Chapter 564 The Sobering Fall of the Cannon Fodder Junior Schoolgirl (4)
A chain hung from Shen Linshu's waist, swaying slightly as he walked.
It sways and hooks you.
Unlike the others who were dressed in suits, he wore a loose-fitting shirt and trousers, looking very casual, like a bathrobe.
The shirt collar was slightly open, revealing the clearly defined collarbone.
Her pale skin looked especially alluring under the lights.
He didn't greet anyone, but simply sat down on the sofa, leaning back slightly in an extremely languid posture.
Jiang Chenbai naturally went to comfort his fiancée first.
He then took out two more gifts.
"One is a belated gift, and the other is a birthday gift from Shen Linshu to you."
Lin Yumo gave him a reproachful look:
"You're smart enough to forgive me."
He then smiled at Shen Linshu, who was already seated behind him, and said:
"Thanks."
They looked very familiar with each other.
But in reality, Lin Yumo and Shen Linshu weren't exactly close.
Although they had known each other since childhood, Shen Linshu was aloof and eccentric, and rarely played with them.
Over the years, Jiang Chenbai has been the only person he has a good relationship with.
Moreover, Lin Yumo was actually somewhat afraid of Shen Linshu.
I always felt that there was a cold and dangerous aura about him.
Lin Yumo was both surprised and delighted that he came to celebrate her birthday.
Jiang Chenbai gave out the gift, and seeing that his fiancée wasn't angry, he slightly curled the corners of his lips.
Just as I was about to sit down, I turned my head and saw a familiar profile.
His face froze, and he almost blurted out her name.
But the girl turned her head the next moment, allowing him to see her face.
Although it still looks very similar, it doesn't have the same impact as the previous side view.
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and slowly sat down.
But my gaze involuntarily drifted in that direction.
Who is that girl? How come she looks so much like Tongtong?
He was filled with questions.
The girl looked tired, but her eyes were full of smiles.
She rested her chin on the man's shoulder beside her, tilted her head slightly, and said something.
Like she's acting coquettishly.
Jiang Chenbai frowned.
Only then did he realize that the man next to the girl was Xu Ran.
Lin Yumo's ex-boyfriend, a man who looks somewhat like her.
He didn't mind Lin Yumo playing the stand-in trick, since he didn't really have any feelings for her.
He's going to get married eventually.
There was no possibility between him and Tongtong anymore, and his family was pressuring him to get back together. Lin Yumo had liked him since childhood, and their family backgrounds were similar.
She is a very suitable marriage partner.
He didn't care about her past relationships.
But why is this girl, who looks so much like Tongtong, so close to Xu Ran?
Jiang Chenbai felt a little irritated and couldn't help but drink a glass of wine.
He nudged one of the men on the other side with his toe and gave him a wink without any expression.
The man was also acquainted with Jiang Chenbai and knew about what happened to him back then, so he could naturally tell that Mu Zhou looked like Tongtong.
He also understood Jiang Chenbai's meaning.
He cleared his throat and moved closer to Xu Ran to start a conversation.
Jiang Chenbai straightened up slightly. Although he didn't look at Xu Ran, he listened attentively to every word.
Shen Linshu, who was sitting in the corner, witnessed all of this.
He held the champagne glass casually, glancing at the well-behaved girl sitting there out of the corner of his eye before quickly looking away.
Mu Zhou naturally noticed the gazes sweeping over him.
She remained nestled beside Xu Ran, seemingly listless and weak.
Xu Ran assumed that she was still not fully recovered, so he straightened his back slightly to make her more comfortable.
I couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Because of his selfish desires, Mu Zhou fell ill and had to cooperate with his performance.
For a moment, he wanted to leave.
Some of it is not interesting.
Just then, one of Lin Yumo's childhood friends came over and asked:
"Xu Ran, your marriage was too sudden. I never expected that someone as steady and conventional as you would have a whirlwind marriage."
The man didn't seem to be testing you; he appeared to be genuinely just expressing his feelings.
Xu Ran was a man of few words, and when she heard his sentiments, she simply curled the corners of her lips as a response.
Mu Zhou pressed herself against him again, causing Xu Ran to look down at her.
I thought she might be feeling unwell.
The two were so intimate that they seemed oblivious to everyone else, giving off the vibe of newlyweds.
Lin Yumo pursed her lips.
Xu Ran is indeed a very calm and composed person, so he would never do anything too intimate in front of others.
Holding hands was already the limit. If Mu Zhou had done something like this before, as if she wanted to be attached to him, Xu Ran would probably have righteously and firmly avoided her.
Where can I find someone as affectionate as Mu Zhou?
Lin Yumo was feeling rather upset.
She glanced at Jiang Chenbai again and saw that he was only stunned when he first saw Mu Zhou, and then he was too lazy to look at him again, so he finally felt better.
However, she still found it somewhat displeasing to see Mu Zhou leaning against Xu Ran like a boneless creature.
She lowered her eyes for a moment, put down her wine glass, and walked towards them.
"Mu Zhou, let's exchange contact information. We can hang out together sometime."
Mu Zhou glanced at Xu Ran, and seeing that he didn't object, he took out his phone and added her as a friend.
Lin Yumo glanced at Mu Zhou's WeChat Moments, which were almost entirely filled with landscape photos.
Besides blue skies and white clouds, there are all kinds of flowers and plants.
boring.
She put down her phone, showing little interest, and then said to Xu Ran:
"I never expected that you would get married before me and Shen Bai. To be honest, when I broke up with you, I was really afraid of hurting you. Fortunately, it didn't have any impact on you."
Lin Yumo looked quite guilty, but Xu Ran frowned as he listened.
Lin Yumo raised a glass of wine under his gaze:
"Congratulations on your marriage! I salute you."
He seems very carefree.
Xu Ran suppressed her discomfort and raised her glass in a gesture of respect.
Seeing Lin Yumo looking at Mu Zhou, he explained:
"She doesn't drink."
He didn't actually know if Mu Zhou drank alcohol, but since she had just recovered from a high fever, she naturally couldn't drink, so he simply refused on her behalf.
Lin Yumo's face stiffened, and her resentment intensified.
She looked at Mu Zhou, her smile growing even brighter:
"Seeing you two so happy makes me truly happy for you. To be honest, when I first heard about Xu Ran's whirlwind marriage, I was worried that I had provoked him into marrying just anyone. But seeing how good your relationship is, I'm relieved."
Upon hearing this, even someone as oblivious as Xu Ran could sense that something was amiss.
If he and Mu Zhou were truly husband and wife, this statement would obviously become a point of contention between them.
Just as he was about to speak, Mu Zhou quietly pinched his arm.
Mu Zhou smiled happily:
"Actually, it can't be called a whirlwind marriage. I'm Xu Ran's junior. We knew each other in school, and I've had a crush on him for many years."
Mu Zhou's words almost made Lin Yumo lose her composure.
You've known each other for a long time?
Did they know each other before they started dating?
Not only did everyone else prick up their ears to gossip, but even Shen Linshu, who seemed indifferent in the corner, raised his eyes.
He raised an eyebrow, glancing at Mu Zhou's innocent and harmless fair face.
A moment later, he gave a wicked smirk.
A cunning rabbit.
