When the reporters heard this, they were collectively stunned for a second.

The people related to negative news had always avoided reporters.

This was the first time they had met someone as cooperative as Lin Shanchu.

After the reporters reacted, they frantically rushed to point their microphones in front of Lin Shanchu.

They all wanted to get the first scoop.

A few of them almost hit Lin Shanchu’s face.

Everyone had tender feelings for a beautiful woman like Lin Shanchu who was very cooperative, so someone quickly reminded, “Don’t hit her face!” The few reporters who were about to hit Lin Shanchu’s face retreated. “Lin Shanchu, can you please answer our questions?”

Lin Shanchu held the microphone and said with a calm expression, “Three years ago, I was just a student at the film academy. Lu Shiyuan was the one handling Jing Ming’s case. I don’t know the details.”

“Are you saying that this has nothing to do with you? Are you trying to absolve yourself?” the reporter asked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“No,” Lin Shanchu replied.

“Then, as Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée, do you think you should be responsible for this?” the reporter asked.

Lin Shanchu: “As Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée, this has nothing to do with me.

“But you’re Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée!”

Lin Shanchu replied, “There’s this saying that says if one doesn’t benefit from a source, then one doesn’t get involved in the source’s troubles as well. This saying is also applicable to my relationship with Lu Shiyuan. Although I’m Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée, I’ve never received any care from him in the entertainment industry all these years. So, do you think I’m responsible?”

The reporter was speechless.

All the reporters there were entertainment reporters. Every year, they would count on Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidai’s love-hate relationship to complete their article quota.

They knew best how miserable Lin Shanchu had been all these years. They knew very well how much Lu Shiyuan had taken care of Tang Qidai all these years.

Therefore, Lin Shanchu’s words made sense.

The series of questions that the reporters had prepared were all blocked by Lin Shanchu’s words.

After a moment.

The reporter asked again, “Lu Shiyuan sponsored 100 million dollars to my stage. How do you explain this?”

Lin Shanchu answered, “The Lu Corporation is a listed company. Any investment project is evaluated by a professional team. Individual shareholders have no absolute decision-making power.”

What she meant was that investing in “My Stage” was a company’s business, not a personal matter.

The reporter was speechless. It didn’t feel wrong, but it also felt that something was wrong.

This time, the reporter did not know what to ask.

But he was not willing to let Lin Shanchu go like this.

At this time, Lin Shanchu’s expression suddenly became stern as she said seriously, “But don’t worry, everyone. Jing Ming used to be a member of the Lu Corporation. We of the Lu Corporation will definitely reinvestigate this matter and give everyone an explanation.”

The reporter was confused.

Didn’t she just say that this matter had nothing to do with her?

Why did she suddenly say “we of the Lu Corporation”?

Women were too fickle!

“Ms. Lin, what do you mean by that?”

Lin Shanchu looked at the camera, her eyes clear and firm. “Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée doesn’t have to be responsible for this matter, but the shareholders of the Lu Corporation have to be responsible for this.”

The reporter gasped in shock. “Are you a shareholder of the Lu Corporation?”

Lin Shanchu said, “Everyone here might have forgotten about this, but my parents were once founders of the Lu Corporation.”

A reporter couldn’t help but blurt out, “Holy sh*t!”

Lin Shanchu didn’t have much of a presence for so many years, so everyone had completely forgotten about it.

“Thank you for your concern for the Lu Corporation. We’ll cooperate with the investigation, but now, I need to return to the training camp.”

After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she bowed to the camera.

Then, she walked toward a black car that was parked across the street.

When she was almost there, Li MO got out of the car and opened the door for her.

“Ms. Lin, please get in the car.”

Lin Shanchu felt that the way Li MO looked at her was a little different from usual.

She looked inside.

Huo Xunzhou was sitting by the window. He clutched his phone as he looked out the window.

“Thank you,” Lin Shanchu said. Then, she got into the car.

Li MO started the car.

Lin Shanchu’s phone rang.

It was a call from the production crew.

“Ms. Lin, where are you? We’re coming to pick you up now.”

Did the staff just call her Ms. Lin?

Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou. “I met Mr. Huo. You don’t have to fetch me anymore.”

After hanging up, she noticed Huo Xunzhou still maintaining the same position of looking out the window.

The car was extremely quiet.

It seemed like she should say something.

“Mr. Huo?” Lin Shanchu called out.

Huo Xunzhou ignored her as if he had not heard her.

Li MO, on the other hand, looked at her in the rearview mirror and coughed on purpose.

Big Brother didn’t like to be called Mr. Huo, after all.

Of course, he would never pay attention to her if she were to keep calling him that.

Lin Shanchu cast her gaze on the driver’s seat.

Li MO gave her a look through the rearview mirror.

Lin Shanchu understood right away.

She hesitated for a moment before nudging Huo Xunzhou with her elbow.

She then called his name.

“Huo Xunzhou.”

The man who had always treated her like she was invisible was finally willing to talk to her.

“So, you finally remembered my name.” Lin Shanchu was speechless.

The stingy man was being sarcastic to her.

“Why aren’t you saying anything, President Lin?” Huo Xunzhou asked.

Lin Shanchu blinked. “You guys saw the interview? ”

“I didn’t expect Ms. Lin to be a shareholder of the Lu Corporation, ” Li MO replied from the front.

No wonder Li MO had looked at her with envy.

It turned out that she had seen the interview.

“Yes. Your big brother knows about this.” She had previously used her shares to ask Huo Xunzhou for a collaboration, but he had rejected her.

“Oh.” Li MO glanced at the rearview mirror with a look that said, “I knew there was more to your relationship.” Lin Shanchu was speechless.

She felt numb on the inside.

Whatever. Let it be a misunderstanding.

He wouldn’t believe her even if she explained it to him.

When they arrived at the entrance of the training camp, Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu got out of the car first.

Li MO, on the other hand, drove to the parking lot.

Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair and turned to look at her. “Let’s go,” he said.

“Are we not waiting for Li MO?”

Seeing that Huo Xunzhou had no intention of waiting for Li MO, Lin Shanchu pushed him inside.

“You’re better at seizing opportunities than I thought, Shanshan,” Huo Xunzhou said slowly.

He was referring to the interview.

While Lu Shiyuan was being scolded by the entire internet, Lin Shanchu used her identity as the company’s shareholder to stand out and respond to the incident immediately. Naturally, she could gain the netizens’ favor.

Lin Shanchu stopped.

She leaned over and whispered into Huo Xunzhou’s ear, “I’ll have to thank you for giving me this opportunity, Brother Xunzhou.”

Huo Xunzhou’s body stiffened.

Lin Shanchu thought that he was shocked by her words, and a smug smile flashed across her eyes.

“You didn’t expect this, did you? I knew it.” Huo Xunzhou turned to look at her.

“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do.”

There was a smile in his eyes, and he was not surprised at all.

Lin Shanchu was slightly startled. “Aren’t you going to ask me how I guessed

“With our relationship and mutual understanding, it’s a problem if I can’t guess it right.” Huo Xunzhou’s smile deepened.

What was their relationship? Where did they get such a tacit understanding?

Lin Shanchu frowned and thought about it, then realized that Huo Xunzhou had been teasing her the whole time..
