Before replying, Lin Zhiyi specifically looked at Gong Chen.
It was then she noticed Gong Chen was holding a warm towel.
He sat back on the sofa and placed the warm towel on Lin Zhiyi’s feet.
Lin Zhiyi looked at him, knowing she already had the answer in her heart.
"Do I need to be mindful of anything?"
"Since she reached out to you, you can reply however you like," Gong Chen said nonchalantly.
"Alright."
Lin Zhiyi quickly edited the message.
"I’m sorry, Teacher Fu, I didn’t know about the dessert. I just asked the Third Young Master, and he said there was a fruit flavor I don’t like, so I dealt with it. I checked the price of the dessert just now, and I will transfer it to you right away."
Then, she transferred the money to Fu Shu.
Even if Fu Shu spoke out, no one would say Lin Zhiyi was a difficult client.
Fu Shu should also understand Lin Zhiyi’s intent.
She said thank you and accepted the money.
She couldn’t not accept it; otherwise, it would appear she had ulterior motives.
Fu Shu took the opportunity when Lin Zhiyi wasn’t paying attention to orchestrate an encounter with Gong Chen.
Isn’t it just to avoid people saying she has ulterior motives?
Lin Zhiyi handed her phone to Gong Chen to check.
Gong Chen nodded, "Handled well."
Lin Zhiyi straightened up, "I didn’t tell you this, but I want reimbursement. How could a small dessert cost six hundred and eighty?! That’s extortionate, right?"
"..."
Gong Chen shook his head with a smile and transferred the money to Lin Zhiyi.
...
On the other side.
Fu Shu stared at the phone screen, lost in thought.
After a while, her brother Fu Bin walked over.
"What’s wrong? Still haven’t let you go back to work?"
"Yeah, Lin Zhiyi doesn’t care at all about my ’coincidental’ meeting with the Third Young Master." Fu Shu frowned.
"I told you, the Third Young Master is not like those men you’ve encountered before. He and Lin Zhiyi have been through so much; he won’t easily transfer his affections," Fu Bin advised.
"If they don’t mention letting me go back to work, what should I do?"
For the first time, Fu Shu felt a sense of crisis.
Fu Bin got up and walked a few steps.
"Actually, there’s someone else who can help you. I think Lin Zhiyi wouldn’t disregard the other person’s goodwill, but once you return, you must not be as reckless as before. The Third Young Master would definitely notice your ulterior motives."
Fu Shu thought of who that person might be and nodded.
"I understand. I’ll contact them right away."
...
Two days later, Lin Zhiyi accompanied Liu He from the hospital.
Beside her was still the same personal assistant.
She exchanged a knowing look with Liu He.
After returning to the villa, the personal assistant handed over the medicine prescribed by the doctor.
"Madam, it’s time to take your pregnancy-preserving medicine."
"Hmm."
Liu He took the medicine and frowned while preparing to drink water.
"It’s a bit hot. Add some cold water for me, it’s already hard for me to swallow pills."
"Okay."
The assistant instinctively glanced at the pills in her hand.
When the assistant went to fetch water, Liu He immediately took out the same pills from under the pillow.
Seeing her still holding the pills and chatting with Lin Zhiyi, the assistant didn’t pay much attention.
"Madam, drink the water."
"Alright."
Liu He swallowed the medicine in front of the assistant.
The assistant then left the room.
Lin Zhiyi looked at Liu He and then turned to follow the assistant out of the room.
She indeed found the assistant on a phone call.
"No suspicion, it’s good you told me to carry the original medicine with me. But if I get hospitalized again, wouldn’t it be exposed?"
"You said you have new medicine? So... what would the consequences be?"
"I did take your money, but I don’t want to bear a life on my conscience."
"Premature birth? Are you sure it won’t result in death?"
"You’re giving me this much?"
The assistant lowered her head, thought for a while, and then nodded.
"Okay."
Lin Zhiyi felt a chill in her heart upon hearing this.
Indeed, money could grease all wheels.
No matter how good some people are to her, it’s useless.
Unfortunately, Lin Zhiyi couldn’t hear the voice on the other end of the call or understand the plan.
Fortunately, the assistant mentioned new medicine.
