Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Being Used

Lin Zhiyi knew she couldn’t hide it from him.

After thinking for a moment, she told Gong Chen about Shuangshuang’s unusual behavior.

"You said she knows Sang Li is your fiancé?"

"Yes." Lin Zhiyi nodded.

"I’ll have Sang Li call off the engagement tomorrow." Gong Chen frowned, looking displeased.

"Is that the main point?"

Lin Zhiyi looked up at Gong Chen.

He lowered his head slightly, leaned closer to Lin Zhiyi, and squinted as he spoke, "I’ve always found him unpleasant."

Lin Zhiyi raised her hand and hammered him lightly: "I’m talking about serious matters here."

Gong Chen restrained his gaze and said plainly, "You said your roommate’s husband wants to partner with Gong Group?"

"Yes." Lin Zhiyi recalled the company name on the business card, "It’s called Huayue."

"Zhiyi, do you know how many companies in Jing City want to partner with Gong Group? Even setting aside the family businesses and big companies, I’ve never even heard of Huayue."

The implication was that Shuangshuang’s husband’s company was not at all qualified to partner with Gong Group.

Lin Zhiyi thought carefully and immediately realized.

"You’re saying Shuangshuang was used?" Lin Zhiyi asked worriedly, "Could it be her husband forcing her? She’s a bit naïve, all she thinks about is getting married, but I heard her in-laws aren’t very kind."

"Heard from who? Her husband must understand his own limits, using favors to pressure you through your roommate is not a good strategy, it’s ruining everything." Gong Chen said lightly.

No businessman would handle things like this.

"Fang Lai’er. Another roommate..."

Lin Zhiyi paused, a feeling slowly surged within her.

She nodded: "I understand now."

Gong Chen raised his hand to pat her head: "Fortunately, not all sense is lost post-pregnancy."

Lin Zhiyi yanked down his restless hand: "Who’s dumb? You’re the dumb one! Let’s go back!"

As she tried to pull back her hand, Gong Chen instead clasped their hands together more securely.

Then he tucked her hand into his coat.

He wasn’t one to speak much usually, just holding her hand as they walked.

After a few steps, he whispered into the wind.

"Zhiyi, with me here, I promise everything will be okay."

Lin Zhiyi curled her fingers; although the wind was cold, her body felt warm.

At that moment, a figure peeped out from the corner of the street.

Shuangshuang.

She bit her lip watching the two figures holding hands.

A text message popped up on her phone.

"I told you earlier, she won’t help you. In her eyes, you’re not even considered a friend anymore."

Shuangshuang’s eyes reddened.

Clearly, before graduation, they were still so close, and she had helped Lin Zhiyi privately.

She had even put aside her pride to plead, why wouldn’t Lin Zhiyi help her?

This matter won’t end just like this.

...

Su He Bay.

Lin Zhiyi greeted Liao Yi and then went to Xingxing’s room.

Xingxing fell asleep quickly as she coaxed him.

As she tiptoed up, her silenced phone lit up.

It was actually a message from Gong Chen.

Opening the message, the words "Huayue" leapt into her sight. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Lin Zhiyi was a bit surprised and quickly read the content, suddenly understanding Shuangshuang’s abnormality.

Her husband’s company was having financial difficulties.

Lin Zhiyi reopened Shuangshuang’s social media and found it was set to be visible only for the last three days.

She pondered for a few seconds, then turned back to the master bedroom.

Upon entering, she saw Gong Chen sitting in a chair by the window, resting with closed eyes.

"You saw it?"

"You found out so quickly?" Lin Zhiyi asked in surprise.

"I asked someone." He said lightly.

"Although I don’t understand business strategies, wasn’t Shuangshuang’s husband’s company’s state fine before? How did they suddenly run into a financial bottleneck?"

"They fell into a trap." Gong Chen opened his eyes.
