The Perfect Heroine wants to Possess me {English Translation}

Chapter 26

The incandescent light brightened the quiet corridor, and the heavy footsteps of the man echoed.

Wei Qingyu looked at Chen Linji walking towards her, as if she had glimpsed a belated hope.

"Uncle Chen," Wei Qingyu nodded slightly.

Chen Linji responded, "Miss Wei, it's really been a long time since I saw you."

His voice remained as robust as ever, bringing a sense of reassurance to her.

She nodded, acknowledging that it had indeed been a long time since they last met. Even at her parents' funeral, she hadn't seen the uncle she used to encounter in her childhood.

Chen Linji explained, "I'm truly sorry, Miss Wei. I only reached out to you after half a year. At that time, I was far away in the Y country branch. When the Wei family faced tragedy, the company there also encountered some difficulties, causing the delay until now."

Wei Qingyu harbored no blame towards Chen Linji throughout the conversation.

She understood that under the shadow of the Ji family, those who had been close to the Wei family in the past would inevitably be suppressed by Ji Qingyun. Chen Linji, who held the second-highest friendship ranking with the Wei family, would likely be the primary target of Ji Qingyun's machinations.

Wei Qingyu observed the wear and tear on Chen Linji's face, comparing it to the six months spent under Ji Qingyun's constraints.

However, now that he had contacted her and spent nearly 200 million yuan to acquire the Wei family's villa, it indicated that he had successfully weathered the crisis.

That, in itself, was already quite commendable.

Smiling slightly at him, Wei Qingyu said, "Uncle, you're being too polite. You can call me Qingyu."

Chen Linji nodded, "Okay, Qingyu."

"Even though Mr. Wei is no longer with us, I always remember the kindness of the Wei family. Rest assured, I will definitely assist you in the future. Now, my dear, I would like to ask for your thoughts on your future plans."

Wei Qingyu replied, "I want to reclaim what my parents left for me."

Though her voice was gentle, her tone exuded determination.

Chen Linji nodded approvingly upon hearing her words, "Well, that's what Uncle must do for you. However, Qingyun's tactics are too devious this time. I've investigated. His claim to control the Wei family's assets is under the guise of the guardian to the minor heir of all the inheritance."

Chen Linji's eyes flashed with disdain and anger as he spoke. He hadn't expected Ji Qingyun to stoop to such levels.

In one moment, he was chatting amicably with Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei, showing deep connections, and in the next moment, he turned on them in an instant, revealing his true identity.

More than a decade of friendship was outweighed by financial gains. It was truly despicable and shameless.

"I'm aware of this," Wei Qingyu responded calmly.

Observing Chen Linji's eyes filled with hesitation and urgency, she proactively inquired, "So we can't act impulsively, right, Uncle Chen?"

"Yes," Chen Linji nodded. "I found out that in the past six months, Ji Qingyun secretly altered the name of the company under the Weishi Group, packaging it into an entirely different entity, attempting to diminish the weight of the inheritance piece by piece. He wants what comes to you in two years to be an empty shell.

"But you can rest assured that, although my company may seem significantly affected on the surface, its foundation remains solid. Now, Ji Qingyun is in the limelight, and we are in the shadows. Many things are easier to handle. When necessary, I will ensure he falls short."
