Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 729 - 291. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (2)_4
Lin Chu wasn’t actually crying; she was just venting a bit. When she lifted her head, she was still the beautiful Miss Lin.
Turning around, she saw the so-called ’love rival’ her friends mentioned. After scanning the other person up and down, she settled her gaze on the other’s chest.
Hmm, it seems like Miss Campus Queen’s chest got a bit bigger again today.
Narrowing her eyes, she mumbled to herself, "Is that... E or D?"
Wanxia didn’t understand and couldn’t be bothered to ask.
Shen Weiyi was slightly taken aback to see the two of them, then walked over gracefully. With the advantage of age and high heels, she appeared more mature and womanly compared to Lin Chu, who was still wearing her Anzhong school uniform.
"Wanxia, Lin Chu, what a coincidence. Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to have classes during the evening in your final year?"
Lin Chu gave a sweet smile, "The two of us are pretty smart. We don’t have to study hard to get into An University."
Children born into wealthy families, no matter what achievements or honors they attain, can’t escape the label of using family connections to get ahead, and all their efforts will be selectively ignored.
Shen Weiyi smiled politely and gracefully, making it unclear whether she was being sarcastic or in agreement, "You’re right, I was being nosy."
You don’t need to dress this meticulously for school. Every item may appear simple, but the careful attention to detail showed the owner had put thought into the outfit.
Lin Chu’s gaze lingered on the necklace around the other’s neck, "Did you... go to see Lu Huai’an?"
Shen Weiyi didn’t hide it, "Yes, today is Huai’an’s birthday. We agreed to have dinner with his friends. He just called, saying he’s over by the pool."
Lin Chu seemed to be just asking casually, showing little emotional response after hearing the answer.
The seventeen-year-old girl’s smile was extremely charming, "Then you should hurry. Wearing so little, catching a cold wouldn’t be good."
"Thanks for your concern," Shen Weiyi nodded, glancing briefly at Ji Wanxia, who hadn’t even bothered to look at her. Sometimes dislikes are baseless, especially among girls, so she didn’t mind much.
Re-focusing on Lin Chu, she smiled politely, "Well... goodbye."
Lin Chu waved, "Bye~"
After Shen Weiyi walked away, Lin Chu’s smile collapsed, and she felt even worse than before.
She didn’t want to speak, so Wanxia naturally kept quiet.
As they walked to the school gate, Lin Chu suddenly realized something seemed off.
Where’s Jiang Muzhou?
"Wanwan, why don’t you head home first? I’m going to check if Jiang Muzhou is still alive."
"Shouldn’t I go with you?"
Lin Chu knew perfectly well that her friend was preoccupied with other thoughts, and gave her a knowing, teasing look, "Isn’t Brother Ji still sick? Do you have time to accompany me?"
If Lu Huai’an were ill, she’d likely feel the same.
So no jealousy.
Wanxia was left speechless by Lin Chu’s remark, rolled her eyes at her, and hailed a taxi.
Standing at the school gate, Lin Chu called Jiang Muzhou, stretching her arm to keep the phone away from her ear.
After letting him vent his frustration, she put on a fake smile, "Little Zhouzhou, I’m waiting for you at the school gate, the main entrance."
After speaking, she quickly hung up.
Given Jiang Muzhou’s habits, he surely wouldn’t just leave her there.
It turned out she was right.
Not only did Jiang Muzhou not leave through the side entrance, but he also brought her a bubble tea.
But as soon as she took a sip, that jerk squeezed the cup, and the tea shot up through the straw, spraying all over her face.
Can you take that?
Of course not!
...
Lu Huai’an was driving, Shen Weiyi sat in the passenger seat, and the back seat was occupied by Gu Shaozhi.
As they passed the school gate, he glimpsed Jiang Muzhou and Lin Chu playfully messing around. Deep within his dark eyes, an obscure shadow flickered.
His chiseled face showed no emotion, but he tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
Shen Weiyi, picking a restaurant on her phone, noticed the car speed up suddenly. Turning to look at the man behind the wheel, she couldn’t detect anything unusual.
Seeing the car barely avoiding a student engrossed in their phone, she couldn’t help but speak up, "There are lots of people near the school. You shouldn’t drive so fast."
Lu Huai’an replied with a simple syllable, "Mm."
Although the speed remained above the safety limit, it was much better than before.
Shen Weiyi sensed that he wasn’t in a good mood today. Since there were no outsiders in the car, she softly inquired, "Huai’an, what’s the matter?"
Lu Huai’an turned the steering wheel. Having already joined the workforce, he was more adept than his peers at hiding his emotions, "It’s work-related stuff, you wouldn’t understand."
Shen Weiyi pressed her lips together, "...Oh."
With birthdays only coming once a year, she didn’t want to upset him, so she sat quietly in the passenger seat and refrained from asking further questions.
————
Perhaps rejected too many times, Lin Chu had grown accustomed. After Lu Huai’an’s birthday had passed, she didn’t display any behavior suggestive of profound sadness or start skipping classes for no reason.
However, her daydreaming sessions lasted longer these days.
Every minute and second of the final year of high school seemed to fly by.
The day before the winter break, gentle snowflakes started to fall from the sky, marking the first snowfall of the year in An City.
Listlessly slumped over her desk, Lin Chu gazed vacantly, "Why is it that despite my beauty and notable family background, Lu Huai’an just won’t take interest in me?"
Many people said that Shen Weiyi had a rough start, but she was lucky enough to make others envious.
In her teens, she was just the daughter of a servant, but in the blink of an eye, she became the Lu Family’s adopted daughter, living and dining with the idol.
Shen Xiaohua had a beautiful voice and was training at Gu Entertainment Company. Rumor had it that she would debut next year, boasting talent, looks, and connections, making it easy for her to become popular.
And Mr. Lu? Though still a fledgling in the business world, over time, he would undoubtedly become the unattainable new aristocrat of An City.
The handsome boy and the pretty girl looked stunning when together.
But...an adopted daughter is still a daughter. Even though there’s no blood relation, they were legal siblings.
To be visually pleasing is one thing, but they probably wouldn’t end up together.
Only Lin Chu knew that ’adopted daughter’ was merely a title from the Lu Family to provide Shen Weiyi with a legitimate reason to stay. In fact, there was an engagement between Shen Weiyi and Lu Huai’an.
Aunt Lu had told her that.
Still, no matter how much Lu Huai’an disliked her, he never mentioned having a fiancée or girlfriend in front of her.
Which means, Lu Huai’an must not like Shen Weiyi.
Thus, her persistent pursuit doesn’t count as a third party trying to ruin someone else’s relationship... right?
Jiang Muzhou, sneaking glances at Lin Chu’s chest while playing games under his textbook, remarked with utter sincerity in his voice and eyes, "Perhaps... your chest is too flat."
Lin Chu instantly found her energy, "Get lost!"
