Lin Shanchu and Qi Cheng checked their schedules.
She had to go for an audition tomorrow, so she was free the day after tomorrow.
After confirming the time, Lin Shanchu immediately called Patriarch Yun.
The old man was very happy when he received the call. He chatted with her for a long time before hanging up the phone.
Qi Cheng waited for her to hang up the phone before asking curiously, “You have other friends in Capital City?”
“It’s Huo Xunzhou’s grandfather,” Lin Shanchu replied with a smile.
Qi Cheng frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he said, “Yun Hongru! Yes, that’s the name of the patriarch of the Yun family.”
“Oh.” She did not know the patriarch’s name.
Qi Cheng looked at Lin Shanchu with a complicated expression and asked, invited you to his house for dinner?”
“Yes.” Lin Shanchu nodded happily and said, “He’s a good person.”
The first thing he said when he saw her was that he complimented her on her beauty.
Qi Cheng shook his head and laughed. “Shanshan, you don’t know the reputation of Patriarch Yun when he was young, do you? Among the famous families in Capital City, no one in power is an easy mark. The more amiable the person, the more ruthless his methods are.”
“Yeah, you’re right.” She had already experienced it.
Qi Cheng carefully observed Lin Shanchu and found that other than seriousness and agreement, there was no other emotion on her face.
She was really fearless.
First, Huo Zhuxiu met her in person. Then, Yun Hongru invited her to his house for dinner. The latter had a greater background, so Qi Cheng was trembling with fear when he heard about them.
However, she acted as if nothing had happened.
Qi Cheng smiled helplessly and reminded, “Be careful.” Lin Shanchu nodded and yawned. “I’m sleepy. I’ll go to sleep.”
The next day, Huo Chaosheng called Lin Shanchu.
“Huo Zhuxiu came to you?”
“Yes, after I finished work yesterday, he sent someone to pick me up and treat me to a meal at Boya Hotel.”
Lin Shanchu’s tone was so calm that it sounded like she had just had a simple meal with Huo Zhuxiu.
“You…” Huo Chaosheng suddenly fell silent right after opening his mouth.
A moment later, Huo Chaosheng sneered. “Should I explain our relationship to him
“There’s no need. I’ve already offended him anyway. He wants to kill me now for sure.”
“Are you really not afraid of death?” Huo Chaosheng was a little speechless.
Even a pervert like him felt that Lin Shanchu was a lunatic.
Lin Shanchu just laughed and did not say anything.
Huo Chaosheng kindly reminded her, “In that case, be careful when you go out these days.”
“Alright.”
Huo Chaosheng hung up the phone
Lin Shanchu kept her phone in front of her and spun it at an irregular pace.
Wealthy families were really intriguing.
Huo Zhuxiu did not care much about his own son. Instead, he cared more about Huo Chaosheng.
On the other hand, Huo Chaosheng obviously disliked Huo Zhuxiu.
Otherwise, Huo Chaosheng would not have called him by his name.
However, Huo Chaosheng really liked Huo Xunzhou, who was disliked by Huo Zhuxiu.
Therefore, Huo Xunzhou was at the top of the Huo family’s food chain.
He was really amazing.
Lin Shanchu turned on WeChat and sent Huo Xunzhou a message.
Lin Shanchu: [Brother Xunzhou, you are so awesome.] Huo Xunzhou replied quickly.
Huo Xunzhou: [I am inferior to you, Shanshan.]
Lin Shanchu:
Huo Xunzhou: [Grandfather told me about what happened yesterday.]
After Yun Hongru and Lin Shanchu parted ways yesterday, he called Huo
Xunzhou and told him everything happened at Boya Hotel in detail.
Yun Hongru also emphasized how Lin Shanchu had angered Huo Zhuxiu.
Huo Xunzhou knew that Lin Shanchu had been busy with filming in the past few days and that she had not suffered any losses from Huo Zhuxiu, so he did not contact her, lest he would disturb her rest.
Lin Shanchu did not know what Yun Hongru had told Huo Xunzhou about the incident yesterday. However, Huo Zhuxiu was Huo Xunzhou’s father after all, so she felt that she had to explain herself.
Lin Shanchu: [I wanted to be more polite to him.]
Lin Shanchu carefully read the message she sent twice. She felt that it was dull and insincere, so she added an emoji.
Lin Shanchu: [ [Obedient.jpg]]
This time, Huo Xunzhou sent a voice message.
Lin Shanchu tapped on it.
“And then?”
The man’s deep voice came from the phone, sounding more realistic.
However, Lin Shanchu had a feeling that he was trying to hold back his laughter.
Lin Shanchu looked around and found that there was no one nearby, so she sent him a voice message.
“But he wanted to make arrangements for me…”
She could not stand this humiliation.
Therefore, she could not be blamed for what had happened. Huo Zhuxiu asked for it, whereas she was innocent.
Huo Xunzhou tapped on the voice message and listened carefully. After that, he smiled and listened to it a few more times.
The lady’s voice was soft and a little aggrieved. She was cute and pitiful, just like a kitten.
He had watched every single episode of “Top Feast” that showed Lin Shanchu.
She delivered her lines effectively.
Even when she pretended to be obedient and pitiful in front of him, she could instantly melt his heart.
Huo Xunzhou held back his laughter and replied, “Yeah.” Lin Shanchu pondered over Huo Xunzhou’s tone.
It was calm and did not sound different from usual the tone.
In other words, Huo Xunzhou did not really care about this incident.
After all, Huo Zhuxiu did not treat him well.
It did not matter. Huo Zhuxiu treated him poorly, but she could be nice to him.
Lin Shanchu sent him a voice message. “I’m going to the Yun family for dinner tomorrow. You will be there, won’t you?”
Huo Xunzhou was about to reply to her.
After typing the words “Of course” , Lin Shanchu sent two messages.
The first one was a voice message. “You must come.”
The second message was an emoticon of a kitten lying on the ground looking ahead eagerly, accompanied by the words “I missed you”.
Huo Xunzhou deleted the word “Of course”. Then, he quickly typed two words and sent the message.
“Definitely.”
That night, Lin Shanchu was followed by someone on her way back from the audition.
He Xiang first noticed that something was wrong with the truck behind them and asked, “Is the truck behind us tailing us?
Lin Shanchu looked behind and saw a truck.
“This truck has been tailing us since we came out of the audition.”
When she came out of the audition earlier, she saw this truck at the entrance. She had a good memory and remembered the license plate at first glance.
“I’ll try to shake off that truck.” He Xiang’s driving skills were getting better. When she was in Xu City, she often easily got rid of the paparazzi who were tailing them.
Of course, Wen Huan was an exception.
However, the truck that was tailing them today was even more difficult to deal with than Wen Huan.
He Xiang did not shake off the truck until they reached the hotel entrance.
The truck tailed them all the way to the hotel entrance.
He Xiang thought that since they had arrived at the hotel entrance, the truck driver would definitely not dare to act rashly in public.
She stopped the car and asked confusedly, “What are they trying to do?”
Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment. Just she was about to speak, she heard He Xiang, who was usually quiet, start to curse and turn the steering wheel..
