Lin Shanchu turned her head to Lu Shiyuan and was about to speak, but someone beat her to it.
“The netizens know that Shanshan and my brother are friends. President Lu, do you think it’s too much for friends to have eye contact?”
Tilting his head, Huo Xunzhou looked past Lin Shanchu and gazed at Lu Shiyuan without a trace of friendliness.
“Friends?” Lu Shiyuan sneered. “Mr. Huo, your ability to ignore what’s important and focus on the trifles is amazing!”
Huo Xunzhou’s gaze was as sharp as a blade. “President Lu, it’s much worse than your ability to measure other people’s corn by your own bushel.”
He was mocking Lu Shiyuan for thinking that Lin Shanchu was having an affair with Huo Chaosheng when he himself also had an affair with another woman. The camera happened to sweep across their area at this moment.
The audience only saw Huo Xunzhou and Lu Shiyuan confronting each other, but they could not hear what they were saying.
[I’m so anxious. What are they talking about?]
[Give me the link. I want to top up the money. I want to hear what Best Actor Huo and the disgusting said! Argh!]
[Best Actor Huo looks so calm, but the disgusting man looks angry. So, Best Actor Huo must have won this round!]
Lin Shanchu, who was sandwiched between the two of them, pursed her lips. It took her tremendous self-control to suppress the urge to laugh.
Huo Xunzhou was childish and vicious when he was serious.
Lu Shiyuan’s face was full of forbearance. “Huo Xunzhou, this is between me and Lin Shanchu. It’s not your place to meddle in our affair.” Huo Xunzhou said calmly, “I’m in charge of Shanshan’s affairs.”
Lin Shanchu’s phone vibrated again.
Huo Chaosheng: [My Third Brother unconditionally accepts the people he loves. Now, he even wants to interfere in your affairs [Proud.jpg]]
Lin Shanchu:
She did not understand him, but she was shocked.
She started to sympathize with Huo Chaosheng.
Huo Xunzhou must be a brainwashing master!
Huo Chaosheng was completely fooled by Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou was really scary.
The atmosphere was tense and a conflict would break out at any moment.
Lin Shanchu leaned back lazily in her chair, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
Lu Shiyuan was so concerned about his dignity that he only dared to say a few words, but he did not dare to start a fight for real.
Therefore, she was not worried at all.
In Lu Shiyuan’s eyes, Lin Shanchu’s attitude was no different from acquiescing to the ambiguous relationship between her and Huo Xunzhou.
Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth and stared at Huo Xunzhou. He then said harshly, “Actually, I admire crippled people with a strong will like you. You can’t even take care of your own body, yet you still want to meddle in other people’s affairs. ”
Furious, he resorted to a personal attack because he was embarrassed that he could not win in the argument.
Lin Shanchu snorted.
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was filled with disdain and just enough to be heard by Lu Shiyuan.
On the other side, Huo Chaosheng had been quietly listening to the conversation between Lu Shiyuan and Huo Xunzhou.
He turned his head to look at Lu Shiyuan and said coldly, “Do you also want to experience the feeling of being crippled?”
Lin Shanchu’s expression froze as she looked up at Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou’s expression was indifferent without any noticeable emotions.
Huo Chaosheng was very protective of Huo Xunzhou, but she could not see through Huo Xunzhou’s real attitude towards him.
Lin Shanchu was not interested in listening to Lu Shiyuan’s nonsense.
Before Lu Shiyuan could speak, Lin Shanchu turned around and whispered to him, “If you say another word, I’ll leave with Huo Chaosheng immediately.”
Lu Shiyuan glared at her.
Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows fearlessly.
Lu Shiyuan cared about his dignity and could not afford to lose face. Therefore, he did not even make a sound until the end of the gala.
Lin Shanchu had a peace of mind and her mood was much better.
When the gala ended, Huo Chaosheng sent Lin Shanchu a WeChat message.
Huo Chaosheng: [Help me take care of my Third Brother. I have something to do, so I have to leave now.]
Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Chaosheng.
When Huo Chaosheng, who was whispering to Huo Xunzhou, noticed Lin Shanchu’s gaze, he looked up and winked at her.
Then, Huo Chaosheng stood up and left.
A reporter in the interview area shouted, “Lin Shanchu!”
Lin Shanchu immediately spotted Wen Huan in the crowd.
She smiled and waved at Wen Huan.
The other reporters thought that Lin Shanchu was greeting them, so they all waved back enthusiastically. “Lin Shanchu, come here quickly!”
“We’re all waiting for you.”
Lu Shiyuan next to her stood up and said coldly, “Let’s go.”
Lin Shanchu glanced at him lazily. “My friend asked me to help him take care of his brother.”
Lu Shiyuan then realized that Huo Chaosheng was no longer in his seat.
Lu Shiyuan lowered his voice and warned her, “Lin Shanchu, are you shameless?”
“Let’s go.” Huo Xunzhou’s voice was heard.
Lin Shanchu turned to Huo Xunzhou and smiled gently. “Okay.”
She got up and was about to push Huo Xunzhou outside.
Lu Shiyuan naturally could not let Lin Shanchu leave just like that, so he reached out to grab her arm.
Huo Xunzhou raised his hand to stop him. “There are so many reporters with cameras. President Lu, what are you trying to do?”
Lu Shiyuan shook off Huo Xunzhou’s hand. He then turned around and strode out.
If he had not left the scene, he was afraid that he would have lost control and beat Huo Xunzhou up.
Lin Shanchu had utterly embarrassed him, and he could not afford to make any more mistakes.
The interview area was located on the only way to leave the venue.
When Lu Shiyuan passed by the interview area, a reporter asked him,
“President Lu, aren’t you going to wait for your fiancée and leave with her?”
As soon as the reporter finished speaking, laughter was heard in the crowd.
Lu Shivuan stopped in his tracks and clenched his fists. “I have something urgent to do and have to rush over now.”
Zhou Yan was waiting for Lu Shiyuan at the exit. When he saw Lu Shiyuan coming over, he rushed forward to open a path for him and block the reporters.
“President Lu…” Although Zhou Yan was waiting outside the venue, he also Imew about the seating arrangements through the live broadcast. He was the one who contacted the organizers and arranged for the gala. Lu Shiyuan would definitely settle the score with him for making such a big mistake.
Lu Shiyuan quickly walked out of the venue and stopped at the side of the road.
Lu Shiyuan’s cast a razor-sharp gaze at Zhou Yan, as if he wanted to tear him apart.
Zhou Yan explained, “Huo Xunzhou is also the sponsor of the gala. He’s also Huo Chaosheng’s brother. Huo Chaosheng wanted to sit with Miss Lin, so the organizers agreed.”
Lu Shiyuan frowned slightly upon hearing those words. “Why did Huo Xunzhou suddenly sponsor the gala? Hadn’t he just been investing in projects abroad?”
Zhou Yan guessed, “I think he probably wants to get a share of the pie in the entertainment industry.”
Lu Shiyuan’s expression changed slightly as a thought crossed his mind. “There’s something wrong with Tianzhou Media.”
At this moment, a scream came from nearby.
“President Lu, be careful!” Zhou Yan quickly pushed Lu Shiyuan aside.
Lu Shiyuan raised his head and saw a car heading straight in the direction he was just in.
After the car hit nothing, it turned around and crashed into Lu Shiyuan.
It was new neighborhood with flat and broad roads and there was nowhere to hide.
The car was madly chasing after Lu Shiyuan to hit him.
It was as if the driver had made up their mind to take Lu Shiyuan’s life. Lu Shiyuan pushed Zhou Yan away.. “Get out of the way and call the police!”
