shiyuan snorted coldly. Didnt he leave with Huo Chaosheng in the end? Lin Shanchu replied, Only ipetent people will always find fault with others. Lin Shanchus words touched a sore spot with Lu Shiyuan. Helpless, he said angrily, Just you wait. Lu Shiyuan nned to escape from the scene after saying those harsh words. Lin Shanchu followed him and said sharply, That stupid system is still as useless as before. It cant even help you with such a small matter. Lu Shiyuan stopped in his tracks as shock shed across his eyes. Lin Shanchuughed. She had guessed correctly. Lu Shiyuan Imew that he was the male lead because of that useless system. Character restoration system? In those days when that stupid system was bound to her, the missions that it gave her were all beneficial to Lu Shiyuan. It was better to directly call it the angst male lead support system. Moreover, Lu Shiyuan had already slept with Xia Jinmeng. His only so-called advantage of being physically and mentally clean no longer existed, so how could he be qualified to be the male lead of a brainless angst novel? What did that useless svstem tell you? Lin Shanchu ced her hands behind her back and looked at him curiously. Before Lu Shiyuan could speak, Lin continued, Did it ever tell you that it was bound to me? Guess what happened after it was bound to me? Lin Shanchus eyes widened as she looked at Lu Shiyuan expectantly. Lu Shiyuan did not expect Lin Shanchu to be able to guess it. The system that was suddenly bound to him on the day he was released from prison was his final trump card. What happenedter? Lu Shiyuan asked Lin Shanchu as he looked at her expectantly. You lost your reputation and be a detestable lowlife. Lin Shanchu chuckled in a cheerful tone. Lu Shiyuans face darkened as he shouted, I will definitely make aeback! Oh. Lin Shanchu replied nonchntly, Youre so confident. Did everything go well after you got out of prison? Lu Shiyuans face darkened even more Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at him for a moment before she said happily, Looks like it didnt go well. Then I can rest assured. The ending will not change! Lu Shiyuans heart was already wavering, but the information that the system had revealed to him was hisst resort. He had to believe it. Lin Shanchu smiled without a word and looked at him contemptuously. Lu Shiyuan stopped for a moment before hastening his pace and leaving. The smile on Lin Shanchus face disappeared and her expression instantly turned cold. No wonder only Huo Xunzhou was restricted. Since that useless system could not defeat her in the past, it was even more impossible for it to control her now. After Lu Shiyuan slept with Xia Jinmeng, the system disappeared and his reputation was ruined until he went to jail. All of this proved that her train of thought was correct. As long as Lu Shiyuan was unclean, his male lead aura would cease to exist and everything would no longer go well for him. But the problem was, why would the system help Lu Shiyuan, who had no male lead aura at all? Wasnt this considered illegal in their system? There had to be a penalty for viting the rules, right? She remembered that the useless system once said that they would be punished in the book if they could notplete the mission. This kind of illegal operation should be more serious than failing toplete the mission. If she did not vent her anger on the spot, she would feel sorry for the hardship that Huo Xunzhou had suffered. However, she did not know who was in charge of the system. Or, how could she blow up the system? Sister-inw! Li MO saw Lin Shanchu standing still for a long time, so he walked over. Lin Shanchu snapped back to reality and said, Lets go. Lets go to the hospital first, Li MO told Lin Shanchu after getting into the car. Hmm? Big Brother said that youre injured and you need to go for a checkup. Li MO looked at Lin Shanchu through the rearview mirror, but he could not see where she was hurt after a long time.. Chapter 396 - 396: Standing As Punishment Chapter 396 - 396: Standing As Punishment Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu was slightly stunned after hearing Li Mots words. Huo Xunzhou was always meticulous when it came to her matters. If it were not for that stupid system, she would have been the legal Mrs. Huo by now. Lin Shanchu let out a long sigh and nodded at Li Mo. Alright. As soon as the car started, Lin Shanchus phone vibrated.
Huo Xunzhou sent her a WeChat message. Lin Shanchu couldnt help butugh when she saw the number of unread message notifications on his profile picture. Huo Xunzhou: [Have you arrived at the hospital?] Lin Shanchu: [I just departed.] Huo Xunzhou: [You hurt your head, so youd better go for a checkup. Dont mind the trouble.] Lin Shanchu: [I dont mind the trouble. [Well-behaved.jpg]] Huo Xunzhou: [You are so obedient?] Lin Shanchu: [ [Heart.jpg][Bigger Heart.jpg]] Huo Xunzhou: [ [Pat head.jpg]] After getting together with Lin Shanchu, Huo Xunzhous WeChat emoji collection had be much richer. Li MO took Lin Shanchu to the private hospital for a checkup. After her wound was bandaged, he drove her home. Before Lin Shanchu entered the house, she remembered that she had left Lin Suguang with Jiang Weizhu. She mentally prepared herself before taking out her keys to open the door guiltily. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Suguang packing his things. Uncle What are you doing? Was he going to run away from home? She just felt that Jiang Weizhu was a good person and wanted to give her a chance. Did her uncle get angry? Moving house. Lin Suguang looked back at her from the pile of clutter and asked, Why did youe back sote? Where did you go? Lin Shanchu sped her hands in front of her, standing like a primary school student. I went to the clubhouse and hung out with my friends for a while. Oh. At this moment, He Xiang came out of the room with something in her hands. Sister Lin, you are back. Lin Shanchu waved at He Xiang, signaling her to ignore her. He Xiang had never seen Lin Shanchu behave like a primary school student before. Not only did she respond to her, but she also went up to her curiously, Sister Lin, what are you doing? Standing as punishment. Lin Shanchu felt a little embarrassed and lowered her voice. After all, he was her biological uncle. He was so angry that he wanted to run away from home. Of course, she had to admit her mistake and stand there as punishment. He Xiang looked puzzledly at Lin Shanchu. Then, she looked at Lin Suguang before leaving with a nk expression. Lin Suguang felt that Lin was getting in his way by standing beside him. Why are you standing here? Arent you going to take a shower and sleep? Lin Shanchu frowned and squeezed out tears. Teary-eyed, she hugged his arm and said, Uncle, I know I was wrong. Dont go, boohoo.. Her pitiful appearance looked real. He Xiang walked over to take a look. After confirming that Lin Shanchu was just putting on a pitiful act, she continued to pack her things. Lin Suguangs heart ached when he saw that she looked like she was about to cry. Dont cry. I didnt say I was going to leave. Then why did you pack up and move house? Didnt you break up with Huo Xunzhou? We can no longer stay in his house after you break up with him. Lets move out overnight. Ive already found a house. Lin Shanchu moved her lips, realizing that she could not exin it to Lin Suguang. It was outrageous to say that he was being controlled by the plot. She did not know if her uncle could ept it. Go take a shower and sleep. Well call you when were done packing. After saying that, Lin Suguang continued to pack things. Sister Lin He Xiang leaned over and asked eagerly, Werent you and Teacher Huo still fine a few days ago? Why did you break up? Lin Shanchu felt that something was wrong, so she asked, How did you know we were going to break up? He Xiang took out her phone and tapped on a photo of Huo Xunzhou and Cheng Fanjing entering Boya Hotel together. Teacher Huos dinner date with another woman is all over the news. Many tabloid reporters took photos of them and this photo has gone viral on the Inte He Xiang paid attention to thetest gossips all year round. She saved this photo immediately after she saw it. A insignificant assistant like her could not manage such a big matter. She wanted to ask Lin Shanchu about the situation when she returned home. Lin Shanchu sneered. Sooner orter, she would blow up that damn system. Lin Shanchu was forced to move house overnight. From her uncles point of view, there was nothing wrong with what he did. He did it all for her sake and she had no reason to reject him. After moving house overnight, Lin Shanchu and the other two people tidied up their things, ordered takeout and went to catch up on sleep. Lin Shanchu was woken up by the ringing of her phone. Lin Shanchu nced at the caller ID and saw that it was Nan Mu. President Nan? Shanshan, arent you at home? Ive been knocking for a long time, but no one answered the door. Lin Shanchu came to her senses and immediately sat up on the bed. You are in Capital City? Yeah, Im here on a business trip, so I came to see you guys. It was over. She could no longer hide the fact that she had moved house. She originally wanted to hide it for a while. After all, it was bad enough that Huo Xunzhou was restricted by the plot. If he knew that she had moved house overnight, he would probably be heavy hearted. After a short while, Nan Mu arrived at Lin Shanchus new home. After Nan Mu entered the house and sat down, he carefully sized up her new home. The house is quite big. My uncle helped me find it. Lin Shanchu nced at Lin Suguang. Nan Mu looked at Lin Suguang and said with a smile, Mr. Lin, you and Shanshan look alike. Thats what everyone said after meeting us. Lin Suguang knew that Nan Mu was one of the bosses at Tianzhou Media, so he treated him quite friendly. Nan Mu nodded. The atmosphere was a little awkward. After a while, Nan Mu asked, Shanshan, can we talk in private? Alright. Lin Shanchu got up and led Nan Mu to the balcony. It was windy in Capital City today. Lin Shanchu and Nan Mu stood on the balcony, shivering. Whats going on between you and Xunzhou? Theizensmented that you two broke up. I called Xunzhou, but he didnt pick up the phone. Its not what you think it is. Huo Xunzhou and I wont be separated. But I cant exin the details to you for the time being. Even if you dont believe me, you should believe Huo Xunzhou, right? Nan Mu nodded silently. After taking a breath of cold air, Lin Shanchu shivered and said, Lets go in. Huo Xunzhou and Cheng Fanjings dinner date spread like wildfire on the Inte overnight. All the major social media ounts in the entertainment industry started to publish articles about Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus suspected breakup. Wen Huan also called Lin Shanchu to ask what was going on between her and Huo Xunzhou. Then, people from the Yun family called her one by one to ask about her and Huo Xunzhou. At the end of the call, everyone in the Yun family said, If he dares to let you down, I wont forgive him. Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Xunzhou was in a worse state. Just as she was about to call Huo Xunzhou, another call came in. It was an unknown number this time.. Chapter 397 - 397: Third Brother, Why Are You Being handsy With Me? Chapter 397 - 397: Third Brother, Why Are You Being handsy With Me? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion ording to Lin Shanchus past experience, any unknown number that came in at such a sensitive time would most likely be hostile. The caller was either someone who wanted her make a fool of herself or some entertainment reporters who tried to pry information out of her. Therefore, Lin Shanchus tone was unfriendly when she answered the phone. Whos on the line? Its me.
It was someone familiar. She could tell who it was just by listening to the voice. Lin immediately recognized Tang Qidais voice. As expected, the caller was ill-intentioned. She did not deign to deal with Tang Qidai. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Tang Qidai said, Dont hang up. Let me finish my words first. Lin Shanchu curled her lip and smiled self-deprecatingly. Tang Qidai really knew her well. Noticing that Lin Shanchu did not hang up the phone immediately, Tang Qidai was delighted and hurriedly spoke. Lu Shiyuan came to Capital City after being released from prison. Other than dealing with me, his other target is you. Tang Qidai stopped talking to find out Lin Shanchus reaction. You spent a lot of money and connections to get Lu Shiyuan out of prison, didnt you? Tang Qidai did not expect Lin Shanchu to expose her so calmly despite having no rtion to Lu Shiyuans motives. You are now Miss Cheng. How can Lu Shiyuan deal with you? After saying that, Lin Shanchu replied to herself, Oh, he threatened you with the matter of Jing Ming and Kong Suyi. Tang Qidai shouted nervously, Lin Shanchu! Lin Shanchu really had not changed at all. She hit the nail on the head and exposed her past. Lin Shanchu said seriously, I have a way to protect you from Lu Shiyuans threat. Tang Qidais heart skipped a beat as she asked, What kind of way? Lin Shanchu replied casually, You just have to turn yourself in. Tang Qidai was speechless. Lin Shanchu was really sick. Tang Qidai suppressed the urge to curse at Lin Shanchu. She quickly calmed herself down and said seriously, Lin Shanchu, I sincerely want to work with you. I hope you can consider it seriously. After all, Lu Shiyuan is ourmon enemy. Lin Shanchu could hear a hint of sincerity in Tang Qidais tone. It was quite rare. Lin Shanchu remained silent. Tang Qidai thought that she had persuaded Lin Shanchu, so she said excitedly, If its possible, I hope we can talk face to face. Lin Shanchu immediately hung up the phone. She knew Tang Qidai better than anyone else. Tang Qidai was a firm self-centered person. She would never do anything that would not benefit her. Lin Shanchu got up and opened the window, leaning against the windowsill to get some fresh air. Everything was going well today, but she received a call from Tang Qidai. How unlucky. It was getting dark. Night was approaching. Everyone who waspelled to walk in the darkness wanted someone to walk alongside, no matter how strong their heart was. Sister Lin, wash your hands and eat dinner. He Xiangs voice came from behind. Lin Shanchu turned around and strode towards the bedroom. Im not going to eat dinner. Huh? He Xiang walked to Lin Shanchus bedroom door, only to find her sitting in front of the dressing table and putting on makeup. Sister Lin, are you going out? Yeah, you can dine with my uncle. Where are you going? Lin Shanchu chuckled and turned to look at He Xiang. To the ce I want to go. Oh. She felt that Lin Shanchu had been doing things mysteriously recently. Lin Shanchu came out after putting on her makeup and changing her clothes. She saw Lin Suguang waiting for her in the living room with his car keys. He Xiang said that youre going out. Ill give you a ride. Lin Suguang sized up Lin Shanchu with a trace of insight in his gentle gaze, as if he had seen through her. Lin Shanchu replied calmly, I have an appointment with Miss Jiang. Lin Suguang froze on the spot. Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Shanchu said, Uncle, go quickly to eat dinner. Lin Suguang watched helplessly as Lin Shanchu left with the car keys. Of course, Lin Shanchu did not have appointment with Jiang Weizhu. The ce she wanted to go was certainly where Huo Xunzhou was. Huo Xunzhous house Capital City was also a vi. He bought the house with the first pot of gold he earned after his debut. Capital City was developing rapidly. The environment in this area was ordinary in the early years, but after rapid development over the years, every inch ofnd here was already worth an inch of gold. The management of the vi area was strict, so it was difficult to sneak in. Lin Shanchu could only follow the rules and go to the property management office to register herself. The property management staff had mixed feelings as he looked at the fully covered woman with only two eyes exposed in front of him. Name? Yun Wu. Who are you looking for? Huo Xunzhou from Room 13. Im his cousin Yun Wu was really a good sister. Her identity was also quite useful. She had to admit that the property management service in the vi area was really good. After Lin Shanchu registered herself, the staff personally took her to Huo Xunzhou. When the staff rang the doorbell, Lin Shanchu looked up at Huo Xunzhous house. It was her first time here. It was bigger than the houses in Xu City, and the style was more retro and had a better texture. To put it bluntly the smell of money was stronger. After a while, Lin Shanchu saw a tall figure walking towards her through the hollow iron door. Lin Shanchu could not see his face clearly in the dim light in the courtyard, but she knew it was Huo Xunzhou just by looking at his figure. She thought that the person who would open the door would be Li Mo. She was worried that if Li MO recognized her, he would trigger the plot restriction because of his presence as the third person. The staff said with a smile, Mr. Huo, Miss Yun Wu is looking for you. Huo Xunzhou had been looking at Lin Shanchu since he walked over. Yun Wu? he asked with a faint smile after hearing the staffs words. Lin Shanchu squinted her eyes as she deliberately called out in a coquettish voice, Third Brother. Huo Xunzhou reached out and ced his hand to his lips. After coughing lightly, he turned around and thanked the staff. Before the staff left, he kept looking back at Lin Shanchu curiously. He remembered that Huo Xunzhous cousin was also a celebrity. However, was there a need for her to be fully covered to see her cousin in the middle of the night? As soon as the staff disappeared, Huo Xunzhou reached out and pulled Lin Shanchu into his arms, bringing her into the vi. Third Brother, why are you being handsy with me? Lin Shanchu held Huo Xunzhous fingers and her gentle voice sounded innocent. Huo Xunzhou squeezed Lin Shanchus hand in revenge, causing Lin Shanchu tough proudly. When they reached the living room, Huo Xunzhou asked her to sit down on the sofa. Next, he reached out and took off the scarf and hat that covered half of her face. He then stared at her with his beautiful charming eyes, as if she was the only one in his eyes. His gaze looked as if he had not seen her for three years, but they obviously just met yesterday. Lin Shanchu was a little shy from his stare. She reached out and pushed Huo Xunzhou away before she said softly, I need a drink of water. Go and get me a ss of water.. Chapter 398 - 398: I Thought of Going Over, So I Just Walked Over Chapter 398 - 398: I Thought of Going Over, So I Just Walked Over Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou stood up and poured Lin Shanchu a ss of water. After drinking the ss of water in her hand, Lin Shanchu looked up and noticed that Huo Xunzhou was still staring at her. Lin Shanchu blinked as she asked, Why are you looking at me like that? Huo Xunzhou chuckled without a word, took the ss of water from her hand and put it aside. Then, he whispered, Shanshan, you really didnt go back on you word. Lin Shanchu tilted her head in confusion.
Huo Xunzhou pulled her into his arms with a smile. His deep voice sounded gentle and bewitching. Have you forgotten what you said? Lin Shanchu thought about it carefully. Oh, she remembered it. When she previously talked to Huo Xunzhou about her family, she said that she would dote on him. Now, he was moved when she came overnight just to see him. He was too easily satisfied. Lin Shanchu lifted her head from his embrace and looked at him. Third Brother, cant you be more ambitious? Huo Xunzhou pecked her lightly on the lips. Im very ambitious. As he spoke, he tightened his arms around her waist. The person whom he held in his arms was what he desired. He held her hand and walked over. She was willing to stand by his side and walk side by side with him. He was very lucky. He opened his heart and finally made her stay. Lin Shanchu did not want to ruin this intimate atmosphere. However, she had not eaten dinner. She was so hungry that her stomach began to growl. Huo Xunzhou asked her, You didnt have dinner? Lin Shanchu rubbed her belly and nodded pitifully. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou rubbed her t stomach in amusement. Wait here. When he got up, he couldnt help but pat her head again. Whenever he saw Lin Shanchu now, he felt that she was extremely cute and wanted to touch and hug her. Lin Shanchu followed Huo Xunzhou into the kitchen. Huo Xunzhou often stayed in this house when he had to film a few years ago, so it was well-equipped. Huo Xunzhou was quite busy recently and seldom cooked, but he had prepared some ingredients in the fridge. He stood in front of the fridge and rummaged for a long time. Finally, he found two steaks that were still within the shelf life. He turned to ask Lin Shanchu for her opinion. Do you want to eat steak? Alright! Lin Shanchu nodded vigorously. While Huo Xunzhou was frying the steak, Lin Shanchu stood beside him and chatted with him. Where did Li MO go? He went out to run errands. Lin Shanchus attention was on the steak on the pan, so she did not notice Huo Xunzhous pause. He still has to go out to run errands in the middle of the night? He has nothing better to do. Speechless, she felt that he was like a ck-hearted boss. After Huo Xunzhou finished frying the steak, Lin Shanchu brought it to the table and ced a knife and fork next to it. After she was done, she turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou leaning against the kitchen door, looking at her. Dont you think theres still something missing on this table? Whats missing? Huo Xunzhou ced his hands behind his back and slowly walked toward her. He was so smart, so he definitely knew what she was talking about. He was deliberately ying dumb with her. As if thinking of something, Lin Shanchu turned to look behind him and asked, Did you take something? Huo Xunzhou did not hide it anymore and stretched out his hands. He held a bottle of red wine in his left hand and two wine sses in his right hand. Brother Xunzhou, you understand me the best. Lin Shanchu praised him sweetly and took the items from his hands. Huo Xunzhou had already opened the red wine ss. Afterying out the sses, Lin Shanchu poured the wine into one ss. When the red wine reached one-third of the ss, Huo Xunzhou took the bottle from Lin Shanchus hand. Its enough. Its not enough. Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips. If you say its enough, then its enough. She had speciallye tofort him, so she would just let him have his own way. Before dinner, Huo Xunzhou called Li Mo. Donte back tonight. After hanging up the phone, she saw Lin Shanchu lying on the table andughing non-stop. What are youughing at? It looks like were having an affair. Huo Xunzhous face darkened. Then, he picked up the ss and downed half of it in one gulp. Originally, they were just a little bit away from getting their marriage certificate. Lin Shanchu looked at his angry face and felt that he was cute and pitiful, so she coaxed him gently. Dont be angry anymore. All problems will be solved. Huo Xunzhou raised his ss and clinked sses with her. After that, Lin Shanchu told Huo Xunzhou about the guesses she had confirmed with Lu Shiyuan while eating dinner. Did you see Lu Shiyuan against night? Huo Xunzhou asked softly after listening to her words. Yeah. Lin Shanchu corrected him. Thats not the point. Huo Xunzhou snorted. Oh. If he could snatch Lu Shiyuans chance of appearance once, he could snatch it for the second time and third time. Lu Shiyuan wanted the plot to reach the ending in the original book, but there was no way it would happen! Lin Shanchu thought of something else. When you went to the clubhouse to help mest night, werent you restricted by the plot? I was. Then how did manage to go over and help me? After a pause, Huo Xunzhou replied, I thought of going over, so I just walked over. Lin Shanchus eyes brightened as she smiled. As expected, one can resist the plot as long as their will is firm enough. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything and justughed along. After dinner, Huo Xunzhou cleaned up the cutlery and went to get his coat and car keys. Lets go. Lin Shanchu was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching television. She looked at Huo Xunzhou with a confused expression upon hearing his words. Where are we going? Ill take you home. Lin Shanchu was confused. Lin Shanchu asked him seriously, Didnt you tell Li MO not toe back tonight? Didnt he tell not toe back tonight so that she could stay the night? Huo Xunzhous Adams apple bobbed. When he spoke again, his tone was a little hesitant. Then Ill take you home when I go to thepany tomorrow morning. Lin Shanchu nodded her head vigorously. When they went upstairs to sleep, Huo Xunzhou led Lin Shanchu straight to the guest room. Ill sleep next door. Call me if you need anything. Oh Lin Shanchu drawledzily to express her dissatisfaction with Huo Xunzhous arrangement. Huo Xunzhou turned around and left as if he had not noticed her dissatisfaction. When he reached the door and closed it, he saw Lin Shanchu sitting by the bed with a pillow in her arms and looking at him aggrievedly with big, clear eyes. Huo Xunzhous legs gave out slightly. He held the door frame with one hand. The struggle in his eyes onlysted for three seconds before hepromised and said, Come here. Lin Shanchu immediately threw down the pillow and ran towards him with a smile. When they arrived at Huo Xunzhous room, Lin Shanchu was like a little animal marking its territory. She threw off her slippers and jumped onto Huo Xunzhous bed, rolling around. After that, she rolled out of bed and shouted, Im going to take a shower! Ill help you Before Huo Xunzhou could finish his sentence, Lin Shanchu already closed the bathroom door. He felt that his girlfriend showed a remarkable result after pumping iron for the past few months. Her movements were multiple times more agile than before.. Chapter 399 - 399: Did You Take a Cold Shower? Chapter 399 - 399: Did You Take a Cold Shower? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou heard the sound of running water in the bathroom and turned around to go to the cloakroom. In the spacious walk-in closet, only half of the wall had mens clothes hanging on the racks, while the remaining few walls had womens clothes hanging on them. When Lin Shanchu said that she wanted to register their marriage, he immediately cleared out the walk-in closet. After clearing out the walk-in closet, he felt that it was a little empty, so he took the initiative to buy more clothes. He was happy at that time, but he was disappointed when he was forced to leave Lin Shanchu behind at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Fortunately, these female clothes still had their owner.
He did not know if Lin Shanchu would like these styles. Huo Xunzhou frowned and looked around the walk-in closet for a long time before finally choosing a soft white nightdress. He held the folded pajamas in one hand and slowly stood up. Then, he held the cab door with the other hand for a while before he unhurriedly returned to the bedroom. Lin Shanchu walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body in a seductive pose that she had designed beforehand. Im done with the shower She raised her eyes shyly and looked around. Where was Huo Xunzhou? Did her wet body seduction after shower fail because there was no protagonist? Lin Shanchu walked to the bed angrily. When she saw the neatly folded pajamas, her mood improved a little. She picked up her pajamas and realized that there was a set of underwear underneath. Lin Shanchu stretched out her hand to hook the lingerie strap before she brought it over and looked at it. It was actuallyced. On the surface, someone wanted to take her home, but he secretly prepared such cute lingerie for her. Lin Shanchu changed into his pajamas and walked around in front of the mirror. The length of the pajamas exceeded her knees, and the cor barely revealed her corbone. Moreover, the long-sleeved design covered her arms and shoulders tightly. The fabric was pure cotton. What this some kind of pajamas for an elementary school student? What misunderstanding did Huo Xunzhou have about her? She was already an adult. She was also a female celebrity. Most importantly, she was his girlfriend! Did he not have any improper thoughts about her? When Huo Xunzhou pushed the door open and entered the room, he saw his agile girlfriend sitting on the bed with her arms crossed. She was fuming and frowned in confusion. When she heard themotion, she raised her head and nced at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou thought she was dissatisfied with the pajamas. If you dont like the pajamas, you can go and look at other ones. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and sized Huo Xunzhou up. She noticed that he was also wearing pajamas. He must have gone to the other bathroom to take a shower just now. The way he looked at her could not be any purer. No way, could she be the only one who had indecent thoughts about him? Huo Xunzhou walked over and sat down beside her. Then, he tilted his head and asked, Why arent you saying anything? Lin Shanchu then realized that Huo Xunzhous face was a little pale. Did you take a cold shower? she asked with a frown. Huo Xunzhou shook his head and replied, No, its probably because theres no heater in that room, so itts a little cold. Oh. Lin Shanchu turned around and crawled into the bed. Then, she pulled the nket over andy down to sleep. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at her for a moment before he got up andy down beside her. Huo Xunzhouy there quietly for a while before turning to look at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu closed her eyes and breathed evenly. She fell asleep so quickly? Huo Xunzhou heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a hint of disappointment shed across his eyes. What are you disappointed about? Lin Shanchus voice suddenly rang out. Huo Xunzhou looked up and saw that the person who had fallen asleep was staring at him with wide eyes. He was stunned. You are awake? The lights are too bright. Huo Xunzhou got up and turned off the lights. The room darkened, and it was pitch ck. Lin Shanchu felt a familiar aura approaching. In the next second, she was pulled into someones arms. Lin Shanchu stayed quiet in his arms for two seconds before she started to move around. Previously, he wanted to sleep in separate rooms with her, but now he hugged her whenever he wanted? There was no such thing as a free lunch. Dont move. Huo Xunzhou tightened his grip on her waist. She insisted on moving! Lin Shanchu flipped over and stretched her legs. Huo Xunzhou sighed helplessly. Then, he flipped over and pinned her under him, rendering her immobile. They could clearly feel the changes in each others bodies as their bodies were tightly pressed together. Lin Shanchu blinked nervously in the dark and said, You Huo Xunzhou interrupted her, Satisfied? Lin Shanchu replied, I dont understand what youre saying. Huo Xunzhou buried his head in her shoulder, filling her ears with his warm breath. I have an early meeting tomorrow, so I need to arrive at thepany early. I cant bete. As he spoke, his lips brushed past her ears. Oh. Although Lin Shanchus reply was only one word, it gave him a feeling that she was more obedient than before. Huo Xunzhou curled his lip silently and rolled over to leave her. Go to sleep. This time, Lin Shanchuy in his arms obediently and did not move around. While she was in a daze, Huo Xunzhous words suddenly shed through her mind. No, its probably because theres no heater in that room, so its a little cold. The entire vi had under floor heating. How could there be a room without heating? The next day. When Lin Shanchu woke up, the first thing she realized was that the person beside her was already gone. She sat up and heard the sound of watering from the bathroom. Why was Huo Xunzhou showering so early in the morning? Lin Shanchu hugged the nket and curled up at the bedside in a daze. Creak! The bathroom door opened and Huo Xunzhou walked out with wet hair. You are awake? Lin Shanchu had just woken up, so her reaction was still a little slow. She only nodded slowly after two seconds. Huo Xunzhou found her groggy look very cute. He cupped her face and kissed her before he said gently, Theres no ingredient in the fridge for breakfast, so I ordered takeout. Itll be here soon. Lin Shanchu nodded. Huo Xunzhous smile deepened. Get up and wash up now. You can have breakfast downstairster. Lin Shanchu did not nod this time. Instead, she looked at him suspiciously. You look terrible. Huo Xunzhou said calmly, Im a little hungry. Its probably because of hypoglycemia. After he finished speaking, he told Lin Shanchu to get up quickly and went downstairs. Lin Shanchu watched Huo Xunzhou leave before she slowly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Huo Xunzhou had just taken a shower, so there was still some residual heat in the bathroom. She walked to the sink and slowly squeezed out some toothpaste to brush her teeth. Huo Xunzhou did not suffer from hypoglycemia. He had always been healthy. A healthy person would not look so terrible after taking a hot bath early in the morning. After brushing her teeth, Lin Shanchu came to a conclusionHuo Xunzhou was hiding something from her. Lin Shanchu had breakfast with Huo Xunzhou and then left with him. However, before she got into the car, she was fully covered, just likest night. As long as she did not let anyone find out that she was in the same car as Huo Xunzhou, the plot restriction would not be triggered.. Chapter 400 - 400: Which Opposite-sex Companion Chapter 400 - 400: Which Opposite-sex Companion Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After getting into the car, Huo Xunzhou turned on the GPS on his phone and handed it to Lin Shanchu so that she could enter the address. Lin Shanchu took the phone and silently entered the address of her new home. Sure enough, if Nan Mu knew about her moving house, it meant that Huo Xunzhou knew about it. After the car drove steadily on the road, Lin Shanchu broke the silence in the car. Nan Mu told you I moved house? He did.
Huo Xunzhou looked straight ahead. I know. Lin Shanchu wanted to exin to Huo Xunzhou, but he interrupted her. Lin Shanchu was currently living with Lin Suguang. There were rumors that he had broken up with Lin Shanchu. As Lin Shanchus rtive, it was normal for Lin Suguang to move house with her. It showed that Lin Suguang was considerate of Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou dropped Lin Shanchu off at her house and drove to thepany. Lin Shanchu stood still and looked thoughtfully in the direction Huo Xunzhou left for a while before turning to leave. When Huo Xunzhou arrived at thepany, Li MO was already waiting for him in the office. Big brother! As soon as Li MO saw Huo Xunzhou, he immediately stepped forward to help him. Huo Xunzhou waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to help him. He walked to his desk and sat down with his hands on it. Then, he frowned and leaned back in his chair. Li MO walked over to the drawer and took out a big bag of painkillers. Big Brother, these are all newly bought. Pick one and try it out. See if it works. Huo Xunzhou looked up and took out a box from the bag. He nced at the instructions, poured out two pills and swallowed them. Li MO hurriedly turned around to pour some water. Big Brother, why dont you go for another checkup? he asked worriedly as he handed the ss of water to Huo Xunzhou. Lets go to another hospital this time. After Huo Xunzhou returned from the clubhouse that day, his body started to hurt for some reason. Li MO took him for a checkup that very night. In the end, the results of the checkup showed that he was healthy without any illness. However, Huo Xunzhous condition did not improve. Sometimes, the pain would get worse. What worried Li MO even more was that no painkillers would work on him. Last night, Li MO went out to buy painkillers for Huo Xunzhou. No need. Huo Xunzhou slowly sat up straight and started working. Li MO asked, Are you feeling better? Huo Xunzhou replied calmly, Yes. After separating from Lin Shanchu, the pain in his body had improved. It was useless to take the medicine and the checkup result showed nothing abnormal. This was very illogical. Lin Shanchu once said that in the novel world, everything served the plot without the need of reasonability. He guessed that the unexinable pain in his body was most likely a side effect of resisting the plot. It was because the pain started from the day he resisted the plot by blocking the punch for Lin Shanchu at the clubhouse. After that, the pain intensified when he got closer to Lin Shanchu with intimate behavior. The so-called system and plot went to great lengths in order to make him stay away from Lin Shanchu. Li MO stood there and observed Huo Xunzhou for a moment. Seeing that his expression was normal, he was relieved. When he turned to leave the office, Huo Xunzhou called out to him. Big Brother, is there anything else? Dont tell.. Lin Shanchu about this matter for now. He wanted to say Shanshan, but the moment he opened his mouth, it became Lin Shanchu. Li MO was taken aback before he replied, Oh. Huo Xunzhou directly called Lin Shanchu by her full name? Did he really break up with her? After Lin Shanchu pushed the door open, she was startled by Lin Suguang who was guarding the door. Lin Suguang moved a chair and sat at the door with his eyes fixed on the entrance. Lin Shanchu met his gaze the moment she entered the house. Uncle? Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief and asked, Why are you guarding the door so early in the morning? Lin Suguang said softly, I was waiting for you. Lin Shanchu did note home for the entire night. Hence, she suddenly felt guilty as if she was caught red-handed by her parent when she returned home after ying wildly outside. Leaning against the wall, Lin Shanchu carefully moved inside and asked, Is is something wrong? Lin Suguang replied, You didnte home for the entire night. Where were you? I went to my friends house and hung out iwth her. It waste and it wasnt safe to be on the road, so I stayed at her house for the night. When an actress lied, there was no trace at all. To her surprise, Lin Suguang, who was easily fooled before, did not fall for her trick this time. Are you and Miss Jiang the kind of friends who can stay at each others house? His tone was casual and he did not even bother to expose her. Lin Shanchu could not hide it anymore, so she took the initiative and turn herself in. Thats right, I went to look for Huo Xunzhou. You Lin Suguang had an expression of disappointment as he pointed at her without a word for a long time. Seeing this, Lin Shanchu squatted down in front of Lin Suguang, held his hand and looked up at him. Uncle, my rtionship with Huo Xunzhou isnt as unstable as the rumors say. Think about it, hes invested all his wealth for me. How could he change his mind so easily? Are you saying that he has a hidden reason for inviting Miss Cheng to dinner? Speechless, Lin Shanchu nodded hurriedly. Lin Suguang snorted coldly. You are quite considerate of him. He did not care about Huo Xunzhous hidden reason. Those who made his niece suffer were bad people. Uncle, you dont believe Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu shook his arm coquettishly as she asked, Do you not believe me either? Lin Suguangs face fell. He allowed her to act coquettishly for a long time before he reluctantly said, I believe you. Uncle, you are the best! Lin Shanchu immediately grinned from ear to ear. Lin Suguang red at her and asked, Have you eaten breakfast? Lin Shanchu stood up and replied, Yes. Lin Shanchu was still thinking about Huo Xunzhou. Afterforting Lin Suguang, she called Nan Mu. Shanshan? Are you still in Capital City? Of course. I was going to call you to talk about something, but you called me first. What business do you have with me? Theres a cocktail party tonight. Im not familiar with this ce and I dont have a femalepanion. Could I trouble you to apany me? Alright. Lin snau agreed readily. She also wanted to try if she could worm some information out of Nan Mu. At night, Nan Mu drove over to pick Lin Shanchu up. Lin Shanchu only found out that the cocktail party was organized by the Jiang family when she arrived at the venue. Most of the influential figures in Capital City were invited. There were also many familiar faces. Right after entering the banquet hall, the first person Lin Shanchu saw was Ming Yao. Ming Yao asked Lin Shanchu, How have you been recently? The news of Lin Shanchu breaking up with Huo Xunzhou had spread like wildfire. Ming Yao naturally knew about it, but she did not say it out loud. Smart people always liked to pull their punches when they talked. Lin Shanchu chuckled. Im fine. Ming Yao lowered her voice and whispered into Lin Shanchus ear, I heard that Cheng Fanjing will being too. Oh. She did not care even if Cheng Fanjing would be here. Ming Yao looked at her meaningfully and said, The guests have to bring an opposite-sexpanion to such a cocktail party.. Which opposite-sexpanion do you think she wille with? Chapter 401 - 401: Zhouzhou, How Can You Talk To Your Brother Like That? Chapter 401 - 401: Zhouzhou, How Can You Talk To Your Brother Like That? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Ming Yao was not the kind of person who liked to talk nonsense. The fact that she would ask such a question proved that it had something to do with Lin Shanchu. The smile on Lin Shanchus face gradually disappeared. Cheng Fanjing wouldnte with Huo Xunzhou again, would she? Just as this thought popped into Lin Shanchus mind, she heard someone say, The person from the Huo family is here too. The person from the Huo family.
It was either Huo Chaosheng or Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu did not even need to turn her head and take a look as she already had an urate answer in her heart. If the person was Huo Chaosheng, they would have just said his name. After Huo Xunzhou returned to the Huo Family, he had been in an awkward situation. People in the circle rarely mentioned his name. Whenever they did, they would mention that person. An acquaintance engaged Nan Mu in conversation just now, and now he walked over with a ss of wine. He walked to Lin Shanchus side, lowered his head and whispered, Xunzhou is here. After Nan Mu finished speaking, he nned to go over and say a few words to Huo Xunzhou. However, he saw Cheng Fanjing standing beside Huo Xunzhou as soon as he lifted his foot. Nan Mu was stunned. He looked at Huo Xunzhou, who was whispering to Cheng Fanjing. Then, he felt even more confused when he turned to look at Lin Shanchu, who did not seem to notice Huo Xunzhou. Was this what Lin Shanchu said? She and Huo Xunzhou would not be separated? Cheng Fanjing noticed Lin Shanchu the moment she entered the banquet hall. Lin Shanchu was dressed in a designer ck gown. She had ck hair, fair skin and an attractive look with an extremely beautiful figure, looking eye-catching just by standing there. Cheng Fanjings eyes shed with a trace of disdain. This woman really knew how to steal the limelight. However, it did not matter. Since Lin Shanchu stole her limelight, she would steal her man. Sister Ming. Cheng Fanjing walked towards Lin Shanchu with a smile on her face. When she walked up to greet Ming Yao, she even pushed Lin Shanchu to the side. Lin Shanchu staggered. Lin Shanchu was confused. She was just standing there without provoking anyone! Why did Cheng Fanjing push her to the side? After Lin Shanchu steadied herself, she took strode towards Cheng Fanjing while twisting her waist, trying to push Cheng Fanjing. She used her strength. Then, Cheng Fanjing was caught off guard and fell to the ground. A woman next to Cheng Fanjing wanted to help her, but someone stopped her. Tang Qidai was the one who stopped the woman. Tang Qidai quietly took a step forward and sessfully stopped the woman from helping Cheng Fanjing up. Cheng Fanjing had seen much of life before. Even though she was pushed to the ground by Lin Shanchu in public, she did not curse out loud. Instead, she stood up elegantly and looked straight at Lin Shanchu. Miss Lin, if you have any misunderstandings about me, we can take our time and talk about it in private. Why did you have to use such a cheap trick to target me and make everyone so embarrassed? Her tone sounded helpless without the slightest hint of anger. In this way, she would appear magnanimous and make others think that Lin Shanchu was petty. Lin Shanchu never cared about these things. She curled her lip and smiled with her pure eyes. Everyone? Dont drag others down just because youre embarrassed. Everyone attending the cocktail party is well-dressed and look dignified. No one is as embarrassed as you. You should have some dignity. Lin Shanchu was ying word games with her? She was also well-educated. As soon as Lin Shanchu finished speaking, the surroundings became abnormally quiet. Ming Yao turned her face away and covered her lips with a smile. The other female guests also had simr reactions as Ming Yao. Men naturally would not stoop so low to participate in womens affairs. Cheng Fanjing grimaced. Miss Lin My sister-inw is notorious for her bad temper. Miss Cheng, you are famous for being generous and polite. In that case, please be tolerant of my sister-inw. A smiling male voice interrupted Cheng Fanjing. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a slender young man walking over slowly and smiling with his eyes. Unlike the guests who were dressed meticulously in suits, he wore a flowery shirt under his suit with three buttons unbuttoned at the cor, lookingzy and casual. Moreover. his charming eves were filled with amorousness as he smiled. Yun Wu held the mans arm and waved at Lin Shanchu happily. Shanshan! Yun Wu! Lin Shanchu had not seen Yun Wu for a long time, so she happily took two steps forward. Yun Wu let go of the mans arm and ran over. Your gown looks pretty today. I saw you the moment I came in. Yun Wu was the same as before. As long as she was in front of Lin Shanchu, she would turn into a sweet little girl and say all sorts of nice things. Lin Shanchus smile did not disappear as she replied, You look good today too. After Yun Wu finished chatting with Lin Shanchu, she remembered the man who had been left aside. She pulled over the man who spoke up for Lin Shanchu just now and introduced him to her. This is my second brother, Yun Jin. Lin Shanchu looked at Yun Jins familiar charming eyes and silently considered whether she should call him Second Brother as well. Yun Jin smiled and bent down slightly. Then, he moved closer to Lin Shanchu and said, Call me Second Brother. He looked friendly with that gentle tone. He was not as cold as Huo Xunzhou, nor was he as serious as Yun Yi. Lin Shanchu nced at Cheng Fanjing next to her, whose face turned pale in rage. Then, she called out with a smile, Second Brother. Attagirl! Yun Jin responded exaggeratedly. After that, he looked up at Huo Xunzhou and said, Sister-inw, you are so sensible. I came in a hurry today, so Ill make up for your first meeting giftter. Lin Shanchu did not understand why he was looking at Huo Xunzhou while talking to her. Furthermore, he looked like he was showing off. However, Yun Jin spoke up for her, so she felt that he was a good person. Thank you, Second Brother. When Lin Shanchu looked serious, she was exceptionally obedient. Huo Xunzhou, who had been silent all this while, shouted coldly, Yun Jin, are you done messing around?! Yun Jin frowned and pretended to be angry as he reached out to hug Huo Xunzhou over the shoulder. Zhouzhou, how can you talk to your brother like that? Be nice when you talk to your brother, okay? Huo Xunzhou avoided Yun Jins hand with an indifferent look on his face. Yun Jin was not angry. Instead, he smiled and leaned forward again. His shamelessness was not as imposing as before. Yun Wu stepped forward and held Lin Shanchus hand before she whispered, Come, lets go have fun. After walking for a distance, Lin Shanchu turned back and saw Yun Jin, who had been shamelessly trying to put his arm around Huo Xunzhous shoulder, standing obediently beside Huo Xunzhou like an elementary school student. Yun Wu noticed Lin Shanchus gaze and turned around to look as well. She thenughed. Third Brother has many ways to deal with Second Brother. Deal with him? Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Second Brother is only a few days older than Third Brother, Yun Wu exined. He cant beat Third Brother, but he likes to provoke him. Thats why Third Brother usually doesnt call him Second Brother. He just calls him by his name.. Chapter 402 - 402: You Have Not Been Absolved of Your Crimes, Yet You Want to Live a Good Life Chapter 402 - 402: You Have Not Been Absolved of Your Crimes, Yet You Want to Live a Good Life Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu finally understood why Yun Jin was looking smugly at Huo Xunzhou after she called him Second Brother. It turned out that this was the reason. Just ignore them. Lets go eat something. Yun Wu was only thinking of dinner, so she pulled Lin Shanchu and ran towards the dining table. Lin Shanchu did not have much of an appetite, so she sat at the side with her chin in her hands and watched Yun Wu pick up food. She realized that the Yun family had strong genes for charming eyes. All the siblings, including Huo Xunzhou, had charming eyes.
Tang Qidais voice came from behind her. Have you thought about what I told you on the phonest time? Lin Shanchu turned her head slightly and saw that Tang Qidai was sitting with her back facing her. She just leaned back slightly, so no one noticed that she was talking to Lin Shanchu. It was like a secret agent meeting. Have you considered the suggestion I gave you over the phone? Lin Shanchu asked, imitating Tang Qidais tone. What suggestion? Tang Qidai was confused at first, but then she remembered that Lin Shanchu had told her to turn herself in to get rid of Lu Shiyuans threat. Tang Qidai red up. She gripped the wine ss tightly and poured it into her mouth expressionlessly. Tang Qidais anger calmed down considerably after downing the ss of wine. Lin Shanchu, I really want to work with you this time. Im tired of all these years. The Cheng family has arranged a marriage for me. Im going to get engaged in a few days. I dont want to cause any more trouble, nor do I want to be entangled with Lu Shiyuan anymore. I just want to live a good life. As Tang Qidai spoke, she made a plea and lowered her posture, appearing sincere. Lin Shanchu looked down at the wine in her ss and kept quiet for a long time. When Tang Qidai saw that Lin Shanchu kept quiet, she thought that she did not heard her, so she called out again. Lin Shanchu? Live a good life Lin Shanchu repeated Tang Qidais words in a low voice andughed mockingly. What right do you have to live a good life? You have not been absolved of your crimes, yet you want to live a good life. You cant get the best of both worlds. Lin Shanchus voice was icy cold, and every word was like a needle that pricked Tang Qidais back. What do you mean? Ive already let bygones be bygones. What else do you want me to do? Its the end of the year, so its time to settle the ounts, Lin Shanchu said to herself as if she did not hear Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai was confused by Lin Shanchus words without rhyme or reason. Lin Shanchu, why are you speaking in riddles? Are you even listening to me? I really Daidai, why are you here? Ill take you to meet a few people. Tang Qidai was interrupted by a mans voice. rne voice sounaeaminar. Lin Shanchu turned around to take a look. After taking a look at the mans appearance, Lin Shanchu curled her lip slowly. What a coincidence. Wasnt this Zhai Ci, who had been stabbed by her at the clubhouse the other day? When Zhai Ci saw Lin Shanchu, his face darkened instantly. However, he had seen Yun Jin publicly disrespecting Cheng Fanjing and speaking up for Lin Shanchu just now. He knew that Lin Shanchu was protected by the Yun family, so he could only suppress his anger. Alright. Tang Qidai had a guilty conscience, so she did not notice Zhai Cis unusual behavior. Smiling, she stood up and held his arm. The two of them held hands intimately and left. Zhai Ci was Tang Qidais engagement partner. Tsk. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction the two of them had left for a while before looking away. When she turned around, she saw a waiter pushing a dining cart to refill the food on the dining table. The waiter raised his eyes and smiled at Lin Shanchu. Then, he ced some strawberry tarts closest to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu loved strawberry-rted food when she was a young girl. However, she no longer liked it now. Lu Shiyuans understanding of her preferences stopped many years ago. Lin Shanchu was not surprised to see Lu Shiyuan at the cocktail party. After all, he was the male lead that the system had to protect even if it vited the rules. Naturally, he had to create an opportunity for him to meet Lin Shanchu. Right after Lu Shiyuan set up the strawberry tarts, Huo Xunzhou walked over. He turned to leave, but Huo Xunzhou stopped him. Huo Xunzhou nced at the strawberry tarts on the dining table and ordered indifferently, Send all these to Miss Cheng. He simply ordered the waiter around in a calm tone, as if he did not recognize Lu Shiyuan. However, Lu Shiyuan knew very well that Huo Xunzhou recognized him. He even thought that Huo Xunzhou did it on purpose. He used to be a famous person, but now he had to be ordered around by Huo Xunzhou, which made him feel inferior. This kind of disparity made him feel extremely embarrassed. Huo Xunzhou asked unhurriedly, Didnt you hear what I said? Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth and reached out to ce the strawberry tarts on the tray one by one before sending them to Cheng Fanjing. Huo Xunzhou watched him leave with a deep gaze. Did he think that he coulde over and annoy his girlfriend just because he was under the plots control? He should just quit the idea! When Huo Xunzhou turned around, he met Lin Shanchus half-smiling eyes. Her eyes were full of insight. Huo Xunzhou adjusted his tie to hide his awkwardness. Lin Shanchu took out her phone and sent Huo Xunzhou a WeChat message. Lin Shanchu: [Brother Xunzhou, you are so petty.] Huo Xunzhous phone was on silent mode, but he had turned on WeChat message alert. After he sat down on a chair not far from Lin Shanchu, he took out his phone to read the message. Lin Shanchu soon received Huo Xunzhous reply. Huo Xunzhou replied: [Indeed, Im not as magnanimous as you, Shanshan. You watched me bring another woman to the cocktail party and just turned a blind eye.] Although he was standing beside Cheng Fanjing, he had been paying attention to Lin Shanchu. Otherwise, he would not have discovered Lu Shiyuans existence at the first moment. Lin Shanchu: [Thank you for your hard work. [Huggle.jpg]] Huo Xunzhou: Yun Wu walked over with arge te of food. The Jiang familys cocktail party is really good. The food is really delicious. Yeah. Lin Shanchu replied without even raising her head, appearing perfunctory. Yun Wu asked curiously, Who are you texting? Lin Shanchu immediately showed Yun Wu the chat history between her and Huo Xunzhou. Yun Wu frowned at the sight of the chat history. Third Brother didnt reply to you? Why is he like this?! Yun Wu looked in Huo Xunzhous direction indignantly. Huh? Lin Shanchu was stunned as she replied, He replied me though. Yun Wu looked at her in confusion and asked, What reply? Didnt you send all these messages? Puzzled, Lin Shanchu took out her phone and looked at it carefully. Huo Xunzhou had just replied to her message. Could it be that Yun Wu couldnt see Huo Xunzhous message? Chapter 403 - 403: Wishful Thinking Chapter 403 - 403: Wishful Thinking Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As Yun Wu spoke, she frowned and red at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou nced indifferently at Yun Wu before looking down at Lin Shanchus message. Lin Shanchu: [Yun Wu cant see the messages you replied to me.] Huo Xunzhou: [No wonder she red at me so hard her eyes almost popped out.] Lin Shanchu turned to look at Yun Wu. Yun Wu stared at Huo Xunzhou while she was eating food, as if she wanted to chew him up and devour him.
Lin Shanchu couldnt help butugh. Lin Shanchu: [It seems like the plot has a wide range of restrictions. Not only has it restricted you, but it restricted other people as well.] The stupid system was extremely sinister. She felt her arm being hit by Yun Wu. Shanshan, that woman surnamed Cheng ising over. Yun Wus tone sounded like she wanted to cause trouble. Cheng Fanjing came to Huo Xunzhou to thank him. Thank you for the strawberry tarts. Huo Xunzhou did not want to respond to her, but his body had a mind of its own. His hand went against his will and pressed the lock button on the phone. Then, he raised his head and looked at Cheng Fanjing, responding to what she had just said. Youre wee. I hope you can deal with those messed-up women around you as soon as possible before we talk about our rtionship. Cheng Fanjing was satisfied with Huo Xunzhous performance today. He was much more considerate to her today thanst time. He even asked someone to send her favorite strawberry tarts. Third Brother, Grandpa said that when Second Brotheres back, he wants the family to go back to the old mansion for a meal and a gathering. Later, Shanshan and I will go back in your car. Yun Wu heard Cheng Fanjings words clearly, but she did not defend herself. Instead, she used the word family to clear Lin Shanchus name. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and nodded in the end. As Cheng Fanjings face stiffened, her tone was filled with suppressed anger. Mr. Huo! Did you hear what I said just now? Yun Wu sat down next to Huo Xunzhou and said seriously, Third Brother, Grandpa said that youre now the acting president of Huo Corporation. Your reputation is very important. He wants you to stay away from those messed-up women outside. Everyone knew that the Huo family and the Cheng family were interested in a marriage alliance. However, Huo Xunzhou kept quiet at that time, so the Yun family did not say anything about it either. However, the members of the Yun family were not stupid. They could tell that Cheng Fanjing had been trying to please Huo Chaosheng because she despised Huo Xunzhou. As a result, the members of the Yun family did not have a good impression of Cheng Fanjing. Lin Shanchu was the girlfriend that Huo Xunzhou had personally brought back to the Yun family to introduce to everyone. Both parties had even formally met each others guardians, so it was natural that the members of the Yun family only recognized Lin Shanchu. Although the recent breakup between the two had caused a lot ofmotion, the members of the Yun family knew Huo Xunzhous character. He cared about the person whom he personally brought home, so it was impossible for him to change his mind so quickly. Therefore, the members of the Yun family only recognized Lin Shanchu. Otherwise, Yun Jin would not have spoken up for Lin Shanchu. Miss Yun, can you not interrupt me while Im talking to Mr. Huo? Cheng Fanjing could tell that the messed-up women Yun Wu mentioned was referring to her. Yun Wu replied with a smile, Miss Cheng, Im passing on my grandfathers words to my Third Brother. Can you respect my grandfather and not interrupt Cheng Fanjing naturally had nothing to say when Yun Wu mentioned Patriarch Yun. She left in anger. After Cheng Fanjing walked away, Yun Wu leaned over to Huo Xunzhou with a sullen face and asked, Third Brother, what are you doing? You wont have a wife if you are like this, do you know that? Huo Xunzhou shouted indifferently, Kids shouldnt meddle in adult matters! Yun Wu was speechless. Huo Xunzhou stood up and left. Lin Shanchu, who was watching the whole process from a distance, couldnt help but chuckle. Yun Wu ran over to Lin Shanchu andined, My Third Brother couldnt have been possessed, could he? Maybe. Lin Shanchu nodded thoughtfully. Yun Wu was puzzled. She seriously suspected that she had missed something. In just a few short months, Huo Xunzhoul s temperament changed drastically and he was associated with the Cheng familys woman. Moreover, Lin Shanchu also spoke in riddles. At this moment, Lin Shanchu, who was initiallyzy, suddenly sat up straight. Uncle Yun Wu looked around and asked, Where is your uncle? Which one is your uncle? Yun Wu was not at home when the guardians of both parties met each other, but she knew that Lin Shanchus uncle had returned to the country. Lin Shanchu pointed at a man and replied, That man whose clothes being stripped off by Miss Jiang with her eyes is my uncle. Pfft! Yun Wu was amused by Lin Shanchus description. However, after Yun Wu took a closer look, she realized that Lin Shanchu was not exaggerating at all. The way Jiang Weizhu looked at Lin Suguang was so explicit that she almost looked like she wanted to sleep with him. After a moment of silence, Yun Wu turned to Lin Shanchu and said, Your uncle and you look alike. Yeah, Lin Shanchu responded before she got up and walked towards Lin Suguang and Jiang Weizhu. Uncle. When Lin Suguang saw Lin Shanchu, he felt like he had met his savior. Shanshan, youre here Lin Suguang wanted toe over to look for Lin Shanchu, but Jiang Weizhu held onto his arm so tightly that he could not leave. Shanshan, youre here. Jiang Weizhu smiled and looked at Lin Shanchu with a friendly expression. Lin Shanchu replied, Yeah. She was not that close to Jiang Weizhu. It was obvious that Jiang Weizhu was serious about hooking up with her uncle. Lin Shanchu smiled at Jiang Weizhu and said, Miss Jiang, I would like to have a word with my uncle. Jiang Weizhu then released Lin Suguangs arm and said gently, Mister Lin, Ill wait for you. As soon as she let go of Lin Suguangs arm, he quickly walked to Lin Shanchus side. Why are you here? Lin Shanchu asked him after the two of them walked to the side. Judging from his attitude of avoiding Jiang Weizhu, he certainly did note here after epting her invitation. I heard that you were here too, so I came over to take a look, Lin Suguang said gently with a smile on his face. Lin Shanchus intuition told her that Lin Suguang was lying. If Lin Suguang just wanted toe over and take a look, he would have told her in advance. However, Lin Shanchu did not expose him. If you dont want to stay with Miss Jiang,e with me. Its okay. Miss Jiang is actually a nice person. Lin Shanchu really could not understand her uncle. At this moment, the phone screen in her hand lit up with a new WeChat notification appearing on the lock screen. Lin Shanchu turned on WeChat in front of Lin Suguang. Huo Xunzhou: [Grandfather asked me to bring you home for dinner.] Just as Lin Shanchu was about to reply to the message, she heard Lin Suguang say softly, He brought another woman to the cocktail party and now he wants to bring you home for dinner. Thats just wishful thinking. Surprised, Lin Shanchu looked up at Lin Suguang and asked, Uncle, you can see it? Chapter 404 - 404: Now That You Are Getting Married, He Is Starting to Have Problems? Chapter 404 - 404: Now That You Are Getting Married, He Is Starting to Have Problems? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Of course I can see such arge font size. Im not blind, Lin Suguang added under Lin Shanchus surprised gaze. Lin Shanchu showed Lin Suguang the chat history. Can you see these messages too? I can.
Lin Suguangs gaze stopped at the message: [Indeed, Im not as magnanimous as you, Shanshan. You watched me bring another woman to the cocktail party and just turned a blind eye.] He really could not believe that Huo Xunzhou, who usually looked so serious, would type such a message. Lin Shanchu noticed his gaze and embarrassedly withdrew her hand to press the lock button. Lin Suguang looked at her with a faint smile and said, Miss Jiang is still waiting for me. Ill go over now. He left after saying those words. Lin Shanchu was left awkwardly covering her face. After that, she went around to find Nan Mu and deliberately pretended to be disappointed to worm information out of him. Huo Xunzhou hasnt given you a wee party since you came to Capital City, right? Hearing Lin Shanchu mention it, Nan Mu snorted coldly. I told him to give me a wee party. I asked him out for a meal and he said he didnt have time. I wonder what hes busy with! Lin Shanchu sighed. I dont know what hes busy with either. Ever since Nan Mu came to Capital City, he had not had a meal with Huo Xunzhou. It seemed that he did not know much about Huo Xunzhous situation. If Huo Xunzhou did not confess himself, then she could only worm information out of Li MO, who was closest to him. It was much easier to worm information out of Li Mo. When the cocktail party ended, Lin Shanchu looked around for Lin Suguang, wanting to go home with him. In the end, she could not find him even after looking around. Instead, he saw Jiang Weizhu. Are you looking for your uncle? Did you see him? Hes already gone back. Didnt he tell you? Lin Shanchu thought for a moment. Perhaps her uncle believed that Huo Xunzhou had not changed his mind after seeing her chat history with him. He thought that Huo Xunzhou would take her home, so he did not wait for her. When Lin Shanchu went out, Yun Wu was waiting for her at the entrance. Shanshan,e quickly. Youre the only one left. Yun Wu pulled her into Huo Xunzhous car. However, Lin Shanchu sat in the passenger seat while Yun Wu sat in the back. Right after Lin Shanchu fastened the seatbelt, she heard Yun Jins voice from behind her. Sister-inw. Second Lin Shanchu subconsciously wanted to call him Second Brother but Huo Xunzhou suddenly started the car and interrupted Lin Shanchu. Yun Jin was dissatisfied with Huo Xunzhou. Zhouzhou, dont be so petty. Its fine if youre insensible and dont call me Second Brother, but you wont let your wife call me Second Brother! What kind of brother are you? If Lin Shanchu had not seen Yun Jin standing obediently beside Huo Xunzhou before, she would probably have thought that Yun Jin could really control him. Huo Xunzhou shouted expressionlessly, Shut up! Im not in that kind of rtionship with her! Tch. Yun Jin said disdainfully, Thats not what you said when you begged me to hack into Lu Corporations power supply system for your wife. Lin Shanchu remembered it. Back when Lu Shiyuans criminal evidence was erased, she had a mental breakdown and ran to Lu Corporation to smash things. Later on, when she went to the rooftop and was brought down by Huo Xunzhou, the entire building of Lu Corporation had a power outage. She found it strange at the time. She did not expect that Huo Xunzhou would ask Yun Jin to do it. She turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. How many more things had this man done behind the scenes without her Imowledge? Yun Jin could tell from Lin Shanchus expression that she did not know about it. Sister-inw, you still dont know about this? He didnt tell me. Huo Xunzhou was a reserved person who was especially good at hiding things. If Yun Jin had not told her today, Huo Xunzhou would probably have hidden it from her for the rest of his life. It would not affect him much if he said it out loud. However, Huo Xunzhou would never take the initiative to tell her as long as he felt that there was no need to do so. He did not Imow how he had developed this habit. Huo Xunzhou, who was deeply restricted by the plot in front of outsiders, said expressionlessly, Lets not talk about the past anymore. Yun Jin continued to provoke Huo Xunzhou. Sister-inw, I advise you to consider it carefully before you get married. Its better not to marry this kind a man. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Huo Xunzhou nced at Yun Jin through the rearview mirror. His eyes were filled with killing intent. Yun Wu silently hugged her arms and leaned against the car door away from Yun Jin. She had to stay far away. Otherwise, she would be identally injured when Huo Xunzhou assassinated Yun Jinter. Yun Jin felt a chill run down his spine from Huo Xunzhous piercing gaze, so he finallv st0DDed talking. But soon, Lin Shanchus phone rang with a WeChat friend request notification. Yun Jin found Lin Shanchus WeChat contact in the Yun family group and sent her a friend request. Lin Shanchu stole a nce at Huo Xunzhou and epted the friend request. Lin Shanchu: [Second Brother.] Yun Jin: [Your man is so fierce.] Lin Shanchu: [Actually, he can be quite gentle sometimes.] Yun Jin: [Its okay. Our Yun family is very open-minded. We can understand you if you want to dump him because you really cant stand him.] Lin Shanchu was puzzled. He was really Huo Xunzhous cousin. Huo Xunzhou drove straight to the Yun familys mansion. The old couple of the Yun family were overjoyed to see Lin Shanchu, but they made a long face as soon as they saw Huo Xunzhou. Patriarch Yun snorted coldly and lectured Huo Xunzhou. You just worked for a few days at that smallpany, Huo Corporation. Whats there to be proud Although he doted on Huo Xunzhou, he disliked the fact that Huo Xunzhou had a dinner date with Cheng Fanjing after he and Lin Shanchu met each others guardians. Lin Shanchu was speechless, wondering if Huo Corporation was a smallpany. Huo Xunzhou was speechless. Huo Xunzhou sat there with his eyes slightly lowered and kept quiet, looking obedient as Patriarch Yun lectured him. Lin Shanchus heart ached a little. Huo Xunzhou had been forced to do so, and now he was being scolded by the old man. How pitiful. She spoke up for Huo Xunzhou. Grandpa, hes not proud. Dont talk about him like that. Patriarch Yun looked at Lin Shanchu in disappointment. Then, he leaned over and whispered into her ear. Can you be more careful? He even dared to go out on a dinner date with another woman. How can you not teach him a lesson? Lin Shanchu was speechless. Huo Xunzhous grandfather was quite considerate of her. Lin Shanchu continued to speak up for Huo Xunzhou, You know him best. He must have his own problems. What kind of problems? Patriarch Yun said disdainfully. Why didnt he talk about his problems when he courted you back then? Now that you are getting married, he is starting to have problems? Lin Shanchu was speechless. The old mans words sounded so reasonable that Lin Shanchu could not refute him. She was sessfully convinced by the old man and gave Huo Xunzhou a look, trying to signal him that she was unable to help him.. Chapter 405 - 405: Was This Also Destined? Chapter 405 - 405: Was This Also Destined? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Patriarch Yun did not really bear tombaste Huo Xunzhou. After criticizing Huo Xunzhou a little, he muttered, Im so tired and sleepy. Then, he got up and went back to his room to sleep, leaving only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou in the room. She got up to close the door, but Huo Xunzhou pulled her into his arms the moment she turned around. Huo Xunzhou hugged her tightly with a satisfied sighing from above her.
Lin Shanchu hugged him in return without a word. The two of them embraced each other quietly for a while before Huo Xunzhou lowered his voice and said, You didnt have to speak up for me in front of Grandfather. No. Lin Shanchu shook her head in his arms and said in a muffled voice, You were used in the first ce. But Ive been really annoying recently, Huo Xunzhou replied emotionlessly in a deep voice. I dont hate you. Youre still my favorite, my favorite Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu said the word favorite twice and emphasized it. Huo Xunzhou chuckled. Me too. This criticism was not in vain. By the way, my uncle could see our chat history. Lin Shanchu struggled out of his embrace and looked up at him. Huo Xunzhou helped her tidy up her messy hair and pulled her aside to sit down. Yun Wu couldnt see it, so why could he? I dont know. Lin Shanchu could not figure it out either. After pondering for a while, Huo Xunzhou asked her seriously, What was your uncles original ending? Lin Shanchus expression changed slightly and her face paled. He was killed by Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan Lu Shiyuan was also present at the cocktail party. Did her uncle go to the cocktail party because of Lu Shiyuan? Lin Shanchu stood up with a swoosh and said, My uncle came to look for Lu Shiyuan. She had already tried her best to avoid letting Lu Shiyuan meet her uncle. However, her uncle took the initiative to look for Lu Shiyuan. Was this also destined? Her uncles original ending was death. Although Lu Shiyuan no longer had the male lead aura, he still had the help of the system. Lin Shanchu did not even dare to think about the real purpose of her uncle looking for Lu Shiyuan. She only knew that her uncle really went to look for Lu Shiyuan, he would definitely not get any benefits. When Huo Xunzhou saw that Lin Shanchus expression had changed and looked unusually flustered, hefortingly held her hand. Dont worry too much. Lets go back to the cocktail party to look for him now. His voice was gentle, calming down Lin Shanchu gradually. Lin Shanchu turned around and walked out in a panic. Just as she was about to open the door, she remembered that the plot definitely would not allow Huo Xunzhou to stay by her side. I have an idea, Huo Xunzhou whispered, guessing what she was thinking. After the two of them came out of the room, Lin Shanchu stayed in the living room and called Lin Suguang while waiting for Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou turned around and went upstairs. Right after Yun Jin came out of the shower, he saw Huo Xunzhou push open the door and walk straight into his walk-in closet. Yun Jins walk-in closet was colorful and was zoned ording to the seasonsspring, summer, autumn and winter. The colors of the clothes also matched the weather and mood. After taking a nce, Huo Xunzhou knew that it was impossible to pick out a set of in clothes. Without hesitation, he casually chose a set and put it on. Yun Jin wiped his hair and walked over slowly. Im the one who provoked you, not my clothes. Donty your hands on my clothes, or else Ill fight you to the death. Yun Jin was stunned when he saw Huo Xunzhou finish changing his clothes. Didnt you say that my clothes were rags? Why are you stealing my clothes Huo Xunzhou corrected him. Im borrowing your clothes. Hmph! Yun Jin snorted. Ill lend you the clothes if you call me Second Brother. Huo Xunzhou ignored him and straightened his clothes in front of the mirror. Go pick up the motorcycle you posted on your Moments tomorrow. His tone was so calm that Yun Jin thought he had misheard him. You still follow my Moments? I thought you blocked me Hehe. After Yun Jin finishedughing, he suddenly reacted. What did you say? New motorbike? Really? Dont lie to me, okay? Forget it if you dont want it. Huo Xunzhou went to pick a hat after straightening up his clothes. Yun Jin ran over eagerly to help him choose a hat. He took a diamond-studded hat and was about to put it on Huo Xunzhous head. Wear this. This is the most expensive. It suits your noble temperament the most. Huo Xunzhou frowned in disgust. He took a hat without any patterns or decorations and put it on himself. Finally, he put on a scarf. When Yun Jin saw him pulling a scarf and hat to cover his face, he asked, Are you dressing up like this to go out and kill someone? Im leaving. Huo Xunzhou ignored him and turned to leave. Yun Jin followed behind Huo Xunzhou curiously and saw him leave with Lin Shanchu in his arms. He was suddenly enlightened. This young couple really knew how to have fun. My uncle hasnt been answering my calls. Lin Shanchu called Lin Suguang several times, but no one picked up the phone. Dont panic. You can try calling Miss Jiang, Huo Xunzhou said patiently in a gentle voice. Alright. Lin Shanchu obediently responded. Then, she found Jiang Weizhus number and called her. Jiang Weizhu quickly picked up the call. Shanshan? Jiang Weizhu fluently called her by her nickname now. Lin Shanchu asked directly, Have you seen my uncle? Almost immediately, Jiang Weizhu replied, I didnt see him. Something was fishy when she denied it too quickly. Anxious, Lin Shanchu did not want to beat around the bush with her. Tell me the truth, she said coldly. When the cocktail party was about to end, your uncle came to me. Lin Shanchu turned on the speaker. Huo Xunzhou heard Jiang Weizhus words and stepped on the elerator, speeding up. Jiang Weizhus words confirmed their guess. Lin Suguang must have gone to look for Lu Shiyuan. What happened? Jiang Weizhu asked her. Where are you guys? Ill bring someone over now. Lin Shanchu asked, Are you still at the cocktail party? Jiang Weizhu replied, Yeah. Only the waiters were left to clean up the mess in the previously bustling banquet hall. Shanshan! Jiang Weizhu was still wearing her gown. She jogged over while holding up the hem of her gown. When she looked at Huo Xunzhou next to Lin Shanchu, she called out uncertainly, Second Young Master Yun? Huo Xunzhous figure was somewhat simr to Yun Jins. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou had pulled down his hat and lowered his head to cover his face tightly. Hence, Jiang Weizhu could only guess that he was Yun Jin. Other than Yun Jin, she could not think of anyone else who would dress like this. Huo Xunzhou just nodded at Jiang Weizhu without a word. Jiang Weizhu felt that Yun Jin was a little reserved tonight, but she was thinking about Lin Suguang and had no time to overthink it. What happened to your uncle? Lets look at the surveince footage first. Jiang Weizhu turned around and led them to the surveince room. I received your call earlier, so I got someone to check the surveince footage.. Chapter 406 - 406: Bloody Handprint Chapter 406 - 406: Bloody Handprint Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Lin Shanchu and the others arrived at the surveince room, the staff had already prepared the surveince footage. The surveince showed that Lin Suguang walked out of the crowd after Lin Shanchu left. He went to the entrance to check if Lin Shanchu had left. Then, he returned to the cocktail party and left with a waiter. Whos that? Jiang Weizhu asked after pressing the pause button and leaning closer to the screen.
