Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Asking for More Is Just Too Much

Ren Xiya took off her gloves, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Her cool demeanor and long coat made her look very much like the imperious young lady from a TV drama.

Ren Xiya sat down next to Li Huan.

"What’s up? Not welcoming me?"

"Who would dare? Have you gone for a proper check-up? Don’t die in bed without anyone noticing," Li Huan remarked sarcastically.

During Ren Xiya’s hospital stay, Li Huan thought she was having a hard time, so he should take better care of her.

Then one day, when the door was pushed open.

Two young men were sitting on the bed, one touching her hand, the other her foot.

She didn’t even try to hide it.

Ren Xiya rested her chin in her hand, smiling at him.

"You’re so concerned about what’s happening on my bed? My bed’s big, there’s one more spot, want to try?"

"You... you... are unreasonable."

Li Huan was quite at a loss.

Lin Zhiyi hurriedly interrupted their bickering.

"Let’s eat hotpot and chat at the same time."

The table quickly became lively again.

Ren Xiya glanced across at Gong Chen, clicking her tongue: "Third Brother runs really fast, leaving me stuck at the company cleaning up Gong Yao’s mess. But Gong Yao’s also strange, after the incident he strongly supports Bai Ruoshu, when has Gong Yao been so sentimental and loyal?"

Gong Chen took a sip of tea, speaking lightly: "Looks like he hasn’t given up on collaborating with the Bai Family?"

He, Old Mr. Gong.

"How could he be wrong? Smart all his life, even as he ages he won’t admit stumbling, especially since the Bai Family’s cruise is genuine, risk and profit coexist, obviously he wants to take a gamble."

Ren Xiya picked a slice of beef, frowned at the sauce bowl.

Just as she decided not to eat, a freshly mixed sauce bowl appeared in front of her.

Li Huan continued eating without looking.

Ren Xiya smiled slightly and placed the beef into Li Huan’s bowl.

Their little interaction went unnoticed.

The conversation at the table continued.

Lin Zhiyi asked curiously: "Third Young Master said the Bai Family might be lacking money which is why they’re so eager, so where did the money for the cruise come from?"

"The cruise seems fine otherwise the old man wouldn’t hold onto it, just depends if the Bai Family can get through this crisis, if they manage it before the cruise launches, the Bai Family won’t fall," Ren Xiya explained.

Li Huan finished the beef and wiped his mouth.

"The Bai Family is strange all over, heard human trafficking is hugely profitable, not to mention two operating rooms for organ removal were found under an overseas art gallery. Logically, the Bai Family shouldn’t lack cash. Plus, the kidnapping case with Old Mr. Bai back then was also odd, still no suspect caught."

"I talked to my mom about it, she surprisingly knew too, said before the kidnapping case, the Bai Family and another victim were negotiating a major deal. The news was everywhere, some even said if the Bai Family could finish this deal, they might stand alongside the Gong Family in Jing City."

"Perhaps it drew too much envy, so they got kidnapped, in the end paid a ransom and still got killed."

At this point, Sang Li set his chopsticks down.

"Really? But my investigation says otherwise."

"What do you mean?" Lin Zhiyi looked at Sang Li in surprise.

Sang Li recounted: "Back then, the Bai Family was indeed in the spotlight, drawing attention from many companies, even Hai City heard of it."

"But such investments usually require prior inquiry, my dad’s friend had some interest then, so he specifically investigated the Bai Family’s strength."

"Discovered the Bai Family’s previous ventures had been losing money, just the accounts looked nice, investment risk was extremely high, so he didn’t follow the trend."

"Then the kidnapping happened, causing early investors to lose everything, end up bankrupt and ruined."

"Afterwards, my dad’s friend reevaluated the Bai Family’s assets, found Bai Zhengxian had quietly disposed of all ventures, leaving no assets to handle in the country."

"When the Bai Family left, reports soon appeared saying they were deeply affected leaving a place of sorrow. The kidnapping case thus was brushed over."

The hotpot on the table boiled fiercely, but no one spoke.

All were pondering which was true.

Lin Zhiyi thought deeply, feeling a headache, her vision blurred slightly.

She raised a hand to rub it, the news images in her dream flashed incessantly in her mind.

But they remained unclear.

Then she began to lose consciousness.

"Zhiyi, what’s wrong?"
