Guo An finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the man was in a better mood, he sent Lin Wei a message: "Baby, are you off work? Can we video chat? I miss you."
Lin Wei was at a friend's house. She borrowed her friend's old phone to log into her alternate account so she could see messages from two men at the same time.
For the first time ever, Li Yun didn't ask Lin Wei when she would return. Guo An was the same; he only sent one message after half a day.
The woman wondered, what's wrong with these two?
She replied to Guo An with the message: "Is now a convenient time?"
Guo An, who was waiting for his shift change notice in the office, felt his phone vibrate and immediately replied, "Convenient."
"Feifei, I'm going to the study to take a video call," Lin Wei told her friend.
The moment Guo An saw the woman in the camera's view, he was so excited he didn't know what to say.
He stammered, "Weiwei, I finally have time to look at you... no, you finally have time to look at me..."
Lin Wei pouted and kissed the screen: "Mwah, I've been so busy. I just arrived at my friend's house and haven't had dinner yet."
Guo An also blew a kiss, then said with concern, "It's eight o'clock, and you haven't eaten yet? Your workload is too heavy. Whose house is this? Do I know them?"
"I told you about Feifei's house, let me show you." Lin Wei deliberately pointed the camera at Feifei's artistic photos. "I wasn't lying to you, was I?"
"I didn't say you lied to me, Weiwei. Have you confirmed it on your end? When will you be back?" Guo An missed Lin Wei, even though she had only been gone for five days.
The woman's eyes involuntarily drifted elsewhere. Go back? When? She herself didn't know.
She quickly replied, "I don't know. This company is terrible. The procedures are so complicated. But I'll go back as soon as it's over. I don't want to stay here either."
"Work is more important." Guo An said this, but he was extremely disappointed.
"I miss you too. Do you remember what we said? If love between two people can last forever, why should they be together every day?" Lin Wei began to manipulate Guo An. "Today's separation is for a better reunion tomorrow."
"I know, I was narrow-minded. Weiwei, you're right. We should work hard while we're young." Guo An had come to some understanding.
"Are you in the office? Have you resolved things at the company?" Lin Wei pretended to be concerned about the man's work situation, but actually wanted to find out that something was urgent.
Guo An rested his phone against the computer screen, propped his chin on his hand, and sighed: "President He is personally overseeing the review of the surveillance footage and asking each person individually if they saw any suspicious individuals enter the company. He should be asking me soon."
Lin Wei was clearly feeling guilty, but he pretended to be calm: "I'm not a suspicious person, but Guo An, you absolutely cannot say that you took me there. It's hard to explain, understand?"
"I know, don't worry, I'll definitely be fine. Weiwei, yesterday Grandma Fu came over and said that the boss's wife is cursed and will bring bad luck to the company. Now many employees in the company are boycotting the boss's wife..." Guo An briefly explained what had happened.
Lin Wei had already heard the news immediately, but in order to conceal her interest in the Fu family, she lied and said, "Really? That's too superstitious. There are no ghosts or gods in this world."
“I think so, otherwise how do you explain it? It’s really strange. No human could do that. Every step of the inspection is so strict, but the key is that no human intervention can be found.” Guo An spoke with great conviction.
"Guo An, don't be the one to stick your neck out. Even if you think it's your boss's wife's fault," Lin Wei said with concern.
"I know, Weiwei, you're so good to me." Guo An touched the woman's face on the screen. "I'm not talking to you anymore, someone's coming over soon."
"Okay, Feifei and I are going to get something to eat, then we'll go back to the hotel to rest. We have to get up early tomorrow, bye~" Lin Wei hung up the video call.
She sat in the chair in a daze for a while, and Guo An obviously hadn't realized she was lying.
But how long can she keep this a secret? Even if the Fu family can't find her, can she go back to Tiancheng?
Lin Wei was extremely distressed because he couldn't explain his frequent business trips to Tiancheng to Li Yun.
She walked out of the study with her head hanging low.
Seeing the listless woman, Feifei asked, "Who's putting pressure on you?"
Lin Wei felt a tightness in her chest, so she told Fei Fei her true feelings.
Feifei put her arm around the woman's shoulder and said earnestly, "Weiwei, listen to your sister and make a decision as soon as possible. You must cut ties. If they find out one day, you may not be able to bear the consequences."
Lin Wei had no choice.
Feifei asked the simplest question: "Do you dare to go against Li Yun?"
Lin Wei replied without hesitation, "I wouldn't dare."
"Then you have no choice. Even if you and Guo An are truly in love, you can't be together if you can't get past Li Yun. Besides, you know Li Yun's temper. If he finds out about Guo An's existence, not only will you be in danger, but Guo An will be too."
Lin Wei's gaze froze. She knew perfectly well what was going on, but she clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that as long as she was careful enough, Li Yun wouldn't notice, or that Li Yun would get tired of her and give up on her.
When Feifei laid out the reality, Lin Wei instantly woke up: "I shouldn't deceive myself. I should end this as soon as possible. For Guo An's sake, I can't drag him down."
“Yes, you’ll only be qualified to pursue true love once you’ve severed ties with Li Yun.” Fei Fei nodded.
——
Tiancheng, late at night.
The old lady sat by the window with the light on, lost in thought.
This time, she wasn't targeting Rong Yan; she did it for the sake of the Fu family.
Which elder doesn't want their younger generation to be happy? But Rongyan is incompatible with the Fu family, so for the sake of her family, she had no choice but to let Rongyan leave.
Right now, nobody believes her.
She went to the master, and what the master said was exactly the same as her guess: the longer Rong Yan stayed in the Fu family, the more people in the family would be brainwashed, and the more disasters would occur.
She had to get Rong Yan away as soon as possible, but right now, everyone was protecting Rong Yan and even offering themselves up. How could she help the Fu family?
The old woman held a photo of her deceased husband in her hands: "Old Fu, I have let you down. I can't let a company that has been around for decades be ruined by an outsider. Since no one believes me, I will use my life to force Rong Yan to leave."
“I’ve lived long enough, but Jing Sheng is still young. The Fu family is a large family, and we can’t let it be ruined by one person. You will support me, right? I’ll come find you right away.” The old lady was preparing to see her husband.
She has already written her will, hoping that her death will lead to her grandson and Rong Yan's divorce. She stated directly that she would not rest in peace if they did not divorce.
The old lady had made a few attempts to get her family's attention, but when she finally decided to leave this world, she found herself feeling a little reluctant and even a bit scared.
She wanted to see her great-grandchildren one more time.
The old lady changed the time she was supposed to take her medicine, as she planned to see the children one last time after dawn.
She would put the suicide note in a drawer, and after seeing her child, she would call Fu Jingsheng and ask him to open the drawer.
