Chapter 16 Respect, Blessing, Locked In
Gu Family Old House
Gu Jingcheng was very busy today; to be precise, he was kept busy by Gu Yinuo.
The little guy started picking out his clothes for the evening auction this morning.
"Uncle, do you think Weiwei prefers Nuonuo in a suit or Nuonuo in a hoodie?"
Should I wear dress shoes or sneakers?
"My hairstyle is so outdated. Can you come with me to the mall to get my hair done, Uncle?"
Her little mouth was chattering away.
Gu Jingcheng felt as if a swarm of bees were buzzing incessantly in his ear.
He rubbed his temples.
Weiwei doesn't like little kids.
Gu Yinuo put on a hat and shook her head in front of the mirror.
"Hmph, Uncle is just jealous that Weiwei likes me, that's why he said that."
"Don't think I don't know that your uncle also likes Weiwei."
The way you look at Weiwei is different from how you look at the other sisters.
Gu Jingcheng raised an eyebrow, taking it as Gu Yinuo's innocent remark that he didn't like Lin Wei.
dislike...
"Nono, if you say that again, your uncle won't take you."
Suddenly, everything became quiet.
Gu Yinuo moved next to him and swung his long legs.
"Uncle, I won't say anymore, just take me there."
Gu Huojun was sitting in the living room reading a magazine. Gu Yinuo's room was on the first floor, and the door was not closed.
Gu Huojun overheard every word of his grandson's conversation with Gu Jingcheng.
Based on his understanding of his youngest son.
What Nuonuo said is probably true; his son is stubborn and secretly passionate.
He never takes the initiative when he likes someone, and he always has a sour face, scaring away all the good girls.
No, for the sake of continuing the family line, I still have to keep nagging. Otherwise, when will I ever get to hold my grandson?
"Son, many daughters of prominent families will be attending the auction tonight. Take a look."
If you're interested, let me know and I'll set you up.
"You're already thirty-two. People your age already have kids old enough to run errands, but you're still a bachelor."
"Make me proud and bring a girlfriend home soon."
"Dad, I understand."
Gu Jingcheng took advantage of the moment when Gu Yinuo was looking for clothes to come out of the room.
He strode out.
Where are you going?
"Go to the company."
Gu Huojun put down the magazine, his face darkening.
"Don't go to the office today. Take Nuonuo to the mall to buy some clothes, and you can dress up too."
"If you really like the girl Nono mentioned, take the initiative."
"Girls need to be pursued. Don't keep a long face, or you'll scare away all the good girls."
Gu Jingcheng stood there with his hands in his pockets and gave a faint "hmm".
If his father knew that Lin Wei was Gu Xuan's fiancée, would he still be so eager to urge him to take the initiative?
My father's health has deteriorated over the years, so there's no need to make a fuss over such a small matter.
When Gu Jingcheng returned to Gu Yinuo's room, he saw him bending over, diligently rummaging through the closet for clothes.
He chuckled softly.
"Nono, Uncle will take you to buy new clothes."
Gu Yinuo excitedly peeked out.
"Really? That's great, Uncle! Nono loves Uncle the most."
She eagerly took Gu Jingcheng's hand as she spoke.
"Uncle, let's set off now."
Gu Jingcheng couldn't do anything with him, so he affectionately ruffled his hair.
The little one pouted and muttered, "Uncle, you messed up my hairstyle."
Lin Wei looked at the trending topics and twisted her hair into a deep frown.
As public opinion continued to ferment, the news of Gu Xuan's successful marriage proposal spread like wildfire throughout Jiangcheng.
Her past actions of pursuing Gu Xuan and providing loans to the Gu Group have been exposed.
In addition, some marketing accounts stirred up trouble.
She was labeled as: love-struck, a woman who throws herself at someone else, etc.
It even escalated to personal attacks.
Have ATMs become sentient? The transaction records are longer than the chat logs.
Respect, blessings, and a lock-in.
Feeling sorry for a man is bad luck for eight lifetimes; spending money on a man is bad luck for three lifetimes.
As a result, the Lin Group's stock price plummeted.
Despite the company's crisis management efforts, the results were minimal.
Not wanting to sit idly by and wait for death, Lin Wei made an appointment with Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing acted swiftly and decisively, quickly identifying several accounts with high click rates.
When they contacted the other party to request the deletion, the other party immediately backed down upon seeing that Shen Qingqing was a professional lawyer.
“Weiwei, the key issue is still the official Weibo account of the Gu Group.”
"Do you want to contact Gu Xuan privately, or should I send a lawyer's letter directly?"
Given Gu Xuan's personality, going directly to him won't do any good; he might even turn the tables on you.
Lin Wei's gaze was sharp.
“He won’t give up easily; send him a lawyer’s letter directly.”
A complex emotion flickered in Shen Qingqing's eyes as she hesitated before speaking.
"Weiwei, did you really break up with Gu Xuan? You used to love him to death."
"Your change of heart is too fast! Did he cheat on you?"
A deep hatred welled up in Lin Wei's eyes. In her previous life, she was pregnant and was tortured to death in the street by Gu Xuan.
He owed her several lives, and she hated him to the core, wishing he would die a thousand times over.
"Qingqing, do you believe in reincarnation?"
If I told you I've already died once, would you believe me?
Shen gently reached out and touched her forehead, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
"Weiwei, are you alright? Don't scare me. I'm a materialist."
Lin Wei didn't say anything more; she hadn't expected anyone to believe her in the first place.
As long as she knows it in her heart, that's fine.
"Send him a lawyer's letter. If he still doesn't change, I'll sue him."
After parting ways with Shen Qingqing, Lin Wei did not return to the company.
She had promised Gu Yinuo that evening to go to the auction together, but she didn't have any suitable clothes.
It's also her fault for being so love-struck back then, with her mind filled with nothing but that scumbag Gu Xuan.
I never attend such occasions, and I don't even own many clothes for formal occasions.
She parked her car in the basement of Blue Bay Plaza.
This is one of the more bustling shopping malls in Jiangcheng.
She plans to choose a few dresses for the banquet.
On the other side
Gu Xuan's car
Lin Yan leaned against Gu Xuan's chest, looking pitiful.
"Brother Gu Xuan, when can I go back to my sister's house? I can't stand it anymore."
Since returning to her own home, she has had to be mindful of her stepmother Shen Dan's moods at all times.
Even the servants dared to give her the cold shoulder and ridicule.
Gu Xuan gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, then hooked a strand of hair and played with it.
"Yan'er, just bear with it a little longer. I'll take you to the auction tonight."
Buy whatever you like, just to cheer you up.
Lin Yan couldn't help but let a slight smile appear on her lips, but it was fleeting.
“Brother Gu Xuan, Yan’er only has you left, you can’t abandon her.”
Gu Xuan lowered his eyes, looking at the alluring woman in his arms, with Lin Wei's face flashing before his eyes.
He shook his head, his heart skipped a beat, how could he have thought of Lin Wei?
He placed his hands on Lin Yan's soft waist, and Lin Wei's face lingered in his mind, impossible to forget.
"Impossible, impossible."
"Brother Gu Xuan, what's impossible?"
Gu Xuan looked at Lin Yan's pitiful eyes and smiled faintly, "It's alright, Yan'er."
"Brother Gu Xuan, shall we go shopping at Blue Bay Mall? I don't have a formal dress yet."
"Okay, I'll do whatever Yan'er says."