Lu Shiyuan. The waiter in the surveince camera did not show his face, but Lin Shanchu could recognize Lu Shiyuan just by looking at his figure. The matter between Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan had previously caused a hugemotion, so Jiang Weizhu was naturally aware of it. Whats Lin Suguang doing with Lu Shiyuan? Jiang Weizhus voice trailed off as she spoke. It was because she already had the answer in her heart. One was Lu Shiyuan who had hurt Lin Shanchu, whereas the other was Lin Shanchus uncle. What else could he do? T .in Shanchu grimaced- After watching the surveince footage at the cocktail party, she looked at the surveince footage at the hotel entrance. Standing aside, Huo Xunzhou adjusted the speed and quickly finished watching the surveince footage. Then, he whispered to Lin Shanchu, Your uncle hasnt left the hotel. Lin Shanchu muttered, Hes still in the hotel. Ill get someone to look for him now. Jiang Weizhu had already taken out her phone and called her subordinates to look for him. This hotel was huge and was the Jiang familys own property, so Jiang Weizhu was familiar with itsyout. After Jiang Weizhu dispatched people to eliminate most of the areas, only the rooftop and the back kitchen, which were rarely visited, were left. Lets go to the rooftop first Ill go. Huo Xunzhou suddenly interrupted Jiang Weizhu. Jiang Weizhu looked at Huo Xunzhou in surprise and asked, Second Young Master Yun, why is your voice hoarse? Wasnt he fine at the cocktail party earlier? If it were not for the simr figure, she would have suspected that this silent person in front of her was not Yun Jin. When Huo Xunzhou was an actor, he had strong oratory skills. He could imitate Yun Jins speech very well, but he was toozy to imitate Yun Jins sloppy tone, so he pretended that his throat was ufortable. Lin Shanchu understood what Huo Xunzhou was thinking, so she exined to Jiang Weizhu, Second Brother went home and had a big fight with Huo Xunzhou. He shouted too loudly and his voice went hoarse. Oh. Jiang Weizhu felt that this reason was not very convincing, but on second thought, it sounded reasonable because the person involved was the second young master of the Yun family. Huo Xunzhou pulled Lin Shanchu aside and whispered to her, Ill go to the rooftop. You and Miss Jiang go to the back kitchen. Call me if you need anything. Lin Shanchu nodded obediently and replied, Alright, be careful. The two of them spoke in lowered voices. Jiang Weizhu could not hear what they were saying, but she felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little strange. They were a little too intimate. Huo Xunzhou left quickly. Lin Shanchu followed Jiang Weizhu to the back kitchen. It was alreadyte at night. Most of the employees in the back kitchen had already gotten off work, leaving only a few chefs on duty. The kitchen was huge, but the items were arranged in an orderly manner. Everything could be seen at a nce, and there were not many ces for people to hide themselves. Moreover, Lin Suguang would certainly notmunicate harmoniously with Lu Shiyuan if he went to look for him. Themotion would definitely be big. They had already searched the back kitchen, but there were still no signs of the two of them. At this moment, Lin Shanchus phone rang. She nced down at the screen and saw that it was a call from Huo Xunzhou. She then cautiously pretended to cover the screen and picked up the call. Theres no one on the rooftop. Theres nothing in the back kitchen either. Lin Shanchus heart sank upon hearing his words. Dont worry, Ille down now. Huo Xunzhouforted her. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone and shook her head at Jiang Weizhu. At this moment, the voices of employees could be heard from afar. We have to go to the cold storage warehouse again tomorrow to take inventory Were on the night shift today. We can rest tomorrow. We dont have to go to the cold storage warehouse. I just went to the cold storage warehouse to get something. The hotel is doing well this quarter. Theres not much left.. Lin Shanchu followed the voices and looked over. Noticing her action, Jiang Weizhu immediately said, Ill take you there. The two of them rushed to the cold storage warehouse and asked the staff to open therge door. Lin Shanchu walked in and smelled a strong fishy smell. Jiang Weizhu was also a little unustomed to this smell, but still she frowned and walked in with Lin Shanchu. Your uncle looks like such a gentle person. I didnt expect him to be so tormenting. She could not hide the worry in her tone. Yeah. Lin Shanchu sighed. If it were not for her, her uncle would have lived a carefree life without such a torment. Uncle! Lin Shanchu called out to Lin Suguang as she strode inside. Bang! There was amotion at therge door. Next, a staff member shouted, Someone ran out! Lin Shanchu turned around and ran to the door, only to see a bloody handprint on the door. It had just been printed. The blood had not coagted yet. When Jiang Weizhu followed her and saw this, her expression changed. Director Jiang, should we call the police? the staff asked softly. Dont call the police yet. Jiang Weizhu nced at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu observed the bloody handprint on the door for a moment. Then, she suddenly turned around and ran inside like a madwoman. Uncle! Just as Jiang Weizhu was about to follow her, she saw Huo Xunzhou walking towards her. Second Young Master Yun. Jiang Weizhu called out to him and briefly told Huo Xunzhou what had happened. Huo Xunzhou ran inside after hearing that. Shanshan! The cold storage warehouse was huge, but fortunately, there were not many goods. Therefore, Huo Xunzhou quickly found Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was kneeling on the ground in front of Lin Suguang, whose head was covered in blood. Her hand was in the air, but she dared not check Lin Suguangs breathing. Huo Xunzhou quickly walked forward and reached out to check Lin Suguangs carotid artery. When he felt Lin Suguangs carotid artery still throbbing, Huo Xunzhous furrowed brows rxed slightly. He reached out to help Lin Shanchu up. Then, he looked seriously into her eyes and enunciated, Shanshan, dont be afraid. Your uncle is going to be fine. Lets take him to the hospital. Lin Shanchu muttered repeatedly, Hes going to be fine Hes going to be fine, Huo Xunzhou said firmly. The patient is only in a shorta. The wound on his head has been sutured. He will wake up soon. Thank you, Doctor. Huo Xunzhou thanked the doctor and turned to look at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu sat by the bed and stared at Lin Suguang without blinking. Did you hear what the doctor said? Huo Xunzhou asked her gently after he saw the doctor off. He said that your uncle will wake up soon. Lin Shanchu nodded. After a short while, Lin Suguang woke up. Uncle! Lin Shanchu asked hurriedly, How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell? Chapter 407 - 407: He Looked at You With the Same Gaze Chapter 407 - 407: He Looked at You With the Same Gaze Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion However, Lin Suguang did not answer Lin Shanchus question. He sized Lin Shanchu up as if he had never seen her before. Lin Shanchus expression froze as she asked, Uncle? Lin Suguang continued to look at her, but he did not respond to her address. Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and asked, Has my uncle lost his memory after getting hit in the head?
Huo Xunzhou nced at Lin Suguang and replied, Ill call the doctor. Just as he stood up, Lin Suguang, who had been staring at Lin Shanchu, spoke. You are Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu looked at each other. Since Lin Suguang could call out Lin Shanchus name, it meant that he did not lose his memory. However, the way he looked at Lin Shanchu was unfamiliar. Lin Shanchu replied with a nod, Thats right. Then, Lin Suguang asked without rhyme or reason, Are you alright? Im fine. Lin Shanchu felt that it was strange, but still she seriously answered his question. Then, he looked at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was standing at the moment. Although half of his face was covered, Lin Suguang could easily see his eyes from his angle. Anyone who was familiar with him would be able to recognize him just by looking at his eyes. Lin Suguang called out uncertainly, Huo Xunzhou? Huo Xunzhou replied, Its me. Why are you dressed like this? Lin Suguang frowned and his tone was filled with doubt. Lin Shanchu exined softly, Hes wearing Second Brothers clothes. Oh. Lin Suguangs expression rxed slightly. He looked relieved. Lin Shanchu could not understand why her uncle was suddenly so concerned about Huo Xunzhous style of dressing. At this moment, Jiang Weizhu pushed open the door and entered the ward. Is he awake? She thought that Lin Suguang was still asleep, so she deliberately lowered her voice. Lin Suguang heard themotion and turned to look at Jiang Weizhu. Youre awake! Jiang Weizhus eyes brightened as she strode over. Lin suguang 100Ked at ng welznu witn eyes tull ot scrutiny. Atter a wnue, ne seemed to have finally confirmed her identity and called out to her, Jiang Weizhu? Didnt you call me Miss Jiang before? Jiang Weizhu was stunned for a moment before sheughed again. Do we know each other? Lin Suguang fell into deep thought after saying that. Jiang Weizhu looked puzzledly at Lin Shanchu and asked, Whats going on? Lin Shanchu spread her hands, indicating that she did not know either. When Jiang Weizhu came in, Huo Xunzhou went out to call the doctor silently. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou walked in behind the doctor. The patient is awake. At Lin Shanchus request, the doctor examined Lin Suguang again. The wound on the patients head isnt deep. He can be discharged if hes fine after a day of observation. But My uncle is a little strange. He can call out my name, but he doesnt seem to know me. The doctor was also puzzled after hearing her words. That shouldnt be the case. The doctor muttered as he took out Lin Suguangs brain CT scan report and looked at it again. The wound is very shallow. Its just a superficial injury and hasnt reached the level of a brain injury. His nervous function is normal, so its impossible for him to show symptoms of cognitive disorder Lin Shanchu was shocked. Could it be that Lu Shiyuan had done something to her uncle and caused him to be like this? Lin Suguang showed no other conditions after a day of observation in the hospital, so the doctor said that he could be discharged. Lin Shanchu was still worried. Before Lin Suguang was discharged, she took him for a full-body checkup. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, she left the hospital with Lin Suguang. The day Lin Suguang was discharged from the hospital was a working day. Huo Xunzhou had to go to thepany, so he sent Li MO to pick Lin Suguang up. Yun Wu also came over. She even brought a bouquet of flowers. Uncle, congrattions on your discharge from the hospital. Lin Suguang took the flowers and said with a smile, Thank you, Yun Wu. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Did her unclee to his senses and be a people person? Yun Wu was also stunned. Youre wee. Hurry up and get in the car. She followed Lin Shanchu and called Lin Suguang Uncle, but in fact, she was not familiar with Lin Suguang. She did not expect Lin Suguang to call her Yun Wu as soon as she met him. Lin Suguang held the car door and said, You go first, Yun Wu. Yun Wu did not stand on ceremony and obediently got into the car. Then, he turned to look at Lin Shanchu and gestured for her to get into the car. Shanshan. After Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu got into the car, he slowly got in like a father. After getting into the car, he took the initiative to chat with Yun Wu. You must be very busy with work, right? Im very busy recently. Yun Wu did not know why Huo Xunzhou had not arranged a lot of work for her recently. She guessed that perhaps Huo Xunzhou felt that he felt more secure after meeting Lin Shanchus guardian, so he was no longer jealous of her and treated her better. After that, Lin Suguang chatted with Yun Wu about her work. Finally, Lin Suguang said with a fatherly smile, Yun Wu, you are so awesome. Lin Shanchu was confused. Why did her uncle be like an old father now? Lin Shanchu did not understand him, and Yunwu was also confused. After arriving at Lin Shanchus house, Yun Wu pulled her to the side to chat softly. Your uncle is so talkative. He wasnt like this before. He seems to care about me. He Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and changed her tune. I think so too. Yun Wu nced in Lin Suguangs direction. After making sure that Lin Suguang was not paying attention to them, she continued, The way your uncle looked at me was the same as the way my father looked at me. Lin Shanchu agreed, I noticed it too. Yun Wu reminded her, He looked at you with the same gaze. Lin Shanchu replied, Hes my uncle. Its normal for him to look at me like Im his daughter. Yun Wu asked, So, you mean that its abnormal for your uncle to look at me like hes looking at his daughter? Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment before she replied, I think that hes physically and mentally abnormal after the head injury. Yun Wu followed Lin Shanchus line of sight and saw Lin Suguang curiously switching channels with a remote control to watch some drama. In the end, he chose a channel that aired a romantic idol drama. The aired plot was about the sweet date between the male and female lead. Yun Wu said, Your uncle, he Lin Shanchu said faintly, In the past, he only liked watching shows like Man and Nature and National Geography. Yun Wu was speechless. Lin Suguang smiled as he watched TV. He was obviously very satisfied with the plot. Lin Shanchu turned to Yun Wu with mixed feelings and said, Why dont you stay for dinner? What do you want to eat? Ill make it now. Ill help you in the kitchen. After hearing what Lin Shanchu said, Yun Wu also felt that her uncles change was quite weird and was a little scared.. Chapter 408 - 408: Are You Really My Uncle? Chapter 408 - 408: Are You Really My Uncle? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu walked past the living room and subconsciously lightened their footsteps. They were afraid that Lin Suguang would cast a fatherly gaze at them and ask them to watch the old-fashioned romantic drama with him. However, it was going to happen in due time. Shanshan, Yun Wu Were going to cook, Lin Shanchu interrupted him with a wary expression.
Lin Suguang was slightly disappointed as he said, Oh, you guys go ahead then. Dont cook for me. Im not going to eat. Lin Shanchu immediately sized him up nervously and asked, Why arent you going to eat? Are you feeling sick? Lin Suguang waved his hand and replied, Because I dont need to eat. Lin Shanchu was bewildered. Lin Suguang seemed to realize that he had mispoken and immediately changed the topic. Why isnt Huo Xunzhouing over to cook for you? Why does he have toe over to cook? Lin Suguang pointed at the television and said, The male lead always cooks for the female lead. The television was showing the scene of the male lead cooking for the female lead. Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu looked at each other and read the same ridiculous emotion in each others eyes. The two of them sighed in unison when they entered the kitchen. Lin Shanchu said worriedly, If my uncle continues to be like this, Ill probably have to take him to the psychiatric department. You can let me know when youre going, Yun Wu said. Our family has a well-invested psychiatric hospital. ..Alright. At the dining table, both Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu stared at Lin Suguang. Lin Suguang, who previously said that he did not need to eat, was now eating more energetically than anyone else. As he ate, he muttered, Its delicious Yun Wu couldnt help but ask Lin Shanchu softly, Why does your uncle eat more than me? He wasnt like this in the past Lin Shanchu was tired of saying this. Lin Suguang started to praise Lin Shanchu after eating and drinking his fill. Shanshan, your cooking is so delicious! Youre really amazing! Did someone ever tell you that I cook well? Im going to watch TV. Lin Suguang got up and went to the living room. Did your uncle avoid your question just now? Yun Wu asked while biting the chopsticks. Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and said, Obviously. After dinner, Yun Wu rushed to wash the dishes. Lin Shanchu was chatting with her. Why dont we take him to see a psychiatrist today? Yun Wu hesitated for a long time before deciding to speak. Shanshan. Before Lin Shanchu could say anything, she heard Lin Suguangs voice from outside. He sounded a little anxious, so Lin Shanchu quickly walked out. Whats wrong, Uncle? Go out on a date. Huh? You should go on a date with Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu began to seriously consider Yun Wus suggestion just now. However, Lin Suguang seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said, Im not sick. Im not going to see a psychiatrist. Ill apany you on a date with Huo Xunzhou. Youre not going to watch TV anymore? Only two episodes have been updated. Ive watched them all. Lin Suguang looked disappointed. He really wanted to see the rest of the plot. Lin Suguang turned around and sat down on the sofa. Go get changed and put on your makeup. Ill wait for you here. I cant date Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu could not exin that the system was ying tricks on her and Huo Xunzhou could not date her due to the plot restrictions. Lin Suguang raised his chin slightly and said proudly, If I say its okay, then its okay. Lin Shanchu pursed his lips and did not say anything. Then, she turned around and went back to her room to get changed and put on makeup. If she had not stayed by Lin Suguangs side from the cold storage warehouse to the discharge from the hospital, she would have suspected that someone was impersonating him. Lin Suguangs series of abnormal behavior seemed ridiculous, but she felt that it did not happen for no reason. Since he said he could let her go on a date with Huo Xunzhou, she would give it a try. After Lin Shanchu changed her clothes and put on makeup, she went out with Lin Suguang and drove a car. Along the way, Lin Suguang kept praising her. Shanshan, you even got your own drivers license? Ill get you a good carter. You drive really well Lin Shanchuughed. Uncle, am I really that good in your eyes? Yeah Lin Suguang nodded seriously and said, Youre the best. He spoke sincerely. Lin Shanchu turned to look at him. He was sitting upright in the passenger seat with the seatbelt fastened neatly and looking straight ahead, appearing no different from a normal person. However, Lin Shanchu intuitively had a feeling that her uncle currently seemed differentpared to before he was injured. No, Im fine. Lin Shanchu could only give up. When they arrived at the entrance of Huo Corporation building, Lin Shanchu parked the car and Lin Suguang took the lead to get out. After Lin Shanchu locked the car, Lin Suguang walked into the building. Lets go up and find Huo Xunzhou. As soon as the two of them entered the building, they were stopped by the front desk receptionist. Hello, do you have an appointment? Lin Suguang just stood there without a word as if he was waiting for someone. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to ask who he was waiting for, she saw Li MO walking in. Sister-inw! Could it be that her uncle was waiting for Li MO? How did he know that Li MO woulde in from outside? Are you here to look for Big Brother? Li MO said excitedly, Lets go up then. Lin Shanchu came to look for Huo Xunzhou personally. The two of them must have reconciled and not broken up, right? Li MO felt that Lin Suguang was looking at him, so he turned to greet him. Mr. Lin. Lin Suguang suddenly reached out, pinched Li Mot s arm andmented, You are indeed muscr. Li MO was shocked. Mr. Lin, my sexual orientation is normal. Lin Suguang was speechless. Li MO took the two of them upstairs and led them to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou had just finished a meeting. When Lin Shanchu came out of the elevator, he happened to be on the way back to the office. He raised his head and saw Lin Shanchu. As a look of surprise shed across his eyes, he immediately strode towards Lin Shanchu. Shanshan! Li MO smiled quietly on the side. Huo Xunzhou called Lin Shanchu by her full namest time. It seemed that the two of them had really reconciled. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and tentatively reached out her hand to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou smiled and took her hand. Lin Shanchus eyes widened in surprise and she couldnt help but turn to look at Lin Suguang. Lin Suguangs previous words were still ringing in his ears. If I say its okay, then its okay. Who exactly was her uncle? Huo Xunzhou noticed Lin Shanchus gaze but did not say anything. Lets go to the office. When they reached the office, Lin Shanchu let go of Huo Xunzhous hand and walked up to Lin Suguang, staring at him with a serious expression. Uncle. Hmm. Lin Suguang was looking curiously at Huo Xunzhous office. He concluded with disdain. Old fashioned. Uncle, look at me. Hearing Lin Shanchus voice, Lin Suguang turned to look at her. Lin Shanchu stared right into his eyes and asked softly, Are you really my uncle? Chapter 409 - 409: I Don ‘t Remember Chapter 409 - 409: I Don t Remember Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Only the three of them were in the office, and Huo Xunzhou was standing silently at the side. When Lin Shanchu said those words, the office was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. However, this silence onlysted for two seconds. Shortly afterwards, Lin Suguang said calmly, Yes. His expression was unusually calm without any sign of lying. The more wless he was, the more Lin Shanchu found it strange.
She did not know that her uncle could control his emotions and expressions so easily, as precisely as a designed precision instrument. Huo Xunzhou did not interrupt their conversation and walked over with two sses of water. When he ced the ss of water in front of Lin Shanchu, he reached out and held her shoulder in aforting voice. Drink some water. Lin Shanchu still frowned as she nodded slightly. Huo Xunzhou reached out and stroked the creases between her eyebrows. Then, he turned around and ced another ss of water in front of Lin Suguang. Right after the ss was put down, Lin Suguang said unhappily, I want hot cocoa. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes. Lin Suguang had been acting strange after waking up from his injuries. Even Lin Shanchu did not drink something as sweet as hot cocoa, but Lin Suguang wanted to drink it? Alright. Huo Xunzhou responded in a low voice and went to call someone to bring in a cup of hot cocoa. Soon, the hot cocoa was served. Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu sat side by side, watching Lin Suguang drinking hot cocoa with relish. Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and asked him softly, Do you think theres something wrong with my uncle? Xunzhou replied, Yeah. Lin Shanchu continued, Hes been in this state after he returned home. His taste has changed drastically. Do you think he might have been possessed? I dont think a plot like soul possession would appear in an angst novel, Huo Xunzhou said after a moment of contemtion. Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds before she asked, So whats the problem? Huo Xunzhous eyes were fixed on Lin Suguang. You have to ask him. After finishing the hot cocoa, Lin Suguang looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu staring at him. He said seriously, You two cane closer. Huo Xunzhou asked in a deep voice, Why should we get closer? Lin Suguang raised his eyebrows and looked like he did not want to talk to Huo Xunzhou. Juste closer already. Lin Shanchu looked at Lin Suguang in shock. Wasnt he a little too arrogant? Although her uncle was a little picky about Huo Xunzhou before, his attitude towards Huo Xunzhou improved a little after he found out that Huo Xunzhou had acquired Lu Corporation and given it to her. When both parties met with their guardiansst time, her uncle and Huo Xunzhou had a drink and the two of them got along well. Although some things had happened in the between, her uncles attitude towards Huo Xunzhou should not have changed so much all of a sudden. Huo Xunzhou gave her a look, trying to signal her to calm down. He asked Lin Suguang calmly, What happened on the day of the cocktail party? I dont remember. Lin Suguang yawned, looking sleepy. When Huo Xunzhou was about to ask another question, Lin Suguang closed his eyes and crossed his arms, as if he was ready to sleep. Huo Xunzhou stared at Lin Suguang for two seconds before pulling Lin Shanchu to the side. Is he like this at home? Yes. Lin Shanchu told Huo Xunzhou about his unusual behavior at home. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he said cautiously, I know a good psychiatrist. I can take your uncle there if necessary. Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu were indeed family. They gave her the same idea. Lin Shanchu shook her head lightly without a word. When she was at home, she had some doubts about Lin Suguang, but she was more inclined to believe that there might really be something wrong with his mind. However, Lin Suguang took her to see Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was not restricted by the plot despite the presence of a third person, so she thought that this matter was not that simple. Uncle asked me toe and find you. Lin Shanchu briefly exined how Lin Suguang had asked her to go on a date with Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou nced in Lin Suguangs direction. Lin Suguang leaned back on the sofa as if he had fallen asleep. Even though he was asleep, he did not rxed his crossed arms and sitting posture. If we can locate Lu Shiyuan, we may be able to find out what happened after the cocktail party on that day, but After a pause, Huo Xunzhou continued, I havent heard from Lu Shiyuan. After Lin Suguangs ident, Huo Xunzhou had been arranging for people to look for Lu Shiyuan. However, there was no news of Lu Shiyuan after several few days of searching. At night, the three of them went out for dinner. Lin Shanchu handed the menu to Lin Suguang, and he ordered several tes of desserts. A couple was dining at the table next to them. They kissed each other and were extremely intimate, whereas Lin Suguang watched them with relish. After he finished watching the couple, he turned to Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou and lectured them. Watch and learn. Lin Shanchu asked, Learn what? Lin Suguang replied, You guys should do what you should do in a rtionship. Stunned, Lin Shanchu asked, Here? Now? Lin Suguang hurriedly nodded. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Huo Xunzhou made a fist and ced it against his lips as he chuckled. Fortunately, a waiter came over with desserts. Lin Shanchu said hurriedly, Uncle, the desserts you ordered are here. Hurry up and eat. She did not mind kissing someone under the watch of the onlookers, but at least she wanted the atmosphere. After that, whenever Lin Suguang wanted to speak, Lin Shanchu would frantically put food on his te. Eat! Lin Suguang, who was arrogant when talking to Huo Xunzhou, was gentle and obedient in front of Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu told him to eat, so he obediently continued eating without saying anything. After dinner, Huo Xunzhou drove Lin Shanchu and Lin Suguang home. Call me if you need anything, Huo Xunzhou instructed Lin Shanchu when they arrived downstairs. Got it, Lin Shanchu responded and was about to turn around and leave, but Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand. What are you doing? Lin Shanchu looked at him in confusion and asked, Is there anything else? After ncing at Lin Suguang who was ying on his phone, Huo Xunzhou pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her. He let go of Lin Shanchu with a smile on his face. He inadvertently looked up and met Lin Suguangs gaze. Lin Suguang smiled as he looked at them with sparkling eyes. The smile on Huo Xunzhous face gradually faded and his expression darkened. Then, he looked down at Lin Shanchu and said, Shanshan. Hmm? Can you ask Yun Wu toe and stay with you for a while? Chapter 410 - 410: You ‘re the Best Sweet Novel Female Lead I’ve Ever Had Chapter 410 - 410: You re the Best Sweet Novel Female Lead Ive Ever Had Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion No need. Lin Shanchu shook her head. I know what youre worried about, but hes my uncle. No matter what he bes, he wont hurt me. Although Huo Xunzhou was still worried, he respected her opinion and stopped talking. Back at home, Lin Suguang held the remote control and started browsing romantic dramas.
After observing him from the side for a while, Lin Shanchu returned to her room to change her clothes and take a shower. Sister Lin! He Xiang shouted as she came over to look for her. Lin Shanchu was looking for clothes in the walk-in closet. He Xiang walked in and reminded her. Theres a brand event tomorrow afternoon. We have to leave in the morning. Alright. Lin Shanchu had been resting at home ever since the wrap party. After resting for so long, she finally had a new job. Lin Suguang was still watching TV in the living room when Lin Shanchu went out after she was done packing. He Xiang came over with a cup of hot cocoa and ced it in front of Lin Suguang. When she got up, she met Lin Shanchus eyes and whispered, Uncle said he wanted to drink hot cocoa. Lin Shanchu nodded understandingly. Oh. He Xiang said, Ill go back to my room. After He Xiang left, only Lin Suguang and Lin Shanchu were left in the living room. Lin Shanchu sat down beside Lin Suguang. Is the drama nice? Yeah. Lin Suguang told her the plot seriously, Actually, the plot isnt important. Whats important is that the male and female leads have been lovey-dovey He liked to watch sweet romantic dramas. Even when he saw couples interacting outside, he would enjoy it with relish. He also liked to eat sweets Lin Suguang now liked sweet things very much. Lin Shanchu felt a little frustrated as she did not know what was going on with Lin Suguang. She brought up the question that Huo Xunzhou had asked during the day. Have you really forgotten what happened at the cocktail party? No. Lin Suguang turned around and smiled at Lin Shanchu. This smile was filled with insight. It was definitely not an expression that her uncle would have. In the next moment, the smile on Lin Suguangs face faded a little, revealing an indescribable strangeness. Im going to help you kill Lu Shiyuan. Since you want him dead, Im willing to help you. As long as its something you want to do, Ill help you no matter what it is. But I know you certainly didnt want Huo Xunzhou to know about this, so I said I forgot. Lin Shanchu looked at him in disbelief and her eyes turned cold. Youre not my uncle! Lin Suguang was not angry and said calmly, If you think Im not your uncle, so be it. Was he finally going toy his cards on the table with her? Tell me, who are you? Number 1357? What? The system responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the sweet novel world. Lin Shanchu looked at him in shock. She had seen the system before. However, it was bound to her body and did not have any physical body. Hence, she could only hear its voices. On the other hand, this living person in front of her actually said that he was also a system? Moreover, this person who imed to be the sweet novel system was her uncle she had liked since she was young. She did not believe it! If you dont want to tell the truth, you dont have to do so, but you dont have to make up such a ridiculous lie. You know I wont believe you. I know you cant ept the fact that your uncle is a machine in such a short time, so I didnt tell you my true identity immediately. As Lin Suguang spoke, he changed the topic. Shanshan, youre really outstanding. Youre the best sweet novel female lead Ive ever had. Even if I wasnt around, you still managed to get the plot back on track. His eyes were filled with love as he looked at her, and his tone was filled with relief. It was that kind of fatherly gaze again. The more he spoke, the more ridiculous it became. This was clearly an angst novel world. What did the sweet novel female lead have to do with her? Ignoring him, Lin Shanchu got up and nned to go back to her room to rest. Lin Suguangs voice came from behind. Shanshan, I know you need time to digest this information. Have a good rest. Well talk tomorrow. Lin Shanchu did not even turn her head when she heard his words. Lin Shanchu thought that she would suffer from insomnia because of Lin Suguangs words. On the contrary, she fell asleep very quickly. As long as the story is rebooted, there will be a turning point! Do you think you guys can win in the new plot? Dream on! .How are you going to fight me when youve lost all your luck? Lin Shanchu suddenly woke up from her dream and opened her eyes in the pitch-ck room. After a while, she got used to the darkness and reached for her phone by the bed. Lin Shanchu was not used to the sudden brightness of the phone screen. She squinted her eyes and barely managed to see the time. It was 3:00 a.m. After leaving Xu City, she rarely had insomnia or woke up in the middle of the night. She rarely even dreamed. The dream just now was too chaotic. She did not even see who was talking, nor could she piece together anything from the fragmented words. She overthought it and had this dream probably because too many things had happened recently as well as the nonsense Lin Suguang had said to her before she went to bed. Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief and went back to sleep. However, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Hence, she simply got out of bed. When she sat up, she felt an abnormal pain in the head. It was so painful that it felt like it was about to split open. Lin Shanchu held her head and leaned against the headboard for a while before recovering. Then, she got up and opened the bedroom door, preparing to go to the living room. She pushed the door open and saw that the rooms opposite and next door were tightly shut. Lin Suguang and He Xiang were still sleeping. Lin Shanchu quietly walked to the empty living room. After sitting for a while, she still felt a little bored, so she got up and walked to the balcony. The winter nights in Capital City were unusually cold. However, the heater was turned on in the room, so it was as warm as spring. Lin Shanchu opened the balcony door and shivered from the cold air, but she quickly got used to it. She took two steps forward and leaned against the railing to look out. The lights were never dim in the winter nights in Capital City. Lin Shanchu was a little lost in thought as she looked at scenery. As she looked at it, a sense of deja vu arose in her heart. It was as if she had once stood alone on the balcony and watched the night in Capital City in the dead of winter. However, it was her first winter in Capital City. It was also the first time she stood on the balconyte at night to watch the night view of Capital City. Lin Shanchu felt even more frustrated. It was all Lin Suguangs fault. The things he said to her before she went to bed were really strange. Should she believe him? Or rather, should she ept that the uncle she had known since she was young was actually a machine? It was the system again. The systems were bad news. After the stupid system left, something that called itself the sweet novel system showed up. None of these systems were good. Why arent you sleeping in the middle of the night? Lin Suguangs voice suddenly sounded from behind.. Chapter 411 - 411: A Meaningless Death Won ‘t Make Me Disappear Chapter 411: A Meaningless Death Won t Make Me Disappear Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu was shocked and turned around with a wary expression. Lin Suguang stood silently at the balcony door, holding Lin Shanchus coat in his hand. He walked over to Lin Shanchu and reached out to put the coat on her. Lin Shanchu dodged him warily. Lin Suguang sighed helplessly and stuffed the coat into Lin Shanchus hands. Put it on yourself. The way he sighed was exactly the same as her uncle in the past. Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and put on her coat. She pulled her coat tightly around herself and looked up at him. Why are you awake in the middle of the night? Lin Suguang said expressionlessly, 1 heard you cursing me. Lin Shanchu could hear a hint of grievance in his emotionless tone. I didnt curse you, Lin Shanchu said as she pursed her lips. I heard you scolding me in your mind. Lin Suguang paused for a moment and said unhappily, You evenpared me to Number 2580. These words sounded a little ridiculous. However, Lin Shanchu did not deny that she had indeed cursed him in her mind. She was more curious about thetter half of his words. What Number 2580? Its that useless system that has been helping Lu Shiyuan. Lin Shanchu only told Huo Xunzhou that Lu Shiyuan had the help of the system. She never mentioned it to Lin Suguang. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Lin Suguang to know about it unless Huo Xunzhou told him. However, she knew Huo Xunzhous character very well. It was impossible for him to tell Lin Suguang about it. She could find a thousand or ten thousand reasons to refute Lin Suguangs so-called sweet novel system , but she could not avoid it when the truth was in front of her. Lin Shanchu bit her lips and then let go. In the end, she forced herself to ept this fact. Where did you take my uncle? Your uncle is me. Im your uncle. Impossible! Almost immediately, Lin Shanchu rejected his statement. I grew up with my uncle. When I was young, he always bought me delicious food and helped me teach those who bullied me a lesson. He is a living person and its impossible for him to be a cold, heartless system! After saying that, Lin Shanchu stepped forward and held his hand, sounding a little agitated. Your hands are warm and you have body temperature. This is a body of flesh and blood. This is my uncles body! Lin Suguang looked at her and his tone was undeniably calm. Thats right, this is a conscious body of flesh and blood. The consciousness in this body has always been me. The identity of Lin Suguang exists to protect you. A few years ago, part of my consciousness was sealed because of the strong maic field of Number 2580. Therefore, I only remembered that I was Lin Suguang and forgot that I am Number 1357. Shanshan, whether Im Number 1357 or your uncle Lin Suguang, our duty is to protect you. Lin Shanchu turned her head away in resistance. Who could ept that their most important family member was actually just a tool that had been arranged? Number 1357 was different from her uncle, Lin Suguang. There was a fundamental difference between them. Seeing her like this, Lin Suguang did not say anything to urge her. He just stood at the side and quietly apanied her. After a long time, Lin Shanchu finally found a point to refute Number 1357. Are you the uncle in the original book? Then why did you end up dead in the original book? Because the mission failed. The expression on Lin Suguangs face becamepassionate. What mission? The mission to protect you. After thinking for a moment, Lin Shanchu connected the dots between what Lin Suguang said earlier and what he was saying now. You said that you were in charge of managing the sweet novel and that I was the best sweet novel female lead you had ever taken care of. Im now in an angst novel world, and in order to protect me, you became a supporting role in this world Lin Shanchu looked up at Lin Suguang to confirm if her guess was correct. Seeing Lin Suguang nod at her, she took two steps forward and continued to speak. Then heres the question. Why would a sweet female lead like me be in an angst novel? Lin Shanchu stared straight into his eyes. However, Lin Suguang avoided her gaze. Lin Shanchuughed as she continued, The reason is simple. Its because of your dereliction of duty. Lin Suguangs expression stiffened. Lin Shanchu knew that her guess was correct. That damn system from before Lin Shanchu was afraid that he could not understand her, so she exined, Its the useless system with the Number 2580 that you mentioned. It said that itd be punished in the book if it could notplete the mission. So, you became Lin Suguang not only to protect me, but you are also being punished because you made a mistake, right? Lin Suguang lowered his head without a word. Tilting her head slightly, Lin Shanchu looked at him and asked, Am I right? Lin Suguang continued to nod silently. In other words, because of your dereliction of duty, I became the female lead in the so-called angst novel, lost my parents when I was young and had to live under the control of that scumbag Lu Shiyuan? Lin Suguang said in a low voice, Im sorry, Ill try my best to fix the plot and make it up to you. Lin Shanchu stared at him coldly, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists. If it was not for the fact that he had the face of her uncle, she really wanted to push him down from here. A meaningless death wont make me disappear. Lin Suguang said suddenly, Itll only make me continue to exist in another way. Lin Shanchu knew that he had seen through her thoughts again. How can you know what Im thinking? I can only sense your thoughts about me. I cant sense any other thoughts. Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his words. If Lin Suguang knew what she was thinking, she would really be unable to resist killing him even though he had the face of her uncle. It was because the feeling of living under the surveince of others at all times was too terrifying. What does a meaningless death mean? Lin Shanchu asked. I exist to make up for my mistakes and protect you, so I can only die to protect you. Any other death is meaningless to me. It turned out to be like this? Swoosh! The balcony door opened again. Sister Lin? Uncle? What are you two doing standing on the balcony so early in the morning? He Xiang looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. We couldnt sleep, so we were just chatting. Lin Shanchu lied without changing her expression. He Xiang touched her arm and said, But its so cold outside. Lets chat inside. Im going to make breakfast. She left after saying that. Lin Shanchu looked at the time and realized that it was almost 6:00 a.m.. Chapter 412 - 412: So What If I Kick You? So What If I Step On You? Chapter 412: So What If I Kick You? So What If I Step On You? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Unknowingly, Lin Shanchu and Lin Suguang had been chatting for more than two hours. No wonder He Xiang woke up to prepare breakfast. She had to attend an event this afternoon and had to leave the house early, so it was time for her to get ready. Before Lin Shanchu entered the room, she remembered that she had something to tell him and almost called him Uncle. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and stopped herself in time. Lin Suguang read Lin Shanchus thoughts. You can call me Number 1357. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and instructed him. Number 1357, you know the rules of humans. Watch your mouth. Dont talk nonsense and dont act recklessly. I wont do anything without your instructions. Lin Suguang stood up straight with his hands drooping by his side and his expressionless face looked serious yet obedient. Lin Shanchu still was not used to Number 1357s expression when he was wearing her uncles face. She felt like she was lecturing her uncle. It better be like this, Lin Shanchu replied with a frown. Then, she turned around and went into the room. While eating breakfast, He Xiang noticed that Lin Suguang kept looking at Lin Shanchu. In fact, when He Xiang went to the balcony earlier, she realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two of them when they were talking early in the morning. Not only was it not as harmonious as before, but it was also a little tense. In short, the atmosphere was tense and strange. He Xiang thought it was her imagination. However, looking at Lin Suguangs careful actions, she knew that this was not her imagination. She did not know what the two of them had talked about on the balcony. Lin Shanchu ignored Lin Suguangs gaze and went back to her room to get changed after breakfast. When Lin Shanchu came out of the room, she saw Lin Suguang eagerly waiting for her at the door. Where are you going? Ill go too, Lin Suguang said expressionlessly. Why are you following me? Lin Shanchu nced at him and walked towards the living room. To protect you, Lin Suguang replied as he followed behind her like a little tail. No need. Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. Lin Suguang fell silent for a moment before he continued, With me around, you can go on a date with Huo Xunzhou. Hearing him mention this, Lin Shanchu remembered that Lin Suguang had asked her to go on a date with Huo Xunzhou yesterday. When I met Huo Xunzhou yesterday, he wasnt controlled by the plot. Was it because of you? Yes! Lin Suguang nodded vigorously and replied, Because I can interfere with Number 2580s maic field. No wonder Yun Wu could not see her chat history with Huo Xunzhou back then, but Lin Suguang could see it. So, I need your presence whenever I go on a date with Huo Xunzhou in the future? Thats right! Meeting Lin Shanchus cold gaze, Lin Juguangs voice trailed off. It doesnt need to be like this all the time With a sh of inspiration, Lin Shanchu asked, You have a way to deal with Number 2580? Lin Suguangs face fell as he replied, Not for now Lin Shanchu red at him. Whats the difference between you and that useless system? She had thought that it had a way to deal with that stupid system. Number 1357 defended himself aggrievedly. We are fundamentally different. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. He only has Lu Shiyuan in his heart. I only have you in my heart. Number 1357s tone was so solemn that it sounded like he was swearing. These words sounded old -fashioned and funny, but they were full of sincerity. However, it did not affect Lin Shanchus decision. You should stay at home and watch TV. Lin Shanchu turned on the television for him and said, The Sweet Pet Theater section is full of your favorite sweet romantic dramas. When Lin Shanchu went out, Number 1357 was waiting at the entrance with an unwilling expression, hoping that she would be soft-hearted enough to take him out with her. In the end, Lin Shanchu entered the elevator without even turning her head. He Xiang, on the other hand, could not bear to see him like that. She turned around and waved at him. Uncle, you dont have to see us off. You can go back. Not only was Lin Shanchu the best female lead he had ever taken care of, but she was also the cruelest daughter he had ever had. However, his daughter was really outstanding and beautiful. She even looked cool and arrogant even when she was ruthless enough not to go out with him Many celebrities attended the brand event. The backstage was bustling and crowded. Lin Shanchu finally found a seat. After she sat down, she closed her eyes to get some rest. She woke up from a dream in the middle of the night and was a little sleepy now. He Xiang went out to buy her a cup of coffee. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to fall asleep, someone pushed her shoulder. Miss Lin, please give up your seat. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes. The woman in front of her was wearing a haute couture dress. Her face was somewhat familiar, but Lin Shanchu was certain that she was not from the entertainment industry. When the woman saw that Lin Shanchu did not stand up and give up her seat, she pushed her arrogantly again. Did you hear what I said? Lin Shanchus eyes darkened as she nced at Cheng Fanjing, who was standing nearby. Oh, she remembered where she had seen this woman before. She had seen this woman before at the socialite tea party. Lin Shanchu curled her lips and kicked the womans leg. In order to match the gown, she wore sparkling stiletto heels today because He Xiang said that she looked very imposing in them. She thought that with such imposing heels, it would probably hurt when she kicked someone. The woman screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Lin Shanchu! How dare you kick me?! The scene was crowded and noisy, so the womans voice was quickly drowned out by the cacophony of noise. Lin Shanchu nced at her and saw that she was about to stand up. Then, she stepped on her instep and gazed at her condescendingly. The smile on her face was so gentle that it was almost bizarre. So what if I kick you? So what if I step on you? Hurry up and get Cheng Fanjing toe and seek justice for you. She raised her voice slightly, carrying a hint of excitement. She was in a bad mood because she did not sleep well and her uncle was gone. Someone had taken the initiative to provoke her. This rare asion was good enough for her to vent her anger, so how could she not be happy? As Lin Shanchu spoke, she stomped the womans instep hard with the heel. The woman was in so much pain that she could not make a sound. Cheng Fanjing walked over in a panic only when the womans instep started bleeding. Lin Shanchu, what are you doing?! Lin Shanchu looked up at Cheng Fanjing and raised her foot. She covered her mouth and said in disbelief, Im sorry for stepping on you. When the people nearby saw Cheng Fanjing walking over, they all looked over as if they were watching the drama unfold. Lin Shanchu smiled and waved at the staff on the side. Do you have time? Can you please take thisdy and apply medicine on her wound? The staff member nced at the womans bleeding instep and quickly came over to help her away. Cheng Fanjing walked up to Lin Shanchu and said earnestly, Lin Shanchu, the Yun family has treated you well. You should learn to restrain yourself and not cause trouble for the Yun family.. Chapter 413 - 413: Whether It Is A Slander or Not, Let’s Check Out the Trending List Tomorrow Chapter 413: Whether It Is A nder or Not, Lets Check Out the Trending List Tomorrow Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Cheng Fanjing did not expose the fact that Lin Shanchu had deliberately stepped on that woman. Instead, she condescendingly advised her to be sensible and not cause trouble. In this way, Cheng Fanjing would look magnanimous and reasonable, but it would also show that Lin Shanchu was abusing her power to bully someone. Abusing her power to bully someone? Why not? Lin Shanchu slowly reached out to caress the waist of the gown and stood up slowly. Her cat-like eyes were filled with a smile. Since you know that the Yun family is backing me up, why did you still want to provoke me? She slowly moved her wrists as her gentle voice was full of distress. Cheng Fanjings heart skipped a beat. She did not think of causing trouble for Lin Shanchu today, but when she saw Lin Shanchu sitting there calmly, she felt that she was an eyesore. Therefore, Cheng Fanjing acquiesced when the woman who tried to suck up to her said that she would teach Lin Shanchu a lesson on her behalf. At this moment, she suddenly realized that this was an unwise decision. It was wise that she tacitly allowed the woman to teach Lin Shanchu a lesson, but that it was unwise for her to take the initiative to deal with Lin Shanchu. Cheng Fanjing forced a fake smile. I still have something to do, so Smack! The sound of a p and Cheng Fanjings voice rang out at the same time. Half of Cheng Fanjings face immediately turned red. She was stunned by Lin Shanchus p. She stood there with her head tilted, unable toe to her senses for a long time. Lin Shanchu slowly retracted her hand and blew on it gently. Even though she had moved her wrist, the strength she exerted was so great that her palm still hurt a little. The surrounding people were shocked by this p. No one dared to make a sound. That person was Cheng Fanjing. She was Cheng Fanjing, the most favored granddaughter among the Cheng familys grandchildren and the one who was ttered wherever she went. Lin Shanchu actually dared to hit her. Moreover, she hit her too hard. You can go to the Yun family to seek justice for you, Lin Shanchu said to Cheng Fanjing as she retracted her hand. Cheng Fanjing slowly turned around and her face was full of hatred. Lin Shanchuughed. Her eyes smiled radiantly. Of course, you can also go to Huo Xunzhou to seek justice for you. Although hes my boyfriend who took me to meet his parent, didnt he also dine and attend the cocktail party with you? You two have such a close rtionship. He will help you for sure. What do you think? Cheng Fanjing used to despise Huo Xunzhou. After Huo Xunzhous leg recovered, she started to have designs on Huo Xunzhou openly and secretly. It was normal for Cheng Fanjing to have designs on Huo Xunzhou. After all, Huo Xunzhou was handsome and considerate. Moreover, he was generous enough to give her shares and a roomful of diamond jewelry. However, if Cheng Fanjing wanted to have designs on Huo Xunzhou, she could just snatch him away. As long as Cheng Fanjing had the ability, she could even kidnap or rape him. If Cheng Fanjing really got her hands on him, Lin Shanchu would have to look at her in a new light. Cheng Fanjing should never have provoked her while having designs on Huo Xunzhou. It was fine if Cheng Fanjing wanted to snatch her man. However, she could not bear the grievance if Cheng Fanjing wanted to suppress her. Huo Xunzhou and Cheng Fanjings dinner date was not a secret. It had long been spread in the circle. Initially, everyone was just here to watch the drama unfold. They all wanted to know if Huo Xunzhou, who had once confessed his love to Lin Shanchu in a high-profile manner, would dump her and choose Cheng Fanjing, who had a better family background, after his legs recovered. Even though the two of them had gone on a dinner date, they never publicly announced that they were in an intimate rtionship. As for Lin Shanchu, Huo Xunzhou never said that he wanted to break up with her. Cheng Fanjing also became embarrassed because of this. As long as Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu had not announced their breakup, they were still officially a couple. What was the point of her bing a third wheel? It was morally unjustifiable. From any angle, Cheng Fanjing was at a disadvantage. At first, everyone thought that Lin Shanchu was bossy, but when she mentioned Huo Xunzhou, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with her pping Cheng Fanjing. However, no one dared tough at Cheng Fanjing because of her family background. They all turned around and pretended to do their own things. It was natural that Cheng Fanjing could think of this. On such an asion, she could not just retaliate and fight with Lin Shanchu. It would be too unsightly to fight in public and embarrass the Cheng family. However, she would be aggrieved if she let Lin Shanchu off the hook. No matter what, she had to think of a way to get back at Lin Shanchu. What do you mean? Cheng Fanjing looked up at Lin Shanchu and her low voice was unusually clear in the quiet lounge. Lin Shanchu, let me tell you. Theres nothing going on between Huo Xunzhou and me. If you dont believe me, Ill swear to God! Cheng Fanjings expression was firm and serious when she spoke, but there was a trace of grievance in her eyes. She felt wronged by Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu Imew exactly what she was thinking. Cheng Fanjing was wary of her identity as the daughter of the Cheng family and would not fight with her on such an asion. Therefore, she could only find a breakthrough in the affair between her and Huo Xunzhou. Although she did try to be a homewrecker, she wanted to pull herself out of this matter without admitting it. Her idea was right, but Lin Shanchu would never let her have her way. This is between us. Why are you dragging Huo Xunzhou into this? Before I arrived in Capital City, you already started hiring Inte trolls to nder that I wasnt worthy of Huo Chaosheng, didnt you? Lin Shanchu was pleased to see Cheng Fanjings sudden change of expression. Then, she continued, Go court whomever you like. Why did you have to resort to such petty tricks? Whats the point of a woman making things difficult for another woman? Am I right? There were quiet discussions around them. Cheng Fanjing did such a thing? Does she like Huo Chaosheng or Huo Xunzhou? She usually looks noble and magnanimous, but I really cant tell that shes a two-timer She really deserve this p. Lin Shanchu was a lunatic! She had the audacity to talk about this in public! Cheng Fanjing clenched her fists and shouted, Lin Shanchu, stop ndering me! Lin Shanchu did not retort her. Instead, she said calmly, Whether it is a nder or not, lets check out the trending list tomorrow. Cheng Fanjings face turned pale in an instant. This crazy woman, Lin Shanchu, dared to say such things in public. She must have had a hold over her. However, that should not be the case. She had taken care of it. Cheng Fanjings guilty expression was too obvious. Everyone looked at each other without saying anything, but they were all convinced that Lin Shanchu was telling the truth. Abusing ones power to bully someone was not something new in this circle. It was even verymon. However, it was not a dignified deed. If it was brought to the table, Cheng Fanjing would be the one to lose her face. Cheng Fanjing was so flustered that she became tongue-tied. Then, she quickly thought of a countermeasure in her mind.. Chapter 414 - 414: Forget About Escaping Chapter 414: Forget About Escaping Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion At this point, Cheng Fanjingpletely believed that this crazy woman, Lin Shanchu, was capable of anything. Lin Shanchu told her to check out the trending list tomorrow. It was certain that she would publish something in her hands and make it trending. Furthermore, with Lin Shanchus poprity and topicality, she did not even need to make it trending because theizens would do it on her behalf. She certainly could not allow Lin Shanchu to expose her secret on the trending list. Absolutely not! That was right. Wouldnt it be fine if she did not end up on the trending list? She would do anything, including pulling a few strings and spending money, as long as Lin Shanchus post did not get on the trending list! Thinking of this, Cheng Fanjing suddenly rxed. With the Cheng familys ability, it was easy for them to suppress Lin Shanchus trending topic. Cheng Fanjing raised her chin and smiled confidently. Lets check out the trending list then! Lin Shanchu curled her lips into a smile without any extra movements, but the others could feel her disdain. Authority was a good thing. If Cheng Fanjing could use her authority, she could use it too. Cheng Fanjing could forget about escaping if Lin Shanchu wanted to mess with her. Is everyone ready? Its going to start soon! Please get ready to go in now! As the frontstage staff ran over to inform everyone to enter the stage, the onlookers earlier got busy. He Xiang came back after going out to buy a cup of coffee. Sister Lin, there arent any cafes around here. I drove a long way to get it. She ran all the way back, panting heavily. After taking the cup of coffee from He Xiangs hand, Lin Shanchu let her sit on the chair behind her and said, Rest for a while. He Xiang sat down on the chair and asked, Is it about to start? Were going in soon. Lin Shanchu sipped her coffee slowly. She had to finish it before she entered the stage. He Xiang replied, Oh. Everyone witnessed this scene. They could not quite rte the gentle Lin Shanchu who gave up her chair to her assistant to the one who pped Cheng Fanjing just now. One could say that Lin Shanchu was gentle, but she was as ruthless as she could be when she pped Cheng Fanjing. One could say that she was cruel, but she had a gentle expression when she gave up her seat to her assistant. The assistant sat down naturally. It was obvious that the two of them usually interacted like this. He Xiang could vaguely sense that many people were looking over and that the atmosphere was a little off. She asked Lin Shanchu softly, Sister Lin, did something happen? Cheng Fanjing took advantage of the chaos and left when everyone was busy just now. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would really be unable to resist fighting with Lin Shanchu on the spot. Its nothing. Lin Shanchu had one hand in front of her and the other holding a cup of coffee, looking rxed. He Xiangxin heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she heard Lin Shanchu add, I just pped Cheng Fanjing. Shocked, He Xiang had a lump in her throat right after heaving a sigh of relief. You you pped Cheng Fanjing? Yes. Lin Shanchu pursed his lips and said, I was already sleepy, and I was in a bad mood when I was sleepy. Yet, she insisted on provoking me Her tone sounded like she was still unconvinced, didnt it? He Xiang pursed her lips and asked cautiously, Did everyone see that? Lin Shanchu grunted and admitted it openly. Everyone probably thought that she deserved a beating. He Xiang was speechless and thought that no one in this world could control Lin Shanchu anymore. Tongue-tied, He Xiang took out her phone and frantically sent WeChat messages to Qi Cheng. He Xiang: [Sister Lin hit someone backstage.] Qi Cheng: [Why did she hit that person? Whom did she hit?] He Xiang: [Cheng Fanjing.] Qi Cheng: He Xiang quickly defended Lin Shanchu: [Cheng Fanjing provoked Sister Lin in the first ce.] Qi Cheng: [Isnt it obvious? I know Shanshan isnt a troublemaker!] Im going in. Lin Shanchus voice came from above. He Xiang raised her head and realized that Lin Shanchus gaze was fixed on her phone screen. Was it okay to snitch on the person involved and be discovered? He Xiang simply showed Lin Shanchu her phone. Lin Shanchu stuffed the empty coffee cup into He Xiangs hands and said, Oh right. I also exposed Cheng Fanjings scheme of hiring Inte trolls to nder me back then. I also told her to check out the trending list tomorrow. Boom! To He Xiang, the news was a bolt from the blue. Before Lin Shanchu left, she pointed at thest message from Qi Cheng on the screen. Brother Qi knows me quite well. After saying that, she walked down the red carpet frontstage in high heels. He Xiang watched Lin Shanchu walking up to the frontstage. Then, she lowered her head and typed continuously to inform Qi Cheng what Lin Shanchu had said. Qi Cheng replied quickly. Qi Cheng: [!!!!] Qi Cheng: [[Spitting blood.jpg]] He could only feel his temples throbbing with a pounding headache. On second thought, he felt that this was normal. If Lin Shanchu did not do something, he would not be used to it. Qi Cheng: [Dont worry. Shanshan has always had her own ns. If she dares to say those words, she must be very confident.] He Xiang wasforted by Qi Chengs words. Qi Cheng was right. Lin Shanchu must have her own n. After the brand event ended, Lin Shanchus red carpet photo was trending. When Lin Suguang saw the news of the event ending online, he called Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, when are youing back? Have you finished watching the dramas in the Sweet Pet Theater section? Lin Shanchu could not figure out why Lin Suguang would suddenly call to ask about her schedule unless he had nothing to do after finished watching the dramas. Even her former uncle would not pay attention to her movements at all times. Lin Suguang fell silent for two seconds before he replied, No, Im just worried about your safety. I hope you cane home soon. Lin Shanchu just returned to the backstage. After sitting down, she asked slowly, What if I cant go home earlier? I have toe to you then. Lin Suguangs tone sounded reluctant at first, but it was more of a happy one. Number 1357 was fundamentally different from Lin Suguang. Lin Suguangs human emotions and expressions were richer. Number 1357s facial expression, tone of speech and body movements were all stiff to varying degrees. Even if it had a human body, it would return to its original nature when it knew that it was a machine system with a mission. She even epted the bizarre fact that she was the female lead of the angst novel, so it did not seem hard to ept that her blood-rted uncle was actually a machine system. Since Number 1357 said that he existed to protect her, then she wanted to find out how he would protect her. Come over then. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone after saying those words. After packing up their things, He Xiang walked over and said, Sister Lin, we can go now. Lin Shanchu got up and followed He Xiang out while sending her location to Number 1357. She was going to look for Yun Jinter, so she sent him the location of the Yun family mansion. He Xiang suddenly called out, Uncle? What? Lin Shanchu looked up nkly and saw Number 1357 standing at the door.. Chapter 415 - 415: Your Wife Is In My Hands Chapter 415 - 415: Your Wife Is In My Hands Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Shanshan! When Number 1357 saw Lin Shanchu, he happily strode towards her. Lin Shanchus finger was still on the screen. The screen showed the address that she had entered halfway. Why was Number 1357 here before she sent the message?
He Xiang greeted Number 1357 with a smile. Uncle, what brings you here? Shanshan asked me toe. When Number 1357 saw Lin Shanchus cold eyes, his expressionless face looked a little disappointed. Lin Shanchu instructed, He Xiang, go get the car. Alright. He Xiang jogged to the parking lot to drive the car over. As soon as He Xiang left, Lin Shanchu pulled Number 1357 to a corner. When did you arrive? I just arrived. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and said, Number 1357, I was going to give you a chance to show off. How dare you treat me like a fool? Number 1357 scanned Lin Shanchus facial expression and read its meaning he was lying to her. You told me toe here, so I came here automatically. He exined hurriedly, I acted ording to your instructions. Lin Shanchu did not think he was lying when he spoke. Teleportation Number 1357 searched for the meaning of the teleportation in his mind and nodded. Yes. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Was teleportation something that could appear in an angst novel? Number 1357 corrected her, Its not an angst novel, but a sweet novel. Youre eavesdropping on my thoughts again! Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and snapped. Thats because its something rted to me Noticing the change in her expression, Number 1357 changed his tune. You can block this function of mine. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. You just need to give the order. Lin Shanchu said tentatively, From now on, youre forbidden from reading my thoughts. Roger! Speechless, Lin Shanchu felt that it was a little edgy. After ncing at him, she said, Lets go. It was dinner time when Lin Shanchu and the others arrived at the Yun familys mansion. The old couple of the Yun family had gone on vacation. Yun Wu had ast-minute endorsement, whereas Yun Yi had to attend a dinner party. Hence, Yun Jin was the only one at home. He knew that Lin Shanchu wasing over, so he had instructed the kitchen maids to prepare dinner. When Lin Shanchu got out of the car, she saw Yun Jin guarding the door. He was looking up from time to time while ying on his phone. When he saw Lin Shanchu, he put away his phone and strode over. Sister-inw, you are here! Lin Shanchu smiled at him and called out, Second Brother. Attagirl! Yun Jin replied loudly just likest time. Then, he smiled at Lin Shanchu and said, Hurry up and go in. Ive asked the kitchen maids to make some dishes. Lets have a simple meal. Thank you, Second Brother. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Number 1357 and said, This is my uncle. Yun Jin sized up Number 1357 for a moment. He thought to himself that her uncle had high seniority and was more or less taking advantage of others despite his young age. However, this was his sister-inws uncle. Yun Jin made an inviting gesture and said, Uncle, pleasee in. Thank you, Mr. Yun. Number 1357 nodded slightly at him before walking into the mansion. Lin Shanchu was very satisfied with Number 1357s performance. On the way here, she already instructed Number 1357 not to show any abnormality when he saw Yun Jin. Moreover, his words and actions had to be in line with his identity as her uncle. When the group entered the mansion, Lin Shanchu saw a table of sumptuous dishes, as if it was for New Year celebration. Was this what Yun Jin meant by make some dishes and have a simple meal? All kind of dishes were served on therge table. Yun Jin had a cheerful personality. When he was done eating, he even pulled everyone along to take photos. After taking the photo, he posted it on his WeChat Moments and urged Lin Shanchu to like it. After Lin Shanchu liked his post, he sent Huo Xunzhou a message. Yun Jin: [Your wife is in my hands. [Photo.jpg]] He sent the photo he took with Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou replied instantly: [What is she doing at our house?] Yun Jin replied cheekily: [Shes here to hang out with her Second Brother of course.] Actually, he did not know why Lin Shanchu was looking for him. Based on his observation of Lin Shanchu, she must have something important to discuss with him. Huo Xunzhou stopped replying to the message. After dinner, Yun Jin asked Lin Shanchu, Do you want to have some old peoples program at home or go out with Second Brother for some young peoples program? Lin Shanchu looked at him in confusion. Yun Jin exined, The old peoples program is all about drinking tea and chatting, whereas the young peoples program is all about drinking, dancing, racing and going whoring! Bewildered, Lin Shanchu blinked and confirmed with him seriously, Going whoring? Yun Jin facepalmed. He just blurted out in a moment of haste. He immediately put on a stern face and assumed the posture of an older brother. Then, he said to Lin Shanchu earnestly, Sister, this is just a proposed program for reference. Im not interested in ying this. Oh Lin Shanchus dragged her tone and then changed the topic. I brought a gift for you, Second Brother. As Lin Shanchu spoke, she took out an exquisite box from her bag and handed it to Yun Jin. Yun Jin looked over curiously and said, I cannot ept this. He said that he could not ept the gift, but he already honestly stretched out his hands with smiling eyes. Can I open it? Lin Shanchu nodded at him. Yun Jin took out the wristwatch and looked at Lin Shanchu in surprise. Sister, you understand me. I was just worried that I wouldnt have a wristwatch to match my new outfit! The bright green dial was iid with a circle of fine diamonds. The gold strap was beautiful and high-quality. Yun Jin put on the wristwatch happily. He raised his hand and turned it over and over. It seemed that he liked it very much. You dont have to be so courteous. Please dont bring any gifts when youe next time. In my heart, youre my biological sister just like Yun Wu. If theres anything you need from me in the future, just let me know Lin Shanchu was waiting for this reply of his. She was wide-eyed as she asked seriously, Really? Yun Jin was particrly fond of Lin Shanchu at this moment. He even thought that Huo Xunzhou was good at finding a wife and Yun Wu was good at making friends. Of course! He said without hesitation. Lin Shanchu said, Second Brother, I have a small matter that I would like to trouble you with. Yun Jin stared at the smile on her face for two seconds and finally understood something. He felt that Lin Shanchus actions were extremely familiar. She first gave him some benefits and made him fall for it before telling him her purpose. Oh, he remembered it. Huo Xunzhou was like this every time he asked him for a favor. This young couple really had a hold over him. Whats the matter? Speak! Yun Jin shouted with aplicated expression. Lin Shanchu chuckled. I want something that can prove that Cheng Fanjing hired Inte trolls to nder me. Yun Jin was able to hack into Lu Corporations power supply system back then, so it was natural that this small matter was a walk in the park to him. Yun Jin could not help butugh. Thats all you ask for after you gave me such a nice wristwatch? Youve suffered a huge loss, Sister.. Chapter 416 - 416: She Was Willing to Spend As Much As She Chapter 416 - 416: She Was Willing to Spend As Much As She Could Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchus smile deepened. Were a family. Whats there to lose? Yun Jin was very touched as he said, Youre really my biological sister. Zhouzhou should learn how to be a younger brother. Learn to be a younger brother?
A low and maic male voice suddenly came from the door. Everyone turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou walking in through the door. Huo Xunzhou was wearing a ck woolen coat with a neat suit underneath while walking in the night wind, looking even colder. Yun Jin swallowed and forced himself to maintain hisposure. Zhouzhou, what brings you here? However, he was already honestly hiding behind Lin Shanchu. While hiding, he whispered to Lin Shanchu for help, Sister, help me. Holding back herughter, Lin Shanchu met Huo Xunzhous cold gaze and asked, What brings you here? Huo Xunzhous gaze softened almost immediately. The considerate assistant, He Xiang, had the habit of preparing a set of clothes and ts for Lin Shanchu in the car. Lin Shanchu had just attended the brand event and put on the ts that He Xiang had prepared after getting into the car. Standing in front of Huo Xunzhou, the height difference between the two of them became obvious. She had to look up to see Huo Xunzhous face. Huo Xunzhou bent down slightly to match her height, not letting her look up at him so strenuously. Why didnt you tell me you wereing to our house for dinner? There was a subtle hint ofint in his tone. Youre busy with work. Lin Shanchu chose to conceal the fact that she had sought Yun Jins help. Huo Xunzhou raise his eyebrows as he replied, No matter how busy I am, I still have time for a meal. Ill definitely call you next time, Lin Shanchu said coquettishly as she pulled his hand. Huo Xunzhous gaze softened instantly. Yun Jin suddenly leaned over and raised his wrist to show off his wristwatch to Huo Xunzhou. Zhouzhou, do you think my new wristwatch looks good? Lin Shanchu felt her blood run cold when she heard Yun Jins words. Huo Xunzhou was such a petty person. If he knew that she was the one who gave him the wristwatch, he might get angry at her. Huo Xunzhou replied, Ugly. Yun Jin knew that Huo Xunzhou would say that. Tch. He clicked his tongue and pretended to be puzzled. Its ugly? I think it looks good! You dont agree with your wifes aesthetic standards that much? Lin Shanchu was speechless. She only asked a small favor from Yun Jin, but Yun Jin wanted her dead. Huo Xunzhou immediately grasped the key information in Yun Jins words. Wife? He turned to look at Lin Shanchu. His voice was the same as usual, but his tone was a little cold. Did you give him the wristwatch? I was negotiating a new endorsement for the past two days. The brand owner asked me to pick a wristwatch and send it to me Lin Shanchu tried to exin herself, but under Huo Xunzhous increasingly cold gaze, her voice became softer and softer until she finally stopped talking. Huo Xunzhou said unhappily, So, you gifted Yun Jin the only wristwatch that the brand owner gave you. The brands series isnt suitable for you, so I gave it to Second Yun Jin. Under Huo Xunzhous watchful gaze, Lin Shanchu forcefully rephrased the word Second Brother to Yun Jin. Yun Jin was confused. She kept calling him Second Brother earlier, but why did she wimped out when Huo Xunzhou was here now? Pretending not to see Yun Jins gaze, Lin Shanchu held Huo Xunzhous hand and whispered to him, Actually, I bought you the most expensive wristwatch of this brand. Huo Xunzhou looked down at her and his expression softened slightly. Noticing his expression, Lin Shanchu thought that he was about to be pacified. Hence, she continued to coax him. I think that wristwatch is very suitable for you. Yun Jins watch is a free gift, whereas I spent a lot of money to buy yours. Im only willing to spend so much money on you Although these words sounded suspicious, Lin Shanchu was speaking the truth. Huo Xunzhou was different from the others. She was willing to spend money for him. She had her eyes on that wristwatch before. She thought of going to the offline store in a few days to take a look at the actual item before deciding whether to buy it or not. Huo Xunzhous gaze softened, but his smile did not reach his eyes, making him look very rxed. Wheres the wristwatch? Lin Shanchu was stumped by the question. However, she quickly came up with an idea. I had to pre-order it. Its out of stock recently. Ill receive it in two days. Huo Xunzhou asked, Two days? Im not too sure Lin Shanchu blinked as she said, Maybe two days at most. Huo Xunzhou patted her head and replied, Ill wait for the gift in two days then. Lin Shanchu nodded. Alright. Its gettingte. Ill take you home, Huo Xunzhou said as he looked at the time. When Yun Jin heard that they were going home, he leaned over and said, Its not even 9:00 p.m. yet. Why are you going home? Sister,e with me. Ill take you out to have fun! Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes at Yun Jin as he asked, Whom are you calling Sister? Your wife, Yun Jin replied as his heart skipped a beat under his gaze. The words your wife were too pleasant to the ear, so Huo Xunzhou treated him slightly better. Call her Shanshan. Yun Jin called out obediently, Shanshan. Lin Shanchu took Huo Xunzhous hand and blinked innocently. Then, Huo Xunzhou led Lin Shanchu out. Lin Shanchu turned around and waved ers phone at Yun Jin, indicating for him to contact her. Yun Jin made an OK gesture. Huo Xunzhou drove Lin Shanchu to her apartment and leaned over to help her unbuckle the seatbelt. Lin Shanchu was already used to Huo Xunzhous thoughtfulness. She obediently raised her hand so that he could unbuckle the seatbelt. Number 1357, who was sitting in the rear seat, smiled like an old father when he saw this scene. Huo Xunzhou, do you want toe up for a bit before leaving? Upon hearing Number 1357s voice, both Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu turned to look at him. A hint of doubt shed across Huo Xunzhous expression. Lin Shanchus face was sullen and helpless. As expected of the sweet novel system. It loved sweet things and sweet dramas. It even wanted to create opportunities for her and Huo Xunzhou. If it had done its job well, perhaps the sweet novel would not have turned into an angst novel. Lin Shanchu looked away and turned to Huo Xunzhou. Come up for a bit. Huo Xunzhou pondered for a moment and nodded. After going upstairs, Number 1357 went back to his room. He even called He Xiang away, leaving the room for Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu. Hows your uncle? Huo Xunzhou asked Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu thought about it and said, Hes fine. She looked calm on the surface, but she was conflicted on whether she should tell Huo Xunzhou about Number 1357. If she told Huo Xunzhou, what should she say to make it easier for him to ept this fact? Huo Xunzhou seemed to have read her mind.. Then, he leaned forward slightly and looked into her eyes before he asked, Is there anything else you want to tell me? Chapter 417 - 417: Society Butterfly Chapter 417 - 417: Society Butterfly Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion His tone was gentle with a hint of guidance. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips, thinking about where to start. For example, why am I not restricted by the plot when Im with you now? Huo Xunzhou said softly. I want to know the reason behind this. He took the initiative to mention this matter, giving Lin Shanchu, who who did not Imow where to start, the opportunity to speak.
