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

Lin Shanchu saw Huo Zhuxiu and Huo Chaosheng as soon as she entered the banquet hall.

Huo Chaosheng had his hands in his pockets as he stood beside Huo Zhuxiu with a lazy expression. When Huo Zhuxiu spoke to him, he had a nonchalant expression.

When Huo Chaosheng turned around and saw Lin Shanchu, his eyes instantly brightened and he was about to walk over.

Huo Zhuxiu also caught a glimpse of Lin Shanchu. Then, he grabbed Huo Chaosheng’s arm and dragged him to greet the elders.

Lin Shanchu stood behind Huo Xunzhou and helped him push the wheelchair. She leaned over slightly and whispered into his ear, “Your dad really cares about Huo Chaosheng.”

Her tone was casual, as if it was a casual remark.

However, Huo Xunzhou felt indignant.

“He has always been like this.” Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly and placed his hand on hers, trying to comfort her.

Stunned, Lin Shanchu instantly pulled her hand out and asked, “What are you doing?”

How could he touch her hand in public?

Huo Xunzhou did not say anything.

From Lin Shanchu’s angle, she could vaguely see his curled lip with a hint of smugness.

Huo Zhuxiu appeared in front of them at some point.

“You are here.”

Lin Shanchu looked up and noticed that Huo Chaosheng was no longer beside

Huo Zhuxiu.

She did not see Huo Chaosheng after looking around, so she guessed that Huo Zhuxiu had deliberately sent him away.

Why was Huo Zhuxiu on guard against her so much?

Huo Xunzhou glanced at Huo Zhuxiu expressionlessly before turning to Lin Shanchu with a gentle expression. “Are you tired? Do you want to take a break first or accompany me to greet Patriarch Cheng?”

Huo Zhuxiu knitted his brows.

Lin Shanchu blinked and said thoughtfully, “Let’s say greet him first.” “Alright,” Huo Xunzhou said gently.

Lin Shanchu pushed Huo Xunzhou toward Huo Zhuxiu and said politely,

“President Huo, please make way.”

Huo Zhuxiu looked at Lin Shanchu and then at Huo Xunzhou. He frowned even more.

A hint of impatience flashed across Lin Shanchu’s eyes as she pushed Huo Zhuxiu away with her shoulder.

Speechless, Huo Zhuxiu turned to look at Lin Shanchu in disbelief.

Lin Shanchu turned her head to look at him. She had an innocent face, looking weak, harmless and easily bullied, but she looked unruly when she raised her eyes.

Huo Zhuxiu narrowed his eyes and sneered silently.

A few days ago, he hired someone to kill Lin Shanchu on the street by hitting her with a truck. To his surprise, she was not only be fearless when she saw him again, but she also dared to provoke him arrogantly.

It had been a long time since he had seen such a courageous lady.

Unfortunately, her background was a little inferior.

Lin Shanchu saw Tang Qidai beside Patriarch Cheng

Tang Qidai was dressed in a haute couture gown and the jewelry she wore was no worse than Cheng Fanjing, who was sitting on the other side of Patriarch Cheng.

It seemed like Tang Qidai was doing well in the Cheng family.

While Huo Xunzhou and Patriarch Cheng were talking, Tang Qidai walked over to Lin Shanchu.

“After the patriarch saw me, his illness gradually improved. Do you know what this is called?”

Tang Qidai looked at Lin Shanchu proudly.

Lin Shanchu glanced at her with a relaxed expression, “Blind luck?”

Tang Qidai’s expression froze for a moment before she snorted. “This is called when one door shuts, another opens!”

“When I left Xu City, I told you that you would never be able to catch up to me.”

Tang Qidai felt as if she had vented her anger.

She looked at Lin Shanchu carefully, trying to find a trace of anger and resentment on her face.

However, she was disappointed. Lin Shanchu had her signature gentle smile on her face, and she could not see any other emotions.

Tang Qidai leaned close to her ear and whispered through gritted teeth, “Just wait. I will climb to the top step by step and return all the humiliation you gave me in the past!”

Lin Shanchu chuckled. “Then you have to climb faster. I’m impatient and I can’t wait too long.”

She really felt bored without Tang Qidai around.

Tang Qidai loathed Lin Shanchu’s confident expression.

However, she had just returned home not long ago and had not regained firm footing, so she could not do anything to Lin Shanchu.

In the future, she would definitely make Lin Shanchu cry and kneel in front of her to admit defeat!

Patriarch Cheng was superstitious. After listening to a master’s words that treating his children well could accumulate virtue and prolong life, he sent people to look for those lovechilren whom he had in the past.

After Tang Qidai was found, Patriarch Cheng’s health improved day by day.

Patriarch Cheng thought that Tang Qidai was his lucky star and doted on her very much.

Even his favorite granddaughter, Cheng Fanjing, was now neglected by Patriarch Cheng Cheng.

After Huo Xunzhou finished chatting with Patriarch Cheng, he turned around and waved at Lin Shanchu. “Shanshan, come here.”

Lin Shanchu walked over in confusion.

“Grandpa Cheng, this is my teacher’s daughter, Shanshan.” Huo Xunzhou grabbed Lin Shanchu’s hand when she walked over.

Patriarch Cheng looked away from their hands and said with a smile, “This lady is beautiful, clever and looks lovable.”

“Grandpa Cheng praised you. Why don’t you thank him?” Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly to look at Lin Shanchu. His gaze was as gentle as water.

Huo Xunzhou was still holding Lin Shanchu’s hand. No matter how hard she tried, and she couldn’t pull back her hand. Was this what Huo Xunzhou meant “openly”?

Wasn’t this a little too openly?

She cooperated with Huo Xunzhou and said obediently, “Thank you, Grandpa

Cheng. I wish you a long and happy life.”

Although it was just a cheesy and auspicious blessing, the old man loved to hear it.

Furthermore, Lin Shanchu sounded sincere.

“Good child, thank you,” Patriarch Cheng said with a smile.

Huo Xunzhou only let go of Lin Shanchu’s hand when he turned to leave.

“Is this what you mean by being openly?” Lin Shanchu asked him in a low voice.

“Wait for me in the resting area,” Huo Xunzhou said with a smile.

Lin Shanchu caught a glimpse of Huo Zhuxiu’s cold gaze out of the corner of her eye. He was holding the wine glass so tightly that his knuckles were turning white..
