Chapter 23 Test
Lin Wei was absent-minded every day, constantly checking WeChat.
It's been three days.
Her WeChat messages with Gu Jingcheng ended with that one sentence.
"Mr. Gu, what have you decided regarding the chip licensing agreement?"
She wanted to wait for Gu Jingcheng's WeChat message.
But I've already asked several times, so it's not appropriate to urge them again.
Like Gu Jingcheng, a seasoned business elite.
Negotiation tactics were useless against him.
She could only wait passively.
If Gu Jingcheng doesn't want to give it to her, she won't be able to get it no matter how hard she tries.
She was well aware of the vast difference in their abilities.
I finally made it to the end of Friday's workday.
Lin Wei, exhausted, was about to go downstairs when she received a call from Zhao Qiluo.
Zhao Qiluo's voice came through the receiver, carrying a false enthusiasm.
"Weiwei, everything before was a misunderstanding. I apologize to you on behalf of Gu Xuan."
Lin Wei held her phone without saying a word, while the "apology" on the other end went on and on.
Having laid enough groundwork, Zhao Qiluo changed the subject.
"It's Auntie's birthday tomorrow night, you have to come, please do me a favor."
Lin Wei's gaze was sharp; it was the same old routine.
Zhao Qiluo is two-faced and a good actress.
"Mr. Zhao, you're too kind. It's really unfortunate, I have something to do tomorrow."
"Weiwei, I know your company is short of money. Come over tomorrow and pay back some of the money the Gu family owes you to tide you over."
Lin Wei's brow twitched; the company desperately needed money.
If the mother and child could repay part of the debt, it would be a viable solution.
"OK,"
Lin Wei hung up the phone without listening to her continue.
Zhao Qiluo's voice is nauseating to listen to even for a second longer.
Saturday night
Lin Wei put on light makeup and changed into a tracksuit.
Going to the Gu family is not worth her effort to dress up.
She drove to the Gu family villa.
Gu Xuan was wearing a flashy silver-gray suit, and his hair was neatly combed.
Holding a bouquet of pink roses, she stood at the door and saw Lin Wei's car come to a stop.
He jogged over, his face full of fawning flattery.
Lin Wei remained calm and took his arm as she slowly got out of the car.
Lin Yan saw this and gritted her teeth.
What a slut! She needs Brother Gu Xuan's help to get out of the car. Does she really think she's Empress Dowager Cixi?
"Weiwei, you're here! My mom knew you were coming, so she cooked for you herself."
“Brother Gu Xuan”.
Gu Xuan frowned as he watched Lin Yan get out of the passenger seat.
Fleeting.
"Sister Yan'er is here too."
The two pretended to be deliberately distant, and Lin Wei smiled faintly, thinking, "They're really good at acting."
They're always so close behind closed doors, but now they're all so reserved.
"I saw that Yan'er was idle at home, so I brought her along. I hope Auntie doesn't mind?"
Lin Wei's lips curled into a mocking smile as she looked at Gu Xuan's face.
"How could that be? Yan'er is your sister, just like my own sister! Come on in."
Lin Wei coldly withdrew her hand and walked towards the living room.
Gu Family Kitchen
The maid had already prepared a sumptuous dinner. Zhao Qiluo changed into an apron and pretended to cook in the kitchen.
Hearing the noise, she peeked out from the kitchen.
"Weiwei, please sit down first. I'll have another soup."
The table was laden with food, and Lin Wei looked up at Gu Xuan.
This scumbag is being unusually attentive today.
Things won't be that simple.
"Weiwei, my mom's still a while away, don't worry about her!"
"This is champagne that my mom specially air-freighted from abroad for you. Try it."
Gu Xuan opened the bottle and poured her a glass.
Lin Wei's gaze fell on the inside of the rim of the cup, where there was a small amount of white powder that had not yet dissolved.
Gu Xuan stared at her, his eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Lin Wei took the wine glass and sipped it, taking in the smug look in Gu Xuan's eyes.