Its because of my uncle. After saying those words, it became easier for her to continue. To be precise, its Number 1357 from the sweet novel system. A look of shed across Huo Xunzhous face before it disappeared without a trace. Isnt he your uncle? Lin Shanchu smiled, but the smile on her face quickly faded. When I found out about it, I had the same thoughts as you. If hes Number 1357, then wheres my uncle? Lin Shanchu looked up at him and asked, Do you still remember I told you about my uncles ending in the original book? Huo Xunzhou said softly, I remember it. Number 1357 said that it died in the original book because it failed its mission, so it became a character in the book, receiving punishment whilepleting its mission. After finished speaking, stared at Huo Xunzhou for a moment and asked, Do you understand what Im saying? Huo Xunzhou asked thoughtfully, Why is it under punishment? ording to it, it was in charge of the operations of sweet novels, but I dont Imow what kind of dereliction of duty caused this novel world to be an angst novel. Dereliction of duty? Huo Xunzhou sneered. In that case, everything that happened to you in the past was because of it? Lin Shanchu replied, Hmm, you can say so. Huo Xunzhou stopped talking. Instead, he raised his hand and slowly loosened his tie as his expression turned cold. Lin Shanchu felt that he looked like he was about to fight someone. He was not going to start a fight with Number 1357, was he? However, Number 1357 was wearing her uncles face Lin Shanchu quickly tried to persuade him. But its still useful. When were together, you wont be controlled by the plot as long as its present. Huo Xunzhou said coldly, Even if its not present, I can still control myself. He just needed to endure the pain caused by the plot. This was nothing. Didnt Lin Shanchu go through the same thing before? If she could endure it, what could he not? Lin Shanchu smiled at him and said, I know, but we cant let it off easy, right? It owes me everything! Huo Xunzhou kept quiet with a slightly softened expression. Number 1357, who was hiding in the room, leaned against the door from time to time to listen for any movements. Unfortunately, the soundproofing of the room was so good that he could not hear the content of their conversation at all. After a long time, he heard movement outside and opened the door. Huo Xunzhou was about to go back, so Lin Shanchu stood up to see him off. Right after the two of them stood up from the sofa, they heard themotion and looked at Number 1357 in unison. He only had eyes for Lin Shanchu, so he seriously looked at her and asked, Arent you going to ask Huo Xunzhou to stay the night? Shanchu speechlessly red at Number 1357 and then turned around, only to find Huo Xunzhou looking expectantly at her with a puzzled look. Lin Shanchu remembered thest time she went to find Huo Xunzhou at his house, he restrained himself all night. Hmph. Lin Shanchu sneered and red at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was a little confused. Werent the two of them having a good chat just now? Why did she suddenly fall out with him? You should go home. Lin Shanchu sat on the sofa and did not even want to see Huo Xunzhou off after saying those words. Huo Xunzhou stood there silently and thought for a moment. He still could not figure out why she was suddenly angry. Ill be leaving then? His feet showed no signs of moving and his tone was filled with anticipation. Lin Shanchu leaned against the back of the sofa and looked at himzily. Goodbye. Judging from her attitude, Huo Xunzhou confirmed that she really did not want to see him off. He pursed his lips, turned around and gave Number 1357 a cold nce before leaving. Huo Xunzhous sharp gaze made Number 1357s heart skip a beat. He carefully leaned against the corner and dared not move an inch. After Huo Xunzhou left, Number 1357 walked over to Lin Shanchu. Your rtionship with Huo Xunzhou seems to be very stable. Why didnt you have any more in-depthmunication? Lin Shanchu frowned as he looked at Number 1357. What kind of in-depthmunication? Its the kind of in-depthmunication that youre thinking about right now. Did you read my thoughts again? I didnt. I saw it. Your thoughts are written on your face. Lin Shanchu blushed and touched her face. Is it that obvious? Does he have an invisible illness? Number 1357 asked worriedly as he sat down beside her. Lin Shanchu looked at him angrily and shouted, Youre the one with the invisible illness! Number 1357 heaved a sigh of relief and said, Its good that he doesnt have any invisible illness. Lin Shanchu looked at him suspiciously. What if Huo Xunzhou has an invisible illness? The male lead will be changed. Lin Shanchu suddenly remembered the issue of the official partner that Huo Xunzhou had been concerned about. You said that Im the female lead of the sweet novel. Then whos my official partner? Number 1357 thought for a long time and shook his head. I dont remember. Helpless, Lin Shanchu poked his chest and asked, Whats the difference between you and Number 2580? Number 1357 felt wronged. Im still somewhat affected by Number 2580. My reading of the initial plot is limited, so I can only remember the most important parts. Lin Shanchu did not quite understand him. Isnt the male lead the most important part? No. Number 1357 shook his head and said, To me, the safety of the female lead is the most important thing. His words touched Lin Shanchu. She was a little touched. Although Number 1357 looked like a useless piece of trash now, he really bent on looking out for her. It was as if his existence was for her sake. Lin Shanchu now found him more pleasing to the eye. Based on your experience, is Huo Xunzhou my official partner? Probably. There was no difference between saying it and not saying it. Lin Shanchus phone on the coffee table vibrated. Yun Jin sent her a message. Yun Jin: [Shanshan, quickly go and like my Moments post!] He either called her Sister-inw or Sister previously, but now he called her Shanshan so smoothly. Thinking about it, she had only met Yun Jin a few times and did not spend much time with him, but he naturally asked her to like his Moments post. Was this the legendary social butterfly? Lin Shanchu did not reply to him immediately. Instead, she turned on the Moments. She did not have many friends on WeChat. Basically, as long as someone posted something on their Moments, she would be able to see it with just one swipe. She immediately saw the Yun Jins new post on his Moments, which was posted two minutes ago. Yun Jin was wearing a green coat and the wristwatch she had given him while taking a selfie in front of the mirror. He even deliberately raised his wrist to show it in a conspicuous position.. Chapter 418 - 418: What Benefits Did Huo Xunzhou Offer You? Chapter 418 - 418: What Benefits Did Huo Xunzhou Offer You? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Jins narcissism made Lin Shanchu doubt if he and Yun Yi were blood brothers. Yun Wu was rtively low-key and had a reserved personality. She basically would not take the initiative to speak to people she was not familiar with. On the other hand, Yun Jins personality waspletely opposite to these two people. He did not seem to be born from the same parents as them at all. However, Yun Wu was like a sweet girl who talked andughed more cheerfully at home and in front of her own people. Still, Yun Wu was a tough, cool and taciturn girl when she was outside.
In this regard, Yun Jin was simr to Yun Wu. Previously, Yun Jin courageously spoke up for Lin Shanchu at the cocktail party. Lin Shanchu liked Yun Jins Moments post and left ament: [The coat and wristwatch match well.] Then, Lin Shanchu returned to the WeChat chat interface and found that Yun Jin had sent her more than ten messages in one go. The first ten or so messages were filled with pictures, videos and audio recordings. Lin Shanchu looked at them one by one and found that they were all evidence that could prove that Cheng Fanjing had hired Inte trolls to nder her. There were transaction records, chat records, call records and some surveince footage. It was simply perfect evidence without any loopholes. Yun Jin sent another message. Yun Jin: [Shanshan, is it enough? If its not enough, Ill help you get some more evidence. [Cool]] His casual message sounded as if he was talking about something as simple as eating and sleeping. Was this the strength of a hacker? He managed to find so much evidence in a short time. As expected, professional matters should be handed over to professionals. Lin Shanchu: [Thats enough. Thank you, Second Brother! [Shhh]] Huo Xunzhou did not call Yun Jin Second Brother. She could not let Huo Xunzhou find out that she called Yun Jin Second Brother. Yun Jin: [ [Proud.jpg]] Lin Shanchu: [ [Passing tea to the boss.jpg]] She thought that Yun Jin was amazing. As long as someone could do something that she was not capable of, she thought that this person was amazing. Yun Jin did not send another message. Instead. he called her directlv. Second Brother? Cheng Fanjing is the most favored member in this generation of the Cheng family. If you want to publish the evidence I sent you, it will be difficult because the Cheng family will definitely stop you. Yeah, I know. You have a solution? Not yet. Yun Jin probably did not expect to receive such an answer. He fell silent for two seconds before he said, You can ask Zhouzhou for help. He will certainly help you settle it. After listening to his words, Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds. Then, she asked, What benefits did Huo Xunzhou offer you? Helpless, Yun Jin tried to y dumb and replied, What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? The benefits he gave you must be more expensive than the wristwatch I gave you, right? Lin Shanchu had already seen through everything. Yun Jin sighed and was somewhat aggrievedly as he said, Not really, its mainly because I cant beat him. Goodbye. Lin Shanchu quietly hung up the phone. The bbermouth, Yun Jin, was indeed unreliable. She did not dare to call Huo Xunzhou. Forget it, she should settle this matter first. Judging from Huo Xunzhous personality, he would help her settle this matter even if she did not contact him. Lin Shanchu called He Xiang over and forwarded the evidence that Yun Jin had sent her. Find a few marketing ounts and publish the evidence first thing in the morning. Alright. He Xiang went to call Qi Cheng to discuss this matter. Lin Shanchu yawned and was about to go back to her room to rest. As soon she turned around, she met Number 1357s furtive gaze. If you have something to say, say it, Lin Shanchu said after a pause. I know how to do these things too. Why dont you ask me for help? When she listened carefully, she could hear a hint of resentment in his tone. Is that so? Lin Shanchu asked suspiciously. As if to show that he was not lying, Number 1357 nodded vigorously. Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and waved at him, signaling him toe over. Number 1357 obediently walked over to Lin Shanchu and sat down next to her. Then, he ced his hands in front of him and sat upright like an elementary school student. My next target is Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu curled her lips and said, Ill believe you if you help me find evidence to prove that she killed Kong Suyi. Speechless, Number 1357 had a frozen expression and his eyes were filled with embarrassment. I knew you were bragging. Lin Shanchu sneered. Tang Qidai is an important supporting character. Number 1357 exined, Shes different from a minor character like Cheng Fanjing. A minor character? Lin Shanchu burst outughing. Cheng Fanjing is just a minor character? It turned out that that arrogant socialite was just a minor character. Lin Shanchu finishedughing. Then, she stood up and patted Number 1357s shoulder. Its gettingte. Go to sleep. When Lin Shanchu was about to leave, she heard Number 1357s robotic voice from behind. Although I cant get the evidence to prove that Tang Qidai killed Kong Suyi, I know that Lu Shiyuan has it. We can go and get it from him. Lin Shanchu turned around and asked, How are we supposed to get it? Number 1357 replied, Well get it when hes not home. How is this different from stealing? Were only taking an item with no value or life signs. It wont cause any harm to anyone. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Lin Shanchu thought that the robots brain circuits were quite to her liking. Alright, lets go to Lu Shiyuans house to get it. Lin Shanchu looked at him calmly for a moment before she continued, But do you know where Lu Shiyuan lives? I will find out as soon as possible. Alright, Ill wait for your good news. Cheng Fanjing could not sleep. She kept thinking about what Lin Shanchu had said backstage. As soon as she got home, she went to look for Patriarch Cheng. First, she coaxed him and made him happy. Then, sheined to him that someone was bullying her. When Patriarch Cheng heard herint, he immediately ordered his subordinates to deal with this matter. As long as there were any articles rted to Cheng Fanjing on the Inte tomorrow, they would be removed and suppressed. The Cheng family was so powerful that everyone had to respect them. Moreover, Patriarch Cheng was the one who personally made the call. Cheng Fanjing knew that nothing would go wrong in this matter, but still she was a little worried. It was because Lin Shanchu was really an ominous woman. No one who fought with her managed to gain an upper hand. The worst thing was that her reputation was ruined because of her illegitimate aunt, Tang Qidai. If her grandfathers men had not found that illegitimate aunt, she would still rot in jail by now. After midnight, Cheng Fanjing kept reading news online. She wanted to find out if there were any articles rted to her. Until dawn, she did not see any articles rted to her. She Imew that people in the entertainment industry loved to expose their opponents in the wee hours of the morning while they were sleeping. The sky was already bright, but still there was nomotion at all. It was either Lin Shanchu was bluffing or her grandfather already arranged his men to suppress the articles. She could finally sleep with peace of mind. Just as Cheng Fanjing was about to fall asleep in a daze, she heard a hurried knock on the door.. Chapter 419 - 419: This Lawyer’s Letter Was Sent Over by the Huo Family! Chapter 419 - 419: This Lawyers Letter Was Sent Over by the Huo Family! Trantor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Miss, the patriarch asked you to go over! Cheng Fanjing rolled over and sat up on the bed. When she was barely awake, she heard the servants shout from outside. After hearing the servants shout, she suddenly became more clear-headed. Cheng Fanjing immediately got out of bed and walked to the door. Then, she opened the door and asked the servant, Whats the matter? Its about the articles on the Inte, the servant said with a troubled expression. Youll know when you get there.
Cheng Fanjings expression changed. She quickly changed her clothes and went to look for Patriarch Cheng. Patriarch Cheng had been active in the business world for many years and was the one who hadpeted with Patriarch Yun for business back then. At this moment, he was sitting at the power seat of the hall, looking dignified without anger. Cheng Fanjing knew what was going on, so she lowered her head and called out guiltily, Grandpa! Ever since Tang Qidai was found, Patriarch Chengs health had strangely improved and his personality also underwent some changes probably because of his illness. For example, he was more lenient to the juniors. During this period of time, he also granted Cheng Fanjings every request. However, Cheng Fanjing was still afraid when he got angry. Cheng Fanjing stood in front of him, not daring to raise her head. Patriarch Cheng stared at her for a long time before instructing his subordinate beside him, Let her see for herself. Please take a look, miss. The subordinate handed the tablet to Cheng Fanjing. Cheng Fanjing looked up and saw the trending hashtags on the screen: #ChengFanjing #LinShanchusStudioSentALawyersLettertoChengFanjing #HuoChaoshengLinShanchuChengFanjing Cheng Fanjing only nced at the screen and saw these unusually eye-catching trending hashtags. Her vision darkened as she knelt down in front of Patriarch Cheng. Grandpa, Lin Shanchus trying to mess with me! She pped me in public yesterday and told me to check out the trending list today. Shes trying to ruin me on purpose! Patriarch Cheng rested his hands on the walking stick in front of him without moving his eyelids. How could she mess with you if you hadnt provoked her in the first ce and left some evidence? Grandpa Cheng Fanjings heart skipped a beat. It sounded like his grandfather was not going to help her. Now that you have provoked her, you have to gain the ability to suppress her so that she cant get up again! Patriarch Cheng knocked his walking stick heavily on the ground twice and said sternly, But do you have the ability to do so?! In the future, dont mention that youre Cheng Zhijins granddaughter! Cheng Fanjing kneeled down in front of Patriarch Cheng. Grandpa, I just couldnt stand seeing Lin Shanchu in the limelight. I just wanted to marry into the Huo family and I didnt think of causing you trouble Hmph! The Huo family! It would have been fine if she had not mentioned the Huo family. However, Patriarch Cheng became even angrier when he heard her mention the Huo family. He picked up thewyers letter beside him and threw it to Cheng Fanjing. Thewyers letter was sent over by the Huo family! Who is it? Cheng Fanjing picked up thewyers letter from the ground. Who else could it be? Lin Shanchus boyfriend, Huo Xunzhou! The patriarch deliberately emphasized thetter half of his words. You can use any means if you want to marry into the Huo family, but dont let someone get a hold over you if you use underhanded methods! Has Huo Xunzhou broken up with Lin Shanchu? And youre just trying to be a homewrecker? Among my granddaughters, youre the smartest, prettiest and most sensible. I was hoping to form an alliance with the Huo family through marriage, but you were the one who looked down on Huo Xunzhou in the first ce! Huo Chaosheng has been ignoring you, and Huo Zhuxiu is totally submissive to Huo Chaosheng. Ive advised you to give up on this idea! Good for you! Someone caught you red-handed for using these cheap tricks behind the scenes! Patriarch Cheng said those words in one breath. He heaved a long sigh and shook his head. Forget it. If I dont control you, youll really be ruined. After your aunts engagement ceremony is over, Ill ask your parents to settle your marriage. The elders in the family will have full authority to decide which family you are going to marry into. You just have to stay at home and wait for your marriage. Grandpa Cheng Fanjing still wanted to defend herself, but Patriarch Cheng did not want to listen to her anymore. A servant walked over and helped Patriarch Cheng out. Cheng Fanjing slumped to the ground, covering her face and crying. How did things turn out like this? Lin Shanchu was just a crazy woman from a small town, but she had defeated herpletely. Footsteps sounded in the hall again. Cheng Fanjing slowly raised her head. What are you doing here? Cheng Fanjings face turned cold when she saw that theer was Tang Qidai. Get lost! How can you speak to your elder like that? Tang Qidai bent over and reached out with a smile. She pinched Cheng Fanjings chin and enunciated, Call me Aunt. Cheng Fanjing sneered and shook her hand away. Its been so long. Dont you know your ce? Other than Patriarch Cheng, no one in the Cheng family liked Tang Qidai. However, Cheng Fanjing felt that Tang Qidais mental capacity was really strong. Even though she was hated by everyone, she still lived a carefree life in the Cheng family and even asked her grandfather to find her a suitable marriage partner. Of course I know my ce, but you dont seem to know your own situation. Tang Qidai stood up and looked down at her. Cheng Fanjing, Father made it very clear just now. You wont be able to marry into the Huo family because hell simply marry you off to some random family. Tang Qidai touched a sore spot with Cheng Fanjing by saying those words. Shut up! Cheng Fanjing cursed angrily. Tang Qidai did mind mind Cheng Fanjings curse at all and calmly said, Lin Shanchu is a wolf in sheeps clothing. She looks gentle and kind, but shes actually the most cunning. But are you willing to lose to her like this? Cheng Fanjing could hear the deeper meaning in her words. Cheng Qidai, what do you mean? If you want revenge, I can help you deal with Lin Shanchu. Tang Qidai looked into Cheng Fanjings eyes with sincerity. Why are you helping me? Cheng Fanjing asked with a frown. Tang Qidai sneered. You have probably heard of the grudge between Lin Shanchu and me. I cant bear to see her living so well. The two of them looked at each other for a moment before Cheng Fanjing suddenlyughed. What are youughing at? Tang Qidai frowned. Cheng Qidai, am I a fool in your eyes? You want to use me as a tool? No way! Cheng Fanjing got up from the ground with a cold face. Lin Shanchu isnt that easy to deal with. I lost to her because I wasnt as good as her. Grandpas health is not good, and I dont want to do anything to anger him. From now on, Ill only stay at home and do nothing else! Cheng Fanjing liked a life of luxury, so she wanted to marry into the Huo family and be Mrs. Huo that everyone envied. But before that, her entire morous appearance was given to her by the Cheng family. She would be nothing if she did not listen to her grandfather properly and get the protection of the family. Chapter 420 - 420: Solo Stan Chapter 420 - 420: Solo Stan Trantor:EndlessFantasy TrantionEditor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Cheng Fanjing grew up in the Cheng familys old mansion and was the one who spent the longest time with Patriarch Cheng among the grandchildren. It was also one of the reasons that Patriarch Cheng doted on her so much. Cheng Fanjing knew Patriarch Chengs personality better precisely because she had been with him for the longest time. She knew very well that even though her grandfather was angry, he would not marry her off to some random family like Tang Qidai said. Tang Qidai said that on purpose to provoke her into agreeing to her conditions.
It was also another reason that the Cheng Family disliked Tang Qidai. Apart from being an illegitimate child, Tang Qidai was also a devious person who had many tricks up her sleeves. She had no moral baseline at all and made things look bad. Cheng Fanjing adjusted her clothes and walked up to Tang Qidai with her chin raised. Cheng Qidai, since youve taken good care of my grandfather, Ill give you a piece of advice. My grandfather doesnt like disobedient children. He hates people who cant clean their own mess. After finished speaking, Cheng Fanjing left without waiting for Tang Qidais response. When Cheng Fanjings figure disappeared at the door, Tang Qidai suddenly turned around and kicked the chair beside her. She understood Cheng Fanjings words. Therefore, she tried more than once to win Cheng Fanjing over to deal with Lin Shanchu together. She wanted to tell Patriarch Cheng about it when Cheng Fanjing made a big mess. In this way, she could separate the patriarch from Cheng Fanjing over time. In the future, she would be the most person in the entire Cheng family who gained the most trust from the patriarch. As long as she had Patriarch Cheng as her backer, she would be able to live a smooth life in the future and no one would dare to provoke her. However, she could not win Cheng Fanjing over no matter what because of her arrogance. Her goal in trying to win over Cheng Fanjing was never to deal with Lin Shanchu. The current Lin Shanchu was no longer someone she could easily deal with. However, this was fine. Lin Shanchus actions had dealt a heavy blow to Cheng Fanjing and extinguished her arrogance. For a long time toe, Cheng Fanjing would be unusually well-behaved. Lin Shanchu just wanted Cheng Fanjing to suffer a setback, but she did not intend to take things too far. After all, what Cheng Fanjing had done was nothingpared to Tang Qidai. However, Huo Xunzhou also intervened in this matter. His methods were even more ruthless than Lin Shanchus. He directly revealed some of Cheng Fanjings dark past. Although Cheng Fanjing had never done great evil, she was good at ying tricks. It was fine if she did it once or twice, but her reputation would be greatly affected if she did it too many times. At first, theizens did not know who Cheng Fanjing was. Later on, an unknown daughter from a certain family in Capital City went online in a dummy ount and enthusiastically exposed her dark past to everyone. Those socialites who held a grudge against Cheng Fanjing also joined in anonymously. Only then did theizens understand the scandal. [It seems that Miss Cheng is a repeat offender who abuses her power to bully others.] [Miss Cheng didnt expect to hit a brick wall this time, did she?] [Isnt this the woman who had dinner with Best Actor Huo a few days ago?] [Did Sister Rabbit suddenly make a move because the Miss Cheng hooked up with her man?] [Of all people, she chose to provoke Lin Shanchu!] [Thats right. Sister Rabbit is just a title. It doesnt mean that shes as gentle as a rabbit.] She was on the trending list for most of the day, but she was no longer trending after a day or two. However, in reality, this matter was still being spread in the socialite circle in Capital City. Cheng Fanjing became theughing stock of the circle. She hid at home to avoid the limelight and did not go out to participate in social activities. Lin Shanchu had not contacted Huo Xunzhou for the past two days, and he had not contacted her either. Lin Shanchu knew better than anyone that Huo Xunzhou was neither busy with work nor had no time to contact her. Instead, he was waiting for her to turn herself in. Lin Shanchu put herself in his shoes. If Huo Xunzhou needed help, she could help him. However, Huo Xunzhou did not look for her but went to ask a favor from He Xiang Thinking about it this way, she felt that Huo Xunzhous temper was understandable. Lin Shanchu realized that Huo Xunzhou was throwing tantrums a little too often. She wanted to call him petty, but he was throwing a tantrum while helping her settle the matter. He was not petty, but he had not contacted her for two days. Thinking about it, she felt that he was a little cute. Lin Shanchu decided to turn herself in. She picked up her car keys and prepared to go out. Where are you going? Number 1357 appeared in front of her at some point like a ghost. Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds before she replied, Im going to meet Huo Xunzhou. Ill go too. Number 1357 raised his head. The dark circles under his eyes were as big as walnuts. Lin Shanchu asked, What did you dost night? I stayed upte to watch dramas. Number 1357 sighed. The TV series nowadays are so good. Lin Shanchu left with Number 1357. He Xiang came back from shopping and saw them at the entrance of the neighborhood. Sister Lin, are you going out? Yeah, I wont being back for dinner. Lin Shanchu waved at her and strode into the car. He Xiang stayed where she was, feeling a little disappointed and thinking that Lin Shanchu would take her uncle with her whenever she went out. Before Lin Shanchu went to meet Huo Xunzhou, she went to the store to get the wristwatch that she had mentioned when she gave him a false hope. The actual wristwatch looked better than in the promotional video. It was low-key yet high-quality and luxurious. The difference between it and the wristwatch she gave Yun Jin was obvious. That petty Huo Xunzhou should be satisfied now. Is this wristwatch expensive? Number 1357 asked her when they got back into the car. Its affordable. The price was not important. What was important was whether Huo Xunzhou was satisfied or not. Number 1357 nced at her thoughtfully and said, It must be very expensive. What was with this unconvinced tone? Lin Shanchu turned to look at him and asked, What are you trying to say? Number 1357 looked at her expression and said bluntly, Cant he buy it himself when he has money? He still needs to spend your money. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Judging from Number 1357s tone, she could felt a strong sense of an old father aching for his daughters money. Lin Shanchu replied, I have money, so whats wrong with spending some money on my boyfriend? Oh. Number 1357 lowered his head silently. Lin Shanchu said, Drive. As Number 1357 started the car, Lin Shanchu started lecturing him. Your mindset is wrong. Love is a two-way street. Huo Xunzhou has given me many things. This wristwatch is nothing at all Number 1357 only knew sweet things and was really clueless about the emotionalmunication between people. After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she noticed that Number 1357 was unusually silent. She nced at him and said, Speak. Number 1357 said softly, I just feel that youve suffered a lot and he should treat you better. Lin Shanchu did not expect to hear this answer. Stunned, she replied, Number 1357, do you know what we call your behavior? What is it called? Solo stan. Previous chapter Chapter 421 - 421: Huo Xunzhou, Control Your Woman! Chapter 421 - 421: Huo Xunzhou, Control Your Woman! Trantor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Number 1357 searched for the meaning of the solo stan. Next, he agreed, You can say that I am a solo stan. He even sounded proud. Lin Shanchu moved her lips but did not say anything in the end. She was really speechless. She remembered that Number 1357s target was the stupid system Number 2580, and she felt that it was not difficult to understand his brain circuit. Number 2580 was Lu Shiyuans solo stan. Even if it was bound to her, it had to help Lu Shiyuan at all times. Number 1357 was her solo stan. Huo Xunzhou had done so much for her without a care in the world. She only bought him a wristwatch, but Number 1357 felt sorry for her money. Lin Shanchu felt amused yet helpless. Huo Xunzhou now clocked in and worked at Huo Corporation every day. Therefore, Lin Shanchu asked Number 1357 to drive her to Huo Corporation. When the receptionist saw Lin Shanchu, she was much more polite thanst time. Miss Lin, are you here to see President Huo? Yes. This way, please. Ill press the elevator button for you. The receptionist led Lin Shanchu to the elevator. After Lin Shanchu entered the elevator, she smiled and thanked the receptionist. Thank you. Youre wee. As the elevator doors closed, Lin Shanchu stopped smiling and took out her phone to call Li Mo. Li Mo quickly picked up the phone. Sister-inw. Noticing his deliberately lowered voice, Lin Shanchu asked, What are you guys doing now? Big Brothers father is here to see him, Li Mo said, knowing that she was asking about Huo Xunzhou. Huo Zhuxiu? Hes been discharged so soon? He came in a wheelchair. I know. Im in the elevator. Ill be there soon. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone with a cold face. To her suprise, Huo Zhuxiu was here as well. How unlucky! As soon as the elevator doors opened, Lin Shanchu heard Li Mos voice. Sister-inw. Li Mo saw Number 1357 following behind Lin Shanchu and nodded slightly. Mr. Lin. Lin Shanchu had been here once, so she knew the way and walked straight to Huo Xunzhous office. Where is Huo Zhuxiu? Hes been in the office with Big Brother for more than ten minutes. I dont know what theyre talking about. Li Mo sounded worried. Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. Well know once we go in and take a look. Li Mo nodded solemnly and replied, Yeah. When Huo Zhuxiu came over, Huo Xunzhou chased Li Mo out of the office. He wanted to talk to Huo Zhuxiu alone. Li Mo was curious about what they were talking about inside the office, but he did not dare to go in. Lin Shanchu was different. Even if she poked a hole in the sky, Huo Xunzhou would gently patch it up for her. As for Huo Zhuxiu Li Mo now knew why Huo Zhuxiu was hospitalized. Not only was Li Mo not worried about the consequences of Lin Shanchu barging into the office, but he was even a little excited. When they reached the office door, Li Mo took the initiative to unlock the door for Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu gestured for him to stand aside. As soon as Li Mo backed away, Lin Shanchu kicked open the office door with a loud bang. In the next moment, Huo Zhuxius furious scolding could be heard. Huo Zhuxiu shouted at Huo Xunzhou, Do your people still have any rules?! Everyone around Huo Zhuxiu knew his temper, so no one dared to kick the door open like this. Leaning back on the sofa, Huo Xunzhou looked towards the door with a rxed expression and smiling eyes. Who else would dare to kick his office door like this other than Lin Shanchu? Li Mo would not dare to kick the door open like this unless it was a life-threatening matter. He slowly looked towards the door and saw Lin Shanchu dressed in a white down jacket. The white down jacket reached her calves with the zipper at the top. Her entire body was wrapped in the down jacket, making her look a little cute like a penguin. However, it did not affect her aura. She was expressionless. When her calm eyes met Huo Xunzhous, they instantly lit up and she walked over to him hurriedly. Before she arrived in front of Huo Xunzhou, he already reached out and waited for her to hold his hand. Lin Shanchu walked up to him and held his hand, smiling radiantly. Huo Xunzhou held her hand and sat down together. Then, he reached out and pulled down the zipper of her down jacket as if no one was around. Theres a heater in the room. Dont you feel hot? Its a little hot. Lin Shanchu raised her chin and obediently allowed Huo Xunzhou to adjust her clothes. Huo Zhuxiu, who had been ignored by the two of them, pped the armrest of his wheelchair hard to attract their attention. Lin Shanchu cooperatively allowed Huo Xunzhou to help her take off the down jacket while turning to look at Huo Zhuxiu. Youre discharged so soon? Are your injuries fully healed? Huo Zhuxiu got angry when he saw her smile. Then, he gripped the armrest of his wheelchair, gritted his teeth and shouted, Shut up! Lin Shanchu pouted aggrievedly and replied, Youre so fierce. Im just concerned about your injuries. You are discharged before youve fully recovered. What if you die outside? After Huo Xunzhou was done helping her take off the down jacket, he was folding it with his head slightly lowered and his curled lips could be vaguely seen from the side. Lin Shanchu was here to help him. Huo Zhuxiu trembled all over in rage. However, he could not win against Lin Shanchu, so he could only turn around and scold Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou! Control your woman! Shanshan is just concerned about you. Since you havent recovered yet, hurry up and go back to the hospital. Huo Xunzhous nonchnt expression did not reveal any emotions. Huo Zhuxiu was so angry that he was tongue-tied. Then, Huo Xunzhou added, Should I get someone to take you there, or do you want to get someone to pick you up? You dont have to be hypocritical. Ill leave by myself! Huo Zhuxiu was not skillful in operating the electric wheelchair as he headed out. He stumbled along the way, looking miserable. Huo Xunzhou looked at Huo Zhuxius back. Just as he was about to reach the door, Huo Xunzhou suddenly said, To make it easier for me to take care of you, Ill be moving back to the old mansion for the time being. Huo Zhuxiu, who was originally stumbling, bumped into the door frame. No need! Huo Zhuxiu angrily turned around and roared at Huo Xunzhou. Its the best way to take care of me if you dont appear in front of me! How can I do that? Im your only son. If I dont take care of you, who else can do it? Oh, right. Huo Xunzhou paused slightly before he continued, Theres Chaosheng, but he doesnt want to take care of you. Huo Zhuxiu shouted, Shut up! Huo Xunzhou turned to Li Mo and instructed him with a smile, Li Mo, please take my father home. Li Mo nodded slightly and walked over to help Huo Zhuxiu push the wheelchair. I dont need your help! Huo Zhuxiu struggled to stop Li Mo from pushing him. However, Li Mo pushed him towards the elevator without caring what he said. Huo Zhuxius curses echoed throughout the corridor. Huo Xunzhou, you unfilial son! Number 1357 went forward and closed the office door. Once the door closed, nothing could be heard. Lin Shanchu, who had been listening attentively to Huo Zhuxius scolding, turned to look at Huo Xunzhou in disappointment. Just now, you When she saw Huo Xunzhous expression, she felt guilty and kept quiet. Chapter 422 - 422 : Think Carefully Before You Answer Chapter 422 - 422 : Think Carefully Before You Answer Trantor:EndlessFantasy TrantionEditor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou crossed his legs and leaned against the back of the sofa,zily looking at Lin Shanchu. There was no anger on his face. He did not say a word. However, Lin Shanchu could feel that the room was filled with an air of inquisition. It was not difficult for her to choose whether to confess voluntarily or passively. Lin Shanchu blinked and exined in a small voice, I didnt mean to not contact you about the matter with Cheng Fanjing, but I just didnt think of you at that time You didnt think of me? Huo Xunzhou repeated the words without even blinking. Lin Shanchu was dumbstruck. Although she only thought of Yun Jin at first, she quickly remembered that Huo Xunzhou could also do it. After all, Huo Xunzhou used to be a hacker. In the end, she decided to ask Yun Jin for help because she thought that this matter involved illegal operations and the impact on Huo Xunzhou would be quite big if it was exposed. Huo Xunzhou knew that his guess was correct as soon as he saw her expression. Tell me the truth. He reached out and pinched Lin Shanchus face in revenge. Lin Shanchu felt a little pain from the pinch, but she did not dare to make a scene. She could not hide anything from him anyway, so she might as well tell him the truth. I was worried that it would have a bad impact on you if something went wrong and someone identally exposed itter. Huo Xunzhous heart almost melted when he heard her aggrieved words. He let go of her hand and touched her face. Whats the point of overthinking it? So what if someone found out? Would I be afraid of them? Lin Shanchu shook her head silently. What I fear is that you wont tell me and suffer alone if something goes wrong, and Ill be thest one to know when something bad happens. She was used to fighting alone. When something happened, she would subconsciously take action herself instead of asking him for help. Huo Xunzhou understood Lin Shanchus personality, so he was not particrly angry when he heard about this incident from Yun Jin. Instead, he expected this would happen. He thought that since she always said that he was petty, he would be petty and not contact her for the next two days while waiting for her to take the initiative to contact him. Now that he heard her words, his heart softened even more. He cupped her face and kissed her. Lin Shanchu, you better remember this. No matter what happens, I hope you can tell me immediately. Alright. Lin Shanchu blinked and stared intently at him as she replied, Thats what I think too. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and asked, Why are you looking at me like that? Lin Shanchu snorted. Are you feeling guilty? Huo Xunzhous eyes flickered as he asked, Why would I feel guilty? Lin Shanchu tapped his nose and replied, Because youre hiding something from me. Huo Xunzhou said, Im not. Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. Think carefully before you answer. Its just a trivial matter, Huo Xunzhou said after two seconds of silence. A trivial matter? When he was talking about her just now, he even said sternly that she had to tell him immediately no matter what happened. When it was his turn, he said that it was a trivial matter. How could a man be so two-faced? Lin Shanchu huffed and bit his hand. Huo Xunzhou let her bite him without struggling. Lin Shanchu had no interest in biting him, so she let go of his hand without biting hard. Forget it if you arent going to tell me! She shook off his hand in frustration. Then, she turned around and took out a wristwatch from her bag and stuffed it into his hand. Take it. This is the wristwatch I told you aboutst time. Do you like it? Huo Xunzhou couldnt help butugh. He had not opened the box and looked at it, but she was already asking if he liked it? I like it. Thats good. Im leaving now. Lin Shanchu stood up and was about to leave. Then, Huo Xunzhou reached out to grab her hand, but she nimbly dodged him. Huo Xunzhou was taken aback and said, I wasnt feeling well a few days ago, but Im fine now. If you dont believe me, you can apany me to the hospital for a checkup. A trace of hesitation shed across Lin Shanchus face. Noticing her expression, Huo Xunzhou continued, Lets go now. Then Lin Shanchu replied slowly in order to make herself seem reluctant. Alright. Huo Xunzhou smiled and helped her put on the down jacket. He then put on his own coat and led her out. As they walked, Huo Xunzhou noticed someone behind him. He turned around and saw Number 1357 following behind him with a straight face. Huo Xunzhou asked expressionlessly. You areing along? Number 1357 nodded. Huo Xunzhou said, Theres no need toe with us. The plot doesnt restrict me that much anymore. Ill protect Shanshan, said Number 1357 as he looked at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu was stunned. How could he say something like that in front of Huo Xunzhou? Sure enough, she turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou frowning slightly. Noticing the unfavourable situation, she immediately gave Number 1357 a look. Number 1357 understood her and walked forward, no longer following behind the two of them. Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and said, He can drive us there. Huo Xunzhou wanted to say something but Lin Shanchu interrupted her, Lets go. Its gettingte, or else we wont be able to finish the full checkup in time. On the way to the hospital, Huo Xunzhou would keep an eye on Number 1357 as long as Lin Shanchu did not talk to him, as if Number 1357 wanted to snatch his wife away from him. Lin Shanchu could only keep talking to Huo Xunzhou. When they finally reached the hospital, Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief. By the time the results were out, the sky was already dark. Lin Shanchu was still flipping through Huo Xunzhous report when she got into the car. Huo Xunzhou asked her helplessly, You still dont believe the doctor? When the report came out, the doctor said that Huo Xunzhou was healthy and there was nothing wrong with him. At that time, Lin Shanchu asked, Is there really no problem? Fortunately, private hospitals were expensive and the doctors were very patient. The doctor patiently exined to Lin Shanchu the various tests. Lin Shanchu believed the doctors words at that time. However, she felt that something was wrong when she left the hospital. There was nothing wrong with the results of the examination. She trusted the doctors professionalism. Then, the problemy with Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu looked intently at Huo Xunzhou. What was the secret that he had to keep it under wraps? Huo Xunzhou calmly allowed her to size him up. After a while, Lin Shanchu put down the report and said, I believe the doctor. She believed the doctor, but not Huo Xunzhou. Lets go have dinner. What do you want to eatter? Huo Xunzhou smiled. Anything is fine. Lin Shanchu had something on her mind, so her appetite was average and any food was fine. Lin Shanchu acquiesced to Number 1357 following them, so Huo Xunzhou did not say anything else. However, when they arrived at the restaurant, Huo Xunzhou booked a table for Number 1357 alone and threw the menu to him. Order whatever you want to eat. If you have any questions, ask the waiter. Donte to us. Number 1357 kept quiet. Huo Xunzhou asked, Do you understand? Number 1357 nodded and replied, Are you going to pay the bill? Chapter 423 - 423: I Can Recognize Him No Matter What He Looks Like Chapter 423: I Can Recognize Him No Matter What He Looks Like Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou did not know why Number 1357 asked that question, but he answered, Of course. Thats good. Number 1357 picked up the menu and called the waiter over to order the expensive dishes. Lin Shanchu held back herughter and was brought to another table by Huo Xunzhou. Number 1357 really brought out the characteristics of solo stan to the fullest. He was afraid that Huo Xunzhou would spend her money again. Number 1357 was a good system who kept his promise. During the entire dinner, he did note over to disturb Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. Instead, he called the waiter over from time to time. After the meal, Lin Shanchu went to the washroom while Number 1357 followed the waiter who brought the bill to Huo Xunzhou. After the waiter left with the card, Huo Xunzhou saw Number 1357. Number 1357 sized him up with a puzzled expression. Huo Xunzhou took the initiative and asked, Whats the matter? Arent you in pain? Number 1357 asked after staring at him for a while. Huo Xunzhous eyes froze slightly before he asked calmly, What are you talking about? Number 1357 sat down beside him and replied, You know what Im talking about. Huo Xunzhous expression darkened slightly as he scrutinized Number 1357 with a sharp gaze. Number 1357 spoke slowly. Number 2580 has a habit of inflicting painful punishments on those who dont follow the plot, and there hasnt been any new tricks. Whats Number 2580? The useless system that Shanshan was bound to. I see. Number 1357 kept sizing Huo Xunzhou up as if he was trying to confirm something. He stared at Huo Xunzhou for a long time and finally came to a conclusion. Youve been enduring it? Huo Xunzhou said casually, Its not that unbearable. I can influence Number 2580s maic field, Number 1357 mechanically said to Huo Xunzhou. However, its influence cannot be underestimated. The magnitude of the pain it inflicts on you increases with the number of times. It wont be reduced much because of my influence. Huo Xunzhou did not refute him. Instead, he asked, So? Youre nice to Shanshan and havent let her know about it, said Number 1357 with a serious face. After two seconds of silence, Huo Xunzhou asked slowly, What does it have to do with you? Number 1357 was speechless. From Huo Xunzhous point of view, it really seem like it had nothing to do with him. Lets go. Lin Shanchus voice came from behind them. Huo Xunzhou immediately turned around to observe Lin Shanchus expression. Lin Shanchus expression was natural, as if she had not heard their conversation. Huo Xunzhou calmly took her hand and walked out. On the way back, Huo Xunzhou did not look at Number 1357 as often as he did earlier. Number 1357 seemed to havepletely forgotten about Huo Xunzhou and was focused on driving. The two of them seemed to have reached a consensus and deliberately ignored each other. Huo Xunzhou gave Li Mo a call on the way to see Lin Shanchu off. When Huo Xunzhou reached Lin Shanchus house, Li Mo already parked his car downstairs and was waiting to pick him up. A puzzled expression shed across Li Mos face as he saw Number 1357 get out of the car. He did not even follow Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu on their date, but why did her uncle go with them? What kind of operation was this? Number 1357 stood outside the car. When he saw Li Mo, he nodded slightly at him. Li Mo also nodded slightly to greet him in return. Huo Xunzhou was talking to Lin Shanchu in the car. Shortly afterwards, the two of them got out of the car. After Lin Shanchu and Number 1357 entered the neighborhood, Huo Xunzhou turned around and got into the car. After Huo Xunzhou got into the car, he leaned against the seat and looked exhausted. Li Mo looked at him through the rearview mirror and asked, Big Brother, are you that tired from dating Sister-inw? Huo Xunzhou did not even open his eyes and his voice sounded weak. Drive. Oh. After three seconds of silence, Li Mo asked, Why did Mr. Lin follow you two on a date? Huo Xunzhou opened his eyes and looked expressionlessly at him through the rearview mirror. You cane with us next time if you want to. Li Mo shook his head hurriedly and replied, I wont go. In the elevator, Lin Shanchu crossed her arms, stared at the elevator wall and suddenly asked, What did you say to Huo Xunzhou? Surprised, Number 1357 turned to look at Lin Shanchu and replied, You heard everything? Lin Shanchu angrily looked at him and asked, If I heard everything, would I still ask you? Sometimes, she thought that Number 1357 was smart, but sometimes, she thought that he was a little stupid. After a moment of silence, Number 1357 said, Im not going to tell you. Youre not going to tell me? Lin Shanchu thought she had misheard him. She was a little surprised. Number 1357 usually looked like he was willing to risk his life for her. Why didnt he even answer her a simple question at this time? Was he pretending to be willing to risk his life for her? Number 1357 lowered his head guiltily and said, This is a secret between men. I have to keep my promise. Lin Shanchu asked, Men? Your system has a gender distinction? Number 1357 was stumped by this question. I Im a man now. Ding! The elevator door opened at this moment. Lin Shanchu snorted and strode out. Number 1357 followed closely behind her, as if he was afraid that she would leave him behind. Lin Shanchu walked to the door and leaned on the side, gesturing for Number 1357 to open the door with the key. When Number 1357 opened the door, Lin Shanchu stood at the side and asked him, Is there any news about Lu Shiyuan? Number 1357 paused in his action of opening the door and nced at the opposite door before he replied, Yes. The house that Lin Suguang had found for Lin Shanchu was arge apartment with two units on one floor. The doors were facing each other. Lin Shanchu followed his gaze and saw that the door of the opposite house was tightly shut. Sister Lin, youre back. He Xiang opened the door from the inside. Yeah, Lin Shanchu responded and took the lead to walked in. Number 1357 followed behind and closed the door. Then, Lin Shanchu leaned against the door and peeked through the peephole at the house opposite. The door on the other side was still closed, and no one came out. He Xiang leaned over and asked curiously, Sister Lin, what are you looking at? Lin Shanchu nced at Number 1357 and replied, Ask him. Uncle, whats going on? He Xiang also looked through the peephole, but she did not see anything. Number 1357 did not say a word and walked in silently. Lin Shanchu and He Xiang looked at each other and followed him. After sitting down on the sofa, Number 1357 said, When I went out to take out the trashst night, I saw someone who looked like Lu Shiyuaning out of the house. Really? He Xiang was shocked. I can recognize him no matter what he looks like. Number 1357 said firmly, Although its just his back view, I think its Lu Shiyuan himself. Lin Shanchu was leaning against the corner of the sofa with one hand supporting her head as she stared silently at Number 1357. He made up this reason just for He Xiang. Number 1357 must have sensed Number 2580, so he was sure that Lu Shiyuan lived opposite. However, Lu Shiyuan really knew how to choose a hideout. No wonder Huo Xunzhou could not find him. He was just right under their nose. After a while, Lin Shanchu sidetracked He Xiang. He Xiang, get me a ss of warm milk. Chapter 424 - 424 :Brother Xunzhou Will Find a Way to Get Me Out Chapter 424 :Brother Xunzhou Will Find a Way to Get Me Out Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Alright. He Xiang stood up and left. Only Lin Shanchu and Number 1357 were left in the living room. Lin Shanchu said slowly, Tell me in detail. Ive been able to sense Number 2580s presence since yesterday. I wasnt so sure, so I didnt tell you. Number 1357 looked up at Lin Shanchu and continued, When we opened the door and came in just now, Number 2580s signal was very strong, so Im sure that it and Lu Shiyuan are living opposite. Lin Shanchu asked, So, what should we do next? I sessfully mastered the most advanced lockpicking skill yesterday, Number 1357 said mysteriously as he took out his phone. Lin Shanchu replied, Is that so? Number 1357 smiled. His expression looked a little stiff and was not as natural as Lin Suguangs. Tonight is the time to witness a miracle. After a moment of silence, Lin Shanchu blinked and couldnt help but ask, Other than watching romance dramas, have you been watching anything strangetely? Number 1357 answered seriously, I watched some short videos on TikTok. Lin Shanchu fell silent for a moment before she said, If you have nothing to do, dont watch those videos. Watch more sweet romance dramas. Alright! Number 1357 nodded vigorously. Sister Lin, heres your ss of milk. When He Xiang came over with a ss of milk, the two of them stopped talking. At night, He Xiang returned to her room to rest. Lin Shanchu sat in the living room and watched a sweet romance drama with Number 1357. Number 1357 never stopped curling his lips, whereas Lin Shanchu frowned the entire time. It was okay to watch one or two episodes, she felt bored but after watching too many episodes. After a long time, Lin Shanchu sighed. When will we set off? Number 1357 immediately suppressed his smile and answered her question seriously, Number 2580s signal is still very strong. Alright then It was alreadyte at night. Lin Shanchu was a little sleepy and closed her eyes slightly. After a while, she fell asleep. Just as she was in a daze, Number 1357 woke up her with a push. Shanshan, we can set off now. Lets go. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes sleepily and asked, Lu Shiyuan and the others arent home? Uh-huh. What time is it? 3:30 a.m. When Lin Shanchu noticed the time, she immediately became much more clear-headed. Why are they going out at this hour? To do some shady business, Number 1357 replied with a serious expression. Lin Shanchu was speechless. People go out in the middle of the night to do some shady business, dont they? Uh-huh. Lin Shanchu stood up and said, Lets go. Be quiet and dont wake He Xiang up. The two of them disguised themselves and sneakily walked to the opposite house. Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and stood sideways. She lifted her chin slightly, indicating for him to show off his most advanced lockpicking skill. In front of her, Number 1357 took out all kinds of sophisticated tools and instruments that she had never seen before from his bag and unlocked the door in a few moves. Lin Shanchu was dumbfounded as she asked, When did you prepare all these? If you want to go to get something at someone elses house, of course you have to be fully prepared. As Number 1357 spoke, the door opened with a click. Lin Shanchu was about to walk into the house, but Number 1357 stopped her. Wait a minute. He then took out a device that Lin Shanchu did not recognize. After turning it on, he fiddled with the device at the door and said, Theres a surveince camera in his room! Ill use human tools to interfere with it first Shanshan, wait a moment! Lin Shanchu pushed the door open and walked in without waiting for him to finish his words. She swaggered around as if she was at home. Then, she turned on the lights and began to rummage through the cabs to find things. Number 1357 looked at her figure and muttered to himself, This is a little too arrogant He suddenly remembered that his daughters initial persona was sweet and innocent. How pitiful. The sweet and innocent daughter had been forced into this state. Hurry up ande over to look for it together! Lin Shanchu saw him standing there for a long time without moving, so she turned around impatiently and called out to him. Iming. Number 1357 immediately followed her. Theyout of the house was the same as Lin Shanchus. The living room was empty and Lin Shanchu quickly finished flipping through it. She walked straight to Lu Shiyuans bedroom. There was only one bed in the bedroom, and the nket on it rolled up in a messy ball. Lin Shanchu stood at the door with a frown. Then, she took a nce and called Number 1357 over. You go in and look. Ill go to the study. She opened the door to the next room and saw beer cans all over the floor. There was a desk by the window with aptop and some documents scattered on it. Lin Shanchu frowned, kicked away the beer cans and strode toward the desk. Then, she took Lu Shiyuansptop and left. Number 1357 came out from the opposite room. Lin Shanchu asked, Did you find anything useful? No, I havent. Lets go then. Lin Shanchu stuffed theptop into Number 1357s hands. Take it away? Number 1357 asked uncertainly as he looked at theptop in his hand. Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows and replied, What else? Do you want to stay here and take your time looking at its content, like in the movies and TV series? Then, youll be caught red-handed when Lu Shiyuanes back. Number 1357 said worriedly, But if we take theptop away, Lu Shiyuan might find out. So what if he finds out? Its not a big deal. The worst he can do is call the police and arrest me. Lin Shanchu snorted. Im just borrowing hisptop. Even if I go to jail, Brother Xunzhou will find a way to get me out. Number 1357 looked at Lin Shanchu speechlessly. Was this the legendary ouw fanatic? After the two of them took Lu Shiyuansptop home, they went to the living room to turn on theputer to check the content inside. However, theptop was set with a power-on password. Wait for me, Number 1357 said with a serious expression. Then, he took out his phone. He sat across from Lin Shanchu, holding his phone up high in front of him. Lin Shanchu saw him tap on his phone a few times, and then he swiped the screen from time to time. What are you doing? Lin Shanchu curiously craned her neck to look at the screen, but Number 1357 avoided her. Lin Shanchus face darkened as she said, Give me your phone. Number 1357 obediently handed her the phone. Lin Shanchu took the phone and saw the screen filled with words. She swiped the phone screen to the top and saw the question: [How to crack theptops power-on password? (for dummies)] Speechless, Lin Shanchu returned the phone to Number 1357 with aplicated expression. Can you read it? I even understand it. Number 1357 took the phone and read thest paragraph. Then, he put the phone aside and picked up theptop to crack the password. Lin Shanchu held her chin and yawned as she stared at Number 1357. After a short while, Number 1357 looked up at her and said, Its unlocked. Lin Shanchu immediately went over and said, Check if there is any encrypted or hidden files. There is. Number 1357 was stunned after opening the file. Whats wrong? Lin Shanchu turned her head, but she was astounded after looking at it. The encrypted file actually contained her photos. Chapter 425 - 425 : Smashing for Three Minutes Chapter 425 - 425 : Smashing for Three Minutes Trantor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu scrolled down using the mouse. There were photos of her from childhood to adulthood. There were photos of her going on field trips when she was in elementary school, photos of her being interviewed by reporters after her college entrance examination results were released, and various photos of staged events and activities after she entered the entertainment industry. Among the tens of thousands of photos, there were even some that Lin Shanchu could not remember. Whats wrong with him?! Lin Shanchu exited the folder and deleted it with one click. However, she could not delete all the photos at once because there were too many of them. They could only be deleted slowly in the background. Are there any other hidden files? Lin Shanchu asked Number 1357 as she opened the other folders. This is the only encrypted file, Number 1357 said with aplicated expression. Lin Shanchu snorted. Whats the matter? Are you touched? Lu Shiyuan was in such a dire state now, but there were tens of thousands of photos of her hidden in hisputer. Judging from this action, he could be considered affectionate if she disregarded the past. Lu Shiyuan was a character that shouldnt have existed in the first ce Number 1357 shook his head and suddenly changed the topic. But Ive already thought of a way to deal with him. Lin Shanchu turned to look at him and asked, What kind of way? Number 1357s gaze turned cold as he pointed at the folder on the desktop. Look at this. Lin Shanchu opened the file and realized that it was a video file that was more than ten minutes long. She pressed the y button. Kong Suyi and Tang Qidai appeared on the screen. It looked like a surveince video. The background of the scene was a residential building. The room was not big. Judging from theyout and furnishings, it was probably in Kong Suyis house. Kong Suyi and Tang Qidai stood facing each other. Do you have to threaten me like this? Daidai, I dont want this to happen either, but you are now done for. I still have to live and I need money. As long as youre willing to give me ten million yuan, I wont tell anyone about your past Ten million yuan? Youre really asking for an exorbitant price. I dont have ten million yuan. Ask President Lu for it. At least President Lu is willing to send you abroad to avoid the limelight. Ten million yuan shouldnt be a problem Yeah, ten million yuan is not a problem Tang Qidai said slowly as she ran her fingers through her hair. Youre the problem. Kong Suyi, who seemed to have realized something, took two steps back and asked, What are you doing? Tang Qidai tilted her head and smiled faintly. Then, she picked up a crystal ball ornament from the shelf aside and smashed Kong Suyis head hard. Blood gushed out from Kong Suyis head. She slowly slid to the ground without making a sound while holding onto the sofa. It was enough to prove how heavy Tang Qidais blow was. Kong Suyi copsed on the ground and slowly touched the wound on her head. Then, she raised her blood-stained finger to look at it before looking up at Tang Qidai. You dare to hit me? Kong Suyis voice was so soft that it was barely audible probably because she was a little dizzy from the impact. Standing there, Tang Qidai looked down at Kong Suyi and said softly with a faint smile, Im sorry, I didnt want to do this either. Those who were acquainted with Tang Qidai knew that she would never apologize sincerely. Kong Suyi red coldly at Tang Qidai as she tried to stand up by holding onto the sofa, but she fell limply to the ground again. Then, she stopped struggling and crawled on the floor to reach for the phone on the coffee table. Tang Qidai asked, What are you trying to do? Kong Suyi had already acquired her phone. She grinned sinisterly at Tang Qidai and replied, Im going to call the police. Dont even think about leaving the country. You will go straight to jail. Tang Qidai was still holding the crystal ball ornament in her hand. Kong Suyi was about to make a call after she finished speaking, but she did not notice Tang Qidais raised hand. By the time Kong Suyi noticed something abnormal and raised her head, Tang Qidai already hit her hard with the crystal ball ornament. Ah! Kong Suyis scream could be heard from the video. Kong Suyis survival instincts made her crawl away to avoid Tang Qidais beating. Tang Qidai allowed her to crawl half a meter away before chasing after her again. Riding on her, she grabbed her hair and smashed her head hard. Bam! One after another, dull sounds came from the surveince video. Lin Shanchu looked at the time on the upper left corner. Tang Qidai had been smashing Kong Suyis head for three minutes before she stopped. Tang Qidai dropped the crystal ball ornament and weakly copsed to the ground. After a while, Tang Qidai was done resting. Then, she slowly got up to check on Kong Suyi. Kong Suyi? Kong Suyi, wake up! Kong Suyi showed no reaction at all. Tang Qidai seemed to have finally realized something and mumbled panically, Shes dead I killed someone. I killed Kong Suyi Tang Qidai was in disbelief at first, but then she startedughing. Its good that shes dead. The problem of ten million yuan has been solved The surveince video suddenly went silent. Tang Qidais hand was still stained with Kong Suyis blood before she reached into her pocket. The video ended here. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Number 1357, only to find that he was covering his eyes with both hands, watching the video through the gaps between his fingers. Confused, Lin Shanchu asked, What are you doing? Number 1357 looked at her timidly as he replied, Ive never seen such a scene before, so Im a little scared. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Number 1357 was probably afraid that Lin Shanchu would look down on him, so he tried his best to exin himself. Such scary plots usually dont show up in sweet novels. Arent you afraid? Ive stabbed someone before, dont you know? Lin Shanchu replied with a face was as calm as still water. Reading the relevant scene, Number 1357s expression slightly changed as he said, I need your reminder to know what happened before, so I know it it now. At that time Lin Shanchu decided to tell him in detail about the situation at that time. Number 1357 changed the topic with a numb expression. Whats she doing with her hands in her pockets? He pointed at Tang Qidai in the surveince video. Lin Shanchu curled her lips and said coldly, To get her phone and call Lu Shiyuan so that she could ask him toe over and clean up the scene. Lu Shiyuan still had the male lead aura at that time. After he handled the matter, it was naturally sessfully covered up. Then, the two of them worked together to create public opinion and trick everyone into thinking that Kong Suyi hadmitted suicide because of the cyberbullying. What do you n to do next? Number 1357 asked after a moment of silence. Im going to attend Tang Qidais engagement ceremony. Lin Shanchu said as she stretched her sore neck. I heard that itll be held in the next few days. Youre in a good mood. Number 1357 could hear the casualness in her tone. Of course. Im very happy to be able to settle this years ounts before the new year. She was worried that this debt would only be settled next year. Chapter 426 - 426: If You Hang Up Now, I’ll Come Right Away Chapter 426 - 426: If You Hang Up Now, Ill Come Right Away Trantor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor:EndlessFantasy Trantion You call this settling the ounts? Number 1357 asked Lin Shanchu with uncertainty. Thats right. Tang Qidai owes us all this. Lin Shanchu stood up and yawned. She hasnt even paid off her debt, so why should she live a good life? ording to Buddhism, one would achieve salvation after giving up evil. However, Lin Shanchu could not do good deeds, nor did she believe in Buddhism. Lin Shanchu only knew that those who owed a debt had to pay it back sooner orter. He Xiang walked out in a daze. When she saw Lin Shanchu and Number 1357, she asked, Sister Lin, what are you guys doing?. Lin Shanchu smiled calmly as she replied, Were just chatting. Number 1357 nodded hurriedly. Yeah. He Xiang said, Oh. She felt that Lin Shanchu and her uncle had been acting a little strange recently. They often stayed all night or woke up early in the morning. She had a feeling that they were plotting something. However, with Lin Shanchus personality, even if she wanted to plot something, she would not do it secretly. Instead, she would do it openly. What are you looking at? He Xiang noticed theptop on the coffee table. Number 1357 hurriedly closed theptop and replied, I borrowed it. Ill return itter. He Xiang looked at the dark sky outside. Huh? Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and said, Missy, why are you so talkative? Go back to sleep. He Xiang went back to her room with a confused look on her face. Lin Shanchu urged Number 1357. Make a copy of the video. After copying the video, Number 1357 sent a copy to Lin Shanchus phone. The previously erased evidence rted to Lu Shiyuan had cast a shadow over Lin Shanchus heart. After receiving the video, Lin Shanchu asked Number 1357 with a grave expression, Whats Tang Qidais character in the initial plot? Did she have an aura? Theres no such an unreasonable character in the initial plot. Oh. Lin Shanchu was barely relieved, but still she felt a little insecure. Hence, she backed up many copies of the video and sent one copy to Huo Xunzhou. It was already past five in the morning. As soon as she sent it, her phone vibrated. Huo Xunzhou: [You didnt sleep, or did you just wake up?] To her surprise, Huo Xunzhou sent her a message! Lin Shanchu: [I didnt sleep. How about you?] Huo Xunzhou: [I just woke up.] Just as Lin Shanchu was about to continue typing, Huo Xunzhou called her. She picked up the phone. Before she could say a word, Huo Xunzhou threw a series of questions at her in a deep voice. What did you do? Where did you get the video? You met Lu Shiyuan again? She was too careless. Huo Xunzhou was so smart that he naturally thought of all these spections when he saw the video. Lin Shanchu wondered if she should just pretend to hang up the phone due to the bad signal. If you hang up now, Ille over right away, Huo Xunzhou said as if he could guess what she was thinking. Lin Shanchu could hear the rustling sound of changing clothesing from the other end of the phone. Huo Xunzhou always meant what he said. She knew that if she hung up the phone, he would rush over immediately. However, Huo Xunzhou would certainly rush over right away if she told him the truth. However, she had no choice but to say it. Lin Shanchu stammered, I went to the neighbors house to get something. Huo Xunzhou asked, Which neighbor? What did you take? Lin Shanchus voice gradually became softer as she spoke, To get the video from the opposite neighbor. Huo Xunzhou fell silent for a moment before he spoke, Got it. You should go to sleep first. Oh. Just like that? Lin Shanchu did not hang up the phone immediately. Instead, she waited for a while to make sure that Huo Xunzhou did not want her to hang up. She was still thinking about this event when she went back to her room to sleep. Huo Xunzhous reaction was so calm that she was a little scared. She had a feeling that he would definitely teach her a lesson when he came overter. Whatever. She should sleep for now. Lin Shanchu slept soundly. The curtains in the room were very effective in blocking out the light. When she woke up, the room was still dark, but she could feel that it was already daytime outside. What time is it? she mumbled as she reached for her phone. As soon as she got her phone, a mans deep and maic voice sounded in the room. 9:00 a.m. Lin Shanchu was stunned. The next moment, the bedsidemp suddenly lit up. Lin Shanchu quickly got used to the dim light and looked in the direction of the bedsidemp, only to find Huo Xunzhou sitting on the armchair next to her. Youre here. Lin Shanchus eyes were filled with joy. Then, she lifted the nket and climbed to the bed to look at him. Why didnt you call me when you came? Huo Xunzhou got up and walked to the bed before pulling the nket over her. I didnt wake you up when I saw you were sleeping soundly. At first, he was here to question her. However, when he saw that she was sleeping so soundly and obediently, the anger that he had umted along the way disappeared in an instant. No matter what, it was fine as long as she was alright. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and leaned into his arms before she asked softly, Its a long way from the Huo familys old mansion, isnt it? Its really hard for you to drive so far so early in the morning She sounded as if she was very worried about him. Im not angry anymore, Huo Xunzhou said coldly as he looked down at her. Lin Shanchu pushed him away and sat up straight before sheined, Oh, why didnt you say so earlier? Huo Xunzhou was speechless. He regretted telling her the truth. If he had known earlier, he would have pretended to be angry to scare her. You havent had breakfast, have you? He Xiang must have already prepared breakfast. Come, lets have breakfast. Lin Shanchu lifted the nket and got out of bed. After that, she put on a jacket and pulled Huo Xunzhou out. He Xiang and Number 1357 were in the living room. He Xiang was squatting on the sofa and looking at her phone while Number 1357 was watching the Sweet Pet Theater. Sister Lin, youre awake He Xiang stood up and nodded at Huo Xunzhou. Teacher Huo. She put down her phone and walked quickly into the dining room. Ill go heat up breakfast for you guys. He Xiang left after heating up breakfast, leaving Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou to have breakfast in the dining room. Huo Xunzhou peeled a hard-boiled egg and handed it to Lin Shanchu. I found Lu Shiyuan. Ill have someone keep an eye on him now. Lin Shanchu took the egg and took a bite. Where did he go? He went to the Cheng family, Huo Xunzhou said thoughtfully. Lin Shanchu took a sip of milk and swallowed the food in her mouth. Then, she asked with a smile, He went to meet Tang Qidai? Huo Xunzhou acquiesced without a word. Lu Shiyuan used to live a luxurious life, but now he was living a miserable life. Now that he was down and out, he did not want to swallow his pride to do hard work, so he could only keep ckmailing Tang Qidai. He even went out to the Cheng familys house in the middle of the night to wait for Tang Qidai so that he could ask her for money once he met her. However, he still had the system with him, so Lin Shanchu could noty a hand on him for now. Sending Tang Qidai to jail first would not only settle the ounts, but it would also cut off Lu Shiyuans source of ie. It was killing two birds with one stone. Huo Xunzhou suddenly said, The date of the Cheng familys engagement party has been set. Chapter 427 - 427:Who Else in Capital City Can Harm Me? Chapter 427 - 427:Who Else in Capital City Can Harm Me? Trantor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchus eyes instantly brightened with excitement. When is it? Next Friday, December 26th. Huo Xunzhou put down the chopsticks and silently stared at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu blinked innocently and said, Lets go together. Alright. Huo Xunzhou knew her purpose of attending Tang Qidais engagement party. However, the two of them had a tacit understanding and neither of them said it out loud. There were many events at the end of the year. Lin Shanchu was busy rushing around for events for the next few days. She met Huo Chaosheng, whom she had not seen for a long time, at a brands year-end celebration. Huo Chaosheng was dressed in a tailor-made suit and stood there elegantly, looking like a rich and noble young master. Lin Shanchu waved at him through the crowd. Huo Chaosheng! The scene was crowded and noisy. Huo Chaosheng raised his head and looked around before he found Lin Shanchu. When he saw Lin Shanchu, he was no longer excited as before and only smiled lightly at her. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at him suspiciously. Then, she averted her gaze and continued with her work. When she returned backstage after the brand event ended, she sent Huo Xunzhou a WeChat message to mention this matter. Lin Shanchu: [Did something happen to Huo Chaosheng recently?] Huo Xunzhou: [No.] Lin Shanchu: [But he didnt look like he was in good spirits.] Huo Xunzhou: [Maybe hes too busy at the end of the year.] When Lin Shanchu was filming at the film set for the past few months, Huo Chaosheng probably felt bored and took on a lot of work. He was originally a famous member from a top-notch international boy band with great topicality, job opportunities and audience appeal. If he wanted to take on a job, all the project and brand owners would scramble to send him invitations. It was normal for Huo Chaosheng to be too busy. That was the logic, but still Lin Shanchu vaguely felt that something was wrong. Huo Xunzhou was also busy at the end of the year, so he went to the meeting after chatting with her for a while. Shanshan, its time to head for the next event, said Number 1357 as he walked towards her after packing the things. Number 1357 was thick-skinned. Lin Shanchu did not want to bring him along when she went out, so he shamelessly got into the car and stole a lot of He Xiangs work. As a result, He Xiang could only be Lin Shanchus chauffeur and carry her bags, doing some easy work that made her feel guilty even when she received her sry. He Xiang looked at Number 1357 with a little resentment and said, Sister Lin, lets go. As soon as the three of them left the entrance, they met Huo Chaosheng, who was walking over from the other end. Huo Chaosheng was followed by a group of imposing-looking people,prising bodyguards and assistants. Huo Xunzhou also arranged bodyguards for Lin Shanchu. She saw that there were security guards at the entrance and there were many people at the scene, so she did not let the bodyguards follow her. Huo Chaosheng was wearing sunsses while he was being surrounded by a group of people. Lin Shanchu could not see his expression clearly, so she stood there and waited for him toe over. They were once partners in crime after all, so she should be concerned about his recent situation. After Huo Chaosheng came closer, he took off his sunsses and looked at her with droopy eyes. Why are you standing here? Waiting for you. Lin Shanchus voice rose slightly in a light tone. Huo Chaoshengs face showed a ttered expression that was familiar to Lin Shanchu. He asked with a smile, You have business with me? I havent seen you for a long time, so Im just concerned about you, Lin Shanchu said as she slowly walked out. Huo Chaosheng took smaller steps than before and amodated Lin Shanchus speed, walking side by side with her. You werent so kind in the past. He sounded like he wasining about her, but there was no hint of resentment in his tone. Instead, there was a hint of a smile. Thats because you used to look normal, unlike now Lin Shanchu weighed her words before she turned to look at him and said, Youre much thinner than before. You even noticed this? Huo Chaosheng had a rare look of surprise on his face. Lin Shanchu tugged at his empty-looking sleeve and said disdainfully, Its easy to notice it. Huo Chaosheng had always been strict about his body shape, so he was already thin enough. If he were to slim down a little more, it would be abnormally obvious. Huo Chaosheng unconvincingly retorted, Youre a bit fatter, arent you? Lin Shanchu stared at him expressionlessly. Huo Chaoshengs smile deepened as heughed happily. Youve been going to the gym often in the past few months, havent you? Your arms are toned. Lin Shanchu was wearing a strapless gown. Her slender and strong arms with beautiful muscle tone were exposed, revealing the light traces of training. Did something happen to you? Lin Shanchu did not change the topic because of his interruption. Huo Chaosheng paused and shook his head with a smile. What could have happened to me? Who else in Capital City can harm me? Oh, Lin Shanchu said, feeling that what he said made sense. Besides, when others mention me, they have to call me Young Master Huo. Who wouldnt show respect to Young Master Huo? Lin Shanchu could hear a hint of self-mockery in his tone. However, before she had time to carefully distinguish them, the two of them had already walked to the gate. They were going to attend different eventster. Before she got into the car, Huo Chaosheng suddenly called out to her, Lin Shanchu! Lin Shanchu turned around and saw that Huo Chaosheng had removed his usual fake smile in front of outsiders, showing a serious and gloomy expression. Whats the matter? Lin Shanchu stared at him for two seconds. How about we dine together after youre done? Huo Chaoshengs expression was unprecedentedly serious. Alright. Lin Shanchu guessed that he had something important to tell her. Huo Chaosheng waved at her and urged her. Get in the car. After Lin Shanchu got into the car, she noticed that Number 1357 kept looking back at Huo Chaosheng. Number 1357 turned around and met Lin Shanchus scrutinizing gaze. Then, he said softly, I think you and Huo Chaosheng look like a couple. She was confused. Was this system out of its mind? Lin Shanchu frowned as she asked, How do robots like you fix a broken brain? Call for an engineer? First of all, Im not a robot. Our system is different from a robot. Secondly, my brain is not broken. After Number 1357 finished exining seriously, Lin Shanchu looked at him like he was an idiot. Then, he finally responded. Are you calling me sick? Lin Shanchu gave him a look to let him experience it for himself. Number 1357 was bereft of speech. He Xiang noticed that Lin Shanchu and Number 1357 had been whispering to each other, but she did not clearly hear the content of the conversation. Now that the two of them had finally quieted down, she said to Lin Shanchu, Sister Lin, theres still half an hour before we arrive. You should rest for a while. Alright. Lin Shanchu was busy until the day before December 26th. In order to settle the score with Tang Qidai at the Cheng familys engagement party, she had to free up December 26th in advance. Chapter 428 - 428: After Shanshan Knows About This, She Will Feel Even More Sorry For M Chapter 428 - 428: After Shanshan Knows About This, She Will Feel Even More Sorry For M Trantor:EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor:EndlessFantasy Trantion When Lin Shanchu finished work that night, Huo Xunzhou drove over to pick her up. The moment she came out, she saw Huo Xunzhou standing in front of the car. In the cold winter, Huo Xunzhou was wearing a tweed coat and a woolen scarf and standing tall under the light, looking very handsome. Huo Xunzhou had contacted her in advance beforeing over. She knew that Huo Xunzhou wasing to pick her up, so she ran out as soon as the event ended. He Xiang even chased after her to put on her down jacket. He Xiang was chasing after her to help her zip up her down jacket. Sister Lin, the zipper of the down jacket isnt She saw Lin Shanchu suddenly run in a certain direction and realized that it was Huo Xunzhou. Now that Huo Xunzhou was here, she did not have to do anything. Naturally, someone would take care of the zipper on Lin Shanchus down jacket. Just as this thought popped up in He Xiangs mind, she saw Huo Xunzhou catch Lin Shanchu, who had thrown herself into his arms. Then, he lowered his head and zipped up her down jacket while saying something with an unhappy expression. They were quite a distance away, so He Xiang could not hear what Huo Xunzhou said. She guessed that he must be reprimanding Lin Shanchu. It was because Lin Shanchu looked a little indignant. She had been by Lin Shanchus side for a long time and could already see the pattern. Huo Xunzhou reprimanded Lin Shanchu ording to the situation. If Lin Shanchu was in the wrong, she would obediently listen to the scolding and pretend to be obedient to quell Huo Xunzhous anger so that he would not be able to continue scolding her. If Lin Shanchu was not in the wrong, she would be indignant and go against Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu had to wear a formal dress to attend events. He Xiang was afraid that she would be cold, so she brought a thick and warm down jacket that reached her ankles. Looking down at Huo Xunzhou, who was squatting in front of her and zipping her jacket, she pouted and retorted, Im not cold. Huo Xunzhou stood up and zipped her up. He reached behind her head and gently pulled out her hair from her down jacket. After doing the series of actions, he looked up at her with his beautiful charming eyes and said, The lowest temperature today is -10 degree Celsius. If ones tone could be measured by temperature, Lin Shanchu felt that his tone earlier was also -10 degree Celsius. I know! Lin Shanchu snorted, still not convinced. The -10 degree Celsius in Capital City was worlds apart from the-10 degrees Celsius in Xu City. She did not feel that cold at all. She did not know why Huo Xunzhou was so nervous. He had been in Xu City before. Huo Xunzhou opened the car door to the passenger seat and shoved her in. The next second, Lin Shanchu looked in the direction of Number 1357 and said, Hurry up ande over. Donte over, Huo Xunzhou said as soon as Number 1357 lifted his foot. Speechless, Number 1357 paused and walked over. He only listened to his daughter. After all, she was his biological daughter, and he only had one daughter. However, there could be many sons-inw. As long as the daughter was not satisfied, they could be reced. Shanshan, tell him not toe over, Huo Xunzhou said to Lin Shanchu with aplicated tone after a moment of silence. Lin Shanchu asked hesitantly, Is it really okay not to bring him along? Huo Xunzhou said firmly, Its okay. Number 1357 was already behind Huo Xunzhou. As a sweet novel system, shipping a couple was his lifes work. No one could stop him from shipping a couple. He quietly approached Huo Xunzhou and lowered his voice. If you dont let mee with you guys, Ill tell my daughter that youre being punished for resisting the plot restrictions. Huo Xunzhou turned around and looked at Number 1357 with some confusion. When he understood that who was his daughter, he abruptly smiled. Whatever. After Shanshan finds out about this, she will feel more sorry for me. Number 1357 looked at Huo Xunzhou in disbelief. Why would the daughter like such a sinister man? Leaning against the window, Lin Shanchu poked her head out and asked, What are you two talking about? Huo Xunzhou turned around and said gently, He said hes not going. Lin Shanchu raised her voice and asked Number 1357, Really? Number 1357 said indignantly, Ill drive and follow you. Huo Xunzhou had no objections to this reply. It was fine as long as he did not disturb their private moment in the car. When Huo Xunzhou got into the car and drove away, Number 1357 followed behind them in a car. Lin Shanchu looked back andughed. Number 1357 is quite stubborn. Huo Xunzhou replied, Just like you. He remembered that Number 1357 called Lin Shanchu his daughter behind her back. He wondered if Lin Shanchu knew about this. When Huo Xunzhou was waiting for Lin Shanchu outside just now, he turned on the heater in the car. After he locked the window, the car was as warm as spring. Lin Shanchu leaned against the seat as if she was spineless and saidzily, Why did you have to wait for me outside even though the heater was on in the car? Huo Xunzhou asked with a smile, Didnt you want to see me as soon as you came out? Lin Shanchu heard his words and turned half her body towards him. Brother Xunzhou, youre so full of sweet-talks now. Brother Xunzhou only speaks from his heart. The smile in Huo Xunzhous voice deepened. Number 1357, who was in the car behind, could vaguely feel Lin Shanchus emotional fluctuations and was extremely anxious. What did the man do in the car to make his daughter so agitated? Could it be that they were secretly kissing while waiting for the traffic lights? Oh gosh! He was actually absent for such a sweet scene! The more Number 1357 thought about it, the more depressed he became. It was gettingte, so Huo Xunzhou drove Lin Shanchu to a dress shop to choose a gown for tomorrows engagement party. They could not spare time to go out for dinner, so he ordered a meal in advance. When it was time for dinner, Lin Shanchu called Number 1357 and He Xiang to dine together. It was freezing outside, so there was really no need for them to wait outside. He Xiang was her assistant and they were close. As for Number 1357 He knew all her secrets, so he could be considered a close person. After dinner, someone came over to guide them to pick out the gowns. Another staff member walked up to Huo Xunzhou and asked respectfully, Mr. Huo, do you want to go to the lounge for tea? They had seen many men apanying women to pick out gowns, but most of the men found it troublesome to pick out gowns and would stay in the lounge to drink tea, so they thought Huo Xunzhou was the same. No need. Huo Xunzhou rejected the staff members suggestion. Then, he stood up and reached out to Lin Shanchu, holding her hand as they went to choose a gown. The staff member looked surprised, but then he nodded with a smile and said, Mr. Huo, feel free to order us if you need anything. Huo Xunzhou had arranged everything before he came and even asked them to send him the gown designs. He picked out a few designs that Lin Shanchu might like. Both He Xiang and Number 1357 were supporters who were biased in favour of Lin Shanchu. No matter which gown Lin Shanchu changed into, both of their eyes would light up and say that it was very beautiful, nice and suitable. Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and asked, How about this one? Huo Xunzhou looked her up carefully before he replied, Mmm, very nice. What was the difference between this answer and the other two? It was just an additional process of sizing her up. Chapter 429 - 429: A Sign That Its Number Was Up Chapter 429: A Sign That Its Number Was Up Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Is that one nice? Lin Shanchu asked Huo Xunzhou with mixed feelings as she pointed at the other gown she had tried on earlier. Huo Xunzhou replied, It looks good too. Lin Shanchu was speechless. As expected, she could not count on them to choose a gown. Lin Shanchu sighed and turned around to change into another one. Huo Xunzhou frowned innocently. He felt that she looked good in every gown. When Lin Shanchu came out after choosing her gown, she saw Number 1357 eagerly looking at her. Although he did not say anything, Lin Shanchu instantly understood what he meant. He also wanted to attend the Cheng familys engagement party tomorrow. Lin Shanchu thought for a while. He had yed a part in getting the evidence from Lu Shiyuans house, so she decided to pick a suit for him and bring him along to the party. Just as she was about to call the staff over to ask about the mens suit, she felt Huo Xunzhou looking at her from the sidelines. Lin Shanchu took small steps to Huo Xunzhous side and held his hand coquettishly. She asked tentatively, Shall we bring Number 1357 along tomorrow? Why? Huo Xunzhous expression remained unchanged as he looked down at her. Lin Shanchu shook his hand and said softly, Its all thanks to him that I was able to get the video from Lu Shiyuans house Its up to you. Huo Xunzhou did not really want to bring Number 1357 along, but he could not reject Lin Shanchu, so he could only put on an awkward face. Brother Xunzhou is the best! Lin Shanchu smiled and tiptoed to give him a peck on the cheek. After kissing him, she let go of his hand and brought Number 1357 to pick out a suit. There were not many styles for mens suits as they all looked the same at first nce. After looking around, Lin Shanchu could not tell which set was special. She pointed at one set and asked Number 1357, What do you think of this one? Number 1357 nodded hurriedly and replied, It looks good! Lin Shanchu paused and looked thoughtfully at Number 1357 for a few seconds. Then, she pointed at the set beside him and asked, What about this set? As she expected, Number 1357 nodded his head vigorously and replied, It looks good! Lin Shanchu figured out that Number 1357 would most likely say that it looked good no matter which suit she picked. She could not tell the difference anyway, so she simply chose a more expensive set. Number 1357 carried the packed suit and smiled happily. Huo Xunzhou was waiting for them in the lounge area. Then, Lin Shanchu jogged over and said, Its all done. Lets go. Huo Xunzhou looked intently at her and sat there without moving. Just as Lin Shanchu felt puzzled, a staff member whispered to her, Miss Lin, Mr. Huos suit hasnt been ordered yet. Lin Shanchu was speechless. No wonder Huo Xunzhou was looking at her like that. You havent chosen your suit yet? Lin Shanchu sat down beside him, feeling a little guilty. Huo Xunzhou sighed fussily and said magnanimously, Its okay. I can choose it by myself. Lin Shanchu felt even more guilty and replied, Ill apany you Number 1357 hugged the packed suit and stood there looking at the backs of the two people. Then, he sighed faintly. Why would my daughter like this kind of pretentious man? His voice was so soft that He Xiang, who was beside him, only heard thetter half of the sentence clearly. She agreed with him. I also think that Teacher Huo is kinda pretentious When they got home that night, Number 1357 asked Lin Shanchu about her ns for the next day. You dont have to worry about this. Brother Xunzhou will arrange it. With Huo Xunzhou around, she did not need to worry about something like this at all. Number 1357 said softly, I can arrange that sort of thing for you if you need it. That pretentious man made him feel like he was useless. Lin Shanchu patted his shoulder and said, Ill let you know when I need your help. Rest early. Number 1357 fell silent for two seconds before he said, Good night. Lin Shanchu turned around and walked back to her room, waving at him with her back facing him. Number 1357 watched as Lin Shanchus back disappeared from the rooms door. He suddenly realized that his daughter really liked that pretentious guy. Moreover, the pretentious guy was very reliable and treated his daughter well. From the looks of it, the pretentious guy, Huo Xunzhou, should be the male lead. Strangely enough, he could clearly feel that Number 2580s signal had weakened recently. It was obviously a sign that its number was up, but he still could not fully read the initial plot. Did he miss something? Or did something go wrong, but he still had not discovered it? The next day, Huo Xunzhou drove over to pick Lin Shanchu up. Lin Shanchu and Number 1357 came out together. Huo Xunzhou stood in front of the car and nced at Number 1357 without a word. Number 1357 consciously opened the car door to the drivers seat and got in, urately positioning himself as the driver. Lin Shanchu curled her lips slightly upon noticing him. Huo Xunzhou opened the door to the rear seat and got in with her. The Cheng familys engagement party was held at Boya Hotel. When they arrived at Boya Hotel, there were already many cars parked at the entrance. They got out of the car and handed the keys to the parking attendant. The Cheng family was prestigious in Capital City. Although the Cheng family did not hold an extravagant engagement party this time, many guest were present. Many guests gathered and crowded the entrance of Boya Hotel. Huo Xunzhou protected Lin Shanchu outside while they were led inside by a waiter. Shanshan, Zhouzhou! Lin Shanchu heard Yun Jins voice. She looked up at Huo Xunzhou and said, Its Yun Jins voice. Huo Xunzhou nodded to show that he heard Yun Jin too. Then, he looked up and looked around. Soon, he found the Yun familys group not far away. He pointed to the direction and told Lin Shanchu, Theyre up ahead. Lin Shanchu looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Yun Jin waving at them with all his might, as if he was afraid that they would not notice him. The way he waved his hand was too exaggerated, like a fool. She asked Huo Xunzhou from the bottom of her heart, Yun Jin likes nobody in the entire upper-ss circle of Capital City, right? No one for now. Huo Xunzhou was amused by her words. As the two of them talked, they unknowingly walked up the Yun family. What are you guys talking about so happily? Tell me about it. Yun Jin came over curiously. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and shook her head, trying not tough. Its nothing. Yun Jin frowned in confusion and turned to Huo Xunzhou before he said, Zhouzhou, tell me. Are you sure you want to know about it? Huo Xunzhou asked with an undisguised smile. Yun Jin was extremely curious and urged. Tell me! Suppressing his smile, Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly and said seriously, Im not telling you. Are you kidding me? Yun Jin was furious. Yes, I am. Huo Xunzhou casually raised his hand, revealing the wristwatch that Lin Shanchu had given him. Where did you get this wristwatch? Yun Jins attention was indeed attracted by the wristwatch on his wrist. Huo Xunzhou replied with a smile, My Shanshan gave it to me. Yun Jin was speechless. Was there a need to hold a grudge for so long? Chapter 430 - 430 – A Trump Card Chapter 430 C A Trump Card Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Yi was quietly watching Huo Xunzhou teasing Yun Jin next to him at first. When he saw Huo Xunzhous wristwatch, he smiled and said, Shanshan has good taste. Lin Shanchu had always liked the elder brother, Yun Yi. Hearing him praise her for having good taste, her eyes lit up. Do you like it, Big Brother? Ill buy one for you too. How can I ask you to spend money on this expensive item? Yun Yi asked gently as she nced at Huo Xunzhou. Its indeed quite expensive, Huo Xunzhou said as he pulled his sleeve to cover his wristwatch. Lin Shanchu quickly shook her head and said, Its not expensive. Im now the endorser for this brand. Im going to promote it anyway, so they might just give it to me directly. If thats the case, then it would be impolite of me to refuse it, Yun Yi said with a smile. Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips tightly with mixed feelings. If he had known earlier, he would not have shown off the wristwatch. Great, everyone had one wristwatch. Lin Shanchu was looking for Yun Wu with her head tilted and did not notice the change in Huo Xunzhous expression, so he could only sulk. Lin Shanchu searched for a long time but did not see Yun Wu. Wheres Yun Wu? Yun Jin answered her, Shes busy attending an event. Lin Shanchu was a little disappointed as she replied, Oh. Lets go in, Yun Yi said after checking the time. Lin Shanchu reached out to grab Huo Xunzhous arm, only to realize that there was something wrong with his expression. You Lets go. Huo Xunzhou patted her hand and interrupted her with a smile. Although he was a little jealous that she gave wristwatches to other people, they were all his family. It also proved that she liked his family very much and was gradually integrating into this family. At the entrance of the banquet hall, Lin Shanchu saw Cheng Fanjing, who was helping to receive the guests. There were too many guests in the Cheng family. It was impossible for the patriarch to receive them one by one. He would only receive acquaintance with status like Patriarch Yun. On the other hand, Cheng Fanjing was helping to receive the young heirs and heiresses. When Cheng Fanjing saw Lin Shanchu, her expression froze for a moment, but she quickly regained herposure. Mr. Huo, Ms. Lin, wee. She had a decent smile on her face and did not look anything out of the ordinary. In order to avoid gossip outside, she had not gone out much recently. She also thought about it carefully. She was indeed the one who provoked Lin Shanchu first, and she was also the one who first looked down on Huo Xunzhou. At the end of the day, she had brought this upon herself. Thew of survival in the upper-ss circle was thew of the jungle. Although she could not beat Lin Shanchu, the Cheng family was still influential in Capital City. As soon as she was the daughter of the Cheng family, countless people would rush to curry favor with her. Therefore, losing to Lin Shanchu would not affect her life. Lin Shanchu shot Cheng Fanjing an interested nce and said, Miss Cheng, your hairstyle is really beautiful today. Thank you. Cheng Fanjing was taken aback. Youre wee, Lin Shanchu said gently with a smile. Cheng Fanjing changed quite a bit after they did not meet each other for a while. She seemed much calmer and no longer looked impetuous. Her identity as the daughter of the Cheng family was a trump card. If she fought properly, there was nothing that Tang Qidai could do. Soon, Cheng Fanjing would thank her even more. Cheng Fanjings gaze was still on Lin Shanchu when she entered the banquet hall with Huo Xunzhou. What kind of person was Lin Shanchu? The banquet hall was overcrowded. Naturally, the Cheng family would not neglect the Yun and Huo families. When Lin Shanchu and the others entered the banquet, Patriarch Cheng personally instructed someone to lead them to sit at the front row seats. After Lin Shanchu sat down, she realized that Number 1357 had disappeared. She raised her head and looked around for a while, but she could not find Number 1357 until her phone vibrated. Uncle: [Im at the second table in the eighth row behind you.] Lin Shanchu had not changed the caller ID for Number 1357, so the WeChat caller ID still showed the word Uncle. Lin Shanchu looked around, but there were too many people. She could not even see the second table in the eighth row. She stood up and vaguely saw Number 1357s figure through the crowd. Lin Shanchu: [I see you.] Number 1357 sent her a smiling emoji. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to sit down, she saw Ming Yao chatting with someone in the crowd. Ming Yao turned her head inadvertently and saw her. Then, she smiled and waved at her. Ming Yao was so far away that it was hard to hear her words clearly, so Lin Shanchu waved at her, gesturing for her toe over. Ming Yao narrowed her eyes, seemingly hesitating. Then, Lin Shanchu took out her phone and sent her a WeChat message. Lin Shanchu: [Big Brother is here too.] Ming Yao took out her phone to read the message before she looked up at her and made an OK gesture. Lin Shanchu nced at Yun Yi as she sat down. Huo Xunzhou had been whispering to Yun Yi, but he had been paying attention to Lin Shanchus movements. What bad deed did you do? Hmm? He leaned over and lowered his voice, sounding especially sexy and pleasant. I didnt do anything, Lin Shanchu said as she rubbed her numb ears. At this moment, Ming Yaos voice sounded above her head. Everyone is here. Huo Xunzhou looked meaningfully at Lin Shanchu, as if he had seen through her. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Ming Yao and replied calmly, What a coincidence. Ming Yao, youre here too. Yeah, what a coincidence, Ming Yao said calmly. Yun Jin, who had been sitting next to Yun Yi, suddenly stood up and moved to the seat next to him. Sister Ming, hurry up ande here. Theres an empty seat here. Thank you. Ming Yao did not stand on ceremony and sat down beside Yun Yi. Yun Yis expression became uneasy and tense. Lin Shanchu stared at him for a while, but she could not guess what he was thinking, so she turned to look at Ming Yao. Ming Yao turned her body slightly and spoke to Yun Jin on the other side. She subconsciously leaned toward Yun Yi, but Yun Yi did not avoid her. Lin Shanchu could not understand what was going on, but she felt that it was quite interesting to see the two of them entangled together. As Ming Yao spoke, she suddenly turned around and adjusted Yun Yis tie. Your tie is crooked. Lin Shanchu was watching them with great interest. Huo Xunzhou smiled and turned her head in his direction. How dare you watch the drama between Big Brother and her? Big brother has a good temper, he wont mind it. Lin Shanchu wanted to turn her head again, but Huo Xunzhou held her head down and stopped her from moving. Its about to start. Stop moving around. As soon as he finished speaking, Patriarch Chengs voice came from the microphone. Everyone, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my daughter Cheng Qidais engagement party. I, Cheng Zhijin, hereby thank you foring Lin Shanchu turned to look at the stage. Patriarch Cheng stood on the stage with Tang Qidai supporting him. Tang Qidai was wearing an exquisite floor-length gown with beautiful makeup and a proud look. She really had the confidence of a socialite from an aristocratic family. Chapter 431 - 431: Congratulations Chapter 431: Congrattions Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai had known each other since they were young, so she knew better than anyone else that this glorious moment was Tang Qidais lifelong goal. Unfortunately, this would be thest glorious moment of Tang Qidais life. Tang Qidai noticed Lin Shanchus focused gaze. Tang Qidai turned to look at Lin Shanchu. As Lin Shanchu smiled at her, the calm expression on her face instantly froze. However, she quickly controlled her expression. Then, she raised her chin gracefully and turned her head, pretending not to see Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu knew that Tang Qidai was only pretending to be calm on the surface, but in reality, she was panicking internally. After all, she had a guilty conscience. Tang Qidai was very satisfied with her current life. Hence, she was afraid that it would be ruined because she was too satisfied with it. On the other hand, Lin Shanchu was the one with the destructive power. That was why she was so arrogant when she saw Lin Shanchu. After Patriarch Cheng finished his brief speech, he announced the start of the engagement party. After a simple ceremony, the banquet began. sue mnevv wet Lel Llldll ctllyune ense L11dL LIAIS blU11uus 1110111e11L VVdS S lifelong goal.

