Chapter 170 Leaving Her Out of the Light
Lin Wei wasn't the only one busy making phone calls.
Lin Jianguo also made various phone calls, contacting old colleagues and friends, hoping to ask them for help and pull some strings.
But it didn't work.
Zhang Guifang finally broke down, falling backward and slumping onto the sofa, panting heavily, looking as if the sky had fallen.
"Oh no, Weiwei, what should we do?"
"Your dad asked so many people for help, but they all said they couldn't help and advised us to stop making trouble."
"Another attack with a weapon, and the victim hasn't even forgiven me... It's all over... My son! My son—! It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"
Lin Wei, with her face swollen on one side, looked at Lin Jianguo.
Lin Jianguo could no longer stand up straight. He smoked one cigarette after another, and the ashtray was full of cigarette ash and stubbed cigarette butts.
He said with his head drooping and a sigh.
"I had a friend who has retired, and he said that if this situation happened, your brother would definitely be sentenced to prison! He would at least serve a year or two in jail."
"What are we going to do? Your brother is so young. If he really goes to jail for this, what will happen to him? His future will be ruined!"
At this time.
Zhang Guifang mustered her last bit of strength and jumped up from the sofa.
She lunged forward and grabbed her daughter's shoulders tightly, her fingernails almost digging into her flesh.
"Weiwei, only you can save your brother now! Beg Chen Yuan, please beg him. If he signs a letter of forgiveness, your brother will be alright!"
Lin Jianguo was startled awake when the cigarette between his fingers burned down to the filter and burned his fingers.
He suddenly realized that he had misjudged his son-in-law before.
He always thought the other person had a good temper and was easy to talk to, so his family didn't take them too seriously. But he never expected that after the divorce, he would find out how difficult the other person was to deal with.
His face was ashen, and his voice was weak.
"We used to think he was easy to manipulate, but now... he's injured and has a medical report. If Chen Yuan is determined to send your brother to jail, there's nothing we can do."
Lin Wei bit her lower lip tightly.
On the one hand, she was disappointed in her younger brother, and on the other hand, she felt a little guilty. If she hadn't pretended to dissuade him, but hadn't actually tried to stop him, this wouldn't have happened.
The air in the room seemed to be getting thinner and thinner.
The three people were collapsing simultaneously in the confined space.
Zhang Guifang's crying gradually subsided, turning into desperate sobs.
……
I had a good night's sleep.
Morning light streamed through the sheer curtains of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, softly illuminating the beige carpet.
Chen Yuan rarely gets a good night's sleep. He opened his eyes, stretched, and felt that the soreness in his shoulders and back had subsided by more than half.
He had just propped himself up when a small head peeked out from the headboard.
"Daddy's awake!"
Chen Youyou was wearing her favorite pink bunny pajamas. She climbed onto the bed barefoot and pressed her soft little hands directly against Chen Yuan's face.
"Youyou, I've been waiting for you for so long! Aunt Xiaoxue said the hotel breakfast today has strawberry pancakes. Daddy, would you like some strawberry pancakes?"
Chen Yuan chuckled softly.
Seeing my daughter's little face when I open my eyes first thing in the morning is the greatest happiness.
He took the opportunity to pull his daughter into his arms and gently rubbed his nose against her soft, fragrant hair.
"You little glutton, all you ever think about is food. Did you sleep well last night?"
Although Chen Youyou slept with him, it was Su Qingxue who coaxed her to sleep.
"Okay! Aunt Xiaoxue told several stories. Rui Rui fell asleep before me, and when he snores, it sounds just like a little frog, it's so funny!"
Chen Youyou giggled and kicked the blanket restlessly with her little feet.
Chen Yuan pinched her nose. Although it is said that children speak without thinking, parents should still correct them as early as possible.
"You can't say other kids look like little frogs, that's really bad. It'll make them sad. If someone says you sleep like a little pig, would you be angry?"
"Hmm... a little bit."
"Yes, Youyou is so obedient, she truly is her father's good daughter."
The sounds of the father and daughter playing and laughing filled the quiet room.
It instantly filled the whole room with a joyful atmosphere.
"Knock knock".
There was a gentle knock on the door.
After receiving permission, Su Qingxue pushed open the door and came in, carrying two children's toiletries bags. Her hair was slightly damp, indicating that she had just washed her face.
She saw the father and daughter on the bed, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.
"Youyou, Ruirui has already squeezed toothpaste into the bathroom and is waiting for you. Go wash your face, the strawberry pancakes will be served soon."
"Okay!"
Chen Youyou slid off Chen Yuan's arms and ran towards the door in her slippers.
As she passed Su Qingxue, she didn't forget to turn back and blow a kiss to her father.
Su Qingxue walked to the bedside, placed a glass of warm water on the bedside table, and looked at Chen Yuan's face.
"Senior brother, did you sleep well last night? Does your back still hurt? Youyou just went out, how about I take a look at it for you?"
Chen Yuan got up and drank all the warm water.
"I'm fine, much better, I don't feel anything particularly bad anymore."
"That's good. Then hurry up and get up and wash up. We'll eat in your room later."
"OK."
After Su Qingxue left.
Chen Yuan's gaze fell on the cell phone on the bedside table.
He picked up his phone to check if anyone had messaged him last night, but the moment the screen lit up, he was startled by the notification bar.
147 missed calls
[Software Messages 99+]
All of these messages were sent by Lin Wei.
Chen Yuan opened the interface and found voice text, extremely long voice messages, and even messy screenshots, one after another.
The time was from 8 or 9 pm until 3 am.
Chen Yuan glanced at it and then tossed the phone aside.
He was well aware of the principles of negotiation.
Now that he has the upper hand, he naturally wants to wait until Lin Wei's family is completely broken down before negotiating.
There's no rush.
Not long after that.
The staff pushed a food cart and filled almost half of the dining table in the room.
There are two of the kids' favorite freshly made strawberry pancakes, drizzled with amber-colored maple syrup, and topped with fresh and plump strawberries.
In addition to these, there is smoked salmon with poached eggs.
Toasted bread and handmade butter, along with a vegetable salad made with more than a dozen kinds of vegetables.
Freshly baked bacon, warm milk and oatmeal porridge, and freshly squeezed juice, etc.
Compared to Chinese breakfasts, Western breakfasts are not as fragrant, but the presentation is quite exquisite, with colorful dishes that make them very appetizing.
The two little ones couldn't wait to eat the strawberry pancakes.
Wearing a children's bib with cartoon patterns, she used the fork clumsily but very earnestly.
Chen Youyou took a bite of the waffle with great relish. The sweet and sour taste of strawberries mixed with the creamy aroma of butter, along with the flavor of maple syrup, melted in her mouth.
She squinted her eyes happily, her legs swaying back and forth.
"Aunt Xiaoxue's order is so delicious! It's so soft and sweet!"
