Huo Chaosheng looked irritated as he shook his head.
“She wants to marry me.”
Lin Shanchu tilted her head in confusion.
Huo Chaosheng hooked his finger at Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu bent down and leaned closer to him.
Huo Chaosheng tilted his head and whispered to her.
“The Cheng family is interested in a marriage alliance with the Huo family, but
Cheng Fanjing doesn’t want to marry my Third Brother.”
“Why?”
“What else do you think the reason could be?” Huo Chaosheng snorted coldly.
“Because your Third Brother is disabled?” Lin Shanchu probed.
Cheng Fanjing did not seem to like Huo Chaosheng, judging from her attitude just now. She was willing to marry Huo Chaosheng for the sake of marriage alliance. Even so, she was unwilling to marry Huo Xunzhou because she despised the fact that Huo Xunzhou was a “disabled man”. Huo Chaosheng nodded slightly in agreement.
Lin Shanchu felt like laughing for no reason.
Huo Xunzhou also had times when people despised him.
Cheng Fanjing did not leave the dinner party after falling out with Huo Chaosheng just now.
With the status of the daughter of the Cheng family, she could do whatever she wanted in Capital City. Whether or not people knew her, they had to flatter her and please her.
Cheng Fanjing just stood there, and people came over to greet her one after another.
She was like a princess surrounded by stars.
Cheng Fanjing was keenly aware of Lin Shanchu’s gaze and looked over.
There was not much sharp emotion in her eyes. She only raised her hand that was holding the glass of champagne, and someone respectfully took the glass from her.
The person who took the glass of champagne from her was not a waiter, but a guest who attended the appreciation dinner.
She was showing off to Lin Shanchu, signaling her to back off and stay away from Huo Chaosheng.
Lin Shanchu felt that this high and mighty attitude was very familiar.
Lin Shanchu quickly understood why she felt it was familiar.
It was because Lu Shiyuan used to be like this, always acting high and mighty.
Did Cheng Fanjing target her by hiring Internet trolls to slander her and snatching her gown because she could not handle Huo Chaosheng alone? Did she look like an easy target compared to Huo Chaosheng?
Lin Shanchu was a little unhappy.
She straightened her body and locked eyes with Cheng Fanjing across the room as she slowly adjusted her qipao.
It was not difficult to demonstrate such behavior. Who did not know how to do
Cheng Fanjing pursed her lip and her eyes darkened.
Lin Shanchu, this woman who came from a small town, really did not Imow her place!
In that case, she should not be blamed for being impolite!
Cheng Fanjing narrowed her eyes slightly and turned around to talk to the people beside her with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
Huo Chaosheng watched the confrontation between Lin Shanchu and Cheng Fanjing quietly.
“She is blessed for being able to marry my Third Brother, but she doesn’t know her place,” Huo Chaosheng said menacingly.
Lin Shanchu recalled Huo Chaosheng’s description of Cheng Fanjing earlier. “A woman who is a pain in the ass to deal with.”
She did not overthink it back then.
Now, it seemed that the part “deal with” that Huo Chaosheng mentioned was probably the most extreme method.
Cheng Fanjing’s identity was obvious. If Huo Chaosheng really used some extreme method to “deal with” her, it would be troublesome to take care of the aftermath.
Lin Shanchu tried to reason with Huo Chaosheng. ‘Under the premise of no emotional foundation, no woman would be willing to marry a disabled man.
It’s quite normal.”
“I don’t care if she’s normal or not,” Huo Chaosheng said indifferently.
Lin Shanchu was speechless. As expected, she could not reason with someone without core values.
Lin Shanchu stopped talking and silently pushed Huo Chaosheng around the banquet hall.
After a while, Huo Chaosheng felt bored.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” he asked Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu replied, “I have nothing to say to you.”
After a moment of silence, Huo Chaosheng said, “How about you marry my
Third Brother?”
His tone was so normal that it sounded like he was discussing with her where to go for supper later.
Stunned, Lin Shanchu asked, ‘Why do I have to marry him?”
Huo Chaosheng replied, “If you marry my Third Brother, we will be a family. It will be more convenient for us to hang around.”
Lin Shanchu helplessly said, “You want me to marry your Third Brother just to hang around with me?”
“Yes,” said Huo Chaosheng as a matter of course, not knowing what was wrong with his suggestion.
“Let’s not talk about whether I’m willing or not. Didn’t you say that your Third Brother despises me?
“When you two spent some time together for a long time, he will probably like you…” Huo Chaosheng looked at her awkwardly.
His gaze seemed to be hinting that Lin Shanchu was worthy of Huo Xunzhou.
Speechless, Lin Shanchu felt that Huo Chaosheng was hopeless with his brother-complex.
She really wanted to tell Huo Chaosheng on the spot that she was dating Huo Xunzhou so that Huo Chaosheng could feel the sinister nature of the human heart.
After the dinner party, Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng went out for a simple dinner before going home.
Lin Shanchu’s interview with the reporter was posted online.
Someone even dug out the origin of the qipao she was wearing.
[These reporters were obviously interviewing Sister Rabbit for the first time.] [It’s okay. Their days of being criticized are yet to come. Hahahahaha.]
[Sister Rabbit was so sincere when she said, ‘You are so great.’ She used the most sincere tone to say the most sarcastic words.]
[Sister looks even better after dying her hair black! ]
[The qipao she’s wearing is so beautiful. I thought she was a little thin before, but now it’s just right!]
[Lin Shanchu is simply my type for someone who is obsessed with good looks like me. Ahhhh, she’s so beautiful…]
[This qipao… it seems to be the work of the qipao master, Liu Jian?]
[It’s not just look alike! It’s really made by the qipao master, Liu Jian! This frog closure is his original creation and it appeared in an interview he was in.]
[Is Lin Shanchu so influential? I thought one has to make an appointment in advance to ask Liu Jian to make a qipao?]
The attention of the netizens gradually shifted to the qipao.
The next morning, the netizens dug out the news that this qipao was actually ordered by Cheng Fanjing.
It was said that the news was dug out by netizens, but in fact, it was posted on Weibo by a marketing account.
“It’s said that a certain young lady in Capital City asked someone to custom-make a qipao. After making it, she didn’t want it anymore…” There was no mention of Cheng Fanjing’s name on Weibo.
The comments were consistent:
[So, Lin Shanchu picked up something that was abandoned by others?]
[I knew it. A dumped woman like Lin Shanchu isn’t influential enough to get
Liu Jian to make a qipao for her.]
[Why does she always pick up someone else’s leftovers?]
[People like her have no status, so they are destined to pick up leftovers for the rest of their lives…]
Some random netizen were shocked when they saw the comments. [She has 300 million yuan. Even if she spends 10 million yuan a year, she can spend it for the next thirty years. What status does she need?]
However, this comment was quickly ovewhelmed.
The company was the first to find out about this. After Qi Cheng was contacted, he came to look for Lin Shanchu.
Before Qi Cheng could speak, Lin Shanchu said, “I already know about the
incident with the qipao..”
