Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 922

Chapter 922: Chapter 922: He Found Out

Shirley’s words are simply misleading!

Many netizens even think that the injury on her face was caused by someone Lin Zhiyi hired to hit her.

And those words, as if she had no choice.

Every sentence was indirectly pointing at Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath; she knew very well that responding now would be tantamount to admitting it.

So she decided to lay low.

However, Shirley gained a lot of sympathy from this video.

The plagiarism incident ended just like that, with no real impact.

It was ultimately dismissed as a coincidence.

But Lin Zhiyi knew that other matters hadn’t ended.

She increasingly suspected the relationship between Xia Wan and Shirley.

After hanging up her assistant’s call, she was surprised to see a call from Gong Chen.

Gong Chen glanced at it: "It’s from Second Brother, probably work-related."

After answering, who knows what Gong Shiyan said.

Gong Chen just replied with a hum: "I’ll be there tonight."

Seeing him hang up the call, Lin Zhiyi asked, "What happened?"

"Second Brother said there’s a social event tonight, and he needs us to attend together."

"Okay." Lin Zhiyi nodded.

"Xia Wan will be there too," Gong Chen added.

Lin Zhiyi looked at him in surprise, "She..."

"Just a chance to meet her."

"Alright then..." Lin Zhiyi was a bit worried, "Be careful."

"Don’t worry."

...

Restaurant.

After getting out of the car, Gong Shiyan approached Gong Chen.

He handed over a piece of paper with a phone number on it.

"Go to Lan City and find this person. He’s my classmate and has been in Lan City for many years, knows the situation there better than you."

"Got it. So what’s going on today? Suddenly having a dinner event?" Gong Chen put away the paper and asked.

Gong Shiyan whispered, "One of them knows Xia Wan and wants to introduce her. I thought since you’re investigating her, I agreed for her to come."

"Let’s go in and see."

Gong Chen and Gong Shiyan entered the private room together.

Xia Wan stood up and smiled, "Second Young Master, Third Young Master."

Gong Chen nodded, "Please sit."

Once seated, everyone chatted while eating.

Xia Wan was friendly with the people around her, showing no intention of talking with Gong Chen.

Gong Shiyan leaned toward Gong Chen, "I thought she’d approach you, otherwise why have someone introduce her?"

Gong Chen held his glass, "Ignore her."

He had already guessed Xia Wan’s intention.

Elsewhere.

Holding her glass, Xia Wan glanced in Gong Chen’s direction out of the corner of her eye.

Her appearance today was meant to provoke Gong Chen’s suspicion.

However, she didn’t expect Gong Chen to remain so calm, completely ignoring her.

Xia Wan went to great lengths to be at this table, not just for a drink.

After some thought, she looked up at Gong Chen, deciding to make the first move.

"Third Young Master, nice to see you again. How is Miss Lin?"

Gong Chen’s eyes were dark as he scrutinized Xia Wan.

"Interesting, my Second Brother is right here, and you’re the first to ask me about Lin Zhiyi in front of him. Do you think we’re that close?"

He and Lin Zhiyi had kept things low-key for Xingxing to live in a safe environment.

Their relationship wasn’t public.

Xia Wan smiled, "The day at the cemetery, I saw Lin Zhiyi with her daughter and you paying respects together. I thought you were..."

"Hmm, I forgot, my apologies," Gong Chen replied indifferently.

Yet those dark eyes were fathomless, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Xia Wan shook her head, "No worries. But why didn’t Miss Lin come today? I saw the news online, and I knew she must be innocent."

"She doesn’t like social events," Gong Chen stated calmly.

"I see, I thought she might come," Xia Wan seemed a bit disappointed.

"You seem very interested in Lin Zhiyi," Gong Chen remarked.