On the other hand, Lin Shanchu was the one with the destructive power. That was why she was so arrogant when she saw Lin Shanchu. After Patriarch Cheng finished his brief speech, he announced the start of the engagement party. After a simple ceremony, the banquet began. Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci, as the main characters of the day, naturally had to toast the guests in each table. Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci grimaced when they came to Lin Shanchus table. They grimaced because of the same personLin Shanchu. Tang Qidai was once defeated by Lin Shanchu, and thetter knew everything about her past. Lin Shanchu was like a time bomb that could blow up her hard-earned life to smithereens one day. Her intuition told her that Lin Shanchus appearance at her engagement party was a sign. Zhai Ci previously harassed Lin Shanchu at the clubhouse and was beaten up by Huo Xunzhou. Now that he saw Lin Shanchu sitting next to Huo Xunzhou and his nonchnt face, he felt extremely guilty. Mr. Yun, thank you foring to our engagement party. Well toast you. Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci deliberately avoided Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu and chose Yun Yi, who seemed to be more respectful. Yun Yi did show them respect. He smiled faintly and raised his wine ss. However, he did not drink the wine after he raised the ss to toast the two of them. Instead, he just put it back. The intention was clear. These two people were still unworthy of drinking with him. Patriarch Cheng liked Tang Qidai very much now, but she was just an illegitimate daughter in the end. Everyone knew what had happened in the past. Zhai Ci was just a second-generation heir with little authority. Patriarch Cheng had reigned the business world for half his life, so he was not really muddle-headed after being coaxed by Tang Qidai. In fact, Patriarch Cheng knew Tang Qidais situation better than anyone else. He had chosen a second-generation heir like Zhai Ci to be Tang Qidais fianc was because he was not very smart and she could easily manipte him. It was considered a littlepensation for Tang Qidai. Yun Yis actions were so straightforward that Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci naturally understood him. Their expressions changed slightly, but they did not dare to say anything. Yun Yi was not someone they could easily offend. Next, they toasted to Ming Yao beside Yun Yi. Miss Ming, well toast you Ming Yao smiled, but her next move was exactly the same as Yun Yis. The Ming family could not be offended either. Tang Qidai and Zhai Cis smiles were almost gone. Then, they toasted to Yun Jin. Without waiting for them to speak, Yun Jin said, I dont drink, so you guys can toast Zhouzhou. He pointed at Huo Xunzhou with his chin. Zhai Ci could no longer smile and his hand holding the wine ss trembled slightly. When he turned to look at Huo Xunzhou, he lowered his head and dared not look up at him. Tang Qidai was furious at Zhai Cis cowardice, but she could only suppress her anger. She now understood that no one at this table would toast them, so she simply stopped doing useless work. Everyone, thank you foring to our engagement party. Tang Qidai raised her ss of wine and was about to finish it in one gulp with her head raised. Wait a minute. Everyones eyes fell on Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu raised her ss and lightly clinked sses with Tang Qidai, producing a clear sound. Congrattions. Lin Shanchu smiled with her eyes as she raised her ss and drank it in one gulp. Drink up quickly, she urged when she realized Tang Qidai was still staring at her nkly. Tang Qidai had no choice but to drink under everyones watchful eyes. However, Lin Shanchus abnormal attitude made her feel extremely uneasy. What was Lin Shanchu doing here today? Lets go to the next table. Zhai Ci noticed Tang Qidais unusual behavior and dragged her away forcefully. After the two of them turned around, Zhai Ci frowned and asked her, Whats wrong? Lin Shanchu only toasted you, what were you panicking for? Tang Qidai looked dumbfounded and did not listen to him at all. Zhai Ci, hurry up and think of a way to get Lin Shanchu out of here. Otherwise, something terrible will happen. After Lin Shanchu called her Daidai with a gentle smilest time, she was sent to jail. It was definitely not simple either this time! She could not let Lin Shanchu destroy her hard-earned peaceful life. Zhai Ci did not take her seriously and replied, Shes just a woman. What terrible thing could have happened? Just dont go to Huo Xunzhou. When Huo Xunzhou kicked him outst time, his ribs were almost broken and he had to lie in bed in pain for several days. He panicked whenever he saw Huo Xunzhou. Zhai Ci, please believe me Tang Qidai begged him in a panic. She could feel that Zhai Ci liked her now, so she could only ask him for the favor. Huo Xunzhou is sitting right next to her. How am I supposed to get rid of her? Zhai Ci flung her hand away impatiently and continued, Its not like I have a death wish. Huo Xunzhous kick had really traumatized him, and he dared not provoke Lin Shanchu anymore. After saying that, Zhai Ci looked at Tang Qidais pitiful face and felt that he had been too harsh. He quicklyforted her. Dont overthink it. Today is a good day for our engagement. Cheer up. Many guests are still waiting for us to toast them. Zhai Ci Behave yourself and stop fooling around. Zhai Ci did not bother to listen to her anymore, so he directly pulled her to the next table. Tang Qidai trembled with fear as she followed Zhai Ci to toast the guests. When she was almost done toasting the guests, her heart gradually calmed down. The engagement party was almost over, but it was still so peaceful. Perhaps Lin Shanchu simply followed Huo Xunzhou to the engagement party. After toasting the guests, Zhai Ci put his arm around her shoulder and walked back. The engagement party is almost over. Nothing happened, right? Youre overthinking it. Later Swish! The originally bright banquet hall suddenly darkened. The lights in the hall went out in an instant, and the crowd was in chaos. Whats going on? Why is the projection screen on the stage being lowered? Chapter 432 - 432: All The Lights in the Venue went Out in an Instant Chapter 432: All The Lights in the Venue went Out in an Instant Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The banquet hall was equipped with projection equipment, but the engagement ceremony was simple. It had not been turned on or used since the beginning. At this moment, all the lights in the venue went out in an instant. The projector suddenly lit up and the projection screen was lowered. Everyone vaguely understood that someone was going to cause trouble. On the surface, Patriarch Cheng hosted todays engagement party. To put it bluntly, it was more like another form of social gathering. Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci were not the main characters. Everyone began to whisper among themselves. Whats going on? Lin Shanchu heard Patriarch Chengs voice not far away. The hotel staff rushed over to report the situation. The scene became more and more chaotic. At this moment, a projection appeared on the projection screen, apanied by sound. Yesterday, the president of Lu Corporation apanied Tang Qidai to a dinner party. The atmosphere between the two of them was as intimate as a couple Lu Shiyuan invested a lot of money in Tang Qidais new drama ording to the online rumor, Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai were about to get married The projected video showed what happened between Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan in Xu City. At that time, Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai had yet to fall out with each other. The two of them often attended public events in a high-profile manner and ignored the media reports. Now, someone edited those reports and footage into aption video and broadcasted it at Tang Qidai and Zhai Cis engagement party. The surround sound system spread the contents of theption video to every corner of the banquet hall. The discussions at the scene gradually grew louder. In the dim light, Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou noticed her doubt, so he exined in a low voice, It wasnt me. Then who is it? She sent the video of Tang Qidai to Huo Xunzhou, knowing that he would definitely prepare everything. When she saw theption video, her first reaction was to think that Huo Xunzhou was behind it. Number 1357, Huo Xunzhou reminded her. She had almost forgotten about Number 1357. No wonder Number 1357 sat far away from her when she entered the banquet hall. It turned out that he was the one behind this. He did not expect the system to be so mischievous as to y such a video at Tang Qidais engagement party. He wanted to embarrass the Cheng family before Tang Qidai went to jail again. Tang Qidai heaved a sigh of relief for no reason when she saw the content of the projection. It was nothing unusual for these reports to be visible to anyone with Inte ess. Lin Shanchu probably did this to annoy her. However, Zhai Ci did not look well. Even though the banquet hall was dimly lit, Tang Qidai could still sense Zhai Cis displeasure. Zhai Ci, dont be angry. This is all in the past. I have nothing to do with Lu Shiyuan now. Tang Qidai felt a little guilty when she said thetter half of her words. It was because Lu Shiyuan came to her a few days ago, trying to get some money from her. She gave the money to him. Lu Shiyuan had a hold over her. She was afraid that if she did not give him the money, he woulde to her engagement party to cause trouble. Fortunately, Lu Shiyuan had been well-behaved these few days and stoppeding for her after she gave him the money. Why didnt you behave yourself in the past? Di Ci gritted his teeth and said coldly, Ive be theughing stock in front of so many people today! I was silly at that time and acquainted with the wrong people. No matter what happened in the past, you are my first man Tang Qidai softened her voice and blew into his ear. Zhai Cis breathing changed. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist. Why are you acting coquettishly? You only know how to seduce me. Tang Qidai moved softly into his embrace and heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, all the lights in the hall lit up with a click. Lets go to the loungeter, Zhai Ci said softly as he rubbed her waist. Alright, Tang Qidai replied shyly. She Imew that Zhai Ci liked her like this the most. The video on the projection ended. Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci walked toward Patriarch Cheng. Patriarch Cheng was still angry. The hotel staff stood at the side and apologized respectfully to him. There were many guests present at the scene. Patriarch Cheng held back his temper and pointed at the projector. Turn it off immediately! The staff immediately left. Tang Qidai and Zhai Ci walked up to him. Daddy. Tang Qidai lowered her eyes with a look of guilt on her face. Patriarch Cheng knew what had happened to Tang Qidai in the past, so it was meaningless to pursue the matter now. Frowning, he waved at Tang Qidai and said impatiently, Thats none of your business. Go back and rest. This was exactly what Zhai Ci and Tang Qidai wanted. The two of them looked at each other and turned to leave. The staff member who went to turn off the projection just now walked over and said, Mr. Cheng, its been turned off. Patriarch Chengs expression eased a little as he said, Alright. The subordinate next to him consciously went forward to help Patriarch Cheng up and walk towards the stage. There was a minor technical error just now. I hereby apologize to everyone here As soon as he finished speaking, another click sound was heard. All the lights in the venue went out again. The projection that had been turned off earlier was turned on again. Then, the screen was lowered and another video started ying again. Do you have to threaten me like this? Lin Shanchu heard Tang Qidais voice from the video. This time, the yed video was the one that Lin Shanchu had sent to Huo Xunzhou. Number 1357 yed the previous video just now, but this time, it was Huo Xunzhou. Some people who liked entertainment gossip already recognized the other person in the video as Kong Suyi. In addition, Kong Suyi was reported to havemitted suicide due to depression earlier, and the video was obviously taken from the surveince footage. It was enough for everyone to deduce what would happen next. When the previous video was yed, everyone was rather reserved. However, this video was about a human life. Since the lights had been turned off, everyone gathered their courage and started discussing it loudly. Tang Qidai had already reached the exit at the back. When she heard the voice, she turned her head with a drastic change of expression. She looked at the content on the projection screen in disbelief. What on earth is going on? Patriarch Chengs face was livid. Tang Qidai was so flustered that she did not bother to listen to Patriarch Chengs question at all. Instead, she lost control and knelt on the ground to beg him. Dad, you have to help me! Tell them to turn it off! Otherwise, I will be done for! The microphone in front of Patriarch Cheng was turned on, so Tang Qidais voice was amplified. The staff was in a mess. Im sorry, Patriarch Cheng. The remote control doesnt work! The electric gate cant be opened either! Patriarch Cheng was furious, but he tried his best to control himself and not lose hisposure in public. Suddenly, screams were heard offstage. Patriarch Cheng turned around and looked at the projection screen. In the video, Tang Qidai was frenzily smashing Kong Suyis head with a crystal ball ornament in her hand.. Chapter 433 - 433: Don I t Be A Human in Your Next Life Chapter 433: Don I t Be A Human in Your Next Life Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Patriarch Cheng almost fainted in rage after ncing at the screen. Back then, he got someone to seek a reprieve for Tang Qidais case because he did not think that the personal injury was that serious. You Patriarch Cheng pointed at Tang Qidai with a trembling finger and bereft of speech for a long time. Tang Qidai knew that she was done for. She slumped to the ground with a dazed expression. The video ended and the lights lit up. Patriarch Cheng barely caught his breath and shouted, Call the police! Call the police! Cheng Fanjing quickly ran up the stage to help Patriarch Cheng. When she walked over, she held Patriarch Cheng with one hand and turned off the microphone with the other. Grandpa, you cant be too emotional right now. Dont get too angry. Look at me. You still have me. Cheng Fanjing helped Patriarch Cheng slowly down the stage,forting him in a low voice and patting his back to calm him down. Patriarch Chengs mood improved a little. Fanjing Let Dad handle the matters here. Dont overthink it. Ill send you back to rest. When Cheng Fanjing got off the stage, she nced at Lin Shanchu. Leaning lightly against Huo Xunzhou, Lin Shanchu tilted her head and stared at Tang Qidai, who was slumped on stage. Cheng Fanjing could not understand theplicated emotions in her eyes. This woman really had some tricks up her sleeve. She was also ruthless enough. Cheng Fanjing quickly averted her gaze and helped Patriarch Cheng leave. Cheng Fanjings father stayed behind to clean up the mess. I am very sorry that such an ident has urred. Todays banquet will temporarily end. The Cheng family will definitely hold a banquet to apologize to everyone in the future The guests showed him respect and left one after another. The fun was over anyway. Although some people still wanted to stay and watch Tang Qidai get arrested by the police, they had no choice but to leave since they still had to associate with the Cheng family in the future. In any case, they could witness the rest of the drama at the hotel entrance. The police would definitely leave through the entrance after they arrested Tang Qidai. Shortly afterwards, the banquet hall became empty. Ming Yao looked around before her gaze fell on Yun Yi. Arent you leaving? Yun Yi pursed his lips and looked at Huo Xunzhou. Big Brother, you guys go first, Huo Xunzhou said slowly as he grabbed Lin Shanchus hand under the table. Yun Jin still wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold, so he echoed, Goodbye, Big Brother. After ncing at Yun Jin, Yun Yi ordered indifferently, Goodbye? Lets go together. I dont want to Yun Jins voice trailed off as he still wanted to act shamelessly. Yun Yi stood up and dragged him away. Come home early when youre done, Yun Yi said to Huo Xunzhou before he left. Huo Xunzhou nodded lightly. After watching them leave, Huo Xunzhou turned his head and called out softly, Shanshan? When the video started ying just now, Lin Shanchu rested her head on his shoulder and watched it silently. She had been silent for a long time. And Jing Ming, Lin Shanchu said softly as she slowly sat up straight. Huo Xunzhou gripped her hand andforted her silently. Lin Shanchu turned around and smiled at him. Then, she stood up and strode toward Tang Qidai. Tang Qidai was still slumped on the floor, as if she had lost her soul. Zhai Ci was scolding her at the side. To think that you were clean and pitiful. Damn it Youre actually a murderer! You have utterly embarrassed me! As he cursed, he fearfully kept his distance from Tang Qidai, as if he was afraid that she would smash his head with something like she did in the video. When Zhai Ci saw Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou walking over, he immediately retreated with a stiff expression. Compared to the murderer, Tang Qidai, he was more afraid of Huo Xunzhou. After all, Tang Qidai was a woman. If she wanted to kill him, he still had the strength to subdue her. However, if the other party was Huo Xunzhou, he would be powerless to fight back. However, Huo Xunzhou looked more normal than the murderer, Tang Qidai. Zhai Ci thought that as long as he did not provoke Huo Xunzhou, he would not try to kill him. Tang Qidai slowly raised her head and met Lin Shanchus gaze. Tang Qidais lips parted into a strange smile that seemed a little crazy. I knew you wouldnt let me off the hook. In contrast to her expression, her tone was very calm. There was a strange calmness and peace of mind, as if a person who was walking on a tightrope had finally reached the other side. Ive been nning hard in my entire life just to have a better life, but in the end, all my efforts were in vain! Why cant you just let me off the hook?! Huh? Why?! Tang Qidai crawled toward Lin Shanchu with a ferocious expression. Huo Xunzhou raised his hand and gestured for the staff to hold Tang Qidai down. However, Lin Shanchu took a few steps forward and stepped on Tang Qidais head. The staff members who were about to subdue Tang Qidai were stunned. They looked at each other and then turned to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou raised his hand slightly, indicating for them to stay out of it. Lin Shanchu was no longer the sickly Lin Shanchu from before. After Lin Shanchu stepped on Tang Qidais head, thetter struggled for a long time, but her foot did not budge at all. Lin Shanchu, let go of me! Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly, looking a little impatient and puzzled. I didnt let you off the hook? Lin Shanchu chuckled. Do you still think youre in this state just because I didnt let you off the hook? Lin Shanchu slowly squatted down and carefully examined Tang Qidais face. But youre right. Ive never thought of letting you off the hook. You tried to escape and cover up the crime of intentional murder with ill intention. Will you be sentenced to death or life imprisonment? Lin Shanchu chuckled. I hope its going to be life imprisonment. After all, life in prison is regted. You can spend the rest of your life peacefully in there, right? Tang Qidai paled and trembled in fear when she just imagined spending the rest of her life in a dark prison. Lin Shanchu continued, Being sentenced to death isnt bad either. Youve lived your entire life but you still understand nothing. You might as well just die. Dont be a human in your next life Police investigation! Unrted personnel, please leave the scene! At this moment, the police rushed over. Lin Shanchu slowly withdrew her foot from Tang Qidais head. Huo Xunzhou walked up to her, grabbed her shoulder strap and led her away. When the police ran to the stage to arrest Tang Qidai, they brushed past her. Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks for a moment but did not turn back. She leaned on Huo Xunzhous shoulder and whispered, Im a little tired. Huo Xunzhou patted her head and said gently, Lets go home and rest. Lin Shanchu nodded and asked, Wheres Number 1357? Huo Xunzhou whispered to her, Hes at the entrance. I saw him just now. Oh. As expected, Lin Shanchu saw Number 1357 at the entrance.. Chapter 434 - 434: The Scheming Teacher Huo Chapter 434: The Scheming Teacher Huo Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Number 1357 grinned at Lin Shanchu and gave her a look, trying to ask her if he had done the right thing. Lin Shanchu squinted at him for two seconds before chuckling. Lets go home. Number 1357 nodded vigorously and followed her out. The entrance of Boya Hotel was packed with people. Many people had seen the video of Tang Qidai killing Kong Suyi, so the news already spread like wildfire. The entrance was mostly filled with people who came to watch the drama unfold after learning the news, including many reporters. Wen Huan waved at Lin Shanchu in the crowd. Shanshan! Lin Shanchu smiled at him. There were too many people and Wen Huan couldnt squeeze through the crowd, so he could only shout, See youter. Lin Shanchu nodded at him. Lin Suguang! Someone in the crowd shouted Number 1357s name. It was Jiang Weizhu. After squeezing through the crowd, she stood in front of Number 1357 and asked, Why didnt you reply to my WeChat or answer my calls? Number 1357 replied expressionlessly, Its impossible between us. Jiang Weizhu sneered. Alright! She averted her gaze. When she looked at Lin Shanchu, her expression softened. I heard that something happened at the Cheng familys engagement party. Jiang Weizhu asked Lin Shanchu. Did that person from the Cheng family kill someone? Jiang Weizhu had to discuss an important project today, so she only showed up at the engagement party for a brief while and left in a hurry. After she was done with her work, she rushed over just to intercept Lin Suguang. Previously, she thought that Lin Suguang was quite interesting. However, Lin Suguang seemed to have turned into a different person and was not as interesting as before since he was discharged from the hospital. Since Lin Suguang was not interested in her, it would be shameless of her to continue pestering him. Lin Suguang was not the only man in the entire Capital City. Before Lin Shanchu could say anything, a voice came from the crowd. They are out! Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tang Qidai being escorted out by the police officers on her left and right. Tang Qidais hands were covered with a ck cloth to conceal the handcuffs. Boya Hotel had strengthened its security management. Those reporters who wanted to reach the front row to get the first-hand news were stopped, so they could only take photos from afar. Even after Tang Qidai was brought into the police car, everyone was still discussing the matter in situ. Huo Xunzhou left with Lin Shanchu. He did not leave immediately after sending Lin Shanchu home. Lin Shanchu leaned against the sofa and asked himzily, Dont you have something to do? Do I look that busy? Huo Xunzhou chuckled. Am I so busy that I dont even have time to apany my girlfriend? Lin Shanchu nodded vigorously. Huo Xunzhous smile deepened as he continued, I wont leave tonight then. Ill stay with you. After hearing his words, Lin Shanchu kept quiet and just smiled at him. I think its fine, Number 1357 said as he passed by them. Huo Xunzhou nced at Number 1357. Huo Xunzhou could feel that Number 1357 would asionally show hostility towards him, and sometimes he would deliberately matchmake him with Lin Shanchu. Unfortunately, Number 1357 was not a human, so Huo Xunzhou could not really understand his logic. He Xiang also came over and whispered, Should I go make the bed in the guest room now? Number 1357 looked at He Xiang in confusion and asked, Cant you be a little more sensible? Speechless, He Xiang had an innocent look on her face. Then, she understood immediately and said, There are a lot of things piled up in the guest room. I cant pack them up. Sister Lins room is more spacious. Lin Shanchu was speechless. These two people were really They understood her too well! Are you guys very free? Dont you have anything to do? Lin Shanchu cleared her throat and asked He Xiang, Arent you going to check the online news about Tang Qidai? After that, she turned to look at Number 1357 and asked, Are you done watching drama? He Xiang trotted back to her room with her phone in her hand to read the gossip. Number 1357 was dawdling on the spot, looking hesitant. It was as if he had something to say but did not dare to do so. Lin Shanchus eyes shed with realization as she said helplessly, If you want to eat ice cream, you can take it from the fridge but you cant take too much. Number 1357 grinned. Im leaving. He turned around and ran towards the kitchen. In the blink of an eye, he was gone. Huo Xunzhou watched their interaction. You get along very well with Number 1357. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and widened her eyes in confusion. Is that so? Huo Xunzhou said, He didnt say anything just now, but you knew what he was thinking. Number 1357s expression was not as rich as a humans. Instead, it was rather mechanical. He likes to eat sweet things, and He Xiang likes to eat ice cream. A few days ago, he saw He Xiang eating it, so he also ate half a box of it. It had been a few days since the incident, but Lin Shanchu still could not hide the surprise in her voice when she talked about it. Thinking about it now, she thought that it was ridiculous. It was quite outrageous to eat half a box of ice cream in the middle of winter. After that, Number 1357 had diarrhea for two days. After that, Lin Shanchu stopped him from eating ice cream. Number 1357 felt better after two days, so he craved for ice cream again. Huo Xunzhou curled his lip after noticing the the disbelief in her voice. At this moment, Number 1357 came out with a box of ice cream. I only took a small box, said Number 1357 as he handed Lin Shanchu a palm-sized box of ice cream. Sure. Lin Shanchu nodded. Number 1357 ate as he walked towards his room. Sometimes, his behavior was a little childish like a child. Huo Xunzhou asked her calmly, Are you nning to keep him around like this from now on? Lin Shanchu exined, Hell leave afterpleting his mission. As for the criteria forpleting the mission and how he would leave afterpleting the mission, Lin Shanchu did not know the details. Number 1357 never talked to her about this issue. However, she might have to wait for a long time since Number 1357 could not even remember the initial plot. Huo Xunzhou did not pursue the matter further. He would not interfere in the matters between Number 1357 and Lin Shanchu. He only needed to respect her thoughts. Lin Shanchu remembered that she had not been concerned about this issue ever since Huo Xunzhou moved back to the old mansion. Are you used to living in the Huo familys old mansion? So far so good, Huo Xunzhou said as he gave her a look, trying to hint her that she finally remembered to ask him about this question. It was just a ce to sleep. It was the same everywhere. Lin Shanchu asked, Hows the investigation going? Huo Xunzhou curled his lip and replied, Do you know what Im investigating? Of course I know. Lin Shanchu lightly raised her chin and said confidently, The scheming Teacher Huo couldnt have moved back to the Huo familys old mansion just to take care of his injured father, could he? Huo Xunzhou previously said that he was investigating his aunts whereabouts. However, he still got no news about her after a long period of investigation. As long as a living person lived in this world, it was impossible for them to be out of sight without a trace. She was either dead or hidden by Huo Zhuxiu. Therefore, Huo Xunzhou decided to start with Huo Zhuxiu. It was also the reason that Huo Xunzhou had moved back to the Huo familys old mansion. Huo Xunzhou said deeply, Im almost there. Lin Shanchu patted his head and said, No hurry, just take your time. Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips before kissing the back of her hand. He then changed the topic in a low voice.. What do you want to eat tonight? Chapter 435 - 435: Hubby? Chapter 435: Hubby? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou meant that he was nning to stay the night. Lin Shanchu blinked and asked mischievously, I can eat anything I want? After staring at her for a moment, Huo Xunzhous eyes darkened as he replied, Of course not. Hmph ! Lin Shanchu huffed. Then, she unhappily crossed her arms and turned her head away from him. Why did you ask me then? Ill cook for you tonight, Huo Xunzhou replied as he tilted his head to look at her face. Hearing his words, Lin Shanchu looked away childishly. Are you really going to ignore me? Huo Xunzhou thought it was cute andughed. Whatever. Lin Shanchu nced at him awkwardly. Alright, Huo Xunzhou replied. He knew Lin Shanchus taste very well. He could just make a few favorite dishes of hers. When Huo Xunzhou went to the kitchen to cook dinner at night, He Xiang ran up to Lin Shanchu and asked, Sister Lin, are you really not going to help him? It seemed like they were at odds again. He Xiang felt that this was something new. Lin Shanchu was now throwing a tantrum! She shook her head repeatedly and replied, I dont dare to go there. Why? Lin Shanchu turned to look at her and said, Teacher Huo has a good temper. He Xiang muttered, Thats for you. What did you say? Lin Shanchu did not hear her clearly. He Xiang replied, I mean Teacher Huo is busy cooking alone. Can you bear it? Lin Shanchu recalled something from a long time ago. At that time, she stayed at Huo Xunzhous house for a while after burning down Lu Shiyuans house and making her escape. Whenever she cooked at Huo Xunzhous house, he would always help her out in the kitchen. In fact, he had always been a considerate person. In front of her, he always acted like she could bully him as she pleased without getting angry at her. Therefore, she still wanted to mess with him even though he did not get angry. Alright then. Lin Shanchu threw her phone on the sofa and walked towards the kitchen. As she walked, she started jogging. She seemed to be impatient. He Xiang was speechless. Huh? Its so interesting to watch others fall in love. Lin Suguangs smiling voice sounded. He Xiang turned her head and saw Lin Suguangs radiant smile on his face. There was another strange person in this family. Lin Shanchu ran to the kitchen door and slowed down. Then, she coughed lightly to attract Huo Xunzhous attention. Huo Xunzhou turned around and asked her concernedly, Whats wrong? A tall and handsome man was standing in front of the stove and wearing an apron with his white shirt rolled up while holding a spat in his hand, looking extremely gentle. Anyone who saw him would be moved. Lin Shanchus temper subsided a little. However, it did not affect her stubbornness. He Xiang asked me to help you. Ill have to thank He Xiang then. Thank her for what? Thank her for getting my girlfriend, who ignored me, to take the initiative to talk to me. Huo Xunzhou leaned over in a doting tone and his smiling charming eyes were level with hers. Lin Shanchu pouted and red at him. He leaned over and kissed her. Lin Shanchuined softly, I didnt allow you to kiss me! I was wrong, so take revenge on me. Huo Xunzhou maintained his posture of looking into her eyes. Lin Shanchu was puzzled. Huo Xunzhou inched closer to her and said, Kiss me in return. Lin Shanchus lips squirmed. After a few seconds, she shouted, Shameless! Then, she wrinkled her nose and sniffed. Did something get burned? Huo Xunzhous face stiffened and he quickly turned around to look at the pot. The vegetables in the pot were already burnt. Huo Xunzhous face tensed up as he poured the burnt vegetables into the trash can. He frowned and looked like he was doubting his life. Huo Xunzhou had always been so focused on his work, but he forgot about the food in the pot just to tease her. No one would believe this. Huo Xunzhou used a lot of strength when he was washing the pot. Lin Shanchu was worried that he would break the pot. Lin Shanchu held back herughter and tried her best to sound calm. What dish did you make just now? Shall I prepare another one for you? Laugh if you want to, Huo Xunzhou said without even looking up. Lin Shanchu thought that she had hidden herughter well, but she did not expect to be discovered by Huo Xunzhou. The next second, Lin Shanchuughed out loud. Huo Xunzhou sighed silently. Huo Xunzhou used to cook, but he had been busy in the past few years. He rarely cooked, so his cooking skills were naturally not as good as Lin Shanchus. Number 1357 took two bites and started to be picky. Why is this dish As he spoke, he fell silent and stole a nce at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu, who had sneakily kicked him under the table, turned around and said to Huo Xunzhou with a serious expression, This dish is delicious. He Xiang asked 1357, Uncle, what did you want to say just now? I have to say this dish is delicious. Number 1357 silently picked up the food with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. Whatever! As long as the daughter liked it. Lin Shanchu went online to read the news before she went to bed. Tang Qidais name upied the top spot on every tform. [F*ck? This scandal is too great!] [Tang Qidai is a ruthless person!] [I admit that Ive been thinking too kindly of Tang Qidai all this time.] [Wasnt Kong Suyi Tang Qidais manager for several years?] [Thankfully, Sister Rabbits assistant resigned from Tang Qidais side a long time ago.] [Sister Rabbits assistant is called He Xiang. He Xiang is really lucky to have left early.] [Shes so ruthless. She even dared to kill her manager. Did she ever think of doing the same to Sister Rabbit] [Definitely! ] [Perhaps not only did she think about it, but she also put it into action. However, Sister Rabbit is smart] Just as Lin Shanchu was engrossed in browsing thements, her phone was snatched away. Stop looking. Youll have insomnia at night if you keep looking at it. Huo Xunzhou ced her phone in the drawer. Ill just look at it a little longer. The mobile phone was so much fun that she wanted to y on it for a while longer. Lin Shanchu raised a finger with a serious expression. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and said, Dont toss and turn and disturb my sleep when you have insomnia at night. Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth and shouted, Ill be able to sleep for sure! I wont affect you! She did not believe that she would have insomnia! She was determined not to be crushed. She had to sleep! Huo Xunzhou handed her the phone and went to take a shower. When he came out of the shower, Lin Shanchu was still ying on her phone. She looked focused as she swiped across the screen with her slender fingers. Huo Xunzhou stared at her for a while, but she did not even look at him. Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips andy on the bed alone, ready to sleep. After some time, Lin Shanchu finally remembered that Huo Xunzhou was still in the room. She looked up and saw Huo Xunzhou lying on the bed, looking like he was fast asleep. Did he fall asleep so quickly? Huo Xunzhou? No reaction? Big baby? There was still no reaction. Hubby? Chapter 436 - 436: Forget It, You Can Sleep Next Door Chapter 436: Forget It, You Can Sleep Next Door Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard that form of address. Youre pretending to be asleep! Lin Shanchuughed proudly after catching him red-handed. The next second, Huo Xunzhou reached out and pulled her over. Lin Shanchu was pressed into his arms, and the distance between them was so close that they could see each others distinct eyshes. What did you call me just now? Huo Xunzhou asked her in a slightly hoarse voice. Her voice was extremely sexy. Lin Shanchu felt her ears go numb. She wanted to reach out to touch her ears, but Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand. She raised the other hand, but Huo Xunzhou also grabbed it. He stared at her with a deep gaze. He looked unusually strong and would not give up until he achieved his goal. Huo Xunzhou, Lin Shanchu answered as she darted her eyes around. Huo Xunzhou said, No. Lin Shanchu replied, Big baby. Huo Xunzhou said, Thats not it. Lin Shanchu answered, No more. She was still thinking about how she should respond if Huo Xunzhou continued to ask her questions, but then she felt the force holding her loosen in an instant. Go take a shower. Huo Xunzhou took her phone away from the nket. After that, Lin Shanchu was no longer in the mood to y on her phone. She carried her clothes and obediently went to the bathroom. When she came out of the shower, Huo Xunzhou was leaning against the bed and looking at his phone. Lin Shanchu climbed onto the bed and sneaked over to look at his phone screen. As a result, Huo Xunzhou handed the phone to her. Lin Shanchu noticed that Huo Xunzhou was looking at the Yun familys group chat. It would be New Years Eve in a few days, so the group was discussing where to have the New Years Eve dinner. Troublemaker Second Brother: [We had New Years Eve dinner at homest year, so we should have dinner outside for this years New Years Eve.] Retired President: [I think theyre all the same.] Retired Presidents Wife: [@Sessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother, what do you think?] Sessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother: [I think its better to dine at home.] Little Darling: [Cant you just ask Shanshan where she wants to eat?] Retired Presidents Wife: [Oh, right!] Retired Presidents Wife: [@Shanshan, do you want to dine at home or go out for New Years Eve dinner?] When Lin Shanchu saw Huo Xunzhous aunt tagging her, she wanted to find he phone to reply to the message. In the end, she did not see her phone after looking around. Give me your phone, she said, spreading her hands at Huo Xunzhou. Where do you want to eat? Ill reply for you. Huo Xunzhou tapped open the editing panel, looking as if he would reply to whatever she said. Anything! Lin Shanchu pursed her lips. Big Baby: [Lets have New Years Eve dinner at home.] Retired Presidents Wife: [Did Shanshan tell you that she wanted to dine at home?] Big Baby: [Both of us want to dine at home.] Troublemaker Second Brother: [Why isnt Shanshan showing up to reply to our messages? Its only 11:00 p.m. She cant be asleep already, right?] Big Baby: [Shes not sleeping. I confiscated her phone.] Troublemaker Second Brother: [????] Little Darling: [!!!!] Sessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother: [Oh.] Retired Presidents Wife: [You dont even have a wife. What are you doing?] Sessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother: [Mom, I was wrong.] Troublemaker Second Brother: [Hahahahaha!] Retired Presidents Wife: [What are youughing at? Go to work with your big brother tomorrow. Dont engage in those illegal deeds all day!] Troublemaker Second Brother: [Zhouzhou also did illegal deeds in the past. Why are you only scolding me?] Retired Presidents Wife: [@Sessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother, take your little brother to a neurologist tomorrow.] Troublemaker Second Brother: [???] Little Darling: [Second Brother, are you so unclear about your position? What do you have topare with Third Brother?] Sessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother: [@Troublemaker Second Brother, wake up early tomorrow. Ill take you to a neurologist. I still have to rush back to thepany for a meeting. Ill be busy in the morning and have to attend two meetings.] Troublemaker Second Brother: [Do you guys think what youre saying is humannguage?] Troublemaker Second Brother: [[Crying.jpg][Angry.jpg][I want to leave this house.jpg]] Lin Shanchu leaned on Huo Xunzhous shoulder and fell aboutughing while staring at the messages in the group chat. This family chat was too interesting. Was this the legendary position of the younger brother in the family? Huo Xunzhou also smiled. He sent a message in the group: [Were going to sleep.] The group went silent for a moment before messages appeared in unison: [Good night.] The uniform messages of Good night revealed an eerie vibe that took her breath away. Huo Xunzhou left the group chat, turned off his phone and ced it on the bedside table. He turned to look at Lin Shanchu, who was lying on the nket, and said, Lets go to sleep. Im not sleepy anymore. Lin Shanchu shook her head as shey on the nket. She was a little sleepy at first, but sheughed awake after seeing the messages in the family chat group. Huo Xunzhou reached out and pulled Lin Shanchu up. Without a word, he stuffed her under the nket. Lin Shanchu tried to resist Huo Xunzhou, but he was well-prepared and pinned her down. Huo Xunzhou held her down with one hand and turned off the lights with the other. The room waspletely dark. In the darkness, Lin Shanchu could not see clearly. She wriggled under the nket for a long time before finally falling into Huo Xunzhous arms. Huo Xunzhou caught thedy who threw herself at him and pulled her into his arms before he threatened, Lin Shanchu, Ill sleep next door if you move again. Lin Shanchu was stunned. After two seconds of silence, she acted like a drama queen. Teacher Huo, Im no longer your beloved Shanshan. Do you really not want to sleep with your beloved Shanshan anymore? Sob Huo Xunzhou found it funny when he heard her ridiculous words. He patted her head and coaxed her gently. Alright, stop fooling around. Behave yourself. Lin Shanchu buried her head in his chest and rubbed against it. Answer myst question then. Okay. Huo Xunzhou agreed. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and secretly smiled. She then pretended to be serious. Tell me, am I your beloved Shanshan? She could feel Huo Xunzhous breathing froze slightly after she asked this question. Lin Shanchu became even more aggressive as she said, If you dont answer me, Im going to mess with you for the whole night. After a while, words fell from Huo Xunzhous lips. Yeah. Your answer is so forced Lin Shanchu was not satisfied with this answer. She snorted and turned around. Forget it. You can sleep next door. I dont feel like sleeping with you now. Lin Shanchu,e here, Huo Xunzhou called out to her in a low voice. Youre still mean to me! Lin Shanchu mumbled as she continued to move to the other side. Huo Xunzhou replied, I wasnt being mean to you. Hmph ! Sensing Lin Shanchu moving further and further away, Huo Xunzhou cleared his throat and said in a low voice, I beg you. Beg me for what? Shanshan, pleasee and sleep with me. Huo Xunzhou was not used to saying such straightforward words, so his tone was a little awkward.. Chapter 437 - 437: My Beloved Shanshan Chapter 437 - 437: My Beloved Shanshan Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion It took a great deal of self-control for Lin Shanchu to hold back fromughing out loud. What else? she asked as she calmed herself down. After she said the words, the room fell silent. Lin Shanchu did not rush him. After a while, the mans deep and maic voice sounded in the dark night. You are my beloved Shanshan. It was obvious that he stumbled over the first two words, but he smoothly said my beloved Shanshan in the second half of the sentence. Lin Shanchu was very satisfied. She rolled around under the nket before throwing herself into Huo Xunzhous arms. Shanshan forgives you. She leaned into Huo Xunzhous arms and obediently closed her eyes to sleep. Mm. Huo Xunzhou chuckled. He reached out and gently patted Lin Shanchus back to coax her to sleep. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to fall asleep, Tang Qidais face shed across her mind. She suddenly woke up. Huo Xunzhous pat on her back was so light that it was negligible. She Imew that he had been very busy recently. He had to deal with thepanys matters and Huo Zhuxiu while staying in the old mansion. He had to find out his aunts whereabouts and even spend a lot of effort to deal with her. He was not a god, so he would be tired for sure. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes in the darkness and felt his hand gently patting her back slowly stop. It did not take long for his breathing to slow down. Lin Shanchu listened to his breathing and felt at ease, but she was wide awake. The events of the day shed through her mind like life shing before her eyes. Then, she couldnt help but think about thements and news she had read online before she went to bed. She was wrong. She felt that Huo Xunzhou might really be a god. He had warned her not to look at her phone because she might have insomnia, but she did not believe him. This time, she really could not sleep! Lin Shanchu sighed quietly. She was afraid that she would wake Huo Xunzhou up with a loud sigh. Lin Shanchu closed her eyes and tried to force herself to sleep. To her surprise, she became more awake and clear-headed after she closed her eyes. Tang Qidais face became clearer and clearer, and she could clearly remember the IDs of theizens who posted thosements. She closed her eyes and her mind was a mess. She was so annoyed that she wanted to turn over. Huo Xunzhou had been asleep for so long. It shouldnt be a problem for her to quietly turn over, right? Lin Shanchu tried to move her body slightly. As she moved, she paid attention to Huo Xunzhous reaction. Great, Huo Xunzhou did not react at all and was not woken up by her. Lin Shanchu became bolder and flipped over. Unexpectedly, just as she stretched her arm out from under the nket, the mans sleepy voice came from above her head. Cant sleep? Lin Shanchu froze. Why was Huo Xunzhou such a light sleeper? She was already very careful. Why was he still awake? Did he pretend to be asleep again? If he knew that she really had insomnia, he would definitelyugh at her. Huo Xunzhou seemed to know what she was thinking. If you have insomnia, so be it. I wontugh at you. After he finished speaking, he caressed her face in the darkness and urately found her lips to kiss her. It was a light kiss with aforting nature. Huo Xunzhou did not move away after the kiss. Instead, he pressed his lips against hers and asked, Were you thinking about Tang Qidai? When he spoke, his breathnded on Lin Shanchus lips, melting her heart. She asked softly, How did you know? Tang Qidai is different from the others who have a grudge against you, Huo Xunzhou said softly. She has a deeper influence on you than you think. Lin Shanchu always had a lot on her mind. Back in Xu City, the matter between Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai seemed to havee to an end, but in fact, she thought it was not over yet. Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai were her incurable illnesses. Even if Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai were dead, she would not recover immediately and her wound would only slowly scab over. Healing required a long recuperation process. Lin Shanchu needed time, but she also needed him. Therefore, he needed to settle his own matters as soon as possible. That was why he changed his strategy and chose to return to the Huo familys old mansion to keep an eye on Huo Zhuxiu. He had tried all the roundabout methods. He only wanted to get it done quickly. Lin Shanchu thought that Huo Xunzhou had a point. Compared to the others, she hated Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan the most. She did not even hate Cheng Fanjing, who was always picking on her. Lin Shanchuined softly, If I had known this earlier, I would have listened to you and not looked at my phone. Ill chat with you, Huo Xunzhou said as he patted her head. In fact, she would certainly have insomnia tonight even if she did not look at her phone before going to bed. Mm, Lin Shanchu repliedzily. On New Years Eve, everyone in the family will give you red packets, except for Yun Wu, who is younger than you. Huo Xunzhous soft voice was maic and pleasant. Lin Shanchu was ted when she heard the red packets. Without me, youd be the youngest in the family besides Yun Wu. They gave vou red packets in the Dast vears, right? Yun Wu gave me a red packet when I celebrated the New Year with themst year. After hearing what Huo Xunzhou said, Lin Shanchu remembered that he had only returned to the Huo family for less than two years. However, it was best not to mention the Huo family at this time. What a killjoy. She asked Huo Xunzhou, You didnt ept Yun Wus red packet too, did you? Huo Xunzhou replied calmly, I did. How could you be like this? Thats Yun Wus kind intention. Why couldnt I ept it? Who gave the biggest red packet? Grandfather, he gave me a house. A house? Lin Shanchu thought that the red packet would only contain money or checks. It was true that she had seen too little of the world. Big Brother gave me a car. What did Yun Jin give you? Lin Shanchu was a little numb. Why did you specifically ask about him? I think he probably gave the least. Upon hearing her words, Huo Xunzhou chuckled, On the contrary, he gave the most in terms of number. What did he give? He blew up a bunch of my anti-fans ounts and even gave me a box of shopping cards from various stores. Huo Xunzhou seemed to find it very interesting. As he spoke, his voice carried a hint ofughter. After hearing those words, Lin Shanchuughed. It does sound like Yun Jins style. Yun Jin looked like he had gone crazy from poverty, but he was quite willing to spend money on Huo Xunzhou. I havent used up the shopping cards he gave me yet. The smile in Huo Xunzhous voice did not fade. Lin Shanchuughed out loud. She found the people and events in the Yun family very interesting, so she pestered Huo Xunzhou to continue talking about the Yun family. In fact, Huo Xunzhou had not spent much time with the Yun family in the past two years, but when he mentioned it, he realized that there were a lot of things to talk about. He spoke softly, calming her heart with his deep and gentle voice. Lin Shanchu began to feel sleepy after listening to the story for a while. She forced herself to listen for a while, but she could not hold back her sleepiness and finally fell asleep.. Chapter 438 - 438: From Her Demeanor to Her Face, She Exuded an Aged Aura Chapter 438 - 438: From Her Demeanor to Her Face, She Exuded an Aged Aura Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu did not have any year-end activities. Since Number 1357 was by her side, she approved He Xiangs leave so that she could return to her hometown to celebrate the New Year. He Xiang got a flight ticket early the next morning, so she got up at 4:00 a.m. to pack her things. At that time, Lin Shanchu had just fallen asleep and was sleeping soundly, so she did not hear any movements. Lin Shanchu slept until noon. The person beside her was already gone. Huo Xunzhou had already left early in the morning. He had a lot of things to do at thepany. Lin Shanchu took it and saw that Huo Xunzhou had sent her several WeChat messages. Huo Xunzhou: [Breakfast is in the kitchen. Warm it up and eat it after you wake up.] Huo Xunzhou: [I have to attend a luncheon at noon. Ill order some food for you and send it over.] The first message was sent at 9:00 a.m. The second message was sent just now. Huo Xunzhou really considerate to her and even left breakfast for her. In the end, she slept until noon. However, Huo Xunzhou was really energetic. He had been tormented by her until midnightst night, but he was still able to get up early to make breakfast today. Lin Shanchu guessed that he must still be busy, so she did not reply to him immediately. Instead, she decided to get up and wash up. He Kiang? Lin Shanchu called out habitually after washing up and changing her clothes. As a result, the person who ran over was not He Xiang, but Number 1357. Shanshan, youre up! Wheres He Xiang? She flew back to her hometown early in the morning today to celebrate the New Year. Lin Shanchu paused with her half-stretched arm before she slowly replied, Oh. Staying upte really hurt her brain. She actually forgot about this matter. He Xiang even specifically told her before she went to bed yesterday that she would be flying back to her hometown early in the morning today. Looking at the time, she should havended by now. Number 1357 nced at the clock on the wall. As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shanchus phone rang. The caller was He Xiang. Sister Lin, I just got off the ne. Im going home by car. Stay safe. He Xiang heard the tiredness in Lin Shanchus tone, she asked with a smile, Sister Lin, did you just get up? Ill hang up if theres nothing else. Her assistant knew her too well because she was even able to notice it. Lin Shanchu was embarrassed. He Xiang did not expose her. Alright, Im about to get in the car. Goodbye, Sister Lin! After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu went to the kitchen. Huo Xunzhous sandwich was already cold in the fridge. Lin Shanchu heated it up in the microwave, took a photo and sent it to Huo Xunzhou. As she ate the sandwich, she walked out and sent Huo Xunzhou a message with one hand. Someone knocked on the door. Number 1357 went to open the door and came back with a big box. Lin Shanchu thought that the meal ordered by Huo Xunzhou had arrived, so she shouted, Just put it in the dining room. I can eat it right after opening it. It doesnt look like food. Number 1357 walked over with the box. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at the box. The box was exquisite and elegant. It seem to be containing a gown and the like instead of food. Lin Shanchu instructed, Open it and take a look. Number 1357 opened the box and took out two sets of festive red outfits to show Lin Shanchu. It was a mens suit and a womens woolen skirt. The design was pretty good, but the color was too festive. Which brand owner gave her and Huo Xunzhou the Spring Festival couple outfits? Lin Shanchu took a closer look at the brand, but she could not remember working with this brand. Just as she was about to call Qi Cheng to ask him, a new message appeared on her phone notification bar. Lin Shanchu thought that Huo Xunzhou had replied to her message, so she immediately turned on WeChat. Huo Xunzhou was not the one who sent her a WeChat message, but his aunt. Huo Xunzhous aunt: [Shanshan, did you receive the things I sent you?] Lin Shanchu looked at the festive couple outfit in front of er and replied: [Two sets of clothes?] After asking the question, she took a photo and sent it to the aunt. Huo Xunzhous aunt: [Yes, yes, yes! Isnt it atmospheric when everyone wears red together for the New Year?] Lin Shanchu: [Yes.] Huo Xunzhous aunt: [Then how about you two just wear those two sets of clothes when youe home in two days?] Lin Shanchu: [Okay.] She had no opinion on what to wear. Moreover, red was indeed a festive color. Before the two ended their conversation, the aunt specifically reminded her: [Make sure you let Zhouzhou wear it with you.] Lin Shanchu vaguely understood why his aunt had sent the two sets of clothes to her. Huo Xunzhou did not usually wear such bright-colored clothes, but his aunt was particr about etiquette and could not force him. She had no choice but to send the clothes to Lin Shanchu so that she could persuade him. All the businessmen were scheming. Huo Xunzhou was the most scheming. After a while, the meal ordered by Huo Xunzhou was delivered. When Lin Shanchu was about to take an afternoon nap after lunch, Huo Xunzhou replied to her message. He called her directly after replying to the message. Lin Shanchu asked, Are you done with your work? Yeah, what are you doing? he asked in a low voice. Did you drink? Lin Shanchu asked, noticing that he was speaking much slower than usual. I drank a little. Are you going to be busy for long? Lin Shanchu was already in vacation mode, waiting to celebrate the New Year. Whats the matter? Huo Xunzhou chuckled. Do you want me to apany you? Lin Shanchu snorted. Dream on. Yun Wu will be back tomorrow. There will be plenty of people asking me out. Is that so? Huo Xunzhou askedzily. What a pity. Lin Shanchu said a few words to him before yawning and hanging up the phone. There were countless events at the end of the vear and various celebrities were vying for the poprity ranking. Tang Qidais matter was quickly squeezed out of the trending list. There were always so many new things in this world. Theizens just watched the events unfold and enjoyed the juicy gossips, and then the world would be over. However, it was not over for Lin Shanchu. Yun Wu woulde back the next afternoon. Last night, she excitedly flooded Lin Shanchus phone screen with messages to ask her where to have fun tomorrow. Although Yun Wu would only return in the afternoon, Lin Shanchu woke up early in the morning. It was because she was going to the detention center. Tang Qidai was arrested and detained by the police on the day of the engagement party. Now, the police were waiting to collect evidence and put her on trial after the New Year. Tang Qidai was surprised to see Lin Shanchu. What are you doing here? Lin Shanchu sized Tang Qidai up seriously. Tang Qidai still had the same pitiful face that many fans had once adored. Putting everything else aside, Tang Qidai was undoubtedly a beauty to have debuted. However, she looked as if she had aged ten years. From her demeanor to her face, she exuded an aged aura. When one faced true internal despair with their spirit copsed, they would be ruined from the inside out. Lin Shanchu could clearly see the white hair on Tang Qidais head. Tang Qidai followed her gaze and slowly ran her fingers through her hair. Lin Shanchu, youve won. Youve wonpletely.. Chapter 439 - 439: Everything Would End Once and For All Chapter 439: Everything Would End Once and For All Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Tang Qidais tone was filled with resignation and despair. She was like a terminally ill patient who was waiting for death after learning about her illness. There was no longer any hope of survival. For a moment, Lin Shanchu felt that Tang Qidai in front of her was a little simr to herself, who was once terminally ill. However, she felt that Tang Qidai was not simr to her on second thought. Unlike Tang Qidai, she was unwilling to wait for death. She was unwilling to die before Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu sped her hands together and ced them on the table. Then, she slowly leaned forward and fixed her gaze on Tang Qidai. Its just that I won? What else? A faint confusion surfaced on Tang Qidais face, as if she did not understand what Lin Shanchu was trying to convey with these two questions. Lin Shanchu looked at the expression on her face and sneered. No more? What else could it be? Tang Qidai smiled expressionlessly and replied, Im going to stay in this dark ce for the rest of my life. To what extent do you want to force me? The more Tang Qidai spoke, the more agitated she became. She then lost control and roared at Lin Shanchu. Youve already won! What else do you want?! Ive already said that I nned to live my life in peace. Why wont you let me off the hook? Why must you force me to this extent?! Im not a good person, but how much kinder are you than me? Tang Qidais out-of-control roar attracted the attention of the police. Then, they came in to take her away. When she was dragged away, she kept shouting Lin Shanchus name. The voice was sharp and mournful like a ghosts howl. Humans were not born with test certificates and standards. Therefore, not everyone was worthy of being a human. Some people were born evil and felt that the world and others had let them down until they died. Such a person would neither feel guilty nor apologetic. Even if they turned over a new leaf, they did not do it because they wanted to correct their mistakes and be good people. Rather, they could no longermit evil deeds under under restriction. Or perhaps it was because they could not hurt the person they hated even if theymitted evil deeds. If such a person died, everything would end once and for all. Lin Shanchu drove to pick up Yun Wu. Yun Wu handed her luggage to the chauffeur and asked him to send it back to the Yun family. She then got into Lin Shanchus car and went shopping with her. Yun Wu sat in Lin Shanchus car, leaning against the window and looking out. Its good to have a vacation! Yun Wu looked outside for a while and then excitedly said to Lin Shanchu, Lets go have a meal first. Then, well go shopping at the Gourmet Street. Theres an antique market in the west side of the city where we can shop. Theres also the Snack Street right next to it. When wee back here, we can go to the night market to eat barbecue Yun Wu was still the same, talking about food all the time. Alright, Lin Shanchu replied with a smile. Lin Shanchu went shopping with Yun Wu for the entire day. When they came back and went to the night market at night, they were stuck in a traffic jam. Yun Wu went out to inquire about the situation. When she got into the car, sheined that it was cold. Whats going on ahead? Lin Shanchu asked her. Yun Wu replied, Theres a car ident involving two luxury cars. It should be cleared up in a while. After hearing those words, Lin Shanchu nodded slowly and said, Lets wait then. Not long after waiting, the car in front of them began to move. Lin Shanchu started the car. After driving for a short distance, she saw Huo Chaosheng waving at her from the roadside. As soon as Lin Shanchu rolled down the car window, Huo Chaosheng ran over. Huo Chaosheng turned his head and saw Yun Wu sitting in the passenger seat. Teacher Yun, you are here too? Yun Wu pursed her lips and stared nervously at Huo Chaosheng as she clutched the seatbelt. Lin Shanchu ced one hand on the steering wheel and turned sideways to block Huo Chaoshengs line of sight. What are you doing here? I came out to have fun with my friend. My friend got into a car ident and the car can no longer be driven. Its not easy for me to hail a cab. Can you give me a ride? No, hail a cab yourself, Lin Shanchu said with a slightly restrained expression. Yun Wu was traumatized by Huo Chaosheng and was still afraid of him. There was no reason for her to pick him up when Yun Wu was also in the car. Huo Chaosheng was a little angry as he asked, Why are you like this? Dont you have any sense of righteousness? Lin Shanchu took out her phone and transferred a thousand yuan to Huo Chaosheng in front of him. Its enough for you to take a cab home. Lin Shanchu put away her phone and was about to roll up the car window. Didnt you say that youd have dinner with me after youre done with work? Huo Chaosheng asked anxiously with his hand still on the car window. Lin Shanchu replied, Im busy preparing for New Year celebration. Lets talk about it after the New Year. Really? Huo Chaosheng asked in disbelief. You swear? Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds before she replied, I swear. Thats more like it. Only then did Huo Chaosheng step back. When Lin Shanchu rolled up the car window, Huo Chaosheng turned his head and nastily looked at Yun Wu in the passenger seat. Teacher Yun, see you. Yun Wu grimaced as she clutched the seatbelt. Noticing Yun Wus expression, Lin Shanchu thought that she was probably not in the mood to shop anymore. Yun Wu, Ill take you home. Yun Wu shook her head and said, Lets go to the night market. Lin Shanchu thought that Yun Wu insisted on apanying her because she was worried that she had never been there before. Just as she was about to say that she did not really want to go there, she heard Yun Wu say, The barbecue there is reallv delicious. I havent eaten it in a long time. Im craving it. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She was overthinking it. Since Yun Wu insisted on going to the night market to eat barbecue, Lin Shanchu had nothing to say and drove straight to the night market. Many people came out to have fun at the end of the year. The night market was bustling with activity. Although the two of them bundled up, they were still recognized by a few keen- eyed passersby. Yun Wu took Lin Shanchu to arge barbecue restaurant. The restaurant was spacious, but both upstairs and downstairs were almost full. The two of them queued for half an hour before there were empty seats. The waiter led them upstairs. They were seated by the window. When they turned around, they could see the crowd downstairs. Yun Wu kept ordering food on the menu. After ordering food for a long time, she finally decided to push the menu to Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, what do you want to eat? Lin Shanchu nced at the dishes she had ordered and closed the menu. These are enough for us. Yun Wu looked at the order list herself and felt that he had indeed ordered a lot of dishes. Instead of ordering additional dishes, she called the waiter over. Please bring a half a case of beer over. Lin Shanchu looked at Yun Wu in surprise and asked, You want to drink? Yun Wu pursed her lips and nodded. Its rare that I dont have a job. Ill drink a bit. Oh, can you finish it? Lin Shanchu asked Yun Wu as she saw the waiter carrying half a case of beer. Lets drink together. Yun Wu widened her eyes and looked at Lin Shanchu as if it was a matter of course. Lin Shanchu thought that Yunwu was going to drink the beer by herself. Then, she replied, I have to driveter. You can hire a designated driver or ask Third Brother toe and pick you up. As Yun Wu spoke, the waiter had already brought the beer over.. Chapter 440 - 440: Who Said I Couldn’t Bear to Do It? Chapter 440: Who Said I Couldnt Bear to Do It? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The waiter skillfully opened the beer and poured it into two sses for Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu. Come, lets toast. Yun Wu raised her beer ss at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu calmly raised her ss and toasted Yun Wu. She felt that Yun Wu had something on her mind. Yun Wu was usually a self-disciplined person. She was very strict with herself and rarely drank. Lin Shanchus phone on the table vibrated. Huo Xunzhou sent her a WeChat message. Huo Xunzhou: [Have you had dinner?] At that moment, a waiter came over with a te of grilled food. Lin Shanchu took a photo and sent it to Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu: [ [Image] Ive already eaten dinner. This is the third round.] Yun Wu was really a big eater. After the main meal, they went to the Gourmet Street and ate a lot of snacks. Now, they were here to eat barbecue. Huo Xunzhou: [] Yun Wus appetite had always been a mystery, and even Huo Xunzhou admired it. Huo Xunzhou sent another message: [Send me the address. Ill pick you two up after Im done here.] Lin Shanchu directly sent him the address. When Lin Shanchu put down her phone, she looked up and met Yun Wus deep gaze. Yun Wu asked, Is it Third Brother? Yes. Stop chatting with him. Lets drink. Yun Wu poured her another ss of beer. The dishes they ordered were served one after another. The two of them ate and drank slowly, chatting casually. When Lin Shanchu reached into the case to get the beer, he realized that there was only one bottle left. Lin Shanchu was a little dumbfounded. Had she and Yun Wu drunk so much beer without realizing it? No wonder Yun Wu stuffed the pig trotter into his nostrils when she was eating it. She thought that Yun Wus hands were shaking, but it turned out that she was drunk. Lin Shanchu did not take the beer. Instead, she looked up at Yun Wu and said, Ill stop drinking. Yun Wus face was red as she gestured with her finger and said, Drink a little bit more. No, Huo Xunzhou will pick us upter. Lin Shanchu seriously rejected Yun Wus request. Yun Wu muttered, Third Brother ising Then, her mouth twitched. Im sorry, Third Brother. Boo-hoo She was fine just now, but why did she suddenly cry? Whats wrong? Lin Shanchu pulled out two tissues and leaned over the table to wipe her tears. If it werent for me, Third Brother wouldnt have gotten into a car ident and sat in a wheelchair for so long. Boo-hoo Yun Wu was really drunk. Her speech was a little slurred and her voice was soft. Lin Shanchu was close to her, but she had to move closer to listen carefully to hear what Yun Wu was saying. It turned out that she was talking about Huo Xunzhous car ident. Was this incident rted to Yun Wu? However, Huo Xunzhou hid the fact that his leg was injured back then, so Lin Shanchu was unable to tell Yun Wu directly that he was pretending to be in a wheelchair. Its all in the past, Lin Shanchu said after careful consideration. Yun Wu shook her head. Third Brother advised me not to stay away from Huo Chaosheng, but I didnt listen to him Yun Wu was so drunk that she was muddle-headed and talked incoherently. From her intermittent speech, Lin Shanchu could vaguely deduce how Huo Xunzhou got injured back then. Huo Chaosheng probably wanted to target Yun Wu, so Huo Xunzhou went to save Yun Wu and got into a car ident. Later, Huo Xunzhou pretended to be disabled. When Huo Xunzhou rushed over, Yun Wu was still crying on the dining table. Huo Xunzhou nced indifferently at Yun Wu and sat down beside Lin Shanchu. How much did you drink? he asked Lin Shanchu with a frown as he looked at the empty bottle on the table. A little, Lin Shanchu said as she knocked on her ss and looked at Yun Wu, who was still crying with her head buried across the table. Yun Wu drank more. The barbeque restaurant was already warm as the heater was turned on. In addition, Lin Shanchu had drunk a lot of beer, so her face was very red with a thinyer of sweat on her forehead, wetting the small strands of hair on her forehead. I can tell. Huo Xunzhou took a tissue and slowly wiped her sweat. Dont you care about Yun Wu? Lin Shanchu blinked and held Huo Xunzhous hand. She ate so much. Crying will help with digestion. Huo Xunzhou pushed her hand away, wiped her sweat and ruffled her hair. Only then did he divide his attention and look at Yun Wu across the table. Whats wrong with Yun Wu? She said she was sorry for you. Lin Shanchu noticed the look of realization sh across Huo Xunzhous face. It seemed that Huo Xunzhou already knew what was going on. Huo Xunzhou turned to look at Lin Shanchu and asked for her opinion, Lets go home. Alright. Lin Shanchu nodded. Huo Xunzhou reached out to help Lin Shanchu up. Lin Shanchu waved her hand to indicate that she could stand up by herself. Go help Yun Wu up. Huo Xunzhou sized her up for a moment. When he saw that she looked sober, he got up and went to help Yun Wu across the table. Lin Shanchu thought that she was fine. However, she felt the spins when she got up. She almost fell down when she lifted her foot. Fortunately, when she bumped into the dining table, she quickly held onto the edge of the table and did not fall to the ground. She knocked over the tes and sses on the table with a loud thud. Huo Xunzhou looked up at her helplessly. Lin Shanchu blinked innocently as she said, Im not drunk, really. Im just a little dizzy. After Huo Xunzhou expressionlessly put the jacket on Yun Wu, he reached out to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu held his arm and walked over with small steps. Then, she hugged his arm tightly and leaned against him. Huo Xunzhou was holding Yun Wu tightly with the other hand. He was wearing thick winter clothes, so he grabbed the fabric at the back of Yun Wus waist and lifted her into the air. Lin Shanchu poked her head out to look at Yun Wu on the other side. Then, she eximed, Wow, Brother Xunzhou, youre so amazing. You lifted her up with one hand Huo Xunzhou raised his hand slightly and squeezed Lin Shanchus palm. Then, he tilted his head slightly and warned her. Do you want to be lifted up like that? Lin Shanchu quickly shook her head. She was a female celebrity. She did not want to be carried like that. If she was photographed, she would be embarrassed. It would be a princess hug no matter what, right? Satisfied with Lin Shanchus answer, Huo Xunzhou lowered his head and Lin Shanchu became smug immediately. She looked up at Huo Xunzhou and said, You cant bear to do it. They already walked out of the barbecue restaurant. Huo Xunzhou helped Lin Shanchu to stand in front of the car. He then bent down and threw Yun Wu into the rear seat of the car. After doing that, he walked up to Lin Shanchu and asked, Who said I couldnt bear to do it? As he spoke, he reached for Lin Shanchus waist with one hand. Lin Shanchu frowned and shouted, If you dare to lift me up, Ill bite you to death! Huo Xunzhou smiled faintly. The next moment, Lin Shanchu felt her entire body being lifted up.. Chapter 441 - 441: “Save Me ll Was Written All Over His Face Chapter 441 - 441: Save Me ll Was Written All Over His Face Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu instinctively reached out and wrapped her arms around Huo Xunzhous neck. Huo Xunzhou carried Lin Shanchu horizontally and ced her in the passenger seat. He then helped her fasten the seatbelt. However, he did not leave immediately after doing all this. He had one hand on the back of the seat and the other on Lin Shanchus side, wrapping Lin Shanchu tightly in his embrace with his broad body. Shanshan, you are right. I really cant bear to part with you. He whispered into Lin Shanchus ear, causing her face to turn even redder. She was extremely cute. Huo Xunzhou couldnt help but lean over and kiss her on the cheek. Lin Shanchu leaned forward, trying to kiss him as well. As a result, Huo Xunzhou kissed her and bit her gently on the cheek. Covering her face, Lin Shanchu eximed, You bit me! Why are you like this? Huo Xunzhou looked at the faint teeth marks on her face and smiled. Then, he leaned over to kiss her again. Lin Shanchu covered her face and shook her head to avoid his kiss. Pervert! Huo Xunzhouughed and coaxed her in a low voice. Im not going to bite you anymore. Just a kiss. You scheming man, I dont believe you! Lin Shanchu was still covering her face with both hands, not showing any intention of letting go of them. Huo Xunzhou smiled and grabbed her hands. At this moment, the two of them heard movement in the rear seat. Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu looked at each other and turned to the rear seat. When they looked at the rear seat, they met Yun Wus round eyes. When Yun Wu was drunk, she reacted slower than usual and had slurred speech. She gestured as she spoke, I saw it. You two were kissing. Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds before she said softly, Beat her unconscious. Beat who? Yun Wus head was buzzing, but she could only clearly hear the first word in Lin Shanchus speech. Dont beat Yun Wu, sob Yun Wu whimpered and retreated to the rear seat, but she instantly fell back to the seat because of light-headedness. In the next second, she stopped making any sound. Lin Shanchu turned her head to look at Yun Wu in confusion. She fell asleep again, Huo Xunzhou said after closing the car door. He got into the car from the other side and sat in the drivers seat. This ce was a little far from the Yun familys house. If they drove there now, they would arrivete at night and disturb the old mans rest. Therefore, they directly took Yun Wu to Lin Shanchus house instead of sending her back to the Yun family. Huo Xunzhou called the Yun family on the way and told them about it. When they arrived at Lin Shanchus house, Number 1357 suddenly jumped in front of her as soon as she got out of the car. Shanshan, youre back! Why are you here? I sensed that you wereing back, so I came down to pick you up. Number 1357 had an expression that said, Did I do well? Without waiting for Lin Shanchu to speak, he leaned his face against the window of the rear seat to look inside, as if he suddenly noticed something. Yun Wu is here too! He sounded excited. Lin Shanchu frowned and kicked Number 1357 away. Shanshan, why did you kick me? Number 1357 looked aggrieved after he was kicked. Because you look like a pervert now. Lin Shanchu snorted. Speechless, he was just a little happy to see Yun Wu and his daughter. After ncing at Number 1357, Huo Xunzhou opened the car door and took Yun Wu out. Then, he stretched out his other hand to hold Lin Shanchus hand. Lets go. Lin Shanchu leaned on Huo Xunzhou and walked into the house. Number 1357 followed them silently and asked, Shanshan, do you need me to help you? No need. Lin Shanchu smiled at him with narrowed eyes. When they reached home, Yun Wu woke up in a daze after Huo Xunzhou threw her onto a sofa. This is not my home. I want to go home Yun Wu struggled to get up from the sofa. Huo Xunzhou held her down and said, Behave yourself. Third brother Yun Wu looked up and squinted at Huo Xunzhou for a long time. After confirming that he was Huo Xunzhou, she started crying again. Im sorry, Third Brother. Boo-hoo Lin Shanchu was already dizzy, and Yun Wus crying made her head buzz. Ill go take a shower first. Lin Shanchu said as she supported herself against the wall and slowly walked towards the bedroom. Huo Xunzhou wanted to help her up, but Yun Wu grabbed his leg while rolling on the ground. Yun Wu knelt on the ground and hugged Huo Xunzhous leg tightly, crying and repeatedly apologizing to him. Huo Xunzhou struggled hard but couldnt break free of her grasp. She was still so strong even when she was drunk. Did his sister practice dancing or martial arts all these years? Lin Shanchu slowly came out of the shower, whereas Yun Wu was kneeling on the ground and hugging Huo Xunzhous leg tightly. On the other hand, Huo Xunzhou was tired of standing and was sitting on the sofa expressionlessly. When he saw Lin Shanchue out, he called out as if he had seen his savior. Shanshan His originally expressionless face became full of emotions. Save me was written all over his face. It was rare for Huo Xunzhou to be in such a wretched state. Lin Shanchuughed unkindly. Pfft! Huo Xunzhous face darkened as he looked at her with his beautiful charming eyes. There was no emotion in his eyes, but Lin Shanchu could feel his grievance. Whats wrong with Yun Wu? Lin Shanchu stopped smiling and walked toward him. Huo Xunzhou looked down at Yun Wu and sighed softly. Shes been brooding over my car ident. Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Xunzhou was going to tell her everything. She sat cross-legged on the sofa, propping her chin up as if she was listening attentively. She looked very obedient. Huo Xunzhou reached out to touch her head before he continued speaking. When I first returned to the Huo family, Chaosheng was unusually close to me. At first, I didnt understand why he did this. After spending some time with him, I realized that his personality was a little different from ordinary people. He was so close to me probably because he felt that it was very novel to have a brother all of a sudden. At that time, I hadnt retired from the industry. He was also busy with work. We didnt spend much time together, so we were living together in harmony. I only realized that Yun Wu was his dance teacher before I went overseas to receive the award. I was worried that something would happen to Yun Wu, so I advised her to quit her job as a dance teacher. However, Yun Wu didnt listen to me at that time. Huo Xunzhou stopped talking and looked at Yun Wu. Lin Shanchu listened attentively to his exnation. Everything was normal up to this point, but unfortunately, Huo Xunzhou encountered the car identter. Lin Shanchu asked, What happened after that? Chaosheng imprisoned Yun Wu. What? Lin Shanchu took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. Huo Chaosheng, what a pervert! I searched for several days but couldnt find Yun Wu. He let his guard down only when I was going to receive the award with great fanfare. And then I found Yun Wu, but he caught up with me when I left with her. You know his personality. He does thing without caring about the consequences, so he got into a car identter.. Chapter 442 - 442: So I Don I t Have Time Tonight Chapter 442 - 442: So I Don I t Have Time Tonight Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After hearing Huo Xunzhous words, Lin Shanchu nodded and stared intently at him with her clear eyes, as if she had something to say. What do you want to ask? Huo Xunzhou bent down slightly, leaned over and touched her forehead affectionately. Lin Shanchu sat up straight and asked seriously, Were your injuries serious at that time? More than a year had passed, and he looked no different from a normal person. At that time, Huo Xunzhou was so popr that both domestic and foreign media reported his car ident. In those few days, Huo Xunzhous car ident was all over the news. It was hard for Lin Shanchu not to see the news. She neither knew Huo Xunzhou nor had any interactions with him back then, but still she felt sorry for him. He was the young Best Actor that countless people dreamed of. It would be a pity if he were to die young like this. The photos of the car ident scene looked very horrifying, so no one was surprised when the news of Huo Xunzhou being paralyzed spread. I was lucky. Huo Xunzhou said casually, Its just a few stitches and a minor fracture, so I recovered quickly. Indeed, a few stitches and bone fractures were not seriouspared to the paralysis. However, a few stitches and a fracture were not considered minor injuries for a normal person, Lin Shanchu leaned forward and plunged into his arms. Im really fine, Huo Xunzhouforted her in a low voice while hugging her. Then, you pretended to be disabled to make Huo Zhuxiu lower his guard? Lin Shanchu asked in a muffled voice as she leaned into his embrace. Yes. Huo Xunzhou was really patient. He was not exposed after pretending to be disabled for such a long time. The two of them quietly hugged each other for a while until Yun Wu fell to the ground with a thud in her sleep. Only then did they remember that Yun Wu was still present. When Huo Xunzhou saw Yun Wu let go of his hand, he heaved a sigh of relief. He then carefully moved his legs away. Ill leave Yun Wu to you, Shanshan, he said with a serious expression only after he was sure that he was keeping a safe distance from Yun Wu. Alright. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and smiled. Lin Shanchu had already sobered up after taking a shower just now. When she helped Yun Wu to the guest room, Yun Wu made a fuss about taking a bath. She could not even stand properly, yet she still insisted on washing herself. Lin Shanchu turned on the water and stood by the side to watch Yun Wu take a bath as she worried that Yun Wu would slip into the bathtub and drown herself. After taking a bath, Yun Wu stumbled and changed into the pajamas, Only then did Lin Shanchu close the door and leave. She pushed open the door to her bedroom and saw Huo Xunzhou in a bathrobe leaning against the headboard, looking at his phone. Huo Xunzhou looked over upon hearing themotion. Is Yun Wu asleep? Yes. Lin Shanchu trotted to the side of the bed and squinted at him. Teacher Huo, youre getting more and more adept at climbing into my bed. Huo Xunzhou put his phone aside and reached out to pull her over. I cant help it. My girlfriend is too cute. Lin Shanchu bit his neck. She could feel Huo Xunzhou tensed up as his entire body stiffened. Lin Shanchu looked up at him with brightened eyes. Huo Xunzhous face darkened as he covered her eyes and said without any rhyme or reason, Its New Years Eve the day after tomorrow. Hmm? Lin Shanchu did not understand why he suddenly said this. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow. So I dont have time tonight. Dont have time? Lin Shanchu could not keep up with his train of thought and subconsciously repeated herself. Before she could think about it, Huo Xunzhou had already dragged her aside and stuffed her under the nket. Sleep. Huo Xunzhou turned off the lights after finished speaking. He pulled her into his arms in the darkness. After the room waspletely silent, Lin Shanchu slowly realized what Huo Xunzhou meant just now. Lin Shanchu did not understand him, so she bit his finger in confusion. Was it something that required a lot of time? The mans deep voice suddenly sounded behind her ear. Whats in your mind? Nothing! She answered too quickly, making her seem even more guilty. Huo Xunzhou chuckled. I know what youre thinking. Lin Shanchu was a little embarrassed as she replied, You dont know. I just know. He suddenly pressed his lips against hers right after his voice trailed off. The next morning, Huo Xunzhou still woke up on time. Before he left, he went back to the bedroom to check on Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu felt someone kissing her while she was dazed with sleep. Before she opened her eyes, she heard the mans low and gentle voice. Im going to thepany. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes drowsily and her voice sounded soft after she just woke up. What time is it? Its almost 8:00 a.m. Huo Xunzhou kissed her forehead again and said, Ill pick you up after work tonight and take you back to the Yun family for New Years Eve. Okay. Lin Shanchu nodded obediently. Huo Xunzhou looked at her and did not really want to go to thepany. Lin Shanchu suddenly thought of something else. By the way, Auntie sent us some clothes two days ago. Do you want to try them on before you leave? Huo Xunzhous expression froze as he asked, She sent them to your house? Judging from his expression, Lin Shanchu could tell he was well aware of what kind of clothes his aunt had sent over. Yeah! Lin Shanchu felt that she was a little perverted now. She especially loved seeing Huo Xunzhou angry and frustrated. She excitedly jumped out of bed and went to the walk-in closet to take out the two sets of clothes that his aunt had given her. She ced the clothes on the bed to show them to Huo Xunzhou. They are bright red and very festive! Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips and replied, Yeah. Lets try it on. Lin Shanchu picked up the clothes and made a gesture at his body. Huo Xunzhou looked unwilling, but he did not reject her probably because he did not want to spoil her mood. Lin Shanchu coaxed him by asking softly, Dont you think they look like couple outfits? Huo Xunzhous expression softened when he heard her words. Huo Xunzhou left after trying on the fitting outfit. When Lin Shanchu finished washing up and went out, Yun Wu was sitting on the sofa in the living room and moving around like she was on pins and needles. Yun Wus eyes lit up when she saw Lin Shanchu. Sister-inw Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows. Yun Wu usually did not address her as Sister-inw. She did not address her as Sister-inw for the sake of honorific, but to please her. Your Third Brother went to thepany a long time ago, Lin Shanchu reminded her with a faint smile. Really? Yun Wu revealed an expression as if she had just survived a disaster. What are you afraid of? Lin Shanchu said slowly. No matter how angry your Third Brother is, he wont kill you, right? Yun Wu replied helplessly, Can you not talk about such gory things early in the morning? Yun Wu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lin Sanchu with a strange and iprehensible expression. Why did Third Brother go to thepany so early? Its not early. Its already past eight oclock. He clocked in at thepany on time today. He would bete if he went outter. Huo Xunzhou had always been punctual. He had plenty of time at first, but he ran out of time after she asked him to try on the outfit.. Chapter 443 - 443: Don’t Get Caught Doing Anything Illegal Chapter 443 - 443: Dont Get Caught Doing Anything Illegal Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Yun Wu heard Lin Shanchus exnation, she frowned with aplicated expression and wanted to say something but hesitated. Crossing her arms, Lin Shanchu sat down next to Yun Wu and sized her up. What are you trying to say, Yun Wu? Third Brother is kind of inconsiderate. Yun Wus gaze wandered around Lin Shanchus neck. Lin Shanchu reached out to touch her neck with a puzzled expression. Yun Wu pointed at the side of Lin Shanchus neck and reminded her, Here. Lin Shanchu picked up the phone and slightly tilted her head sideways to check the side of her neck through the turned off screen. There was an obvious red mark there. It was eye-catching and ambiguous on her fair neck. When was the mark left on her neck? Lin Shanchu thought about it for a moment. Huo Xunzhou probably did itst night. Huo Xunzhou kissed her for a long time, but he did not make advances to her. Ahem! Lin Shanchu cleared her throat and pulled up her cor. Its not what you think. Yun Wu widened her eyes and leaned over, lowering her voice as if she was talking about some unspeakable secret. You two didnt do it? No Lin Shanchu did not know why she was discussing this kind of thing with Yun wu. She was about to end the conversation and get up to eat breakfast. As a result, Yun Wu asked shockingly, Is there any problem with Third Brothers body? Lin Shanchus expression froze. I dont think so. Her tone was filled with uncontroble hesitation because she also suspected Huo Xunzhou in this way. Yun Wu noticed the hesitation in Lin Shanchus tone and looked like she was afraid of being killed, as if she had discovered some shocking secret. Sleeping in the same bed with such a beautiful girlfriend, he only kissed her a few times and did nothing else. Was he still a man? However, Huo Xunzhou looked quite healthy. Yun Wus expression quickly turned gloomy again as she thought of something. I knew it. It must be because of that car ident. Its all my fault Again? Lin Shanchu quickly pulled Yun Wu up from the sofa and said, Lets go have breakfast. Sitting at the dining table, Yun Wu still looked dejected and said, I have no appetite. Yun Wu could not even eat breakfast, which showed the seriousness of the matter. You werent at fault for what happened to your Third Brother. Lin Shanchu said seriously, Lets have breakfast and well talkter. Huo Xunzhou had confessed to her about the car identst night, so he would probably find time to tell Yun Wu about it and untie the Imot in her heart. Huo Xunzhou was a case of cold hands, warm heart. On the surface, he was fierce to Yun Wu, but he actually doted on his sister from the bottom of his heart. He would not allow Yun Wu to suffer like this. Yeah. Only then did Yun Wus expression rx. She picked up the chopsticks and began to eat breakfast. Morning! Number 1357 came to the dining room with dark circles under his eyes. Uncle, what did you dost night? Yun Wu asked as she looked at his obvious dark circles. Binge-watched drama. Number 1357 scratched his head in embarrassment. Lin Shanchu raised her head and nced at Number 1357. Why do you always stay upte to binge-watch dramately? Cant you watch it during the day? I cant help it. I want to finish it quickly. Did the system have such terrible self-control? Yun Wu looked back and forth between Lin Shanchu and Number 1357 in confusion. She Imew nothing about Number 1357, but she felt that Lin Shanchu was a little fierce to her uncle. Although the uncle was just a few years older than Lin Shanchu, he looked authoritative in front of Lin Shanchu, and she wasobedient to him. But now, the two of them seemed to have switched roles. The authoritative person became Lin Shanchu. Not only was the uncle not as domineering as before, but he was also being lectured by Lin Shanchu like a child. How strange. Lin Shanchu stopped talking, whereas Number 1357 sat down obediently to eat breakfast. Yun Wu felt a little pain in her neck when she drank the soy milk. How did I get homest night? she asked Lin Shanchu. She drunk too muchst night and had no recollection of what happened after that. She only vaguely remembered that she had hugged Huo Xunzhous leg and bawled. That was why she was so guilty and afraid when she woke up early in the morning. Lin Shanchu directly omitted the process and said vaguely, Your Third Brother sent you back. Yun Wu touched her neck and asked puzzledly, Then why does my neck hurt a little? What else could it be? Of course, it was because Huo Xunzhou carried her all the way back with the cor around her neck. Lin Shanchu blinked. Her tone sounded as serious as it could be. Im not sure either. How about you go consult a doctor? Yun Wu shook her head and replied, No need. I might have hurt my neck because I slept in the wrong positionst night. Lin Shanchu had to go to the Yun familys house at night, so she stayed at home to pack her luggage in the afternoon. After she went to the Yun familys house to celebrate New Years Eve, she would probably stay there for a few more days. Yun Wu helped Lin Shanchu pack up. Seeing Number 1357 standing at the side, she said, Uncle,e with us. Im not going. I want to go out and have fun during the New Year. Number 1357 was no longer the same Lin Suguang as before. He was not interested in such festivals involving human reunion. Its the New Year, why are you going out alone? Shanshan, dont you think so? As Yun Wu spoke, she turned to look at Lin Shanchu, hoping that she would persuade Number 1357 as well. As a result, Lin Shanchu threw a card at Number 1357. No need to save money for my sake. I have money. Just y whatever you want, but dont get caught doing anything illegal. Alright. Number 1357 caught the card and nodded happily. Yun Wu was speechless. Number 1357 took the bank card and happily went to the living room to binge-watch drama. Yun Wu was puzzled as she asked, Shanshan, isnt it too lonely for your uncle to spend New Years Eve alone? Lin Shanchu smiled and replied, If he wants to spend New Years Eve alone, so be it. It will be fine. Although Number 1357 usually listened to Lin Shanchu, when it came to things he wanted to do, he would shamelessly ask her to agree with him. This time, he did not mention anything about taking him with her to the Yun familys house for New Years Eve. She thought that he probably did not want to go there. There was no need to force him to do something he was unwilling to do. Sometimes, the kindness of others would turn out to be a burden. Yun Wu said, Oh. Huo Chaosheng called Lin Shanchu right after she finished packing her things. After Lin Shanchu picked up the phone, Huo Chaosheng questioned her coldly, Lin Shanchu, we agreed to have dinner together after work. Are you trying to stand me up? No, Im not. She had almost forgotten about this promise. Huo Chaosheng shouted, I dont care! You have toe out and have dinner with me tonight! nced in the direction of the bathroom, Lin Shanchu said in a tone colder than Huo Chaoshengs, Im not free tonight. Lin Shanchu had a lot of clothes sent by the brand owners and had not unpack most of them. Yun Wu took a fancy to one dress just now and was trying it on in the bathroom. That pervert, Huo Chaosheng, had imprisoned Yun Wu before. Hence, she could not talk to him nicely. Huo Chaosheng was already used to Lin Shanchus attitude towards him. Its New Years Eve tomorrow. What are you busy with? Ill go to the Yun familys house to celebrate New Years Eve. Huo Chaosheng fell silent for a moment before he asked, Arent you and Third Brother going back to the Huo familys house to celebrate New Years Eve? Chapter 444 - 444: He Will Notice Them For Sure Chapter 444 - 444: He Will Notice Them For Sure Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Why do I have to go to the Huo familys house to celebrate New Years Eve? After asking the rhetorical question, Lin Shanchu continued, You make it sound like youre willing to go back to the Huo familys house to celebrate New Years Eve. Huo Zhuxiu treated Huo Chaosheng very well. However, judging trom the tact that Huo Chaosheng had lent her the car to hit Huo Zhuxiu, she could tell that he hated Huo Zhuxiu. This was probably one of the reasons that Huo Chaosheng was willing to get close to Huo Xunzhou. In Huo Chaoshengs unusual mind, he probably felt that he and Huo Xunzhou were of the same kind and sympathized with each other because they both hated Huo Zhuxiu. As for why Huo Chaosheng hated Huo Zhuxiu, Lin Shanchu guessed that it might have something to do with his unknown birth mother. If the rtionship between all the members of a family could not be mended, then there must be an unknown secret in that family. Youre so annoying! Huo Chaosheng was a little annoyed that Lin Shanchu had touched a sore spot with him. He usually loathed Huo Zhuxiu, so there was no way he would go back to the house to celebrate the festival with him. However, he would be reluctantly willing to make a trip back home if Huo Xunzhou took Lin Shanchu back to the Huo familys house. It was obvious that neither Huo Xunzhou nor Lin Shanchu would go to the Huo familys house. Lin Shanchu did not take him seriously as she said, Im hanging up. There was some movement in the bathroom. Yun Wu should have changed her clothes and was about toe out. Wait, you Huo Chaosheng hesitated for a long time before saying dejectedly, Forget it, Im hanging up. Lin Shanchu hung up the phone without saying anything. Knowing her temperament, Huo Chaosheng hurriedly said before she hung up, You owe me a meal! Remember that! Beep! The only response he got was a busy tone. Huo Chaosheng threw his phone aside and fell backward,nding heavily on the sofa. He had to spend New Years Eve alone again this year. Just as Lin Shanchu hung up the phone, Yun Wu walked out of the bathroom. Shanshan, what do you think? Yun Wu straightened her clothes and ran up to Lin Shanchu before spinning around. Not bad, Lin Shanchu praised as she sized Yun Wu up. Yun Wu happily stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself for a while before returning to the bathroom to get changed. Right after she walked into the bathroom, she turned around and poked her head out from the door to look at Lin Shanchu. Ill take this outfit then! Lin Shanchu pointed at the walk-in closet. There are unpacked clothes in there. You can try them on if you like them. If they suit you, you can take them away. Yun Wu did not stand on ceremony with her, so she went to pick out the clothes after trying on the outfit earlier. During this time, Lin Shanchu received a package. The package was sent by the wristwatch brand owner from before. She previously said that she wanted to give Yun Yi a wristwatch, so the brand owner generously sent her a product catalog for her to choose from. Lin Shanchu choose a bunch of them without hesitation. She chose one for each member of the Yun family as New Years gift. Some were limited edition, so the brand owner even specially transferred the goods from the head office. All the wristwatches arrived today, so they were sent together to her. When Yun Wu came out after trying on the clothes, Lin Shanchu was opening the gift box. She leaned over curiously and asked, So many wristwatches? Dont look, Lin Shanchu said with a smile as she closed the box. Theres mine, isnt there? Yun Wuughed. As expected, she obediently stopped looking at the box and continued to try on the clothes. After that, Lin Shanchu received a call from Qi Cheng, saying that he had received many gifts from brand owners and that he would find time to send them to her. Lets talk about it after the New Year. Huo Xunzhou would being to pick her up after workter. She would not be home for the next few days and had no time to unbox them, so they would beid there after they were delivered. Alright, well talk about it after the New Year. Qi Cheng knew that Lin Shanchu was going to spend the New Year with Huo Xunzhou at the Yun familys house, so he did not say anything else. Huo Xunzhou got off work on time today because he had to rush back to the Yun familys house. When he reached home, Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu were watching a movie in the living room. Huo Xunzhou quietly walked behind them without disturbing them. Lin Shanchu was the first to notice him. Youre back? Huo Xunzhou nced at the luggage beside him and asked, Have you packed your things? Yes. Lin Shanchu nodded. Huo Xunzhou asked, Are we leaving now or after the movie? He had seen the movie that Lin Shanchu and Yunwu were watching. It would end in twenty minutes. Yun Wu, we Lin Shanchu turned around to ask for Yun Wus opinion, but she realized that Yun Wu, who was originally sitting beside her, had silently moved to the furthest corner of the sofa. Yun Wu curled up in the corner of the sofa, looking as if she hoped that Huo Xunzhou did not see her. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and looked calmly at Yun Wu. I wont beat kids during the New Year. Yun Wu was speechless. Did that mean he could beat kids and settle score with her after the New Year? Huo Xunzhou sounded serious even though he was obviously joking. Lin Shanchu found it funny andughed out loud. She smiled and the atmosphere eased up. Yun Wu moved back to Lin Shanchus side. Im fine with anything. Do you want to leave now, Sister-inw? Or do you want to leave after watching the movie? She had long understood the reality that her sister-inw was the most reliable lifesaver. Lin Shanchu noticed that Yun Wu had changed the way she addressed her to Sister-inw. Lets go now. Its a little far. If we go back now, we can make it in time for dinner. Great! After Yun Wu responded, she got up and went to get her luggage. She came empty-handed, but in the afternoon, she tried on many clothes at Lin Shanchus ce and packed a bagful of them. Yun Wu carried the bag of clothes on her shoulder with her left hand and Lin Shanchus luggage with her right hand as she ran out of the house. Number 1357, who happened to hear themotion outside, walked out and witnessea tms scene. Yun Wu, Ill help you carry them! How could her daughter let a petite girl like Yun Wu carry so many things? Bang! The response to Number 1357 was the mming of the shut door. Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment. Then, she turned to look at Huo Xunzhou and said, Look at how youve scared Yun Wu. You better exin to her about the car ident as soon as possible. Huo Xunzhou said confidently, I didnt scare her. She was speechless. It seemed that he was right. Huo Xunzhou did not show any signs of anger or wanting to settle scores with Yun wu. Yun Wu was scared of Huo Xunzhou in the past, so she was so timid. Lets go. Huo Xunzhou held Lin Shanchus hand and walked out. When he passed by Number 1357, he paused slightly and nced at him. After walking up to the door, Lin Shanchu turned around and reminded Number 1357, Remember what I said. Alright. Number 1357 hurriedly nodded, expressing his determination to be obedient. However, Lin Shanchu had a strange intuition. She felt that Number 1357 would go out and cause trouble. However, she did not know what he was up to. Lin Shanchu looked intently at him before turning to leave with Huo Xunzhou. Whats wrong? Huo Xunzhou asked her as they entered the elevator. He noticed the way Lin Shanchu looked at Number 1357 earlier. I think Number 1357 is weird. Do you want me to get someone to stalk him? Lin Shanchu thought for a moment, then nodded and shook her head. If you get someone to stalk him, he will notice them for sure.. Chapter 445 - 445: Only To Be Beaten Up Chapter 445: Only To Be Beaten Up Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Although Number 1357 did not look very smart, he was still a system with some special skills. If Huo Xunzhou sent an ordinary person to stalk him, he would definitely notice the stalker quickly and then shake off them. It would be equivalent to doing useless work. Huo Xunzhou also understood this point, so he did not continue to mention stalking Number 1357. Lin Shanchu stared at the elevators digital disy screen in a daze. Next to her, Huo Xunzhou suddenly said, Number 1357 probably wont do anything out of line. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou in surprise and asked, Why do you say that? Huo Xunzhou reached out to help her pull out the strand of hair that was hidden underneath her coat. Then, he said slowly, Because he really wants to help you. He did not have much interaction with Number 1357. Therefore, his understanding of Number 1357 was very limited. However, he believed in Lin Shanchu. After such a long time, Lin Shanchu still kept Number 1357 by her side. This fact was enough to prove that Lin Shanchu had trusted Number 1357 from the bottom of her heart. To Huo Xunzhou, Number 1357 was not out of line as long as he did not do anything to hurt Lin Shanchu. Really? Lin Shanchu was stunned. As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator door opened. Huo Xunzhou put his arm around Lin Shanchus shoulder and led her out. You know best whether Im right or not. His voice was low and gentle as he guided her. Lin Shanchu fell silent for a while before nodding her head. Huo Xunzhou was right. The fact that she did not chase Number 1357 away after such a long time indicated that she had subconsciously chosen to believe Number 1357. It was just that she had never thought about it. Number 1357 was not very smart either. During this long period of time, the only thing he did behind her back was y the video of Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan at Tang Qidais engagement party. He probably would not cause any big trouble. Thinking of this, Lin Shanchu felt much more rxed. On the way going to the Yun familys house, Yun Wu was afraid that Huo Xunzhou would suddenly mention what happenedst night, so she closed her eyes and yed dead. When they arrived at the entrance of the Yun residence, Yun Wu was the first to jump out of the car as soon as it stopped. The Yun family members were waiting for them at the entrance. Yun Jin and Yun Yi came over to help them carry their luggage. The old man stood at the entrance with his walking stick and waved at them. Shanshan, Xunzhou, its cold outside. Come in quickly. Lin Shanchu followed Huo Xunzhou and greeted the elders one by one before he led her into the house. The servants had already prepared the dishes. As soon as Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu arrived, the whole family was gathered. After dinner, Yun Wu ran back to her room. Lin Shanchu turned around and nced at Huo Xunzhou. Ill go look for herter, Huo Xunzhou said with a smile. When Huo Xunzhou went to look for Yun Wu, Lin Shanchu did not go with him. It was a knot in Yun Wus heart, so Huo Xunzhou just had to make it clear. It had nothing to do with her, and she would not be able to do anything even if she went with him. Huo Xunzhou walked up to the door to Yun Wus bedroom and knocked on it. Yun Wu, who was lying on the sofa ying on phone, raised her voice and asked, Whos there? Its me. Yun Wu was so familiar with Huo Xunzhou, so she naturally recognized his voice. She was so frightened that she did not dare to make a sound. Open the door. The three simple words were full of oppression. Yun Wu carefully opened the door and stuck her head out before she asked, Whats the matter, Third Brother? Lets chat, Huo Xunzhou said seriously. Didnt you say you wouldnt beat kids during the New Year? After taking a deeD breath. he frowned and asked. Am I that fierce? Yun Wu nodded honestly. Huo Xunzhou wanted to talk to her nicely at first. However, she did not know her ce and thought that he was very fierce. He did not say a word and his face darkened. Yun Wu was so scared that she opened the door. Huo Xunzhou walked in and sat down on the sofa. Then, he looked up and saw Yun Wu still standing by the door. Come here, he called her angrily. Oh. Yun Wu ced her hands behind her back and walked over obediently. Close the door! Huo Xunzhou looked at the wide open door behind her. Ill leave it open for some fresh air because the air venttion in the room is not good Yun Wu said with a vignt look. Huo Xunzhou sneered. So what if the door is open? If I really want to teach you a lesson, who else in this house can you count on to help you? There was no way that he could not see through Yun Wus little thought? She left the door open in the hope that the rest of the family would hear themotion and help her when he taught her a lesson. Yun Wu thought that Huo Xunzhou was right. Although she was the Little Darling of this family, Huo Xunzhou was the Big Baby of this family. No matter how she looked at it, she thought that she would only be beaten up.. However, she could not help but mutter, Sister-inw can help me What did you say? Huo Xunzhou did not hear her clearly because her voice was too soft. Its nothing. Yun Wu hurriedly denied it and turned around to close the door. Then, she walked over to Huo Xunzhou and sat down. Third Brother, why are you looking for me? she asked Huo Xunzhou while she was on pins and needles. The thing you mentioned repeatedlyst night, Huo Xunzhou said in a deep voice. Yun Wus expression changed slightly. Then, she lowered her eyes and pinched her fingers without saying a word. She drunk too much beerst night and recalled Huo Xunzhous car ident while chatting with Lin Shanchu. She knew Huo Xunzhou did not me her, but still she felt guilty all the time. Huo Xunzhous tone softened when he saw her like this. The injury I suffered at that time wasnt serious. It healed very quickly without any side effects. Huh? Yun Wu looked up in confusion. He had been in a wheelchair for so long, but it was not considered a side effect? My leg injuries have healed a long time ago, Huo Xunzhou exined patiently. I sat in a wheelchair all the time back then to make my father lower his guard. Yun Wu was smart, so she immediately understood what was going on. You pretended to be disabled back then? Yes. Yun Wu looked at him in shock and only came to her senses after a while. Were your legs really fine? she asked Huo Xunzhou doubtfully to get his confirmation. I only broke my ribs and arm at the time. Huo Xunzhou exined seriously, There were only some superficial wounds on my legs. Yun Wu sized Huo Xunzhou up for a while and then smiled. Its good that you are okay. Dont keep thinking about this incident in the future. You didnt do anything wrong. Even it that car ident had really turned him paraplegic, Yun Wu could not be med. The culprit was Huo Chaosheng. At that time, he gradually figured out what kind of person Huo Chaosheng was. However, what happenedter proved that he had underestimated Huo Chaoshengs extreme abilities. He had his own reasons for how things had developed to that extent. Yun Wu pursed her lips and still me herself. If I had listened to you at that time Huo Xunzhou suddenly interrupted her, Do you know where Shanshan and I first met? Yun Wu shook her head, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this question. In the hospital, Huo Xunzhou said with a smirk.. Chapter 446 - 446: Lin Shanchu Was Made a Scapegoat for No Reason Chapter 446: Lin Shanchu Was Made a Scapegoat for No Reason Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhous gentle gaze was mixed with a trace of distress when he recalled the first time he met Lin Shanchu. He knew that Huo Zhuxiu had sent people to spy on him. Therefore, he did not return to Capital City after returning to the country. Instead, he went straight to Xu City. Since he was pretending to be disabled, he naturally had to recuperate in the hospital. In fact, pretending to be disabled was not part of his original n. It was rumored that he was on the verge of death after the car ident. Even if he was saved, he would be paralyzed. Therefore, he went with the flow and sat in a wheelchair ording to the rumors. Everything seemed to be predestined. If it were not for the car ident, he might not have met Lin Shanchu in the hospital. Yun Wu toughened up and asked, You met Shanshan because of me? Huo Xunzhou was nomittal. Yun Wu suddenly felt that she was meritorious. Coupled with the fact that the knot in her heart had been untied, she feltpletely rxed. Once a person carelessly let their guard down, they would cause trouble. She remembered the conversation she had with Lin Shanchu in the morning. She reminded Huo Xunzhou tactfully, Third Brother, youre busy with work, but you should go for a checkup when you have time. Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes. He was puzzled but did not say anything. Yun Wu thought that he had taken her words to heart, so she continued, Youve been working so hard, and your body is prone to problems. Dont hide your illness for fear of treatment. Youre still young and can be cured. He could be cured? She sounded as if he had suffered some serious illness. What kind of illness do I have? Huo Xunzhou asked calmly. No, no, no Yun Wu quickly denied, Im not saying that youre ill. Im just concerned about your health. Many people nowadays dont even know that theyre sick For example? Huo Xunzhou looked at her expressionlessly and asked, What kind of illness people generally have these days but they dont know about it? Yun Wu noticed that things went south. She seemed to be in trouble. Its just an analogy. You dont have to go for a checkup if you dont have time. You look quite healthy. Yun Wu stood up and said, Ill go and check what Shanshan is doing. Shes not very familiar with the rest of the family and must be bored, so Ill go and apany her. Yun Wu knew that as long as she mentioned Lin Shanchu out, it would definitely work. However, it was her miscalction this time. Just as she turned around, Huo Xunzhous cold voice rang behind her. If you dont tell me what illness it is, you wont have a day off next year. Yun Wu had signed a contract with Tianzhou Media, so Huo Xunzhou could arrange her schedule in all aspects. She was really afraid of the days when she was as busy as a bee. She did not even have time to go out for a meal. Yun Wu stammered, Well you stayed at Shanshans housest night and went to work early in the morning Men were naturally sensitive to such a matter. Huo Xunzhou immediately understood what Yun Wu meant. His face darkened as he stared coldly at Yun Wu. Yun Wu shrunk her neck in fear, and quickly shifted the me onto Lin Shanchu. Actually, Shanshan is quite concerned about your health The art ofnguage was vividly disyed at this moment. She did not mention the further topic. However, the implicit meaning behind her words was clearLin Shanchu thought that he was impotent. Huo Xunzhouughed in anger. Yun Wu, you will have no day off next year. After saying that, he strode downstairs angrily. Yun Wu felt that she was innocent. Third Brother, why are you like this? Ive told you everything, but you still deducted my leave! She even shifted the me onto Lin Shanchu without hesitation. Unexpectedly, she still couldnt save her leave. Yun Wu was extremely upset. Lin Shanchu, who was made a scapegoat for no reason, knew nothing about the conversation between Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu. She was ying cards with Yun Yi and the others in high spirits. Four eights! There are no more cards! Lin Shanchu stretched out her empty hands and smiled proudly. Yun Yi put down the remaining cards in his hand. Then, he smiled and took out two pink notes before handing them to Lin Shanchu. Previously, Yun Jin said that he wanted to y cards and that it would be more fun to be yed for money, so they took out a stack of cash from the safe at home. Thank you, Big Brother, Lin Shanchu said as she took the money from Yun Yi. Yun Yi couldnt help butugh. He pushed the cards in front of Yun Jin and gestured for him to shuffle them. Pay up, 200 yuan. Yun Jin looked at the remaining 200 yuan in front of him and asked with a pained expression, Why do I have to pay 200 yuan? Isnt it 100 yuan per round? Lin Shanchu replied with a smile, You drew the joker, so it has to be doubled. Yun Jin handed over the remaining 200 yuan with a trembling hand. Yun Jin, shuffle the cards, Yun Yi chuckled as he held his forehead. Yun Jin was so sad that he was about to cry. Shouldnt the dealer shuffle the cards? Shanshan is the younger sister. You want her to shuffle the cards? Yun Yis tone was gentle and did not sound intimidating, but it gave off a undefiable vibe. Ill shuffle the cards! Lin Shanchu, who had earned 400 yuan, gathered all the cards together and started shuffling them happily. Yun Jin nced at Yun Yi carefully amd said, Shanshan wants to shuffle the cards. Yun Yi had an indifferent look on his face and did not say anything else. Do you want to continue? Lin Shanchu asked curiously when she saw Yun Jin sitting at the table without moving. Yun Jin nodded. Yeah. He would definitely win the next round! Lin Shanchu said, But you dont have money. Yun Jin replied, Lend me some money. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She really could not tell that Yun Jin was a gambler. However, he was terrible at cards. Big Brother, does Yun Jin speak with integrity? Lin Shanchu asked Yun Yi cautiously, Will he not pay back the money he owes? Yun Yi was amused by her serious expression. Dont worry. He wont dare not return the money he borrowed from you. Yun Jins face fell as he asked, Arent you guys rude for questioning my integrity in front of me? What a love-hate rtionship between the family members! Lin Shanchu lowered her head, picked up arge stack of money and handed it to Yun Jin. 3,800 yuan. Yun Jin thought that she was loyal when he saw that she kept only 200 yuan for herself. Therefore, he was a little touched as he said, Keep more money for yourself. No need. Lin Shanchu smiled innocently and said, Ill win the money back soon anyway. Yun Jin was speechless. In the end, he made the wrong decision. While drawing the cards, Lin Shanchu heard familiar footsteps behind her. The person walked quickly, but his footsteps were steady and powerful. It was Huo Xunzhou. She turned around with a smile and saw Huo Xunzhou striding towards her. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou with a questioning gaze. Huo Xunzhou looked at her meaningfully without a word and sat down beside her. Lin Shanchu felt that the way he looked at her was a little strange. He did not seem angry, nor did he look gentle. In short, it was a little strange.. Chapter 447 - 447: Proactive Chapter 447 - 447: Proactive Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu moved closer to Huo Xunzhou, trying to ask him how his discussion with Yun Wu went. Huo Xunzhou pointed at the cards on the table and said, Its your turn. Lin Shanchu quickly reached out and drew a card. You lost so badly? Huo Xunzhou asked with a faint smile as he flipped through the 200 yuan note in front of her. I didnt lose! Lin Shanchu raised her chin proudly and said, I lent the money to Yun Jin. When Huo Xunzhou looked at Yun Jin, Lin Shanchu added, I lent all the money to him. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. He just narrowed his eyes and clicked his tongue. Yun Jin could hear the mockery in the click. I will win back all the money I lost! Yun Jin clenched his fists and looked imposing. Yun Yi chuckled across the table. Lin Shanchu loved hearing Huo Xunzhou praise her. It was because introverted people were exceptionally sincere when they praised someone else. Even if Huo Xunzhou praised her as the most beautiful person in the world, she would think that he was telling the truth. Yun Wu, who had caught up with them, called out anxiously, Shanshan! Lin Shanchu already finished drawing the cards and was concentrating on sorting out her cards, so she only responded softly, Uh-uh. Yun Wus conscience still hurt a little after she had shifted the me onto Lin Shanchu, so she wanted to give her a reminder. However, Lin Shanchu only cared about sorting out her cards and did not pay attention to her. On the other hand, Huo Xunzhou was sitting next to Lin Shanchu, so she could not make it too obvious. Lin Shanchu began to y her cards. Huo Xunzhou turned his head and nced indifferently at Yun Wu. Yun Wu was initially conflicted about whether she should take the risk, but she lost all her courage after Huo Xunzhou nced at her. Compared to her friendship with Lin Shanchu, her life was more important. Yun Wu silently walked over to Yun Yi and sat down. She theny down on the table and watched them y cards. While ying cards, Yun Yi leaned toward Yun Wu and ced the cards in front of him before he asked in a low voice, What did you do? Huh? Yun Wu hurriedly denied, Nothing. Guilt is written all over your face, Yun Yi whispered to her. Big brother, dont ask anymore. Yun Wu sighed like an old man. She felt that her friendship with Lin Shanchu was about to be shattered. There was no man who did not care about his dignity. Huo Xunzhou was crafty. It was unknown what sinister tricks he would use to regain his dignity. Yun Wu silently prayed for Lin Shanchu, mourning for her in advance. Lin Shanchu was enthusiastic in the game of cards, ying one round after another. Yun Jin was also ying cards enthusiastically because he always felt that he would win the next round. Yun Yi lost two rounds and won two rounds, so he regained the money that he had lost in the end. The few of them yed cards untilte at night and Yun Jin lost all the money he borrowed from Lin Shanchu. After thest round ended, Yun Jin handed the remaining 100 yuan to Lin Shanchu and began to doubt his life. Why is my money gone? How did I lose so much money? Huo Xunzhou sleepily leaned on Lin Shanchu and cast azy gaze at Yun Jin. If you owe Shanshan money, just transfer it to her through WeChat. Its New Years Eve tomorrow. Dont carry forward this years debt to next year. Yun Jin felt hurt. Why dont youfort me after I lost all the money tonight? Are we still brothers? Besides, how can I not pay Shanshan back? Huo Xunzhou said, Transfer the money. Youre inhumane! Yun Jin red at Huo Xunzhou and took out his phone to transfer the money to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu epted the money Yun Jin transferred to her without hesitation. Are you sleepy? She turned to look at Huo Xunzhou, who was leaning on her shoulder. The lights were bright, making the womans face look even more radiant. Huo Xunzhous Adams apple bobbed. After raising his head slightly, he paused for a moment and leaned on her shoulder again. Yes. For some reason, Lin Shanchu felt that he was trying to ask for a kiss just now. However, there were many people at the scene, so he restrained himself in time. Ill stop ying. Im going back to sleep. Huo Xunzhou nodded and slowly straightened his body. Yun Wu came down from upstairs with her gaze fixed on Lin Shanchu. Youre done ying cards? She was a little sleepy before, so she went back to her room to wash up and sleep. She still felt guilty after she woke up, so she sneaked out to give Lin Shanchu a reminder. Yeah. Lin Shanchu got up and stretched her body. Its time to go back to sleep. Goodnight, Yun Wu. Yun Wu walked towards her. Shanshan, I dont know what to wear tomorrow. Can youe to my room and help me out? Auntie has already prepared the clothes for tomorrow. Tomorrow was New Years Eve, so everyone had to wear the bright red clothes prepared by Yun Wus mother. Lin Shanchu lowered her guard due to sleepiness, so she did not understand the implicit meaning behind her words. Shanshan Go back to sleep. See you tomorrow. Lin Shanchu yawned and left with Huo Xunzhou. Yun Wu felt that her conscience did not hurt as much. She felt that she had already done her best. Lin Shanchu was the one who did not listen to her. Yes, that was the case! Huo Xunzhou took Lin Shanchu to his room. Lin Shanchu, who had been feeling sleepy, was no longer sleepy all of a sudden. Why was this man so proactive today? Huo Xunzhou took out Lin Shanchus pajamas and put them in the bathroom. Then, he came out and urged her, Go take a shower. Oh Lin Shanchu walked towards the bathroom while looking at him curiously. After she slowly came out of the shower, Huo Xunzhou went into the bathroom. Her imagination ran wild as shey in bed waiting for Huo Xunzhou. As she thought about it, she fell asleep. When Huo Xunzhou came out, he walked to the bed and saw that she was asleep. Then, he tucked her in and kissed her before turning off the lights. Lin Shanchu slept until dawn. The curtains were very effective in blocking out light, and the room was pitch ck without a trace of light. She was still in a daze after she just woke up. She opened her mouth and asked, Are you done showering? As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the mans chest trembling slightly. The quiet room was filled with suppressedughter. What are youughing at? She looked up and could vaguely see Huo Xunzhous face. Huo Xunzhou had woken up once before. At that time, Lin Shanchu was still sound asleep, so he did not move and just looked at the time. It should be almost 8:00 a.m. now. The mans deep voice was hoarse and exceptionally sexy after he woke up in the morning. 8:00 a.m.? Lin Shanchu was stunned. Yes. To think that she had let her imagination run wildst night. She actually slept until dawn! And nothing happened! Huo Xunzhou enthusiastically took her to his room and urged her to take a showerst night, but he allowed her to sleep through the night! Chapter 448 - 448: What About Mine? Chapter 448 - 448: What About Mine? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu was brushing her teeth in front of the sink, staring at herself in the mirror. If something like this happened a few more times, she would really suspect that either she or Huo Xunzhou might be impotent. She insisted on pumping iron for the past six years. Everyone who had seen her said that her body curves looked more and more beautiful. When she posted selfies on Weibo, theizens who saw the post wouldment: [Cuddle Wife.] Therefore, she was definitely potent. Huo Xunzhou was definitely impotent. Lin Shanchu peeked through the mirror at Huo Xunzhou, who was brushing his teeth. He had such an impable face, superior intelligence and outstanding abilities. Perhaps God was jealous that Huo Xunzhou was too perfect, so he suffered from a hidden illness. However, she would not abandon him. Huo Xunzhou noticed that she was looking at him. You are going to overbrush your teeth, he said as he brought the mouthwash to her lips. Lin Shanchu came to her senses and reached out to take the cup. Then, she lowered her head and seriously brushed her teeth. When she put down the toothbrush, she noticed Huo Xunzhou, who had finished brushing his teeth, standing at the side and sizing her up. Lin Shanchu blinked and met his gaze. Huo Xunzhou bent down slightly and leaned closer to her with his eyes on the same level as hers. You look disappointed after you woke up in the morning. Did you have a bad dreamst night? There was an imperceptible smile in his eyes, but his tone was very serious. For a reason, Lin Shanchu felt that there was an implicit meaning behind his words. However, she couldn not tell what the implicit meaning was because he hid it a little too deeply. No. Lin Shanchu shook her head. Is that so? He did not seem to believe her. Before Lin Shanchu could reply to him, he straightened his back and said, Lets go eat breakfast. Lin Shanchu, who was led into the dining room by Huo Xunzhou, saw Yun Wu craning her neck to look at the door. Good morning, Third Brother! Good morning, Shanshan! Yun Wu curiously sized Lin Shanchu up. Huo Xunzhou pulled out a chair under the dining table. After Lin Shanchu sat down, he took the seat next to her. Yun Wu said tentatively, Shanshan, you seem to be in pretty good shape today Lin Shanchu touched her face and smiled. Is that so? Yeah. Yun Wu felt a little puzzled as she saw Lin Shanchus normal expression. Huo Xunzhou did nothingst night? Thats right. Huo Xunzhou had already forfeited all her holidays for the next year, so his anger should have quelled. Besides, he definitely could not bear to do anything to Lin Shanchu. Yun Wu sighed. As expected, she was the only one who got hurt in the end. After breakfast, Li MO came over. Li MO did not have any rtives, nor did he go anywhere during the New Year. Hence, Huo Xunzhou called him over to the Yun family to celebrate New Years Eve. Yun Jin slept until noon. When he saw Li MO, he ran over with sparkling eyes. Then, he pulled Li Mos arm and said excitedly, Li MO, youre here. Lets y cards this afternoon, shall we? Lin Shanchu could tell that things were not simple just by looking at his fighting spirit. Li MO was usually a man of few words, so he nodded obediently. Alright. Li MO is worse at ying cards than Yun Jin, Huo Xunzhou whispered to Lin Lin Shanchu was speechless. No wonder Yun Jin was so excited. After lunch, Yun Jin started ying cards. Donte over! Yun Jin said warily as Lin Shanchu nced at him. Lin Shanchu just wanted toe over and join in the fun at first. Hearing Yun Jins words, sheughed. The more people ying cards, the merrier it will be. Zhouzhou! Yun Jin shouted at the top of his lungs, Quickly take your wife away! Surprisingly, Huo Xunzhou stood up and walked towards Lin Shanchu. I have to stay up tonight to see the New Year in, so Ill head back to my room and rest for a while. He made a statement instead of posing a question. You will just stay up until 12:00 a.m. to see the New Year in. Although she rarely stayed upte, 12:00 a.m. was not consideredte. There was no need for him to catch up on sleep now. Huo Xunzhou smiled slightly and coaxed her in a soft tone. Rest for a while. Ill apany you. Apany her? She suspected that he was sleepy. Alright then. Yun Jin watched as Huo Xunzhou took Lin Shanchu away. He then let out a long sigh of relief and turned to call Li MO to start ying cards. Yun Yi was dealing with work in the study, so Yun Jin called Yun Wu over. Lin Shanchu slept until evening. Huo Xunzhou woke up first and was leaning against the headboard, looking at his phone. Youre awake. He put down his phone and patted her head. Lin Shanchu sleepily got up from the bed and sat in a daze. Huo Xunzhou got out of bed to get her clothes and put on her coat before pulling her out of bed. The sky is almost dark Lin Shanchu walked up to the window and looked up at the sky before ncing resentfully at Huo Xunzhou. Why didnt you wake me up? Huo Xunzhou seemed to be in a good mood with gentle eyes. It will be more tiring to stay up to see the New Year in. Lin Shanchu pouted and wondered how tiring it could be. When she left her house earlier, she brought the wristwatches she had prepared for everyone. Lin Shanchu could hear the voicesing from downstairs. Everyone was chatting lively in the living room. Lin Shanchu carried arge bag of gift boxes and handed them to everyone, including Li Mo. Li MO took the gift box and said delightfully, Thank you, Sister-inw. Everyone happily open the gift box on the spot and put the wristwatch on. They even kept praising her for her good taste. Lin Shanchu had the illusion that she had lived in the Yun family for a long time. However, Huo Xunzhou was somewhat upset. What about mine? His voice was a little lower than usual, as if he was a little disappointed. Lin Shanchu spread her hands and looked innocent. No more! Ive given out all of them! Huo Xunzhou kept quiet and iust stared at her with his beautiful charminz eyes, making Lin Shanchu feel guilty. She reached into the pockets on both sides of her coat and took out an exquisite gift box. Didnt you say you gave out all of them? Huo Xunzhou sat up slowly with a smile. Lin Shanchu said righteously, Yeah, everyone elses gift has been given out. The brand had recently released a set of New Years couple wristwatches. Lin Shanchu took a fancy to their festive color scheme at first nce. Even though she had already given Huo Xunzhou a wristwatch, everyone else got a gift for the New Year, so her boyfriend had to get one too. When Lin Shanchu opened the gift box, Huo Xunzhou already stretched out his wrist, indicating for her to put it on him. After she put it on Huo Xunzhou, he put thedies watch on her. During the New Years Eve dinner, Yun Jin made a fuss about taking photos when everyone raised their sses in celebration. Yun Jin took a photo of everyone raising their sses. Everyone was wearing the wristwatches given by Lin Shanchu, and the whole family ced the sses together neatly. Yun Jin posted the photo on his WeChat Moments after he was done taking pictures. Then, Lin Shanchu stole the photo on his WeChat Moments and posted it on Weibo. Half of theizens praised the sumptuous New Years Eve dinner and half of them praised the good-looking wristwatches. The brand owner immediately showed up at thements section to im that those wristwatches were under their brand. Lin Shanchu and the brand owner interacted for a while before putting down her phone.. Chapter 449 - 449: Treasure Chapter 449 - 449: Treasure Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The New Years Eve dinnersted for several hours before it ended. After that, they took out the card tables. Lin Shanchu rubbed her hands together and sat down in front of the card table with anticipation. Yun Jin yed cards with Li MO for the entire afternoon and won back all the money he lostst night. He also sat in front of the card table with an expectant look on his face. He and Lin Shanchu sat down at the same time. When Yun Jin, who was originally happy, saw Lin Shanchu sit down, his expression changed. Ill go to the next table. As soon as Yun Jin left, Huo Xunzhou and Yun Yi sat down. Li MO wanted toe over and watch Huo Xunzhou y cards, but Yun Yi stopped him. Dont go. They are all high-end yers over there. Its not suitable for you. Li MO replied, Im just going to take a look. No, you dont want to take a look! Yun Jin pressed him down in front of the card table and made him sit down. Big Brother Li MO looked at Huo Xunzhou for help. Huo Xunzhou was in a good mood, so he looked at him with a smile and said, All the money you lose today will be on me. Li MO revealed an expression of despair. It was not about the money. Mainly, he had lost the card game the entire afternoon and felt no joy at all. He wanted to run away, but he failed to do so. Yun Yi ced an exquisite safe on the table. He opened the safe in front of Lin Shanchu. A box of cash was ced inside it. Shanshan, it all depends on your ability whether you can let me call it a day early or not. He had a smile on his face and his tone was gentle, as if he was looking forward to losing all the money in the safe to Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchus eyes widened. Youre going to made such huge bet? Yun Yi smiled and began to deal the cards. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou whispered into her ear, Lets get Big Brother call it a day early. The few elders in the family were busy answering the phone just now. When they came in and saw them ying cards again, they walked over curiously. Yun Yi, your cards are terrible. His aunt looked at Yun Yis cards while eating melon seeds. Mom, dont look at my cards. Yun Yi paused. Patriarch Yun walked up to Yun Yis side after looking at Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhous cards. Jeez! Yun Yi, why do you have such lousy cards? They are really lousy! His uncle also came over when he heard those words. Madam Yun narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a while. Is Yun Yi going to lose the first round? Yun Yi said helplessly, Hurry up and go y your mahjong. The elders were excited and insisted on standing at the side to watch them y cards. The first round ended with Yun Yi losing. The elders went to y mahjong in satisfaction. Yun Yi had a bad start and did not win many rounds the entire night. It was not even midnight yet, but he lost the entire box of money. A rare relieved expression appeared on Yun Yis face. Lets call it a day! Huo Xunzhou called out to him, Big Brother, its still early! Yun Yi speechlessly red at him. His good brother and his wife had worked together to make him suffer a crushing defeat without showing any mercy at all. Money was not important, but he mainly felt a little embarrassed. Huo Xunzhou took advantage of the situation and yed dumb. Whats the big deal? Ill just return the money to you, alright? Lin Shanchu was embarrassed to take so much money from Yun Yi, so she quickly nodded. Yeah! Yun Yi smiled at Lin Shanchu and raised his eyebrows at Huo Xunzhou. Shanshan won the money with her own abilities. You dont get to make the call. Puzzled, she seemed to notice a hint of anger in Yun Yis tone, but he was not a petty person. Yun Yi stood up and went to Yun Wus table. Is Big Brother angry? Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou, confused. Hes just jealous, Huo Xunzhou said enigmatically. Huh? The jealousy of a single man. Lin Shanchu remembered Yun Yis nickname in the family chat groupSessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother. Big Brother and Ming Yao Huo Xunzhou interrupted her, Dont worry about Big Brother. You better worry about yourself first. He looked gentle with his eyes lowered as his slender fingers ran through her ck hair and gentlybed it to the back of her head. However, Lin Shanchu vaguely felt that there was a hidden meaning behind his words. Worry about myself? Lets go to Grandfathers table to take a look. Huo Xunzhou suddenly changed the topic and pulled her toward Patriarch Yun. Patriarch Yun was old after all. He slowly looked at other peoples tiles before slowly looking at his tiles. It would take a lot of time toplete a round. Lin Shanchu watched Patriarch Yun from the side, wishing that she could help him out. However, she was not very good at mahjong. After a few rounds, Patriarch Yun shouted that he was tired and stopped ying mahjong. Huo Xunzhou pulled Lin Shanchu to the mahjong table and said, Ill teach you. When Yun Jin learned that Lin Shanchu did not know how to y mahjong, he ran over excitedly. He thought that his chance for revenge had finally arrived. Shanshan is so smart. She must have learned it already, right? Lets try a round. Sure. Other than Huo Xunzhou, Lin Shanchu had never admitted defeat in front of anyone. Her confident look made Yun Jin hesitate. He remembered that Lin Shanchu was the top liberal arts schr in Xu City. Thump! The grandfather clock in the hall suddenly rang. It was midnight. Happy New Year! A low male voice sounded in her ear. Happy New Year. Lin Shanchu turned around and smiled. The Yun family had a tradition of giving out red packets during the New Year. Patriarch Yun and Madam Yun were the first to give out the red packets. Everyone queued up to receive them. After receiving the red packets from Patriarch Yun and Madam Yun, they could receive the red packets from the uncle and aunt. After that, it was Yun Yi and the others turn. The person who received the most red packetsst year was Huo Xunzhou. This year, it was Lin Shanchu. Yun Jin and Yun Wu did not give Huo Xunzhou any red packet this year, but they did give Lin Shanchu a red packet. Lin Shanchu had never had such a lively New Year, nor had she received so many red packets. There were so many red packets that she could hardly hold them. Huo Xunzhou, hold them for me! She ran to Huo Xunzhou with a pile of red packets in her arms. In the end, not only did Huo Xunzhou not help her, but he even stuffed another red packet into her arms. It was even bigger than the one the patriarch gave her. Lin Shanchu widened her eyes in surprise. After taking two steps back, Huo Xunzhou took out his phone to take a photo of Dnau. The woman in the photo was dressed in red and holding a pile of red packets. She had ck hair and fair skin, looking stunningly beautiful. Her eyes were wide open and clear, and her lively appearance made Huo Xunzhou want to treasure her. Why didnt you tell me when you took the photo? Lin Shanchu realized that Huo Xunzhou had just taken a photo of her and ran over. Show me. She did not really trust Huo Xunzhous photography skills as a straight man. Huo Xunzhou did not show it to her. Lets go back to sleep. Let me see the photo. Its very beautiful. Ill show you tomorrow. Alright then. The elders were a little tired after staying up until the wee hours of the morning, so they nned to go back to sleep. Yun Jin was still thinking of taking revenge at the mahjong table. Shanshan, why are you leaving? Come and y mahjong. Huo Xunzhou answered him, We need to rest.. Chapter 450 - 450: Come Here, I Will Tell You Chapter 450 - 450: Come Here, I Will Tell You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou still had his usual indifferent expression while saying ordinary words. However, Yun Jin could tell that something was off. He thoughtfully raised his eyebrows and dragged his voice. Oh Why did he have to emphasize we when he was going to rest? What a nasty couple! Hmph! Lin Shanchu bubbled over with delight after she won the card game for the entire night and received many red packets. She imitated Huo Xunzhous tone. Were going to rest. You guys have fun! Yun Jin was speechless. What a nasty couple! Huo Xunzhous bedroom was carpeted. Lin Shanchu kicked off her slippers as soon as she entered the room. Then, she ran to the carpet beside the bed and sat down, opening the red packets and counting the money. Huo Xunzhou, who was following her, carried the box of money she had won from Yun Yi and put her slippers in order before walking over. Go take a shower. You go first. Lin Shanchu was busy counting the money and did not even look up at him. Huo Xunzhou did not urge her anymore. He turned around and took the clothes into the bathroom. When he came out of the shower, Lin Shanchu had already opened all the red packets. Money was scattered all over the ground along with a diamond and a ck card. When Lin Shanchu saw Huo Xunzhoue out, she quickly picked up the diamond on the ground to show him. Auntie actually hid a diamond in the red packet containing cash! Huo Xunzhou squatted down and looked at it seriously for a while. Finally, he concluded, Its worth a lot of money. Grandpa also put a ck card inside the red packet! Lin Shanchu took out the ck card and showed it to Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou took the ck card from her hand. Then, he reached out to hold her waist and lifted her up from the ground. You should go take a shower. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and reluctantly looked at her money. Alright. She walked into the bathroom and closed the door. The next second, the bathroom door suddenly opened. She said seriously to Huo Xunzhou, Ive counted all my money and I have a good memory. Ill be able to find out if even a corner is missing! Huo Xunzhou felt that he might not be Lin Shanchus beloved Brother Xunzhou. Otherwise, why would she be so guarded against him? She made it seem like he would steal her money. Huo Xunzhou snorted. Go take a shower. Oh. Lin Shanchu felt that her words just now were a little too much. Blinking, she deliberately lowered her voice and said coquettishly, Brother Xunzhou, my money is yours. You can spend the 300 million yuan in my ount as you please. Huo Xunzhou cooperatively suppressed hisughter and said, But I dont need that much money. Just give me these. No! Lin Shanchus face fell as she rejected him outright. This was the first time she had received so many red packets. She had to keep them at home and would not give them away even if Huo Xunzhou wanted them! Huo Xunzhou finally understood her. He could spend the 300 million yuan in her ount as he pleased. She would not give him the red packets worth tens of thousands of yuan no matter what. Lin Shanchu came out of the bathroom and ran to the ce where she counted the money just now. Where are my red packets? she asked Huo Xunzhou when she found the ce was empty. Ive put them all away. Huo Xunzhou took advantage of her shower to collect all the red packets that she had opened and left all over the floor. He was afraid that she would continue counting the money after she came out of the bathroom. Judging by her current excited state, she would probably count the money until dawn if he did not put the red packets away. Huo Xunzhou was sitting on the sofa in front of the window and wearing a loose nightgown. He lookedzy yet sexy as the exposed cor revealed his beautiful neck and exquisite corbone. Lin Shanchu swallowed her saliva helplessly. He was really good-looking. Unfortunately, he had a hidden illness. She would think of a way to take this man to consult a doctor after the New Year! Huo Xunzhou waved at her and said, Come here. His gentle and slow tone was filled with bewitchment. Lin Shanchu suddenly thought that the red packets was not that important anymore. Wait a minute, Huo Xunzhou suddenly said as she was about to walk over. Go get a towel. Oh. Lin Shanchu took out a dry towel and handed it to Huo Xunzhou. She thought Huo Xunzhou wanted to use it for himself. After Huo Xunzhou received the towel, he pulled her into his arms and began to dry her hair. Lin Shanchu washed her hair when she took the shower just now. Huo Xunzhou had always been attentive to Lin Shanchus matters. He was also very serious when it came to drying her hair. He gently wiped her hair, making Lin Shanchu sleepy. Lin Shanchu turned around and sat opposite him. Hugging his neck, she buried her face in his shoulder and began to doze off. Are you sleepy? The mans gentle voice rang in her ears. Mm. Lin Shanchu answered in a daze. Didnt you sleep in the afternoon? the man asked softly. But its already midnight. Wasnt midnight the time to sleep? Huo Xunzhou did not say anything, but she could feel that he was drying her hair faster. Lin Shanchus hair was long and thick. The towel was still a little wet after he wiped her hair for a long time. Huo Xunzhou allowed Lin Shanchu to lean on him. After he carried her up, he ced her on the sofa. Where are you going? Lin Shanchu wrapped her arms around his neck when he let go of her. To get the hairdryer. Lin Shanchu finally let go of him. When Huo Xunzhou came over with a hairdryer to dry her hair, she felt a little more awake. She inadvertently turned her head and saw a bottle of red wine and two wine sses on the round coffee table. Where did you get the wine? She remembered that Huo Xunzhou did not bring any wine with him when they returned to their room. I went to get it, Huo Xunzhou answered, deliberately turning off the hairdryer. Why do you want to drink today? Lin Shanchu picked up the wine bottle and poured some wine into the ss. Her cancer had probably left a bad impression on Huo Xunzhou. Even though she was healthy now, Huo Xunzhou would restrain her when it came to drinking. She only poured half a ss of wine. Actually, this was not even enough for her. Huo Xunzhoubed her hair gently with his hand. After confirming that it was almost dry, he turned off the hairdryer and put it back in the bathroom. He sat down on the sofa chair on the other side of the round coffee table. Lin Shanchu eagerly pushed the ss of red wine toward him. When Huo Xunzhou raised the wine ss, Lin Shanchu raised her own ss and toasted him. After clinking sses, she took small sips, as if she could not bear to finish it all at once. During the New Years Eve dinner just now, she did not drink much because she thought that she still had to y cards at night. This wine was really fragrant. You can drink more tonight. Lin Shanchu looked up in surprise and met his deep gaze. Huo Xunzhou took the empty ss from her hand and poured her half a ss of wine. To liven things up, Huo Xunzhou said in a low voice. What do you mean? Lin Shanchu was even more confused. Huo Xunzhou held a wine ss in one hand and propped his head up with the other hand on the armrest of the sofa. His gentle and rxed eyes were breathtakingly beautiful. Come here, I will tell you.. Chapter 451 - 451: Shanshan, Since You Are in a Hurry… Chapter 451 - 451: Shanshan, Since You Are in a Hurry Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Based on Lin Shanchus understanding of Huo Xunzhou, he definitely had bad intentions when he took the initiative to show off his charm. When an introverted person showed his emotions, it was a very dangerous signal. However, his tone was too gentle. There was no room for Lin Shanchus resistance, as if she had been bewitched. She stood up involuntarily and walked towards him obediently. There was only a small round coffee table between the two of them. Lin Shanchu only took two steps to walk up to him. Huo Xunzhou stretched out his long arm and easily pulled her into his arms. The wine he had poured for her was still by her side. He took a sip from her ss before he held the back of her neck and kissed her. As their breaths intertwined, Lin Shanchu opened her mouth slightly and took a sip of wine. Mhmm She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she whimpered and was forced to swallow the wine. The long kiss ended. Do you still want to drink? Huo Xunzhou asked her in a husky voice. Lin Shanchus face was flushed as she red at him with watery eyes. Not only was she not intimidating, but Huo Xunzhou also had the urge to bully her. Are you embarrassed to speak? Huo Xunzhou caressed the ss with his slender fingers and continued, That means you want to drink more. I dont. Lin Shanchu reached out and covered her lips. Why did this usually serious man suddenly be so seductive tonight?! Oh, Huo Xunzhou replied indifferently. Then, he leaned down and began to kiss her hand covering her lips. The slightly warm sensation spread across the back of her hand like the tickling of a feather. The force was so light that it could almost be ignored, but it had a strong presence. He kissed her patiently with his deep gaze locked firmly on her body, making him seem domineering. Lin Shanchu had an illusion. She felt like a littlemb that had wandered into the territory of somerge beast, waking it up without realizing it. I want to drink more wine. Lin Shanchu covered her mouth with a low and muffled voice. Huo Xunzhou straightened his body and stepped back. He then reached out and took her wine ss. Ill drink it myself, Lin Shanchu quickly added. Huo Xunzhou handed her a ss of wine with a faint smile. Lin Shanchu looked at him warily before letting go of her hand. Then, she held the ss with both hands and observed his expression as she sipped on the wine. As she drank in a hurry, a little wine leaked from her lips and dripped onto her fair chin. Drink slowly. Huo Xunzhous voice was gentle. He reached out and wiped the wine off Lin Shanchus chin with his finger. A small amount of light red wine was rubbed on his fingertip. Huo Xunzhou brought his finger to his lips. Lin Shanchu watched helplessly as he licked the wine on his fingertip. Cough Cough, cough She choked on her wine in shock. Huo Xunzhou frowned and took the ss away from her hand before he handed her the ss of water he had brought earlier. After Lin Shanchu drank the water, the burning sensation in her throat lessened. She looked at the remaining half of the ss of wine and muttered, I havent finished it yet Huo Xunzhou looked overly gentle in front of her, but she dared not speak loudly for fear of provoking him. Dont drink anymore. Huo Xunzhou reached out and wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth. That would be a waste As Lin Shanchu spoke, she struggled to get off Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou saw her little actions without stopping her. Instead, he reached out and drank the wine in one gulp. Lin Shanchu took the opportunity to stand up. Im sleepy. I will Ah! After she heard the clear sound of the wine ss being mmed on the table, she was lifted up in the air. Lin Shanchu eximed as she wrapped her arms around Huo Xunzhous neck. Huo Xunzhou strode to the bed and threw Lin Shanchu onto it. Lin Shanchu did not get hurt at all after she thrown on to the soft big bed, but she was stunned. She propped her arms up and subconsciously wanted to get up. The tall man suddenly leaned forward with hisrge hands propped up on both sides of her body, staring at her with a burning gaze. Then, he slowly pressed down his body against her and gradually bent his sturdy and powerful arms that were propped on both sides of her body. The distance between the two of them was close. The air seemed to have be viscous. Lin Shanchu felt her cheeks burning probably because of the alcohol that she drank earlier. She did not even dare to breathe loudly as she spoke carefully, What are you doing To clear up some misunderstandings. The mans low and deep voice seemed to be tempting, making her unbearable for some reason. