Chapter 163 I'm a little tired



Chapter 163 I'm a little tired

Chen Jinhuai sat behind a large desk.

I'm flipping through the latest project progress of Jingcheng Group.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He had waited so many years, and this day had finally come.

Gu Jingcheng has staked his entire fortune on this new project.

His chance is about to come.

As long as something can distract Gu Jingcheng at this time,

The cracks in Gu Jingcheng's brain, which was supposed to be functioning properly, distracted him.

He can then take advantage of the situation.

They crushed the Jingcheng Group in one fell swoop.

At that time, it won't just be Jingcheng Group,

He still wants to return to the Gu family with dignity.

Let those who once scorned him and his mother...

Clearly see,

He was not an illegitimate child who couldn't be brought into the light, but the rightful heir of the Gu family.

Chen Jinhuai's eyes welled with more than thirty years of pent-up hatred and humiliation.

"Gu Huojun... this is what you owe me and my mother..."

…It must be returned with interest.”

He picked up his phone and dialed Bai Qianqian's number.

"Qianqian, we're about to succeed!"

You should put in a better effort on your end.

After it's all done, I'll give you a grand wedding.

"So that you can rightfully become my woman."

On the other end of the phone, Bai Qianqian's eyes lit up, suppressing her excitement.

"Brother Jin Huai... are you telling the truth?"

Don't lie to Qianqian.

When have I ever lied to you?

"Stick to the plan and don't mess it up again."

"Yes, Brother Jin Huai, I know what to do."

Bai Qianqian hung up the phone and looked at the bustling traffic outside the ward.

Her contorted, excited face was reflected in the glass window.

Soon, she will marry the man she has loved for ten years.

The past ten years of waiting, dedication,

Finally... this day has come.

-

Lin Wei returned to the company and sat on the large sofa.

She pondered repeatedly how to bring it up with Yanlin.

Let him act as the company's agent.

Although Yanlin has made great progress, he still retains some of the impetuousness of a young person.

Just as he was pondering this, Lin Yanlin poked his head in.

He was dangling a small cardboard box cake in his hand.

He plopped down into the sofa opposite her.

"Sis, you were looking for me?"

As he spoke, he opened the cake box by himself.

"Perfect timing! I brought you something from a new shop downstairs. Want to try it?"

Lin Wei looked at his relaxed demeanor,

The words that were about to come out were swallowed back down.

"The way you look, you don't look like someone who's here to report on work at all."

Lin Yanlin scooped a large spoonful of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Sis, once I finish this project, I really need to take a vacation."

I've been working overtime for a month straight.

Even the donkeys in the production team aren't treated like that, are they?

You can't be a heartless capitalist and exploit your own brother!

Lin Wei almost laughed out of anger at him, her voice carrying a hint of teasing.

"Lin Yanlin, this is our family's own company."

You are working for yourself.

I want to rest, but who should I ask for permission from?

"No, sis, you can't just give up."

Looking at her younger brother's playful expression, Lin Wei calmly focused her gaze on his face.

His words were earnest and heartfelt.

"Yanlin, you've grown up. You're the company's vice president now."

We can't be as willful as before, doing whatever we want.

Lin Yanlin was taken aback by the seriousness on Lin Wei's face.

I put down the cake and sat up straighter.

"Sis, what's wrong? What happened?"

Lin Wei felt that she should give him a heads-up first.

So that he won't be unable to accept it immediately.

"Yanlin, I might need to rest for a while."

A relatively long period of time.

Everything in the company... will probably have to be handled by you.

"...Sis, what's wrong? Why are you resting?"

"I'm a little tired."

Lin Yanlin looked at her somewhat tired face.

It felt like something had stabbed my heart.

His older sister, who had always been like a superhero, also got tired.

Lin Yanlin abandoned his carefree demeanor.

His brows furrowed slightly.

After a moment, he let out a soft breath, as if he had made a great decision.

"Okay, sis."

"Don't think about anything, just get some rest."

"It doesn't matter how long it takes. Come back when you've rested well."

"Leave the company to me with peace of mind."

Although I'm usually a bit of a slacker,

But I will never let you down when it matters most.

I will protect Dad's and your hard work.

When you come back, I promise the Lin family will still be a perfectly good family.

Lin Wei looked at her serious-looking younger brother and smiled with satisfaction.

The phone on the table rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button.

Shi Yanzhou's voice came through the receiver.

"Weiwei, I'm downstairs at your company. I need to talk to you about something."

"Is it convenient for you to come down?"

"good."

Lin Wei hung up the phone, a sense of doubt rising in her mind.

Shi Yanzhou doesn't come to the company to see her easily; it must be something important.

downstairs coffee shop,

Shi Yanzhou deliberately chose the one furthest inside.

The booths were partially hidden by greenery.

I ordered an Americano and a glass of fresh milk.

He sat there, his fingers tracing the warm rim of the cup, his heart pounding a little fast.

After learning from Cheng Xinyue that Weiwei was pregnant,

He found himself standing downstairs at her company building, almost as if possessed.

He wanted to hear her say it with his own ears, and even more so, he wanted to know... whether she was doing well.

Although he didn't know what he was sad about.

But the feeling in my heart is uncontrollable.

He knew that she was already Mrs. Gu.

He should keep his distance.

Can...

He had also considered silently protecting her.

But why did Weiwei come to her prenatal checkup alone while she was pregnant?

What about Gu Jingcheng?

Is this how the man who once swore to take good care of Weiwei fulfilled his promise?

He was afraid—afraid that Weiwei wasn't doing well, afraid that Gu Jingcheng wouldn't treat her well.

He grew up with Weiwei and always knew that...

Weiwei is a sensitive person who doesn't like to express herself.

Besides being decisive and efficient at work

In matters of the heart, she would only silently process her grievances on her own.

He didn't want to see Weiwei hiding in a corner, licking her wounds alone.

If Weiwei is unhappy, he'd rather bear the blame himself.

I want to stay by her side.

The coffee shop door was pushed open.

Lin Wei walked in wearing a simple business suit.

When his gaze fell on the glass of fresh milk, his eyes flickered slightly.

Does Brother Yanzhou know something?

"Brother Yanzhou, have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just arrived too."

Shi Yanzhou suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and pushed the fresh milk in front of her.

"I ordered this for you."

Lin Wei sat down, holding the warm cup in both hands, but did not drink.

A brief silence fell between the two.

Looking at the man opposite her, Lin Wei felt inexplicably at ease.

That was Shi Yanzhou, who she had grown up with and who had always stood by her side.

Shi Yanzhou finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Weiwei...did you go to the hospital today?"

"I... heard about it from my colleagues at the hospital."

Lin Wei's body stiffened for a moment as she met Shi Yanzhou's eyes.

A feeling suddenly arose in my heart.

It seemed that, apart from Shi Yanzhou, she had no one else to confide in.

He would always stand by her side and keep any secrets for her.

Lin Wei's guard lowered.

Her voice carried a hint of joy, as if she were sharing a little secret she had been keeping to herself.

"Yes, it's been 3 months."
