Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Unlike You, I Can Never See Clearly

Wen Qing saw that Mrs. He remained silent and urged her, "Mrs. He, speak your mind. Here are the Third Young Master and Old Mr. Gong, who will surely stand up for you."

Mrs. He pursed her lips and, after a few seconds, vigorously shook her head.

"It’s not that. Lin Zhiyi never agreed. It was He Yao who took a fancy to her and wanted to force her to marry."

"Mrs. He! What nonsense are you talking about?" Wen Qing’s eyes became fiercely intense as she quickly stepped forward.

But Lin Zhiyi raised her hand to block her approach and counter-questioned, "President Wen, this is something Mrs. He has admitted herself, how can you call it nonsense? Is it only the truth if I’m said to have thrown myself at him? What are your true intentions?"

She calmly watched as Wen Qing’s forehead throbbed with anger, yet she found herself unable to counter.

Of course, Mrs. He wouldn’t speak in favor of Wen Qing.

Because Lin Zhiyi had a video of Mrs. He and the young man, which was much more explosive than anything Liu He had.

Once it got out, combined with He Yao’s affair, Mrs. He’s future would become very difficult.

Faced with great trouble, she naturally chose self-preservation.

And this was the method Wen Qing used to ensure Mrs. He’s compliance.

Wen Qing seemed to realize something, and with gnashing teeth, attempted to retort but was angrily interrupted by Gong Shiyan.

"Wen Qing, have you had enough? I’ll say it one last time, please don’t harass my wife and daughter!"

Following that, he turned to Old Mr. Gong with displeasure.

"Dad, since you dislike our marriage so much, it’s good timing for me to tell you something. Xiao He and I plan to move out and live separately."

Old Mr. Gong was taken aback.

Before he could react, Wen Qing loudly queried, "You’re moving out of the Gong Family for her? To this extent for her?"

"Yes, because she is my wife. Since I chose her, I have never regretted it. The Gong Family... The Third Young Master is enough, I’m not as capable as him, only he can take the Gong Family to greater heights."

What Gong Shiyan implied was that he would never vie with Gong Chen.

He would rather be known as the Second Young Master who couldn’t stand on his own than give up on Liu He.

Upon hearing this, Liu He threw herself into his arms and began to sob.

"I’m sorry."

"You should be, keeping such a huge matter from me," Gong Shiyan gently patted her back, not too harshly rebuking her.

After all, a woman faced with such troubles would already be scared enough.

Seeing this, Wen Qing stormed out of the hospital room angrily.

Lin Zhiyi called out to her, "President Wen, take your little plaything with you. I think the police will soon be after him."

Wen Qing left with a distorted expression, without turning back.

Old Mr. Gong gave Lin Zhiyi a sharp look and left the room with a cold huff, followed by the others.

"Zhiyi, I’ll go with your mother for a check-up first, take your time to talk things out."

Gong Shiyan glanced subconsciously at the man in the corner as he spoke, then turned to help Liu He out of the hospital room.

Afterward, the remaining people in the room looked at each other in silence, quiet as though no one was present.

In the corner, Gong Chen twirled a cigarette.

As he stood up, his silhouette wavered in the smoke for a moment but quickly regained his usual composure.

He approached Lin Zhiyi, a low chuckle in his voice that sounded almost like self-mockery.

"From the beginning, you never believed in me, preferring to gamble on Second Brother’s affection for your mother."

Lin Zhiyi clenched her fists and met his gaze with a smile.

"How could that be? Of course, I believe in Third Young Master’s capabilities, which is why I specifically asked Doctor Li to seek help from you."

"But, Third Young Master, your actions have been truly disappointing. I had to protect myself. I was the one who called the cops, and I proposed to the police to use myself in their investigation on He Yao."

"The evidence I asked you to delete was intentionally shown to you, and the young man was deliberately let go. Otherwise, how could he go and tip off He Yao, and how would that provoke He Yao to make a move against me?"

"The only thing that didn’t disappoint me about Third Young Master was your use of me to catch the bigger fish."

"Trust? Don’t joke with me. I trust my uncle because at least I can see his feelings for my mother."

Not like you, whom I can never see clearly.

"Visible... visible..."

He murmured repeatedly, heading straight for the door.