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead. He kissed his way down her forehead. The kiss was light, but it was gentle and sensational. Lin Shanchu felt as if she was now in a cooking pot with the gradually boiling water eating away at her consciousness and rationality bit by bit. It was sweet yet torturous. Her hands on her both sides involuntarily gripped the soft bedsheets. Huo Xunzhou looked up at her with his eyes as dark as the night. He reached out and gently caressed her red face, but then he could not resist the urge to lower his head and kiss her. The night is still young. Theres no hurry. His hoarse voice was filled with patience. The night was still young Lin Shanchu was a little scared. She blinked nervously and flinched as she put her hands in front of her chest. Its going to be dawn if we dont sleep Shanshan, since you are in a hurry The man began to take off her bathrobe with his slender fingers. I didnt mean it that way! Lin Shanchu abruptly held her bathrobe. Huo Xunzhou did not get angry. He let her hold the bathrobe tightly and lowered his head to kiss her. As they kissed, her hands gradually lost their strength and the mans slender and beautiful fingers moved up to the bathrobe again Huo Xunzhou was gentle and patient, whereas Lin Shanchu gradually lost control. In a daze, she vaguely heard Huo Xunzhou ask her, Shanshan, are you still thinking of taking me to the hospital for a checkup? Hmm? Yes Lin Shanchu blurted out the truth while she was muddle-headed. Next, a chuckle was heard. Shanshan, Im really touched that you care so much about me. His voice was still hoarse with a hint of a smile. However, Lin Shanchu keenly sensed the danger in that smile. What I mean is she exined as she managed to regain some of her rationality. However, the words she wanted to say were sealed by Huo Xunzhous kiss. The gentle and patient man just now began to be impatient. He looked domineering and assertive as he pressed down on her wrists with one hand, giving her no chance to retreat or reject him. After some time, Huo Xunzhou gently lifted Lin Shanchus sweaty ck hair and kissed her gently. Shanshan, when are you going to take me to the hospital for a checkup? Mhmm Lin Shanchu whimpered and shook her head. Why arent you saying anything? Huo Xunzhou whispered into her ear. You have to tell me the time first so that I can make arrangements in advance.. Chapter 452 - 452: Her Nasal Tip And Eyes Were Still A Little Red Chapter 452 - 452: Her Nasal Tip And Eyes Were Still A Little Red Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The mans maic voice assaulted her eardrums again and again with extremely strong prating power. He sounded so serious as if he really wanted to go to the hospital with her for a checkup. Lin Shanchu was exhausted and did not even have the strength to speak. You are not going to the hospital.. Her small voice sounded aggrieved- How can I not go to the hospital? Huo Xunzhou kissed her continuously and continued, You have take me to the hospital for a check-up. What if theres something wrong with my body? Lin Shanchu pouted and was about to cry. You meanie! She scolded him softly. She only suspected that there was something wrong with his body. He would wait for an opportunity to take revenge on her! Was there a need to do so for such a trivial matter? Shanshan, you still have the strength to scold me. It seems that you are quite energetic. Huo Xunzhou pressed his lips against hers again. Lin Shanchu shivered. Im not. Im not energetic at all. Im really tired. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou said gently, Its alright, have a good rest tomorrow. The Yun family had many rtives and family friends. After New Years Eve, everyone had to start attending banquets. Everyone woke up early in the morning on the first day of the New Year. Someone invited Patriarch Yun and Madam Yun for breakfast, so the two of them left the house early in the morning. Yun Wus parents had to leave the house to attend a banquet after breakfast. When they went to the dining room for breakfast, they saw that Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were absent. Where are Shanshan and Xunzhou? Yun Wus father asked, Did they go out so early? Li MO said immediately. They havent gone out. They are probably still sleeping. Li MO had the habit of waking up early to exercise. He woke up the earliest today and went out jogging. When he came back, he saw Huo Xunzhous car still parked in the parking lot at the entrance. After changing his clothes, he went downstairs and met Patriarch Yun and Madam Yun who were going out. Huh? Yun Wus father was taken aback. Are they sick? Yun Wus mother carefully looked around and thoughtfully nced at her husband. What illness are you talking about? Its the New Year. Isnt it normal for the kids to sleep in?! Yun Jin hasnt gotten up either, has he? How can Xunzhou be the same as our second son? Our second son is always idling around and likes to sleep in. Its normal for him not to get up! The more Yun Wus father spoke, the more he felt that he made sense. He turned around and looked at Yun Wu. Yun Wu, go check if your Third Brother and sister-inw are sick Yun Wus mother called out to her, Yun Wu, dont go! Yun Wu was speechless. She sat on the chair, not knowing whether to leave or not. Good morning, everyone. Happy New Year! Yun Jin yawned as he walked into the dining room. He sat down beside Yun Wu and picked up the chopsticks to eat breakfast, but he realized that everyone was staring at him. Only then did he notice that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the dining room. Yun Jin carefully put down the chopsticks and asked, Whats wrong? Why are you all looking at me? Yun Wu cleared her throat and asked, Second Brother, why are you up so early? I am hungry. I will go back to sleep after I am full. After finished speaking, Yun Jin looked around with a nk expression and asked, Wheres Zhouzhou and Shanshan? Yun Wu whispered, They havent gotten up yet. What time is it already? What are these two people doing? Its alreadyte, but why havent they gotten up Yun Jin suddenly fell silent as he spoke. The dining room suddenly fell silent that one could have heard a pin drop. After a brief exchange of adult nces, everyone had different expressions and tacitly picked up the chopsticks. Lets eat breakfast. Yeah, itll get cold if we dont eat it now. Try this. Its delicious. Its quite delicious. Everyone changed the topic as if they had never mentioned Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu. Yun Wus parents left the house after breakfast. Yun Jin, who initially said that he would go to sleep after breakfast, ran to the staircase and kept looking up. Yun Yis voice suddenly rang behind him. Why arent you going back to your room to sleep? What are you looking at sneakily? Yun Jin turned around and saw Yun Yi sitting on the sofa looking at him. Big Brother, didnt you say that you had to attend two luncheons at noon? If you dont go out now, can you make it in time? Yun Yi cleared his throat and said calmly, Its still early. Oh. Yun Jin walked to the sofa opposite Yun Yi and sat down. The two of them stared at each other and saw the understanding look in each others eyes. Yun Wu walked over and asked, Big Brother, Second Brother, why are you two sitting here? What are you doing here? Yun Yi and Yun Jin looked at her at the same time. I Yun Wu sat down on the corner of the sofa and stammered, Im waiting for Shanshan to get up and go out together Yun Jin dragged his voice and replied, Oh Yun Yi looked at her meaningfully. Yun Wu quietly lowered her head and yed with her fingers. Everyone knew very well why they were sitting here. After a while, Li MO walked over. The three people looked up at him in unison. Is there something on my face? Li MO scratched his head in confusion. The three of them shook their heads in unison and then looked away. Li MO felt that the atmosphere was weird. After he sat down on the sofa, he noticed that the three people were looking at the staircase from time to time. Li MO also imitated them and looked upstairs. Was there something upstairs? Oh, Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu were upstairs. In that case, were the three of them waiting here to find out when Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu woulde downstairs? It was fine if it was Yun Jin, but why were Yun Yi and Yun Wu doing the same? However, Li MO quickly understood their thoughts. In fact, he was curious about what time Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu woulde downstairs. However, it would be very embarrassing for the people to watch something like this, right? Li MO secretly took out his phone and sent Huo Xunzhou a WeChat message. Li Mo: [Big Brother, the three of them are waiting in the living room to find out when you guys will wake up!] A few minutes passed, but there was no reply from the other end. Just as Li MO was wondering if Huo Xunzhou was awake, Huo Xunzhou replied to his WeChat message. Huo Xunzhou: [Got it.] Li Mo: [Big Brother, youre awake?] Huo Xunzhou: [Yeah.] After Huo Xunzhou replied to the message, he put his phone on the bedside. Then, he gently lifted the corner of the nket beside him, revealing Lin Shanchus flushed face from sleeping soundly. Her nasal tip and eyes were still a little red. He had clearly controlled his strength, but still she cried a little hard in thetter half of the night. She felt wronged and wanted to soften him up. Everything else was fine. However, this matter was not negotiable. He gently pulled the nket down, revealing the mottled red marks on her fair neck. Huo Xunzhous gaze deepened. He then gently ced the corner of the nket against her chin, covering the marks underneath. The woman in her sleep frowned slightly and leaned into his arms. Huo Xunzhou turned over gently and pulled her into his arms before he reached out and stroked her back.. Chapter 453 - 453: Don ‘t Kiss Me Without My permission! Chapter 453 - 453: Don t Kiss Me Without My permission! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou caressed the womans back, and she fell asleep in his arms in no time. Sensing that Lin Shanchu had fallen asleep, he checked the time on his phone and sent Li MO a message. Huo Xunzhou: [Are they still there?] Li Mo: [Theyre all here, but President Yun has to attend a luncheon at noon. If he doesnt leave now, itll be toote.] Huo Xunzhou: He did not expect Yun Yi to be so bored. After thinking for three seconds, Huo Xunzhou put down his phone without hesitation. Forget it, he should sleep a little longer. He did not care about them. However, Lin Shanchu respected his eldest brother. It was better to wait until the eldest brother left. Lin Shanchu woke up from the heat. There was a heater in the room, and the man beside her hugged her and warmed her up like a stove. Besides, her body were fully covered by the nket. When she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Xunzhous handsome face. Normally, she would kiss him out of a fascination. But now, she was furious when she saw his face. She recalled his actionsst nighthe was simply a beast! Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth and red at him as fiercely as she could. However, when she broke free from his embrace, she couldnt help but use less strength, afraid of waking him up. As soon as Lin Shanchu moved her body, she felt her whole body ached, as if someone had beaten her up all over. She took a deep breath and got out of Huo Xunzhous arms. Just as she was about to get out of bed and go to the bathroom, the mans slightly hoarse and maic voice sounded beside her. Youre awake. Lin Shanchu froze. She turned her back to Huo Xunzhou and closed her eyes, pretending that she was still asleep. Youre still asleep? Huo Xunzhous voice sounded again. Lin Shanchu ignored him and continued to y dead without making a sound. In that case He suddenly leaned over and wrapped his arms around her waist. Lets do it again. Lin Shanchu got tensed up. She swatted away his hands from her waist and rolled over to the other side of the bed with both her limbs, looking warily at Huo Xunzhou. If you dare to do it again, Ill Lin Shanchu was about to say break up with you, but she could not bring herself to say those four words. It was not good for her to break up with him so easily. What are you going to do? Huo Xunzhou propped his head on his hand and looked nonchnt. Lin Shanchu took had taken away most of the nket. The nket on Huo Xunzhou only covered his lower body, exposing his well-proportioned chest. The scratch marks on his chest were clearly visible. Lin Shanchu felt guilty. Ill just Under Huo Xunzhous gaze, she felt more and more guilty. Without looking at him, she simply lowered her eyes and snorted softly. Dont think that you will be able to coax me easily! After holding her tongue for a long time, she could only say such a ruthless sentence. Huo Xunzhous heart softened. I wont do it then. His tone was gentle. Those who did not know better would think that he was saying something romantic. Turn around! Lin Shanchus face turned red with anger. Huo Xunzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at her in confusion. Im going to take a shower! Lin Shanchu red at him like a furious lion cub. You may go. When Huo Xunzhou obediently turned around, Lin Shanchu saw that there were many scratches on his back. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips with mixed feelings. She turned around and carefully got off the bed. However, she did not realize that the man, who had just turned away, turned around again and looked intently at her. Lin Shanchu wrapped herself in the nket and stepped on the ground. As soon as she got up, her legs gave out and she fell down. However, she did not fall to the ground. Instead, she fell into the mans broad embrace. Huo Xunzhou embraced her with his strong arms and lowered his head to coax her. Shall I carry you? As soon as he coaxed her, she remembered that he did not relent for a long time when she begged himst night. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She curled her lips and looked aggrieved with red -rimmed eyes. When she made such a wronged expression with such a pure and innocent face, she looked even more pitiful, making one cherish her and feel the urge to protect her. Huo Xunzhou suddenly felt that Li MO was right. Sometimes, he was really inhuman. For example, he was not thinking about protecting her or coaxing her at this moment. Instead, he wanted to bully her even more ruthlessly. Huo Xunzhou patted her head and asked softly, Hmm? He was afraid that if he said another word, he would expose the indecent thoughts in his mind. Mhm. Lin Shanchu put her arms around his neck with an aggrieved expression. She did not want to talk to him so soon, but she really could not move! Huo Xunzhou thought she was cute, but he dared notugh. He was afraid that she would get even angrier afterughing. Just as Huo Xunzhou was about to get up, Lin Shanchu suddenly said, Wait a minute. Huo Xunzhou looked down at her. Lin Shanchu looked away and said awkwardly, I need to put on my clothes. Huo Xunzhou couldnt help but smile. When he opened his mouth, his tone was exceptionally serious. Alright. Lin Shanchu was wrapped in the nket as she watched Huo Xunzhou pick up the bathrobe on the floor and put it on himself. Then, he walked to the walk-in closet. She had to admit that theizens had good taste. Even though she was still a little angry, she felt aroused when she looked at Huo Xunzhous body. After Huo Xunzhou put a clean nightgown on her, he carried her into the bathroom. Lin Shanchu could not even stand properly and her whole body was aching, so it was natural that she could not take a shower. Huo Xunzhou put her down on the sink before turning around to fill the water. Do you need my help? Huo Xunzhou asked as he waited for the water to fill up the bathtub. He ced his hands on both sides of her body. As he spoke, he could not help but lower his head to kiss her. Lin Shanchu kicked his leg and shouted, Dont kiss me without my permission! When she went to his housest time, he pretended to be a modest and puritanical gentleman to the point she felt that there was something wrong with him. In the end, he saved up enough energy to torment herst night. What a scheming man! Just as Huo Xunzhous lips were about to press against hers, he stopped abruptly. She was right in front of him, but he did not kiss her. He did not think this would work. Im sorry, Shanshan. I shouldnt have listened to Yun Wu and Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment. When he looked up at her, he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated with an apologetic look on his face. Lin Shanchu looked at him suspiciously and asked, What did Yun Wu say? She didnt say anything. Yun Wu is just a kid. What does she know? If you want to me someone, me me for being mean. Born with a pair of amorous and charming eyes, Huo Xunzhou usually had an indifferent and cold face with reduced amorous feelings and looked very gloomy. At this moment, he spoke with a serious expression, making him especially sincere. She Lin Shanchu recalled the conversation she had with Yun Wu two days ago at her house. At that time, Yun Wu even asked her mysteriously, You two didnt do it? Yun Wu would be twenty-one years old after the New Year. This was a question that a twenty-one-year-old adult could ask! She was still confusedst night. She only thought that there might a problem with Huo Xunzhous body, but how could he be so omniscient and figure out what was on her mind? She now knew the answer. It was all Yun Wus doing! Chapter 454 - 454: Come and Die Chapter 454: Come and Die Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The more Lin Shanchu thought about it, the angrier she got. Yun Wu had caused her a lot of trouble! No matter how strong Huo Xunzhous heart was, he had the self-esteem that a normal man should have. How could she say such things in front of him? No wonder Huo Xunzhou was so furious. Huo Xunzhou silently observed Lin Shanchus ever-changing expression. Knowing that he had sessfully distracted Lin Shanchu from getting angry at him, he smiled in satisfaction. Good luck, Yun wu. He did not do it on purpose. He just wanted to pacify Lin Shanchu as soon as possible. Lin Shanchu came to her senses and realized that Huo Xunzhou was looking at her. She then crossed her arms and ordered, The water is almost full. Carry me over. Huo Xunzhou let her do whatever she wanted and obediently carried her over. When he turned around to turn off the water, Lin Shanchu took off her nightgown and stepped into the bathtub. Lin Shanchu leaned back against the bathtub in satisfaction and closed her eyesfortably as the hot water dted the blood vessels in her body. At this moment, a pair ofrge hands slowly caressed her shoulders. Shall I help you massage your shoulders? Lin Shanchu ignored him. He was so capablest night, and now he was pretending to be her ve. She would not forgive him so easily. When Huo Xunzhou noticed that Lin Shanchu kept quiet, he knew that she acquiesced to his suggestion. The hot water made Lin Shanchu feel weak all over and the force on her shoulders was just right. She felt more and morefortable as she soaked in the water, feeling sleepy again. Huo Xunzhou checked the water temperature from time to time and woke Lin Shanchu up when he felt that the water was a little cool. The water is cool. Stop soaking. After youe out and put on your clothes, we will go downstairs for a meal. Oh. When Lin Shanchu heard the word meal , she woke up in a daze. Huo Xunzhou wrapped her in a towel and carried her out to the bed. He then asked her what she wanted to wear. Lin Shanchu said, Anything that looks nice. Huo Xunzhou was in a dilemma. Was there any clothes that she did not look good in? In the end, Huo Xunzhou gave her a set of bright-colored clothes. Huo Xunzhou was also from the entertainment industry, so he always had good aesthetics and the clothes he wore looked good. Lin Shanchu deliberately made things difficult for him and asked, Do the bright-colored clothes look good? You dont like them? Huo Xunzhou asked her good-naturedly. He previously saw that she was fond of the clothes given by his aunt, so he chose a set of festive clothes for her. Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. You think they look good? Huo Xunzhou said seriously, I thought youd find bright-colored clothes more festive. How could a straight man like him know how to dress festively for the New Year? Lin Shanchu said reluctantly, Alright. Huo Xunzhou knew her well. If she really did not like the clothes, she would not force herself to wear them. It was because she did not need to be so understanding, gentle and considerate. Forcing herself? It did not exist. Im going to take a shower. Huo Xunzhou did not expose her. He got up and went into the bathroom. He quickly took a shower, changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom. Lin Shanchu was still straightening her clothes in front of the mirror. Huo Xunzhou gave her an inner dress with a high neckline that could cover the marks on her neck, but it was a little ufortable. It had been a long time since she had worn clothes with such a high neckline. Are you feeling ufortable? Huo Xunzhou asked as he noticed that she was adjusting her cor. Huo Xunzhou was standing behind Lin Shanchu. She looked at him in the mirror and replied indifferently, Yes! Change into another one. I cant hide the marks if I change into another one! Cover it with makeup. She was speechless. He knew quite a lot! It was almost 12:00 p.m. when the two of them packed up and went downstairs. Yun Yi had already left for luncheon. Yun Wu and Yun Jin dozed off on the sofa while waiting for them. Li MO ran to the kitchen from time to time to see if lunch was ready. He kept thinking about the two people upstairs, who had not eaten breakfast in the morning, would definitely be hungry when they woke upter. When Li MO came back from the kitchen, he saw Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchuing downstairs. He was a martial artist, so he spoke loudly. Yun Jin and Yun Wu, who were sleeping on the sofa beside him, were woken up by him. Third brother, Shanshan Yun Wu turned to look at Lin Shanchu and found her staring at her with an unfriendly expression. Yun Wu swallowed guiltily. Ill go to the kitchen to see if lunch is ready. Its 11:50 a.m. Yun Jin looked at the clock beside him and said, Tch, you two are really heavy sleepers. Lin Shanchu did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that there was a hidden meaning behind his words. However, the fact that she and Huo Xunzhou slept in until noon did seem to raise suspicion. She put on a cold face and ignored Yun Jin, walking straight to the dining room. Huo Xunzhou, who was left behind, met Yun Jins meaningful gaze and said slowly, Shut up. Everyone knows. Whats the point of telling me to shut up? Yun Jin stared at Huo Xunzhou as if he was watching a good show. But soon, he could no longer smile. Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly and made a throat-slitting gesture. Yun Jin dared notugh with a stiffened expression. Other people might be acting cool by making the throat-slitting gesture, but it was not necessarily the case for Huo Xunzhou. He felt that Huo Xunzhou was capable of anything. Yun Jin calmed down and took out his phone to hide his fear, pretending that he had not said anything just now. Huo Xunzhou left in relief. Yun Jin peeked at his back and quickly turned on the family group chat. cker Second Brother: [Zhouzhou and Shanshan are awake! They went downstairs just now!] His mother insisted that he change his nickname to this one. What was the difference between cker and Troublemaker? Patriarch Yun was the first to reply: [Hurry up and let them eat lunch. They must be starving. Lunch should be ready in the kitchen soon.] Madam Yun: [Yeah.] Retired President: [Yeah.] Retired Presidents Wife: [Yeah.] Patriarch Yun and Madam Yun were really worried that Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou would starve without breakfast. Sessful But Wifeless Eldest Brother: [@Shanshan] cker Second Brother: How could he forget that Lin Shanchu was also in the group chat?! Shanshan: [Thank you for your concern, everyone. Im having lunch. Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, and Big Brother, please enjoy your meal outside. [well -behaved.jpg]] Everyone: [Were having lunch right now.] Shanshan: [@cker Second Brother, Second Brother, why dont youe to the dining room to have lunch?] Yun Jin felt guilty and anxious. He hurriedly typed to reply to her that he was not hungry. However, he saw another message sent by Lin Shanchu right after he finished editing his reply. [Dont tell me youre not hungry. Yun Wu said that you had breakfast before 8:00 a.m. Its almost 12:00 p.m. now. How can you not be hungry?] Yun Jin was cornered. He could not escape even ne wantecl to. He walked to the entrance of the dining room and sneakily stood by the door to look inside. Lin Shanchu happened to look over and met his gaze. Second Brother,e and eat lunch. Lin Shanchu smiled at him. Yun Jin just fearfully heard she say, Second Brother,e and die.. Chapter 455 - 455: Tang Qjdai Committed Suicide in the Detention Center for Fear of Punishment! Chapter 455: Tang Qjdai Committed Suicide in the Detention Center for Fear of Punishment! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Yun Jin carefully walked to the dining table and sat down. He cleared his throat and forced augh. Everyone, eat your lunch. Dont look at me. Lin Shanchu looked at him with a faint smile. Then, she lowered her head and started eating lunch. She had used up too much energyst night and had not eaten breakfast, so she was now starving. Today, the kitchen maids cookedmb ribs. Huo Xunzhou slowly cut a piece ofmb rib and ced it on Lin Shanchus te. Then, he picked up the knife and cut another piece. He stared at Yun Jin as he cut themb rib. After cutting themb rib, he ced it on Yun Jins te. Eat more. One could not hide the look of trying to kill someone in their eyes. Yun Jin felt that themb rib Huo Xunzhou handed over were filled with killing intent. He felt that the young couple, Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu, would definitely want to kill him and dismember him Yun Jin finished lunch in fear and waited for an opportunity to escape. He turned his head and winked frantically at Yun Wu. Confused, Yun Wu widened her eyes and asked softly, Whats wrong? Cover me. Yun Jin looked warily at Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu. It was obvious that they were really hungry. They were still eating. Yun Wu was puzzled. Yun Jin continued, Im going to run for my life. Dont be like this, Yun Wu said helplessly. I want to run away too. Yun Jin was confused. Yun Wu added, I think Shanshan wants to kill me. Yun Jin asked, What did you do? Yun Wu replied, Its a long story. At this moment. Lin Shanchlls phone rang beside her- Her phone ringtone was music with a strong rhythm. When it suddenly rang, Yun Wu and Yun Jin were shocked. Lin Shanchu nced at the screen and realized that it was a call from Number 1357. She had just grabbed amb rib and her hands were covered in oil, so she nudged Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou! Huo Xunzhou understood her intention and reached out to help her answer the call. Number 1357s voice immediately came from the other end of the phone. Shanshan! Watch the news! Number 1357s emotions were not as rich as before, but Lin Shanchu could hear a hint of excitement in his tone. What news? Lin Shanchu asked as she removed themb rib away from her mouth. Youll know when you see it, Number 1357 said mysteriously. Huo Xunzhou, who was next to her, already took out his phone to check the news online. Happy New Year, Uncle, Yun Wu said when she recognized Number 1357s voice. Happy New Year, Yun Wu, replied Number 1357 on the other end of the phone. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou passed the phone to Lin Shanchu with a dark expression. The erged and bold words were very eye-catching. [Tang Qidaimitted suicide in the detention center for fear of punishment!] Tang Qidaimitted suicide? It was impossible. Tang Qidai would nevermit suicide for fear of punishment. When Lin Shanchu went to see Tang Qidai back then, she was still unrepentant. She did not think that she had done anything wrong and even thought that Lin Shanchu had forced her to that point. How could such a personmit suicide for fear of punishment? Lin Shanchu picked up the wet towel beside her and wiped her hands clean. Then, she turned off the hands-free mode and left the dining room with her phone. Huo Xunzhou was worried and followed her. Yun Jin and Yun Wu looked at each other and tacitly slipped away. If he did not run now, when would he? Lin Shanchu left the dining room and walked towards the courtyard. She looked around and made sure there was no one around before asking Number 1357, Whats with Tang Qidais suicide? Are you happy? Its your New Years gift. Number 13571s slightly mechanical voice carried a hint of excitement. He was like a child who thought that he had done the right thing and was waiting to be praised. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips with mixed feelings. After a moment of silence, she spoke, You killed her? Yeah. Number 1357 admitted it straightforwardly. The foreboding she had when she parted ways with Number 1357 the day before yesterday hade true at this moment. Sometimes, people really had to trust their instincts. Where are you? Lets talk when we meet! Lin Shanchu turned around and walked back to the house, preparing to pack up and leave. Im going to find Number 1357, Lin Shanchu said as she raised her head. Ill drive you. Huo Xunzhou did not ask any further question and led her back to the house. The two of them simply packed up and left. Yun Jin and Yun Wu leaned against the window and watched Huo Xunzhous car disappear before they heaved a sigh of relief. They are finally gone. Why are they going out? I dont know. Its probably a date, right? Another voice suddenly sounded from the side. The two of them turned around and saw Li Mo. Li MO stared out of the window with an unfathomable expression. Yun Jin asked, Why is a young couple going out on the New Year if they are not going on a date? To get down to business. He saw Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus uneasy expressions when they left the house. Li MO sighed again and muttered, Why dont you bring me along when youre getting down to business Why do they have so much business to do? Yun Jin walked over and put his arm around Li Mos shoulder. Lets go and y cards with your bro. Li MO looked menacingly at him and replied, Im higher than you. In what aspect you are higher than me? Age. Why did you call Zhouzhou Big Brother then? Big Brother is younger than me, but his ability is stronger than mine. Yun Jin was confused, wondering if it was even possible. Number 1357 sent Lin Shanchu the location of a cakery owned by an inte celebrity. The business in the cakery was usually good. In addition, there was a new product tasting event today, so it was even more crowded. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were recognized by the customers the moment they entered the cakery. Its Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou! Ahhhh! Sister Rabbit, I love you!! You are so beautiful! Oh my god, Im so lucky! Today is the first day of the new year, and I actually met Lin Shanchu. Oh my god.. Most of the customers in the cakery were girls. The girls screamed and rushed over. At first, someone even called Huo Xunzhous name. At the back, Huo Xunzhou was pushed aside by the girls. Lin Shanchu was speechless. It was quite a misstep. She and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other across the air and saw helplessness in each others eyes. Lin Shanchu shook her head at him, signaling for him to look for Number 1357. Huo Xunzhous expression froze, but he did not immediately look for Number 1357. Lin Shanchu gave him aforting look, telling him to rest assured. Huo Xunzhou then turned around to look for Number 1357. The cakery was huge, and Number 1357 was a sweet tooth fanatic. Huo Xunzhou walked towards the tasting table without hesitation. There was only one person left in the previously crowded table. Who else could it be but Number 1357? Number 1357 sensed Lin Shanchus presence and heard footsteps behind him. He then turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou. Youre here. Wheres Shanshan? He had a piece of pastry in his mouth and looked behind Huo Xunzhou as he ate. Number 13571s vision widened as Huo Xunzhou moved to the side. He immediately saw Lin Shanchu surrounded by a group of girls. Wow! Number 1357 looked pleased. My daughter is really lovable, unlike you, a has-been Best Actor. Speechless, Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and sized him up. My wife is lovable, unlike you. Youre just a machine.. Chapter 456 - 456: Nightmare Chapter 456 - 456: Nightmare Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Number 1357 choked. He felt that the cake in his mouth was no longer delicious. Unconvinced, Number 1357 red at him and shouted, Youre not even married! Whos your wife?! Its just a certificate, Huo Xunzhou snorted. She will be my wife after I take itter. What a annoying fellow. Number 1357 continued to re at him. Wait in the car, Huo Xunzhou said, not minding Number 1357s scolding. Number 1357 snorted coldly. Why should I listen to you? Huo Xunzhou said indifferently, Shanshan told me toe find you. Huo Xunzhou and Number 1357 could not stand each other and refused to talk to each other. However, Lin Shanchu was in between them. As long as Lin Shanchu was mentioned, the other party would be docile. Number 1357 had a look that he was going to engage in a fight to the finish just now, but he kept his cool when he heard Lin Shanchus name. Huo Xunzhou made Number 1357 get into the car. When he went to look for Lin Shanchu, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Number 1357. Whats the matter? What have you done recently? Huo Xunzhou asked. Number 1357 tilted his head with a puzzled expression. Huo Xunzhou lowered his voice and said, Ive spent time with Shanshan recently, but I dont feel any pain anymore. The pain did not disappear suddenly. It gradually weakened during his interactions with Lin Shanchu until he could barely feel it recently. He felt that Number 1357 definitely knew the reason. Number 1357 leaned against the window as he said casually, Your body is immune to it probably because youve been with my daughter for a long time. Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and said nomittally, Wait in the car. Dont run around. He turned around and returned to the cakery. She stood in the crowd with a bright smile and radiating beauty. This was what Huo Xunzhou once imagined Lin Shanchu should look like. She should be like this. She should not have been suppressed by that ridiculous plot and walked towards the precipice step by step. Lin Shanchu felt Huo Xunzhous gaze and looked over. Huo Xunzhou nodded at her, indicating that he had found Number 1357. Lin Shanchu received the message and smiled at him before lowering her head to talk to the person beside her. Huo Xunzhou stood quietly by the entrance and waited patiently until more and more people came to the cakery. Most of them rushed over after learning the news that Lin Shanchu was here. If he stayed any longer, he might not be able to leave today. Huo Xunzhou strode towards Lin Shanchu. He protected Lin Shanchu as they walked out. His indifferent expression looked somewhat unfriendly. Sorry, we still have to deal with some private matters. Please make way. Huo Xunzhous aura was strong. The moment he spoke, the crowd instantly fell silent. All the surrounding people who initially wanted to take pictures of Lin Shanchu moved aside. At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, Kiss before you leave! Brother-inw, go! Brother-inw? Huo Xunzhou stopped in his tracks and asked Lin Shanchu softly, Are they calling me Brother-inw? Was he really no longer popr? He did not even have a single fan? They were all Lin Shanchus fans. No one called Lin Shanchu Sister-inw. Everyone called him Brother-inw. Lin Shanchu saw his self-doubt and couldnt help butugh. Yeah. Brother-inw, hurry up and kiss her! Brother-inw, are you impotent? Huo Xunzhou looked up and locked his eyes on the fans who said he was impotent. The fans retreated in fear. Brother-inws eyes were so scary. He was not really impotent, was he? Huo Xunzhou wrapped his arms around Lin Shanchus waist and gently pulled her into his embrace. Lin Shanchu put her hand on his shoulder and whispered, Just a casual kiss will do. We have to get down to business Mmph. Huo Xunzhous kiss swallowed herst words. Screams rang out from all around. Lin Shanchu wanted to push Huo Xunzhou away after the kiss, but unexpectedly, he did not show any signs of letting go of her with his hand remained still on her waist. The screams around them never stopped. Huo Xunzhou only let go of Lin Shanchu when she was almost out of breath from the kiss. Lin Shanchus legs gave out from theck of oxygen. Huo Xunzhou slowly looked up at the fans who had just said that he was impotent. The fans were sensible. Brother-inw is potent! Brother-inw is amazing! Satisfied, Huo Xunzhou held Lin Shanchu in his arms and strode away with his head held high. Lin Shanchu was speechless as she saw what happened. She really felt that there was no other man in the world was more petty than Huo Xunzhou. The owner of the cakery was also afraid of idents due to therge number of people. When Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu went out, the owner escorted them all the way until the two of them got into the car before returning to the cakery. Once Lin Shanchu got into the car, Number 1357 peeked at her from behind. Shanshan, Happy New Year! Happy New Year. Shanshan, you have so many fans. I feel that the character of a top-notch celebrity is quite interesting. Who is top-notch? You. Im not. Im not even as popr as Huo Xunzhou. No one paid attention to him in the cakery just now, said Number 1357, who finally got the chance to mock Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu was speechless. He was right. Lin Shanchu turned around and stole a nce at Huo Xunzhou. Number 1357 took the opportunity and whispered, Has-been Best Actor. What does it matter? Huo Xunzhou curled his lips and smiled faintly. My wife is a top-notch celebrity. Number 1357 fell silent. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Number 1357. Youre overthinking it. Huo Xunzhou isnt a has-been. Its just that most of the people I met at the cakery were my fans. Many of her fans supported her since the previous talent shows and variety shows, but most of them were solo stans. They had apanied her through ups and downs to this day. Even if Huo Xunzhou was beside them, they only had her in their eyes. This was what people called favoritism. Lets get down to business. Lin Shanchu pulled a long face and turned to look at Number 1357. Whats going on with Tang Qidais suicide? Suicide means death, Number 1357 seriously exined to her. Lin Shanchu angrily took a deep breath and said, Ill give you a chance to rephrase your words. She didmit suicide Number 1357s tone was obviously guilty. Judging from his tone, Lin Shanchu knew that her guess was right. Number 1357 must have done something. What did you do? I just gave her a few nightmares, Number 1357 said casually and even turned to look out the window. What kind of nightmare? She dreamt of you. Number 1357 blinked. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She was Tang Qidais nightmare. Thai- She did not expect that Number 1357 would be capable of psychological warfare. However Lin Shanchu asked, Isnt this against the rules? Number 1357 looked indifferent. Under normal circumstances, this would be considered against the rules. However, its no longer considered normal circumstances because of Number 2580s interference. Its already good enough that the plot can reach the ending. Lin Shanchu understood him. Recalling Number 2580 who always mentioned the ending, she asked, A happy ending? Chapter 457 - 457: Died With Her Eyes Open Chapter 457 - 457: Died With Her Eyes Open Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Number 1357 suddenly smiled. Not necessarily, he said enigmatically after a few seconds. What do you mean? Lin Shanchu was stunned. Previously, Number 2580 repeatedly mentioned that it had to be a happy ending, but now, Number 1357 said that it might not be the case. That useless system, Number 2580, only pursues results, but Im different. I treat every female lead as my own daughter. In this world of unconventional plot, my daughter has the final say on the ending of course! Disdain was written all over Number 1357s face. Lin Shanchu instantly felt that his image had be iparably lofty. However, she quickly frowned and looked at him with a strange expression. So youve always wanted to be my father? Number 1357 fell silent for a moment before he replied, What I mean is that Ive always treated you as my biological daughter. Do you understand what I mean? Lin Shanchu blinked. Yeah but not quite. However, you are indeed different from that useless system Number 2580. Number 2580 would only force her to follow the plot. However, Number 1357 was different. If something happened to her, he would really dare to make a move. First, he tried to kill Lu Shiyuan, but he failed. Now, he really seeded in killing Tang Qidai. Number 1357 thought that Lin Shanchu was praising him, so he grinned happily. What do you mean by not necessarily? Huo Xunzhou, who had not said a word, suddenly asked. An open ending? You can understand it that way, Number 1357 said indifferently as the smile on his face disappeared in a second. You dont know the ending either? Lin Shanchus expression froze. Number 1357 shook his head. I dont know. The one who can decide the ending isnt me. Its you. Wasnt the ending of the story already written from the beginning? Lin Shanchu was puzzled. The ending of the story was indeed written from the beginning, but now that the plot has changed, its natural that the ending will be different as well. After saying that, Number 1357 spread out his hands, indicating that he had no choice. Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou with aplicated expression. Huo Xunzhou smiled at her in aforting manner. Well find out the ending when we reach it. As Huo Xunzhou spoke, he reached out and grabbed her hand. Lin Shanchu held his hand and nodded lightly. So what if there were more variables in the future? Her fate was in her own hands. She had the final say on the ending. I want to see Tang Qidais corpse, Lin Shanchu said in a deep voice. She had to see Tang Qidais corpse with her own eyes to believe that she was really dead. Huo Xunzhou did not ask further questions and drove straight to the detention center. There were many reporters guarding the entrance of the detention center. They looked dedicated as they spent the first day of the new year to get a scoop. There are too many people. Huo Xunzhou looked outside and frowned slightly. Its fine. Lin Shanchu reached out to open the car door. Huo Xunzhou did not unlock the car door, so it could not be opened. Huo Xunzhou gave her a look, trying to get her to calm down. Hold your horses. Ill make a call to check on the situation. Huo Xunzhou called Yun Yi and briefly exined the situation before hanging up the phone. A few minutester, Yun Yi called him. The corpse is no longer in the detention center. It was taken away by the Cheng family. Did they bring it back to the Cheng family or take it to the funeral parlor? They directly took it to the funeral parlor Huo Xunzhou put Yun Yi on speaker so that everyone in the car could hear him. Lets go to the funeral parlor now, Huo Xunzhou looked at Lin Shanchu after the call ended. Lin Shanchu nodded silently. Huo Xunzhou started the car and drove to the funeral parlor. There were not many people in the funeral parlor on the first day of the new year. As soon as they went in, they saw Cheng Fanjing. Cheng Fanjing was probably talking to the staff about Tang Qidais funeral, so she did not notice them. Wheres Tang Qidais corpse? She abruptly turned around when Lin Shanchus voice rang behind her. Lin Shanchu? A trace of surprise shed across Cheng Fanjings eyes, followed by a blinding realization. Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai had many grudges against each other, so she had toe and see Tang Qidais corpse to confirm if she was really dead. Lin Shanchu was that kind of vengeful person. However, she had an innocent and pure face. This face was so deceptive that everyone thought that she was easy to bully and manipte. In fact, those who provoked Lin Shanchu did not have a good ending. Come with me, Cheng Fanjing said directly. She noticed Huo Xunzhou next to Lin Shanchu just now. Huo Xunzhou really liked Lin Shanchu. He apanied her to the funeral parlor to see the corpse on the first day of the new year. There was no shortage ot good-looking and powertul people in this circle. Most of them smiled and looked kind to others, but in fact, they were selfish and cold. Besides, they only did things that were beneficial to themselves and only talked about transactions and not feelings. Compared to them, Huo Xunzhou was considered a deviant. He was good-looking, powerful and cold, but even an outsider like her could see his sincerity for Lin Shanchu. Back when Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu announced their rtionship, many people secretly mocked him for coveting her beauty and her for coveting his money. People were always so narrow-minded. They thought that things that they had never seen before did not exist in this world. Cheng Fanjing stopped when she entered the funeral parlor. Before Tang Qidai died, she inflicted severe injuries to herself. The mortuary cosmetologist we contacted hasnt arrived yet, so you should be mentally prepared. Lin Shanchu continued walking in with a calm expression. Cheng Fanjing did not go any further after following her for a few steps. Tang Qidai died a horrible death. She contacted the mortuary cosmetologist earlier, but she did not want to see Tang Qidai again, fearing that she would have nightmares at night. The funeral parlor was on holiday because of the New Year, so there were only a few employees on duty. They were all busy with Tang Qidais burial, so there was no one in the morgue. Huo Xunzhou stepped forward. Just as he was about to lift the white cloth covering the corpse, Lin Shanchu stopped him. Ill do it myself. Lin Shanchu slowly walked forward and lifted the white cloth. If she had not known Tang Qidai since childhood, she would hardly be able to tell at a nce that this person was Tang Qidai. Tang Qidais long hair, which she cherished so much, had been bunched up and its original silky appearance was no longer visible. There were a few big holes on her forehead and her once well-maintained face was riddled with scars, looking pale without a trace of life. The two lips were full of teeth marks. It was obvious that she had bitten them when she was alive. The lips were so damaged that their original shape could no longer be seen. Lin Shanchu examined Tang Qidai carefully before her gaze fell on her eyes. At this moment, her eyes were still wide open with dted pupils after death. Lin Shanchu looked into those restless eyes for a moment and then chuckled. Number 1357 was at the back. When he heard Lin Shanchus chuckle, he leaned over curiously. He wanted to see how funny Tang Qidais death was. When Number 1357 leaned over and saw Tang Qidais open eyes after death, he staggered in fright and hurriedly grabbed Huo Xunzhous arm to stabilize himself.. Chapter 458 - 458: Once They Were on the Path, There Was No Turning Back Chapter 458 - 458: Once They Were on the Path, There Was No Turning Back Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou did not shrug Number 1357 off in disgust because he had done so much for Lin Shanchu. Instead, he nced emotionlessly at Number 1357. However, Number 1357 could feel Huo Xunzhous contempt for him. It was extremely insulting! Number 1357 managed to calm his breathing and awkwardly let go of Huo Xunzhou. Shanshan, Ill go out first, he said, turning his body away from Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu looked intently at Tang Qidai and ignored him. Huo Xunzhou walked up to Lin Shanchu and nced at her expression, but he did not say anything to disturb her. Lin Shanchu stared at Tang Qidais corpse for a while before slowly raising her hand. However, she raised her hand halfway before she slowly put it down again. Thats it, you should keep your eyes open, she muttered. Tang Qidai should watch her live happily with her eyes open like this. Tang Qidai had spent most of her life fighting with Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu wanted Tang Qidai to be buried with her eyes open. She wanted Tang Qidai to watch her live a blissful life even after she died. After a long time, Lin Shanchu let out a long sigh of relief and put the white cloth back on the corpse. She turned around and smiled brightly at Huo Xunzhou. Lets go. Without a word, Huo Xunzhou reached out and patted her head before holding her hand and walking out. Number 1357 was squatting at the entrance. When he turned around and saw Lin Shanchu walking out with a smile on her face, he curled his lip and slowly stood up. She was the female lead of a sweet novel, but she was messed up by that trash, Number 2580. Sigh! Number 1357 sighed inwardly. Cheng Fanjing went outside to discuss some matters with the staff just now. She walked over when she noticed Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchuing out of the morgue. You are leaving? How are you guys going to bury Tang Qidai? Lin Shanchu looked up at Cheng Fanjing. Cheng Fanjings eyes shed. If nothing unexpected happens, itll be cremation. Can she be buried? Lin Shanchu asked seriously. If she was burnt to ashes, there would be nothing left. How could Tang Qidai see how happy she was while she was in the underworld? Cheng Fanjing had a hunch that Lin Shanchu had her own ideas when she mentioned this matter. However, she could not understand why Lin Shanchu wanted to bury Tang Qidai. Its not impossible. Patriarch Cheng was so angry that he fell sick after Tang Qidais murder of Kong Suyi was exposed. After that, Patriarch Cheng never asked about Tang Qidai again. No one in the Cheng family liked Tang Qidai to begin with, so no one cared about her. Early this morning, the Cheng family received the news from the detention center that Tang Qidai hadmitted suicide. They had not wanted to take care of the funeral at first, but they did not want to bear the notoriety of being cold and heartless. Therefore, they brought the matter to Patriarch Cheng after discussing for a while. The Cheng family somewhat med Patriarch Cheng for what happened to Tang Qidai. Patriarch Cheng knew it by heart and did not say a word on the spot. Cheng Fanjing took the initiative to stand up at this critical moment when everyone was locked in a stalemate. While everyone was in a deadlock, she already begun to consider the pros and cons of this matter. The patriarch liked her among her peers was not only because she grew up with him, but she was also obedient. Although she would asionally y some tricks, she would never use them on the patriarch. The patriarch was getting old and his health was deteriorating day by day. These people were restless and even dared to have a hold over the patriarch. However, the patriarch had experienced more conspiracies in his life than anyone. How could these juniors have a hold over him? As long as she stood on the patriarchs side, he would give her everything she wanted. Therefore, she was the one who stepped forward to deal with Tang Qidais funeral. As long as the Cheng family took care of Tang Qidais funeral and left a reputation of benevolence, no one cared how she was buried. Lin Shanchu was a bit surprised to find that Cheng Fanjing was such a good talker. Cheng Fanjing turned around and called the person in charge over. Theres no need to prepare for cremation. Lets change the n. Ill see you guys off, Cheng Fanjing said after the person in charge left. She did not think that Lin Shanchu would stay to attend Tang Qidais funeral. Lin Shanchu looked seriously at Cheng Fanjing without a word for a moment. Then, she walked out with a smile. Cheng Fanjing followed them with both hands in the pockets of her coat. Then, she suddenly asked, Are you two getting married soon? My grandfather will send an invitation to Patriarch Cheng when the timees, Huo Xunzhou answered her. It was such a modest statement, but Cheng Fanjing could feel Huo Xunzhous hostility towards her. Cheng Fanjing asked this question with a hint of goodwill, but Huo Xunzhou said that he would send an invitation to the patriarch. He almost said that she did not deserve to receive an invitation to their wedding. When she previously interacted with Huo Xunzhou, she really did not know that he was such a petty person. She probably offended him by targeting Lin Shanchu back then didnt she? Cheng Fanjing couldnt help butugh when she thought of it. Got it. She had never seen a man protect his wife like this. Arriving at the entrance, Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks and looked at Cheng Fanjing. Goodbye. Goodbye, Cheng Fanjing muttered to herself for a moment. Huo Xunzhou opened the car door to the passenger seat. After Lin Shanchu got into the car, he leaned over to help her buckle the seatbelt. He even said something intimate, causing Lin Shanchu to pat him lightly. Then, Huo Xunzhou closed the car door and got into the car from the other side before driving off. Cheng Fanjing witnessed everything and stood still, watching their car disappear from her sight. The beautiful things in this world were always something that people yearned tor. It was the same for a beautiful rtionship. If only she had been a little more patient with Huo Xunzhou back then, perhaps Cheng Fanjing banished the thought just as it crossed her mind. She smiled self-deprecatingly. No, there were no ifs. Even if she had another a thousand times of chances, she would still look down on Huo Xunzhou who was in a wheelchair. Everyone chose their own path. Once they were on the path, there was no turning back. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhous kiss at the cakery was trending: #LinShanchuandHuoXunzhousThree-minuteKiss #Brother-inwIsPotent #SisterRabbitFromAPasserbysPerspective The photos and videos of Huo Xunzhou hugging and kissing Lin Shanchu went viral on the Inte. He Xiang was in her hometown, but it did not stop her from surfing the Inte. She looked at the trending list online and sent Lin Shanchu a WeChat message. He Xiang: [Sister Lin, Happy New Year. [Kiss.jpg]] Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou had not returned to the Yun family at this moment. Lin Shanchu still had something to tell Number 1357. As soon as she spoke, her phone vibrated. Seeing that it was a message from He Xiang, she opened it. She looked surprised after just one nce. There was nothing wrong with He Xiangs message, but there was something wrong with the Kiss emoji.. Chapter 459 - 459: Thought of a Way Chapter 459 - 459: Thought of a Way Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The protagonists of the emoji were Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu immediately recognized that the background of the emoji was the cakery in the morning. Lin Shanchu: [Where did you get this emoji?] He Xiang: [I found it online. Its all over the Inte.] Then, He Xiang quickly spammed Lin Shanchus screen with a huge number of Kiss emojis featuring her and Huo Xunzhou. He Xiang: [Sister Lin, you still dont know that you and Teacher Huo are trending?] Lin Shanchu: [Ill go and check it outter.] She guessed that she and Huo Xunzhou would be trending after the incident at the cakery, but she did not expect that theizens even made some emojis this time. Theizens really did a good job. Lin Shanchu chatted with He Xiang for a while before putting down her phone. She looked up and saw Number 1357 craning his neck to look over. Seeing Lin Shanchu staring at him, he asked, Is it He Xiang? Lin Shanchu asked helplessly. Now that youve taken care of Tang Qidai, what are you going to do next? You know it. Number 1357 said confidently, Lu Shiyuan is the next target. Lin Shanchu wanted to talk to Number 1357 alone just now, so Huo Xunzhou tactfully got out of the car. It was warm in the car. Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Xunzhou could not hear their conversation outside the car, but still she cautiously looked out the window. Huo Xunzhou was standing under the tree and looking up at the branches. It was unknown what he was looking at. He was wearing a ck cashmere coat today, which entuated his slender figure and cold temperament. He looked pleasing to the eye just by standing there. Lin Shanchu couldnt help but take a few more nces. Then, she looked away and lowered her voice to speak to Number 1357. Huo Xunzhou has been sending his men to keep an eye on Lu Shiyuan. Do you have any way to kill Lu Shiyuan without anyone knowing? Number 2580 still had some strength. Huo Xunzhou had his men keep an eye on Lu Shiyuan, but they still could not find anything on him after such a long time. Number 1357 fell silent for a moment. Not at the moment. Lin Shanchu angrily rolled her eyes at him. She thought that Number 1357 already had a way to deal with Lu Shiyuan. Im just saying that I dont have a way at the moment. Number 1357s tone carried a hint of anger. I dont know where that idiot Number 2580 got the male lead aura to protect Lu Shiyuan. I really cant do anything about him for the time being. He was almost killed by Lu Shiyuan when he attacked himst time. Lin Shanchu knew that Lu Shiyuan was difficult to deal with. It was normal that Number 1357 did not have a way. Assuming a serious expression, she frowned and looked at him with her arms crossed. Let me know in advance when you want to do something next time. Ill definitely do it next time. Number 1357 nodded hurriedly. Lets go to the Yun family for dinner, Lin Shanchu said after a pause. No, I still want to eat cake. Number 1357 swallowed hopelessly. Lin Shanchu helplessly pursed her lips and said, Alright then. Ill get out of the car here. Number 1357 opened the car door and got out after finished speaking. Hearing themotion, Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him. Number 1357 waved at him and said, Im leaving. You can go on date with her. Huo Xunzhou nced deeply at Number 1357 before turning around and getting back into the car. Lin Shanchu took out her phone to check the trending list. Sure enough, any rted trending topic she tapped on was filled with her and Huo Xunzhous emojis. She could not help butugh. What are you looking at? Huo Xunzhou looked over curiously after fastening his seatbelt. Lin Shanchu handed the phone to him. So youre looking at this. Huo Xunzhouughed. I think it looks good. Lin Shanchu pressed the save button and frantically saved their emoji. After that, she looked at thements under the trending topics. [The couple I ship disyed affection in public during the New Year! This is the atmosphere of the New Year!] [Ahhhh, theyre wearing couple wristwatches! ] [Yes, yes, yes. Two people were wearing such wristwatches in the photos of the New Years Eve dinner posted by Lin Shanchu.] [Lin Shanchu spent the New Year at Huo Xunzhous house?] [Im just a single passer-by, but I got kicked in the ass. Boo-hoo.] [Ill move the Civil Affairs Bureau over now!] [Brother-inw is indeed very amazing! (Am I the only one who noticed that Sister Rabbits legs seemed to give out after being kissed?)] [Brother-inw is potent! (I noticed that too.)] [Brother-inw is really potent! (I think Sister Rabbit is somewhat impotent.)] [Sisters, this is thements section, not a no-mansnd!] Lin Shanchu smiled as she read thements. She couldntugh anymore when she read thements at the bottom. What did theizens mean by Huo Xunzhou was potent but she was not? She was obviously potent, okay? Lin Shanchu put down her phone and stopped looking at it. She crossed her arms and red at the man beside her. Huo Xunzhou sensed her gaze and turned to look at her. Whats wrong? Teacher Huo, youre so amazing. Everyones praising you. There was a trace of jealousy in her sarcastic tone. Huo Xunzhou remembered the emoji she showed him just now. Theizens had probablymented something that upset her. Huo Xunzhou said casually, Shanshan, dont you know if Im potent and amazing? Lin Shanchu was speechless. What was shooting oneself in the foot? This was it! What are you so proud of? I havent forgiven you yet! Lin Shanchu raised her chin and snorted. Who did not know how to dig up the past and throw a tantrum? Huo Xunzhou stoppedughing. He lookedposed, cleared his throat and became serious in an instant. Do you want to have dinner at home or outside? Those few people at home kept an eye at the stairway early in the morning to watch their drama. In the afternoon, the two of them were trending. It was inevitable that they would be stared by everyone when they returned. Lin Shanchu held her tongue for a while before she said, Lets eat outside. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips and smiled. The two of them ate outside and held hands to watch a movie. Huo Xunzhou bought the movie tickets during dinner. The cinema was full of people on the first day of the new year. Looking at the endlessly long queue, Lin Shanchu couldnt help but wonder how Huo Xunzhou managed to get the tickets. How did you get the tickets? She had note out to join in the fun in the past, so she did not know that there were so many people in the cinema on the first day of the new year. Huo Xunzhou looked at her calmly and replied, Ithought of a way. What kind of way? Huo Xunzhou smiled and gestured for her toe closer. When Lin Shanchu leaned over, Huo Xunzhous low voice rang in her ear. The booking website was hacked for a few seconds and I managed to get two reserved tickets. Lin Shanchu fell silent for a long time before she said, Your aunt told you not to do anything illegal. Yun Jin did it. Huo Xunzhou added regretfully, I didnt have aputer with me. If he had aputer, he would have done it himself. Its our turn. Lets go. Huo Xunzhou straightened Lin Shanchus mask and led her inside. The New Year movies were all lively and hrious. Lin Shanchuughed along with the others. When she came out of the cinema, she was still a little unsatisfied.. Chapter 460 - 460: Was He So Impatient? Chapter 460: Was He So Impatient? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lets watch a movie next time when we are free. Lin Shanchu seldom went to the cinema to watch movies in the past. At that time, she did not have many friends and Lu Shiyuan hooked up with Tang Qidai. Besides, she would not go to the cinema alone. Therefore, she could count on one hand the number of times she went to the cinema since childhood. Huo Xunzhou asked her, Is watching a movie that interesting? Yes. Lin Shanchu held Huo Xunzhous hand and walked out while facing him. She was not worried that she would bump into a wall or someone because Huo Xunzhou was here. He would not allow such a thing to happen. Huo Xunzhou escorted her outside and asked with a smile, Whats more interesting? Is it the movie or the person youre watching it with? Lin Shanchu tilted her head and suddenly walked back to Huo Xunzhou. Of course, its more interesting to watch a movie with Teacher Huo. Huo Xunzhou initially wanted to tease her, but he did not expect her to really say what he wanted to hear. He was slightly stunned, and he couldnt help but curl his lip. Huo Xunzhou cupped her face in his hands and stopped in the busy walkway to give her a kiss through the mask. The surrounding people looked over at once. Lin Shanchu calmly walked out with her head held high. These people could not see her face anyway because she was wearing a mask. It was impossible for her to be trending just because of a kiss, right? Reality proved it. Even if she wore a mask and her face could not be seen clearly, she would still be trending. It started when a passerby took a photo and posted it online. [I watched a movie in the shopping mall in West City today. When I came out, I saw a couple kissing through a mask. Even through the masks, I could tell that the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. The difference in their physique was also very lovable. The atmosphere when the two of them stood together was way too good. They looked so lovey-dovey! Im going to melt! [Photo][Photo][Photo]] Three consecutive shots of Huo Xunzhou kissing Lin Shanchu were attached to Lile posL. In the beginning, the friend of this passerbymented the post and forwarded it. [Theyre really lovey-dovey!] [Its also nice to ship normal people in love!] [A well-matched love makes people cry] The friends of the passersbys friend also reposted it. Unknowingly, the number of reposts kept increasing. In the end, it became trending and attracted the fans and shippers from the both sides toe over and im their ship. [Arent they Sister Rabbit and Brother-inw?] [Oh! Was this what Best Actor Huo looks like when hes in love? He kiss her wherever he goes?] [I ship these two people so badly! I cant get out of this ship!] [So celebrities also go to the cinema on dates?] [Its hard to end this if you dont get married-] [Please, I beg you. Get married on the spot.] Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou went to catch some doll after the movie. The two of them yed untilte at night before returning home. Everyone at home was asleep, so the servants left the lights on for them. There was only a dim night light in the living room. The two of them walked in quietly. Yo! The couple who made it to the trending list twice today is back. Lin Shanchu looked over upon hearing the voice. Then, she saw Yun Yi and the others sitting at a small table in the shadows by the window. Of course, Yun Jin was the one who spoke instead of Yun Yi. Li MO stood up and said, Big Brother, youre back. Yun Wu held the wine ss and looked at them with a smile. Would you like to join us for a drink? Yun Yi cleared his throat and said, I won. Transfer the money. The other three people sighed as they took out their phones and transferred money to Yun Yi. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou walked over after looking at each other. Huo Xunzhou took the initiative and asked, Why arent you guys asleep yet? Yun Wu blinked and replied, Were waiting for you guys. Yun Jin slumped on the chair like he had no bones. Big Brother really guessed it right. Guess what? Lin Shanchu asked curiously. He guessed that the two of you would sneak back in the middle of the night to avoid us Ah! Yun Jin screamed before he could finish speaking. The small table was not spacious enough and there was no tablecloth on it. Lin Shanchu clearly saw Yun Yi kick Yun Jin under the table. To her surprise, Yun Yi, who usually looked serious, made such a boring bet with Yun Jin and the others. Its gettingte. Everyone, go back to sleep. Yun Yi stood up and left proudly after winning the bet. The remaining few people also stood up and left as if they were fleeing. Theyre so bored Lin Shanchu muttered with aplicated tone. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou nodded in agreement and pulled her back to the room. Lin Shanchu scrolled through her phone before she went to bed and found out that she and Huo Xunzhou were trending again. She angrily threw her phone at Huo Xunzhou. Look at what youve done! Huo Xunzhou picked up the phone, carefully looked at the photos and scrolled through thements. After that, he looked up and said seriously, They want us to get married on the spot. This mans focus was really Lin Shanchu speechlessly rolled up the nket andy down to sleep. Click! The lights in the room were switched off. The next second, the mans broad body leaned over. When Lin Shanchu stayed with the Yun family until the third day of the new year, Qi Cheng urged her to start working. He even epted a few more dramas on her behalf. He said he had an interesting script that he had to show it to her personally. The rest of the family also started to get busy. Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou discussed for a while and left the Yun family the next day. On the way back, Huo Xunzhou unprecedentedly chatted with her about many things. Lin Shanchu only understood something after listening to him for a long time. Huo Xunzhou, what are you trying to say? What could make Huo Xunzhou so embarrassed to open his mouth and talk about so much nonsense? Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips and swallowed nervously. My house is bigger. Do you want to move to my ce? Thats it? She thought Huo Xunzhou was going to make some outrageous request! Did he beat around the bush because he afraid that she would reject him? How could she refuse such a reasonable request? Alright. Lets go to your house to pack your things now, shall we? Huo Xunzhou sounded like he was asking for Lin Shanchus opinion, but she could feel him speeding up. Was he so impatient? However Arent you going to continue living in the Huo familys old mansion? She did not know if Huo Xunzhou hadpleted the task that required him to stay in the Huo familys old mansion. Soon. Huo Xunzhous expression darkened. Oh. That was why he could not wait for her to move into his house when he did not live there. The two of them arrived at Lin Shanchus house. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to open the door with the keys, the door was opened from the inside. Shanshan, youre back! The smile on Number 1357s face froze as soon as he saw Huo Xunzhou. He turned around expressionlessly and returned to his room. Huo Xunzhou ignored Number 1357 and went straight to Lin Shanchus room to help her pack her things. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to follow him, Number 1357 stopped her.. Chapter 461 - 461: He Almost Killed Her Last Night Chapter 461: He Almost Killed Her Last Night Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at Number 1357. What is he doing in your room? Huo Xunzhou? He went to help me pack my things. I agreed to move to his house. Lin Shanchu observed Number 13571s expression as she asked, Do you have a problem with that? Even if you do, you better hold it in. Lin Shanchu directly retorted Number 1357 without giving him a chance to speak. Number 1357 fell silent for a moment before he said, If you move into Huo Xunzhous house, it will be difficult for us to handle many operations. For example? We want to kill Lu Shiyuan. As Number 1357 spoke, he cautiously nced into Lin Shanchus room, as if he was worried that Huo Xunzhou would be standing by the door and eavesdropping on their conversation. Lin Shanchu thought about it and felt that what Number 1357 said made sense. She did not want to hide her actions from Huo Xunzhou. It was just that Huo Xunzhou was too busy with his own matters and she could not help him much, so she thought that she should take care of her own matters. However, Huo Xunzhou had to worry about everything. If he knew that she wanted to kill Lu Shiyuan, he would have to micromanage the operation. If that was the case, it would restrict her performance. But Lin Shanchu pretended to be in a dilemma. Huo Xunzhou said that he wont be staying at his house for the time being, Lin Shanchu chuckled under Number 1357s confused gaze. Number 1357s eyes lit up. Really? He said it himself. As soon as Lin Shanchu finished speaking, Number 1357 ran back to his room. What are you going to do? Pack my things! Why are you packing your things? To live in a big house! Following that, a series of crackling sounds could be heard in Number 1357s room. Lin Shanchu was speechless. Why did Number 1357 love living in a big house like a human? When she returned to her room, she saw that Huo Xunzhou had already taken out all her clothes and ced them on the bed. Number 1357 wants to stay with us as well. Sure. Huo Xunzhou looked up at her upon hearing those words. I thought you didnt like him? Lin Shanchu tilted her head and sized him up. It has nothing to do with this. Huo Xunzhou started to pack the clothes into the suitcase. Ill give He Xiang a call. She had to tell He Xiang about moving house. He Xiang bought a ne ticket for tonight and should be on her way to the airport now. The call went through swiftly. Sister Lin! Were going to move to Huo Xunzhous ce. Do you want to live outside or live together? Ill live outside! He Xiang did not hesitate at all. Because of Lin Shanchu, she had more opportunities to interact with Huo Xunzhou. She knew that Huo Xunzhou was actually a good person, but he had a powerful She knew that Huo Xunzhou was actually a good person, but he had a powerful aura. If she had to live under the same roof as him, she would not be able to bear the pressure. Alright. Then I wont be returning this apartment. Lin Shanchu did not force her. This apartment will expire in two months. When the timees, Ill change to a smaller one. Its too wasteful to live in such a big house by myself. He Xiang was a thrifty girl. Lin Shanchu did not care about this. It did not matter whether one was thrifty or a spendthrift. Happiness was the most important thing. Thats fine. You can ask me for reimbursement when the timees. On the night Lin Shanchu moved into Huo Xunzhous house, he returned homete at night. He attended two dinner parties that night and came back reeking of alcohol. Lin Shanchu was lying down and going to sleep after turning off the lights. Huo Xunzhou entered the room and realized that the lights were off, so he thought that Lin Shanchu was asleep. He quietly closed the door, took off his shoes by the side and walked over to the bed in the dark. The curtains in the room were lightproof, so he could not clearly see Lin Shanchus face even if he stood by the bed. However, he still wanted to see her first. Even though he could not clearly see her face, he found inner peace as long as he confirmed that she was here. Lin Shanchu sniffed in the dark. It smelled like alcohol. Therefore, she gave up the idea of getting up and giving him a hug. Forget it, she should talk to him after he took a shower. Huo Xunzhou looked at the bed for a while before turning around to take a shower. After a while, Lin Shanchu felt the bed beside her sink. Then, she pretended to roll into his arms inadvertently. Huo Xunzhou hugged her andy down naturally. He did not realize that she was still awake. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and snickered. She wondered if she should say something in her sleep to scare him. