Chapter 161 Let's postpone our wedding.
The black Rolls-Royce merged into the traffic.
The oppressive silence inside the carriage
Lin Wei turned her head to look at the street scene rushing past outside the window.
Gu Jingcheng tried to speak several times,
The words were on the tip of his tongue,
Her aloof and distant back view blocked his way again.
He knew that some rifts couldn't be mended with just a few words.
A moment later,
The car was parked in front of the wedding planning venue.
The two followed the receptionist to their wedding showroom.
Even if you were mentally prepared, when the door was pushed open...
Lin Wei's heart was still struck hard.
What came into view was an overwhelming expanse of red.
The vibrant roses clustered together.
It hung down from the dome and spread across the walls.
The air was filled with a simulated rose scent.
It was so rich it was suffocating.
once Upon a time,
She chose this theme with great anticipation.
The red roses symbolize her passionate and unconditional love for Gu Jingcheng.
She had dreamed of walking towards him through this sea of flowers.
Complete the most important ritual of your life.
But now...
The overwhelming red was like a huge irony.
Every petal seemed to mock her naiveté.
Her love for Gu Jingcheng was "unreserved".
It becomes riddled with holes in the face of reality.
Between them lay Bai Qianqian, and disappointment.
Through an invisible crack.
Some things, once broken, can never be put back together.
Just like these beautiful roses, once they've fallen from the branch...
Eventually, they will slowly wither away amidst the hardships of life.
A wave of bitterness welled up in her nose.
Hot tears slid down her cheeks.
Gu Jingcheng's heart felt as if it had been scalded by that tear.
A sharp pain shot through me.
He quickly took a clean handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to him.
"slight……"
A smiling wedding planner hurried over.
Unaware of the subtle atmosphere between the two,
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, you've arrived!"
How does it feel? This is just a simulated rose sample used by our company.
The effect is already incredibly impressive.
The top-grade Ecuadorian red roses you ordered
We guarantee that the food will be air-freighted fresh to Jiangcheng the day before the wedding.
The actual result will be ten times more stunning than this current model.
"Gu Jingcheng, I have something to tell you."
Lin Wei led Gu Jingcheng aside.
Looking into the man's eyes.
The pain in my heart melted away piece by piece.
"Let's postpone our wedding."
She didn't want to talk about divorce at this time.
She hasn't finished dealing with things at her company yet.
Gu Jingcheng's company's project is about to go live, which is also the busiest time.
Let's talk about it after this period has passed.
But since the decision to divorce has already been made, there's no need to hold a wedding.
Postponement is the best excuse.
Gu Jingcheng's heart skipped a beat.
Grasp Lin Wei's wrist,
"Weiwei, why the sudden postponement?"
Was there something we didn't prepare well enough? Or...?
"Is it because of Qianqian?"
I'm sorry, I've really thought about this a lot lately.
It was my fault for not considering your feelings and causing you to suffer.
"But Qianqian and I really have nothing between us, I promise you, from now on..."
I will keep a complete distance from her.
I will handle everything related to her.
I will never make you sad again.
Weiwei, you've always been the only one in my heart.
Lin Wei gently pulled her hand away from his, her tone calm.
"It's not because of those things. Don't overthink it."
"Your company's new project is about to launch, and now is the busiest time."
I also have two important projects here.
I'll be very busy from now on.
Planning a wedding at this time is too rushed.
Let's do it after we've calmed down a bit.
Gu Jingcheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
A gentle smile returned to his face.
"Then we'll do as you say, until we're all done."
I promise to give you the most perfect wedding.
Gu Jingcheng's phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, walked over, and answered the phone.
Hang up the phone,
Gu Jingcheng's face showed hesitation and struggle, but he finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"Weiwei, I...I need to go to the hospital. Can you take a taxi home by yourself later?"
Lin Wei felt as if she had been pricked by a needle.
A numbing chill immediately followed.
She didn't ask who it was, but looked up at him and smiled, quiet and sensible.
"Okay. You can go ahead and get busy."
Lin Wei stood still.
Watching the black Rolls-Royce speed away,
The smile on his face disappeared.
