Chapter 144 - 144: A Permanent Weakness



Lin Shanchu did not answer Xia Jinmeng’s question directly.

She looked at Xia Jinmeng and said regretfully, “It’s a shame that both of you have different destinies even though you come from the same background.”

To Xia Jinmeng, these words sounded like blatant mockery.

How dare Lin Shanchu mock her for being inferior to Tang Qidai?

“What right do you have to say that about me?” Xia Jinmeng gritted her teeth.

“You’re no better than me!”

“My life is better than yours.” Lin Shanchu smiled brightly.

Putting everything else aside, Lin Shanchu’s life was indeed better than Xia Jinmeng’s.

When she was young, she had both parents who loved her dearly.

Later on, when her parents passed away, they also left the company’s shares to her.

She was restricted by the setting of the female lead in the angst novel, which was why she played her good hand badly.

On the other hand, a female celebrity like Xia Jinmeng, who did not have particularly outstanding qualities, was akin to a blade of grass out of the entire garden known as the entertainment industry.

It was too difficult to stand out.

Not only was Xia Jinmeng not as lucky as Lin Shanchu, but she was also not as lucky as Tang Qidai.

She was not adopted by a rich family.

She had already suffered a lot to get to where she was today.

Perhaps, the most successful moment Xia Jinmeng spent her life working for was just Lin Shanchu’s starting point.

The expression on Xia Jinmeng’s face changed again and again before finally returning to silence.

With a cold expression, she left without saying a word.

When she passed by Lin Shanchu, she bumped into her shoulder.

Lin Shanchu looked at her back, the corners of her lips slowly rising.

How could one harvest the fruit they wanted?

Step one, find the most suitable soil.

Step two, plant a seed.

Step three, irrigate, fertilize, trim the branches, and cut the leaves.

After that, one could wait for the day of harvest.

Xia Jinmeng was very ambitious.

Previously, she had teamed up with Tang Qidai to deal with Lin Shanchu in order to get first place.

She and Tang Qidai were also fake friends.

A person who was willing to do anything for profits and hated Tang Qidai was the perfect candidate for Lin Shanchu.

Although Lu Shiyuan had the male lead plot armor, he also had a weakness that he could not get rid of.

That was the setting of an angst novel’s male lead would always love the female lead.

No matter how much Lu Shiyuan hated her and wanted to kill her, she was the one he loved the most in his heart.

This was also the reason why Lu Shiyuan had not given Tang Qidai a proper title despite the rumors about him and Tang Qidai spreading like wildfire.

Because Lu Shiyuan did not love her at all.

Lu Shiyuan would also show affection to the women who were similar to Lin Shanchu because he only loved Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu still remembered that Lu Shiyuan had a bad temper since he was young.

Other than her, he didn’t play with any other little girls.

Tang Qidai’s appearance was an exception.

Tang Qidai’s features bore some resemblance to Lin Shanchu’s.

That was why Lu Shiyuan, who had always been cold to other girls, took a few more glances at Tang Qidai and treated her differently.

This gave Tang Qidai a chance to get close to Lu Shiyuan.

In the following years, she had been very smart and learned to imitate Lin Shanchu.

Slowly, Lin Shanchu was kicked out of the game.

That trick might not be the best.

But it was very useful.

Therefore, it was not difficult to turn Xia Jinmeng into another Tang Qidai.

It could even be said to be very easy.

Because no one knew Lu Shiyuan’s preferences better than Lin Shanchu.

And now, the seed had been planted.

Soon, she would be able to proceed to the third step.

The groupmates of “Love Me” noticed that their leader, Xia Jinmeng, had been acting strangely recently.

She was very engrossed in her intense training all day long and did not speak much.

The most obvious thing was that Xia Jinmeng didn’t bother Lin Shanchu anymore.

Lin Shanchu, on the other hand, didn’t seem out of the ordinary. She was smiling all day and was very nice to her groupmates.

There were even some nosy members who secretly discussed this matter. “Is Xia Jinmeng not targeting Lin Shanchu anymore?”

“It’s true. She’s been so busy with her training that she doesn’t talk much, let alone cause trouble for Lin Shanchu.”

“Could it be that she had been subdued by Lin Shanchu?”

“Pfft, I don’t think so. Could it be that she’s afraid of Lin Shanchu’s identity as ‘President Lin’?”

“That’s possible, but Lin Shanchu doesn’t put on airs at all..

The topic of the members’ discussion started to change.

No one noticed that Lin Shanchu, one of the people involved, was playing with her phone in the innermost cubicle.

Lin Shanchu was looking at Lu Corporation’s stocks.

Two days ago, a movie invested by the Lu Corporation was released.

The box office earnings on the first day exceeded 100 million dollars.

Even the Lu Corporation’s stock price had steadily risen.

Lin Shanchu had insomnia again that night.

At three o’clock in the morning, she changed into her training clothes and went to the training room.

Since she couldn’t sleep and had nothing else to do, she could only practice her dance.

Lin Shanchu walked to the door of the training room and heard some movement coming from inside.

She pushed the door open and met the gaze of the person inside.

“No wonder you improved so quickly,” Xia Jinmeng remarked with a sneer.

She was sweating profusely. It was obvious that she had been here for quite some time.

Lin Shanchu ignored her and started to practice the dance after warming up.

Xia Jinmeng was resting at the side, staring at Lin Shanchu’s dance practice expressionlessly.

Lin Shanchu had fair skin and long legs. Her body was flexible, and she had nice features. She always gave off an innocent feeling as if she had never suffered at all.

Xia Jinmeng stared at her for a while, unable to shift her gaze away.

She was really beautiful.

At the same time, she was capable of making others jealous of her.

No wonder Tang Qidai still needed to think of ways to get rid of Lin Shanchu even though she had already ensnared Lu Shiyuan’s heart.

If she were Tang Qidai, she would also be worried about Lin Shanchu’s existence.

Lin Shanchu did not look at Xia Jinmeng the entire time, nor did she speak to her. She was focused on practicing her dance. It was as if Xia Jinmeng didn’t exist at all.

Xia Jinmeng was quite displeased.

The words Lin Shanchu had said to her in the washroom had disturbed her for the past few days.

However, Lin Shanchu acted as if nothing had happened.

It was six in the morning.

Lin Shanchu was going back to the dormitory.

Xia Jinmeng stepped forward to stop her.

Lin Shanchu looked at Xia Jinmeng in silence.

Her gaze was calm and distant, making it difficult to see the emotions in her

eyes.

Xia Jinmeng was the first to speak. “Don’t you have anything to say to me?” Lin Shanchu looked at the clock on the wall. “It’s 6:10 right now.”

She had to go to the cafeteria with Yun Wu for breakfast at half past six.

Xia Jinmeng could hear the impatience in Lin Shanchu’s tone.

Hesitation flashed across her eyes, but they quickly became unusually firm. “Will you keep the promise you made to me last time?”

The seed sprouted.

It was faster than Lin Shanchu had expected.

“I’ve said so many things. Which one are you referring to?” Lin Shanchu asked calmly.

Xia Jinmeng glanced at the camera and closed the door to create a blind spot.

Xia Jinmeng tilted her head slightly and whispered into Lin Shanchu’s ear, “You said that you know what kind of woman Lu Shiyuan likes. You said that you can help me.”

Because of this, she missed the smile that flashed across Lin Shanchu’s eyes..
