Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 749 - 296. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (7)_4
A year ago, Shen Weiyi would tolerate her fiancé spending the night alone in the apartment with Lin Chu, not only because she trusted Lu Huai’an’s character, but also because she genuinely believed Lin Chu was still young, well-bred, and wouldn’t do anything inappropriate.
Lin Chu leaned against the back of the chair, fiddling with her phone in a lazy, leisurely manner.
Ah, the main wife finally can’t bear it any longer, coming to show the ’mistress’ who aims to usurp her position a lesson.
The young girl doesn’t need much embellishment. Even barefaced, her clean little face can overshadow everything around.
Shen Weiyi is three years older than Lin Chu, twenty-two years old, which is also considered the best time in a girl’s life. But she is different from Lin Chu; she is in the entertainment industry and must ensure she looks exquisite and neat from head to toe, even if she steps out just for a stroll.
In front of Lin Chu, who just stepped out after taking a shower and blow-drying her hair, she indeed has the right to say the other person is still a child.
To show her respect for Shen Weiyi, Lin Chu put down her phone, looked up at her, and smiled, "Go ahead and talk. I’ve learned Chinese; I can understand."
Putting everything else aside, Shen Weiyi actually doesn’t dislike Lin Chu.
There was a time in the school restroom when a nosy and envious woman accused Shen Weiyi of using connections to climb up, fabricating a bunch of baseless rules. Lin Chu refuted her on the spot, leaving the other woman speechless.
That day, Shen Weiyi happened to be in the stall of the toilet.
So even though she knew Lin Chu had feelings for Lu Huai’an, she never said anything, but...
"Did you know that Huai’an and I are engaged?"
Lin Chu blinked, "Yes, I know."
This response didn’t surprise Shen Weiyi, "You should know Huai’an well. There’s no need for me to say more about his ambitions and aspirations. Being forced into a marriage will only make him detest you more."
Most men are the dominate ones; even ordinary people wouldn’t want their marriage forced upon them by someone else.
Let alone someone like Lu Huai’an.
Recently, Lin Chu was trying to have a chance encounter with Lu Huai’an and drank coffee for more than two months near the Lu Group, to the point where she felt like vomiting at the sight of coffee. That’s why she didn’t touch the coffee on the table.
Sitting on the chair, not playing with her phone nor fiddling with anything else, she was earnestly listening to Shen Weiyi.
She smiled dryly, seemingly nonchalant, "Lu Huai’an originally didn’t quite like me anyway; whether he dislikes me more or not doesn’t make much difference to me, I don’t care."
Jiang Muzhou was right, committing sin for one day or two makes no substantial difference in the outcome.
Shen Weiyi knew she wasn’t the same type of person as Lin Chu and Ji Wanxia.
She was the daughter of a servant, who used to live life cautiously, without a home or so-called parental love.
But Lin Chu and Ji Wanxia were different, born into wealthy families, carrying a natural-born pride and aloofness.
Therefore, Shen Weiyi thought, a well-off Miss Lin wouldn’t want to be hated by the person she likes.
It seems she was wrong.
Shen Weiyi took a sip of her coffee, her demeanor elegant and composed, slowly stating, "Huai’an doesn’t love you; even if you use family means to keep him by your side, he still wouldn’t love you."
"Love can’t be eaten," Lin Chu gave a snide smile, her lively eyes gleaming brightly, "No matter what ambitions and aspirations Lu Huai’an has, I can help him. Marrying me, aside from the Lu Group, the Lin Family will also be his in the future. And what can you offer him? If you really love him so much, shouldn’t you sacrifice yourself for his career?"
Shen Weiyi’s beautiful face gradually turned pale.
As she left the coffee shop, her appearance was really pitiful in Lin Chu’s eyes.
Is she going to find Lu Huai’an to complain?
The door to the private room was open, and Lin Chu didn’t feel like moving.
She sat in the wicker chair, her smile slowly fading, her head bowed, looking thoughtful.
In fact, she lied. She doesn’t want Lu Huai’an to hate her more, not at all; she even imagines Lu Huai’an liking her.
But what can be done? If she watches Lu Huai’an marry Shen Weiyi helplessly, it would probably break her heart.
Being disliked is better than being like strangers.

Lu Huai’an’s apartment.
The living room was filled with a rich scent of alcohol, mixed with a bit of tobacco. While not unpleasant, it certainly wasn’t pleasant either.
Lu Huai’an was leaning on the sofa, several buttons of his shirt collar undone, revealing his tan chest.
His cold and stern features were expressionless, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, exuding an unfathomable aura. Others couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
One hand held a goblet, with the other resting on his knee, his distinct fingers holding a half-burned cigarette.
He was extremely self-disciplined. Since joining the Lu Group, he hadn’t gotten drunk again, even during necessary social engagements, always maintaining some clarity and rationality.
Over the years, Shen Weiyi had rarely seen him look as he did now—one might say dispirited.
She sat opposite him, only a few steps away, yet it seemed as though the Milky Way stretched between them.
Shen Weiyi broke the silence first, softly asking, "Will you marry Lin Chu?"
Lu Huai’an almost didn’t pause to think, his indifferent voice made hoarse by intoxication, replied, "No, I won’t." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"You will," Shen Weiyi looked at him, her plain features pulling into a bitter smile, repeating, "Huai’an, you will marry Lin Chu."
The say in the Lu family was still in the hands of the old master. This crisis was caused by a mistake in decision-making by Lu Huai’an’s father. Without the Lin Family, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that point, whether he could continue to sit as the CEO of the Lu Group’s office would be uncertain.
She grew up in the Lu family, enjoying everything they provided.
Lin Chu was right; love can’t be eaten.
She was an orphan, having nothing, unable to give him anything useful.
Lu Huai’an said nothing, tilting his head back to drink the dark red liquid in the glass.
Shen Weiyi’s hands, intertwined on her lap, twisted together, her gentle voice somewhat hoarse, "It was me who was overreaching; you never promised me anything, so don’t feel sorry."
Not only did the servants in the Lu family find it strange, but even she couldn’t understand why, ten years ago, after her mother passed away, she, who should have left the Lu family, was kept by Mr. and Mrs. Lu.
And they personally told her, from then on, the Lu family would be her home.
Everyone who knew about this said it was because Mrs. Lu was too kind-hearted, unwilling to send the daughter of a servant who had diligently worked at the Lu family for five or six years to an orphanage.
Even Shen Weiyi herself thought the same.
