“Dad,” Liang Zixin said, “Fan Yan has gone to resolve the issue. Let’s see how things develop.”
Lin Zhibai stayed at the most upscale hotel in the area.
Gu Fanyan walked into the hotel lobby, but was stopped at the entrance by two men, both of whom were Lin Zhibai's assistants.
"Miss Gu, Young Master Lin said he doesn't have time to see you for the time being."
"You dare to stop me?" Gu Fanyan didn't even look at them, ignoring their outstretched hands, and walked straight inside.
They dared not touch Gu Fanyan and had no choice but to let go.
She arrived at Lin Zhibai's room door, where two assistants were standing outside.
Upon seeing her, the two assistants exchanged strange glances.
"What, you want to stop me too?" Gu Fanyan asked.
Before the assistant could speak, the door suddenly opened, and a foreign woman with long, flowing hair and a capable demeanor walked out.
However, her long hair was a little messy, and the collar of her shirt was rather low.
Suddenly, an indescribable, ambiguous feeling filled the air...
The woman met Gu Fanyan's gaze, paused slightly, then quickly licked the corner of her mouth with her tongue, "Young Master Lin has quite a few shows to show."
Gu Fanyan ignored her and walked past her into the room.
As soon as I stepped inside, I was hit by a strong smell of alcohol.
Lin Zhibai leaned back in a recliner, a burning cigar dangling from his lips, a half-empty bottle of liquor in his hand, and his long legs crossed over a chair.
Two strands of hair hung down his forehead, and his nonchalant demeanor revealed a strong sense of unruliness.
"What are you doing here?" he scoffed, raising his alcohol-reddened eyes. "I just finished eating."
Gu Fanyan felt as if a needle had been pierced into her heart, causing a pang of bitterness.
She deliberately ignored this feeling and brought up the purpose of her visit: "Do you think it makes sense to deliberately oppose the Liang family?"
Lin Zhibai curled his lips in disdain: "Deliberately going against you? For your sake? Sister Fanyan, don't overestimate yourself."
"You don't know this yet, do you? Everyone is expanding into overseas markets. The Liang family is so wealthy, of course the Lin family will want to be the first to take a bite."
Gu Fanyan bluntly stated, "We can discuss cooperation, but if you want to take over the Liang family, it won't be that easy."
"I advise you not to act impulsively."
Lin Zhibai's sneer deepened. "I'm going to act impulsively, so what?"
Instead of trying to persuade me, you should let him prepare himself.
Gu Fanyan's heart skipped a beat: "What do you want to do?"
Lin Zhibai smiled with his head down, but his eyes were filled with hatred.
It was shocking to watch.
"You're insane," Gu Fanyan said incredulously, "You're really insane!"
Lin Zhibai suddenly stood up and walked towards her step by step. Suddenly, he grabbed her collar and pulled her closer to him.
His heavy breathing, mixed with the strong, pungent smell of alcohol, and intense resentment and anger, said, "Gu Fanyan! If one day I am utterly ruined, anyone in this world can criticize me, but you alone have no right to do so!"
Gu Fanyan saw her own fearful face reflected in his eyes. "Lin Zhibai, why are you like this?"
He suddenly let go, "Go back and tell Liang Zixin that if he dares to steal my woman, he'll have to face the consequences!"
Gu Fanyan bit her lip and stepped forward. "Lin Zhibai, is this what you want?"
With a hiss, she ripped off her coat.
She wore only a light gold silk blouse underneath, which made her fair skin appear even more radiant and accentuated her perfectly shaped figure...
A dark, dull look settled over Lin Zhibai's crazed eyes.
The father is Liang Zixin, the mother is Gu Fanyan, and the child is Liang Mufan... However, Liang Zixin's words seemed like a curse, surfacing in his mind.
The hatred in his eyes intensified.
"Gu Fanyan, who do you think you are?" he sneered disdainfully. "Who do you think I am?"
“I’m not interested in women who have been with other men.” He leaned back in his recliner, picked up the bottle, and continued drinking.
A chill ran down Gu Fanyan's skin, and she couldn't help but shiver, her heart sinking to the bottom.
Just then, the sound of high heels rang out, and the woman who had gone out earlier returned.
He was carrying a lunchbox.
She glanced at Gu Fanyan and chuckled twice, "Even the most beautiful woman in the world, the goddess of the East, is nothing more than this."
"Young Master Lin, did I interrupt your good time?"
As she spoke, she deliberately slipped and fell into Lin Zhibai's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, and the two became intimately close, oblivious to everyone else.
It was obvious to Gu Fanyan that she was the real third wheel.
Gu Fanyan turned and walked out of the room.
She thought to herself that Lin Zhibai's reckless behavior would definitely be opposed by the shareholders of Lin's Group.
Then she thought that he was doing this simply to force her to compromise.
She was in a state of confusion and didn't know what choice to make.
"Fluffy smoke".
She walked out of the hotel in a daze, only to see Liang Zixin walking towards her, his handsome eyes full of worry. "How are you?"
She smiled gratefully and gently shook her head: "Let's talk about it after we get in the car."
Liang Zixin immediately saw her hesitation and confusion, realizing that she must have been rebuffed by Lin Zhibai.
He reached out and opened the car door, raising one hand above Gu Fanyan to help her get into the car.
Then he got into the driver's seat and drove away.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room, the foreign woman watched this scene and sneered, "Young Master Lin, Liang Zixin is quite protective of your woman."
Lin Zhibai, still half-reclining on the sofa, took a swig of wine before asking, "Are you jealous?"
"Jealous?" The woman shook her head. "Maybe before."
“You’d better think this through,” Lin Zhibai continued. “When I finally trample Liang Zixin underfoot, I don’t want anyone holding me back.”
The woman looked at Lin Zhibai; the light was dim, and his figure was blurry.
He is far more terrifying than he appears.
However, she didn't regret it. "Young Master Lin, all I want now is for the moment I make my appearance to come quickly."
Lin Zhibai chuckled, "What's the rush? Take your time."
Liang Zixin escorted Gu Fanyan back to her hotel, and the two sat in the hotel's coffee shop for a while.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t persuade him,” Gu Fanyan said apologetically. “There was another woman in his room at the time, and there were some things I couldn’t say.”
"Did he do this?" Liang Zixin's gaze lingered on the buttons on her clothes.
She realized that the buttons on her clothes were torn.
Although she tried her best to tidy it up, she still couldn't hide the marks of the tearing.
"No, it was my own carelessness." Her eyes darted away.
Liang Zixin had no intention of delving into the matter. With a solemn expression, he picked up his cup and took a sip of water.
He thought to himself that the emotional entanglement between Gu Fanyan and Lin Zhibai was deeper and more complicated than he had imagined.
Gu Fanyan said, "But I will continue to think of ways, so don't worry."
Liang Zixin shook her head: "My dad has already taken care of it. President Wang of Sanshu Company will give up cooperating with Lin Zhibai."
"Within a month, Sanshu Company will be deregistered and disappear, and all their projects will be taken over by the Liang family."
Gu Fanyan was slightly taken aback. Sure enough, the Liang family's influence in the local area was immeasurable.
