Lin Shanchu had no appetite because of her terminal illness.

But she still smiled and responded, "Okay."

"I watched your livestream." Nan Mu continued to praise her. "You look really good on camera."

Lin Shanchu asked, "You even watched my livestream?"

"Everyone watched it. Even Xunzhou watched it." Nan Mu thought about how he had been so eager to win the lucky draw at that time and felt embarrassed, so he dragged Li Mo and Huo Xunzhou into the conversation.

Lin Shanchu just smiled.

Huo Xunzhou did appear in her first livestream.

"He even watched it for a long time... Ow!" As soon as Nan Mu finished speaking, Huo Xunzhou kicked him from under the table.

Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou.

She saw Huo Xunzhou put the last potato slice on the plate into his own bowl and ate it with the rice emotionlessly.

It was as if he didn't hear them at all.

...

On the other side, Lu Shiyuan was looking for his mother's belongings in the ashes of the burned ruins.

"The police were here before. They said that the fire started in your study, so this is where the fire was the most severe."

The elderly butler stayed by his side and helped him look for something in the ashes.

After Lu Shiyuan heard what he said, he smiled gloomily. "I see."

"Brother Shiyuan."

Tang Qidai's voice came from afar.

"Qidai, why have you come?" Lu Shiyuan quickly got up and walked toward her.

"I heard that there was a fire at your house, so I immediately rushed over." Tang Qidai furrowed her brows and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Lu Shiyuan's eyes stared at the possible location of the study room in the ruins.

"How did it get burned like this..."

Tang Qidai followed his line of sight, her eyes flickering. "Then, are Aunt's relics also..."

She paused for a moment.

Lu Shiyuan's expression told her that his mother's belongings had all been burned to nothing.

"Brother Shiyuan, don't be sad. Aunt's spirit won't blame you. After all, this was just an accident."

"It wasn't an accident."

Lu Shiyuan's voice was dark.

"What?" Tang Qidai's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you saying that someone set Lu Manor on fire?"

She remembered Lin Shanchu's recent crazy antics and probed, "Could it be... Shanshan?"

Tang Qidai was used to observing Lu Shiyuan's emotional changes.

She could feel that Lu Shiyuan's aura became much sharper after she mentioned Lin Shanchu.

"Is it really Shanshan?" Tang Qidai revealed a look of disbelief before asking with concern, "Where did she go? Is she alright?"

"She's doing very well," Lu Shiyuan sneered.

"How could Shanshan do such a foolish thing? Doesn't she know how important Aunt's belongings are to you?" Tang Qidai's tone was as understanding as she could be.

"I seriously don't understand what Shanshan is thinking. How could she do such an outrageous thing?"

Lu Shiyuan sighed slightly. "Qidai, I've told you long ago that it's useless to reason with Lin Shanchu. If she had half of your kindness, she wouldn't have caused so much trouble!"
