Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 952

Chapter 952: Chapter 952: From Now On, It’s My Turn

Lin Zhiyi watched Gong Chen’s car disappear and turned to walk into the studio.

An assistant quickly came up.

"Boss, Second Madam is here."

"My mom?"

Lin Zhiyi frowned slightly and quickly walked into the office.

Liu He sat on the sofa holding a sleeping child.

When she saw Lin Zhiyi arrive, she smiled slightly and placed the child on the sofa blanket.

Then used a pillow to shield.

Lin Zhiyi lowered her voice and said, "Mom, why did you suddenly come?"

Liu He got up and pulled Lin Zhiyi to sit on the chair by the window.

"Several madams came to me asking about you, saying you haven’t been meeting clients recently. I’m a bit worried, is something wrong?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi smiled reassuringly.

"Mom, it seems you’re getting along well with those madams recently."

"Well, people always need to grow. I’ve finally understood that instead of just enduring things, you can firmly stand up, and those people won’t dare to cause trouble."

While speaking, Liu He straightened her back.

Lin Zhiyi watched her transformation, and her unsettled heart found calm.

Liu He returned to herself: "How come we’re talking about me? I’m asking about you. You’re doing so well now, why aren’t you meeting clients?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lin Zhiyi lowered her head and explained: "I’m fine, just want to take a break."

Liu He pursed her lips briefly and held Lin Zhiyi’s hand tightly.

"Zhiyi, do you already know everything?"

"Mom..." Lin Zhiyi hesitated to speak.

"Don’t worry, mom understands your intentions. Since you became sensible, I haven’t had to worry about you, but I’ve been the one who’s always confused. When I saw you with Lao San back then, I was selfish, thinking that if you married him, his ability would protect you for a lifetime, and I, as a useless mom, could be at ease."

Liu He let out a bitter smile, her eyes slightly red.

She continued: "I thought now that I could speak up, I could protect you, but who knew I would still drag you down, so I’ve figured it out, I plan..."

Lin Zhiyi reversed her grip on her hand, interrupting, "Mom, I just need you to be my mom, but soon I might not be able to help you anymore."

"Zhiyi, mom knows you’ve been thinking differently." Liu He choked and shook her head, "You’re still young, how can you give up such a great opportunity?"

"Mom, you’ve borne the burden of a bad reputation for me half your life, and the remaining time should be for yourself to live. Moreover, you’re more suited to this circle than I am, having experienced so much—having you all accompany me is more than enough."

Lin Zhiyi snuggled into Liu He’s embrace, just like when she was a child.

Liu He stroked her head and smoothed her hair.

"Zhiyi, mom is here."

"Hmm."

Lin Zhiyi felt a sourness in her nose.

In a previous life, she and Liu He never got to say a proper goodbye.

Now hearing these words again, she feels everything is worthwhile.

Whether it’s love or family ties.

Now she is truly happy.

Moments later, Liu He asked, "Zhiyi, does Lao San know your decision?"

"I haven’t told him, I plan to discuss it after handling studio matters; otherwise, he definitely won’t agree." Lin Zhiyi added, "Mom, don’t tell uncle either."

Liu He sighed.

"Reach out to mom if there’s anything."

"Okay, mom."

Lin Zhiyi suddenly felt supported again.

Liu He thought for a moment, continued, "But recently your uncle’s particularly busy, saying Lao San’s injury gave him lots of work."

Lin Zhiyi closed her eyes and hummed.

The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"A lot of work?"

"Yes, your uncle’s so busy he’s moved into Lao San’s office," Liu He said.

"If worried, I can go back to the previous department..."

Gong Chen immediately interrupted: "Second Brother, I’m serious, no one said anything, this is my decision."

"Lao San, what are you doing?" Gong Shiyan frowned.

"Second Brother, before I protected the Gong Family and Jiang Family, but couldn’t protect my own wife and daughter, now the situation is set, I can’t let Zhiyi and Xingxing keep waiting for me."

Gong Chen’s voice was low, full of warmth.

Gong Shiyan said nothing more.

Gong Chen appeared calm: "Liu He and Zhiyi are mother and daughter, this cannot change, once our marriage is public, some will use this to make issues."

"I’ll let Xiao He be low-key, for Zhiyi and Xingxing, she’d surely be willing," Gong Shiyan retorted.

"Second Brother, are you willing?" Gong Chen countered.

"I..."

Gong Shiyan couldn’t continue.

In private, he definitely wasn’t willing.

Liu He was his openly married wife, and their child was born with careful tenderness.

Lin Zhiyi was also a stepdaughter he watched grow up.

Why must they live in shadow?

He couldn’t bear their grievances.

Besides, they’ve suffered enough grievances before now.

Gong Chen wasn’t surprised by Gong Shiyan’s reaction.

"Second Brother, I also am unwilling, back then you aided me to become the Gong Family successor, bearing grievances and being slighted, I could only watch helplessly as the woman I liked was bullied for family glory."

"Zhiyi said it best, what happened did happen, any compensation afterward is meaningless."

"To complete you, to complete me, to complete the Gong Family, they’ve been enduring, sacrificing, waiting all along."

"Now, it’s my turn."

Saying this, Gong Chen again pushed the ring toward Gong Shiyan.
