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

Chapter 4

The lawyer beside Lu Shiyuan advised him in a low voice. “President Lu, it’s not good for you and the company if this matter gets out. If it can be solved with just an apology and money, I think…”

Lu Shiyuan glanced at the lawyer coldly, who immediately shut up.

“You want me to be detained?” Lu Shiyuan repeated as if to confirm the facts.

“Either apology, compensation, or detention. President Lu, you should know which option to choose.” Lin Shanchu looked calm on the surface, but her hands under the table were already tightly clenched.

Lu Shiyuan scoffed in response. “I’ll choose detention then.”

How could Lin Shanchu bear to see him detained?

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Shanchu calmly, waiting for her to give in like before.

The lawyer’s expression changed drastically. “President Lu…”

Lu Shiyuan only looked at Lin Shanchu while tuning the lawyer out.

Lin Shanchu didn’t expect him to not play by the rules, so she started thinking about countermeasures.

At this moment, Lu Shiyuan’s phone rang.

He glanced at the phone screen, and his expression immediately softened.

Lin Shanchu immediately knew that the call was from Tang Qidai.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Shiyuan answered the phone in a gentle tone.

Tang Qidai said something on the other end of the phone, leading him to coax her gently. “I’ll be right there, okay?”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shanchu again. His eyes were even colder than before.”Have you caused enough trouble?”

“Since you don’t want to settle this peacefully, I can’t sign the agreement.” Lin Shanchu was no longer in a hurry because Lu Shiyuan was even more anxious than her.

He was in a hurry to go to the hospital to visit Tang Qidai.

The lawyer whispered to Lu Shiyuan, “President Lu, we can only agree to Ms. Lin’s conditions and sign the settlement agreement before we can leave.”

Lu Shiyuan knew very well that things had come to this point, he could only do as Lin Shanchu said by apologizing to her as the police were also present.

However, he still could not believe that Lin Shanchu would treat him like this.

As both parties were in a deadlock, Tang Qidai called again.

Lu Shiyuan’s expression became more and more anxious. It was obvious that he was about to compromise.

Lin Shanchu spoke up before he could say anything. “Hold on.”

She took out her phone and opened the video recording interface. She looked up at Lu Shiyuan before saying, “Let’s start.”

“I’m sorry.” Lu Shiyuan’s expression was stormy, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to swallow her up.

Lin Shanchu asked coldly, “What are you sorry for? Explain clearly in full detail.”

Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth. “I shouldn’t have used violence on you.”

Lin Shanchu looked at Lu Shiyuan on the screen and asked, “So, how much are you going to compensate me for almost strangling me to death?”

“How much do you want?” Lu Shiyuan asked.

“How much do you think my life is worth?” Lin Shanchu retorted.

Seeing that Lu Shiyuan was about to get angry again, the lawyer quickly said, “As for the subsequent compensation, Ms. Lin and I can…”

Lu Shiyuan threw a card at Lin Shanchu.

“I want cash.” Lin Shanchu did not pick it up.

The lawyer felt that Lin Shanchu was pushing it.

Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he started laughing. “Tell Zhou Yan to withdraw the money.”

Zhou Yan was Lu Shiyuan’s personal assistant. Soon, he brought a case of money over.

Lin Shanchu signed the settlement agreement very quickly.

After they left the police station, Lu Shiyuan stopped Lin Shanchu with a gloomy expression. “Lin Shanchu, my patience with you is limited.”

Lin Shanchu did not show any weakness. She sneered, “I think I should be the one to say this.”

Lu Shiyuan retorted gloomily, “You? What qualifications do you have? It’s only been a few years, and yet you’ve already forgotten what you’ve done to my mother?”

Anything related to Lu Shiyuan’s mother was taboo in the Lu family.

“I’ve never done anything to let your mother down!” Lin Shanchu said with a serious expression.

Lu Shiyuan didn’t listen to her explanation at all. He started speaking in a dark tone. “I remember that you have an uncle who is studying photography overseas. What’s his name again?

“His name is Lin Suguang, right?”

The sight of Lin Shanchu’s face turning pale quickly satisfied him.

Lin Shanchu went to the Lu family when she was six. They grew up together and had known each other for sixteen years. No one knew her weakness better than him.

“Don’t touch my uncle,” Lin Shanchu said hoarsely.

Her uncle was the only family member she had left.

In the original novel, Lu Shiyuan was the one who killed her uncle.

Seeing that Lin Shanchu was finally afraid, Lu Shiyuan’s expression softened. “Shanshan, as long as you admit your mistake to Qidai, I can forget about today’s incident.”

“That’s impossible!” Bowing to the demons would only result in them gnawing on her until not even her bones were left.

“Qidai suffered from a shock and is not in a good mental state. Come to the hospital before nightfall to apologize. Don’t disturb her rest.” Lu Shiyuan seemed to have expected her to come, seeing as his tone was very calm.

After he finished speaking, he left with his men.

He was so sure because he thought that Lin Shanchu was weak and would obediently admit her mistakes and beg for mercy for the sake of her uncle.

The system reminded her, [If you don’t do as Lu Shiyuan says, he’ll harm your uncle for real.]

“I know.” She knew better than anyone else what kind of person Lu Shiyuan was.

[Then you… Host!]

Before she fainted, the system’s surprised voice rang in Lin Shanchu’s mind.

…

Lin Shanchu woke up from the smell of disinfectant.

She didn’t need to look around to know that she was in the hospital.

“Thank you,” Lin Shanchu said.

The system’s voice sounded in her head. [What are you thanking me for?]

Lin Shanchu replied, “You were the one who called the hospital for me, right? ”

The system was silent.

Lin Shanchu took it as an admission. “Is my money still here with me?”

The system was a little speechless. [It’s at your bedside.]

Lin Shanchu turned her head and saw the case next to her bedpost. She then heaved a sigh of relief.

It was good that the money was still there.

The system’s tone sounded complicated. [The female lead of a sadistic novel should have high moral integrity and view money like dirt.]

Lin Shanchu replied, “Only an idiot would think like that.”

The system was speechless. [I’m tired. I don’t want to think of anything anymore.]

At this moment, the doctor pushed the door open and entered.

“Ms. Lin, your physical condition is getting worse and worse. I suggest you stay in the hospital to recuperate.”

“I can’t be hospitalized.” Lin Shanchu shook her head.

She didn’t have the time to stay in the hospital.

Seeing this, the doctor didn’t say anything.

[If you don’t treat it, your health will get worse.]

Lin Shanchu harrumphed. “What are you panicking for? Didn’t you say that I won’t die if I fall in love?”

[But you’re not in a relationship yet.]

Lin Shanchu looked around before commenting, “This is the hospital from yesterday.”

[What do you plan to do?] the system asked uneasily.

“Huo Xunzhou should still be here.” Lin Shanchu carried the case full of money and walked out.

[You want to date Huo Xunzhou?] the system asked. [He won’t date you. Huo Xunzhou doesn’t have a love line. He’ll only follow the plot step by step.]

Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks. “Why is it that your first reaction is to always reject me no matter what I want to do?”

The system replied, [I’m just stating the facts.]

Lin Shanchu ignored it.

Based on her memory, she quickly found Huo Xunzhou’s ward.
