Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 747 - 296. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (7)_2

He stepped down the stairs, following, "Brother Lin is right. Tomorrow I’ll personally bring that unfilial son to apologize, and also for Xiao Chu, I’ll seek justice for her grievances."

Song Jingyuan was still standing in the living room. Seeing the two men come downstairs, she walked over to her husband’s side, gently and graciously echoing them.

"If you two really don’t have any intention of marriage, then my trip here today might have seemed like taking advantage of the situation. If Huai’an doesn’t like Xiao Chu, my Lin Family’s daughter will not shamelessly cling to someone without bottom line."

Lin Zongjun said this and then walked out of the Lu Family Villa.

There was no sense of coercion, nor the high and mighty attitude of a savior, but the stance was very clear.

Lin Chu did not wait for Lin Zongjun outside the Lu Family’s gate. She drove straight out of the neighborhood.

At a red light, she sent her dad a text message saying she had classes at school and would stay in the dorms tonight and not come home.

This was an excuse so flimsy it didn’t need exposing.

Jiang Muzhou called four times, and only when Lin Chu finally got annoyed did she answer, "Jiang Muzhou, where’s your brain? Not answering means I’m busy. I’m driving, can you stop bothering me for a while? I’m so young, haven’t even married. If I die in an accident, will you take care of my dad in his old age?"

She finished the last word right as she hit the brakes.

Her body slumped over the steering wheel, her face buried low, as if she had exhausted all her energy.

On the other end, Jiang Muzhou hadn’t even had the chance to ask her why she didn’t keep her promise and left her best friend pondering life in the restaurant alone before he was hit with a tirade, leaving him dumbfounded.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he asked, "Why are you so angry? Did you eat explosives?"

Lin Chu felt very troubled now, wanting to be alone and quiet, "Is there anything important?"

"It’s nothing major," Jiang Muzhou said, heading out of the bar with his car keys, "Where are you? Send me your location and stay put. If you don’t listen and speed on the roads, and end up dead, I definitely won’t take care of your dad in his old age."

There could only be one reason for her strange behavior.

Even with his toes, he could guess she had been humiliated at Lu Huai’an’s place. Usually, she had a thick skin and didn’t mind being ignored a hundred times, but today her temper was exceptionally bad.

Driving in such a state significantly increased the risk of an accident.

After venting, Lin Chu seemed to calm down. Her fingers, which had been tightly gripping the steering wheel, gradually relaxed.

The light from the surrounding neon signs streamed through the car window, casting a lonely silhouette of her slumped over the wheel.

"Are you planning to marry me because you care so much?"

Jiang Muzhou started the car and chuckled indifferently, "So many pretty and gentle girls flock around me, you think I’d notice you? Bad temper aside, you’re also flat-chested..."

"Jiang Muzhou, go to hell!" Lin Chu, in anger and embarrassment, interrupted him and hit the hang-up button, throwing her phone onto the passenger seat.

In the quiet, one can’t escape.

Lin Chu, her gaze unfocused, watched the flow of traffic. She thought of her eighteenth birthday, her one-sided first kiss, which, truth be told, didn’t even count as a kiss.

Murmuring to herself, "Lin Chu, what are you sad about?"

Is it what Lu Huai’an said to you, or his icy indifference when he looked at you, or because... when he left with Shen Weiyi without looking back...

It took Jiang Muzhou an hour to find Lin Chu.

Anyone who knew Lin Chu knew she had been afraid of water since the age of ten, avoiding swimming pools even in the hottest summers.

Yet here Jiang Muzhou was, having driven to the seaside.

Lin Chu pushed open the car door, not even seeing the ocean, just a patch of darkness, only the sound of the waves. She turned back towards the car, "Jiang Muzhou, are you crazy?!"

Knowing what she feared, he still brought her here.

Quickly, Jiang Muzhou grabbed her wrist, pulling her back, "Not letting you go down there, you’re just standing here, no one’s pushing you, what are you afraid of?"

Speaking, he pressed her shoulders, making her stand facing the sea.

After maybe two minutes, Lin Chu stopped struggling.

Jiang Muzhou released his hold on her shoulders, standing side by side with her, glancing sideways. The person who was outwardly irritable from head to toe had now calmed down.

"Still thinking of dying?"

The sound of waves crashing against the rocks came one after another, a place far removed from the city’s clamor.
