Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698: Chapter 698: I Want to Go Home

Gong Yao was speechless and could only stand silently beside the old master.

The old master took a deep breath, "How about the Bai family’s mother and daughter?"

Gong Yao whispered, "They got away. This Mrs. Bai is unusual; she actually got President Bai and Second Master Bai to take all the blame."

Upon hearing this, the old master squinted his eyes.

"That woman is ruthless. This cruise incident, I wouldn’t believe it if you told me she had no hand in it. Be cautious, but don’t be too ruthless. Keep in touch with Bai Ruoshu."

"Why?"

Gong Yao had no desire to get entangled with the Bai family again.

The old master said, "The mother and daughter are still useful. Do you have a better plan?"

"Yes."

"Go back then."

The old master got up and dismissed Gong Yao, turning to enter the room.

After a while, the butler came in carrying a bowl of Soothing Soup.

The old master looked at him and instructed, "Look into Yang Jingwei thoroughly."

The butler exclaimed, "Wasn’t she the one who informed you about Second Master Bai’s identity in advance? Are you planning to get rid of her?"

"No, I think she can be very useful."

"Understood."

...

At the Bai family.

The dishes on the table had gone cold.

Yang Jingwei had all of it taken away, heated some soup, and brought it to the door.

"Ruoshu, stop looking. No one will come."

"Mom! Do we have nothing left?"

The always haughty Bai Ruoshu finally realized fear.

"How could that be? You don’t need many connections, just useful ones."

Yang Jingwei handed her the bowl and continued, "Don’t catch a cold, quickly drink some hot soup."

Looking at Yang Jingwei, who had always protected her, Bai Ruoshu snuggled into her embrace.

She became very vulnerable.

Now she had no illustrious background, no title of a genius designer, almost all the glamour was out of her reach.

"Mom, I only have you now."

"Yes, you only have me. I’ll protect you well."

Where Bai Ruoshu couldn’t see, Yang Jingwei was smiling.

Now all of this finally belonged to her.

After comforting Bai Ruoshu, Yang Jingwei went into the study, and shortly after, her assistant knocked and entered.

"Madam..."

"Hmm?" Yang Jingwei looked up, slightly displeased.

"President Yang, the company is almost ready, and Miss’s assets are nearly all transferred to your name, but..."

"What’s the matter? There are no obstacles now, can’t you handle such a small task?"

"It’s just that we suddenly have a strong competitor. They immediately took away the cooperation we had previously secured, and they are pressing us hard," the assistant said helplessly.

Yang Jingwei got up and started pacing.

"Who is it? Who could establish a company as large as mine in such a short time?"

"The Jiang family, which is Third Young Master’s mother’s family. They are also the family of the twins the old master wants to deal with. But the Jiang family is sparse now, only leaving these twin heirs," the assistant explained.

Yang Jingwei stopped by the window as it started snowing again outside.

"No wonder the old master wants to get rid of the twins; it seems there’s a tough battle ahead."

"President Yang, the lawyer said Fang Sisi has seen Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin, and asked how you would like to handle it," the assistant asked again.

"Fang Sisi is useless now, but I know she’s unwilling to give up. Give her a hand and let her deal with the Jiang family for me. Do they think a pair of kids can compete with me?"

"Understood, I’ve got it."

The assistant turned and left.

...

When Gong Chen returned to the room, he found Lin Zhiyi wrapped in a blanket, sitting by the window.

Upon hearing the sound, she turned her head, her eyes slightly red.

"It’s snowing."

"What’s wrong?"

Gong Chen approached, squatting in front of her to inquire.

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, "I thought you’d be like before again..."

Before she could finish, Gong Chen pulled her into his embrace.

"I won’t, I’ll never leave you alone again like before. I just went to his courtyard to greet as per the rules, and I didn’t tell you so as not to wake you."

Listening to Gong Chen’s explanation, Lin Zhiyi worried, "Did he argue with you?"

"Just exchanged a few words, in one ear and out the other."

Lin Zhiyi chuckled, "Even Third Young Master would be so perfunctory."

"Some things just need to be done perfunctorily."

Gong Chen rubbed Lin Zhiyi’s palm.

Lin Zhiyi glanced at him, this man was getting more and more flirtatious.

"Understood." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
