The surprised look on Lin Shanchu’s face was too obvious.

“I’m not here to break you up.” The smile on Huo Zhuxiu’s face deepened, as if he was satisfied with Lin Shanchu’s reaction.

Most people would feel a sense of accomplishnt when they realized that the other party had miscalculated their thoughts during a confrontation.

Even Huo Zhuxiu was no exception.

Lin Shanchu saw a a trace of pride on his face, as if everything was under his control. However, he was more restrained than most people.

“What’s your condition?” Huo Zhuxiu did not co here just to tell her that he agreed to her getting together with Huo Chaosheng.

Hearing Lin Shanchu’s words, Huo Zhuxiu looked more relaxed.

“You need to reduce your work in the entertainnt industry. I’ll make so other plans for you so that you can beco soone worthy of Chaosheng.”

Lin Shanchu realized that anyone with a bit of power and status liked to control others.

They liked to control other people’s thoughts and arrange their lives. They would not feel that there was anything wrong with them. Moreover, they would feel that others should be grateful to them.

However, so people would sweet-talk and do things more decently, for example Huo Zhuxiu at this mont.

Huo Zhuxiu’s words just now sounded completely normal, as if he was looking out for Lin Shanchu.

In reality, Huo Zhuxiu felt that Lin Shanchu was not worthy of Huo Chaosheng. After all, he looked down on Lin Shanchu, let alone respect her.

As for the plans he ntioned, they were nothing but a thod to make Lin Shanchu give up.

Eventually, she would break up with Huo Chaosheng. This door-in-the-face technique would allow Huo Zhuxiu to achieve his goal effortlessly, and at the sa ti, it would make him appear noble and decent.

He was really amazing.

“President Huo, do you think I’m not worthy of Huo Chaosheng now?” Lin Shanchu’s eyes widened slightly, but she looked extrely innocent.

Huo Zhuxiu said noncommittally, “I’m doing this for your own good.”

“But…” Lin Shanchu reached out to support her chin lightly and her tone was exceptionally innocent. “Huo Chaosheng likes the way I am now. Why should I change myself?”

Huo Zhuxiu’s expression froze for a mont, and then his tone turned cold. “Miss Lin, are you unwilling to agree to my conditions?”

Lin Shanchu pursed her lip awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t comply with your conditions.”

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the room suddenly beca tense.

Huo Zhuxiu’s expression did not change much, but his gaze towards Lin Shanchu turned colder.

He had investigated Lin Shanchu’s past thoroughly.

This lady was quite smart and had a clean background, but she had a rough upbringing and once had a fiancé who was her childhood sweetheart.

Such a woman was completely unqualified to marry into the Huo family.

Huo Zhuxiu initially thought that Lin Shanchu would be easy to deal with since she was still young, but he did not expect her to be so arrogant and did not take him seriously at all.

Since the soft approach did not work, he had to do it the hard way.

“Miss Lin, you have to know that things will beco troubleso if you don’t play by the rules.” Huo Zhuxiu’s tone was filled with impatience as he said, “I don’t like to make things troubleso.”

Lin Shanchu realized that Huo Zhuxiu’s angry look was similar to Huo Xunzhou’s.

She now found Huo Zhuxiu a little more pleasing to the eye even though he had said those annoying words.

“As long as people are alive, they can’t avoid getting into trouble. You have your rules, he has his rules, and I have mine. Whose rules should I follow to avoid trouble?”

Lin Shanchu smiled after she finished speaking. Then, as if she had suddenly thought of sothing, she had a distressed look as she said, “For example, with the nature of my job, I often have to attend various dinners after work to deal with people I don’t know at all. It’s quite troubleso.”

Lin Shanchu’s words were euphemistic yet direct. It was basically an expansion of the two sentences—”Your rules are none of my business” and “I find you troubleso”.

Huo Zhuxiu imdiately understood the aning behind Lin Shanchu’s words.

His gaze darkened as he said, “Miss Lin, you are young, hot-tempered and has a straightforward personality. How rare.”

“Huo Chaosheng likes soone like ,” Lin Shanchu said with a smile.

Huo Zhuxiu was dumbstruck by her words.

At this mont, soone pushed open the door to the private room from the outside.

Huo Zhuxiu finally found a target to vent his accumulated anger.

“You ca in without knocking?” He asked angrily, “Is this the etiquette of Boya Hotel staff?”

An old voice ca slowly through the door.

“Why are you so angry?”

Lin Shanchu tilted her head slightly and looked in the direction of the voice.

An old man with a walking stick slowly walked over. He seed to have noticed Lin Shanchu’s gaze and looked over with a gaze full of curiosity.

However, he quickly averted his gaze.

Huo Zhuxiu, who was furious a mont ago, imdiately restrained his expression and respectfully stood up to help the old man.

“Dad, why are you here?”

“I ca over to dine with a few old fellows. I heard that you were here, so I ca to take a look.”

After Huo Zhuxiu helped the old man sit down, he turned to Lin Shanchu and said, “Which family is this pretty girl from?”

The old man looked kind, had a nice voice and was Huo Xunzhou’s relative, so Lin Shanchu had a good impression of him.

She stood up politely and smiled at the old man. “I’m Lin Shanchu from Xu City.”

“Hello.” The old man looked at her with a smile, revealing a satisfied expression on his face. “The young people nowadays are quite nice. They are all good-looking and polite.”

Huo Zhuxiu looked at Lin Shanchu with a complicated expression, but he did not say anything.

“Young people nowadays like a kind and generous grandfather like you very much.” Lin Shanchu felt that this old man was kind of adorable.

The old man laughed heartily at Lin Shanchu’s words.

After he finished laughing, he said seriously, “Your na sounds a little familiar to , and you look kind of familiar.”

Huo Zhuxiu respectfully reminded him, “Miss Lin is an artist in the entertainnt industry. You might have heard soone ntion her na sowhere.”

“Oh, an artist?” The old man nodded in agreent. “It’s tough being an artist. Yun Wu hasn’t called in a while…”

Yun wu?

Lin Shanchu suddenly looked up at the old man and asked, “You are… Yun Wu’s grandfather?”

Yun Wu’s grandfather was Huo Xunzhou’s grandfather, so Huo Zhuxiu called him “Dad” just now. “You know Yun Wu?”

“I do.”

Lin Shanchu nodded with a smile, looking much more sincere than before.

“I rember now…” The old man tapped the ground with his walking stick and said excitedly, “You danced with Yun Wu on a show, right?”

“That’s .”

“You are Shanshan, aren’t you?”

“Yes.”

“You’re just like Yun Wu. You look prettier in real life than on TV.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

Lin Shanchu obediently answered whatever he asked..
