Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Wedding as Usual

"What evidence?" Qin Shuang asked eagerly.

Shen Yan immediately opened the recording on her phone, and the display showed the time was last Christmas.

At that time, Lin Zhiyi and Shen Yan were particularly close and talked about everything.

Suddenly, Lin Zhiyi thought of something and her face turned so pale it was almost translucent, even her clenched fists trembled.

In the past, Shen Yan had always stayed by Song Wanqiu’s side, how could it be just by acting pitiful?

She also secretly gathered leverage.

The recording started.

"Zhiyi, you’re staring at the fireworks, aren’t you secretly making a wish?"

"No," Lin Zhiyi’s voice with a nasal tone, seemingly embarrassed at having her thoughts exposed.

"Still denying it? Your face is all red, are you thinking about Third Young Master again?"

"Shh! Be careful, someone might hear! He’s already with someone else."

"It’s just between us, just chatting, what were you thinking about just now?"

Shen Yan kept pestering, and Lin Zhiyi hesitated for a moment before finally speaking with a smile.

"I didn’t make a wish; I was just daydreaming about a family of three I saw lining up in front."

"Oh~ you were secretly thinking of marrying Third Young Master! And even having a family of three! So, do you want a daughter or a son?"

Lin Zhiyi didn’t argue, what girl hasn’t fantasized about marrying the one she loves and having a happy life forever?

She chuckled lightly, "A daughter."

The recording abruptly stopped.

Lin Zhiyi bit her nearly bloodless lips, standing still in a daze.

Daughter.

She had one before.

When she gave birth to Xingxing, she really thought her dream had come true.

Turns out it was just a nightmare.

At this moment, she glanced at Gong Chen’s deeply furrowed brow and slowly lowered her eyelids.

She didn’t explain because even if she told Gong Chen that she had been drunk at the time, he wouldn’t believe her.

He had never believed her concerning the matter with Song Wanqiu.

Shen Yan shouted loudly, "You all heard it, Lin Zhiyi has always wanted to have a daughter for Third Young Master. Now Miss Song is pregnant, and she is jealous!"

A shadow fell in front of Lin Zhiyi’s eyes, a man looking down at her from above with a distant expression, as if separated by a thin layer of frost.

"Is the recording true?"

"..."

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t deny it, because she didn’t know what else Shen Yan had up her sleeve.

Her silence became her admission.

Old Mr. Gong said without any politeness, "Shameless!"

Qin Shuang suddenly rushed over, tearing at Lin Zhiyi, "You are so evil!"

This was nothing compared to the vile and ugly curses Qin Shuang and Song Wanqiu usually had for Lin Zhiyi in private.

She felt nothing.

But facing Gong Chen’s cold gaze, her body in the midst of the struggle felt as if it was shackled, unable to resist.

Eventually it was Liu He who, feeling sorry for her, disregarded Old Mr. Gong’s stern look and went ahead to pull Qin Shuang away.

"Let go!"

As they struggled, Liu He’s body seemed to trip over something and she fell directly to the ground.

The package she originally had for Lin Zhiyi also fell out.

The poorly taped box burst open upon hitting the ground.

A box of medicine fell out.

Neither Lin Zhiyi nor Liu He saw it clearly, but Qin Shuang grabbed it.

She stared at the medicine box: "Mifepristone, used for... medical abortion! Ah! For abortion!"

She threw the medicine box away in horror.

And it just so happened to land at Old Mr. Gong’s feet.

A butler by his side picked up the medicine box and handed it to him.

Old Mr. Gong’s face changed drastically after seeing it clearly, "You’re not pregnant, what are you doing with this? You’ve been planning to harm Wanqiu’s child all along!"

Gong Chen also glanced at Chen Jin, who slightly nodded, having already sent the message. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

Chen Jin quickly approached to take Lin Zhiyi away, but the old man loudly stopped him.

"Hold on! Have I said she’s all clear? Even if pushing and shoving isn’t clear cut, this medicine enough proves she had premeditated harm, and the person to take her away should not be Chen Jin, but the police."

Lin Zhiyi paused her breathing, wiping the blood stains from her eyes with difficulty, looking at Old Mr. Gong.

Those sharp eyes constantly told her that he wouldn’t be at peace until he had destroyed her.

Gong Chen, expressionless, nodded, "That’s better."

"But better have evidence that can convict, otherwise even if she’s detained, it would just be for a few days, meaningless."

"It would only make Wanqiu bear the injustice of having wronged someone, which she doesn’t like."

Lin Zhiyi paused, turning her impending explanation into an exceptionally arduous task, bitterness rising from her throat, leaving her speechless.

Just like that, she was condemned to death.

As the words fell, the butler returned.

He whispered into the elder’s ear, "No record."

Old Mr. Gong’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, glaring at Lin Zhiyi.

"Chen Jin, take her away."

Gong Chen’s voice was not loud, but his tone was indisputable, standing firm even against the elder.

Lin Zhiyi was led away by Chen Jin like a lost soul, not even turning back as she passed by Gong Chen.

Not even a glance.

No resentment, no grievance, no complaint, no defiance... nothing.

Except for the bloodstains on the floor, she seemed as if she had never been there.

Watching her back, Gong Chen couldn’t help but clench his fist as if trying to grasp something, but catching nothing.

Soon, Song Wanqiu was returned to the ward.

Upon waking, the first thing she did was to throw herself into Gong Chen’s arms crying.

"Third Young Master, I’m sorry, I failed to protect our child."

"It’s all right."

"Third Young Master, without our child, how can I still hope to marry you?" She looked at Gong Chen with tearful eyes.

Gong Chen looked down, his eyes deep and inscrutable, and said softly, "The wedding will proceed as planned."
