Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 790 - 789: Isn’t this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?
Lin Weihai was almost dragged out of the Li Family, pulled all the way to the entrance of the corridor.
Lin Weihai glared with wide eyes, angrily looking at Uncle Cheng beside him, and said, "Won’t your family’s Madam care about me anymore!"
He had wanted to say these words for a long time, but just now in front of Gong Qingwan, he didn’t have the courage. Now, facing the old steward Cheng, Lin Weihai inevitably became a bit more assertive.
"Master Lin, you can eat recklessly, but you can’t speak recklessly. You and my family’s Madam are unrelated. Why should Madam care about you?" Old Cheng was insightful; he clearly understood that Lin Weihai was now completely useless, so he would not show any leniency.
"You can’t say it like that... At the time... you said that the other party was a young girl with no family background. Now, in the blink of an eye, she’s become the Young Madam of the Feng Family. If it weren’t for your misleading information, how could I have offended the Feng Family..." Lin Weihai wanted to cry but had no tears.
Was he trying to act shamelessly and extort the Madam?
The corners of Old Cheng’s lips curled into a cold arc, and he smiled faintly, "The identity of the Second Young Madam was known to no one. If it weren’t for today’s accidental discovery by Master Lin, such an unexpected event would not have occurred!"
"So you’re blaming me then..." Isn’t this turning the tables on me? Clearly, it was your orders that led to this. If not, how could Lin Weihai have torn his face, not only offending the Li Family’s Eldest Young Master but also provoking the future Family Head of the Feng Family? It’s like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, being wrong inside and out.
"This can’t be blamed on anyone else, only that it was too coincidental." As a housekeeper for many years, Old Cheng had his own unique methods of handling matters. After thinking, he comforted Lin Weihai, "Master Lin, do not worry too much. Consider today’s events as if they never happened; everything depends on the outcome of future negotiations!"
Old Cheng did not speak in full but left half unsaid, though it was enough for Lin Weihai to understand his full meaning.
After today’s events, Lin Weihai was unmistakably on the same boat. Getting off now was impossible. Both the Li Family’s Eldest Young Master and the Feng Family would equate him with Gong Qingwan.
"I still don’t quite understand. Could you explain in more detail? So that I can resolve my confusion..."
The situation had developed to such a point that Lin Weihai was in a quandary. He could only temporarily grasp onto Old Cheng, this lifeline, hoping that he could offer some advice.
"As I said, Master Lin needs to say nothing and do nothing! Similarly, what you saw and know today must not be disclosed to others!"
In name, Old Cheng was helping Master Lin, but in reality, it was to cover up the news of Gu Tong’s identity.
After all, this matter was one that the Madam was determined not to let spread.
If people with ulterior motives learned of it, it would likely be exploited, causing even more trouble.
"I, I understand..." Lin Weihai said this, but his heart was not at peace. He felt as if his entire being was floating, as if he could be eliminated from the stage of history at any time.
Lin Weihai couldn’t help but think of the Gong Family’s Gong Chenli. Although he and Gong Qingwan were not born of the same mother, he was still a child of the Gong Family. When Gong Qingwan treated him previously, wasn’t it as if treating garbage...?
If it weren’t for Gong Chenli having his own strength and later ruling supreme, Gong Qingwan probably wouldn’t have acknowledged him at all.
Such is how she treats relatives; how much more so would she treat him, an unrelated outsider?
Lin Weihai was anxious and uneasy in his heart.
