Chapter 66: Leaving Gu Xuan far behind
Shi Nuan deliberately shoved her phone in front of Lin Wei's face again.
"Look, this is fresh out of the oven. Gu Jingcheng really is walking hormones."
She is the center of attention wherever she goes.
But since you said you have no feelings for him, that's perfect, it saves you a lot of trouble!
His flirtatious nature is no match for you, the wealthy and handsome CEO Lin.
Look at this spectacle, why bother joining in the fun?
Shi Nuan's words struck a nerve with Lin Wei.
A sour, astringent feeling rushed into my nasal cavity.
She took a breath and forced herself to look away.
"What's so strange about that? Someone of his status and position..."
Isn't it normal to have women around you?
"Okay, that's clear. Men are like clothes; if one doesn't work, we'll change!"
Actually, that night in the private room,
Although Shi Nuan was drunk, she clearly saw Gu Jingcheng's entanglement with Lin Wei.
The two left together...
She would be the first to disbelieve that Gu Jingcheng didn't have those kinds of feelings for Lin Wei.
She had just been worried that Lin Wei would suffer because she had taken a liking to Gu Jingcheng.
Now it seems that her friend never had any feelings for him at all.
She felt much more at ease.
That kind of man is not someone an ordinary woman can handle.
She didn't want Lin Wei to have just crawled out of that quagmire that Gu Xuan had created.
She jumped into Gu Jingcheng's fire pit again.
A strange, bittersweet feeling welled up in Lin Wei's heart.
I kept brainwashing myself.
She only wanted the position of Mrs. Gu; his heart was unimportant.
She stood up abruptly, her hasty movement knocking over a cushion on the sofa armrest.
It rolled onto the carpet.
"I...I'm going to the restroom."
-
Inside the restroom,
Lin Wei scooped up a handful of cold water and washed her face.
The icy touch couldn't dispel the suffocating feeling that was stuck in her chest.
He also went to support Jiang Kai's club opening.
That place... she could imagine it.
He seemed to enjoy being surrounded by those beautifully dressed women.
This thought, like a tiny thorn, pierced Lin Wei's heart.
Lin Wei took out a cushion lipstick and touched up her makeup.
A woman's voice came from the cubicle.
"Sister V, don't worry, I've already gone on a blind date with Gu Jingcheng, and his father is very satisfied with me."
We'll definitely get engaged within six months.
Lin Wei's hand, which was touching up her makeup, suddenly stopped, leaving an awkward mark on her cheek from the cushion puff.
Li Zhiyao!
"Sister V, you know what I mean, right? Once the news gets out, and the hype starts, how can you not become a star?"
Those fashion resources and high-end endorsements, aren't they all just a piece of cake for them?
Lin Wei's fingertips were icy cold; the sobering sensation brought by the cold water had vanished.
The dull pain in my chest returned, accompanied by a sour feeling, rushing straight to my nose and eyes.
Gu Jingcheng...
He really has a lot of luck with women, he's got women all around him!
Lin Wei raised her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her face was pale, and her lips had been unconsciously bitten until they lost their color.
It felt as if I had swallowed an unripe green plum; the sourness traveled from the tip of my tongue all the way to my heart.
My throat felt tight.
He could go to Jiang Kai's club and enjoy being the center of attention;
She can even go on blind dates with female celebrities like Li Zhiyao, and be used as a source of bragging rights and a tool to advance her career...
And her? What is she?
Lin Wei forcefully twisted off the cap of the lipstick, and the vibrant lipstick was heavily applied to her lips.
The action carried a ruthless, cathartic quality.
Then, take a deep breath, force yourself to straighten your back, and close the lipstick cap.
Who he goes on blind dates with, who surrounds him... what does it have to do with her?
Lin Wei turned around and left the restroom, only to bump into Shi Nuan, who was anxiously looking for her.
"Weiwei! Are you alright? You've been gone for so long..."
Lin Wei opened her mouth and forced a smile.
"It's nothing, just touching up my makeup. Let's go."
The two returned to the private room, where it was still lively.
Lin Wei, however, seemed lost in thought and absent-minded.
"Weiwei, what are you daydreaming about?"
Sister Shan's voice interrupted her thoughts, and her sharp gaze fell on Lin Wei.
"Honestly, Weiwei, your temperament, your features, especially your eyes..."
It's cool and serene, yet full of a story; the camera work is absolutely stunning!
Interested in trying your hand at the entertainment industry?
I'll sign you! I guarantee I'll make you the next Shi Nuan!
Lin Wei snapped out of her daze and burst into laughter in surprise.
"Sister Shanshan, please stop joking with me. I'm not cut out for that."
She took it as a common compliment among adults and politely declined.
Sister Shanshan looked regretful.
"What a waste of such a face that God gave him."
-
It was 9:00 when we left Haojiang No. 8.
Lin Wei dragged her tired body.
Start the pink Bentley,
We returned to the Lin family villa.
The pink Bentley slowly drove into the Lin family villa through its ornate iron gate, its headlights illuminating the front courtyard.
Lin Wei was about to drive the car towards the garage when her gaze suddenly sharpened.
Under the porch light at the entrance of the villa, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, entirely black, was parked.
As the car drew closer, she could see the figure in the driver's seat.
The man tilted his head slightly, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.
His cool, stern profile appeared even more profound in the dim light.
His jawline was taut, exuding an air of aloofness and unapproachability.
Gu Jingcheng!
What's he doing here? It's so late!
The bitterness and suffocation that Lin Wei had been forcibly suppressing surged up again.
Wasn't it enough for him to have fun in those kinds of places? Why did he come to her doorstep in the middle of the night?
Lin Weiqiang calmly parked the car in the garage and turned off the engine.
When they came out again, the Rolls-Royce's door was already open.
Gu Jingcheng stood tall and elegant, bathed in the light of the porch.
His perfectly tailored gray suit accentuated his broad shoulders and long legs.
He exudes a powerful aura of authority.
"President Gu."
Lin Wei approached and greeted him.
Gu Jingcheng's gaze fell on her face.
"Your father's case is progressing faster than expected, and he should be out soon."
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, and joy overshadowed the bitterness and annoyance.
She excitedly grabbed Gu Jingcheng's arm, her eyes sparkling.
"Really?"
Gu Jingcheng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his gaze lingered on the cold face for a moment before shifting away.
"There are some details I need to discuss with you in person. Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Lin Wei suppressed the turmoil in her heart and turned slightly to the side.
"Please."
As you push open the door, warm, bright light pours out of the living room.
Aunt Liu looked up at the sound and was stunned when she saw Gu Jingcheng behind Lin Wei.
They even forgot to put down the rag in their hands.
She glanced at Lin Wei, then at the elegant, aloof, and noble man behind her.
His face was full of smiles.
"Oh dear, Miss is back!"
Aunt Liu's gaze swept over Gu Jingcheng, growing more and more satisfied with him.
"Who is this...?"
The last time I saw Miss bring a man home was with that refined and gentle young master Gu Xuan.
result……
Today's persona is different; just that calm and aloof demeanor is miles ahead of Gu Xuan's!
Miss has finally emerged from the shadow of that scumbag!
"My friend."
Lin Wei felt a little embarrassed.
"Aunt Liu, could you please pour me two glasses of water?"
"Okay! Okay, okay!"
Aunt Liu smiled so broadly her eyes disappeared, and she answered quickly and efficiently.
