When Xia Jinmeng stood up, she saw Lin Shanchu’s cold expression.

“Oh, you’re talking about that.” Lin Shanchu’s tone was neutral and disinterested.

“You said it yourself.” Xia Jinmeng was afraid that Lin Shanchu would turn her down.

“You…” Xia Jinmeng felt that Lin Shanchu didn’t want to help her. “I’ll go back to the dormitory first.” Lin Shanchu pushed Xia Jinmeng away.

Xia Jinmeng pulled her hair in frustration.

Lin Shanchu hummed a song as she returned to the dormitory.

Yun Wu was still lazing in bed.

Lin Shanchu walked to Yun Wu’s bed and knocked on the headboard. “You have 15 minutes before half past six.”

Yun Wu got up with her hair looking all messy and glanced at Lin Shanchu. Then, she lay back down.

Fail.

Lin Shanchu thought for a moment before deciding to use an effective method on her.

“The cafeteria has a limited supply of sandwiches this morning. You won’t get anything if you go there later.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Wu sat up straight on the bed.

“And they are bacon sandwiches,” Lin Shanchu added.

Yun Wu muttered, “I want to eat bacon sandwiches.” She flipped over and jumped off the bed, soon quickly running to the bathroom. It was no wonder the netizens called Yun Wu “The Glutton”.

She truly lived up to that title.

Yun Wu ate five sandwiches in satisfaction.

Lin Shanchu had only eaten two.

However, after seeing Yun Wu eat so much, she felt that it was a little embarrassing to only eat two, so she forcefully ate another one.

The extra sandwich left her completely stuffed.

Yun Wu went on a stroll with Lin Shanchu so that the latter could digest properly.

When they returned to the training room, Yun Wu stopped walking.

“Shanshan, what did you do to Xia Jinmeng?”

Lin Shanchu followed Yun Wu’s line of sight and saw Xia Jinmeng standing on the balcony on the third floor. She was looking at her intensely.

Lin Shanchu averted her gaze. ‘Why do you ask?”

“The way she’s looking at you now is like how she’s looking at a heartless man.” Lin Shanchu was speechless.

Yun Wu narrowed her eyes and stared at Lin Shanchu for two seconds before asking something shocking, “Do you like her?”

“How am I inferior to her?”

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

“Forget it, I’m not your beloved sister anymore.”

Lin Shanchu was confused. Why did Yun Wu suddenly become a drama queen?

She should have given Lin Shanchu a chance to speak up.

Lin Shanchu smiled and said softly, “If you continue to spout nonsense, don’t ever come to my house for meals again.”

“Big Sister, you’re my most beloved sister!” Yun Wu admitted defeat in a second. “After the show ends, can I stay at your house? I don’t have a house in Xu City either. I’m so pitiful..

After spending a long time with people of the same age, Yun Wu started to show signs of unleashing her true nature.

Who would have thought that Yun Wu, who had asked her for help with her makeup with a cold expression when they first met, would become like this one day?

However, this pitiful tone… It seemed a little familiar.

“What a coincidence. I don’t have a house either.”

Yun Wu was stunned for a moment, but soon she said very seriously, “It’s okay. I’ll buy one for you.”

“If you’re so rich, why don’t you buy a house for yourself first?”

“It doesn’t matter if I have a home or not. You, on the other hand, need a home.’

After all, one could only cook if they had a home, right?

If it wasn’t for the fact that she knew Yun Wu’s foodie persona, Lin Shanchu would have been touched.

“You can only cook if you have a home, right?” Yun Wu nodded silently.

“All right, let’s go back to the training room.”

Xia Jinmeng was waiting for Lin Shanchu at the stairwell.

As a sensible person, Yun Wu left right away.

Lin Shanchu turned to leave as well while ignoring Xia Jinmeng.

Xia Jinmeng followed closely behind her. As she walked, she exclaimed, “Lin Shanchu, you can’t go back on your word! ”

Her tone was very harsh.

It was as if Lin Shanchu was in the wrong for not helping her.

“What if I go back on my word?”Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks and looked at Xia Jinmeng expressionlessly.

Xia Jinmeng’s expression froze.

It was true that she couldn’t do anything to Lin Shanchu.

“Are you willing to watch Tang Qidai make a name for herself? Don’t forget, you are Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée! Don’t you want to get revenge on her?”

The more Xia Jinmeng spoke, the more agitated she became. It was as if she was the one being cuckolded.

This was the effect Lin Shanchu wanted.

This was human nature. The easier it was to get something, the less one would cherish it.

The more you can’t get it, the more you miss it.

She deliberately ignored Xia Jinmeng so that she could only think about Tang Qidai’s meteoric rise through Lu Shiyuan. It was only when her jealousy turned into a demon that Xia Jinmeng finally had the idea of replacing Tang Qidai.

After Xia Jinmeng made up her mind to replace Tang Qidai, Lin Shanchu decided to ignore her.

At this time, Xia Jinmeng couldn’t afford to wait because she had already made up her mind.

The more impatient she was, the more irrational she would become.

“This is my business. What does it have to do with you?” Lin Shanchu retorted coolly.

Xia Jinmeng wanted to speak up again, but Lin Shanchu didn’t give her another chance.

In the next few days, Xia Jinmeng still tried to persuade Lin Shanchu from time to time.

However, Lin Shanchu left as soon as she saw her, so Xia Jinmeng did not have the chance to speak at all.

Lin Shanchu still hid in the toilet every day to check on the Lu Corporation and Lu Shiyuan’s situation.

Although Lu Shiyuan’s power was dispersed by the shareholders, he could still maintain the normal operation of the Lu Corporation.

Interestingly enough, some people started to expose some dirt on Tang Qidai online.

Althought the scandals disappeared like a gust of wind after they were exposed, they still left digital tracks on the Internet. Those who wanted to see them would eventually see them.

Lin Shanchu knew that Qiao Jiaxi was starting to make a move.

Finally, she felt slightly relieved.

Qiao Jiaxi didn’t disappoint her.

Lin Shanchu’s mood improved a little.

She did not suffer from insomnia that night.

Soon, it was the night before the second public showdown.

Xia Jinmeng came to Lin Shanchu’s dormitory to look for her.

Lin Shanchu followed her out.

When the two of them reached a place where no one was around, Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at her. “Speak.”

Xia Jinmeng took a deep breath and said with determination, “As long as you’re willing to help me, I’m willing to give you the center position.”

The more Lin Shanchu refused to help her, the more anxious she became.

Her mind was filled with thoughts of replacing Tang Qidai.

Every day, she imagined how she would be able to do whatever she wanted in the entertainment industry after snatching Lu Shiyuan over.

She did not want to wait any longer.

Lin Shanchu’s eyes widened slightly, clearly surprised. “Oh?”

Although Xia Jinmeng was mean, she was clear-headed enough to know the importance of strength, so she had always valued the stage.

Lin Shanchu did not expect Xia Jinmeng to be willing to give up the center position to show her determination.

Lin Shanchu tilted his head and sized Xia Jinmeng up seriously.

“Xia Jinmeng, do you really want to take a shortcut?” she asked after a while..
