Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 136: Use Me Then Run?

Inside the dry towel was actually a room card!

Shen Yan took a deep breath, but no matter how much she breathed, she couldn’t restrain the wild jealousy in her heart.

Why did all men seem enchanted as soon as they saw Lin Zhiyi?

Even a man like Gong Chen wanted to obtain Lin Zhiyi.

Why!

As Lin Zhiyi held the room card, she said distressedly, "Third Young Master seems to know my predicament. Assistant Chen said to find him in the room, he would help me solve it, what should I choose? It seems like everyone would choose Third Young Master, right?"

"Of course choose Mr. Chen!"

You wretch only deserve someone like Mr. Chen, who’s a toad!

Shen Yan’s voice rose to a high pitch, sounding shrill and unpleasant like a burst balloon.

Lin Zhiyi pretended not to understand her tone and countered, "Shen Yan, why should I only choose Mr. Chen?"

Shen Yan froze for a few seconds, then began her manipulation again.

"Zhiyi, I’m also thinking of your best interest. You must understand that Mr. Chen is our client. If you can’t appease him, what if he badmouths you in private? This could be fatal for your future work."

"Besides, Third Young Master definitely doesn’t like you, he loves Miss Song. You shouldn’t do something that would destroy other people’s relationships."

Lin Zhiyi stared at her, reminding her, "Shen Yan, Mr. Chen is married, and his son is even older than I am."

Shen Yan smiled, "That’s good, even if Mr. Chen’s wife finds out, she wouldn’t divorce him for the sake of their children."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi really wanted to roll her eyes.

Taking advantage of her silence, Shen Yan stretched out her hand to grab the room card from her.

"I’ll throw this room card away for you."

Lin Zhiyi dodged her hand and stuffed the room card into her bag.

"Shen Yan, didn’t you say we can’t compete with the wealthy? Third Young Master is even more powerful than Mr. Chen, how can I afford to offend him? I need to think this over again. I’ll go to the restroom to clean my dress first."

Behind her, Shen Yan’s eyes blazed with fire, wishing she could burn a hole through Lin Zhiyi’s bag.

She thought for a moment, then immediately put on a concerned face and moved closer to Lin Zhiyi.

"Zhiyi, it’s inconvenient for you to wipe your dress while holding your bag, let me hold it for you."

"Okay, thanks."

Lin Zhiyi handed her the bag and turned away to wet the towel and began wiping her dress.

While wiping, Lin Zhiyi chatted in a low voice, "Actually, I’m really scared of Third Young Master, he doesn’t like women who talk too much. I’m afraid I might say something wrong if I’m too nervous."

"Mmm."

Shen Yan responded carelessly.

After wiping her dress, Lin Zhiyi used the hair dryer briefly until there were no obvious marks, then turned around.

Shen Yan immediately handed her the bag, "Zhiyi, here’s your bag, let’s go to the banquet hall quickly."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi took her bag and entered the banquet hall with Shen Yan.

The Chen Family’s banquet was very lavish. Not only was the hall glittering with gold, but in the center there was even a champagne tower so tall it required a ladder to reach.

Each glass was a five-digit imported crystal glass.

To create a lush atmosphere, the surrounding flowers were airlifted from Chun City, and they even hired over a dozen florists to maintain them on site.

Any wilting or damaged flowers were replaced immediately.

Not to mention how costly the delicacies on the dining tables were.

Lin Zhiyi hurriedly walked to Xue Man’s side, where they exchanged glances without speaking.

After they sat down, a gaze fixed on her made her spine shiver.

Following the gaze, she collided with Gong Chen’s deep, inscrutable eyes. The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Under the lights, his eyes were cold and unreadable until Chen Jin whispered something in his ear, and a playful look appeared in his eyes.

Lin Zhiyi felt a chill within her and immediately avoided his gaze.

He couldn’t know anything, right?

He shouldn’t.

Just then, Chen Hongwei’s voice rang out in the center of the hall.

"Thank you all for attending the Chen Group’s celebration banquet. I believe that our Chen Group will shine even brighter in the future."

Everyone looked up to see Chen Hongwei standing atop a ladder, looking down at the crowd.

At that moment, they realized the true meaning of the champagne tower.

It wasn’t about hosting the guests; it was a blatant display of power.

Most of the guests present were from the business world, composed and unflappable, watching Chen Hongwei as he laughed heartily from above.

Standing beneath the ladder was Gong Yan, the chief strategist behind the Chen Group.

Gong Yan scanned his surroundings, his eyes no longer soft but filled with a businessman’s ambition.

Perhaps this was his true self.

A ruthless businessman who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Through the crowd, Gong Yan suddenly looked in Lin Zhiyi’s direction.

Lin Zhiyi averted her gaze, unwilling to look at him any longer.

After the champagne tower was filled, everyone raised their glasses.

Chen Hongwei drank two glasses of wine, then mentioned he needed to use the restroom.

Before leaving, he cast a special glance at Lin Zhiyi.

At this time, the other members of the Chen family were immersed in joy, so they did not notice anything unusual.

Then, Shen Yan tugged at Lin Zhiyi’s arm.

"Zhiyi, Mr. Chen has left, do you want to talk with him alone?" she hinted.

Lin Zhiyi withdrew her hand and looked in Gong Chen’s direction, saying faintly, "Wait a while longer."

Shen Yan followed her gaze and, spotting Gong Chen, clenched her fists unknowingly.

It seemed Lin Zhiyi was still undecided.

At that moment, Gong Chen got up and left the banquet hall.

Lin Zhiyi made a move to stand up, but Shen Yan blocked her suddenly, then stood up herself.

"Think it over, Zhiyi; I’m going to the restroom."

"Okay," Lin Zhiyi responded, her face troubled.

Shen Yan rushed out quickly, almost as if she had an urgent matter.

Lin Zhiyi watched her disappearing figure, tightly clutching her champagne glass and tilted her head back to drink a full glass.

When she put down the glass, she noticed a graceful figure in white next to her.

It was Miss Song.

She was dressed in a mid-collar long-sleeved velvet dress with a lacy white diamond necklace around her neck, quite understated.

Knowing her for so long, this was the first time Lin Zhiyi had seen her dressed so conservatively.

It seemed her health hadn’t recovered as expected.

Otherwise, with her personality, she would have been the center of attention at any party today.

Miss Song swirled the wine in her glass and remarked with a smile, "Drinking in such a hurry? To bolster your courage?"

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, "It’s none of your business."

After saying that, she turned and left the banquet hall.

Miss Song chuckled softly, "Still stubborn till the end."

...

Lin Zhiyi stepped into the elevator, took a deep breath, and pressed the floor button.

As the elevator doors started to close, a slender pale hand held them back.

Lin Zhiyi startled slightly, and by the time she regained her composure, the man had stepped into the elevator and casually pressed the button for the top floor. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The doors closed again, and Lin Zhiyi, seeing the looming figure, stepped back twice until there was no more room, her body against the glass of the observation elevator.

As the elevator ascended, the cabin was bathed in a golden hue, and the man, who had been standing in the shadows, now dazzled brilliantly.

His dark pupils seemed to be ringed with a golden halo in the sunlight, and suddenly, he leaned close to Lin Zhiyi’s face.

Their faces were almost touching, with their noses nearly brushing against each other.

She instinctively held her breath, swallowing hard.

"Using me and then running away?"

It was Gong Chen.
