Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Please Join Us for a Wedding Banquet Next Week

When Lin Zhiyi returned to the dining table, her eyes were red, and anyone could tell that she had cried.

Sang Ran put down her chopsticks and quickly handed her a tissue, "Zhiyi, what’s wrong?"

Lin Zhiyi pinched the tissue, enduring the pain as she said, "It’s nothing, I just accidentally rubbed soap into my eyes."

Hearing this, Wen Qing glanced at Lin Zhiyi’s swollen eyes and gave a faint, embarrassed smile.

As she sipped her soup, she gave Mrs. He a meaningful look.

Mrs. He set down her chopsticks, adjusted the fur over her shoulders, and looked at Lin Zhiyi with pity.

"Lin Zhiyi, we’ve already talked to Third Young Master, and the wedding will be next week. A simple ceremony will do."

Lin Zhiyi slightly raised her eyes and coldly glanced at Gong Chen, "No need to ask me."

"It’s good that you understand. A woman should follow her husband like a chicken follows a rooster, or a dog. You should regard your husband as your heaven. Nowadays, women are too spoiled—they all need to be properly disciplined."

As she spoke, Mrs. He looked at Lin Zhiyi. Although she was smiling, her smile hid knives.

"After you get married, I’ll definitely teach you well. Then, you just need to focus on having children. You’re so young; having five, six, seven, or even eight children won’t be a problem."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t respond nor argue, just lightly looked at Mrs. He’s stomach.

Mrs. He’s initially haughty expression changed, and she quickly covered her stomach with the thick fur.

"I... I just worked too much when I was younger to think about having children."

"Mmm."

Lin Zhiyi replied indifferently, finding it all rather ridiculous inside.

There was certainly a reason why the He Family only had single male heirs for four generations.

Mrs. He never considered that while treating others as mere breeding sows, she herself was also a woman.

But she dared to say such things openly because someone was backing her.

The more submissive she acted, the more it probably pleased Gong Chen and Wen Qing.

"Lin Zhiyi, after getting married, quit your job and focus on having children. It’s best if the first child is a boy, as then it won’t matter whether the second child is male or female, and by the third child..." _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

As Mrs. He was about to continue, Gong Chen set his wine glass on the table neither too lightly nor too heavily. His finger, adorned with the red jadeite ring, slid over the rim of the glass, staining it with a trace of blood.

Mrs. He was so frightened that she swallowed her remaining words.

Lin Zhiyi was slightly startled, not quite understanding Gong Chen’s intention.

What was there for him to be angry about?

Before she could ponder further, Wen Qing answered her confusion.

Wen Qing cleared his throat and reminded, "Mrs. He, Xiao Ran has been focusing on her health lately. Constantly talking about having children could pressure her."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked at Sang Ran, whose face indeed looked somewhat pale, seemingly frightened as well.

No wonder Gong Chen was so anxious to interrupt Mrs. He.

Mrs. He immediately said, "How could Miss Sang be any different?"

Sang Ran furrowed her brows, "Zhiyi is a woman too, Mrs. He is a woman too; what’s the difference?"

"Miss Sang is right. Mom, stop talking. Let’s eat first, Miss Sang, try this. It’s a specialty of this restaurant."

Mr. He, who had been silent until now, looked at Sang Ran and chuckled supportively, even gently and considerately serving her food.

Mrs. He, embarrassed, forced a smile and didn’t dare to contradict her son.

Lin Zhiyi looked up at Mr. He with a strange feeling.

Unexpectedly, her action caused Sang Ran to misunderstand.

Sang Ran blocked Mr. He from serving the food, smiling, "Mr. He, no need to be so formal; don’t neglect Zhiyi."

Lin Zhiyi was momentarily stunned, not yet recovered, when Mr. He’s serving of food crashed into her bowl.

Her bowl still contained the leftover half-bowl of soup from earlier, which splashed out, staining her light-colored sweater.

Mr. He said displeased, "I hope you understand what hospitality means—this is not a place to throw a tantrum."

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips and simply took a tissue to wipe her sweater.

Her non-resistance greatly pleased everyone at the table.
