Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Her, I Want Too

At this moment, the sound of a dagger hitting the table came from the head seat.

In an instant, the atmosphere plunged to freezing point again.

Old Mr. Gong accepted a towel handed by the butler and wiped his hands, saying sternly, "I can’t get you to come over usually, and I have to call her in, then you’re willing to come back this once."

Gong Chen replied flatly, "I don’t want to come back."

The straightforward answer made Lin Zhiyi feel the air around compress.

The old man gripped the towel tightly and warned, "Gong Chen! Don’t forget your identity!"

"Are you really going to oppose the family for this woman?"

"Lin Zhiyi hid away and gave birth to your child, showing her ill intentions."

"If you remain obstinate, how will you convince the masses?"

The heavy, authoritative voice echoed threateningly in the hall.

Before the echo had faded, the old man cast a glance at the others.

Everyone disregarded Lin Zhiyi’s presence, speaking righteously.

"Lao San, you must not be deceived by Lin Zhiyi. Back then, she went to great lengths to climb into your bed, trying to make it widely known."

"Now that nobody knows, quickly send her away, the further the better."

"Lao San, you’re the CEO of the Gong Group, the head of the entire family, you must not be associated with her in any way."

"She caused havoc in the Gong Family before, she’s clearly a menace!"

"..."

Lin Zhiyi bit her lip fiercely, yet couldn’t suppress the paleness on her face.

Saying her heart was not troubled was a lie.

These elders were ones Lin Zhiyi always treated with the utmost respect, staying out of each other’s way.

Yet, even after coming this far, they still wouldn’t relent.

Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath, sneaking a glance at Chen Jin beside her.

Chen Jin always carried two knives, who knows where he’d pull one from at a convenient moment.

Rather than being stifled now, she might as well go crazy.

At worst, let Li Huan write her another psychiatric diagnosis form.

Chen Jin seemed to see through her thoughts, stood with hands behind his back, his sleeves clenched tightly.

His eyes signaled: Don’t even think about it.

Tap, tap, tap, the sound of fingers lightly tapping on the side table surface.

Lin Zhiyi and Chen Jin lowered their heads, just meeting Gong Chen’s deep dark eyes.

Should I send you two out to ’flirt’?

At this moment, the old man’s light cough came from the head seat.

"Gong Chen, you should understand the elders’ intentions, there’s no need for me to teach you what decision to make."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi felt a thud in her chest.

No wonder Gong Chen didn’t want to return to the Gong Family, it was clearly a feast with hidden intent.

Eighteen highly respected elders applying pressure together, this wasn’t a choice, it was coercion.

After going around in circles, Lin Zhiyi became just another option.

Only this time, she had less of her past obsessions. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Whether it was in her past life or when she first reincarnated in this life, she had a vague sense of dissatisfaction.

Why were she and Xingxing so undeserving of love?

Like Ren Xiya said, she never approached Gong Chen’s choice from a place of trust.

Because she already knew his choice, she kept torturing herself and him to remember certain hatred.

As Sang Ran said, when faced with a choice, Gong Chen weighed the pros and cons, yet she was also selfish.

Back then, she couldn’t even protect herself yet hoped the other would forsake everything to choose her, then face danger together.

But why should Gong Chen do that?

After leaving, she became more understanding, realizing the person who should choose her the most was herself.

She shouldn’t put herself as an option, she should take the initiative.

At this moment, hearing "choice" again, Lin Zhiyi clearly felt much more at ease.

Gong Chen would have his own considerations, whatever he chose.

And she would have her considerations for herself.

But as Lin Zhiyi waited for Gong Chen to respond, she subconsciously clenched her fingers, though her eyes were much clearer.

Gong Chen stood tall with his back straight, his hand resting on a small table, gently tapping on the surface occasionally.

The subtle movements were unhurried, blending with the grand oriental decor, creating an indescribable oppressive atmosphere in the entire room.
