Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Wishing a Hundred Years of Harmonious Marriage and the Early Birth of a Precious Child

Engagement banquet day.

Liu He got up at five in the morning to put on a good performance in front of the old master.

Lin Zhiyi, concerned about her health, also got up.

It took the two of them two hours to check everything that was needed.

After ensuring there were no issues, both of them returned to the courtyard, exhausted.

To their surprise, Gong Shiyan, who had worked until midnight yesterday, was also up.

"Come on, I’ve made breakfast, come and eat."

The heirs of the Gong Family were all sent out to gain experience when they were young, and it was during those years that Gong Shiyan learned to cook.

The food wasn’t exactly a feast for the senses, but it tasted decent enough.

Gong Shiyan pulled Liu He to sit down and began to massage her shoulders.

A smile spread across Liu He’s tired face, "You got back so late last night, you didn’t need to get up early."

"These past couple of days have been tough on you two, making breakfast is nothing."

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi suddenly understood why Liu He would put up with Gong Shiyan.

She picked up her bowl, half-joking, "You two are enough, be careful or I’ll hide away to eat."

Liu He and Gong Shiyan shared a smile.

At this moment, Gong Shiyan glanced at his watch, stood up, and took the suit handed over by a servant.

"You eat first, I need to greet Old Mr. Gong with Gong Chen and the other cousins, and when the auspicious time comes, we also need to accompany Gong Chen to pick up Miss Sang for the ancestor worship."

Without his reminder, Lin Zhiyi would have forgotten that it was only after paying respect to the ancestors that one was considered to have received the Gong Family’s acknowledgment.

And in her previous life, she and Xingxing had never received the Gong Family’s acknowledgment until their death.

Ironically, Song Wanqiu could worship the ancestors with someone else’s child in tow.

Now, Gong Chen must be getting his wish.

Lin Zhiyi stirred the porridge in her bowl, eating slowly, no longer inquiring about other matters.

The sky outside was gradually brightening.

Just as Liu He was about to lie down for a rest, a servant walked in.

"Second Madam, the old master said everything needed for the ancestor worship later has to be prepared ahead of time, in case Miss Sang is not familiar with our customs here."

Liu He pressed her lips together, "Got it, I’m on it right away."

The servant glanced again at Lin Zhiyi, who was leaning on the sofa playing with her phone.

"The old master said Miss Lin has had a hard time these past few days and will join us in watching the ceremony later."

Lin Zhiyi’s finger, sliding the phone screen, paused subtly, and she nodded without a word.

"Hmm."

Once the servant left, Liu He hurriedly got up to tug at Lin Zhiyi.

"Why are you still sitting?"

"What else?" Lin Zhiyi looked up at Liu He with a bitter smile.

Now that Old Mr. Gong had made his intentions so clear, didn’t it mean he intended to shamefully kill her spirit?

It didn’t matter; she was used to it.

Liu He clicked her tongue, "You wait."

Minutes later, she came over with a box.

"Zhiyi, go change into this dress. I know the old master wants others to laugh at you, so you mustn’t do as he wishes."

Lin Zhiyi opened the box, puzzled, and was taken aback, "Mom, what’s this?"

"The Gong Family had invited a famous tailor to make clothes before, so I asked her to make a cheongsam for you as well. I was saving it for when you got engaged one day, but now... it’s up to you."

Liu He had always wanted Lin Zhiyi to marry a rich man for a carefree life.

Having been through so much, she had come to terms with it; it didn’t matter to her whether Lin Zhiyi got married or not.

While Lin Zhiyi was still hesitant, she was already being pushed into the room by Liu He to change clothes.

Dressed and with time nearly up, Liu He pulled her towards the ancestral hall.

As Lin Zhiyi stepped out of the courtyard, firecrackers started to go off outside the front gate.

Gong Chen was on his way to pick up Sang Ran.

She paused for a few seconds, raising her eyes to the vast clear sky, the morning sun fell into her glass-like pupils, but could not penetrate her heart.

Her face was left with the quiet of a deep pool.

Lin Zhiyi walked along the corridor. On the other side of a small pond and across from her on another corridor, was Gong Chen and his entourage.

Gong Chen was at the forefront.

He was still in a black suit, tall and slender, his deep and handsome features like a person who stepped out of an ink painting.

Gong Chen walked in holding Sang Ran’s hand, and everyone watching them couldn’t stop smiling. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}
