Chapter 10 So pitiful
I've arranged to get my marriage certificate with Gu Jingcheng today.
Lin Wei drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The Civil Affairs Bureau of Jiangcheng is located at the northernmost point, with a unique landscape.
There is a huge red heart sculpture at the entrance, as well as a mural of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
The whole atmosphere was romantic and warm.
Lin Wei drove for 50 minutes.
My feet were already aching, so I couldn't appreciate the view.
She casually slung her black Chanel bag over her arm.
get off.
She was wearing a simple light pink long dress.
The sleeveless, fitted style accentuated her slender waist and figure.
She was a completely different person from Lin Wei at work.
The hemline is above the ankle, paired with transparent French-style strappy sandals with stiletto heels, creating a gentle and sweet look.
She was filled with anxiety, wondering why Gu Jingcheng wanted her to marry him.
He was unmoved by her seductive advances in the car before, but now he's taking the initiative to get a marriage certificate with her.
What is he planning?
Lin Wei rubbed her temples, forcing herself to stop thinking about these things.
If she could get a marriage certificate with Gu Jingcheng now, she could not only save her father, but also take another step closer to her revenge plan.
Regardless of his purpose, she's determined to get the certificate today.
She walked into the marriage registration hall, but Gu Jingcheng was nowhere to be seen.
Didn't we agree to meet at 9:00?
Was he too busy and forgot?
Or was he just saying it casually?
Lin Wei found a corner to sit down and dialed Gu Jingcheng's number.
After a few rings, a woman's voice came through the receiver.
"Hello, Jingcheng is preparing for a very important meeting. Is there anything you can tell me?"
Lin Wei's mind went blank; she couldn't recall Gu Jingcheng ever having a female secretary.
Moreover, that woman called him Jing Cheng... as if they were very familiar with each other...
She hung up the phone without saying a word.
Despite this, Lin Wei still waited for him for two hours, as if possessed by a ghost.
So much so that later, whenever she recalled this memory, she felt like a clown being made a fool of.
At 9:30, the hall gradually became lively, with people getting married and getting divorced.
The marriage registration office in Jiangcheng is quite interesting; the marriage registration office is right next to the divorce registration office.
There are no obstructions in the middle.
The young couple on the left, getting married, looked blissful, with the man considerately letting the woman sit on a chair and wait.
On the right, the couple registering for divorce are in a completely different situation.
The man sat casually in the chair, legs crossed, expression indifferent, as if everything around him was irrelevant.
The woman stood silently to the side, her eyes filled with melancholy, quietly awaiting a predetermined ending.
Indeed, in the end, love comes down to conscience.
Lin Wei wondered if she and Gu Jingcheng would also end up like the second type.
Even before they've registered their marriage, she can already foresee the scene of their eventual divorce.
At 10:00, Lin Wei dialed Gu Jingcheng's number.
His gaze inadvertently fell on the television screen in the living room.
My heart tightened, and my pupils contracted slightly.
The screen is currently playing news about the new product launch event held by Jingcheng Group.
Gu Jingcheng was introducing the company's products on the podium. He was tall and stood very straight.
A dark blue suit accentuated his handsome features.
The purple shirt peeking out from the collar is understated yet exudes a mature masculine charm.
On the screen behind him, his company's latest chip technology was displayed in the most prominent position.
It is identical to the chip technology developed by Linwei Company.
.........
Lin Wei's head was buzzing, and tinnitus filled her brain.
It felt like everyone around me was spinning.
Was Gu Jingcheng lying to her yesterday?
He never even considered helping her rescue her father, nor did he intend to help her reunite with the research and development team.
Lin Wei felt as if a hole had been opened in her heart, letting in gusts of cold wind.
His face was completely drained of color, and he felt as if he had been doused with ice water from head to toe, his heart turning utterly cold.
She was waiting at the Civil Affairs Bureau to get her marriage certificate with him.
And he, impeccably dressed, held a press conference.
They brazenly used his company's name to label her company's latest technology!
On the screen, Gu Jingcheng's phone rang. He glanced down at it and turned to answer it.
Lin Wei pressed the hang-up button, wiped away her tears, stood up, and forced herself to walk out of the hall.
In my past life, I was deceived by a man; in this life, I will be deceived by a man again!
Moreover, both of them share the surname Gu...
It's really ridiculous.
After finishing the new product launch, Gu Jingcheng made a phone call to the Public Security Bureau.
But Lin Wei's father's situation is not simple.
Out of consideration for Gu Jingcheng, the other party reluctantly agreed to release the person in the afternoon.
He looked down at the chip technology documents on the table, his brows furrowing slightly.
His fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, his gaze slightly darkening.
"Mr. Gu, here are the things you requested."
Gu Jingcheng took the tablet from Qiu Cheng, leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and lazily pressed the play button.
Lin Wei's figure appeared on the screen.
Lin Wei sat on a wooden bench in the marriage registration hall, staring at the television screen with tears in her eyes.
She wore a light pink dress, exuding gentleness and charm, yet with a touch of fragility.
A few strands of hair fluttered on either side of her cheeks, making her look pitiful against her wet eyes.
Gu Jingcheng frowned slightly, his usual aloof expression gone.
He tapped his fingers on the table, wondering if he was being too cruel to her.
Does she... really want to marry him?
"Qiu Cheng, draft a chip licensing agreement."
Lin Wei returned to the company dejectedly.
Looking at Gu Jingcheng's missed calls, her heart sank completely.
She dialed Shen Qingqing's number.
Perhaps she can help.
Shen Qingqing was her deskmate in high school. She studied law in college and is now a famous and beautiful lawyer in Jiangcheng.
The two lost contact after graduation and hadn't seen each other for many years.
Lin Wei arranged to meet Shen Qingqing at the coffee shop in her law firm.
I ordered two Americanos and spotted a woman in a business suit and gold-rimmed glasses in the distance.
Over the years, she has been completely transformed.
At this moment, she is wearing strappy high heels, an Armani suit, and her silk blouse has three buttons undone, exuding the confidence of an elite woman.
She is completely different from the timid, chubby girl she used to be.
"Qingqing, it's been a long time, you've become even more beautiful."
Lin Wei stood up and greeted them with a smile.
"It's rare for you to ask me out, so just say what's on your mind."
Chen sat down gently, picked up his coffee, took a sip, and looked around curiously.
"My dear CEO Lin, you look so worried. Did you break up with your girlfriend or go bankrupt?"
Lin Wei choked, and gently replied in the same old way.
"Qingqing, can't you wish me well for once?"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two seemed to have returned to their high school days.
Lin Wei briefly recounted her father's situation to Shen Qingqing.
Shen patted her chest gently and assured her that she would take care of the small case.
Lin Wei felt relieved; things didn't seem as difficult as she had imagined.
In the afternoon, Lin Wei received a call from the police station.
Tell her to pick up her father.
Lin Wei tightened her grip on her phone; the efficiency was astounding.
Without delay, she hung up the phone and rushed to the police station.
She didn't see the WeChat message that Shen Qingqing sent her.
"Weiwei, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I checked, and..."
My uncle's case involves a suicide attempt five years ago, and the police station won't budge.
