Chapter 336 - 336: Why Did You Bring Her Here?
Qi Cheng took a glance and saw the Weibo interface on the phone screen.
“This is neither a major nor minor matter, but still it will affect you to a certain extent. The company has decided to buy you another trending topic to suppress this matter.”
“Don’t waste money.”
Lin Shanchu stood up and stretched her body.
“You…” Qi Cheng looked up and followed her gaze. “What are you up to?”
“Huo Chaosheng did me a great favor. I should treat him to a meal, shouldn’t I?” Lin Shanchu smiled.
Qi Cheng nodded silently.
“Then let’s treat him to a big meal.” Lin Shanchu bent down to pick up her phone and dialed Huo Chaosheng’s number as she walked into the bedroom. “Brother Qi, that person hired Internet trolls to slander Sister Lin again!”
He Xiang ran over quickly with her phone. Seeing Qi Cheng’s thoughtful expression, she waved her hand in front of him.
“Brother Qi?”
Qi Cheng looked up at her and said, “It’s okay. Shanshan will go out and treat Alec to a meal later.”
“Huh?”
“If the two of them have a meal and become trending, won’t the matter be suppressed?”
He Xiang suddenly realized it.
She sat down beside Qi Cheng and asked, “Is Sister Lin treating Teacher Alec like an errand boy?”
Qi Cheng felt that it made sense and nodded subconsciously.
However, he quickly shook his head and denied it. “Friends help each other. What does it have to do with errand boy?”
Lin Shanchu invited Huo Chaosheng to have dinner at the revolving restaurant of Boya Hotel.
“Did you manage to make a reservation?” Qi Cheng asked her.
“Huo Chaosheng has a way,” Lin Shanchu said confidently.
“You treated him to a meal, but you asked him to make a reservation?” Qi Cheng felt that Huo Chaosheng was really gentle and kind. Surprisingly, he had not cut ties with Lin Shanchu even now.
“I’ll just pay for it.” Lin Shanchu tidied her hair and stood up. “Alright, let’s set off.”
On the way to Boya Hotel, Lin Shanchu observed her surroundings.
He Xiang had been with Lin Shanchu for a long time and gradually developed a tacit understanding. She quickly understood what Lin Shanchu was observing. “Sister Lin, stop looking. There are no paparazzi following us.”
Lin Shanchu was a little disappointed. “It’s okay. If there aren’t any paparazzi following us, there will definitely be paparazzi following Huo Chaosheng. We can still become trending.”
She missed Wen Huan a little.
Lin Shanchu sent Wen Huan a WeChat message: [Are you there? Are you busy? What are you busy with?]
Wen Huan quickly replied: [You can be more perfunctory.]
Lin Shanchu: [I really miss you.]
Wen Huan: [Oh.] Lin Shanchu:
He would not believe her even if she told him the truth!
“Sister Lin, we’re here.”
Lin Shanchu heard He Xiang’s voice and locked her phone before getting out of the car.
Huo Chaosheng’s car appeared right in front of them.
When Huo Chaosheng got out of the car with his walking stick, he gestured for Lin Shanchu to help him up. However, Lin Shanchu’s attention was on the paparazzi behind him.
Huo Chaosheng resisted the urge to hit her with his walking stick and said, “Now that you’ve seen the paparazzi, you should at least help me up so that they have something to take photos of!”
Lin Shanchu quickly smiled and went forward to help him up.
Huo Chaosheng handed her his hand and whispered, “Lin Shanchu, you’re such a hypocrite.”
“Hypocrisy is human nature.” Lin Shanchu maintained a smile on her face and reminded him softly, “Also, that’s something you’ve said to me before.” “Really?” Huo Chaosheng frowned and thought carefully.
“You know that I’m a hypocrite, but you’re still so cooperative to come out to dine with me…” After a short pause, Lin Shanchu continued, “Huo Chaosheng, you will suffer losses if you are being so nice to your friend.” Huo Chaosheng did not argue with her, nor did he say anything harsh.
“It’s your ability to make me suffer losses.”
Sometimes, Lin Shanchu really could not understand what Huo Chaosheng was thinking.
Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng deliberately stayed at the entrance of Boya Hotel for a while.
Since the reporters could not enter the restaurant, they could only take a few more photos at the entrance.
When Huo Chaosheng ordered food, he chose the expensive dishes.
As if he was playing a prank, he looked up at Lin Shanchu every time he ordered a dish.
When he saw Lin Shanchu pursing her lip and pretending to be calm despite the expensive dishes, he smiled even more happily.
“The weather is so nice and the scenery is so beautiful. Be happy.”
“I’m very happy.”
Lin Shanchu was expressionless as her lips curved into a professional fake smile.
“Since you’re so happy, let’s order another bottle of wine.” Huo Chaosheng grinned cheerfully.
Lin Shanchu silently picked up the wine list and flipped through it page by page. The most expensive wine was priced at eight digits and there were some unpriced wines that were not for sale.
“Shall we drink this?” Huo Chaosheng excitedly flipped the wine list over and pointed at the wine on it to show Lin Shanchu.
The eight-digit price tag was extremely eye-catching.
She knew that Huo Chaosheng would order the most expensive one.
Lin Shanchu replied, “You… as long as you’re happy.”
“I want a bottle of this wine!” Huo Chaosheng turned his head and called out to the waiter.
Lin Shanchu silently stretched out her hand and pinched her philtrum.
Money was just a worldly possession.
She would earn more after spending it.
“My leg hasn’t recovered yet, so I can’t drink.”
A magnetic male voice came from behind. It was deep, mellow and intoxicating
like a vintage wine.
After a short sentence, the voice quickly dissipated.
Lin Shanchu was stunned and wondered if she had misheard it until Huo Chaosheng looked at the person behind her excitedly.
“Third Brother! When did you come back?”
“Morning.”
The familiar voice sounded again.
Lin Shanchu came to her senses and looked towards the source of the voice. She saw a familiar face.
It had been less than ten days since they last met, but she felt like it was a lifetime ago.
“Third brother, come quickly…” When Huo Chaosheng saw Cheng Fanjing behind Huo Xunzhou, he fell into complete silence, unable to finish his words.
Lin Shanchu looked behind Huo Xunzhou as if she had sensed something. She first saw Li MO pushing the wheelchair. Next, she saw Cheng Fanjing carrying a bag.
Huo Xunzhou and Cheng Fanjing were here for dinner.
The Cheng family and the Huo family wanted to form a marriage alliance, trying to matchmake Huo Xunzhou and Cheng Fanjing together.
Huo Xunzhou was quite cooperative and asked Cheng Fanjing out for dinner as soon as he returned to Capital City.
Huo Chaosheng was annoyed with Cheng Fanjing, so he naturally did not hold back and asked, “Why did you bring her here?”
“Miss Cheng has a name.” Huo Xunzhou’s tone became a little more serious. Huo Chaosheng looked at Cheng Fanjing unwillingly and said, “Miss Cheng.”
“What a coincidence,” Cheng Fanjing said with a smile. “I didn’t expect to see you here. Then let’s have dinner together. The more the merrier.”
After Cheng Fanjing finished speaking, she aggressively sat down next to Huo Chaosheng.
Huo Chaosheng grimaced and was about to lash out at her, but Huo Xunzhou glanced at him. Swallowed his anger, he turned to look out the window without saying a word.
Huo Xunzhou naturally sat beside Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu did not even look him in the eye. She moved further away from him expressionlessly, as if she was unwilling to sit with him..
