Chapter 114 -114 Shameless

The rain pattered down relentlessly.

Gong Shiyan briskly entered the house, just as he encountered Lin Zhiyi.

“Uncle.”

“You’re here, why are you standing at the door? Come in and have a seat.”

“Uncle, just now, Mom and I saw you going to the ancestral hall. Was there something going on?” Lin Zhiyi asked cautiously.

Gong Shiyan looked at her and sighed softly, “Zhiyi, if you want to know, make a trip to Lao San. You’ll get your answers there.”

His gaze hinted at something.

Lin Zhiyi’s heartbeat quickened, her body slightly unstable, she reached out to grip the door frame, her fingertips almost embedding into the solid wood, yet she felt no pain.

After pondering for a few seconds, she shook her head.

“Never mind, it’s not necessary.”

No matter what happened in the ancestral hall or how convoluted the process was, at least her objective had been achieved.

This would cost Gong Chen quite a bit.

Gong Shiyan also noticed the recent changes in Lin Zhiyi, puzzled, he said, “Zhiyi, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so averse to Lao San? He’s really not as scary as you think.”

“Uncle, stop talking.”

Lin Zhiyi avoided his gaze and turned her body to the side.

Gong Shiyan, with a reluctant tone, said, “Lao San is no fool. Do you think he really doesn’t know why you suddenly appeared in the Gong Group?”

At this, Lin Zhiyi paused, her fingers turning white from the strain.

She admitted that everything went too smoothly yesterday, even Gong Chen’s attitude towards her was somewhat different.

Gong Chen asked her a lot of strange questions.

Such as whether she had come specifically to see him. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Thinking this, Lin Zhiyi silently lowered her eyes, somewhat at a loss.

At that moment, Liu He, carrying tea, gestured towards the umbrella stand by the door.

“The umbrella is there, don’t get caught in the rain again.”

“I didn’t say I was going,” Lin Zhiyi replied.

Liu He ignored her, handed the tea to Gong Shiyan, and pulled him inside.

“My daughter, I understand her, sorry.”

Gong Shiyan nodded, and stealthily glanced back, but Lin Zhiyi’s figure was no longer by the door.

…

Moments later, Lin Zhiyi, clutching the handle of an umbrella, stood outside Gong Chen’s courtyard.

She listened to the raindrops hitting the umbrella, the usually tranquil lake of her heart now rippled by the rain.

Her knuckles turned pale as she clenched and unclenched her hand, she lowered her gaze, then turned to leave.

She still didn’t know how to face Gong Chen.

“Miss Lin.” Chen Jin, holding a bag stained with bloodied gauze, emerged, presenting a shocking sight.

Lin Zhiyi stared at the bag, her breath catching.

Following her gaze to the bloody gauze at the mouth of the bag, Chen Jin asked indignantly, “Is this what Miss Lin wanted?”

Lin Zhiyi’s lips were tightly sealed, unsure of what to say.

Chen Jin, as Gong Chen’s assistant, knew very well what to say and what not to.

Yet this time, he couldn’t contain his emotions and quickly blocked Lin Zhiyi’s path.

“Third Young Master has been helping you secretly so much, why would you betray him?”

“Help me? Help Song Wanqiu deal with me? Forcing me to compromise to his fiancée time after time! What did I do wrong? Or am I just a necessary step in their love?” Lin Zhiyi retorted.

“It’s because…”

“Chen Jin.” A cold voice came from the second floor.

Lin Zhiyi shifted her umbrella, looking up as rain slipped into her eyes, instantly blurring the figure of the man by the upstairs window.

He stood shirtless, his perfect physique drained of color, his arms slightly spread on the windowsill, the light from his cigarette flickering.

Although high above, he seemed as though he might vanish the next second.
