Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Even My Woman Can’t Overcome

Lin Zhiyi finished speaking with the reporters and glanced at Liao Yi on the ground.

Liao Yi, crying, helped the person next to him leave, shouting grievances.

Pretending quite well.

After going upstairs, Lin Zhiyi sat in front of the desk, staring intently at the phone on the table.

Chen Jin handed over a cup of coffee: "Miss Lin, you’ve done very well, don’t be too nervous."

Lin Zhiyi held the coffee cup and gave a bitter smile.

"I’m not as smart as you guys, I can only resort to this kind of shameless method."

"If he’s around, he’d definitely scold me for being reckless."

Chen Jin, afraid she would overthink, comforted her: "How could he bear to scold you? In the past, when he pressured you, he felt even worse than you inside. Even if you enraged him half to death, he would forget the pain once the scar healed."

Lin Zhiyi sipped her coffee, the bitterness lingering in her mouth.

Gong Chen always said she only knew how to upset him.

She didn’t want to upset him now, but she couldn’t find him...

At this moment, the phone on the table rang.

Lin Zhiyi thought it was Zhou Zhao. She picked up the phone and her heart sank.

It was Old Mr. Gong.

As soon as the call connected, Old Mr. Gong’s angry voice came through.

"Lin Zhiyi! Are you trying to ruin the Gong Family!"

Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath and forced a calm smile.

"Old Mr. Gong, how can this be called ruining? I’m helping Gong Yao prove his innocence, he can’t even swallow the condolence money of a deceased person, right?"

"You..." Although Old Mr. Gong was angry, he quickly calmed down, coldly scoffing, "Lin Zhiyi, it’s useless, you will never be able to fight against me."

Lin Zhiyi paused, quickly ending the call.

"Take care of yourself, Old Mr. Gong, I have other matters, goodbye."

As she put down the phone, her hand trembled, accidentally knocking over the coffee cup, spilling it over the white paper like blood spreading.

A sudden unease gripped her, an ominous premonition.

Unaware of how much time had passed, Zhou Zhao returned.

Lin Zhiyi quickly rushed to him: "How is it? Did Gong Yao go to find Third Young Master?"

Zhou Zhao looked at her and shook his head helplessly.

"No, he went to find his mother, the two talked for a long time in the garden, without revealing any details, nor did I find any trace of Third Young Master. Also, those sent out reported that Old Mr. Gong’s properties showed no signs of Gong Yao’s visit."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi’s body went weak, and she had to grasp the table to steady herself.

She had failed.

Now Gong Yao would be even more cautious of her, mishandling it might endanger Gong Chen further.

Lin Zhiyi’s vision darkened, and she powerlessly knocked over the bag on the table.

Chen Jin came forward to support her: "Miss Lin..."

Before she could finish, an electronic beep sounded from the ground.

Lin Zhiyi squatted down and discovered that Xingxing’s other phone watch was in her bag. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Suddenly, she remembered Xingxing hugged her in the airport restroom while she was explaining why she stayed behind.

"Mom, I’m listening to you, you must be careful."

Xingxing must have been worried about her and stuffed the other phone watch into her bag.

Looking at the voice call on the display.

It felt as if a voice inside urged her to pick up the call quickly.

She pressed the call button, and to her surprise, Liu He’s voice came through.

"Xingxing."

"Mom, it’s me." Lin Zhiyi sat on the ground in despair.

"Zhiyi? Xingxing’s watch is with you?"

"Mm."

Lin Zhiyi lacked the strength to explain much.

Liu He detected her abnormality: "I heard from your uncle that you’re at the Gong Group, is Gong Yao giving you trouble? This mother and son really have no shame, living off the money Lao San earned for the Gong Family, even living in Lao San’s ranch. How can they have the nerve to plot against Lao San?"

Listening intermittently, Lin Zhiyi pushed herself up and happened to kick a small booklet that fell out of her bag.

A kindergarten brochure.

When was it sneaked into her bag?

Her eyes lingered on the cover of the booklet, where a cute baby was riding a little pony.
