After Rebirth, I Grounded the Scumbag and Bitch

Laxatives. I was on the rooftop, just about to jump... oh no, I was pushed.
In my previous life, I was nothing but a pure victim, driven to death by a love-struck brain.
How should I put it? The experience was like closing my eyes and then opening them again. Just yesterday, I was waiting outside the ICU to meet the Grim Reaper, and today, I was sitting in my own living room sipping coffee. Across from me were the very couple who had provided me with a free bungee jumping experience (one-way ticket) — my fiancé Gu Chen and my best friend, Bai Weiwei, who was closer than a sister.
I remembered when I was in free fall, Bai Weiwei was tearfully snuggled in Gu Chen's arms, wiping her tears. "Brother Chen, I was so careless. With such a big burden at Lin, it’ll be hard on you from now on..."
Gu Chen gently patted her back, his voice filled with a tenderness I had never heard before. "Don't cry, everything will be fine with me around."
Tsk, if I weren’t busy chatting with Newton right now, I would have applauded the two of them; they could have easily won an Oscar for that performance.
Now… looking at Gu Chen’s handsome face as he earnestly pushed a document toward me, he said, "Yao Yao, your father just passed away. You’re just a girl; you can’t handle this alone. Transfer the shares to me; I’ll take good care of Lin for you."
I glanced down at the document — the Equity Transfer Agreement. Then I looked back up at his eyes, which couldn’t hide their greed and impatience.
Bai Weiwei timely approached with a bowl of bird's nest soup, her eyes red and her voice choked with emotion. "Yao Yao Jie, you should listen to Brother Chen. He’s just worried you’ll be too tired… We all care about you."
Oh boy, here comes the classic PUA + White Lotus combo again.
Fine then, I've received the second round gift package from heaven.
The debts from my past life will be repaid double in this one.
Chapter One: Starting with a Bang — I'm not following this script anymore.
The coffee was still steaming as Gu Chen and Bai Weiwei's eager gazes shone on my face like searchlights.
I picked up my coffee cup and gently blew on it before leisurely asking, "My father's seventh day has not yet passed; is it appropriate to discuss shares now?"
As soon as those words left my mouth, both of their expressions clearly froze for a moment.
Gu Chen frowned slightly but quickly returned to his affectionate facade. "Yao Yao, I know you're upset, but this is for the company. Just think about it; so many eyes are on Lin. What if..."
"What if you take advantage of the situation?" I set down my cup and interrupted him before he could finish.
Bai Weiwei immediately chimed in with a teary voice. "Yao Yao Jie! How can you think that about Brother Chen? He’s lost so much weight because of you and Lin!"
As she spoke, she reached out to grab my arm in an attempt to create some sisterly bond.
I shot her a cold glance and picked up that annoying Equity Transfer Agreement from the table, applying pressure with my fingers.
"Riiip—"
The agreement was torn in half right down the middle.
I held the torn pieces of paper in my hands and walked up to them, under the dazed gazes of Gu Chen and Bai Weiwei.
"Lin Yao! Are you out of your mind?!" Gu Chen finally lost his composure, jumping to his feet and pointing at me, his face contorted with anger.
"I'm not crazy," I replied, shoving the ripped agreement back into Gu Chen's arms. "The ones who are crazy are those who think they can take over what belongs to the Lin family."
I gave him a once-over and then glanced at Bai Weiwei, who looked as frightened as a quail beside him.
"Thinking you can take the Lin's shares? Dream on."
With that, I brushed past them and headed straight upstairs, casually instructing the servant nearby, "Mother Zhang, please see them out."
