After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Chapter 782: I can’t do it anymore, I’m exhausted physically and mentally

Song Jinwen had just been ridiculed by Lin Gantang, and now, with those piercing eyes staring at her, it seemed as if Lin had seen through her thoughts.

She bit her lip and turned to find someone else.

Lin Gantang scoffed lightly.

She approached Lin Zhaonan, “Brother, I want to go back.”

Lin Zhaonan glanced over at Shang You and his group, finding them uninteresting, “Let’s go back, stop by my villa, I’ll say goodbye to President Shang first.”

Lin Gantang leaned against the car door, waiting for him.

It was unclear what he had discussed with Shang You, but after a handshake, Lin Zhaonan headed back towards her.

“Where’s your car? Lead the way.”

Lin Gantang went to fetch her car.

It was Lin Zhaonan’s first visit to her villa, and he followed Lin Gantang, taking note of the route.

The villa was close by, and it didn’t take long to arrive.

Lin Zhaonan parked next to her car and stepped out, listening as Lin Gantang asked, “Brother, how far along is our interaction with ES Corporation?”

“The extent of it doesn’t matter. I’m going to reconsider whether Lin Corporation will collaborate with them.” Lin Zhaonan walked alongside her and said, “After today, no matter what he and Shang Hui are scheming, I’ve pretty much figured out his character. I don’t plan to get too involved.”

Lin Gantang, too, had only an average impression of Shang You and liked Shang Hui even less.

The targeting from Shang Hui was obvious, and Lin Gantang couldn’t help but ponder, “Brother, have you had any disputes with them before?”

“Not that I can recall. Both in business and private, I haven’t had much to do with Shang You or ES Corporation before this, so where would any dispute come from?” said Lin Zhaonan, “Don’t worry. I’ll handle it. You don’t need to overthink.”

Lin Gantang nodded, “In the future, if you encounter any tricky situations, you can talk to me. Even if I don’t understand, there’s Yanqing. Like today, the fact that you thought of me when you needed a lady companion, I had fun.”

Lin Zhaonan’s thoughts instantly shifted from work to the car racing earlier, still feeling the terrifying sensation of his heart almost racing out of his chest.

Upon entering the villa, Lin Zhaonan had no interest in admiring the surroundings and went straight to find Wen Yanqing.

Wen Yanqing had only just returned from his study to his room, where Yi Qian had left, and he was now resting with his eyes closed. Soon, he opened his eyes, looking at the extreme blurriness of the furniture’s shadow in front of him, and slowly reached out to touch it.

He heard Lin Gantang and Lin Zhaonan’s voices and left the room to approach them.

“Tangtang.” He looked toward the figure beside Lin Gantang, “Brother? You’re back so soon.”

Lin Zhaonan strode forward, taking Wen Yanqing’s hand, “Brother-in-law, listen to me. Next time, no matter who asks Gantang to race, don’t let her, including me.”

Confused, Wen Yanqing asked, “Why?”

Because others play with cars, but she gambles with her life. She revealed her skills today and almost cost him dearly, and Lin Zhaonan was shaken, “Because of love, because of responsibility, because being alive is truly wonderful.”

Wen Yanqing, “?” I don’t understand what you’re saying.

Lin Gantang, “?” When did her brother become so mystically verbose, had he left his brain on the racetrack and forgotten to pick it up?

Lin Zhaonan pushed Lin Gantang into Wen Yanqing’s arms, hardly daring to breathe, “I’ve brought her back to you. Take good care of her from now on, you’re in charge. I can’t do it anymore, I’m completely exhausted, lend me a room to rest in.”

Still in a fog, Wen Yanqing had Rongrong show him to a guest room, then asked Lin Gantang, “What’s wrong with him?”

Lin Gantang rested her chin on her hands, deep in thought, “His racing skills are a bit crappy. Do you think he feels inferior because he was outclassed by my driving?”

Wen Yanqing paused, “Inferior enough to be ‘completely exhausted’?”

Lin Gantang sincerely hummed in agreement, “Today, I clinched the first place for him. It must have touched him deeply.”

Wen Yanqing, Why do I only hear ‘deeply touched’ in Lin Zhaonan’s tone, and where’s the part about being ‘moved’?
