Lin Shanchu did not know many people at the banquet, so no one paid attention to her when she sat in the resting area.
After Lin Shanchu left, Huo Zhuxiu walked up to Huo Xunzhou.
Suppressing his anger, he questioned Huo Xunzhou in a low voice, “What’s going on between you and Lin Shanchu?”
“I told you that I can help you deal with the matter between her and Chaosheng.”
Huo Xunzhou’s tone was casual and natural as he indifferently glanced in Lin Shanchu’s direction.
“You…”
Huo Zhuxiu was at a loss for words. He was so shocked that he almost lost control of his voice. “Is this how you handle it?”
“What else?” Huo Xunzhou retorted righteously, “Do you have a way to get the best of both worlds?”
“Why do you have to put in so much effort for this kind of woman?” Huo Zhuxiu looked at Huo Xunzhou with disappointment.
He thought that Huo Xunzhou had some brilliant way to deal with this matter.
To his surprise, Huo Xunzhou stepped in and got himself involved.
That woman called Lin Shanchu was really fickle. She was still in contact with Chaosheng before, and now she easily hooked up with Xunzhou.
“If that’s the case, I’ll let her continue to pester Chaosheng,” Huo Xunzhou’s eyes turned cold.
Huo Zhuxiu had a lump in his throat as he said sternly, “Mind your attitude when you talk to me!”
Huo Xunzhou did not bother to look at him and said, “Of course, you can play the same old trick, but now she is my grandfather’s guest. My grandmother is also very fond of her. As for how it is going to end, that’s up to you.” Back then, Huo Xunzhou’s parents had a business marriage.
Although Huo Xunzhou’s mother had passed away many years ago, Huo Zhuxiu had always been respectful to Yun Hongru on the surface all these years. He had to call Yun Hongru “Dad” when he met him in public.
The two families had been dealing with each other for so many years, and both sides knew each other very well.
Even if Huo Zhuxiu wanted to kill Lin Shanchu, he could not do it for Yun Hongru’s sake.
However, he could not just let Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng develop their relationship like this. It would be even more difficult to deal with them as time passed.
In that case, Huo Xunzhou stepping in to snatch Lin Shanchu away was the best solution.
After all, Huo Chaosheng cared about his brother, Huo Xunzhou. He could not possibly snatch Huo Xunzhou’s woman.
Huo Zhuxiu pondered for a moment before he came to his senses. “Are you threatening me?”
“Chaosheng went over.” Huo Xunzhou acted as if he had not heard anything and continued to look in Lin Shanchu’s direction.
Huo Zhuxiu turned around and saw that Huo Chaosheng had walked up to Lin
Shanchu.
The two of them were sitting together and chatting with smiles on their faces, looking like they were having a good time.
Seeing this, Huo Zhuxiu stopped talking. He waved his hand and called for someone to push Huo Xunzhou over.
Ever since Huo Chaosheng came to Lin Shanchu’s side, many people were looking at them.
“You’re quite popular.” Lin Shanchu looked around and realized that the people who were looking at them were all socialites.
Huo Chaosheng was not interested in popularity at all. Instead, he was more interested in the relationship between Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou.
“What’s going on between you and my Third Brother?”
“Huh?” Lin Shanchu played dumb.
Huo Chaosheng leaned over and fixed his gaze on her face. “I saw him touching your hand just now.”
Lin Shanchu met his gaze and said calmly, “We’re dating.”
Lin Shanchu admitted that she was making a bet when she frankly talked about this matter.
Both she and Huo Xunzhou had complicated feelings for Huo Chaosheng.
They seemed to be close, but they were wary of each other and hid things from each other.
But what if both sides let down their guard and became more honest?
What would happen?
Would Huo Chaosheng deal with her like how he dealt with Yun Wu in the past?
Huo Chaosheng stood rooted to the ground and did not speak for a long time.
After some time, Huo Chaosheng said disdainfully, “The sky hasn’t turned dark, and yet you’re already dreaming?
Lin Shanchu was puzzled.
“Tell me, do you have a hold over my Third Brother?”
“Be sensible and hand it over. Don’t force me to make a move.”
Lin Shanchu was furious.
Her face darkened and she kicked him expressionlessly. “To hell with it!”
Huo Chaosheng implied that Huo Xunzhou would never like her.
How could she be unworthy of Huo Xunzhou?
Huo Chaosheng did not get angry on the spot. Instead, he snorted coldly and said, “Third brother must have had no choice but to get together with you!” Speechless, Lin Shanchu wanted to kill Huo Chaosheng on the spot. Unfortunately, she did not have any tools to commit the crime.
“What are you talking about?” Huo Xunzhou was pushed to the front.
“Third Brother!”
Huo Chaosheng moved closer to Huo Xunzhou and whispered like a whiny primary school student, “Lin Shanchu said that you’re dating her.”
Huo Xunzhou was taken aback for a moment before he said, “To be more precise, I’m the one pursuing her.”
He did not deliberately control his voice, so Lin Shanchu heard him.
Lin Shanchu was confused. He was pursuing her?
“Impossible!” Huo Chaosheng did not believe him. “I even want to marry her,” Huo Xunzhou said gently.
Huo Chaosheng frowned at Lin Shanchu.
From the way Huo Chaosheng was looking at Lin Shanchu, it was as if she had sullied Huo Xunzhou.
She glared at Huo Chaosheng expressionlessly.
Huo Chaosheng averted his gaze and shook his head in disbelief.
Back then, he misunderstood the relationship between Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu. He was careless, so he would not believe it so easily this time.
If Huo Xunzhou really wanted to fall in love, he would definitely find the most perfect woman in the world.
Lin Shanchu was quite good-looking, but she was sick.
Third Brother would not like such a sick woman.
Huo Chaosheng suddenly remembered what Huo Xunzhou had said to him before.
“Third Brother, don’t tell me you did it… for me?”
The more Huo Xunzhou denied it, the more Huo Chaosheng felt that Huo Xunzhou was hiding something.
“My relationship with Lin Shanchu is really not what you think it is.” He hurriedly explained, “You don’t have to make such a big sacrifice for me.” “What kind of relationship is that?” Lin Shanchu come over at some point.
“Don’t add fuel to the fire!” Huo Chaosheng shouted.
“Your Third Brother knows about our relationship, but he doesn’t mind…” Lin Shanchu said innocently. Huo Chaosheng said, “You…”
“Xunzhou.”
Yun Yi’s voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Huo Chaosheng before he could finish his words.
Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him. “Big Brother.”
While Yun Yi was talking to Huo Xunzhou, Huo Chaosheng pulled Lin Shanchu aside with a cold face.
He warned Lin Shanchu with a serious expression.
“Lin Shanchu, don’t spout nonsense in front of Third Brother. He will do anything for me!”
Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment before she said, “What a coincidence, he will do anything for me too.”
Huo Chaosheng cursed angrily, “D*mn, I can’t talk to a lunatic like you!”
Lin Shanchu advised him calmly, “Just say what you want to say. Don’t make personal attacks. ”
Huo Chaosheng was speechless..
