Chapter 820: Chapter 319: [Heartbroken Fairy Tale] No Matter How Vast the World, I Can’t Escape You (Part 5)_2

Lin Chu didn’t rush to leave, she nudged Jiang Muzhou beside her with her elbow, "Zhouzhou, you go first, I have something to say to Mr. Gu."

Coming all this way to block her path, it probably wasn’t as simple as just having tea.

Jiang Muzhou had a cigarette at the corner of his mouth, unlit, just indulging in the habit.

Squinting, he glanced at Gu Shaozhi, ten meters away, and curiously asked, "Since when did you get so familiar with him, how come I don’t know?"

And there’s something to talk about...

What kind of conversation needs to exclude him?

"There are plenty of things you don’t know," Lin Chu shrugged off Jiang Muzhou’s arm looped around her neck, reminding him for the Nth time, "I’ve told you not to casually lean on my shoulder, will you appease Lu Huai’an’s silent jealousy?"

Jiang Muzhou, thrown off balance, almost stumbled, but steadied himself and let out a disdainful sneer.

He strode back to the car without looking back.

After Jiang Muzhou left, Lin Chu walked toward where Gu Shaozhi was, giving him a half-smile, "What is it? Here to persuade me to leave Lu Huai’an again?"

Whether Lu Huai’an was curved or straight, she knew better than anyone.

Even if they were good brothers, was it necessary for him to worry so much over someone not involved with him?

Gu Shaozhi obviously caught the sarcasm in Lin Chu’s words, but he needed a favor today...

So he didn’t mind, opened the passenger car door, and said to Lin Chu, "It’s inconvenient to talk here, let’s find a quieter place."

There were too many silly girls around, and with the constant coming and going at the school gate, it was indeed noisy and unsuitable.

Lin Chu didn’t mind and got in the car.

Gu Shaozhi didn’t drive very far and stopped near a café, where a corner by the window seemed quiet, perfect for a chat.

After the waiter served the coffee, Lin Chu finally spoke, "Just say what you have to say, but I may not listen."

Gu Shaozhi sat across from her, his defined facial features displaying a gentle demeanor. His long legs were crossed, fingers playing absently with the car key.

"I want to ask you about someone."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chu burst into laughter, deliberately putting on a surprised face, "Is there someone in An City you can’t find? Then you shouldn’t ask me, a nobody like me definitely wouldn’t know."

That the esteemed Mr. Gu from An City had come to her to inquire about someone was indeed surprising.

Gu Shaozhi looked at her annoying demeanor with no expression, showing little emotional fluctuation, his voice calm, "I won’t beat around the bush. Just tell me what you know, and I’ll owe you one. If you ever need anything and I happen to be able to help, whatever it is, you can just ask me."

Lin Chu seriously considered it.

Hmm, it’s a good deal, feasible.

She elegantly sipped her coffee, then leaned back against the chair, displaying a posture of listening intently, "Tut-tut, I’m curious who could be important enough to make Mr. Gu dangle such an enticing bait."

Gu Shaozhi lightly tapped the table, his voice steady and unperturbed as he spoke three words, "Ji Wanxia."

In these months, he had been continuously having the same dream.

A girl in a red dress walked toward him through the snowy white fields, her skirt fluttering lightly. The lighting was dim, but he could still see the pearl on her ankle swaying with her steps.

A kind of lively beauty.

She walked slowly, each step seeming to tread on his heart.

On the long gravel path, she finally stood before him. In the dim light, her gentle and beautiful cheeks were tear-streaked, her eyes filled with stars as if covered in a layer of mist.

Her voice choked, almost inaudible, "Why... why won’t you marry me?"

An illusory dream, yet it left him unable to sleep well night after night.

He had searched for months without seeing a trace of her.

Maybe he had seen a ghost.

When Lin Chu heard Gu Shaozhi mention the name ’Ji Wanxia,’ an interest started brewing in her eyes.

Sure enough, there was something fishy about that night.

Bored, she fiddled with her long hair and answered absentmindedly, "Oh, you mean Ji Wanxia, she went abroad before the New Year and probably won’t return anytime soon." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Abroad...

Gu Shaozhi’s motion of twirling the car key paused.

He looked up, giving Lin Chu a cool gaze across the table.

The look conveyed doubt, but Lin Chu smiled indifferently, "Don’t believe me? An City is only so big, you can easily find the location of the Ji Family Villa with a bit of inquiry. Our Wanwan isn’t someone with supernatural abilities, if she were still in An City, would you not be able to find her?"
