Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 275: Am I So Bad in Your Eyes?
Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Am I So Bad in Your Eyes?
Lin Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then struggled fiercely.
But it only took one hand for Gong Chen to subdue her, his other hand even finding time to pinch out a cigarette.
Lin Zhiyi cursed angrily, "Are you sick?"
Gong Chen didn’t answer her, but coldly stared at the young man.
"Get lost."
"What right do you have to make me leave? I’m a guest invited by Miss Lin, and Miss Lin hasn’t even spoken yet. Do you know what fair competition means?" the young man retorted dissatisfiedly.
Lin Zhiyi nodded slightly, made a gesture to get up, but as soon as she stood up, Gong Chen pulled her back into his arms.
His hand supported her waist and stomach, pressing slightly, with the warmth of his palm seeping through the fabric, ironing her skin.
Just as she was about to struggle, the man stared at her with pitch-black eyes, his slender fingertips already hooked on the hem of her shirt, even unintentionally caressing the skin around her waist.
Lin Zhiyi trembled all over.
Gong Chen leaned in close and whispered in her ear, a voice only the two of them could hear, "I don’t mind competing."
Lin Zhiyi bit her lip hard, not wanting to make any inappropriate sounds.
Gong Chen glanced at Chen Jin at the door.
Regaining his serious demeanor, Chen Jin turned and walked in, grabbing the young man by the back of the neck.
"Come, take a walk with me."
The young man stiffened his neck, suddenly feeling as if it was going to break, and could only nod.
"Alright, alright, I’ll leave now."
As he was stiffly about to follow Chen Jin, Lin Zhiyi glanced at her phone, ninety-eight percent.
Just a bit more and she would have succeeded.
Ignoring Gong Chen’s control, she gritted her teeth and struggled to her feet.
"Don’t leave!" Lin Zhiyi angrily looked at Gong Chen, "You have no right to control me."
Chen Jin was also startled by her scream, unsure what to do for a moment, and could only look towards Gong Chen.
Under the dim lighting, Gong Chen slowly moved in front of Lin Zhiyi, his ambiguous top light obscured.
Standing backlight, his hair shimmered, making the emotions swirling in his eyes appear even more intense.
As he approached, Lin Zhiyi instinctively stepped back and hid her clenched phone behind her.
But she was too slow, and Gong Chen reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her towards him.
Instantly, the phone slipped from her hand.
With a smack, the phone fell to the ground, the screen suddenly lighting up, the progress bar stopping at ninety-nine percent.
Suddenly realizing something, the young man didn’t even care about the possibility of his neck being twisted, immediately turning on his phone.
Then, he glared at Lin Zhiyi and aggressively tapped the screen: "Bitch! You tricked me!"
As he cursed, the progress bar dimmed and stalled.
Lin Zhiyi’s face turned pale; she was so close!
She lunged at the young man like a madwoman, reaching for his phone.
But Gong Chen restrained her body from behind, commanding Chen Jin, "Take it out, delete anything that shouldn’t exist."
"No! Stop! Let go of me!"
Lin Zhiyi screamed hoarsely, her voice cracking, but her body couldn’t move at all.
She could only watch helplessly as the young man was led away by Chen Jin, all evidence disappearing in that moment.
She drooped her shoulders dejectedly, no longer struggling, standing ashen in place.
Not until Gong Chen turned her around did she finally look up at him.
"You did that to my phone on purpose just now, didn’t you?"
Gong Chen lowered his eyes, not even bothering to come up with an excuse to appease her.
"Yes, I’ve already warned you not to mess around."
"Since you knew my purpose for coming here, then you must know what Wen Qing did behind the scenes. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t favor her? Yet you had Assistant Chen delete the evidence, is this your fairness?"
"..."
Gong Chen remained silent, only tightening his grip on her shoulders.
Lin Zhiyi stared coldly at him, her body trembling uncontrollably. "Why are you not speaking? So, even Third Young Master is too lazy to explain."
Gong Chen said coldly, "Your mother is alright now."
The moment he finished speaking, Lin Zhiyi felt as if all the oxygen around her had been drained. A hoarse breathing sound struggled from her throat, like a dehydrated fish desperately trying to breathe.
She almost used up all her strength to shout out, "What does it take for it to be considered serious? Waiting for her to die? Then there will be no one in this world who knows what Wen Qing did to her, and you can comfortably sign that eye-catching big deal with her!"
"She’s my mother! The only family I have left in this world! Are you asking me to watch her be humiliated?"
"Even if you scorn me, she is still your second brother’s wife. Do you really only see profits in your eyes?"
Her voice echoed in the private room, causing Lin Zhiyi’s temples to throb.
But that was nothing compared to the pain in her chest.
She still remembered Liu He’s mangled body after the car accident.
The funeral home staff said she was missing a leg and asked if she wanted to buy a prosthetic leg to put on for the cremation so that at least she could depart with dignity.
The prosthetic for a dead person wasn’t installed as carefully as it would be for a living person.
Since the amputation site couldn’t close, they had to nail it directly to stabilize it.
Lin Zhiyi etched that scene deep into her brain, turning it into hatred, hating Song Wanqiu every moment.
And now, she realized it all was a lie.
Lin Zhiyi forcefully pushed Gong Chen away, turned around to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.
"Am I that despicable in your eyes?"
"Third Young Master, what else? Thankfully, I remember nothing. Forgetting everything truly is a blessing from God."
"Lin Zhiyi!" He gazed at Lin Zhiyi, his eyes flickering strangely.
But none of that mattered to Lin Zhiyi anymore.
She shook off his hand and turned around to leave the private room. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Soon after, Chen Jin came in.
"Third Young Master, it’s taken care of, Miss Lin..."
"Let her go."
Gong Chen’s breathing was unsteady as he grabbed a bottle of wine from the table and began drinking directly from it.
Elsewhere.
Lin Zhiyi walked out of the club, took out her phone, opened another account, glanced at it, and walked away without looking back.
...
The young man was beaten up by Chen Jin before being let go.
Looking at the transferred content, he immediately thought of someone.
So, bearing the pain all over his body, he found Wen Qing.
Wen Qing looked at the visitor and scolded, "Who allowed you to come?"
"President Wen, a woman approached me and I even got beaten up because of it," the young man grimaced in pain.
"A woman?" Wen Qing pulled out a phone and found Lin Zhiyi’s photo. "Is it her?"
"Yes, yes, it’s her. But she didn’t succeed, someone else from my field interrupted her midway," the young man touched his swollen face, relieved.
Hearing this, Wen Qing sighed in relief, yet his brows did not relax.
"Lin Zhiyi, I underestimated you. Seems like you won’t stop until you see the coffin."
Wen Qing narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the young man: "I’ll give you some money, you better lay low for a while. And keep the pressure on Liu He, better yet, drive her insane."
"Okay."
The young man took the money and immediately left.
Wen Qing then stared at Lin Zhiyi’s picture on the phone for a few seconds.
Suddenly, she dialed a number.
"Mr. He, your chance to shine has arrived."
