Chapter 85 -85: Pleasing the Fiancée

Old Mr. Gong called the butler to clean up the trash bin.

“Take this trash far away, it’s bothering my mood.”

“Yes.”

In front of Gong Chen, the butler tore up the papers full of “Yi Jing,” crumpled them into balls, and then packed them all into a dark garbage bag before leaving the study.

The old master picked up his teacup and blew on the rim of the cup, admonishing in a deep voice, “This collaboration is very important, don’t mess it up. Song Wanqiu is your fiancée, and her image is your image, too. Don’t give anyone something to hold against you.”

“I understand, I’m leaving now.”

Gong Chen stood up and turned to leave.

…

In the courtyard.

Lin Zhiyi came back and slept all afternoon; after dinner, she started working on her design drafts.

At that time, Liu He came in carrying fruit.

She held out a fruit fork to Lin Zhiyi’s lips, flaunting a large ruby ring on her finger.

Lin Zhiyi bit into a piece of fruit, “Did Uncle give you that?”

Liu He covered her mouth, boasting proudly, “It’s an apology from the Song Family. Qin Shuang bought it at an auction a couple of months ago and never wore it even once before giving it to me.”

“Mom, don’t get too excited. Their gifts are just for show, for Old Mr. Gong to see.”

Lin Zhiyi spoke out of concern, afraid Liu He might let her guard down in the heat of the moment.

A gemstone ring was nothing compared to the status of Song Wanqiu as Gong Chen’s fiancée—not even a drop in the bucket.

They were just leveraging what little they had for something big.

Liu He waved her hand dismissively, “I’m not stupid, but it makes me happy to see her bleed. Who asked them, relying on Lao San’s backing, to bully people! Luckily now, Lao San can’t even be bothered with them!”

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi’s action of eating fruit paused.

“Mom, what do you mean by that?”

Liu He touched the ring, leaning back in the chair casually with a pleased smile.

“How come you’re even more out of the loop than me? Recently, so many things about Song Wanqiu have been exposed. Although she stepped forward to explain, her image has still plummeted.”

“If it were before, Lao San would have definitely stepped in to protect her, but this time he hasn’t done anything until now. Many people are speculating that there’s discord in their relationship.”

“It’s better if they break up, without Lao San to back them up, what’s the Song Family worth? Let’s see how they strut around after this!”

After listening, Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips.

Discord in the relationship?

At Cha Hua Manor when Song Wanqiu’s room was searched, Gong Chen indeed did not stop it.

That wasn’t like him.

As she was thinking, Lin Zhiyi’s phone chimed a few times.

It was a news push notification.

She usually didn’t pay attention to these messages, but this time, she inexplicably clicked on it.

A photo with a striking impact jumped into Lin Zhiyi’s eyes. The fireworks in the photo almost lit up the entire sky.

And under the fireworks stood a perfect couple.

Song Wanqiu and Gong Chen.

The man in the photo looked up at the sky, smiling gently and lightly, a change from his usual reserved public demeanor.

Song Wanqiu, on the other hand, was on her tiptoes, kissing his cheek.

All the comments below were filled with envy.

“Who says Third Young Master and Wanqiu are at odds? Today’s fireworks were specially set off by Third Young Master because Wanqiu was feeling down.”

“So romantic, only Wanqiu can bring out a smile in Third Young Master.”

“This is no different from a prince and a princess.”

Following that, the heroine Song Wanqiu herself appeared to reply.

“Thank you all for your concern, Lao San and I are doing very well. I hope everyone won’t be deceived by the false information online.”

The overall message was that her relationship with Gong Chen was very good, and the previous information about her online was false.
