The Lu Family Villa is not in the city, it’s about forty minutes away from Jin Jue. Lin Chu, feeling bored, started playing on her phone.
She suddenly rembered sothing, put her phone back into her bag, turned her head towards Jiang Muzhou next to her, and tentatively asked, "Hey, Zhouzhou, do you know Jiang Yichen is back in the country?"
In front of Jiang Muzhou, she didn’t dare to say that Jiang Yichen is his brother.
Jiang Muzhou, who was driving, was humming a flirtatious song, but after hearing Lin Chu’s words, his enthusiasm vanished instantly.
His handso features turned cold, and he responded with a flat syllable, "Mm."
Even Lin Chu knew Jiang Yichen was back in the country. The people in the Jiang family are so well-inford, they must have known long before she did.
So, what she asked just now was pointless.
She pursed her lips and said softly, "Let tell you sothing, please don’t get angry."
There are no secrets between her and Jiang Muzhou. Even during her first period, he was the one who sneaked sanitary pads into the won’s restroom to save her.
"I forgot the specific day, but not long ago, I saw Qiao An in Jiang Yichen’s car, and I don’t know... ah!"
Lin Chu’s words were only half said before the car, which had been driving smoothly on the road, suddenly stopped. Jiang Muzhou had abruptly slamd on the brakes, and the sound of the tires scraping against the cent was extrely harsh.
Lin Chu’s body was thrown forward by inertia, her head hit the window, and then she was pulled back to her seat by the seatbelt.
Initially, she wanted to curse, but after turning her head and seeing Jiang Muzhou entirely transford, she swallowed her words.
The knuckles of his hands gripping the steering wheel showed a faint white, the veins on the back of his hands protruded, and the angular lines of his face carried a frozen coldness, enveloping him in a bone-chilling aura.
It was the first ti Lin Chu had seen Jiang Muzhou exude such a murderous aura.
The Jiang family, no matter what guise they wore usually, always had a violent lineage deep down.
"I didn’t say there was sothing going on between them, don’t be so worked up, it’s quite scary."
Knowing full well that anything related to Qiao An would always make Jiang Muzhou go to extres, let alone a vague affair with his half-brother, he would be enraged.
Lin Chu wished she could bite her own tongue off.
Of all the tis to bring this up, why now when she’s not thinking clearly!
After the initial burst of anger, Jiang Muzhou turned off the engine, rested his forehead on the steering wheel, his increasingly mature handso face showing faint frustration, as if the re act of hitting the brakes had drained all his energy.
His hoarse voice carried a self-deprecating chuckle, "You’re not the only one who saw it. A couple of days ago, soone told that Superstar Qiao latched onto a hidden Wall Street tycoon."
No one is more disgusting than that woman, Qiao An!
Picking on is fine, she’s obviously blind, but why, out of everyone, does it have to be Jiang Yichen?
Damn it!
Honestly, seeing Jiang Muzhou in this state gave Lin Chu a slight pang of sorrow. Everyone has wounds that others can’t understand, no matter how indifferent they act on the surface, sprinkle a little salt, and they’ll fall apart.
Lin Chu quietly sat in the passenger seat without speaking. After waiting for about ten minutes, Jiang Muzhou was still smoking, showing no intention to start driving.
"Are we still going to Jin Jue?"
"Of course, we are. I just need a place to vent, and I’ve been fed up with that bastard Gao Jian for a long ti. If he dares to lay a finger on my friends, he’ll need a lesson to rember his own surna."
Jiang Muzhou stuck a cigarette in his mouth and started the car.
The flashy sports car zood off quickly.
Lin Chu was startled by the speed and anxiously clutched her seatbelt, glancing sideways several tis to make sure Jiang Muzhou hadn’t been driven insane by Qiao An’s provocation.
"Zhouzhou, you don’t know how dashing you just looked. If Wanwan knew, she’d definitely be moved. Go chase her, I won’t get in the way anymore."
Jiang Muzhou glanced at her with a smirk, although he was disdainful of this sarcasm, at least it wasn’t unpleasant to hear.
"That’s what you said," he tossed a flirtatious wink her way, "If you keep delaying from pursuing my goddess, I’ll spill the beans about how you snagged Lu Huai’an."
Lin Chu’s forced smile instantly froze on her face.
————
Sure enough, a loose tongue brings retribution.
Maybe because Jiang Muzhou had taken those deep, brooding monts on the roadside, by the ti they arrived at Jin Jue, Gao Jian and his cronies had already left.
Jiang Muzhou hooked an arm around Lin Chu, who was about to leave with a sullen face, "We’re all acquaintances here anyway, you’re here, let’s hang out, I’ll take you back afterward."
