Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 542

Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Gong Chen Is Dead

After Bai Ruoshu and Gong Yao reached a consensus, all conversations became smoother.

The end was near.

Yang Jingwei deliberately said, "Ruoshu, accompany Fourth Master for a good tour around Jing City tomorrow."

Bai Ruoshu responded with a hum, "I happen to have some places I want to visit too, I wonder if Fourth Master would oblige."

Before Gong Yao could speak, Fu Xiuzhu pretended to speak casually.

"Tomorrow, Gong Yao has a company meeting, Old Mr. Gong will also be there, he’s been quite busy lately, it might need to be postponed."

"Work is important." Yang Jingwei smiled, understanding her implication.

With Old Mr. Gong stepping in, it seems the Gong Group is indeed going to change.

Thinking about it, Yang Jingwei displayed a hesitant expression. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Fu Xiuzhu glanced at the maids in the hall, and they immediately retreated, closing the door behind them.

"Mrs. Bai, feel free to speak directly."

"I wonder if Madam has heard the name Lin Zhiyi." Yang Jingwei asked.

Fu Xiuzhu pretended to hesitate, "Not familiar, but I know she’s Second Young Master’s stepdaughter."

She didn’t reveal too much.

Hearing the familiar name, Gong Yao slightly raised his gaze, waiting for Yang Jingwei to continue.

Yang Jingwei calmly said, "Her mother Liu He is already pregnant. Second Young Master is now the vice president of the Gong Group..."

Bai Ruoshu cooperatively interrupted, "Mom, Second Young Master isn’t a clueless person."

Yang Jingwei blurted out, "Then what about Liu He? What about Lin Zhiyi? With Third Young Master having issues, can they really be content?"

"Mrs. Bai, be mindful of your words." Fu Xiuzhu frowned.

Yang Jingwei covered her mouth, "Sorry, I misspoke, then we won’t bother you further."

"Madam, Fourth Master, goodbye."

Bai Ruoshu stood up, slightly nodding, and followed Yang Jingwei out.

Fu Xiuzhu withdrew her gaze, coldly said, "This Mrs. Bai is hiding quite a bit, what do you think of what she said?"

Gong Yao said sternly, "She seems to harbor resentment towards Second Madam and her daughter, saying so much is just an attempt to have us eliminate Second Madam and Lin Zhiyi. Liu He is just a fool, I can’t be bothered with this mess."

"That may be true, but the child in her belly cannot be ignored. The Eldest died, Gong Yan was banished abroad, Liu He was originally infertile, the Second House is without heirs, we only need to get rid of Third Young Master, now her child is the Gong Family’s eldest grandson."

"We don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl." Gong Yao retorted.

Fu Xiuzhu was silent for a moment, her eyes coldly fixed on Gong Yao.

"If it weren’t for an old vixen struggling to give birth to Gong Chen, your dad would have agreed to bring you back to the Gong Family as soon as you were born, you’d be the Third Young Master, and there would be no issue with Gong Chen! Why would we need to live under aliases abroad for decades? Are you telling me now that you’re soft-hearted? Because of Lin Zhiyi? Indeed, such a vixen!"

"Mom..."

Fu Xiuzhu got up, casting him a sidelong glance, "You can have her, just don’t ruin your father’s grand plans! And don’t let your father know!"

"Hmm."

Gong Yao’s mind conjured up the face of Lin Zhiyi, and he smirked.

"Return and prepare for tomorrow’s conference, there must be no mistakes." Fu Xiuzhu instructed.

"Mom, don’t worry, Gong Chen is in our hands, the evidence is also with us, he can’t come back."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiuzhu lifted her gaze to look upstairs, finally at ease.

...

The following day, Gong Group conference.

The driver’s cancer-related vendetta against wealth became a trending topic.

Everyone was cursing a dead man.

There were also some rational analyses in the comments.

"Driver held a grudge against the wealthy, why is this adopted son unscathed?"

"Even if Third Young Master risked his life to save him, there was still Third Young Master’s assistant in the car. How could the three of them be outmatched by a terminal cancer patient?"

But these doubts were either deleted or drowned out.

The person behind controlled the direction of all rumors.

Meanwhile, Gong Yao remained perfectly hidden.

He even entered the Gong Group’s internal conference as Old Mr. Gong’s adopted son.

The enormous meeting room, long rectangular redwood table, high-backed chairs, understated luxury, yet a touch of solemnity.

In the past, Gong Chen sat in the foremost position.

Today, it was vacated, the hall full of Gong Family members, quietly conversing, each with their own thoughts.

Seeing Old Mr. Gong entering with people, everyone stood up.

"Sit down."
