Chapter 145 Killing and Punishing the Heart
In fact, when she met Gong Chen again after her rebirth, Lin Zhiyi was very clear that with her current abilities, she was not qualified to fight him.
She could only start from her surroundings, thinking that by fighting her way out step by step, she would be able to avenge Xingxing one day.
But she still overestimated herself. It turned out that every step she took was under Gong Chen's control.
It's all a scam!
Lin Zhiyi got into the taxi in a daze, her body as stiff as a dead tree. She didn't come to her senses until the driver called her several times.
"Miss, where are you going?"
"Guanquan Street."
She was unable to speak, and as she watched the scenery receding outside the car window, a pain in her chest gradually rose.
Finally, it hung in her eye sockets, making her vision blurry.
Before she fell weakly, she raised her hand and bit the back of it hard, suppressing all the inappropriate emotions.
Arriving at the destination, Lin Zhiyi quickly got off the car and went to a tea shop.
The clerk took out a set of the twelve zodiac tea pets she ordered.
Mr. Gong loves drinking tea and also likes to raise tea pets.
Although he has no shortage of precious tea pets, she must have this intention.
Even if he won't look at it much.
Carrying her things, Lin Zhiyi took a taxi to go to Gong's house. When she passed the glass door outside the store, she saw the scarf around her neck.
She raised her hand and gently stroked the scarf. It was so soft and warm, but it felt like a shackle that trapped her.
Lin Zhiyi looked around and walked in a certain direction.
……
Palace house.
After Lin Zhiyi got off the car, she looked at the towering gate in front of her and was about to swipe her card when she remembered that she had returned the card a long time ago.
She knocked on the security room door somewhat awkwardly.
One of the security guards had a good relationship with her and was always polite when he saw her coming.
"Ms. Lin, you're here. Come in quickly, the eldest wife and the eldest young master are back too."
He smiled, opened the door on the sidewalk, and invited Lin Zhiyi in.
"Thank you."
Lin Zhiyi thanked him, took a few steps, then suddenly thought of something and went back to call the security guard.
"The eldest wife and the eldest young master are here too?"
"Yes." The security guard nodded.
"Did the old man specially call you back for dinner?" Lin Zhiyi asked casually.
"Well, I saw that the kitchen had someone send back a lot of food in advance."
Suddenly, Lin Zhiyi felt that this meal was not simple.
But the matter between Chen Sulan and Gong Yan, after all, is an internal matter of the Gong family.
Why did the old man ask her, an outsider, to come?
Lin Zhiyi frowned and thought for a few seconds, then asked, "Is the Third Master back?"
"not yet."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi took out a sealed bag from her bag and handed it to the security guard.
"Please give it to him when he comes back."
"no problem."
The young security guard didn't ask any questions, took the things and went into the security room.
Lin Zhiyi shrank her neck, buried half of her face in her scarf, and walked towards the mansion quickly with the gift box in her hand.
As she approached the restaurant, she heard the sound of teacups smashing inside.
Then came Mr. Gong's furious accusation.
"How dare you ask that? Your Chen family has caused such a big mess, why should you ask the Gong family to make up for you?"
Lin Zhiyi felt that it was not convenient for her to go in at this time, so she planned to leave and wait.
Unexpectedly, the housekeeper came over and called her, "Miss Lin, you are here."
It immediately alarmed everyone in the restaurant.
"Now that you're here, why don't you come in? What are you doing standing outside so stealthily?" Old Master Gong said unhappily.
Lin Zhiyi frowned and looked at the butler. He had his head half lowered and had no expression. She couldn't say anything and could only walk into the restaurant obediently.
In the hall, the old man sat on the armchair, his hands tightly gripping the armrests, his expression serious and majestic.
Chen Sulan and Gong Yan stood in front of him with their heads lowered, no longer having their previous smug look.
Standing on the other side were Gong Shiyan and Liu He, both of whom looked unhappy.
Liu He cautiously winked at Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi immediately handed over the gift box and greeted politely: "Grandpa, I'm sorry to bother you today. This is the gift I bought for you. I hope you like it."
"Well, it's a waste of money."
Mr. Gong glanced at the gift box and didn't care.
But Lin Zhiyi was very satisfied with himself for having established his own identity.
A guest should act like a guest, and this must never be crossed.
He waved to the butler, who handed the gift to the servant and took it away, without even bothering to ask what it was.
Lin Zhiyi had expected the old man's disregard, so she didn't feel anything.
She lowered her eyes and stood beside Liu He, continuing to act invisible.
The hall gradually became quiet, but the atmosphere became more tense.
Suddenly, Chen Sulan stepped forward, knelt at the old man's feet, and grabbed his sleeve.
"Dad, I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please help my family for the sake of our widowed mother and orphan."
Mr. Gong was a man who dominated the business world. He would be even more ruthless in the face of a loser's pleas for mercy. He raised his foot and kicked Chen Sulan aside.
"Look at what you have done! I warned you at the beginning not to think of using crooked means to support your mother's family. What great things can your good-for-nothing elder brother achieve?"
"You two are so good, you are betraying your parents! If the third brother hadn't seen through your plan long ago and played along with you, you would have stood on my head and acted wildly!"
After saying this, the butler quickly handed over the newly brewed tea to help the old man calm down.
When the old man picked up the teacup to drink tea, he glanced at Lin Zhiyi intentionally or unintentionally.
Noticing the old man's gaze, Lin Zhiyi still lowered his head, but his face had turned pale, and even his fingers were scratched from nervousness.
This was said for her to hear.
The old man and Gong Chen had long known that Gong Yan was using her.
What a good way to use the opponent's trick.
No wonder she was specially invited to come over for dinner.
Is there anything more heartbreaking than hearing with your own ears how you are being played around by others?
Gong Yan watched Chen Sulan fall, walked up to her and helped her up, staring at the old man with a hint of resentment.
"Grandpa, why are you doing this to us? Just because my dad is dead, we are not important, right?"
"Is this the attitude you have when talking to someone? If your mother knew she was wrong, she should kneel down and admit her mistake. As a grandson, you still want to commit treason? It seems that it is better not to have this Chen family!"
The old man glanced at Gong Yan coldly and sipped his tea slowly.
Having held a high position for a long time, he unconsciously exudes commanding authority in his words.
Gong Yan clenched his fists tightly and understood what the old man meant.
If you admit your mistake, you should act like you are admitting it.
If he wants to keep his position as the eldest son of the Gong family, he must bow his head, otherwise he will be submerged along with the Chen family.
Gong Yan raised his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, he clenched his teeth, and bent his knees in humiliation.
Chen Sulan's face turned pale. She disregarded her image and tried to pull Gong Yan away. She shouted to stop him, "No, no, you are the eldest grandson of the Gong family. You can't kneel! You can't admit it! It's not your fault!"
Gong Yan pushed her away and knelt on the ground with one leg.
Chen Sulan fell to the ground, trembling all over. Her tearful eyes glanced at the scarf around Lin Zhiyi's neck, and suddenly a fierce light flashed in her eyes, as if she had grasped the last hope.
She pounced on Lin Zhiyi like a madman.
"Bitch! I told you not to seduce men everywhere!"
"Dad! She's having an affair with the third child! It's all her fault!"
