Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Were You Kicked Out?

Chen Jin’s voice had just fallen when Gong Chen walked out of the door.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Li Huan laughed, "Were you kicked out?"

Gong Chen furrowed his brows, "She’s going to sleep."

Li Huan stifled a laugh, who would believe such a clumsy excuse?

Gong Chen glanced at him, "Watch her, don’t let her cause trouble."

Hearing this, Li Huan knew that Gong Chen must have known most of the story by now.

But he definitely didn’t know about Liu He.

Li Huan hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "What if someone else causes trouble?"

Gong Chen’s gaze suddenly turned ice-cold, "The Gong Group and Wen Group are about to collaborate, there must be no mistakes."

"..."

Li Huan was stunned, no longer speaking, just nodding his head.

Sometimes he admired Gong Chen’s calm, and sometimes he lamented Gong Chen’s indifference.

Perhaps Lin Zhiyi was right.

Gong Chen was destined to be a sovereign reigning over all, where love was but an ornament, trivial and dispensable.

In that moment, Li Huan even felt relieved that Lin Zhiyi had extricated herself early on.

Thus, he kept secret the favor he had done for Lin Zhiyi.

...

The next day.

While Lin Zhiyi was sleeping, a phone call from Liu He came.

"Zhiyi, I’ve already checked in with your uncle as you asked, telling him I’m staying at the temple on the mountain and it’ll take two more days before I return. But... that man is still harassing me, incessantly sending me those pictures demanding money, I’m really going insane."

Liu He’s voice trembled, obviously having not slept much that night.

"Mom, don’t pay attention to him, remember, it’s not your fault. Leave the rest to me."

Lin Zhiyi had experienced all this in her past life; she knew well the tremendous pressure on one’s mind.

She also knew that Liu He wouldn’t be able to understand any grand reasoning right now.

What Liu He needed most was someone to rely on.

"Zhiyi, would your uncle... look down on me?" Liu He sobbed.

Lin Zhiyi wanted to say no, but the images from her previous life of Wen Qing marrying Gong Shiyan flashed through her mind.

Truth and fiction, her mind was already in chaos.

Now, all she had to do was to ensure Liu He lived on, calm and composed.

"Mom, not everything is set in stone yet, can you trust me?"

"Okay. Zhiyi, be careful."

Liu He’s emotions gradually stabilized.

After hanging up, Lin Zhiyi hadn’t even put down her phone when someone became impatient.

"Lin Zhiyi, what do you think about my proposal from yesterday? My patience is limited."

It was Wen Qing.

She was finally getting impatient.

Lin Zhiyi had to find out the cause of Liu He and Gong Shiyan’s deaths in her previous life.

She lowered her head and quickly replied to the message.

"Stop harassing my mom, I agree."

"You sure know how to adapt to the times, I’ll send you the address in two days."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi put down her phone, looking at the half-eaten bowl of fermented rice dumplings on the table.

Gong Chen, you said you wouldn’t be biased.

...

Two days later.

Lin Zhiyi received the address sent by Wen Qing.

It was a newly opened upscale restaurant, the text message specifically reminded her to dress nicely.

Because today, Wen Qing had arranged a blind date for her.

Lin Zhiyi arrived at the restaurant as agreed.
