Chapter 139 It's Time to Repay the Kindness

Lin Group

Lin Wei had just finished a solemn employee meeting,

He formally introduced his younger brother, Lin Yanlin, to the entire company.

Looking at the respectful, even slightly scrutinizing, gazes of the employees below,

And Lin Yanlin beside him, who instantly straightened his back and moved cautiously.

I sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, as soon as the meeting ended, Lin Yanlin's feigned composure vanished.

He slumped onto the sofa in the living area, looking as if his bones had been removed.

"Sis, Dad clearly said before that I could start reporting to the company next Monday, but..."

Why did you suddenly bring me here today?

You didn't see me just now; I didn't even dare to laugh.

The pressure of being the heir to the Lin family business is too much; I can't handle it.

Lin Wei glared at him, annoyed.

Her younger brother is practically a carbon copy of Qin Simiao.

However, the Lin family's resources were not as solid as the Qin family's, and they couldn't afford to squander their wealth.

She had to harden her heart and force her younger brother to grow wings so he could make a living as soon as possible.

"Yanlin, you're not a child anymore. You can't keep playing around like this."

When will I grow up?

"Isn't there still you, sister?"

With my sister around, I can always just lie down and relax.

Can't you just let me be a bystander?

I don't ask for much, just that you give me some pocket money every month on time.

I'll be perfectly content!

Lin Wei frowned, her tone becoming earnest.

"Yanlin, what if one day I'm gone?"

Or what if I can't take care of you anymore? Who will give you pocket money then?

You need to learn to be independent and stand on your own two feet.

Lin Yanlin leaned closer with a grin.

"Oh, I see. Are you married?"

So you're going to be the boss's wife at your brother-in-law's company?

So now they're in a hurry to grab me and use me as a laborer.

"I won't do that! You have to tell me what to do!"

Lin Wei was both amused and exasperated by his peculiar thought process, and waved her hand helplessly.

"Go away, stop talking nonsense and get back to your work."

Let me make this clear from the start: if you play games at the company...

That means I'm out of pocket money this month!

Lin Yanlin stood up hesitantly.

Reluctantly, I moved to the assistant's workstation in the outer office.

This was the "starting point" his sister arranged for him.

Before I could even settle into my seat, I looked up and saw an exceptionally tall man.

She stood right in front of his desk, almost blocking the light from above.

The man wore a well-tailored dark gray suit, which accentuated his broad shoulders and long legs.

Her hair was meticulously combed back, revealing a smooth forehead and deep-set features.

She had obviously dressed up on purpose.

Lin Yanlin raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Tsk, he's not bad looking."

It's even cooler than the SSR card he got by spending real money in the game.

"Hello, I am Chen Jinhuai. I have an appointment with General Manager Lin to discuss project cooperation."

Chen Jinhuai spoke in a low voice, handing over a business card.

Lin Yanlin took it and glanced at it.

It's the investor behind that OEM project that we've recently almost finalized.

After asking a few questions and confirming the appointment,

He then got up and led Chen Jinhuai into the president's office in the inner room.

"Sister, Mr. Chen is here."

Lin Wei looked up from her documents and saw Chen Jinhuai walk in.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Since he rescued her at the seaside villa last time,

He seemed to disappear for a while.

Unexpectedly, the promising OEM project that the company received some time ago...

The boss behind it all was him.

"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time."

Lin Wei stood up and politely extended her hand.

Chen Jinhuai grasped her hand, but the touch was brief.

"President Lin."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two quickly got down to business.

The details of the collaboration were finalized.

After the business was finished,

Chen Jinhuai's gaze swept over Lin Wei's exposed neck.

A faint, ambiguous dark red mark was faintly visible on her fair skin.

Chen Jinhuai's fingertips curled slightly.

He suppressed the surging emotions in his eyes and spoke with a hint of friendly banter.

"It seems Mr. Lin's good fortune is just around the corner?"

Lin Wei raised her eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed.

But remembering that Chen Jinhuai had once saved him, he didn't deliberately hide it.

"Yes, we're already preparing for the wedding. We'll be having the wedding with Jingcheng in a month."

"..."

Chen Jinhuai's smile froze for a moment.

A sour, bitter feeling of jealousy welled up in my chest.

"Congratulations!"

After exchanging a few more polite words, Chen Jinhuai got up to take his leave.

As he got into his car, all the composure on his face shattered.

It was replaced by a gloomy and twisted feeling.

His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white.

What he can't have, Gu Jingcheng shouldn't expect to have easily either.

Chen Jinhuai took a deep breath and dialed a number in the United States.

"Bai Qianqian, it's time for you to repay my kindness..."

-

Gu Xuan sped all the way.

The roar of the engine was like the boiling hatred in his chest.

And the madness of burning one's boats.

He parked his car downstairs at the Jingcheng Group building.

He barged in, and the receptionist and security guards tried to stop him.

But they were intimidated by the reckless, manic energy in his eyes.

They couldn't stop them for a moment.

He rushed straight to the president's private elevator.

Gu Jingcheng was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

I was thinking that I should also find a time to hold my father's birthday banquet.

Although the old man didn't say it, he did enjoy lively gatherings.

Gu Xuan and his mother have now been completely removed from the family hierarchy.

The wedding with Weiwei is also smoothly on the agenda...

He was planning the scale of the birthday banquet and the guest list.

The office door was suddenly kicked open.

Gu Xuan stood at the door with a fierce expression.

His suit was wrinkled, and his face looked haggard.

There was no surprise in Gu Jingcheng's deep eyes.

He turned around and walked back to his office chair to sit down.

"What's up?"

This attitude of completely disregarding him stung Gu Xuan.

He looked at Gu Jingcheng's cold, perfect, yet aloof face.

He acquired everything effortlessly: a prestigious position and a vast business empire.

And there's Lin Wei, whom he longs for but can't have!

Why should Gu Jingcheng get all the sunshine?

Not even a sliver of room for him?

Jealousy and hatred burned through his internal organs.

Gu Xuan took a deep breath and slammed the lawyer's letter and USB drive he was clutching tightly onto the table.

"Uncle, let's... talk."

Qiu Cheng arrived with security guards and stepped forward to try to stop them.

Gu Jingcheng gave everyone a look.

Everyone then left and closed the door.

"Let me be my general manager again, and give me back what's rightfully mine."

"Otherwise, I'll let everyone in Jiangcheng hear that I am that good mother, Ms. Zhao Qiluo."

How did she manage to have a long-term affair with the family's old housekeeper, Chen Qingyun, engaging in sexual relations?

Gu Xuan's face twisted into a gleeful smile, and he lowered his voice.

"That recording was really something... You know, if it were leaked..."

Does the Gu family even care about saving face?

My dad, Gu Yannian, found out from underground.

Won't he be so angry he'll turn on his own ashes and crawl out of his coffin? Hahaha...

"Trying to fight me? You're still a ways off. Those with nothing to lose aren't afraid of those wearing shoes."

I have nothing now, so I might as well go down fighting to the death. You see what I'm capable of!

Gu Jingcheng looked at him quietly.

His deep pupils showed no emotion whatsoever.

He casually placed the adoption agreement on the table.

"Gu Xuan, my older brother is not your father."
