At this point, Cheng Fanjing completely believed that this crazy woman, Lin Shanchu, was capable of anything.
Lin Shanchu told her to check out the trending list tomorrow. It was certain that she would publish something in her hands and make it trending.
Furthermore, with Lin Shanchu’s popularity and topicality, she did not even need to make it trending because the netizens would do it on her behalf.
She certainly could not allow Lin Shanchu to expose her secret on the trending list.
Absolutely not!
That was right. Wouldn’t it be fine if she did not end up on the trending list?
She would do anything, including pulling a few strings and spending money, as long as Lin Shanchu’s post did not get on the trending list!
Thinking of this, Cheng Fanjing suddenly relaxed.
With the Cheng family’s ability, it was easy for them to suppress Lin Shanchu’s trending topic.
Cheng Fanjing raised her chin and smiled confidently. “Let’s check out the trending list then!”
Lin Shanchu curled her lips into a smile without any extra movements, but the others could feel her disdain.
Authority was a good thing.
If Cheng Fanjing could use her authority, she could use it too.
Cheng Fanjing could forget about escaping if Lin Shanchu wanted to mess with her.
“Is everyone ready? It’s going to start soon! Please get ready to go in now!”
As the frontstage staff ran over to inform everyone to enter the stage, the onlookers earlier got busy.
He Xiang came back after going out to buy a cup of coffee.
“Sister Lin, there aren’t any cafes around here. I drove a long way to get it.” She ran all the way back, panting heavily.
After taking the cup of coffee from He Xiang’s hand, Lin Shanchu let her sit on the chair behind her and said, “Rest for a while.”
He Xiang sat down on the chair and asked, “Is it about to start?”
“We’re going in soon.” Lin Shanchu sipped her coffee slowly. She had to finish it before she entered the stage.
He Xiang replied, “Oh.”
Everyone witnessed this scene.
They could not quite relate the gentle Lin Shanchu who gave up her chair to her assistant to the one who slapped Cheng Fanjing just now.
One could say that Lin Shanchu was gentle, but she was as ruthless as she could be when she slapped Cheng Fanjing.
One could say that she was cruel, but she had a gentle expression when she gave up her seat to her assistant. The assistant sat down naturally. It was obvious that the two of them usually interacted like this.
He Xiang could vaguely sense that many people were looking over and that the atmosphere was a little off.
She asked Lin Shanchu softly, “Sister Lin, did something happen?”
Cheng Fanjing took advantage of the chaos and left when everyone was busy just now. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would really be unable to resist fighting with Lin Shanchu on the spot.
“It’s nothing.” Lin Shanchu had one hand in front of her and the other holding a cup of coffee, looking relaxed.
He Xiangxin heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she heard Lin Shanchu add, “I just slapped Cheng Fanjing.”
Shocked, He Xiang had a lump in her throat right after heaving a sigh of relief. “You… you slapped Cheng Fanjing?”
“Yes.” Lin Shanchu pursed his lips and said, “I was already sleepy, and I was in a
bad mood when I was sleepy. Yet, she insisted on provoking me…” Her tone sounded like she was still unconvinced, didn’t it?
He Xiang pursed her lips and asked cautiously, “Did everyone see that?” Lin Shanchu grunted and admitted it openly. “Everyone probably thought that she deserved a beating.”
He Xiang was speechless and thought that no one in this world could control Lin Shanchu anymore.
Tongue-tied, He Xiang took out her phone and frantically sent WeChat messages to Qi Cheng.
He Xiang: [Sister Lin hit someone backstage.]
Qi Cheng: [Why did she hit that person? Whom did she hit?]
He Xiang: [Cheng Fanjing.]
Qi Cheng:
He Xiang quickly defended Lin Shanchu: [Cheng Fanjing provoked Sister Lin in the first place.] Qi Cheng: [Isn’t it obvious? I know Shanshan isn’t a troublemaker!]
“I’m going in.”
Lin Shanchu’s voice came from above.
He Xiang raised her head and realized that Lin Shanchu’s gaze was fixed on her phone screen.
Was it okay to snitch on the person involved and be discovered?
He Xiang simply showed Lin Shanchu her phone.
Lin Shanchu stuffed the empty coffee cup into He Xiang’s hands and said, “Oh right. I also exposed Cheng Fanjing’s scheme of hiring Internet trolls to slander me back then. I also told her to check out the trending list tomorrow.”
Boom!
To He Xiang, the news was a bolt from the blue.
Before Lin Shanchu left, she pointed at the last message from Qi Cheng on the screen.
“Brother Qi knows me quite well.”
After saying that, she walked down the red carpet frontstage in high heels.
He Xiang watched Lin Shanchu walking up to the frontstage. Then, she lowered her head and typed continuously to inform Qi Cheng what Lin Shanchu had said.
Qi Cheng replied quickly.
Qi Cheng: [!!!!]
Qi Cheng: [[Spitting blood.jpg]]
He could only feel his temples throbbing with a pounding headache.
On second thought, he felt that this was normal.
If Lin Shanchu did not do something, he would not be used to it.
Qi Cheng: [Don’t worry. Shanshan has always had her own plans. If she dares to say those words, she must be very confident.]
He Xiang was comforted by Qi Cheng’s words.
Qi Cheng was right. Lin Shanchu must have her own plan.
After the brand event ended, Lin Shanchu’s red carpet photo was trending.
When Lin Suguang saw the news of the event ending online, he called Lin
Shanchu.
“Shanshan, when are you coming back?”
“Have you finished watching the dramas in the Sweet Pet Theater section?”
Lin Shanchu could not figure out why Lin Suguang would suddenly call to ask about her schedule unless he had nothing to do after finished watching the dramas.
Even her former uncle would not pay attention to her movements at all times.
Lin Suguang fell silent for two seconds before he replied, “No, I’m just worried about your safety. I hope you can come home soon.”
Lin Shanchu just returned to the backstage. After sitting down, she asked slowly, “What if I can’t go home earlier?”
“I have to come to you then.” Lin Suguang’s tone sounded reluctant at first, but it was more of a happy one.
Number 1357 was fundamentally different from Lin Suguang.
Lin Suguang’s human emotions and expressions were richer. Number 1357’s facial expression, tone of speech and body movements were all stiff to varying degrees.
Even if it had a human body, it would return to its original nature when it knew that it was a machine system with a mission.
She even accepted the bizarre fact that she was the female lead of the angst novel, so it did not seem hard to accept that her blood-related uncle was actually a machine system.
Since Number 1357 said that he existed to protect her, then she wanted to find out how he would protect her.
“Come over then.”
Lin Shanchu hung up the phone after saying those words.
After packing up their things, He Xiang walked over and said, “Sister Lin, we can go now.”
Lin Shanchu got up and followed He Xiang out while sending her location to Number 1357.
She was going to look for Yun Jin later, so she sent him the location of the Yun family mansion.
He Xiang suddenly called out, “Uncle?”
‘What?” Lin Shanchu looked up blankly and saw Number 1357 standing at the door..
