Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Force Her to Make Peace

Chapter 14 -14 Force Her to Make Peace

The police were very efficient. As soon as Lin Zhiyi agreed to the settlement, they brought the settlement document over.

One of them was the female officer who had taken Lin Zhiyi’s statement.

With good intentions, she reminded, “Are you sure you’ve thought this through?”

Holding the pen, Lin Zhiyi’s hand trembled slightly as she said with a bitter smile, “I’ve thought it through. Let it be.”

Who made her just an ant in other people’s hands now?

Without giving herself a chance to regret, Lin Zhiyi quickly signed her name.

The female officer sighed and left with the settlement document.

Then, Liu He entered the ward with a food container.

Their eyes met, and Liu He’s eyes turned red with guilt.

“Zhiyi…”

“I know everything. Is uncle okay?” Lin Zhiyi asked.

Wiping away her tears and pouring the porridge, Liu He sighed, “He’s alright, got a scolding. You know how the old man is. It’s all Zhao Cheng’s fault—scum! He looks decent, but he turns out to be such a person.”

Lin Zhiyi, feeling exhausted, said, “Mom, I don’t want to get married.”

Liu He dared not bring up the topic again, casually saying, “I know, I know. Anyway, now the public opinion has shifted to Song Wanqiu; it doesn’t involve us. If you don’t want to marry, then don’t. I was just worried the family might think you’re pining for someone you shouldn’t.”

With that, she placed the bowl of clear porridge into Lin Zhiyi’s hands.

Lin Zhiyi had no appetite and pondered over Liu He’s words.

“Mom, what’s happened with public opinion?”

“At last, there are some sensible people online who say Song Wanqiu wanted to force a marriage, so she caused such a big stir. Now, everyone’s scolding her for being shameless. Being with Lao San made so many people jealous, now that she’s caught, why wouldn’t they take the chance to attack her? I always said she had an air about her.”

Liu He tsk-tsked with disapproval.

However, Lin Zhiyi felt something was amiss and quickly asked for her phone to check the news online.

Sure enough, many netizens were commenting that Song Wanqiu had no decorum, eager to marry…

The public opinion had changed overnight.

Liu He took her phone away and urged, “Eat something quickly. Why bother with her?”

Lin Zhiyi frowned and said, “My little uncle loves Song Wanqiu so much; how can I not care?”

“What do you mean by that?” Liu He asked suspiciously.

“Mom, don’t you often have meals with your former colleagues? Help me ask around about Song Wanqiu privately.”

Liu He had the chance to know Gong Shiyan, largely because Liu He was once an attendant at a luxury shop.

These people, seemingly insignificant, had access to the homes of the wealthy and celebrities and were particularly savvy about high society gossip and celebrity affairs.

Liu He nodded, “Okay.”

As she replied, the nurse came in with an IV drip.

“Second Madam, Miss Lin.”

“Mhm,” Liu He nodded.

While the nurse was hooking up the IV for Lin Zhiyi, she joked, “One of my colleagues just saw Third Young Master in the parking lot.”

Liu He couldn’t help but interject, “Lao San hasn’t left yet?”

The nurse adjusted the IV drip speed, laughing, “Third Young Master and Miss Song were wrapped up in love, looking like a perfect match.”

Liu He glanced at Lin Zhiyi and replied somewhat unnaturally.

Lin Zhiyi ate her porridge with her head down, showing little emotion.

Once the IV was done, Lin Zhiyi decided to return to school, as she hadn’t yet finished her work for the competition.

Liu He couldn’t persuade her otherwise and had no choice but to send her back to school.

“Call me if anything happens.”

“I will.”

Lin Zhiyi closed the car door and walked toward the university. She’d only taken a few steps when the sound of a car horn came from behind her.

She turned around and saw Gong Chen’s car.

She didn’t want to deal with it, but Chen Jin, as if anticipating her reaction, was already waiting at the university entrance.

Seeing through her defiance, he still advised, “Miss Lin, you know what Third Young Master’s temper is like.” _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Lin Zhiyi scoffed in self-mockery, pushed his hand away, and started walking.

Chen Jin hesitated to speak.

But a figure was quicker than him, grabbing Lin Zhiyi’s wrist in one swift move.

The familiar presence made Lin Zhiyi’s body uncontrollably shudder.

Other than fear, there was hatred.

She turned around to face Gong Chen’s displeased dark eyes.