Instead, a touch of self-deprecation appeared.
No matter how confidently he spoke,
He would still abandon her without hesitation if given just one phone call from her.
Run towards the person who "needs him".
However, it doesn't matter anymore.
In this life, she will never again be that love-struck fool whose heart and eyes are only for men.
She wanted to have all the choices in her own hands.

Shi Family Living Room
Shi Yanzhou sat on the leather sofa to one side, his back straight.
Opposite him stood his ever-imposing father, Shi Xiong'an.
Even at home, he sits upright, exuding an air of authority without being angry.
The air felt somewhat stagnant.
Shi Xiong'an picked up the purple clay cup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea.
Her gaze sharpened as she looked at her son, who had lost weight.
"Yanzhou, the company has a project in Blue City."
"We're preparing to open a branch office; the prospects are excellent, but the investment and risks are also significant."
"I can't handle it all by myself."
Your sister is completely focused on the entertainment industry; you can't count on her.
Come back and help me.
Shi Yanzhou's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he lowered his head.
He stared silently at the wool carpet beneath his feet.
Chen Qiuyue, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer.
He got up and sat down next to Shi Yanzhou, speaking earnestly.
"Son, this vast family business..."
Someone has to take over. Your father is getting old.
My energy level isn't what it used to be.
Yes, you used to want to study medicine, and your parents thought that was your dream.
There was no objection; you're free to go ahead and try.
"But right now, the company really needs you."
This is the culmination of your father's life's work.
Can you bear to watch it slowly wither away because there's no one to carry on its legacy?
Chen Qiuyue and Shi Xiong'an both knew that
The claim that "the company needs it" is certainly true.
But the deeper reason is their selfishness as parents.
Last time, Shi Yanzhou quietly applied to go to Africa for medical assistance.
They went to a dangerous area rife with conflict.
During that period, the couple didn't get a single good night's sleep.
I was on tenterhooks, afraid of receiving some bad news.
They never want to experience that kind of fear again.
Only by getting my son to leave the medical profession completely can we achieve this.
Only when we are back under their watchful eyes can they finally put their minds at ease.
What if one day he gets a sudden impulse and runs off to some war-torn place?
How can those two old people survive?

Jiangcheng Hospital
He lay on the hospital bed, his face pale.
Gu Jingcheng frowned, looking down at her.
If it weren't for the phone call where the doctor said Bai Qianqian had attempted suicide by cutting her wrists...
He won't abandon Weiwei and rush over.
"Qianqian, why did you do something so foolish?"
"Brother Jingcheng, I sent you WeChat messages but you didn't reply."
You're not tired of me anymore.
"If even you don't care about me, there's no point in me living."
Gu Jingcheng's brows furrowed even deeper.
"I am already married."
Weiwei is my legal wife, and she allows me to come see you.
It's her magnanimity. I can take care of you out of a sense of responsibility and out of gratitude for what I did for you back then.
However, there will never be any romantic feelings between us.
Don't say things like that again.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Bai Qianqian's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
"Brother Jingcheng, that's not what I meant..."
"Then you should get some rest."
The ward door was closed.
Bai Qianqian ripped off the fake bandage on her wrist.
Remove the saline solution.
His face was full of viciousness.
Lin Wei, that woman, really has some tricks up her sleeve.
In just a few days, Brother Jingcheng had already fallen for her.
Gu Jingcheng returned to Jingcheng Group.
He sat on the sofa, replaying the details of his reunion with Bai Qianqian over and over again.
A sense of conspiracy crept into his mind, growing ever clearer.
Qiu Cheng pushed the door open and came in.
"Mr. Gu, we've found information about the mysterious person who sent the email to Mr. Lin."
Who is it?
"Shen Xinyu, a 28-year-old from Jiangcheng."
His father was a security guard, his mother was a cleaner, and he was their only son.
I left the country about seven or eight years ago and only returned a few months ago.
"and..."
Qiu Cheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Moreover, his IP address shows that it is in the same place as Bai Qianqian's."
Their return dates also largely overlapped.
Gu Jingcheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.
