Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 868

Chapter 868: Chapter 868: She Sold Him Out

"Miss Lin, do you have any ideas?" Captain Xing asked.

"My younger brother hasn’t participated in the ancestral rites yet. The Gong family’s children must partake in the ancestral rites a hundred days after birth. It was delayed because the child was born prematurely, but the banquet has recently been held, so it’s time to schedule it. This is a big deal for the Gong Family. Since Gong Yao has been spreading the word that the old master’s health is excellent, he cannot evade this matter. Otherwise, it would raise suspicions."

Lin Zhiyi said this as she looked at Gong Chen.

Gong Chen nodded approvingly.

"I can have someone spread the word that the old master’s health is declining. Gong Yao will definitely have the old master personally host the ancestral rites to dispel the rumors."

Captain Xing nodded, then shook his head.

He expressed his confusion, "Isn’t the reason Gong Yao gives the old master this kind of medicine to have the old master die of a heart condition? Why prove he’s in good health? If you claim he’s unwell now, even if he dies, no one would suspect."

Gong Chen explained, "Gong Yao still needs him to win over others, so until his plan is completed, he won’t let anything happen to the old master. The ancestral rites are the best opportunity for the old master to prove his good health. Besides, the old master’s death from a heart condition still needs a triggering reason."

As for what the reason is, Captain Xing didn’t need to ask to know.

He glanced at Gong Chen.

What could be more gratifying for Gong Yao than having the old master die at Gong Chen’s hand?

"Then let’s do it this way. We will deploy our plans here as quickly as possible."

After the conversation, Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen left the office.

Lin Zhiyi checked the time, "I’ll head back to the studio first."

Gong Chen, upon hearing this, sensed she was still upset and reached out to hold her.

"Zhiyi."

"What else does Third Young Master want to say?"

Lin Zhiyi folded her arms across her chest, waiting for him to speak.

Gong Chen explained, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have kept it from you. But I really didn’t want to involve you."

After a few seconds of eye contact, Lin Zhiyi believed he was sincere.

She uncrossed her arms, unable to maintain her hard demeanor.

"Third Young Master, you’re already involved. How could I stay out of it? I don’t want to be like a headless chicken when something happens to you."

Gong Chen took her hand. "Alright."

"Let’s go, talk to my mom and uncle about the ancestral rites."

After that.

They went together to Liu He’s villa.

The discussion went smoothly, with Gong Chen and Gong Shiyan leaking news online that the old master’s health was poor, thus delaying the child’s ancestral rites repeatedly.

Many began to doubt the recent rumors of the old master regaining his youth.

"He’s so old, how could he possibly regain his youth?"

"Not arranging such an important event as his grandson’s inclusion in the family tree, he must be really unwell."

The news spread quickly, and before long, the old master had someone send out a message that a favorable day would be chosen for the child’s inclusion in the family tree.

It’s obvious that Gong Yao communicated this news on behalf of the old master.

...

At the Gong Mansion.

Liu He and Gong Shiyan were busy with the child’s ancestral rites.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhiyi was with the child, looking for opportunities, but she had been sitting for over an hour without seeing the old master.

Not even seeing the butler.

Instead, there were a few unfamiliar maids around her.

She stood up with the child, planning to go for a walk.

Just as she reached the door, a maid raised her hand to block her.

"Miss Lin, everyone is busy right now. You shouldn’t wander around with the child."

Lin Zhiyi looked at her and retorted, "The sunshine is so nice right now, it’s the perfect time for a child to take a walk. The doctor also said the child should get more sunlight. Are your words more effective than the doctor’s?"

The maid pursed her lips but still didn’t lower her hand.

Lin Zhiyi smiled, "I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Why don’t you accompany us for a stroll?"

Only then did the maid let them through.

Lin Zhiyi placed the child in the stroller and slowly pushed it out.

The outside was indeed busy, just as the maid had mentioned.

Lin Zhiyi asked, "Where is Third Young Master? Is he busy too?"

"Third Young Master and Second Young Master are in the ancestral hall. The old master entrusted today’s banquet to Fourth Master."

As she said this, the maid sounded inexplicably proud.

Lin Zhiyi glanced at her and found that she was very young.

Her hands were even more delicate than Lin Zhiyi’s, not like those of a maid at all.

Looking down, the maid wore a pair of small sheepskin shoes.
