Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Why Can’t We Be Deceived Forever?

The butler looked at Old Mr. Gong with confusion.

"Haven’t we just withdrawn the people who were watching her? She didn’t use any schemes to get pregnant, nor has she been clinging to Third Young Master."

"My son Gong Chen is my flesh and blood, I understand him. He lied."

The butler immediately nodded, hesitating before adding, "Today, at the Chen Group’s celebration banquet, some news did leak out privately. Someone saw the eldest young master and Lin Zhiyi grappling with each other."

Old Mr. Gong snorted coldly, "The very first time she came to the Gong Family, I detested her from the bottom of my heart, and indeed, trouble has ensued."

Bowing, the butler spoke in a low voice, "If Lin Zhiyi..."

Old Mr. Gong narrowed his eyes and said viciously, "Do as I previously instructed."

"Yes."

...

The next day, Lin Zhiyi woke up confused.

How did she end up in bed?

Without time to think, she saw it was almost time to be late and hurriedly got out of bed to take a shower.

While bathing, the bite marks on her neck still ached slightly, and the teeth marks were very apparent.

Fortunately, it was nearly winter now, so wearing turtleneck sweaters didn’t matter.

But when she opened her wardrobe, she was stunned.

Gong Chen!

He had actually taken away all her turtleneck sweaters and scarves!

No.

Instead, he hung his own scarf in the most conspicuous place.

Lin Zhiyi gritted her teeth as she put on her clothes and again as she wrapped his scarf around her neck.

Finally, she arrived at the studio, seething with anger, and almost bumped into Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was holding a cardboard box, seemingly in the process of handling her resignation.

She had a bandage around her forehead and several new purple bruises on her cheeks, likely from being beaten by her parents.

Her parents only allowed her to attend such an expensive university because she lied to them about the school having many wealthy people.

Even if she married someone at random, it would help her brother’s housing and car business in the future.

This was probably the only truth Shen Yan ever told Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi had no intention of entangling with her and stepped aside.

But then she heard the sound of something hitting the ground behind her, and Shen Yan turned around and called out to her.

"Lin Zhiyi, you must be really happy, right? My parents caught me, and you have ruined me!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi stopped in her tracks.

She turned to look at Shen Yan, "I’ve indeed thought of many ways to deal with you, but I never thought of using your parents against you, because that’s the one thing you’re not at fault for."

Preferring sons to daughters was not Shen Yan’s fault.

Shen Yan’s shoulders trembled slightly as she said resentfully, "So you knew all along, you’ve been deceiving me! You’ve made me so miserable."

Lin Zhiyi felt indifferent, only harboring a doubt in her heart that had troubled her across two lifetimes.

When they first met, they sympathized with each other, both striving for a better future for themselves.

She didn’t know why things had turned out this way.

She said with a bitter smile, "Shen Yan, in terms of deception, I’m no match for you. I was grateful for your help, and I was almost entirely compliant with you, but how did you treat me?"

"Don’t give me that!" Shen Yan said through clenched teeth, "You just used me as a prop to highlight yourself!"
