Chapter 34

Lin Shanchu was waiting in the studio.

She found herself a seat in the corner and sat down. Then, she took out her phone to scroll through Weibo.

She suddenly saw the top trending search:

#Lu Shiyuan thoughtfully escorted his fiancée, Lin Shanchu, to participate in ‘My Stage’

Lin Shanchu’s lips curved up slightly and clicked on it.

Lu Shiyuan had delivered himself to her doorstep, so it would be a waste not to take advantage of the popularity.

She had given everything to him for so many years, but he went on and helped Tang Qidai become famous.

Now, it was his turn to shine for his fiancée.

…

In the past, Tang Qidai had always been the one showing up on the trending list with Lu Shiyuan to show off their ‘friendship’.

This was the first time Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu had ‘publicly displayed their love’ together on the trending list.

Although Lu Shiyuan was a businessman, he was also a celebrity in the industry.

Who could control themselves from not reading the gossip regarding a celebrity?

Anyone who clicked on the trending list couldn’t help but take a look.

The comments underneath the topic were extraordinarily lively.

[Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu got onto the trending list together?! I thought I was mistaken, so I went out to take a look again! Sure enough, they’re the ones!]

[I used to think that Lu Shiyuan was forced to get engaged to Lin Shanchu, but after seeing the picture of the two of them looking at each other, I believe that they are truly in love.]

[He brought so many bodyguards just to escort her secretly. Is this the tale of romance between a fairy and a CEO? I’m crying right now.]

[Can someone tell me what kind of show ‘My Stage’ is? Are all the girls on this show as good-looking as Lin Shanchu? I can’t help but cry out of envy!]

[I think it’s a talent show invested in by Huo Xunzhou’s former manager. I don’t think the show’s started broadcasting yet.]

Everyone’s discussion gradually shifted to ‘My Stage’ and Lin Shanchu.

Of course, whenever Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu appeared, Tang Qidai would definitely be mentioned.

[The treatment of a real fiancée and a ‘good friend’ is different.]

[Can you not mention that killjoy of a woman underneath the topic of the engaged couple’s love for each other?]

[Just wait and see. Tang Qidai is on her way to ride on the popularity.]

…

By the time Tang Qidai found out about this hot topic, it had already gone viral.

Thanks to the picture of Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan looking at each other affectionately, they attracted a lot of fans who loved their relationship. Lin Shanchu’s Weibo fans also continued to increase.

Tang Qidai muttered to herself in disbelief, “How did this happen?”

Didn’t they agree that they were going to lock Lin Shanchu up in an asylum?

Why was Lu Shiyuan still escorting Lin Shanchu to the show?

Not only did it make it to the trending list, but it also went viral!

She had appeared on the trending list with Lu Shiyuan so many times, but the topics never went viral.

That b*tch really stole the limelight this time! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Sister Dai, everything is ready over there. You…”

The assistant came in and urged her to go for the shoot. Tang Qidai was still in a fit of anger, so she turned around and shouted at her, “Get lost!”

The assistant cried as she went out to look for her manager.

Her manager came in and saw her staring at her phone with a gloomy face. She advised her, “Daidai, don’t mess around.”

Tang Qidai was so angry that she directed all her anger at her manager.

“Look at how those motherless maggots are laughing at me on Weibo!

“Am I supposed to just watch that b*tch Lin Shanchu snatch Brother Shiyuan away?!

“Will Lin Shanchu, the b*tch who jinxed her parents to death, only know her place when she’s dead?!”

Tang Qidai was pacing back and forth in frustration and anger, her carefully styled hair now in a mess due to her pulling at it.

The manager seemed to be used to it as she stood silently at the side and listened to her increasingly excessive abuse.

She was the only one who knew that Tang Qidai, who used the persona of a rich young lady, was actually a hot-tempered and jealous maniac.

The manager only spoke up after Tang Qidai was done ranting.

“Now, no matter if you reply or not, those netizens will come and laugh at you. You might as well make a direct post on Weibo about it. At least you can get some popularity. As for Lin Shanchu, she’s going to participate in ‘My Stage’ and won’t be in contact with the outside world for three months. We have plenty of ways to deal with her outside.”

Tang Qidai’s expression gradually returned to normal. “Then I’ll let her have her moment for a couple of days!”

…

Tang Qidai made a Weibo post with this topic in mind.

Tang Qidai: [ #Lu Shiyuan thoughtfully escorted his fiancée, Lin Shanchu, to participate in ‘My Stage’ Oh my god, Shanshan and Brother Shiyuan are a perfect match! #blessing]

The netizens who had previously ridiculed her quickly rushed over.

[Oho! Whoever predicted this is godly! Sure enough, she’s here to ride on the popularity.]

Tang Qidai’s fans quickly came over to defend her.

[Daidai is beautiful and kind. She specifically posted on Weibo to give her blessings to her good friends.]

[She’s just trying to give her well wishes to her good friends on Weibo. This doesn’t mean she’s riding on the popularity.]

Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan’s newly-gained relationship fans entered the fray.

[You keep saying that they’re good friends. Has Lin Shanchu ever admitted that she’s good friends with your idol?]

[Tang Qidai has posted this for a long time, but Lin Shanchu didn’t even react to it with a like. Don’t you guys have any idea what’s really going on?]

[Lin Shanchu is unlucky to have such a ‘good friend’!]

In the relationship between the three of them, other than Tang Qidai’s die-hard fans who empathized with her, the others did not fall for the so-called ‘good friends’ trope.

Tang Qidai’s fan: [Lin Shanchu is participating in ‘My Stage’ today, so she has no time to browse through her phone. She and Daidai are good friends. They have a very good relationship. There is no need for us fans to quarrel like this and let others see us as a joke.]

What a coincidence.

Lin Shanchu, who supposedly had no time to browse through her phone, was madly scrolling through Weibo.

She finally understood why Tang Qidai always dragged Lu Shiyuan onto the trending list to gain popularity.

Looking at the increasing number of fans, Lin Shanchu sighed on the inside. “This is amazing!”

When she saw the posts of her relationship fans and Tang Qidai, she went straight to the main page and liked the comment of a verified account who praised her beauty.

The relationship fans quickly took a screenshot of the interaction and slapped Tang Qidai’s fans in the face with it.

[It’s true that our pretty sister doesn’t have time to play with her phone. She only has enough time to like an internet celebrity’s post. Anyway, she doesn’t have the time to react to the post of a certain ‘good friend’.]

Now that Tang Qidai’s fans were humiliated, they started to bash Lin Shanchu angrily.

But this time, the netizens were all on Lin Shanchu’s side.

[Who gave you the right to criticize the loving relationship between the fairy and the CEO?]

Lin Shanchu quietly exited Weibo after reaping the fame.

Just then, Nan Mu’s phone call came in.

“Lu Shiyuan has already left. That idiot… Ahem, I mean Lu Shiyuan didn’t even look at the contract. He just said that he wanted to pay the penalty for breaching the contract straight away and make you leave the production crew.”

Nan Mu was unable to hold back for a moment. Since he kept thinking that Lu Shiyuan was an idiot, he couldn’t help but say it out loud.

Lin Shanchu heard the words clearly and agreed with Nan Mu. “It’s true that he’s an idiot.”

“Huh?”

He did not expect that Lin Shanchu, who looked so polite and cultured, was capable of cursing.

Lin Shanchu was just about to speak when a new call came in.

When she saw the caller ID, she smiled. “Lu Shiyuan is calling me right now. Let me answer it first.”
