Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening

Chapter 9

In the car, Lin Shanchu was still thinking about this matter.

“Li Mo, drive Ms. Lin home first.”

It was not until Huo Xunzhou’s voice rang that Lin Shanchu regained her senses.

The driver’s cold voice drifted from the front row. “Miss Lin, where do you live?”

Lin Shanchu decided to accept the nice gesture. She then told Li Mo the address of the hotel.

Li Mo looked at her in surprise.

It was as if everyone had assumed that she should be staying at the Lu residence.

…

At the entrance of the hotel.

When Lin Shanchu got out of the car and closed the door behind her, she realized that Huo Xunzhou was looking at her.

It looked like he had something to say to her.

“What is it, Mr. Huo?” Lin Shanchu asked.

Huo Xunzhou was silent for a moment. “Be careful when you go out during this period of time.”

He had shown his face at the reception today, and Lin Shanchu was his female companion. In the following period of time, the paparazzi would definitely think of ways to interview her and secretly take pictures of her.

Lin Shanchu immediately understood what he meant.

“This might be a good thing for me.”

She held onto the car door, her red dress swaying in the night breeze. The smile on her face was extraordinarily flirtatious.

Huo Xunzhou only retracted his gaze after Lin Shanchu’s figure disappeared.

Li Mo looked at him through the rearview mirror with a complicated expression. “Big brother, do you like this kind of devilish woman?”

“If you don’t want to drive for me, just say so,” Huo Xunzhou replied.

“Of course not!” Li Mo immediately started the car obediently.

The car had not gone far when Li Mo suddenly thought of something. He asked, “Big brother, why did you suddenly want to attend the party? Didn’t you plan to wait a little longer?”

“I don’t know.” Huo Xunzhou turned to look out the window.

“Huh?” Li Mo was shocked.

He found it difficult to believe that these words came from Huo Xunzhou’s mouth.

He was meticulous and cautious. How could there be anything he didn’t know?

Huo Xunzhou’s hands were crossed on his knees as he looked out the window with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He was telling Li Mo the truth.

He didn’t know why he was here either.

This was not part of his plan.

It was as if an invisible force was guiding him to attend this cocktail party.

…

Lin Shanchu walked into the hotel, playing with her phone as she walked.

When she opened Weibo, she was stuck for a while before she was able to enter the homepage.

The homepage recommendations were all related to Huo Xunzhou.

She guessed that Huo Xunzhou had something to do with the Weibo lag.

As expected of Huo Xunzhou’s popularity. He had only shown his face, and yet Weibo’s servers collapsed because of it.

The trending list was occupied by Huo Xunzhou.

#Huo Xunzhou appears at the cocktail party in a wheelchair #viral

#Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu #hot

#Huo Xunzhou’s teacher

#The breathtaking god of the entertainment industry has returned

As someone with low popularity, Lin Shanchu was lucky enough to be on the trending list as well.

This was probably the peak of her career so far.

Lin Shanchu scrolled back and saw Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai trending at the end of the list.

#Tang Qidai accompanies Lu Shiyuan to a cocktail party

How could these two people compare to the influence of the breathtaking god, known as the best actor in the entertainment industry?

Lin Shanchu returned to her Weibo homepage and found that the number of fans she had, which was previously four digits, now rose to five digits.

And it was still rising rapidly.

Every time she refreshed the page, the number of her fans would increase.

Lin Shanchu was extremely envious.

When would she become as famous as Huo Xunzhou?

“Ms. Lin.”

Lin Shanchu looked up and saw the hotel manager standing in front of her.

“Is there something wrong?” She asked.

“Ms. Lin, our hotel received a notice at the last minute that we need to go through some changes. We can’t receive guests for the time being. Please check out and find another place to stay.”

Lin Shanchu looked at the newly renovated lobby. “What sort of changes?”

The manager’s eyes flickered. “I don’t know the exact details, but don’t worry. We’ll give you a full refund.”

The moment she heard this, Lin Shanchu already understood what was going on.

The so-called changes were a lie. Lu Shiyuan was the one who was messing around.

He had ordered her to apologize to Tang Qidai before nightfall.

She didn’t do as he said.

Hence, Lu Shiyuan was now dealing with her.

Lin Shanchu replied coldly, “Got it. Where’s my stuff?”

The manager immediately brought her case over. “Ms. Lin, you can check the inventory. If there aren’t any mistakes, we’ll deal with the checkout procedure right now.”

…

Lightning and thunder were present as soon as Lin Shanchu left the hotel.

Heavy rain poured down from the sky.

The system, which hadn’t said much the whole night, finally reared its head.

It said, [Lu Shiyuan has informed all the hotels in Xu City to turn you away. What do you plan to do now?]

Lin Shanchu stared at the rain. “There’s nothing else I can do now except to follow the plot.”

[Are you not going to fight back?] the system asked.

Lin Shanchu asked, “Does a system like you have split personalities? You advised me to follow the plot, but now that I’m going to do that, you actually want me to fight back?”

The system replied, [I’m just afraid that you might cause trouble.]

Lin Shanchu replied, “Huo Xunzhou is not working with me. What trouble can I cause?”

The system agreed, [That’s true.]

Lin Shanchu took a taxi and returned to the Lu manor.

Along the way, she kept haggling with the system.

Lin Shanchu argued, “I’ve already followed the plot and returned to the Lu manor. Shouldn’t I be rewarded? ”

The system replied, [We’ll talk more after you’ve returned.]

They arrived at the entrance of the Lu family home.

Lin Shanchu demanded, “Reward, please.”

The system relented. [One-time painless card x1.]

Lin Shanchu asked, “What’s the function of this card?”

The system replied, [It’s literally the name.”

Lin Shanchu was about to continue asking when she heard the system say, [Lu Shiyuan is coming downstairs right now.]

Only then did she realize that she had already entered the hall.

Lu Shiyuan was coming down from upstairs.

When he saw Lin Shanchu, there was a flash of joy in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger.

“Turns out you still know when to come back!”

“I have no choice. After all, President Lu has so much power and influence. If I don’t come back, I’ll have to sleep on the streets,” Lin Shanchu retorted coldly.

If it was the Lin Shanchu of the past, she would have apologized to him meekly by now.

Lu Shiyuan walked up to her with a dark expression. “Why didn’t you ask that cripple Huo Xunzhou to take you in? Is he already tired of toying with you?”

When she heard Huo Xunzhou’s name come out of Lu Shiyuan’s mouth, Lin Shanchu felt disgusted for on Huo Xunzhou’s behalf.

“Huo Xunzhou isn’t as filthy as you!”

“Or perhaps are you saying that he’s not good enough in bed?”

Lu Shiyuan’s voice was frighteningly soft.

It was like a venomous snake licking her skin, making Lin Shanchu’s hairs stand on their ends.

She really wanted to run, but she realized that her body was stiff and that she couldn’t move.

She began to tremble uncontrollably as well.

After all these years, her fear of Lu Shiyuan had caused her body to react instinctively.

Lin Shanchu clenched her fists.

Her nails scratched against her palms forcefully and drew blood as a way to force herself not to be afraid and retreat.

“Even if Huo Xunzhou is sexually inept, there are still people who love him for who he is. You’re just a worm in the gutter; you don’t deserve anyone’s love!”

Almost immediately, Lu Shiyuan raised his palm.

Lin Shanchu couldn’t move her body. She could only stare at him with wide eyes.

She suddenly understood the function of the painless card that the system had rewarded her with.

Thus, she called out to the system in her mind.

“Use the painless experience card!”
