Chapter 177 Xinwei Technology
Lin Wei was somewhat at a loss.
Her heart... from the moment she was born, to her first steps and her first words,
Five whole years...
There has never been a "father" figure in my life.
This title might represent reliance and companionship for other children.
But for Xinxin, it was just a picture book...
A vague concept I heard from other children in kindergarten.
At that moment, the daughter asked about this concept in a matter-of-fact tone.
A wave of guilt overwhelmed Lin Wei, plunging her into dark memories.
She didn't know how to answer.
How should she answer?
Should I tell my daughter that her father doesn't know she exists?
Does her father and mother have an unforgivable past?
These are too difficult for a five-year-old to understand.
Until the airport announcements came urging passengers to board.
Lin Weicai snapped out of her daze and, under the guise of helping her daughter adjust her overalls,
To conceal the turmoil in one's emotions.
When she raised her head again, a gentle smile was on her face.
"My dear Xinxin, your grandparents and uncle have prepared a lot for us."
"They've got all the delicious food and fun things for us to do at home."
"Come on, baby, we're getting on the plane."

At Jiangcheng Hospital, Su Qing lay in her hospital bed.
Lin Yaocheng quietly peeled an apple.
The fruit knife moved smoothly, the fruit peel hanging down in a continuous stream, making a soft, rustling sound.
A tranquil atmosphere was created in the ward.
Looking at his wife's still pale face, he felt a pang of heartache.
Over the years, because of that failed marriage,
As if deliberately drawing a line, the daughter has never set foot on the land of Jiangcheng.
Every Spring Festival, he and Su Qing would take their youngest son to Blue City for a family reunion.
Although it's a nice place, it always lacks the true feeling of "home".
He knew that his wife was worried about their daughter.
Five years have passed, and Weiwei still refuses to come back.
Su Qing turned her head, her eyes filled with expectation.
"Old Lin, is Weiwei on the plane? Is she coming back with Xinxin?"
"yes,"
Lin Yaocheng cut the peeled apple into small pieces and placed them in a porcelain bowl.
They called me when I boarded the plane.
They said they'd arrive around 3 PM.
A hint of relief appeared on Su Qing's face, but her eyes quickly dimmed again.
"Old Lin, how long will Weiwei be able to come back this time?"
"It would be great if they could come back and stay permanently."
Lin Yaocheng handed the apple to his wife and offered advice that avoided the main point.
"Let's eat an apple first to get some vitamins."
"Young people have their own ideas and careers, and we... should be more understanding."
"But Weiwei is already 28, shouldn't she also consider her personal life?"
I heard that in Lancheng, he has been in contact with that kid Yanzhou.
Both children are single, so how about... our two families get to know each other first?
Maybe...it might work out?
Su Qing looked at her husband, her eyes full of hope.
It seems that if this could be facilitated, the daughter would be able to move on from her previous relationship.
I'm back in Jiangcheng.
Looking at his wife's expectant gaze, Lin Yaocheng felt a mix of emotions.
How could he not wish for his daughter's happiness and for the family to be reunited?
But he knew that feelings couldn't be forced, especially with a strong-willed girl like Weiwei.
"Don't think too much, just focus on getting better. We'll wait for Weiwei to come back."
Let's see how things go.
At Jiangcheng Airport, Lin Wei led Xin Xin off the plane.
Five years have passed, and this place is exactly the same as when she left.
The same hustle and bustle, the same hurried pace.
But in Lin Wei's eyes, every familiar scene stung with that memory.
Five years have passed.
She finally mustered up the courage to set foot on this land.
Countless nights in the dead of night, she was haunted by the same nightmare.
On that night of torrential rain, Gu Xuan and Gu Jingcheng's cold expressions shifted in turn.
Finally, a sharp knife was plunged deep into her heart.
The bone-chilling cold and despair lingered long after I woke up.
She thought she was strong enough, but the moment she set foot on Jiangcheng soil...
She then realized that some wounds never truly heal.
She lived two lives, and was hurt by men from the Gu family both times.
Lin Wei's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.
She's definitely a hopeless romantic.
But the only difference is that in this life, she has Xin Xin.
Lin Wei looked down at her daughter's innocent profile.
Her soft little hand gripped hers tightly.
Lin Wei felt a warmth in her heart; this was the sole reason she lived.
"uncle."
As soon as Xin Xin stepped out of the arrivals gate, she saw Lin Yanlin.
She skipped and hopped over there.
Lin Yanlin scooped his little niece up high in his arms.
"Xinxin, I miss your uncle so much."
He ruffled Xin Xin's hair and looked at Lin Wei, who was walking slowly towards him.
My sister has lost some of her former brightness, and her eyes have gained a more mature and serene quality.
Lin Yanlin felt a pang of sadness, but a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Sis, are you tired from the journey? The car is right outside."
"We'll go to the hospital first; Mom keeps talking about you."
Lin Wei nodded.
The three got into the car, and the black sedan drove out of the airport.
We drove towards Jiangcheng Hospital.

Blue City
Shi Yanzhou sat in a large office chair.
But he was distracted.
Weiwei has returned to Jiangcheng. Will she run into that person?
For five years, he has silently protected Weiwei, hoping that such days could last forever.
However, the name Gu Jingcheng became his deepest fear.
He was afraid that one day, Weiwei would come back to her side.
He knew that Lin Wei had appeared calm all these years.
They devoted all their energy to "Xinwei Technology" and raising Xinxin.
But in her heart, she never truly let go of Gu Jingcheng.
He couldn't imagine whether Weiwei would leave him if he reunited with Gu Jingcheng in Jiangcheng.
An unease grew rapidly in Shi Yanzhou's heart, making him restless.
Assistant Li Yi pushed the door open and came in.
"Mr. Shi, Jingcheng Group is currently soliciting bids for a major cooperation project partner."
It was a large-scale bidding process, with hundreds of companies reportedly participating.
Mr. Shi just called, hoping our Blue Town branch will also participate in the bidding, just to test the waters.
Shi Yanzhou rubbed his temples; it was Gu Jingcheng again.
He hesitated for a moment
"I understand. Just prepare the bidding documents according to the procedure."
Did 'Xinwei Technology' participate in the bidding?
Li Yi was stunned for a moment.
"This...this project is very attractive,"
I reckon Mr. Lin would also be interested in participating.
Should I check with 'Xinwei Technology'?
"No."
He didn't need confirmation; he had a strong feeling that Weiwei would participate in the bidding.
She has always kept public and private matters separate.
For Xinwei Technology, this is a very attractive project, and there is no reason not to participate.
"Li Yi, book the fastest flight to Jiangcheng. I will personally take charge of this bidding process."
"Yes, Mr. Shi,"
The office returned to silence.
Shi Yanzhou walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling traffic of Blue City.
His eyes were firm.
This time, he will not stand idly by.
Even if the methods weren't exactly honorable, he would never let go of her hand again.
He wanted to compete fairly with Gu Jingcheng as the head of the Shi family.
