Gong Chen followed him out of the study, and Chen Jin came up.
"The plane ticket is already booked, no one will notice."
"Pack your things."
"Then Miss Lin..."
He glanced at Chen Jin, who stopped speaking.
What use is it to say so much to Lin Zhiyi?
Just a high school student waiting to be examined.
Familiar conversation, Gong Chen just stood by and watched him make all the decisions.
But times have changed, and his mindset is very different now.
But Gong Chen did not regret the unannounced departure.
Lin Zhiyi should not have been caught in his conflicts at such a naive age.
When he left, Lin Zhiyi secretly saw him off, which he knew.
After they parted.
The two still had contact in private, but due to the time difference, Lin Zhiyi would only cautiously ask a few questions each time and then end the conversation.
He would repeatedly check his phone.
He really wanted to ask what she was doing, but he couldn’t give her too much hope.
He couldn’t give her anything now.
Time passed quickly, as he hurriedly finished his remaining studies and swiftly seized the company’s power.
Finally, it was almost New Year.
He proactively told Lin Zhiyi that he would return early to celebrate the New Year with her.
His friends saw him constantly checking his phone and asked if he was in love.
"Not yet," he smiled.
"What do you mean ’not yet’? That means you have someone you like? Who is it? Is it the woman you wait for late at night?"
He did not rebut.
"Chen, with your advantages, why not be with her directly?"
He just slowly replied, "It’s illegal."
His classmates did not understand.
After the New Year, Lin Zhiyi entered university and could date.
But reality gave Gong Chen a severe blow.
He had a car accident and awoke to Song Wanqiu by his bedside.
"Third Young Master, don’t move, your injuries are serious, the doctor says you need to rest quietly."
"Oh, the Gong Family called, worried about your accident I just told them your situation, they asked about the cause of your car accident."
Upon hearing this, Gong Chen’s expression changed.
"How did you answer?"
"I, I just truthfully told them the cause according to the investigation here, said you were in a rush to the airport to return and got hit by a drunk driver."
Song Wanqiu looked at Gong Chen, thinking her gaze was very pure.
In fact, Gong Chen had already seen through her intentions.
"Who are you?"
"Third Young Master, my name is Song Wanqiu."
"What do you want?" Gong Chen asked sharply.
"I, I want nothing," Song Wanqiu said, lowering her gaze to conceal her expression.
"I only ask once."
"I like you, actually I’ve been paying attention to you for a long time. We’ve met at a banquet before." Song Wanqiu showed a shy expression.
Gong Chen responded with an "Mm," "Wait for me to return."
No matter whether Song Wanqiu had deliberately told the Gong Family that he was in a rush to return and got into a car accident.
Now the Gong Family knew, the old man would certainly be suspicious.
In past years, when he studied abroad, even during New Year, he seldom returned.
So he needed someone to act as his eye shielding technique.
He also knew what Song Wanqiu wanted, considering it a favor repaid.
After recovering and returning to the country, he realized his concern was justified.
The old man no longer delegated power, even the inheritance meant for his mother was only given halfway.
The old man had always been testing him.
Originally, the old man favored his eldest brother Gong Shize, who unexpectedly perished in a car accident.
And Second Brother would have nothing if he insisted on marrying Liu He.
The old man would absolutely not allow him to make the same mistake again.
A person like the old man would surely eliminate him completely.
Fortunately, with Song Wanqiu, the old man was not so concerned about Lin Zhiyi anymore.
Lin Zhiyi was quiet, had low presence in the Gong Family, and her university life was considered smooth.
Gong Chen also used these years to firmly grip power in his hands.
But here life seemed like another parallel world.
Since that night, because of Lin Zhiyi’s different choice, everything changed.
In this world, Lin Zhiyi married him without happiness.
The daughter he anticipated was not happy either.
Until Lin Zhiyi was pregnant again, Gong Chen watched her body grow emaciated, and her face couldn’t hide its pallor.
He was truly weary.
Gong Chen watched himself avoid Lin Zhiyi and dialed Uncle Jiang’s phone.
"Uncle, I’m sorry, I don’t want to continue, the funds I have are enough for the Jiang Family to have a stable footing in Jing City, most of the enterprises are steadily rising now."
"Gong Chen, what do you mean? You were just a little bit away from success."
"Zhiyi is pregnant again, her body is too weak, the old man is watching closely, I can’t take risks anymore, nor do I want to use her to take risks."
"Gong Chen, can’t you consider Xiao Xi and Siyi? They are so young, your aunt and I are getting old..."
"Uncle, I am a husband, and a father too."
"Alright."
After settling matters, Gong Chen let out a sigh of relief.
But just as he turned around to order food for Lin Zhiyi, she was taken away.
Chen Jin approached and said, "Third Young Master, it was the First Young Master who took away Third Madam, and the old man already knows you want to retire."
Unlike Gong Chen’s memory in this life, this space only found a broken Lin Zhiyi and a child turned into a pool of blood.
He held Lin Zhiyi, unable to stop the tears falling from his scarlet eyes.
He stormed into the old man’s study room.
"Why?"
"Not pretending anymore? Aren’t you unconcerned about her?" the old man said expressionlessly.
"Why? Why!"
He lost control.
But the old man remained indifferent.
"You should know why, the fact that she lived until now is already merciful! I detest her! Hate her! It’s because you kept approaching her, that she became like this!"
The old man clicked on the computer beside him, Lin Zhiyi’s screams mixed with a man’s lewd laughter.
"Third Young Master, save me! Save me..."
"Stop! Stop!" Gong Chen clenched his fists.
"Gong Chen, Song Wanqiu returned with your son, I want you to acknowledge the child, or this video..."
