Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Find Her a Husband’s Family to Discipline Her

Sang Ran heard Wen Qing’s words, and tea spilled onto the table.

She hurriedly pulled out a tissue and bent over to wipe the table.

Wen Qing noticed her reaction and raised her voice unconsciously a few notches, "He has never touched you!"

"Auntie! This is our private matter! Can you please stop asking?"

Sang Ran was flustered, and in her haste, she smeared the water everywhere on the table, some of it accidentally spilling onto her legs.

The water stain ran down along her skirt, starting from her knees, she felt nothing.

She looked at her prosthetic limb, her hand pausing in mid-wipe, her complexion growing worse.

Gong Chen had never touched her.

If he despised her for being disabled and didn’t touch her, she would have accepted that.

But Gong Chen was good to her. Sometimes when her prosthetic limb was uncomfortable, he would kneel down and readjust it for her.

His eyes never held a trace of disgust.

Nor did they hold... desire.

Wen Qing watched Sang Ran daydreaming and wiped the water off the table for her, then refilled her cup of tea and placed it in her hands.

Then, with meaning, she said, "Xiao Ran, your mother entrusted you to me. How could I possibly not care?"

"Every man has desires. It’s impossible for the Third Young Master to be without them at his age!"

Sang Ran snapped back to reality, staring at Wen Qing with suspicion.

"Auntie, what are you trying to say?"

Wen Qing clicked her tongue, frowning and said, "You silly girl, always thinking of others, not knowing what sordid things they do behind your back."

Sang Ran’s expression faltered slightly, "Others? Who?"

Wen Qing raised an eyebrow disdainfully, slowly enunciating a name.

"Lin Zhiyi."

"Even before Song Wanqiu’s time, she made the trending searches for a fling with the Third Young Master. It was only suppressed later. Now, the incident about her being kept as a mistress has been exposed again. As the saying goes, ’a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow’, she’s a habitual offender."

"To have a car accident right in front of the house during the New Year, doesn’t she know that you and the Third Young Master are about to get married? Who knows if she did it on purpose to draw attention?"

Wen Qing rambled on, and Sang Ran listened with furrowed brows, finally standing up swiftly.

She argued with righteous indignation, "Auntie, the Second Young Master said it was a car problem. How could Zhiyi possibly predict that?"

"And about the rumour of a fling you mentioned, that was already clarified."

"Auntie, don’t you always say that women always face injustice in society? Then why, whenever such gossip arises, do you start by criticizing the woman? Sex isn’t something a woman can accomplish alone."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qing was taken aback, stood up with displeasure, and stared at Sang Ran.

"Am I not doing this for you? You came here to get married, not to be a widow! What’s wrong with being cautious? Lin Zhiyi and the Gong Family have no blood ties, she and the Third Young Master..."

"Auntie, please stop," Sang Ran interrupted, her lips pressed tightly, her expression clearly distressed.

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop," Wen Qing walked over to her, took her hand, "Xiao Ran, your auntie just wants you to be happy."

"Mhm."

"You look tired, so I’ll come to see you another day."

Sang Ran nodded absentmindedly, unable to suppress the words Wen Qing had said.

Wen Qing glanced lightly over her face, her lips curving slightly, then turned and left.

After everyone was gone, Sang Ran sat in a daze for a long time.

...

As Wen Qing was preparing to leave, she coincidentally ran into Old Mr. Gong and they chatted for a bit.

The old gentleman looked her over and praised, "President Wen hasn’t changed much over the years, yet her abilities are even more formidable than men’s."

"Hardly. My minor skills don’t come close to a fraction of what Old Mr. Gong accomplished in his prime," Wen Qing responded with respectful flattery.

Old Mr. Gong laughed, then got back to the point, "It’s a pity that your marriage was delayed."
