Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 745 - 295. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (6)_4
Got rejected in various ways three times, still didn’t have a single breakthrough.
Sure enough, she was Lin Chu’s friend.
"I have a buddy whose family is really wealthy, and he’s not ugly. He’s had his eyes on you for a long time," Jiang Muzhou took a deep drag on his cigarette, blowing smoke mischievously in Lin Chu’s face, unsurprisingly getting punched twice by her.
He didn’t mind, grinning cheekily, "If you can have a meal with him at the same table, then I’ll chat about heaven and earth with your senior sister."
This was clearly a provocation.
Lin Chu had plenty of friends, but she never flirted ambiguously with any guy. The reason Jiang Muzhou said this was because he understood Lin Chu.
They were the same kind of people, so neither had the right to look down on the other.
"Sure," Lin Chu agreed, "No time like the present, let’s do tonight."
To give Jiang Muzhou a fresh start, she was willing to sacrifice herself this much.
Truly touching.

The friend Jiang Muzhou mentioned is a rich second generation, but he didn’t have any shadows of arrogance and domineering behavior, and was actually more polite than boys from ordinary families.
Although Lin Chu was distracted, he didn’t show any displeasure and always managed to come up with new topics.
The phone rang; it was Lin Zongjun calling.
Feeling as if she was finally saved, Lin Chu answered the phone and stood up, "Sorry, I have something to do, enjoy your meal, I’m heading out first."
She really seemed unable to do it.
The rich second generation was obviously a bit disappointed, as he hadn’t had the chance to tell the more interesting jokes he prepared. He stood up to follow, "Then let me send you off."
"No need, my friend is coming to pick me up," Lin Chu smiled apologetically, grabbed her bag, and dashed out of the restaurant.
The sound of her high heels clicking on the floor was crisp and lively.
Lin Chu answered the phone, "Dad, do you need something? I’m on my way back."
The older you get, the less you want to wander around outside; home is always the best.
Lin Zongjun’s gentle voice came from the other end of the call, "Xiao Chu, just head directly to Uncle Lu’s house, I’m here too."
Uncle Lu’s house...?
Lu Huai’an’s house?
"Huh?" Lin Chu was clearly a bit surprised, her movement of opening the car door pausing, "You guys are discussing business, why do I need to come?"
Two months ago, due to a misguided decision and malicious external funding manipulation, Lu’s stocks plummeted, causing severe losses, and the entire company was on the brink of collapse.
The Lin Family provided timely support, injecting funds, allowing Lu’s to overcome the crisis.
Lu Huai’an had been in the company from morning till night, and including the time prior, Lin Chu hadn’t seen him for three months.
"It’s regarding you, it’s better with the person in question present."
Upon hearing Lin Zongjun’s words, Lin Chu was even more confused, standing there blankly for a good while before getting into the car.
Regarding her?
The quiet environment in the car allowed Lin Chu’s thoughts to gradually become clearer...
Although the Lin Group would inevitably end up with her, she hadn’t joined the company yet, so whatever her dad and Uncle Lu were discussing about her wouldn’t be business-related.
Thus, it must be personal...
Mr. Lin knew her mind better than anyone, could it be...?
Thinking up to this point, Lin Chu couldn’t suppress the joy rising in her heart, her delicate features blooming into a radiant smile, even her brows were tinted with happiness.

Lu Family Villa, second-floor study.
Lin Zongjun was drinking tea, exuding a gentle aura, but someone capable of supporting an international company naturally had a sharp and astute core.
An hour ago, in this very study, he had made his demands known.
Trees will wither, people will age; he didn’t know how much longer he’d live, so he wanted to fulfill his daughter’s eighteenth birthday wish.
Even if it meant using the Lin Group as a wager.
He slowly said, "Brother Lu, Xiao Chu is my only daughter, perhaps a bit spoiled at times. If she does anything wrong in the future, I hope you’ll be indulgent and not hold it against her."
Lu Zhengmao was of a completely different type from Lin Zongjun.
Having been in the military, even sitting silently on the sofa, he carried an invisible aura of authority and severity.
A drop of grace should be repaid by a spring.
Moreover, it was in the four-figure realm of funding.
If it weren’t for Lin Zongjun’s timely assistance, the mistakes he had made would’ve brought unimaginable consequences to the entire Lu Family.
Huai’an had just taken on the role of executive president...
No other choice, only Weiwei could be wronged.
Lu Zhengmao’s dark eyes narrowed, concealing all the gloom.
When he looked up again, there was no discernible emotion left, his voice deep and powerful, "Brother Lin, rest assured, Xiao Chu and our Huai’an have known each other since they were kids, childhood sweethearts, there’s certainly a foundation of feelings. It’s just that Huai’an is naturally aloof and not good at expressing himself; he’s the same towards everyone. If he dares to bully Xiao Chu, I definitely won’t show favoritism, and leave him to your reprimand."
Before the Lin Family moved, the two families were neighbors.
Lin Chu was lively by nature, liked sticking close to Lu Huai’an, and the people of the Lu Family could almost say they watched Lin Chu grow up.
They knew each other well, and since the marriage was settled, there was no need to say more about other things.
Lin Zongjun smiled, "Then I’ll entrust my daughter to Huai’an."

Lin Chu’s driving skills were definitely something to show off, thanks to little ruffian Jiang Muzhou.
From the restaurant where she met the rich second generation to the Lu Family, it would normally take ninety minutes, but she made it in an hour.
It wasn’t even dark yet, with half the sky still a fiery red.
The atmosphere at the Lu Family was odd.
She sensed it as soon as a servant opened the door for her.
As she entered the living room, two dark and fierce gazes swept towards her, emitting a chilling aura as if they couldn’t wait to tear her apart.
It was Lu Huai’an.
Lin Chu, caught in that intense gaze, saw her cheerful smile freeze, her hand gripping the handbag strap tightening unconsciously.
In the exchange of looks, she saw detestation in those harsh eyes.
Undisguised detestation.
Beside him sat Shen Weiyi, who just that morning at An University had looked all cheerful, but now was pale, as if experiencing something heartbreakingly painful.
Lin Chu asked quietly, "Aunt Song, my dad asked me to come over; where is he?"
"In the study upstairs," Song Jingyuan’s voice was as gentle as always, though the smile on her face was somewhat strained, "Xiao Chu, you sit first, they should be done talking soon."
"I won’t agree to this."
The speaker was Lu Huai’an.
At this moment, the study door upstairs opened, footsteps could be heard.
Lu Huai’an pulled the despondent Shen Weiyi from the sofa and walked up to Lin Chu. His voice was cold, sinister, devoid of any warmth.
"Lin Chu, even if I took the most potent aphrodisiac, I still wouldn’t spare you a glance if you stood naked before me, so dispel any notion that I will marry you."
