Chapter 175: Tonight, I can make an exception once

"At dinner later, tell my father that you like me." Sun Weiwei said seriously, her beautiful eyes focused.

Whoosh! Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression changed!

"Miss Sun, this… this isn't right…"

Sun Weiwei, however, stared at him seriously: "I know it's awkward for you to say this out loud, but you must say… My father wants to completely control you; he plans to use my previous method to frame you for a crime, then hold that criminal evidence over you, thus fully controlling and using you. But if you tell my father that you like me, he won't force you to commit a crime. Do you understand?"

Lin Yuan's expression was complex; he hadn't expected Sun Licheng to indeed be as ruthless and vicious as imagined.

"If I say I like you, he won't force me to commit a crime?" Lin Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Yes, if you like me, as long as you become my lapdog, my father will think I can control and manipulate you, so you won't need to commit a crime. I'm doing this to help you, understand?" Sun Weiwei said solemnly.

Even she herself didn't know why she wanted to help Lin Yuan.

In short, Lin Yuan is her man; she cannot let her man be forced by her father to commit a crime.

"Okay." Lin Yuan nodded.

Only then did Sun Weiwei relax, bringing Lin Yuan into the house.

Inside the Sun Family villa, a family banquet had already been prepared.

It was prepared by the nanny auntie.

Father Sun Licheng was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

Mother Gao Qin was also peeling an apple nearby.

Seeing his daughter and Lin Yuan enter… Sun Licheng then put down the newspaper.

"You've come?" Sun Licheng, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, flashed a deep smile.

"Assistant Lin, welcome to my home; in the days ahead… we'll have pleasant cooperation." Sun Licheng said, extending his hand.

Lin Yuan also hurried forward and shook hands with Sun Licheng.

"General Manager Sun, hello."

Although Sun Licheng was ruthless, he still appeared kind and approachable on the surface, greeting, "Come, Assistant Lin, take a seat; we're eating."

Lin Yuan and Sun Weiwei sat at the dining table.

Sun Licheng and his wife Gao Qin sat to the side.

The family of four sat like that at the table and began eating.

Sun Licheng opened his treasured Dragon Year limited-edition Moutai and began to entertain Lin Yuan with drinks.

"Assistant Lin, from now on we're in the same boat. From now on, if you work well for me, I, Sun Licheng, will certainly not shortchange you." Sun Licheng said with a deep voice and a smile.

"Yes! Thank you, General Manager Sun, for your favor." Lin Yuan hurriedly clinked glasses.

The two each finished their drinks, after which Sun Licheng slowly said, "Xiao Lin, although you appear on the surface to be Su Monong's assistant, behind the scenes you're helping us. So you must be extremely careful; you must never let Su Monong Fa detect any trace, understand?"

Lin Yuan nodded solemnly: "Yes, I understand."

At the table, the two continued drinking.

After three rounds of drinks, Sun Licheng suddenly asked, "Xiao Lin, I'm curious—Su Monong isn't bad to you either; tell me, why did you suddenly defect to my daughter?"

Lin Yuan hesitated a moment, then said, "General Manager Sun… because I like Sun Weiwei. I… want to be with her."

To act the part fully, in order to make Father and Daughter Sun believe.

So Lin Yuan could only lie at this point.

"Oh? You like my daughter?" Sun Licheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his deep gaze fixed on Lin Yuan.

"How much do you like her?" Sun Licheng suddenly countered.

Lin Yuan replied, "I'm willing to do anything for her!"

Upon saying that, Lin Yuan's persona was established.

He, it was for Sun Weiwei that he betrayed Su Monong.

That also makes sense.

Sun Licheng's expression turned grave; he said deeply, "Assistant Lin, forgive my frankness, but your conditions are too poor. You and my daughter are impossible."

But after Sun Licheng took a sip of wine, he suddenly added, "However… unless you can prove your ability. If you can help us overthrow Su Monong, letting me become the company's next chairman, then… perhaps I can entrust my daughter to you."

"Dad… I haven't even decided yet!" At that moment, Sun Weiwei beside him pouted.

Sun Licheng, however, patted his chest and said, "Xiao Lin, as long as you can overthrow Su Monong, I, as the father, will decide on my daughter's matter; I will betroth my daughter to you. Let you join my Sun family and become my son-in-law. What do you think?"

Sun Licheng truly is a seasoned veteran of the jianghu.

His words first slapped Lin Yuan, then suddenly handed him a candy!

Thus, he completely grasped Lin Yuan's thoughts.

Lin Yuan remained silent for a long while, then slowly nodded, "Yes! General Manager Sun, I will definitely help you overthrow Su Monong. For Weiwei!"

"Hahaha! Good! Come, Assistant Lin, let's have another drink, hoping you'll enter my Sun family and become my worthy son-in-law!" Sun Licheng laughed heartily, then downed another cup with Lin Yuan.

At the table, Sun Weiwei watched the two toast, and secretly let out a breath.

Regarding this hurdle from her father, Lin Yuan had passed it.

From now on, Lin Yuan would thoroughly be a member of her Sun family faction. This person is completely trustworthy and can be heavily relied upon.

At the table, only Mother Gao Qin stared at Lin Yuan with icy beautiful eyes, her gaze cold and unfriendly.

As a mother, Gao Qin naturally held high expectations for her daughter.

Lin Yuan, this loser grassroots, naturally wouldn't catch Gao Qin's eye.

