Chapter 361: Didn ‘t You Hear My Girlfriend Calling You?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ming Yao took out the contract from her bag and handed it to Lin Shanchu. When Lin Shanchu was looking at the contract, Mingyao crossed her arms and sized her up with a serious expression. She seemed a little vigilant and not as relaxed as before.

As for the cover girl of the next issue of MMLY, the initial candidate was indeed Cheng Fanjing.

The Ming family and the Cheng family did not have many business dealings with each other and their friendship was average.

To show her sincerity, Ming Yao personally asked Cheng Fanjing out for coffee to discuss the cover.

Cheng Fanjing neither agreed nor refused her immediately at that time. It was obvious that she wanted to leave Mingyao hanging.

Ming Yao was about the same age as Yun Yi. She was six or seven years older than Cheng Fanjing, so they did not hang out often and had little interaction.

She gave Cheng Fanjing face, but Cheng Fanjing wanted to take advantage of

her and put on airs.

After that, the news that Ming Yao had personally invited Cheng Fanjing to shoot the cover of MMLY quickly spread in the circle. Everyone said that Cheng Fanjing acted like she was some kind of big shot.

Ming Yao allowed the matter to spread. She did not defend herself, nor did she contact Cheng Fanjing. Instead, she began to look for new candidates.

Coincidentally, Lin Shanchu came to Capital City at that time.

When she first saw Lin Shan at the jewelry brand event, she had this idea.

On that day, she went back and checked Lin Shanchu’s information.

She found Lin Shanchu to be very interesting.

She has experienced many ups and downs. Although she looked cute and beautiful, she had some tricks up her sleeve. She even had a scandal with Huo Chaosheng, whom Cheng Fanjing had taken a fancy to.

Now that she had interacted with Lin Shanchu, it was indeed as she had thought. This lady was really not simple.

She wanted to test Lin Shanchu, but she did not expect Lin Shanchu to trick her.

Lin Shanchu quickly flipped through the contract in her hand and quickly reached the last page. She then picked up a pen and started to sign the contract.

“Aren’t you going to read it carefully?” Ming Yao asked as a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Lin Shanchu was busy signing the papers and did not even look up. “We’re family. I believe you.”

Ming Yao was speechless. She felt that Lin Shanchu was really shameless.

Ming Yao said coldly, “You should claim less connections with your relatives and don’t mix work with personal matters.”

“Oh,” Lin Shanchu replied calmly.

Then, she signed the contract and pushed it in front of Mingyao.

Ming Yao was a strict person and couldn’t help but advise Lin Shanchu, “Do you want to confirm the content again?”

“No need.” Lin Shanchu shook her head and said with a smile, “Huo Xunzhou will help me if you scam me.”

“Didn’t you say that we’re family just now?” Ming Yao sneered.

“You were the one who said I shouldn’t claim connections with my relatives,” Lin Shanchu said innocently.

Ming Yao was speechless.

If possible, she would never want to work with Lin Shanchu again.

Ming Yao took a deep breath and drank the coffee in one gulp.

When she put down the coffee cup, she saw Lin Shanchu staring at her with wide eyes.

“Is there anything else?” Ming Yao’s gaze became vigilant.

“You and Big Brother…”

As soon as Lin Shanchu opened her mouth, Ming Yao interrupted her, “I have nothing to do with him.”

Lin Shanchu was bewildered.

They had already kissed, but she said that he had nothing to do with her?

‘You’re such a scumbag.” Lin Shanchu was shocked. Ming Yao replied, “…It’s none of your business!”

Were all female celebrities nowadays so talkative?

Lin Shanchu still had that innocent look on her face as she said, “I was just asking…”

Looking behind Lin Shanchu, Ming Yao said expressionlessly, “Your boyfriend is here.”

Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou.

She immediatelv got uD and asked Huo Xunzhou with a smile. “Whv are vou here?”

“I have an appointment with someone.” Huo Xunzhou glanced at Mingyao as he spoke.

Ming Yao nodded slightly at him as a greeting.

Lin Shanchu noticed his gaze and explained, “I made an appointment with Miss Ming to discuss the contract.”

“Yeah.”

“The discussion is already over. We had a happy conversation.”

Lin Shanchu spoke as she looked at Ming Yao.

Ming Yao looked away.

Huo Xunzhou pursed his lip slightly and tried not to laugh.

It did not look like a happy conversation at all.

“Sorry for the trouble, Miss Ming.” Huo Xunzhou nodded at Ming Yao.

Ming Yao smiled expressionlessly and said, “It’s fine.”

As long as Lin Shanchu spoke less, she would not feel troubled at all.

“Xunzhou.”

A familiar voice sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw Huo Zhuxiu with a solemn expression.

After he appeared, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed.

Mingyao stood up and greeted Huo Zhuxiu respectfully. “Uncle Huo.” Huo Zhuxiu nodded and glanced at Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu met his gaze without avoiding it. Both of them could see the coldness in each other’s eyes.

In the end, Lin Shanchu called out to him first.

“Uncle Huo.”

Huo Zhuxiu turned around and was about to leave as if he did not hear her.

Huo Zhuxiu had sent people to kill her, so it was normal for him to ignore her.

She only greeted him because of Huo Xunzhou.

Ming Yao saw everything from the sidelines and did not make a sound, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.

Lin Shanchu did not take him seriously.

Huo Xunzhou suddenly asked, “Didn’t you hear my girlfriend calling you?”

Huo Zhuxiu stopped in his tracks and frowned as he turned to look at Huo Xunzhou with a hint of warning in his malicious eyes.

Huo Xunzhou acted as if he did not notice Huo Zhuxiu’s warning and turned around to comfort Lin Shanchu.

“Shanshan, my father is a narrow-minded person. There’s no need to greet him again in the future. People who don’t know how to respect others don’t deserve to be respected.”

His tone was gentle, but his voice was neither loud nor soft. The people around the tables could hear him, but they dared not breathe loudly and tried their best to reduce their presence.

Huo Xunzhou’s words were practically a slap in the face for Huo Zhuxiu.

No one dared to watch the Huo family’s commotion.

Huo Zhuxiu’s face darkened as he shouted, “Huo Xunzhou!”

Huo Xunzhou’s expression remained calm.

Before he left, he said gently to Lin Shanchu, “I’ll come and find you after I’m done.”

Lin Shanchu frowned slightly and did not say anything.

Ming Yao asked the waiter to bring the menu over.

When the menu was placed in front of Lin Shanchu, she still frowned and did not react.

Ming Yao said, “Order a few dishes and eat while waiting for Huo Xunzhou to come over.”

Lin Shanchu pushed the menu to Mingyao. “You should place the order.” Ming Yao did not bother to be modest with her. She took the menu and ordered a few dishes in one go.

She looked at Lin Shanchu again, not understanding her expression.

She did not look like she was sad after being ignored by her boyfriend’s parent, nor did she look like she was happy after her boyfriend stood on her side to help her vent her anger.

Ming Yao simply asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Lin Shanchu replied worriedly, “Will Huo Zhuxiu hit someone?”

Ming Yao fell silent for a moment before she said, “They’re biological father and son. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Lin Shanchu nodded.

Ming Yao thought her words would get through to her.

However, Lin Shanchu slowly stood up the next second and said, “In other words, we can’t rule out the possibility that Huo Zhuxiu will lay a hand on Huo

Xunzhou..”
