After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

It had become dawn.

Wen Yanqing was very awake, but he still felt that this was like a dream.

He opened his WeChat, and the message was still there. “1 think you want to see me.”

It kept reminding him that all of this was indeed real.

After years of searching, he had finally received a response. It felt unreal.

Nervously, he sent a message. “Shall we have dinner together tonight?”

After waiting for a while, he did not receive a reply.

Wen Yanqing felt a bit disappointed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

When he came out, having changed his clothes, Lin Gantang replied, “1 just woke up. Where should we go to eat?”

All of Wen Yanqing’s unease dissipated. It was as if the dark clouds had cleared, and sunlight entered his heart.

After setting the time and place, Lin Gantang also got up to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Today, she intended to visit the company with Lin Zhaonan.

During breakfast, Lin Zhaonan spoke earnestly to her, “The company has many departments, and each position is a specialized field. After you’ve visited them in the next couple of days, find a direction that interests you. From then on, focus on learning with purpose.”

“Your brother is very thoughtful.” Mr. Lin expressed approval of Lin Zhaonan’s idea.

Lin Gantang nodded.

“Tongtong, you’re pregnant. Do you want to quit your job and stay at home to take care of the baby?” Mr. Lin sought her opinion.

Jiang Tongtong shook her head gently, a bit embarrassed as she said, “Dad, I’d like to work for a few more months. Even though we don’t lack the money…”

“It’s not about money. Dad respects your wishes.” Mr. Lin chuckled.

Lin Gandang looked at the happy family and felt that she must have been possessed in her previous life to ignore her loved ones and be so cold to them.

Lin Gantang’s visit to her own company didn’t attract much attention in the industry.

Lately, all eyes were on the Gu family.

Mrs. Gu was planning a tea party, inviting women and daughters from their social circle. There were rumors that Mrs. Gu was attempting to see if there was a suitable match for Gu Zhichuan.

Others dismissed it as gossip until they witnessed Mrs. Gu’s enthusiasm firsthand at the tea party.

Someone inquired, not understanding, “Has the alliance between the Gu and Lin families fallen through?”

“It’s true. No one from the Lin family has visited the Gu family, and the Gu family didn’t invite them to this tea party either.”

“Though the collaboration between the two families persists, the Gu family recently intervened in a project the Lin family was keen on. It’s likely affecting their relationship… Haha.”

“The daughter of the Shi family, Shi Muzhen, seems favored by Madam Gu. 1 saw her shopping with her.”

“I don’t know.”

Gu Zhichuan had been busy for the whole day. When he came back, he heard Mrs. Gu nagging about this and that. He was so annoyed that he turned around and went to the villa in the North Mountain Villa.

Gu Shuyue was busy shopping with her friends, paying no attention to such matters.

Her mother’s incessant talk about Shi Muzhen had worn her patience thin, just like her brother. “Do you think Shi Muzhen likes Gu Zhichuan? She’s only after the Gu family’s wealth. How genuine can her feelings be for my brother?” “Aren’t you on good terms with her?” Mrs. Gu inquired.

“Who wouldn’t be friendly with a maid who comes willingly? She wants to marry my brother, but she’s not up to par.”

“This won’t work, and that won’t either. Muzhen wants money? Why isn’t she after others’ money? Lin Gantang is infatuated with your brother, but what’s the use? Do you think sincerity is enough?” Mrs. Gu countered.

“What’s the use of being impatient with me? He’s not interested in her. In my opinion, the only one worthy of my brother is Qin Jiayao.” Gu Shuyue happily contemplated, “C City’s number one socialite. She excels in family background, talent, and appearance, and even plays the cello. She has genuine charm.”

“Qin Jiayao?” Mrs. Gu’s interest was piqued. “Wasn’t she abroad?”

“She returned yesterday. I saw the news on my Moments.”

Mrs. Gu’s mind suddenly became more active upon hearing this..
