Chapter 35 Kneeling down to beg her
Dinner is halfway through.
Lin Wei turned to the side and took out a blue velvet gift box.
He handed it to Gu Jingcheng somewhat awkwardly.
"Mr. Gu, this is a gift for you. Thank you for signing the authorization agreement."
This is just a small token of my appreciation; I hope you'll accept it.
Gu Jingcheng's jealousy had not subsided.
My gaze fell on the box, and my heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something.
His face, however, remained as indifferent as ever.
"I don't accept gifts from the opposite sex."
Lin Wei gritted her teeth secretly, she should have expected that Gu Jingcheng would refuse.
He was a privileged young man, pampered and cherished by women.
How could I possibly be interested in such a small gift from her?
Lin Wei was feeling a little down, but she quickly tried to cheer herself up.
"This... only represents a small token of appreciation from the Lin Group, not from me personally."
Gu Jingcheng raised an eyebrow and reached out to open the velvet box.
A silver-gray men's wristwatch lay quietly inside.
Gu Jingcheng's handsome face stiffened, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes.
This watch…did she choose it on purpose? Did she pay attention to his preferences?
He looked up and met Lin Wei's expectant gaze, his hand pausing.
"It's just so-so."
Lin Wei's eyes dimmed for a moment, her long eyelashes drooping down, casting a deeper shadow on her eyelids.
A proud and aloof chosen one, a figure standing at the very top of the pyramid.
What kind of gift haven't I seen?
Why would he care about her ordinary, unremarkable watch?
"Since Mr. Gu doesn't like it, then... I..."
Gu Jingcheng quickly closed the box and put it aside.
"Have a meal."
Back at the Gu family's old house.
Gu Jingcheng clutched the velvet box.
He hurried into the room.
"Uncle, uncle."
Gu Yinuo, holding a small yellow plush dog, waddled towards him.
"Uncle, you're lying. Grandpa didn't take me to the ice cream all-you-can-eat."
"I'm going to tell Grandpa that you went on a date with Weiwei today and didn't take me with you. Waaaaah..."
That's how children are; they can cry on a whim.
Gu Jingcheng hurriedly tried to comfort him.
In the end, she carried him into her room.
He carefully placed the velvet box on the table before patting Gu Yinuo's head.
"Okay, Uncle is going to discuss work, not go on a date."
Gu Yinuo didn't believe it, and crossed her two chubby little hands in front of her chest.
"Uncle is lying. He went on a date with Weiwei without me. I'm never going to be friends with Uncle again."
Gu Jingcheng rubbed his temples.
A ringing bell broke the tense atmosphere.
Gu Jingcheng looked at the profile picture on the screen, his face darkening.
He hung up immediately.
Undeterred, they attacked again.
"Jingcheng, why did you hang up on me just now?"
It's Bai Wanwan.
"I was busy just now."
Upon hearing Bai Wanwan's voice, Gu Yinuo excitedly snatched the phone.
"Sister Wanwan, Uncle went on a date with Weiwei without me."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Bai Wanwan gripped her phone slightly tighter, feeling as if a knife had been stabbed into her heart.
What originally belonged to her was about to be taken away.
Did they start dating so soon?
We can't wait any longer.
She needs to go back as soon as possible.
Bai Wanwan suppressed her anger and spoke softly.
"Nono, be a good girl, give the phone to your uncle, okay?"
"No, Uncle is unpacking the gift Weiwei gave him right now."
Bai Wanwan's eyes grew even colder, her expression turning sinister.
They've revealed their true colors so quickly.
Not content with getting close to Gu Xuan, she's now even trying to seduce Gu Jingcheng.
You bitch!
"Nono, I need to talk to your uncle. Be good, I'll buy you chocolate when I get back."
Gu Yinuo's eyes sparkled.
"good!"
She then handed the phone to Gu Jingcheng.
He happily carried the dog back to his children's room.
"What's up?"
Gu Jingcheng closed the box, afraid that Gu Yinuo would come back and mess with it again, and put it in the drawer.
He picked up his phone and sat down on the sofa to answer it.
Bai Wanwan pursed her lips, trying to appear calm.
In a soft tone, she said, "Brother Jingcheng, I'm going back to China next month. Will you come pick me up?"
"Doesn't your Bai family have a driver?"
Bai Wanwan clenched her teeth tightly.
"No... My dad said I should spend more time with you. You know, my dad..."
"If you hadn't come to pick me up, I don't know what my dad might have done."
"Jingcheng, could you do me a favor?"
Bai Wanwan's sobbing came through the receiver.
Gu Jingcheng frowned, his mind in turmoil.
"Okay, I understand."
"Thank you, Brother Jingcheng. I knew you would agree. I..."
"Is there anything else?"
Gu Jingcheng interrupted impatiently.
"No...nothing more. Well then, Jingcheng, get some rest. I'll hang up now."
"Um."
Gu Jingcheng casually tossed his phone onto the table and carefully took the velvet box out of the drawer.
He took out the silver watch.
My fingers brushed against the cool metal strap and blue dial.
A slight smile curved his lips.
Gu Jingcheng put the watch on his wrist, and the size was just right.
The watch face rests against the skin, providing a slightly cool sensation.
Gu Jingcheng raised his wrist and looked at it again and again.
Hmm...it doesn't seem so "ordinary" after all.
The king of villas in Jiangcheng.
Chen Jinhuai sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, a cigarette between his fingers and his legs crossed.
The room light fell on the man's face.
His features were cold and arrogant, his jaw was thin, and he had a handsome appearance.
Yet he possessed a pair of amber eyes that screamed ambition and arrogance.
Cold and ruthless.
On the coffee table were a dozen photos of Lin Wei in various occasions.
Chen Jinhuai held a champagne glass in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, revealing a silver watch on his wrist.
He took a picture of himself holding a champagne bottle with his phone.
The silver watch is extremely eye-catching.
He then posted the photo on his WeChat Moments with the caption, "I really like it!"
He set the permissions to "visible only to Gu Jingcheng".
After doing all this, a sense of satisfaction rose in his gloomy eyes.
He got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Lin Wei got home at 9:00.
To avoid suspicion, she did not let Gu Jingcheng escort her to her doorstep.
Instead, it stopped on the side of the road.
She walked back across the road, which took about 10 minutes.
As soon as I arrived at the villa gate, I saw a petite figure kneeling on the ground.
When she came over.
He crawled to her feet and cried pitifully.
"Sister, I know I was wrong. I've done so many things to offend you over the years."
"Please forgive me and let me come back. I can't stay in that house anymore."
Please, sister, I'm willing to be your slave, I'll work as a servant for the Lin family.
I can also live in the nanny's room.
Please let me come back to live here, okay?
It's Lin Yan!
Lin Wei clenched her fists.
In her previous life, she had also knelt at Lin Yan's feet in the same way.
She begged Lin Yan to let her go, pleading with her to consider their years of friendship.
For the sake of the baby in her womb, let her off the hook.
She could give Lin's entire fortune to her, and then find a quiet place to give birth to the child.
Lin Yan touched her swollen belly, smiling broadly.
"Sister, of course I can spare you."
"After all, my uncle and aunt have been so good to me."
She naively thought that Lin Yan was going to let her go.
But then Lin Yan, with a ferocious expression, poured boiling water onto her face.
The pain of her skin being scalded by boiling water was deeply etched in her memory.
Lin Wei's body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
"Yan'er, you're asking me to forgive you?"
