Chapter 321: What Can You Do? I Am Just Blessed with Good Fortune
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the day of trial for Tang Qidai and He Xiang's case, Lin Shanchu and Qi Cheng went to the court as observers.
Yan Qicheng was also present at the court as an observer.
The two sides inevitably engaged in a head-on confrontation.
Yan Qicheng lifted his chin slightly and glanced at Lin Shanchu indifferently. His high and mighty attitude was filled with contempt.
Lin Shanchu deliberately took off her sunglasses and glared at him.
The old geezer took advantage of his seniority. After being a watchdog in a rich family for a few years, he really thought he was someone important.
Yan Qicheng pursed his lip in rage, but he was concerned about the large number of people at the scene. Then, he turned his head with a long face and looked ahead.
Qi Cheng held back his laughter and pulled Lin Shanchu to sit down.
Then, Qi Cheng told her about the relevant findings that he recently found out.
“It's true that Yan Qicheng is not an ordinary servant in the Cheng family. When he was young, he were sworn friends with the patriarch of the Cheng family.”
“No wonder he thinks so highly of himself.”
For a wealthy family like the Cheng family, it was very common for them to take advantage of the situation and pick on the weak. Yan Qicheng was acquainted with the patriarch of the Cheng family, so he must have long been used to being flattered.
However, Lin Shanchu did not buy it.
No matter whom he was acquainted with, she would not show them respect as long as they provoked her.
“Now that you've offended him, he'll definitely give you a hard time in the
ruture wnenever ne gets a cnance.”
Qi Cheng chuckled and his tone was filled with joy.
“What are you happy about?” Lin Shanchu did not understand him.
Qi Cheng chuckled, “I jus think it is kind of exciting.”
Lin Shanchu was puzzled.
Had she driven Qi Cheng crazy at last?
The trial ended.
Tang Qidai had to pay a certain amount of compensation to He Xiang and was sentenced to six months in prison with a one-year reprieve.
After the verdict was announced, Tang Qidai turned to Lin Shanchu with a provocative and smug smile.
Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai looked at each other expressionlessly. Tang Qidai stared at her for two seconds before looking away in boredom.
Qi Cheng pulled out the sunglasses that was about to break from Lin Shanchu's hand.
Lin Shanchu slowly loosened her fingers and muttered, “She got off easy.”
Qi Cheng checked the sunglasses carefully. After confirming that they were not broken, he glanced at He Xiang in the defendant's seat.
“Although she is granted a reprieve, the result is already quite good in He Xiang's opinion.”
Tang Qidai strode toward Lin Shanchu at the entrance of the court.
Tang Qidai observed Lin Shanchu's expression as she spoke, “I'm going to Capital City. The flight is tonight.”
She would not be sent to prison because of the reprieve.
Yan Qicheng would be able to get Tang Qidai to leave Xu City tonight with just a little bit of effort.
Lin Shanchu was not surprised.
“Bon voyage.” Lin Shanchu raised her eyes slightly and her tone was exceptionally sincere, as if she was wishing her well from the bottom of her heart.
Tang Qidai laughed in anger.
“Lin Shanchu, I know you must be furious.”
Tang Qidai frowned and pretended to be troubled. “But what can you do? I am just blessed with good fortune. In the first half of my life, I had that idiot Lu Shiyuan to protect me. In the second half of my life, I will be the heiress of the
Cheng family in Capital City and you will never be able to catch up to me!”
Lin Shanchu chuckled, “In that case, I wish you get along well with the young masters and young ladies of the Cheng family, Miss Cheng.”
The Cheng family in Capital City was a large family with many children.
The children of wealthy families who had grown up in an atmosphere of power struggles hated illegitimate daughters like Tang Qidai the most.
Tang Qidai was well aware of this point. Her expression changed as she raised her voice as a bluff.
“Just you wait!”
Tang Qidai turned around and left with Yan Qicheng.
He Xiang saw Lin Shanchu staring in the direction where Tang Qidai had left and thought that she was angry.
Hence, she walked up to Lin Shanchu and comforted her, “Sister Lin, don't mind what she said. I'm already very satisfied with this result.”
Lin Shanchu averted her gaze and said regretfully, “It's a pity that I can't go to Capital City to watch the drama unfold.”
He Xiang was speechless.
On the same day, someone went to the web portal, China Judgements Online,
to dig up the results of the case between He Xiang and Tang Qidai.
Tang Qidai was trending.
However, this trending topic only appeared at the bottom of the trending list for a while before disappearing quickly.
Lin Shanchu knew that the Cheng family had made a move.
After all, Tang Qidai was the illegitimate daughter of the Cheng family's patriarch. As long as the patriarch was alive, he would definitely protect her.
Lin Shanchu was a little envious of Tang Qidai.
Tang Qidai had not done many good deeds in her life, but she was indeed blessed with good fortune.
At least she lived a better life than her and always had someone to protect her.
Lin Shanchu was in a bad mood when she thought about it.
If she was in a bad mood, she could only do something fun.
For example, she could go to Lu Shiyuan to collect the debt.
Lin Shanchu went straight to Lu Corporation with her bodyguards.
When Lin Shanchu took the bodyguards to the floor where Lu Shiyuan's office was located, his secretary rushed over.
“Miss Lin, President Lu went out to handle some matters. He is not in the company.”
Lin Shanchu ignored the secretary and pushed open the door to Lu Shiyuan's office.
The office was in a mess. The desk was filled with documents that had not been processed. It was obvious that Lu Shiyuan had not been taking good care of the company's affairs recently.
However, under normal circumstances, Zhou Yan would help Lu Shiyuan deal with most the unimportant documents. The documents should not have piled up so much.
Lin Shanchu remembered that she saw Lu Shiyuan on the day of the wrap party, but Zhou Yan was nowhere to be seen.
Hence, she turned her head and asked the secretary, 'Where's Zhou Yan?”
“Zhou Yan resigned some time ago.”
“Zhou Yan actually resigned?” Lin Shanchu laughed out loud.
“Shanshan.”
Lu Shiyuan's voice sounded.
The smile on Lin Shanchu's face faded as she asked, “Have you gathered the money?”
Lu Shiyuan frowned and asked, “Shanshan, do you have to talk about money whenever we meet?”
“What else do we have to talk about? Are we going to talk about how you've repaid my kindness with ingratitude and how you've misappropriating my property for the past sixteeen years?”
Lu Shiyuan grimaced more with every word Lin Shanchu said.
“I've sold everything I could, but I really can't come up with enough…
Lin Shanchu interrupted him impatiently, “Don't you still have the shares of Lu
Corporation?”
“You aren't even willing to sell your shares, and yet you said you knew you're wrong?” Lin Shanchu shot him a disdainful glance before leaving with her bodyguards.
Lu Shiyuan stood in place for a long time until Lin Shanchu's figure disappeared around the corner. Then, he turned around and returned to his office.
The next day, Lu Corporation's stock hit the lower circuit limit again.
Experienced people could tell that someone was selling Lu Corporation's shares in large quantities.
When Lin Shanchu saw the news, she removed the other shareholders from the blacklist.
Then, she went to look for Huo Xunzhou.
When she went there, she found Chu Gushen there as well. The two of them seemed to have just finished their discussion.
Chu Gushen bade Lin Shanchu farewell and left in a hurry.
“What have you been busy with recently?” Huo Xunzhou had been busy ever since she entered the film set to film the final scene of “Top Feast”..
