Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Proactively Handing Over the Room Card

Chen Group, celebration banquet.

Under secure escort, Lin Zhiyi carried a safe and followed Xue Man into Chen Hongwei’s resting room.

Apart from Lin Zhiyi, the accompanying personnel included Bella and Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was recommended by Bella, and without much thought, Lin Zhiyi knew this was Song Wanqiu’s intention.

They all wanted to put her in a dire situation today.

But this suited her just fine.

If Shen Yan didn’t show up, the play wouldn’t go on.

As soon as Lin Zhiyi entered, she was met with Chen Hongwei’s naked, threatening gaze.

He lit a cigar, laughed, and said, "President Xue, quite punctual. I thought you didn’t want to come."

Xue Man, wearing a black backless evening gown with a superior and efficient aura, replied without faltering, "Mr. Chen is one of our biggest clients, how could I dare to neglect you?"

After speaking, she glanced at Lin Zhiyi and said with commanding presence, "Why haven’t you gone yet? Do I need to prompt you for such a trivial matter?"

Lin Zhiyi’s face turned pale as if marching to her doom, she walked up to Chen Hongwei.

"Mr. Chen, this is the jewelry you ordered, please take a look."

After unlocking the safe, Chen Hongwei took out the jewelry box and opened it.

The brooch was the same as before, but the sapphire that had been in the fish’s head was now an ordinary sapphire instead of a Kashmir Sapphire.

Just as Chen Hongwei was about to burst into rage, he noticed a room card stuck on the inside of the box lid.

He immediately understood that Lin Zhiyi had compromised.

"Hahaha," Chen Hongwei laughed heartily, put on the brooch on his chest, and said, "Not bad at all, I like those who recognize the way things are, and I really like this brooch."

Xue Man gave a slight nod: "Thank you, Mr. Chen. We won’t disturb you further and will take our leave."

Chen Hongwei waved his hand: "Go ahead, I’ll see you later at the banquet."

His words were directed at Xue Man, but his eyes were almost glued to Lin Zhiyi.

After leaving the resting room, Lin Zhiyi was somewhat distracted.

She caught up with Xue Man and pleaded, "President Xue, I’m feeling a bit unwell, I’d like to get some air in the hall before heading to the banquet."

Xue Man’s face stiffened with displeasure: "Lin Zhiyi, it’s too late to escape now."

Lin Zhiyi bit her lip and nodded.

As she turned around, Shen Yan took her arm.

"Zhiyi, I’ll accompany you."

Accompany?

Lin Zhiyi knew Shen Yan was afraid she would run off.

The two made their way to the lounge area of the hall and ordered two glasses of juice from a server.
