Chapter 464: Did He Tell You?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Number 1357 was silent for a long time before he apologized to her in a low voice.
“I’m sorry.”
“How are you different from Number 2580?!”
“Shanshan, I’m different from Number 2580. I’m doing this for your own good and I really hope that you’ll be fine.”
“You don’t have to embellish your statement. You know that I hate being controlled and forced by others, but still you secretly control my will and force me to follow the plot.”
Lin Shanchu became extremely emotional as Number 1357 touched a sore spot with her.
Number 1357 fell silent for a long time. After Lin Shanchu gradually calmed down, he opened his mouth.
“Shanshan, this is the first time I’m forcing you to follow the plot, and it’s also the last time. Please believe me…”
Beep!
A short busy tone sounded from the phone.
This daughter had a bad temper and was not as easy to coax as the other daughters.
However, she could not be blamed for this.
Her life was not supposed to be like this.
It was all his fault.
However, everything was about to end.
She would get the life that originally belonged to her and the ending that she deserved.
Lin Shanchu was fueled by anger after the call with Number 1357.
She lost her reason and almost floored the accelerator.
However, her rationality was quickly restored, allowing her to control the car speed within the safe limits.
She was so angry that she wanted to go back and smash Number 1357’s TV.
However, when she drove to the intersection, she did not turn to drive back to Huo Xunzhou’s house. Instead, she drove straight to the restaurant where she had agreed to meet Huo Chaosheng.
She Imew that Number 1357 was up to no good again.
Number 1357 was better than Number 2580 in this aspect.
When Number 2580 forced her to follow the plot at the critical moment back then, she could clearly feel its control over her. However, Number 1357 was different.
His control was subtle and silent.
Lin Shanchu did not even realize it when she was under his control. She only realized it after the incident.
No wonder Number 1357 always said that Number 2580 was trash.
From this point, she could tell that Number 2580 was really useless. Lin Shanchu was distracted on the way, but the car stopped safely in front of the restaurant.
Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on her car window.
Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Chaosheng’s face pressing against the car window.
Lin Shanchu pulled out the car keys and got out of the car.
Huo Chaosheng stood outside and helped her open the car door.
“YOU are quite punctual.’
Lin Shanchu was in a bad mood, so she gave him a dirty look.
Huo Chaosheng was already used to Lin Shanchu giving him a dirty look, so he naturally slammed the car door shut and followed her.
Lin Shanchu locked the car and put the car keys into her bag.
“Why did you drive Third Brother’s car?” Huo Chaosheng turned around and looked at the car that Lin Shanchu had just driven over.
Lin Shanchu had randomly picked this car from Huo Xunzhou’s garage.
There were so many cars in Huo Xunzhou’s garage, but she did not expect that Huo Chaosheng would recognize it so quickly.
“That’s because I’m living with your Third Brother now,” Lin Shanchu said lazily with her hands in her pockets. “You moved to Third Brother’s house?”
“Yeah.”
“But hasn’t he been staying at the Huo family’s old mansion recently?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
“He left you alone at home?”
Upon hearing those words, Lin Shanchu stopped and turned to look at Huo Chaosheng.
“Can’t he leave me alone at home?”
Huo Chaosheng had always thought that she was unworthy of Huo Xunzhou. He even thought that Huo Xunzhou got together with her because of him.
From what he said, it sounded like he subconsciously thought that Huo
Xunzhou loved her very much and would never leave her alone at home.
Huo Chaosheng raised his eyebrows and said, “With Third Brother’s personality, he wouldn’t do something like leaving his girlfriend alone at home.”
It turned out that he thought that Huo Xunzhou was a considerate boyfriend.
In the end, wasn’t he praising Huo Xunzhou?
The plot was about to end, but he still had a brother complex.
He was hopeless.
“That’s because he has to go back to the Huo family’s old mansion to do some important business.” Lin Shanchu’s eyes flashed before she averted her gaze and continued walking.
Since she was already here, she might as well try to worm some information out of this stubborn man, Huo Chaosheng.
The waiter led the two of them to a private room.
The door closed, leaving Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng alone in the room.
Huo Chaosheng sat down opposite Lin Shanchu.
“What business requires Third Brother to go back to the old mansion?”
“Don’t you know?” Lin Shanchu asked, sizing him up while holding her chin.
“He didn’t tell you?”
“Did he tell you?” Huo Chaosheng’s face darkened.
Lin Shanchu suddenly laughed.
“He didn’t tell me either, but…” She paused for a moment with her clear eyes fixed on him. “I think you should be able to guess what he’s going to do when he returned to the old mansion.”
“I don’t know.” Huo Chaosheng denied without hesitation.
Lin Shanchu looked regretful.
“What a pity. I wanted to ask you what he was going to do when he returned to the old mansion.”
“Let’s order food.”
Huo Chaosheng lowered his eyes and pushed the menu to Lin Shanchu.
It was Lin Shanchu’s first time at this restaurant, so she did not know how the food here tasted like.
Huo Chaosheng was as generous as ever. He allowed her to order dishes without saying a word.
After ordering the dishes, Lin Shanchu chatted with him with a natural expression.
“Where have you been in the past few days?”
“Where else do you think I’d be?
Lin Shanchu could hear a hint of resentment in Huo Chaosheng’s tone.
“Hmph!” Huo Chaosheng snorted when he noticed her silence. “I spent the past few days outside with those people.” “Who are they?”
“I don’t remember their names.”
Many people invited Huo Chaosheng to hang out with them.
He did not know most of them and only hung out with them to pass the time.
After hanging out for a few days, he could not even remember the names of those people.
Lin Shanchu pondered for a moment, trying to sense the misery behind Huo Chaosheng’s words.
She pretended not to hear him and smiled. “The more the merrier. Isn’t that nice?”
“You have no conscience,” Huo Chaosheng said expressionlessly.
“It’s not like it’s the first day you’ve known me.” Lin Shanchu slowly picked up the glass of water in front of her and took a sip. Why was Huo Chaosheng spouting such nonsense to her?
When would he get to the main topic?
She really wanted to know why Huo Chaosheng had asked her out today. Furthermore, she also wanted to know what his ending would be.
After a while, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Huo Chaosheng seemed to have a bad appetite and stopped after eating a little. “Have you accepted any new dramas recently?”
The food in this restaurant tasted good. The stewed chicken was soft and fragrant.
Lin Shanchu swallowed the chicken before she spoke slowly, “I’ve been negotiating a mystery drama recently. I’m planning to invest in it myself.”
“Have you signed the contract?”
“No, it’s still under negotation.”
Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but become wary when she saw Huo Chaosheng acting like he wanted to chat with her.
Huo Chaosheng was not the kind of person who would normally talk to his friends about their current life situation.
It would be more normal if he were to discuss fighting and killing with her.
Lin Shanchu started to stir up trouble.
“Huo Zhuxiu is so nice to you, but why do you hate him?”
