Chapter 232: Do You Have to Be So Scared
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The keywords in the comment section of “Top Feast” were a little unusual—”it’s too cliché and too addictive”, “am I crazy or is the screenwriter crazy?”, “will people still die?”and “continue with the romance plot”.
At first glance, it was difficult to associate these keywords with the title of the drama.
She wanted to find out how good this drama was.
There was only one sentence in the synopsis: A top-notch banquet at the end of one’s desire.
Lin Shanchu was amazed by the opening credit before the main show even started.
The gloomy opening credit was very well-made. In the extravagant banquet scene, the well-dressed people had smiles on their faces with a razor-sharp sense of uncanniness, assaulting one’s senses and making one tremble.
After the opening credit was over, the opening scene showed a family gathering in a luxurious manor.
In the lively atmosphere, a storm was brewing as a long take showed everyone present one by one.
After that, the most powerful old man in the family appeared with his illegitimate daughter.
The illegitimate daughter had a pure and kind face, looking innocent and beautiful.
According to the pattern, she was probably the female lead.
Lin Shanchu thought that the latter plot would probably be about the female lead being blinded by the wealth of the upper class and gradually developing evil thoughts. Then, she would be devoured by desire and eventually turn back after going down the wrong path.
But soon, Lin Shanchu was slapped in the face.
The first episode ended with the illegitimate daughter killing a maid.
In the second episode, the illegitimate daughter got together with the husband of the old man’s eldest granddaughter. However, the old man doted on her and the other grandchildren could not do anything to her. Therefore, they discussed in private how to deal with the illegitimate daughter.
In the third episode, the old man told the illegitimate daughter to behave herself and even said that he knew she was not his daughter.
It was… quite exciting.
The screenwriter simply had a wild imagination.
It was cliché and ridiculous, but it was really addictive.
A total of eight episodes were updated.
Lin Shanchu watched until the fifth episode in the morning.
If He Xiang had not called to ask if she had had lunch, she might have continued watching the drama.
“I’m not hungry.” Certainly, she could not tell her that she forgot to eat her meal because she had been binge-watching the drama.
“You have to eat even if you’re not hungry. There’s still sandwiches in the fridge…” He Xiang reminded Lin Shanchu, as if she was her mother.
“I understand. Go get busy. Goodbye.” Lin Shanchu was busy watching the drama, so she hung up the phone in a hurry after a few perfunctory words.
He Xiang was bewildered.
Lin Shanchu’s phone rang again as soon as she just pressed the play button.
She was afraid that she would miss the plot, so she did not even take her eyes off the TV screen. She grabbed her phone with one hand and pressed the pause button with the remote control with the other.
She did not look at her phone screen, so she thought it was a call from Xiang.
“Is there anything else?”
After two seconds of silence, a young man’s voice came through.
“Go out and play.”
“Huo Chaosheng?”
Lin Shanchu brough the phone to her front and looked at the phone, only to realize that it was really Huo Chaosheng’s number. “I’m at the entrance of your neighborhood. Come out quickly.”
“I’m not going.”
She wanted to catch up with the drama, so she was not going out.
“You said you wanted to play with me, and now you’re going back on your word?”
“Just because I said it doesn’t mean I have to do it. I’m not a woman of my word either.”
Not only was Huo Chaosheng not angry, but he even sounded quite happy. “Alright then, come out for a meal.”
If it was a normal person, they would have smashed their phones in anger.
Lin Shanchu wanted to hang up the phone directly.
However, she suddenly remembered the previous fight between Huo Chaosheng and Lu Shiyuan.
It was time to test if Huo Chaosheng could kill Lu Shiyuan.
“Alright, I’ll come out right away.”
Lin Shanchu reluctantly turned off the TV, changed her clothes and went out.
Huo Chaosheng was driving an eye-catching golden roadster.
He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and waving at Lin Shanchu from a distance, looking like a rich young master who spent money like dirt.
Lin Shanchu walked up to him and reached out to pull the door open, but she realized that the door would not budge.
She grumpily raised her foot and landed two kicks on the car door, gesturing for Huo Chaosheng to open it.
Huo Chaosheng jumped out of the car. “Who would enter a roadster through the car door? Of course you have to jump in.”
After he finished speaking, he did a demonstration in front of Lin Shanchu and jumped into the car.
Lin Shanchu was speechless. This lunatic was really incurable.
She took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, “I’m wearing a dress.”
Huo Chaosheng was stunned for a moment before he realized and said, “Oh right.”
Then, he jumped out and opened the car door for Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu was unable to open her eyes due to the scorching sun. She gritted her teeth and said, “It’s scorching hot.”
“It won’t be scorching hot when there’s wind later.” Although Huo Chaosheng said that, he still closed the soft top.
Then, Huo Chaosheng started the car.
The roadster shot out like an arrow.
Right after Lin Shanchu stabilized her posture, she heard Huo Chaosheng ask her, “What are we going to eat later?”
“It’s up to you.” Although Huo Chaosheng had a screw loose, he was still a mortal who probably would not eat too outrageously.
Half an hour later, Lin Shanchu sat at the dining table expressionlessly in a quaint sashimi shop with bizarre interior decoration.
A huge sashimi platter was placed in front of her.
The beef heart sashimi closest to her was still covered in bloodstains.
Of course, there were also sashimi without blood.
The large intestine sashimi that was served on the side did not contain any blood.
Huo Chaosheng smiled at her and said, “Hurry up and eat. It won’t be fresh if you keep it for too long.”
As he spoke, he picked up a piece ot beet heart sashimi and put it into his mouth.
Various raw odors and the smell of blood mixed together, making Lin Shanchu frown.
She barely managed to eat a few mouthfuls of sashimi and stopped eating.
Huo Chaosheng was not stupid. Naturally, he could tell that she had no appetite.
“You don’t like to eat this? I thought you’d like it.”
Huo Chaosheng’s expression darkened because he thought that Lin Shanchu was of the same kind as him, and Lin Shanchu would definitely like whatever he liked to eat.
Lin Shanchu’s expression remained unchanged as she tried to fool him. “No,
I’m just in a bad mood and my appetite is a little bad.”
If she wanted Huo Chaosheng to help her kill Lu Shiyuan, she had to play some tricks.
However, before Lin Shanchu could make the excuse that she had prepared, Huo Chaosheng asked, “Is it because Lu Shiyuan is going to be discharged soon?”
“He is going to be discharged?” She had gone to the hospital last time to reopen Lu Shiyuan’s wound, so he should not have been discharged so soon.
Moreover, how did Huo Chaosheng know that Lu Shiyuan was going to be discharged?
“Don’t you know? The news has been spread for a long time. When I passed by the hospital yesterday, I saw reporters guarding the hospital entrance.”
Huo Chaosheng’s words answered the doubts in Lin Shanchu’s heart, but at the same time, it gave rise to her new doubts.
Why did Lu Shiyuan want everyone to know that he was going to be discharged from the hospital?
What was Lu Shiyuan’s motive?
Huo Chaosheng observed Lin Shanchu’s expression and mocked, “Why do you look like you’re facing a great enemy when you heard that Lu Shiyuan is going to be discharged? Do you have to be so scared?”
Lin Shanchu did not care about his mockery and asked seriously, “Do you know the exact time he will be discharged?”
Huo Chaosheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. “It seems to be today..”
