Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 730 - 292. 【Heartbreaking Fairy Tale】Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (3)

After the New Year.

Lin Chu’s longing for Lu Huai’an seemed to have reached its peak; if she didn’t see him soon, she might fall ill.

During the first month, everyone visits each other’s homes to offer New Year greetings.

The Lin Family is a prominent household in An City. Whether they are Lin Zongjun’s friends or businessmen he collaborates with, they would arrange in advance to come for a chat.

For businessmen, the most important asset is connections.

Every day, many unfamiliar faces would visit Lin Chu. Even though the house only had the two of them, father and daughter, aside from the servants, the New Year wasn’t exactly peaceful.

Lin Chu truly couldn’t take it anymore.

So, while Lin Zongjun was entertaining guests in the study, she sneaked out of the house.

Sitting in the taxi heading towards the old Lu Family residence, she sent a text to Ji Wanxia, "I broke out, Lin Dad will definitely call you, just casually make up a lie, like ’I went to study with you without eating or sleeping,’ okay? Mwah."

When it comes to helping with lies, you must find the right person.

Anyone could do it, except for Jiang Muzhou, that kind of parasite, who would just tell Lin Dad she was playing games.

After sending the text, Lin Chu nervously continued her escape.

The taxi couldn’t enter the villa area, so Lin Chu had to use her legs to run through the snow. She didn’t feel cold because she was thinking about the person she was about to see.

After ringing the doorbell, Lin Chu waited in the cold wind for about half a minute.

The one who opened the door was Shen Weiyi.

Shen Weiyi seemed a bit surprised to see Lin Chu, but that emotion only lasted a few seconds. She stepped aside, making way, "Don’t just stand there, it’s cold outside, come in quickly."

After finding a pair of slippers and placing them on the mat, she turned to Song Jingyuan sitting in the living room and said, "Aunt, it’s Lin Chu."

See, Shen Weiyi called Lu Huai’an’s mother ’Aunt’.

If she really was adopted, shouldn’t she call her ’Mom’?

Lin Chu shrugged and smiled silently.

She changed shoes and took off her cotton coat, handing it to a nearby servant.

Upon hearing Shen Weiyi’s words, Song Jingyuan, with her well-maintained youthful appearance, showed a gentle smile, "Oh, it’s Xiao Chu, senior year must be busy with studies, I haven’t seen you in a long time."

Lin Chu always felt that no mother could be gentler than Song Jingyuan.

She had seen photos of Mrs. Lu wearing a cheongsam standing next to Mr. Lu in full military uniform, gentle yet dignified. She thought... during the wartime of the Republic of China era, socialites should look like this...

Every time she heard Mrs. Lu speak, her breathing unconsciously slowed down.

"Happy New Year, Aunt Song," Lin Chu walked to the sofa and sat politely and adorably next to Song Jingyuan. Her youthful charm at her age didn’t need any pretense, "Isn’t that right? I’ve done more test papers in the past six months than in the past ten years. My round face has slimmed down to an oval."

Aunt Song obviously liked Lin Chu, anyone could see that.

"So pitiful," watching Lin Chu’s exaggerated little manner, Song Jingyuan chuckled and lovingly patted her cheek, "Then stay for dinner tonight, let Auntie make it up to you." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Lin Chu nodded happily.

While having tea, she quietly glanced up towards the second floor, "Where’s Brother Huai’an?"

"There’s a problem with a project. Your Uncle Lu and Grandpa Lu aren’t home, so Huai’an went to check it out first."

So Lin Chu came up empty.

Her goal was obviously not just to have a meal, so she asked casually, "Where’s the project? Is it far?"

It’s still snowing outside; I wonder if he’s had lunch...

"It’s in the suburbs somewhere, I’m not quite sure where exactly." Song Jingyuan looked at Shen Weiyi, who was sitting quietly across from her, speaking as gently to her as she did to anyone else, "Wei Yi, do you know where Huai’an is?"

"I do," Shen Weiyi nodded.

After hearing Shen Weiyi unreservedly reveal the project’s location, Lin Chu suddenly felt as if Shen Weiyi wasn’t worried at all about her being alone with Lu Huai’an.

This was truly an invisible declaration of war.

After Song Jingyuan went to the kitchen to instruct about the dinner ingredients, Lin Chu was fretting about finding an excuse to leave when a call from Ji Wanxia came to her rescue.

Without caring what the other person wanted to say, she immediately spoke after picking up, "What? Wanwan, your stomach hurts? Aren’t Grandpa and Brother Ji home? Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’ll come over right away!"

She deliberately raised her voice.

Song Jingyuan heard, knowing that the ’Wanwan’ Lin Chu mentioned was the girl from the Ji Family, and worriedly urged Lin Chu to go quickly.
