Chapter 91: You Said It Yourself, That Was In the Past

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

An Youyun was so angry that her eyes reddened.

“Big Sister, how can you say that? You’ve stepped over the line!”

“I wasn’t talking about you.” Lin Shanchu glanced 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 Youyun’s eyes. “Big Sister, I’ve 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 can’t 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 didn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 the last word forcibly.

The other girls at the side were trying their best to hold back their laughter.

Lin Shanchu then walked out.

When she passed by An Youyun, she stopped and turned her head slightly to look at her.

“It’s not without reason that you’re ranked after Xia Jinmeng. Sometimes, she’s 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 I’m 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 you’re starting to feel anxious for not being able to think up a way to kill Lu Shiyuan?

The system was silent for a moment. [Aren’t you afraid of being beaten up for talking like this?]

It no longer tried to correct Lin Shanchu’s persona. It was more worried that Lin Shanchu would be beaten up if she was too arrogant.

Lin Shanchu replied, “I’m 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 explained, [Lu Shiyuan is coming.]

As soon as it finished speaking, Lin Shanchu saw a staff member flagging down a member to speak to her.

The member looked around and pointed at Lin Shanchu’s 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 was coming.

These days, Lin Shanchu’s negative romantic scandal was spreading like wildfire.

Lu Shiyuan had come out to clarify this matter today. Now, he had specially come to the production crew to see her. This would help to eliminate Lin Shanchu’s 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 show’s popularity.

“President Lu is coming to see you. You should get ready.”

“Didn’t we agree on training behind closed doors? How could you let friends and family visit the members on a whim? The production crew can’t give me special treatment. I’ll 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 wouldn’t believe those words!

“Do I have the final say in this matter?” Lin Shanchu asked suspiciously.

“I’ve contacted President Nan, ” the director said in a low voice. “He said that your opinion is needed in this matter.”

The production crew’s 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 black Rolls-Royce was parked under the street light outside the fence.

The door of the driver’s 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 was coming out of the backseat.

Then, he took out a sack of snacks from the trunk and followed Lu Shiyuan to Lin Shanchu’s 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! He’s tall and well-built!”

“He even brought flowers. How romantic.”

“It seems like the rumors are all false.”

“Don’t you know that President Lu came out personally to clarify the matter? He even said that he’s going to legally pursue the ones who are behind the rumors…”

“He has the strength to protect his wife. I’m so jealous…”

Across the fence, Lin Shanchu saw Lu Shiyuan’s 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 nonchalantly, “Did you hear that? They’re all praising you.”

“Are you happy now that you’ve humiliated me?” Lu Shiyuan’s 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 won’t be able to have a good ending if your personality is this weak.”

Lu Shiyuan glared at her. “You never dared to make such requests to me in the past!”

He helped Lin Shanchu clarify the rumors that afternoon, but there was still no news from Lin Shanchu’s side.

In the past, Lin Shanchu would ask about him worriedly as long as it was about anything related to him. It didn’t matter if said things were very insignificant and petty.

Lu Shiyuan could not sit still no matter what, so he decided to come directly to Lin Shanchu.

On his way to the training camp, he received a phone call from Lin Shanchu, who had used a staff member’s phone to contact him.

She only said two sentences.

“Since you’re here as my fiancé, bring me some flowers and snacks. Otherwise, don’t bother coming.”

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 didn’t 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 accumulating 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: Always Doing Weird Things

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Shiyuan was shocked by Lin Shanchu’s 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? You’re the one who helped Tang Qidai spread the rumor that I was harassing the members.” Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but laugh.

Shock streaked across Lu Shiyuan’s eyes.

He did not expect Lin Shanchu to know the truth.

Soon, the shock in Lu Shiyuan’s 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 wouldn’t become ruthless without a reason.

Lin Shanchu frowned. “Lu Shiyuan, is that thing above your neck just for show?”

She didn’t 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 a landslide 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 place in my grade. Tang Qidai accused me of cheating, but you didn’t even ask me a single question. You just told me to apologize to her…”

If Lin Shanchu didn’t think about it carefully, she wouldn’t have known that she had lived like this in the past.

She calmed down and looked at Lu Shiyuan coldly. “Do you think you’re 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 accepting his joy and anger. She would always tolerate his outbursts as well.

He was already used to Lin Shanchu’s 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 Shanchu’s words made his self-confidence show signs of crumbling.

The panic on Lu Shiyuan’s face disappeared in a flash as he quickly calmed down. “In the end, you’re 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 explained, [At present, the storyline of all the characters in this world has changed because of your awakening, which means that the character’s behavior is no longer completely restricted by the original settings…]

Lin Shanchu interrupted, “Explain to me in the way that humans understand.” [But I’m not a human…] the system thought.

