The love story of a wealthy brother and sister

Chapter 40 The mastermind behind the scenes

As soon as Lin Yingci arrived at the company gate, she was quickly stopped by Lin Jingran.

"Where are you going?" He stood in front of her, just a few feet away.

"Get out of the way." Her tone was calm, without any emotion.

"Okay, I was wrong—" Lin Jingran had no choice but to apologize first.

"Stop talking," she interrupted him and looked up at him:

The bright young man in front of her was still there, his dark eyes were like deep black holes, revealing worry; his slanted and handsome eyebrows, his angular facial features, three-dimensional like sculptures, he was still the one she liked very much, but there was an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

"Go in, there are too many people here." She didn't look at him and turned her head away.

"So what if there are so many people?" Lin Jingran tried to pull her hand again, but Lin Yingci shook him off reflexively.

"I'm not in a good mood right now, and I'm afraid that if I say something, I'll make you unhappy." She explained softly.

"I won't be unhappy no matter what you say," Lin Jingran thought for a moment and replied, "I shouldn't have spoken to you like that just now, I--"

"I'm really fine," Lin Yingci emphasized again, then looked up at him, "You can go back."

"Come with me, I'll take you back." Lin Jingran said firmly, "Otherwise I'll just stand here forever."

Lin Yingci had no choice but to think for a moment before turning around and heading towards the parking lot. Lin Jingran quickly followed and just as he got into the car, a phone call came in:

"Hello," he started the car and answered the phone.

"I have something to do and I'm going to be away for a while," he said while glancing at Lin Yingci, "3 o'clock, yeah, that's fine."

"Go if you're busy, I'll go back by myself." Seeing him hang up the phone, Lin Yingci muttered,

"It's not a big deal. It's okay to wait until later." Lin Jingran said as he pulled her hand. But this time she didn't refuse, so he continued to ask, "Why are you unhappy? Because I hit him?"

Lin Yingci thought for a moment and slowly said, "Jingran, I don't like you using power, money, or any other external things to oppress others. I will think you are very cold and strange."

"Okay, I won't do that again in the future, but," Lin Jingran held her hand tightly, "if someone bullies you, I might still do it, and," he paused, with an unconcealable smile on his face, "Your name Jingran sounds really nice."

Lin Yingci frowned and said helplessly: "Do you remember what I just said?"

"Remember," Lin Jingran answered quickly, "It's alright if he apologizes." After a pause, he added, "Don't be unhappy about this, okay? You know I'm not that kind of person, but I'm really angry this time."

Lin Yingci also held his hand tightly: "I know you are standing up for me and Dad."

·

Soon they arrived at the Lin family's villa. Lin Jingran parked the car in the basement and looked at her reluctantly: "Are you still angry? You won't ignore me, right?"

"No," Lin Yingci was about to open the car door, but he suddenly locked it again.

She turned back in confusion, but Lin Jingran suddenly came closer to her and said, "Kiss me."

He asked her for a kiss like a naughty child. When their eyes met, Lin Yingci's face flushed red. She could only peck him quickly. Just as she turned around, he came closer, held the back of her head and continued to kiss her deeply. Lin Yingci did not struggle, but just put her hands on his shoulders. The two were inseparable when his cell phone rang again. Lin Jingran ignored it, but Lin Yingci pushed him away and motioned for him to answer the phone. Lin Jingran could only answer the phone helplessly, with a very impatient tone: "Why are you rushing me?"

Lin Yingci was dizzy from the kiss and was fixing her hair. Lin Jingran looked at her while listening to the conversation on the phone.

"Got it, I'll be right there... 15 minutes, 15 minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jingran looked at her again: "I'll pick you up later, okay?"

Lin Yingci nodded: "Go slowly on your way."

Lin Jingran nodded and pressed the unlock button: "You are not angry anymore."

Lin Yingci nodded randomly: "I'm leaving."

Lin Jingran sat in the car and watched her walk into the elevator, feeling inexplicably relaxed and happy.

