Chapter 276 - 276: It Was Neither a Questioning Tone, Nor Did He Give Her a Chance Refuse

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Oh,” Lin Shanchu said casually, as if she did not care at all.

Lu Shiyuan was suspicious.

Lin Shanchu’s reaction was too calm. Shouldn’t she be angry?

However, on second thought, it was natural that Lin Shanchu could not lose her temper in front of so many people here and she could only endure it for now.

Thinking of this, Lu Shiyuan felt happy again.

Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng sitting together attracted the attention of the others.

After the two of them sat down, the surrounding people began to whisper about them.

“Lu Shiyuan isn’t showing any respect for Lin Shanchu.” “Didn’t Lin Shanchu come with Best Actor Huo?”

“No, the two of them came one after the other…”

“Alec’s injury hasn’t recovered yet. If he recovers, he will probably come with

Lin Shanchu.”

“In my opinion, Xia Jinmeng leads a charmed life…” I know, right..

Lin Shanchu heard all of their conversations.

She did not know whether Xia Jinmeng led a charmed life or not.

However, Xia Jinmeng should be credited for making Lu Shiyuan bring her along to the ceremony and sit with him today.

After the ceremony ended, the brand owner even arranged a thank-you banquet.

This kind of thank-you banquet was a good occasion to expand one’s social circle and make friends, so many people stayed to attend the banquet.

On the other hand, Lin Shanchu attended the banquet because she was idle and had no work to do.

As soon as she entered the banquet hall, Huo Xunzhou followed her.

She looked at Huo Xunzhou in surprise.

Didn’t Huo Chaosheng say that he was very busy?

He actually had the leisure to attend such a banquet to pass time?

Li MO stepped forward and said politely, “Miss Lin, Big Brother doesn’t have a female companion. Sorry to bother you.”

It was neither a questioning tone, nor did he give her a chance to refuse.

Li MO left after saying that.

Lin Shanchu walked behind Huo Xunzhou and pushed his wheelchair into the hall.

Huo Xunzhou even made a request to her. “Walk slower.” Lin Shanchu patiently slowed down her pace. After a few steps, Huo Xunzhou said, “I want champagne.”

Lin Shanchu beckoned for the waiter to come over.

She took a glass of champagne from the waiter’s tray and gave it to Huo Xunzhou. When she turned around to get another glass for herself, she heard the man say softly, “Can you drink wine?”

Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and met Huo Xunzhou’s emotionless face.

She felt inexplicably guilty under Huo Xunzhou’s gaze and forcefully retracted her hand.

Huo Xunzhou was satisfied.

IVIOSt or tne people at tne Danquet were rrom tne entertainment maustry ana wanted to strike up a conversation with Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou would respond to anyone who tried to strike up a conversation with him, but his expression was indifferent and the pressure he exuded was still very intimidating. Shortly afterwards, no one dared to strike up a conversation with him.

Quite a few people came to greet Lin Shanchu.

Most of them were female celebrities.

“Lin Shanchu, can we take a photo together?”

“I’ve been following ‘Top Feast’ recently. You’re even more beautiful in person than in the drama.”

“How did you apply the makeup for the selfie you posted on Weibo before? Can you come up with a tutorial next time?”

I’ve rewatched your every stage performance in ‘My Stage’ several times…” Deep down, Lin Shanchu did not really understand it.

Not only were most of her fans women, but even the ones who tried to strike up a conversation with her were female celebrities. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In fact, more female celebrities struck up a conversation with her than with Huo Xunzhou.

The rest of the men who came to strike up a conversation with Lin Shanchu were brand producers and the like who wanted to invite her for collaborations.

Lin Shanchu felt a little tired after dealing with them for a while.

She and Huo Xunzhou sat side by side in the rest area.

She sat on the sofa, whereas Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair.

Huo Xunzhou turned to look at her.

“Let’s go back.”

Lin Shanchu nodded.

“I’ll leave after going to the restroom.”

She stood up and looked at Huo Xunzhou. “Can you do it alone?”

Huo Xunzhou curled his lip slightly and was about to speak, but Lin Shanchu leaned over and asked softly, ‘You drank a few glasses of champagne. Don’t you want to go to the restroom?”

Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment and said coldly, “I don’t want to.”

“Good!”

Yun Wu suddenly ran over from the crowd.

Lin Shanchu asked her, “When did you arrive? I didn’t see you just now.”

“I was behind you guys. I saw that you were busy, so I didn’t come over to disturb you,” Yun Wu said seriously.

If she could wipe the syrup off the corner of her mouth, she would be even more serious.

Yun Wu was most likely busy eating earlier and only came to look for them after she had eaten enough.

Lin Shanchu did not expose her. Instead, she reached out to help her wipe the syrup off the corner of her mouth. “You’re just in time. Stay with your Third Brother for a while. I have to go to the restroom.”

Yun Wu reluctantly forced a smile and nodded vigorously. “Alright.”

Speechless, Lin Shanchu eventually did not ask anything after looking back and forth at Yun Wu and Huo Xunzhou’s faces.

As soon as Lin Shanchu left, the smile on Yun Wu’s face disappeared completely.

“Hmph!” She snorted at Huo Xunzhou and sat down with her arms crossed.

Huo Xunzhou’s expression remained unchanged as he said nonchalantly, ‘Give

Big Brother a call when you have time.”

Yesterday, Yun Yi had called him to complain that Yun Wu had not contacted him for days.

Huo Xunzhou’s words gave Yun Wu an excuse to make a fuss.

“Tell me, I didn’t nave time to call Big Brother. Who caused this”‘ Yun Wu angrily turned her back to Huo Xunzhou, turning her face to face him.

Huo Xunzhou lectured her seriously, “No matter how busy you are with work, you have to keep in touch with your family.” “Don’t you know why I’m busy with work?”

Huo Xunzhou was too shameless!

She Imew that he deliberately arranged so much work for her so that she would not have time to hang out with Lin Shanchu!

Huo Xunzhou’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “1 don’t know much about your group’s work.”

“I know that the company arranged the group’s work! Do you dare to say that you didn’t arrange my personal work?”

“Do you know that I didn’t eat properly in the past few days?” Yun Wu was furious.

Huo Xunzhou cleared his throat as if he finally felt a trace of guilt. “You’re young. You have to work hard and strive.”

“Shanshan is also very young. Why don’t you tell her to strive?”

Huo Xunzhou was stubborn and would never admit that he had deliberately arranged so much work for her because he was jealous that she could hang out with Lin Shanchu.

Huo Xunzhou was silent for a moment before he whispered, “She’s not in good health.”

Yun Wu looked tense and immediately turned around. “Have you taken

Shanshan for a checkup? What’s wrong with her?”

“We’ll talk about this later,” Huo Xunzhou avoided the topic and said, “You should call Big Brother first.”

Lin Shanchu saw Xia Jinmeng as soon as she came out of the restroom. Xia Jinmeng was leaning against the wall, obviously waiting for her to come out..