On second thought, didn’t Lin Shanchu often do weird things that humans didn’t do?

[Lu Shiyuan’s words and actions are partially controlled by his settings. The other part comes 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 Shanchu’s 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 Shiyuan’s 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 Yan’s faces flashed 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 man’s voice could be heard from the woods beside where Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan were talking.

“Big Brother, Ms. Lin’s 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 Xunzhou’s 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 the latter was worried about Lin Shanchu.

“Lu Shiyuan really is a b*stard. That Jidai woman shattered Ms. Lin’s mother’s relic, but he actually called it a mere bangle…”

Li Mots tone gradually became angry.

“It’s illegal to kill people in this country,” Huo Xunzhou said emotionlessly.

Ads by Pubfuture
“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.

“I’m fine. It’s 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 couldn’t hear their conversation from a distance and couldn’t even see Lu Shiyuan’s 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, I completely forgot.”

“I’ll 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 don’t seem too happy.”

“How did you Imow?” She realized that Wen Tongtong was quite sharp and could always see through her emotional changes.

“It’s just a feeling,” Wen Tongtong replied.

Then, she mumbled to herself, “Then again, if I had a fiancé who thinks about other women every day, I might not be happy either.”

There was a hint ot pity in her gloating. Lin Shanchu’s lips twitched. “Oh, yeah.” People were like this sometimes.

They couldn’t bear to see others doing well.

Once they found out that others were living the same miserable life as them, they would be comforted.

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 fiancé.

Her fiancé was a man..







Chapter 93: She’s Not Moving Anymore, I Think She’s

Dead

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The members who had previously isolated Lin Shanchu because of the rumors were all a little embarrassed.

They didn’t know whether to accept 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 accepted the snacks.

“Thank you,” they said.

Lin Shanchu did not reply with “you’re welcome.” Instead, she said, “It’s all right.”

Those three simple words were like a hint.

The girls who understood smiled apologetically at Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu’s past life was full of malice.

But she knew that this world was brimming with kindness.

Young people always lacked judgment and were easily swayed by rumors.

She understood all of this.

When it was Xia Jinmeng’s 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 Shiyuan come forward to clarify everything, but he also gave Lin Shanchu flowers and snacks.

Xia Jinmeng felt as if she had been slapped 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 related 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, “What’s the logic of taking back something you’ve given away? It’s my business whether I eat it or not! It’s definitely none of your business!”

“Yeah, you’re 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 wasn’t for Xia Jinmeng’s actions, she wouldn’t have been able to get the health points so easily. Lu Shiyuan wouldn’t have been so submissive and begged to see her.

Once again, she had successfully leeched off Lu Shiyuan’s popularity.

She could get on the trending list again together with Lu Shiyuan.

Lin Shanchu was one step closer to getting famous.

Lu Shiyuan’s late-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.

The netizens started commenting.

[The domineering boss has come to visit his beautiful wife through the fence!

I’m 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? She’s just good friends with them!]

[That’s right! Why did you tag @Tang Qidai? Lin Shanchu is the real fiancée, after all!]

Previously, after Lu Shiyuan was ridiculed by the netizens, 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 didn’t 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 becoming fodder for Lin Shanchu’s happy ending.

Lu Shiyuan, who originally felt nothing but disdain for Lin Shanchu, now paid more attention to her.

Even the maggots on the internet felt that Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu were a better match!

They even dared to laugh at her!

She looked at the comments under the trending topic that deliberately tagged her. Of course, she wanted nothing more than to scold them back.

However, she couldn’t do that.

Tang Qidai stared at the phone screen. She endured the comments 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 didn’t you turn on the lights?”

Tang Qidai slowly raised her head.

The light from the phone’s 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-what’s 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 Qidai’s raised palm.

“Ms… Ahh!”

Ads by Pubfuture
Before He Xiang could say anything, Tang Qidai gave her another tight slap.

“Who allowed you to turn on the lights?”

“Ms. Dai, I will turn them off immediately… Ahh!”

He Xiang’s hand had just reached for the switch when Tang Qidai gave her another tight slap.

“B*tch! Why can’t you just go to hell?”

He Xiang had cute and delicate features. Her eyes, in particular, were unusually lively. No matter how Tang Qidai looked at them, she felt that they were somewhat similar to Lin Shanchu’s eyes.

That was why Tang Qidai hated He Xiang the moment she saw her when the latter 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 Qidai’s eyes went red from anger. She felt that He Xiang, who stood before her at that time, was actually Lin Shanchu.

