Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 769 - 302. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] The person in front of you is the one in your heart (1)
Gu Shaozhi received his master’s degree from the Columbia University School of Economics and Management and officially returned to the country.
The day before Lin Chu and Lu Huai’an’s wedding, he blocked Lin Chu outside a bridal shop.
In a bustling commercial district, the streets are usually not too wide, with a lot of foot traffic and generally no vehicles allowed, but Gu Shaozhi was unique.
The newly crowned noble of An City, having just taken over the Gu Entertainment Company, hadn’t yet shown his full potential but had already made a name for himself in the cutthroat business world. For the past few days, every financial news report Lin Chu read was about him.
If he insisted on driving his car here, probably no one would dare stop him.
The car stood arrogantly in the middle of the road.
In early September, the weather was still hot, especially at sunset, after the earth had been baked by the sun all day, making even breathing feel like scorching.
Yet Gu Shaozhi carried a crisp, refreshing aura.
A well-tailored white shirt, suit pants without a hint of extra crease, and black leather shoes without a speck of dust. He half leaned against the hood of the car, his long legs crossed, left toe lightly touching the ground, appearing casual yet possessing an indescribable noble aloofness.
Holding a half-burnt cigarette between his fingers, its blue-white smoke slowly passed over the luxury watch and melded into the air.
He looked at Lin Chu with calm, complex eyes.
Even his words carried an enigmatic air, "Lin Chu, I’ve always thought you were a pretty smart girl."
Lin Chu always felt that Gu Shaozhi and Lu Huai’an were two different types of men. He mostly appeared gentle, hiding the darkest and fiercest parts neatly, but now it seemed there wasn’t much difference.
To be friends for over twenty years, deep down, they must be similar.
After nearly two years without meeting, unsurprisingly, he had become more mature.
Lin Chu did not respond to Gu Shaozhi’s words.
Other than Lu Huai’an, no man, no matter how excellent, could catch her eye.
Because the wedding dress designed by Mr. Lin was beautiful, she was in a great mood, her exquisite eyes brimming with a bold, dazzling smile, even more splendid than the sunset that dyed half the sky red.
Shifting her gaze from the roadblock to Wanxia, who accompanied her to try on wedding dresses, she said, "I think I left my phone in the shop. Wanwan, could you help me go back and get it?"
Wanxia merely gave Gu Shaozhi a bland look.
The man was obviously here to trouble Lin Chu, and it wasn’t surprising that he treated her as nonexistent, as she wasn’t interested in Lu Huai’an’s friends anyway.
After all... birds of a feather flock together.
"Okay," Wanxia replied blandly, before turning and heading back into the bridal shop. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The place bustling with people was obviously not suitable for the upcoming topic.
Therefore, as Gu Shaozhi rounded the car and got in, Lin Chu nonchalantly shrugged, walked to the car, opened the passenger door, and got in.
Leaning against the car seat, Lin Chu stretched lazily; after all, trying on wedding dresses wasn’t an easy task.
"Aren’t we allies, Gu Shaozhi?"
Appearing relaxed, her tone was light.
"I successfully became Mrs. Lu, and you, the eternal backup, in terms of looks and background, are top-notch among An City’s young masters. Furthermore, Shen Weiyi is practically within your reach. How her future in the entertainment industry unfolds is up to you, so you still stand a great chance of being legitimate. Logically, you should thank me."
Cinderella had now transformed into a beautiful swan, even harder to look away from.
Shen Weiyi was extraordinarily lucky. First, there was Lu Huai’an, then Gu Shaozhi. Everyone knew how many debutantes dreamed of marrying these two men, fervent in their feelings for her. That’s why so many jealous women gossiped behind her back.
Falling for the child bride of a good brother isn’t something unheard of; modern dramas portray this all the time.
Struggling to let go yet unable to cleanly take her away, truly torturous.
Gu Shaozhi took a drag of his cigarette, the white smoke slowly exhaling from his mouth and nose, diffusing before his stern face.
His voice calm and unemotional, he lightly spoke, "Don’t lump me together with you, lowering our intelligence."
Hearing this, Lin Chu burst into laughter.
It seems Lu Huai’an had said the same. Truly a great bromance.
"Alright, let’s just say it’s my petty mindset," Lin Chu laughed indifferently, "I’ve heard these words so much they’ve become calluses in my ears. You don’t need to say more because I won’t listen."
