Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 370 I Have Evidence
Chapter 370: Chapter 370 I Have Evidence
The man’s face was close at hand, Lin Zhiyi held her breath and involuntarily tightened her scarf.
In order not to let him see, she shifted her gaze away, draped the scarf around his neck, and then pointed at his collar.
"Tuck it in, cover the damp spot on your clothes."
Gong Chen looked down, his eyes seemingly a bit desolate, but he didn’t take advantage of the situation and dressed himself properly.
A moment later, the two entered Building 2 and found Class Senior Three Grade Three.
Standing by the window, the classroom was clear at a glance.
There were five or six girls sitting, chatting in pairs.
Except for one girl who was earnestly doing her test paper, realizing someone was outside the window, she glanced up.
After briefly making eye contact with Lin Zhiyi for two seconds, she quickly lowered her head, her hand holding the pen trembling slightly. freёweɓnovel.com
Taking advantage of Lin Zhiyi looking at other students, the girl took out two pieces of paper and pretended to go to the restroom.
She had just reached the door when a strong arm blocked her way.
Only then did the girl realize there was a man standing next to Lin Zhiyi.
Gong Chen scanned her and said: "Gao Ting."
She wanted to say he mistook her for someone else, but a classmate who had just entered called her.
"Gao Ting, the math teacher said to distribute the freshly printed test papers before school ends."
Gao Ting reluctantly looked at the two in front of her.
"Can we not talk here?"
Gong Chen lowered his hand.
Gao Ting led the two to the rooftop of the teaching building.
Aside from two or three couples, there was no one else.
Gao Ting found a corner, lowered her head, her hands red and swollen from wringing.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to scare her, and said softly, "It’s been many years since we’ve seen each other, you don’t seem surprised at all that I’m looking for you."
Gao Ting bit her lip and murmured, "I can’t help you, I don’t know anything."
Being too young, she panicked and revealed all her cards.
Gong Chen coldly said, "We haven’t even asked you anything, and you say you don’t know?"
"Gao Ting, I’m not here to cause trouble, I just want to understand some things, do you know about your mother’s investment?" Lin Zhiyi earnestly said.
Gao Ting hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "How could I not know? She and my dad even had a fight over the investment, she said your mother invested in buying you two apartments, one of which is a school district house, as long as she makes money, my younger brother’s school district house will be secured."
She helplessly pressed her lips: "Actually, I could have attended a good junior high school and didn’t need to come to a distant place to study in high school. But my mom is always worried about my unborn brother, afraid that I would take up a school district slot, so until my brother’s actual birth, I have always been compromising for a brother who doesn’t exist."
"I’m in my senior year now, just a few months away from the college entrance exams, my family and I can’t afford any mistakes. My mom said if the money can’t be retrieved, even if I perform well, she won’t be able to let me go to college."
She looked up at Lin Zhiyi: "Sorry, I can’t help you with anything."
After saying that, Gao Ting turned around to leave.
Gong Chen bluntly said, "I can offer you a scholarship to go to college."
Gao Ting paused upon hearing this, but continued towards the staircase.
Lin Zhiyi inexplicably thought of Sister Zhou.
As a corporate female white-collar worker, Sister Zhou is fully capable of breaking away from her family.
Why is she still morally bound?
Because she couldn’t bear not the money her parents wanted to use to nurture her brother, but the bond of blood and kinship.
Lin Zhiyi called out to her: "Do you think by helping her, she will appreciate you? Whether or not the money can be retrieved, your mom won’t let you out of her control, right? Gao Ting, Gao Ting..."
She repeated Gao Ting’s name.
Gao Ting covered her ears in a somewhat collapsing manner: "Stop shouting! Stop shouting! I hate my name the most."
Ting, female, pavilion.
After going to school, she realized that from birth she had an invisible younger brother.
Lin Zhiyi looked at the young girl with tears streaming down her face and handed her a tissue, "Being called Gao Ting is not wrong, you are you. I know you have many dreams, don’t let them trip you up."
Gao Ting covered her eyes with the tissue and cried.
After crying herself tired, she looked at Lin Zhiyi with swollen eyes: "Sister, I’m sorry."
Lin Zhiyi smiled faintly, touching her head, realizing that she still remembered her.
Everything seemed to return to many years ago, the scene where the two of them sat on a park bench eating ice cream.
She was still young then, sitting beside Lin Zhiyi and calling her sister.
In her previous life, after Liu He’s death, she lost contact with these aunts.
The only impression left about Gao Ting was from a social news report.
Gao Ting, after being admitted to a PhD, committed suicide.
The news didn’t disclose the reason.
Just now, Lin Zhiyi was thinking about Sister Zhou, and that reminded her of this piece of news.
Instantly, she understood that to open Gao Ting’s heart, she must unravel the knot in it.
Lin Zhiyi embraced Gao Ting, lifting her eyes to meet Gong Chen’s deep gaze.
His ink-like eyes shimmering under the sunlight, radiating an unknown sheen.
Lin Zhiyi felt uncomfortable under his stare and turned her head away.
After Gao Ting calmed down, she wiped her tears and then spoke, "I have evidence that it was my mom who persuaded the other aunts to invest."
After speaking, she took out her mobile phone, which contained a video.
Upon playing the video, Aunt Yang was seen discussing the investment with the other aunts.
"I heard Liu He made a lot of money from investments; look at her dressed in gold and silver."
Another aunt, although envious, was more cautious.
"It might not necessarily be from investments, her husband is the Second Young Master, when has she not worn expensive jewelry?"
"Just her showing off. I really don’t understand what the Second Young Master sees in her, back in the day we were all beauties when we worked together."
"You just don’t know how to flirt with men!"
The group burst into laughter.
Lin Zhiyi’s face turned icy; she could hardly believe how they spoke of Liu He behind her back.
Yet, in her past life, they had cried bitterly after Liu He’s death.
How did it all change so quickly?
Just because of interests?
Now, Lin Zhiyi’s only relief was that Liu He never saw this video.
Liu He cherished her friendships, even though she became the Second Madam of the Gong Family, she never put on airs with friends.
Moreover, over the years, they all received help from Liu He in varying degrees.
Gao Ting looked worriedly at Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi pretended not to care and smiled, but in reality, her hands hidden behind her were almost digging into her flesh.
Suddenly, warmth spread through her palm.
A man’s breath approached, and a warm hand gently grasped hers.
Lin Zhiyi was startled and forgot to push him away immediately.
Snapping back to reality, she withdrew her hand and glared at Gong Chen.
Gong Chen was not annoyed, just narrowed his eyes slightly at her, his gaze deepening, the intense heat seeming to devour her.
Her spine trembled as he came closer, and she took a large step to move next to Gao Ting.
At this moment, Aunt Yang’s mocking voice came from the video.
"Definitely Liu He made money! Even if the Gong Family was willing to give Liu He money to spend, they definitely wouldn’t give Lin Zhiyi over ten million to buy a house and arrange a dowry."
"Over ten million? How do you know?" the others exclaimed.