Slapping He Xiang wasn’t 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 couldn’t 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 don’t hit me anymore…”

She hid under the table and took out her phone to call Tang Qidai’s 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.

“You’re 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 the commotion, screamed in shock, “Tang Qidai, what are you doing?”

She didn’t 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.

“That’s He Xiang, not Lin Shanchu!

“What’s 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 former’s phone.

The call was still ongoing, and the manager was still trying to persuade her.

“Daidai, calm down. I’m already on my way. I’ll be at your house soon.” Tang Qidai threw the baseball bat to the ground with a loud clang.

“She’s not moving anymore. I think she’s dead.”

Her tone was light as if she was saying that someone had picked a wildflower from the roadside..








Chapter 94: I Was Right

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hearing this, the manager was so scared that she almost crashed into the grassy divider.

“Stay there and don’t go anywhere. I’m already downstairs.”

“It’s a pity that she’s not Lin Shanchu.” Tang Qidai’s voice was calm. The manager’s heart skipped a beat, but she didn’t dare to say anything.

She had the key to Tang Qidai’s 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 the latter 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.

“She’s still alive,”

Tang Qidai’s expression relaxed, but it quickly tensed up again. “Why didn’t she die? Will she sue me? I still have so many dramas to film! Where would I have the time to deal with the lawsuit?”

The manager shot Tang Qidai a meaningful look. “Let’s take her to the hospital first.

“No!” Tang Qidai glanced 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 Qidai’s face, He Xiang hid behind the manager in tear.

“Madam, please save me…”

“Don’t be afraid. We’ll take you to the hospital later.” The manager gently patted He Xiang’s head.

He Xiang’s expression relaxed 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 glanced at Tang Qidai with quivering lips.

“I remember that your employment information states that you’re from the countryside and that you’re the only daughter in your family, right?” the manager said slowly.

He Xiang’s face paled.

“You’re so obedient and filial,” the manager continued. “I’m sure you want your parents to spend their twilight years in peace.”

“If the doctor asks me, I’ll 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 “it’s done”.

He Xiang also turned to look at Tang Qidai.

Tang Qidai looked away in disgust before saying to her manager, “I’ll leave everything to you. I’m going to stay in a hotel.”

When Tang Qidai tried to leave, she accidentally stepped on the blood on the ground. She frowned and scolded, “I’m so unlucky!”

He Xiang watched in disbelief as Tang Qidai slammed 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 blame 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. I’m 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. Shouldn’t they praise her?

[This is the male lead’s aura.]

The system’s voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. “Why? Just because he has gold embedded on his [beep–]?”

The last word was erased by the system.

The system sounded exasperated. [You… You… You’re so uncivilized!]

Lin Shanchu retorted, “Why do you care?”

The system was speechless. It couldn’t 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! They’ll be gone if we’re late.”

“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 didn’t know what had happened, it was still a good idea to run with them.

Lin Shanchu rushed to the big classroom and smelled the aroma of fried chicken at the door.

Yun Wu beckoned Lin Shanchu through the crowd. “Shanshan, come quickly.

It’s time to eat fried chicken!”

To think such a good thing would happen to her…

Ads by Pubfuture

“They’re 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 Shanchu’s mouth was completely 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 flavor 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 magnetic 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 Xunzhou’s expression did not change. He only raised an eyebrow slightly.

However, Lin Shanchu could clearly feel Huo Xunzhou’s dissatisfaction with this form of address.

The members all knew that Lin Shanchu was the daughter of Huo Xunzhou’s 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 Shanchu’s 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: Are You Not Going to Admit It After Kissing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu even suspected that Huo Xunzhou was deliberately showing off.

Huo Xunzhou’s eyes were calm and his magnetic voice had a hint of a smile. “You must continue to work hard, Shanshan.”

Lin Shanchu was puzzled.

She didn’t 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 didn’t know the dangers of the world.

At the same time, she looked a little childish.

People’s hearts would ache for her once they saw her.

Huo Xunzhou’s eyes softened whereas a hint of mischief appeared in his tone. “Don’t you plan on taking responsibility for me?”

Lin Shanchu was confused.

What the hell was he talking about?

“You’ve already kissed me, after all…” Huo Xunzhou deliberately slowed down his speech and prolonged his tone.

What nonsense was this?

“Don’t 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 Mo’s back. “Are you okay? I can’t believe a grown-up like you can still choke on coke while drinking…”

“I’m 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 didn’t hear anything.” Lin Shanchu was speechless.

Nan Mu and Li MO had thought that she and Huo Xunzhou had something going on.

