Chapter 249 I Thought I Saw a Ghost
Gong Chen glanced at the person on the ground and said, "Moving in and out again, I can see that it's hard for you."
As he spoke, Chen Jin handed over a few photos.
The photo shows a man struggling to carry an empty box.
The bottom of the box was obviously thicker than other boxes of fruit, which showed that someone had tampered with it.
Before the old man could retort, the next photo popped up.
It was a surveillance video of a man selling skin care products. The man was too lazy to even remove the wedding character that was pasted on the products.
Gong Chen's eyes darkened, but he still showed no emotion: "Just a reminder, he also stole five genuine bracelets to pay off his debts."
Bang!
The old man slapped the table hard: "Gong Chen!"
Gong Chen straightened his suit and stood up: "Dad, let me handle it. After all, you are the one who makes the decisions at home."
"I go first."
After saying this, he walked out of the restaurant.
The old man's pupils were horrified: "You! You knew it a long time ago, right? You waited until now to speak, is it because..."
Gong Chen neither admitted nor denied it and just left.
The old man was so angry that his chest heaved and he was about to fall, so the butler hurried forward to support him.
"Don't be angry. I'm sorry. It's my fault for not doing my job well. I didn't know this kid would..." the housekeeper said fearfully.
The old man glanced coldly at the person on the ground and grabbed the butler's arm: "Deal with it."
"Yes."
The butler nodded and looked at the bodyguard at the door.
Soon the people on the ground were dragged out.
After a moment of calm, the housekeeper said cautiously: "Lin Zhiyi can't be found, do you still want to take action? In fact, since the Third Master is determined to marry Miss Sang, Lin Zhiyi is no longer a threat."
The old man sat down and held his forehead with his hand, looking solemn, "You don't understand. He is the only son of Xiaoyi and me. I taught him since he was young that he should not be trapped by love. It's okay to play with women, but the one you marry must be useful to you."
"When he was with Song Wanqiu, I turned a blind eye because he didn't have any feelings for her."
"I thought that a woman like Sang Ran with such good conditions would satisfy him, but I didn't expect that..."
"He's totally crazy!"
When he thought of this, Mr. Gong swept all the dishes on the table, making a mess.
The housekeeper quickly handed the old man a towel to wipe his hands and asked respectfully, "What should we do next?"
The old man took a deep breath, wiped it vigorously, and said with a sinister look in his eyes: "Go and bring Liu He back. With her here, Lin Zhiyi can't get away."
"Yes."
……
villa.
Lin Zhiyi was standing in the kitchen making breakfast when a man's deep voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Why did you drive away the babysitter I found?"
She was slightly startled and her hands shook as she poured the milk, but she quickly calmed down.
She wiped off the spilled milk and turned to look at the tall and slender man at the door.
"Because I don't want others to look at me as a bitch. Is that a good enough reason?"
After saying that, she walked out of the kitchen with milk and a few slices of bread.
Gong Chen narrowed his eyes and grasped her wrist.
"speak nicely."
"Uncle, I am this kind of person."
Lin Zhiyi answered him with the same words.
Gong Chen looked at her obscurely, his dark eyes were dangerous and surging.
He directly took the milk bread from Lin Zhiyi's hand, turned around and pulled her to the dining table.
"I brought you another breakfast."
Lin Zhiyi took a look and saw that the table was full of her favorite snacks.
But now seeing these, there was no joy in her eyes, she just nodded obediently.
"Ah."
She sat down, opened the box and started eating.
One bowl, two bowls, three bowls...
Gong Chen suddenly held her hand and looked at her motionlessly: "Stop eating."
Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "Okay."
She wiped her mouth and put her hands on the table, like a robot waiting for the next instruction.
The man saw through her thoughts and raised his lips in a light mockery: "What's the point of you doing this? Even if you stay like this for the rest of your life, I can keep you."
As he spoke, he raised his fingertips and rubbed away the food residue on her chin.
Just this kind of touch made Lin Zhiyi start to retch, and he immediately stood up and rushed into the bathroom to vomit.
"vomit!"
Even Chen Jin, who was standing at the gate, heard the sound.
He walked in and looked at Gong Chen with a worried look.
"Third Master, this is it..."
"It's okay, she will get used to it." Gong Chen said coldly.
Chen Jin was speechless.
Lin Zhiyi hid in the bathroom and kept rinsing her mouth and washing her face until her face turned red before she calmed down.
She looked at herself in the mirror and let the water droplets slide down. She could no longer tell whether it was water or tears.
She leaned against the sink and tried hard to regulate her breathing.
No, she couldn't do that.
She didn't want to be trapped here any longer.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhiyi wiped the water off his face and walked out of the bathroom.
At this time, Gong Chen was standing on the corridor outside the living room, with one hand in his pocket and a cigarette in the other hand, but he didn't smoke, letting the white smoke drift away in the wind.
Lin Zhiyi opened the door and walked to his side, following his gaze to the world in the corner of the garden.
If Xingxing were here, she would be waving a shovel right now.
Gong Chen lowered his eyes to look at her, then reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her.
"Still uncomfortable?"
"Much better." Lin Zhiyi did not struggle and leaned against him quietly.
Gong Chen held her hand for a moment, stared at her for a long time before saying, "Let Li Huan come over to take a look at you this afternoon."
Lin Zhiyi nodded: "Okay, then will you stay?"
"You want me to stay?" Gong Chen slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, blurring the deep understanding between his brows.
"what ever."
Lin Zhiyi turned around and was about to leave.
But the hand around her waist tightened and pulled her back.
"Liu, what do you want to do?" The man leaned over and put his lips to her cheek and spoke in a deep voice.
"I want to grow some vegetables. Can you help me cultivate the land?" Lin Zhiyi pointed to the garden.
"..."
This really stumped Gong Chen.
Although he has always taken care of himself abroad, how can he reclaim land?
Lin Zhiyi tilted his head: "Third Master, you don't know how to do it?"
Gong Chen put out his cigarette, and his coldness faded a little: "Don't call me uncle anymore?"
"Uncle."
"You really know where to poke." Gong Chen raised his eyebrows, "Ask Chen Jin to send some tools over later."
"Yeah. Don't forget to buy some seeds. Maybe we can have vegetables to eat next spring."
"Next year?" Gong Chen's voice was clear and mellow, like the gurgling sound of a melting ice spring beating against his heart.
Nice sounding and comfortable.
Lin Zhiyi nodded: "Yeah."
in the afternoon.
When Li Huan entered the door, he heard the sound coming from the garden.
"Do you know how to do it? The trap you set is even less reliable than the cakes painted by the liar."
"Lin Zhiyi, come here, I promise not to hit you."
"I'm not going. The internet says that men are petty, which means that's small."
"Huh. Where?"
Listening to the conversation, Li Huan took a few steps back and looked at Chen Jin.
"Did I enter the wrong chapter? Assistant Chen, please help me recall it."
Chen Jin sighed: "I thought I saw a ghost."
