Chapter 7 I'll marry into the family tomorrow
Gu Jingcheng stood on the terrace, watching the pink Bentley slowly start and drive away.
He narrowed his eyes and curled his lips in a contemptuous smile.
The trick this woman and Gu Xuan put on to get his attention was full of holes.
However, he was curious about what other tricks his foolish nephew had up his sleeve.
As the car drove through the night in Jiangcheng, Lin Wei felt agitated.
After her rebirth, her plan was indeed to marry Gu Jingcheng, so that she could easily trample Gu Xuan under her feet.
But when Gu Jingcheng said he wanted to marry her, she felt more fear than anything else.
This man is a ruthless tycoon who dominates the business world, with a deep and unpredictable mind and mood swings.
Why did he marry her? What was his purpose?
"Weiwei, the police came to our house and took your dad away. Come back quickly."
Lin Wei didn't have time to ponder why Gu Jingcheng wanted to marry her anymore, and rushed home.
The mother looked worried and quickly grabbed Lin Wei's hand when she saw her come in.
"Weiwei, you broke up with Gu Xuan, right?"
"yes."
"Didn't you always like him? Why do you suddenly want to break up?"
Lin Wei pursued Gu Xuan for three years, a fact that her family had all witnessed.
"Did you upset Gu Xuan? Is that why he doesn't agree to marry you...?"
"That's not how it works."
"What happened?"
Lin Wei took a deep breath, feeling it was necessary to explain things clearly to her mother.
"Gu Xuan only loves our family's money and status."
"Moreover, he cheated on me."
Su Qing was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Who did Brother Gu Xuan cheat on with?"
Lin Yan sat up from the sofa, looking flustered.
"Ha, so what if you cheated on me, you shameless green tea?" Lin Wei glared at her.
"Don't you have any idea who he's cheating on with?"
"......"
"Weiwei, could there be some misunderstanding here?"
"Mom, this isn't the time to talk about this. What happened to Dad being arrested?"
Lin Wei was more concerned about this matter.
"The Gu Group has reported your father for tax evasion."
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat. The Lin family and the Gu family had been cooperating for many years, and their interests had long been intertwined.
If Gu Xuan doesn't budge, my father's chances of survival are slim!
"Your father is not in good health right now. He has high blood pressure and heart disease. What if something happens to him?"
A sinister glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes as she seized the opportunity to speak.
"Sister, Brother Gu Xuan loves you so much, he didn't blame you even though you pushed him into the fountain."
If you simply apologize, he definitely won't abandon you to your fate.
Su Qing released Lin Wei's hand with a look of disgust.
“Weiwei, how could you push Gu Xuan into the pool? The Gu family must have reported your father because of this.”
"If you were half as sensible as Yan'er, your father and I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Lin Wei looked at Lin Yan, who had a smug look on her face, and understood what was going on.
Ever since Lin Yan came to this family in her previous life, her parents have become increasingly dissatisfied with her.
On the contrary, he treated Lin Yan better and better, as if he wanted to treat her like his own daughter.
Her relationship with her mother has reached a freezing point in recent years.
In retrospect, it seems that she was the one who instigated all of this.
"Mom, leave this to me."
Lin Yan twisted the hem of her clothes. Why had she suddenly changed her personality?
In the past, when my aunt said something like that, the mother and daughter would have a huge argument and part on bad terms...
"Sister, are you really sure you can handle this? Or are you just trying to make Auntie happy?"
"When did it become your turn to question me?"
Lin Yan lowered her eyes, putting on a pitiful look, "Auntie, I didn't question my sister, that's not what I meant."
Su Qing glared at Lin Wei.
“That’s not what Yan’er meant. No, I’m not comfortable with that. You’re coming with me to the Gu family right now to plead for her.”
Jingcheng Group
Gu Jingcheng had just finished a remote video conference.
The company urgently needs new R&D technologies to seize the market, but Jingcheng Group had previously invested most of its funds in manufacturing.
They don't have much experience in chip development.
"Mr. Gu, your nephew says he needs to see you and is waiting outside. Will you see him?"
"Let him in."
Gu Xuan pushed open the door and came in carrying a document.
"Uncle, this is the technical data for our company's '※' chip. Please take a look." The tone was extremely obsequious.
Gu Jingcheng looked down at him with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and casually picked up the document that he was handed over.
"Your company?"
Gu Xuan glanced at him guiltily, "Yes, Uncle, this is something my company invested hundreds of millions in research and development."
"only..."
Gu Xuan mustered his courage and said, "I would appreciate your approval, Uncle, regarding my promotion."
"As long as you promise me that I will immediately have the R&D team move into your company, I guarantee it won't delay your plans."
Gu Jingcheng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and slowly put the document down.
"I'll think about it."
On the other side, Lin Wei had already been dragged by her mother to the entrance of the Gu family villa.
The butler was already waiting at the door.
"Ms. Lin, our general manager is waiting for you in the reception room."
Upon entering the reception room, one sees Zhao Qiluo sitting on the sofa, leisurely drinking tea.
Hatred flashed in Lin Wei's eyes. In her past life, Zhao Qiluo took advantage of her deep love for Gu Xuan and went too far.
He constantly belittled and mocked her, showing her disdain in every way.
Su Qing smiled broadly, "President Zhao, it's been a long time."
He gestured to his daughter to speak.
“President Zhao, if you have any ulterior motives towards Gu Xuan, you can come at me directly. There’s no need to resort to underhanded tactics.”
After speaking, he looked up at her, exuding a powerful aura.
Zhao Qiluo waved her fan, just getting into position and waiting for Lin Wei to beg for mercy.
The smile froze on his face instantly.
That little hussy used to treat her with utmost respect, practically groveling before her.
Now they dare to look at her like that.
However, the Lin family is the best marriage partner for the Gu family, as they are wealthy and have a good reputation.
Moreover, the company was handed over to Lin Wei for management early on, and Lin Wei is a love-struck person who is easy to manipulate.
After they get married, everything in the Lin Group will belong to the Gu family.
I only just heard about your father's situation.
"I could help, but it wouldn't be right for me to take such a big risk to help an outsider."
"In-laws, we are not outsiders. Didn't these two children get engaged a long time ago?"
"Please help with Weiwei's father's situation. How can he be allowed to spend the night in jail..."
Su Qing started crying as she spoke, and Lin Wei felt utterly helpless.
"Mom, you go back and wait. I'll handle this."
“I’m not going back. Your father’s matter hasn’t been resolved, so I’m not going back.”
Zhao Qiluo's face instantly lit up with smugness.
"This... the whole of Jiangcheng knows that your daughter rejected my son's marriage proposal, and now you're still talking about engagements."
Then the conversation shifted.
"However, I'm not one to hold grudges. As long as Lin Wei marries into the family..."
Getting my father-in-law out of jail is just a matter of a word from me.
Zhao Qiluo waved her silk fan, her eyes full of calculation.
"This is your family's dowry, you've been begging your daughter to marry you off."
"They used the previously agreed-upon 100 million yuan investment contract as dowry."
Let's not talk about investment anymore. We're married now, so we're all family. There's no need to be so clear about things.
Lin Wei sneered. This scheme was so cunning, the abacus beads were practically flying into her face!
Su Qing seemed to have grasped a lifeline: "In-law, as long as it can save Weiwei's father, all of this is negotiable."