Ha, scheming against her.
In her previous life, it was after drinking this glass of champagne that she tasted the bitterness of utter ruin.
She woke up naked and was lying on Gu Xuan's bed when Zhao Qiluo pulled her off the bed.
They called her shameless, a vixen, and ill-mannered.
Her parents wanted her to be happy.
She had to pay a dowry of 100 million yuan to barely persuade Zhao Qiluo to agree to let her into the family.
Lin Wei didn't drink it; she just touched the rim of the cup lightly and made a "sip" motion.
Then he took a napkin and dabbed at the corner of his lips.
He spat out the last drop of wine he had just taken a sip, without making a sound.
"Not bad, Yan'er, you should try it."
She took an empty glass and poured half of the champagne into it.
Gu Xuan frantically grabbed her hand.
"Weiwei, this was specially bought for you by my mother. It would be a waste if someone else drank it."
Lin Yan's face was pale, and she gripped the tablecloth tightly.
What does Gu Xuan mean? Does he also look down on her status as an illegitimate child and deliberately embarrass her?
Lin Wei's gaze suddenly darkened as she glanced at him.
"Yan'er is my younger sister!"
Gu Xuan released his hand with trembling hands and gave Lin Yan a meaningful look.
Lin Yan, however, was so engrossed in her anger that she was completely unaware of what was happening.
If my sister can drink alcohol, why can't she?
She picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"The wine that Auntie picked out is really delicious."
Zhao Qiluo came out of the kitchen and saw the empty wine glass in front of Lin Wei, understanding immediately.
"Weiwei, something urgent has come up at my company, so I can't have a drink with you."
She walked towards the door, then suddenly remembered that Lin Yan, who was in the way, was still there.
With a kind face, she said, "Yan'er, my leg hurts a bit, so it's inconvenient for me to drive. Could you give Auntie a ride?"
But Lin Yan didn't want to give her sister a chance to be alone with Gu Xuan.
"Auntie, my driver's license has been suspended, I can't drive."
Gu Xuan's palms were sweating. Lin Yan had drunk that glass of wine; if she left now, there would definitely be problems.
"Mom, I'll take care of things here. You can go ahead and get busy."
Their eyes met, and Zhao Qiluo turned and left, locking the door behind her.
"Lin Wei, let's see where you run now."
The living room fell silent instantly, and the servants sensibly withdrew.
Only the three of them remained.
Lin Wei ate her food at a leisurely pace.
Gu Xuan looked at Lin Wei, feeling as if a claw was scratching at his heart.
Why isn't she collapsing yet? The drug should be taking effect quickly!
Could it be... that the dosage is insufficient?
Or did something go wrong?
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Gu Xuan's forehead, and a surge of heat rose from his lower abdomen.
Lin Wei's cool and gentle face became extremely alluring in his eyes.
Seeing Gu Xuan's unusual behavior, Lin Wei stood up.
"I'm going to the restroom."
"slight……"
Gu Xuan called out to her anxiously, but only felt a wisp of air, carrying a faint scent of mint.
His gaze shifted to Lin Yan, and he instinctively grabbed her wrist, his eyes clouded.
He couldn't care less about anything else; it felt like a million ants were crawling on his chest.
Lin Yan on the other side wasn't much better off.
Her cheeks were flushed, her body was hot, and she was breathing heavily.
My body feels like it's on fire, it's so uncomfortable.
"Brother Gu Xuan, Auntie's wine..."
A chill ran through Lin Yan's heart; this was originally meant for her sister.
Therefore, Brother Gu Xuan plans to...
Gu Xuan's hand had already touched her slender waist, and a jolt of electricity sent shivers through her heart.
"No...no, Brother Gu Xuan, not now..."
Lin Yan didn't want to give herself to Gu Xuan so quickly.
Her mother told her,
Once a man has easily tasted a woman's body, he will no longer cherish it.
"Yan'er, don't worry, I will always only love you, please give yourself to me."
"Sweetie, let's go to my room..."
