Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Actually, I Know It All In My Heart

Sang Ran lifted her eyes to look at Gong Chen, but she could not penetrate his emotions.

She thought he was just angry, and reached out to hold his hand, but he dodged it.

She stood there, stunned, yet still managed to grasp the sleeve of his jacket.

"Third Young Master, my aunt has always been with me like a mother, to me she is another mother, I really can’t stand to see her in trouble."

"So you knew what she did?" Gong Chen retorted coldly.

"I... she just told me, she informed the old master about Zhiyi’s study abroad."

Sang Ran’s voice grew softer as she spoke, her head also gradually lowered.

She was very aware that Wen Qing had done more than that.

Gong Chen’s eyes slightly drooped, his voice tinged with a cold light, "How did she come to know about Lin Zhiyi going abroad?"

"..."

Sang Ran bit her lip hard, her face drained of color.

Gong Chen understood, pulled his sleeve from her grasp and stood up.

"Leave this place." He said coldly, issuing an unmistakable order to leave.

Sang Ran looked at him in shock, then collapsed directly onto the ground.

As Gong Chen turned to walk away, she reached out and grabbed his trouser leg.

"Third Young Master, in consideration of the leg I lost for you, please spare my aunt, I beg you."

Gong Chen looked down at her expressionlessly and said, "Xiao Ran, once a favor is used up, it’s gone."

Sang Ran lifted her head, her voice choking, "I know, can you not be so good to me? We’re about to be husband and wife."

He closed his eyes gently, his expression frosty: "Hmm."

Sang Ran got the response she wanted, but the tears streamed down nonetheless.

Just as she tried to grab the man in front of her again, Chen Jin stopped her.

Chen Jin said solemnly, "Miss Sang, the driver is already waiting for you downstairs, let me escort you down."

Sang Ran pursed her lips and allowed Chen Jin to lead her away.

Gong Chen’s back was to her all the while.

When Chen Jin returned, Gong Chen was drinking.

"Care to join me?" He poured half a glass for Chen Jin.

Chen Jin noticed his complexion and didn’t decline, nodding as he stepped forward.

Gong Chen threw his head back to drink, his throat struggling to swallow, as if what went down wasn’t the burn of alcohol but the taste of bitterness.

Chen Jin took a sip of his drink and said with sympathy, "Third Young Master, I’ve found a doctor who may be able to treat Miss Lin’s hand, as per your instructions."

Gong Chen stayed silent, his self-mockery evident in a tremulous smile, his hand shaking as he poured more wine.

Chen Jin took the bottle from his hand and continued to pour.

With arms splayed out, propping against the desk, Gong Chen lowered his head and spoke deep and low, "Tell me, why do they love to beg me so much?"

"Is it really begging?"

As he spoke, he snatched the half-poured drink Chen Jin was holding and gulped it down.

Chen Jin was rendered speechless, well aware it was not pleading.

His mother used her death to get Gong Chen to swear to retake the legacy.

The Gong Family begged him with familial love to keep the big picture in mind and to make all the crucial decisions.

The Sang Family used a favor to plead with him to marry Sang Ran.

Liu He pleaded with her life for him to give up on Lin Zhiyi.

This was coercion.

Gong Chen gripped the glass tightly, and when he lifted his gaze, his eyes were rimmed red.

"I didn’t protect her. I deserve this."

His long fingers pressed against the documents on the desk and pushed them towards Chen Jin.

"Give these to Sang Li, he will handle it well."

Chen Jin glanced at the documents, stunned, "But these... you worked so hard to..."

"Give them to him."

Gong Chen turned back to his room and sat in his chair, staring at the couple cups beside him.

...

In the hospital room.

When Lin Zhiyi woke up again, Sang Li immediately leaned in closer.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Lin Zhiyi shook her head with a slightly hoarse voice, "I’m feeling a bit better."

Sang Li raised the pillow behind her, "I’ve already called in a specialist for a consultation, we’ll definitely find a solution."
