Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening - Chapter 268
Chapter 268: What Is There to Drink When Your Leg Is Broken?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The niece blurted out, “It’s because he’s the male lead.”
Lin Shanchu said thoughtfully, “But logically speaking, the male lead is a scumbag at the early stage. How can a scumbag whose death is not pitiable like him remain chaste just for a woman?”
The niece thought that Lin Shanchu hated scumbags.
She even said that his death was not pitiable.
The niece continued to explain, “He’s the male lead because he stands out from the crowd by remaining chaste. If he hooks up with other women… then he doesn’t deserve to be the male lead.”
Those words were a wake-up call.
Lin Shanchu’s long-standing doubts were resolved by her words.
That scumbag Lu Shiyuan had never slept with Tang Qidai because he was the male lead.
The male lead could hurt the female lead and do all kinds of evil deeds, but he had to remain chaste for her.
It was because this was an angst love story for females.
Being loyal and having a clean mind and body was the red line of a male lead.
After crossing the red line, he would no longer be the male lead.
It was such a simple logic, but she had never understood it.
Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but laugh.
“Sister, you…” The niece was dumbfounded. Was what she said that funny? Lin Shanchu turned around and gave her a big hug. “You’re amazing! Thank you.”
“Huh?” Why did Lin Shanchu suddenly thank her?
“I’ll be leaving now.” Lin Shanchu stood up, took two steps, and then turned back. After that, she said to the niece with a serious face, “Write me as a Mary Sue next time, the kind that kills a scumbag with one punch. Please!”
After Lin Shanchu’s figure disappeared, the niece held her face and screamed excitedly, “Ah! Sister praised me and even hugged me. I want to write Mary Sue stories for the rest of my life, sob…”
When Lin Shanchu returned to the private room, she realized that no one had ordered food yet.
The boss welcomed her to take a seat. “We’ve been waiting for you. Come and order.”
Lin Shanchu turned to look at He Xiang in confusion.
When she went to look for Song Yiming, she had told He Xiang to order food first.
He Xiang blinked innocently and looked in Huo Xunzhou’s direction.
Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou handing the menu to Huo Chaosheng.
Lin Shanchu pursed her lips. Then, she averted her gaze and started ordering food.
After ordering food, the boss asked Huo Xunzhou, “President Huo, what kind of wine would you like to drink?”
Huo Xunzhou said slowly, “Everyone has work tomorrow, so don’t drink wine today…”
“I want to have a drink.”
A female voice suddenly rang out and attracted everyone’s attention.
Everyone looked at Lin Shanchu.
“Today’s work went well, so I’m happy and want to have a drink.” She had finally found a way to get rid of Lu Shiyuan’s male lead aura. Of course, she had to have a drink to celebrate it.
He Xiang was the first to disagree. She persuaded her softly, “Sister Lin, if your stomach isn’t good, don’t drink it.”
“I’ll just drink one glass,” Lin Shanchu said with a smile.
It was rare for He Xiang to see Lin Shanchu so happy, so she stopped talking.
Huo Xunzhou pulled a long face and did not speak again.
Huo Chaosheng glanced at Lin Shanchu. “Third Brother, I want to have a drink too.”
Huo Xunzhou said coldly, ‘What is there to drink when your leg is broken?” Huo Chaosheng was speechless at the ferocious Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou looked past Huo Chaosheng and his gaze landed on Lin Shanchu. “Don’t you know that you’re a patient?”
Lin Shanchu frowned in confusion.
Huo Xunzhou scolded Huo Chaosheng, but why was he staring at her?
Was he blaming her for saying that she wanted a drink?
Did he want to put on a show of brotherhood with Huo Chaosheng and even scold her?
She was wronged in that case.
Lin Shanchu just glared at Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou was speechless.
When the wine was served, Lin Shanchu raised her glass and said sweetly to the waiter, “Please fill it up, thank you.”
After eating and drinking to their heart’s content, the dinner ended.
Huo Chaosheng’s leg injury was still in the healing stage. To be on the safe side, Huo Xunzhou arranged for a separate car for him.
Huo Xunzhou ordered the bodyguards to carry Huo Chaosheng into the car.
He turned around and saw Lin Shanchu leaving in a car.
He took a deep look in the direction Lin Shanchu had left before he turned to Li MO and said, “Let’s go.”
Only he and Li MO were in the car.
Huo Xunzhou asked, “You still haven’t found any medical records about her?” “No yet.” Li MO sounded defeated.
Huo Xunzhou looked at Li MO through the rearview mirror. “It’s not your problem.”
Lin Shanchu was a little unusual in the first place. There might be other reasons why Li MO could not find any medical records. Li MO was puzzled as he said, “Big Brother, you mean…”
Huo Xunzhou said, “Change the direction.”
“Change what direction?” He could not understand Huo Xunzhou’s words again.
Huo Xunzhou was lost in thought.
Lin Shanchu only had a handful of people close to her.
Although he did not want to admit it, Lu Shiyuan, who grew up with Lin Shanchu, was indeed the closest person to her.
However, what was worth being happy about was that Lu Shiyuan was the first to be excluded.
Lin Shanchu wanted Lu Shiyuan dead. If she was terminally ill, she would never let him know the truth.
After excluding Lu Shiyuan, the scope was even smaller.
Yun Wu was considered close to her.
However, there was a period of time when she deliberately distanced herself from Yun Wu.
Therefore, Yun Wu also had to be excluded.
Nan Mu, Li MO, Qi Cheng, and He Xiang also had to be excluded.
As a result, there would be no one left.
She had no choice but to ask a stranger like him for help back when she was in the hospital because she had no one by her side. But now, she did not even want his help.
Nan Mu was right.
Women were heartless.
However, she was not born in this way.
If given chance, who would not want to be a gentle and kind person? Who would not want to live a decent and comfortable life?
Screech!
The car suddenly braked.
It interrupted Huo Xunzhou’s thoughts.
“What happened?”
“A car suddenly drove over.”
Li Mo’s voice was filled with anger.
He rolled down the car window angrily. “Are you blind at night?”
“You’re the f*cking blind one!” The driver of the other car responded with a curse and left.
Li MO was furious. “I want to report him! I want to report him now!”
At this moment, the car behind them moved forward.
“Hey, it’s you?”
Li MO looked at him for a long time and finally remembered his name. “Wen
Huan?”
Wen Huan looked happy as he shouted at the tightly shut rear window, “Best Actor Huo!”
He recognized Li MO as Huo Xunzhou’s inseparable bodyguard. Even though the car window was closed, he knew that Huo Xunzhou must be in the car.
Huo Xunzhou rolled down the car window and sized up Wen Huan with a probing look.
Wen Huan waved at him excitedly and looked back. “There are many cars behind us. I have to leave now. Best Actor Huo, bye.”
Huo Xunzhou remained silent, so Li MO thought he did not remember who Wen Huan was.
“Do you still remember that reporter?” He reminded, “He was the one who drove Miss Lin over to visit Huo Chaosheng the other day.”
Huo Xunzhou recalled Lin Shanchu’s previous comments on Wen Huan’s Moments.
Wen Huan.
He could be considered someone relatively close to Lin Shanchu.
He had overlooked Wen Huan just now..
