Chapter 202 - 202: Reveal the Truth
Lu Shiyuan put on a high and mighty stance as if he were a king.
He wanted her to admit her mistake, quit the entertainment industry, and hold a wedding with her.
All of this was like a gift to her.
If she dared to refuse him, she would be ungrateful and reach a dead end.
“Hahahaha…
Lin Shanchu could not hold back her laughter, such that she could not even straighten her back.
She rested her head on the dining table for a while before she managed to suppress laughter.
Lu Shiyuan’s voice was filled with anger. “What are you laughing at?”
Instead of answering him, Lin Shanchu asked, “How are you going to help me?”
Lu Shiyuan thought that Lin Shanchu had finally accepted reality and was ready to give in, so his tone softened a little.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I have my ways.”
After he finished speaking, he stared coldly at Lin Shanchu, waiting for her to lower her head and admit her mistake.
“If you can kick Tang Qidai out of the entertainment industry and make her a target of scorn, I may consider showing you respect for the sake of our relationship.”
Lin Shanchu completely suppressed the expression on her face as her gaze darkened. Even though her voice sounded as gentle as usual, she could not conceal the intimidating aura around her.
“You’re going to show me respect?” Lu Shiyuan sneered, “Lin Shanchu, are you still refuse to face reality at this point?”
Lin Shanchu reached out to hold her forehead with impatience written all over her face.
“Lu Shiyuan, Tang Qidai is the one at fault in this incident after all. She was the one who started it. If everyone knew the truth, Tang Qidai would end up worse than I am now. You know that, right?”
Lu Shiyuan was unimpressed. “The truth? You aren’t the one to decide it.”
He had ordered someone to take care of the surveillance cameras and employees in the company.
The so-called “truth” that Lin Shanchu had mentioned would never appear.
Lin Shanchu was not frustrated. Instead, she continued to speak calmly.
“Since childhood, you’ve been condoning everything that Tang Qi has done to me. You’re well aware, aren’t you?”
A trace of guilt flashed across Lu Shiyuan’s eyes.
He was aware of what Tang Qidai had done, but in his opinion, it was not a serious matter.
Therefore, he had never taken it to heart and always told Lin Shanchu not to argue with Tang Qidai.
“I admit that I’ve indulged Qidai a little, but you’ve always been my fiancée.
What are you dissatisfied with?”
Lu Shiyuan did not think that he had treated Lin Shanchu harshly.
On the contrary, Lin Shanchu was ungrateful and had colluded with others to set him up on multiple occassions.
“Have you watched my exclusive interview?”
Lin Shanchu suddenly changed the topic. Lu Shiyuan kept up with her pace slowly. “If you had spoken more intelligently during the exclusive interview, you wouldn’t have ended up like this.” Lu Shiyuan had not changed at all.
He did not take her words seriously at all.
Lin Shanchu looked at him coldly. “I’m telling the truth. I hope that the people who hurt me will die soon.”
Lu Shiyuan was stunned by her hateful gaze and was momentarily at a loss for words.
Lin Shanchu had been holding her phone ever since she entered the restaurant.
While Lu Shiyuan was lost in thought, she turned on Weibo and clicked on Qiao Jiaxi’s homepage.
Qiao Jiaxi’s latest Weibo post was posted a minute ago, containing texts and a video:
[I didn’t want to expose this video at first because President Lin said that she disagreed to reveal the truth and cherished the old relationship. However, a person has to be conscientious. Back then, President Lin gave me this opportunity to sign me with Lu Corporation. I’m very grateful to her. I can’t just watch President Lin bear the infamy. Even if Tang Qidai is my cousin, I shall reveal the truth to the public…]
The video of that day was under the message.
Qiao Jiaxi had sent this video to Lin Shanchu before.
Therefore, Lin Shanchu knew that it was the full video of Tang Qidai attacking He Xiang on the day of the incident just by looking at the video length without clicking on it.
Qiao Jiaxi was finally smart for once.
This Weibo post was even more sincere and sentimental than Tang Qidai’s.
While Qiao Jiaxi showed her loyalty, she also dragged Lin Shanchu down.
Lin Shanchu knew what she was up to.
Even if she could not bring Tang Qidai down this time, she would not pin the blame on Qiao Jiaxi. Instead, she would pin the blame on Lin Shanchu.
Qiao Jiaxi had become a good person and gained some reputation, riding another wave of popularity.
She was completely following in Tang Qidai’s footsteps.
She was pretty good.
Lin Shanchu put away her phone and looked up with a smile.
“Lu Shiyuan, you don’t know, right? I often dream of you getting killed by a car when you go out.”
She spoke in a gentle voice with a smile on her face.
Lu Shiyuan felt a chill down his spine.
When he watched the exclusive interview, he did not expect that the “person who hurt her” turned out to be him.
“When have I ever mistreated you all these years?” Lu Shiyuan was furious.
Lin Shanchu did not want to talk nonsense with him anymore.
She got up and walked out without looking back.
Seeing that, Lu Shiyuan chased after her.
“Lin Shanchu, stop right there! Explain yourself!”
He thought that he had treated her well, so why did she hate him so much?
Lin Shanchu walked very quickly.
When she reached the door, she turned around and saw that Lu Shiyuan had not followed her. Then, she deliberately slowed down.
Lu Shiyuan did not notice Lin Shanchu’s little action at all. He went forward and grabbed her.
“Explain yourself!”
Lin Shanchu’s cold face suddenly revealed a smile.
Lu Shiyuan vaguely felt that something was wrong.
However, Lin Shanchu did not give him a chance to think.
“I’ve already promised you that I won’t release the video. What else do you want?”
Lin Shanchu looked at Lu Shiyuan with tears in her eyes.
“What?” Lin Shanchu’s expression changed so quickly that Lu Shiyuan could not react in time.
At this moment, a group of reporters suddenly surrounded them.
The reporters from the entertainment industry had been looking for Lin Shanchu since last night.
Lin Shanchu had never shown up.
Now that the reporters had finally caught Lin Shanchu in person, they naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.
The reporters were also the most well-informed.
They already knew that Qiao Jiazhi had released the full video.
“Lin Shanchu, do you know that Qiao Jiaxi has posted a video on Weibo for clarification?”
“Qiao Jiaxi said that you didn’t agree to reveal the truth because you care about your old relationship, is that true?”
“You’ve had the full video in your hands, but you never responded out loud. Is it because you’re still concerned about your old relationship with Tang Qidai, just like Qiao Jiaxi said?”
“Lin Shanchu, can you answer us?”
Despite the reporters’ inquiries, Lin Shanchu seemed to be in a sorrowful state and did not hear anything.
“Lu Shiyuan, that’s enough! This is the last time I’ll condone Tang Qidai!” Tears rolled down Lin Shanchu’s face as she sounded almost hysterical.
Lu Shiyuan looked at the reporters who had suddenly surrounded him and vaguely understood something.
“What nonsense are you spouting?” he chided Lin Shanchu. The reporters were stunned by this huge amount of information.
A momentary silence fell upon the scene now.
A daring reporter asked cautiously, “Lin Shanchu, did Lu Shiyuan stop you from publicizing the full video?”
