Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Gong Chen followed Old Mr. Jiang into the tea room.

Old Mr. Jiang got straight to the point: "Do you really want to marry her? You two are not suitable for each other at all."

"Then who am I suitable with? Song Wanqiu? Sang Ran? Aren't these the people you all think are suitable? But in the end, did anyone ask if I think they're suitable?"

Gong Chen spoke coldly, without restraint, stating his words bluntly.

Old Mr. Jiang looked at him and hesitated for a moment.

But he still felt that Lin Zhiyi was unsuitable.

"Even if we agreed, the Gong Family would not allow you to do this. You've just secured your position; do you really have to make it so that everyone will point fingers at your back?"

Gong Chen sat down properly and turned the ring on his finger.

"If my backbone is so easily broken, then I won't hold this position for long."

These words left Old Mr. Jiang speechless.

He sighed and sat down, pouring a cup of tea for each.

"You're grown now, and I can't control you, but I still hope you would think about Siyi and Xiao Xi."

"..."

Gong Chen held the teacup without speaking.

Old Mr. Jiang glanced at him: "Do you really think you can hide it from me? On the surface, it seems the Bai Family took the child, but the truth is someone from the Gong Family wants to eradicate. Even though you have a paper agreement with him, he has many ways to prevent you from getting married smoothly. Are you willing to wait, and is Lin Zhiyi willing to wait?"

He didn't like anyone associated with the Gong Family.

Even if Lin Zhiyi had no blood relations with the Gong Family.

If Gong Chen wasn't someone he watched grow up, he wouldn't like him either.

After all, if his sister had not insisted on giving birth to Gong Chen, she wouldn't have become weak and died young.

The tragedy of the Jiang Family began with his sister's marriage alliance with Old Mr. Gong.

In their youth, both families dined at the same table.

Every year during the New Year, the Jiang Family's dining rooms were filled with tables, always lively and enthusiastically hosting the Gong Family.

When did both families not have a joyful gathering until late night?

Unbeknownst to them, they treated the Gong Family as relatives, while the Gong Family viewed them as lambs to the slaughter.

For all his life, he could never forgive the people of the Gong Family.

Moreover, Lin Zhiyi was too beautiful, and wouldn't remain quiet for long.

Over the years, although Old Mr. Jiang had been abroad, Gong Chen had openly and secretly done many absurd things for Lin Zhiyi.

"She doesn't want to." Gong Chen stated directly.

"I knew she was a..."

"Uncle, I said she doesn't want to marry me now, I'm the one who doesn't want to wait." Gong Chen explained.

"How could she possibly refuse you?"

"If she really wanted to marry me so much, she wouldn't have used Sang Li to leave back then. After that night, she could have used the public opinion to force me to marry her, or secretly gave birth to the child to force my responsibility."

Old Mr. Jiang was stunned for a moment listening.

Gong Chen picked up the teapot and refilled Old Mr. Jiang's tea.

"Uncle, have you really understood her? Your evaluation of her is nothing more than based on her family background, haven't you suffered enough from this?"

Back then, making his mother marry Old Mr. Gong was based on this consideration, wasn't it?

The heir of a prestigious family wouldn't be too bad.

In the end, they almost faced total destruction.

Gong Chen continued: "If we could really choose the family we are born into, who wouldn't want a prestigious family background? And who could always be prestigious?"

"Zhiyi is not a perfect person, and neither am I."

"She and I, we're just right for each other."

"Wanting too much... would be counterproductive."

At this moment, the tea in Old Mr. Jiang's cup overflowed.

Staring at the spreading tea on the table, the old man sighed.

Gong Chen restrained his breath and said, "Zhiyi says she hopes that I take good care of Xiao Yi and Xiao Xi, our matters can be postponed."

Old Mr. Jiang was stunned on the spot.

"But Uncle, I am also a father now, I cannot let my daughter suffer grievances."

When mentioning Lin Zhiyi and his daughter, Gong Chen's eyes showed a gentleness that Old Mr. Jiang had never seen before.

This child never had gentleness since young.

"Forget it, you handle it yourself, but the matter with the Bai Family must be dealt with properly. This time it involves many people, just afraid they might secretly conspire against you in revenge."

"I understand." Gong Chen stood up, "Then, we'll leave for now."

"Leaving without finishing the tea? She can't be apart from you for a moment?" Old Mr. Jiang complained.

"It's me who can't be apart from her."

"..."

Old Mr. Jiang, at his old age, felt his teeth ache from hearing this, and waved his hand to quickly shoo him away.

...

Lin Zhiyi was chatting happily with Zhong Min.

Suddenly, a hand appeared at her waist, startling her.

Gong Chen sighed slightly: "Seems like I've come at a bad time, you're not worried about me at all."

Lin Zhiyi tugged at his arm, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"There are people."

"They're our people." Gong Chen said calmly.

On the side, Jian Xi pouted.

"Uncle, you're really shameless, acting coy at your age."

"I have thick skin."

Gong Chen had become much more humorous with the twins around.

Perhaps seeing that they didn't have parents, he, as their uncle, didn't want to put more pressure on them.

Jian Xi said: "Uncle, you get so mushy when you're around Aunt, it's hard to take."

Lin Zhiyi nodded in agreement.

He was indeed getting more and more mushy.

If he continues like this, when he's older, there's a word that's quite fitting for him.

Behaving irresponsibly at an old age.

Thinking about this, Lin Zhiyi was startled, she didn't expect to be thinking about things when they were old.

Before she could come back to her senses, the arm around her waist tightened.

"You nodded? You don't like mushiness? At home, aren't you quite..."

Lin Zhiyi stomped on his foot hard, and turned her head to glare at him.

Talking nonsense again.

There are children and elders around.

Their eyes exchanged back and forth, Jian Xi and Jian Siyi shook their heads continuously.

Xingxing comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm used to it."

Zhong Min patted her little face: "Our Xingxing is really cute."

Lin Zhiyi and Zhong Min chatted a while longer, then bid farewell to her and the twins.

Jian Siyi, wearing the necklace Lin Zhiyi gave her, said reluctantly: "Aunt, will you come again? And Aunt Chu, will you miss us?"

Lin Zhiyi took out her phone.

"Let's become friends, then I'll introduce you to Chu Yin. Whenever you miss us, you can reach us. But your Aunt Chu should be busy right now, when she has time, we'll get together for some good food."

"Okay."

Jian Siyi nodded and smiled.

...

On the way back home, Xingxing was still savoring.

"Mom, when can we again find brother and sister and grandmother to play?"

"This..."

Lin Zhiyi instinctively looked at Gong Chen.

Considering Old Mr. Jiang's attitude, he probably wouldn't want them to go again.

Gong Chen calmly said: "Uncle said as long as you want, you're always welcome. He just has a strong mouth."

"Alright, next time we'll bring Xiao Yi and Xiao Xi to our home to play."

Just as Lin Zhiyi finished speaking, Gong Chen's phone rang.

Whatever the other side said, Gong Chen's expression became a bit more serious.

"I understand, I'll get there as soon as possible."

After hanging up, he turned to Lin Zhiyi.

"Bai Ruoshu and Mrs. Bai have been released on bail."

"How could that be? They committed major crimes! It's impossible for them to get bail!"

Lin Zhiyi was full of disbelief.

Gong Chen said nothing.

Lin Zhiyi suddenly recalled Yang Jingwei's smile on the deck.

He didn't seem surprised at the Bai Family's outcome at all.

He even seemed to secretly sigh with relief.

"Could it be that they... still have a way out?"
