Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744: Chapter 744: This Matter Is Not Up for Discussion

Zhong Min paused slightly under Gong Chen’s gaze.

She smiled, "What are you talking about?"

Gong Chen explained, "Aunt, you’re not sick. You pretended to be sick to me on purpose because of Fu Shu."

Zhong Min stopped her motion of drinking tea.

She knew nothing could escape Gong Chen’s eyes.

"Gong Chen, I did have something to discuss with you, and I only intended to invite you over. I didn’t expect you to bring Zhiyi as well."

"All for Fu Shu? You lied to me?" Gong Chen got straight to the point.

Zhong Min looked at him and nodded.

"Yes, I introduced Xiao Shu to you all. When I was abroad, she saved me. It’s rare that she asked me for a favor, so, of course, I want to help her out."

Gong Chen, undisturbed, asked in return, "What did she say?"

Zhong Min replied, "She said last time she was misunderstood by Zhiyi, and you both seemed not to want to use her anymore. But she really appreciates Xingxing’s talent. As a teacher, she can’t bear to part with such a good student. Moreover, you’re currently her biggest-paying employer. She and her brother depend on each other, and their parents are not in good health back home. She’s just trying to earn a bit more money."

"Aunt, Zhiyi and I are already looking for another teacher. Fu Shu is not suitable for us." Gong Chen objected.

"Is this Zhiyi’s decision? She doesn’t seem like someone who would be so calculating."

Zhong Min frowned.

Gong Chen replied bluntly, "Aunt, things haven’t been easy for Zhiyi and me. Anyone or anything that makes her uncomfortable won’t stay. There’s no room for negotiation on this matter."

"You... make me seem heartless, but hearing you say this, I’m also happy. Zhiyi is indeed a good woman."

Zhong Min saw that Gong Chen had made up his mind and then smiled.

"Fine, since you’ve already decided, I won’t insist. I’ll talk to Xiao Shu about it in a moment."

"Thank you, Aunt."

Gong Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Zhiyi shouldn’t be upset now.

...

Downstairs, in the kitchen.

Lin Zhiyi wanted to separate the pastries she had brought onto small plates.

Just as she was about to ask the housekeeper, Fu Shu had already proficiently taken out a set of plates from the cabinet.

"Let me do it. After I met the old lady abroad, I often went to accompany her. I know exactly how much she can eat."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi stepped back a bit and handed the small knife to Fu Shu.

While dividing the snacks, Fu Shu whispered, "Miss Lin, don’t take what I said earlier to heart. I meant nothing else. I’m just used to accompanying the old lady."

Here it is again, this tactic.

Subtle yet with a hint of manipulation.

But her acting skills were nowhere near Song Wanqiu’s.

Song Wanqiu was the woman who deceived Gong Chen for three years, her capability speaks volumes.

But Fu Shu’s eyes couldn’t lower themselves like Song Wanqiu’s.

There was a contradiction deep in her eyes.

Lin Zhiyi had dealt with Song Wanqiu for two lifetimes, and now she faced provocation without a ripple.

She stood by, making tea, and chuckled.

Fu Shu almost cut the pastry wrong.

She glanced at Lin Zhiyi, "Miss Lin, what are you laughing at?"

Lin Zhiyi calmly said, "Sorry, I’m not laughing at you. It’s just that the way you speak... it’s not very appropriate."

"What do you mean?" Fu Shu was slightly stunned.

Lin Zhiyi continued making tea without even looking at Fu Shu.

"Mrs. Jiang is easygoing and cordial to everyone. No one in the Jiang family dislikes her."

"You talk as if Mrs. Jiang is exploiting you. What would outsiders think if they heard this?"

With that, Lin Zhiyi glanced at Fu Shu’s way of cutting the snacks.

"Since Teacher Fu seems to enjoy doing the maid’s work so much, why should I compete to do it?"

"Wouldn’t want to waste Teacher Fu’s kind intentions in serving Mrs. Jiang."

Fu Shu froze, almost cutting her finger.

Lin Zhiyi quickly supported her, "Teacher Fu, why are you so careless again?"

Fu Shu should understand the hidden meaning.

For a long time, Fu Shu didn’t say a word.

Lin Zhiyi continued to make tea, head down.

Fu Shu clenched her teeth to suppress her feelings.

Meanwhile, she noticed a figure flash by outside the door.

She looked at the time, her eyes moved slightly, and she immediately showed a look as if she was about to cry.

The person outside the door overheard Lin Zhiyi’s sarcastic remarks about Fu Shu.

Seeing Fu Shu look so aggrieved, they immediately frowned and left.
