Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 884

Chapter 884: Chapter 884: I Have Someone to Take Care of Me

The people around turned to look upon hearing the sound.

This made Liao Yi’s face turn pale and then green, feeling deeply embarrassed.

"I, I..."

Gong Chen glanced at Chen Jin.

Chen Jin immediately turned to find the restaurant manager to explain the situation.

"Just sit down for now," Gong Chen said.

Liao Yi seated herself forcefully back into the chair, clutching a towel to vigorously wipe the soup off her body.

Thankfully she had worn a coat, otherwise her skin would have been scalded.

"Really unlucky." She complained and then explained, "I’m not saying Li Huan is bad, but his mom is just too unreasonable."

Lin Zhiyi also found it strange: "How did Mrs. Li end up like this?"

Gong Chen replied, "She’s sick."

"What illness?"

"Mental," Gong Chen said helplessly.

Liao Yi paused her wiping: "Mental illness? How can that be? She... to be honest, Mrs. Li is wealthy and free. Even though she lost a son, it was deserving at least Li Huan is good enough, right?"

"Liao Yi." Lin Zhiyi interrupted her.

Liao Yi pursed her lips and closed her mouth.

Gong Chen explained, "Li He’s death is just one reason. As one ages, many things become magnified in the mind, and now she only has Li Huan as her close relative, like driftwood in the ocean, particularly cherished."

Liao Yi complained, "But it can’t be like this, as if she’s suffering from delusion, grabbing anyone she sees."

Lin Zhiyi tugged at her sleeve, smiling: "I’ll gift you a set of clothes, don’t be upset."

"I’m not small-minded, I’m just worried for Miss Ren. With Li Huan’s mom like this, how will she manage in the future? You don’t know, I hear lots of gossip when I run the restaurant, mostly concerning mothers-in-law." Liao Yi said helplessly.

Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen.

Gong Chen frowned: "It’s not even at the stage of talk yet."

Lin Zhiyi suppressed her laughter.

This brother seems quite addicted to being involved.

She reconciled by saying, "Xiya has her own ideas. I believe Huanhuan will handle this well."

Liao Yi nodded: "It’s getting late, let’s head back. I’m feeling all sticky, it’s so uncomfortable."

Ending the dinner hastily, Lin Zhiyi called a cab for Liao Yi.

After seeing her off, she arrived in front of Gong Chen holding Xingxing’s hand.

"You and your friend’s relationships don’t seem too smooth."

"I’m luckier than him, I have someone to care for me," Gong Chen whispered.

Lin Zhiyi nudged him.

"Actually, Huanhuan is better suited for sponging, no, he can take both soft and hard approaches."

"I think he loves crispy rice, eagerly chomping whatever is tough." Gong Chen joked.

Phhpht!

Lin Zhiyi burst into laughter.

In the past, she wouldn’t have believed such words would come out of Gong Chen’s mouth in a million years.

Now, his aura has entirely changed.

At that moment, Xingxing held Lin Zhiyi in one hand and Gong Chen in the other.

Looking up, she said, "I also love crispy rice, it’s tasty."

Gong Chen replied seriously, "Who dares give you hard food, tell daddy."

"Why?" Xingxing asked puzzled.

"You’ll understand when you grow up..." Gong Chen said calmly.

Lin Zhiyi glared at him, "Third Young Master, stop talking nonsense."

"Alright." Gong Chen lowered his eyes, "Your mom is the head of the house now, I must listen to her."

"Heehee."

Xingxing tilted her head and laughed.

The three walked leisurely forward.

The night sky above was exceptionally dazzling.

...

The hospital.

Li Huan dragged Mrs. Li into the office.

He knew his mother’s condition wasn’t great, he took a deep breath, calming himself before speaking.

"Mom, why have you come?"

"If I don’t come, would you be spirited away by those unsavory women again? Are you going to end up like Li He for a woman?" Mrs. Li asked.
