Chapter 20 How Despicable I Am
"What did you say? You and Gu Jingchen got the marriage certificate?"
Tang Xiaoxiao shouted excitedly.
Lin Yu'an quickly reached out and covered her mouth: "Keep your voice down."
After get off work, she did not go home directly, but made an appointment with Tang Xiaoxiao to have coffee.
The main reason is that she doesn't know how to face it when she returns.
"What are you doing? Having a flash marriage?" Tang Xiaoxiao lowered her voice.
Lin Yu'an was also a little confused. He had been dating Jiang Huai for fifteen years but there was still no result.
As a result, she got the certificate after only being with Gu Jingchen for fifteen days.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you think I should do?"
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at her: "Do you like Gu Jingchen?"
"I..." Lin Yu'an paused, then thought for a while.
“I can’t say I like it, but I don’t hate it either.”
"That's easy. If you don't like each other, then divorce. Marriage and divorce are normal nowadays. You don't have children, and there's no property to divide, so divorce is simple."
As soon as Tang Xiao made a joke, Lin Yu'an immediately denied it, "No."
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at her appraisingly.
"He got married to me to help me. How can I divorce him right after getting the marriage certificate? Isn't that too unfair to him?" Lin Yu'an explained.
But this explanation sounded strange even to her.
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled meaningfully, "Since you don't want to get divorced for the time being, just get along. When you understand each other, if it's okay, then continue. If you feel that it's not okay for each other, you can get divorced again."
"Honestly, in our industry, how many people know each other so well? They're just two business people who get paired up. As the saying goes, 'Marriage first, love later.'"
"As for whether they love each other or not, it's hard to say. Some couples are truly in love, while others are just pretending to be in love for the sake of their family's interests. For someone like us, it doesn't matter who we marry."
What she said is indeed realistic.
Lin Yu'an knew it very well.
"Take me and Lu Chuan for example. I actually want Tang's bid to succeed, but I also don't want to win. Tang's has always been bigger than Lu's. If this deal with GK International goes smoothly, do you think my father will still agree to Lu Chuan and I being together?"
"Yu'an, even though you met a scumbag like Jiang Huai, you are lucky. Your parents never thought of using you as a sacrifice for their own benefit."
Tang Xiaoxiao's words made Lin Yuan feel guilty and sorry for his parents.
It was indeed as Tang Xiaoxiao said, her parents had never used her as a tool for marriage.
As for the Jiang family's status, it can bring benefits to the Lin family.
But her parents did not take advantage of this relationship. They saw through Jiang Huai's character and tried their best to stop her from associating with him.
"Yu'an, the matter is done. You might as well try to get along with Gu Jingchen. If it works out, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, it won't have much of an impact."
Tang Xiaoxiao's suggestion made Lin Yu'an look embarrassed.
"What? You haven't let go of that scumbag Jiang Huai yet, have you?"
Tang Xiaoxiao became very emotional. If Lin Yu'an said yes, she would definitely slap her to death.
"How is that possible? How despicable must I be that I can't let him go even after all this." Lin Yu'an said angrily.
Tang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, since you have already let Jiang Huai go, then give it a try, this way you can also get rid of Jiang Huai's entanglement."
Want to try it?
Lin Yu'an was a little shaken.
After separating from Tang Xiaoxiao, Lin Yu'an returned home.
"Come back, let's eat."
Gu Jingchen pulled her directly to his apartment.
There were many dishes on the table, most of which were light and nourishing to the stomach, with only one or two heavy-flavored dishes.
"How do you cook so many dishes?" Lin Yu'an asked.
Gu Jingchen smiled and said, "Today is our first day of marriage. It's a happy day, so naturally we have to celebrate."
The words "newly married" and "happy" made Lin Yu'an feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Most people are still not used to it.
After all, the marriage happened too suddenly.
"That...Gu Jingchen." Lin Yu'an raised his head with a serious expression.
"Thank you for helping me so much. You don't have to keep it in your mind about how I took care of you when you were little. You've already repaid a favor. If you ever want to dissolve your marriage, you can tell me directly. We can get a divorce anytime."
Gu Jingchen looked at her, a hint of loss flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and his expression returned to normal, without any emotion.
"good."
After hearing his answer, Lin Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief and no longer felt so stressed and nervous.
In fact, she felt quite relaxed getting along with Gu Jingchen.
"Let's eat." Lin Yu'an took the lead and sat down.
Gu Jingchen sat down opposite her.
"With so many dishes and this being a celebration, how can we not drink something? Let's have some red wine. I'll go get it."
Lin Yu'an just stood up, but was pushed back by Gu Jingchen: "I'll get it."
Gu Jingchen went to get a bottle of low-alcohol red wine and two wine glasses.
He opened the wine bottle and poured two glasses of wine, one for Lin Yu'an and one in front of himself.
Lin Yu'an picked up the wine glass: "Come on, cheers."
"Cheers." Gu Jingchen also raised his glass.
The two of them bumped into each other.
Lin Yu'an didn't drink much, just took a small sip.
Although she likes to drink, she is not someone who ignores her own health.
Even if I know I have stomach problems, I will still pay attention to it.
Gu Jingchen picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food for her.
"By the way, Gu Jingchen, my dad asked me today how your company is going. Since you're just starting out, are there a lot of troubles?"
Seeing Lin Yu'an's concern for him, he nodded and said, "Well, when you first start developing, you'll always encounter some obstacles."
"What does your company mainly do? I just signed a cooperation agreement with GK International, a huge order worth 10 billion. If we can cooperate with Lin's, then we can cooperate. The projects are different, but I can also introduce you to similar companies. Now they will at least give Lin's some face."
Lin Yu'an is a little arrogant.
But she was telling the truth.
Now Lin’s company is cooperating with GK International on another 10 billion project, and the news has already spread throughout Kyoto.
Now she is surrounded by 'good people'.
"My company mainly does... graphic design." Gu Jingchen responded.
Lin Yu'an's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. Our project in the west of the city happens to require graphic design. I was just wondering which graphic design company to work with. Your company is the right one."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Gu Jingchen said.
Lin Yu'an nodded. "Well, what's the name of your company? I'll personally bring someone to sign the contract with you tomorrow."
"Chen'an Group."
When Gu Jingchen said these words, Lin Yu'an frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Chen An, Chen An, it sounds like.
But she didn't think much about it.
"Okay, when you get to the company tomorrow, send me your location and I'll call you when I get there."
"good."
"Yu'an...Yu'an...isn't this at home?"
Lin Yu'an's hand holding the wine glass froze, and she seemed to hear her mother calling her outside the door.
"Yu'an..."
She was now certain that her parents were coming.
Just when she didn't know what to do, her cell phone rang.
