Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening-Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Lin Shanchu had no appetite because of her terminal illness.

But she still smiled and responded, “Okay.”

“I watched your livestream.” Nan Mu continued to praise her. “You look really good on camera.”

Lin Shanchu asked, “You even watched my livestream?”

“Everyone watched it. Even Xunzhou watched it.” Nan Mu thought about how he had been so eager to win the lucky draw at that time and felt embarrassed, so he dragged Li Mo and Huo Xunzhou into the conversation.

Lin Shanchu just smiled.

Huo Xunzhou did appear in her first livestream.

“He even watched it for a long time… Ow!” As soon as Nan Mu finished speaking, Huo Xunzhou kicked him from under the table.

Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou.

She saw Huo Xunzhou put the last potato slice on the plate into his own bowl and ate it with the rice emotionlessly.

It was as if he didn’t hear them at all.

…

On the other side, Lu Shiyuan was looking for his mother’s belongings in the ashes of the burned ruins.

“The police were here before. They said that the fire started in your study, so this is where the fire was the most severe.”

The elderly butler stayed by his side and helped him look for something in the ashes.

After Lu Shiyuan heard what he said, he smiled gloomily. “I see.”

“Brother Shiyuan.”

Tang Qidai’s voice came from afar.

“Qidai, why have you come?” Lu Shiyuan quickly got up and walked toward her.

“I heard that there was a fire at your house, so I immediately rushed over.” Tang Qidai furrowed her brows and asked worriedly, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Lu Shiyuan’s eyes stared at the possible location of the study room in the ruins.

“How did it get burned like this…”

Tang Qidai followed his line of sight, her eyes flickering. “Then, are Aunt’s relics also…”

She paused for a moment.

Lu Shiyuan’s expression told her that his mother’s belongings had all been burned to nothing.

“Brother Shiyuan, don’t be sad. Aunt’s spirit won’t blame you. After all, this was just an accident.”

“It wasn’t an accident.”

Lu Shiyuan’s voice was dark.

“What?” Tang Qidai’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Are you saying that someone set Lu Manor on fire?”

She remembered Lin Shanchu’s recent crazy antics and probed, “Could it be… Shanshan?”

Tang Qidai was used to observing Lu Shiyuan’s emotional changes.

She could feel that Lu Shiyuan’s aura became much sharper after she mentioned Lin Shanchu.

“Is it really Shanshan?” Tang Qidai revealed a look of disbelief before asking with concern, “Where did she go? Is she alright?”

“She’s doing very well,” Lu Shiyuan sneered.

“How could Shanshan do such a foolish thing? Doesn’t she know how important Aunt’s belongings are to you?” Tang Qidai’s tone was as understanding as she could be.

“I seriously don’t understand what Shanshan is thinking. How could she do such an outrageous thing?”

Lu Shiyuan sighed slightly. “Qidai, I’ve told you long ago that it’s useless to reason with Lin Shanchu. If she had half of your kindness, she wouldn’t have caused so much trouble!”

Tang Qidai lowered her eyes slightly to hide the smugness in her eyes.

When she raised her head again, her eyes were filled with concern. “Brother Shiyuan, Shanshan wasn’t like this when she was young. She’s done so many things that made us sad recently. Could it be because she’s sick?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ve watched a foreign movie before. The main character in the movie was diagnosed with a mental illness, and his personality changed drastically. He often did some strange things.”

She softened her voice and guided Lu Shiyuan in a bewitching manner. “Do you think it’s possible that Shanshan is sick, which prompted her to be like this?”

Lu Shiyuan recalled Lin Shanchu’s recent actions.

Compared to before, her temperament had indeed changed greatly, as if she was a completely different person.

Whether it was Lin Shanchu hosting a livestream and fighting with Tang Qidai’s fans or placing a 30 million dollar vase as the prize of a lucky draw, it was something she would never do in the past.

Seeing that Lu Shiyuan had already taken her words seriously, Tang Qidai continued, “Why don’t we send Shanshan to an asylum for treatment?”

“This time, she set the house on fire. Fortunately, she didn’t get injured. But what if there’s a next time? She might not be so lucky every time, right?”

“Asylum?” Lu Shiyuan looked a little hesitant.

“We’re doing this for her own good. If we don’t care about her, who else will?” Tang Qidai continued.

After a long while, Lu Shiyuan nodded. “You’re right. We can’t just leave her like this.”

Tang Qidai gently hugged his arm and consoled him. “One day, Shan Shan will understand our good intentions.”

Once Lin Shanchu was admitted to the asylum, it didn’t matter if she was sick or not.

As long as the doctor said she was sick, she had to be treated in the asylum.

At that time, even if Lin Shanchu was not sick, she would be driven crazy.

When that happened, the position of President Lu’s wife from the Lu Corporation would be hers!

Lin Shanchu, that little orphaned b*tch, should have been eliminated long ago!

…

After being kicked by Huo Xunzhou, Nan Mu became quiet.

He wanted to leave after the meal but was called back by Huo Xunzhou.

“Do the dishes.”

Nan Mu had already run to the door, but he was forced to come back dejectedly to clear the table and do the dishes.

Li Mo was more self-aware. Without waiting for Huo Xunzhou to say anything, he went into the kitchen to do the dishes.

Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou sat in the living room.

They didn’t speak, but they didn’t feel awkward.

This was because Lin Shanchu was busy thinking about where she should go next so that she wouldn’t be found by Lu Shiyuan before she joined the production crew of ‘My Stage’.

Nan Mu said that she would be able to join the production crew by next week.

However, it was only the weekend.

If she could only join the production crew next weekend, she would have to find a place where she could stay for a week.

She had already seen Lu Shiyuan’s ability for herself.

Previously, she had refused to apologize to Tang Qidai. She ended up getting chased out of the hotel.

“Lu Shiyuan is still looking for you,” Huo Xunzhou said suddenly. “Where do you plan to go next?”

Lin Shanchu felt that he was probably in a good mood after eating, so he took the initiative to ask her about this.

“I haven’t thought about it,” Lin Shanchu replied.

Huo Xunzhou did not say anything else.

It was as if he had just mentioned it casually and had no intention of helping her.

In the entire novel, Huo Xunzhou was actually the only person who could compete with Lu Shiyuan.

She had really reached a point where she had no other way out.

She did just burn down Lu Shiyuan’s house and his mother’s belongings. He would definitely make her life a living hell.

“Why don’t you take me in as a gesture of goodwill, Brother Xunzhou?”

Before Lin Shanchu opened her mouth, she made mental preparations on the inside.

Even though she spoke in a joking tone, she could not hide the nervousness in her voice.
