Chapter 28 Consequences

"Brother Yanzhou, can you help me out?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Yanzhou's eyes. He twisted the bottle cap open with his slender fingers and handed it to her.

Her voice was gentle: "Drink it."

Lin Wei naturally accepted it.

When she was little, she was used to Yan Zhou helping her open the tap when she couldn't.

At that moment, she subconsciously thought of him.

Gu Jingcheng clenched his back teeth so hard his temples throbbed.

He was sitting right next to her, and when she opened the bottle cap, she didn't look for him, but instead looked for Shi Yanzhou.

Could it be that he is not as strong as Shi Yanzhou?

However, he wasn't as good as Shi Yanzhou; he was quite a strong and capable man.

It was filled with a bubbly sound.

Gu Jingcheng suddenly leaned down and whispered in her ear, almost touching her earlobe.

He whispered, "Mr. Lin, I'm also very good at unscrewing bottle caps."

Warm breath brushed against Lin Wei's earlobe.

Lin Wei shuddered, straightened her back, and was enveloped by his aura.

My heart was pounding, and my ears were burning.

“.......

Not knowing how to reply, she leaned back in her chair, pretending not to hear.

A beam of light suddenly shone on Lin Wei's face, and Shi Yanzhou was also enveloped by the light.

Her and Shi Yanzhou's faces were instantly projected onto the concert's big screen.

The man was gentle and refined, while the woman was aloof and indifferent.

This strikingly contrasting scene instantly ignited the entire audience.

Screams echoed throughout the venue.

"Give me a kiss, give me a kiss, give me a kiss..."

Lin Wei's body stiffened abruptly, and she clenched her fists.

She knew that some celebrities included "kissing moments" in their concerts.

It happens when the camera randomly captures audience members and projects their images onto a large screen.

Audience members who are photographed often kiss in unison, eliciting cheers from the crowd.

But she and Shi Yanzhou were not a couple.

As time ticked by, the jeers and shouts from the crowd grew louder and louder.

"slight."

Shi Yanzhou spoke in a deep voice, his eyes almost overflowing with deep affection.

Lin Wei's eyes were filled with nothing but shock.

She seemed to have discerned that meaning in Shi Yanzhou's eyes?

"No...no, Brother Yanzhou."

Lin Wei withdrew her hand, instinctively refusing.

She and Shi Yanzhou grew up together, and she treated him like an older brother.

She must have seen it wrong.

"ah!"

The scene erupted in uproar.

Gu Jingcheng took off his suit jacket and covered Lin Wei completely with it.

His eyes were cold and deep, sending chills down one's spine.

"What's going on? Which of them is the boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"This is just too ridiculous. I feel sorry for the photographer."

"Isn't that President Gu from Jingcheng Group?"

"It really is him! That girl looks familiar too; that area seems to be the VIP couples' section."

"My God, two men fighting over one woman, this is more exciting than a concert!"

Whispers filled the audience, interspersed with the flashes of cell phone cameras.

"Leave here immediately."

Gu Jingcheng's voice carried a hint of urgency that he himself was unaware of.

If Lin Wei trends on social media because of this, it will have a significant impact on her.

His company and she have a client-vendor relationship.

Society is far more tolerant of men than of women.

In a sex scandal, a woman would be criticized for being immoral.

Men, on the other hand, can be mentioned in passing, and may even be praised for their good fortune with women.

Gu Jingcheng shielded Lin Wei under his oversized suit jacket.

Through the thin shirt, Lin Wei could feel his heartbeat emanating from his chest.

His palm rested on her slender waist, the heat emanating from it.

Lin Wei's heart was pounding. She tried to break free, but he held her even tighter.

He half-embraced and half-carried me as we walked.

"Brother Yanzhou, he..."

"Never mind him, let's get out of here first."

Gu Jingcheng's voice carried a hint of displeasure, and he quickened his pace.

Stupid woman, if she had left any later, she would have been trending on social media.

