Chapter 121 Let everyone know, you are my Mrs. Gu

The bloodstains on Gu Xuan's body had turned black and congealed.

He had almost no healthy skin on his body.

His clothes were tattered and torn, and the wounds from the whipping were crisscrossed.

Some wounds were so deep that the bone was visible, and dark red blood clung stickily to their bodies.

Every breath tugged at my nerves, sending a sharp pain through me.

Gu Xuan lifted his swollen eyelids and scanned the surrounding environment.

He hadn't expected Gu Jingcheng to act so quickly.

Oh…

The victor is king, the loser is a bandit.

He has nothing to regret about ending up in this situation.

The only thing he regretted was...

Why didn't he go any faster back then!

He was just a hair's breadth away from having Lin Wei.

If he had succeeded sooner, a defiled woman...

If Gu Jingcheng picks it up again, he will feel resentful for the rest of his life.

It was a constant reminder that his woman had already been taken by Gu Xuan.

What a pity... what a pity!

Another wave of intense pain struck, and Gu Xuan convulsed, letting out a painful groan.

But more than the physical pain, the intense resentment was tearing at his heart.

-

Gu Jingcheng put his arm around Lin Wei's soft waist.

The two stood intimately in the middle of the messy basement.

Lin Wei sat down on the leather sofa, crossing her legs.

His gaze fell on Gu Xuan, who was struggling in a pool of blood.

His voice was distant and cold, devoid of any emotion.

"Gu Xuan, have you thought about today?"

Gu Xuan looked up, his eyes bloodshot.

He stared intently at Lin Wei.

Her clothes were neat, and her cheeks had a languid rosy glow.

She looked completely different from the disheveled state she was in after taking traditional Chinese medicine last night.

It was obvious that Gu Jingcheng had already "antidote" her to the drug.

Gu Xuan's pent-up jealousy and hatred erupted.

A low laugh escaped his throat.

This should have been his!

Lin Wei once loved him so much; he was the only one in her heart and eyes.

He was the one who didn't want it first, but even if he didn't want it,

She should be rotting in the mud, why should she be so glamorous and throw herself into Gu Jingcheng's arms?

Are they judging him with the air of a victor?

His life was a journey of crawling out of the mud.

Having finally become the highly anticipated young master of the Gu family,

They had everything they once longed for, only to lose it all in an instant.

...He's a joke. All he wanted was to be loved, to be truly loved just once!

Gu Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes fixed on Lin Wei with a crazed look.

"Lin Wei, I regret it. I was so close to making you mine completely."

He struggled to crawl forward, the chains rattling loudly.

"Gu Jingcheng, you're just picking up my old, discarded shoes."

Does it bother you? If you have the guts, then kill me.

Otherwise, sooner or later, I'll make you pay the price, hahaha…

The bodyguard stepped forward and kicked him in the chest.

Gu Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Jingcheng gently supported Lin Wei's waist, seemingly to comfort her.

Lin Wei took out a small silver USB drive from her handbag.

"Gu Xuan, you're so eager to die? How could I grant your wish?"

Gu Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He struggled to his feet and tried to snatch the USB drive from Lin Wei's hand.

"Give it back to me!"

He was kicked back to his original spot by the bodyguard and curled up in pain.

But he kept his eyes glued to the USB drive.

"Lin Wei! How did she end up here? Where did you get her from?"

That USB drive was something he had collected after enduring countless beatings over the years.

All the evidence that could bring down Zhao Qiluo.

His last trump card.

Without it, he wouldn't even have the slightest chance to turn things around.

Lin Wei's lips curved into a smile.

"This is your beloved Yan'er... who personally handed it to me."

"..."

Gu Xuan froze, as if his soul had been ripped away.

That woman who kept saying she would love him forever and couldn't live without him?

Lin Wei betrayed him, and now, even Yan'er, the last thing he had in his hands...

She betrayed him without hesitation.

"Bitch! That bitch!"

Gu Xuan roared incoherently.

"Liars, you're all liars. You're all ingrates, you all deserve to die!"

Lin Wei coldly watched his final breakdown.

I put the USB drive away, treating it as nothing more than a tedious farce.

This is just the beginning; the contents of the USB drive...

That's enough to send this mother and son plummeting from heaven to hell.

Her great revenge is about to be fulfilled.

-

It was already 10:30 when I came out of the basement.

Gu Jingcheng held Lin Wei's hand.

A warm sensation came from her palm, making her feel as if she had found a place to lean on.

Lin Wei watched Gu Jingcheng's retreating figure and no longer hesitated.

She quickened her pace and walked beside him.

I placed the silver USB drive in his hand.

"Gu Jingcheng, this is for you."

Gu Jingcheng didn't stop walking; he turned his head to look at her.

"Here, there is a chain of evidence proving your sister-in-law embezzled funds from the Gu Group, and..."

Lin Wei's fingers tightened, wondering if the truth that was about to unfold would be too cruel for Gu Jingcheng.

Gu Xuan was not born to his elder brother, but was an orphan from the Jiangcheng Orphanage.

"And...an adoption agreement."

"Gu Xuan is an orphan adopted by Zhao Qiluo from the Jiangcheng Orphanage."

Gu Jingcheng stopped in his tracks.

His deep gaze fell on Lin Wei's face.

The light from the corridor wall lamps flickered in his eyes.

He had long known that Zhao Qiluo had shady dealings within the company.

But he originally thought that Gu Xuan was at most Zhao Qiluo's illegitimate son with someone else.

But they never imagined that even this blood relationship was fake.

The child Zhao Qiluo used to fight for power and profit.

They are just puppets.

After a long silence, Gu Jingcheng spoke.

"Weiwei, give this to me... Don't worry, I'll do it for my brother's sake..."

"For the sake of the Gu family's reputation, should we... suppress these matters?"

Lin Wei met his gaze, but felt surprisingly calm.

After this kidnapping, she clearly understood her own heart and her love for Gu Jingcheng.

She didn't want to live in secrecy and speculation anymore.

But the matter of revenge stood between them like a thorn.

Things always need to be resolved; avoidance is not the solution.

She has the courage to face her feelings and the courage to face the possible consequences.

If Gu Jingcheng chooses his older brother, she won't blame him.

However, she will seriously consider whether to continue this relationship.

"Gu Jingcheng, this is your older brother's company. I respect your choice."

Gu Jingcheng held Lin Wei tightly in his arms.

He wrapped his arms around her back, locking her close to his chest.

Lin Wei's cheek pressed against his firm chest, through the thin fabric of his shirt.

She could hear his rapid heartbeat, as if it were striking her heart.

He lowered his head, his chin gently resting on the top of her head.

"Weiwei... let's go public after I've sorted this out. Okay?"

I want to give you a grand wedding, so everyone will know.

You are my Mrs. Gu.

Lin Wei trembled slightly in his arms.

She greedily savored the scent of the man's embrace and slowly closed her eyes.

She carried too much burden in this life.

Now, I'm even a little greedy.

She wanted to have Gu Jingcheng's love.

However, she didn't know what the future held.

The difference is that she will no longer run away.

Lin Wei slowly raised her arms and hugged his strong waist.

She buried her face in his chest.