Now, she was completely unable to explain herself.

Huo Xunzhou looked away and cleared his throat. “I’ll 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, don’t worry. I’ll work hard and break off the engagement with Lu Shiyuan as soon as possible. Then, I’ll take responsibility for you.”

Huo Xunzhou blinked quietly. He was speechless for a moment.

She took a large 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 Shanchu’s 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 Youyun’s 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 Shanchu’s 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 they completely 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 Yunxi’s 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 Shanchu’s 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.

“Don’t worry.” Lin Shanchu patted her head.

Yun Wu thought that Lin Shanchu was comforting 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 didn’t 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 Shanchu’s group.

The group had majorly screwed up during the rehearsal, which was an outcome the members wanted.

“Yeah. We’re unlike you; you’re physically disabled, but you’re still determined,” Lin Shanchu replied indifferently.

Xia Jinmeng was stunned.

For a moment, she could not tell if Lin Shanchu was complimenting 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, she’s complimenting me?” Xia Jinmeng was confused.

Yun Wu was speechless. She suspected that Xia Jinmeng’s 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 Youyun’s team was next to them.

An Youyun turned around and looked at Lin Shanchu with a smile. “Big Sister, don’t be angry with them. They made mistakes because they were too nervous. Besides, you’re so popular. Even if the performance goes badly, you’ll still be able to secure a slot in the debut list.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shanchu’s groupmates all looked over.

All of her groupmates were on the elimination list.

An Youyun’s words seemed to be comforting on the surface, but in reality, she was drawing hatred to Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu glanced at An Youyun coldly. “What makes you think that I’m angry?

An Youyun didn’t 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 didn’t smile…”

“Should I smile even after this group rehearsed badly? It’s not like I’m…

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 couldn’t 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, you’re angry, right?”

“What does it have to do with you?” Lin Shanchu asked.

“I’m just concerned about you…” An Youyun explained. Lin Shanchu shut her down. “Mind your own business.”

An Youyun was speechless.

She looked sweet and was always smiling, making her very popular among the members.

When An Youyun’s groupmates saw that she had been rebuked by Lin Shanchu, they all gathered around her to comfort her in low voices.

Only Xia Jinmeng, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but laugh.

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 Youyun’s group was stronger than Xia Jinmeng’s 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, “Let’s go out on a walk..”










Chapter 96: Deal With It On Your Own

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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 artificial lake.

Lin Shanchu brought her groupmates to the pavilion next to the artificial lake.

She looked at the specks of lights in the distance before slowly saying, “We’ve been busy with training during this period of time. This is the first time we’ve sat down to rest peacefully.”

After a brief silence.

Groupmate A raised her head and exclaimed, “I don’t 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 don’t know how to face them once I get back.”

Groupmate B agreed. “Me too. I just feel sorry for my parents. I’m 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 relatives 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 it’s too hard to enter the entertainment industry. When I wanted to join the show, they were against it…”

Groupmates A, B, and C comforted her. “Your situation is quite miserable. At least our parents support us…”

“I’m 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 couldn’t be compared.

“But you have a fiancé,” said groupmate A.

“You’ll be the wife of the CEO of the Lu Corporation,” groupmate B added. Groupmate C nodded. “That’s right. What’s there for you to be sad about?” Lin Shanchu’s tone was still very calm. “Do you think Lu Shiyuan loves me?”

The groupmates thought about the love-hate relationship between Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidai.

In the years before this, Lin Shanchu, also known as Lu Shiyuan’s official fiancée, was like an outsider compared to Tang Qidai.

Her groupmates fell silent.

Lin Shanchu was really pitiful.

Her parents were dead, and her fiancé didn’t 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. “That’s 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 you’re already on the elimination list, why not fight with your back against the cliff without any distractions? If you’re lucky enough to advance, that means the audience recognizes your ability. If you fail, your parents will still be proud of you, right?”

Lin Shanchu laughed in a low voice. The disappointment was apparent in her laughter. “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 melancholy 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, don’t be sad. You still have us. Waaaa…” Lin Shanchu’s groupmates also comforted her as well.

“That’s right. Let’s 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 audience’s approval, right?”

“Let’s work hard together…”

Lin Shanchu’s groupmates began to comfort 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 didn’t 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 else’s roof. She didn’t have to go through Lu Shiyuan’s torture, and she didn’t have to go through everything that was happening to her. She really envied her groupmates.

“Let’s drop the topic. It’s time to eat.”

Lin Shanchu’s groupmates, who had been in low spirits when they first went out to the garden, were all talking and laughing 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.

