Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening

Chapter 18



Chapter 18

The magnetic voice that was very recognizable.

She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.

...

Lin Shanchu closed her eyes.

She then turned around.

“Mr. Huo,”

The man in the wheelchair was wearing a well-ironed suit. He had deep eyes and looked like an elite who was going to a business meeting.

“Oh? What a coincidence! Ms. Lin, are you here to have lunch too?” Li Mo was still the same as the last time, seeing as he was inexplicably warm to her.

“Yeah.” Lin Shanchu nodded.

Li Mo looked around and realized that Lin Shanchu was alone.

He stole a glance at Huo Xunzhou and said to Lin Shanchu, “Then why don’t we all share a table and eat together?”

In the face of Li Mo’s warm invitation, Lin Shanchu was ready to refuse right off the bat.

But Huo Xunzhou beat her to it.

“Let’s eat together.”

She could not refuse Huo Xunzhou when he was right in front of her.

At this moment, Chu Gushen, who had been standing quietly at the side, finally spoke up. “Mr. Huo.”

Lin Shanchu instantly understood that the lunch appointment Chu Gushen was talking about was actually a meal with Huo Xunzhou.

Was Huo Xunzhou already planning to work with Chu Gushen?

Something was wrong.

Huo Xunzhou’s plot was completely different from the original novel.

Could it be that Huo Xunzhou had also awakened?

Before she entered the private room, she called out to the system. “Did Huo Xunzhou awaken as well?”

[This world only detected an abnormality in the female lead’s persona.]

Lin Shanchu refuted, “But Huo Xunzhou’s plot doesn’t match the plot in the original novel.”

At that moment, she had already entered the private room.

As if wanting to please her, Li Mo pulled out a chair for her to sit.

After she sat down, she realized that Huo Xunzhou was right beside her.

They were so close.

She could smell the fresh scent of cedar on him.

Lin Shanchu remembered that she was still discussing Huo Xunzhou’s changes with the system.

She lowered her eyes and waited for the system’s reply.

However, even after waiting for a while, the system still did not respond.

“Are you dead?” Lin Shanchu asked.

This stupid system was indeed unstable.

“Let’s order.”

Huo Xunzhou’s fingers pressed on the menu and pushed it over.

Lin Shanchu regained her senses and took the menu.

Chu Gushen was even more confused as he watched the interaction between the two.

Lin Shanchu was Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée, but she left her inheritance to Huo Xunzhou.

She and Huo Xunzhou did not seem to be close.

Could it be that the rumors were true? that Lin Shanchu had gone crazy?

Li Mo noticed that Chu Gushen had been staring at Lin Shanchu, so he thought that Chu Gushen was interested in her.

It was very rare for Huo Xunzhou to have his eye on a woman. Naturally, Li Mo couldn’t let this lawyer snatch her away.

Therefore, he squeezed to Chu Gushen’s side. “Lawyer Chu, I have a few legal questions that I would like to ask you.”

Li Mo looked fierce by nature. When he spoke seriously, he looked like he was seeking revenge.

The more Lin Shanchu looked at him, the more he felt that Li Mo was hostile to Chu Gushen.

She couldn’t hold back her curiosity and turned to Huo Xunzhou. “Did your younger brother have a problem with Lawyer Chu?”

She had originally thought that Li Mo was just an ordinary chauffeur.

But she heard Li Mo referred to Huo Xunzhou as ‘big brother’ just now.

Huo Xunzhou was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was referring to Li Mo when she said ‘your younger brother’.

He looked at Li Mo and saw through Li Mo’s thoughts.

“Maybe.”

This ambiguous answer confused Lin Shanchu even more.

When she was confused, she would unconsciously tilt her head.

It made her resemble a cute little animal.

Huo Xunzhou thought of cats again.

This meal took a little long.

Huo Xunzhou and Chu Gushen talked about many business matters.

Lin Shanchu did not understand any of them.

After lunch, Chu Gushen left.

Li Mo was very perceptive.

“I’m going to the washroom. Ms. Lin, please help me take care of my big brother. I’ll have to trouble you.”

He clutched his stomach and walked out.

He was very proud of himself and felt that his acting skills were really good.

However, he had forgotten that Lin Shanchu was a professional actress.

Li Mo was deliberately creating an opportunity for her to be alone with Huo Xunzhou.

She also understood the reason why Li Mo had been so warm to her before.

However, she had only met Huo Xunzhou a few times. Why did Li Mo feel that she and Huo Xunzhou…

“Why didn’t you find a doctor?”

Huo Xunzhou’s words interrupted her thoughts.

Lin Shanchu’s appetite was actually very bad.

When she ate at Lu Manor, she also ate very slowly.

She always tried to swallow and eat more food just to make herself look like a healthy person.

No one cared about her at all. No one knew that she was terminally ill.

However, Huo Xunzhou noticed her poor appetite.

A person with enough life experience could find out about one’s health state based on their diet.

He did not know what illness Lin Shanchu had, but he knew that it must be a very serious illness.

Lin Shanchu remembered her previous guess and began to test if Huo Xunzhou had also awakened.

“Some illnesses can’t be cured by a doctor.”

She noticed Huo Xunzhou’s expression and continued, “For example, if a character is set as a patient in a novel, the doctor can’t decide if their illness was curable or not.”

Huo Xunzhou recalled the rumors he had heard recently.

Lin Shanchu had gone crazy.

He did not believe it at first.

But now…

“I know a lot of influencial psychiatrists. If you need them, I can help you contact them.”

Huo Xunzhou’s looks had always been attractive. He was extremely good-looking whenever he spoke seriously.

But it was a pity.

He thought of her as a lunatic.

Lin Shanchu knew that he had good intentions, but this did not stop her from being angry. “You’re the crazy one!”

Her cat-like eyes were filled with anger, making her pale face look more animated.

Lin Shanchu picked up her bag and got up to leave. When she exited, she slammed the door of the private room loudly.

Was she angry?

She looked… a little cute.

“Big Brother?”

Li Mo had not gone far. He was just outside the door.

When he saw Lin Shanchu leave, he pushed the door open and came in.

“Did you make Ms. Lin angry?” He saw Lin Shanchu leaving in a huff.

Huo Xunzhou did not seem to hear him.

After a long silence, Huo Xunzhou suddenly said, “I want a copy of Lin Shanchu’s intel.”

“I’ve already prepared it for you.” Li Mo chuckled while looking quite pleased of himself.

Huo Xunzhou looked at him with narrowed eyes.

Li Mo feared Huo Xunzhou’s indecipherable expression the most.

He immediately sobered up. “I just thought that you liked Ms. Lin. If you like someone so much, you must want to know all about her. That’s why I…”

“Where’s the stuff?” Huo Xunzhou interrupted him with a frown.

“In the car!” Li Mo replied.

After returning to the car, Li Mo immediately handed Lin Shanchu’s intel to Huo Xunzhou.

Li Mo was reliable. The intel that he collected was very detailed.

Huo Xunzhou read everything carefully.

His brows furrowed even more.

Li Mo looked at him from the rearview mirror.

“Big Brother, Ms. Lin’s background is so tragic. Lu Shiyuan really is a jerk…

“If it were up to me, you should have just snatched Ms. Lin from him… Really, I don’t know what Ms. Lin sees in that b*stard…”

The more Li Mo spoke, the more agitated he became. It was as if he couldn’t wait to fight Lu Shiyuan right now.
