Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349: Chapter 349: No Need to Attend the Wedding

When Lin Zhiyi got home, Sang Li was already waiting at the door.

He was on the phone and when he saw her, he said softly, "I’ve seen her."

Then he hung up the phone.

Sang Li walked up to Lin Zhiyi and, seeing her blood-stained clothes, spoke gently, "Are you alright?"

Lin Zhiyi nodded, her voice hoarse: "Yeah."

Sang Li took out a handkerchief and reached out to wipe the blood off Lin Zhiyi’s neck.

Lin Zhiyi dodged slightly, and he stopped mid-air, changing the subject, "Let’s go inside first, shall we have a good talk?"

Lin Zhiyi didn’t refuse, she opened the door and saw the messy room and the bloodstains on the floor, but she walked in calmly, as if she didn’t see them.

Sang Li watched this scene with deep furrowed brows.

"The sofa is not fit to sit on, sit in the dining room first. I’ll go change my clothes," Lin Zhiyi said expressionlessly as she headed to the bedroom, oblivious to everything around her.

Sang Li sensed that something was wrong: "Zhiyi..."

Lin Zhiyi ignored him and went straight back to her room.

By the time she came out, Sang Li had tidied up the room, and the traces of blood on the floor were almost gone.

There was even a freshly brewed cup of tea on the table.

Sang Li stood by the table with his sleeves rolled up, "I’m not good at this, but I could only do so much."

Lin Zhiyi clenched her injured hand, nervously saying, "You don’t have to do this, we’ve already broken up."

Sang Li pulled her down to sit and placed the cup in her palm, signaling her to take a drink first.

"Zhiyi, at least give me a chance to explain the reasons and consequences clearly," he said.

"Your hand was actually injured by bodyguards bribed by the old master, aiming to make you hate the Third Young Master."

"Chen Jin couldn’t stand it, took Zhou Zhao and Li Huan to settle the score with the bodyguards, but unexpectedly discovered the plan of Wen Qing and the old master."

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes flickered as she asked, "Ren Xiya? The old master wanted her to marry you?"

"Yes."

Sang Li nodded affirmatively, augmenting the entire story.

Ren Xiya’s mother, Ren Xue, was forcibly brought back to the country and detained by the old master, threatening Ren Xiya to return home and disrupt the relationship between Lin Zhiyi and Sang Li.

Ren Xiya was actually a very ambitious woman. Whether in studies or in performance, she was always the best.

But she was dragged down by her addicted mother, forced to stay by the old master’s side and cope.

"The Third Young Master told me about your mother meeting Ren Xiya when the old master was injured horseback riding. In fact, that time, the old master wanted to introduce Ren Xiya to a man whose wife was seriously ill," explained Sang Li.

"Ah?" Lin Zhiyi uttered in confusion, "Bereavement?"

"Not dead yet," Sang Li shook his head.

"..."

Lin Zhiyi thought of Ren Xiya, who suddenly broke down in distress.

No wonder it was like this—a mother addicted to drugs, an unfeeling father.

Sang Li continued, "But the horse falling accident, coupled with your mother’s appearance, left the matter unresolved."

Upon reflection, Lin Zhiyi understood the deeper meaning of his words.

"You’re trying to tell me that the Third Young Master stepped in to warn my mother not to talk carelessly, fearing her knowledge would be too extensive and that the old master..."

"Thankfully, your mother is simple by nature and doesn’t think too much, which is why everything has been peaceful so far. As soon as Ren Xiya entered the country, the Third Young Master had people intercept her. I cooperated with her to create a false impression for the old master, and the Third Young Master took responsibility for finding her mother. The Third Young Master asked me to keep you in the dark, not just because of Ren Xiya’s special identity, but also because drug addiction is a crime in our country. If it were connected with you, I’m sure the old master would do everything he could to blame you for it, resolving both you and Ren Xiya and her mother," he explained earnestly.

Sang Li looked at Lin Zhiyi intently.

Lin Zhiyi said coldly, "He was afraid I’d use the matter of Ren Xiya and her mother to threaten him, destroying the good man image he’s built over half his lifetime of being a widower without remarrying."

"Yes."

"But he already knows Ren Xiya told me everything," Lin Zhiyi said worriedly.

As she finished speaking, Sang Li held Lin Zhiyi’s hand tightly.
