Liu He talked until the end, her mood wasn’t good, and she burst into tears in Gong Shiyan’s arms.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t dare to ask any further.
"Mom, don’t worry too much, everything will pass."
"Let’s go out first," Gong Chen stood up and said.
Lin Zhiyi nodded and followed Gong Chen out of the room.
Inside the room.
Gong Shiyan patted Liu He’s back and said softly, "I think Lao San means to let Zhiyi make her own choice."
"No, that won’t do." Liu He shook her head vigorously, "Zhiyi and Xingxing will definitely face more malice from others, Wei Xiaoyun is crazy, she’s imprisoned herself, but she wants me and Zhiyi to remain unsettled."
"Xiao He, you’re too concerned about her. Actually, she’s no longer related to you. She’s Yang Jingwei, not Wei Xiaoyun."
Upon hearing this.
Liu He gradually calmed down. She bit her lip for a while before finally saying, "Hmm."
But there was a hint of emotion in her eyes that others couldn’t understand.
...
Downstairs.
Lin Zhiyi looked up.
"It seems like the online issue needs to be resolved quickly."
"So you’re saying you already have an idea?" Gong Chen looked at her.
Lin Zhiyi turned her head and smiled.
"You’re now prioritizing my opinion in everything. I’m a bit unaccustomed."
"It’s natural for a husband to follow his wife," Gong Chen said in a calm tone.
Lin Zhiyi’s expression eased a bit.
"I do have some ideas. Yang Jingwei has been caught yet still stirs up trouble. It looks like she’s making a desperate attempt. If she just wants to drag us mother and daughter down, it’s not her usual style."
"Negotiation."
Gong Chen pinpointed Yang Jingwei’s intention accurately.
"Yes, she will seek us out, but right now the fire isn’t too big," Lin Zhiyi said.
"You want to escalate the situation? Zhiyi, if not handled well, it might be hard to retreat. Now you’re facing not just Yang Jingwei, but also that scoundrel Lin Fan."
Gong Chen was worried that Lin Zhiyi might be overwhelmed facing both Yang Jingwei and Lin Fan.
However, Lin Zhiyi was more resilient than he had imagined.
She looked seriously at Gong Chen.
"Our life can’t rely on you alone to protect, I can do it too, I’m ready."
Gong Chen curved his lips, "Alright."
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen quickly confirmed Yang Jingwei’s intention.
Gong Chen soon received a call from Captain Xing.
"Yang Jingwei’s lawyer says she wants to meet you."
Lin Zhiyi was slightly stunned, "She wants to negotiate with you? She’s not your match at all, why is she looking for you?"
"I’ll go see her."
"Hmm."
There’s no other choice at the moment.
After sending Gong Chen away, Lin Zhiyi felt inexplicably anxious.
Until it was almost time.
Lin Zhiyi called Liao Yi, asking her to pick up Xingxing.
For now, it seemed inconvenient for her to show up in crowded places.
Liao Yi immediately agreed.
Lin Zhiyi felt relieved and quietly waited for news.
Unexpectedly, instead of news, an unexpected visitor came.
...
Police station.
Captain Xing asked, "What’s going on?"
"She’s not negotiating, she’s deliberately diverting me. I have to find Zhiyi, keep an eye on her! And Lin Fan!"
Gong Chen quickly left the police station.
But he was one step late.
...
Inside the villa.
Gong Shiyan was injected by a betrayed bodyguard, feeling somewhat confused.
However, he still summoned the strength to protect Liu He.
He looked at the man sitting above, his eyes full of anger.
"Why!"
"Why? Do you dare ask me why? You brothers intended to kick me out of the game, right? Fine, since this family’s future belongs to you two, but not to them mother and daughter! Before that, I must clear out the outsiders!"
The one speaking was Old Mr. Gong.
"With so many people around, should I attack the child at the party? Besides, I accept the child, never said I’d accept you. The child will stay, as a memorial to Lao Er, later find a matching family for the child, for her better future." The old man planned.
Upon hearing this, Liu He collapsed directly to the ground.
It turns out everything was just an illusion.
Lin Zhiyi held Liu He and countered, "Mom gave birth to the child, what right do you have?"
"Lin Zhiyi, I’ll handle them first, then you! Do you think you can escape? The biggest mistake of this family is you!" The old man glared at Lin Zhiyi, enraged.
His eyes were as disdainful as ever, even filled with hatred.
Lin Zhiyi paused.
The old man laughed, "You want to know why I do this? I’ll tell you, you wish to elevate your mother’s status through the child, but without the child, what can you do? Your mother bore only this one child in her life, she must choose between the child and wealth!"
"What do you mean?"
Lin Zhiyi felt a sudden panic.
