Chapter 390: Concealing the Truth
After meeting the boss, Lin Zhiyi expressed her desire to stay in the B&B first.
The boss seemed to be frightened by the woman who committed suicide before, and seeing that Lin Zhiyi was alone, he looked at her strangely.
Not lustful.
He was afraid that Lin Zhiyi would get smelly in his B&B and no one would notice.
The boss kindly took Lin Zhiyi back to his other B&B which was not by the sea.
When he gave her the key, he also advised her: "You are so young and beautiful, you must be open-minded, there are many men in this world."
Lin Zhiyi repeatedly stated that she had no suicidal tendencies, but he just didn't believe it.
It was not until the next day when Lin Zhiyi signed the rental contract with the boss that the boss believed that she was really here to rent a B&B.
He also politely invited her to have breakfast with him.
After breakfast, Lin Zhiyi turned on tourist mode.
It was not until the sky matched the time abroad that she sent Liu He a lot of photos.
"Mom, I'm here. I'm sorry I didn't tell you to leave earlier. I didn't sleep well on the plane the whole night, and I have to adjust to the jet lag later."
"Is everything okay?" Liu He asked with concern.
"Very good, but I will be very busy recently and will not be able to contact you often."
Because he had the photos as a prelude, Liu He was not so cunning, so he didn't suspect anything at all.
The photo was photoshopped by Lin Zhiyi in advance with someone online.
In order to conceal her identity, she photoshopped hundreds of photos of different types.
When she saw the photos, she marveled at the development of technology and found almost no flaws.
At least deceiving Liu He shouldn't be a problem.
In fact, if Sang Ran didn't look for her, she would also plan to leave Sang Li.
The reason why Mr. Gong always wanted to kill her was besides Gong Chen.
He felt that she was not worthy of being on equal footing with them, and that being with Sang Li was a challenge to his authority.
She didn't want to implicate Sang Li, nor did she want to make it difficult for Sang Li to come between her and Sang Ran.
So leaving alone was the best decision.
Appearing at the airport with Sang Li was just a trick.
Now everyone thinks that she went abroad with Sang Li.
After two years, when everyone is sure that she will not return, I am afraid they will not even remember what she looks like.
While I was thinking, news about Liu He came again.
"It's okay. The most important thing is to have a good rest. Anyway, we have to be busy with the Qingming Festival ancestor worship for the Gong family recently."
Lin Zhiyi looked at the line of words and was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't I invite you?"
"The third brother sent a message last night saying that my husband and I would not attend, and he would not attend either. This morning he withdrew your uncle's suspension notice, and not only that, he promoted your uncle. I heard from the people in the house that the old man smashed a tea set worth millions."
"why?"
"The old man has already announced the list. Even if the third brother doesn't like the old man's behavior, he won't be so disrespectful. He directly sent a notice, making the old man lose face. Is he..."
Liu He didn't say anything else.
Lin Zhiyi knew what Liu He wanted to say.
Liu He felt that Gong Chen did this because she was forced to leave.
Lin Zhiyi looked up at the sunny beach and replied quickly.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"I see. This ancestor worship ceremony is a good opportunity to give him the things you left behind."
"Um."
Lin Zhiyi felt the sea breeze and her thoughts became a little confused.
What would Gong Chen think after seeing those things?
Never mind. It will all pass anyway.
After finishing the chat, Lin Zhiyi continued to travel around the area.
Since she has decided to stay, she must get to know it more deeply.
……
Palace house.
After the grand sacrifice, everyone walked around the garden chatting and laughing.
The garden with blooming flowers and sunshine has an indescribable beauty and prosperity.
Suddenly, the wind blew the branches and trees, and everyone stopped laughing and turned respectfully in one direction.
"Third Master."
Gong Chen said nothing and walked straight across the corridor.
Looking at the man's back as he left, some people began to whisper.
"Why do I feel that the Third Master is even more silent than before?"
"They say the first year of marriage is like honeymoon. How does he look like a newlywed?"
"Shh!"
Someone reminded me.
The two people who were talking saw Sang Ran, who was walking slowly behind Gong Chen.
After hearing this, Sang Ran gritted her teeth and maintained a smile.
At noon, everyone took their seats according to the seating arrangements.
Gong Shiyan and Liu He looked around before they saw their names in the corner.
Wen Qing just happened to walk in, glanced at the seat in front of him, then looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but sneer.
Gong Shiyan looked at Liu He helplessly: "If you feel uncomfortable, I will ask someone to send you back first."
Liu He smiled and said, "It's okay. Didn't we always sit on the roadside when we ate snacks before? It's quiet here. After all, you are from the Gong family. There's no need to embarrass everyone in this kind of situation."
Wen Qing chuckled disdainfully: "Second Madam is really sensible, but if there is no one who is an eyesore, I think Second Master should sit next to Third Master."
She raised her voice deliberately, and the people around her couldn't help laughing.
Liu He’s face turned pale and she held Gong Shiyan’s hand tightly.
Wen Qing stared at her face and said casually, "Why does the second wife look so bad? Are you sick? You must take care of yourself."
The important thing is to let Liu He drink more and then die without knowing it.
Gong Shiyan stopped Wen Qing and said, "Boss Wen, we are grateful for your concern."
The word "husband and wife" hits Wen Qing's sore spot.
Before she could retort, Gong Chen's cold warning came from behind her.
"Boss Wen, please be careful about your words and actions. This is the Gong family, not the Wen family. It is not the place for outsiders to point fingers at my second brother and his wife."
This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Wen Qing.
Everyone knows that Wen Qing considers herself Sang Ran's aunt and has a special status.
But now he has become an outsider in Gong Chen's mouth.
Wen Qing was in a state of disgrace, standing there with a sullen face.
"That's enough." Old Master Gong walked in slowly and said seriously, "Don't you know what day it is today? This is outrageous. Sit down, everyone."
After saying that, he sat down in the seat of honor.
Gong Chen stepped forward and looked at the servant: "Put the second brother and his wife next to me."
The old man put the tea he had just picked up on the table and said coldly, "Who dares?"
Gong Chen ignored the old man's words and looked at the servant.
The servant directly changed the seats for Gong Shiyan and Liu He.
Gong Chen raised his glass and said, "I have decided to promote my second brother to the position of vice president, and work with me to make Gong Corporation bigger and bigger."
"Gong Chen." The old man almost gritted his teeth as he uttered these two words.
His eyes were full of threats, as if telling Gong Chen that doing so would undoubtedly be a challenge to his authority.
Gong Chen just poured him more tea: "Drink some tea to calm your fever."
The old man knew that everything was heading out of control.
He knew the current situation and knew that if he made a big fuss he would only end up being laughed at, so he just drank his tea calmly.
Everyone sat down tacitly.
The atmosphere gradually relaxed as the delicious dishes were served.
At this time, the old man glanced at the butler who was serving him beside him.
The housekeeper understood and stepped forward to serve Sang Ran a bowl of black chicken soup.
"Third Madam, the old man had someone stew it specially for you."
Sang Ran thought of the old man's importance, so she happily accepted the soup: "Thank you."
The old man watched her drink the soup and said in a dignified voice: "Xiao Ran, you and Gong Chen have been married for so long, it's time to consider having a baby."
Sang Ran froze. She couldn't hear any negotiation in the old man's tone, but rather an order.
She looked up at the old man hesitantly, and saw in him the embodiment of patriarchy and male chauvinism.
The kindness he had shown her before instantly turned into power suppression.
Just when she felt embarrassed, Gong Chen said coldly: "You can't have children."
“I’ve had a vasectomy.”
