Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 660

Chapter 660: Chapter 660: I Want to Marry Lin Zhiyi

Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Gong paused, a fluctuation in his eyes.

Gong Chen withdrew his gaze, speaking coldly, "Over twenty years ago when the Bai Family faced a crisis, it was you who colluded with several families to set a trap."

"Although times have changed, you’re not foolish. You must know the Bai’s concession is not out of goodwill. You plan to turn their own scheme against them and devour the Bai Family clean with others."

A thin camel is still bigger than a horse.

Even though the Bai Family has suffered from internal conflicts these past two years, their shady businesses have never stopped, and they still hold a lot of assets.

Besides money, there are more valuable things.

The leverage over Jing City’s powerful figures.

The yacht is the Bai Family’s desperate gamble, and it’s an opportunity in Old Mr. Gong’s eyes.

Like the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

The old man wanted to be that oriole.

So when the Bai Family suggested holding the engagement party on the yacht of the bride’s family, this head of the proud household agreed.

The old man had long noticed what kind of business the Bai Family was into, yet he chose to turn a blind eye.

Letting the Bai Family expand in Jing City, awaiting the final harvest.

Unfortunately, the Bai’s expansion was stopped by Lin Zhiyi.

The old man didn’t know what kind of inescapable net the Bai Family had set for him.

The above thoughts, Gong Chen did not express.

It’s not the time yet.

But a single sentence was enough to leave the old man stunned for a minute.

The next second, he burst into laughter.

"No wonder you’re my son! Is my idea not good? The Bai Family wants to become the second Gong Family, but they’re still too inexperienced. Together, we’ll bring everything into the Gong Family."

Gong Chen’s eyes were dark and cold as he sneered, "What leverage do they have over Gong Yao to make you this anxious?"

"Don’t talk nonsense. What if others hear? In any case, Ah Yao and Ruoshu’s engagement party must not go wrong!"

"What’s in it for me?"

Gong Chen noticed a flicker of unease on the old man’s face, and he knew the opportunity had come.

The old man was stunned for a moment.

Clearly didn’t expect father and son talks to involve interest exchange one day.

After thinking for a while, he sighed.

"What do you want?"

"I want to marry Lin Zhiyi," Gong Chen stated seriously.

"No way! Absolutely not! I will never allow such a woman to enter the Gong Family."

"I’m not negotiating with you, but stating conditions. It’s up to you."

Gong Chen looked indifferent.

He was aware that Lin Zhiyi preferred her current life.

Without the constraints of marriage and less interference from the Gong Family.

But he had to provide support for Lin Zhiyi.

Now and in the future.

Even if something might happen to him one day, Lin Zhiyi as his spouse, would be the first in line.

The office was eerily silent, occasionally punctuated by the sound of Gong Chen flipping pages.

The more patient he was, the more anxious the old man became.

During the standoff, the old man’s phone chimed.

He pulled out the phone, glanced at the screen, and his shrewd eyes narrowed, then he calmly put the phone down.

"Fine, I agree."

Gong Chen, prepared, took out a document and handed it to the old man.

"Sign it. If anything happens to me, you will acknowledge Zhiyi as my wife and let her inherit everything."

Faced with the prepared document, the old man was visibly angered.

"I still underestimated Lin Zhiyi, but... forget it, I’ll sign."

The old man quickly signed and then got up to look at Gong Chen.

"Hurry and send out the invitations."

After speaking, he left.

Chen Jin stepped forward, checked the document, and handed it to Gong Chen.

"Third Young Master, the old man really signed it. Looks like he can only accept it."

Gong Chen glanced at the signature.

The signature was quite free and easy.

"Really? He’s not the kind of person to do that."

After pondering for a few seconds, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed Lin Zhiyi.

Soon, Lin Zhiyi picked up the phone.

"Awake, have you eaten yet?"

"Just did. Are you headed for a meeting today? You seemed to leave quite early," Lin Zhiyi asked.

"Don’t move. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what might happen, for example... this."

As the voice fell, the oblivious Liao Yi didn’t notice a red dot appearing on the side of her head.

Lin Zhiyi rigidly turned her head, looking at the flashing object in the opposite high-rise.

The only comfort now was that Xingxing was watching her starry ceiling in the room, with the blackout curtains drawn.

This way, those in the opposite building couldn’t see Xingxing.

"Lin Zhiyi, calm down, there’s more excitement to come."

With a ding, Lin Zhiyi received a video message but it was silent.

The video seemed to be shot from a vehicle, judging by the height and the visible truck front.

In front of the truck was a black luxury sedan.

The car often used by Gong Shiyan and Liu He.

Today is Liu He’s prenatal check-up day, and Gong Shiyan would accompany her for sure.

"What would happen if the truck ran over them? If not death, they’d be severely disabled, and the child wouldn’t survive."

The voice was smiling, even slightly elated.

Then a second video came, showing the truck closer to the car.

In Lin Zhiyi’s mind replayed the images from the last life where Gong Shiyan and Liu He died in a car accident.

Even though the truth has been uncovered in this life, Liu He’s disfigured body was still vivid in her mind.

"What do you want?"

She knew asking this was the worst thing to do, but Lin Zhiyi couldn’t bother much at this point.

If Xingxing ran out, that would add another chip for them.

Liao Yi would be the first sacrificial pawn threatening her.

The other side chuckled lightly, "Find an excuse to go downstairs, then leave in the car I’ve arranged, no tricks. I can see everything, even if you so much as move your lips."

The reflection from the building across glittered.

Liao Yi sensed something, "Who is it? Playing with mirrors now?"

Seeing her trying to turn her head, Lin Zhiyi immediately interrupted.

"Liao Yi, I’m going down to pick up a package. If you’re full, go tidy up the study, don’t sit all day or you’ll have indigestion."

"Huh? Tidy up?"

Liao Yi was baffled, since when did she have to tidy up the house?

What’s more, the Third Young Master’s study—she wouldn’t dare enter.

She was about to retort when Lin Zhiyi had already left.
