"Chu Yin!"
Lin Zhiyi’s thoughts drifted for a few seconds, suddenly raising her voice.
Both Liao Yi and Gong Chen were startled.
Liu He paused: "It’s her, President Bai’s people specifically named to send the things to the program team for Chu Yin."
"Did she accept it?"
If Chu Yin accepted, it meant she agreed to President Bai.
Liu He hesitated and said: "Didn’t accept, returned all, but later President Bai bought her even more expensive things and she... accepted."
"Impossible!" Lin Zhiyi immediately denied.
"Zhiyi, I know you and Chu Yin have a connection, but in Chu Yin’s circles, without backing, it’s hard to rise. Mr. Sang isn’t interested in her, she definitely needs to find someone else, she’s in her twenties, she can’t spend her whole life stalled in it, right?"
Liu He spoke objectively, feeling Chu Yin acted out of necessity.
But Lin Zhiyi still didn’t believe it.
"Mom, don’t tell anyone about this, I feel there’s a misunderstanding somewhere."
"Zhiyi, what’s wrong with you? Acting all mysterious." Liu He questioned.
Originally, Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to tell her, but Bai Zhengxian had already extended his reach to her friends.
She had no choice but to warn Liu He to be on guard.
"Mom, look carefully again, who does Chu Yin’s appearance resemble?"
"You, I’ve said before Mr. Sang would find someone, actually found someone..."
Liu He’s voice was abruptly cut off.
Lin Zhiyi continued: "That woman who disappeared earlier also resembled me somewhat."
"How... how could this be?"
"Mom, no matter who from the Bai Family looks for you in the future, for whatever reason they approach you, you should ignore them." Lin Zhiyi advised.
"Okay, then what will you do?" Liu He worriedly asked.
"I’m beside the Third Young Master, they won’t dare do anything, or else they wouldn’t have sought Chu Yin."
After explaining, Lin Zhiyi hung up the phone.
She happened to meet Gong Chen’s probing gaze.
She helplessly said: "The woman President Bai sought is Chu Yin; my mom said Chu Yin has already accepted his things. I’m afraid she’ll act recklessly."
Gong Chen stood up: "Li Huan already sent the hospital and ward number where Chu Yin is staying; let’s go inquire for details first."
Lin Zhiyi was momentarily stunned, yet he thoughtfully considered it.
"Mm."
Liao Yi sensed the seriousness of the situation and immediately hugged Xingxing.
"You guys go ahead, I’ll stay home with Xingxing and also check online what’s going on with the variety show."
"Alright."
Lin Zhiyi looked at her gratefully and turned to leave with Gong Chen.
...
Hospital.
Chu Yin was on the phone with her head down.
"Are you insane? How dare you accept gifts worth hundreds of thousands? How am I supposed to repay?"
"People give them to you because they value you, your sister loves that bag, you should just give it to her." Her mother said indifferently.
"Do you not understand what I’m saying? How am I supposed to repay! Or are you going to repay?" Chu Yin asked through gritted teeth.
Her mother immediately retaliated: "Ayin, your sister is in poor health, how could she repay? As her older sister, you should just try a bit harder."
"Try harder? Do you understand the intentions behind his gifts?" Chu Yin questioned.
The originally cheerful voice on the other end suddenly vanished.
After a while, her mother stammered out.
"You’re now participating in a variety show, surely because you’re gaining popularity, they want to promote you."
"Mom! You know, don’t you?" Chu Yin asked suppressing her feelings.
"How would we understand these things? We know you’re becoming famous, that’s why people are sending things. We are just benefiting from your limelight, I’m praising you."
Lin Zhiyi had heard Chu Yin arguing with her family before entering.
It sounded like it was about the things Bai Zhengxian sent.
Though not clearly heard, Chu Yin’s tone made it evident she wasn’t a welcomed figure at home.
Chu Yin smiled ruefully: "I’ll think of something."
Lin Zhiyi handed over the phone: "I have a way to make your family obediently return the gifts."
Chu Yin listened with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
"You don’t understand them, as long as my sister desires something, they would grab it regardless of consequences, never caring about my feelings."
She spread her hands: "Everything I have has been taken away, anything you can think of."
As she spoke, the smile on her face became extremely desolate.
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t bear it: "Don’t worry, let’s let them taste the unknown means. Give me the numbers."
Chu Yin was half suspicious but still revealed her mother’s number.
Lin Zhiyi cleared her throat before dialing.
"Who are you?"
The voice on the other line was cheerful, starkly contrasting with Chu Yin’s bitterness.
Lin Zhiyi’s voice turned cold: "Chu Family, right? Are Bai Family’s gifts working well? You don’t want to be a clean woman, you prefer being a mistress, right? Want me to help publicize it for you?"
"You, you’re someone from Bai Family? You... Mrs. Bai?"
Lin Zhiyi neither confirmed nor denied, just coldly snorted.
Mrs. Chu immediately believed, hastily said: "It’s not my daughter, it’s Chu Yin! It has nothing to do with my daughter! My daughter is a good girl!"
This statement surprised Lin Zhiyi.
Wasn’t Chu Yin also her daughter?
How could she be so biased?
After hearing, Chu Yin lowered her head and smiled wryly, reluctantly but painfully.
