Chapter 6 A Cluster of Flames

Lin Tianyuan obviously noticed this too. His tall body stood in front of Wei Yiyi, who wanted to say something. Lin Tianyuan, who had been a king in the business world that was good at convincing his opponents, chose to be straightforward on this day.

"Uncle Wei, I don't have too much to say. Since it's your family business, please go home and shut the door if you want to talk about this. It is in the company. If you want to see consecutive limit-downs of the securities in your company for your endless pestering, I don't mind using my spare money to purchase the Wei Group."

Lin Tianyuan stood with his hands behind his back. He didn't do anything, but it was as if he was looking down on the world.

After hearing this, even though Wei Yiyi knew that Lin Tianyuan wouldn't really do such a wicked thing, she couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth.

He was not bragging or bluffing at all. Lin Tianyuan had the ability and the means.

In City A, no one could defeat Lin Tianyuan in terms of arrogance and aura.

Wei Chengze suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. There was no more rebuttal in his mouth. He looked at Wei Yiyi with a soft gaze, hoping that she would give him a way out.

After all, as an old man, Wei Chengze was ashamed of being commented like this.

However, Wei Yiyi were hurt too badly by them. After receiving Wei Chengze's gaze, she remained unmoved. Wei Yiyi lowered her head and did not say a word.

The sunlight shone into the huge transparent glass. It was bright and soft, but it carried an awkward stillness. All of a sudden, there were only heavy breaths in the previouly crowded hall.

The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds. Lin Tianyuan looked indifferent, and he had no intention of giving in.

Wei Chengze let go of Yan Congxue's hand and took a step back in embarrassment. His face was ashen, "Alright, I'll leave."

Lin Tianyuan nodded. He didn't mean to beat the underdog up. He only meant that he was clear. But in Yan Congxue's eyes, it represented disdain and ridicule.

Yan Congxue glared at Wei Yiyi fiercely. She originally wanted to tarnish Wei Yiyi's reputation, but she did not expect that Lin Tianyuan, who suddenly came out, would ruin her plan.

Yan Congxue let out a long sigh of helplessness, then grabbed her handbag and turned to chase after Wei Chengze.

Lin Tianyuan withdrew his gaze and glanced at the staff around him who were still unwilling to leave. In the end, he turned his gaze to Wei Yiyi.

"Wei Yiyi, come up with me, we'll talk about this contract." Lin Tianyuan opened his mouth, strode upstairs, and did not give anyone the slightest chance to refuse.

After hesitating for a while, Wei Yiyi clenched the corners of her clothes and finally followed Lin Tianyuan's steps.

Stepping on the soft carpet in the reception room, Lin Tianyuan walked towards the dark gray sofa. Lin Tianyuan had already been familiar with the reception room because of an important project being discussed recently between Lin Group and Seashore Group.

"Come here." Lin Tianyuan casually sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed and hooked his fingers at Wei Yiyi, who stood at the door. His aura was not as overbearing as before.

"Well, Boss Lin, I will sort out the project report as soon as possible. I will definitely not delay the cooperation between our group and Lin Group. If there is nothing else, I will go back first." Wei Yiyi stood still at the door. Her polite "Boss Lin" sounded a little distant.

Lin Tianyuan looked at her face, which was still swollen, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know what it felt like, but he was sure that he didn't like to see the red palm print, and he didn't like the sense of distance that Wei Yiyi had created for him.

Lin Tianyuan, who had always followed his own wishes, picked up an unopened bottle of mineral water from his desk and handed it to Wei Yiyi, "There's no ice. Just use this to apply to your face."

Wei Yiyi subconsciously went to take it, but her hand suddenly shrank back halfway, "No need. Thank you, Boss Lin."

"Didn't I tell you to call me Tianyuan?" Lin Tianyuan couldn't be patient anymore and he directly pressed the bottle of mineral water onto Wei Yiyi's miserable little face.

"Fizz..." The cold caused Wei Yiyi to take a deep breath. Lin Tianyuan was so strengthful that he hurt Wei Yiyi's pain-sensing nerves again. Her body trembled, and tears of grievance rolled out of her eyes without warning. They fell on Lin Tianyuan's hands one by one.

The movement in his hand instantly became gentler. Lin Tianyuan looked down at the tears on Wei Yiyi's face and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

"Why didn't you try to avoid this? Are you used to being bullied?" He squeezed the bottle tightly and gently wiped the tears on Wei Yiyi's face with the back of his hand. His tone was filled with compassion that he had not even noticed.

This move really exceeded the ordinary business cooperation. It was even more inappropriate given Wei Yiyi had been Lin Tianyuan's sister-in-law. Wei Yiyi took a step back and pushed away Lin Tianyuan's hand, then leaned on the door frame.

"How my character was developed is not what we should discuss now. If Boss Lin has nothing else to do, I will go back to work." Wei Yiyi rolled up her sleeves and stubbornly wiped away her tears. From today onwards, she did not want anyone including the man in front of her now, who was the biological brother of that scumbag Lin Xiangzhe, to see her weakness again.

Probably because of Wei Yiyi's perfunctory words, Lin Tianyuan suddenly felt a wicked fire in his heart. He had helped this woman twice with good intentions, but he didn't expect that it seemed like it was him who caused trouble.

He stretched out his long arms and locked Wei Yiyi who was about to turn around and leave tightly in the corner between his arms and doorframe. A playful look appeared on Lin Tianyuan's usually expressionless face.

Wei Yiyi was stunned and tried to escape from his armpit, but her collar was then pulled back by Lin Tianyuan.

"I'm your sister-in-law. Don't you think this is too frivolous?"

Lin Tianyuan suddenly smiled. The man who had never curled his lips actually smiled warmly. He stared at Wei Yiyi's almond-colored pupils and said seriously, "Unfortunately, you won't be my sister-in-law so soon."

Wei Yiyi's heart suddenly thumped. She instinctively avoided the man's burning gaze. She used all her strength to push Lin Tianyuan away and ran to her office without looking back.

......

The leaves of the succulent plants placed beside the computer had all been pulled out by Wei Yiyi. She recalled what had happened in the reception room and started to feel burning again.

Wei Yiyi didn't know if it was her illusion or not, but she always felt that this Lin Tianyuan was somehow familiar with her.

"Yiyi, are you going to the restaurant after work?" Her colleague Qian's reminder brought Wei Yiyi back to reality.

She nodded and was about to agree when she touched her pocket. She remembered that her wallet had also been left at the hallway of the house because she had been in a hurry yesterday.

Well, maybe it would not be her home anymore.

"Yiyi, do you want to go or not? I'm starving." Qian could not help but call out again.

The stomach growled at the right time, and Wei Yiyi who had not eaten for three meals finally felt hungry. She smiled awkwardly and said to Qian, "No, you go ahead. I'll go home for lunch."

"Alright..." Qian nodded her head meaningfully, a trace of contempt flashing across her eyes.

Everybody knew that Wei Yiyi's parents had come to the company to cause trouble. How could Wei Yiyi go home for lunch with the parents who just had a quarrel with her?
