Chapter 196 Gu Jingcheng, what are you doing?
Inside the banquet hall, Bai Wanwan stood in a corner.
He gripped the slender stem of the wine glass with his fingertips, almost breaking it.
Her gaze was fixed on the direction Gu Jingcheng and Lin Wei had left in.
A vicious look appeared on his face.
Lin Wei, you disappeared for five years, why did you come back?
She's been relentlessly trying to seduce Brother Jingcheng ever since she got back. What gives her the right?
She tilted her head back and downed the rest of the champagne in one gulp.
She waited for Gu Jingcheng for 5 years, but in those 5 years, she couldn't even catch a glimpse of him.
Why is it that she couldn't get what she had worked hard for five years?
Does Lin Wei immediately capture his full attention?
She couldn't win over her beloved older sister back then, so why now...?
She can't even compete with Lin Wei, who disappeared for five years?
She was unwilling to accept it.
Bai Jifeng glanced coldly at his daughter.
His tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"Useless thing, all these years, I haven't seen any progress between you and Gu Jingcheng."
"Even less useful than your dead sister!"
She trembled and looked at her father.
Bai Jifeng's eyes were cunning.
"Back then, at least your sister had her life."
This has earned the Bai family the Gu family's favor in business over the years. And what about you?
"You have the same face as your sister, so why can't you capture Gu Jingcheng's heart?"
Have all the resources I've invested in you over the years been wasted?
Bai Wanwan clenched her fists, concealing the surging hatred in her eyes.
"Dad, if my sister can do it, I can definitely do it too."
Moreover, I will do better than her.
She paused, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.
"She shouldn't have come back..."
Bai Jifeng then gave a satisfied hum.
"That's more like a daughter of the Bai family."
"I'll take you to the dinner party tonight. Get ready."
Dressed just like your sister, Gu Jingcheng still can't let go of Qianqian after all these years.
This time, I'll slip something into his drink, and you can take the opportunity to take him to a hotel room.
"Once we've made it a fait accompli, I'll get the reporters to expose it. Then he'll have no choice but to marry you."
Bai Wanwan's eyes lit up, and a sense of anticipation welled up in her heart.
"Thank you, Dad. I promise I won't let you down."

Inside the restroom.
Lin Wei cupped a handful of cold water to wash her face.
The brief coolness cleared her mind somewhat.
Inside the restroom.
Lin Wei turned on the tap and splashed a handful of cold water on her face.
Water droplets slid down her cheeks, bringing a moment of clarity.
The few glasses of wine she had just drunk made her cheeks flush and her head feel slightly tipsy.
There's a dinner appointment tonight, but in my current state, I can't go talk to General Manager Li about the project.
She pulled out a few tissues and used them to wipe the water droplets from her face.
Looking at my tired self in the mirror.
After tidying up her slightly messy hair, she decided to go back to the car to rest first.
Make sure you're well-rested before dealing with the evening's events.
As soon as she stepped out of the restroom, her arm was suddenly grabbed, and her back was pressed against the cold wall.
Lin Wei let out a muffled groan, looked up in surprise, and met a pair of dark eyes churning within her.
His tall frame loomed over her, trapping her between him and the wall.
His flashy pink suit was slightly open, and his tie was a bit loose.
A few strands of her neatly combed hair fell across her forehead.
He exudes a wild and dangerous aura.
"Gu Jingcheng, what are you doing?"
Lin Wei did not struggle, but calmly stared at him with her eyes.
Gu Jingcheng suppressed his intense jealousy and spoke in a steady voice, as if reciting a text.
"Li Jun, 28 years old, the young master of the Li Group, is a well-known playboy in Jiangcheng."
You're currently dating two girlfriends, do you want to be the third?
His face drew closer to hers, his warm breath carrying a faint scent of wine.
Lin Wei found it amusing; she had only spent a little longer with Li Jun.
He then had someone investigate Li Jun's background.
Five years ago they had no connection whatsoever. Five years later, why are they putting on this act of being unable to let go? Who are they trying to impress?
Lin Wei met his gaze, which burned with a dark fire, without flinching.
He acted frivolously and said hurtful things.
"Mr. Gu, you have a good imagination. Let me remind you again."
I already have a fiancé.
Moreover, my fiancé is your former good brother.
"Never covet your brother's wife, have you never heard of that saying?"
"Besides, even if I weren't engaged,"
I would also like a cute, cuddly guy like Li Jun.
Young, energetic, and good at making people happy. Got it?
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Only the sound of their intertwined breaths remained in the corridor.
Gu Jingcheng stared at her, his chest heaving, his pink suit seeming like a silent mockery.
They mocked his unrequited love.
A few seconds later, Gu Jingcheng chuckled softly.
She took a step back, creating an overly ambiguous distance between them.
His eyes gleamed with an even more obsessive light.
"Good...very good."
