Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 333: The Woman in the Photo
Chapter 333: Chapter 333: The Woman in the Photo
Lin Zhiyi found Sister Zhou at the main entrance of the supermarket, who was watching the commotion.
"Zhiyi, are you okay? After I was squeezed out, I couldn’t squeeze back in," Sister Zhou said as she adjusted her disheveled skirt.
"I’m fine, I went through the side door," Lin Zhiyi explained.
"You’re foresighted. Let’s hurry back," Sister Zhou said, pulling out her phone to check the time, "Is it almost 1 o’clock? Let’s take a cab back. I specifically bought some ribs to make you a soup."
"Let’s just eat something simple; no need to go through all that trouble."
Lin Zhiyi felt that Sister Zhou was acting a bit peculiar today.
Not gossiping and being exceptionally thoughtful.
Sister Zhou supported her to the roadside to hail a taxi, murmuring, "We can’t be careless, your hand is still injured, you should nourish it well."
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but laugh and cry, but she followed her into the taxi.
On the way back, Sister Zhou pointed to the vegetables in the bag, discussing what delicious dishes she would prepare.
The more Lin Zhiyi listened, the more curious she became, "Sister Zhou, how do you know about so many dishes I love?"
Sister Zhou jerked a little and explained, "We’ve eaten together so many times, how could I not notice? I’m the gossip queen, nothing escapes my eyes!"
"Mm-hmm," Lin Zhiyi nodded.
Upon arriving at the residential area, Sister Zhou rushed to pay the taxi fare, and when she turned on her phone, her screen showed a receipt of 100,000.
Lin Zhiyi exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Zhou, did you win a jackpot?"
Sister Zhou hurriedly exited the screen and pulled Lin Zhiyi out of the car.
"About that... I’ve been working a lot of overtime lately, and we just finished the project, so it’s my bonus."
"Such a big company, and they transfer bonuses via WeChat? Do the boss and finance department no longer care?" Lin Zhiyi exclaimed in surprise.
"Shush, this is a private reward. I can’t talk about it," Sister Zhou whispered.
Lin Zhiyi nodded, giving an "I understand" look.
Sister Zhou worked incredibly hard, almost working overtime all year to meet project deadlines.
In thinking about it, a private reward of 100,000 was indeed what she deserved.
Sister Zhou pushed Lin Zhiyi into the elevator while secretly messaging someone behind her back.
’Home now.’
Once home, Sister Zhou told Lin Zhiyi to rest on the sofa while she went to the kitchen to cook.
While cooking, she chatted, "By the way, where is Mr. Sang? Why didn’t he come with you?"
Lin Zhiyi pinched the cushion, "His sister is getting married soon, and relatives have started arriving in Jing City one after another. He obviously needs to entertain them."
"Aren’t you going? You are his girlfriend," asked Sister Zhou. Suddenly, there was silence, and even the sound of washing vegetables stopped.
A few seconds later, she peeked out her head, "Sorry, I forgot his sister is marrying Third Young Master."
Lin Zhiyi raised her hand slightly, "I’m still injured, so even if I went, I couldn’t do much and would need his care instead."
"That’s true," Sister Zhou nodded and continued cooking. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.
Just as we mentioned Sang Li, a message from him arrived.
’I have something to do tomorrow, might not be able to accompany you to the hospital for a recheck.’
’It’s okay, I’ll go by myself.’
After dinner, Lin Zhiyi and Sister Zhou chatted for a bit more before each headed to rest.
...
The next day.
The Gong Family was busy with the marriage preparations for Gong Chen and Sang Ran.
Sang Li was invited to dine, and he also brought the gifts from his relatives to Sang Ran.
As he entered the dining room, besides the Gong Family members he had met before, there was also a new face.
The woman sat beside Old Mr. Gong, looking composed yet with aggressive eyes.
She gave Sang Li a faint smile when she looked at him.
Sang Li nodded politely, then turned and walked over to Sang Ran.
"I asked Zhou Zhao to take the things to your yard," he said.
