Chapter 63 I Have Someone I Like
These past few days, Lin Wei has been focusing all her attention on the company.
Ever since her uncle came to the company demanding the five million yuan, and she got him arrested and detained for several days...
For the past few months, my uncle's place has been eerily quiet.
They never bothered me again.
But Lin Wei knew her greedy and vengeful uncle all too well.
It was just a temporary act of honesty.
This temporary peace and quiet allowed her to catch her breath.
He devoted all his energy to the company, which was in dire straits.
In addition, Chen Nian, her most trusted personal secretary in her previous life,
This time, the two got into a fight because the police station accused the uncle.
Her uncle revealed everything about the kickbacks she had squeezed out of the company over the years!
Chen Nian was sentenced to several years in prison for embezzlement of a large sum of money.
All of her illegal gains were recovered, and the company was able to recover some of its losses.
With these internal and external troubles gone, Lin Wei's tense nerves relaxed slightly.
She needed to act quickly, before news of her father's case arrived.
Do everything you can to stabilize the company.
The company suddenly hired two former employees.
People's hearts are wavering.
Lin Wei reorganized key business units.
We need to streamline backlogged projects and repair the company's business chain.
After a series of reforms, the company is getting back up and running.
Although we are still far from fully recovering, at least we are no longer in a state where we could collapse at any moment.
In the afternoon, Lin Wei bought some daily necessities and went to visit her father.
She wanted to tell her father about the company's recent situation so that he could rest assured.
At the same time, she told her father that she was going to marry Gu Jingcheng.
To give my father something to look forward to.
-
Through the thick glass, Lin Yaocheng, the father, appeared on the other side, led by a prison guard.
Lin Wei's heart suddenly tightened.
In just a few months, my father seemed to have aged ten years.
His temples were frosted with white, and his back had become somewhat hunched.
The drab gray prison uniform clung to him, looking jarringly empty.
A wave of bitterness suddenly rushed to Lin Wei's nose. She took a few deep breaths and forced herself to hold back the tears.
She couldn't cry in front of her father.
Lin Wei picked up the intercom and tried to put on a smile.
"Dad... I brought you some things."
When Lin Yaocheng saw his daughter, a glimmer of light appeared in his dim eyes.
A forced smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His voice was hoarse.
"Weiwei is here."
"Dad, are you alright?"
"Okay, okay, don't worry about Dad. He can eat and sleep well inside."
Lin Yaocheng's gaze lingered on his daughter's face.
During the time he was here, all the pressure was placed on his daughter, who was only in her early twenties.
Inside, her elder brother was eyeing her covetously; outside, Gu Xuan and his mother harbored treacherous intentions.
Thinking of this, he felt a pang of guilt and heartache.
Lin Wei leaned forward slightly, her tone firm.
"Dad, don't worry, the company is back on track now, and Uncle hasn't caused any trouble."
"Wait a little longer, let me find out the truth, and then I'll come get you!"
Lin Yaocheng felt a mix of emotions.
A moment of silence.
"Weiwei, about Dad's matter... just do your best, don't push yourself too hard."
"Dad, don't say that!"
Lin Wei's eyes welled up with tears, but she ultimately held them back.
"Dad, I'm getting married!"
Lin Yaocheng suddenly raised his head, his previously dull eyes widening abruptly.
"marry?!"
"Weiwei, are you serious?! With whom? Is he good to you?"
Lin Wei's heart ached as if it were being pricked by needles.
I forced back the bitterness in my heart.
“It’s true, Dad. He…you know him too. It’s Gu Jingcheng.”
"Gu...Gu Jingcheng?"
A complex look flashed in Lin Yaocheng's eyes. Gu Jingcheng was Gu Xuan's uncle.
"Weiwei, you're not lying to me? Have you really let go of Gu Xuan?"
If it's to spite Gu Xuan, don't do anything foolish.
"Dad, I didn't do anything stupid! I'm serious."
Lin Yaocheng's brows relaxed slightly.
From a young age, my daughter has been a calm and opinionated person who doesn't easily say things she's not sure about.
"Weiwei, whatever decision you make, Dad will support you."
Gu Jingcheng is the head of the Gu family, and he is ruthless in the business world and has a powerful background.
If it's true, then it means my daughter has a strong support system!
No need to work so hard anymore.
Perhaps his wrongful conviction will one day be brought to light.
Lin Yaocheng's withered hands were pressed tightly against the glass.
"Weiwei, Dad is so happy for you!"
"dad,"
Lin Wei's voice softened.
"You must take good care of yourself. When you get out... Jingcheng and I... will take you home."
Here's some tea for you.
"Okay! Okay! Dad will definitely be fine! I'm looking forward to drinking your wedding wine!"
Just wait and see my Weiwei become a bride!
Lin Wei choked up, her father had loved and cherished her all his life.
The visit has ended.
Lin Wei stood there, watching her father disappear behind the door.
The forced smile on her face instantly crumbled.
He was left looking exhausted.
She traded a marriage of convenience with an uncertain future for a brief moment of spurring on her father's spirits.
And the belief in living.

7:00 PM
Gu Family Old House
Gu Huojun sat at the dining table with a gloomy expression.
"Butler Song, call that wretched boy and tell him to come back right now."
15 minutes later.
A black Rolls-Royce was parked in front of the old house.
The car door opened, and Gu Jingcheng stepped out with long, steady steps.
He walked straight through the corridor and headed towards the brightly lit living room.
In the living room, Gu Huojun sat on the sofa with a stern face.
"Dad, you wanted to see me?"
Gu Huojun looked at him, feeling disappointed and disappointed.
"You still know to come back? I thought you'd grown up and forgotten which way the front door faces!"
Gu Jingcheng didn't reply. He walked to the single sofa next to him and sat down.
Legs crossed.
Gu Yinuo scurried out of the room.
Looking at the two adults, both with stern faces.
He slunk away to Aunt Wang to ask for dessert after dinner.
The living room returned to quiet.
"I'll tell you to get to know the Li family's daughter."
"How many times has that girl asked you out these past few days, and you haven't gone even once?"
"Gu Jingcheng, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"You're already 32, and they didn't mind your age, but you've already made a picky choice?"
Gu Jingcheng frowned slightly.
"Li Zhiyao is not my type."
Gu Jingcheng paused, then added a sentence.
"I have no feelings for her."
"You didn't feel anything?!"
Gu Huojun slammed his hand on the sofa armrest, causing the tea to splash out.
The veins on his forehead throbbed.
"Gu Jingcheng! You think you can eat this?"
"What makes Li Zhiyao unworthy of you?"
Gu Huojun became increasingly angry as he spoke.
"Tell me! What type do you like?"
You choose! Go ahead and pick whatever you want! I want to see it all.
What kind of celestial beauty could you possibly pick out!
Don't tell me you're 32 and don't want to get married! Being a family man is a disgrace!
"Who says I won't get married?"
"I have someone I like."
Gu Jingcheng's voice was calm.
Gu Huojun's anger was stuck in his throat as he looked at his youngest son in disbelief.
Does he have someone he likes? When did that happen?
How come he didn't hear a thing?
"You...you're not going to make up lies to appease me!"
Gu Jingcheng got up and took a bottle of soda water from the refrigerator.
I unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
We're getting married soon.
