Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 746 - 296. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (7)
Every word spoken by Lu Huai’an seemed to resonate, whether it was Lin Chu standing in the living room, Song Jingyuan sitting on the sofa, Lin Zongjun and Lu Zhengmao just coming out of the study on the second floor, or even the servants in the house, all could hear it clearly.
"Huai’an, how could you say something like that!"
Along with Song Jingyuan’s displeased reprimand was the loud ’bang’ of Lu Huai’an dragging Shen Weiyi away and slamming the door.
Mrs. Lu was naturally gentle and mild, even her scolding had little aggression.
Lin Chu staggered two steps before steadying himself, a faint scent of tobacco lingered around his nose, and Lu Huai’an’s words seemed to still echo in the living room.
[Lin Chu, even if I took the most potent aphrodisiac, and you stood naked in front of me, I wouldn’t spare you a glance. So, stop harboring the thought that I’d marry you.]
It echoed repeatedly in his mind.
The expression with which he spoke those words, biting his teeth, his gaze cold and without a hint of warmth, and the harshly extreme words, Lin Chu remembered them clearly.
Including where he paused for a moment, where his voice grew even colder to emphasize.
Lu Huai’an, I have not seen you for three months, knowing you were busy, knowing Lu Family is a mess, so I didn’t even send you a message, fearing I’d disturb you.
Do you know how much I want to see you?
Do you know how many cups of coffee I’ve had at that café near the Lu Group building?
Do you know how many times I’ve dreamt of you?
Do you know how much effort it took her to persuade Dad to help Lu Family through the crisis?
You don’t know, but it’s okay, I didn’t intend for you to know, but... how could you speak to me like that?
My heart is flesh too, it can hurt.
...
The servants working at Lu Family, even the least had stayed five or six years, almost all knew Shen Weiyi’s unique status, even if shocked and stunned, their training disallowed them from whispering.
After placing the brewed tea on the coffee table, they retreated to the kitchen.
Lin Chu stood pale in the middle of the living room, eyes vacant, motionless.
Song Jingyuan stood up and walked over, holding Lin Chu’s hand, in the scorching summer day, the girl’s hand was cold enough to startle her.
With a hint of pity in her eyes, "Xiao Chu, Huai’an just can’t accept it for a while, don’t mind, I’ll call him back to apologize to you later." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
She liked Lin Chu a lot but never thought of becoming her daughter-in-law one day.
Lu Huai’an is her biological son, whom she carried for ten months, she knew his character best. The proposal was too sudden, marriage is not child’s play, let alone a marriage founded on company interests, from any angle, his strong reaction was understandable.
Life is full of helplessness, like money.
Some view money as dirt, but without money, one can’t move an inch.
Seeing Song Jingyuan’s slightly awkward expression, Lin Chu wanted to smile and tell her she was fine but couldn’t manage a smile.
Her lips moved slightly, struggling to find her voice, "I—I don’t mind, Aunt Song, I feel a bit suffocated here, I’ll go outside to wait for Dad."
After speaking, without waiting for Song Jingyuan’s response, Lin Chu brushed off the hand resting on her back.
Because both legs were already stiff and numb, her walking was somewhat strange, seemingly unwilling to stay here a second longer, she didn’t even change her shoes.
Just set her slippers aside, took her shoes, and walked barefoot out of the Lu Family door.
...
Second floor, outside the study.
After the sound of the door slamming, Lu Zhengmao’s calm, stern face darkened, but he maintained the necessary politeness in front of Lin Zongjun, "Brother Lin, the kids are ignorant, it’s my poor upbringing, please don’t take it to heart."
Those harsh and unbearable words, Lin Zongjun heard them clearly, he coldly laughed, "Huai’an is twenty-four this year, those words shouldn’t come from his mouth."
The reason for proposing this marriage was he thought there was some feeling between Lu Huai’an and Xiao Chu, even if not love, at least some fondness.
Apparently, that’s not the case.
Lu Zhengmao wasn’t dealing with Lin Zongjun for the first time, decades of acquaintance gave some understanding of the other’s nature, mild doesn’t equate lack of presence.
The company could still operate normally, credit to Lin Chu’s help and support, rarely is it justified to use others’ money and then utter such disgraceful words as to humiliate.
