Chapter 16

Perhaps it was due to Lin Shanchu’s calm tone that Lu Shiyuan was able to suppress his temper a little.

“Let’s have dinner together tonight. Go ahead and invite Qidai. The three of us should have a good chat.”

“Alright.”

Lin Shanchu hung up the phone. “Sir, can you wait for me? I want to buy some medicine.”

…

At night.

When Lu Shiyuan returned home with Tang Qidai, Lin Shanchu was already sitting at the dining table.

The servants had prepared a scrumptious meal on the table. There was an open bottle of wine on it as well.

Lu Shiyuan’s head was still bandaged up. Tang Qidai walked beside him and smiled as she spoke to him. He would reply to her from time to time with a calm expression.

The scene looked very harmonious.

If they were to be together like this, it would be fine.

But they didn’t.

They just had to torture her.

“You’re here.”

Lin Shanchu looked at the two of them with a smile.

It was still that familiar face, but Tang Qidai felt that Lin Shanchu’s smile was a little sinister.

Tang Qidai suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and pretended to be friendly with Lin Shanchu. “Shanshan, you’ve been waiting for a long time, haven’t you? Brother Shiyuan could have come back earlier, but he took a detour to pick me up. Hence, our arrival was late.”

He deliberately took a detour to pick her up.

How considerate of him.

Tang Qidai provoked her on purpose to make her angry and lose her temper so that Lu Shiyuan could loathe her more.

But Lin Shanchu’s expression was surprisingly calm.

“Oh.”

Her nonchalant attitude made Tang Qidai feel like a clown.

Lin Shanchu stood up and picked up the wine bottle as if nothing had happened.

“Let me pour you some wine.”

She poured Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai each a glass of wine.

Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai looked at each other. They were a little surprised by Lin Shanchu’s attitude.

“Why aren’t you drinking? Are you afraid that I might poison you?” She poured herself a glass as well.

Her slender fair fingers gently swirled the wine glass, and her cat-like eyes squinted slightly because of her smile. Her natural charm was even more intoxicating than the wine in her hand.

Lu Shiyuan was stunned by the visage.

He was the male lead, so he was naturally attracted to Lin Shanchu.

Tang Qidai’s expression changed the moment she noticed this. “Brother Shiyuan, Shanshan is really good at joking. Don’t you think so? ”

Lu Shiyuan suddenly came back to his senses and brought the glass to his lips.

Just as he was about to drink, his phone suddenly rang.

When he reached for his phone, he accidentally knocked over the glass, thus spilling the wine.

“Oh dear, Brother Shiyuan…” When Tang Qidai stood up and tried to wipe the wine stains off Lu Shiyuan’s clothes, she accidentally knocked over her own glass of red wine.

Having witnessed this scene, Lin Shanchu’s expression became cold.

The system said, [ I’ve said it before. The male lead won’t die so easily. The same goes for the important supporting female lead too.]

“It’s fine. I’m going out to take a call,” Lu Shiyuan said to Tang Qidai comfortingly.

After Lu Shiyuan left, Tang Qidai dropped her facade in front of Lin Shanchu.

“Lin Shanchu, do you seriously think that Brother Shiyuan will return to your side just because you pretend to be obedient? Stop dreaming!” she sneered coldly.

“The reason why Lu Shiyuan still refuses to cancel his engagement with me is that you’re too useless.” Lin Shanchu’s voice was calm and disdainful.

“What?” Tang Qidai asked.

Lin Shanchu continued, “Your acting skills are sh*tty, and you still can’t handle Lu Shiyuan. You’ve plotted so many times against me, and yet I still stand here. Tang Qidai, you’re just a piece of trash who has achieved nothing in life!”

“Lin Shanchu, who do you think you’re scolding?!” Tang Qidai was so angry that she stood up from her chair.

Lin Shanchu’s face was calm. “I’m scolding you. You’re trash!”

Tang Qidai was so angry that she picked up the glass beside her and threw it at Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu tilted her head.

Smash!

“Qidai!”

The sound of the glass falling to the ground sounded almost at the same time as Lu Shiyuan’s voice.

Tang Qidai pinched her thigh, making her eyes turn red.

“I’m sorry, Brother Shiyuan. I was just too angry … Shanshan… Shanshan actually said that I deserve to be scolded!”

Tang Qidai was actually quite pretty since she was able to start her career in the entertainment industry. When she cried, she also looked very pitiful.

Lu Shiyuan frowned and gently wiped Tang Qidai’s tears away. After sitting her down, he looked up at Lin Shanchu.

“Apologize to Qidai!”

He did not even ask Lin Shanchu anything. By then, he had completely believed Tang Qidai’s words.

Lin Shanchu did not move.

Lu Shiyuan was even more furious.

“Servants!”

The elderly butler immediately brought the servants over.

“Young master, what happened?”

“Drag her here and have her apologize to Qidai!”

Tang Qidai snuggled up in Lu Shiyuan’s arms. She cast a smug look at Lin Shanchu from everyone’s blind spots.

The elderly butler hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn’t dare to speak up for Lin Shanchu. He motioned for the servants to go grab her.

Lin Shanchu rose to her feet immediately.

She grabbed the bottle of red wine in front of her and smashed it against the corner of the table.

Bam!

The bottom of the bottle broke, and the red wine inside spilled all over the floor.

She climbed up to the table nimbly, grabbed the bottleneck, and pointed at the people below her with the sharp ends directed at them. Her voice was as cold as frost.

“Come here if you dare!”

Her eyes, which were as gentle as a cat’s, were now as sharp as a blade. They were filled with killing intent and a thirst for blood.

She was like a goddess of war.

No matter who stood in her way, be it mortal or god, she would strike them down immediately.

The people present had been with Lin Shanchu for a long time and knew her persona like the back of their hands.

The Lin Shanchu in front of them was so unfamiliar that she seemed to be another person.

Tang Qidai, who was originally pleased with herself, was also shocked by Lin Shanchu’s aura.

She leaned into Lu Shiyuan’s side.

This time, it wasn’t an act. She was truly afraid of her.

Lu Shiyuan’s face darkened. “I only asked you to apologize to Qidai. How dare you point this at me!”

His face was filled with the fury of his authority being challenged.

Lin Shanchu jumped down from the dining table.

She pushed Tang Qidai away from Lu Shiyuan’s embrace.

Raising the bottle, she aimed it at Lu Shiyuan’s heart before stabbing down ruthlessly.

The blood splattered on Lin Shanchu’s fair wrist became decorations.

Those stains looked frighteningly beautiful on her.

At the same time, it was eerie and terrifying.

She was like a demon that had crawled out of hell.

“Ah!”

Tang Qidai shrieked in fear.

“Brother Shiyuan, are you alright?”

“Lin Shanchu, are you crazy?!”

“What are you standing around for? Hurry up and call the police!”

Lin Shanchu coldly glanced at Tang Qidai.

Tang Qidai shivered and hid behind Lu Shiyuan in fear.

Lin Shanchu retracted her gaze and looked at Lu Shiyuan. “If you dare to call the police, I’ll sell all of my shares in the Lu Corporation to someone else.”

15% of the shares was not a small amount.

If it was sold to someone with ill intentions, it would cause a huge commotion in the Lu Corporation.

Lu Shiyuan could only clench his teeth and take the loss.

“Don’t call the police.”

His words were directed at Tang Qidai, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Shanchu.

It was as if he could not wait to skin her alive and suck her bone marrow.

Lin Shanchu returned to the table and put the bottle aside.

She carefully tidied her clothes before speaking slowly. “Grandpa Xu, please fix a new plate of dinner for me.”
