Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Nothing Left

Moments later, outside the hospital room.

Old Mr. Gong and Gong Chen walked out together, father and son flanking each other, exuding an intimidating presence.

Old Mr. Gong, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke calmly, "Were you with Wanqiu last night?"

"Mm."

Gong Chen responded.

Old Mr. Gong nodded, "You’re not getting any younger, it’s indeed time to settle down and start a family. If Wanqiu solves the issue with the mine, don’t be too tough on the Song Family."

"Mm."

"Alright, no need to see me out, go keep Wanqiu company, and stop getting distracted."

Old Mr. Gong didn’t say much, but with these few words alone, he knew Gong Chen would understand the deeper implications.

As the elevator doors closed, Chen Jin stepped out from the adjacent door.

"Third Young Master, the butler did indeed check the surveillance footage of yesterday’s road section."

"Gong Yan."

Gong Chen stood by the window and lit a cigarette, his half-closed eyes and brows blurring in the lingering smoke at his fingertips.

He radiated a deeply dangerous and hostile aura, his dark eyes intense and simmering, causing the long-serving Chen Jin to feel a chill run down his spine.

It was as if some terrifying force was spreading around him.

Chen Jin swallowed hard, and after some thought decided to bring out the item he was hiding behind his back.

A scarf.

"Third Young Master, Miss Lin threw this to me, saying if I give her another one, just... burn it."

Gong Chen took the scarf without showing any emotion, "Let’s go."

"What about Miss Song..."

Chen Jin pointed to Song Wanqiu’s hospital room but immediately shut his mouth and pressed the elevator button upon seeing Gong Chen’s cold glare.

They went downstairs and got into the car.

Chen Jin promptly stowed the cheap scarf on the car seat away.

"Give it to me." Gong Chen took Lin Zhiyi’s scarf and handed his own expensive one to Chen Jin, "Put it away."

Chen Jin hesitated for a moment but folded the cashmere scarf neatly and placed it in the box.

Gong Chen lowered his gaze, concealing any hint of expression in his eyes.

His fingertips lightly stroked the scarf. The feel of the synthetic material was somewhat harsh, but it seemed to still carry a hint of something on it.

...

Lin Zhiyi led Liu He all the way, and Liu He cried the entire time.

In the end, Lin Zhiyi dared not walk where there were many people.

They could only stop in a small, sparsely populated garden.

"Stop crying. If someone didn’t know better, they’d think I had done something terribly wrong."

"I’m sorry, Zhiyi, I’m really so useless," Liu He choked up with self-reproach.

"It’s not your fault. In fact, you got into trouble because of me. If it weren’t for me being a burden, maybe your life in the Gong Family wouldn’t have been so difficult."

Lin Zhiyi offered Liu He a forced smile.

As soon as Liu He saw her strained smile, she embraced Lin Zhiyi and wept bitterly.

"Nonsense! You’ve never been a burden to me! Don’t think that way!"

"I know, I know."

As Lin Zhiyi heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over. Just when she was about to cry, Liu He suddenly gasped.

"Oh! I almost forgot about the important matter."

Lin Zhiyi sniffed and pulled away from Liu He, "What is it?"

Liu He took out a handkerchief to dab the corners of her eyes and calmed herself before saying, "Didn’t you ask me to keep an eye on Liu Xinna’s gatherings? I just heard that she’s going to have a party at a bar the day after tomorrow, and Song Wanqiu will definitely be there."

With that, she pulled out a card from her bag, red with black text.

Lover, next to it was a silhouette of a woman formed by lines.

Strangely familiar.

Liu He pointed at the card, "I’ve inquired about it, and this bar is owned by the man Liu Xinna is interested in."

Lin Zhiyi paused, then looking again at the silhouette of the woman on the card, it somewhat resembled Song Wanqiu.

Even in her state of undress.

It seemed to be no mistake.

Liu He asked worriedly, "Zhiyi, what are you going to do?"

Lin Zhiyi safely stored the card and spoke indifferently, "Nothing much, just want to clear up some things. Don’t worry."

Seeing that she was not willing to elaborate, Liu He could only offer a few words of advice and let it be.

After seeing Liu He off in her car, Lin Zhiyi just received a call from a local express delivery service.
