Chapter 512 Old Grudges and New Hatreds
Chapter 512 Old Grudges and New Hatreds
As night deepened, Lin Chuyue stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, the red wine in her hand swirling slightly, but her gaze passed over the dazzling neon lights outside the window and landed on a sentence that lingered in her heart.
"Who exactly are you testing?" Li Zhanchuan's question that night was like a sharp blade, piercing deep into her heart.
It's not that she doesn't trust him, it's just that... she can't easily trust anyone.
The door was pushed open, and Fu Qingge walked in on her high heels. She glanced at the wine glass in the woman's hand and chuckled, "What's wrong? Drinking so late? Did President Gu upset you, or did President Li's cold face flare up again?"
Lin Chuyue didn't speak, but gently put down her cup and turned to look at her.
Fu Qingge's smile faded as she slowly approached: "I advise you not to get too obsessed with them. One is your fiancé from your past life, and the other is someone you've been entangled with since your rebirth. Who do you really want?"
Lin Chuyue's eyes flickered slightly, but she spoke calmly, "You didn't come here today just to stir up trouble, did you?"
Fu Qingge sneered: "Do you think I want to get involved in your petty affairs? You didn't even know your father was in trouble?"
Lin Chuyue was taken aback: "What is it?"
Fu Qingge walked to the coffee table and tossed out several photos and an official letter. "A safety accident has occurred at one of the Lin Group's engineering projects, and it is currently under investigation by the market supervision department. Your father has been asked to assist in the investigation."
Lin Chuyue clenched her fist tightly.
She knew this was no coincidence.
"Who did it?"
"What do you think?" Fu Qingge's lips curled up, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "The Gu family showed up at the Lin Group project's partner meeting. Do you think that's a coincidence?"
Lin Chuyue said in a deep voice, "Gu Yanchuan wouldn't do that."
“You overestimate him.” Fu Qingge stood up, her gaze sharp. “Don’t forget, his relationship with your dear sister is more complicated than you think.”
Lin Chuyue stared at her: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Fu Qingge approached step by step and whispered, "Although Shen Fang is dead, she left behind a card—Lin Yun. Do you think she just wanted to marry into a wealthy family? What she wants is everything you once had."
Lin Chuyue's expression changed slightly.
She knew, of course, that Lin Yun was no ordinary person, but she never expected that Gu Yanchuan would actually... participate in this game.
That night, she was completely unable to sleep.
—
The following day, Lin Chuyue appeared in the Gu family's conference room.
The meeting was in progress, and Gu Yanchuan sat in the main seat, exuding a cold and aloof aura.
She pushed the door open and entered, breaking the silence of the entire room.
"I need to check the data on the partners of Lin's engineering projects to see who tampered with it."
Gu Yanchuan slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping coldly over her: "Lin Chuyue, this is the Gu family, not your Lin family."
One sentence thrust her into the eye of the storm.
Lin Chuyue met his gaze defiantly: "The Gu family has never truly gotten rid of the Lin family's resources. Don't forget how much the Lin family sacrificed for your Gu family when your father personally arranged this marriage."
"Are you threatening me?" Gu Yanchuan stood up, his handsome face as cold as ice.
"I'm reminding you that if you still consider Lin Yun as your person, then there's no longer any possibility between us."
Outside the conference room, Li Zhanchuan appeared out of nowhere, leaning against the door with a sharp gaze.
He asked in a deep voice, "So now, you're going to go back to Gu Yanchuan's side and join forces with him to fight against Lin Yun?"
The atmosphere between the three suddenly became tense.
Lin Chuyue stood between the two, her heart filled with a mixture of coldness and anger.
She knew that in this game, she had to personally uncover the truth in order to expose all the betrayals, schemes, and deceptions.
But what she didn't know was that a huge sum of money was being quietly transferred from an account overseas, and behind it all, the name she thought had long since vanished was being revived.
Shen Fang's shadow never truly left.
