Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514: Chapter 514 Somewhat Like an Old Acquaintance

Inside the restroom.

Bai Ruoshu finally found an excuse and managed to leave the old man’s side.

Standing in front of the vanity mirror, she could no longer maintain her smile.

She had put in so much effort to be by the old man’s side, only to be matched with an adopted son!

Who was being looked down upon!

Bai Ruoshu’s face darkened, and just as she was about to vent, her mother, Yang Jingwei, entered and locked the door behind her.

"What are you doing? It’s too disgraceful to run out in front of so many people."

"Do you think I’m not disgraceful enough? An adopted son deserves to have a connection with me?"

Bai Ruoshu saw there was no one else around and was too lazy to pretend to be a refined lady.

Yang Jingwei sneered coldly, "The old man brought back an adopted son for no reason, and none of the elders of the Gong Family stood up, indicating they already know. Moreover, take a good look at that adopted son; doesn’t he resemble the old man?"

These words took Bai Ruoshu by surprise.

Bai Ruoshu immediately calmed down.

Recalling Gong Yao’s appearance, especially those eyes, they looked exactly like the old man’s.

"Gong Yao is the old man’s..."

"Adopted son. The old man says he’s an adopted son, so he’s an adopted son." Yang Jingwei immediately interrupted.

Bai Ruoshu nodded.

But her face didn’t look good.

"I don’t like him. He doesn’t look as good as the Third Young Master, and he willingly returns under the identity of an adopted son after lying dormant for so long. He’s definitely not simple."

Yang Jingwei frowned, advising, "The old man obviously favors the adopted son more. Only what’s beneficial to oneself in this world is useful. What’s the value of a face?"

Bai Ruoshu discontentedly replied, "A face? Mom, surely you don’t think the Third Young Master only has his looks? He looked at Gong Yao just now without any concern, don’t you find it strange?"

Yang Jingwei hesitated.

"Are you saying he knows?"

"Mom, I refuse to believe the Third Young Master would lose to an adopted son. So I’m determined to be the Third Madam. Please quickly figure out a way to get back to the old man." Bai Ruoshu urged.

Yang Jingwei had seen Gong Chen and felt he was not someone to underestimate.

However, Gong Yao, with the old man’s support, is an uncertain future.

"Ruoshu, let’s wait and see, so as not to offend both sides."

Upon hearing this.

Bai Ruoshu felt her mother had a point. Her desire to marry Gong Chen required the old man’s approval.

If she refused now, it would be to disrespect the old man.

Her previous efforts would be for naught.

So she had to find a reasonable excuse.

As she pondered, Bai Ruoshu revealed a smile.

"Mom, what if Gong Yao rejects me himself?"

"You mean... Lin Zhiyi?" Yang Jingwei looked at her.

Bai Ruoshu chuckled and nodded.

Yang Jingwei frowned, "No, today the Second Young Master intervened for her, apparently per the Third Young Master’s intentions. You’ve already been slighted, and causing more trouble could affect your reputation. Calm down for a few days."

Bai Ruoshu was somewhat dissatisfied, but she could not refute.

She could only say, "Alright, let’s go out. The fragrance in here is too unpleasant; it’s clung to me."

"No worries, I brought perfume, I’ll spray some on you."

"Okay."

Bai Ruoshu took the perfume Yang Jingwei handed over, sprayed it twice, and took a deep breath.

"Mom, your specially made orchid fragrance is unique, it smells so good."

"If you like it, keep it."

Yang Jingwei affectionately patted Bai Ruoshu’s hand.

The mother and daughter left the restroom, their gloom dispelled, chatting and laughing.

...

On the other side.

When Lin Zhiyi and Liu He returned to the banquet hall, Liu He’s high-heeled shoe twisted, and she accidentally bumped into a guest who was about to leave.

"Sorry." Lin Zhiyi supported Liu He and quickly apologized.

"It’s fine."

The man’s voice was deep, carrying a trace of seriousness.

Lin Zhiyi slowly looked up, seeing a well-featured middle-aged man.

And he was staring right at her.

Liu He recognized the man, and promptly said, "President Bai, sorry."

President Bai?
