Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 736

Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Well Prepared

"Who says they’re doing well?" Yang Jingwei sneered.

Bai Ruoshu looked at her, puzzled.

"Mom, what do you mean by that?"

"When I was offering a toast, the old master had a few more drinks and mentioned Liu He’s child. If it’s a girl, Second Young Master will have to return some of the shares. Considering Liu He’s age, having another child is virtually impossible. Does he plan on letting Gong Family’s shares flow out?"

After hearing this, Bai Ruoshu’s expression froze.

She carefully considered the words Yang Jingwei had deliberately said while toasting and immediately understood the underlying meaning.

"Mom, you intentionally announced in public that Second Madam is expecting a girl?"

"Have you finally grasped it? Sitting at that table were quite a few madams from the upper circles, their interests closely tied to their husbands. After hearing my words, they’ll reconsider cooperating with Second Young Master when they return home. As long as Gong Yao seizes the opportunity, there’s no need to worry about performance issues in Gong Group."

Yang Jingwei raised an eyebrow at Bai Ruoshu.

Bai Ruoshu was about to smile but then frowned.

"Although Second Madam indeed seems to be carrying a girl, what if she gives birth to a boy? We’ll still get nothing."

Yang Jingwei paced forward, looking in the direction the car drove off.

"When has your mom ever fought a battle unprepared? Those moralistic people claim boys and girls are the same on the surface but secretly wish for a boy, even with clear rewards and penalties."

"Now everyone thinks Liu He is carrying a girl. Liu He has two choices: gamble or find a way to turn the tide."

"As for Second Young Master, these years, he’s held a high position; how could he give up power? Giving up shares for a daughter? Do you really think men in this world are saints?"

"It’s easier to have another son."

Bai Ruoshu withdrew her gaze, thought for a few seconds, and understood Yang Jingwei’s intention.

"Mom, it seems you’ve prepared well."

"The old man wants Gong Yao to marry you, not because he admires what I hold in my hand: the leverage over the nobles and the Bai Family’s hidden industry chain. Before we establish a foothold in Jing City, exposing these things too early will only be our death sentence. Thus, the old master uses the company’s current bottleneck to restrain me, wishing I obediently present them. So we’re going to stir up Gong Family’s waters and see who is the real winner."

Yang Jingwei’s face showed a cunning smile.

Bai Ruoshu expressed her concern: "What if Second Madam and Second Young Master don’t fall for it? I heard from Gong Yao that Second Young Master was previously low-profile, completely to avoid getting in Third Young Master’s way. He’s actually quite complex."

"Is he? But I happen to understand someone."

Liu He.

Yang Jingwei didn’t elaborate and turned to take Bai Ruoshu to find Gong Yao.

...

Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen received a message from Sister Zhou on their way back.

"Zhiyi, don’t forget the wedding."

"How could I forget your wedding?"

Lin Zhiyi was genuinely happy for Sister Zhou.

Sister Zhou and her husband plan to have a travel wedding, but the groom’s family elders all gave gifts.

So before the trip, they plan to have a meal together, treated as a formality.

It’s not grand.

"Dare I ask, is Third Young Master coming?"

Sister Zhou sent a small emoji.

Lin Zhiyi glanced at the noble and aloof man beside her.

The way he’s dressed to go to a regular wedding, unaware might think he’s going to acquire a hotel.

Forget it.

"Third Young Master has prepared a wedding gift for you; he can’t make it."

"Alright then. Don’t forget."

"Okay."

End of conversation.

Gong Chen asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Sister Zhou’s wedding is the day after tomorrow; she asked if you’re coming. Don’t worry, I’ve already politely declined on your behalf," Lin Zhiyi said.

"How do you know I won’t accompany you?"

"Relax, neither me nor Sister Zhou are upset. You don’t have to force yourself, moreover Sister Zhou’s friends—none of them I know, so you’d feel even more uncomfortable."

Lin Zhiyi understood Gong Chen’s character.

Dislikes trouble.

There’s really no need to take him to someone else’s wedding and have him keep a cold face.

Besides, with the large gift Gong Chen has given Sister Zhou, she’s surely very happy.

Gong Chen glanced at her and said no more.

Until the day of Sister Zhou’s wedding, he didn’t mention it again.
