Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The servants at the side were shocked by Lin Shanchu’s words. They quickly broke out in a cold sweat.
She had just stabbed Lu Shiyuan with a wine bottle until he was covered in blood, and yet she was still in the mood for dinner.
This kind of psychological endurance was so strong that it was frightening.
Tang Qidai accompanied Lu Shiyuan to the hospital.
After the servants cleaned up the messy dining room, they went to prepare dinner for Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu remembered the system that had not come out much recently.”Hey idiot, come out.”
The system acknowledged her by responding, [Coming…]
Lin Shanchu asked, “Why are you speaking like this? Did a virus infect you?”
The system replied, [No… my… condition… is… slightly… unstable… for… now…]
Lin Shanchu was confused.
The system elaborated, [That’s because… your persona… is completely ruined… so my condition… worsens as well…]
Lin Shanchu didn’t feel anything for the system at all. She even teased it mercilessly. “Why are you this useless?”
The system was speechless.
It quickly calmed down. [You’ve already seen for yourself that the male lead won’t die so easily. Do you want to change your method?]
“What method?” Lin Shanchu asked.
[For example, you can pretend to be submissive to the male lead, then expose Tang Qidai and make him regret his actions!] the system suggested.
Lin Shanchu snorted. “So you mean you want me to go through the plot of the original novel and let Lu Shiyuan humiliate and trample all over me? ”
The system exclaimed, [Precisely!]
Lin Shanchu sneered in response. “Do I look like I’m stupid? Why would I offer myself on a silver platter to him and let him abuse me?”
[Your persona…] the system said feebly.
Lin Shanchu interjected, “It’s either Lu Shiyuan or me. One of us must die!”
The system was speechless.
She was crazy.
She was seriously out of her mind.
The female lead of a sadistic novel chose not to take the relationship route. Instead, all she wanted to do was to inflict violence.
The system was all torn up on the inside, but it was unable to divulge its feelings to anyone else.
It felt that every code in its being was already numb. It could only ask humbly, [Why don’t you just date someone?]
Lin Shanchu just chuckled in response.
The system didn’t say anything. It didn’t dare to guess the thoughts of the insane female lead.
This useless system was really useless.
Lin Shanchu did not expect it to help her out.
She blocked it in her mind immediately.
…
Lu Shiyuan did not return home that night.
When the servants at home saw Lin Shanchu, they avoided her like she was poisonous.
Human nature was despicable.
They were good at bullying the weak.
Once she grew stronger and more ruthless than them, they became afraid of her.
Lin Shanchu felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
It was as if she had opened the door to a new world.
It turned out that living recklessly made her very happy.
Before she went to bed, she posted on Weibo once again.
Actress Lin Shanchu: [There will be a livestream at three in the afternoon tomorrow. The location is at the Lu Corporation.]
She had gained a lot of fans in the past two days.
Now, she had more than 100,000 fans, all of whom were active.
The moment she posted on Weibo, her fans all became active.
[Will there be another lucky draw on tomorrow’s livestream?]
[If you’re livestreaming in the Lu Corporation tomorrow, will we have a chance to meet Xiao Fu?]
[Pretty lady, we want to see Fu Jue!]
[I can’t wait for the livestream! Many of my favorite celebrities are managed by that company!]
Fu Jue was a new rising star.
He was a celebrity under the Lu Corporation.
He made his debut as an idol last year. He also became the top idol attracting the most fans who spent money on him.
He was quite good at his job as well, so he maintained his popularity for more than a year.
…
The next day.
Lin Shanchu got up early in the morning.
After leaving Lu Manor, she went straight to a famous law firm in Xu City.
“Ms. Lin?”
Lin Shanchu was recognized by the receptionist as soon as she entered.
Be it attending the cocktail party with Huo Xunzhou or hosting a lucky draw with a 30 million dollar vase on a livestream, Lin Shanchu’s antics were known by the entire city.
She was now a hot topic in Xu City.
“Hello,” she said. Lin Shanchu’s lips curled upward, revealing a pure and harmless smile.
The receptionist sized her up with wide eyes, and a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes. “How may I help you?”
Lin Shanchu explained, “I want to find a lawyer who’s good at dealing with property disputes.”
“Our boss is the best at property disputes. He’s here right now. I’ll lead you to his office.”
“Alright,” she agreed.
Lin Shanchu had come prepared. The boss of this firm was called Chu Gushen.
He was an ace lawyer in the industry.
Later on, he became Huo Xunzhou’s legal counsel.
Lin Shanchu’s luck was quite good today.
“Boss, we have a client!”
The receptionist knocked on the door.
Chu Gushen was sitting at his desk while going through some documents.
Upon hearing this, he raised his head and looked over.
The man’s facial features were very defined. He emitted a cold and aloof aura due to his career’s requirements. The silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose reduced his coldness a little, making him look refined and stoic.
“Lawyer Chu.” Lin Shanchu walked in.
“Please take a seat.” Chu Gushen sized her up without saying anything. “”Ms. Lin, which area do you need legal consultation on?”
Lin Shanchu explained,”I’d like to set up my will.”
Chu Gushen’s face turned serious, though a flicker of surprise flashed through his eyes. He started to study her carefully.
He didn’t know Lin Shanchu at first.
However, in the past two days, the news of Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée livestreaming her lucky draw and giving away a 30 million dollar vase had gone viral.
Even the interns in the firm were all discussing this matter.
When he turned on his computer, news related to Lin Shanchu popped up. He clicked on it and saw a picture of her.
She was prettier in person than in the photo, but she also looked weaker in comparison. She still resembled a young student.
Her eyes were round and bright, giving her a naive and innocent look.
However, she was here to set up her will.
Chu Gushen was a professional man. He was curious, but he didn’t ask much.
After he explained the process to Lin Shanchu, he began to discuss the details with her.
“Who will be the designated inheritor in your will, Ms. Lin?”
Chu Gushen couldn’t help but raise his head to look at the girl when he didn’t get a reply from her.
Lin Shanchu lowered her eyes and fixed her gaze on a certain spot, as if she was in a daze.
She was thinking about who she should nominate as the inheritor of her will.
Her only relative in this world was her uncle.
However, in the novel, that uncle was killed by Lu Shiyuan in the end.
If her death didn’t cause the world to collapse, would her uncle become Lu Shiyuan’s next target once he obtained her shares of the Lu Corporation?
Having waited for a while, Chu Gushen couldn’t help but drop a reminder. “Ms. Lin?”
“My uncle, Lin Suguang, will receive all of my cash. Transfer the shares to Huo Xunzhou.”
Lin Shanchu raised her head, her eyes bright and clear.
“What?” Chu Gushen, who had gone through a lot in his career, couldn’t help but look shocked.
Lin Shanchu repeated slowly, “I said, Huo Xunzhou will be the inheritor of my will.”
Huo Xunzhou was the one who had helped her.
He was also someone who could protect her inheritance.
…
She gave Chu Gushen full authority to deal with the will.
It was lunchtime when they finished their discussion.
Chu Gushen had a lunch appointment, so he headed out as well.
The two of them walked out of the law firm together. After walking for a while, they ended up heading toward the same restaurant.
“I have a lunch appointment here,” Chu Gushen explained.
Lin Shanchu’s lips curved into a smile, indicating that she understood.
“Big Brother, the stew here is really delicious!”
A familiar voice came from behind.
At the same time, she also felt a gaze that she could not ignore.
She pursed her lips and decided not to turn back.
However, the people behind her did not let her go.
“Ms. Lin.”
