Chapter 201: You Will Retire From the Entertainment Industry And Then We Will Hold a Wedding

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He Xiang was shocked by Lin Shanchu’s words. “What do you mean by it’s not considered a solution?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Shanchu’s phone rang.

Lin Shanchu gestured with her finger to shushHe Xiang before picking up the phone.

“Didn’t 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 haven’t 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 Shanchu’s exclusive interview yesterday.

Lin Shanchu had defeated Tang Qidai a few times before. In addition to Lin Shanchu’s 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 popularity of the exclusive interview to garner support from the netizens.

Lin Shanchu did not show any response, as if she was as good as dead.

Qiao Jiaxi was jealous of Tang Qidai, so she couldn’t 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. We’ve 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 Qidai’s face at the company on that day.

“What do you mean?” Qiao Jiaxi shrieked. “Are you planning to endure it just like this? Are you alright?

“You’re just going to let Tang Qidai ride roughshod over you like this? She’s going to trample over you to get to the top! Do you think you can swallow your pride?”

Lin Shanchu’s voice sounded a little depressed. “That’s her ability, right?” “You…” Qiao Jiaxi still refused to give up. “Come out, we’ll 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, “Haven’t you seen how those netizens condemning you? And yet, you still have the mood to meet someone else?”

“Although I’m 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 popularity in the industry, wouldn’t that also be considered her ability?

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shanchu held the phone in her hands and played 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.

“He’ll call me to ask me out soon,” Lin Shanchu said in a firm tone and curled her lips.

Now that the netizens 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, I’m willing to step in and helD vou clean vour name if necessarv. After all. I’m the root cause of this

incident.”

“It’s not time for you to show yourself yet.” Just as Lin Shanchu’s voice fell, her phone rang.

Lu Shiyuan called her.

Lin Shanchu picked up the phone and put him on speaker.

Lu Shiyuan’s voice came from the phone.

“Come out and meet me. I’ll 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 Shiyuan’s personality.

He was always high and mighty.

He was so conceited that he thought that everything was under his control.

“Sister Lin, you’re 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 Shanchu’s 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 black.

Thinking of this, Lu Shiyuan felt relaxed.

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 Shanchu’s rude actions, but she had already sat down.

Lin Shanch sat in a comfortable posture and lazily leaned back in the chair with a hint of impatience, ignoring her image. “Tell me, what is it?”

In Lu Shiyuan’s 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 become the same as before.

Lu Shiyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and turned around to sit down.

“You don’t have to pretend to be calm in front of me. I’m the only one who can help you now.” Lu Shiyuan’s eyes revealed a hint of pride.

“Help me?” Lin Shanchu laughed as if she had heard a hilarious joke.

Lu Shiyuan’s face darkened as he said generously, “Lin Shanchu, I’m giving you the last chance. As long as you’re willing to admit your mistake, I’ll help you! After the matter is settled, you will retire from the entertainment industry and then we will hold a wedding..”








Chapter 202: Reveal the Truth

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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 her laughter, such that she could not even straighten her back.

She rested her head on the dining table for a while before she managed to suppress laughter.

Lu Shiyuan’s voice was filled with anger. “What are you laughing at?”

Instead of answering him, Lin Shanchu asked, “How are you going to help me?”

Lu Shiyuan thought that Lin Shanchu had finally accepted reality and was ready to give in, so his tone softened a little.

“You don’t 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 relationship.”

Lin Shanchu completely 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.

“You’re 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 aren’t the one to decide it.”

He had ordered someone to take care of the surveillance cameras and employees in the company.

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, you’ve been condoning everything that Tang Qi has done to me. You’re well aware, aren’t you?”

A trace of guilt flashed across Lu Shiyuan’s 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 I’ve indulged Qidai a little, but you’ve always been my fiancée.

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 occassions.

“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 wouldn’t 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. “I’m 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 Jiaxi’s homepage.

Qiao Jiaxi’s latest Weibo post was posted a minute ago, containing texts and a video:

[I didn’t want to expose this video at first because President Lin said that she disagreed to reveal the truth and cherished the old relationship. However, a person has to be conscientious. Back then, President Lin gave me this opportunity to sign me with Lu Corporation. I’m very grateful to her. I can’t 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 Qidai’s.

