I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 335 An Encounter at the Bookstore
After saying that, Wei Lin urged Lin Ping to get out of the car.

Ever since Lin Ping mentioned their chance encounter in Shanghai in front of He Jingxuan at the gym, he felt that this woman was too tactless.

Today, he deliberately bought Qingque's training clothes from Yan Yu in advance, which is even more incomprehensible.

In Wei Lin's opinion, it's best to keep a respectful distance from women like Lin Ping.

"Did Xiaozhi do something wrong?"

Lin Ping inquired.

Wei Lin frowned, growing increasingly impatient, and said coldly, "I have other things to do!"

After a sigh, Lin Ping finally stopped arguing, opened the car door, and got out.

The Land Cruiser sped away.

……

Having been rebuffed by Wei Lin, Lin Ping returned to her car dejectedly and immediately arranged to have dinner with Feng Yuzhi.

Her connection with Wei Lin, and how Wei Lin helped her get an order from Dongxing Group by asking Fang Qidong to intercede for her in Shanghai, were essentially due to her acting as a go-between for An Xin and Feng Yuzhi.

That's why Wei Lin was willing to help her in the first place.

Now that An Xin and Feng Yuzhi are having a conflict, and it's An Xin who's determined to break up, she knows for a second that the problem must lie with Feng Yuzhi.

An Xin is an honest man, and she saw how infatuated he was with Feng Yuzhi last time.

Therefore, she knew very well that An Xin's temper tantrum must be due to something Feng Yuzhi did wrong, which must have provoked An Xin.

……

That evening, at a Western restaurant.

"Xiao Zhi, explain yourself clearly, what exactly caused this situation between you two?"

Lin Ping's face turned frosty as she coldly said, "Because of your matter, his brother Wei Lin gave me the cold shoulder! I was the one who introduced him to you, and you hurt An Xin, making it impossible for me to face Wei Lin!"

Feng Yuzhi, who had specifically sought out Xinlin but was still coldly rejected by Anxin, felt dejected and disappointed.

Upon hearing this, she stopped hiding anything and told the whole story of what happened that night at Zhao Fulong's private club.

“Sister Ping, I didn’t do anything particularly outrageous! An Xin was pestering me every day back then, and I also had some things to take care of at home, so I ignored him at the dinner table.”

"He insisted on drinking, and then got himself completely drunk. How can you blame me for that?"

"I even went to Xinlin to find him and begged for his forgiveness, but he wouldn't agree!"

Feng Yuzhi vented her resentment and dissatisfaction.

Lin Ping was secretly alarmed after hearing this and asked, "You mean that besides Zhao Yuanqing and Huo Shiqi, Han Jie, Huang Xingzhi, and Qian Zixu were also at the dinner party that night? And that Miss Fu from Shanghai, is her name Fu Jintang? And there was also a female celebrity, Li Qinling?"

She had heard through various channels that Wei Lin had extensive connections, but she was still taken aback.

Han Jie, Huang Xingzhi, and Qian Zixu are all the most famous rich second-generation in Linjiang City, especially Han Jie, who is someone she can only look up to but never reach.

Wei Lin called these people together, and Feng Yuzhi was fortunate enough to participate, which inadvertently offended Wei Lin's younger brother.

In her opinion, Feng Yuzhi was truly incredibly stupid!
Yes, these are the people you're talking about.

Feng Yuzhi lowered her head and said softly, "I respect these people a lot, and I've always toasted them. But they..."

She then recounted that after Wei Lin helped An Xin into the restroom, the others all looked down on her and no one paid any attention to her toasts. She then said aggrievedly, "An Xin isn't familiar with them either! I can tell that it's the first time An Xin has met them, but they all stood up for An Xin and bullied a young girl like me!"

"I used to think you were pretty smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid!" Lin Ping sneered, "You think they're giving An Xin face? Bullshit! The person they're really giving face to is Wei Lin! An Xin is Wei Lin's brother. If you weren't dating An Xin, you wouldn't even be qualified to attend a dinner like that!"

"It wasn't An Xin who called me, it was Huo Shiqi who called me!" Feng Yuzhi said, dissatisfied.

"Hehe!" Lin Ping scoffed, "Even without An Xin, Huo Shiqi wouldn't have called you! Xiao Zhi, you really can't see things clearly, you think too highly of yourself!"

"You have no idea how powerful Wei Lin's network of connections is in our Linjiang City!"

"At that dinner party, Wei Lin didn't personally confront you; that was because he was giving Huo Shiqi face!"

"Sigh, I went to great lengths to introduce An Xin to you, but you messed it up yourself, making me look bad to both Wei Lin and everyone else!"

"I don't care about anything else, but you need to continue apologizing to An Xin properly and make sure you get his forgiveness!"

Lin Ping's expression was particularly stern when she said these words.

"I apologized, but he wouldn't accept it!" Feng Yuzhi felt even more upset, with a sense of loss as if something precious that she had never cherished in the past had suddenly slipped through her fingers.

