Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Everyone Is Pressuring Her

Lin Zhiyi didn’t know how long she had stood there until Liu He’s call came in.

"Mom."

"Zhiyi, why did Old Mr. Gong ask me to take you to the hospital? What happened?" Liu He’s voice was full of worry.

Lin Zhiyi looked up at the pale ceiling, fully aware of Old Mr. Gong’s intentions.

She said somewhat helplessly, "Mom, it’s nothing, just wait for me at the hospital."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiyi saw Xue Man approaching.

"What are you all doing? Why aren’t you going to the meeting?"

Worried about causing trouble, everyone entered the conference room. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Lin Zhiyi walked up to Xue Man and apologized, "I’m sorry, President Xue, I would like to ask for some time off."

"Go ahead, deal with your matters first," Xue Man said, not blaming her. She glanced at her neck, took off her own scarf, and handed it to her, "Cover it up."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked down and realized that the scarf had been torn off by Song Wanqiu long ago, leaving behind ambiguous kiss marks after the bite marks had faded.

No wonder her colleagues looked at her so strangely.

But was this her fault?

Lin Zhiyi touched her neck, then the detestable scarf.

Finally, she directly tore off the scarf, and in front of Xue Man, gathered her disheveled hair into a high tie, completely exposing the marks on her neck.

"President Xue, no need, we’re all adults, no need for such alarm," she said defiantly.

Xue Man was slightly stunned but showed a hint of admiration in her eyes.

She did not take back her scarf but tied it to Lin Zhiyi’s hair tie instead.

"It looks better this way."

"Um, I’ll be going now."

Having said that, Lin Zhiyi turned and left.

Xue Man watched her leave and took out her phone to reply to a message.

...

At the hospital.

Lin Zhiyi arrived outside the room number Liu He had sent and was about to knock when she heard Song Wanqiu’s sobbing voice.

"Old Mr. Gong, please don’t be angry, it’s all my fault for getting injured at such a crucial time."

What critical time?

It must be referring to the good rumors spreading online.

Indeed, an injury would be unlucky at such a time.

Song Wanqiu sniffled a bit more before continuing, "It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have been so talkative and upset Zhiyi, but I didn’t expect her to be so bold in private. I’ve never seen anything like it, so I felt compelled to remind her."

Old Mr. Gong’s angry and commanding voice immediately followed from within the room.

"She’s been unruly at the core, and now she’s audacious enough to harm others! Saying it out loud, people would think the Gong Family taught her to be like this."

Implying that Liu He was a poor example to her daughter.

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t stand to listen any longer and pushed the door open.

The loud noise startled everyone inside, even causing Song Wanqiu to gasp and forget cry.

Seeing how Lin Zhiyi was dressed, the people inside were somewhat taken aback.

During her way here, many people had looked at Lin Zhiyi this way, but now she felt indifferent about it.

She walked to Liu He’s side, and said in a cold voice, "Old Mr. Gong, in a fair tribunal, both sides must be heard. Since when can guilt be assigned based on one-sided statements?"

"You..." Old Mr. Gong clearly didn’t expect Lin Zhiyi to openly retort.

Lin Zhiyi, raising her neck and purposely revealing the marks, scoffed, "Miss Song is so interested in the marks on my neck, then I’ll let you have a good look. When did minding others’ business become so honorable?"

Song Wanqiu choked, too angry to speak for a while.