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 blame on Qiao Jiaxi. Instead, she would pin the blame on Lin Shanchu.

Qiao Jiaxi had become a good person and gained some reputation, riding another wave of popularity.

She was completely following in Tang Qidai’s footsteps.

She was pretty good.

Lin Shanchu put away her phone and looked up with a smile.

“Lu Shiyuan, you don’t 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! Explain 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 Shanchu’s little action at all. He went forward and grabbed her.

“Explain yourself!”

Lin Shanchu’s 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.

“I’ve already promised you that I won’t release the video. What else do you want?”

Lin Shanchu looked at Lu Shiyuan with tears in her eyes.

“What?” Lin Shanchu’s 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 since last 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 clarification?”

“Qiao Jiaxi said that you didn’t agree to reveal the truth because you care about your old relationship, is that true?”

“You’ve had the full video in your hands, but you never responded out loud. Is it because you’re still concerned about your old relationship 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, that’s enough! This is the last time I’ll condone Tang Qidai!” Tears rolled down Lin Shanchu’s 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: For a Long Time, I’ve Treated Tang Qjdai as a Precious Person in My Life

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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 doesn’t accept 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.

“She’s 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 Shanchu’s assistant?”

“Why did Tang Qidai hit you?”

“Do you know why Lin Shanchu didn’t 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 plan.” 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 Shanchu’s plan, from the exclusive interview to the point where the netizens 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.

He completely let his guard after Tang Qidai had won the sympathy and support of the netizens by playing 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 the netizens 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 Shanchu’s 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 everyone’s heart.

“What’s done is done…” Lin Shanchu sniffed and her weeping voice was filled with disappointment. “You’d 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 Shanchu’s 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 Shiyuan’s gaze followed her.

She straightened her back and walked calmly.

It was the stance of a victor.

“President Lu, let’s 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 Shiyuan’s 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.

Don’t 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 a comforting 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 Shanchu’s 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 of comments, 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.

“I’ve known Tang Qidai since we were young. She and my fiancé, Lu Shiyuan, are very close. Many things have happened among the three of us…” “It’s not a secret. Everyone knows, right?” Lin Shanchu laughed at herself.

Everyone knew about these things.

However, it was Lin Shanchu’s first time telling the reporters about the relationship 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 fiancé are close, I haven’t overthink it. For a long time, I’ve treated Tang Qidai as a precious person in my life…” Tears welled up in Lin Shanchu’s eyes as she tried her best to suppress her sobs. Her voice trembled slightly. “…I don’t 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 the commotion when he arrived at the scene.

He was stunned for two seconds before he strode forward to separate her from the reporters.

“I’m sorry, Shanshan isn’t 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: The Biggest Stain in Lin Shanchu’s Life

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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 Shanchu’s dispiritedness.

He Xiang, who was next to her, obviously felt the same as him. She had noticed the abnormality in Lin Shanchu’s 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 Shanchu’s eyes were still red-rimmed, but she looked calm without a trace of sorrow.

He xrang noaaea DlanKIY. “1 co.”

Lin Shanchu stretched out her hand. “Show me quickly. My makeup must have come off.”

She looked so sad just a moment ago, but now, she seemed to be fine and was concerned about her makeup.

“I’ve 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 moment later, she said satisfiedly, “Fortunately, today’s makeup is waterproof.”

As Lin Shanchu cared about herself, she said, “However, my makeup has come off a bit. Give me some powder and I’ll 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, you’ve worked hard today.”

“No. I didn’t work hard.’

Qi Cheng raised his eyebrows and snorted. “Sister Rabbit, you’re so quick-witted. As your manager, I don’t have to worry about anything in the future. There’s nothing to work on. I couldn’t 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, “I’ll try to tell you in advance if something like this happens again.”

“There’s a next time?” Qi Cheng was furious.

Lin Shanchu smiled and said nothing.

Qi Cheng sighed. “I’m not blaming you. The key point is that you even set Lu Shiyuan up. If anything had gone wrong in the process, you’d have lost the entire game.”

