Lin Zhiyi didn’t quite understand the meaning behind Gong Chen’s few words.
Until Old Mr. Gong’s voice sounded again.
"Let me introduce my foster son, Gong Yao."
After the words fell, a tall figure entered from the side door.
The dark gray suit made the man appear very upright and dignified.
When Lin Zhiyi looked at his face, her eyes widened in horror.
A handsome yet familiar face.
She had seen his younger photos in Old Mr. Gong’s bedroom.
The man in front of her bears seven or eight points of resemblance to Old Mr. Gong in his youth.
Especially in the eyes, they are identical.
Foster son?
Lin Zhiyi suddenly remembered some words Ren Xiya had once said to her.
Old Mr. Gong promised Ren Xiya would willingly deal with her.
He also promised Ren Xiya she would become the Gong Family’s young lady, marrying with great splendor.
The method was to first recognize her as a foster daughter.
So this Gong Yao...
Lin Zhiyi worriedly looked at Gong Chen.
Gong Chen, however, was unexpectedly calm.
"Third Young Master."
"When Ren Xiya appeared, I knew he couldn’t possibly leave only one hand hidden. This family never lacks children; whoever is capable and obedient can claim their position."
Lin Zhiyi was shocked and said, "You knew?"
"He’s a director for Gong Group’s foreign branch, always working under an English name," Gong Chen mocked lightly.
"Ah?"
Lin Zhiyi opened her mouth, unsure of how to proceed.
She lamented internally, why did she bother fighting with these people previously?
With what justification?
How could she possess such foresight?
After her lament, Lin Zhiyi’s mind whirred swiftly, but she still couldn’t recall Gong Yao’s name.
Could it be that he had always been abroad in her past life?
Was it because of her changes that this variable appeared here?
As she came to this conclusion, a flash of insight struck her mind.
"Third Young Master, what’s his English name?"
"Daniel."
A very common English name, almost every document wouldn’t take an extra second to look at such a name.
After murmuring the name a few times in her mind, Lin Zhiyi began to feel restless.
She had definitely heard of it before.
No matter how common the name is, she distinctly heard it in her past life, and very close by.
But she simply couldn’t recall it.
"What’s wrong?" Gong Chen asked softly.
Lin Zhiyi knew no one would believe her, so she shook her head: "It’s nothing, just thinking the name is too common, I feel like I’ve heard it before."
"Otherwise how else would he mix within Gong Group? There are over five Daniels in a foreign branch."
"So it was deliberate." Lin Zhiyi understood his meaning.
"Hmm."
While speaking, applause had already risen from the audience.
Lin Zhiyi looked up and saw Gong Yao already standing beside Old Mr. Gong.
Old Mr. Gong smiled more joyously than usual, as if telling everyone how much he valued this foster son.
But Bai Ruoshu on his other side couldn’t smile.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the person Old Mr. Gong truly wanted to match was Bai Ruoshu and foster son Gong Yao.
It was clear Miss Bai was unwilling.
Yet, concerned with appearances, she could only stand on stage painfully forcing a smile.
Lin Zhiyi wondered aloud: "Why did Old Mr. Gong bring him back so prominently at this time, and even intend to match him with Bai Ruoshu?"
Gong Chen didn’t answer and said calmly: "Let’s go, let’s go out and see."
"Hmm."
