Chapter 470: Chapter 470: You Know Each Other?
After the doctor left, the space outside the operating room remained silent.
Lin Zhiyi was lamenting the loss of the child.
Sang Li’s face darkened as he angrily gazed at Old Mr. Gong.
“Old Mr. Gong, everyone saw with their own eyes that your people killed my sister’s child. If your Gong Family can’t give me an explanation, I definitely won’t let this go easily, even if it means publicly announcing it, the Sang Family is justified!”
The previously aggressive Old Mr. Gong and the elders of the Gong Family fell silent instantly.
Old Mr. Gong stood with his hands behind his back and turned to look at Gong Chen.
“What do you think about this?”
“Since it was you who wanted the child, then you should resolve this.” Gong Chen said indifferently.
“You… you’re also part of the Gong Family.” Old Mr. Gong said through gritted teeth.
Gong Chen looked at the other elders: “Do all of you also want me to handle this?”
At this point, everyone understood that only Gong Chen’s relationship with Sang Li could resolve this matter.
“Lao San, since this concerns your late wife, it’s best for you to handle it.”
“Yes, these two children have no ties with our Gong Family anyway.”
There was no fluctuation in Gong Chen’s gaze, as if he always knew it would end this way.
He mocked lightly: “So that’s it for the child?”
The others glanced at Old Mr. Gong, and after understanding his gaze, they instantly changed their stance.
“This child was originally from the Sang Family, we were just feeling sorry for Sang Ran and wanted to keep the child. Since the child is gone, it’s better for the Sang Family to handle the aftermath.”
“Since there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving first.”
Gong Chen’s cold eyes slightly lifted: “Alright.”
The grand drama ended like a joke.
Watching the departing crowd, Lin Zhiyi clenched her teeth tight, her face turned white with anger at the thought of the two lost children.
Sang Li said coldly: “Let’s go talk in the ward.”
Lin Zhiyi asked with concern: “Mr. Sang, are you okay?”
Sang Li sighed slightly, and turned to walk towards the ward.
Lin Zhiyi worried that he wouldn’t be able to cope after losing his sister and his sister’s child, immediately followed him.
She didn’t even notice the man’s face behind her was very blackened.
…
Before entering the ward, Lin Zhiyi was thinking about how to comfort Sang Li.
But when she stood in the ward, she was dumbfounded.
It was only when she heard the sound of Gong Chen closing the door behind her that she came to her senses, and fixed her gaze on the black-haired woman with straight hair who was drinking iced cola on the bed.
“She…”
“Hi.”
The woman had completely changed her deeply affectionate demeanor towards Gong Chen at the Gong Family, waving with a bright smile at Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi turned to look at Gong Chen, realizing he was still calm.
She instantly understood the situation.
“You know each other?” Lin Zhiyi pointed at the three people in front of her.
The woman put down the cola and laughed: “How’s my performance? Do I seem like a woman who’s deeply in love with Third Young Master? Next time, remember to find me if there’s a gig, I’ll give you my contact information… Uh…”
The woman was pulled back by Sang Li, grabbing her collar.
“Sit properly.” Sang Li frowned.
The woman’s brown eyes glanced around at Lin Zhiyi and Sang Li, and then, with sudden understanding, pointed: “I got it, what I was acting before was…”
Sang Li gave her a subtle look.
The woman shut her mouth and sat back down.
Lin Zhiyi became more confused as she listened, looking puzzled at the two men in front of her.
“What’s going on here exactly?”
Sang Li explained: “Your suggestion on the plane moved me, but Third Young Master privately reminded me that Old Mr. Gong would never let us take the child.”
“This child would very likely become a sacrifice, so we simply went with the flow.”
“Later when you brought up the Chinese medicine doctor’s matter, it confirmed Third Young Master’s suspicion, Old Mr. Gong wanted only Xiao Ran’s child from the start.”
Lin Zhiyi was startled.
Since the private plane returned to Jing City?
Meaning Gong Chen had arranged everything from the beginning.
Lin Zhiyi inhaled slightly, looking at the woman sitting by the bedside.
“Then how did you make sure Sang Ran would definitely choose her?”
She remembered Sang Ran had shown her many photos of women back then.