Even at this moment, she was still thinking about Shi Yanzhou.

Shi Yanzhou stood frozen in place, a sour feeling spreading throughout his body.

Gu Jingcheng wrapped Lin Wei up and took her away, his movements extremely natural.

Lin Wei did not resist; she even leaned against him.

He clearly heard her whisper, "No, Brother Yanzhou."

She rejected him, but obediently let Gu Jingcheng take her away.

Shi Yanzhou's eyes gradually darkened.

His face was pale.

Whispers around

"So she's Gu Jingcheng's woman?"

"Who was that handsome guy just now? Poor guy, he was left standing there..."

He clenched his fist tightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.

Ultimately, they chose to leave through the VIP entrance.

He lost, and lost completely.

Simply because the other party is Gu Jingcheng.

The black Rolls-Royce sped away from the stadium.

The interior of the car was spacious and quiet, with only the faint sound of the air conditioning running.

Lin Wei understood why Gu Jingcheng wanted to take her away.

She was once engaged to Gu Xuan and was nominally his former nephew's wife.

Moreover, she has such a bad reputation in Jiangcheng.

Everyone says she's love-struck and a clingy girl; what if it gets exposed that she went to a concert with him?

How could someone as noble as him be tainted?

That's why he was so anxious...

"Thank you, just take me to the nearest subway station."

His tone was full of distance and politeness.

Gu Jingcheng paused for a moment, his gaze darkening.

Taking her away just now seemed to be subconscious, without any thought.

Is she blaming him for acting on his own initiative?

Or is it his fault for ruining the atmosphere between her and Shi Yanzhou?

Gu Jingcheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and a bitter feeling welled up inside him.

"Okay, get off up ahead."

_______

the next day

Gu Jingcheng and Lin Wei's photos indeed became trending topics.

Lin Wei's identity as Gu Jingcheng's uncle and nephew's wife has been revealed.

Although the trending topics and photos of Gu Xuan and Lin Yan have been blocked.

But the internet has a memory.

In no time, the whole city of Jiangcheng knew about this scandalous affair involving a wealthy family.

There was much discussion.

"The Gu and Lin families have a lot of shocking news. First, there was the story of Gu Xuan cheating on his fiancée with his cousin and having sex with her late at night."

Later, it was reported that "Gu Xuan's uncle, Gu Jingcheng, invited his former nephew's wife to a concert, and they even had VIP couple seats."

That's really fancy!

"Lin Wei just broke off her engagement with Gu Xuan, the young master of the Gu family, and then immediately hooked up with her uncle? That's some serious scheming..."

"I heard that the news about Gu Xuan cheating on Lin Yan is fake news. If you don't believe me, look, you can't find it online."

"So, does that mean Lin Wei was promiscuous and cheated on him?"

Lin Wei sat in her office chair, her face drained of color.

She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, the oppressive emotions in her chest making it hard to breathe.

She went to great lengths to expose the shameful deeds of that adulterous couple to the light of day.

Public opinion has just begun to turn around.

In just two days, everything she had done vanished like a bubble.

Gu Xuan has completely disappeared from this matter; she just shed the label of being love-struck.

She was labeled a cheating woman again.

But it's clear that Gu Xuan was the one who cheated!

Who is suppressing Gu Xuan's trending topics, and why are they targeting her?

Lin Wei's gaze suddenly sharpened; nothing could stop her from taking revenge!

Jingcheng Group

"Mr. Gu, the trending topics about you and Mr. Lin are being suppressed. But... the buzz is very high, I don't know..."

Qiu Cheng hesitated, unable to understand.

Why would Gu Jingcheng go to a concert with Lin Wei?

A sudden whim?

"Continue to suppress them at all costs!"

Gu Jingcheng's eyes were gloomy, and he exuded a chilling aura.

This wouldn't have happened if he hadn't gone to the concert with her.

She shouldn't have to bear the consequences of his mistakes.
