Chapter 278 - 278: What Was Coming Would Come
When they reached somewhere less crowded, Lin Shanchu gradually slowed down.
She saw Huo Xunzhou rubbing his temples.
After he was done rubbing his temples, he leaned back in his wheelchair without moving an inch. Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and could see his furrowed brows.
He was probably feeling uncomfortable.
“President Huo, you can hold your liquor well,” Lin Shanchu said with a faint smile.
Hearing Lin Shanchu’s sarcastic tone, Huo Xunzhou curled his lip slightly. “Shanshan, I did you a great favor, why can’t you treat me gentler?”
The person who had been paralyzed by alcohol spoke slowly. His magnetic voice was gentle, making her ears numb.
Lin Shanchu stopped and looked at him calmly, “What great favor did you do for me?”
He stared at Lin Shanchu with his drunken and bright eyes. “You wanted to get Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng drunk.”
Even though he was drunk, he still carefully lowered his voice, as if he was whispering to her.
Lin Shanchu’s lips twitched as she looked at him in surprise.
“I guessed right.” He had the look of an excited child who had answered a question correctly.
Usually, Huo Xunzhou would never act like this.
Lin Shanchu confirmed that he was really drunk.
She sighed slightly.
Fortunately, Lu Shiyuan was not as cautious as Huo Xunzhou. Otherwise, she might never have the chance to take revenge in this life.
Huo Xunzhou turned around and reached out to hold her wrist. “Did I guess it right?”
His eyes looked stubborn, as if he would not give up until he got Lin Shanchu’s affirmation.
Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds before she said, ‘Yes, you got it right!” Huo Xunzhou finally let go of her hand and smiled smugly.
Lin Shanchu really did not expect the drunk Huo Xunzhou to be so childish and difficult to deal with.
Lin Shanchu saw Li MO as soon as she left the banquet hall.
“Big Brother, Miss Lin!”
Li MO immediately noticed that something was wrong with Huo Xunzhou. brother, vou…” Smellinq the alcohol Li MO asked, “How much did vou drink?”
“Why do you care?” Huo Xunzhou raised his voice.
“…I wouldn’t dare,” Li MO said weakly.
“Why?” Huo Xunzhou took gloves off and asked, “Am I very fierce?”
At the brand ceremony earlier, Lin Shanchu saw Li MO sitting next to Huo Xunzhou, looking like he wanted to run away.
LiMo replied, “No…”
Huo Xunzhou finally gave up.
Li MO walked to Lin Shanchu’s side and whispered, “Miss Lin, I’ll do it.” Huo Xunzhou heard his words and immediately turned to look at Li Mo. “I don’t want you.”
“Miss Lin…” Li MO was dumbstruck as he looked at Lin Shanchu awkwardly.
“I’ll do it,” Lin Shanchu said, barely holding back her laughter. He Xiang was also waiting for Lin Shanchu outside.
“Sister Lin.”
“Wait for me in the car.” Lin Shanchu shook her head at her.
“Oh.” He Xiang looked at Huo Xunzhou curiously and left reluctantly.
When they reached the parking lot, Li MO opened the car door and was about to help Huo Xunzhou into the car.
“Sorry to trouble you, Miss Lin.”
Just as Lin Shanchu was about to say “no sweat” , someone else interrupted her.
“No sweat.”
Lin Shanchu and Li MO looked at Huo Xunzhou in unison.
He Xiang drove over.
She got out of the car and whispered to Lin Shanchu, “Sister Lin, can we go now?”
“We’ll be leaving now.” Lin Shanchu looked at Li Mo.
Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand and asked, “Where are you going?”
Lin Shanchu hesitated for a moment but did not pull her hand back. “…I’m going home. ”
“I want to go home too.” Huo Xunzhou looked up at her with sparkling eyes.
Lin Shanchu thought of a newborn puppy.
Some people looked cold and serious on the surface, but when they were drunk, they would become docile like puppies.
“Get in the car then.” Lin Shanchu’s voice unconsciously softened. Huo Xunzhou continued to hold her hand and said, “Take me home.”
Lin Shanchu speculated that he would not let go of her hand if she did not agree to take him home.
She turned to He Xiang and said, “You may go back first.” Li MO said immediately, “Miss Lin, I’ll take you home later.”
“Alright.” Only then did He Xiang leave with relief.
Huo Xunzhou was satisfied. Smiling, he held the car door for Lin Shanchu and said excitedly, “Shanshan, get in the car.” Lin Shanchu helplessly got into the car.
Then, Huo Xunzhou also got into the car.
After he got into the car, he leaned lazily against the seat and slightly lowered his eyes so that no one could see the look in his eyes. Lin Shanchu recalled the way he rubbed his temples.
“Does your head hurt?”
Huo Xunzhou shook his head and nodded.
After Li MO put the wheelchair away, he came over to drive the car.
When he started the car, he looked back through the rearview mirror.
Lin Shanchu smiled at him, indicating that he could rest assured.
When the car started, Lin Shanchu looked out of the window and saw Xia Jinmeng helping Lu Shiyuan into the car.
Lin Shanchu looked at it thoughtfully for a moment before taking out her phone to text Wen Huan on WeChat.
Lin Shanchu: [Where are you?]
Wen Huan: [I’m trying to get a scoop of a big scandal. I heard that an old artist and a young actress have checked in at the hotel here. [photo]]
The attached photo showed the entrance of a hotel.
Lin Shanchu: [Why are you waiting at this late hour?]
Wen Huan: [I don’t think they will come out tonight. I’m going back to the car to sleep while waiting for them. Why are you looking for me?]
Lin Shanchu: [Do you want a scoop of the scandal between an entertainment company boss with a fiancée and his female artist?]
Wen Huan: [You mean Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng? Of course! Where are these two people? I’ll go now!]
Lin Shanchu sent Lu Shiyuan’s license plate number and home address to Wen Huan.
Lin Shanchu: [They might not go home. You should go and block their way.]
Wen Huan: [0K.]
Both Xia Jinmeng and Lu Shiyuan had drunk quite a bit. If something did not happen soon, either Xia Jinmeng or Lu Shiyuan would be useless.
Lin Shanchu put her phone back into her bag and sensed the person beside her looking at her.
She turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou staring at her without blinking.
“Are you alright?” she asked Huo Xunzhou.
“Whom did you send WeChat messages to?” Huo Xunzhou asked.
“Wen Huan,” Lin Shanchu said honestly.
Huo Xunzhou pondered for a moment. It was unknown what he was thinking, but then he looked up at her and said, “I’ve looked for him.” Lin Shanchy unconsciously tightened the grip on her bag.
What was coming would come.
She looked away. “He told me about it.”
“I already know about the medicine.”
His tone sounded very sober, not like a drunk person at all.
Lin Shanchu suddenly realized that he had tricked her into getting into the car to talk to her about this matter.
Lin Shanchu sighed softly and did not say anything.
She did not know what to say.
“When did you find out?” Huo Xunzhou asked again.
“On the day we first met at the hospital.” At this point, she had nothing to hide.
Huo Xunzhou recalled the scene from that day.
On that day, she squatted in front of him and begged him desperately.
It was the first time he was so glad that he had lent her a helping hand and interfered in this matter.
After a while, Huo Xunzhou said hoarsely, “Stop the car..”
