“In that case, don’t blame me,” a smile once again graced Lin Wan’s charming face.
Lin Wan hailed from the prestigious Lin family, one of the aristocratic households on the capital planet. Although not on par with the five great aristocratic families like the Wei family, the Lin family had longstanding ties with them. Lin Wan and Wei Nan had grown up together, their lives intertwined since childhood.
In the early years of their marriage, Wei Nan showered Lin Wan with genuine affection. Leveraging the influence of the Lin family, she aided Wei Nan in solidifying his position as the head of the Wei family.
Expecting a lifetime of happiness with Wei Nan, Lin Wan was disheartened to discover his affair with a retired female soldier. By the time she learned of his infidelity, the child he had fathered with the soldier was already born. Lin Wan’s Imowledge of this stemmed from paparazzi capturing clandestine moments of Wei Nan shopping with the child and the soldier.
Infuriated by Wei Nan’s actions, Lin Wan contemplated divorce. However, her love for him eventually prevailed. Yielding to Wei Nan’s pleading, her heart softened, and she chose not to divorce him.
Instead, Lin Wan demanded that Wei Nan sever ties with the female soldier and create a will that designated only herself and their son, Wei Xuan, as the rightful inheritors of the Wei family. This decision led her to turn a blind eye to the existence of her illegitimate daughter, Wei Xin. Furthermore, she agreed to allow Wei Nan to bring Wei Xin back to the Wei family after the female soldier was admitted to a mental hospital.
The thought of Wei Xin brought a hearty laugh to Lin Wan’s lips. Initially, she harbored a trace of unhappiness due to Wei Xin’s surpassing talents compared to her own son. Yet, she had now found great joy in it.
Having experienced the hardships of warfare, Wei Xin’s birth mother had endured significant mental trauma. Initially, when she gave birth to Wei Xin, she appeared well. However, as she gradually uncovered Wei Nan’s deceit, her condition deteriorated. She directed her anger and violence towards one-year-old Wei Xin, leaving the child yearning for maternal love and exceedingly cautious around others.
To nurture her own son, Wei Xuan, Lin Wan had bestowed considerable love and care upon Wei Xin over the years. In turn, Wei Xin regarded her as a mother figure.
Now that Wei Xuan had reached an age suitable for inheriting the family business, Lin Wan felt justified in casting aside their spousal bond and disregarding their relationship entirely, given Wei Nan’s disdain for her. So, if he resented her for her apparent callousness, he had no one but himself to blame.
Wei Nan, who had departed from the Wei family’s former residence, found himself rushing to the company in a flying car. Little did he anticipate that a single look and a careless word from him would lead his wife to abandon their relationship and allow their recently matured son to assume control of the Wei family.
“Hurry up!” Wei Nan impatiently urged the chauffeur, oblivious to the circumstances.
The chauffeur awkwardly responded, “Sir, there has been an accident up ahead. The police are managing the situation.”
“What’s there to fear? If we don’t have a car, we’ll simply bypass it. Later, you can seek reimbursement from Liu Su!”
“Yes, sir.” Reluctantly, the chauffeur complied, mustering his resolve to maneuver across the road as soon as the police momentarily turned away.
“???” The police officer was taken aback by the sight of the flying car. In the next moment, his colleague swiftly reacted and promptly activated the siren to pursue Wei Nan’s airborne vehicle.
This spectacle caught the attention of numerous individuals within the Alliance. Some even recognized the license plate of the Wei family’s flying car and proceeded to capture photos, which they promptly shared on the Star Web.
By the time Wei Nan reached the company, a video titled “The Wei Family Disregards Police Instructions” had already garnered substantial online traction.
Inside the company building, the President’s assistant, Liu Su, grappled with the crisis in public relations. Upon hearing his subordinate mention the incident, he was on the verge of berating Wei Nan for his foolishness. However, he managed to retain his composure, mindful of Wei Nan’s status as his superior. With a displeased expression, he reluctantly opened the Al to search for the aforementioned video.
Wei Nan, you imbecile!
After watching the footage, Liu Su silently scolded Wei Nan, before helplessly contacting him. “Mr. President, why did you disregard the police instructions earlier and forcefully pass through the blockade?”
Unbeknownst to Wei Nan, the incident had already generated significant online attention. Currently inside the elevator, he casually answered Liu Su’s call, saying, “I was rushing to the company to handle the medicine situation and encountered a blockade. No need to be so tense. Just remember to reimburse the chauffeur for the fine later.”
‘ Liu Su sighed, holding the Al device, overwhelmed by a profound sense of helplessness. It seemed his luck was truly dismal to be saddled with such a foolish boss..
