Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Are You My Little Aunt?

"She did all this for the Chen Family," she admitted that her success in framing me and my uncle meant that the Gong Family would belong to the Chen Family. All she cared about was the Chen Family."

As soon as the words were spoken, whispers spread around the room.

"I had no idea that Lao San and Lin Zhiyi’s issue was orchestrated by her."

"That makes sense, she was the one who prepared the crab feast, and tampering was easy for her, but nobody suspected it."

"Do they really think the Chen Family is still the same as it was twenty or so years ago?"

The crowd’s words completely shattered Chen Sulan’s psychological defenses.

Her frail body was like a kite with its string cut, fluttering and crashing to the ground.

She weakly clenched her fists, "Is it wrong to do something for my own family? Didn’t Old Mr. Gong choose our union for my family’s capabilities? As my family began to decline, he didn’t lift a finger to help. Instead, he picked faults with me, it was all his fault!"

Chen Sulan glared venomously at Old Mr. Gong sitting at the head of the table.

"Shut up! Why should I help you? Your brother never had what it takes to be successful. Whoever helps him suffers."

"Suffer?" Chen Sulan tasted bile in her throat, bitter laughter escaped her lips, "Hahaha, everyone is just a pawn for profit."

Old Mr. Gong looked disapprovingly at the butler who, with a wave of his hand, ordered, "Take her away, don’t let her spout nonsense here."

The butler nodded, and the servants helped Chen Sulan out.

Gong Yan sat in the corner, his whole being enveloped in chaos.

Old Mr. Gong glanced at him with a hint of disdain.

He picked up the newly served tea by the servant, lifted the lid slightly, and declared solemnly, "Chen Sulan has been ill for a long time, clearly she is spouting madness."

"Yes," everyone understood and responded quietly.

Hearing the satisfactory responses, Old Mr. Gong’s expression softened, but his gaze towards the mother and daughter was filled with an oppressive chill.

"Eldest, now that you are back, handle the outsiders appropriately, give them some money to dismiss them. Accepting the girl back is futile, don’t bring just anyone home. Just declare Chen Sulan’s illness and send her abroad, our family’s reputation must be maintained."

Gong Shize scoffed, "Who said I’m returning? I now go by Gong Yuan, the farther away from here, the better. If it hadn’t been for Shi Yan telling me about Lao San and Gong Yan’s problem, I would never have come here in my lifetime."

"Are you mad?" Old Mr. Gong said angrily.

"Yes! I’ve long been fed up with this family’s unscrupulous glory! And you, a hypocrite!" He pointed at his mother’s tablet on the shelf, eyes bloodshot, "What right do you have to place her here?"

Following Gong Shize’s pointed finger, Lin Zhiyi saw the memorial tablet of Gong Chen’s mother for the first time.

This was the first time she directly heard someone mention this woman.

She subconsciously looked at Gong Chen.

Gong Chen, staring at the tablet, sat silently, his clenched hand resting on the armrest, his fingernails reddening.

Old Mr. Gong stood as if to intervene, but Gong Shize was beyond caring.

"Why don’t you elders say something? Because it’s shameful, isn’t it!"

He questioned each elder sitting by his sides, their faces grew uglier as their beards were already white.

Gong Shize then confronted Gong Yan, "Do you think just because you are healthy, you can inherit the Gong Family? No, neither I, nor you, nor the second brother have the right!"

Gong Yan’s grey eyes lifted slightly in confusion.

Gong Shize continued coldly, "It’s because the only legitimate child in this family is Lao San! I, the second, we were born of this man’s mistresses! We never had the right to inherit!"

"It was he, using my mother’s difficulty in conceiving, who brought us back and forced her to acknowledge us as the eldest and second sons!"

"Why did she, a woman in her middle age, risk her life to have a child? Because she couldn’t swallow this humiliation."

"She was such a gentle woman, but because she had difficulty conceiving, everyone advised her to endure it for the sake of dignity."

Gong Shize turned back, glaring angrily at Old Mr. Gong.

"You should be grateful, the only thing our mother didn’t teach us was hatred! I willingly became your puppet, just so Lao San could grow up properly."

"I obeyed you, entered into marriages to maintain the family’s honor. But the day my mother died, you were still fooling around with a secretary young enough to be your daughter. From that day, the second and I decided to give everything back to Lao San."

His voice resonated throughout the ancestral hall, and even the courtyard echoed his anger.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

The people around also fell into darkness.

Lin Zhiyi then understood, this was not a secret at all, it was just for the so-called family honor that no one could speak of.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Gong Chen.

Hearing this, Gong Chen looked up at the little girl and stared at her for a long time. _{freёwebnovel.com}
