Chapter 127 My Little Brother is Returning Home Today
Lin Wei noticed the deep worry in her mother's eyes.
He stepped forward, his tone softening.
"Dad, Mom, don't misunderstand Gu Jingcheng. He's not like Gu Xuan."
"Our situation was special before, so we didn't disclose it."
Seeing her parents' silence, Lin Wei knew that words alone were not enough.
She needed to offer something tangible to appease her parents.
She gently raised her wrist, revealing the understated luster of the jade bracelet on her wrist.
"Actually... I've already met Jingcheng's father."
"This bracelet was a gift from his father to me."
Lin Wei paused, her tone resolute.
"Uncle Gu said that this is... passed down from the Gu family to his daughter-in-law."
Su Qing stared blankly at the bracelet. Over the years, she had bought countless pieces of jewelry.
It's immediately obvious that this bracelet is of excellent quality and quite valuable.
However, she was still unable to process the fact that her daughter was marrying Gu Jingcheng.
She looked at Lin Yaocheng with pleading eyes.
Lin Yaocheng's eyes flickered.
The Gu family... were actually willing to give their family heirloom bracelet to their daughter.
This was indeed far beyond his expectations.
He temporarily suppressed his resentment towards Gu Jingcheng.
Lin Wei took a deep breath.
"I'd like to take him home for dinner tomorrow night...to meet him formally."
Just then, my younger brother came back too.
Lin Yaocheng sighed. At least,
He needs to meet Gu Jingcheng first before making any plans.
"Since it's already decided... let's bring him back tomorrow night."
-
the next day
The president's office of the Lin Group.
Sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
But it couldn't dispel the weariness between Lin Wei's brows.
She propped her forehead with one hand while rapidly flipping through the documents on the table with the other.
The pen unconsciously tapped across the paper with its fingertips.
The phone screen, which was placed to the side, lit up.
It vibrated twice with a buzzing sound.
She glanced at it and saw it was a WeChat message from Gu Jingcheng.
"Want to have lunch together?"
Lin Wei's gaze lingered on the screen for two seconds, then she tapped her finger lightly and quickly replied with a few words:
"No, I haven't finished my work."
The other end replied:
"You still need to eat on time. What would you like to eat? I'll bring it to you."
Looking at this message that conveyed concern,
A slight sweetness welled up in my heart, but it was quickly suppressed by the mountain of official duties piled up in front of me.
She didn't reply, and placed her phone screen-down on the table.
at the same time,
The tea room outside was quite lively.
Qin Simiao leaned against the kitchen counter, surrounded by several young female office workers.
He was born with a pair of captivating eyes; when he smiled, his eyes sparkled.
With a touch of cynical roguishness, he was speaking fluently and eloquently.
"Sisters, I'll be retiring and returning to Ancheng in just half a month."
Who among you is reluctant to part with me and is willing to come back with me?
I, Young Master Qin, guarantee you'll be treated to the best food and drink; I will absolutely not mistreat you!
The girls were amused by him and burst into laughter.
Putting aside everything else, the male assistant that President Lin hired...
She's incredibly good-looking, has a sweet tongue, and is very good at providing emotional support.
The atmosphere in the office became much more lively because of him.
People find him pleasing to the eye and enjoy joking with him.
But they all knew perfectly well that this kind of young master from a good family and with good looks...
It seems close, but in reality, it's far away.
It's not something they can even dream of.
Moreover, over the past two weeks, who hasn't seen through Young Master Qin's intentions?
All his joking and persistent pestering were aimed at Ms. Lin's best friend.
The red flowers have faded away.
As they were talking and laughing,
A beautiful figure attracted everyone's attention.
Several little girls eagerly took their notebooks, wanting to go up and get autographs.
Shi Nuan wore a Chanel tweed suit today.
Wearing sunglasses that covered half of his face,
In her arms, however, she was holding a bunch of sunflowers that contrasted slightly with her exquisite outfit.
She walked briskly, heading directly towards Lin Wei's office.
Qin Simiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked away from the crowd.
It rushed forward like a large dog that only sees its owner.
Her smile was dazzling.
"Mr. Shi, what brings you here today?"
Are you here to see General Manager Lin? I'll take you there!
Shi Nuan stopped in her tracks upon hearing the sound, and slightly raised her chin.
The sunglasses slipped down a little, revealing a pair of clear eyes that also carried a hint of arrogance.
She glanced at Qin Simiao from head to toe, looking at his obsequious yet unreliable manner.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes slightly.
This young master of the Qin family was even more glib and irresponsible than she had imagined.
With Jiang Kai, who had always liked to tease her since childhood,
They're practically identical spoiled brats.
In other words, his face was a few points better looking than Jiang Kai's...
Even though they had that unexpected physical intimacy, it was still her first time!
But Shi Nuan just couldn't feel any attraction to him.
Her voice was cool and aloof, carrying the unique detachment of a celebrity.
"No need, Assistant Qin. You go about your business, I'll go find Weiwei myself."
After saying that, she stopped looking at Qin Simiao and continued walking forward while holding the flowers.
Qin Simiao choked for a moment, her smile freezing on her face.
His eyes, however, unconsciously followed the bouquet of sunflowers in Shi Nuan's arms.
Suddenly, he noticed a delicate card tucked into the bouquet.
A line of clear handwriting caught his eye:
To my beloved younger brother Yanlin: Welcome back to China.
Love, my sweet sister.
Yanlin?!
Qin Simiao's heart skipped a beat. Who was this kid?
Why has Shi Nuan never mentioned it before?
How could Shi Nuan personally come to deliver flowers?
Still "my favorite"?
A strong sour feeling instantly rushed to the top of my head.
He ignored Shi Nuan's cold stare and followed her furtively.
He crouched by the door of Lin Wei's office, eavesdropping on what was happening inside.
His face was full of jealousy.
-
Lin Wei was working on some documents when there was a gentle knock on her office door.
Then a head popped in.
"Weiwei, is our little brother going back to China today?"
Shi Nuan walked in with a smile, her tone light and cheerful.
Lin Wei looked up and gave her a disgruntled look.
"Warm Nuan, where did you learn these internet slang terms?"
"What little brother? That's my brother, Lin Yanlin."
"Oh, they're all the same!"
Shi Nuan waved her hand dismissively and walked to Lin Wei's desk.
He placed the sunflower he was holding on it.
"I'm his sister too, and I had no idea this little tagalong had been living abroad for so many years."
Has anything changed?
A hint of regret appeared on Shi Nuan's face.
"Unfortunately, I have an important dinner engagement tonight."
I won't be able to pick him up then. I'll definitely make it up to him next time.
Please take these flowers to him for me. Didn't he used to love sunflowers the most?
Lin Wei looked at the bouquet of flowers and smiled.
"Okay, okay, Yanlin knows you've become a big star and was thinking of asking you for your autograph."
These words pleased Shi Nuan greatly, and she raised her chin slightly.
The smug look on his face deepened, like a kitten whose fur had been stroked.
"No problem, no problem."
However, Shi Nuan's gaze lingered on Lin Wei's face for a moment.
Looking at her radiant little face.
Suddenly, he narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly and leaned closer to Lin Wei.
"Wait, Weiwei, tell me the truth!"
Lin Wei subconsciously leaned back slightly.
She looked at the pretty and somewhat cute face in front of her with annoyance.
"Explain what? It's all so nonsensical."
"Still pretending to be stupid!"
