Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening-Chapter 39

Chapter 39

“When Lin Shanchu’s Weibo was flooded with hate comments, Qiao Jiaxi pretended to not see it and kept quiet. I seriously thought Lin Shanchu did force her to quit ‘My Stage’.”

“That’s right. Now that someone’s showed up to slap her in the face with evidence, she immediately made a clarification and apology post on Weibo. She should just play dead if she’s that capable.”

“Qiao Jiaxi is too much. She just watched Lin Shanchu get scolded and didn’t opt to explain for her.”

The members were all chattering away.

Lin Shanchu had already understood what was going on.

Nan Mu did things very quickly. He had already dealt with the matter while they were having breakfast.

Some sharp-eyed members noticed Lin Shanchu.

“She’s here…”

The others immediately quieted down and looked at Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu smiled slightly. Her cat-like eyes were gentle and bright, as if she had walked out of a painting. She just stood there quietly, and yet she became the spotlight. She was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.

Most of the students in the production crew were 18 or 19 years old. They had not experienced the entertainment industry for themselves yet, so they were still relatively innocent.

Although Lin Shanchu had a bad reputation on the internet, it was a fact that she had just been slandered, so most people still sympathized with her.

Moreover, she was very good-looking.

Humans were visual animals.

Sometimes, being good-looking was indeed an advantage.

“We saw that someone on Weibo brought out evidence of Qiao Jiaxi voluntarily withdrawing from the production crew. She apologized to you on Weibo.” A girl took the initiative to speak to her.

“Oh, really? I’ll check it out later.” Lin Shanchu’s voice was clear and soft. Her tone was neither fast nor slow, and there was a strangely gentle aura that made people want to get close to her.

After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she went to a corner with Yun Wu to practice her dance moves.

Soft discussions could be heard from behind.

“She’s so pretty and gentle. She really has the aura of a socialite.”

“Do you have any idea what she’s done in the past?”

“What is it?”

“She gave a 30 million dollar vase away during the lucky draw and even went to the Lu Corporation to host a livestream. As a result, she did Fu Jue in. I heard that she’s a bit affected in this area…”

Lin Shanchu did not need to turn around to know that the person who said the last sentence was pointing at her brain.

Was she sick in the head?

It was true.

Lu Shiyuan was the one who forced her to be this way.

She and Yun Wu sat down in a corner.

Yun Wu took out her phone. She thought that Yun Wu was going to show her the dance video she had made, so she went over.

To his surprise, Yun Wu opened her Weibo.

She tapped on the hot topic that said #Qiao Jiaxi’s apology statement.

Lin Shanchu was speechless. Were cold-hearted people that gossipy nowadays?

Seeing that she had come over, Yun Wu handed her the phone. “Qiao Jiaxi apologized to you for real. She even got scolded in return. How is it that the amount of people scolding her pales in comparison to the amount that scolded you yesterday?”

“Because she’s not as popular as I am,” Lin Shanchu said lightly.

Yun Wu was speechless. Then again, it seemed to make sense.

Lin Shanchu glanced at Qiao Jiaxi’s Weibo comments:

[What the hell? I actually spoke up for someone like you yesterday!]

[This kind of person with bad ethics should be banned!]

[Even though Qiao Jiaxi is in the wrong, Lin Shanchu isn’t a good person either.]

[The ones who want to cause chaos are here! We’re only talking about this particular incident! Qiao Jiaxi is the one in the wrong here!]

[See, that’s where I’m confused. So many people are slandering Lin Shanchu, but what is it about her that made everyone hate her this much? Is there any evidence? ]

[What I’m saying is, did the people who scolded Lin Shanchu yesterday apologize to her today?]

…

After Yun Wu was done reading through the gossip, she began to show Lin Shanchu the dance she had recorded.

Lin Shanchu had learned dancing when she was young. Later on, she was busy with her studies, so she didn’t continue learning, but she could see that Yun Wu had a strong foundation in dancing.

Her explosiveness and stage performance were extremely strong. She was no longer at the level of an ordinary trainee.

“There are a few moves that might be too difficult for you, so I’ll make some slight changes. However, I need to know how good your skills are first.”

Yun Wu pulled the progress bar of the video and said, “Try this one out.”

This was the most skilled part of the dance.

The human who could not bear the weight on the ground finally turned into a vengeful ghost, struggling in despair on the ground. She did a final somersault and rose into the air, representing the hope that she had regained.

The first half of ‘Vengeful Ghost’ was dark, negative, and desperate, but the second half was about the vengeful ghost escaping from hell and returning to the human world.

The core of this song was hope.

“Alright,” Lin Shanchu agreed.

Lin Shanchu had not danced for many years, so she was a little rusty.

She warmed her body up and tried to figure out the mood of the song.

The so-called desperate struggle… Wasn’t that her current self?

Lin Shanchu lay on the ground as if she was bound by something invisible. She kept struggling but to no avail.

She stopped struggling, as if she had given in.

Suddenly, she jumped up.

Her long black hair drew a cold and sharp arc in the air, and her slender arms slid as if they had no bones.

Thump!

It was a perfect backflip.

Yun Wu’s eyes widened. She looked as if she had been deceived. “Is this what you meant when you said you couldn’t dance?”

Lin Shanchu was silent for a moment. “The last time I danced was when I was ten years old.”

She just wanted to give it a try, but she didn’t expect to pull off an actual flip.

“There’s no need for me to make any changes, then. Let’s split the whole dance into parts so that we can start practicing.”

Lin Shanchu had no idea how to explain to Yun Wu that she was not lying to her.

At this time, a scream came from the other side.

“Ah!”

“It’s Mr. Huo!”

“I can’t believe that I’m able to see Mr. Huo in person during this lifetime!”

Lin Shanchu looked over and saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in a wheelchair at the door.

Beside him stood Nan Mu. Li Mo stood behind him as well. He didn’t look like he had just arrived. It was unknown how long he had been there looking at the room.

After they were discovered, Li Mo pushed Huo Xunzhou into the room.

Huo Xunzhou’s eyes swept over her indifferently as if he had not seen her at all.

When the girls saw Huo Xunzhou, their faces turned red with excitement.

Even though Huo Xunzhou was in a wheelchair, his status in the entertainment industry still remained.

“How’s everyone’s preparation for the first assessment?” Nan Mu asked.

“We’re preparing right now,” the girls replied.

Nan Mu laughed. “Many of you are very capable. If you want to get a high rating during the first assessment, you’ll have to put in some effort.”

Li Mo looked for Lin Shanchu in the crowd as soon as he entered.

After searching for a long time, he still could not find Lin Shanchu. He whispered to Huo Xunzhou, “Big Brother, why can’t I see Ms. Lin?”

Huo Xunzhou looked up and glanced at Lin Shanchu in the corner. “She’s not here.”

Yun Wu was showing the moves to Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu glanced at Huo Xunzhou and happened to meet his eyes.

The two of them looked at each other for two seconds before Huo Xunzhou looked away.

Meanwhile, Yun Wu, who stood across from Lin Shanchu, demonstrated the moves seriously.

Noticing that Lin Shanchu was a little distracted, Yun Wu suddenly smiled. “Do you like Huo Xunzhou as well?”

Lin Shanchu did not bother to explain. She remembered the scandal between Yun Wu and Huo Xunzhou and asked, “Don’t you like him?”
