Chapter 43 Waiting
Chen Jinhuai held his phone, his eyelids lowered, deep in thought.
He paused, then stubbed out his cigarette.
His voice was hoarse.
"Miss Bai, I certainly have no problem with that."
Hang up the phone.
Chen Jinhuai opened WeChat, looked at Lin Wei's profile picture, his eyes filled with an unfathomable expression.
He should take some action.
Gu Jingcheng, I will take away everything you care about, little by little.
Chen Jinhuai's fingers flew across the screen as he typed a message and clicked the send button.
"Ms. Lin, I'm so sorry for scratching your car. Would you do me the honor of having a meal with me if it's convenient?"
Consider it my apology.
After doing all this, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Lying quietly on the sofa, waiting for the prey to take the bait!
Lin Wei is currently looking at the information about Huaijin Group.
From its establishment to its operation.
She also asked Shen Qingqing to use her lawyer connections to find some information that couldn't be found online.
Lin Wei saw a familiar name in an equity structure diagram.
"Bai's Group." Holding a 10% stake.
Lin Wei gripped the document tightly, leaving a crease in the paper.
It felt like a needle pricked my heart.
In my previous life.
Bai Wanwan, the heiress of the Bai Group, is Gu Jingcheng's nominal marriage partner.
She died before she saw them get married.
But this marriage was common knowledge in Jiangcheng.
Moreover, after the Lin Group went bankrupt...
It was acquired by the Bai Group at a price below market value...
Is it a coincidence?
Lin Wei rubbed her temples.
It was already noon, and she hadn't eaten yet.
The Lin Group is located in a business district where office buildings are concentrated in Jiangcheng.
They also have their own staff canteen.
But now it's past mealtime.
Lin Wei simply ordered a takeout meal.
After quickly finishing his meal, he threw himself back into his work.
She tried hard to recall the timeline of the Lin Group's bankruptcy in her previous life.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
In her previous life, she followed Gu Xuan's advice.
After all the company's funds were used to invest in a new energy project.
The other party absconded with the money, and all of Lin's investments vanished overnight, causing his cash flow to break down.
On the verge of bankruptcy.
It was around that time that Gu Xuan became the head of the Gu Group.
Later, my father suffered a stroke, and my mother died on the cruise ship.
The Lin family was acquired by the Bai Group, and she was imprisoned and tortured by Lin Yan.
He died a horrible death in the street!
In this life, she didn't encounter that new energy project.
But according to the timeline, that project of Huaijin Group...
It matches all the traits perfectly.
Everything just happened to be on the timeline.
When the Lin family began to decline.
The Huaijin Group's project came out of nowhere, with a budget twice as high as the market average.
That's when she started thinking about it.
For this project, she even planned to take out a bank loan and stake everything...
Lin Wei felt sticky on her back, and a sense of destiny enveloped her.
Could it be that after being reborn, even if she changed some things based on her memories of her previous life,
But is that still not enough to change the Lin Group's fate of going bankrupt?
What's the point of all this?
Sudden,
The phone on the table lit up slightly.
Lin Wei opened WeChat and saw a message from Chen Jinhuai.
"Miss Lin, I'm so sorry for scratching your car. Would you do me the honor of having a meal with me?"
Consider it my apology.
Lin Wei raised an eyebrow. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
Since marrying Gu Xuan can change the outcome, then the Lin family's bankruptcy...
Why can't it be changed?
She doesn't believe in fate, she only believes in herself!
"Mr. Chen, you're too kind. I'm honored."
A moment later, Chen Jinhuai sent an address.
"See you at the HSBC Hotel Chinese Restaurant at 7:30 PM!"
Lin Wei put down her phone, her gaze darkening.
What is the relationship between Chen Jinhuai and Bai Wanwan...?
On the other side
Gu Jingcheng returned to the hotel and sat on a single sofa by the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside the window, neon lights flickered.
The crowds moved like tiny ants crawling along the road.
The room was silent, with only the warm yellow light from the bedside lamp.
A profound sense of loneliness weighed on his chest.
He loosened his tie and rummaged in his pocket.
I touched the smooth, cool metal casing.
The phone screen lit up, and Gu Jingcheng aimlessly scrolled through the WeChat list.
Ultimately, the focus shifted to Lin Wei's WeChat profile picture.
It was just an ordinary profile picture, and a blurry street scene that seemed to be at dawn.
Gu Jingcheng's memory flashed back to that night, when she looked at him with hazy, drunken eyes.
She hooked his chin and looked at him intently.
He was inexplicably attracted to her.
Lin Wei's gentle and aloof face lingered in his mind.
With a hint of temptation, it scratched the most sensitive spot on his heart.
He walked into the bathroom, feeling agitated.
Gu Jingcheng knew he needed to calm down.
Perhaps it was because he was in a foreign land that his thoughts were particularly chaotic.
I often think of that memory.
The cold water flowed down his hair.
It fell on his cheek.
They converge into streams along the jawline.
Trying to extinguish the vexation in my heart.
Gu Jingcheng subconsciously clenched his fist and slammed it against the cold, damp tile wall.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud and a sharp pain in his hand pulled him back to reality.
What's wrong with him...?
After calming down, Gu Jingcheng dried himself off, changed into a white hotel bathrobe, and walked out of the bathroom.
Bai Wanwan was holding a bottle of red wine.
She pulled the V-neck of her shirt down a little further.
Her skin was revealed to be smooth and lustrous like jade.
She straightened her back, making the cleavage appear even deeper.
She raised her hand and knocked on Gu Jingcheng's room door.
There was silence for a few seconds inside the door.
Pulling open a crack, a rush of air, carrying the dampness of the bathroom, rushed in.
Gu Jingcheng was wearing a white bathrobe.
The collar was loosely draped, revealing a small patch of firm chest.
Water droplets dripped down the wet ends of her hair.
Bai Wanwan blushed and bit her lip.
"Brother Jingcheng, I didn't know you were taking a shower. Sorry to bother you."
Her voice was charming, with a hint of affectation.
"What's up?"
“Brother Jingcheng, you haven’t had lunch yet, so I brought a bottle of good wine with me.”
Seeing that Gu Jingcheng didn't move, Bai Wanwan turned sideways and slipped through the crack in the door like a slippery fish.
He walked straight to the coffee table in the small living room, bent down and put down the wine bottle.
“Jingcheng, I’m all alone in America. It’s rare for you to come here, let’s have a drink together.”
Then pour the red wine into the glass.
The powder dissolved at the bottom of the cup without leaving a trace.
Gu Jingcheng sat down opposite her.
Looking at Bai Wanwan's innocent and harmless face.
A barely perceptible glint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Are you still in contact with Chen Jinhuai?
Bai Wanwan's hand tightened slightly on the wine glass.
A flicker of panic crossed his eyes.
Trying to remain calm.
"Brother Jingcheng, he is the murderer who killed my sister."
How could I possibly have any contact with him?
Gu Jingcheng narrowed his eyes, a dark light flashing in them.
His voice was slightly hoarse.
"I heard he returned to China and is now the general manager of Huaijin Group."
Did you know?
Bai Wanwan's expression stiffened, and she subconsciously put down her cup.
Her eyes darted away, avoiding Gu Jingcheng's deep gaze.
My palms were soaked with sweat.
