Chapter 69 Changing Careers to Sell Roasted Nuts
Lin Wei's gaze swept over the cheap kraft paper bag.
His expression turned cold.
"Gu Xuan, so... you've switched to selling roasted nuts and seeds?"
"slight……"
Gu Xuan felt as if his throat was stuffed with cotton, and he managed to squeeze out two words.
The paper bag in his hand burned his palm.
“I know you’re under a lot of pressure because of your father. Don’t worry, I’ll always be there for you.”
"I didn't know how to cherish you before, and I didn't realize how good you are."
"I know I was wrong now, Weiwei. Let me stay by your side, okay?"
Lin Wei's eyes churned with a torrent of hatred.
The memory of his tragic death in his previous life resurfaced in his chest, playing on a loop.
The rain poured down, and the cold rain mixed with blood blurred her vision.
Gu Xuan's face twisted in agony, and without hesitation, he plunged the dagger into her heart!
The excruciating pain was deeply etched into Lin Wei's bones and blood!
Lin Wei watched with great interest as Gu Xuan humbly begged for peace.
Killing him with one blow would be too lenient.
It would be more interesting to turn him into an obedient dog.
Lin Wei's lips curved into a smile as her gaze fell upon Gu Xuan's expectant eyes.
"Gu Xuan, your mother just sent my father to prison."
"And then you're holding this bag of cheap chestnuts and trying to act all sentimental?"
"Are you and your son putting on a show?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Gu Xuan's eyes.
"Weiwei, let me explain..."
A hint of mockery flashed in Lin Wei's eyes.
"Gu Xuan, it's not that I'm not waiting for you, I'll give you a chance."
Gu Xuan's eyes lit up. "Weiwei, as long as you give me a chance..."
"Okay, I'll give you a chance, let's start with paying back the money."
Gu Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
"Give...back...the money?"
Lin Wei's tone was sarcastic.
"You're not planning to renege on the money you borrowed from me all those years ago, are you?"
"Since you're so sincere, I'll waive the interest. Installment payments are fine too."
"Wei...Weiwei, this..."
Gu Xuan's face turned from white to green; he was still hoping Lin Wei would give him money.
How did it turn into paying back money?
Lin Wei raised an eyebrow.
"You were so sincere just now, but you fell silent as soon as money was mentioned?"
No! That's not it!
"Weiwei! Trust me! I will definitely pay you back! Not a penny less!"
"Give me some time! I'll go back and talk to my mom right away!"
Watching Gu Xuan's departing figure, Lin Wei's expression faded.
All that remained was a deep-seated hatred.
In this life, she is not that love-struck fool who is easily manipulated.
She will slowly seek revenge for the harm that the mother and son did to her in her previous life.
-
On a sports car in the distance.
The man looked at that delicate figure.
His cold eyes narrowed slightly.
She and Gu Xuan still seem to have an on-and-off connection...
Gu Jingcheng stroked the wedding ring on his ring finger.
A strange sense of jealousy rose in my heart.
He stepped out of the car with long legs and walked straight toward Lin Wei.
Lin Wei was clearly taken aback when she saw the man.
Why would Gu Jingcheng appear downstairs at her company at this time?
Did he hear her conversation with Gu Xuan just now?
Is there a misunderstanding?
"President Gu."
"Get in the car, I'll take you somewhere."
The man took her hand very naturally and strode into the car.
Start the engine.
The black sports car merged into the rush hour traffic in Jiangcheng.
Outside the car window, the neon signs of tall buildings lit up in the deepening twilight.
The car was completely isolated from the outside noise, and it was very quiet.
Lin Wei leaned back in the soft leather seat, her body slightly tense.
She turned her head to look at the man in the driver's seat, his sharply defined profile.
Gu Jingcheng rested one hand on the steering wheel, and on his ring finger was a platinum ring.
In the dim light inside the car, a faint glimmer of light was reflected.
Lin Wei subconsciously rubbed the metal between her fingers, her heart racing a little.
Gu Jingcheng stared intently at Lin Wei through the mirror.
She wore a professional skirt suit today, exuding a sophisticated and capable air.
This contrasts with her youthful face.
His heart skipped a beat.
Gu Jingcheng felt that he had been acting strangely these past few days.
We met just last night.
He couldn't wait to see her after get off work today.
As if possessed, I drove my car to the building in front of her company.
"Mr. Gu, where are we going?"
You'll know when you get there.
Lin Wei pursed her lips and didn't press the matter further.
Summer weather is unpredictable; just a moment ago the sky was clear and blue, and now it's pouring rain.
The windshield wipers swung rapidly from side to side, but could only make a few scratches on the glass.
A briefly clear area.
All that remains of the world outside the window is the trail of flowing water.
Visibility outside the car dropped sharply, forcing the vehicle to slow down.
It merges into a sea of red brake lights.
Lin Wei unconsciously gripped her bag tightly with both hands; thankfully, she wasn't driving.
She was still shaken by the heavy rain.
Three years ago, in a similar downpour, she drove her car and crashed into a roadside fence.
Although it's not serious.
But ever since then, she has had a lingering fear of driving in the rain.
The interior of the car grew increasingly dim, with only the dashboard emitting a faint blue glow.
It reflected Gu Jingcheng's deep-set profile.
A magnified sense of confinement suddenly descended, filling the small space.
It's squeezing your nerves.
Lin Wei's thin, smoky gray business suit was not warm enough.
A layer of fine goosebumps rose on her bare forearm, and she subconsciously hugged her arm.
Gu Jingcheng turned up the car's air conditioning heater by one level.
The car was waiting at a red light.
He unbuttoned his suit jacket and draped it over Lin Wei's shoulders.
The suit was very large, almost completely covering her upper body.
The unique masculine scent emanating from Gu Jingcheng lingered in her nostrils.
"Thanks."
The rain outside the window intensified, as if it were about to engulf the entire world.
The dense raindrops pounded on the car roof like drumsticks striking a drumhead.
After the car had been driving for a while,
The engine suddenly stalled.
Gu Jingcheng restarted the process, but it was ineffective.
He frowned.
He opened the car door, got out, and checked.
Lin Wei looked at the winding raindrops through the car window.
The rain showed no signs of abating.
Gu Jingcheng bent down to check if the engine was off.
Lin Wei looked at the man's blurry, slender silhouette through the rain-soaked car window, completely immersed in the downpour.
She touched the folding umbrella in the car, got out, and walked out.
The umbrella was placed over the man's head.
Gu Jingcheng raised his face.
"Go wait for me in the car."
Lin Wei insisted, tilting the umbrella towards him.
"Mr. Gu, the rain is too heavy. Let me hold the umbrella for you."
The rain was so heavy that Lin Wei's voice was drowned out.
Gu Jingcheng could only see her lips opening and closing.
He stared at her crimson lips.
Seeing that one of her shoulders was wet from the rain, he grabbed her wrist with his wet hand.
He pulled her closer to him, and with his other hand he covered her with the umbrella, enveloping her in its embrace.
"The engine is off. Leave the car here for now, and I'll have someone come and get it repaired tomorrow."
Lin Wei then noticed that Gu Jingcheng was driving a sports car today.
The sports car has a low chassis and stalls when wading through water.
The two of them got into the car, almost completely soaked. The inside of the car was a little warmer.
However, the vehicle could not move, and the rain outside showed no signs of letting up.
Lin Wei wanted to hail a taxi, but after locating her, it showed that there were no available vehicles.