"Yeah," Sang Ran nodded, smiling somewhat reluctantly, her eyes constantly looking towards the door.
"Third Young Master hasn’t arrived yet?"
"He’s been very busy recently, it’s okay if he’s late, I’ll wait for him," Sang Ran instinctively made excuses for Gong Chen.
Watching his sister in such a state, Sang Li couldn’t bear it.
"Xiao Ran, if..."
"I’m fine, don’t overthink it. He’s naturally busy; we’ll have more time together after the wedding," Sang Ran stubbornly interrupted.
Sang Li said no more.
At this moment, the voice of the butler came from the doorway.
"Third Young Master."
"Hmm."
Gong Chen approached with steady steps, his eyes stern and emitting a fearsome aura.
He glanced at the woman next to the old gentleman and approached expressionlessly.
Old Mr. Gong stood up and said, "Now that everyone is here, let me introduce her."
"This is a relative of the Gong Family, Ren Xiya. Her mother settled abroad in earlier years, and she is currently working as a product manager in Gong Group’s foreign company. She is here to attend the wedding of Xiao Ran and Gong Chen."
Wen Qing chimed in, "Miss Ren is indeed talented and young, a clear indication of good family upbringing."
"Too kind," Ren Xiya responded with a light, indifferent laugh, turning her gaze towards Gong Chen, "I am also very honored to attend the wedding of Third Young Master and Miss Sang."
"Alright, let’s sit down and chat," Old Mr. Gong beckoned everyone to take their seats.
As soon as Sang Li sat down, the old gentleman pointed to a spot next to him.
"You young people have things to discuss, so you might as well sit together."
"Okay."
Ren Xiya took a seat next to Sang Li.
She generously extended her hand towards Sang Li: "Mr. Sang, I’ve heard a lot about you."
"Don’t be polite." Sang Li ignored her hand and continued drinking his tea on his own.
Ren Xiya nonchalantly withdrew her hand.
Then, the table seemed harmonious, but undercurrents were swirling.
Towards the end, the old gentleman, while sipping his wine, glanced sharply at Ren Xiya.
Ren Xiya nodded. When Sang Li raised his hand, she leaned on his arm, causing the scalding tea to spill on herself.
"Ah! So hot!"
Wen Qing immediately stood up and handed her a towel: "Miss Ren, are you alright?"
"I’m fine, Mr. Sang didn’t see it, it’s my fault for not placing the cup properly," Ren Xiya said in pain, covering her hand.
Wen Qing urged, "Sang Li, after all, Miss Ren is a woman, and it wouldn’t be good if she’s scarred. You better take her to the hospital quickly."
Sang Ran, looking at Ren Xiya’s swollen hand, worriedly said: "Brother, why don’t you take her? It looks quite serious."
Sang Li stood up, glanced at Ren Xiya, and nodded: "Miss Ren, please."
Ren Xiya slightly lifted her eyes: "Thank you."
Sang Li took Ren Xiya away from the Gong residence to the hospital.
...
Hospital.
Lin Zhiyi came for a check-up; the wound was healing well, she got a new medicine, and the bandage was smaller than before.
But her hand still lacked strength, and even bending her fingers was difficult.
She was somewhat disheartened, but the nurse kept comforting her.
"I’ve seen many people with injuries worse than yours, and they recovered well through exercise later on, don’t lose hope."
"Thank you."
"Don’t forget to go to the physiotherapy room later."
"Okay."
After changing the medicine, Lin Zhiyi was preparing to go to the physiotherapy room when her phone received a message from an unknown number.
She opened it to find a photo of a couple’s intimate silhouette.
The man she recognized immediately.
Sang Li.
But the silhouette of the woman in his arms was both familiar and strange.
From the photo’s background, it showed they were at Lin Zhiyi’s hospital.
But Sang Li had said he was busy today, so why was he at the hospital with a woman?
Why would Sang Li deceive her?
Lin Zhiyi’s mind was in turmoil, and she followed the information on the photo to locate them.
