Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 582

Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Will You Still Love Only Lin Zhiyi?

When Ren Xiya mentioned the assistant, Gong Yao’s expression noticeably fluctuated.

He knew very well that continuing to argue would do him no good.

Gong Yao didn’t respond to Ren Xiya’s words, only looked silently at Old Mr. Gong.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.

His eyes moved slightly, then he turned to look at Ren Xiya.

"Enough!"

"Since you already have evidence, why bother coming here and making everyone embarrassed?"

"Where is your upbringing?"

All in all, the blame was still placed on Ren Xiya.

Although Ren Xiya had no familial affection for the old man.

Seeing him publicly show favoritism to Gong Yao, her heart was still deeply pierced.

She let out a cold laugh, slightly tilted her head.

"Save the lectures for when I’ve officially claimed my ancestry, Dad, don’t you think?"

The old man’s face was tense, yet he waved his hand to have the butler arrange seats for Ren Xiya and Ren Xue.

It was akin to silently acknowledging Ren Xiya’s words.

"Dad..." Gong Yao protested unwillingly.

The old man spoke in a serious tone, "Do you want her to accuse you of framing her? Luckily, the issue of hiring someone for murder has been resolved."

Gong Yao couldn’t refute, nodded and asked, "Then how should the announcement regarding identity be made?"

"You still want to announce it? To let others laugh at me? I told you long ago to learn more from Gong Chen; he never leaves such obvious evidence!"

The old man cast him a disappointed glance before sitting down.

Gong Yao clenched his fists but didn’t dare to defy.

He could only pretend to sit graciously under everyone’s gaze.

The dinner that followed was particularly silent.

Only a few people exchanged glances.

As the meal neared its end, a dish of rice balls in sweet fermented rice appeared at the table.

Liu He noticed that it was Lin Zhiyi’s favorite, didn’t bother to call the maid but stood up to serve it herself.

Across the table, Yang Jingwei glanced at it, her lips curled as she picked up a napkin to wipe her hands.

Seemingly casually, she turned to Bai Ruoshu beside her and said, "How could such street food make it to the table?"

Bai Ruoshu glanced lightly, chuckled softly and said, "Mom, it’s nice to try something different occasionally; everyone loves it. But..."

She lifted her gaze to look at Lin Zhiyi.

"But nobody eats it every day."

Yang Jingwei covered her mouth with a mocking laugh, "It can get tiresome."

The other Gong Family ladies at the table frowned while holding their bowls.

They all heard the thinly veiled mockery from the Bai mother and daughter. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Had it not been for the Gong Family’s numerous rules, especially in front of the old man, women’s rules were even stricter, they wouldn’t remain silent.

Eating whatever the Gong Family likes, who are they to interfere?

Having lived in the Gong Family for so many years, Lin Zhiyi instantly realized that the Gong Family’s ladies and daughters were smiling warmly, but their hearts were already filled with resentment.

She gave Liu He a knowing look.

Liu He continued serving the rice balls in sweet fermented rice.

"It truly is thoughtful of Lao San, keeping in mind the abundance of women in the family, they specifically adjusted the rice ball recipe for their benefit."

"A good thing is appreciated; otherwise, why hasn’t Lao San brought other snacks to the table?"

"Mrs. Bai, Miss Bai, don’t you agree?"

Yang Jingwei and Bai Ruoshu kept their lips tightly shut.

Liu He disregarded it and directly placed the rice balls in front of Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi handed it over to a Gong Family relative beside her.

"Sis, you don’t look well, you should eat first to warm yourself up."

Lin Zhiyi wasn’t clear on how to address collaterals.

So, among her peers, those older were all brothers and sisters.

The person paused for a moment, then nodded as she accepted it, "Alright."

She took a bite, stirred the spoon, and chuckled softly, "Mrs. Bai, maybe we should try the Bai Family’s dishes one day to broaden our horizons."

"Indeed, if the chef at home is truly that bad, it would be wise to dismiss him before the New Year’s feast embarrasses us," said one lady.

"We’re all eating as one family, eat whatever’s good, no need to be restricted," another lady chimed in.

Truly reminding the Bai mother and daughter that everyone at this table is part of the Gong Family.

It was the first time they stood united with Lin Zhiyi.
