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

Chapter 24



Chapter 24

Lin Shanchu finally managed to persuade Lin Suguang after a long time.

She had set Lu Manor on fire, which meant Lu Shiyuan would definitely not let her off easily.

If Lin Suguang were to return at this juncture, he would definitely be suppressed by Lu Shiyuan.

Her uncle was the only person in the world who cared about her.

She would not let anything happen to him.

Lin Shanchu had answered the call on the sidewalk.

After putting her phone in her bag, she realized that a car had stopped in front of her.

However, this was not the place to park the car.

Why did they have to stop here?

“Ms. Lin!”

The door on the driver’s side opened as Li Mo got out of the car.

Lin Shanchu saw Li Mo and subconsciously looked into the back window of the car.

Although she could not see anything, she knew that Huo Xunzhou was in the car.

Li Mo walked over and opened the back door.

“Ms. Lin, please get in the car.”

The car door opened, revealing the scene inside.

Huo Xunzhou was sitting in the car. He wore a formal shirt and slacks with a tie.

His black shirt was buttoned up to the top, and his tie was tied into a formal Winsor knot. He looked solemn and abstinent.

Lin Shanchu was dazed.

She remembered the years when Huo Xunzhou was at the peak of his career in the entertainment industry. Many entertainment bloggers would say the same thing when they talked about Huo Xunzhou.

Who wouldn’t like Huo Xunzhou?

While she studied Huo Xunzhou, the latter was doing the same to her.

Her white dress was unusually neat, and her clean, fair face was free of any dirt and grime. Her expression was calm and composed. She did not look like someone who had just escaped from a fire.

Li Mo reached out and took the case from Lin Shanchu.

“It’s so heavy!” He thought that Lin Shanchu was carrying something important, but he did not expect it to be so heavy.

“Thank you for your trouble.” Lin Shanchu smiled at him and bent down to get into the car.

Li Mo placed the case in the trunk and started the car without a word.

Lin Shanchu saw flowers and offerings on the front passenger seat.

“Please stop the car when you see a flower shop. I came out in a hurry and didn’t buy flowers.”

Li Mo glanced at Huo Xunzhou from the rearview mirror and replied, “Alright.”

Not long after the car left, a flower shop came into their view.

As soon as the car stopped, Lin Shanchu went out to buy flowers.

The big screen across the road was showing the news of Lu Manor on fire.

“Even though such a big thing has happened to the Lu family, why is Ms. Lin acting as if nothing happened?” Li Mo asked as he looked at the big screen.

“Just focus on driving,” Huo Xunzhou said indifferently.

Li Mo quickly shut up and opted not to talk.

The woman that Huo Xunzhou had taken a liking to resembled him greatly. No one could understand her at all.

For the past 16 years, Lin Shanchu had come to Xi Shan Cemetery every year.

She was very familiar with this place.

To her, this place was more familiar to her than Lu Manor.

Her parents loved each other so much that they got buried together after passing away. contemporary romance

She placed the fresh flowers in front of the grave and reached out to wipe the dust off the tombstone.

“Mom, dad, I’m here to see you.”

Huo Xunzhou also put down the flowers in his hand.

“Mdm. Ning, I’m Huo Xunzhou.”

After that simple sentence was uttered, a long silence ensued.

Lin Shanchu could not help but turn to look at him.

Huo Xunzhou was very focused on the picture of Lin Shanchu’s mother on the tombstone. His eyes were a little out of focus as if he was lost in his memories.

After an unknown amount of time, Huo Xunzhou suddenly spoke up.

“Back then, Mdm. Ning often brought you to my classes.”

“Huh?”

Lin Shanchu was stunned for a moment. She then realized that Huo Xunzhou was talking about the time when he was enrolled in her mother’s kindergarten.

“Back then, you were only this big.” Huo Xunzhou gestured with his hand. His expression was as indifferent as ever, but it somehow made people feel a little closer to him.

It was probably because he sounded like an elder who had been through a lot.

“You’re only four years older than me.” Lin Shanchu pursed her lips.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

“Yeah.” Huo Xunzhou looked at her with a half-smile.

His magnetic voice had a teasing tone.

He didn’t have any ill intentions.

However, Lin Shanchu felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

“I still have things to do, so I’ll be leaving first,” she said expressionlessly.

As a fan of Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou’s romantic progression, Li Mo immediately offered, “Ms. Lin, where are you going? We can give you a lift.”

Considering that it was not easy to get a taxi here, Lin Shanchu answered honestly, “Tian Zhou Media.”

When Li Mo heard that, he looked at Huo Xunzhou and asked, “What are you going there for, Ms. Lin?”

“I need Mr. Nan’s help,” Lin Shanchu said.

Tian Zhou Media was the management company that Huo Xunzhou had founded under Nan Mu’s name.

Li Mo did not ask any further.

The group started to walk out of the cemetery.

Lin Shanchu walked in front while Li Mo pushed Huo Xunzhou from behind.

They soon arrived at the parking lot.

Just as Li Mo was about to help Huo Xunzhou into the car, the latter’s expression froze before saying in a deep voice, “Lin Shanchu, get in the car.”

Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at him. “What…”

Without giving her a chance to speak, Huo Xunzhou suddenly stood up, pulled her arm, and stuffed her into the car without a word.

He closed the car door loudly afterward.

Li Mo exclaimed, “Big Brother, you… she…”

“She knows that I’m not disabled.”

After Huo Xunzhou finished explaining, he sat back in his wheelchair.

Lin Shanchu, who was sitting in the car, saw a familiar car driving over not far away.

She was so familiar with the car plate number that she could recite it backward.

It was Lu Shiyuan’s car.

Lu Shiyuan knew her too well. He knew that she had nowhere to go in Xu City, so he came to the cemetery straight away.

Lu Shiyuan’s car stopped across from them.

He got out of the car and walked toward Huo Xunzhou.

“Huo Xunzhou, what are you doing here?”

“President Lu, what else do you think we can do in the cemetery other than paying respects to the dead?”

Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair while maintaining the perfect poker face.

Lu Shiyuan turned to look at Huo Xunzhou’s car.

The glass windows of the car were made of a special material, so the people outside could not see inside.

“President Lu,” Huo Xunzhou started lazily. “You seem interested in my car. Why don’t you just open the door and take a look?”

Based on Lu Shiyuan’s intuition, he felt that Lin Shanchu was most likely in Huo Xunzhou’s car.

Previously, at the hospital, Huo Xunzhou had confronted him because of Lin Shanchu. Later on, Lin Shanchu accompanied Huo Xunzhou to the party.

The relationship between the two of them was very ambiguous.

After Lin Shanchu escaped from Lu Manor, it was very likely that she would come to find Huo Xunzhou.

He walked up to the car and held the door handle.

Seeing this, Li Mo wanted to step forward.

Huo Xunzhou reached out and held his arm, motioning for him to not move.

Lu Shiyuan stood in front of the car for a moment before he suddenly retracted his hand. He turned around and instructed his subordinates. “Let’s go to the cemetery.”

Before they left, Lu Shiyuan looked at Huo Xunzhou’s car and said, “I have an identical car that was stolen a few days ago, but I’ll definitely get it back!”
