Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 751 - 297. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] The Beginning of a Dead End (1)_2

She is now nineteen, but according to her ID, she is already twenty and eligible for marriage.

Xu Qiubai put down his chopsticks, stood up, and spoke lightly, "My mom is still unwell, you guys continue eating, I’ll leave first."

Without waiting for others to respond, he pulled out his chair and headed out of the dining room.

The sound of the chair scraping against the wooden floor was harsh.

Everyone could tell Xu Qiubai was in a bad mood, but no one pointed it out, as matters of the heart can’t really be forced.

While Lin Chu was resting her chin in thought, Wanxia stood up, "I’ll go check on Qiu Bai and then head home, I won’t stay longer."

"Alright, take care on the way," Lin Chu nodded absentmindedly, "Jiang Muzhou, why don’t you take Wanwan home?"

Escorting a beautiful girl home was something Jiang Muzhou would certainly enjoy, but before he could agree wholeheartedly, Wanxia declined.

"No need, my brother is passing by after work to pick me up."

Jiang Muzhou watched that stunning figure walk out of the dining hall, heading in Xu Qiubai’s direction, and squinted as he joked with Lin Chu.

"Whether it’s the well-off young men from school or the promising prospects in society, there are so many men chasing after Miss Ji they could circle the playground, why doesn’t she take a liking to any of them? I’ve noticed for a long time, every time Ji Huan comes to pick her up from school, the smile in her eyes is brighter than camellias. Could it be... she has some romantic feelings for Ji Huan? You think..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, nor could he, because Lin Chu fiercely covered his mouth.

"Jiang Muzhou, I’m warning you! Don’t let me hear this from you a second time," Lin Chu said coldly, her tone unpleasant.

After exchanging a glare, Jiang Muzhou brushed Lin Chu’s hand away from his mouth, leaned back on his chair in a carefree manner.

Back to his usual rascal and cheeky demeanor, "Just joking around, why so serious?"

Lin Chu shot him a glare, her eyes full of warning.

With only two people left at the dining table, it inevitably felt a bit quiet.

Lin Chu couldn’t be bothered with Jiang Muzhou’s nonsense, holding her chin with one hand, while the other touched the necklace on her neck. Her delicate features lacked expression, to others, she simply seemed lost in thought from overeating.

Only Jiang Muzhou knew she was battling some thought in her mind.

The necklace around Lin Chu’s neck, she’s worn it for nine years, ever since she suffered selective amnesia.

Because she was playful, she fell into an icy hole and almost lost her life, surrounded by cold, bone-chilling lake water, only his hand was warm.

That day, it was Lu Huai’an who saved Lin Chu, erasing her name from the fatal list.

The pendant on the necklace is a button, small, white, very ordinary.

It was something she discovered she had clenched in her hand after waking from a high fever, which must have been pulled from Lu Huai’an’s clothes.

In winter, she would hide it under her sweater, where no one could see it, but in the summer, when she wore cooler clothes, the necklace around her neck was visible to others at a glance.

Lin Chu had been mocked by friends more than once, saying she could be a fashion icon from head to toe, but that necklace ruined everything. It didn’t matter from a distance, but up close, it was obvious.

She didn’t care and continued to wear it every day; this was the ninth year.

If, if Lu Huai’an hadn’t saved Lin Chu that day, she would have perished in that lake, but aside from Lin Chu, no one knew that the person who saved her was Lu Huai’an.

Because she was taken to the hospital by a passerby who claimed to have saved the Lin family’s only daughter, Lin Zongjun was told that no reward was needed for such an act of bravery.

Lin Zongjun was so grateful, he even visited the person personally.

Only Lin Chu knew, that passerby lied.

"Jiang Muzhou."

Lin Chu called his name.

"What?"

"Do you have it with you?" Lin Chu drank the wine in her glass until not a drop remained and turned to Jiang Muzhou, "Nothing too strong, I worry about side effects on the body."

After all, for someone she was to spend the rest of her life with, she couldn’t bear to ruin things with illness.

Jiang Muzhou took a few seconds to realize what Lin Chu was talking about, and his face showed an exasperated expression, "Who carries that sort of thing around everywhere for no reason, do I look like I have a problem?"

Jiang Muzhou relied on his genuine skills for wooing girls, slipping something and taking someone to bed was not his style.

Lin Chu checked the time on her phone, it was 9:43 PM.