With her daughter's excellent qualities, she surely must marry an outstanding man; a union of the two families would thus further strengthen the clan.

Such a grassroots like Lin Yuan is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, throughout, Gao Qin gave Lin Yuan no pleasant expression, wearing a cold demeanor.

At the table, Gao Qin even spoke multiple times, mocking and sneering at Lin Yuan.

She asked how much his monthly income was, and where his hometown was.

Gao Qin's words were filled with endless mockery.

Lin Yuan didn't mind either; after all, it was just an act, everyone was merely performing for each other.

After finishing the family dinner, it was already 8 p. m.

Sun Weiwei personally drove and took Lin Yuan home.

Inside the Sun family villa, they waited for the daughter and Lin Yuan to leave.

Gao Qin crossed her arms, coldly saying, "Sun Licheng, you wouldn't really let that dog-thing Lin Yuan into our Sun family's door, would you? He's a worthless good-for-nothing, completely unworthy of our daughter."

Sun Licheng sat on the sofa, lit a cigar, and sneered, "Heh, wife, what are you thinking? Just that loser Lin Yuan, could he ever enter our Sun family's door? Maybe in the next life."

Gao Qin coldly said, "Then why were you so nice to him just now, and made all kinds of promises?"

Sun Licheng sneered, "Heh, I said that just to give him hope. I still need to use him, so I must give him some hope and sweetness to fully control him. You, a woman, wouldn't understand this."

Gao Qin then realized, "Sun Licheng, no matter what game you're playing, I warn you: I will never allow that loser Lin Yuan into our Sun family's door. Otherwise, we'll have no end."

Sun Licheng sneered, "Rest assured, Lin Yuan will never enter our Sun family's door in this lifetime. He wants to marry my daughter? Not even in the next life, heh."

……

Night, Hangcheng.

Along the way, the Ferrari SF90 sports car roared on the night road.

At 8 p. m., Hangcheng remained brightly lit, with cars flowing nonstop on the streets and pedestrians bustling on both sides.

Hangcheng is a tourist city, receiving over a million visitors each day.

Therefore, the city's nightlife is endless.

"Lin Yuan, sorry for letting you suffer tonight." Sun Weiwei said softly while driving the Ferrari.

Lin Yuan sat in the passenger seat, startled by the words, "Wronged?"

"My mother just gave you a cold face at the table and even mocked you… I apologize on her behalf." Sun Weiwei said.

Even she herself didn't know why she was saying such apologetic words to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan then reacted, saying indifferently, "Eh, it's fine. I'm used to it. For someone like me, being mocked is normal."

Sun Weiwei's beautiful eyes were complex as she glanced at Lin Yuan.

His conditions were indeed poor.

So, has he grown accustomed to this mockery?

Sun Weiwei's heart inexplicably softened.

"Lin Yuan, actually what my father just said is all true." Sun Weiwei suddenly said.

"Huh?" Lin Yuan looked at her doubtfully.

"As long as you help me overthrow Su Monong, whether my father agrees or not, I… am willing to be with you." Sun Weiwei, as if making a great decision, took a deep breath and said.

Lin Yuan hesitated for a long time, then nodded and said, "I will try."

Sun Weiwei slowly drove the car, encountering a red light ahead. She lightly pressed the brake, and the Ferrari stopped at the intersection.

The engine's idle sound echoed in the night street; on the sidewalk, many tourist pedestrians were crossing the road, and the tourists all turned their heads, gazing enviously at the Ferrari.

"Actually, I've been living quite tiredly." Sun Weiwei, sitting in the car, suddenly said.

"Huh? Miss Sun, you're still tired? Your family has so much money…" Lin Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Heh? Does having money make things easy? Do you know what kind of environment I live in? My parents have strictly supervised me since childhood, urging me to study well. From kindergarten onward, my grades have been first in the class. Elementary school, middle school… high school, university… I've spent every day in tutoring and training classes. Finally, I got into a first-tier university, a 985. I even studied abroad. Yet despite all my effort, why am I still unable to surpass Su Zhiyuan? At the company, she relies on her mother's connections to easily become a vice president, only half a level below my father. Meanwhile, after all those years of effort, I can only be a vice manager. I'm unwilling." Sun Weiwei lightly bit her teeth and said softly.

Lin Yuan startled?

He never expected that Sun Weiwei actually had this competitive, comparative mindset with Su Zhiyuan.

"So I've been striving to surpass Su Zhiyuan my whole life. Whatever Su Zhiyuan buys, I must have something better. She bought a 5 million yuan Ferrari 5488, so I bought an 8 million yuan Ferrari SF90. She bought a 500,000 yuan watch, so I bought a 1,000,000 yuan one! I refuse to be outdone by her. Her grades aren't better than mine, her work ability isn't stronger than mine, and I refuse to lose! Therefore, I must seize control of the Su Group." Sun Weiwei said in a cold tone.

"Lin Yuan, can I trust you?" She looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with complexity and anticipation.

Lin Yuan nodded, "Miss Sun, rest assured, I will help you."

"Thank you." Sun Weiwei's beautiful eyes seemed to redden slightly as she suddenly leaned in, her gorgeous red lips… sealing Lin Yuan's mouth……

"Thank you, as a reward, tonight I can make an exception…" Sun Weiwei said softly, her voice tinged with a hint of shyness……
