Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 273 He Has Been Married Four Times
Chapter 273: Chapter 273 He Has Been Married Four Times
Lin Zhiyi’s entire body was about to crash onto the shattered glass pieces when someone pulled her back.
"Lin Zhiyi, what’s wrong with you?"
It was Li Huan.
Seeing an old acquaintance, Lin Zhiyi clung to his sleeve desperately, like a drowning person grasping at a lifeline.
Li Huan noticed her pale complexion, immediately helped her sit down, and then opened the door for some fresh air.
After making sure she was taken care of, he brought out his professional doctor skills to check on Lin Zhiyi’s basic condition.
He then frowned and complained, "I’ve warned you before, your health is so fragile, like half a battery, and now look, you’re leaking electricity! Keep this up, and I’ll be waiting to attend a feast."
Lin Zhiyi, having recovered a bit, glared at him while casting a glance at Liu He, who had burst into tears.
Li Huan got the hint and smiled, "Just kidding, I’m just reminding you to take good care of your health."
Liu He wiped her tears and asked, "What’s going on? You were fine just a moment ago, why did you faint?"
Lin Zhiyi quickly said, "Low blood sugar, I was rushing to bring you something to eat and didn’t have time to eat myself."
"You scared me to death, I’ll get you something to eat right now."
Liu He patted her chest and turned around to fetch a small bowl of food for Lin Zhiyi.
Seeing this, Li Huan patted her arm.
"What happened to you?"
"Low blood sugar," Lin Zhiyi replied.
"You really don’t take me seriously as a doctor, even though I got a bit of news and came over to tell you," Li Huan clicked his tongue.
Lin Zhiyi looked up at him and smiled, "Doctor Li, I was just a bit concerned about my mom’s mental state, but I didn’t want her to notice, so I lied."
"That definitely makes you a lot cuter," Li Huan grinned, showing his big teeth.
Lin Zhiyi’s almond eyes expressed a hint of resentment.
Li Huan pointed outside, "Let’s talk outside."
Lin Zhiyi shook her head and followed Li Huan out of the ward.
"What did you find out?"
"Didn’t you send me information about He Yao during lunch?" Li Huan pointed to his phone.
Lin Zhiyi nodded, "He Yao is a bit strange, but with his status, he shouldn’t agree to a blind date with me."
"You’re right because he has been married four times abroad."
"What? Four times! He’s only thirty! Could he have spent these years just getting married, then divorcing, then marrying again?" Lin Zhiyi was shocked.
Li Huan’s expression turned serious, "Wrong, it’s been widowhood."
Lin Zhiyi was speechless, unsure of what to say, feeling the discomfort she had when she first met He Yao and his mother returning.
"The first time, his pregnant wife died in a car accident; the second time, both he and his wife encountered danger at sea; the third time, his wife was kidnapped and bled to death from having her leg cut off; the fourth one is even more outrageous. On Halloween, he and his wife thought the other was a thief. During the scuffle, they accidentally killed each other, and it’s said that his wife’s legs were blown apart by a shotgun, and he himself also fell from a building and was critically injured."
"Do you believe that?"
Lin Zhiyi’s lips trembled slightly, a strange light flickered in her eyes, but when she looked at Li Huan, she composed herself.
"I find it bizarre, but the foreign police’s investigation shows it was all accidental. In our terms, it’s like bad luck with wives, which is why no one is willing to marry him now. I advise you to stay away from this family."
Li Huan felt chills just talking about it.
However, Lin Zhiyi gradually calmed down upon hearing this and said with a bitter smile, "If I don’t look for them, do you think they won’t come to me with problems?"
"Lin Zhiyi, I think you should find—"
"Stop it."
Lin Zhiyi knew whom Li Huan wanted to mention.
Gong Chen.
But in her past life, Gong Chen had chosen to deceive her for Sang Ran.
Now Sang Ran was by his side, Wen Qing was Sang Ran’s aunt, so how would he choose?
Seeing Lin Zhiyi’s distrust, Li Huan immediately spoke up for Gong Chen.
"Lin Zhiyi, no matter what, he helped you so much. If he wanted you to be in danger, why would he risk it himself? Don’t just write him off."
Upon hearing, Lin Zhiyi furrowed her brows slightly, her long feathery lashes trembling, a trace of sorrow and self-mockery staining her brow.
After pursing her pale, thin lips, she let out a soft chuckle.
"Fine, since you trust him so much, go tell him who I’m looking for, but I hope you don’t tell him everything, after all, I’m not certain about what’s between He Yao and Wen Qing, saying too much might just lead Sang Ran to misunderstand that I’m falsely accusing her aunt."
"I understand. See, this is more like it, why would the Third Young Master need to go to any trouble? Wait for my message."
Li Huan heaved a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Lin Zhiyi looked at his retreating figure with cold detachment, her slender, fragile wrist tensing faintly, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
When she returned to the hospital room, Liu He was sitting by the bed in a daze.
"Mom."
"Come sit down and have something to eat." Liu He beckoned absent-mindedly.
"What’s the matter?" Lin Zhiyi asked cautiously.
"I just saw the weather forecast saying there’s going to be a sudden drop in temperature, all your uncle’s clothes were prepared by me, what if he can’t find them?"
While Liu He mentioned clothes, what she really meant was that she missed Gong Shiyan.
Since the couple got together, they had seldom been apart.
Lin Zhiyi took her hand: "Mom, we’ll be able to go back soon."
After the meal, Lin Zhiyi stayed in the hospital room with Liu He for a while.
As evening approached, she received a message from Li Huan.
"Found him, sent you the address, by the way, he might have guessed something."
"Got it."
Looking at the address, Lin Zhiyi sneered.
...
Lie Ren Club.
This place was a high-end leisure and entertainment venue, true to its name.
A prime spot for seeking pleasures.
Wen Qing, who looked down on Liu He in every way, how could she possibly find Liu He a clean man.
This type of young man, who could be had for money, was perfect for humiliating Liu He.
To go there, Lin Zhiyi had specifically borrowed an outfit from Xue Man.
A dark coffee-colored trench coat, paired with a silk V-neck blouse inside, the gemstone necklace on her collarbone wasn’t large, but its quality was excellent and understated.
The simplest white wide-leg pants on the bottom, one hand in the pocket, the other clutching a palm-sized handbag, her whole look screamed old-money yet casual.
Anyone familiar with high-end venues would recognize that though she wore not a single logo, the handbag alone was worth hundreds of thousands.
No sooner had she sat down and propped her chin on her hand than men started to come over with drinks.
"Miss, you’re so pretty, are you alone?"
Lin Zhiyi gave the man who approached a once over and pushed the drink back: "You’re not my type, but this round’s on me."
She deliberately raised her voice a bit, intending to let those around her know she was there to find a man.
Then came a steady stream of men.
Until one took the bait.
"Steven." The man extended his hand in a faux-gentlemanly manner, his appearance could be described as nothing short of exquisite.
"Find a good spot and have a drink?" Lin Zhiyi said with interest.
"Of course, having a drink with such a beautiful lady like you would be an honor."
Thinking himself charming, the man stretched out his arm, gesturing for Lin Zhiyi to take it.
Lin Zhiyi smiled and took his arm, then walked off in another direction.
It all went so smoothly that she didn’t notice the man in the corner.
Leaning back in his chair, the man’s long legs were crossed, his face cloaked in darkness; the tailored suit accentuated his sleek and toned figure.
A hand holding a cigarette lifted a glass to his lips, his eyes squinting at the figure being escorted by another, and he downed the drink in one gulp.
