Lin Shanchu stopped and typed hard on the phone screen with bond hands.

In the end, the edited message was not sent out.

She deleted all of it and sent Huo Xunzhou a few emojis.

On the other side, Huo Xunzhou smiled as he looked at the emojis that were constantly being sent over.

Lin Shanchu was not cruel at all.

She actually sent him so many messages.

Huo Xunzhou also wanted to send her an emoji.

However, when he clicked on the heart-shaped logo, he realized that his collection column was empty.

He could only open the dialog box with Nan Mu.

Among the many emojis sent by Nan Mu, he found an emoji of a cute kitten being stroked on the head.

A kitten.

Yes, they looked very similar.

Hence, Huo Xunzhou sent the emoji to Lin Shanchu.

When Lin Shanchu received the emoji, she was already in the lobby.

After looking at the picture of the kitten being stroked on the head on the phone screen, Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou with a complicated expression.

His face was still as cold as ever.

Lin Shanchu really could not associate him with the emoji he had sent.

After taking a deep look at him, she hastened her pace and returned to the private room with a puzzled expression.

When Li MO saw Lin Shanchu come in alone, he asked, “Where’s my big brother?”

Given the relationship between Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu, if they met on the road, she would have to help him push the wheelchair.

“How would I know?” Lin Shanchu replied coldly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li MO was speechless.

Lin Shanchu had never spoken to him in such a tone before.

She must have had a huge conflict with Huo Xunzhou to vent her anger on him.

However, Huo Chaosheng suddenly burst out laughing.

Lin Shanchu glared at him without showing him any respect.

Huo Chaosheng quickly lowered his head and pretended that nothing had happened. He whispered to Li MO, who was sitting next to him, “Lin Shanchu’s love has turned into hatred.”

Li MO replied, “Huh?”

Huo Chaosheng said, “When we had dinner at Nan Mu’s house last time, she secretly kissed Third Brother and angered him. After we went back, I persuaded him for a long time before he stopped dwelling on it…’

Li MO replied. “…Oh?”

Huo Chaosheng didn’t really think that he deserved such a great honor in front of Huo Xunzhou, did he?

A certain scene that he encountered at Huo Xunzhou’s house flashed across Li Mo’s mind.

At that time… the two of them looked like they had done the deed.

Huo Xunzhou seemed to a proactive person.

If Lin Shanchu really kissed him secretly, wouldn’t he be overjoyed?

He sighed and lamented that he missed a lot of scenes because he did not make it to the dinner at Nan Mu’s house on that day.

When Huo Xunzhou returned to the private room, Lin Shanchu left with He Xiang.

It was as if she did not want to stay there for another second.

Looking at the closed door of the private room, Huo Chaosheng said softly, “Third Brother, are you really not going to consider Lin Shanchu? Her cooking is so delicious. Aren’t you moved at all?”

Huo Xunzhou said coldly, “If you like someone who can cook, I can get you all the famous chefs in the world.”

“It’s a pity that she doesn’t like me. If she did, I would have been together with her,” Huo Chaosheng said regretfully.

Huo Xunzhou’s expression remained unchanged. He only narrowed his eyes slightly. “Stay away from her.”

“Why?” Huo Chaosheng tilted his head and looked at him in confusion.

“You know what she did to Lu Shiyuan.” Huo Xunzhou cast a deep gaze at Huo Chaosheng. “I hope you will have less interaction with her.”

Huo Chaosheng was taken aback for a moment. “Third Brother, I know you care about me, but don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I won’t let myself get hurt. ”

Huo Xunzhou’s voice sank. “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll have to inform Father to get someone to pick you up.”

Huo Chaosheng’s expression changed slightly. “I’ll listen to you. I’ll try my best not to interact with Lin Shanchu.”

Only then did Huo Xunzhou’s tone soften. “It’s getting late. Let’s go home.” Li MO listened to their conversation expressionlessly on the side.

Although Huo Xunzhou’s imbecile little brother had done all kinds of stupid things, he was like a obedient sheep in front of his elder brother.

He was almost brainwashed by his elder brother.

On the way back, Lin Shanchu felt a little sleepy.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard He Xiang calling her, “Sister Lin, sit tight.”

“Okay,” Lin Shanchu answered in a daze.

In the next moment, the car suddenly changed lanes and made a turn. Lin Shanchu was swayed around by the inertia, so she held tight to the armrest.

“What’s wrong?”

“Someone is following us.”

He Xiang looked into the rearview mirror from time to time.

She thought the person following her was not an expert as He Xiang managed to discover them.

Lin Shanchu turned around and looked back.

It was a white car.

She could not see the person clearly from a distance, but she could see the license plate number clearly.

Sensing that Lin Shanchu was looking back, the person in the white car even hid themselves.

Lin Shanchu turned around and said to He Xiang, “Don’t get rid of the car. Drive to a sparsely populated place.”

“Isn’t it too risky?” He Xiang understood that Lin Shanchu wanted to confront the person who was following them.

“Don’t worry.” Lin Shanchu had already turned on her phone excitedly.

The top post on Weibo was a video of a girl talking about the workplace violence she suffered when she was a personal assistant.

Many netizens talked about their experiences.

In this world, there would always be places where the sunshine could not reach.

Therefore, there would always be evil in this world.

It was inevitable.

The clear-headed ones chose to ask for help.

The brave ones chose to save themselves.

What about those who were neither clear-headed nor brave?

The answer was that they would die in a dark corner where no one would find them.

However, it was clearly not their fault.

There were always so many injustices in this world.

“Sister Lin, Brother Qi called me.”

Hearing He Xiang’s voice, Lin Shanchu raised her head.

He Xiang’s phone had stopped vibrating.

The next moment, Lin Shanchu’s phone rang.

She picked up the phone and said, “Brother Qi.”

“Our side is ready. Now we need He Xiang’s cooperation.” Qi Cheng’s tone sounded a little solemn.

Lin Shanchu put him on speaker. “You may talk to He Xiang.”

“What is it?” He Xiang asked upon hearing her words.

Qi Cheng asked her, “Are you willing to use your own account to post that recording?”

At this moment, the car had already driven into a sparsely populated area.

He Xiang parked the car by the roadside.

She quietly looked ahead for a while before she said, “Alright.”

He Xiang picked up her phone and turned on Weibo.

Qi Cheng reminded her on the other end of the phone, “Put the topic hastag

#workplaceviolence.”

He Xiang turned to look at Lin Shanchu.

“The company bought it.” Lin Shanchu saw through her confusion.

The topic of #workplaceviolence was Nan Mu’s way of laying the foreshadowing for He Xiang’s self-destruction.

Riding on the wind of this topic, Tang Qidai and He Xiang were brought to the center of the scandal.

There was also Tang Qidai’s manager, Kong Suyi, who had committed suicide due to the so-called cyberbullying.

Lin Shanchu would be able to successfully extricate herself from this mess if she could prove that Tang Qidai had abused her manager and assistant at the workplace..
