Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1150: You Can’t Threaten Me

Yu Mei saw that Lin Zhiyi hadn’t replied, so she started making arrangements on her own.

"Since you understand now, let’s have lunch together tomorrow. I’ll send you the time and place."

Just like high school.

She was always the big sister figure.

Lin Zhiyi snorted softly, completely ignoring it.

She didn’t plan to involve Gong Chen.

This matter with Yu Mei wasn’t suitable for Gong Chen to handle, as it might easily expose them.

Lin Zhiyi planned to deal with it herself.

Moreover, a woman’s intuition told her that there seemed to be a subtle connection between Yu Mei and Gong Chen.

She firmly told Gong Chen, "You don’t have to worry about this, I’ll find a way to handle it, unless... you tell me why you remember what happened in the photo so clearly."

Gong Chen pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Since you put it that way, I certainly trust you’ll handle it well."

Lin Zhiyi clicked her tongue in her heart.

Still tight-lipped, it seems he won’t say anything.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t ask further and they were almost done with their meal.

Everyone went their separate ways.

Lin Zhiyi watched as Gong Chen carried Xingxing toward the parking lot, and Chu Yin quickly walked up.

"I saw you whispering with Third Young Master earlier. Were you talking about that Yu Mei?"

"Since when did you get so interested in these things?" Lin Zhiyi asked curiously.

Chu Yin said with interest, "I don’t have any events to attend right now, plenty of time, and since you don’t want Third Young Master involved, isn’t it just right for me to help you?"

Lin Zhiyi laughed, "I think you find it amusing. Are you planning to visit your parents after coming back from the wedding this time?"

Chu Yin shook her head, "Chu Wu was sent back to Jing City to serve time because she had records in both places. She even sent someone to give me a message during this time."

"A message? She wouldn’t be asking you for help, would she?" Lin Zhiyi guessed.

"She had someone bring the message saying that after she was sent back to Jing City, my parents went to see her, afraid she wouldn’t eat or sleep well. Even though my dad is paralyzed, he still insisted on going in a wheelchair to see her. They care so much about her."

Chu Yin said this very calmly.

As if the grievances over the years had long since vanished.

Lin Zhiyi pressed her lips together, not knowing how to console her.

But Chu Yin pulled her with a smile, "Don’t worry, I don’t think much of it. My parents have been biased all their lives; how could they change now? Their previous kindness was also because I’m now making money, not because they love me."

Lin Zhiyi comforted, "Your sister really is both bad and childish. Who still craves that little bit of love from your parents now? Without them, it’s sunny outside."

"Indeed, I didn’t know what I was clinging to before." Chu Yin laughed, "Let me know if anything comes up. I’m curious to see what Yu Mei wants."

"Sure."

After waving goodbye, Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin each got into their cars and left.

On the way back, Xingxing fell asleep, and Gong Chen, holding her, seemed deep in thought about something.

As they returned home, Gong Chen carefully put Xingxing on the bed, watched her for a full three minutes before leaving the room.

Lin Zhiyi stood in the doorway watching, and even after seeing it many times, she still felt a sense of detachment.

In her past life, she knew that Gong Chen’s coldness towards her and Xingxing had some degree of pretense, but she always felt Gong Chen didn’t have deep feelings for Xingxing.

After all, they hadn’t spent much time as father and daughter.

Gong Chen’s deliberate avoidance made Xingxing hesitant to approach him.

But now, Gong Chen’s love for Xingxing seemed to overflow at every moment.

Suddenly, Lin Zhiyi felt a curiosity well up inside her.

When did Gong Chen’s feelings for her truly begin?

While thinking, Gong Chen had already walked up to Lin Zhiyi.

"What are you thinking about, lost in thought?"

He spoke as he hugged her, leading her out of the children’s room and closing the door behind them.

Lin Zhiyi knew that even if she asked, Gong Chen wouldn’t say anything, so she simply smiled.

"I just think you’re really good to Xingxing."

The man pondered deeply for a moment, then pulled her into the room.

"Do you think I’m not good to you?"

"I’m not..."

Gong Chen didn’t give her a chance to finish before he locked the door.

...

The next day at the studio.

Lin Zhiyi was working on a design drawing, having long forgotten about the matter with Yu Mei.

As noon approached, Chen Jin was asking what to order for lunch when a message from Yu Mei arrived.

"Don’t keep me waiting long, or I could write anything."

Lin Zhiyi then remembered that Yu Mei had asked her out.

She thought that since she hadn’t replied, Yu Mei probably wouldn’t contact her again.

Given this, Lin Zhiyi sent a message to Chu Yin.

Then she looked up and said, "There’s a lunch invitation today. If you go with me, you can’t tell Third Young Master."

Chen Jin frowned slightly.

"President Lin."

"Don’t be so tense, there aren’t many people who can beat you. I think I’ll be quite safe," Lin Zhiyi reassured.

Chen Jin could only nod.

Lin Zhiyi added, "Don’t make your presence known."

Chen Jin felt as if she were betraying Third Young Master.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the restaurant and parked the car, a familiar face appeared.

"Hello, Assistant Chen." Zhou Zhao, dressed casually, waved.

Chen Jin asked skillfully, "What are we eating this time?"

Zhou Zhao grinned, "Let’s open another table and chat slowly."

Chu Yin adjusted her sunglasses, "Am I the one having lunch, or are you? You took half an hour to fix yourself up."

Zhou Zhao immediately explained, "I’m just delivering documents for the young master and coincidentally came to have lunch with you, just a coincidence."

Chu Yin chuckled lightly.

Lin Zhiyi checked the time, "Let’s go, it’s time."

...

Inside the restaurant.

Yu Mei was looking in the mirror, appearing quite casual.

Her makeup was slightly more intense than the day before, quite assertive.

Upon hearing footsteps, she put the mirror down and saw that accompanying Lin Zhiyi was that little star again.

"Miss Chu, I didn’t expect you’d come."

The implication being Chu Yin was uninvited.

Lin Zhiyi said, "Chu Yin is a friend of mine. She also happened to order jewelry from my office, so I brought her along. Since I brought a guest, this meal is on me."

Upon hearing that Chu Yin ordered jewelry, Yu Mei instinctively assessed Chu Yin’s value.

Chu Yin wore casual clothes, mainly for comfort, from a common domestic sports brand.

Until Yu Mei noticed the large diamond ring on Chu Yin’s finger.

The last time she saw a diamond ring of that size and clarity was on an international film queen’s hand.

Yu Mei changed her tone and said, "Since you’re Zhiyi’s friend, then you’re my friend too. I said I’d treat, so it’s on me. Please have a seat, Miss Chu."

Chu Yin thought to herself, is she really this easygoing?

Yesterday in the reception room, her attitude toward the receptionist wasn’t like this.

Chu Yin smiled faintly, "You’re too kind, Reporter Yu. I’ll listen to Zhiyi."

Realizing that Yu Mei wanted to get close, Chu Yin made her stance clear.

Yu Mei pressed her lips and continued, "Listen to Zhiyi? Then that’s even better. As my friend, Zhiyi will definitely listen to me, right? Lin Zhiyi."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi picked up her tea and took a sip.

"Yu Mei, you and I both know what’s between us, no need for sarcasm here. You don’t actually think a photo can threaten me, do you? Back then, I made you apologize in front of the whole school, and I can do it again today."

Yu Mei was taken aback.
