Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681: Chapter 681: She and I, Just Right

Gong Chen followed Old Mr. Jiang into the tea room.

Old Mr. Jiang got straight to the point: "Do you really want to marry her? You two are not suitable for each other at all."

"Then who am I suitable with? Song Wanqiu? Sang Ran? Aren’t these the people you all think are suitable? But in the end, did anyone ask if I think they’re suitable?"

Gong Chen spoke coldly, without restraint, stating his words bluntly.

Old Mr. Jiang looked at him and hesitated for a moment.

But he still felt that Lin Zhiyi was unsuitable.

"Even if we agreed, the Gong Family would not allow you to do this. You’ve just secured your position; do you really have to make it so that everyone will point fingers at your back?"

Gong Chen sat down properly and turned the ring on his finger.

"If my backbone is so easily broken, then I won’t hold this position for long."

These words left Old Mr. Jiang speechless.

He sighed and sat down, pouring a cup of tea for each.

"You’re grown now, and I can’t control you, but I still hope you would think about Siyi and Xiao Xi."

"..."

Gong Chen held the teacup without speaking.

Old Mr. Jiang glanced at him: "Do you really think you can hide it from me? On the surface, it seems the Bai Family took the child, but the truth is someone from the Gong Family wants to eradicate. Even though you have a paper agreement with him, he has many ways to prevent you from getting married smoothly. Are you willing to wait, and is Lin Zhiyi willing to wait?"

He didn’t like anyone associated with the Gong Family.

Even if Lin Zhiyi had no blood relations with the Gong Family.

If Gong Chen wasn’t someone he watched grow up, he wouldn’t like him either.

After all, if his sister had not insisted on giving birth to Gong Chen, she wouldn’t have become weak and died young.

The tragedy of the Jiang Family began with his sister’s marriage alliance with Old Mr. Gong.

In their youth, both families dined at the same table.

Every year during the New Year, the Jiang Family’s dining rooms were filled with tables, always lively and enthusiastically hosting the Gong Family.

When did both families not have a joyful gathering until late night?

Unbeknownst to them, they treated the Gong Family as relatives, while the Gong Family viewed them as lambs to the slaughter.

For all his life, he could never forgive the people of the Gong Family.

Moreover, Lin Zhiyi was too beautiful, and wouldn’t remain quiet for long.

Over the years, although Old Mr. Jiang had been abroad, Gong Chen had openly and secretly done many absurd things for Lin Zhiyi.

"She doesn’t want to." Gong Chen stated directly.

"I knew she was a..."

"Uncle, I said she doesn’t want to marry me now, I’m the one who doesn’t want to wait." Gong Chen explained.

"How could she possibly refuse you?"

"If she really wanted to marry me so much, she wouldn’t have used Sang Li to leave back then. After that night, she could have used the public opinion to force me to marry her, or secretly gave birth to the child to force my responsibility."

Old Mr. Jiang was stunned for a moment listening.

Gong Chen picked up the teapot and refilled Old Mr. Jiang’s tea.

"Uncle, have you really understood her? Your evaluation of her is nothing more than based on her family background, haven’t you suffered enough from this?"

Back then, making his mother marry Old Mr. Gong was based on this consideration, wasn’t it?

The heir of a prestigious family wouldn’t be too bad.

In the end, they almost faced total destruction.

Gong Chen continued: "If we could really choose the family we are born into, who wouldn’t want a prestigious family background? And who could always be prestigious?"

"Zhiyi is not a perfect person, and neither am I."

"She and I, we’re just right for each other."

"Wanting too much... would be counterproductive."

At this moment, the tea in Old Mr. Jiang’s cup overflowed.

Staring at the spreading tea on the table, the old man sighed.

Gong Chen restrained his breath and said, "Zhiyi says she hopes that I take good care of Xiao Yi and Xiao Xi, our matters can be postponed."

Old Mr. Jiang was stunned on the spot.

"But Uncle, I am also a father now, I cannot let my daughter suffer grievances."

When mentioning Lin Zhiyi and his daughter, Gong Chen’s eyes showed a gentleness that Old Mr. Jiang had never seen before.

This child never had gentleness since young.

"Forget it, you handle it yourself, but the matter with the Bai Family must be dealt with properly. This time it involves many people, just afraid they might secretly conspire against you in revenge."

"I understand." Gong Chen stood up, "Then, we’ll leave for now."

"Leaving without finishing the tea? She can’t be apart from you for a moment?" Old Mr. Jiang complained.

"It’s me who can’t be apart from her."
