Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Half of Five Million

Lin Zhiyi is now a mother, and her vigilance is high. No matter who tries to be friendly, she instinctively questions their intentions.

She doesn’t particularly care about Du Qian’s attitude towards her; she only hopes Du Qian will fulfill his duty as a doctor and properly treat Xingxing.

But today, at the inn, seeing him try to barge into the room without considering her feelings, she had already completely lost trust in him.

So when Du Qian appeared at the couples’ hotel, her mood didn’t fluctuate significantly.

Now, her only concern is Xingxing’s illness.

"What about Xingxing?"

The car went silent for a moment.

Gong Chen looked at her and asked, "Do you want to return to Jing City?"

Lin Zhiyi decisively shook her head. "I don’t belong there."

"What if I want to take Xingxing back for treatment?" Gong Chen continued to ask.

Lin Zhiyi hesitated slightly.

The medical standards in Jing City are indeed far superior to those in Gang City, and with Gong Chen’s influence, Xingxing could receive the best treatment.

But...

"I can’t go back. I promised Sang Ran," Lin Zhiyi said helplessly, lowering her head, somewhat afraid to look at Gong Chen. "I accepted her money."

Although Lin Zhiyi knew that Sang Ran merely wanted a guarantee, the money was indeed taken.

Sang Ran’s health is fragile—going back would only add fuel to the fire.

No matter how ruthless she might be in disregarding Sang Ran’s feelings, she couldn’t ignore Sang Li.

Sang Li had helped her countless times.

"How much?" Gong Chen rubbed his temples.

He was curious to know how much he was worth.

Lin Zhiyi held up five fingers. "Five million. But I didn’t spend it; I put it in the bank to collect interest."

Gong Chen felt annoyed and amused at the same time. "I’m only worth five million?"

The things he casually gifted her were worth far more.

For five million, she had sold him out.

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips. "No, you only account for half. The other half was for her brother."

Actually, it was also for Xingxing.

But in the end, Sang Ran intentionally spared Xingxing, so that part didn’t count.

Gong Chen thought for a moment and sneered. "Heh, half of five million, huh?"

"Mm."

"Just ’mm’?" Gong Chen narrowed his eyes.

"..."

Lin Zhiyi obediently shut her mouth.

It wasn’t she who decided the amount.

Thinking about these matters, her heart grew heavier with conflict.

Her dignity was nothing compared to Xingxing’s life.

But Sang Ran’s life was also at stake.

Gong Chen paused for a moment, seeing through Lin Zhiyi’s worries.

"Zhiyi..."

"Can you let me think about it more? Don’t force me," Lin Zhiyi instinctively leaned closer to the car door, increasing the distance between them.

She knew Gong Chen’s methods all too well; even after being reborn, she was no match for him.

People like Gong Chen, in his social circle, were experts at strategic maneuvers.

How could he possibly continue following the storyline of her previous life just because she had managed to foresee a few outcomes and succeeded once?

These kinds of people would immediately analyze the pros and cons, mitigate risks, and then adjust their next step accordingly.

Lin Zhiyi had changed her choices, which also changed theirs, but her thoughts still lagged behind them.

In her moment of reflection, she instinctively tightened her hand—only to realize Gong Chen was holding it.

"I’m saying I’ll bring the medical team here to treat Xingxing. I have no intention of forcing you back to Jing City."

Lin Zhiyi looked at him skeptically. "Really?"

"You have that little trust in me?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"..."

Lin Zhiyi said nothing, which was essentially her tacit acknowledgment of his question.

"I’ll prove it to you. I’ve already told Li Huan to find experts in this field. Once we’re back, you can ask him yourself."
