Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: The Useful Her

Gong Yan walked up to Lin Zhiyi, his face looking terrible.

He started speaking with the same tone of having endured immense humiliation.

"Zhiyi, are you also laughing at me inside? In the end, he is still one step ahead."

"Young Master, do you have some sort of persecution complex?" Lin Zhiyi coldly retorted.

"What... what did you call me?"

Gong Yan looked at Lin Zhiyi in surprise.

Lin Zhiyi repeated, "Young Master."

"Zhiyi, don’t be like this. I just was..."

"Just saw the scarf around my neck, so you wanted to use this matter to suppress your uncle, right?" Lin Zhiyi cut in. "Stop saying you like me, okay? I can’t bear it."

Having said that, she turned to leave.

Gong Yan’s eyes turned extremely sinister. He reached out and gripped her wrist tightly, preventing her from leaving.

"Zhiyi, don’t talk to me like this. You know very well how I feel about you."

Lin Zhiyi struggled a few times, but he gripped her even tighter. There were guests coming and going around them, and arguing would only draw criticism.

After all, Chen Hongwei was Gong Yan’s uncle and had personally acknowledged his despicable thoughts towards her.

Lin Zhiyi no longer struggled, just looking at Gong Yan with a sense of ridicule.

"Feelings? What feelings? Seeing how deep I’m stuck in the mire?"

"Young Master, although you were standing in the corner during the live broadcast, only half of your face showing, I still recognized you."

"You claim to care about me, but when everyone thought the woman in the room was me, you chose to watch coldly."

"When your aunt had someone push Shen Yan’s face close to the camera, you even stepped aside to give them room."

"Do you really think I don’t know what you’re thinking?"

"In the end, you think I’m someone who has been touched by another, tarnishing me as if it tarnishes him."

"You have no capability yourself, so you try to humiliate him through me! You don’t like me, you just like the useful Lin Zhiyi. But I’m not your trophy!"

After she spoke, Lin Zhiyi forcefully pulled off the scarf around her neck!

Perhaps having his true feelings exposed made him even more uncontrollably angry, even his usually well-masked expression flickered.

Fortunately, Xue Man stepped forward and reminded him,

"Young Master, there are many prominent figures around; you wouldn’t want to add more gossip for the Chen family, would you?"

Hearing this, Gong Yan ultimately cared more about his own reputation and let go of Lin Zhiyi’s hand.

Lin Zhiyi then managed to free herself.

She exited the hotel and happened to see Gong Chen’s car across the street.

He was leaning against his car, the blood-red of his fingers stark against his pristine appearance. His suit was open, one hand in his pocket, both precious and dangerous.

He exhaled a smoke ring, his figure slightly distorted in the swirling smoke.

Until Song Wanqiu, as if nothing was wrong, gracefully walked up to him.

She glanced at Lin Zhiyi out of the corner of her eye and proudly looped her arm through his. He did not resist, and they both got into the car together.

As he closed the car door, Gong Chen looked up and saw Lin Zhiyi’s bare neck, his eyes darkening, a cold glint flashing through.

But Song Wanqiu urged him, and he then drove away.

Lin Zhiyi, without turning her head, got into Xue Man’s car.

With the matter resolved, Xue Man’s suspended heart finally settled. She specially treated Lin Zhiyi to dinner and then took her back to her apartment.

Exiting the elevator.

A waft of cigarette smoke drifted over.

The corridor lights flicked on in response, but one light was broken, starkly splitting the corridor into light and darkness.