“Let’s eat first. We’ll talk later.” Lin Shanchu said a few words to Yun Wu before heading off to eat with her groupmates.

Yun Wu saw that Lin Shanchu’s groupmates were all talking and laughing. They seemed to be in good spirits, so she was slightly relieved.

Yun Wu’s groupmates watched Lin Shanchu and the others leave before they started whispering to each other.

“Lin Shanchu’s group should be fine tomorrow, right?”

“Although there was a problem during the rehearsal, there’s a chance they could perform exceptionally well during the official performance.”

Ads by Pubfuture

“Then again, ‘Death of the Universe’ is quite difficult…”

They knew of the relationship Yun Wu shared with Lin Shanchu, so they didn’t dare to be straightforward with their speculations.

Initially, everyone was curious about Lin Shanchu’s 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 Shanchu’s groupmates gave her some food each, resulting in the food of her plate resembling a small mountain. Lin Shanchu began to reflect on herself.

Was she too good at acting pitiful?

“I haven’t 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.

Everyone’s mentality had changed.

After their condition improved, their cooperation became more tacit. Wen Tongtong, who hadn’t spoken much, commented excitedly, “I feel better than before!”

“I danced instinctively…” Ning Yunxi was so excited that she wanted to cry again.

“Don’t 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.

“1…1 can’t control myself.”

Groupmates A, B, and C sighed. “Forget it. As long as you dance well tomorrow and don’t 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 become the group’s favorite by acting pitiful? Lin Shanchu looked at the time. “It’s nine o’clock. Time for bed.”

“But it’s only nine o’clock!” Everyone else protested.

Lin Shanchu smiled. “You’ve all practiced very well. Keep this up and rest early. You’ll be in your best form for the showdown tomorrow..”

Chapter 97: Arch-Nemesis

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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 Shanchu’s 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 planning to give up on themselves? It’s better to practice for a while than not practicing at all, right?”

“Didn’t you see how her groupmates were giving her the cold shoulder during the rehearsal today? If her groupmates aren’t willing to cooperate, tomorrow’s official performance will probably be…”

“If they were to dance like this tomorrow, they’d 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 couldn’t get rid of Lin Shanchu. However, she didn’t expect Lin Shanchu to go down the path of destruction on her own.

Her group’s rehearsal went very poorly earlier that day, and yet Lin Shanchu slacked 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 plan.

The results of Lin Shanchu’s 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, she’d 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 was coming her way.

She couldn’t let anyone know about her secret exchanges with Tang Qidai.

As Tang Qidai’s loyal lackey, Jiang Ziyu was just as happy as the last time to help her call Tang Qidai.

After all, he did not dare to call Tang Qidai on his own accord.

Tang Qidai knew that Xia Jinmeng was looking for her again the moment she saw the caller ID.

The incident last time had blown up so much that she hadn’t 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? Don’t you know that Brother Shiyuan was also involved in the previous incident?”

Xia Jinmeng was frustrated when her previous plan had failed.

However, she still wanted to continue working with Tang Qidai to deal with Lin Shanchu, so she could only swallow her anger.

“It’s different this time. We had a rehearsal tonight, didn’t we? Lin Shanchu’s group had completely 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 don’t 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 Shanchu’s group performed badly. The director was so angry that he didn’t even eat dinner.”

“It’s only the first public showdown, and yet Lin Shanchu’s going to be destroyed. As expected, nothing can help her out in life.” Tang Qidai knew that Jiang Ziyu would not lie to her.


Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes
INSULUX
Lin Shanchu was trash!

It was true that Lin Shanchu met Lu Shiyuan before Tang Qidai.

Lin Shanchu’s 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 to completely 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!] [You’re up so early! You’ve been working very hard!]

[Why isn’t Lin Shanchu there?]

[Does anyone know how Lin Shanchu’s “Death of the Universe” rehearsal went?]

[I heard rumors claiming that the group performed poorly during the rehearsal of “Death of the Universe”!]

[That’s a hoax, right? I saw many people spamming on the show’s official thread, saying that the rehearsal went super well…]

The director was so worried about the rehearsal yesterday that he didn’t 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 the commenters 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 director’s head, which was getting balder, for two seconds before asking, “What is it?”

“I heard that your group didn’t practice much last 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.”

Ads by Pubfuture

The director only knew how to set her up just to reap the ratings.

Now, he was finally afraid of the consequences!

The director’s face fell. “Then… what should we do?”

Lin Shanchu replied, “Nothing.”

The director was speechless.

Lin Shanchu looked at the director’s head again. “Relax, or else your hair will fall out even more. I’m 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 Shanchu’s “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 Shanchu’s rehearsal for “Death of the Universe” was.

