Chapter 42 Defying Heaven and Earth

Lin Wei suppressed her anger and regained her usual composure.

"Excuse me, I'm in a bit of a hurry. Could you give me a quote for the repairs?"

Lin Wei just wanted to get home as soon as possible; a mess was waiting for her to clean up.

Chen Jinhuai's gaze lingered on Lin Wei's face for a few seconds, a misty mist settling over his eyes.

He raised an eyebrow and curved his lips into a smile.

"Miss Lin, the fault lies with me. I forced my way in. Let's add each other on WeChat."

I will cover your subsequent car repair costs.

Chen Jinhuai took out his phone and opened WeChat.

A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Wei's eyes, but she quickly recovered.

Does he know her last name?

But Lin Wei didn't delve into it. She took out her phone and scanned the man's WeChat QR code.

Chen Jinhuai's tone was deliberate.

"I don't know this lady's surname, I'll make a note of it."

"Lin Wei."

"My name is Chen Jinhuai."

The man reached out his hand.

Lin Wei gently squeezed it for a moment, then quickly let go.

A long line of cars behind them honked impatiently.

Lin Wei raised her eyes, her gaze indifferent and aloof.

"Mr. Chen, the matter is resolved. Please move the car first, I'm in a hurry."

The pink Bentley has been relaunched.

Lin Wei's expression turned serious.

The name Chen Jinhuai kept echoing in her mind.

Everything happened by perfect coincidence.

A tailor-made bidding project with a project budget twice the market price.

Through two unexpected encounters, he learned her surname.

But he pretended not to know and asked her name again.

A woman's intuition caused the seed of doubt in Lin Wei's heart to sprout once again.

It's impossible for such a coincidence to happen.

Just now, the black Rolls-Royce followed her all the way.

They changed lanes and cut off other vehicles only when they saw the right opportunity.

So, what is his purpose...?

Lin Wei returned home.

Xie Shuanghua was already sitting on the sofa with a mean expression.

Accompanying them was the weeping Chen Dan.

Lin Wei coldly glanced at the people on the sofa.

When it came to saving her father, her cousin, whom her uncle had always called a filial son, didn't show up.

Ha, how ironic.

"Lin Wei! You're finally back! You still remember this family?"

"You knew I was your grandma? I've been waiting for you all afternoon!"

When Xie Shuanghua saw Lin Wei come in, she pointed at her nose and scolded her, acting like an elder.

"Do you even respect your elders? Don't you know any manners?"

Lin Wei sat down on the sofa expressionlessly.

She crossed her legs gracefully, picked up the hot tea served by the maid, and gently blew on it.

"Did Grandma need something?"

Xie Shuanghua slammed her hand on the coffee table in anger.

"You sent your uncle to the police station!"

Wow, you're really something! That's your own uncle!

How dare you call the police to arrest him?

Go and drop the case right now! Bring your uncle back!

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Shen Dan threw herself at Lin Wei's feet and cried and wailed.

"Weiwei, please, Auntie begs you! We're all family."

Why can't we talk about this behind closed doors? Why do we have to take it all the way to the police station?

Waaaaah…

Lin Wei stood up, looking down at the person on the sofa, exuding a powerful aura.

"Grandma, I called the police because he's extorting money from me!"

What rule in the Lin family is above the law?

Xie Shuanghua was so angry that she trembled all over.

"He's your uncle! An elder! Even if he made a mistake for a moment..."

You can't be so heartless! What is five million to you?

Your company is so big, a little leak through the cracks in your fingers is enough! Hurry up and drop the case!

Otherwise... otherwise I'll pretend I don't have a granddaughter like you!

"Oh,"

Her sharp eyes swept over Xie Shuanghua's hypocritical face.

His expression was casual and languid, and his thin lips were slightly parted.

"Then just pretend you don't have a granddaughter like me."

Xie Shuanghua's face turned ashen as she pointed her finger at Lin Wei's nose.

"You...you unfilial wretch! You ingrate! The Lin family has raised you for nothing!"

Seeing that Lin Wei was unmoved, he began to throw a tantrum.

He slapped his thigh and cried out.

"God! Open your eyes and see!"

The granddaughter is driving her own grandmother to her death! What a misfortune for the family! Lin Wei, you will die a horrible death…

Chen Dan also rushed over to try and pull Lin Wei away.

"Lin Wei! If you don't drop the case, I'll kill myself by running over your house today!"

The living room was a mess; if my parents hadn't gone on vacation, they wouldn't have bothered me.

They're probably going to succeed now.

But she's not the Lin Wei of the past; moral blackmail won't work on her!

Lin Wei took a step back in disgust, avoiding Shen Fang's tearing motion.

"Go ahead and make a scene if you want me to call the police a second time."

Lin Wei's voice was not loud, but it was firm and resonant, striking Xie Shuanghua's heart.

Xie Shuanghua's crying stopped abruptly, and she and Shen Dan looked at each other in bewilderment.

Grandma, my dad and mom have gone on a trip.

You won't get anything out of me.

After Lin Wei finished speaking, she didn't even glance at them again.

Seeing that Lin Wei was not someone to be trifled with, Xie Shuanghua took Shen Dan and left the Lin family villa, cursing and swearing.

We'll have to wait for her youngest son to come back.

Ever since Lin Wei broke off her engagement with that Gu family boy, she's been acting like she's possessed.

They argue with everyone and everything.

Sooner or later, she'll have to teach this little brat a lesson!

Lin Wei stood still, closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and suppressed the turmoil in her heart.

Having been given a second chance at life, no one can ever again leech off the Lin Group!

the next day

USA

Gu Jingcheng had just gotten off the plane.

Bai Wanwan had long hair that reached her chest and wore exquisite makeup.

Holding a bouquet of yellow roses, she looked towards the arrival gate.

Her slightly parted red lips, her gaze captivating, swaying with alluring charm.

The bright red, deep V-neck, off-the-shoulder dress with a cinched waist accentuated her slender and shapely figure.

Her neck and chest revealed her fair skin, so white it was dazzling.

She watched Gu Jingcheng come out, a charming smile playing on her lips.

"Brother Jingcheng!"

She then ran into Gu Jingcheng's arms.

Gu Jingcheng calmly raised his hand and pushed her away.

"Miss Bai, there is a difference between men and women."

A fierce glint flashed in Bai Wanwan's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

Her voice was deliberately softened, a softness that was alluring.

“Brother Jingcheng, we’ve been childhood sweethearts, isn’t it too formal for you to call me Miss Bai?”

"Didn't you used to call me Wanwan?"

Gu Jingcheng's pupils contracted slightly, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

That was before.

After saying that, he pushed Bai Wanwan aside and strode forward.

Bai Wanwan clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. It was all that Lin Wei's doing that seduced her.

Although Gu Jingcheng wasn't exactly close to her before, he wouldn't have been this distant either.

That bitch, I'll settle the score with her when I get back after she's sorted out her business in America...

Bai Wanwan, wearing high heels, struggled to keep up with Gu Jingcheng.

Gu Jingcheng showed no intention of stopping to wait for her, striding quickly with his long legs.

"Jingcheng, let's go eat first. I've made a reservation at a really good Western restaurant."

Bai Wanwan jogged to catch up with Gu Jingcheng, her face full of eagerness.

Her phone suddenly rang; it was Chen Jinhuai.

Bai Wanwan's face darkened, and she walked to a corner to answer the phone.

"Miss Bai, my old classmate is in America?"

Bai Wanwan lowered her voice.

"Go according to plan. Don't worry, I will definitely win over Gu Jingcheng within 3 days."

"You over there..."
