Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 831 - 322: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] The Whale That Became an Island (Part 3)
The people in the private room focused their attention on those three, and the previously noisy and bustling environment suddenly quieted down.
The air was filled with the heavy smell of alcohol and tobacco, but it all seemed to have frozen in place.
Lin Chu actually wasn’t that drunk. She still remembered she was supposed to go back to the Lin Family to have dinner with her father in the evening. Maybe she drank too quickly, so the drunkenness came fast.
The light in the room was dim and blurry, she couldn’t clearly see the man’s features, but she knew who he was.
A tall and slender body stood a few steps away, aloof and noble. Cutting through the chaotic alcohol scent, she seemed able to smell a crisp mint fragrance.
Who else could it be but Lu Huai’an?
She just glanced at him indifferently, then withdrew her gaze without any extra reaction, "Didn’t you say we were going for a drive? What are you still lying down for?"
As soon as Lu Huai’an entered the room, someone with good sense had already turned off the loud music.
Lin Chu’s voice was already pleasant to hear, and with a touch of intoxication, it was softer and more charming than usual.
This time Jiang Muzhou genuinely rolled his eyes.
Is this stubborn girl doing it on purpose, or is she really so drunk she can’t even recognize people?
Lu Huai’an had come all the way to the bar, and she still acted like this... It goes to say, her unusual behavior today is once again because of Lu Huai’an.
Well, at least she improved. Now when someone comes, she doesn’t immediately lose her wits and rush over.
Jiang Muzhou initially intended to slap Lin Chu on the face directly but reconsidered and thought it was inappropriate, so he switched to the hand she still had clamped around his neck, "Ancestor, if you don’t let go, I’ll have to report to King Yama’s Underworld."
Due to the alcohol, the neurotransmitters in Lin Chu’s brain were transmitting extremely slowly.
After Jiang Muzhou exaggeratedly urged her on, it took a long time before the ball of flesh lying on him finally moved away.
Not only was her reaction sluggish, but her hearing wasn’t good either, "Did you say you’re not going?"
Jiang Muzhou, "...."
Lin Chu didn’t dwell too much on the drive issue. After Jiang Muzhou freed himself from her hand, she fumbled around on the sofa for her bag while mumbling incoherently.
"Fine, if we won’t go, we won’t go. I need to go home and have dinner with my dad. Eh? Where’s my car? Jiang Muzhou, where did you put my car?"
Leaning on the sofa, Jiang Muzhou suddenly felt a chill spreading around him, so he decided to play dead.
Lin Chu could still stand up and walk on her own without anyone paying her any heed. She seemed unhappy about it and prepared to leave with her bag.
Staggering a few steps, she was pulled into the man’s strong and lean arms. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Lu Huai’an exuded a chilling aura that made people tremble. After scooping up the helpless Lin Chu, his cold gaze brushed over the indifferent Jiang Muzhou.
He didn’t speak, but the warning was strong.
Jiang Muzhou shrugged, unconcerned.
After Lu Huai’an left with Lin Chu, a roomful of people were left bewildered, gossiping and confused.
Lun Jun nodded politely to them, "Sorry for disturbing everyone. Madam is not feeling well, so Mr. Lu will take her home first. Today’s expenses will be on Mr. Lu’s tab. Enjoy your time."
After finishing, he turned and followed them out.
With the door of the room closed, the icy chill vanished, and those adept at livening up the atmosphere began to get the place buzzing again.
Jiang Muzhou, acting as if nothing had happened, sat down at the poker table.
The atmosphere returned to its lively state, and a group of men and women gathered in the corner to chat about gossip.
"I heard the reason Lu Huai’an married Lin Chu was because the Lu Family was in deep trouble back then. Lin Chu’s dad invested a large sum of money just in time to barely cover the losses. Lin Zongjun not only sent help just when it was needed but also sent his daughter into the Lu Family."
"You don’t say! That might actually be true! Everyone knows that Shen Weiyi in the Lu Family is an adopted daughter with no blood ties. To put it bluntly, she’s practically a child bride. Everyone thought she and Lu Huai’an were a pair, but he ended up marrying Lin Chu."
"It’s a pity for the beautiful Lin, all her deep feelings based on commercial interests. No matter if Shen Weiyi’s suicide is real or not, Lu Huai’an wouldn’t just watch, no wonder Lin’s buying drunk in broad daylight."
"Not necessarily, Lin Chu doesn’t seem like someone who would torment herself over feelings alone."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I have a friend whose father is an executive at Lin’s enterprise. He said there seems to be an issue with Lin’s production chain, something that happened just recently. Nobody knows what’s going on exactly, maybe Lin is troubled because of this."