He thought that Lin Shanchu’s original plan was to take Tang Qidai down.

To his surprise, Lin Shanchu wanted to take down both Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan.

“It won’t 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 Shanchu’s expectations.

The only thing Lin Shanchu did not expect was the way Qiao Jiaxi exposed the video.

It was too brilliant.

Qiao Jiaxi’s Weibo mentioning the four words “cherished the old relationship” had inadvertently allowed Lin Shanchu to gain the upper hand.

It was the best weapon to ruin Tang Qidai, who brought up nostalgia and played the sympathy card.

It was very handy.

Qi Cheng’s 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 Internet have changed completely. Unless something unexpected happens, Tang Qidai will be completely doomed this time…”

Qi Cheng paused slightly after saying that.

He glanced at Lin Shanchu through the rearview mirror before he continued.

“As for Lu Shiyuan, he won’t be taken down so easily.”

After he finished speaking, he paid attention to Lin Shanchu’s 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 Shiyuan’s position was still unshakable in the entertainment industry of Xu City. He could not be completely overthrown so easily.

Although there were netizens scolding Lu Shiyuan, it was only temporary.

Ads by Pubfuture

Lu Shiyuan only needed some public relations 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 outcome.

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 Qidai’s Weibo page.

She clicked open the comments and saw all of them were condemning Tang Qidai.

[She’s so disgusting that I’m about to throw up last night’s meal!]

[I’ve 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 Shanchu’s life.]

[Lin Shanchu treated you as a friend. For old times ‘sake, she didn’t expose the full video. Not only were you ungrateful, but you even slandered Lin Shanchu.

Are you even human?]

[No one would do such a thing.]

[I’ve been your fan and I’ve stood up for you before. There’s 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 the netizens? B*tch!] The netizens hated Tang Qidai as much as they had sympathized with her before.

If the full video had been released from the beginning, the netizens would have condemned Tang Qidai and Lin Shanchu equally without taking sides so easily.

Tang Qidai would only lose some of her popularity, but she could still continue to survive in the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, Tang Qidai was too greedy and impatient.

Tang Qidai’s Weibo post did not leave any room for retreat.

The video Qiao Jiaxi had published completely cut off all of Tang Qidai’s escape routes.

Tang Qidai had slandered Lin Shanchu under the pretense of being loyal and righteous and trampled her to get to the top, causing her to be condemned by the netizens.

Compared to Lin Shanchu, who cared for their past relationship and remained silent despite being condemned, Tang Qidai’s behavior was simply vicious.

The evidence was irrefutable this time.

Any reason or excuse seemed useless..








Fitness Fun in the Park0:01 / 1:07
Chapter 205: Who Are You Without Lu Shiyuan?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Qidai gripped her phone tightly as she stared at the screen displaying the Weibo post that Qiao Jiaxi had posted.

“Qiao Jiaxi! I will definitely kill you!

“How dare you ruin my plans! I’ll 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 Qidai’s 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.

“Didn’t 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 light coming in from the corner, the room was still dark.

Kong Suyi could not see Tang Qidai’s expression clearly, but she could sense the abnormality in her tone.

Tang Qidai’s voice was inexplicably terrifying.

“I didn’t expect Qiao Jiaxi would go to the company on that day. She was supposed to attend an event on that day…”

Kong Suyi softened her tone and comforted Tang Qidai. “Daidai, take it easy. This matter hasn’t 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 Qidai’s 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.

“Hasn’t 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 Qidai’s 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 slammed her head against the wall.

“How can it be the same this time?”

“I called Brother Shiyuan so many times, but he didn’t pick up the phone!

“It’s all your fault. If you had kept an eye on Qiao Jiaxi properly, things wouldn’t have turned out like this!

“Did you not see how those netizens 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 blame me? You were the one who insisted on editing the video and posting it online! Didn’t I persuade you back then?”

The reason she supported Tang Qidai was because Tang Qidai had Lu Shiyuan’s support.

Now that Lu Shiyuan did not even answer Tang Qidai’s calls, she dropped the pretence.

Tang Qidai sneered. “How dare you talk to me like that? Do you have a death wish?”

Kong Suyi combed her messy hair and said mockingly, “You’ve 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 Internet.