[Rumor has it that Lin Shanchu’s performance rehearsal for “Death of the

Universe” was very explosive. I’m looking forward to it…]

Following that, the netizens started discussing more.

[The production crew must have boosted this trending topic. In a way, this means Lin Shanchu’s “Death of the Universe” performance must be decent.]

[Now that you mention it, I’m 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? I’ll go to the live broadcast room to reserve a spot…]

Everyone in the production crew knew about Lin Shanchu’s rehearsal yesterday. They were definitely not the ones boosting the popularity of the topic.

That meant Lin Shanchu’s arch-nemesis could be the only one behind the trending topic!

They deliberately raised the audience’s expectations of Lin Shanchu’s performance. If the official performance did not meet the audience’s expectations, Lin Shanchu would be criticized heavily.

Even the popularity that she had painstakingly accumulated during this period of time would probably return to its former state.

The director’s entire body went numb.

He really didn’t 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, “You’re calling me because of Lin Shanchu again, right?”

Nan Mu had already concluded that 99% of the director’s calls were related to Lin Shanchu..








Chapter 98: Outrageous

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The director sighed in return. “Someone bought Lin Shanchu her way onto the trending list…”

“Oh, that? I know. Don’t worry about it.” Nan Mu had long discovered that someone had pushed Lin Shanchu onto the trending list.

“But Lin Shanchu’s rehearsal yesterday…”

Nan Mu interrupted him. “Don’t worry. Lin Shanchu will definitely be fine. Besides, it’s a good thing that she got on the trending list thanks to others’ efforts.”

At two o’clock 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, comments 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.

“Let’s welcome our guest of honor, Tang Qidai!” The camera panned to Tang Qidai’s face. The commenters were confused.

[Huh?]

[I have so many questions right now.] [Is the pretentious lady 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 explain the rules of the competition.

“There are a total of 15 groups of members participating in this competition. 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 popular 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 Wu’s group was the first group to go onstage.

The production crew was very satisfied with this result.

Everyone had witnessed Yun Wu’s 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.

The commenters started discussing.

[The girl in the central position is so awesome. She’s obviously much stronger than her groupmates!]

[That’s Yun Wu, the sixth place of the previous episode!]

[Boss Yun will never let us down.]

Yun Wu’s group finished their performance.

The host announced that the audience could start voting.


Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes
INSULUX
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 Yu commented.

He paused for a moment.

The commenters 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.

The commenters went wild.

[That action of raising her brow is somehow arrogant. Haha!]

[Yun Wu’s sweet side will only be unlocked in front of Lin Shanchu.]

[I’ll translate 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 isn’t my strong suit, but I think Yun Wu’s group performance is overall an enjoyable experience for the audience. All of you have made great progress.”

The commenters were all laughing.

[Hahaha! He claims that dancing is not his strong suit, but his comment is longer than the professional dancer!]

The votes for Yun Wu’s group would be announced after the second group.

The second group was Xia Jinmeng’s 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. Mengmeng’s foot must be in pain.]

[Mengmeng’s life is really too difficult. She finally had the chance to participate in a talent show, but she accidentally fell and injured herself.]

[She’s still practicing even though she’s 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!]

[Let’s vote for Mengmeng first!]

Xia Jinmeng’s 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 wasn’t as explosive as Yun Wu’s group performance.

After the performance ended, the audience applauded in unison, but they were not as enthusiastic as the applause they had given to Yun Wu’s group.

After the audience voted, it was time for the mentors to give their comments. The camera only cut to Qin Shuya and Xu An.

Bai Yu didn’t say anything.

The commenters started speculating.

[What about Bai Yu? I want to listen to his comments!]

[The production crew must have stopped him from saying anything!]

Ads by Pubfuture

[Xia Jinmeng must have major connections to the production crew. I can relate to her not being able to dance well due to her foot injury, but she can’t even sing well. Yet, the production crew is still protective of her.]

Xia Jinmeng’s fans immediately retorted on the comment section.

[It’s already not easy for Mengmeng to continue performing in this state. Can’t you be more compassionate?]

[Isn’t it because certain people’s fans are afraid of Mengmeng snatching their idols’ spots? That’s why they hate Mengmeng without a reason!]

Xia Jinmeng was in second place last week, while Lin Shanchu was first.

The position she could fight for was naturally the first place.

Lin Shanchu’s 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 keep coming 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 Jinmeng’s fans felt a little guilty, so they quickly changed the topic.

[Focus on your own idols. At least our idol’s performance is perfect and flawless.]

