Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Some people, I know what they are with just a glance.

Seo Zhenzhen bit her lip, wanting to explain, "I..."

"Miss Seo doesn’t need to explain," Lin Yu said arrogantly, interrupting her. "I’ve lived many years, and some people I can judge with just one look."

Seo Zhenzhen, feeling aggrieved, hung her head and dared not speak.

"Life is short, Miss Seo, so you should calmly continue your treatment abroad. After all, if you really can’t stand up again in this lifetime, it would be a regret."

Lin Yu kept talking, not giving Seo Zhenzhen any chance to interject.

Seo Zhenzhen turned pale, "I’m sorry, auntie, I didn’t realize I had caused you such trouble. Rest assured, I will definitely not bring disgrace to the Zhou family."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Lin, her eyes tender and lingering, "Ah Lin, please don’t quarrel with auntie because of me. Harmony in the family brings prosperity to all."

Cheng Zhiwei realized at this point that Seo Zhenzhen was about to be sent out of the country—Lin Yu had brought her here just to witness this scene.

She subconsciously looked at Zhou Lin. Seo Zhenzhen was being sent away forcefully by Lin Yu, wasn’t she? Was Zhou Lin willing?

Zhou Lin’s face, stern and detached, said nothing, just pushed Seo Zhenzhen along inside.

Lin Yu stood with Cheng Zhiwei in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass wall, watching as Seo Zhenzhen boarded the plane and Zhou Lin got off, after which the aircraft took off and disappeared into the night.

"Zhiwei, do you like the gift mom sent you?" Lin Yu asked with a light laugh, watching Zhou Lin approach, "If there’s any matter you can’t handle, just tell me, and I’ll settle it for you."

Zhou Lin arrived in front of her.

Cheng Zhiwei couldn’t read any emotion from that expressionless face, but she knew, he must be very upset on the inside.

Cheng Zhiwei looked away, "I want to go back now."

"You go with Ah Lin," Lin Yu immediately wanted them to cultivate their feelings for each other.

But Cheng Zhiwei was unwilling; she had the driver take her to the hospital, having decided to personally take care of Guo Cuihua until she recovered and was discharged.

She had just returned to the hospital when she saw Meng Qiancheng in the ward.

He was carefully helping Guo Cuihua sit down on the sofa, his gentle inquiries and the tenderness in his eyes were something Zhou Lin had never shown.

Cheng Zhiwei calmed her emotions and walked in, "Brother Qiancheng, when did you arrive?"

Guo Cuihua looked at Cheng Zhiwei with some displeasure.

Meng Qiancheng smiled, "I came over as soon as I got the news, but I was busy during the day, so I arrived late, sorry, auntie."

Guo Cuihua, realizing Seo Zhenzhen’s heartlessness, now found Meng Qiancheng’s caring presence even more precious and couldn’t help but sigh, "If only it was you who had been with Zhiwei from the start."

"Mom," Cheng Zhiwei exclaimed, shocked, her voice much louder.

How could she say something like that in front of Meng Qiancheng?

Guo Cuihua suddenly realized her own slip of the tongue, coughing once as if clearing her throat, laughed and said, "Look at me, Qiancheng, don’t take it to heart, I meant that Zhiwei has always treated you as a brother, it would have been good if you were by her side at that time."

After all, Cheng Zhiwei had not yet divorced Zhou Lin; such things couldn’t be said carelessly.

But Meng Qiancheng earnestly replied, "Auntie, I understand everything, and I regret that I wasn’t there for Zhiwei at the time."

Cheng Zhiwei was at a loss whether to cry or laugh, "Brother Qiancheng, please stop."

Meng Qiancheng smiled at her, "Alright, I’ll stop talking, auntie, you rest well. I will talk with Zhiwei outside."

"Go ahead."

Once in the corridor, Meng Qiancheng asked softly, "I heard that it was Seo Zhenzhen and Zhou Lin who came here and angered auntie?"

Zhiwei nodded gently, "Mm."

Meng Qiancheng paced on the spot, his tone somewhat irritated, "What’s with Seo Zhenzhen, how could she bring Zhou Lin here? Doesn’t she know this would upset Auntie?"

Zhiwei had already calmed down, "She knows."

How could she not know? She’s just acting this way because she has someone backing her, intentionally, or maybe she just wants to see Auntie pleading with them.

Meng Qiancheng sighed deeply, "Seo Zhenzhen really is an ingrate. For the sake of a Zhou Lin, she doesn’t even care about Uncle and Auntie. Doesn’t she think, if not for Uncle and Auntie, she would probably still be picking trash somewhere."

After he finished speaking, he observed Zhiwei’s expression and continued, "And Zhou Lin, even if he favors Seo Zhenzhen, he shouldn’t have come just to upset Auntie."

Zhiwei’s emotions, which had been difficult to soothe, began to churn wildly in her chest again. She lowered her eyes and said faintly, "That’s just the kind of person he is."

Self-righteous, acting superior.

"Weiwei, you should divorce Zhou Lin," Meng Qiancheng said gently, stroking Zhiwei’s hair, his tone soft, "A Zhou Lin like this really isn’t worth your love anymore."

Zhiwei smiled bitterly. She also wanted a divorce, but she couldn’t do it now.

"If you don’t want a divorce, then Zhou Lin must suffer some hardships, to realize that you’re not so easily controlled," Meng Qiancheng looked toward the direction of the ward, "At the very least, he can’t continue to harm the people around you without any scruples."

Zhiwei’s heart tightened. The image of Guo Cuihua fainting was nothing but agony.

"Weiwei, whatever you decide to do, I’ll help you," Meng Qiancheng consoled softly, "Remember, I’ll always stand by your side."

"No, Brother Qiancheng, don’t go against Zhou Lin because of me," Zhiwei cleared the messy thoughts from her mind, becoming much more alert. Zhou Lin wouldn’t listen to reason when he went mad.

Meng Qiancheng had a bright future ahead of him, and she didn’t want him to be dragged down by her.

"But Weiwei..."

"That’s enough, Brother Qiancheng. You should go back first," Zhiwei gently issued the order for him to leave.

Meng Qiancheng gave her a deep look, nodded, and said, "Okay," then left the hospital.

Zhiwei stood in the corridor for a long time before entering the ward.

She took care of Guo Cuihua in the hospital for two days, and then Zhou Lin called her out. She instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of Zhou Lin’s mercurial temperament, she eventually compromised and agreed to go.

The driver took her to a place where she was made up, styled, and then changed into a gown.

"Miss Cheng looks so beautiful."

"Naturally exquisite."

The employees’ flattering compliments reached her ears as Zhiwei looked at the stranger in the mirror, still not quite processing it. Even her wedding hadn’t been this grand.

It wasn’t until the reflection of Zhou Lin appeared in the mirror, and the employees repeatedly called him "Young President Zhou," that Zhiwei realized what was happening. She turned around and quietly looked at Zhou Lin, "Where are we going?"

Dressed to the nines, it surely wasn’t any ordinary place.

Zhou Lin dropped four words succinctly, "Company gathering."

Zhiwei’s face turned pale, instinctively clutching the hem of her dress. Was it a Zhou Group company gathering? Zhou Lin was taking her there? Did he know what this meant?

Her relationship with Zhou Lin would be exposed for all to see, and the past three years’ events would be dug up and lingered over.

Fear seeped from every limb.

Zhou Lin had said that marriage was his revenge against her. Now, was the real revenge about to start?
