Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 46 - Who are you
Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Who are you?
Chapter 46 -46 Who are you?
“Not a big deal?”
Lin Zhiyi sneered coldly, her gaze lowered, “Officer, you heard it yourselves, they do not admit to anything they have done, and Miss Song also testified for them. As the plaintiff, I demand that the three of them produce evidence to refute what I provided.”
“Specifically, the evidence they mentioned that implies I seduced and provoked them.”
“And also… the evidence from Miss Song where she swears I aimed to climb the ranks by taking shortcuts.”
“You’re all police officers, you operate with law enforcement devices, surely they can’t change their statements now, can they?”
As she finished speaking, the three were dumbfounded.
Especially Song Wanqiu, whose triumphant look instantly turned to shock.
She had been quietly sitting there with no issues, only to outsmart herself.
Now none of them could escape.
The police nodded, “The law enforcement device has been recording all along, do you have any evidence to prove what you said?”
Song Wanqiu had brought trouble upon herself, it took her a moment to snap out of it, she moved to sit beside Gong Chen, her eyes welled up as she said, “Third Young Master, I only meant to trivialize the matter for the Gong Family, after all, if this got out, it wouldn’t just destroy Zhiyi’s reputation but also shame the Gong Family.”
She hoped to use the Gong Family to get Gong Chen to speak for her.
Lin Zhiyi knew Gong Chen would indeed do so, she interjected directly, “So, Song Wanqiu, you actually have no evidence, and you’re falsely accusing me of seducing them for fame? That’s slander. As a woman, and the future Third Madam of the Gong Family, you’re not only losing face for my uncle but also tarnishing the Gong Family’s reputation.”
She could say the same.
Song Wanqiu, what do you have to say now?
Upon hearing this, Song Wanqiu’s face turned pale green.
But she was smart, realizing something was off, she immediately started playing weak.
She cried sobbingly, her eyes red, looking utterly wronged.
“Zhiyi, I’m sorry. I know you blame me for taking Third Young Master away, but I truly didn’t know they, as your seniors, would act improperly toward you. I just saw how happily you all were drinking, I thought you were on good terms, it was my misunderstanding, scold me.”
While it sounded like an apology, a misunderstanding, in reality, this was merely Song Wanqiu’s way of making a strategic retreat.
Even amidst her seemingly innocent statements, she again placed Lin Zhiyi together with Gong Chen.
It forced those in the know to recall their absurd one-night affair, making it seem like Lin Zhiyi was being jealous and making life difficult for Song Wanqiu deliberately.
Lin Zhiyi did not give Song Wanqiu the chance to shift the concept, she asked very straightforwardly, “Song Wanqiu, I’m asking if you have any evidence, you just need to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ into the law enforcement device.”
Song Wanqiu choked up, tears streaming, but she remained silent.
The police decided firmly, “Miss Song, please answer the question directly, do you have any evidence? Or can you prove that it was Miss Lin who first gave the hint among the three of you?”
Song Wanqiu clenched her teeth and looked at Gong Chen for help.
However, Gong Chen was studying his tea, thoroughly engaged in tasting it.
Song Wanqiu pursed her lips, shaking her head, “No.”
The police spoke sternly, “Miss Song, please be responsible with your words from now on!”
The usually aloof and elegant Song Wanqiu appeared as if she had been slapped in public, sitting there as if confined within a jail, utterly embarrassed.
Lin Zhiyi, however, smiled lightly, “Now what? If I understood Miss Song correctly, it means that all of this has nothing to do with her, she knows nothing.”
The two men panicked, if Song Wanqiu didn’t back them up, they were done!
“Nonsense! Miss Song, you can’t suddenly change your story, you clearly implied that Lin Zhiyi dresses to please others, and even said she wanted to get to know us better. If you hadn’t said that, how could we ever make a move on her?”
“You…”
Song Wanqiu cried pitifully, her face the picture of aggrieved innocence, “I did say that, but what I meant was that Zhiyi was dressing up for her beloved career and wanted to discuss design with you. Your minds are dirty, everything you hear is dirty, now you’re blaming me? I can’t hear any hint in those words.”