[As for the one that got on the trending list, I hope they won’t make any mistakes during their performance.]

The host then went on stage. “Next, we’ll be announcing the votes for the two groups. Please look at the big screen.”

The screen displayed the individual members’ vote count.

With the exception of Yun Wu and Xia Jinmeng, the votes of the other members had been displayed.

The average votes for Yun Wu’s group were higher.

“Jinmeng, how many votes do you think you’ll have?” Yu Weixin asked Xia Jinmeng.

“I’m actually not too satisfied with my performance. I don’t think I’ll 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.

The commenters went crazy.

[Boss Yun’s personality is really amazing. She’s so capable and often speaks bluntly!]

Yu Weixin said while maintaining his professional smile, “Let’s reveal the final vote count.”

“Congratulations, 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 congratulate Xia Jinmeng for becoming the second most-voted individual member, second only to Yun Wu.”

“Thank you, everyone.” Yun Wu bowed.

The smile on Xia Jinmeng’s 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 Wu’s group.

She had always been pampered by her fans. Last time, she lost to Lin Shanchu, and this time, she couldn’t even win against Yun Wu.

Her mentality had collapsed.

Naturally, the smile on her face could not be maintained..








Chapter 99: You’re Super Awesome

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing that Xia Jinmeng’s expression had changed, her fans started to comfort her again.

[Mengmeng, don’t be sad. Try harder next time.]

[Mengmeng is very strong. It’s just that her injury has affected her performance. She will definitely perform better next time.]

[All the best, Mengmeng. You’re 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 Shanchu’s performance.

The free-flowing audience didn’t do things such as becoming fans of other celebrities.

As soon as they saw Xia Jinmeng’s 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 Jinmeng’s expression changed so quickly that it’s so funny!]

[The fans in the comment section are starting to boast about Xia Jinmeng’s 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 don’t understand. She’s the type that dotes on her fans. Only her fans know how strong she is.]

[Hahahaha! I’m going to die from laughter! Seriously!]

The actual audience group was way bigger than Xia Jinmeng’s group of fans. Soon, Xia Jinmeng’s fans’ comments were lost in the comment 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.

The comment section was filled with spam comments.

[Shanshan, am I awesome?] filled the entire screen.

[It’s true that Boss Yun is only sweet and cuddly in front of Lin Shanchu.]

[She’s super cute!]

[Tell her she’s 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 didn’t forget to take a three-second shot of Lin Shanchu and Yun wu.

Lin Shanchu smiled while looking at Yun Wu. ‘You’re super awesome.”

Yun Wu hugged Lin Shanchu’s arm and rubbed against her happily. Then, she remembered that the latter had to perform on stage later, so she quickly helped her to tidy up.

The commenters went ballistic.

[They’re killing me!]

[She sounds so doting! Ahhh! I’m dead!]

[Please, I’m begging you! Sacrifice me so that they can celebrate their relationship!]

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?” “She’s here to see me.” Lin Shanchu smiled.

“Huh?”

When Tang Qidai came to visit Lin Shanchu at the production crew, Lin Shanchu’s 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 she’s 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 didn’t fail in their performances at all.

However, seeing as Yun Wu the expert had already performed first, the members that came after her couldn’t 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 place. She could not accept 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.

[It’s Lin Shanchu’s group’s turn now, right?]

[Did Lin Shanchu withdraw from the competition?]

[The production crew deliberately arranged for Lin Shanchu to be at the back just to bait us!]

[I don’t want to be baited, but Lin Shanchu’s “Death of the Universe” performance is too enticing…]

Under everyone’s anticipation, the host announced the next performance.

“Let’s welcome the group members who’ll be performing ‘I Like You the Most’ with a round of applause…”

“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.

The commenters were happy.

[Our sweet An’an is finally performing!]

[Why is it this style again? Is An Youyun only capable of performing this style? I’m starting to get sick of it.]

Ads by Pubfuture

[If you’re 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 popular 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 his comment for An Youyun, who took up the central position, he only gave a simple comment .”Both your persona and the song are very sweet, but there’s still room for improvement in your singing. All the best!”

He passed the microphone to Bai Yu.

The director’s pleading voice came through the earpiece. “Mr. Bai, please give a few more comments. Also, please use gentler words.”

“I Like You the Most” was a song that focused more on the singer’s vocals.

Xu An was a professional singer, but he didn’t comment much.

The director also knew the reason. It was because An Youyun’s style was too monotonous, so there was nothing much to comment 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 flashed across his face. His gaze swept across the members on the stage. In the end, he only slowly said two words, “Good luck.”

