Chapter 420: Solo Stan
Translator:EndlessFantasy Translation Editor:EndlessFantasy Translation
Cheng Fanjing grew up in the Cheng family’s old mansion and was the one who spent the longest time with Patriarch Cheng among the grandchildren.
It was also one of the reasons that Patriarch Cheng doted on her so much.
Cheng Fanjing knew Patriarch Cheng’s personality better precisely because she had been with him for the longest time.
She knew very well that even though her grandfather was angry, he would not marry her off to some random family like Tang Qidai said.
Tang Qidai said that on purpose to provoke her into agreeing to her conditions.
It was also another reason that the Cheng Family disliked Tang Qidai.
Apart from being an illegitimate child, Tang Qidai was also a devious person who had many tricks up her sleeves. She had no moral baseline at all and made things look bad.
Cheng Fanjing adjusted her clothes and walked up to Tang Qidai with her chin raised.
“Cheng Qidai, since you’ve taken good care of my grandfather, I’ll give you a piece of advice. My grandfather doesn’t like disobedient children. He hates people who can’t clean their own mess.”
After finished speaking, Cheng Fanjing left without waiting for Tang Qidai’s response.
When Cheng Fanjing’s figure disappeared at the door, Tang Qidai suddenly turned around and kicked the chair beside her.
She understood Cheng Fanjing’s words.
Therefore, she tried more than once to win Cheng Fanjing over to deal with Lin Shanchu together. She wanted to tell Patriarch Cheng about it when Cheng Fanjing made a big mess.
In this way, she could separate the patriarch from Cheng Fanjing over time. In the future, she would be the most person in the entire Cheng family who gained the most trust from the patriarch.
As long as she had Patriarch Cheng as her backer, she would be able to live a smooth life in the future and no one would dare to provoke her.
However, she could not win Cheng Fanjing over no matter what because of her arrogance.
Her goal in trying to win over Cheng Fanjing was never to deal with Lin Shanchu. The current Lin Shanchu was no longer someone she could easily deal with.
However, this was fine. Lin Shanchu’s actions had dealt a heavy blow to Cheng Fanjing and extinguished her arrogance.
For a long time to come, Cheng Fanjing would become unusually well-behaved.
…
Lin Shanchu just wanted Cheng Fanjing to suffer a setback, but she did not intend to take things too far.
After all, what Cheng Fanjing had done was nothing compared to Tang Qidai.
However, Huo Xunzhou also intervened in this matter.
His methods were even more ruthless than Lin Shanchu’s.
He directly revealed some of Cheng Fanjing’s dark past.
Although Cheng Fanjing had never done great evil, she was good at playing tricks. It was fine if she did it once or twice, but her reputation would be greatly affected if she did it too many times.
At first, the netizens did not know who Cheng Fanjing was. Later on, an unknown daughter from a certain family in Capital City went online in a dummy account and enthusiastically exposed her dark past to everyone.
Those socialites who held a grudge against Cheng Fanjing also joined in anonymously.
Only then did the netizens understand the scandal.
[It seems that Miss Cheng is a repeat offender who abuses her power to bully others.]
[Miss Cheng didn’t expect to hit a brick wall this time, did she?]
[Isn’t this the woman who had dinner with Best Actor Huo a few days ago?]
[Did Sister Rabbit suddenly make a move because the Miss Cheng hooked up with her man?]
[Of all people, she chose to provoke Lin Shanchu!]
[That’s right. Sister Rabbit is just a title. It doesn’t mean that she’s as gentle as a rabbit.]
She was on the trending list for most of the day, but she was no longer trending after a day or two.
However, in reality, this matter was still being spread in the socialite circle in Capital City.
Cheng Fanjing became the laughing stock of the circle. She hid at home to avoid the limelight and did not go out to participate in social activities.
Lin Shanchu had not contacted Huo Xunzhou for the past two days, and he had not contacted her either.
Lin Shanchu knew better than anyone that Huo Xunzhou was neither busy with work nor had no time to contact her. Instead, he was waiting for her to “turn herself in”.
Lin Shanchu put herself in his shoes.
If Huo Xunzhou needed help, she could help him. However, Huo Xunzhou did not look for her but went to ask a favor from He Xiang…
Thinking about it this way, she felt that Huo Xunzhou’s temper was understandable.
Lin Shanchu realized that Huo Xunzhou was throwing tantrums a little too often.
She wanted to call him petty, but he was throwing a tantrum while helping her settle the matter.
He was not petty, but he had not contacted her for two days.
Thinking about it, she felt that he was a little cute.
Lin Shanchu decided to turn herself in.
She picked up her car keys and prepared to go out.
“Where are you going?”
Number 1357 appeared in front of her at some point like a ghost.
Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds before she replied, “I’m going to meet Huo Xunzhou.”
“I’ll go too.” Number 1357 raised his head. The dark circles under his eyes were as big as walnuts.
Lin Shanchu asked, “What did you do last night?”
“I stayed up late to watch dramas.” Number 1357 sighed. “The TV series nowadays are so good.”
“…”
Lin Shanchu left with Number 1357.
He Xiang came back from shopping and saw them at the entrance of the neighborhood.
“Sister Lin, are you going out?”
“Yeah, I won’t be coming back for dinner.”
Lin Shanchu waved at her and strode into the car.
He Xiang stayed where she was, feeling a little disappointed and thinking that Lin Shanchu would take her uncle with her whenever she went out.
Before Lin Shanchu went to meet Huo Xunzhou, she went to the store to get the wristwatch that she had mentioned when she gave him a false hope.
The actual wristwatch looked better than in the promotional video.
It was low-key yet high-quality and luxurious. The difference between it and the wristwatch she gave Yun Jin was obvious.
That petty Huo Xunzhou should be satisfied now.
“Is this wristwatch expensive?” Number 1357 asked her when they got back into the car.
“It’s affordable.” The price was not important. What was important was whether Huo Xunzhou was satisfied or not.
Number 1357 glanced at her thoughtfully and said, “It must be very expensive.”
What was with this unconvinced tone?
Lin Shanchu turned to look at him and asked, “What are you trying to say?”
Number 1357 looked at her expression and said bluntly, “Can’t he buy it himself when he has money? He still needs to spend your money.”
Lin Shanchu was puzzled.
Judging from Number 1357’s tone, she could felt a strong sense of an old father aching for his daughter’s money.
Lin Shanchu replied, “I have money, so what’s wrong with spending some money on my boyfriend?”
“Oh.” Number 1357 lowered his head silently.
Lin Shanchu said, “Drive.”
As Number 1357 started the car, Lin Shanchu started lecturing him. “Your mindset is wrong. Love is a two-way street. Huo Xunzhou has given me many things. This wristwatch is nothing at all…”
Number 1357 only knew sweet things and was really clueless about the emotional communication between people.
After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she noticed that Number 1357 was unusually silent.
She glanced at him and said, “Speak.”
Number 1357 said softly, “I just feel that you’ve suffered a lot and he should treat you better.”
Lin Shanchu did not expect to hear this answer.
Stunned, she replied, “Number 1357, do you know what we call your behavior?”
“What is it called?”
“Solo stan.”
