Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Unrelated to Me

Lin Zhiyi felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest.

By the time she noticed Gong Yan’s strange gaze, it was too late.

Gong Yan exchanged a look with Chen Sulan.

As Lin Zhiyi withdrew her scarf, Chen Sulan yanked it hard, making Lin Zhiyi stagger and almost fall.

Although she managed to steady herself, the bite marks on her neck were exposed in front of Old Mr. Gong.

Chen Sulan grabbed her hand and pointed to the marks, "Dad, look! I didn’t lie to you! This is evidence of her messing around with Lao San! These are clearly a man’s bite marks!"

Lin Zhiyi quickly covered her neck and retorted, "No! It’s unrelated to Uncle!"

"You keep saying it’s unrelated, but why did you go to Lao San’s bed in the first place? Don’t tell me it was an accident, we all know the dirty secrets of your heart! You and your mother are the same! Eyeing anyone with money thinking of climbing up the ladder with your body!"

Chen Sulan grew more and more agitated, dragging Liu He into it as well.

Lin Zhiyi saw Gong Shiyan about to step forward and quickly blocked him.

She didn’t want to drag Gong Shiyan and Liu He down with her as they already had a hard time with the Gong Family.

"Madam, what good does it do you if Uncle and I have an issue? Why must you incessantly hound us?"

"And, is Uncle’s name inscribed on these bite marks? I’m an adult, can’t I have my own private life? Don’t forget, I’m not a Gong! You have no control over me!"

Her anger was stoked and she could no longer observe the niceties.

"Lin Zhiyi, watch your conduct!" Old Mr. Gong reprimanded disapprovingly.

Conduct?

She had followed his will to completely leave the Gong Family and even as a guest, she maintained proper manners according to his orders.

Her visit was nothing more than another condescending warning.

Was it amusing?

She gave a bitter smile, "Old Mr. Gong, did I speak wrongly? My surname is Lin, have you forgotten?"

With a slap, Old Mr. Gong stood up, banging the table.

The sound echoed in the dining room, making everyone’s hearts thump in response.

"The ingrate white wolf beyond taming! But don’t forget, you and your mother have been living off the Gong Family for years!"

"Today, if you don’t clarify the marks on your neck, don’t even think about stepping out!"

"If you want to leave, you and your mother can get out together!"

Old Mr. Gong said and pointed at the pale-faced Liu He.

"Dad! I disagree!" Gong Shiyan said, embracing Liu He and speaking hesitantly.

Old Mr. Gong didn’t even glance at him, just snorted coldly, his mind made up.

Lin Zhiyi bit her lip, trying to swallow the lump of humiliation in her throat.

During the pause, her gaze inevitably swept towards Gong Chen.

He showed no reaction, not even glancing at her, just fiddling with his ring, calm and composed.

As if everything happening had nothing to do with him.

She had always known he was a heartless man!

Lin Zhiyi closed her eyes, feeling numb in her limbs, as if floating in the sea, left only with powerlessness and helplessness.

She spoke in a dry voice, "It’s..."

"It was me."

Gong Yan stood up and walked over to Lin Zhiyi, smiling gently at her.

So warm, so tender.

But upon closer inspection, one would see his smile was superficial, always the same temperature and curve.

What he offered was not a life-saving straw, but a poisoned arrow.

An arrow that pierced Lin Zhiyi’s body, leaving her unable to struggle.

Ignoring Lin Zhiyi’s stunned state, Gong Yan pulled her hand firmly, standing in front of Old Mr. Gong and Gong Chen, deeply emotional and serious.

"It’s me who has been with Zhiyi. Grandfather... Uncle."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi’s expression turned blank, sudden panic making her feel disoriented.

Yet Gong Yan gripped her hand tightly, not giving her a chance to resist.

On the surface, he continued earnestly, "Uncle, Grandfather, I was too embarrassed to admit it just now, so if you think this is improper, I am willing to kneel again. But it doesn’t change my feelings for Zhiyi. I hope Uncle and Grandfather can bless us."

Old Mr. Gong wore a grim face, not speaking, but staring straight at Gong Chen, waiting for his stance.

Lin Zhiyi looked down at her bloody palm, yet felt no pain. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
