Chapter 203 Your uncle has been waiting for you for a long time.
The night was deep.
Lin Wei drove her car into the traffic.
After working continuously for more than ten hours, the sun was blazing down.
Exhaustion weighed on her shoulders and neck.
Originally, the plan was only to stay in Blue City for one day.
After reviewing the progress of each project, I returned to Jiangcheng.
But now, she has to change her plans.
During project progress meetings, the person in charge downplayed the important issues in their reports.
At their workstations, many people were staring blankly at their phone screens, lost in thought.
The keyboard clicks were sparse and intermittent.
A relaxed atmosphere permeated the entire company.
At this rate, let alone making a profit, even the most basic project delivery will become a problem.
If the deadline is missed, not only will a penalty fee be charged,
The reputation that "Xinwei Technology" has worked so hard to build will be destroyed in an instant.
She needs at least another week to reform the company's culture.
Lin Wei sighed and looked at the mottled traffic and neon lights ahead.
I glanced at the clock on the dashboard.
It's already 9:30, Xin Xin should be asleep by now.
A pang of guilt rose in her heart, and she freed one hand to make a phone call to Lin Yaocheng.
"Dad, is Xin Xin asleep?"
"I just fell asleep, hugging that plush rabbit, sleeping very soundly."
"I got a little red flower at kindergarten today, and I was so happy when I got home."
I insisted on waiting for you to come back, but you didn't come, and I even shed two golden tears.
Lin Wei felt a pang in her heart.
"Dad, things aren't going well for me in Blue City. I estimate I won't be able to go back for another week."
Thank you for taking such good care of Xinxin these past few days.
“What’s so hard about this? Xinxin is my granddaughter.”
Seeing her makes me happy.
Lin Yaocheng spoke with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"But your brother, that kid, is always so irresponsible!"
I've recently become obsessed again, pursuing my ex-girlfriend whom I broke up with several years ago in the US.
Her name is Yan. She's so mysterious, she won't say anything.
When you come back, try to find out what's going on with Dad when you have time.
That kid's a good-for-nothing; he's the only one who'll listen to you.
"I understand, Dad."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wei recalled the events in her mind.
She did have a vague recollection of Zhao Yan, though it was from many years ago.
My younger brother was studying in the United States at the time, and his love was passionate and intense.
This was the first time she had ever seen Lin Yanlin so distraught after breaking up with a girl.
It caused a huge uproar.
After breaking up for so many years, how did they manage to get back together?
The neon lights outside the window flowed, casting flickering shadows on her face.
The younger brother still can't forget his ex-girlfriend, whom he broke up with so many years ago.
...It seems like it's "true love".
-
Phoenix Villa District.
Gu Jingcheng stood disheveled in front of Lin Wei's dark villa gate.
My legs were a little sore, so I laid my suitcase horizontally on the ground and plopped down on it.
He had never waited for anyone like this in his entire life.
He managed to bribe the security guards to sneak in.
For a full three hours, they still hadn't seen a trace of Lin Wei.
He casually draped his suit jacket over the handle of his suitcase, and the top two buttons of his shirt collar were undone.
A few strands of hair fell across her forehead.
It looks exactly like a large, abandoned dog.
He took out his phone, turned it on and off, his fingertip hovering over Lin Wei's number, but he couldn't bring himself to press it.
He was afraid that if she found out he was here, he wouldn't come back tonight.
That woman is capable of doing it.
The night wind swept through the treetops, making him shiver.
She subconsciously wrapped her thin shirt tighter around herself, looking pitiful.
Gu Jingcheng mocked himself inwardly.
If his old rivals in the business world saw him like this,
They'll definitely laugh at them for a long time.
Gu Jingcheng awkwardly put on his suit jacket and wrapped it around himself even more.
Woman, if you don't come back soon, he'll freeze to death.
Lin Wei's car slowly drove into the Phoenix Villa District.
The night light is soft.
The security personnel quickly emerged from the guard post, their faces beaming with warm smiles.
"Mr. Lin, you're back."
"Your uncle has been waiting for you for a long time. I think he's been standing at the door for two or three hours."
It's strangely chilly today.
Lin Wei's fingers tightened for a moment.
What uncle?
It wasn't shown on his face.
"Okay, thank you."
Lin Wei drove the car towards her own villa.
Sure enough, there was a blurry figure under the landscape lights at the entrance.
As the distance closed, the figure's silhouette became increasingly familiar...
Until the car headlights swept across the man's face, which was still excessively handsome despite his weariness.
Lin Wei's gaze lingered on Gu Jingcheng for a moment before she indifferently looked away.
Drive the car into the garage, turn off the engine, and get out of the car.
The entire process was conducted calmly without any extraneous emotions.
She walked to the villa's front door, used her fingerprint to scan the code, and pushed the door open to go inside.
Just as she was about to turn around and close the door,
A large, well-defined hand braced against the door.
"President Lin."
Lin Wei frowned and turned to glare at him.
Gu Jingcheng's long legs had already nimbly wedged themselves in.
He peeked halfway into the entryway, his body carrying the cool air from outside.
Lin Wei coldly withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at him, and turned to walk into the house.
Gu Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his suitcase, and squeezed in awkwardly.