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou caressed her face. When a person smiled, their facial muscles would tremble slightly. Huo Xunzhou, who seemed to have sensed something, lowered his head and kissed her before leaving. Then, he reached out and pinched her ear in revenge. Youre pretending to be asleep? No, you woke me up, Lin Shanchu lied through her teeth. Really? Huo Xunzhou chuckled. He caressed her neck and reached into the cor of her pajamas. Dont disturb my sleep. Lin Shanchu shrank back in fear of tickling. You may sleep. The man became more and more unrestrained with his hand. How was she supposed to sleep like this? She did not know if it was because Huo Xunzhou was drunk. He was a little impatient tonight and his endurance was much worse than before. His breathing was hot as he kissed her. However, he suddenly stopped. Lin Shanchu raised her neck to ask for a kiss. Do you have work tomorrow? Huo Xunzhou asked in a hoarse voice after pecking her lightly on the lips. Lin Shanchu used her remaining rationality to think for a moment. Brother Qi said he would show me the script tomorrow. What about other jobs? Huo Xunzhou could not bear to leave her lips as he spoke. He pressed his lips against hers and kissed her again. Oh, nothing else The rest of her words were swallowed by the mans kiss. Lin Shanchu felt sore all over when she woke up. She rolled up the nket in a daze, not knowing what time it was. Creak! The door was carefully pushed open. Lin Shanchu turned to look at the door. Huo Xunzhou, who was dressed in a suit, appeared in her line of sight. He was meticulously dressed and even had a tie on, looking as if he was going to attend a high-level business meeting. However, he was holding breakfast in his hands. Youre awake. As he looked up, his indifferent eyes melted with a smile and his voice sounded gentle. Lin Shanchu was sitting on the bed with the nket wrapped around her body. Youre going out. As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was very hoarse. Huo Xunzhous eyes softened. He put down the tray, picked up the ss of warm water and walked to the bed. Drink some water. He pulled down the nket that Lin Shanchu was wrapped in and considerately brought the cup to her lips. After Lin Shanchu slowly finished the cup of water, she stared at Huo Xunzhou and shouted coldly, You brute!. This man had apletely different face before and after the deed. He may look gentle now. He almost killed herst night. He was simply a beast. Huo Xunzhou was not angry at being scolded. Instead, heughed. When Qi Cheng called earlier, I picked up the phone on your behalf. He should be on his way here now. Get up, wash up and eat something. Im going out.. Chapter 462 - 462: A Farewell Kiss Chapter 462 - 462: A Farewell Kiss Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion His deep and gentle voice instantly quelled the anger in Lin Shanchus heart. Youre going to thepany? she asked Huo Xunzhou. Im going to the Huo familys old mansion. Huo Xunzhou put the cup aside. After a pause, he looked at her face and said, Ill continue to stay at the Huo familys old mansion for the next few days. Starting from today? Lin Shanchus eyes lit up instantly. Huo Xunzhou pursed his lips and said unhappily, Yeah. Lin Shanchu felt that she was being a little too obvious, so she quickly restrained her expression and gently reminded him. Then you have to take good care of yourself. If Huo Xunzhou had not known her personality, he would have believed her nonsense. Lin Shanchu continued, Eat well and sleep well. Dont worry about me. I will take good care of myself. She was such a gentle and considerate girlfriend. Huo Xunzhou helplessly rubbed her ears and said, Hurry up and eat breakfast. Go wash up after youre done. Lin Shanchu ordered him, My clothes. She had to wash up and change her clothester, so Huo Xunzhou only took a nightgown and put it on her. Lin Shanchu finished her breakfast. When Huo Xunzhou was about to stand up with the tray in his hand, she suddenly said, Wait a minute. As Huo Xunzhou looked up, the woman stretched out her slender arms and wrapped them around his neck. After that, she tilted her head and kissed him. She kissed him so hard that she made a sound. They separated at the touch. A farewell kiss. Lin Shanchu smiled at him. Huo Xunzhou ced the tray on the table, loosened his tie, held the back of her head and kissed her deeply. After a while, he let go of Lin Shanchu. This is my farewell kiss. Lin Shanchu red at him, feeling angry and happy at the same time. Come closer. Huo Xunzhou obediently lowered his head and approached her. Lin Shanchu reached out to adjust the tie that he had just loosened before letting him leave. After Huo Xunzhou left, Lin Shanchu went to the bathroom to wash up and change her clothes. When she went downstairs, Qi Cheng happened to enter the house. He Xiang also came along with him. Number 1357 was sitting in the living room and watching TV. Li MO must have gone out with Huo Xunzhou earlier. Qi Cheng took out the interesting script that he mentioned to Lin Shanchu before. I think this suspenseful script is very interesting. Although the crew is not famous, the script is good. Lin Shanchu took it. She wanted to see how good it was. Actually, many actresses dont dare to try this kind of role. The outstanding roles in this kind of drama are usually males. The female roles dont take up so much of the screen time. If they dont act well, they will be ridiculed by the audience Lin Shanchu looked seriously at the script and replied casually, Yeah. She quickly finished reading the script. Its indeed not bad. When will the filming start? Youve decided to ept it so quickly? Qi Cheng was a little surprised. The script is not bad. If I dont ept it, do I have to wait for others to snatch it from me? A good script waited for no one. But as you know, their director isnt well-known and has always beencking in investment, so we have to wait until they get the investment before the filming can start However, if we can get the word out that youre the lead actress, many investors will definitely want to invest in this drama. No need, Lin Shanchu saidzily. Ill invest in it. How much money do theyck? Since she could earn money, why should she give the opportunity to others? She would invest in the drama that she was cast and take her cut. Qi Cheng remembered that Lin Shanchu still had 300 million yuan in her hand. His artist was simply a rich woman. She could definitely afford to invest in a drama series. Well have to negotiate with them again. Go ahead. Money is not a problem. She was too arrogant. Suddenly, Lin Shanchus phone vibrated. It was a message from Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu unlocked the phone and read the message. Huo Xunzhou: [Dont forget to give your assistant and manager red packets after they started to work. They are in the small drawer next to the sofa.] Oh right. Red packets for the start of work! Lin Shanchu opened the drawer and really saw two thick red packets inside. Lin Shanchu took them out and gave one to Qi Cheng and He Xiang respectively. After that, the two of them left. Lin Shanchu held her phone and sent Huo Xunzhou a message. Lin Shanchu: [Ive already given them the red packets.] Huo Xunzhou: [Mhm.] It was a simple reply in Huo Xunzhous style. Lin Shanchu guessed that he was probably busy at the moment. In the morning, she was still hoping that Huo Xunzhou would leave early and note back in the near future. But now, she was starting to miss him. Lin Shanchu: [[Kiss.jpg]] Huo Xunzhou: [Im in a meeting.] He was indeed busy. Some president looked serious in a meeting, but in fact, he was secretly sending messages to his girlfriend under the conference table. Lin Shanchu: [Oh.] Huo Xunzhou: [Have they left?] Lin Shanchu: [Yeah.] Huo Xunzhou: [Go back and sleep for a while.] Speaking of this, Lin Shanchu felt that she did not miss Huo Xunzhou anymore. She put down her phone. When she looked up, she met Number 1357s curious gaze. Number 1357s gaze looked very pure as he asked, You didnt sleep wellst night? Lin Shanchu fell silent for a moment and red at him. How could you peek at someone elses chat history? I only saw a little. Number 1357 had an innocent look on his face and did not think that he had done anything wrong. Lin Shanchu kicked him and said, Youre not allowed to peek at the chat history between me and Huo Xunzhou in the future. Number 1357 easily avoided the kick. Oh. Lin Shanchus phone on the table rang again. It was a call from Huo Chaosheng. We agreed to have dinner together after the New Year, but you havent contacted me. Are you really going to stand me up? When Lin Shanchu picked up the phone, Huo Chaoshengs angry roar made her ear go numb. She rubbed her ear and spoke coldly, Whats your problem? Huo Chaosheng was probably a masochist. When Lin Shanchus tone turned cold, he also cooled off. When he spoke again, his tone was much pleasant than before. Do you still treat me as a friend? Im so bored, but you dont want to hang out with me. You even fob me off with excuses when I want to have a dinner with you! Im free today Forget it, lets do it tomorrow, Lin Shanchu said as she held her sore waist. She had to rest well at home today. Huo Xunzhous thoughtfulness was reflected in all aspects. Even when he was about to be rough on her in bed, he would ask her if she had work tomorrow. This scheming man always caught her off guard. Huo Chaosheng sneered on the other end of the phone. You said itd be today, but you said tomorrow the next moment. Can you be more precise? Tomorrow for sure. Alright, Ill believe you one more time. Lin Shanchu rudely hung up the phone before Huo Chaosheng could do so. After putting down the phone, Lin Shanchu was lost in thought. Lin Shanchu was discussing something with Qi Cheng and He Xiang just now, so Number 1357 had muted the television. He turned around and looked at Lin Shanchu.. While adjusting the volume, he asked, What are you thinking about? Chapter 463 - 463: Everyone’s Fate Is Closely Related to You Chapter 463 - 463: Everyones Fate Is Closely Rted to You Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu leaned back on the sofa and looked thoughtfully at Number 1357. Tell me Why is Huo Chaosheng so insistent on having dinner with me? Maybe its because hes dying to have dinner with you. Number 1357s words did not sound like an answer. However, Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes and thought about it carefully. She felt that Number 1357 was implying something. Why does Huo Chaosheng suddenly want to have dinner with me? Maybe its because As Number 1357 spoke, he suddenly paused. Are you trying to worm information out of me? Lin Shanchu stared at Number 1357, not letting go of any minute changes in his expression. Have you read the original plot behind my back? If Number 1357 had not known something from reading the original plot, he would not have said such unfathomable words. Number 1357s face was filled with frustration after he was seen through. I cant tell you. These words undoubtedly confirmed Lin Shanchus guess. Lin Shanchu ignored Number 1357s words and began to ask him enthusiastically about the original plot. What was the original plot like? Whos the male lead? Whats the secret behind Huo Xunzhous mothers death? Or, whos Huo Chaoshengs biological mother? Every time Lin Shanchu asked a question, Number 1357 would shake his head. He had a determined look on his face. No matter how Lin Shanchu asked him, he would never reveal any information to her. At first, Lin Shanchu tried to persuade him nicely. Towards the end, her patience ran out. Are you going to tell me or not? If you dont tell me, Ill confiscate your television and give you no sweets. This move was obviously very useful because Number 1357 had a conflicted look on his face. He hesitated for a while and sighed in disappointment. If you arent going to give me the sweets, so be it. Was he so unyielding? Lin Shanchu didn not understand him. Im the female lead, so I have the right to know the original plot. Number 1357s expression did not waver at all, as if he would rather die than submit. He used to go along with her in everything. This was the first time Lin Shanchu saw him stubbornly reject her request. It seemed like he really would not talk about it. Lin Shanchu suppressed her anger and softened her tone. Why cant you tell Number 1357 looked serious as he replied, You will know in the future. Lin Shanchu stopped forcing him. She changed the topic back to Huo Chaosheng. Then tell me, why does Huo Chaosheng insist on having dinner with me this time? Huo Chaosheng was not in his right mind. She could not guess what Huo Chaosheng was going to do. Number 1357 slowly said, Youll know when you get there. Lin Shanchu was speechless. She took a deep breath and spoke, You cant talk about this either? Number 1357 stopped talking and chose to remain silent. Lin Shanchu had no other option. She stared at the ceiling and slowly talked to herself about her spection in her mind. Huo Chaosheng and I have no conflict of interest. The only possible point of conflict between us is Huo Xunzhou. He likes Huo Xunzhou, and so do I. After a moment of pause, Lin Shanchu suddenly muttered to herself, Hes not trying to break me and Huo Xunzhou up again, is he? Number 1357 shook his head silently. Whats the reason then? Youll know when you get there. Number 1357 gave the same answer. Lin Shanchu thought for a moment and asked, What if I dont go? You will go, Number 1357 replied with a smile. Why? Because whatsing wille. Lin Shanchu resisted the urge to punch him and shouted, Speak like a human! Im not human Number 1357 muttered. When Number 1357 saw Lin Shanchu clenching her fists, he continued to speak honestly. You are the female lead, so everyones fate is closely rted to you. ording to the development of the plot, the story will graduallye to an end, and everyone will have their own ending. Huo Chaosheng is an important supporting character. His ending is directly rted to you. No matter what happens, you will go there to have dinner with him. Number 1357s tone was over-serious, so Lin Shanchus expression involuntarily turned serious as well. Are you saying that this dinner is rted to Huo Chaoshengs ending? Yes. In that case, I really have no choice but to go there. Lin Shanchu lowered her voice. She knew that Number 1357 might not answer her question, but still she asked, Whats Huo Chaoshengs ending? She had known Huo Chaosheng for so long. She knew Huo Chaoshengs personality like the back of her hand. Judging from Huo Chaoshengs style of doing things, it was natural that he had dirtied his hands. She could guess that Huo Chaosheng would probably not get a decent ending. Everyones ending is their own karma. Lin Shanchu felt that the current Number 1357 was not as likable as the previous Number 1357 who knew nothing about the original plot. He knew how to mystify people now. Lin Shanchu did not want to chat with him anymore. Just as she was about to leave after standing up, she thought of something. Tnen, sne turnea to mm ana asKea, Will my lire De m aanger 11 1 go ana nave dinner with him? It was rare for Number 1357 to look arrogantly at her as if she was a fool. Youre the female lead. If the female lead dies, there will be no more ending. Oh. In that case, she was relieved. She still wanted to marry Huo Xunzhou. A happy life had just begun. The next day, Number 1357 did not follow Lin Shanchu when she went to the appointment. Lin Shanchu worriedly asked Number 1357 before she left. Is it really not life-threatening? What if Huo Chaosheng wants to kill me and I kill him instead? Will I go to jail? He wont kill you. Arent you friends with Huo Chaosheng? Number 1357 helplessly looked at her and asked, Why do you think he wants to kill you? Hes a friend. He once risked his life to drive into Lu Shiyuan for my sake, but that doesnt mean he wont stick a knife into me. Lin Shanchu said calmly, Its not like you dont know that hes not right in the head. Actually, youre not normal either Number 1357 mumbled. I heard you! Lin Shanchu stared coldly at him as her face darkened. Number 1357 immediately made a zipping gesture around his mouth to indicate that he had shut up. Lin Shanchu drove out alone. On the way, she received a call from Huo Xunzhou. Where are you? Have you eaten dinner? Im about to go out to eat dinner. Are you together with Number 1357? What about you? Have you eaten dinner? Lin Shanchu did not know why she had concealed the fact that she was going to have dinner with Huo Chaosheng. She did not tell Huo Xunzhou that she was going to have dinner with Huo Chaosheng until she hung up the phone. Lin Shanchu felt that something was wrong. This feeling was too familiar. She called Number 1357. Did you do something to me? she questioned Number 1357 as soon as the call went through. Before Number 1357 could speak, she sneered, Youve started to use your systems ability to force me to follow the plot, havent you? Logically speaking, she would have told Huo Xunzhou about her dinner with Huo Chaosheng. However, she did not say anything just now. She felt that Number 1357 had been controlling her to follow the plot from the moment he talked to her yesterday about everyones ending.. Chapter 464 - 464: Did He Tell You? Chapter 464 - 464: Did He Tell You? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Number 1357 was silent for a long time before he apologized to her in a low voice. Im sorry. How are you different from Number 2580?! Shanshan, Im different from Number 2580. Im doing this for your own good and I really hope that youll be fine. You dont have to embellish your statement. You know that I hate being controlled and forced by others, but still you secretly control my will and force me to follow the plot. Lin Shanchu became extremely emotional as Number 1357 touched a sore spot with her. Number 1357 fell silent for a long time. After Lin Shanchu gradually calmed down, he opened his mouth. Shanshan, this is the first time Im forcing you to follow the plot, and its also thest time. Please believe me Beep! A short busy tone sounded from the phone. This daughter had a bad temper and was not as easy to coax as the other daughters. However, she could not be med for this. Her life was not supposed to be like this. It was all his fault. However, everything was about to end. She would get the life that originally belonged to her and the ending that she deserved. Lin Shanchu was fueled by anger after the call with Number 1357. She lost her reason and almost floored the elerator. However, her rationality was quickly restored, allowing her to control the car speed within the safe limits. She was so angry that she wanted to go back and smash Number 1357s TV. However, when she drove to the intersection, she did not turn to drive back to Huo Xunzhous house. Instead, she drove straight to the restaurant where she had agreed to meet Huo Chaosheng. She Imew that Number 1357 was up to no good again. Number 1357 was better than Number 2580 in this aspect. When Number 2580 forced her to follow the plot at the critical moment back then, she could clearly feel its control over her. However, Number 1357 was different. His control was subtle and silent. Lin Shanchu did not even realize it when she was under his control. She only realized it after the incident. No wonder Number 1357 always said that Number 2580 was trash. From this point, she could tell that Number 2580 was really useless. Lin Shanchu was distracted on the way, but the car stopped safely in front of the restaurant. Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on her car window. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Chaoshengs face pressing against the car window. Lin Shanchu pulled out the car keys and got out of the car. Huo Chaosheng stood outside and helped her open the car door. YOU are quite punctual. Lin Shanchu was in a bad mood, so she gave him a dirty look. Huo Chaosheng was already used to Lin Shanchu giving him a dirty look, so he naturally mmed the car door shut and followed her. Lin Shanchu locked the car and put the car keys into her bag. Why did you drive Third Brothers car? Huo Chaosheng turned around and looked at the car that Lin Shanchu had just driven over. Lin Shanchu had randomly picked this car from Huo Xunzhous garage. There were so many cars in Huo Xunzhous garage, but she did not expect that Huo Chaosheng would recognize it so quickly. Thats because Im living with your Third Brother now, Lin Shanchu saidzily with her hands in her pockets. You moved to Third Brothers house? Yeah. But hasnt he been staying at the Huo familys old mansion recently? Yes, is there a problem? He left you alone at home? Upon hearing those words, Lin Shanchu stopped and turned to look at Huo Chaosheng. Cant he leave me alone at home? Huo Chaosheng had always thought that she was unworthy of Huo Xunzhou. He even thought that Huo Xunzhou got together with her because of him. From what he said, it sounded like he subconsciously thought that Huo Xunzhou loved her very much and would never leave her alone at home. Huo Chaosheng raised his eyebrows and said, With Third Brothers personality, he wouldnt do something like leaving his girlfriend alone at home. It turned out that he thought that Huo Xunzhou was a considerate boyfriend. In the end, wasnt he praising Huo Xunzhou? The plot was about to end, but he still had a brotherplex. He was hopeless. Thats because he has to go back to the Huo familys old mansion to do some important business. Lin Shanchus eyes shed before she averted her gaze and continued walking. Since she was already here, she might as well try to worm some information out of this stubborn man, Huo Chaosheng. The waiter led the two of them to a private room. The door closed, leaving Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng alone in the room. Huo Chaosheng sat down opposite Lin Shanchu. What business requires Third Brother to go back to the old mansion? Dont you know? Lin Shanchu asked, sizing him up while holding her chin. He didnt tell you? Did he tell you? Huo Chaoshengs face darkened. Lin Shanchu suddenlyughed. He didnt tell me either, but She paused for a moment with her clear eyes fixed on him. I think you should be able to guess what hes going to do when he returned to the old mansion. I dont know. Huo Chaosheng denied without hesitation. Lin Shanchu looked regretful. What a pity. I wanted to ask you what he was going to do when he returned to the old mansion. Lets order food. Huo Chaosheng lowered his eyes and pushed the menu to Lin Shanchu. It was Lin Shanchus first time at this restaurant, so she did not know how the food here tasted like. Huo Chaosheng was as generous as ever. He allowed her to order dishes without saying a word. After ordering the dishes, Lin Shanchu chatted with him with a natural expression. Where have you been in the past few days? Where else do you think Id be? Lin Shanchu could hear a hint of resentment in Huo Chaoshengs tone. Hmph! Huo Chaosheng snorted when he noticed her silence. I spent the past few days outside with those people. Who are they? I dont remember their names. Many people invited Huo Chaosheng to hang out with them. He did not know most of them and only hung out with them to pass the time. After hanging out for a few days, he could not even remember the names of those people. Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment, trying to sense the misery behind Huo Chaoshengs words. She pretended not to hear him and smiled. The more the merrier. Isnt that nice? You have no conscience, Huo Chaosheng said expressionlessly. Its not like its the first day youve known me. Lin Shanchu slowly picked up the ss of water in front of her and took a sip. Why was Huo Chaosheng spouting such nonsense to her? When would he get to the main topic? She really wanted to know why Huo Chaosheng had asked her out today. Furthermore, she also wanted to know what his ending would be. After a while, the waiter began to serve the dishes. Huo Chaosheng seemed to have a bad appetite and stopped after eating a little. Have you epted any new dramas recently? The food in this restaurant tasted good. The stewed chicken was soft and fragrant. Lin Shanchu swallowed the chicken before she spoke slowly, Ive been negotiating a mystery drama recently. Im nning to invest in it myself. Have you signed the contract? No, its still under negotation. Lin Shanchu couldnt help but be wary when she saw Huo Chaosheng acting like he wanted to chat with her. Huo Chaosheng was not the kind of person who would normally talk to his friends about their current life situation. It would be more normal if he were to discuss fighting and killing with her. Lin Shanchu started to stir up trouble. Huo Zhuxiu is so nice to you, but why do you hate him? Chapter 465 - 465: Sorry, The Number You Have Dialed Is Temporarily Unavailable… Chapter 465 - 465: Sorry, The Number You Have Dialed Is Temporarily Unavable Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Chaosheng had an arrogant personality and showed his likes and dislikes on his face. He never concealed his hatred for Huo Zhuxiu. As Huo Chaoshengs friend, Lin Shanchu should not have taken the initiative to bring up this matter when he did not want to talk about it. Now that she had taken the initiative to mention it, wasnt she trying to stir up trouble? Huo Chaoshengs expression, which was not gentle to begin with, darkened immediately. Lin Shanchu had achieved her goal. Although youre an unreasonable person, youre not someone who cant distinguish between good and bad. Huo Zhuxiu has been treating you so well. Logically speaking, you shouldnt hate him even if you dont return the favor. She spoke slowly while paying attention to the changes in Huo Chaoshengs expression. Huo Chaosheng looked coldly at Lin Shanchu. Are you trying to anger me? Huo Chaosheng gently rubbed his forehead and murmured, Lin Shanchu, cant we finish this dinner properly? His voice was very soft, but the private room was extremely quiet. Therefore, Lin Shanchu managed to hear him clearly. Besides, his tone carried a hint of helplessness. Lin Shanchu vaguely felt that this dinner seemed to be some sort of ritual for Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng looked up like a normal person and said nicely, Lets talk after dinner, okay? Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and nodded lightly. After that, she did not deliberately stir up trouble. Huo Chaosheng returned to his usual self and chatted with her about her recent life like a normal friend. As Huo Chaosheng spoke, he suddenly said in a strange tone, Its different now. His words were without rhyme or reason, making Lin Shanchu frown slightly. Whats different? Drink some wine. Huo Chaosheng suddenly picked up the wine bottle. Lin Shanchu refused his offer. I still have to drive home. Ill get you a chauffeur. Huo Chaosheng lifted his chin and gestured for her to bring the wine ss over. Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before passing the wine ss over. Since she was already here, it was not life-threatening anyway. She might as well drink some wine. Clink! The two of them raised their sses and clinked them together, making a clear sound. After clinking sses, the two of them looked at each other at the same time when they withdrew their hands. Unsurprisingly, they saw wariness in each others eyes. They were locked in stalemate for a long time. Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaoshengughed. In a sense, they did have a tacit understanding and sympathized with each other. Huo Chaosheng looked at her with a faint smile. Youre right to guard against me because I drugged the cup. You can choose not to drink it. Is it a deadly poison? Of course not. Youre my only friend. I cant bear to part with you. Huo Chaosheng looked calm as if he was discussing the taste of the red wine with her. It was hard to tell whether his words were sincere or fake. However, Lin Shanchu trusted her instincts. She did not feel that Huo Chaosheng wanted to kill her. She could even see a trace of sincerity in Huo Chaoshengs eyes. Besides, she could not control her hands. She had no choice but to drink this wine. Lin Shanchu curled her lip and smiled at Huo Chaosheng. Then, she raised her head and downed the wine in her ss. Huo Chaoshengs expression darkened as he stared coldly at her. The feeling of dizziness came swiftly. Lin Shanchu felt a surge of heavy-headedness and began to fall weakly onto the table as her neck could not support her. In the end, she copsed weakly onto the table. Before shepletely lost consciousness, she saw Huo Chaosheng slowly get up and walk towards her. He looked at her and sighed. We are different. Lin Shanchus lips moved slightly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquitos. In the first ce, were Different. Before she could say thest word, shepletely lost consciousness. The window in the room was opened. The wind blew. It was probably a room facing the sun. The sunlight shone in, making one feel warm all over. In a daze, Lin Shanchu could feel the temperature and sound of her surroundings. The surroundings were very quiet. No one spoke, but there was only the sound of the wind. She even vaguely heard birds chirping. The weather was frosty after the New Year. Why would there be birds chirping? Gradually, the chirping of the birds became clearer. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes and was blinded by the sunlight shining in through the window. She stretched out her hand to block the sunlight. After gradually adapting to the bright light, she slowly sat up from the bed. The sunlight illuminated the spacious room. The mild decoration style gave her a warm andfortable feeling. Lin Shanchu briefly recalled what happened before she lost consciousness. Huo Chaosheng had really spiked the wine. He had used the wine to knock her out and brought her here. Thinking of this, Lin Shanchu couldnt help but look up at the furnishings in the room again. No matter how she looked at it, it was not Huo Chaoshengs style to have such cozy furnishings. Lin Shanchu stood up and walked to the window. She was shocked when she saw what was outside. There was an endless jungle all around. There was no sign of human habitation. What was that perverted Huo Chaosheng trying to do? Lin Shanchu turned around, put on her shoes and ran to the door. She held the doorknob and gently twisted it, opening the door. Surprisingly, he did not lock the door? Lin Shanchu walked out of the room, ran to the end of the corridor and went down the spiral staircase. There was no one in the empty foyer. Lin Shanchu walked to the front door and tried to pull it open, but she realized that it would not budge. It turned out that the door was locked. She tried calling Huo Chaosheng by his name. Huo Chaosheng! She called out several times, but only heard her own echo. There was no one else in this house except her. Where was Huo Chaosheng? Why did he lock her here? When Lin Shanchu recalled what Huo Chaosheng had done to Yun Wu, she vaguely understood him. Huo Xunzhou wanted to imprison her. For what? To threaten Huo Xunzhou? Huo Chaoshengs personality was unpredictable. He had risked his life for her sake, but in the blink of an eye, he imprisoned her. Would he do the same to Huo Xunzhou? He used to like Huo Xunzhou so much, but what about now? What did he want to do to Huo Xunzhou? Number 1357 said that everyones ending was closely rted to her. He also said that it might not be a happy ending. Yesterday, he only said that her life was not in danger, but he never said that Huo Xunzhous life would not be in danger. Lin Shanchus face turned pale as she held onto the door and slowly slid to the ground. Nothing bad could have happened to Huo Xunzhou. Big Brother, shall we set off for the dinner party now? Li MO pushed open the door and walked into Huo Xunzhous office when it was almost time to get off work. Huo Xunzhou looked up at him and continued to read the documents in his hands. Go in my ce. Me again? Li MO looked troubled. He really did not want to dine with those strangers. Everyone at the dinner party spoke in riddles and was very hard to deal with, so he could not understand a word they said. However, Huo Xunzhou always liked to order him to attend dinner parties in his ce. Yeah. Huo Xunzhou said confidently, Im going to have dinner with Shanshan. Li MOs eyes lit up. It turned out that Huo Xunzhou was going to have dinner with Lin Shanchu. He gritted his teeth and sighed. Ill go. He would sacrifice himself for justice. Huo Xunzhou closed the document and took out his phone to call Lin Shanchu. Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavable Chapter 466 - 466: There Was Only One Person With The Greatest Motive Chapter 466 - 466: There Was Only One Person With The Greatest Motive Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The call did not go through? The call did not go through? Huo Xunzhou raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was almost 6:00 p.m. Where could Lin Shanchu be at this time? When he was chatting with her on WeChat in the morning, he specifically asked her if she had any ns today. At that time, she said that she did not have any ns today. After the call hung up automatically, Huo Xunzhou called again. The same mechanical female voice was heard from the phone. Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavable Big Brother, whats wrong? Li MO asked when he noticed something was wrong with Huo Xunzhous expression. I tried phoning Shanshan, I couldnt get through. Im going home, Huo Xunzhou stood up and walked out. Li MO quickly grabbed the car keys and Huo Xunzhous jacket before following him. Big brother, wait for me! Huo Xunzhou was anxious. When he reached the parking lot, he snatched the car keys from Li MO and got into the car. Li MO reacted quickly and got into the passenger seat. Before he could buckle the seatbelt, Huo Xunzhou stepped on the elerator and drove off. Li MO did not dare to say a word. He silently buckled the seatbelt and held the roof handle above his head to stabilize his body. Huo Xunzhou sped all the way home. The car came to a sudden stop. Li MO felt that if the car door had not blocked him, he would have been thrown out. By the time he steadied himself, Huo Xunzhou already opened the door and got out of the car, running towards the vi. Li MO quickly followed him. The door inside was closed, but not locked. Huo Xunzhou pushed open the door and quickly looked around. Shanshan! There was no one in the living room. Huo Xunzhou strode upstairs. Li MO stayed downstairs and searched carefully. He went upstairs to search for Lin Shanchu when he confirmed there was no one else downstairs. Huo Xunzhou pushed open the door to the bedroom. It was pitch-ck in the room at dusk. Huo Xunzhou turned on the lights and the room instantly lit up. As the wind blew in through the half-open window, the curtains swayed in the wind. Huo Xunzhou checked the bathroom and walk-in closet, but Lin Shanchu was nowhere to be found. The makeup on the dressing table showed traces of usage. There was a box of eyeshadow on the dressing table that she forgot to put away. Lin Shanchu was bing more and more like a female celebrity. Basically, she would put on makeup whenever she went out. When he called her in the afternoon, she said she was going out for lunch. Her tone sounded normal at that time, and there was nothing unusual about it. However, when he asked her if she was going out for lunch with Number 1357, she did not answer him directly. Whom did she have lunch with? When Huo Xunzhou came out of the bedroom, Li MO ran over, panting. Big Brother, Ive searched everywhere else, but I havent seen Sister-inw and her uncle. Huo Xunzhous expression froze. Number 1357 liked to follow Lin Shanchu closely. If they were together at this moment, it would be good. Could it be that Sister-inw went out to have dinner with her uncle? Li MO guessed. Huo Xunzhou did not say a word. Instead, he took out his phone and continued to call Lin Shanchu. The response on the other end of the phone was the same as before and the call did not go through. Li Mos guess might be reasonable, but if he could not see Lin Shanchu in person, he would be on tenterhooks. Huo Xunzhou clenched his phone and fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, he asked, Is there any movement from Lu Shiyuan? Li MO shook his head. Ever since Tang Qidai passed away, Lu Shiyuan could neither get any money nor afford food. I just called and asked the brothers who were keeping an eye on Lu Shiyuan. They said that he went to steal something just now and is being chased and beaten up. Who else could it be but Lu Shiyuan? If Lin Shanchu did not go to lunch with Number 1357 and was not taken away by Lu Shiyuan, what would the real situation be like? Huo Xunzhou frowned and pursed his lips, trying to calm himself down and think about the problem. Lin Shanchu calmly went out with makeup and dined with someone. This meant that the person she was dining with was probably someone she knew and had a normal rtionship with. If it was really someone she knew, then the scope could be narrowed down further. She did not know many people in Capital City. Huo Xunzhou strode downstairs while picking up his phone to make a call. vvCLC people he and Lin Shanchu interacted with. Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment when he scrolled to Huo Chaoshengs name with his finger. The next second, he dialed Huo Chaoshengs number. The phone rang for a while before it was answered. Third Brother? Huo Chaoshengs surroundings were quiet and empty, and a faint echo was heard when he spoke. Where are you? Huo Xunzhou asked. Didnt I tell you a few days ago? I flew out of the country this morning. Have you forgotten? Huo Chaosheng had told him about this matter. At that time, Huo Chaosheng said that he wanted to have a meal with Huo Xunzhou before going abroad. However, Huo Xunzhou refused him because he had his hands full. I knew you forgot. Huo Chaosheng sighed, sounding a little disappointed. Lets not talk about it anymore. Im very sleepy after the ne has justnded. I need to rest. Huo Chaosheng hung up the phone after finished speaking. Huo Xunzhou held his phone and pondered for a moment. Then, he turned around and instructed Li Mo. Go and check if Chaosheng has really gone abroad. When Li MO came back, Huo Xunzhou already called everyone whom Lin Shanchu knew. Only Yun Wu had not received his call. When he called Yun Wu, her assistant answered the phone and said that she had been working. Big Brother, Huo Chaosheng has really gone overseas. He booked his flight a long time ago. He was supposed to leave tomorrow, but he changed his flight date yesterday and left early in the morning. Li MO showed Huo Xunzhou the boarding records. Huo Xunzhou called Lin Shanchu again. The call still could not go through. Li MO saw Huo Xunzhous gloomy face and did not dare to ask him what he was thinking. He quietly picked up his phone and dialed a number. Her uncle isnt picking up the phone Lin Suguang! Huo Xunzhou abruptly raised his head. I called her uncle a few times, but he didnt pick up the phone. Li MO nodded. How could he have forgotten about Number 1357? Huo Xunzhou quickly called Number 1357. As expected, no one picked up he muttered. Lin Shanchus phone number was unavable, whereas no one picked up Number 1357s phone. Therefore, the two of them were not together at all. Lin Shanchu went out alone at noon. Huo Xunzhou recalled their conversation at noon. Only then did he realize that when he asked her if she was going to have lunch with Number 1357 she seemed to have changed the topic! However, did she have to hide whom she was going to have lunch with? Besides, she could not possibly make him unable to contact her for no reason. She was so smart, so it was impossible for her to be taken away quietly. Everything returned to the beginning. She did not disappear for no reason. She must have taken the initiative to meet someone she knew and then disappeared. Among the people who knew Lin Shanchu, there was only one person with the greatest mouve. Huo Xunzhou suddenly turned around and ran upstairs again.. Chapter 467 - 467: Hiding Her In This Sunless Room Chapter 467 - 467: Hiding Her In This Sunless Room Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xunzhou kicked open the door to the study and went straight to the desk to turn on theputer. Li MO came over and realized that Huo Xunzhou was trying to locate something. Big Brother, what are you locating? Huo Chaoshengs phone. Huo Xunzhou did not look up as his hands kept typing on theputer. Soon, the location became clear. Li MO looked at it and said shockingly, That location is the Huo familys old mansion? Huo Chaosheng has gone abroad, hasnt he? Huo Xunzhous expression was gloomy, and his voice sounded like it was filled with crushed ice. Lets go the Huo familys old mansion! Huo Chaosheng had the audacity toy a hand on Yun Wu back then, and now he dared toy a hand on Lin Shanchu. He was definitely involved in this matter. He had always been too kind to Huo Chaosheng. Otherwise, Huo Chaosheng would not have dared to act so recklessly. By the time they arrived at the Huo familys old mansion, the sky was already dark. Huo Xunzhou heard themotion inside as soon as he got out of the car. Dont call the ambnce. The master said not to call the ambnce! What are you waiting for? Go and get the masters private doctor! Hurry up and pack up these things! Ive already called a doctor The butler had a serious look on his face as he arranged tasks for the household servants. When he turned around, he saw Huo Xunzhou striding through the door. Young Master, what brings you here? Wheres Huo Chaosheng? Huo Xunzhou asked solemnly. Young Master, just now he Where did he go? I dont know. The butler sighed heavily and continued, Young Master, why dont you go and take a look at the master? He Huo Xunzhou could vaguely guess what had happened judging from the butlers instructions to the servants. However, he couldnt care less about Huo Zhuxius life or death right now. Huo Xunzhou called out Li Mos name as if he had not heard anything. Ill get someone to find Huo Chaoshengs whereabouts now. Li MO tacitly understood Huo Xunzhous intention and turned around to make a call. Why did Huo Chaoshenge back? Huo Xunzhou asked the butler. He, I The butler stammered, unable to exin himself. The butler had been working for the Huo family for decades. It was natural that he naturally knew some of the Huo familys secrets. He was very loyal, so Huo Xunzhou did not pry anything out of him during his stay in the Huo family. Huo Xunzhou did not make things difficult for the butler. Instead, he strode inside to look for Huo Zhuxiu. After entering the foyer, Huo Xunzhou realized that it was a mess inside. It was as if they had encountered bandits. Huo Xunzhou went upstairs and saw blood at the door to Huo Zhuxius study. The blood trail started from the study and connected to Huo Zhuxius bedroom. Huo Zhuxiu was injured. It did not take him long to realize that it was Huo Chaoshengs doing. Huo Chaosheng was unstable and had an unpredictable personality. It seemed that he had never treated Huo Zhuxiu as his biological father. Huo Xunzhou was not surprised at all that he would do something so cruel to Huo Zhuxiu. Huo Xunzhou was about to push the door open with his raised hand and enter the study, but then the door to Huo Zhuxius bedroom suddenly opened. Immediately afterwards, Huo Zhuxius hoarse and weak voice sounded. Youre not allowed to enter the study! Huo Xunzhou turned around and saw Huo Zhuxiu sitting in a wheelchair with a pale face. He was struggling to control the electric wheelchair to slowly move over. Huo Zhuxiu was wearing loose ck pajamas, and it was obvious that his chest was soaked in liquid. As he got closer, Huo Xunzhou smelled blood. Huo Xunzhou coldly curled his lip as Huo Zhuxiu wanted to stop him from entering the study without even bandaging his wound. As expected, there was a secret hidden in this study. He had been to this study a few times, but he had not found anything special. However, Huo Zhuxiu had been keeping the study heavily guarded, so Huo Xunzhou felt that he must have missed out on something. He had originally nned to return to the house tonight to take a closer look at Huo Zhuxius study. Huo Xunzhou pushed open the study door without hesitation. Huo Zhuxius furious voice rang behind him. Unfilial son! Huo Xunzhou walked straight in as if he had not heard anything. The study was in a mess. Porcin fragments, various documents and books were scattered on the ground. Other than being a little messy, the furnishings in the study did not look any different from before. But soon, Huo Xunzhou noticed something unusual. The bookshelf behind the desk seemed to be a little loose. Behind him, his father, who had always been high and mighty, shouted at the top of his lungs, Where have all these people gone? Get this unfilial son out Huo Zhuxiu, who had lost too much blood, roared so hard that his wounds had torn open. Then, his vision went dark as he lost the strength to scream. The doctor whom the butler had called for rushed over at this moment. Hurry up and help Mr. Huo back to his room so that his wound can be treated. Struggling, Huo Zhuxiu shook off the servants hand and pointed at Huo Xunzhou with a trembling finger. Get him out Chase him out Huo Xunzhou was standing in front of the bookshelf and checking if there was anything unusual. The servants looked at each other and none of them dared to go forward. Huo Xunzhou had already taken over Huo Corporation. In addition, he had been acting recklessly during his stay in the Huo familys old mansion, and even Huo Zhuxiu could not do anything about him. Therefore, everyone gradually knew that the owner of this house had changed. Huo Xunzhou fumbled around the bookshelf for a while and found something that looked like a button under an ornament on one of the shelves. He turned to look thoughtfully at Huo Zhuxiu. Huo Zhuxius eyes widened as he gritted his teeth and red at him. Huo Xunzhou! It seemed that he had found the right ce. Huo Xunzhou slowly pressed the button. ng! The dull sound of some heavy object opening and closing was heard. You Huo Zhuxiu finally fainted from anger. The butler looked at Huo Xunzhou deeply with a solemn expression. He did not say anything and just led the servants to take Huo Zhuxiu back to his room. Huo Xunzhou looked up and opened the door. He hade to the study so many times, but he had never thought that there would be a hidden passage in the study. He walked through the opened door, stepped on the stairs that extended downward, and passed through a long dark corridor. The sensor lights lit up gradually. At the end of the long corridor was a European retro carved door with high quality. He reached out and pushed open the carved door, and what came into sight was a meticulously decorated room. The entire room was in a retro European style, from the small hanging ornaments on the wall to the sofa in the middle of the roomthey were all discontinued products. Every item in the room was something that many retro home enthusiasts could not get even if they spent a lot of money. There was not a speck of dust in the room. The clean coffee machine on the bar counter showed signs of long-term use. There was a womans long hair on the bathroom floor. There was a woodenb and many skincare products on the dressing table in the bedroom. All the traces indicated that someone had been living here. Furthermore, it was a woman. To Huo Zhuxiu, she was a very important woman. She was so important that he had to hide her in this sunless room. If his guess was correct, Huo Chaosheng had taken away that woman. That unpredictable younger brother of his really knew a lot of Huo Zhuxius secrets. He even knew that there was a woman living in the basement that Huo Zhuxiu had meticulously built.. Chapter 468 - 468: Lin Shanchu, Do You Really Think I Won ‘t Kill You? Chapter 468: Lin Shanchu, Do You Really Think I Won t Kill You? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The fact that Huo Chaosheng was able to find this meticulously decorated Dasement meant tnat ne naa Known aDOut tnat woman s existence all along. Huo Chaosheng barged into the old mansion just in time and took her away when Huo Xunzhou was about to discover the secret in Huo Zhuxius study. This meant that the woman was someone rted to Huo Chaosheng. It could even be said that that woman was very important to Huo Chaosheng. Otherwise, Huo Chaosheng would not have taken the risk toy a hand on Lin Shanchu to divert Huo Xunzhous attention so that he could seize the opportunity to take that woman away. At this moment, Huo Xunzhou finally had answers to many questions that he could not figure out in the past. Big Brother? Li MO barged in with his men. When he saw Huo Xunzhou standing in the middle of the room, his heart finally settled. He then turned around and began to look around the room. Li MO eximed, Such a ce actually exists underneath the study! You didnt catch up to Huo Chaosheng? Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him, his eyes full of understanding. Li MO looked a little guilty as he said, After I went out, I chased after him for a while. Later on, I realized that I was going after the wrong car.. He has always been smart. Its normal that you cant catch up to him. Huo Xunzhou knew his younger brothers personality very well. Huo Chaosheng had many tricks up his sleeve, so it was normal for Li MO to lose to him. Was Huo Chaosheng the one who took Sister-inw away? Li MO asked worriedly. Yes. Huo Xunzhou was certain that Huo Chaosheng had taken Lin Shanchu away. He had tried to stop Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng from interacting with each other in the beginning. Butter on, he realized that Lin Shanchu did not hate Huo Chaosheng, nor did Huo Chaosheng have any ill intentions towards Lin Shanchu. Therefore, he turned a blind eye and allowed their interactions. At that time, Lin Shanchu neither had many friends nor much expectations for life. He wanted Lin Shanchu to make more friends and try something different. In a sense, Huo Chaosheng was Lin Shanchus special friend. Lin Shanchu had always been on guard. Based on his understanding of her, she would definitely be on guard against Huo Chaosheng, who had an unpredictable personality. Logically speaking, Huo Chaosheng would not be able to take her away easily. However, she was taken away by Huo Chaosheng quietly. Why was this happening? When Lin Shanchu woke up again, it was already dusk. The living room was dark without the lights on, and she could see the gray sky through the window. When she went downstairs, she fumbled around the tightly shut door for a while. After confirming that the door could not be opened, she checked the entire building up and down again. There was no exit. After that, she returned to the living room and felt a little dizzy. She guessed that the drug Huo Chaosheng had given her was too strong. As a result, she still felt listless even though she was awake. She fumbled her way to the sofa and fell into a deep sleep after a while. Lin Shanchu stared out the window for a while before slowly sitting up. The dizziness and powerlessness had disappeared. Her phone was not with her, her watch was missing, and there was no clock in the living room. She did not know what time it was, but she knew it was probably dinner time because she was a little hungry. Lin Shanchu leanedzily on the sofa and waited quietly. She waited for Huo Chaosheng to bring her food. Huo Chaosheng would never let her starve to death. He had already said that she was his only friend. How could he bear to let her die? After an unknown amount of time, there was movement at the door when Lin Shanchu was about to fall asleep again. ng! The door opened. A familiar figure appeared in her line of sight against the gray sky. In fact, Huo Chaosheng and Huo Xunzhou had simr figures. Lin Shanchu could not see his face clearly, but he could tell that the person standing at the door was Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng finally brought her some food. Lin Shanchu sat up straight. Huo Chaosheng, who was standing by the door, took the initiative to speak. Why didnt you turn on the lights? His tone was so calm that he did not sound like a kidnapper. It was no different from his usual tone when heined that Lin Shanchu did not want to hang out with him. Have you brought any food? Lin Shanchu asked, not feeling like she was being held captive. Huo Chaosheng pressed the light switch. The living room lit up in an instant. The light was blinding, so Lin Shanchu raised her hand to block her eyes. Through the gaps between her fingers, she saw Huo Chaosheng carrying a sack from the ground and walking in. The door was automatically locked behind him. It looked quite high-tech. Lin Shanchu adjusted to the light and removed her hand from her face to take a closer look at the sack he was carrying. The sack was a little big. Judging from the shape of the thing inside, she could vaguely tell that it was a person. Who have you caught this time? Lin Shanchu asked in surprise. Theres food in the fridge. Huo Chaosheng did not answer her question. After saying that, he snorted coldly and looked at Lin Shanchu with disdain. The medicine I gave you has no side effects. It wont hurt your brain. Your brain is fine, but you dont know how to find something to eat when youre hungry. Does Third Brother know that youre so stupid? Huo Chaosheng! How could there be such a person?! After locking her up, he still wanted to mock her! Lin Shanchu grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it at Huo Chaosheng. If I hadnt cooperated with you and drunk that ss of wine, do you think you could lock me up here? As Huo Xunzhous younger brother, youre so useless. Dont you feel inferior? After a moment of silence, Huo Chaoshengs expression darkened as he looked at her. Lin Shanchu, do you really think I wont kill you? Come on, lets die together! Lin Shanchu opened her arms and provoked him, worsening the situation. Anyway, Number 1357 said that she was the female lead and would not die. Huo Chaosheng gritted his teeth in anger as he said, Youre crazy! After saying that, he carried the sack upstairs. Huo Chaosheng had imprisoned Yun Wu before, so Lin Shanchu was no longer in the mood to eat. Instead, she quickly chased after him. Who have you caught? Huo Chaosheng ignored her and walked quickly. However, he did not lock the door after he carried the person into the room. Lin Shanchu pushed the door open and entered the room. Huo Chaosheng had already pulled the woman out of the sack and ced her on the bed. It was an unfamiliar face. She had taken good care of herself and was very beautiful, looking like a woman in her thirties. However, there was a hint of familiarity in her eyes. Most of the beauties were simr. There were many beauties in the entertainment industry. When Lin Shanchu attended events, she would asionally admire the beauty of other female celebrities as long as it was not Yun wu. Lin Shanchu was still hungry, so she turned around to find something to eat. Wait a minute. Huo Chaosheng suddenly called out to her. Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at him with a questioning gaze. Huo Chaosheng had mixed facial expressions. Help me change her into clean clothes. Lin Shanchu noticed that Huo Chaosheng said, Help me. She calmly sized up the woman and replied, Alright.. Chapter 469 - 469: Huo Xunzhou Spoiled Her Chapter 469: Huo Xunzhou Spoiled Her Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The clothes are in the closet. Before Huo Chaosheng left, he took another deep look at the woman on the bed. Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Chaosheng was looking at the woman with aplicated gaze. She had known Huo Chaosheng for a long time, but she had never seen him look at any woman differently. When she first saw this woman, she thought that Huo Chaosheng was already taken by someone. However, the way Huo Chaosheng looked at this woman waspletely different from the way Huo Xunzhou looked at her. That was not the way someone looked at the woman he loved. If she was not the woman he loved, then who was she? Lin Shanchu went to the wardrobe to get some clothes. She opened the wardrobe and found that it was filled with mature womens suits. Although they were all in a retro style, the designs and styles were popr a few years ago. Obviously, Huo Chaosheng had prepared these clothes a few years ago. Lin Shanchu was getting more and more curious about the womans identity. After she chose the clothes, she went to the bed to help the woman on the bed to change clothes. After changing her clothes, Lin Shanchu carefully observed her face. Many well-maintained female celebrities who were in their forties or fifties in the entertainment industry looked no different from those in their twenties or thirties. Their faces in the camera had been retouched so that no one could their age. However, one could still tell their age from a close distance. This woman was the same. Previously, she had only looked at her from afar and felt that this woman was at most thirty years old. Now, the fine wrinkle lines on the womans face became clearer at close quarters. This womans real age should be forty or fifty years old. She was in her forties or fifties and had a close rtionship with Huo Chaosheng Lin Shanchus eyes suddenly widened as she understood something. Was she Huo Chaoshengs biological mother whom Huo Xunzhou had been looking for? Knock! Knock! There was an impatient knock on the door. The door was soundproof, and Huo Chaoshengs muffled voice was heard. Lin Shanchu, are you done changing her clothes? Come down and eat after youre done! Iming. Lin Shanchu responded to the man outside the door and turned to look at the woman who was still unconscious on the bed. Then, she got up to open the door. When Huo Chaosheng saw here out, he kept quiet and turned around to walk downstairs. He looked like he did not care about the woman in the room at all. However, Lin Shanchu clearly saw Huo Chaosheng inadvertently nce inside when she closed the door. This nce was nothing to ordinary people. However, it was already a sign of concern for Huo Chaosheng. Lin Shanchu was even more certain of her guess. That woman must be Huo Chaoshengs mother. Lin Shanchu followed Huo Chaosheng into the dining room. Several lunchboxes had been ced on the dining table. They were all instant food processed and packaged in the supermarket. They could be eaten as long after they were heated in the microwave. Lin Shanchu did not really like instant food. Are we going to eat these things every day from now on? she asked unhappily. Lin Shanchu, who do you think you are now? Or do you think youre here on vacation? Huo Chaosheng expressionlessly pushed a lunchbox toward her. Why didnt this woman feel like she had been kidnapped and imprisoned? To his surprise, she was even picky about the food he prepared. No matter I am, I have to eat well, Lin Shanchu said innocently. Huo Chaosheng was speechless for a moment. He couldnt care less about Lin Shanchu and lowered his head to eat his meal. The taste of the instant food was not bad. After filling her stomach, Lin Shanchu began to test Huo Chaosheng. What time is it? Huo Chaosheng expressionlessly looked up at her and replied, 1:00 a.m. It was already 1:00 a.m. No wonder she felt so hungry just now. Lin Shanchu rested her chin on her hand and asked him casually, You went out for the whole afternoon and only came back now. Were you busy catching this woman? What exactly do you want to ask? Huo Chaosheng put down the chopsticks in his hand and stared at her. Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Chaosheng had already guessed what she wanted to ask. The Huo familys genes were really good. Huo Xunzhou was smart, and Huo Chaosheng was not an easy mark either. She did not bother to beat around the bush and direcly asked, Did you see Huo Xunzhou? I havent seen him for two days. I miss him a little. Huo Chaosheng sneered. Dont worry, youll be able to see him soon. Yeah. Lin Shanchu nodded in agreement. Yeah, Huo Xunzhou should be able to find this ce soon. Helle and take me home. After a moment of silence, Huo Chaoshengs face darkened as he shouted, Go up and sleep after youve eaten your fill! He used to think that Lin Shanchu was an interesting woman, but now he found the way she talked was annoying. He wondered how Huo Xunzhou was able to stand her. Why are you so fierce? Lin Shanchu was not afraid of him at all. She pushed the empty lunchbox towards Huo Chaosheng as revenge and got up to go upstairs. Huo Chaoshengs irritable voice rang behind her. Believe it or not, I will really kill you if you keep doing this! Then you have to do it quickly. Otherwise, you wont have a chance if Huo Xunzhou rushes over. How childish! He threatened her with death at every turn. There was nomotion behind her all of a sudden. Lin Shanchu did not even need to turn around to imagine Huo Chaoshengs livid face. By the way Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks, turned around and smiled at him. I want to eat noodles for breakfast tomorrow. When she saw Huo Chaoshengs clenched fists, she smiled even more radiantly. She would piss him off! As soon as she turned around, her smile immediately disappeared. Huo Chaosheng had gone to great lengths to spike her drink, kidnap her and lock her up here without doing anything else to hurt her. Instead, he tolerated her as much as before. She was not sure what Huo Chaosheng was trying to do. However, she was certain that Huo Chaosheng did not lock her up to threaten Huo Xunzhou. She did not think that she held a more important ce than Huo Xunzhou in Huo Chaoshengs heart. He had not hurt her so far, and he probably would not do anything to hurt Huo Xunzhou anytime soon. It was toote today, so she should sleep first. Staying upte was harmful to the body, but her life was more important. Lin Shanchu did not wake up naturally. She was woken up by Huo Chaoshengs violent knocking on the door. Lin Shanchu, get up and eat your noodles! Hurry up! Huo Chaosheng knocked on the door impatiently. Lin Shanchu put on the coat and angrily opened the door before she yelled at Huo Chaosheng. What time is it now?! And youre here to knock on my door?! Leaning against the door, Huo Chaosheng raised his hand and seriously looked at the time on his wristwatch. 7:oo a.m. Dont you usually wake up quite early? But I slept after one oclockst night! Lin Shanchu grabbed her hair in rage. Tch! Huo Chaosheng snorted and shook his head. What a bad temper! Your Third Brother spoiled me. You have a problem with that? Even if there is, hold it in! Lin Shanchu mmed the door shut with a bang. Her temper was getting worse. Huo Xunzhou spoiled her. Lin Shanchu quickly washed up and changed her clothes before heading downstairs for breakfast. When she entered the dining room, she noticed that the woman whom Huo Chaosheng brought back yesterday was also sitting at the dining table.. Chapter 470 - 470: I Know You Are Lin Shanchu Chapter 470: I Know You Are Lin Shanchu Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The woman turned around when she heard themotion. When she saw Lin Shanchu, a joyful smile appeared in her eyes. Mu S! Yesterday, the woman was in aa the entire time when Lin Shanchu helped her change her clothes. Therefore, Lin Shanchu could only tell that her skin was well-maintained. Now that the woman was awake, she had a pair of clear eyes and her facial expression suddenly looked lively. She had to admit that Huo Zhuxiu really had a good taste. Whether it was her figure or her temperament, she could overshadow most of the socialites in Capital City nowadays. 50% of Huo Chaoshengs facial features resembled her and he hadpletely inherited her good genes. Lin Shanchu walked forward and sat down opposite Huo Chaosheng. There was a long dining table in the dining room. She sat at the head of the table while Huo Chaosheng sat on the other side. Have you seen the drama I acted in? Lin Shanchus rare gentle tone made Huo Chaosheng look at her in surprise. When he knocked on the door and called her just now, she looked fierce. Now, she pretended to be gentle, as if she was a different person. The woman smiled at her and replied, Yes. I saw you in Top Feast. I think youre beautiful and have a unique personality. Lin Shanchu would be delighted whenever someone praised her. Thank you, she said with a gentle smile. After that, the woman said regretfully, Its a pity that you dont act in many dramas. I acted in a new dramast year. Its expected to air this summer. Remember to watch it when the timees. Really? Ill definitely watch it when the timees. She looked joyful, like a child with an expectant expression. Lin Shanchu nced at Huo Chaosheng sitting opposite her. He lowered his head and quietly ate noodles. He did not make a sound to interrupt their conversation, and no one could see his expression clearly. Lin Shanchu could not figure out what Huo Chaosheng was thinking at this moment. She calmly averted her gaze. Do you know my name? Huo Chaoshengs mother was someone Huo Xunzhou had been looking for, so she must be hiding some secrets. Huo Chaoshengs mother looked a little innocent, so it would not be difficult to worm information out of her. I know you are Lin Shanchu. You can call me Shanshan. How should I address you? Huo Chaosheng, who had been eating noodles with his head lowered, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Shanchu. His gaze was razor-sharp. The atmosphere in the dining room also changed subtly. The woman sitting at the head of the table seemed to have not noticed anything and introduced herself seriously. My name is Huo Xizhen. What a coincidence! My boyfriends surname is Huo too. As Lin Shanchu spoke, she lowered her head and opened the lunchbox in front of her. When she saw the spaghetti bolognese in the box, she frowned slightly. What she wanted to eat was steaming hot soup noodles with shredded meat, eggs, and a handful of vegetables. It was nutritious and healthy. Huo Chaosheng seemed to have expected that she would not be satisfied and shot her a warning look. Normally, Huo Chaosheng would have started arguing with her. At this moment, he swallowed his anger and only gave her a warning nce. Was he afraid of scaring his innocent mother? It turned out that someone like Huo Chaosheng also had weaknesses. Lin Shanchu was emotionally moved, but she did not say anything. Instead, she picked up the fork and started eating the noodles. However, the stic fork that came with it was not very useful. She ate two mouthfuls of noodles and looked at Huo Chaosheng with a sullen face. The two of them exchanged a silent nce before Huo Chaosheng reluctantly got up to help her get the chopsticks. Next to her, Huo Xizhen asked abruptly, Arent you Chaoshengs girlfriend? Lin Shanchu felt that not only did Huo Xizhen look a little innocent, but her reaction was also a little slow. Just as she thought that this topic could be moved on, Huo Xizhen finally reacted. My boyfriend is Huo Chaoshengs brother, Huo Xunzhou. After exining seriously, Lin Shanchu added, My boyfriend is very handsome. He is much more handsome than Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng happened to walk over with chopsticks in hand. He rolled his eyes at Lin Shanchu from where Huo Xizhen could not see him. Thank you. Lin Shanchu pretended not to see his nce and took the chopsticks with a smile. Brother Huo Xizhen muttered. Huo Chaosheng turned to Huo Xizhen and said coldly, Hurry up and eat breakfast. Oh. Huo Xizhen started eating breakfast obediently. Lin Shanchu noticed that when Huo Xizhen was rolling the noodles, her movements were extremely serious. Her eyes were also fixed on the fork, as if she was afraid that the noodles would not be rolled. She really did not look like an adult with normal intelligence. Cough! Huo Chaoshengs coughing caught Lin Shanchus attention. Lin Shanchu looked away from Huo Xizhen and slowly began to eat noodles. She could finish the lunchboxst night because she was starved. There was no special box for this morning, so she could not finish eating this box. What are we going to have for lunch? Lin Shanchu weakly asked Huo Chaosheng as she put down the chopsticks. Huo Chaoshengs lips twitched slightly. Then, he forcefully softened his tone, as if remembering that Huo Xizhen was still at the scene. If you dont want to eat lunchbox, make it yourself. You even prepared the ingredients? Huo Chaosheng was the one on vacation, wasnt he? Not only had he prepared so many lunchboxes, he even prepared the ingredients. Lin Shanchu decided to check what was inside the fridge. She saw arge refrigerator with four doors in the kitchen. She opened the fridge and saw all kinds of vegetables and fruits stuffed inside. In the freezer below, there were neatly arranged packed meals and meat. Lin Shanchu, who had been calm and collected since they arrived, was now a little overwhelmed. How long was Huo Chaosheng nning to lock her up? She was not sure when Huo Xunzhou would be able to find her in the middle of nowhere. She still had to invest in a new drama. She could not stay here for too long. What if someone else snatched her script? Huo Chaosheng put away the cutlery and slowly walked behind Lin Shanchu. Is there anything you want to eat among these ingredients? He tilted his head to look at Lin Shanchus face with a hint of ridicule in his tone. Lin Shanchu mmed the fridge door shut and was so angry that she did not want to talk to Huo Chaosheng. Shanshan,e over and bask in the sun. Huo Xizhen sat by the window and waved at Lin Shanchu. There was a small sofa by the window. When Lin Shanchu went over, Huo Xizhen moved to the side to make room for her. Its so warm. Huo Xizhen turned to look out of the window. She squinted her eyes and raised her head slightly. The curve of her profile looked pretty under the sunlight. Lin Shanchu nced in the direction of the kitchen. After confirming that Huo Chaosheng had note over, she opened her mouth to worm information out of Huo Xizhen. Ive known Huo Chaosheng for a long time, but Ive never heard him mention you. Where have you been living all these years? Huo Xizhen turned to look at her with gentle and bright eyes. I stayed at home. My house is very beautiful. Ill invite you to my house after the vacation. Where is your house? Lin Shanchu asked in a low voice.. Chapter 471 - 471: Break Up with Third Brother and Marry Me Chapter 471: Break Up with Third Brother and Marry Me Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Drink some water. Huo Chaosheng suddenly walked over with two sses of water. Huo Xizhen, who was about to answer Lin Shanchus question, was immediately distracted. Thank you, Chaosheng. After Huo Chaosheng handed one of the sses to Huo Xizhen, he ced the other ss in front of Lin Shanchu with a thud. Is your boyfriend busy with work? Huo Xizhen asked Lin Shanchu as she held the ss of water. Why didnt hee on vacation with us? It turned out that Huo Chaosheng and Huo Xizhen were really here for a vacation! Third Brother is quite busy. He doesnt have time, Huo Chaosheng said calmly. Huo Xizhen nodded in realization. This mother-son pair was really something. One dared to say it, and the other dared to believe it. Huo Xizhen really liked to bask in the sun. Huo Chaosheng had been standing guard at the side the entire time, so Lin Shanchu had no chance to worm information out of her. Lin Shanchu could tell that Huo Chaosheng actually cared about Huo Xizhen. It was the kind of undisguised care. To a certain extent, she knew Huo Chaosheng well enough, so she did not dare to do anything to Huo Xizhen in front of Huo Chaosheng. She was just bad-tempered, not brainless. She Imew that if shey a hand on Huo Xizhen, Huo Chaosheng might reallye after her. Lin Shanchu had made lunch herself. She had had enough of the lunchboxes. Another reason was boredom. She had nothing to do at all because she could neither y on her phone nor watch TV. When she was cooking, Huo Xizhen kept following her around and praising her like a curious child. Shanshan, youre amazing. Youre so good at cooking! Youre beautiful, youre good at acting, and you can cook. Your boyfriend is so blessed. Lin Shanchu smiled at the mention of Huo Xunzhou. Compared to my boyfriend, I think Im more blessed. In fact, she had not done anything for Huo Xunzhou. She could even count the number of times she had cooked for Huo Xunzhou on her hand. Huo Xizhen turned to look at Huo Chaosheng, who was guarding the door. It would be great if Chaosheng could find a girlfriend as good as you. Im not interested in women, Huo Chaosheng said coldly. Huo Xizhen pursed her lips. Dont be like this. You have to be gentler. Only then will girls like you. Even if hes not gentle, many girls still like him. Huo Chaosheng was a top celebrity with so many female fans that could line up overseas. Huo Chaosheng could not stand Lin Shanchus obedient pretense, so he snorted. Who are those many girls you are talking about? And I dont see you liking me! Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth in silence. Then, her face darkened as she said to Huo Xizhen, Auntie Your son doesnt need a girlfriend at all. Unrelieved, Lin Shanchu added, He doesnt even think he needs friends either. Lin Shanchu! Huo Chaosheng called out to her in a deep voice. Chaosheng, talk to your sister-inw properly. Huo Xizhen stopped Huo Chaosheng in disagreement. Huo Chaosheng looked indignant, but he did not say anything else. Huo Xizhen looked really weak and felt tired after a while. Then, Huo Chaosheng took her back to her room to rest. Lin Shanchu was waiting for him in the foyer. When do you n to let me go? Lin Shanchu asked as soon as Huo Chaosheng came down. Why do you want to leave? Didnt you and my mom have a good time chatting? Huo Chaosheng sat down opposite her. What do you mean? Lin Shanchu frowned. Supporting his chin, Huo Chaosheng looked at her and suggested seriously, Why dont you consider breaking up with Third Brother and marrying me? Lin Shanchu was bewildered. She thought that Huo Chaosheng was indeed crazy. Lin Shanchu was shocked by Huo Chaoshengs serious expression. As Huo Chaosheng had said, he was not interested in women. Otherwise, he would not have no dating history. Therefore, she would not think that Huo Chaosheng had suggested her to marry him because he liked her. However, she knew that Huo Chaosheng must have his own reasons. Lin Shanchu could tell that the reason was certainly ridiculous without the need of asking him. Therefore, she did not bother to ask him. Dream on. Ill only marry Huo Xunzhou in this life. What if he dies? Ill be a widow for him for the rest of my life. Huo Chaosheng paused. He carefully observed Lin Shanchus expression and found that there was no trace of falsehood on her face. Then, he frowned slightly. Do you like him that much? Of course. Lin Shanchus tone was even more determined than before. Huo Chaosheng chuckled. The feelings between two people in love are indeed touching. Lin Shanchus eyes shed when she heard what he said. Two people in love? Didnt Huo Chaosheng always think that Huo Xunzhou got together with her because of him? So you put on a pretense before, Lin Shanchu said firmly. Why else do you think I brought you here? Huo Chaoshengughed. My Third Brother really likes you. Lin Shanchu realized that she had underestimated Huo Chaosheng. He was far more cunning than she had imagined. You want to use me to threaten Huo Xunzhou? Lin Shanchu asked him calmly. Not entirely. Its true that I broughgt you here because of Third Brother. As Huo Chaosheng spoke slowly, a smile that Lin Shanchu could not understand appearing on his face. Dont keep me in suspense! Lin Shanchu shouted coldly. Huo Chaosheng pretended to yawn. Alright, Im tired too. Im going back to my room to get some rest. As he spoke, he got up and walked upstairs. Huo Chaosheng, stop right there! I want to eat curry beef tonight! Make more. This is also my moms favorite dish. To her surprise, he ordered her to cook dinner! Lin Shanchu sat down on the sofa, feeling a little discouraged. She had been dealing with Huo Chaosheng for a long time and he had said a lot of nonsense to her, but he did not answer the questions she wanted to know. She wanted to know why Huo Chaosheng had brought her here and if he really wanted to use her to threaten Huo Xunzhou. In the end, Huo Chaosheng either rambled on or avoided the question. It seemed that this trick of trying to worm information out of him was useless. It would be easier for her to wait for an opportunity and escape. Huo Chaosheng woke up in the evening. The moment he went downstairs, he saw Lin Shanchu peeling corn kernels while sitting on the carpet in front of the coffee table. She looked serious as she slowly peeled one corn kernel at a time. The corn kernels were neatlyid out on the coffee table in the shape of small animals. Huo Chaosheng walked up to her and reminded her. Its time to make dinner. Lin Shanchu nced at him indifferently and replied, No. Huo Chaosheng was bereft of speech for a moment. Just when Lin Shanchu thought that he was going to threaten her again, he asked patiently, What do I have to do for you to make dinner? Lin Shanchu did not expect Huo Chaosheng topromise so easily, so she said rudely, Im going to call Huo Xunzhou and tell him toe and save me. Huo Chaosheng looked at her silently as if she was an idiot.. Chapter 472 - 472: The Person You Are Waiting For Will Arrive Today Chapter 472 - 472: The Person You Are Waiting For Will Arrive Today Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After a while, Huo Chaosheng had a mixed facial expression as he said, Make a request that I grant. Lin Shanchu simply lowered the requirement of her request and replied, I want to go out for a walk. Alright, Huo Chaosheng agreed readily. The next second, Huo Chaosheng realized that he seemed to have fallen into Lin Shanchus trap. You did it on purpose, didnt you? he asked with a sullen face. At first, Lin Shanchu had deliberately made a ridiculous request that he would never grant. After giving him a presupposition, he would easily agree to her real request. This was the so-called foot-in-the-door effect. Lin Shanchu smiled proudly and said, Im hungry. Ill go make dinner. She stood up, pped her hands and straightened her clothes before striding into the kitchen. Then, her voice sounded again. Clean up the corn grains on the coffee table first. Then,e over and wash the vegetables. When Huo Chaosheng raised his head and looked at Lin Shanchu, she had already disappeared from the dining room. This woman was really not afraid of him at all. Huo Xunzhous woman was as difficult to deal with as him. When Huo Chaosheng finished cleaning up the corn grains and went to the kitchen, Lin Shanchu had already taken out all the ingredients for dinner from the fridge. Huo Chaosheng wanted to throw the corn grains into the trash can, but Lin Shanchu stopped him. Why are you throwing them away? You cant waste food. Put them over there, and Ill make corn kernels with egg yolkter. Im not going eat them. Huo Chaosheng frowned and looked disgusted. He did not want to eat the corn kernels that Lin Shanchu had yed with. Lin Shanchu directly poured the corn kernels into the basin and spat out two words expressionlessly, Wash them! During dinner, Huo Xizhen scooped a spoonful of corn kernels with egg yolk for Huo Chaosheng. Chaosheng, try this. Its delicious. Huo Chaosheng pursed his lips and stared at the corn kernels on his te as if he was facing a great enemy. Huo Xizhen urged him, Eat them. Lin Shanchu gloated as she looked at Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng picked up a piece of corn kernel and stuffed it into his mouth with a cold expression under Huo Xizhens expectant gaze. The next moment, his eyes lit up. After that, Huo Chaosheng secretly scooped up a spoonful of corn kernels while Lin Shanchu was not paying attention. When he put down the spoon, he looked up and met Lin Shanchus gaze. Then, he froze in an instant. Lin Shanchu said softly, A persons life is so long. There will always be times when they p themselves in the face. Huo Chaosheng was speechless. After dinner, Lin Shanchu stopped Huo Chaosheng in the kitchen. When are you going to open the door and let me go out for a walk? You can do it whenever you want. Huo Chaoshengs generosity made Lin Shanchu suspicious. Would he be so kind? I want to go out for a walk now, Lin Shanchu said tentatively. Lets go. Huo Chaosheng turned around and went to the foyer. After that, he pressed the password and unlocked the door. Lin Shanchu looked at the wide open door. She then turned to look at Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng made a gesture by tilting his head. Go ahead. Lin Shanchu slowly walked toward the door. The sky had already darkened. There was no light at all but only a dark forest as far as the eye could see. Lin Shanchus heart sank as she retreated with a calm expression. Its too dark. I cant see anything clearly. Ill go out tomorrow. Whatever. Huo Chaosheng nced at Lin Shanchu with a faint smile and closed the door behind him. After returning to her room at night, Lin Shanchu searched every corner of the room again, but still she failed to find anything. She leaned against the window to get some fresh air and looked at the dark forest in a daze. What on earth was this ce? It would be a day and two nights after tonight, but Huo Xunzhou still had not found her. Or could it be Had Huo Chaosheng already threatened Huo Xunzhou to do something? Lin Shanchu closed the window in frustration. She would try to escape tomorrow. The next morning, Huo Chaosheng knocked on Lin Shanchus door just like the day before. Lin Shanchu pulled a tissue and plugged her ears. After slowly washing up and changing her clothes, she walked over to open the door. Huo Chaosheng had been knocking on the door for a long time, but he was no longer angry. Yon should make breakfast. Lin Shanchu walked downstairs without a word. Huo Xizhen was sitting in the living room. When she heard the footsteps, she turned around and smiled at Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, you are awake? Chaosheng said you wanted to cook shredded pork noodles for us this morning. She wanted to cook shredded pork noodles for them? Lin Shanchu turned around and looked expressionlessly at Huo Chaosheng. Huo Chaosheng cleared his throat and smiled at Huo Xizhen. Then, he squeezed out a sentence audible only to Lin Shanchu. Ill open the door and let you out after breakfast. Lin Shanchus expression remained unchanged after she heard his words. She turned around and walked up to Huo Xizhen before she asked gently, Auntie, do you want some fried eggs? Ill fry one for youter, okay? Okay, thank you. Huo Xizhen was as happy as a child. Huo Chaosheng came over and said, I want it too. Lin Shanchu went to the kitchen without a word. After breakfast, Huo Chaosheng opened the door and let Lin Shanchu out as promised. She could not clearly see the view outsidest night, but now, she saw barren mountains and dense forests without a path to walk on. Huo Chaosheng supported Huo Xizhen as they followed Lin Shanchu, but she quickly shook them off. Huo Xizhen looked around and asked, Wheres Shanshan? Dont worry, Huo Chaoshengforted her calmly. Shell be back soon. Huo Xizhen nodded. In less than an hour, Lin Shanchu returned. She was sweating profusely and looked a little disheveled. Did you encounter a wild wolf? Huo Chaosheng asked with a smile after calmly sizing her up for a while. Lin Shanchu walked over with a sullen face and reached out to grab his shirt. Huo Chaosheng, I have limited patience. Dont force me. How am I forcing you? Huo Chaosheng pretended to be confused as he looked at her. You wanted to go out yourself. I didnt force you, but fortunately youre smart enough toe back. Wild wolves arent the only ones in this primitive forest. No wonder Huo Chaosheng was so generous to let her out. It turned out that he had expected her toe back. Lin Shanchu leaned closer to him with a fake smile on her face. Huo Chaosheng, I never knew I was so kind in your eyes. Huo Chaosheng squinted at Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu curled her lip slightly and her voice was as cold as ice. Do you really think that I wonty a hand on your weak and helpless mother? Huo Chaosheng had exposed Huo Xizhen so brazenly in front of her because he thought that she would noty a hand on the innocent Huo Xizhen. Lin Shanchu! Huo Chaoshengs expression changed drastically as he shouted. Youre not that kind of person. Yes, I am. Lin Shanchuughed mockingly. You said I have humanity, but humanity is something that can be chosen. I can choose not to have humanity. The womans cat-like eyes were so clear that for a moment, Huo Chaosheng could not tell whether she was telling the truth or not. After a while, Huo Chaoshengpromised. The person you are waiting for will arrive today.. Chapter 473 - 473: Hello, I Am Huo Xunzhou Chapter 473 - 473: Hello, I Am Huo Xunzhou Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion The person I am waiting for? Who? Lin Shanchu stared intently at Huo Chaosheng, trying to get a precise answer. Huo Chaosheng took a deep breath and asked, Who else are you waiting for besides Third Brother? Lin Shanchu only let go of Huo Chaosheng after getting a satisfactory answer. She shook her sore hand from using too much strength just now and looked innocent as she scolded him, It would have been better if you had done this earlier. Huo Chaosheng suppressed his rage and straightened his clothes expressionlessly. When is Huo Xunzhouing? Lin Shanchu asked as she leanedzily on the sofa. Morning, afternoon, or evening? Huo Chaosheng replied, I dont know. You dont know? Lin Shanchu nonchntly repeated what he just said. Huo Chaosheng gritted his teeth and said, Maybe he will be here soon. Lin Shanchu looked at the sky outside. Although she did not know what time it was, she could feel that it was almost lunchtime. Im going to make lunch. Dont worry, Ill make your mothers favorite curry beef. Lin Shanchu gave Huo Chaosheng a meaningful smile before entering the kitchen. At noon, Lin Shanchu made a tableful of dishes. Other than the curry beef that Huo Chaosheng and Huo Xizhen loved, the rest of the dishes were all Huo Xunzhous favorite food. Huo Xizhen sat at the dining table with her fists raised by her sides. She then lowered her head and took a deep sniff. There are so many dishes. They smell nice. She looked up at Lin Shanchu, who was sitting opposite her, and praised her like before. Shanshan, you are really amazing. Thank you. Lin Shanchus lips curled into a faint smile. Auntie, my boyfriend will be here soon. Lets wait for him toe over for lunch, okay? Huo Chaosheng stretched out the chopsticks and was about to pick up some food for Huo Xizhen, but he was startled when he heard those words. Alright! Huo Xizhen asked her innocently, Is he done with work? Work is endless, but to him, work is not as important as me. Huo Xunzhou had said that nothing was more important than her. Your boyfriend really likes you, Huo Xizhen said enviously. Your Right after Lin Shanchu opened her mouth, she suddenly paused. Then, she changed her tune. Huo Chaosheng also said the same thing. Huo Xizhen turned to look at Huo Chaosheng and asked, Your Third Brother must be a very nice person, right? Yeah, Huo Chaosheng replied softly. Huo Xizhen was really looking forward to meeting him and kept looking at the door. How long will it take for him to get here? she asked from time to time. Lin Shanchu looked up and asked Huo Chaosheng expressionlessly, How much longer until he gets here? Huo Chaosheng became frustrated after she asked him a number of times. How am I supposed to know?! Just as Huo Xizhen was looking at the door again, Lin Shanchu heard a thuding from outside. It was the sound of the door being opened. Lin Shanchu resisted the urge to get up and leave, staring intently at Huo Chaosheng. She was brought here by Huo Chaosheng because she drank the wine that he had given her. She was the female lead with the plot armor. No matter what drug he gave her, she would not die. However, it might not be the same case for Huo Xunzhou. All the dishes on the table were made by her, and she could not take her eyes off them. Is there not even a bit of trust between us? Huo Chaosheng asked, noticing Lin Shanchus wariness. There was, or else I wouldnt be sitting here right now. And now, there was no trust between them. Huo Chaosheng chuckled enigmatically upon hearing her words. Lin Shanchu could vaguely hear footstepsing from outside. The footsteps gradually became clearer. Huo Xizhen, who sitting opposite her, suddenly looked at the door and muttered, Ah Fu Lin Shanchu abruptly turned around and saw the travel-worn Huo Xunzhou. As his deep gaze was firmly locked on Lin Shanchu, he quickened his pace and walked towards her without a word. Huo Chaosheng smiled calmly and said, Third Brother, you are here. Huo Xunzhou raised his head and looked coldly at Huo Chaosheng before sitting down beside Lin Shanchu. Have you eaten lunch yet? Lin Shanchu smiled and pulled Huo Xunzhous hand. I made a lot of your favorite dishes. She looked very well, and she was smiling as if she was at home. Huo Xunzhou held her hand tightly and scrutinized her with a frown. He looked very worried about her. His eyes were bloodshot. He probably had not slept well in the past two days. Lin Shanchu blinked guiltily and said, Lets eat lunch first Although she was under Number 1357s control at that time and did not tell Huo Xunzhou that she was going to have dinner with Huo Chaosheng, she voluntarily drank that ss of wine. She had to be honest with Huo Xunzhou about this matter. He would definitely be furious when the time came. This matter was a little serious. He would probably be angry for a long time, and she would need to spend some effort to coax him. Huo Xunzhou finally looked better. Lin Shanchu smiled at him and stuffed the chopsticks into his hands. When she turned around, she realized that Huo Xizhen had been staring at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xizhens gaze gradually became puzzled. Why is Ah Fu a man? Huo Xunzhou met Huo Xizhens gaze and introduced himself calmly. Hello, I am Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou Huo Xizhen said to herself, If you are not Ah Fu, then who is Ah Hes my Third Brother, Huo Xunzhou, Huo Chaosheng said as she held Huo Xizhens hand on the table. Somewhat sluggish, Huo Xizhen asked again, Your Third Brother? Yes. Huo Chaosheng exined in a gentle tone, Hes Lin Shanchus boyfriend. I know, Shanshans boyfriend, your Third Brother. His name is Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xizhen read out the message she had just received seriously like a child. Lets eat lunch. Huo Chaosheng stuffed the chopsticks into Huo Xizhens hands. Huo Xizhens attention was still on Huo Xunzhou. He looks like Ah Fu who is Ah Fu? Huo Xunzhous deep voice was emotionless. However, Lin Shanchu, who had spent time with him day and night, could clearly sense the changes in his emotions. She could vaguely hear the depression in his tone. I dont know. Huo Xizhen shook her head and asked nkly, Who is Ah Fu? Huo Chaoshengs expression darkened as he said, Third Brother, lets eat lunch. Huo Xunzhou took a deep nce at Huo Xizhen before lowering his head to eat lunch. Lin Shanchu eagerly picked up some food for Huo Xunzhou. Shanshan likes her boyfriend too, Huo Xizhen said with a smile as she recalled Lin Shanchus words just now. Of course. Lin Shanchu smiled and nodded. Huo Xunzhou raised his eyes and gave Lin Shanchu a meaningful look. If Lin Shanchu could capture Huo Xunzhous emotional changes, so could Huo Xunzhou. Although her guilty conscience was not written on her face, it was evident in her actions when she diligently picked up food for him. Judging from Lin Shanchus reaction, he could already guess the whole story. Huo Xunzhou heaved a long, imperceptible sigh of relief. Shanshan, you should eat more too, he said slowly as he picked up some food for Lin Shanchu.. Chapter 474 - 474 Aunt Chapter 474 - 474 Aunt She sensed a trace of danger in Huo Xunzhous tone. Lin Shanchu had made a tableful of sumptuous dishes, and Huo Xizhen had a childish personality, so it was inevitable for her to eat more. Im full, Huo Xizhenined to Huo Chaosheng as she felt a little ufortable. Huo Chaosheng patiently helped Huo Xizhen out as he said, Lets go out for a walk. Only Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were left in the dining room. Lin Shanchu quickly put down the chopsticks and seized the opportunity to ask Huo Xunzhou, You came alone? How did you get here? I came alone. I flew a helicopter here, Huo Xunzhou methodically answered her question in detail. You flew what? Lin Shanchu thought that she had misheard him. A helicopter, Huo Xunzhou repeated after pausing for two seconds. Lin Shanchu blinked as she asked, You know how to fly a helicopter? I didnt know I could fly a helicopter before today. Huo Xunzhou had aplicated expression on his face. What do you mean? Lin Shanchu was a little confused. Number 1357, Huo Xunzhou reminded her. He had turned the entire city upside down without any rest or sleep, but he still could not find Huo Chaosheng and Lin Shanchu. He gradually realized that he might have been heading in the wrong direction. Therefore, he investigated Huo Chaoshengs history again and found out that he had bought a mountain a few years ago. There was a forest park not far from Capital City, and the habitat of wild animals was located in the deeper parts of the forest without further development. Huo Zhuxiu had always granted Huo Chaoshengs every request. Since Huo Chaosheng wanted to buy a mountain, Huo Zhuxiu would naturally try his best to get it for him. As long as a person lived in this world, it was impossible for them to leave no traces. If they did not find it, it was only because they hid it well. After checking the map, Huo Xunzhou made a n and nned the route. In the end, he inexplicably flew a helicopter and came alone. Realization dawned on Lin Shanchu as she asked, Did Number 1357 control you as well? She had thought it was strange just now as she had never heard of Huo Xunzhou flying a helicopter before. As well? Huo Xunzhou caught the key word in her words. Lin Shanchu took the opportunity to push all the me to Number 1357. Yes, I was brought here by Huo Chaosheng. Its all thanks to Number 1357. After you went missing, Number 1357 also went missing. Huo Xunzhous tone darkened. Lin Shanchu snorted. He must have done something wrong, so he went hiding because of fear. She recalled what Huo Xizhen had just said and asked, Who is Ah Fu? My mothers full name is Yun Fule, and her nickname is Ah Fu. Huo Xunzhous tone sounded deeper than before. Huo Xizhen knew Huo Xunzhous mother. Lin Shanchus lips squirmed, but she did not continue asking further questions. Huo Xunzhou suddenly reached out and held Lin Shanchus face, carefully examining it inch by inch. Lin Shanchu obediently let him hold her face andined to him. Huo Chaosheng hasnt done anything to hurt me these past two days, other than giving me instant food and lunchboxes, locking me up, and waking me up early in the morning to cook meals. I almost forgot. He drugged me the afternoon before yesterday and brought me here after I passed out. There are wild wolves in the mountains out there. He deliberately let me out to scare me She clearly exining all the grievances she had suffered like a child. Huo Xunzhou smiled and pulled her into his arms. I understand. Lin Shanchus anxiety waspletely soothed. After thinking carefully for a moment, she finally remembered something. Huo Chaosheng even threatened to kill me. avatar NEXT Chapter 475 - 475: Revealing A Clue May Lead to Death Chapter 475 - 475: Revealing A Clue May Lead to Death Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Xizhens expression changed slightly. What did you call me? Aunt, Huo Xunzhou repeated. Confused, Huo Xizhen turned to look at Huo Chaosheng and asked, Chaosheng, why did your Third Brother call me Aunt? Huo Chaosheng strode up to Huo Xizhen and took her into his arms before sitting down on the sofa with a stern expression. At this moment, Huo Chaosheng realized that Lin Shanchu had a calm look on her face. Over the past few days, Huo Chaosheng had frankly admitted that Huo Xizhen was his mother, but now Huo Xunzhou called her Aunt. Logically speaking, Lin Shanchu should be surprised. Huo Chaosheng questioned her, Lin Shanchu, you already know it a long time ago? Lin Shanchu looked up at him and spoke slowly. Yes. When I saw her for the first time, I noticed that she looked somewhat simr to Huo Zhu. Later, I found out that her surname was Huo and her intelligence was different from ordinary people. I vaguely guessed that she might be the aunt Huo Xunzhou has been looking for. Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xizhen with pity in her eyes. Youve been really calm these past few days, Huo Chaosheng sneered. I cant believe I didnt see any clues at all. Lin Shanchu looked calm as she replied, Revealing a clue may lead to death. Huo Chaosheng was Huo Zhuxius biological son. Huo Xizhen was Huo Chaoshengs biological mother. Huo Xizhen was Huo Zhuxius biological sister. An outsider like her should not have known this secret in such a wealthy family. If she had shown that she had figured it out at that time, Huo Chaosheng might have taken her life. Huo Xizhen grabbed Huo Chaoshengs hand in panic and asked, Chaosheng, what are you guys talking about? Why dont I understand anything? Mom, its time to end everything, Huo Chaosheng said as he showed a rare look of pain in his eyes. To end what? Huo Xizhen was confused. You will know soon enough. Huo Chaosheng helped Huo Xizhen up and walked out. Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. Instead, he held her hand and walked out. They walked in the opposite direction from where Lin Shanchu had fled the other day and soon saw the helipad and the helicopter. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and quietly got into the helicopter. She fastened the seatbelt and whispered to Huo Xunzhou, Watch out. We havent had our wedding yet. It was not that she did not trust Huo Xunzhou. The main reason was that Huo Xunzhous helicopter flying skill had appeared out of nowhere, making her feel insecure. After a moment of pause, Huo Xunzhou said, Well hold the wedding immediately after this matter is settled. The helicopter slowly ascended. Soon, they passed through the dense forest and flew to a wide area. As the helicopter slowly descended, Lin Shanchu saw Li Mo. Big Brother! Li MO ran over with his men, followed by the police. Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and asked, You called the police? Huo Xunzhou kept quiet and just looked at her with a serious expression. As soon as the helicopter stopped, the police surrounded it. A police officer showed his work permit and arrest warrant. Huo Chaosheng, you are suspected of murdering Sang Min! We are now officially arresting you! He murdered Sang Min? When Huo Chaosheng was taken away by the police, he gave Lin Shanchu a deep look. Lin Shanchu, thank you. The way he thanked her finally looked like a normal person. However, what was he thanking her for? Chaosheng! Why are you capturing Chaosheng?! Huo Xizhen helplessly chased after him, but Huo Xunzhou caught her. Huo Xizhen immediately pleaded him. Xunzhou, please help Chaosheng. Huo Xunzhous expression was cold as he replied, I cant help him. He has killed someone. I was the one who called the police and provided evidence to them. He killed Sang Min? Lin Shanchu had never heard Huo Xunzhou mention this incident before. Huo Xunzhou looked down at her and said gently, Yes. When did you find out? she asked in a low voice. Huo Xunzhou had just said that he had provided evidence to the police. Based on Lin Shanchus understanding of him, he must have been busy looking for her in the past two days and had no time or reason to investigate Sang Mins death all of a sudden. In other words, Huo Xunzhou had Imown about this incident a long time ago and had even gathered evidence. When Sang Min died. Huo Xunzhous tone was calm. You Lin Shanchu paused. Huo Xunzhou was not the kind of person who could not differentiate right from wrong. He must have had his reasons covering for Huo Chaosheng back then. This time, he had called the police and given the evidence to them probably because Huo Chaosheng hadid a hand on her Lin Shanchu held his hand tightly without saying a word. Before Huo Chaosheng got into the police car, he turned his head and called out, Third Brother! He and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other for a moment before he bent down and got into the police car. Li MO walked over. Sister-inw, are you alright? Im fine. Lin Shanchu noticed the dark circles under Li Mos eyes. Well done. Big Brother, lets go. Li MO smiled and looked at Huo Xunzhou. On the way back, Li MO kept sizing Huo Xizhen up curiously. Huo Chaosheng was not around, so Huo Xizhen felt a little uneasy and snuggled up to Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou sized up Huo Xizhen expressionlessly all the way. His aura was intimidating, so Huo Xizhen was a little afraid of him. When they reached home, Lin Shanchu took Huo Xizhen back to her room to get some rest. When she came out after settling Huo Xizhen down, Huo Xunzhou was waiting at the door. Leaning against the wall, he lowered his eyes and his expression was so calm that it worried Lin Shanchu. As soon as she stepped forward, Huo Xunzhou pulled her into his arms. Lin Shanchu gently patted his back tofort him. The two of them quietly hugged each other for a while before Lin Shanchu slowly exined Huo Xizhens situation to him. Was your aunts intelligence normal before? Ive been with her for the past few days and found that her intelligence is not like a normal adult. My aunt graduated from a famous school and is schoolmates with my mother. Then how did she be like this? Huo Zhuxius best friend is a famous psychiatrist. Lin Shanchu raised her head abruptly and asked, You mean he hired a psychiatrist to hypnotize your aunt and turn her into this state? Huo Xunzhou nodded silently. Huo Zhuxius level of scum was almost on par with Lu Shiyuans. Thinking of Lu Shiyuan, Lin Shanchu thought of Number 1357 whom she had lost contact with. After she finished the business with Huo Xizhen, she would certainly settle the score with Number 1357. Do you want to rest for a while? Lin Shanchu asked softly as she reached out to touch Huo Xunzhous tired face. Huo Xunzhou shook his head lightly and replied, Li MO will be back soon. Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment and figured out what Huo Xunzhou had asked Li MO to go out and do. You asked him to find a psychiatrist, didnt you? I did. The two of them returned to the living room and waited for Li MOs return. Huo Xunzhou leaned against Lin Shanchu and closed his eyes to rest. After a brief while, there was amotion outside, followed closely by Li Mos voice. Big Brother, I brought the psychiatrist back for you! Chapter 476 - 476: Was It You or Huo Zhuxiu? Chapter 476 - 476: Was It You or Huo Zhuxiu? Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion As soon as Li MO finished speaking, a tied up man was thrown in from outside. Huo Xunzhou slowly opened his eyes and sat up straight. What you guys are doing is illegal! The psychiatrist who had been thrown to the ground kept shouting non-stop. However, he fell silent the moment he saw Huo Xunzhou. Ill go up and check if your aunt is awake. Lin Shanchu turned around and went upstairs after finished speaking. Huo Xizhen was very timid now. She had been frightened by Huo Xunzhou on the way here, so she naturally could not rest well. By the time Lin Shanchu entered the room, she was already awake. She sat on the bed and helplessly hugged her legs. Shanshan! Her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu sat down beside the bed and asked, Do you know that youre sick? Huo Xizhen shook her head nkly and replied, I dont feel ufortable. Lin Shanchu looked down at her and size her up as she tried to persuade her. But you cant remember what happened in the past and even forgot about Ah Ah Fu is your friend. You shouldnt forget her. Huo Xizhen muttered Ah Fu as tears rolled down her cheeks on their own. Even if Huo Xizhen became like this, she would still cry over Huo Xunzhous mothers name. This meant that Huo Xizhen definitely knew something about the truth behind Huo Xunzhous mothers death. Lin Shanchu leaned forward slightly and looked into Huo Xizhens eyes. Weve found a doctor for you. Youll remember Ah Fu after you see the doctor. Huo Xizhen and Lin Shanchu looked at each other for a while before she nodded slowly. 1 want to remember Ah Fu. Lin Shanchu slowly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she stood up and helped Huo Xizhen out of bed. She helped Huo Xizhen put on her coat and straightened her clothes carefully. When she looked up, she saw Huo Xizhen looking at her with a smile. Shanshan, youre so beautiful. I heard that celebrities are all very busy. How do you have so much time off? At this moment, Huo Xizhen still did not know what would happen after she went downstairs to see the doctor. She was still concerned about Lin Shanchus schedule. Lin Shanchu looked calmly at her and asked, Do you like me very much? Yeah. Huo Xizhen nodded and continued, Chaosheng said that he knew you and could let me meet you. I really didnt expect him to bring you over to spend the holiday with us Towards the end, her tone sounded much more downcast. She was probably thinking about how Huo Chaosheng had been arrested by the police. Lin Shanchu suddenly understood many things. When Huo Chaosheng was arrested by the police, he had thanked her because of Huo Xizhen. Huo Chaosheng had captured her not because he wanted to threaten Huo Xunzhou, but because he wanted to make Huo Xizhen happy. Huo Chaosheng had always known about his background. He also knew that Huo Xunzhou had been looking for Huo Xizhen, but he had never told him. Huo Chaosheng realized that he could no longer kept Huo Xizhen a secret when Huo Xunzhou moved back to the Huo familys old mansion, so he took her away. This was because Huo Chaosheng knew that after Huo Xunzhou found Huo Xizhen, he would definitely find a psychiatrist to treat her and get the truth out of her about what happened back then. Did he intend to live a free and happy life for a few days before Huo Xizhen was found? Lets go down quickly. Dont let the doctor wait too long. Alright. Lin Shanchu went downstairs with Huo Xizhen. The psychiatrist had been untied and was tremblingly sitting opposite Huo Xunzhout, not daring to move a muscle. Everyone in Capital City knew that Huo Xunzhou had only returned home for a few months before he seized Huo Zhuxius power. The psychiatrist did not dare to provoke him. The living room had been cleared out. Li MO and the others were not there. Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchus voice caught the attention of the two people in the living room. When the psychiatrist saw Huo Xizhen, his expression changed in an instant. Huo Xizhen sized up the psychiatrist curiously. Why did the doctor look so timid? Huo Xizhenforted the psychiatrist. Take it easy, theyre all nice people. After finished speaking, she nced at Huo Xunzhou. Although this young man who called her Aunt looked a little scary, she subconsciously felt that he was not a bad person. Miss Huo, the psychiatrist called out with a mixed facial expression. You know me? Huo Xizhen widened her eyes in surprise. The psychiatrist sized her up and said, Weve met before. Huo Xunzhou interrupted him, Lets begin. When Lin Shanchu went upstairs, they had already arranged a recliner in the living room. Lie down, Lin Shanchu said as she brought Huo Xizhen to the recliner. Huo Xizhen grabbed her hand andy down uneasily. Lin Shanchuforted her softly. Take a nap and youll remember Ah Fu when you wake up. Huo Xizhen nodded in trust. The hypnosis took a long time. In the beginning, Huo Xizhen did not react at all. After an unknown period of time, Huo Xizhens reaction started to be intense. Screams, panic, tears Those sad and agitated emotionssted for a long time until Huo Xizhen woke up trembling. Her eyes were filled with fear, and she was as fragile as a willow leaf in the wind. Do you remember who Ah Fu is? Huo Xunzhou asked her hoarsely. Huo Xizhen followed the voice and looked over. When she saw Huo Xunzhous face clearly, tears welled up in her eyes. You are Xunzhou? Her voice trembled so much that she could barely make a sound. Huo Xunzhou replied, Yes. Huo Xizhen looked at him and cried uncontrobly. Too much time had passed, and Huo Xunzhou was too young when he went missing. He did not have any impression of this aunt. He only learned that his aunt and his mother were schoolmates after he returned to Capital City. What happened back then? Huo Xunzhou asked indifferently, unmoved by her tears. Everything started because of me. I killed Ah Fu Huo Xizhen barely managed to stop crying. She choked with sobs and could not speak for a moment. Was it you or Huo Zhuxiu? Huo Xunzhou asked her coldly. Huo Xizhen paled, as if she did not know how she should open her mouth. I did a paternity test for Chaosheng and Huo Zhuxiu. They are father and son. You know about it? Huo Xizhen looked like she was about to copse from the pain. Zhenzhen! Huo Zhuxius voice suddenly came from the door. Huo Xizhens pale face almost showed no trace of blood after she heard Huo Zhuxius voice. She began to tremble uncontrobly. Huo Zhuxiu limped in and ran towards Huo Xizhen when he saw her. Donte over! Huo Xizhen screamed in horror, Dont youe over! Huo Zhuxiu, who had always been haughty and ruthless, was stopped in his tracks by Huo Xis unthreatening voice. Zhenzhen, go home with me, Huo Zhuxiu said calmly. Go home? Huo Xizhen sneered and shrieked, So that you can keep me locked up in that sunless basement like a fool?! Chapter 477 - 477: Huo Zhuxiu, the President of Huo Corporation, Arrested for Killing His Wife Chapter 477 - 477: Huo Zhuxiu, the President of Huo Corporation, Arrested for Killing His Wife Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion When Li MO came in with his men, Huo Xunzhou slowly raised his hand, signaling him to ignore Huo Zhuxiu. Then, he reached out and pointed at the psychiatrist. Li MO understood his signal and took the psychiatrist outside. The psychiatrist had been in the house the whole time and heard the conversation between Huo Xunzhou and Huo Xizhen clearly. Although the brief exchange between Huo Xunzhou and Huo Xizhen onlysted a few sentences without revealing any more information, the psychiatrist heard she say, I did a paternity test for Chaosheng and Huo Zhuxiu. They are father and son. Although he had been entrusted by Huo Zhuxiu to hypnotize Huo Xizhen and seal her memories back then, he was not clear about the rtionship between her and Huo Zhuxiu. However, the fact that Huo Chaosheng was Huo Zhuxius biological son was already considered shocking news in the circle. Therefore, the psychiatrist panicked when Li MO dragged him out. I didnt hear anything just now. I wont say anything. You guys can rest assured He was afraid that Huo Xunzhou would use extreme measures to shut him up. The psychiatrist kept talking while Li MO was dragging him to the front door. Tired of hearing those words, Li MO shouted, Shut up! He pushed the psychiatrist to the bodyguard beside him and ordered, Send him back. However, the atmosphere in the foyer across the wall was getting more and more tense. Compared to the agitated Huo Xizhen, Huo Zhuxiu was rtively calm. He seemed to have gotten used to Huo Xizhens emotional breakdown. If vou dont want to live in the basement. thats fine. Huo Zhuxius tone was so calm that it was as if he was really discussing a serious matter with Huo Xizhen. Huo Xizhen shook her head and calmed down a little. I wont go back with you! Ah Fu, Chaosheng, I Huo Xizhen turned to look at Huo Xunzhou and said in a pained tone, And Xunzhou, whom you deliberately lost when he was less than three years old. All our lives have been ruined by you! And yet you can live with such a clear conscience! What right do you have to live?! What right do you have?! Huo Zhuxius face finally showed a slight emotional fluctuation. Zhenzhen, youre too emotional now. Lets take our time and talk about it when we get home. Its been so many years, but you still wont let me go! Huo Xizhen sneered, Its time for you to pay the price. Huo Zhuxius expression changed drastically as he asked, Have you forgotten what you promised me back then? What I regret the most is that I had listened to your nonsense back then and thought you entered the wrong room because you were just drunk and confused at that moment! And you swept this matter under the carpet for the sake of your familys so-called reputation! If I had been more courageous back then and told Ah Fu about this matter sooner, she wouldnt have died a tragic death at your hands! Huo Xizhen was crying andughing at the same time, looking like she was about to go crazy. Im going to let everyone know what kind of person you are, Huo Zhuxiu! Im going to ruin your reputation and make you die a horrible death! Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou stood quietly at the side. When Lin Shanchu heard those words, she turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. His drooping hands on his sides were already clenched into fists. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging and his knuckles had turned white because he had used too much force. Huo Xunzhou slowly walked up to Huo Zhuxiu and stared daggers at him. You killed my mother? Why? Huo Xunzhou asked in a deep voice before Huo Zhuxiu could reply. Huo Zhuxiu sneered probably because making excuses was futile at this point, so he simply put his cards on the table and said, Whats the point of pursuing this matter now? If your mother is dead, so be it. You are my child. If you want to protect the Huo family business, then you must keep all these secrets to yourself. The Huo family business Huo Xunzhou suddenly understood something and slowly turned to look at Huo Xizhen. Huo Xizhen slumped to the ground and cried, Huo Zhuxiu killed Ah Fu to silence her because she found out about Chaoshengs identity! No matter what kind of family it was, it was a shocking scandal for siblings to have an affair. Huo Zhuxiu was selfish and vicious, and he valued power and the prosperity of his family more than anything else. Therefore, when he found out that Huo Xunzhous mother knew about Huo Chaoshengs background, he chose to kill her directly to get rid of any future troubles. After that, he hypnotized Huo Xizhen and locked her up in a sunless basement. This was the truth that Huo Xunzhou had been searching for. It was so absurd. Huo Xunzhous mother, the daughter of the Yun family, was a famous socialite in Capital City. If she had not met Huo Zhuxiu, she would have lived a blissful life. Including Huo Xunzhou himself, his original life trajectory should have been happy and smooth sailing. All of this was caused by Huo Zhuxiu. Huo Xunzhou suddenlyughed. Lin Shanchu looked at him worriedly. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Huo Zhuxiu. I will destroy everything you want, including your business, your power, your status and your familys honor. What are you doing? Huo Zhuxius expression changed drastically as he shouted, Dont forget that your surname is Huo! The Huo family business cant be destroyed in your hands. Is it an honor to be surnamed Huo? Ask Chaosheng and Aunt if any of them want to take the surname Huo. Huo Xunzhou roared and threw Huo Zhuxiu onto the ground. At this moment, the sound of a police carts horn could be heard outside. Huo Zhuxiu finally began to panic. You called the police? Why did you call the police? Huo Xunzhou just looked at him coldly without saying a word. The police rushed in with an arrest warrant and arrested Huo Zhuxiu. Huo Xizhen was also taken away as a witness. Lin Shanchu apanied Huo Xunzhou to the police station. It was alreadyte at night when they came out of the police station after finishing their statements. Just as Lin Shanchu was about to turn around to talk to Huo Xunzhou, he fell to the ground with a thud. Huo Xunzhou! Big Brother! Li MO rushed over and helped Huo Xunzhou into the car together with Lin Shanchu. Then, he drove the car straight to the hospital. After examination, the doctor said that Huo Xunzhou was just overworked these past few days and that there was no other difort. Only then did Lin Shanchu feel relieved. She stood in front of the bed and stared at Huo Xunzhous sleeping face for a while before slowly sitting down by the bed and holding his hand to apany him. Lin Shanchu had been tired all day, and soon fell asleep lying on the bedside. When she woke up, she heard whispers at the door of the ward. Lin Shanchu opened her eyes and looked up to see Patriarch Yun and Madam Yun sitting across the bed. She looked to the side and saw that Huo Xunzhous uncle, aunt and Yun Yi and his other two siblings were present. Everyone from the Yun family had arrived. They all sat quietly, not making a single sound. Yun Wu saw the confusion on Lin Shanchus face and walked over, showing her the phone screen. A trending headline was disyed on the screen: [Huo Zhuxiu, the president of Huo Corporation, arrested for killing his wife.] Huo Xunzhou had been too busy these few days and had not returned to the Yun family, so the Yun family only found out what had happened when they saw the news.. Chapter 478 - 478: Because You Are The Opponent Chapter 478 - 478: Because You Are The Opponent Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Huo Chaosheng and Huo Zhuxiu were arrested by the police for murder, shocking both the entertainment and business industries. Topics about them remained trending for many days. Huo Corporations stock had hit the lower circuit for multiple consecutive days. Huo Xunzhou was discharged from the hospital after a nap on that day. However, he fell seriously ill on the night he returned home. This illness appeared out of nowhere. He did not have appetite during the day, nor could he sleep at night. Lin Shanchu pushed all of her work aside and stayed at home to take care of Huo Xunzhou. Yun Yi and Yun Jin took turns to visit Huo Xunzhou every day. Huo Xunzhou usually did not talk much. He would listen quietly to whatever others said, and his gaze would involuntarily follow Lin Shanchu. After they left, Huo Xunzhou would follow Lin Shanchu wherever he went. Its gettingte. I still have something to do tonight. Ill be leaving now. Yun Yi stood up and saw Huo Xunzhous gaze falling on Lin Shanchu. It was obvious that he had not paid attention to what he had just said. Xunzhou? Yun Yi called out. Only then did Huo Xunzhou turn around and look at Yun Yi. Big Brother, you are leaving? Huo Xunzhou asked after noticing that Yun Yi had stood up. Yeah. Yun Yi turned to Lin Shanchu and said, Shanshan, see me off. Lin Shanchu noticed Yun Yis gaze. Just as Huo Xunzhou was about to follow Yun Yi, he stopped him. Its windy and little cold today. Dont follow me. Huo Xunzhou had been recuperating at home recently and wore loungewear every day. He was wearing dark gray cotton loungewear today, looking thin and elegant without much attack power. His resistance was written in his beautiful charming eyes. Lin Shanchus heart softened under his silent stare. Be good, she whispered, kissing Huo Xunzhou on the lips while Yun Yi was paying attention. Huo Xunzhous eyes lit up as he obediently sat down on the sofa. Big Brother, Ill see you off. Lin Shanchu curled her lips and trotted to catch up with Yun Yi. It was indeed windy today. When Lin Shanchu walked out of the door, the strong wind almost made her unable to open her eyes. Yun Yi also reached out to block the wind. Xunzhou has been in this state recently. It must be tiring to take care of him, right? Why would I be tired? Big Brother, why do you say so? Lin Shanchu looked at him in confusion. Yun Yi pondered for a moment before he asked cautiously, Should we consider looking for a counseling psychologist? No. Lin Shanchus expression froze. Alright, Yun Yi replied and did not try to persuade her further, as if it was just a casual remark. Judging by Yun Yis personality, Lin Shanchu knew that he would always make a decision after careful consideration and would never mention it casually. Lin Shanchu stopped at the entrance and looked solemnly at Yun Yi. Big Brother, it is true that something has been troubling Huo Xunzhou, but his mind is far tougher than you think. He doesnt need a counseling Dsvchologist vet. Its iust that he cant figure out some things at the moment. Yun Yi rxed and smiled. I was too nervous because Ive never seen Xunzhou like this. Dont worry, hell be fine. Huo Xunzhou had once pulled her out of the abyss. He was an optimistic person, so this was nothing to him. As for Yun Yi, he was probably overwrought. Im leaving. Yun Yi nodded. Lin Shanchu watched Yun Yis car disappear before she turned around and returned to her room. When she went into the room, Huo Xunzhou was still sitting quietly on the sofa waiting for her, not moving at all. Lin Shanchu smiled at him. As soon as she walked over, Huo Xunzhou reached out and pulled her into his arms. He rested his chin gently on her shoulder and asked her in a low voice, What did Big Brother say to you? Lin Shanchu tilted her head and replied, Take a guess. Huo Xunzhou pondered for a moment before he frowned and shook his head lightly. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her in revenge. As if surrendering, Lin Shanchu avoided his kiss and spoke, Ill tell you, okay? Alright. Huo Xunzhou took a few steps back and scrutinized her face. Big Brother asked when were going to hold our wedding, Lin Shanchu said with a smile. How did you answer him? I said Id be too busy and feared that I wouldnt have time to prepare for the wedding, so Id probably have to ask his third brother to put in some effort. Lin Shanchu smiled at Huo Xunzhou. Huo Xunzhou was stunned for a moment before heughed along. Then Ill have to work a little harder. In the following days, Huo Xunzhou actually started preparing for the wedding. Furthermore, he was dedicated and serious about it. It was just just selection of a venue, but dozens ofpanies came to bid with their proposals. These dozens ofpanies were amazing with their proposals, and each of them was better than the other. Huo Xunzhou looked at them as if they were tender documents. He read them carefully one by one and then screened them one by one. As a result, he became busier and his condition was much better. Lin Shanchu finally felt relieved when she saw him like this. After that, she slowly started to deal with work. Life was gradually getting back on track. Huo Xunzhou was idle at home preparing for the wedding, whereas Lin Shanchu took on some jobs that did not take up much time and guaranteed that she could go home to apany him every day. On the way rushing for an endorsement event, He Xiang asked her, Hows your uncle recently? I havent seen him posting on WeChat, and he doesnt reply to me on WeChat either. Hes quite busy recently. Lin Shanchu thought of Number 1357 and couldnt help but grit her teeth. Number 1357 was really good at hiding. It had been almost a month since she was kidnapped by Huo Chaosheng, and he still had not shown himself. However, she could not find him. When Lin Shanchu returned home at night, she found Li MO squatting at the door smoking, looking a little depressed. Sister-inw. When he saw Lin Shanchu return, he immediately stood up. Whats wrong? Lin Shanchu asked. Li MO nced inside and replied, Huo Zhuxius case is about to start next week. So fast? Lin Shanchu quickly walked in. Li MO exined in a low voice, Huo Chaoshengs trial is also expected soon because theres too much attention. Huo Xunzhou was ying chess with himself in the living room. He raised his head when he heard footsteps. You are back. When he looked at Lin Shanchu, a smile appeared on his face. The chessboard was usually ced in the study. Huo Xunzhou had probably taken it to the living room to y chess while waiting for her. How can you lose to yourself? Lin Shanchu asked as she sat across from him. Because you are the opponent, Huo Xunzhou replied without hesitation. Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment before she smiled at him with her chin in her hands. This was the first time she had seen someone like Huo Xunzhou who could y chess with himself and even lose to himself. After the game ended, Huo Xunzhou put away the chessboard. Then, Lin Shanchu dragged him to the kitchen to make dinner together. Recently, Lin Shanchu cooked at home more often. Huo Xunzhou followed her instructions and took out the required ingredients from the fridge. He then walked to the sink and started washing the vegetables. Do you want me to apany you to Huo Zhuxius trial? Lin Shanchu asked. After a moment of pause, Huo Xunzhou replied, Li MO told you, didnt he? Yes. I can go by myself.. Chapter 479 - 479: Number 1357, Come Out! Chapter 479 - 479: Number 1357, Come Out! Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion You really dont need me to apany you? Lin Shanchu asked again. Huo Xunzhou had a serious look on his face as he answered patiently, No need. Alright then. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips. Huo Xunzhou seemed to have figured everything out and could now face Huo Zhuxiu. Is there still no news about Number 1357? Huo Xunzhou suddenly asked her. No. Lin Shanchu had also tried to find Number 1357. She had phoned Number 1357, but still could not get through. She had also tried the dessert shops that Number 1357 liked to visit before, but she drew a nk. Now, it seemed that she could only wait for Number 1357 to appear automatically. On the day of Huo Zhuxius trial, Lin Shanchu attended an event. When the event ended, a group of reporters suddenly appeared and surrounded Lin Shanchu. Huo Zhuxius trial is held today. Arent you going to observe the trial with Huo Xunzhou? There are rumors online that Huo Zhuxiu and Huo Chaosheng are father and son. Is this true? Is Huo Chaoshengs trial going to start soon? As Huo Chaoshengs friend, did he ever tell you about Sang Mins murder? You know nothing about Huo Chaoshengs murder of Sang Min? The reporters were like wolves that had smelled blood, forming a crowd around Lin Shanchu. Fortunately, Qi Cheng was present today. He stood in front of Lin Shanchu and tried his best to separate the reporters from her. It had not been peaceful recently, and the experienced Qi Cheng was worried that Lin Shanchu would encounter such a situation, so he followed her to attend events. To his surprise, he really encountered such an unexpected situation. Brother Qi, we cant leave like this. Why dont we Huo Zhuxius trial was about to end, and Lin Shanchu was in a hurry to pick up Huo Xunzhou, so she decided to just answer the reporters questions directly. Qi Cheng hurriedly interrupted her. No, we cant express our opinions on this matter. It involves a major issue, and things are moreplicated. As soon as Qi Cheng finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Lin Shanchu abruptly raised her head and realized that the reporters around her had all disappeared. Qi Cheng, who was standing in front of Lin Shanchu just now, was now walking beside her and discussing her schedule for the next day with He Xiang. After Qi Cheng and He Xiang had walked for a distance, they realized that Lin Shanchu was not following them, so they stopped and looked back at her. Sister Lin, why arent you leaving? He Xiang asked her with a puzzled look. Qi Cheng saw her abnormal expression and called out to her worriedly, Shanshan? Lin Shanchu stepped forward quickly and said with a frown, Those reporters just now disappeared. He Xiang looked confused as she replied, There arent any reporters. Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at Qi Cheng. What reporters are you talking about? Qi Chengs reaction was the same as He Xiangs. It was clearly a real scene that had just happened, but why did Qi Cheng and He Xiang have no impression of it at all? Lin Shanchu remembered Huo Xunzhou had said that he suddenly knew how to fly a helicopter. I was just trying to scare you guys. Lin Shanchu looked natural as she dropped the topic. Wait for me outside. I need to go to the washroom. Ill go with you, He Xiang quickly said. No need. He Xiang did not insist on apanying Lin Shanchu after her firm refusal. Lin Shanchu turned around and slowly took a few steps, asionally turning back to look at He Xiang and Qi Cheng. After confirming that He Xiang and Qi Cheng had disappeared, she stopped and did not continue walking inside. Number 1357,e out! It is absolutely impossible for humans to make the scene change suddenly. In this way, everyone was eliminated. In addition, this action could be considered as getting her out of a fix while eliminating that useless system, Number 2580. What happened just now was definitely Number 1357s doing. Lin Shanchu looked around, but still could find Number 1357. If youe out and admit your mistake now, I can consider forgiving you. If you donte out now, dont evere out again! As soon as she finished speaking, light footsteps could be heard not far away. Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Number 1357 carefully walking towards her. She took a deep breath, raised her chin slightly, and stared expressionlessly at Number 1357. Number 1357 did not dare to look at her at all. He just nced at her and lowered his head timidly. You said youd forgive me, he muttered. I only said that I would consider forgiving you, but I didnt say that I would really forgive you. Lin Shanchu sneered at him. Number 1357 was taken aback. Then can you reconsider it? Sure. Lin Shanchu chuckled, looking very friendly. Really? Number 1357 asked tentatively as his face lit up with joy. Really Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before she raised the bag in her hand and hit Number 1357 hard. As if I will do it! How dare you control me?! How dare you force me to follow the plot! I have to kill you today! You still dare to dodge me! Try dodging again! Number 1357 was already trying his best to dodge her. But in the end, he was still beaten ck and blue by Lin Shanchu. After Lin Shanchu vented her anger, she returned to her gentle and kind appearance. Lets go. Where are we going? Number 1357 did not dare to speak loudly. His voice was so soft that it was like he was whispering. Go home. Lin Shanchu red at him coldly and asked, Where else do you think youre going? Oh. Number 1357 was a little ttered as he replied, Okay, okay, okay. Lets go home. Qi Cheng and He Xiang were surprised to see Lin Shanchue out with Number 1357? He Xiang asked, When did your uncle go in? Qi Cheng asked, Did Mr. Lin fight with someone? I had a conflict with the security guards inside just now, Number 1357 replied expressionlessly. Qi Cheng frowned slightly. Even if theres a conflict, they shouldnt have hit you. Ill go in and reason with them. It was a fabricated reason to begin with. How could he let Qi Cheng go in and argue with someone? Number 1357 pulled Qi Chengs arm and said, No need, I won. The other partys injuries are worse than mine. Oh, forget it then. Qi Cheng gave up on the idea of arguing with someone. If the other partys injuries were more serious, he might have to pay for the medical expenses. After parting ways with Qi Cheng and He Xiang, Lin Shanchu took Number 1357 to the court to pick up Huo Xunzhou. Lin Shanchu waited in the car for a while. When she saw Huo Xunzhoue out, she got out of the car and went up to him. Yun Jin and the others also went to observe the trial. Huo Xunzhou was walking in the middle and saying something to them from time to time. Lin Shanchu deliberately walked past Huo Xunzhou, trying to sneak behind him. As a result, Huo Xunzhou discovered her before she could do so. Shanshan. Lin Shanchu raised her head and met Huo Xunzhous gaze. Then, she pursed her lips and quickly walked up to him. Huo Xunzhou immediately held her hand. How was the verdict? Lin Shanchu asked. Aunt sued him too, Huo Xunzhou said calmly. Hell be sentenced to life imprisonment, but he is going to file an appeal. An appeal? That old man Huo Zhuxiu still had the nerve to file an appeal? Chapter 480 - 480 Excuse Me, Are You Lin Suguangs Family? Chapter 480 - 480 Excuse Me, Are You Lin Suguang''s Family? Lets go home first. Alright. After bidding farewell to the rest of the Yun family, the two of them walked towards the parking lot. Huo Xunzhou whispered to Lin Shanchu all the way. When they walked up to the car, Number 1357 got out of the car to open the door for them. Only then did Huo Xunzhou notice him. Number 1357 and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other. Then, he turned around and opened the door to the rear seat before smiling tteringly at Lin Shanchu. Shanshan, get in the car! Lin Shanchu nced expressionlessly at Number 1357 before getting into the car. When Number 1357 looked at Huo Xunzhou, the smile on his face instantly disappeared. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Huo Xunzhou say, Youre back. Huo Xunzhou made the statement in a calm tone as if he was greeting him. Yeah. Number 1357 was slightly taken aback. Huo Xunzhou bent down and got into the car. Number 1357 nced inside before he closed the door and got into the drivers seat to start driving. Back at the vi, Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu tacitly sat down on the sofa side by side. Number 1357 followed them from behind. As soon as he stepped into the house, he met the two peoples direct gazes and gradually became guilty. Im a little tired. Ill go and get some rest first Number 1357 tentatively walked upstairs. However, Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchus gazes followed him closely. The two of them looked expressionless, but they were scarier than scolding him. Number 1357 was forced to retreat by the two peoples aura. He obediently sat down on the sofa opposite them, as if he was waiting for the trial. He first looked at Lin Shanchu. Yes, I deliberately controlled you to find Huo Chaosheng because Im running out of time, so I wanted the plot to go faster. Then, he looked at Huo Xunzhou and continued, You would use your means to deal with Huo Chaosheng in the heat of the moment if he made a move on Shanshan first. In that way, the Huo familys matter woulde to aplete end, pushing the plot to its ending. Lin Shanchu frowned slightly and asked, So, this is the ending? Huo Chaosheng and Huo Zhuxiu had been imprisoned one after the other. The Huo familys matter was finally over, but she wondered if this was considered the ending. Number 1357 smiled as he replied, Itsing to an end, but this isnt the ending. You have remembered the entire initial plot, havent you? Lin Shanchu was even more certain of her guess. The current Number 1357 was different from the Number 1357 she had first met. He looked very confident with a card up his sleeve, as if everything was under his control. You will know everything. Number 1357 did not deny it. I havent forgiven you for controlling me to follow the plot. If you tell me the initial plot, Ill consider forgiving you. Lin Shanchu raised her chin slightly, looking very unreasonable and willful. Ill tell you three dayster. Number 1357 answered quickly, as if he had guessed that she would ask this question and had prepared the answer in his mind beforehand. Why three dayster? Lin Shanchus intuition told her that Number 1357 was up to no good again, so she asked, What happens if you dont tell me after three days? Then I will die a horrible death. Number 1357s expression turned serious in an instant. Lin Shanchus delicate brows furrowed as she asked, Whom did you learn from to swear at the drop of a hat? Number 1357 stood up and replied, Im going to rest. Wait a minute. Huo Xunzhou, who had been silent all this while, suddenly called out to him. Is there anything else? Number 1357 stopped in his tracks. There are explosives buried under Chaoshengs vi. You know about this too? Huo Xunzhou got the answer from his calm gaze. He knew it. Explosives? Lin Shanchus expression changed slightly as she asked, What explosives? Chaosheng has an extreme personality. He has never been a kind person. Naturally, he wouldnt let things end well. Huo Xunzhous tone was unusually calm. He was only ready to set off on the third day because he knew that Huo Chaosheng had once bought the materials to make explosives, so he had to be well-prepared before he dared to save Lin Shanchu. Chapter 481 - 481: Chain Reaction Chapter 481 - 481: Chain Reaction Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion After Lin Shanchu got used to Number 1357s existence, she had almost forgotten that he had a human name called Lin Suguang. What the other party said was a line that appeared frequently in movies and dramas that involved criminal investigation. Lin Shanchu couldnt help but grip her phone. I am. Pleasee to the police station to im the body. Lin Shanchu only felt a buzz in her ears, and she couldn not hear what the other party was saying. What? Seeing this, Huo Xunzhou took the phone over. He hung up the phone after exchanging a few words with the police. Lin Shanchu looked at him as her eyes were filled with trepidation. Huo Xunzhou couldnt help but reach out and touch the top of her head before he said softly, Something bad happened to Number 1357. Lin Shanchu looked at him in a daze. After a while, she came to her senses and mumbled, He asked me to go to the police station to im the body. But Number 1357 is not a human, so how can he be dead? Lets go to the police station first, Huo Xunzhou said in a deep voice. The forensic doctor lifted the white cloth on the morgue table, revealing a dismembered corpse. The broken limbs had been pieced together, barely forming the shape of a human body. The face was clear after the bloodstains on his face had been wiped clean. It was this face. When he left the house in the morning, he was still talking to her with a smile. The forensic doctor observed Lin Shanchus expression. He was worried that the family member would not be able to ept such a shock, so he wanted to cover it with the white cloth. Lin Shanchu stopped him. She slowly leaned over to look at him and shouted hoarsely, Number 1357. Its him, Huo Xunzhou whispered as he stood beside her. Who did it? Lin Shanchu turned to look at the police behind her. Her eyes were red-rimmed, but her voice was calm. Have you caught the murderer? He was caught red-handed. He was arrested when he dumped the body, the policeman said in a deep voice. I want to meet him, Lin Shanchu said in an agitated voice. As soon as the police officer was about to speak, someone pushed open the door and entered the morgue. It looked like a police officer with a higher position. Mr. Huo, lets talk outside. They took Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou to meet the prisoner. The criminal was tall, dressed in tattered clothes and covered in stains with his head lowered, so his face could not be seen clearly. Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at the prisoners face expressionlessly through the iron bars. At this moment, the prisoner slowly raised his head. It was a face that she would recognize no matter how it looked like. Lin Shanchu and the man looked at each other for a moment before she burst intoughter. Lu Shiyuan. When Lu Shiyuan saw her, he was stunned for a moment before he rushed over. You guys from the Lin family are really ruthless! He grimaced and pulled at the iron cell door, as if he wanted to jump out and catch Lin Shanchu. Huo Xunzhou quickly pulled Lin Shanchu back. Compared to Lu Shiyuans madness, Lin Shanchu was not any better. Sheughed so hard that she could barely stand up straight with tears glistening in her eyes. I understand, I understand everything she muttered. She understood what Number 1357 meant when he said that he was running out of time. He also understood why Number 1357 swore that he would die a horrible death. It turned out that this was what Number 1357 meant when he said that he could only die to protect her. A life for a life? Shanshan! Huo Xunzhou supported her worriedly. Lin Shanchu remembered what Huo Xunzhou had said to her before they came to the police station. You know about Number 1357s n, dont you? It was just my guess, and I couldnt confirm it at that time. Lu Shiyuans murder and dismembering of the corpse was exposed, causing an uproar. Manyizens sighed. In the love triangle back then, one died and the other became a murderer. Now, only Lin Shanchu was left safe and sound. Lin Shanchu had not gone out for a few days after returning home from the police station. The Yun family took turnsing to visit her. Wen Huan and Ming Yao hade to visit her and express their condolences. Other than Huo Xunzhou, no one knew about Number 1357s existence. They only knew that Lin Suguang was her uncle. Lin Shanchu felt that she did not have any deep feelings for Number 1357, so she did not feel that sad. She just could not lift her spirits. Huo Xunzhou and her roles were suddenly switched. Huo Xunzhou brought all his work home and spent most of his time by her side. The quiet days suddenly arrived, and time passed quickly. Huo Zhuxiu lost the appeal trial, Huo Chaoshengs first trial started, whereas Lu Shiyuan was taken to court. Everything happened one after another. By the time Lin Shanchu came to her senses, it was already the spring of the next year. The news announcement on Lu Shiyuans execution made headlines on various websites. After reading the news online, Lin Shanchu asked Yun Wu sitting opposite her, Yun Wu, dont you think the year has passed very quickly? Is that so? Its no different from before. Is that so? Its no different from before. Yun Wu looked at Lin Shanchu nkly. After arriving home on that night, Lin Shanchu mentioned the matter to Huo Xunzhou. Standing behind her, Huo Xunzhou dried her hair and said in gentle, maic voice, The year has indeed passed very quickly. It must be a chain reaction caused by Number 1357s departure. Lin Shanchu nodded in realization. On the day of Lu Shiyuans execution, Lin Shanchu went to Number 1357s favorite dessert shop. She picked a lot of desserts. They were all Number 1357s favorite desserts. When she walked to the cashier to make payment, she noticed something unusual. The ground in the cake shop shook, the ceiling above her fell down, and the dessert disy cabs toppled over. However, the customers in the shop did not seem to notice the anomaly and continued to chat andugh as they bought things. Lin Shanchu wanted to say something and run out, but she could neither make a sound nor move her feet until her consciousnesspletely disappeared. Lin Shanchu gasped and abruptly opened her eyes. Sister-inw, youre awake! You must be tired from preparing for the wedding in the past few days, right? Yun Wu came over from the side and smiled sweetly. Yun Wu? Lin Shanchu frowned as Yun Wu would only call her Sister-inw when she was trying to please Huo Xunzhou. Third Brother should be here soon! After looking at the time, Yun Wu held onto Lin Shanchus arm and continued, When Third Brother sees you in a wedding dress, hell be mesmerized! Upon hearing those words, Lin Shanchu looked around and realized that she was in a bridal shop. She was clearly in the cakery just now, but why was she now in the bridal shop? Lin Shanchu got up and ran outside, but she bumped into Huo Xunzhou who was running towards her. Shanshan! Huo Xunzhou supported her, looking a little flustered. After they looked at each other for a moment, Lin Shanchu asked tentatively, What happened? Its a chain reaction, Huo Xunzhou said in a deep voice. It matched. Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief. Huo Xunzhou was probably in the same situation as her. Third Brother, Sister-inw,e and try on the wedding dress and, Yun Wu called out to them. Neither of them knew what had happened, so they could only try on the wedding dress first. After trying on the wedding dress, Lin Shanchu came out and continued to whisper to Huo Xunzhou, Theres something wrong with Yun Wu. It feels like a parallel world. She spoke for a long time but did not get a response from the man. Then, she looked up. However, she realized that Huo Xunzhou was looking at her with a passionate gaze. He smiled as he helped her arrange her wedding dress, and his deep voice sounded maic and pleasant. Shanshan, you are so beautiful today.. Chapter 482-END - 482: The End Chapter 482-END - 482: The End Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Lin Shanchu poked Huo Xunzhous chest and said, Im talking business with you. However, 1C1uo Xunzhou lowered his head and asked her for a kiss. Yun Wu was still watching them from the other side, so he restrained himself and did not pester Lin Shanchu for a long time. The two of them walked towards the Yun Wu. Yun Wu cupped her face and said enviously, The love of childhood sweethearts growing up together and then smoothly get married, I want it too!
At this moment, Yun Wu looked like a little girl. However, Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou were not used to it because Yun Wu whom they knew had always been a cool girl. Childhood sweethearts? Huo Xunzhou caught the key word. Lin Shanchu asked, Your Third Brother and me? Yun Wu nodded with a smile and said, Yes, many people are envious of you guys. Do you know Lin Suguang? Lin Shanchu asked Yun Wu as her eyes flickered slightly. Yun Wu shook her head and replied, Who is it? I dont know that name. After Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou looked at each other, she continued to ask, How about Lu Shiyuan? Do you know him? Who is he? Yun Wu shook her head again. Suddenly, a familiar mechanical voice rang in Lin Shanchus mind. [Ding! ] [Sweet novel system, Number 1357, has been activated.] Number 1357? Lin Shanchus heart skipped a beat. [Reading the initial plot for the host.] [The Lin family had adopted the stray Huo Xunzhou. A few yearster, the Lin familys daughter, Lin Shanchu, was born. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts] The synopsis of the sweet story was about a pair of childhood sweethearts. In this novel world, Lin Shanchu was a spoiled girl whom everyone doted on. She grew up with Huo Xunzhou, who was adopted by her family. Later, Huo Xunzhou was brought back by the Yun family after he grew up and left the Lin family. The two of them had been separated for a few years, but they had never stopped contacting each other until Lin Shanchu got into a university in Capital City and reunited with Huo Xunzhou. The two of themter confirmed their rtionship, and now they decided to get married after she had graduated from university. This was theplete opposite of the plot world that Lu Shiyuan existed in. It turned out that this was the initial plot. Lin Shanchu was not in the mood to study the plot. Instead, she questioned Number 1357. Why did you deal with Lu Shiyuan behind my back? [The simplest, most effective and logical way to kill Lu Shiyuan is to let him kill me, and I am destined to die in his hands.] Then you [Host, this novel world is your original life. Number 2580 has changed the plot and your life. Of course, this is not your fault. Its my mistake, so I fixed my mistake and fulfilled your wish for Lu Shiyuans death. The plot returned to the original world. Are you satisfied with this?] His voice was cold, polite and mechanical. He was Number 1357, but he was not Number 1357 at the same time. What if I say that Im not satisfied? Lin Shanchu asked willfully. Number 1357 said in an emotionless, mechanical voice, [Then Ill just restart the story and repair it.] As long as Im not satisfied, you will have to restart the story indefinitely, right? [Yes, because you are the victim, your satisfaction determines my missionpletion.] If the story starts over, will you still end up dying for me? [This is my mission.] Number 1357s reply was very official and emotionless. The previous Number 1357 had a physical body and used Lin Suguangs human body. At that time, his tone was as cold and mechanical as it was now, but Lin Shanchu could sense the subtle changes in his emotions. But now, she could only hear his voice. He seemed to have really be a machine. He was cold and emotionless. Got it. Lin Shanchu chuckled. Sister-inw? Yun Wu waved her hand in front of Lin Shanchu. Lin Shanchu ended her conversation with Number 1357 and came to her senses. Im a little tired. I want to go home and rest. But the wedding dress Yun Wu looked at the wedding dress at the side. There were still a few wedding dresses that she had not tried on. Alright. Huo Xunzhou patted Lin Shanchus head and said, Get changed, and well leave. When Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu returned home, Li MO was waiting at the entrance. Big Brother, Sister-inw. Lin Shanchu carefully looked at Li MO for a while before walking in. Huo Xunzhou walked behind her and took a document from Li Mo. Back in his room, he opened the document and read it together with Lin Shanchu. When Huo Xunzhou woke up after the novel world switched, he found an excuse for Li MO to investigate his rtionship with Lin Shanchu. The content on the document was exactly the same as what she had learned from Number 1357? This is a brand new world. After a pause, Huo Xunzhou continued, Or rather, this is the right track of the story. He looked at Lin Shanchu. She could have grown up happily. Later on, Number 1357s work went awry, causmg Number 2580 to take advantage of the loophole and rewrite Lin Shanchus life. Everything that Lin Shanchu had experienced waspletely different from her original life. No wonder Number 1357 had risked his life to protect her. This was what she deserved. A brand new world? As Lin Shanchu muttered to herself, she turned to look out the window. Are we going to pretend that all those events in the past never happened? No, we are just turning the page and moving on. Hearing Huo Xunzhous voice, Lin Shanchu turned her head and looked at him. Huo Xunzhous eyes were gentle as he held her hand. Everything that happened in the past really happened. Yun Wu and the others dont remember it, but I do. Shanshan, I remember your past, and I want to participate in your future. Huo Xunzhous sweet nothings always seemed especially sincere. She felt that no matter what he said, he would definitely do it. Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and threw herself into his arms. Brother Xunzhou, I cant bear to part with Number 1357 Her voice was a little choked. Huo Xunzhou hugged her and rested his chin on the top of her head. Yeah. But still I decided to let him go. Lin Shanchu sniffed and continued, Other than you, hes the one whos devoted to me the most. She had always said that he was a robot, but in fact, she had always felt very touched. Number 1357 had always been looking out for her. I know, Huo Xunzhou saidfortingly as he stroked her hair gently. The two of them spent a few days adapting to their new life. This world was no different from the past. The people were still the same, and the scenery was still the same. It was just that no one knew about Lu Shiyuan, Tang Qidai and Lin Suguang. They chose to register their marriage on a sunny day. When they came out with the marriage certificate, Number 1357s voice rang in Lin Shanchus mind. [Congrattions, host. Happy wedding.] Thank you. The wedding preparations had been nned beforehand. ording to Lin Shanchus preference, the wedding would be held outdoors. Her rtives and friends had all arrived. Even Lin Shanchus sisters, who were on good terms with her in the talent show, were present as well. Ning Yunxi was still a crybaby, Wen Tongtong was still a quiet girl, Ji Yuan joined in the fun, and Wen Huan was the best man Lin Shanchu,wearing a wedding dress, looked at Huo Xunzhou at the end of the red carpet and slowly smiled as she walked towards him step by step. It was true that the world was not all that beautiful sometimes. However, there was hope as long as one was alive. Even if there were wounds, they had to walk forward with hope because only the survivors had a chance to survive. As Huo Xunzhou watched her approach, he reached out to pull her into his arms. Before the emcee could say anything, he pulled up the veil and kissed her. [Ding! ] [Sweet novel system, Number 1357, has sessfullypleted the mission.
