Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Who is that man?

Just as Li Huan had said, how could Wen Qing, a woman capable of standing out among men, not have any real skills?

Thus, when Lin Zhiyi took the so-called evidence to seek Wen Qing’s help, it amounted to walking straight into a trap.

In fact, she was there to release mercury.

Only when she appeared the most miserable would Wen Qing believe that she had exhausted all her options.

From the way Wen Qing spoke to Gong Shiyan, Lin Zhiyi knew that she was inherently prideful.

She disdained competing with Liu He, and even less did she debase herself to plead with Gong Shiyan.

What she wanted was for others to plead with her,

especially enjoying the feeling of toying with others’ lives while perched on a high seat.

However, Liu He was after all the Second Madam of the Gong Family.

No matter how capable Wen Qing was, using such means to provoke Liu He was tantamount to challenging the Gong Family.

Wen Qing wouldn’t dare,

unless someone supported her.

As expected, one attempt made it clear.

Unexpectedly, the ones supporting Wen Qing from behind turned out to be Old Mr. Gong and Gong Chen.

They really went to great lengths to force her into submission.

Since that was the case, then let things escalate.

After all, she, being barefoot, wasn’t afraid of those wearing shoes.

Moreover, she always had a nagging doubt.

In her past life, was the car accident involving Liu He and Gong Shiyan really just as Gong Chen had claimed?

Mentioning the cause of the accident pained Lin Zhiyi like a stab with a needle.

As she pondered, Lin Zhiyi slightly raised her eyes and noticed that Li Huan was watching her.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I can’t remember," Lin Zhiyi feigned calmness and tugged at her clothes.

Li Huan, seeing through her but not pointing it out, changed the subject, "Your mom’s matter is being handled, but it will take another two or three days to complete. I’ve arranged for her to stay at a private hospital owned by my friend, where no one will know. But President Wen won’t let this go, right?"

"Of course not, since they haven’t achieved their aim yet."

Lin Zhiyi’s gaze remained steady, her slender figure almost blending into the pale background behind her,

as if she could vanish at any moment.

"They? You don’t think Wen Qing’s actions involve Third Young Master, do you? He definitely didn’t intend to strike you."

Li Huan caught the emphasis in Lin Zhiyi’s words, firmly taking Gong Chen’s side.

"Doctor Li, Wen Qing framed me in Yi Garden," Lin Zhiyi said with sarcasm.

Yi Garden was Gong Chen’s territory; Wen Qing daring to frame her there meant it was his instigation!

"He... he must have had his reasons," Li Huan hurriedly explained.

Lin Zhiyi turned to lie down, speaking indifferently, "It doesn’t matter anymore."

"Lin Zhiyi..."

Li Huan was about to defend Gong Chen when his phone vibrated.

He looked at the message, his pupils dilated, and without a word, he rushed out anxiously.

In a short while, Gong Shiyan came in with a medical report.

"Zhiyi, feeling better?"

"Yes, it doesn’t hurt as much."

To prevent Gong Shiyan from worrying, Lin Zhiyi sat up straight.

Gong Shiyan supported her anxiously, "Be careful. By the way, have you heard from your mom? I haven’t been able to contact her all day."

Lin Zhiyi swallowed and feigned surprise, "My mom didn’t tell you? She felt that I’ve been having too much bad luck recently, so she went up the mountain to burn incense for me; maybe it’s because of poor signal there. I’ll ask her to send you a message once I hear from her."

"That so? You gave me a scare, you know how bad your mom’s sense of direction is; she could get lost just stepping out the door."

Mentioning Liu He, Gong Shiyan’s smile was genuine and filled with happiness, subconsciously touching the crescent-shaped scar on the back of his hand.

It was a scar from years ago when he climbed a mountain to save Liu He after she got lost and fell halfway up.

Lin Zhiyi had not been sleeping well ever since the car accident, and now Liu He had an incident. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
