He Xiang’s heart was in her mouth and she almost fell to her knees on the spot.
She looked like she was about to cry as she said, “Sister Lin, I was wrong…”
“You’re so amazing.” Lin Shanchu asked gently, “What did you do wrong?”
Becoming more anxious, He Xiang asked tentatively, “I was wrong in all aspects. ”
Lin Shanchu said, “…You’re indeed amazing. You even dare to brush me off with some scumbag’s quote.”
BoxNovel.comHe Xiang replied, “Sob… I didn’t.”
“Sit down.” Lin Shanchu gently lifted her chin and gestured for He Xiang to sit across from her.
He Xiang sat down obediently. When she looked up quietly, she saw that Lin Shanchu had picked up the chopsticks and started eating breakfast.
Was Lin Shanchu not angry anymore?
“Let’s talk after breakfast,” Lin Shanchu suddenly said.
“Oh!”
Was Lin Shanchu omniscient?
After breakfast, Lin Shanchu wanted to help He Xiang clean the dishes, but He Xiang pushed her out of the kitchen.
He Xiang quickly cleaned the dishes in the kitchen. When she came out, she saw Lin Shanchu sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.
“Sister Lin…” He Xiang carefully sat down opposite her.
Lin Shanchu looked at her expressionlessly. “Do you want to explain the Cheng family’s matter yourself, or should I help you explain?”
“You knew?” He Xiang was stunned.
Even though Lin Shanchu had her own temper, she treated He Xiang quite well. After He Xiang got drunk last night, she said a lot of silly things and did some stupid things, but Lin Shanchu would not be angry at her over such a trifle.
It turned out that Lin Shanchu was a little angry because of this matter.
Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows slightly, giving He Xiang a look that she would give her another chance.
He Xiang honestly told Lin Shanchu that the Cheng family had approached her.
“An old man came to me and said that if Tang Qidai and I settle out of court, he would give me money that I would never be able to earn in this lifetime. I rejected him at that time, but he told me to think about it carefully.”
Lin Shanchu looked at He Xiang’s clenched hands and asked, “What do you think?”
“My family isn’t rich at all, but my mother always says that a human should live a honorable life. I don’t want to settle out of court.” He Xiang’s expression gradually became firm.
Lin Shanchu crossed her arms and stared at her. “You aren’t going to settle out of court then.”
“Yes.” He Xiang smiled.
“When did that old man from the Cheng family ask you to meet him again?”
He Xiang replied, “Today.”
He Xiang contacted the old man sent by the Cheng family and both parties agreed to meet at a cafe.
As soon as they entered the cafe, He Xiang pulled Lin Shanchu’s sleeve and pointed somewhere.
“Sister Lin, it’s the old man in a suit sitting by the window…”
Lin Shanchu looked in the direction He Xiang was pointing at.
The white-haired old man was wearing a neatly ironed suit and tie. Even the cufflinks on his shirt cuffs were shiny.
Such exquisite clothing instantly distinguished him from ordinary old people. He was exuding an aura that made people dare not neglect him.
After Lin Shanchu and Xiang walked closer, He Xiang greeted politely, ‘Mr.
Yan.”
The old man was surnamed Yan?
Lin Shanchu looked at He Xiang in confusion.
Wasn’t he someone sent by the Cheng family?
The old man raised his head. When he saw Lin Shanchu, a scrutinizing look appeared on his face. However, his gaze only lingered on Lin Shanchu for two seconds before he looked away, so she did not feel uncomfortable.
He nodded slightly and said, “Ladies, please sit down.”
After Lin Shanchu sat down, she unabashedly sized up the old man opposite her.
“Sir, your surname is Yan?”
“I’m Yan Qicheng, the butler of the Cheng family in Capital City.”
Yan Qicheng’s tone was neither hurried nor slow when he spoke, but there was a sharp light hidden in his eyes.
He was just a butler despite the aura he exuded.
As expected of a wealthy family that could be on par with the Huo family via marriage alliance.
Since the other party was still polite, Lin Shanchu did not have a bone to pick with him, nor did she had to fall out with him.
“I’m Lin Shanchu, He Xiang’s elder sister.”
Lin Shanchu smiled and used the same tone as Yan Qicheng spoke just now. She spoke slowly, giving him the impression that she was a good talker.
“As far as I know, Miss He is your assistant, Miss Lin.” Yan Qicheng smiled slightly. He still spoke in polite tone, but the disdain in his eyes grew more obvious.
He was implying that Lin Shanchu should mind her own business.
Since Yan Qicheng was taking advantage of his seniority, Lin Shanchu did not intend to be polite with him.
“Aren’t you just a butler of the Cheng family? If a servant can do work for his master, can’t I lend a hand to my sister-like assistant as her boss?” He Xiang looked up at Lin Shanchu with a touched expression.
Lin Shanchu’s image in her mind grew even more.
When she met Yan Qicheng yesterday, it only took him a little effort to scare her to the point that she dared not speak.
Lin Shanchu was really brave. Not only was she not afraid at all, she even dared to mock Yan Qicheng directly.
Yan Qicheng’s expression froze.
“Miss Lin, it’s true that I’m just a butler who doesn’t get to have the final say. However, there are many people in the Cheng family have the final say. As long as you and Miss He agree to settle out of court, your future will be smooth sailing. ”
Yan Qicheng directly threatened them as he felt Lin Shanchu had touched a sore spot with him with the sarcastic remarks about him being a servant.
Lin Shanchu widened her eyes and asked seriously, “Is the Cheng family that powerful?”
Yan Qicheng thought that Lin Shanchu had taken his words to heart, so he revealed an enigmatic smile. “As long as you are willing to cooperate, everything will be fine.”
He thought that she was just a young lady would be afraid after a simple threat.
Lin Shanchu’s face darkened as she shouted coldly, “Go back and tell your master that we will never settle out of court!”
Yan Qicheng did not expect Lin Shanchu’s attitude would change so fast. He was taken aback for a moment before he reacted. “You better think it over!”
Lin Shanchu said indifferently, “If I have a bright future in the entertainment industry, it will be because the Cheng family is incapable.”
“You…” Yan Qicheng did not expect that Lin Shanchu would be unfazed by the threat. She even acted like she cared nothing about the consequences, as if nothing he said could threaten her.
“Let’s go.” Lin Shanchu pulled He Xiang’s hand and left.
He Xiang couldn’t help but laugh out loud when they left the cafe.
“Yan Qicheng’s expression changed just now.”
Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. “It’s best if that bad old man dies of heart attack or something for bullying a young lady.”
He Xiang thought that Lin Shanchu made the remark in a fit of pique, so she did not overthink it.
On the way to the parking lot, He Xiang was still a little worried and said, “Sister Lin, Yan Qicheng seems to hold a grudge. What if the Cheng family really makes a move to make you unable to survive in the entertainment industry in the future?”
Lin Shanchu thought about it seriously, but then she sighed and said, “In that case, I can only live off my boyfriend.”
“Pfft!” He Xiang laughed out loud.
“What are you laughing at? I’m serious.” Lin Shanchu turned to look at her and said, “If the Cheng family really wants to deal with me, I might not be able to withstand it. At that time, I can only beg Huo Xunzhou to save me.”
He Xiang stopped laughing. She just cleared her throat and winked at Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu, who sensed the signal, turned her head and saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in the car..
