Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ming Yao sounded a little agitated.
“Huo Xunzhou has a girlfriend now, and Grandpa Yun is so happy. If Huo Xunzhou didn’t instigate him, Grandpa Yun wouldn’t have thought of asking that fool Yun Yi to go on a blind date!”
“Fool?” Yun Yi was calm and cautious. How could he look like a fool? Ming Yao shouted, “That’s not the main point!”
Lin Shanchu asked, “Oh, then why do you call Big Brother a fool?”
Ming Yao was speechless. If she were to die young in this life, she must have died of anger because of the couple, Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou.
Ming Yao was someone who had seen much of life, so she quickly calmed down.
“In short, the instigator of this incident is your man, Huo Xunzhou! ”
…Do you have evidence?”
Lin Shanchu guiltily lowered her voice.
She Imew better than anyone that Huo Xunzhou was definitely capable of doing something like this.
Huo Xunzhou looked like a proper and elegant young master, but in fact, he had a lot of problems.
He was petty, vengeful, scheming and full of tricks.
However, he was her boyfriend after all.
Of course, she had to defend her boyfriend.
Ming Yao was a business-oriented elite, so she was naturally smart. She could basically guess what Lin Shanchu was thinking.
“Lin Shanchu, don’t you have a guilty conscience when you say things like that?”
“But…’
Lin Shanchu realized that Ming Yao had seen through her, so she decided to lay her cards on the table. “You provoked him in the first place.”
As if trying to be the first to answer the question, Ming Yao answered immediately, “So, I have to find a chance to apologize to him! ”
“Huh?” The response was different from what she thought. How could Ming Yao admit defeat so quickly? It was not Ming Yao’s style at all.
Ming Yao said, “He didn’t pick up my call. He probably blocked me. I hope to talk to him or apologize to him in person. ”
“Aren’t you going to fight back?” Lin Shanchu advised her.
Ming Yao said, “I have a necklace that matches the brooch I gave you last time.”
Was he trying to bribe her?
Lin Shanchu really liked the brooch Ming Yao gave her.
As a big shot in the fashion industry, Ming Yao had first-class taste. The matching necklace would definitely look good.
Lin Shanchu was tempted.
“I want to see the necklace before I enter the film set tonight.”
“Alright.”
“Deal.’
Lin Shanchu hung up the phone in a good mood.
“You were bribed by a necklace?” When Lin Shanchu was on the phone earlier, Wen Huan had been listening attentively. Although Lin Shanchu did not put Ming Yao on speaker, he could roughly guess what was going on.
Lin Shanchu shook her head and refuted, “No, it’s not just a necklace. It’s a beautiful necklace that I’ve never seen before.”
Wen Huan was bewildered. After a long while of explaination, it did not seem to make any difference.
Sometimes, he felt that it was hard to figure out Lin Shanchu’s temper, but at other times, he felt that she was especially easy to talk to and coax. Wen Huan smiled and asked, “My cousin called you?” “How did you know?” Lin Shanchu’s eyes widened in shock.
“I heard you mention Yun Yi.” Wen Huan smiled mysteriously.
Lin Shanchu’s eyes beamed as she asked gossiply, “You know about Ming Yao and Big Brother?”
Wen Huan frowned at Lin Shanchu and replied, “My sister, cousin and Yun Yi are former classmates. They often took me with them when they went out to have fun.”
“Ming Yao and Big Brother are former classmates?” Lin Shanchu was getting more and more excited. ” Since they’re former classmates, they must have known each other for many years. How come they haven’t gotten together after so many years?”
“It’s true that they have known each other for many years. After all, they have known each other since they were young. As for why they haven’t gotten together, I’m not too sure either. There must be some kind of unresolved problem between the two of them..
“Oh.”
The place Wen Huan found was not bad. There were mountains, a river and lawns.
Even Huo Xunzhou was satisfied with this place.
Righter after Lin Shanchu got out of the car, she saw Huo Xunzhou looking at the scenery in the distance with a satisfied expression.
Yun Yi frowned and walked toward him. Just as he lowered his head to say something, Miss Jiang, who had been on a blind date with Yun Yi, walked over. Lin Shanchu learned from Wen Huan that this young lady was surnamed Jiang.
Miss Jiang gently asked to pitch a tent with Yun Yi.
Although Yun Yi did not want to go on a blind date, he still had to give Miss Jiang the most basic respect and could not give her the cold shoulder.
After Yun Yi and Miss Jiang went to set up the tent, Lin Shanchu walked over to Huo Xunzhou.
“What do you think of Miss Jiang?” Huo Xunzhou asked naturally as if it was a casual conversation about family matters. It seemed that the little friction between the two of them had been resolved.
Lin Shanchu thought about it and felt that she had already taken revenge on him by not sitting in the same car as him, so she would reluctantly forgive him.
“Miss Jiang looks very nice. She’s gentle, dignified and beautiful.”
Huo Xunzhou seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He smiled and asked,
“What do you think about her being my sister-in-law?”
“I don’t know her well. Besides, it’s naturally up to Big Brother to decide who should become your the sister-in-law…”
After a pause, Lin Shanchu squinted and added, “Mind your own business.”
Looking docile, Huo Xunzhou blinked and replied, “Oh.” It was totally a sign of guilt.
“Don’t cause trouble for Big Brother and Ming Yao.” Huo Xunzhou turned around and stared at her.
Lin Shanchu met his gaze directly, looking imposing.
The next second, Huo Xunzhou asked casually, “What did Ming Yao give you?”
Lin Shanchu was shocked.
How did this man know everything?
Lin Shanchu was the one feeling guilty and her aura weakened in an instant.
“You…” Huo Xunzhou looked helpless.
Her pure eyes looked serious as she said, “Please forgive Ming Yao! She just said it casually. She won’t really introduce a boyfriend to me.
“Besides, I like you the most and I won’t leave you no matter what. I’ll never give her the chance to introduce a boyfriend to me.”
As Lin Shanchu spoke, she pulled Huo Xunzhou’s hand and placed it on her cheek.
Huo Xunzhou looked down at her with a calm gaze devoid of emotions.
“You don’t believe me?” Lin Shanchu frowned deeply, looking aggrieved. She knew that Huo Xunzhou’s heart would soften when he saw her like this.
Sure enough, Huo Xunzhou’s expression softened quickly.
He pinched Lin Shanchu’s face expressionlessly.
He said firmly, “Looks like you like the benefits Ming Yao gave you very much.”
Lin Shanchu tried to quibble, “Brother Xunzhou, am I that kind of person in your heart?”
“Yes,” Huo Xunzhou replied expressionlessly.
Sweet-talks were all fake.
The false hope was real.
No one knew Lin Shanchu better than him.
Lin Shanchu, who had been exposed, thought of a countermeasure for three seconds before choosing to give up on herself.
“Yeah, I really like the necklace that Ming Yao promised to give me..”
