Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Went Rampant After Her Awakening

Chapter 22

Lu Shiyuan thought of Lin Shanchu, who was forcefully brought home by the bodyguards.

He picked up his phone and called the butler.

Before he ordered his men to block Lu Manor’s cell phone signal, he had prepared a satellite phone for the elderly butler.

Satellite phones have no regional restrictions, after all.

“Young master.”

“What is she doing?”

The butler knew that he was asking about Lin Shanchu. “Apart from going downstairs to ask about the internet situation at home once, Ms. Lin didn’t make any noise or kick up a fuss. She has been in her room the entire time.”

Was Lin Shanchu actually this well-behaved?

Thinking of what Lin Shanchu had done over the past few days, Lu Shiyuan frowned slightly. “I’ll be back for dinner tonight.”

He had to go back and see what that woman was up to.

…

Lu Manor’s internet signal was blocked.

Lin Shanchu couldn’t surf the internet, so she tore up the room.

The decorations in the room and the clothes in the closet were all the aesthetics of the old Lin Shanchu.

It had nothing to do with her now.

The simple, pure, and weak female lead did not have any jewelry.

In short, other than the case of money that she brought back with her, there was nothing else in the room that was worth taking away.

Ah. She almost forgot.

The old rabbit doll on the bed was a gift from her mother when she was young.

She could take that with her.

So, she stuffed the old doll into the case.

Creak!

The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The door slammed into the wall with a dull sound.

Lu Shiyuan was the only person who could open her room door this arrogantly.

Lu Shiyuan stood by the door. After seeing the state of the room, his brows were deeply furrowed.

The floor was filled with clothes. The drawers of the dressing table were all open, and a few pieces of jewelry were scattered everywhere.

The room was as messy as a garbage dump.

There wasn’t even a spot for him to step on.

He forcibly retracted the foot that he had lifted. “What are you up to this time?”

“Just cleaning up.” Lin Shanchu finally turned around and looked at him.

Her beautiful cat-like eyes were extremely indifferent.

The way they looked at him was no different from looking at the flowers and grass on the side of the road.

This realization made Lu Shiyuan feel irritated. His tone became cold and hard.

“No matter what you want to do, you’ll be staying at home from now on. You’re not allowed to go anywhere without my permission!”

In just a few days, Tang Qidai got so much backlash that she lost a job. After that, Fu Jue’s romantic relationship got exposed.

He didn’t want to go this far.

She was the one who forced him!

Lin Shanchu didn’t seem to have heard him. She just asked, “Have you dealt with Fu Jue’s matter?”

Lu Shiyuan’s face instantly darkened.

When Lin Shanchu saw this, her lips curved into a smile.

It seemed that there was no way to deal with Fu Jue’s matter.

This little loss was nothing to Lu Shiyuan.

It was just the beginning.

Lu Shiyuan had to be in as much pain as she was in order for her hatred to be vented.

Lu Shiyuan, who was standing by the door, had no idea what Lin Shanchu was thinking. He was even dazzled by her sudden smile.

She hadn’t smiled at him like this in a long time.

The past came to his mind.

Lu Shiyuan’s gaze softened again.

The sudden ringing of his phone pulled him back to reality.

The phone call was from Zhou Yan.

He walked to the side to answer the phone.

“President Lu, I’ve done my investigation on Huo Xunzhou. There’s nothing unusual about him other than his investments on a few variety shows.”

“Keep investigating.”

Lu Shiyuan only said those words before hanging up the phone.

Lin Shanchu, who was eavesdropping by the door, was a little disappointed.

Those words didn’t contain much information.

Soon, the butler sent someone to inform them that dinner was ready.

Lin Shanchu went to the dining room.

Lu Shiyuan sat opposite her and watched as she ate slowly. He realized that she didn’t actually eat much.

After carefully studying Lin Shanchu for a moment, he realized that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

“Does the food not suit your appetite?”

“The food is very appetizing, but it’s hard for me to swallow with you sitting here.”

Lin Shanchu’s tone was soft, but every word she said was piercing.

Lu Shiwan tightened his grip on his chopsticks. “Lin Shanchu, you’re really hopeless!”

“You’re right.” Lin Shanchu nodded in agreement.

She was indeed terminally ill.

There was no cure.

Lu Shiyuan, on the other hand, was rotten from the inside out.

He was as hopeless as her.

Lin Shanchu looked a little similar to before.

No matter what he said, she would treat it as holy verses from the Bible.

If he was unhappy, she would think that she was the problem.

However, Lu Shiyuan still felt a little irritated.

He threw down his chopsticks and left the dining room, too lazy to eat.

The elderly butler, who was standing by the side, saw that the two of them had finally sat down for a meal together, but they had parted on bad terms. He could not help but speak up in order to persuade Lin Shanchu.

“Ms. Lin, the young master does care about you. He won’t lash out at you for real, so please pacify him.”

“Why isn’t he the one pacifying and coaxing me instead?” Lin Shanchu asked back. “Who here isn’t raised by their parents? Why do I have to sacrifice myself to please him?”

In the Lu family, everyone was on Lu Shiyuan’s side.

“Someone has to bow their head in a relationship,” the butler reasoned.

Lin Shanchu sneered.

Was Lu Shiyuan worthy of her sacrifice?

She had lowered her head for so long that even her knees were on the ground.

She threw away her self-esteem and ego and knelt on the ground, only to be trampled on by Lu Shiyuan.

She didn’t want to kneel anymore.

However, there were always people who advised her to continue kneeling and lower her head to Lu Shiyuan.

It was as if this was the right thing to do.

Lin Shanchu put down her chopsticks, her soft voice carrying a hint of coldness.

“Now that you’re old, your mind can’t work properly anymore. Just shut up.”

…

Without the internet, Lin Shanchu lived a lazy life every day.

She woke up on time and ate on time every day.

Although Lu Shiyuan was in the office every day, the butler and bodyguards at home would always tell him about Lin Shanchu’s every move.

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend.

In the morning.

Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu sat opposite each other and ate breakfast.

“I want to go out today.” Huo Xunzhou had made an appointment with her to visit her mother’s grave this weekend.

“For what?”

“I’m going to visit my parents.”

When Lu Shiyuan heard this, he carefully sized up Lin Shanchu, as if he wanted to find evidence of her lying on her face.

“Is today their death anniversary?”

“No.”

Her parents had died to save Lu Shiyuan’s parents, but Lu Shiyuan didn’t even remember their death anniversary.

“I’ll go with you on the death anniversary.”

Lu Shiyuan was worried that Lin Shanchu would cause trouble again, so he didn’t allow her to go out.

Lin Shanchu responded indifferently and continued to eat.

Lu Shiyuan was very satisfied with her obedience.

“Eat more,” he said, his gaze softening.

After the meal, Lin Shanchu sent him to the main entrance as usual.

Her reluctant gaze made Lu Shiyuan feel a little dazed.

The loving and dependent Lin Shanchu of the past had returned.

“I’ll come back earlier tonight to have dinner with you.” He had to attend a business event today.
