Lin Zhiyi, like the others, looked at Gong Chen with confusion.
"Third Young Master, you know very well that those mother and daughter aren’t nice people, so why invite them?"
"Your studio has faced many hurdles: first the workers met with accidents, then delays, and people online who were initially interested are now speculating wildly, so why not create some buzz to divert attention?"
Gong Chen analyzed the current situation.
Although Lin Zhiyi agreed with Gong Chen’s approach, Liu He had just gotten into trouble, and she couldn’t swallow her anger over it.
"I really don’t want to see Mrs. Bai."
At this moment, her dislike for Yang Jingwei outweighed that for Bai Ruoshu.
Gong Chen said calmly, "Not only will they bring you attention, but they will also bring you money. Moreover, if they go, Gong Yao will attend too, making it a chance to divert Mrs. Bai’s attention from your mother."
"You always have a way; tomorrow I must recommend some nice things to Bai Ruoshu’s former friends."
Lin Zhiyi cunningly winked at Gong Chen.
Bai Ruoshu used to be the center of attention among her friends, but now...
After the conversation, Gong Shiyan stood up.
"Well, it’s getting late. Zhiyi, you should go back and rest early."
"But I want to wait for my mom to wake up." Lin Zhiyi said worriedly.
Gong Chen looked at her, "Xingxing is still waiting for you at home. Second Brother is here, and your mom needs some calm."
Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Uncle, if anything happens, please call me."
"Okay."
Only then did Lin Zhiyi leave with peace of mind.
...
In the bedroom.
Liu He was awakened by the vibration of her phone.
She was dazed for a few seconds and then propped herself up, just in time to see the scattered pills on the floor.
Her face instantly turned pale.
Yang Jingwei was so ruthless towards her!
Just as she was thinking this, her phone vibrated again.
She quickly answered the call.
A private detective’s voice came from the other end.
"Madam, I found something, but the situation is somewhat complex. I can’t explain it over the phone; let’s meet and discuss tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
Liu He remembered that tomorrow was the grand opening of Lin Zhiyi’s studio.
The private detective, sensing her silence, reminded, "Madam, I think some matters should be addressed promptly."
The tone didn’t seem deceitful.
Liu He considered it.
Lin Zhiyi’s auspicious time was 11:58 in the afternoon.
If she could meet someone in the morning, this matter could be resolved.
"Okay, see you tomorrow morning at eight. Please send me the address."
"Yes, madam."
Just after hanging up the phone, Gong Shiyan came in with a bowl of porridge.
"Why didn’t you say anything when you woke up?"
Liu He smiled, "I just wanted to be alone, clear my thoughts; you know I’m not as smart as you, so reaction is slow on many matters."
"It’s alright, have some food and rest a bit more."
Gong Shiyan picked up the bowl and blew lightly.
Feeling comforted, Liu He ate a few bites and asked, "Zhiyi went back?"
"I persuaded her. I know you don’t want her to worry."
"Thank you, hubby." Liu He leaned closer and said leisurely, "I want to get up early to do my makeup tomorrow; after all, it’s a big day for Zhiyi, and as her mother, I don’t want to embarrass her."
"Then I’ll take you there tomorrow."
"No need, just have the house driver take me; the lower profile the better right now."
"Alright, be careful."
"Got it."
