Li MO had a complicated expression on his face when he looked at Huo Xunzhou through the rearview mirror.

Huo Chaosheng continued, “It’s not comfortable to stay in a hotel. Anyway, there are only the two of you living in Third Brother’s house. I can save a lot of money by moving there, right, Third Brother?” Huo Xunzhou’s eyes were slightly closed. “Keep quiet.”

“Oh.”

Huo Chaosheng obediently remained silent for a few seconds. “Third Brother, what do you think of Lin Shanchu?”

Huo Xunzhou did not open his eyes as if he did not hear him.

Huo Chaosheng became even more enthusiastic. “I think she’s quite interesting. I kind of like her.”

Li MO sneaked a look at the back.

He remembered that Miss Lin treated Huo Chaosheng quite badly.

Even so, Huo Chaosheng still liked Miss Lin?

Was there something wrong with his mind?

Huo Xunzhou said casually, “Is that so?”

Huo Chaosheng, who received a response, was unusually happy. He asked, “Yeah, don’t you like her?”

Huo Xunzhou opened his eyes upon hearing those words.

He turned to look at Huo Chaosheng.

He glanced at Huo Chaoshengs face for a moment. “How did your face get injured?”

It seemed that Huo Chaosheng did not expect Huo Xunzhou would change the topic all of a sudden. He was stunned for a moment before he said, “I was talking to you about Lin Shanchu, and now you’re paying attention to the injury on my face. You don’t like her that much?”

Huo Xunzhou asked persistently, “Did Lu Shiyuan do it?”

Huo Chaosheng stopped smiling probably because he felt embarrassed. He vaguely acknowledged with a “hmm”.

Then, he said unhappily, “I was careless this time. I’ll beat the crap out of Lu Shiyuan next time.”

Huo Xunzhou said slowly, “Lu Shiyuan is the local tyrant of Xu City. He’s not that easy to deal with.”

“What do you mean?” Huo Chaosheng frowned.

“What I’m trying to say is, if you want to deal with Lu Shiyuan…” Huo Xunzhou paused for a moment. His eyes were so dark that it was hard for one to see through them. Then, he continued, “Third Brother can help you.”

“Really?” Huo Chaosheng’s eyes gleamed.

“When have I ever lied to you?” Huo Xunzhou’s face looked calm without any fluctuating emotions.

Huo Chaosheng replied happily, “Alright!”

Lin Shanchu followed Nan Mu back to Tianzhou Media.

Qi Cheng told Nan Mu about the content of the interview.

Nan Mu fell into a long silence after listening to him.

Lin Shanchu sat opposite him and asked with a smile, “President Nan, is there anything you want to say? If not, I have to attend an event in the afternoon.”

When Nan Mu heard that she was going to attend an event in the afternoon, he felt his temples throb and his head hurt badly.

“I’ve already informed the event organizer. You don’t have to go. What you need now is rest.”

He had a lot of things he wanted to say, but this lady did not listen to him at all.

“I don’t have to go?” Lin Shanchu looked innocent as her eyes widened. “But my schedule is so full. I still have to rush for other endorsements.”

Nan Mu was on the verge of tears. “I admit that I spoke a little too loudly just now. Just ignore the schedule and forget about it!” Lin Shanchu asked, “How can I do that?”

Nan Mu said, “You have to!”

Lin Shanchu replied, “Deal!”

Nan Mu was speechless.

Nan Mu had filled Lin Shanchu’s schedule to the brim just to test how much work capacity Lin Shanchu could accept.

When he was Huo Xunzhou’s manager, Huo Xunzhou could always decide and solve everything himself. He always felt that he had no chance to display his prowess.

Secondly, he had filled up Lin Shanchu’s schedule because he wanted her to get popular faster and to prove his own strength.

In the end, he was the one being taken advantage of.

Nan Mu sighed. “You can decide on your own work arrangements in the future.

You can take on whichever you want.”

Lin Shanchu replied, “Thank you, President Nan.”

Nan Mu reluctantly asked Lin Shanchu, “Is there really nothing I can do?”

Lin Shanchu replied, “Not for now. I’ll come and ask you a favor if I need anything in the future.”

“Alright then.” Nan Mu felt very regretful.

Could it be that he had no opportunities to display his prowess for the rest of his life?

Suddenly, Nan Mu remembered the strange atmosphere between Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu at the dinner table today.

Nan Mu hinted frantically to Lin Shanchu. “Do you have anything else you want to ask me?”

“Huh?” Lin Shanchu did not understand his question.

Nan Mu gestured for He Xiang and Qi Cheng to leave.

Once they left, Nan Mu leaned forward and asked mysteriously, “Don’t you think Xunzhou’s attitude towards you has changed recently?” Lin Shanchu nodded honestly. “Yeah, I can sense it.”

Nan Mu asked, “Don’t you want to know why?”

Lin Shanchu tilted her head and thought for a while before she answered, “It’s because of Huo Chaosheng.”

“How did you know?” Nan Mu looked at her in disbelief.

“Because I have a brain,” Lin Shanchu said with a serious look while holding her chin.

“Don’t you think you’re making me look less smarter?” Nan Mu looked intently at her.

Lin Shanchu laughed emotionlessly.

Nan Mu felt that he had humiliated himself.

However, he would not admit defeat easily.

“Then tell me, why is Xunzhou so cold to you because of Huo Chaosheng?” He did not believe that Lin Shanchu could guess the answer.

“Because Huo Chaosheng is a pervert. He will hurt the people close to Huo Xunzhou.” Lin Shanchu’s tone carried an imperceptible temptation.

“You…” Nan Mu was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.

Lin Shanchu raised her eyebrows. “Am I right?”

Nan Mu’s expression became serious. “Your answer is pretty close.”

Lin Shanchu sighed. “So that’s the case…”

“How did you guess it?” Nan Mu could not accept the fact that he had been outsmarted.

Lin Shanchu slowly mentioned a name, “Yun Wu.”

Nan Mu raised his eyebrows and motioned Lin Shanchu to continue.

“Yun Wu is very afraid of Huo Chaosheng. She’s Huo Xunzhou’s cousin, but she deliberately keeps a distance from him.”

This information coupled with the sudden change in Huo Xunzhou’s attitude towards her naturally led her to think that everything was related to Huo Chaosheng.

Nan Mu looked hesitated as his lips twitched slightly. “Xunzhou’s family affairs are a little complicated. He will definitely tell you when the time is right, so I won’t say more. ”

Lin Shanchu fell silent.

Why should he tell her about Huo Xunzhou’s family affairs?

She did not need to know about his family affairs.

Nan Mu seemed to have thought of something and said seriously, “Regarding Xunzhou’s legs… You must never let Huo Chaosheng know the truth.”

After finished his words, he stared at Lin Shanchu as if he wanted a guarantee.

“Understood,” Lin Shanchu replied seriously.

Lin Shanchu knew well that in the future, she and Huo Xunzhou would not have any deeper interactions.

However, she could not help but think about Huo Xunzhou on the way back.

Huo Xunzhou was not the kind of person who would be easily coerced by others.

Moreover, judging from the relationship between Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng, Huo Chaosheng was the one at a disadvantage.

Huo Xunzhou could easily intimidate Huo Chaosheng, whereas Huo Chaosheng was a little afraid of Huo Xunzhou.

In that case, why did Huo Xunzhou have to indulge Huo Chaosheng?
