Xia Jinmeng was taken aback by the sudden slap.

Her initial response was to subconsciously cover her face.

Only after a few seconds did she react.

“Lin Shanchu, you bitch! How dare you hit me!”

Xia Jinmeng roared and was about to retaliate.

Lin Shanchu was prepared.

She took a step back and pushed the toilet cubicle door open which caused Xia Jinmeng’s hand to hit the door.

There was a loud bang.

Xia Jinmeng cried out in pain. Glaring at Lin Shanchu, she cursed fiercely, “Lin

Shanchu, do you really think I won’t do anything to you?!”

Lin Shanchu responded in a grave tone, “No, you should be asking me if my hand hurts.”

“Huh?”

She carefully glanced Lin Shanchu up and down.

She noticed that Lin Shanchu’s expression was unusually serious and she didn’t look like she was joking at all.

“Are you crazy?” Xia Jinmeng turned around and took the chance to leave. Yet, couldn’t help turning back and muttering, “Lunatic.” She Imew that Lin Shanchu couldn’t be trusted.

What could a crazy person accomplish?

She’d better find a solution herself.

Just as Xia Jinmeng was about to take a step forward, Lin Shanchu’s voice resounded from behind her.

“Lu Shiyuan likes this.”

Xia Jinmeng abruptly pulled her foot back and looked at Lin Shanchu in bewilderment, ‘What??”

“I said Lu Shiyuan likes this. He likes it when you don’t argue back or fight back. After he hits you, if you ask him if his hand hurts, he will think you’re kind, gentle, and considerate. Then, he will like you even more.”

Although Lin Shanchu’s words are so absurd, her expression is still solemn like before.

Xia Jinmeng hesitated for a while before asking in confusion, “Are you serious?”

Lin Shanchu nodded solemnly and said, “To put it simply, Lu Shiyuan likes a

‘Virgin Mary’.”

Xia Jinmeng furrowed her brows with obvious doubt on her face, but she remained rooted in place.

Lin Shanchu was a woman who never played by the rules.

Although she still felt that Lin Shanchu’s words were beyond ridiculous, she still held a glimmer of hope from hearing something useful.

She had indeed chosen the right person.

Lin Shanchu could tell that Xia Jinmeng was starting to consider what she said and slowly smiled.

“Do you know why Lu Shiyuan didn’t break off the engagement with me all these years?”Lin Shanchu’s tone was full of suggestive meaning.

As expected, Xia Jinmeng asked, “Why?”

Lin Shanchu’s smile stretched a little wider, “Because I don’t fight for him.”

Xia Jinmeng felt that Lin Shanchu’s smile was indescribably strange, but she kept quiet.

Lin Shanchu continued, “Lu Shiyuan has been together with Tang Qidai for years. Their relationship is well-known. But, have I ever openly expressed my dissatisfaction with their relationship?”

Lin Shanchu added in a fake surprised tone, “Oh, I meant before I entered ‘My Stage’.”

Xia Jinmeng started to recall.

Over the years, there had been countless rumors about Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai’s affair everyvvhere.

But as his actual fiancée, Lin Shanchu was like an invisible person. There was no such person in the entertainment industry.

Were those absurd things Lin Shanchu said just now… actually true?

Could it be that Lu Shiyuan really liked… the ‘Virgin Mary’ type as Lin Shanchu said?

Lin Shanchu concluded, “So, that’s why Lu Shiyuan likes women who are forgiving and patient even when they are suffering. You know?”

Xia Jinmeng’s lips twitched, looking like she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Lin Shanchu noticed but didn’t ask further.

She circled Xia Jinmeng and finally placed her hand on Xia Jinmeng’s shoulder.

Her voice was soft and gentle.” Your personality and Lu Shiyuan’s preferences are worlds apart. So from now on, you have to start learning.”

Xia Jinmeng felt chills, “Learning what?”

“Learning the skills of a ‘Virgin Mary’ of course! You have to be understanding, gentle, thoughtful, considerate, and enduring.” These were the characteristics given to Lin Shanchu in the original book.

Xia Jinmeng still insisted that something was amiss, “Does Lu Shiyuan really like this kind of woman?”

Lin Shanchu said patiently, “Once the program is over, I can take you to see how Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan get along when they are together. You’ll naturally believe it then.”

Xia Jinmeng recalled what happened to her and Tang Qidai in the orphanage when they were young.

Every once in a while, someone would come to the orphanage to adopt a child.

She and Tang Qidai would be placed in the same room.

Tang Qidai was well-behaved and good-tempered. She was the child the adults loved the most.

However, only Xia Jinmeng, who had spent most of her time with her, knew that Tang Qidai was not only hot-tempered and vicious, but she was also very good at pretending.

Therefore, Tang Qidai got herself adopted by the richest family present that day in the orphanage.

Thinking of the past, Xia Jinmeng sneered softly, ‘You don’t need to show me. I believe you.”

“Oh?” Lin Shanchu tilted her head, “Why is that?”

Xia Jinmeng began, ‘When we were kids, Tang Qidai was the favorite child of the adults in the orphanage because she was obedient and kind-hearted.” Then, she asked Lin Shanchu, “Isn’t that ridiculous?”

“So, what was the truth?” Lin Shanchu knew how well Tang Qidai could conceal herself, so she wasn’t surprised to hear this.

“The orphanage principal used to have a cat. It was round, fluffy and everyone loved it.”

Xia Jinmeng relived her memories as she spoke.

“Tang Qidai also acted as if she loved it… But that cat died on Tang Qidai’s fifth birthday.”

Xia Jinmeng turned to look at Lin Shanchu, “Guess how it died?”

Lin Shanchu’s face darkened, but she didn’t say anything.

Xia Jinmeng didn’t actually expect Lin Shanchu to answer. So, she went on “Tang Qidai strangled it because the principal forgot her birthday and didn’t prepare a birthday cake for her.”

Lin Shanchu pursed her lips. “Why?”

“Why else?” Xia Jinmeng laughed, “It’s to retaliate against the principal for not preparing a birthday cake for her.”

Lin Shanchu’s expression turned sour.

She thought that Tang Qidai had become who she was today after she was adopted by the Tang family and met Lu Shiyuan.

But it turned out that some people were simply born bad.

“I had bad luck from a young age. I watched Tang Qidai strangle that cat and was even forced to bury it for her. I’m afraid the principal still doesn’t know how horrible of a death her beloved kitten suffered.’

With a cold sneer, Xia Jinmeng looked at Lin Shanchu but found her expression unusually grim.

“What’s wrong with you?”

She observed Lin Shanchu intensely for a moment and said, “Don’t tell me you’re afraid now?”

“Ahh Lin Shanchu, you’re soft. You’re all bark and no bite.”

It was no wonder why Lin Shanchu couldn’t surpass Tang Qidai all this while..
