Chapter 177 - 177: The Decision Is Not Up To You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Jinmeng had a feeling that Lin Shanchu was not answering her question on purpose.

Since Lin Shanchu was still in the mood to play the guessing game with her, it meant that she hadn’t gone to the director’s office.

Therefore, Jiang Ziyu did not succeed.

At the thought of this, Xia Jinmeng heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as Lin Shanchu didn’t know that she was in cahoots with Jiang Ziyu, it would be fine.

However, there was something strange. Jiang Ziyu never came to look for her.

If Lin Shanchu hadn’t gone to the director’s office, Jiang Ziyu would definitely have come looking for her again.

At the thought of this, Xia Jinmeng’s heart, which had just settled down, started pumping anxiously.

Jiang Ziyu definitely wouldn’t have given up just like that.

Jiang Ziyu and Tang Qidai’s original plan was to release the video on the day of the third performance.

Seeing that there were only a few days left until then, they needed to hurry.

Having figured everything out, Xia Jinmeng relaxed and asked, “Why didn’t you

She needed to know if Lin Shanchu was suspecting her.

If Lin Shanchu wasn’t suspicious of her, she would still have a chance.

If Lin Shanchu were suspicious of her, it would be a little troublesome to deceive her into meeting Jiang Ziyu next time.

Lin Shanchu observed all of Xia Jinmengs changes in expression.

She gently smiled and said, “I went.”

‘What?” Xia Jinmeng’s smile froze on her face.

“I said…” Lin Shanchu leaned close to Xia Jinmeng’s ear and spoke word by word, “I went to the director’s office.”

Xia Jinmeng’s eyes widened in shock and fear.

Lin Shanchu had led Xia Jinmeng onto an entire rollercoaster ride of emotions just to see the expression she was having right now.

Lin Shanchu held her tender smile and reached out to stroke Xia Jinmeng’s head, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Jiang Ziyu.”

Xia Jinmeng’s body was stiff as if she had been glued to the ground. Under Lin

Shanchu’s gentle caress, she did not dare to make a move.

Lin Shanchu went to the director’s office!

Lin Shanchu escaped from Jiang Ziyu’s hands!

A long time had passed since Lin Shanchu left the director’s office, yet she didn’t confront Xia Jinmeng face-to-face. Instead, she waited for Xia Jinmeng to come knocking on her door…

Within that period of time, Lin Shanchu must have thought of a way to deal with her.

The more Xia Jinmeng thought, the colder her body felt.

When Lin Shanchu withdrew her hand, Xia Jinmeng seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

“What’s wrong with Xia Jinmeng?” A passing trainee asked with concern, “Why does she look so pale?”

Xia Jinmeng just had a blank expression and didn’t react at all.

Lin Shanchu smiled and spoke, “She’s probably hypoglycemic. Do you have any sugar?”

“I don’t. Let me ask if the others have any.”

The trainee ran off and soon returned with a yogurt drink.

“There’s no sugar, only a yogurt drink.”

“Yogurt is fine too.”

Lin Shanchu took the yogurt and slowly tore it open. Then, she held Xia Jinmeng’s chin and forcefully inserted the straw into her mouth.

“Although it isn’t sugar, this can alleviate the situation urgently. When you have to make do, you have to make do.”

Lin Shanchu maintained a smiling and gentle expression throughout.

Seeing Lin Shanchu so considerately feeding Xia Jinmeng the yogurt drink, the other trainee turned and left, feeling reassured.

Xia Jinmeng was biting the straw in her mouth, not daring to move. “Don’t you think so, Xia Jinmeng?” Lin Shanchu asked her seriously.

Xia Jinmeng trembled as she replied, “Yes.”

“Then why aren’t you drinking?!” Lin Shanchu’s tone suddenly became heavier, her gentle voice turned unusually cold.

Xia Jinmeng was shocked and did not dare to resist her. She obediently began to drink the yogurt.

They were all despicable people who bullied the kind -hearted.

Lin Shanchu’s perspective changed.

Cultivating a young sapling requires great patience.

Even if this sapling grew crooked, in the end, it was still wood, right?

At least it had some use.

Starting over with a new sapling would be too costly and time-consuming.

She didn’t have so much time to wait.

Xia Jinmeng was forced to slurp down a packet of yogurt.

Lin Shanchu patted her head as if she was proud of her, “Good girl. Seeing how obedient you are, I will continue to help you get everything you want.”

Xia Jinmeng doubted if she was hearing things.

“You… You don’t blame me?”

“Of course I can’t blame you. It’s all Tang Qidai’s fault. She forced you to do this, didn’t she?”

Lin Shanchu considerately provided Xia Jinmeng with an excuse to absolve herself of blame.

“Yes!” Xia Jinmeng hurriedly nodded. This was all Tang Qidai’s idea. It was all her fault! I didn’t want to harm you!”

Lin Shanchu managed to escape from Jiang Ziyu and Tang Qidai’s so-called foolproof plan failed again.

Xia Jinmeng had a feeling that Tang Qidai might not be able to defeat Lin Shanchu.

If that was the case, she might as well switch sides as soon as possible.

Although Lin Shanchu had a mysterious personality and was difficult to read, she was more soft-hearted than that vile Tang Qidai. After dealing with Tang Qidai, she could seek help from Lu Shiyuan to deal with Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu helped Xia Jinmeng to her feet and said sweetly, “Let’s go back now.”

Xia Jinmeng left happily.

Lin Shanchu remained in place, her gaze gradually turning cold.

Some people were like this, always finding excuses for their actions.

In the end, they blamed everything on others, never reflecting on themselves, taking no responsibility, and repeating the same mistakes.

There was a reason why Xia Jinmeng was worse off than Tang Qidai.

Tang Qidai had clear goals, was patient, and was ruthless. But in the end, she got what she wanted.

Xia Jinmeng on the other hand, was far from successful.

People had to take responsibility for their choices.

Whether it was Tang Qidai, Xia Jinmeng, or even herself.

The next afternoon, Huo Chaosheng appeared in the training room.

Lin Shanchu had overheard Huo Xunzhou and Li Mo’s conversation yesterday, so she wasn’t surprised at Huo Zhaosheng’s arrival.

When no one else was around, Huo Zhaosheng approached Lin Shanchu, “You don’t seem surprised by my appearance.”

Lin Shanchu’s expression was cold, “Since you dared to take action, naturally, you must have had a way to get out of it.”

“So, I really didn’t misjudge you. You do understand me.” Huo Chaosheng laughed, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Lin Shanchu didn’t know why his casual words could hit Huo Chaosheng like this.

Huo Zhaosheng came even closer and said mysteriously, “I know which hospital that person is in.”

Lin Shanchu thought about it and reacted, “Jiang Ziyu?”

“Yes.” Huo Chaosheng nodded heavily, appearing somewhat obedient.

For a pervert like him, the more normal and cute his expression was, the more it indicated that his mind was filled with perverse thoughts.

“What are you planning?” Lin Shanchu squinted.

“Do you want to kill him? I can do it at any time,” Huo Chaosheng’s tone was so casual it sounded like he was chatting with her.

It was as if killing someone was as simple as eating and washing your hands.

“We are not the same kind!” Huo Chaosheng was a complete pervert!

Huo Chaosheng shook his head and looked unhappy, “The decision is not up to you..”
