Chapter 446: Lin Shanchu Was Made a Scapegoat for No Reason
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Xunzhou’s gentle gaze was mixed with a trace of distress when he recalled the first time he met Lin Shanchu.
He knew that Huo Zhuxiu had sent people to spy on him.
Therefore, he did not return to Capital City after returning to the country. Instead, he went straight to Xu City.
Since he was pretending to be disabled, he naturally had to recuperate in the hospital.
In fact, pretending to be disabled was not part of his original plan. It was rumored that he was on the verge of death after the car accident. Even if he was saved, he would be paralyzed.
Therefore, he went with the flow and sat in a wheelchair according to the rumors.
Everything seemed to be predestined.
If it were not for the car accident, he might not have met Lin Shanchu in the hospital.
Yun Wu toughened up and asked, “You met Shanshan because of me?”
Huo Xunzhou was noncommittal.
Yun Wu suddenly felt that she was meritorious.
Coupled with the fact that the knot in her heart had been untied, she felt completely relaxed.
Once a person carelessly let their guard down, they would cause trouble.
She remembered the conversation she had with Lin Shanchu in the morning. She reminded Huo Xunzhou tactfully, “Third Brother, you’re busy with work, but you should go for a checkup when you have time.”
Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes. He was puzzled but did not say anything.
Yun Wu thought that he had taken her words to heart, so she continued, “You’ve been working so hard, and your body is prone to problems. Don’t hide your illness for fear of treatment. You’re still young and can be cured.”
He could be cured?
She sounded as if he had suffered some serious illness.
“What kind of illness do I have?” Huo Xunzhou asked calmly.
“No, no, no…” Yun Wu quickly denied, “I’m not saying that you’re ill. I’m just
concerned about your health. Many people nowadays don’t even know that they’re sick…”
“For example?” Huo Xunzhou looked at her expressionlessly and asked, ‘What kind of illness people generally have these days but they don’t know about it?”
Yun Wu noticed that things went south.
She seemed to be in trouble.
“It’s just an analogy. You don’t have to go for a checkup if you don’t have time.
You look quite healthy.”
Yun Wu stood up and said, “I’ll go and check what Shanshan is doing. She’s not very familiar with the rest of the family and must be bored, so I’ll go and accompany her. ‘
Yun Wu knew that as long as she mentioned Lin Shanchu out, it would definitely work.
However, it was her miscalculation this time.
Just as she turned around, Huo Xunzhou’s cold voice rang behind her.
“If you don’t tell me what illness it is, you won’t have a day off next year.”
Yun Wu had signed a contract with Tianzhou Media, so Huo Xunzhou could arrange her schedule in all aspects.
She was really afraid of the days when she was as busy as a bee.
She did not even have time to go out for a meal.
Yun Wu stammered, ‘Well… you stayed at Shanshan’s house last night and went to work early in the morning…”
Men were naturally sensitive to such a matter.
Huo Xunzhou immediately understood what Yun Wu meant.
His face darkened as he stared coldly at Yun Wu.
Yun Wu shrunk her neck in fear, and quickly shifted the blame onto Lin Shanchu.
“Actually, Shanshan is quite concerned about your health…” The art of language was vividly displayed at this moment.
She did not mention the further topic.
However, the implicit meaning behind her words was clear—Lin Shanchu thought that he was impotent.
Huo Xunzhou laughed in anger.
“Yun Wu, you will have no day off next year.” After saying that, he strode downstairs angrily.
Yun Wu felt that she was innocent.
“Third Brother, why are you like this? I’ve told you everything, but you still deducted my leave! ”
She even shifted the blame onto Lin Shanchu without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, she still couldn’t save her leave.
Yun Wu was extremely upset.
Lin Shanchu, who was made a scapegoat for no reason, knew nothing about the conversation between Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu. She was playing cards with Yun Yi and the others in high spirits.
“Four eights! There are no more cards!”
Lin Shanchu stretched out her empty hands and smiled proudly.
Yun Yi put down the remaining cards in his hand. Then, he smiled and took out two pink notes before handing them to Lin Shanchu.
Previously, Yun Jin said that he wanted to play cards and that it would be more fun to be played for money, so they took out a stack of cash from the safe at home.
“Thank you, Big Brother,” Lin Shanchu said as she took the money from Yun Yi.
Yun Yi couldn’t help but laugh. He pushed the cards in front of Yun Jin and gestured for him to shuffle them.contemporary romance
“Pay up, 200 yuan.”
Yun Jin looked at the remaining 200 yuan in front of him and asked with a pained expression, “Why do I have to pay 200 yuan? Isn’t it 100 yuan per round?”
Lin Shanchu replied with a smile, “You drew the joker, so it has to be doubled.”
Yun Jin handed over the remaining 200 yuan with a trembling hand.
“Yun Jin, shuffle the cards, ” Yun Yi chuckled as he held his forehead.
Yun Jin was so sad that he was about to cry. “Shouldn’t the dealer shuffle the cards?”
“Shanshan is the younger sister. You want her to shuffle the cards?” Yun Yi’s tone was gentle and did not sound intimidating, but it gave off a undefiable vibe.
“I’ll shuffle the cards!” Lin Shanchu, who had earned 400 yuan, gathered all the cards together and started shuffling them happily.
Yun Jin glanced at Yun Yi carefully amd said, “Shanshan wants to shuffle the cards.”
Yun Yi had an indifferent look on his face and did not say anything else.
“Do you want to continue?” Lin Shanchu asked curiously when she saw Yun Jin sitting at the table without moving. Yun Jin nodded. “Yeah.”
He would definitely win the next round! Lin Shanchu said, “But you don’t have money.”
Yun Jin replied, “Lend me some money.”
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
She really could not tell that Yun Jin was a gambler.
However, he was terrible at cards.
“Big Brother, does Yun Jin speak with integrity?” Lin Shanchu asked Yun Yi cautiously, “Will he not pay back the money he owes?”
Yun Yi was amused by her serious expression. “Don’t worry. He won’t dare not return the money he borrowed from you.”
Yun Jin’s face fell as he asked, “Aren’t you guys rude for questioning my integrity in front of me?”
What a love-hate relationship between the family members!
Lin Shanchu lowered her head, picked up a large stack of money and handed it to Yun Jin.
“3,800 yuan.”
Yun Jin thought that she was loyal when he saw that she kept only 200 yuan for herself. Therefore, he was a little touched as he said, “Keep more money for yourself.”
“No need.” Lin Shanchu smiled innocently and said, “I’ll win the money back soon anyway.”
Yun Jin was speechless. In the end, he made the wrong decision.
While drawing the cards, Lin Shanchu heard familiar footsteps behind her.
The person walked quickly, but his footsteps were steady and powerful.
It was Huo Xunzhou.
She turned around with a smile and saw Huo Xunzhou striding towards her.
Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou with a questioning gaze.
Huo Xunzhou looked at her meaningfully without a word and sat down beside her.
Lin Shanchu felt that the way he looked at her was a little strange. He did not seem angry, nor did he look gentle.
In short, it was a little strange..