The woman lifted her eyes and said: “Third Young Master said as long as I act like you yet not completely like you, Miss Sang will definitely choose me.”
Lin Zhiyi was speechless.
When she saw the woman’s photo at that time, her first reaction was also that Sang Ran would choose her.
She pursed her lips and looked at Gong Chen.
He remained cold and distant, standing there with a feeling that no one could approach.
When he looked up at her, there was a bit more depth in his gaze.
Lin Zhiyi felt her heart skip a beat, and looked away: “Then the child…”
The woman nodded, touching her stomach: “It’s all fake blood; I was scared it might fall out. Luckily, my acting was good, otherwise it would have been a slip-up.”
Having said that, the woman instantly got into character.
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but marvel and wanted to ask Sang Li where he found such an impressive person.
Sang Li just laughed helplessly.
“The doctor said Xiao Ran had been on medication for years, suffering from side effects; it’s impossible for her to have children. So I just had someone give her anesthesia and let her have a good sleep.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
But then she thought about something.
“You did this on purpose today?”
“Yes.” Sang Li looked at Gong Chen, “Third Young Master felt that this child must ‘die’ by Old Mr. Gong’s hand for the matter to settle.”
Now it seems it went just as Gong Chen predicted.
Old Mr. Gong probably wouldn’t want to bring up the Sang Family again in his days to come.
Let alone any interest-related ties with the Sang Family.
After listening to all this, Lin Zhiyi felt her earlier worries that her plan might implicate Gong Chen and Sang Li were completely self-absorbed.
Feeling awkward, she looked at Sang Li and asked: “Mr. Sang, have you been doing alright recently?”
“Not bad.” Sang Li smiled faintly, “How about you? Have you adapted since coming back?”
“Yes.” Lin Zhiyi nodded.
“Ahem.” Gong Chen coughed lightly, raised his wrist to glance at the watch, “I have something to do.”
Lin Zhiyi asked suspiciously: “Third Young Master, are you busy? Otherwise, why don’t you first… hey hey hey…”
Before she finished speaking, she was pulled away.
From behind, she could vaguely hear the woman complaining to Sang Li.
“Mr. Sang, do you pay daily or monthly? I need compensation for emotional distress; I couldn’t sleep at all these past few nights at the Gong Family, my endocrine system is out of balance, and my skin condition has worsened.”
“Of course, if you’d prefer to compensate with your charm, I’m open to it. I hear that’s a great way to regulate endocrine imbalance and is good for women’s skin too.”
Lin Zhiyi doubted her ears.
What kind of outrageous words were those?
Before she could hear more, she was led out of the ward by Gong Chen.
Before she could speak, the man blocked her path.
“You have so much to talk about with him?”
“Shouldn’t I ask?”
“How come I’ve never seen you show such concern for me?” Gong Chen frowned and asked.
She wasn’t mad until he brought it up.
“Third Young Master, then why have you kept things from me for so long?”
“Next question.”
“…”
Who’s like this?
…
In the elevator lobby.
Chen Jin reached out towards the person next to him.
“Dagger.”
Zhou Zhao lifted his suit to reveal the dagger tucked into his belt.
“Go ahead, take it yourself.”
“I can’t, we’re not close, we’re breaking up.” Chen Jin spoke steadily.
“You…” Zhou Zhao was furious, “I see now, you all can’t wait to break up with me, right?”
“I added you three times, and you never approved.” Chen Jin reminded.
Zhou Zhao smirked: “At least there’s a bit of conscience.”
Chen Jin stepped closer to him: “You took my red envelopes, I need them back. We all have it hard working jobs.”
Zhou Zhao: “…”
Lost in thought, his waist suddenly felt lighter.
Chen Jin flipped the dagger and tucked it into the sleeve holder.
Zhou Zhao gritted his teeth: “You’ve ruined another one of my belts! Can’t you be careful? I haven’t even gotten married yet! You found a girlfriend, and now you want to ruin me?”
“No girlfriend, Liao Yi likes you.”
“Huh? Then she has a good taste.” Zhou Zhao shook his hair, “No wait, isn’t she just trying to get me to treat her to food again?”
“…”
Chen Jin turned and left.
Zhou Zhao came back to his senses, and touched his pocket, finding an ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis.
“Thank you, Brother Chen!”
