Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 59 - How do you know I went mad
Chapter 59: Chapter 59 How do you know I went mad?
Chapter 59 -59 How do you know I went mad?
Song Wanqiu gnashed her teeth in rage but remained stubbornly silent.
The blade went straight down against Qin Shuang’s skin.
Qin Shuang screamed, “Wanqiu! Save Mom! She’s gone crazy!”
Song Wanqiu bit her lip and turned the conversation away with tears, “Lin Zhiyi, don’t do this. I know the truth is hard for you to accept, but my mom is innocent.”
Her cheeks turned a flushed red as she cried inconsolably, yet she refused to admit any wrongdoing on her mother’s behalf.
This clearly showed how hypocritical she was.
Everyone had known Song Wanqiu for over three years and had seen her act convincingly. For a moment, they were unsure who to believe.
At that time, Old Mr. Gong spoke up loudly.
“Lin Zhiyi, have you lost your mind? Let go of Mrs. Song. Do you think you can fool everyone with some fake recordings?”
Those words didn’t wound Lin Zhiyi’s heart, but Gong Shiyan’s.
He was not young anymore, and seeing his father prefer to trust someone else over believing his own sufferings turned his entire face the color of liver.
“Dad! This is all true!”
“Shut up! Is that how you talk? Tell Lin Zhiyi to get out!” Old Mr. Gong didn’t listen to anything he was saying.
Lin Zhiyi let out a cold laugh, “Heh, Old Master, so you don’t believe it? Then you should take a good look at your phone; I just sent you something quite interesting.”
Old Mr. Gong took out his phone, opened it to look, and his face became extremely troubled.
Lin Zhiyi then leaned closer to Qin Shuang and whispered, “Mrs. Song, it seems like your daughter doesn’t want to save you. Let me tell you something, I was just diagnosed with a mental illness. I can’t handle the stimulus; I could kill you and it wouldn’t be considered a crime, at most they’d just lock me up for a while, heh heh…”
Her laughter was especially chilling, causing Qin Shuang to tremble uncontrollably.
As Lin Zhiyi cut her skin with the knife, she knew Lin Zhiyi truly intended to kill her.
Seeing Song Wanqiu keep her mouth shut, Qin Shuang could only protect herself.
“The recording is real!”
Everyone was shocked, and the look on Song Wanqiu’s face was vivid, even somewhat blaming Qin Shuang.
The next second, Lin Zhiyi closed her eyes and fell backward.
Gong Chen caught her in his arms and spoke in a voice only the two could hear, “How much personal vendetta did you put into this silver fish soup?”

Lin Zhiyi almost couldn’t keep it together. He… how did he know everything?
To avoid any slip-ups, Lin Zhiyi woke up a minute later.
Song Wanqiu was supporting Qin Shuang and accused, “Lin Zhiyi, you’re insane. I’m going to call the police and have you arrested!”
Lin Zhiyi, holding her head and pretending she had just awakened from a dream, said, “You… how do you know I’m crazy? What did I just do? I don’t remember.”
“What?”
“I was diagnosed with a mental disorder yesterday. I’m usually as normal as anyone else, but once I’m provoked, I go mad,” Lin Zhiyi explained.
“That’s nonsense!”
“I have medical proof from a legitimate hospital.”
Lin Zhiyi pushed Gong Chen away and deliberately stepped on his foot as she went over to take out the hospital proof from her bag, first showing it to Old Master Gong.
Then she showed it to Song Wanqiu.
Song Wanqiu, beside herself with anger, said, “It must be a forgery.”
Lin Zhiyi pointed at the doctor’s name, “Dr. Li Huanhuan, you should know her, right? How do you think I could make her forge this for me?”
He was Gong Chen’s person!
At that moment, when Gong Chen heard the name Li Huanhuan, he sharply raised his eyes to stare at Lin Zhiyi.
How did she know?
Lin Zhiyi paid no attention to Gong Chen’s gaze, fiddling with the knife in her hand still tainted with Qin Shuang’s blood, and disdainfully wiped it with Qin Shuang’s silk shawl that hung on the chair.
