Chapter 563 The Sobering Fall of the Cannon Fodder Junior Schoolgirl (3)
After exiting the subway station, Mu Zhou noticed that Xu Ran's car was parked nearby.
Upon seeing Mu Zhou, the car lights flashed briefly.
Mu Zhou walked straight over, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
The car's heater made her feel much more relaxed, and she casually remarked:
"I thought you were waiting for me at the door."
Xu Ran glanced at her expression without making a sound.
Her complexion was clear and pale, without makeup, yet she still looked somewhat sickly.
It has a delicate, swaying quality.
He looked away and explained calmly:
"It just so happens to stop here."
Mu Zhou knew that he was probably worried that he still had a fever.
However, since he didn't mention it, Mu Zhou pretended not to know.
The car stopped, and the two went into the clubhouse.
Lin Yumo invited many friends to her birthday party this time.
I have childhood friends, classmates, and current colleagues.
Actually, Lin Yumo and Xu Ran had already broken up, so logically, she shouldn't have invited him anymore.
However, since the two are alumni and have been dating for many years, they have many mutual friends, so avoiding each other would seem deliberate.
Xu Ran, in particular, seemed completely nonchalant, as if this relationship hadn't affected him much.
So Lin Yumo still invited him.
At the door of VIP06, the waiter led the person to the room and then left on his own.
Just as Xu Ran was about to push the door open, Mu Zhou grabbed his arm first, causing him to freeze and look down.
Mu Zhou calmly said:
"We're newlyweds, so it's normal for us to be intimate."
Xu Ran remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
The door was pushed open, and the lively atmosphere inside the private room instantly spilled out.
Someone heard the noise at the door and looked over. When they saw it was Xu, they froze for a moment.
Then more people quieted down.
Lin Yumo, who was surrounded by admirers, also saw Xu Ran.
Today she was wearing a white tulle dress, her long hair was styled in a bun at the back of her head, adorned only with a diamond tiara.
A truly goddess-like outfit.
Seeing Xu, she smiled and walked towards him:
"I thought you weren't coming back. You're late, so you should punish yourself with three drinks."
She seemed to have no ill feelings towards Xu Ran, and they were still as familiar and natural as ever.
She could even playfully joke with him.
Once she got closer, the cabinet was no longer blocking her view, and she could see Mu Zhou's presence.
The smile on his face suddenly froze.
Then, her gaze fell on the two people's hands clasped together.
Another girl leaned closer, looked at Mu Zhou, and couldn't help but ask:
"This is……"
Xu Ran introduced in a calm tone:
"This is my wife, Mu Zhou."
Mu Zhou smiled slightly:
"Hello."
Xu Ran then thoughtfully introduced the people in front of Mu Zhou.
Then Mu Zhou took out a box:
"Yu Mo, happy birthday. This is a birthday gift that Xu Ran and I picked out for you."
Mu Zhou's smile was flawless, showing no sign of anything amiss.
For a moment, Lin Yumo was unsure whether Mu Zhou knew about her past with Xu Ran.
She quickly composed herself and accepted the gift with a smile.
"Thank you, please come in."
Most of the people in the private room knew Xu Ran, and they were all shocked when they heard his introduction of Mu Zhou.
Faced with everyone's curiosity, Xu Ran took Mu Zhou's coat and hung it up while explaining:
We just got our marriage certificate the day before yesterday.
Everyone looked at Mu Zhou and Xu Ran, then at Lin Yumo, and their expressions instantly became subtle.
Although Xu Ran remained indifferent after breaking up with Lin Yumo, it was indeed somewhat unexpected that they got married so quickly.
With deliberate embellishment, the scene became lively again.
After exchanging pleasantries with her other friends, Lin Yumo couldn't help but look towards Xu Ran.
Her expression was somewhat complicated.
When I was with Xu Ran, I did have the idea of using him as a substitute, since the two of us look very similar.
But after spending time with him, she realized that Xu Ran and Jiang Chenbai were completely different.
Jiang Chenbai lived a flamboyant and unrestrained life, disregarding the consequences, and was always so carefree.
They have a direct and passionate personality, and are passionate and decisive in love and hate.
Ke Xuran is reserved and deep, and likes to plan and strategize for everything.
Xu Ran was very kind to Lin Yumo and was able to carefully observe her likes and dislikes.
This is something Jiang Chenbai has never been able to do.
Xu Ran was always considerate and kind; he would always comply with her if she said it was not good.
Like a calm and unmoving companion robot.
Even their feelings for each other were calm and steady, like a gentle stream.
So when Jiang Chenbai came back to find her, her scales immediately tipped in Jiang Chenbai's favor.
It's not just that youthful love is unattainable, but it's also as alluring as the white moonlight.
More importantly, the passion that Jiang Chenbai brought her was something Xu Ran could not provide.
She just didn't expect that Xu Ran would choose to get married so quickly after breaking up with her.
Does he really have no feelings for me at all?
Lin Yumo couldn't help but feel somewhat frustrated and disappointed.
But what bothered her even more was Mu Zhou's appearance.
It's so similar.
The girl who stole all of Jiang Chenbai's love and attention back then has almost the same face as Mu Zhou.
Therefore, Lin Yumo naturally had little affection for Mu Zhou.
However, Xu Ran probably didn't know that girl, so it was likely just an accident.
Lin Yumo comforted herself.
But then she thought of Jiang Chenbai.
After he sees Mu Zhou, will he...?
Lin Yumo shook her head.
No, Jiang Chenbai has already let go of the past.
Before they got together, he even went to Europe to give gifts to her sister's newborn son.
He's moved on.
Lin Yumo comforted herself.
Almost everyone had arrived, except for Lin Yumo's fiancé, Jiang Chenbai.
The two are already engaged, and the wedding date is set for three months from now.
Jiang Chenbai hadn't arrived yet, but his birthday gift had already been delivered through an intermediary.
It is a diamond brooch in the shape of a flower, exquisite, beautiful and luxurious.
The brooch features a large pink diamond in the center, which sparkles brilliantly under the lights of the private room.
Some people recognized it at a glance as the pink diamond worth tens of millions that Jiang Chenbai bought in Boston last month.
The crowd gasped in envy and teased Lin Yumo.
She smiled shyly.
"Chen Bai said he had something to do at his company and would be late. I was quite angry at first, but I really like this brooch, so let's not wait for him and blow out the candles first."
Jiang Chenbai arrived late, after Lin Yumo had blown out the candles and cut the cake.
Jiang Chenbai has a face that can bewitch people.
He looked sharp and handsome in his suit.
He looks like someone who exercises and spends a lot of time outdoors; the muscles in his arms look like they're about to burst out of his suit.
His eyes were narrow and slightly upturned, and his features were delicate. However, beneath his lazy exterior, there seemed to be an imperceptible coldness and meanness.
He did not come alone.
Behind him was another man.
The man was a bit taller than Jiang Chenbai, not as muscular, but not thin either.
He looks lean and strong.
The man had deep-set brow bones, a handsome and three-dimensional profile, and lips with a perfect curve and a blush.
Even her attire was out of place among the men present.
The man was Shen Linshu, a close friend of Jiang Chenbai since childhood.
That's also why Mu Zhou insisted on coming here today.
