Chapter 59 - 59: Crashed Due to Fear

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Jinmeng seemed to not have heard Wen Tongtong’s cries for help. Instead, she stayed in place without moving.

She seemed to be lost in thought.

No one knew what she was thinking.

“Jinmeng?” Wen Tongtong’s voice became more and more flustered.

At this moment, Xia Jinmeng took out her phone from her pocket and sneered at Lin Shanchu.

“Lin Shanchu, once I take a picture of you hurting people with a blade, how long do you think you can keep flaunting?”

Lin Shanchu didn’t even bat an eye at Xia Jinmeng’s threat.

She turned her head slightly and looked at Wen Tongtong, who was already stunned.

“Wen Tongtong, when you were working so hard for Xia Jinmeng, have you ever thought that such a day would come?”

Wen Tongtong looked at Xia Jinmeng in a daze before begging, “No, Jinmeng…

I want to make my debut… I don’t want my face to be cut…”

Xia Jinmeng sneered in return. “Didn’t you say that we’re good friends and that you’ll do anything for me?”

Wen Tongtong stared at Xia Jinmeng in disbelief. “Are we really friends?”

“Silly girl.” Lin Shanchu gently leaned into Wen Tongtong’s ear and whispered hypnotizingly, “Of course not, she’s just using you as her weapon.”

Wen Tongtong turned around and looked at Lin Shanchu in a daze.

Lin Shanchu reached out to help her tuck her hair behind her ear. Her voice was very gentle as if the two of them had a very close relationship.

“Think about it. You’ve always been working for Xia Jinmeng. When has she ever helped you? ”

Wen Tongtong recalled the past.

Memories of the past flashed through her mind.

Xia Jinmeng was sick, so she bought medicine for Xia Jinmeng.

When someone scolded Xia Jinmeng, she retorted immediately.

When she was a trainee overseas, Xia Jinmeng was already getting paid, but she was still the one paying for the meals every time they went out.

In her memory, Xia Jinmeng always looked for her because she needed her help.

Whenever she needed Xia Jinmeng’s help, Xia Jinmeng would always come up with all sorts of excuses to avoid her.

Xia Jinmeng waited for a long time, but Lin Shanchu still didn’t cut Wen Tongtong’s face. She started to get anxious.

“Wen Tongtong, why are you still listening to her nonsense at this time?” she asked.

“Even if we can’t take her unsavory pictures, as long as we can get a video of her hurting people with a blade, we can still destroy her! “Hurry up! Otherwise, it’ll be too late when the others come back!

“Don’t you hate her too?”

Wen Tongtong slowly turned her head and looked at Xia Jinmeng with resentment in her eyes. “I don’t hate Lin Shanchu.”

‘What?” Xia Jinmeng didn’t expect Wen Tongtong to change her mind at the last minute. “What are you…”

Wen Tongtong’s shriek interrupted Xia Jinmeng.

“I hate Lin Shanchu because of you! You told me Lin Shanchu came to steal your limelight and your position in Class A, so I targeted her everywhere!” Xia Jinmeng was originally recording a video.

Hearing this, she looked up from her phone screen. “What do you mean? Are you saying that you blame me?”

Xia Jinmeng’s face was full of disdain. “I didn’t ask you to do all this. You’re the one who’s targeting Lin Shanchu!”

Lin Shanchu noticed that Wen Tongtong’s fists, which were hanging by her sides, were slowly balled together.

It was time.

Lin Shanchu slowly released the grip she had on Wen Tongtong.

“Are you even human?”

Wen Tongtong was so angry that she got up and pounced on Xia Jinmeng.

The two of them started to fight.

Wen Tongtong pulled Xia Jinmeng’s hair while scolding, “You b*tch!”

“You’re the f*cking b*tch! You’re like a damn pug who keeps sticking to me! I can’t get rid of you even if I want to!” Xia Jinmeng also wanted to pull Wen Tongtong’s hair.

It was a pity, though.

Wen Tongtong had short hair.

She was also stronger than Xia Jinmeng.

Xia Jinmeng tried to grab Wen Tongtong’s hair but failed.

As the two of them tore at each other, the phone fell to the ground.

Lin Shanchu picked up Xia Jinmeng’s phone and deleted the video that she had recorded of her pinning Wen Tongtong down.

After that, she opened the mailbox and found a text message from Tang Qidai to Xia Jinmeng.

[Do you know that Lin Shanchu has been on the trending list almost every day since she joined the production crew? Her popularity is extremely high. This popularity should have been yours.

[You still have a chance if you can only make Lin Shanchu leave the production crew before the theme song is recorded.

[Lin Shanchu’s debut spot should have been yours. You’re just taking back what belongs to you.

[As long as we can photograph her nudes and post them, Lin Shanchu’s reputation will be ruined. She will have to leave the production crew by then.

[This should be easy to do.]

Tang Qidai was exactly the same as in the original novel.

In fact, she was even more ruthless than the version in the original novel. Women knew that what-if scenarios could ruin other women.

[As expected of the main female antagonist of the novel…]

The system’s voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Shanchu could vaguely hear a hint of appreciation from the system’s mechanical voice.

“There’s no need to be envious,” she said with a half-smile. “I can do what Tang Qidai can do.”

The system was speechless.

Lin Shanchu looked at Xia Jinmeng and Wen Tongtong, who were already fighting on the ground. ‘You see, I know how to drive a wedge between people too.”

The system was silent for a full five seconds before it squeezed out five words.

[As long as you’re happy.]

Lin Shanchu thought of something else.

“If I let Xia Jinmeng and Wen Tongtong take a picture of me, will I be rewarded?”

This useless system was as perverted as Lu Shiyuan.

However, there was a difference between the two.

Lu Shiyuan was a pervert, to begin with.

The perverted thing about the trashy system was that it always made her carry out the tasks of receiving abuse from others.

The system’s tone suddenly became excited. “Yes!”

Lin Shanchu sneered. “What exactly is the value of keeping around a sick system like you? Won’t people kill you for real?” The system was so scared that it glitched out.

It was useless, perverted, and cowardly.

Even if no one wanted to kill the system, it would probably die on its own.

Noticing its frightened state, Lin Shanchu laughed at it mercilessly. “Can systems really be killed?”

An alarm sounded in Lin Shanchu’s mind.

Then, the world fell silent.

Lin Shanchu tried to call out to the system in her mind.

However, the system did not respond.

Did… it crash?

Wasn’t it a little too useless?

Lin Shanchu put the phone in her pocket.

Xia Jinmeng and Wen Tongtong’s hair and clothes were in a mess.

They were no longer as beautiful and proper as they were in front of the camera.

They were clearly two crazy women.

This fight wasn’t very pleasing to the eye.

Lin Shanchu walked around them, opened the door, and walked out.

After taking two steps, she turned back and stuck her head through the door to look at them. “My roommates will be back soon. If you don’t want to be laughed at by others, you have to finish this quickly.”

Lin Shanchu even thoughtfully closed the door for them after that.

Then, she left the dormitory and strolled out.

The cameraman, who had been following her, was very excited to see her.

“Do you want to go to the training room?”

“Nope.”

“Then where are you going?” The cameraman was a little disappointed.

Lin Shanchu said in a serious tone, “I’m going to ask the boss some questions.. Why did everyone else start shooting product placement advertisements except for me?”