As she wiped her tears, she shifted closer to Gong Chen, her eyes warning the two men.
Watch your words and remember whose woman I am!
The two men gasped, reminded of another colleague lying in a hospital.
They would rather die than offend Gong Chen or face a fate worse than death.
They could only bow in apology, “Sorry! Miss Lin, we were drunk and harbored ill intentions, we were wrong, please let us go!”
“Not letting go,” Lin Zhiyi scoffed, “If I let you go today, you’ll think you got lucky and who knows who will suffer next time. Today’s suffering is self-inflicted, you listened to everyone else, you only have yourselves to blame.”
This cold irony and burning sarcasm infuriated Song Wanqiu, nearly causing her to lose her composure, but she dared not speak her anger.
And the other two, unwilling to see their own destruction, ignored the police officers blocking them and lunged towards Lin Zhiyi to beg for mercy.
“Miss Lin…”
But what the two did not expect was that before they could even plead, Lin Zhiyi went crazy.
“Ah! How terrifying! How terrifying! Do not come near me, do not come close…”
In a frenzy, she grabbed the boiling water Liu He had just poured and threw it out.
It went directly towards Song Wanqiu on the sofa.
Song Wanqiu was quick to react, hiding behind Gong Chen, thinking if Lin Zhiyi went mad and hurt Gong Chen, neither the Gong Family nor Gong Chen himself would let her off the hook.
But unexpectedly, Gong Chen suddenly bent down to pour tea, completely exposing Song Wanqiu.
A whole cup of boiling water splashed onto her face.
“Ah! My face! My face! Lin Zhiyi, have you gone mad?”
Lin Zhiyi then hid behind Liu He, scared and said, “Mom, someone is trying to grab me! I’m scared!”
Liu He, too angry to care about anything else, said, “Song Wanqiu! You can’t blame anyone else! The doctors all said our Zhiyi can’t withstand stimulation, if it hadn’t been for you just now helping these two people frame her, would she have suddenly gone mad? She can’t see now, you’re just unlucky!”
“You, you… Third Young Master, my face is burning.”
Song Wanqiu’s cheeks were burning painfully, too painful even to touch, so she could only cry to Gong Chen.
Gong Chen lifted her cheeks and hummed lightly, “I will take you to see a doctor.”
Crying, Song Wanqiu nestled into Gong Chen’s arms, her face flushed red, unattractive no matter how delicate.
But she was still pleased, because Gong Chen would always protect her.
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t see, she simply didn’t care.
Even if she could see, so what? In Gong Chen’s eyes, Song Wanqiu was always right.
The police officer stepped forward and said, “Since we’ve asked everything, we’ll leave now.”
Lin Zhiyi nodded and, with Liu He’s support, got into bed.
“Don’t think too much, try to get some sleep.”
“Mom, you can go back,” Lin Zhiyi whispered while leaning on the pillow.
Liu He smoothed her hair, concerned and said, “You’re like this, I’m not at ease.”
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi’s nose tingled, and she moved closer to her.
“Mom.”
“Go to sleep.”
Liu He patted Lin Zhiyi’s back, and Lin Zhiyi dozed off wearily.
…
Burn ward.
Song Wanqiu’s cheek hurt so much she wanted to cry, but the tears made it hurt even more.
She asked in agony, “Third Young Master, is it not my turn yet?”
Gong Chen looked down on her from above, his tone cold, “No.”
“Can you ask the doctor to see me first…”
As Song Wanqiu spoke, she looked up, and when she met Gong Chen’s dark, intense eyes, a wave of fear filled her heart, and her voice faded away.
The man before her twirled the red jadeite ring playfully, his lowered brows and eyes dangerously charming, his tall stature looming like a mountain that left her gasping for air.
Song Wanqiu immediately understood, he was angry.
Gong Chen’s eyes flickered, cold as the night: “See you first? Who do you think you are?”