The topic of condemning Lu Shiyuan was not low in popularity, 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! I’m 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, I’ll give you one last piece of advice for the sake of many years we’ve worked together. Leave the country as soon as possible. You’ve offended too many people! If Lu Shiyuan doesn’t protect you, you might not know how you’d die.

“Also, you’d better not provoke me! I know all the ‘good deeds’ you’ve 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 Qidai’s 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 Shiyuan’s favorite gentle tone when she answered the call.

However, the smile on Tang Qidai’s 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.

“I’m doing this for your own good. I’ve booked the plane ticket for you. You’re 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 abroad later.”

“Understood.” Zhou Yan replied respectfully.

“How’s the situation online?” Lu Shiyuan asked.

Zhou Yan said in a deep voice, “The public relations 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 Shiyuan’s voice deepened.. “I don’t want them to try their best! I want them to clear my name completely!”

Chapter 206: A Limited Edition Luxury Car

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The netizens were still angry after condemning Tang Qidai on her Weibo. They even teamed up and went to her fan page.

Tang Qidai’s fan page was quickly bombarded.

Some fans still spoke up for Tang Qidai in the fan page, but their comments were quickly overwhelmed.

After that, some netizens started digging up Tang Qidai’s dark past.

All the dark pasts that Lu Shiyuan had spent a high price to conceal were dug out.

For a moment, the Internet was flooded with comments 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.

“We’ve arrived.”

Lin Shanchu looked out of the window with a blank 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 vigilant 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. “It’s 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 glanced at Lin Shanchu’s phone screen.

He did not see it clearly, but he vaguely saw Tang Qidai’s 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.

“It’s the stage where everyone will kick Tang Qidai when she is down and begin to dig up her dark pasts. I don’t know if it’s because the netizens are too powerful or for some other reason, but it’s too easy to dig up Tang Qidai’s dark pasts…”

After Lin Shanchu said that, she raised her head.

She suddenly stopped talking when her gaze inadvertently swept over a certain spot.

“What’s wrong?” Qi Cheng followed her gaze and saw a black car.

Qi Cheng took a closer look and realized that it was a limited edition luxury car.


Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes
INSULUX
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 standard compared 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 aren’t 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 can’t remember who it was.”

He Xiang, who had been silent, suddenly said softly, “Best Actor Huo.”

“Yes!” Qi Cheng nodded repeatedly as he said, “That’s right, it’s Teacher Huo

Xunzhou.”

Lin Shanchu replied indifferently, “Oh.”

“This can’t be Mr. Huo’s car, right?” He Xiang’s tone carried a hint of anticipation.

“No way.” Qi Cheng immediately shook his head. “Teacher Huo doesn’t live here.”

“Jeez.” He Xiang sighed.

“Are you a fan of Teacher Huo?” Qi Cheng asked He Xiang.

“Of course. Who wouldn’t 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 plate.

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 the latest news online.

At this moment, a man’s 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.

Ads by Pubfuture

“Jeez, the screen is broken.” Huo Chaosheng bent down to pick up her phone.

Lin Shanchu took the phone and knocked it on Huo Chaosheng’s head. “You’re 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 Shanchu’s 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 Xunzhou’s gaze, she withdrew her hand awkwardly and asked, “What are you guys doing here?”

“Of course I’m here to care for you.” Huo Chaosheng leaned over again.

He stared at Lin Shanchu’s 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 aren’t von sad at all

now?”

Lin Shanchu caught the key word in his question. “Earlier?”

“Yes, I was going to accompany 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 accompany me to the scene to watch the drama…

As soon as Huo Chaosheng finished speaking, he twisted his words. “I’m not here to watch the drama. I’m just concerned about you. I rushed over purposely because I care about you.”

Lin Shanchu glanced at Huo Chaosheng with a fake smile.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask third brother.”

Huo Chaosheng pointed at Huo Xunzhou. “I was really worried that you wouldn’t 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 Chaosheng’s 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, “Let’s 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 pervert’s 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..








Winter Wonderland0:01 / 1:07
Chapter 207: why Else Would 1 Like You?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu stood by the door and crossed her arms as she looked at Huo

Xunzhou.

