The Temptation of CEO's Pregnant Ex-Wife
Chapter 448: She is kind enough to you

Chapter 448: Chapter 448: She is kind enough to you

Zhou Lin placed Lin Yu in the car before he calmly turned to look at Meng Qiancheng.

"You drive."

He faced the red dot squarely, neither dodging nor avoiding.

Lin Yu attempted to get out of the car but was pushed back by him.

"Ah Lin," Lin Yu called out anxiously, her voice trembling, "Meng Qiancheng is capable of anything."

He was Zhou Chenyan’s son, and some things in the bloodline couldn’t be changed; Lin Yu had always known.

Yet, Lin Yu hadn’t expected Meng Qiancheng to eliminate Zhou Chenyan so decisively and ruthlessly.

Zhou Lin folded his sleeves, his head raised nonchalantly, "What are you dawdling for, Meng Qiancheng?"

Meng Qiancheng was infuriated by his indifferent attitude, but ultimately, he was powerless because he didn’t want to die.

After all, with Zhou Chenyan gone, everything he owned would belong to Meng Qiancheng.

How could Meng Qiancheng bear to die?

Besides, seeing Zhou Lin’s composure, it was clear he had come prepared.

Losing everything from the Zhou family seemed to have had no impact on him.

Zhou Lin, unwilling to waste more words, got into the car.

In the end, no one made a move.

Meng Qiancheng’s expression darkened. He turned and got into his car, a slightly agitated female voice coming through, "Why didn’t you kill him?"

"I couldn’t," Meng Qiancheng said indifferently.

Of course, he had hoped that Zhou Lin would die there, but clearly, that wasn’t possible at the moment.

The woman muttered, covering her face, "Right, it’s not the time yet. No rush, we’ll catch them eventually."

"After all, Zhou Chenyan is dead."

...

Only when the car was far away did Lin Yu’s tense nerves finally relax.

Zhou Lin soothed her by patting her back.

It took Lin Yu a while to calm down her emotions before speaking, "What do we do next?"

Zhou Chenyan’s death had been sudden.

Zhou Lin looked outside the window, the corners of his mouth gently lifting, "I’ll take you to see Zhiwei. She’s in Sea City."

"This side..."

"Let them struggle." Zhou Lin had decided to make a feint to withdraw when he originally chose to step back, never intending to reclaim the Zhou family.

He wondered whether those bloodsuckers could get any blood from Meng Qiancheng.

Lin Yu sighed softly, the gunshot still ringing in her ears, chilling her to the bone.

"He actually killed Zhou Chenyan."

Lin Yu had never imagined Meng Qiancheng capable of such clean and decisive action.

Zhou Lin, however, understood, "Zhou Chenyan never treated him like his own son. Moreover, since arriving in Yucheng, Zhou Chenyan’s actions have been absurd, and Meng Qiancheng feared being implicated."

He was ambitious too.

Lin Yu frowned, "Who is this Yu Man you mentioned?"

"She’s probably Zhiwei’s birth mother." Zhou Lin rubbed his forehead. It wasn’t hard to investigate past events, but because so much time had passed, it took a while to start the search.

But once you grasp the vine, you can find the melon.

Clues were now emerging about the past.

"Did Zhou Chenyan force Yu Man to her death?" Lin Yu felt a tightness in her chest.

Zhou Lin didn’t hide anything and shared what he had discovered.

"Yu Man’s husband was Wen Yongan’s brother, Wen Yongning. Zhiwei should be a member of the Wen family."

The result of the paternity test would confirm it.

Lin Yu was astonished, recalling the past, "I remember Wen Yongning. Not long after I married Zhou Chenyan, he came to Yucheng. Then I heard he went abroad and there has been no news of him over the years."

She thought again of Cheng Zhiwei, sighing with sorrow, "The poor child, Zhou Chenyan did much harm."

Zhou Chenyan was born into wealth, and the Zhou family was strict, especially Old Master Zhou, who was famously stringent. By all rights, Zhou Chenyan should have turned out to be similar to Zhou Chenyuan in temperament.

Even if there were some differences, they wouldn’t be extreme.

However, his personality twisted to the other extreme.

The reasons are no longer traceable.

However, ultimately, Lin Yu did not go to Sea City; instead, she stayed at the Zhou family’s old house.

Her intentions were clear; Zhou Lin could do what he wanted, but she still had to protect all that belonged to Zhou Chenyuan.

Cheng Zhiwei received Lin Yu’s call and learned that they were safe. Zhou Chenyan was dead, and it was very likely that Meng Qiancheng would take control of the Zhou family in the future.

As for Zhou Lin, he would return to Sea City in a couple of days.

Cheng Zhiwei just hummed in response, consciously ignoring Zhou Lin’s name, told Lin Yu to take care of her health, and said she would bring Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing to visit her when she had time.

Lin Yu hung up the phone and asked Zhou Lin if he had made Cheng Zhiwei angry again.

Zhou Lin was somewhat stuffy and a bit bewildered, "When we staged our divorce for the performance, she cooperated well. I thought she had forgiven me. Now I realize she might have just not wanted me to be distracted, so she didn’t say anything."

At that time, she had probably already decided on her attitude towards him.

Whether it was love or hate, what hurt the most wasn’t hysteria but calm indifference.

Lin Yu scolded him for deserving it, "Not to mention the times she begged for scriptures for you, stayed up late to chat with you to open your heart, just her as a person should not be bullied by you like that."

"Now she still lets you see the kids and doesn’t make you sleep on the streets; you should count your blessings."

What Zhou Lin wanted wasn’t just this level of acceptance; he wanted all of her.

Including the status he deserved.

"With you, where do you get the right to complain?" Lin Yu bluntly countered him, "If you want to win her back, you’ll have to endure whatever she does."

"Besides, she’s already been gentle enough with you. If it were me, Zhou Chenyan would be your fate."

Zhou Chenyan had been exceedingly cruel and vile to Lin Yu to the bone, and without hesitation, Lin Yu chose to collaborate with Zhou Chenyuan and betray Zhou Chenyan.

Zhou Lin choked up, unsure of what to say for a while.

Should he be grateful that no such good and strong man had appeared by Cheng Zhiwei’s side?

"I understand." He sighed softly.

He was just venting a little, but he knew very well his current status.

Over in Sea City, Cheng Zhiwei went back to work after confirming safety.

Just arriving at the company, she encountered Ding Kun arguing with a woman about something.

The woman intentionally leaned into him, "Xiao Ding, just give the opportunity to your sister, okay? Once I’m famous, I’ll definitely repay you well."

Ding Kun retreated awkwardly, bumping into a pillar, "No way."

"You’re so stubborn, kid." The woman rolled her eyes, "That Cheng Zhiwei has been blocked by the entire net once; she won’t make it."

"It’s none of your business."

"You are really... hey, Bai Xue, come here for a sec." The woman beckoned Bai Xue over.

Bai Xue, who had just gotten out of the car, looked over from a distance and approached. True to her name, her demeanor was cool and aloof.

"What is it?"

"Get Xiao Ding to give me the resource he’s holding," the woman said, winking suggestively.

Ding Kun and Bai Xue’s relationship was no secret, which explained why Ding Kun was currently in a bad spot.

He looked at Bai Xue subconsciously, wanting to say something, but when he opened his mouth, his throat felt as if it was blocked, and he couldn’t say a word.