The director’s crew was speechless.

Bai Yu probably only heard the word “gentle”.

Then, he handed the microphone to Qin Shuya.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to comment 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 more comments, he’d start criticizing the members instead.

However, Bai Yu was still someone who followed the basic principles. The words “good luck” was the biggest compromise he could make with the production crew as long as he didn’t go against his heart

Qin Shuya also heard the production crew’s request for her to make more comments through her earpiece.

As a female mentor, she was more meticulous and could come up with more compliments 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.” The commenters were debating Qin Shuya’s comments.

[Ms. Qin likes An’an a lot! She keeps praising her!]

[Can you pay more attention to what Ms. Qin said? All she did was compliment An Youyun’s cute looks, beautiful costumes, and suitable makeup.. Did she compliment her singing and dancing?]







Chapter 100: What Happened to Easing the Atmosphere?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“To the members of ‘I Like You the Most’ , please take a break backstage. Next, let’s invite the last group of members…”

The audience members below the stage shouted the name of the song Lin Shanchu’s group would be performing.

“It’s ‘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 the last song. It’s the group who will be performing ‘Death of the Universe’! ” There was a burst of cheers from the audience. The commenters were very excited. [She’s here! She’s finally here!]

[I almost fell asleep from all the waiting!]

[Let’s see how Lin Shanchu screws up!]

[I came from the trending list. Rumor has it that “Death of the Universe” had an explosive rehearsal. Let’s see how explosive it actually is. :funny_emoji:]

[Hey, everyone. Next, we’ll watch the live broadcast of a celebrity majorly screwing up a performance onstage…]

Lin Shanchu’s 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 Shanchu’s 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 of comments 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 popularity 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 Shanchu’s 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 man’s 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 Xunzhou’s 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 Shanchu’s face.

The camera locked onto Tang Qidai.

The smile on Tang Qidai’s face was the same as Lin Shanchu’s.

The commenters were confused.

[Am I imagining things? Why do I feel that Tang Qidai looks a little like Lin Shanchu?]

[How are they similar? Their facial features don’t look the same at all.]


Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes
INSULUX
[It’s not the facial features. It’s the overall demeanor and behavior that gave people a similar 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 glance.

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 nonchalant, the contrast between her and Lin Shanchu would become more obvious.

At that time, the netizens would definitely scold Lin Shanchu to death.

There was no trace of anger on Tang Qidai’s 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 wasn’t for the fact that you couldn’t get any jobs, why would you come to this show as a supporting guest?”

Tang Qidai was speechless.

F*ck!

How was she supposed to respond to this?

The commenters were laughing.

[Lin Shanchu asked the question that I’ve been meaning to ask the whole time.]

[Tang Qidai’s face has darkened so much. Is she really unable to receive any more gigs?]

[Hahaha! I knew I’d be able to watch a good show! Lin Shanchu didn’t let me down, as expected!]

[This is the first time I’ve seen the mistress itching to get her ass whooped by the legal wife!]

[I’m 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 Qidai’s fans started to defend her.

[Daidai isn’t pretending at all. They are good friends, to begin with.]

[Tang Qidai was kind enough to come and cheer for Lin Shanchu, but she ended up getting scolded. You haters are heartless!]

[A person like Lin Shanchu really doesn’t deserve Tang Qidai’s love and affection!]

[It’s 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 the comments were already in an uproar.

The director was the happiest.

Lin Shanchu was definitely the best!

The key element of popularity would always be his goddess!

Tang Qidai felt a little better when she thought about how Lin Shanchu’s next performance would definitely fail.

She quickly adjusted her emotions. “It’s your first time performing on stage. Of course, I have to come 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 be later!

Lin Shanchu laughed 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 snancnu on welD0, let alone canvassing ror votes for Lin Shanchu.

Tang Qidai’s flustered expression could be clearly seen on the camera.

The audience in the live broadcasting room collectively revealed their sardonic sides.

A large wave of comments that repeated [We are good friends.] occupied the screen.

[Although I didn’t know that she was allergic to mangoes and I didn’t help canvass votes for her, we are still good friends. ]

[Since we’re 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 popular 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 claims to be a good friend, did not post anything on Weibo to get votes for Lin Shanchu.” The director’s crew was speechless.

What happened to easing the atmosphere?

The audience booed loudly from their seats.

The commenters were all laughing.

[That was a public execution! Hahaha!]

[He’s so mean, but I love him so much!]

[Huo Xunzhou is so charming even when he’s trying to undermine others!]

[Hot tip: Lin Shanchu is the daughter of Huo Xunzhou’s 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..”
