Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 585

Chapter 585: Chapter 585: A Dead Person

Upon hearing the woman say the perfume was a special blend by Yang Jingwei, Liu He widened her eyes and said it was impossible, then fainted.

Lin Zhiyi immediately called for a doctor.

After examining her, the doctor advised, "Try to keep the patient relaxed and don’t overthink."

Gong Shiyan nodded repeatedly.

His gaze signaled everyone to leave, allowing Liu He to rest properly.

After leaving the room, Gong Shiyan’s face was tense.

"Zhiyi, go to the villa and find your mom’s perfume, to determine if it’s the same as the one you smelled on Mrs. Bai."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi also felt it was imperative to clarify this matter.

Yang Jingwei’s animosity towards her and Liu He obviously had other factors mixed in.

As Ren Xiya was leaving the hospital, she received a call from the police station.

"Gong Yao wants to meet me; it seems he wants to negotiate."

"What do you plan to do?"

Lin Zhiyi knew well that the old man would never allow Gong Yao to go to jail.

Ren Xiya remained calm: "Since he wants to talk, it depends on the conditions he’s offering."

She also knew the old man would go to any lengths to save Gong Yao.

Rather than a lose-lose situation, it was better to choose a favorable condition.

They split up; Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Chen into the car towards the villa.

On the way, Lin Zhiyi turned to look at Gong Chen: "Why don’t you let me tell everyone about the woman beside Bai Zhengxian who resembles me?"

Gong Chen spun his ring and said calmly: "It’s not a deliberate secret, but now is not the right time. Your mom and second brother will worry about you; do you think your mom has the extra energy to be distracted?"

Lin Zhiyi nodded, agreeing.

"But I don’t understand, Mrs. Bai should hate me, so why does she always target my mom without regard for her status? Just to provoke me?"

Gong Chen’s eyes darkened slightly.

"What if we look at it from another perspective? Because of Bai Ruoshu’s and President Bai’s relationship, we all think Mrs. Bai hates you, and your mom is merely collateral damage."

"But Mrs. Bai handles everything about you impeccably, except when facing your mom, she shows none of the demeanor expected from a lady of a prestigious family."

Indeed.

Back then, Song Wanqiu’s mother, Qin Shuang, even with her hatred towards Lin Zhiyi, would never dirty her own hands.

She would always pay others to do the tasks.

In contrast, Yang Jingwei seemed filled with intense contradictions.

Lin Zhiyi snapped out of her thoughts, refocusing.

"Are you saying Mrs. Bai hates my mom?"

"Or perhaps she does hate you, but she hates your mom even more." Gong Chen rephrased.

Lin Zhiyi felt uneasy but couldn’t find any clarity.

Just then, she tilted into Gong Chen’s embrace.

He held her hand firmly, his warm palm soothing her skin.

"Don’t worry."

"Okay."

Arriving at the villa, Lin Zhiyi headed straight to Liu He’s dressing room.

She found the perfume bottle at the back of the cabinet and sprayed a little in the air.

The descending mist carried a very special orchid scent.

It instantly calmed one’s mind, making people unconsciously look at the person wearing the perfume.

Lin Zhiyi moved closer to smell, focusing intently, and nodded to Gong Chen.

"It’s this scent, without a doubt. But if it’s a custom perfume, how could it be identical?"

Even without using perfume, she knew that in perfumery, even a slight change in formula could alter the scent.

For it to be exactly the same, one would need the formula.

Gong Chen examined the perfume bottle; it was very ordinary, without any brand marking.

"Did your mom ever mention where this perfume came from?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
