Lin Shanchu asked He Xiang, “What happened?”
“Best Actor Huo is here,” He Xiang said happily.
Huo Xunzhou?
She knew that Huo Xunzhou was here to visit Huo Chaosheng and put on a show of brotherhood.
She still remembered how he indirectly scolded her at the dinner party because she said she wanted to drink wine.
Lin Shanchu decided to pretend that she knew nothing.
She turned around and walked towards the rest area.
Recliners were placed there.
She lay down and covered her face with the script. After a while, she fell drowsy and was about to fall asleep.
At this moment, she heard movement beside her.
It seemed like someone was coming over.
However, it quickly quieted down.
Lin Shanchu ignored the footsteps and prepared to sleep for a while.
However, she felt someone’s gaze land on her. She could not ignore it. as if it was something substantial.
Lin Shanchu took a deep breath and opened her eyes resignedly. Then, she removed the script from her face.
She turned her head and saw a familiar pair of charming eyes.
“You’re awake.” His deep voice was a little hoarse and sounded a little different from usual.
“Do you have business with me?” Lin Shanchu asked coldly.
His gaze, which was filled with complicated emotions, still landed on her.
Lin Shanchu could not understand him and felt a little uncomfortable.
A hint of hesitation flashed across his face before he said, “Chaosheng has caused you trouble.”
Did he need to hesitate before saying such high-sounding words?
Huo Xunzhou felt that something was wrong.
Lin Shanchu slowly sat up straight from the recliner and asked him tentatively, “What are you trying to say?”
She was sure that Huo Xunzhou wanted to say something else just now.
“That’s what I wanted to say.” Huo Xunzhou seemed to have read her mind.
Tch!
She did not believe him.
It was fine if he and Huo Chaosheng wanted to put on a show of brotherhood, but now he was even trying to fool her.
“You might not want to talk to me about the matter I’m going to bring up. We’ll talk about it when you’re willing.”
Huo Xunzhou’s tone was unusually serious.
Lin Shanchu’s lips moved, but she dared not ask what he wanted to say.
There were not many things she did not want to talk about.
“Third Brother, you’re here!”
Huo Chaosheng suddenly walked over and got Lin Shanchu out of a jam.
“He Xiang, do you have water?” Lin Shanchu stood up and left.
Huo Chaosheng frowned when he saw Lin Shanchu leaving, as if she was running away. “Third Brother, even if you don’t like Lin Shanchu, she’s still my friend. You can’t bully her.”
Huo Xunzhou replied non-committally, “Be serious when you’re filming. Don’t cause trouble for everyone.”
Huo Chaosheng said, “Oh.”
Huo Xunzhou added, “Go back to the capital to recuperate after you’re done with your scenes.”
“Why?” Huo Chaosheng asked.
Huo Xunzhou ignored him and left straight away.
Li MO, who was standing not far away, saw Huo Xunzhou coming over and quickly came over to help him push the wheelchair.
“Big Brother, have you talked to Miss Lin?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“Why didn’t you say anything?”
Li MO did not follow Huo Xunzhou just now because he wanted to let Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu be alone so that they could get to the bottom of the matter.
“She will come to me.”
If it was useful to speak their minds, he and Lin Shanchu would not have been in this situation.
She looked gentler and kinder than anyone else, but in fact, she was stubborn and ruthless.
She did not leave any leeway for him especially.
Since he could not convince her, he might as well make a move.
Huo Xunzhou came and left in a hurry.
Lin Shanchu felt that there was something strange about this.
During dinner, Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but ask Huo Chaosheng, “Did your
Third Brother say anything to you?”
Huo Chaosheng looked upset as he said, “He wants to drive me back to the capital. ”
“Why?”
“Who knows?” Huo Chaosheng laughed at himself. “Maybe he thinks I’m a hindrance.”
“You’re going back just because he asked you to?”
“What else can I do? He doesn’t care about people when he’s angry. I don’t dare to make him angry.”
Huo Chaosheng did not have many scenes to begin with.
In addition, Huo Xunzhou had probably come over to greet the director.
The director had arranged all of Huo Chaosheng’s scenes in advance.
Huo Xunzhou took four days to finish filming the scenes that should have been completed in two days.
However, after his scenes ended, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed for another day, waiting for Lin Shanchu’s scenes to end before leaving the film set with her.
When they left the film set, Lin Shanchu saw a lot of reporters squatting at the side to take photos of them.
She subconsciously looked around to see if Wen Huan had followed her here.
As a result, she really saw Wen Huan.
Wen Huan also saw Lin Shanchu.
However, due to the distance between the two of them and the other reporters around them, Wen Huan gestured for her to make a phone call from afar.
Lin Shanchu also made a hand gesture and nodded slightly.
“Sister Lin, your phone.” He Xiang came back with her phone.
Lin Shanchu turned on the phone and saw Wen Huan’s missed call.
She looked at the time. Wen Huan had called her on her first day at the film set.
Wen Huan would usually send her WeChat messages when he had business with her.
For him to call her in such a hurry, it must be something important.
Lin Shanchu immediately called Wen Huan back.
Wen Huan picked up the call atter one ring, as it he had been guarding his phone.
“Huo Xunzhou came to see me.”
“Why did he come to you?”
“He took the initiative to contact me from the beginning and asked me to do an exclusive interview with him. After we met, he kept testing me to see if I knew about your illness.”
Lin Shanchu was shocked upon hearing those words.
The hesitant expression on Huo Xunzhou’s face when he visited the crew earlier immediately surfaced in her mind.
At that time, she thought that Huo Xunzhou only came to visit Huo Chaosheng and put on a show of brotherhood.
It turned out that Huo Xunzhou had come to visit her earlier?
On the other end of the phone, Wen Huan continued, “I didn’t realize it at first, but after he left, I realized that he was trying to worm information out of me. I spilled the beans halfway through the conversation. He might have known that you’re sick.”
Wen Huan blamed himself. “If only I had been more cautious back then.”
“It’s not your fault.” Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before she continued, “Huo Xunzhou is too smart. If he’s determined to worm information out of you, he’d succeed no matter how careful you are.”
Wen Huan felt that what Lin Shanchu said made sense.
However, he was still a little unconvinced. “I… am not that stupid, right?”
“Well, you are not stupid, but that he’s too smart.” Lin Shanchu sighed slightly.
She was so cautious, but still Huo Xunzhou managed to follow the trail and investigate Wen Huan.
She did not expect that Huo Xunzhou would be so stubborn and still had not given up on her.
Huo Chaosheng drove his car over. Then, he poked his head out of the window and spoke to Lin Shanchu.
“Let’s go, silly girl. Let’s go eat!”
He had said that he would treat Lin Shanchu to a meal.
He Xiang also drove a car over. When Lin Shanchu got into the car, Huo
Chaosheng shouted at her, “You haven’t said what you want to eat.”
“As long as we are not going to eat sashimi.” Lin Shanchu got into the car without looking back..
