Chapter 221 - 221: He Had Expected Lin Shanchu Would Come to See Him

He Xiang thought that Lin Shanchu wanted Qi Cheng to drive her to the hospital, just like last time.

“Sister Lin, actually, I know how to drive too. I have a driver’s license and I am a steady driver.”

Lin Shanchu rarely used the car that the company had given her. Basically, Qi Cheng would drive over and pick her up every time she went out.

Lin Shanchu nodded. “Alright then. I’ll let you drive today.”

He Xiang replied happily, “Okay.”

After the two of them finished breakfast, He Xiang was about to call Qi Cheng.

Lin Shanchu stopped her. “I’ll tell him.”

“Alright, then I’ll go pack my things.” Without overthinking it, He Xiang turned around and entered the room.

The car that Nan Mu had given Lin Shanchu had excellent performance and was very comfortable.

The car drove into the center of the city and started to get stuck in traffic.

Outside the window was the city’s landmark building.

Lin Shanchu took a photo of the building and posted it on Weibo.

The post was textless with only a good morning emoji. The fans immediately recognized the building in the photo.

[I just went here yesterday!]

[Good morning, Sister Rabbit.]

[You’re having a good time here. Because of you, someone was cyberbullied and committed suicide!]

[Sister, why did you post such a photo? Everyone knows this location immediately. Isn’t it unsafe?]

If the fans could tell what this place was, the reporters must be on their way.

Lin Shanchu turned off Weibo happily.

He Xiang turned her head and looked at Lin Shanchu. “Sister Lin, you haven’t told me which hospital you’re going to.”

Lin Shanchu accurately reported the name of a private hospital.

Xiang was no stranger to the name of this private hospital.

Tang Qidai used to go to this hospital for checkups.

He Xiang suddenly had a sense of foreboding. “Sister Lin, aren’t we going to the hospital for a physical examination today?”

“Who said I was going for a physical examination?” Lin Shanchu asked instead.

He Xiang was stunned.

At this moment, Lin Shanchu’s phone rang.

It was a call was from Qi Cheng.

“Brother Qi.”

“Didn’t you promise me yesterday that you wouldn’t simply leave the house?

You should at least tell me if you’re going out.”

“You saw my Weibo post.”

Compared to Qi Cheng’s anxious tone, Lin Shanchu sounded much more relaxed.

Qi Cheng was exasperated by her and asked angrily, “Where are you going?”

“To see Lu Shiyuan.”

“You! Why are you looking for him at this juncture?”

He Xiang, who was beside her, turned her head abruptly and looked at her.

“Sister Lin, you’re going to meet Lu Shiyuan.”

“Put me on speaker.” Qi Cheng urged Lin Shanchu over the phone.

Lin Shanchu obediently turned on the speaker.

Qi Cheng shouted over the phone, “He Xiang, drive back quickly. Don’t let Shanshan meet Lu Shiyuan.”

A car quickly drove up from the side with a camera on the window.

He Xiang looked to the other side and saw the same scene. He Xiang was helpless. “It’s too late, Brother Qi.”

“What’s wrong?”

“We’re surrounded by paparazzi.”

Lin Shanchu brought the phone to her front. “Brother Qi, I’ll hang up the phone first and chat with the reporters. I’ll send you a recording later. Remember to listen to it when you receive it. Bye.”

She finished her words without taking a breath, leaving Qi Cheng no room to express himself.

Qi Cheng felt a headache coming on as he looked at the phone that had been hung up.

He knew that Lin Shanchu would not be so obedient.

Lin Shanchu clicked open Qi Cheng’s WeChat avatar before she turned to look at He Xiang.

He Xiang smiled at her. “Have you sent it to Brother Qi?”

“It’s done.” Lin Shanchu clicked the send button.

Then, she turned to look at the reporter in the car next to her who had been frantically taking photos of her.

“Hi reporter friend, have you had breakfast?” Lin Shanchu asked loudly.

The reporter looked at her from the side of the camera. His mouth was stuffed as he waved the remaining egg roll in his hand. “I’m eating.”

“You’re working so hard.”

“It’s not hard as long as I can get a shot of you.”

He Xiang, who was thinking about how to get rid of the reporters, turned around and saw that Lin Shanchu was chatting with the reporter.

“Sister Lin, it’s hard for me to get rid of them when you are like this.”

“Take them to the hospital then.”

He Xiang suddenly understood that Lin Shanchu had deliberately lured the reporters over.

The reporter was still shouting at Lin Shanchu, “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to the hospital to visit a patient, ” Lin Shanchu replied with a smile. The reporter’s eyes gleamed. “Whom are you going to visit?”

“Of course, it’s someone close,” Lin Shanchu said, propping up her chin.

“Oh.” The reporter suddenly said, “This angle of yours is pretty good. Don’t move around. I’ll take a few photos of you.”

“Okay, thank you.” Lin Shanchu began to pose seriously.

He Xiang was puzzled.

Were the paparazzi so kind nowadays? They even helped to take nice photos?

The paparazzi’s cars followed Lin Shanchu all the way to the hospital.

This private hospital was relatively strict when it came to confidentiality. The people who came here for treatment and recuperation were either rich or noble, so the security check was quite strict.

Lin Shanchu was currently very popular, so the security guard knew her.

“Are you here to see President Lu?”

“Yes, I am.”

Lin Shanchu was immediately allowed to pass through the checkpoint.

The camera on the paparazzi was too conspicuous, so the security guard did not let them in.

Lin Shanchu arrived at the Inpatient Department and asked the nurses, “Excuse me, which ward is Lu Shiyuan in?”

“I’ll take you there.” The nurse’s eyes brightened as she sized up Lin Shanchu curiously. Then she walked ahead and led the way.

When Lin Shanchu reached the entrance of the ward, she heard Tang Qidai’s voice coming from inside.

“Brother Shiyuan, you have to take a bite at least.

“Brother Shiyuan…’

“I told you I don’t want to eat.”

Lu Shiyuan enunciated his words heavily, showing his impatience.

It was not Lu Shiyuan’s style. He had treated Tang Qidai as nice as he could in the past.

The nurse managed her expression well, as if she did not hear anything. She reached out to help Lin Shanchu knock on the door.

Lin Shanchu gently raised her hand to indicate that there was no need to do that.

“I’ll do it myself.”

“Alright, you can call us if you need anything.”

The nurse left with a gossipy look on her face.

Lin Shanchu did not even knock on the door and just pushed it open.

“Don’t you know how to knock? Your hospital…” Tang Qidai scolded as she had nowhere to vent her anger.

However, she quickly fell silent after seeing the person who came in was Lin Shanchu.

When Lu Shiyuan saw Lin Shanchu, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, but then he showed a look of entitlement.

It was as if he had expected Lin Shanchu would come and see him.

“How dare you come here?” Tang Qidai strode up to Lin Shanchu. “Look at what you’ve done to Brother Shiyuan!”

Lin Shanchu did not talk back to Tang Qidai arrogantly like before. Instead, she sized Tang Qidai up seriously.

“What are you looking at?” Tang Qidai frowned.

Lin Shanchu said softly, “The manager you’ve worked with for many years has committed suicide. You don’t look sad at all.”

A trace of panic flashed across Tang Qidai’s eyes, but she quickly calmed down. “How do you know I’m not sad?”

At this moment, Lu Shiyuan said, “Qidai, go back and rest..”
