As soon as this question was raised, the scene became even quieter.

Camera shutter sounds could be heard clearly.

Everyone was afraid of Lu Shiyuan, so no one dared to speak again. However, they refused to leave in order to get the first-hand news.

It was then that Zhou Yan ran over from the opposite side.

“President Lu!”

Zhou Yan and He Xiang had been guarding outside after Lin Shanchu entered the restaurant.

Zhou Yan had gone to buy a bottle of water. When he came back, he saw Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan being surrounded by reporters at the entrance of the restaurant.

Zhou Yan ran over and squeezed through the crowd. “Everyone, please move aside. President Lu doesn’t accept interviews.”

Lu Shiyuan went out without any bodyguards today. Since the reporters did not make way for Zhou Yan, he was unable to squeeze through the crowd alone.

“Sister Lin!” He Xiang followed closely behind him.

A keen-eyed reporter realized that He Xiang was the other person involved in the video.

“She’s the girl hit by Tang Qidai in the video!”

The reporters were afraid of Lu Shiyuan, so they did not dare to go forward and interview him.

However, He Xiang was just a normal person, so they naturally had no scruples.

The reporters had surrounded He Xiang with no way out before she could react.

“Are you Lin Shanchu’s assistant?”

“Why did Tang Qidai hit you?”

“Do you know why Lin Shanchu didn’t publish the full video?”

The reporters’ attention shifted to He Xiang.

Zhou Yan took the opportunity to squeeze through the crowd and reach Lu

Shiyuan.

“President Lu!”

Lu Shiyuan ignored him and kept staring at Lin Shanchu.

“What a good plan.” He gritted his teeth as those words fell from his lips.

It was a trap from the very beginning.

This was a trap that Lin Shanchu had specifically set for him and Tang Qidai.

Everything was within Lin Shanchu’s plan, from the exclusive interview to the point where the netizens condemned her.

It was to create the illusion that she was at the end of her rope.

Lu Shiyuan had also wondered if Lin Shanchu still had some tricks up her sleeve.

He completely let his guard after Tang Qidai had won the sympathy and support of the netizens by playing the sympathy card on Weibo and Lin Shanchu did not make a move.

Lin Shanchu cared about her parents very much. She could not just stand by and watch the netizens criticize her parents. If she ever had evidence to refute them, she would have used it to clear her name.

He lost again this time.

It was an utter defeat.

It seemed that he had always underestimated her.

The tears on Lin Shanchu’s face had not dried yet and her eyes were filled with sorrow. She just stood there doing nothing and exuding a pure temperament tinged with delicacy, breaking everyone’s heart.

“What’s done is done…” Lin Shanchu sniffed and her weeping voice was filled with disappointment. “You’d better go and find Tang Qidai first.”

She did not need to use any more sentimental words to express her emotions. A simple sentence was enough to make people feel her sadness and disappointment.

Lu Shiyuan had seen Lin Shanchu’s sad and disappointed look countless times. Lin Shanchu, who was in front of him, looked sadder and more disappointed than ever.

However, Lu Shiyuan knew very clearly that it was fake this time.

Lin Shanchu was neither sad nor upset.

He could even vaguely feel the joy in her heart.

Lin Shanchu took a deep look at him before walking towards the group of reporters.

Lu Shiyuan’s gaze followed her.

She straightened her back and walked calmly.

It was the stance of a victor.

“President Lu, let’s go,” Zhou Yan reminded him.

The current situation was very disadvantageous to Lu Shiyuan.

Zhou Yan could also tell that Lin Shanchu had tricked Lu Shiyuan again. He understood Lu Shiyuan’s temper. If Lu Shiyuan failed to control his temper and did something out of line in front of so many reporters, it would be even harder to clean up the mess.

Just as Zhou Yan was thinking about it, Lu Shiyuan turned around and left without saying a word.

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment and quickly followed him.

Lin Shanchu curled her lip imperceptibly when she saw the two of them leaving in a hurry out of the corner of her eye.

She looked up and shouted at the reporters, “Just ask me anything directly.

Don’t make things difficult for my assistant.”

He Xiang was in a dilemma as she was being surrounded by the reporters.

As soon as Lin Shanchu finished speaking, the reporters surrounding He Xiang quickly dispersed.

Now that things had developed to this point, everyone was not concerned about the victim, He Xiang, but they cared about the grudge among Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan, and Tang Qidai.

Lin Shanchu walked past the crowd and gave a comforting look to He Xiang before answering the reporters’ questions.

“Did you just say that Qiao Jiaxi posted a video on Weibo to clear my name?”

Lin Shanchu’s skin was fair and her eyes were still red-rimmed from crying just now, making her look even more fragile and innocent.

When the reporters saw her face, they lowered their voices quite a bit when they asked questions.

Among them were reporters who had interviewed Lin Shanchu before. Before Lin Shanchu could speak, they had taken the initiative and passed their phones to Lin Shanchu.

“Qiao Jiaxi just posted it. Please take a look.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Shanchu took the phone and seriously watched the video that she had watched before.

The number of comments, reposts, and likes had already exceeded 10,000.

It was probably already on the trending search list.

Lin Shanchu thanked the reporter when she returned the phone.

Then, Lin Shanchu fell silent, looking sorrowful.

The reporters looked at each other in dismay and dropped their aggressive attitude when asking questions. They all became cautious.

“I’ve known Tang Qidai since we were young. She and my fiancé, Lu Shiyuan, are very close. Many things have happened among the three of us…” “It’s not a secret. Everyone knows, right?” Lin Shanchu laughed at herself.

Everyone knew about these things.

However, it was Lin Shanchu’s first time telling the reporters about the relationship among the three of them.

When Lu Shiyuan was involved, the reporters dared not make a sound.

I once treated her as a true friend, so…” said Lin Shanchu as she choked up and her eyes reddened instantly.

As if she was too sad to continue, she held back her tears and had no choice but to stop.

The reporters did not urge her.

After a few seconds, Lin Shanchu calmed down and continued to speak.

“Even if she and my fiancé are close, I haven’t overthink it. For a long time, I’ve treated Tang Qidai as a precious person in my life…” Tears welled up in Lin Shanchu’s eyes as she tried her best to suppress her sobs. Her voice trembled slightly. “…I don’t know why it became like this.”

She did not criticize Tang Qidai, nor did she badmouth her.

Her helpless and confused look was no different from that of an ordinary person who parted ways with her friend.

A few reporters in the front row were moved and tears welled up in their eyes.

Qi Cheng saw the commotion when he arrived at the scene.

He was stunned for two seconds before he strode forward to separate her from the reporters.

“I’m sorry, Shanshan isn’t in a good state today. She will talk to you reporters next time.”

He even brought bodyguards with him.

The bodyguards stopped the reporters, and He Xiang hurried over. Then, she and Qi Cheng quickly helped Lin Shanchu into the car..
