Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening

Bewildered, Lin Shanchu asked, “Brother Qi, why are you lowering your expectations of me?”

Qi Cheng sighed. “I want to ask more of you… but the problem is, will you cooperate?”

Of course she would not.

She would never do something like humbling herself and thinking of the big picture again in her life.

Lin Shanchu smiled and pretended that she had not said anything just now. “I’ll go over there.”

When Lin Shanchu arrived at the interview area, the reporters were obviously enthusiastic with sparkling eyes.

A reporter asked, “Lin Shanchu! Are you wearing a wig today?”

“No, I dyed it.” It seemed that the reporters in Capital City were quite concerned about her and even noticed her hair color.

Another reporter asked, “Why are you wearing a qipao today? Is it because there’s clothing brand to lend you a gown?”

It started just like that.

Lin Shanchu gently brushed her hair behind her ear and maintained her smile. “A friend gave it to me.”

A reporter asked, “Did you see the news of Lu Shiyuan being detained? What do you think about it?”

Lin Shanchu replied, “He deserved it.”

The reporter pursued the matter. “Do you really not care about your relationship with Lu Shiyuan for so many years? Some netizens commented that you are ruthless. Do you agree with them?”

“Your fiancé occupied your property for many years. On the wedding day, he slept with another woman on your wedding bed, and yet you mercifully sing praises of him. You are so great.”

Lin Shanchu smiled and her tone was full of appreciation, as if she really admired the reporter.

The other reporters laughed out loud after hearing Lin Shanchu’s words.

The reporter who asked the question lowered his head awkvvardly amidst the laughter.

The other reporters continued to pose questions.

A reporter asked, “Yesterday, you became trending after having lunch with the president of Yun Ding Corporation. Did you deliberately create hype to gain popularity?”

Lin Shanchu asked, “Do you have no friends or do you never eat lunch?” The reporter was speechless.

This was the first time the reporters from Capital City dealt face-to-face with Lin Shanchu.

They only learned about Lin Shanchu from some interviews and videos online.

They knew that Lin Shanchu was obscure for many years and had reappeared in the public’s eyes after participating in “My Stage”.

She looked beautiful, gentle and harmless.

However, her style was completely different from her appearance.

She dared to do and say anything, as if no one in the world was a match for her.

They only heard about the rumors before.

Today, they truly experienced it.

When the other reporters asked questions after that, they were obviously more careful and polite than before.

A reporter asked, “Will you meet up with Alec for dinner while you are in Capital City?”

“He’s here.” Lin Shanchu lifted her chin and looked at the door not far away.

The reporters turned around and saw Huo Chaosheng at the door.

It would take a long time for injuries to heal. Huo Chaosheng’s leg injury had not recovered yet, so he was still in a wheelchair when he left the house.

Huo Chaosheng waved at the reporters and asked with a smile, “Are you done with your questions? If you are done, I’m going to hang out with my friend.”

Whether it was the Huo family’s influence or Huo Chaosheng’s status, the reporters were wary of them.

“Alec, can we take a photo of you and Lin Shanchu before you leave?”

The reporter’s tone was filled with flattery.

Lin Shanchu pursed her lip and crossed her arms. The reporters really treated people differently according to their social status. It was indeed different to be born with a good background.

Huo Chaosheng gave them an “OK” sign.

A reporter shouted excitedly, “He agreed!”

It was just a group photo. What was there to be excited about? It was as if it was a great gift from heaven.

After Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng were photographed, they went to the lounge arranged by the brand owner.

The brand owner intended to allow Lin Shanchu to rest for a while before attending the brand’s appreciation dinner.

“Didn’t you say you were going to look for me at the dinner party? Why are you here so early?”

Lin Shanchu sat in front of the mirror and let He Xiang touch up her makeup. She looked at Huo Chaosheng through the mirror. Huo Chaosheng said concisely, “Boring.”

Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows slightly without a word.

Judging from the speed at which answered the phone in the morning, he was probably busy.

She did not know what made him feel bored.

After He Xiang touched up Lin Shanchu’s makeup, she went out with Qi Cheng to meet with the staff for the rest of the work.

When Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng were the only ones left in the lounge, he completely relaxed and revealed his true color.

“I couldn’t tell that you were really capable. Not only did you make Lu Shiyuan lose his woman and money, but he even has to go to jail.”

Huo Chaosheng sighed regretfully. “It’s all Third Brother’s fault for sending me back… Tch, Lu Shiyuan had it easy.”

Lin Shanchu stood up to get a bottle of mineral water. Then, she turned to Huo Chaosheng and asked, “Do you want some?” Huo Chaosheng reached out to her.

Lin Shanchu opened a bottle and handed it to him.

Huo Chaosheng took the bottle of mineral water mechanically. Then, his eyes slightly widened as he stared at Lin Shanchu in shock.

Just as Lin Shanchu was about to drink some water, she saw his expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You want to ask a favor from me again?” Huo Chaosheng narrowed his eyes and sized her up.

Lin Shanchu was puzzled.

Huo Chaosheng continued, “One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.”

Lin Shanchu finally understood him and said, “Didn’t I just open a bottle of water for you? How could it be solicitous?”

“What else could it be?” Huo Chaosheng raised his head and drank a mouthful of water. He stared at Lin Shanchu and continued, “You must have an ulterior motive for me.”

“You haven’t made any friends, have you?” Lin Shanchu asked him unhappily.

“I really don’t have any friends other than you.” Huo Chaosheng nodded seriously.

Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment before she said, “You are right. I do have an ulterior motive.”

“Tell me.” Huo Chaosheng had an expression that said, “I knew it!”

Lin Shanchu walked over to Huo Chaosheng and sat down. She lowered her voice and said slowly, “You’ve been overseas for so many years. Do you know where you can spend money to hire assassins?” “To kill who?” Huo Chaosheng’s eyes brightened.

Lin Shanchu replied, “Lu Shiyuan.”

After thinking for a moment, Huo Chaosheng said, “Lu Shiyuan has been detained. If he is sentenced after the trial, he will go straight to prison. Or… do you want to wait until he’s released from prison before you make a move?”

“It’s impossible for him to stay in prison until he is released.” Lin Shanchu’s eyes darkened as she said, “I know him well.”

Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai had been together for so many years. They had done many shady things together and had a hold over each other.

Now that the two sides had turned against each other, it was time for them to fight and threaten each other..