.

It was almost 5 o'clock when he finished dealing with the delegation's affairs. Just as he was about to go home, Lu Xiang suddenly called him.

"Mr. Lin, wait a moment,"

He followed Lin Jingran who had just walked out of the office.

"Lawyer Wu sent me a document, and the key person in the defamation case has been found,"

Lin Jingran took the document: "Who?"

"Zheng Yiyi," Lu Xiang glanced at him and continued, "The daughter of Huace shareholder Zheng Qiao, Liu Wenrui's mentor, is well-known in the circle..." Lu Xiang paused and said, "In short, Liu Wenrui has a special relationship with her."

Lin Jingran slowly raised his head: "Is it the Liu Wenrui I know?"

Lu Xiang nodded: "That's Liu Wenrui, An Jingyu's daughter and An Yishang's sister."

Lin Jingran picked up the file and glanced at Lu Xiang: "I've taken the file. Don't make it public for now."

Lu Xiang nodded and watched him leave.

.

After getting in the car, he called Lin Yingci and told her that he had something to do and would be back late. Lin Yingci just told him to go about his business and she and Xiaoyou went out shopping.

Then he asked An Yishang for Liu Wenrui's phone number and quickly dialed the number.

Xiaoci had guessed it right. It was a matter of love and hatred. Lin Jingran was thinking about it when the call was connected.

"Hello," it was an unfamiliar female voice.

"Liu Wenrui, I'm Lin Jingran."

...

Liu Wenrui came to a coffee shop near the Lujiazui Financial Center for an appointment. Lin Jingran had been waiting for a long time. As soon as he sat down, he threw the so-called "big revelation" of more than ten pages over to her.

"Have you seen this?" He looked at her expressionlessly.

Liu Wenrui took the document in front of her awkwardly, but did not open it to read it. She only glanced at Lin Jingran.

"I saw it online, I..." She looked at him tentatively, "I've seen it, there's no need to look at it again, but why are you looking for me, I-"

"You know Zheng Yiyi, right?" Lin Jingran interrupted her and took out a photo from the file.

"Do you know this person? Let me introduce him to you. His name is Liu Yan, and he owns a media company."

The picture shows Zheng Yiyi and Liu Yan having a good chat. Zheng Yiyi has short hair and delicate features. If you don't look closely, you might think she is a boy. Liu Yan is a short, fat middle-aged man wearing a gold watch, looking very tacky.

Liu Wenrui looked at Lin Jingran again, a little angry: "I don't know him, why are you showing these to me? What does it have to do with me?"

"Don't get excited yet," Lin Jingran interrupted her and took out another photo and put it on the table.

"Come, let me introduce you again. This is Zhang Xiaoquan, and the others here are all well-known marketing accounts on Weibo."

The screen showed Liu Yan and Zhang Xiaoquan at the wine table. Lin Jingran stared at Liu Wenrui again. Liu Wenrui felt uneasy when he looked at her. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry that this happened in your family, but——"

"I'm sorry," Lin Jingran interrupted her and pushed all the photos to her, "These are for you. I have a lot more. I just wanted to ask you,"

His gaze towards her suddenly became stern, and his tone became heavier: "What is the grudge between you and Xiaoci?"

Liu Wenrui thought for a moment and said in defense: "That's right, this matter——"

"Don't call me Jingran, I'm not that familiar with you—" He also interrupted her,

"Listen to me, I really don't know about this, I have to ask her--" She interrupted him again,

"You don't know?" Lin Jingran quickly took over her words.

"I don't know," Liu Wenrui stared at him and replied, "Give me some time and I'll figure it out, okay?"

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then Lin Jingran looked away, suddenly stood up, and looked down at her.

"You know, I'm giving your brother face,"

He paused, his eyes still stern.

"Now, I have already given your brother face."

After saying that, he turned and left. Tears welled up in Liu Wenrui's eyes. She immediately took out her cell phone and made a call.