The two of them seemed to be competing, and neither of them took the initiative to speak.

Both of them were surprisingly patient.

Li MO seriously speculated 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. “Please come in.”

Li MO pushed Huo Xunzhou into the house.

He Xiang was coming 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 plate. 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 the last bunch of grapes in her hand and handed it to

Huo Xunzhou, who was sitting opposite her. “Do you want to eat them?”

Qi Cheng’s 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.

The netizens knew that Lin Shanchu was the daughter of Huo Xunzhou’s 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 Cheng’s observation, Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou did not have a deep relationship.

At least, it was not deep enough for them to eat the other party’s leftover grapes…

But how should he explain the current situation?

Qi Cheng suddenly remembered what Huo Chaosheng had said just now. “Best Actor Huo , you haven’t had dinner yet, right?” Huo Xunzhou must be too hungry.

“We haven’t eaten yet.”

Huo Chaosheng answered Qi Cheng.

After glancing at the grapes in Huo Xunzhou’s 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 plate 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…


Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes
INSULUX
However, he had never seen someone as arrogant as Lin Shanchu.

It was only her basic operation to not play by the rules.

He was worried that this lady 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 glared at Lin Shanchu. “Differential treatment!”

“It’s 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 relaxed.

He did not even bother to control his annoying little brother!

Since that was the case, she could not be blamed.

Lin Shanchu reached out and brushed the hair next to her ear. “Don’t 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 uncomfortable.

“Look at how you scared my Third Brother!” Huo Chaosheng looked like he was waiting for a good show.

Lin Shanchu glared at Huo Chaosheng.

After Huo Xunzhou calmed down, Lin Shanchu silently handed him a glass 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 one’s heart flutter.

“Thank you.”

He thanked her and reached out to take the glass 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 glass swayed and most of it was spilled.

Lin Shanchu’s 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.

Ads by Pubfuture
“It’s probably Nan Mu.”

Huo Xunzhou’s 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.

“I’ll open the door.” Lin Shanchu stood up and walked towards the door.

The person outside was indeed Nan Mu.

Beside him was an insulated delivery box that was half the height of a person.

It was custom-made by Yong Shui Pavilion, looking exquisite with the label of Yong Shui Pavilion printed on it.

Nan Mu placed 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 Shanchu’s 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.

“I’m fine.” Lin Shanchu pointed at the delivery box. “Why did you bring such a huge box alone? Why didn’t you ask someone to help you?”

Yong Shui Pavilion offered delivery services to certain specific members.

“Xunzhou said that if someone else were to come over to deliver it, they might expose your address.” Speaking of this, Nan Mu’s 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 the company.”

“Alright.”

Tang Qidai’s 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 popularity 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. “It’s true that we can’t do anything about him for the time being.”

Lin Shanchu said softly, “It’s alright, there’s 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 similar to Huo Xunzhou.

They all held grudges.

“I’ll do it myself.” Lin Shanchu shook her head..








Urban Oasis0:02 / 1:07
Chapter 208: She Sounded as if She Was Not Close to Xunzhou

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the netizens 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 didn’t do anything wrong, yet the netizens condemned her.]

[So that’s 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 she’s trying to give Tang Qidai a chance.]

[Although Lin Shanchu is a little crazy, she’s always honest in everything she does. I even condemned her yesterday. I’m really sorry. I won’t take sides so easily in the future!]

[I watched Lin Shanchu’s 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.]

[Shouldn’t 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 didn’t say a word and watched Lin Shanchu being condemned!]

[Don’t mention his name. The hashtag #DisgustingManLuShiyuan# won’t be trending. Everyone knows that Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai have always been in cahoots. He’s 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 doesn’t have any acting opportunities and is constantly being condemned… It’s simply terrifying.]

[What’s even more terrifying is that Lin Shanchu’s 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, don’t compare them. Lu’s name doesn’t deserve to be on the same level as a certain Best Actor!]

[I put myself in Lin Shanchu’s shoes. My best friend who grew up together hooked up with my fiancé and joined forces to hurt me and suppress me. No one will help me. It’s 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 doesn’t breaks the law or harm people.]

