Chapter 43: Tonight, the King Forced Himself
"Lin Wanqing, stop it!"
Zhang Guodong rushed to the brazier as fast as he could and reached out to grab the flaming papers.
But the flames were so fierce, maybe because Lin Wanqing had broken the oil, he couldn't touch them at all; they were too hot.
Zhang Guodong tried several times but finally gave up.
As soon as Lin Wanqing returned home, she packed up all of Zhang Guodong's personal belongings and took them to the small garden. She found a basin and burned his various documents and certificates of honor.
"Lin Wanqing, this is what my brother left behind. How could you burn it?" The firelight reflected in Zhang Guodong's eyes, covering up his pain and sadness.
Without these supporting documents, he can’t get the things he deposited in the bank safe!
Lin Wanqing looked up at him and saw all the emotions she wanted to see on Zhang Guodong's face.
It must be a painful feeling to watch your own traces disappear bit by bit.
Did Zhang Guodong really think he had a few boxes of treasure? Did he really think that just by getting the documents, he could get the treasure?
Lin Wanqing sneered in her heart, but it was good that Zhang Guodong always had a hope in his mind. When he was most helpless, he opened the box and saw that it was empty. The huge feeling of disappointment when his hope was shattered could drive a person to death.
“Lin Wanqing, how could you take away all of Guodong’s things!”
Zhang Guodong felt that there was a void in his heart.
"Brother, we have to look forward. I don't want to be trapped by him and his things." Lin Wanqing continued to throw things into the brazier.
That was Zhang Guodong's favorite fountain pen. It was the first prize he won in the labor skills competition that year. He was reluctant to use it and kept it in a box. He would take it out from time to time to wipe it.
And that certificate is proof that he is an advanced worker.
His high school diploma, his ID card...
All gone, all turned to ashes.
Zhang Guodong gritted his teeth, tears welling in his eyes, "Lin Wanqing, can't you leave me something as a reminder?"
Lin Wanqing stood up and said, "What's the point of thinking about someone who's dead?"
The flames reflected on her expressionless face, making her look particularly cold.
Zhang Guodong couldn't accept this. "Your feelings for my brother can't stand the test?"
"Don't you love him very much? How come he's been dead for only a few days and you burned all his things? Are you anxious to find someone else to buy him?"
"What do you care what I want to do?" Lin Wanqing watched the flames devour everything, and her heart felt slowly relaxing, as if Zhang Guodong was really dead.
He died in the fire she had deliberately set.
There was smoke all around with a pungent smell, and Zhang Guodong felt that his eyes were tearing up from the smoke.
"It's gone, it's really gone." He murmured to himself. He felt no emotion when he attended his own funeral, but now he felt a heart-wrenching pain.
Lin Wanqing found it funny. "Didn't he die a long time ago? You saw him die with your own eyes."
Zhang Guodong suddenly woke up.
"You're so cruel," Zhang Guodong scolded harshly. "You know exactly how my brother treated you! If you died, he would never remarry and would take care of the child for the rest of his life!"
"You're so impatient to kick his family out! Burn all his things! I think you'll be planning to have an affair tomorrow!"
Zhang Guodong immediately shook his head again. Lin Wanqing was deeply in love with him and it was impossible for her to do anything to let him down.
"No, you must be afraid of being reminded of someone by seeing the things, right?"
"Are you afraid that seeing Guodong's things will make you sad?"
Lin Wanqing thought Zhang Guodong was being hysterical and said sarcastically, "Yes, that's right. You look exactly like him, and it makes me even sadder. So get out of my house right away."
He knew it was like this, it had to be like this! Zhang Guodong felt inexplicably relieved.
Lin Wanqing's love for him is unwavering!
"But if I stay, and you look at my face, it will be a kind of emotional sustenance for you, right?" Zhang Guodong looked at Lin Wanqing with affectionate eyes.
Lin Wanqing felt nauseous and looked at him as if he were a psychopath. "Are you okay?"
Zhang Guodong thought about it and became more determined to inherit both branches.
In this way, the Lin family’s things will not fall into the hands of others, and Zhijie can call him dad openly, which is also good for the child.
Even if Lin Wanqing disagrees at first, she will give in as long as he uses some tricks.
When the time comes, he will put on Guodong's clothes, pretend to be himself, and seduce Lin Wanqing with sweet words. Maybe this will work.
Just a simple thought and Zhang Guodong felt that this was feasible.
Yang Aihua stood aside, her hands slowly clenched, and her face became increasingly ugly.
The thing she was most proud of was snatching Zhang Guodong from Lin Wanqing. She didn't want Zhang Guodong and Lin Wanqing to have anything to do with each other anymore.
As soon as Zhang Guodong and his companions returned to the room, he brought up the proposal of combining the two branches.
"Two branches at the same time?" Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes, as if she was thinking.
Zhang Guodong was full of confidence, "Don't worry, Mom, Lin Wanqing will definitely agree."
"My brother and I have the exact same face. Considering Lin Wanqing's feelings for me, I doubt she's confused."
"Wait till night, I'll go into her room and talk to her, hehe." Zhang Guodong's face was full of obscenity, "She has been without a man for so long, let her enjoy it. From now on, she will definitely not be able to leave me."
Aunt Zhang nodded. "My son still has the idea."
"No!" Yang Aihua's face turned pale, "I don't agree!"
Aunt Zhang snorted, "Why are you so confused?"
"Can you come up with the money now, or find a comfortable house to live in?" Aunt Zhang glared at her. "Your husband is sacrificing himself for our well-being. How come you don't even realize this?"
"My dear wife, don't worry, I still love you the most." Zhang Guodong hugged Yang Aihua and patted her back, "You are the principal wife!"
"Don't forget, I'm Zhang Guoliang now, the same name as on your marriage certificate. No matter when, we're the closest couple. I'll secretly transfer some more money from Lin Wanqing and give it all to you when the time comes."
Zhang Guodong was good at sweet talk, and he hugged Yang Aihua and started to coax her.
Yang Aihua knew that there was nothing she could do even if she disagreed, as she had no say in this family.
She had no choice but to say, "Okay, but your heart must be with me, understand?"
She thought that Zhang Guodong was enduring humiliation for them.
Zhang Guodong smiled and kissed Yang Aihua on the cheek, "Of course! Isn't my heart always with you?"
To prevent any further complications, Zhang Guodong decided to take action tonight. If Lin Wanqing refused, he would force her into submission!
