Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 856 - 328: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Fleeting Shadows (Part 3)_2

Chapter 856: Chapter 328: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Fleeting Shadows (Part 3)_2

In the living room, there are sisters-in-law who rarely meet each other.

Fruits, snacks, expensive beauty tonics...

The atmosphere is pleasant, seemingly chatting casually, but beneath the surface, there’s plenty of scheming.

Song Jingyuan sits among a group of distinguished ladies, resembling a subtly elegant magnolia. She rarely initiates topics and usually responds gently only when addressed.

Shen Weiyi is a star now, considered an unattainable woman by ordinary people.

However, in wealthy families, this is not the case.

Many celebrities strive to marry into wealthy families, but few succeed in the end.

Some things are innate; Lin Chu and Shen Weiyi sitting together, an astute observer can immediately notice the difference.

Lacking something will be manifested in behavior. A true princess doesn’t emphasize her status intentionally; even wearing simple flat shoes feels more fitting than glass slippers.

Three women create a scene, so here in the living room, there are at least three scenes.

Some people are extremely skilled at insinuation. They know well the subtle relationship between Shen Weiyi and Lin Chu, yet they deliberately provoke the topic.

The more Lin Chu is praised, the more awkward it is for Shen Weiyi sitting here.

Especially when Song Jingyuan went to the bathroom, someone directly asked Shen Weiyi if most celebrities rely on unspoken rules to rise in their careers.

Even Lin Chu felt they were too much, but Shen Weiyi didn’t even furrow her brow, as if the words weren’t directed at her.

"Those with ability don’t need unspoken rules. Gu Family is different from other entertainment companies; their talents speak with strength. Those who rise through connections don’t last long, as there are new talents emerging every year."

When Shen Weiyi went to the backyard to get some air, the woman who asked about unspoken rules sneered.

"In previous family gatherings, that child used to sit quietly in the corner, looking so gentle and refined, but now she’s sharp-tongued."

"After all, she has been a young lady for over ten years; she must maintain her demeanor."

"..."

...

People gradually came down from the second-floor study, each leaving with their families, thus the living room became more empty.

In the end, only Lu Huai’an hadn’t come down yet.

Song Jingyuan’s health wasn’t good, and she couldn’t stay up late. "Xiao Chu, we’ll head home first, wait for Huai’an to come down and leave together."

Lin Chu stood up, obediently and softly nodding, "Okay, Dad, Mom, be careful on the road, make sure to tell the driver to drive slowly."

After changing shoes, Mr. and Mrs. Lu took the coat Lin Chu handed over, and Lu Zhengmao carefully dressed his wife.

Before leaving, Lu Zhengmao suddenly remembered and asked, "Where’s Weiwei?"

The distinguished ladies knew Shen Weiyi was in the backyard and had gone home; only Lin Chu saw her leave through the back door and hadn’t returned yet.

This wasn’t the Lin Family, so Lin Chu was a bit reluctant to instruct the servants here.

"She should be in the backyard, I’ll help you call her."

...

The backyard was dimly lit, just enough to make out the path.

Lin Chu went out through the back door and saw Shen Weiyi dressed in white under the sycamore tree, with a man standing beside her.

They didn’t turn around despite the noise of the door opening.

The night was so deep that Lin Chu felt the man’s figure was somewhat familiar, but she wasn’t certain.

As Shen Weiyi approached, Lin Chu spoke to her, "Dad and Mom are waiting for you outside."

Her face showed little emotion, perhaps because she had been standing outside for a while, her hairstyle was a bit disheveled by the wind. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She didn’t even glance at Lin Chu, said faintly, "Thank you."

Shen Weiyi walked past Lin Chu, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she bumped into Lin Chu.

Considering her sour mood, Lin Chu was too lazy to argue with her.

She rubbed her shoulder and turned to head back to the living room when a warm voice sounded from behind.

"Xiao Chu."

It was Lu Mingchuan.

Lin Chu hadn’t really interacted with him before, nor was she familiar enough to recognize his voice from just two words.

It was the gaze falling behind her.

"Huai’an and Grandpa’s conversation won’t end soon, your temperament must be stifled staying in the living room so long; it’s not too cold, you can catch some air before going back."

Lin Chu stood still.

She was still dressed in workplace attire with a blouse and pencil skirt, without a coat it was somewhat cold.

A faint smile surfaced from her delicate features, "Big Brother is trying to test if I overheard anything just now?"