This comment had been liked hundreds of thousands of times and was at the top.

Many media accounts 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 escalated 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 blame.

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.


Diabetes Is Not From Sweets! Meet The Main Enemy Of Diabetes

“If it was some sensational content like Qiao Jiaxi’s, 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 Shanchu’s voice. He pondered for a moment and said, “Take two days off.”

“You’re so generous?” Lin Shanchu was surprised.

Nan Mu had previously arranged such a long schedule for her. Now that her popularity had reached the next level, he wanted her to take a break.

“I’m a human being after all!” Nan Mu looked at her suspiciously. “Do you think I’m so heartless?”

Nan Mu did not know how much of Lin Shanchu’s 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 Mu’s anger disappeared instantly and his eyes gleamed. “Treat me to a meal then.”

“What do you want to eat?” Lin Shanchu asked.

“I’ll 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 didn’t mean anything else. I just think you cook delicious meals! I’ve 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, “I’ll call Xunzhou and the others.”

“Oh.”

“Do you understand?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Lin Shanchu nodded. “Yes, I understand. You’re afraid that Huo Chaosheng will think that I’m close to Huo Xunzhou. That’s 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.

“What’s 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 I’m close to Huo Xunzhou”?

She sounded as if she was not close to Xunzhou.

Lin Shanchu blinked. “It’s getting late. I’m 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, I’m going to visit my fiancé.” Lin Shanchu’s tone was light. People who did not know better would think that she and her fiancé were in a good relationship.

“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 hour later.

“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, I’ll drive you.””

Lin Shanchu replied, “Thank you, Brother Qi.”

The communication between them went smoothly. He Xiang still could not figure out the situation.

Qi Cheng explained kindly, “You didn’t think that Shanshan asked you to inform me about her departure without any ulterior motive, did you?”










Cuteness Unleashed0:03 / 1:07
Chapter 209: Be Good and I Will Give You Anything You Want

He Xiang’s tone sounded hesitant. “…Isn’t 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 that’s how it is.”

“Brother Qi, you’re so smart. I’ll 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 the company’s parking lot.

After the group entered the elevator, He Xiang exclaimed, “We really didn’t get discovered!”

“Yeah, who would have thought that with Lin Shanchu’s status, she would enter Lu Corporation in a second-hand car worth less than 80,000 yuan.” Qi Cheng crossed his arms and glanced at Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu replied seriously, “There’s nothing different about sitting in this car. It’s quite comfortable.”

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 workplace 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 she’s Lin Shanchu. This is the first time I’ve 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 Chu’s reply.

“I’m 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 Lu’s fiancée”.

If she had done nothing, people would still call her “Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée” whenever they mentioned her.

When one’s 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 him completely soon.

The workplace inspection was just a pretext. Lin Shanchu’s real intention was to put on the airs of “President Lin” and further weaken Lu Shiyuan’s influence in the company.

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 welcome her.

“President Lin, you’re here!”

“I’ll just look around. Get on with what you’re 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 would come to the company at any time to clock in.

After looking around, Lin Shanchu turned to the director and asked, “Where’s Jiaxl?

“She’s on her way here. We’re having a meeting today to discuss her work arrangements. ”

“Then I’ll 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, “I’m fine with anything.”

Qi Cheng replied, “I’ll have some tea.”

Lin Shanchu adopted Qi Cheng’s decision. “I’ll have some tea then.”

Qiao Jiaxi arrived as soon as the tea was brewed.

“President Lin.”

Qiao Jiaxi was wearing a ladylike lace dress with a good complexion, looking refreshing and pretty.

“With our relationship, why do you treat me like a stranger? Call me Sister.” Lin Shanchu stood up and gently pulled Qiao Jiaxi’s arm.

Qiao Jiaxi was stunned for a moment before she spoke tentatively, “Sister Lin?”

“Good girl.” Lin Shanchu gently stroked Qiao Jiaxi’s head, acting like an older sister.

Qiao Jiaxi rolled her eyes and glanced at Qi Cheng and He Xiang who were standing behind Lin Shanchu.

“Sister Lin, we haven’t 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 Jiaxi’s face disappeared instantly.

