Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448: Chapter 448: They Are Not the Real Target

Mentioning maintenance.

Many wealthy wives have realized something and their gazes toward Liu He have become meaningful.

Including those who despise yet envy Liu He.

If Liu He and Gong Shiyan remain marginalized for life, they’d just watch it as a joke.

But when Gong Shiyan became Vice President of the Gong Group, he completely transformed.

He is skillful, capable, and deeply affectionate with Liu He.

This is not the outcome everyone wanted to see.

Someone followed Wen Qing’s words and asked, "President Wen, don’t keep us guessing, tell us what kind of maintenance Second Madam has done?"

Wen Qing pretended to be troubled, "Actually, I’m not quite sure, why don’t you ask Second Madam yourself? I guess it’s definitely a good project, otherwise, why would Second Madam go to the hospital every few days and always see the same doctor?"

Immediately, someone said maliciously, "It seems this doctor has good skills, worthy of Second Madam’s favor."

Others covered their mouths and laughed.

Liu He’s face was ashen, and she pressed the handkerchief tightly under her nose.

Gong Shiyan didn’t question Liu He, instead he showed concern, "Why do you look so unwell? Are you uncomfortable?"

Liu He quickly shook her head, "It’s nothing, let’s go somewhere else."

"Hmm."

Gong Shiyan ignored the gazes of others, supporting Liu He to leave.

Seeing him being so considerate, Wen Qing’s eyes under her delicate makeup twinkled with jealousy.

She interrupted, "Second Madam, why are you leaving? Everyone is waiting for you to introduce it, or is it that you can’t say?"

Others echoed, "Second Madam, why are you dodging?"

Gong Shiyan seemed to notice, "Xiao He, what’s going on?"

Liu He lowered her head and said nothing.

Lin Zhiyi stepped forward, blocking Liu He and asked back, "President Wen, why do you insist on knowing why my mom went to the hospital? Of course, my mom goes to the hospital for medical reasons, now doctors are required to protect patient privacy, why is it that when it comes to you, it becomes something you can openly discuss? Why not start by asking the ladies why they went for medical reasons last time?"

Others’ faces turned pale, no one responded, all looking silently at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing sneered, "It’s been over three years we haven’t seen, Lin Zhiyi is quite articulate, but we were just having friendly women’s discussions, how come from you it seems we’re being aggressive? Or do you know what your mother actually did at the hospital?"

"President Wen, I said my mom went to the hospital just for medical reasons, if you insist on saying otherwise, I can’t help you, but everyone should be clear about what they say as adults." Lin Zhiyi retorted.

"Enough!"

Old Mr. Gong gave Lin Zhiyi a sideways glance.

"Don’t forget your identity, you’re not here to stir trouble! You’ve been out for over three years and haven’t improved at all."

Lin Zhiyi raised her eyes to meet Old Mr. Gong’s gaze, looking back intently.

Trying to humiliate her in public again?

But she had long since severed ties with them.

Seeing her so bold, Old Mr. Gong couldn’t help but be stunned, his eyes growing angrier. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

But Lin Zhiyi didn’t give him a chance to act, she smiled lightly and looked at Mr. Sang beside her.

"Mr. Sang, look at this, you didn’t remind me, now I got chastised by Old Mr. Gong for not improving in the Sang Family, one might even think Old Mr. Gong is talking about the Sang Family."

"You..." Old Mr. Gong glared at Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi pretended not to see, "Old Mr. Gong, don’t worry, I didn’t think much of it, otherwise the Gong Family’s hospitality would be quite poor, wouldn’t it?"

Old Mr. Gong’s face became completely dark.

Suddenly, the surroundings quieted down, everyone cleared the path.

A tall figure slowly approached, his voice stern, "The Gong Family doesn’t treat any guest differently nor does it condone any guest."

Gong Shiyan didn’t move, solemnly said, "Xiao He wouldn’t do such things."

"Evidence is clear! You keep protecting this mother-daughter pair, yet they don’t care about you at all. Now you are Vice President of the Gong Group, your every action represents the Gong Group. Do you let them bring disgrace upon you, upon the Gong Family? I command you to come here!"

Old Mr. Gong’s voice was still resonant, echoing in the hall.

The surrounding guests were instantly frozen, quietly watching them.

Gong Shiyan remained unmoved.

"Good, very good!" Old Mr. Gong’s chest heaved with anger, then he pointed at Gong Shiyan, "Since you insist on protecting Liu He, it means you can’t distinguish right from wrong, you are indecisive, unfit for the position of Vice President of the Gong Group."

"Choose between Liu He or your position, consider well."

The party hall fell silent, a pin could be heard dropping.

Lin Zhiyi’s breath hitched, finally understanding who was the true target of today’s setup.

She and Liu He were just appetizers, Gong Shiyan was the main target.

Old Mr. Gong indeed lived up to his reputation, forcing his son to make a choice in front of the city’s elites.

Either Liu He leaves or Gong Shiyan gives up his Vice President position.

Lin Zhiyi recalled Gong Chen mentioning, in these past three years, he and Gong Shiyan had joined forces to remove many of Old Mr. Gong’s people.

Old Mr. Gong could not touch Gong Chen, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t touch Gong Shiyan.

This was indeed the opportunity!

No regrets, no matter how Gong Shiyan chose, it was irreversible.

And today’s guests were all witnesses.

Sang Li and Gong Chen simultaneously looked at Lin Zhiyi, she just shook her head.

Just a little bit more.
