Chapter 573 The Sobering Fall of the Cannon Fodder Junior Schoolgirl (13)
Faced with Jiang Chenbai's relentless pressure, Mu Zhou took a few steps back.
She tried to remain calm and dissuade him:
"Jiang Chenbai, calm down. You can't do this. The only reason you're nice to me is because I look like your sister."
"If I just wanted to find someone who looks like Tongtong, I would have found them long ago. The world is full of wonders, and if I wanted to, I could find ten people who look like Tongtong."
Jiang Chenbai wasn't lying. Someone knew he liked Tongtong, and in order to please him, they specially found someone who looked like Tongtong and put her in his bed.
But he really wasn't interested and simply chased the person away.
But Muzhou is different.
He looked at Mu Zhou, who was retreating step by step in fright, her eyelashes trembling like a startled little rabbit, and a dark flame ignited in his eyes.
He swallowed hard and approached step by step.
"Mu Zhou, if you're with me, I'll definitely do better than Xu Ran."
His tone was like a wolf luring its prey, slowly approaching.
Mu Zhou seized the opportunity and turned to run away.
Just then, a strange noise came from the doorway.
Before they could react, the door to the private room was kicked open with a loud bang.
Mu Zhou froze, looking towards the door. Jiang Chenbai's face also darkened, wondering who dared to ruin his plans.
After the door collapsed, Shen Linshu's tall and slender figure appeared.
He strolled in leisurely.
He casually waved away the debris from the violent kicking of the door, then put his hands back into his pockets.
His breathing was slightly rapid, but his face remained relaxed and composed.
Shen Linshu raised an eyebrow at Jiang Chenbai, a wild sharpness hidden in his eyes:
"Yo, what's going on?"
Upon seeing it was him, Jiang Chenbai swallowed back his anger and patiently said:
"It's nothing, why did you kick the door?"
"You suddenly locked the door, which startled the waiter."
Shen Linshu spoke in a lazy tone, explaining casually.
But the next second, he changed his tone, his cold, sharp eyes staring directly at Jiang Chenbai:
"This is my property."
This is a warning.
He was warned not to cause trouble here.
Jiang Chenbai understood.
He pressed down on his lips, showing some dissatisfaction but unable to refute it.
He was so angry at being blocked by Mu Zhou that he arranged this dinner party, almost forgetting that this was Shen Linshu's territory.
Shen Linshu disliked any negative public opinion arising in his own territory.
Although the two grew up together and appeared to be good brothers to outsiders, Jiang Chenbai was somewhat intimidated by him in private.
Shen Linshu acts too recklessly, making him unpredictable and giving off a strangely eccentric air.
If you offend him, there's no way to defend yourself.
If he were to make it clear now, then he would be destined not to get any more promises from Mu Zhou today.
He glanced at Mu Zhou, who was already hiding behind Shen Linshu, and loosened his collar in annoyance.
But it was still difficult to relieve the frustration in my chest.
Just as I was about to speak, my phone rang.
It was a call from home.
The old man on the other end of the phone sounded unfriendly, so Jiang Chenbai could only respond:
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll go back right away."
He glanced at Mu Zhou silently, then, without further delay, hurried home.
After he left, Shen Linshu looked at Mu Zhou, who was hiding behind him, and his eyes darkened.
"Where's your brain? Don't you know Jiang Chenbai has designs on you? And you still dare to come to the same dinner party with him?"
He frowned, his tone somewhat fierce.
If his assistant hadn't accidentally seen Mu Zhou while dropping someone off, who knows how things would have ended today.
Shen Linshu thought of the sudden jolt of his heart when his assistant called him.
"Mr. Shen, I saw Miss Mu Zhou at the Yixin Hotel. She looked unwell and seemed very nervous and worried."
The assistant then told him the information she had found out along the way.
Shen Linshu immediately guessed what Jiang Chenbai was planning.
He rushed over and ordered someone to keep a close eye on the private room.
When he learned that everyone else in the private room had left and the door was locked, he happened to run to the door.
Before he could even catch his breath, he kicked the door open without thinking.
Only when he saw Mu Zhou still standing there unharmed did his anxious heart finally settle down.
His apparent nonchalance was nothing more than a facade of composure.
Mu Zhou's ingratiating smile only fueled his anger.
Laugh, still laughing.
Do you know what would happen if he hadn't arrived in time?
Can she still laugh?
But Mu Zhou smiled at him so sweetly that his heart fluttered uncontrollably.
I simply couldn't bring myself to say anything more hurtful.
Despite his somewhat fierce tone, Mu Zhou wasn't intimidated this time. She explained to him in a sweet, soft voice:
“I didn’t know he would be there. I wanted to leave, but I never found the opportunity.”
Shen Linshu silently processed his excess emotions and asked her with a cold face:
"Then why not ask for help?"
He suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Mu Zhou to save his contact information.
This was his mistake.
He told Mu Zhou to stay away from Jiang Chenbai, which angered Jiang Chenbai, so he had an obligation to protect her safety.
Just as he was about to take out his phone, he heard Mu Zhou reply to him:
"I asked for help; I contacted Xu Ran."
Shen Linshu paused as he reached for his phone.
Just as she had managed to calm down that dark and malevolent emotion, her words stirred it up again.
A dark glint flashed in his eyes.
The angrier he gets, the calmer his tone becomes.
He even curled the corners of his lips into a half-smile as he looked at Mu Zhou:
"You trust him so much, thinking of him even in such a dangerous moment, hoping he will come to save you?"
Mu Zhou's naive answer:
“He’s my husband. When something like this happens, my first reaction is definitely to call him.”
"Oh? And then, what about the others?"
Mu Zhou's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she still subconsciously explained for him:
"He's probably busy with work; he didn't answer the phone or reply to messages."
"Ah."
Shen Linshu chuckled softly, but his eyes were filled with a cold, mocking glint.
When Mu Zhou looked up, he saw a smile in the corner of his eyes.
It seemed to be mocking her, yet it was also somewhat unsettling.
She quietly stepped back a little, keeping her distance.
"Thank you for today, I'll be going now."
Shen Linshu stopped her.
Mu Zhou looked up blankly, staring at him in confusion.
Shen Linshu was wearing a silver-gray shirt, the high-quality fabric so smooth that it was without a single wrinkle.
His hairstyle seemed unkempt, with a few strands of hair hanging down in front of his forehead.
Those beautiful, mesmerizing eyes seemed to ignite with a hidden fire at that moment.
Shen Linshu's dangerous restraint was about to spiral out of control.
He stared intently at Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou has very beautiful eyes.
The simple innocence in her eyes, and the subtle charm between her brows, paint a picture of the most alluring pure desire.
Such contrast is the best catalyst.
This made him stop deceiving himself.
He swallowed hard, his voice instantly becoming hoarse.
"You think you can just send me away with a thank you?"
Before Mu Zhou could reply, he stepped forward, cupped the back of her neck with his hand, and leaned down to kiss her lips forcefully.
He proactively asked for the gift he most desired as a token of gratitude.
The heat and wetness between his lips made Mu Zhou's eyes widen instantly.