She pushed Lin Shanchu away and snorted, “You’re so proud of yourself now. Not only have you taken down Tang Qidai, but you also earned the sympathy of the netizens and gained so many fans.”

Qiao Xi had posted the Weibo post herself. She was jealous of Lin Shanchu’s popularity, 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.

“There’s 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 Jiaxi’s words.

‘You mean…You didn’t post that Weibo post?”

“There’s only the two of us here. Is there any point in playing 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.

“It’s 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 placed her hands on the armrests of the sofa, slightly bent over and stared at Qiao Jiaxi.

“I’ll ask questions, and you’ll 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..”

“Did you post that Weibo post for clarification?”

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 Shanchu’s curled her lip in admiration. “If you didn’t do, then who posted

At the mention of this, Qiao Jiaxi became angry. “Why are you still asking me?

Didn’t 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 account? If someone helped you, just tell me the truth.”

Qiao Jiaxi replied, ‘You got someone to steal my Weibo account 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 to communicate with Qiao Jiaxi.

“I didn’t steal your account.”

“You’re 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 account 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 glared at Lin Shanchu. “You didn’t want my video, and it turned out you were planning for this. You’re really insidious.”

Lin Shanchu slowly straightened her body and her voice turned colder. “You’re no better.”

Qiao Jiaxi was sensible enough not to continue this topic.

“Anyway, I’ve done you a big favor this time, so you have to help me too.” She raised her chin and looked confident.

“Tang Qidai’s 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 Qidai’s resources…”

“As you said, I wanted to snatch Tang Qidai’s resources. My goal isn’t the resources, but Tang Qidai.”

Lin Shanchu was telling the truth.

She did not lack resources.

She simply wanted to snatch Tang Qidai’s 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 accepted 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 popular than Tang Qidai. Can you do that?”

“As long as you go out with your brain every day, you’ll definitely be more popular 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 improved later.

Qiao Jia was lacking brainpower.

When she saw Qiao Jiaxi’s Weibo post, she thought that Qiao Jiaxi had finally become smarter.

Unfortunately, Qiao Jiaxi did not publish that Weibo post.

Qiao Jiaxi only focused on the latter half of Lin Shanchu’s words and asked in surprise, “Really?”

“Yes.” Lin Shanchu nodded sincerely.

A moment later, 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 Cheng’s 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 Shiyuan’s grimace got worse.

Glancing at Qiao Jiaxi in the room out of the corner of his eye, Lu Shiyuan suppressed his anger. “Why didn’t you look for me when you came to the company?”

Lin Shanchu acted as if she did not hear Lu Shiyuan’s words and turned to ask

Qiao Jiaxi, “Where were we just now?”

Lu Shiyuan’s 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, I’m 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 don’t respect others, why should I respect you or pay attention to you?”

Lin Shanchu met Lu Shiyuan’s gaze and refuse to give in.

Qiao Jiaxi hurriedly said, “It’s okay, we’re done talking.”

Hearing the ingratiating tone in Qiao Jiaxi’s voice, Lin Shanchu frowned and turned to look at Qiao Jiaxi.

Only then did she realize that Qiao Jiaxi’s 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 lead’s charm?

“I still have to walk around. I’ll come to you when I’m done.” Lin Shanchu leaned lazily 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.

The commotion on the Internet was not completely over, and his reputation had also been greatly affected.

Even though he had been pulling strings behind the scene, those netizens 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.

“I’ll wait for you in the office,” Lu Shiyuan said those words and slammed the door.

Qiao Jiaxi sat up straight with her eyes following Lu Shiyuan.

Once Lu Shiyuan’s figure had completely disappeared, she reluctantly averted her gaze.

She turned her head and met Lin Shanchu’s half-smiling eyes.

“I still have work to do later, so I’ll 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. Don’t 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 couldn’t 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. Don’t waste your energy.” Lin Shanchu knew very well how messy Qiao Jiaxi’s 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 Shiyuan’s cup of tea in any aspect.

Qiao Jiaxi’s 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.

“You’re afraid that Lu Shiyuan will fall in love with someone else and take a fancy to someone else.. You’re afraid that I’ll snatch him away, aren’t you?”
