Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 817

Chapter 817: Chapter 817: Too Late

As the stalemate continued, Mrs. Jiang, Zhong Min, stepped forward.

"Gong Chen, let your father go back first. Zhiyi and Xingxing were frightened."

Gong Chen’s cold gaze swept over Zhong Min.

"So you knew too?"

"..."

Zhong Min was left speechless, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Gong Chen said, "No one leaves until we clear up these matters today."

Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Gong frowned, grasped Gong Yao’s arm tightly, and prepared to leave.

As he turned, he was blocked at the door by Chen Jin.

"Sir, please."

"You all..." Old Mr. Gong snorted coldly and turned to Gong Chen.

His expression was furious: "Now even my own son is disregarding me? Fine! Fine indeed!"

"Since you want to know so much, let’s clarify what happened back then!"

"But why don’t you ask your uncle whether he dares to talk? Does he really think no one knows what he did?"

While speaking, Old Mr. Gong pointed a finger at Old Mr. Jiang.

Old Mr. Jiang’s face turned an unusual red, losing all his usual composure.

"What nonsense are you spewing now? You’re trying to sow discord!"

"Discord? Fine, then explain why Xiaoyi had to get pregnant? She already had two children under her name; these two sons aren’t much to me, but they’re loyal and obedient to her, even without blood ties, they’re the closest to her! Why did she risk her life to give birth to Gong Chen?"

Old Mr. Gong pushed Gong Yao aside and approached Old Mr. Jiang.

The pressure in the room continued to drop.

Even Lin Zhiyi stepped back with Xingxing.

She contemplated the trio’s dialogue, utterly at a loss,

whether in past lives or this one, her memory contained little about Gong Chen’s mother.

Like most people, she believed Gong Chen’s mother’s death, aside from the toll pregnancy took on her aged body,

was primarily due to Old Mr. Gong’s infidelity, leading to unresolved despair.

Is there more to this story?

How does it relate to the Jiang Family?

Lin Zhiyi looked at Fu Shu, who shook her head while cradling a child, indicating she knew nothing of the inside story.

If that’s the case... Lin Zhiyi immediately gave her a meaningful look.

Fu Shu quickly exited the parlor with Fu Bin, closing the door tightly.

Some things, the less outsiders know, the better.

Lin Zhiyi glanced down at Xingxing again.

Xingxing, perceptive, went to play at the edge of the hall.

Lin Zhiyi raised her eyes to look at Gong Chen, whose upright silhouette appeared particularly lonely.

She slowly stepped forward, startled by Old Mr. Gong’s furious voice.

"Why the silence? Is it because you don’t dare to speak? If you won’t, I will."

"It was your idea for Xiaoyi to get pregnant!"

"I’ve been married to her for decades and never forced her to have a child, but you compelled her to see a doctor, made her take medicine, injected her, and let her risk her life to get pregnant."

"Don’t think I don’t realize the plan you were executing; you had Xiaoyi give birth to Gong Chen just for Gong Chen’s future!"

"Though I’m heartless and unkind, you’re no better! She was the one who paid the price for your failure!"

Old Mr. Jiang’s eyes widened in shock, gritting his teeth, "Shut up!"

Old Mr. Gong ignored his attempt to stop him and approached Gong Chen.

"Gong Chen, there are plenty of women willing to bear children for me. Why would I force your mother? Even if she wasn’t a daughter of the Jiang Family, she was still Mrs. Gong. Who would dare treat her poorly?"

The old man spoke arrogantly.

Yet he wasn’t wrong.

No matter what people whispered behind her back, no one dared to say anything about Mrs. Gong doing poorly.
