Free Web NovelChapter 944: Chapter 351: [Heartbroken Fairy Tale] Pain That Lasts Beyond a Hundred Days (Part 6)
After a year, Jiang Jiang was super happy to see her playmate, Qi Ming, for the first time.
During the competition, the loudest cheer came from her. Even when Qi Ming was receiving the award, she excitedly kissed the medal.
She lavishly raised her thumbs to compliment, "Qi Ming, you’re awesome!"
Qi Ming turned his face away somewhat awkwardly, without saying a word, but his ears turned a bit red.
This was probably Lin Chu’s most physically active day in a long time. A layer of fine sweat formed on her forehead, her exquisite features bright and eye-catching, so beautiful in the sunset that it was hard to look away.
"Thank you Brother Jiang for coming to accompany Qi Ming to the sports event. Without you, I really wouldn’t have found someone to help."
Normally, Jiang Yichen was always in a neat suit and leather shoes, but he especially changed into casual wear to suit today’s occasion.
Compared to the ascetic suit and shirt, his current look had less of a distant feeling and appeared younger.
Standing next to Lin Chu, who was ten years younger than him, they looked perfectly matched from any angle.
Jiang Yichen looked at Lin Chu’s beautiful features and smiled gently, "No need to thank me yet, when Jiang Jiang’s school has similar events, I’ll ask you for help too."
Lin Chu readily agreed, blinking, "Absolutely, I’m really good at these things."
She grew up playing outside, preferring to run and play around outdoors rather than dealing with numbers and reports in an office.
She didn’t really like finance in the first place; the reason she chose this major during the college entrance exams was entirely to follow in Lu Huai’an’s footsteps.
Lu Huai’an...
When those three words appeared in Lin Chu’s mind, her mirth stalled for a moment, but she quickly shook her head, dispersing his image.
Jiang Yichen noticed Lin Chu’s slight daze, and gentlemanly turned his body to shield her from the glaring light, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Chu drew a smile, "No, it’s just that I’ve exhausted too much energy and I’m a bit hungry. Let’s go eat."
As she said this, Jiang Yichen didn’t press further, continuing with her cue, "Then eat more later." freeweɓnovel.cøm
Jiang Jiang hopped happily ahead with Qi Ming, although Qi Ming seemed a bit awkward, it was easy to see the joy of meeting a good friend.
But... there was always a hint of loneliness concealed in his eyes.
Lin Chu always felt someone was watching her, but after scanning around, found nothing, only unfamiliar parents, teachers, and students—no one she knew.
It must be a delusion...
They went to a western restaurant.
The two kids who had been running around all day didn’t need adults to coax them into eating, one was wild, the other refined.
Because Qi Ming couldn’t eat strawberries, the wild Jiang Jiang gave up her favorite strawberry cake and ice cream to accommodate Qi Ming’s taste.
Of course, they could order two portions, but the less you can eat something, the more you desire it. If Jiang Jiang ate it in front of Qi Ming, he’d be envious.
Lin Chu said she was hungry but ate very little, leaning against the chair back, watching the two children play around.
Because she was with Qi Ming, she didn’t drink alcohol, her starry eyes were clear and bright.
When she looked at Jiang Jiang, she naturally thought of Jiang Muzhou.
The last meeting was near An University’s food street, he was drunk and babbled about Qiao An’s name.
That was a long, long time ago.
The beloved Mr. Lin was still alive, and the Jiang Family hadn’t been seized.
After that, upheavals came one after another, and Jiang Muzhou seemed to evaporate from An City, leaving no trace. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Lin Chu asked Jiang Yichen, who was sitting opposite of her, "When did Jiang Muzhou return? He didn’t even bother to reach out to me, it seems all those years of brotherhood were fake."
She deliberately extended her voice, making a thoroughly disappointed and teasing pose.
Jiang Yichen, who had known Lin Chu for many years, understood her well. She wasn’t good at hiding her emotions, and anyone with just a bit of experience could hear the sadness in her words.
"Not sure yet, someone just said they saw him. I came here for this matter, and I’ll let you know as soon as we find him."
Lin Chu didn’t understand the entanglements between Jiang Yichen and Jiang Muzhou, or rather, she didn’t understand Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Muzhou’s personality was very clean, Lin Chu could only use this simple word to describe him.
He seemed utterly unremarkable, blended into various bars and casinos, and hung out anywhere, but he was completely different from those playboy heirs who only knew how to chase women.