Song Wanqiu actually felt a cold deathly aura emanating from Lin Zhiyi, sending shivers down her spine.
She clenched her fists and continued, “Lin Zhiyi, even if the proof is real, so what? My mom was just scared into talking nonsense by you, and I will call the police to claim our innocence.”
Innocence, huh?
“Miss Song, after you call the police, what will you tell them? Say that I was provoked into a frenzy by someone and nearly killed Mrs. Song? And who provoked me? Who was it exactly?”
Upon hearing this, everyone cautiously looked towards Old Mr. Gong.
Wasn’t it Old Mr. Gong who had publicly chastised Gong Shiyan and Liu He for the sake of the Song mother and daughter, which then provoked Lin Zhiyi to lose her mind?
Song Wanqiu froze.
She now understood that from the moment of that phone call, Lin Zhiyi had been laying out her plans.
Just now, her whole family was acting submissive, just waiting for Old Mr. Gong to speak!
What was the point of her calling the police?
Was it to have her testify against Old Mr. Gong?
“Enough!” Old Mr. Gong commanded authoritatively, “You mother and daughter have had too much to drink and are making a scene in your drunken state; better go home and rest early.”
“Old Master…”
Song Wanqiu looked at Old Mr. Gong in disbelief.
Old Mr. Gong gestured for the butler and handed back the box containing the treasured sword.
“This sword is not suited for me; take it back with you. Someone show these guests out.”
Song Wanqiu and Qin Shuang were reluctant and wanted to plead further.
But the next words from Old Mr. Gong cut off their hopes completely.
He looked at Gong Chen, rarely showing a displeased expression, “In the future, don’t bring just anyone home, talking nonsense after drinking, no manners! Every word said today, if it gets out, no one will have it easy.”
Gong Chen’s face darkened, “Understood.”
Song Wanqiu and Qin Shuang’s hearts skipped a beat.
Years of their efforts, all destroyed because of Lin Zhiyi’s one outburst.
Mother and daughter were swept out of the door, and even their gifts were returned.
This was a complete disgrace in their social circle.
Old Mr. Gong silently looked at Gong Shiyan, wanting to speak but held back.
Gong Shiyan gracefully stepped back, “Dad, Zhiyi and Xiao He are both frightened; I’ll take them back first.”
Old Mr. Gong grunted, but his gaze remained on Gong Shiyan.
Once everyone had left, he looked down at the pictures sent by Lin Zhiyi.
They showed Gong Shiyan being plied with drink at a table, the Gong Family’s Second Young Master in such a humiliating position facing his clients.
The next picture was after Gong Shiyan had been drunk, Qin Shuang had him thrown into a trash room; her smug face also captured.
In reality, Liu He fared even worse than Gong Shiyan, but Lin Zhiyi knew Old Mr. Gong wouldn’t care about Liu He, but Gong Shiyan was different.
Especially after hearing the recording and then seeing the pictures, the shock was like Qin Shuang slapping his face directly at the table.
He couldn’t bear to see Gong Shiyan be not clever enough in business, but he also couldn’t allow others to humiliate his son so.
Old Mr. Gong sighed and summoned the butler.
“Second hasn’t always wanted the black-and-white jade chessboard in the storeroom? Have someone send it over, and pick out a couple of jewelry sets suitable for Liu He. Fire all the maids who gossip.”
“This… Old Master, just the night before last, Third Young Master had already dismissed two maids, and if we dismiss more today, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find replacements in short order,” the butler said, troubled.
“Why did he dismiss two maids all of a sudden?”
“Third Young Master said they too were gossiping,” the butler replied.
Old Mr. Gong furrowed his brows and said no more.
…
Outside the gate.
Song Wanqiu cried tearfully and began to explain at once, “Third Young Master, I didn’t mean those words, I… I was drunk, that’s why I spoke nonsense, I really don’t know why I would do such a thing.”
Gong Chen looked down, “Didn’t you say they were fabricated? How come now you’ve changed your story to being drunk?”
“I, I…”
“I don’t care,” Gong Chen said coldly.
“Really?” Song Wanqiu’s spirits lifted, she knew Third Young Master loved her, “Third Young Master, I…”
