Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 1090: Playing Both Sides

It’s Gong Chen who controls everything from behind.

Gong Chen gave Chu Yin a set of women’s cosmetics and tools.

After understanding his intentions, Chu Yin couldn’t help but give Gong Chen a thumbs up.

"Third Young Master, you must feel exhausted fighting with Zhiyi?"

"..."

"Alright, alright, I’m not asking anymore."

Chu Yin quickly started styling herself.

Then came the current situation.

Bai Hui and Chu Wu’s plan succeeded, but neither of the two involved followed through with their private meeting.

Chu Yin said, "Is there still a problem now?"

Sang Li protected her and said, "If there’s still a problem, you can talk to me."

Everyone remained silent; in Hai City, no one dared openly contradict Sang Li.

After the matter was resolved, Jia Xin stood up.

"Since it was a misunderstanding, let’s all go downstairs and continue the banquet."

Mrs. Wei saw that things were not quite right and chimed in.

"Yes, today the Jia Family is hosting everyone just to gather, and it’s good now that the misunderstanding is resolved."

Chu Yin hooked her arm with Sang Li and smiled, "I have no issues, just don’t know how others feel."

As she spoke, she glanced across at Bai Hui.

Bai Hui smiled, "Let’s go."

Everyone dispersed, and Lin Zhiyi quickened her pace to reach Mrs. Dai.

Before she could speak, Mrs. Dai stopped, falling behind the people in front.

Mrs. Dai took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one.

"President Lin, you’ve calculated even me."

"Mrs. Dai, that’s a harsh statement. I just know one must be cautious, and wasn’t I cautious?" Lin Zhiyi fanned away the smoke in front.

The Mrs. Dai in front of her was the second odd point she mentioned.

Mrs. Dai’s previous friendly gestures had made Lin Zhiyi think she was rational and wise.

Now she sees that’s not all; she’s also cunning.

She’s a businesswoman, and her ideas of weighing benefits are her own.

Sang Li may have a large cake, but her influence cannot cut a big piece.

But it’s different in front of Bai Hui; she outweighs those small companies.

She holds positions on both sides, and for Mrs. Dai, she doesn’t offend anyone and still makes money.

Mrs. Dai exhaled smoke, "How did you find out?"

Lin Zhiyi said, "Bai Hui seems to have known early on that Mr. Sang would bring Chu Yin to the banquet, so when you texted me to be friendly, it was to confirm Mr. Sang was behind me. You also knew Chu Yin was my friend, then used this to be friendly with Bai Hui, coordinating the plan for today’s events."

Mrs. Dai laughed.

"Looks like I underestimated you."

"Mrs. Dai, one can’t have two meals from different places." Lin Zhiyi reminded.

"Haha, do you really think the world is just black and white? Sometimes don’t be so idealistic; everything exists for a reason." Mrs. Dai sneered.

Lin Zhiyi also smiled cooperatively.

"Mrs. Dai, if that’s what you like, but if you collaborate to calculate my friends, I won’t show mercy. Don’t let yourself be divided before the cake is served."

Mrs. Dai stopped smiling, continuing to smoke through the mist.

Lin Zhiyi advised, "Mrs. Dai, smoking is harmful to health, take care."

Mrs. Dai was taken aback.

Finishing the conversation, Lin Zhiyi left the fifth floor.

After going down a floor, suddenly the elevator door opened on the fourth floor, and a figure came in.

Gong Chen leaned lazily against the elevator’s handrail with one arm.

With the other hand, he pulled Lin Zhiyi into his arms.

"Resolved?"

"Mm. I just didn’t expect Mrs. Dai to do this." Lin Zhiyi sighed slightly.

"Her family can force such a powerful woman to marry in order to inherit property, it shows she can’t afford to make mistakes." Gong Chen said calmly.

Lin Zhiyi also understood Mrs. Dai’s difficulties.

But knowing how tough it is for women, why would she entrap another woman to achieve her goals?

Lin Zhiyi said, "I’m fine; I’ll be careful in the future, but Bai Hui surely knows other ladies are recruiting people."

Gong Chen laughed, "That might not be a bad thing; the people around Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Yang aren’t small forces. If they unite, the one to worry is Bai Hui. The more anxious, the more mistakes."

Lin Zhiyi felt at ease.

On the first floor, Gong Chen released her.

"I’ll wait for you in the car."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi walked out of the elevator; a lot of people were still discussing the earlier incident and hadn’t entered the banquet hall.

The leading person was the gossip-loving Mrs. Wei.

Lin Zhiyi hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly walked over.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yin was also approaching, and they exchanged a look, seemingly having thought of the same thing.

Lin Zhiyi called out, "Mrs. Wei, what are you chatting about?"

Chu Yin also asked, "Were you frightened by earlier?"

Mrs. Wei replied, "We thought you and President Yang were... It’s all because President Bai made it sound so real."

Lin Zhiyi pretended to pause, "Indeed, although I know Chu Yin, earlier I also thought Chu Yin and President Yang were..."

Chu Yin sighed, "It’s not your fault; I was surprised too. But I don’t understand, President Yang could be my dad, I get along well with Mr. Sang, why would I meet with President Yang privately? Everybody should’ve considered this, so why did you all go upstairs?"

Lin Zhiyi said, "President Bai kept reminding us that your going upstairs together was a coincidence; that’s why everyone let their imagination run wild."

Mrs. Wei nodded.

"Indeed, you’re so young, and Mr. Sang is successful and promising; you two match so well. We were worried and let ourselves be led by the nose."

Chu Yin asked perplexedly, "I have no grudges against President Bai, so why would she mislead everyone?"

Lin Zhiyi exclaimed softly, "Maybe it’s..."

As she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Wei.

Though Mrs. Wei might seem brainless in gossiping, she’s actually quite shrewd.

She understands much but does not speak out.

Seeing Lin Zhiyi’s expression, she understood what she was going to say.

There are no grudges between Bai Hui and Chu Yin, but Bai Hui and Mrs. Yang have long been at odds.

Mrs. Wei immediately smoothed things over, "A false alarm, it’s alright now, you should go in."

Chu Yin nodded, "Alright, Zhiyi, let’s go."

The two exchanged a glance and walked away.

Mrs. Wei then muttered with others.

Chu Yin walked some distance, then glanced back, saying softly, "Now everyone will know about President Bai targeting Mrs. Yang throughout Hai City."

Lin Zhiyi chuckled quietly, "President Bai has always looked down on Mrs. Yang, thinking she only revolves around men. This time, trying to set you up with President Yang shows her ulterior motives; we can just use it to our advantage."

Chu Yin said, "Zhiyi, I’m grateful to you this time."

"It’s nothing, where’s Mr. Sang?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

Chu Yin pouted, "Umm... Seems like Mr. Sang is angry."

"Oh, then you should try harder."

"You..."

Chu Yin almost didn’t know what to say.

Lin Zhiyi patted her shoulder and smiled, "Don’t worry, just coax him nicely."

Chu Yin clicked her tongue, "Zhiyi, I really didn’t expect to hear such words from you."

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t stop smiling, and was somewhat looking forward to how Chu Yin would soothe Sang Li.