“You’re very smart, you must have another way. An Xin is angry these days, but he’ll probably be fine in a few days.” Lin Ping shared her experience, saying, “His brother Wei Lin is also angry with me lately. But it’s okay, we don’t need to rush, we can get along with each other slowly.”

From her words, Feng Yuzhi suddenly realized something and covered her mouth, exclaiming softly, "Sister Ping, what about Brother Wei?"

Lin Ping was quite frank, and smiled, "Wei Lin is rich, capable, handsome, and has high emotional and intellectual intelligence. I like him and want something to happen between us. Is there a problem with that?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that..."

Feng Yuzhi looked at him with sympathy and sighed softly, "Sister Ping, Brother Wei is not An Xin! It may still be a bit difficult for me to win over An Xin, but there is still hope."

"But what about Brother Wei..."

Feng Yuzhi decided to tell the truth, saying, "Sister Ping, I advise you not to get involved! It's not that you're bad, it's just that Brother Wei is too outstanding and too powerful. If you rush in, you'll only get hurt."

She knew that Wei Lin had already had several women, and each one of them was prettier and more outstanding than Lin Ping.

She felt that Lin Ping's actions of provoking Wei Lin were like a moth drawn to a flame, only to leave her battered and bruised. "I'll get hurt? Haha!"

Lin Ping was not persuaded but instead became even more determined, declaring proudly, "Just you wait and see! Wei Lin will be mine sooner or later, mine alone!"

Feng Yuzhi watched her silently, feeling that she had gone mad and would die at Wei Lin's hands sooner or later.

……

7 p.m., City Bookstore.

After eating a simple meal, Wei Lin did not meet with any women and instead sat alone reading a book.

After the seventh life advancement, the improvement in his physical functions was not very obvious, but his brain development was significantly stronger, a fact he gradually came to realize.

His energy became increasingly abundant, he hardly felt tired, and his concentration was astonishing.

No matter how much he drinks, his mind remains clear and efficient; he won't talk nonsense while drunk, and his emotions won't be affected by alcohol.

Now, he finds the obscure books in his hands easier to understand than before.

"I shouldn't be too obsessed with women; I should try my best to improve myself. I still need to continue studying and researching stocks, finance, and management."

"My advantage lies in my strong learning ability; I want to make the most of everything."

With that thought in mind, Wei Lin turned his attention back to the book.

"what!"

Mu Lanyan stepped inside and immediately spotted Wei Lin in the corner, watching him silently.

She and Wei Lin hadn't seen each other for a while.

In her mind, Wei Lin was always busy, dealing with company matters and numerous messy dinners and drinking parties.

Or perhaps, it's about exercising to strengthen your body.

She felt that someone like Wei Lin, who was extremely outgoing and had many friends, shouldn't be in a place like a city study.

"Is he planning to meet up with some woman?"

Teacher Mu always felt that Wei Lin was a womanizer, with too many women around him, which was one of the reasons why she dared not get too close to him.

Recently, her mother has returned home from the hospital and her condition has improved; she is no longer in serious danger.

Father Mu Qingshan kept mentioning Wei Lin, intentionally or unintentionally. His opinion of Wei Lin had changed drastically, and he even said he wanted to treat Wei Lin to a meal to express his gratitude.

—She stopped him, saying she had already thanked Wei Lin and there was no need to thank him again.

"Judging from my dad's tone, he seems quite satisfied with Wei Lin, but he probably doesn't know anything about Wei Lin's private life."

Mu Lanyan muttered to herself, pulled a book off the bookshelf, chose a seat far away from Wei Lin, and quietly observed him.

Before you know it, an hour has passed.

Throughout the entire process, Wei Lin did not leave his seat, nor did he glance at his phone on the table. His gaze remained fixed on the book, turning the pages of the worn-out book in his hands.

"Are you really reading a book?"

Mu Lanyan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

……

At 8:30.

Liu Yue and her colleague Kong Dong from the firm entered this 24-hour city bookstore, hoping to find some legal books to deal with a tricky case.

As soon as she entered, she habitually glanced at the readers and suddenly noticed Wei Lin.

"I actually ran into him."

Liu Yue was surprised.

"Sister Yueyue, what's wrong?"

Kong Dong asked quietly, and following her gaze, he noticed a handsome man who was engrossed in reading a book.

The man was tall with broad shoulders and wore a dark blue leather jacket. His upright posture resembled a sharp sword stuck in a seat.

Kong Dong glanced around and found that none of the men reading in the bookstore had a more outstanding appearance than this man.

"Hey, that woman is pretty. If these two could sit together, with the man being handsome and the woman being beautiful, they would be quite a good match."

Kong Dong noticed Mu Lanyan and was attracted by her beautiful face, so he couldn't help but secretly admire her.

Even without dressing up or embellishing herself, Ms. Mu's calm and composed demeanor, coupled with her exquisite face, still makes her the most beautiful woman in the bookstore.

Liu Yue is inferior to her.

"I ran into an acquaintance, so I went over to say hello."

Liu Yue explained in a low voice, hesitated for a moment, and then went straight to Wei Lin's seat.
