Chapter 208 - 208: She Sounded as if She Was Not Close to Xunzhou
When the netizens who criticized Tang Qidai began to feel sorry for Lin
Shanchu, Lin Shanchu knew that Nan Mu had arranged his men to take action.
[I really feel sorry for Lin Shanchu. She obviously didn’t do anything wrong, yet the netizens condemned her.]
[So that’s what Lin Shanchu meant when she said in the exclusive interview that she had to follow her conscience.]
[Judging from what she said in the exclusive interview, I think she’s trying to give Tang Qidai a chance.]
[Although Lin Shanchu is a little crazy, she’s always honest in everything she does. I even condemned her yesterday. I’m really sorry. I won’t take sides so easily in the future!]
[I watched Lin Shanchu’s exclusive interview video again. She looked really sad.]
[Perhaps Lin Shanchu swallowed the insults in the past years not because she was weak, but she cared too much about her friend, Tang Qidai…]
[+1, I think so too.]
[Shouldn’t Lu Shiyuan speak up? Lu Shiyuan was also present in the video Qiao Jiaxi posted, but he had hidden himself in this fiasco?]
[Yes, he was clearly at the scene, but he didn’t say a word and watched Lin Shanchu being condemned!]
[Don’t mention his name. The hashtag #DisgustingManLuShiyuan# won’t be trending. Everyone knows that Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai have always been in cahoots. He’s just covering up for Tang Qidai. Trash!]
[Lu Shiyuan is clearly bullying Lin Shanchu with Tang Qidai. Lin Shanchu is clearly the top student of the Xu City Film Academy, but she doesn’t have any acting opportunities and is constantly being condemned… It’s simply terrifying.]
[What’s even more terrifying is that Lin Shanchu’s parents are the benefactors of the Lu family. The way Lu Shiyuan treats the daughter of his benefactor is far inferior to a certain Best Actor.]
[Sisters, don’t compare them. Lu’s name doesn’t deserve to be on the same level as a certain Best Actor!]
[I put myself in Lin Shanchu’s shoes. My best friend who grew up together hooked up with my fiancé and joined forces to hurt me and suppress me. No one will help me. It’s practically a nightmare. If it were someone with a weak mentality, they would probably not want to live anymore… Anyway, I just feel very sad and sorry for her. No matter what Lin Shanchu does in the future, I think I can understand her as long as she doesn’t breaks the law or harm people.]
This comment had been liked hundreds of thousands of times and was at the top.
Many media accounts even took screenshots of it and forwarded them.
Lu Shiyuan had spent a lot of money to clear his name, but now the matter had escalated to this point, it was beyond his control.
In this incident, he did not hit someone, nor did he get hit.
However, no matter how one looked at it, he could not absolve himself of the blame.
Still, Lu Shiyuan ended up on the trending search list.
Lin Shanchu posted a Weibo post in the evening. The Weibo post contained only two simple words:
[Look ahead.]
The two simple words were neat, dignified and unrestrained.
This was the result of discussion with Nan Mu.
“If it was some sensational content like Qiao Jiaxi’s, you would certainly earn some fans and non-fans’ tears, but it would be inappropriate.”
Lin Shanchu agreed with Nan Mu.
“I agree.”
It had only been two days since the fiasco started festered, but she felt that it had been a long time.
She was a little tired.
She wanted to end it quickly.
She had to be more efficient.
She still had a tough battle to fight.
Nan Mu could hear the exhaustion in Lin Shanchu’s voice. He pondered for a moment and said, “Take two days off.”
“You’re so generous?” Lin Shanchu was surprised.
Nan Mu had previously arranged such a long schedule for her. Now that her popularity had reached the next level, he wanted her to take a break.
“I’m a human being after all!” Nan Mu looked at her suspiciously. “Do you think I’m so heartless?”
Nan Mu did not know how much of Lin Shanchu’s tears were real in front of the reporters.
However, both Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai were very close to Lin Shanchu.
He did not know whether Lin Shanchu felt sad or not.
However, out of sympathy with Lin Shanchu, he felt that she should rest for two days to adjust her condition.
Lin Shanchu nodded seriously. “Yeah.”
“You…” Nan Mu was so angry that he could not continue his words.
“Thank you,” Lin Shanchu said with a smile.
Nan Mu’s anger disappeared instantly and his eyes gleamed. “Treat me to a meal then.”
“What do you want to eat?” Lin Shanchu asked.
“I’ll eat whatever you cook.” Nan Mu chuckled.
Lin Shanchu looked puzzledly at Nanmu.
Nan Mu came to his senses immediately and waved his hand in fright. “I didn’t mean anything else. I just think you cook delicious meals! I’ve eaten all the delicious food outside! I just want to eat the food you cook!”
“Oh.” Lin Shanchu saw his sincere expression and asked, “When? Can I do it at my house?”
Nan Mu thought for a moment and said seriously, “Go to my house.”
“Your house?” Those words sounded a little ambiguous. Nan Mu replied, “I’ll call Xunzhou and the others.”
“Oh.”
“Do you understand?”
Lin Shanchu nodded. “Yes, I understand. You’re afraid that Huo Chaosheng will think that I’m close to Huo Xunzhou. That’s why you chose the location at your house.”
Nan Mu was convinced and gave Lin Shanchu a thumbs up.
Lin Shanchu smiled humbly.
Suddenly, Nan Mu seemed to have thought of something and looked at her in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“What did you mean just now? Are you very close to Xunzhou?”
What did she mean by “afraid that Huo Chaosheng will think that I’m close to Huo Xunzhou”?
She sounded as if she was not close to Xunzhou.
Lin Shanchu blinked. “It’s getting late. I’m going to sleep. Goodbye.”
Nan Mu was speechless.
Nan Mu gave Lin Shanchu a day off.
Artists wihout a job would naturally stay at home to rest.
However, she was also a shareholder of Lu Corporation.
As long as Lu Corporation did not go bankrupt, she could work there.
Lin Shanchu woke up early.
He Xiang had already prepared breakfast.
Seeing that Lin Shanchu had changed her clothes, she asked, “Sister Lin, are you going out?”
“Yes, I’m going to visit my fiancé.” Lin Shanchu’s tone was light. People who did not know better would think that she and her fiancé were in a good relationship.
“Do you want to tell Brother Qi?” He Xiang asked.
Qi Cheng had instructed her to contact him immediately if anything happened.
There were countless paparazzi waiting outside to take photos of Lin Shanchu. As long as she went out, she would be at risk of being photographed. Lin Shanchu drank a mouthful of porridge and said, “Just tell him.”
“Alright.” He Xiang sat down opposite her and ate breakfast together.
Lin Shanchu suddenly raised her head. “Tell him now!”
Qi Cheng rushed over half an hour later.
“Do you have to go?” he asked Lin Shanchu as soon as he entered the house.
“Of course.” Lin Shanchu was putting on makeup.
Qi Cheng said, “Alright, I’ll drive you.””
Lin Shanchu replied, “Thank you, Brother Qi.”
The communication between them went smoothly. He Xiang still could not figure out the situation.
Qi Cheng explained kindly, “You didn’t think that Shanshan asked you to inform me about her departure without any ulterior motive, did you?”
