Chapter 105: Chapter 105: So It Was Her Chapter 105: Chapter 105: So It Was Her “Fighting? Ha, I was just resting when soone grabbed by the neck and dragged into the ergency room. Standing there with three gynecologists, we all just looked at each other. Do you know what they asked ?”
Li Huan exaggeratedly reenacted the scene.
Lin Zhiyi cluelessly asked, “What did they ask?”
Imitating the female doctor’s voice, Li Huan pinched his throat and said, “Doctor Li, protect which fetus? Protect a period?”
“Now do you understand where my injuries ca from? Next ti, could you remind him to be quick but not choke ?”
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi finally caught on to what he was talking about.
But there was no change in her facial expression, her eyes downcast, saying nothing.
Li Huan, who hadn’t noticed her mood, looked around and asked, “Where’s Third Young Master? Wasn’t he always by your side?”
“He left,” Lin Zhiyi responded coldly.
Gong Chen had only stayed with her to make sure that he could warn her not to blabber as soon as she woke up.
At this point, Li Huan sensed that sothing was amiss.
For a mont, he wasn’t sure what to say and changed the subject, “I’ll go check if your dication is ready.”
As soon as Li Huan left, Liu He wanted to speak.
“Actually, Lao San just now…”
“Mom, can we not talk about him?” Lin Zhiyi interrupted impatiently.
“Understood,” Liu He hastily complied.
Lin Zhiyi thought for a mont, then stood up and moved closer to her, “Mom, I need you to help find out sothing.”
“What’s that?”
“Does Song Wanqiu have any other male friends?” Lin Zhiyi asked in a lowered voice.
“As far as I know, no. Since she got together with Lao San, to show her commitnt, she kept her distance from all other n. Otherwise, why do you think Old Mr. Gong would turn a blind eye to her engagent with Lao San?” Liu He reminisced.
Lin Zhiyi frowned in thought, then suddenly sothing occurred to her.
“Mom, doesn’t Song Wanqiu have a circle of girlfriends? It seems she is particularly close with one of the rich girls.”
“She does have her own social circle, all rich heiresses,” Liu He said worriedly, taking Lin Zhiyi’s hand. Resignedly she added, “Zhiyi, I know you feel wronged, but we really can’t compete with them.”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I won’t do anything rash. I just want to confirm so things. Just help quietly inquire about that heiress.”
Lin Zhiyi dared not tell Liu He the whole truth, because Liu He would surely spill everything out if frightened.
Liu He nodded, not asking anything further.
After a while, the nurse brought in the dication, and Lin Zhiyi had Liu He handle the discharge and went straight back to the apartnt to rest.
In the evening, Liu He called her with news.
“The heiress’ surna is Liu, and her na is Liu Xinna. Her mother’s family is in import-export business, and her father and grandfather are politicians. She’s also considered a pampered princess.”
“Song Wanqiu refers to her as a sister, and they’re very close. There was an issue with one of Old Mr. Gong’s mines before, and it was Song Wanqiu who asked the Liu Family to help resolve it, which is why Old Mr. Gong is more lenient towards her.”
“However, although Liu Xinna looks like a good girl on the surface, she’s quite wild privately; it’s just that for the sake of face, no one dares to say it openly.”
The surna Liu?
The familiar surna made Lin Zhiyi’s thoughts surge.
Scenes flashed by rapidly, like a movie, until she found the corresponding one.
It was the muggy and damp rainy season when Xingxing was feverish and hospitalized.
Lin Zhiyi did not dare to delay; she had no patience for the elevator, running up and down the stairs instead.
The pit-a-pat of the heavy rain was irritating and also masked the sound of her footsteps as she descended the stairs.
So much so that the two people arguing by the stairwell window didn’t notice her at all.
She poked her head out and recognized the familiar figures, Shen Yan and Song Wanqiu.
“Big designer, if I help you deal with the Liu surna, is this all the benefit you give ?”
“Shen Yan, don’t get too greedy. Your current status is all thanks to . Just follow obediently, and once I beco the Third Madam of the Gong Family, I’ll naturally take care of you.”
At this ti, Song Wanqiu was a renowned jewelry designer with her own independent studio and brand.
She had also given birth to Gong Chen’s eldest son and was at the height of her glory, even her hair seed to glow, and her eyes radiated arrogance.
Shen Yan, standing by her side, had also risen with the tide, clad in haute couture, with a handbag in her palm worth hundreds of thousands.
The girl who had just started university and part-tid with Lin Zhiyi, determined to climb up in life, had long since taken on a darker shade.
Shen Yan toyed with her chain bag, casually saying, “Lin Zhiyi and her daughter are practically housebound, even Old Mr. Gong is helpless. If it weren’t for and Mr. Liu helping you, where would be the evidence of Lin Zhiyi framing you and your son? Besides, Mr. Liu also helped you get a matching sample. If she knew you were deceiving and using her all this ti…”
“Shut up! Are you threatening ?” Song Wanqiu’s expression changed abruptly, both fierce and venomous.
“Miss Song, don’t bla for speaking out. If the Liu Family falls, it falls, Mr. Liu cos to threaten you, the only one who can help you is . I’m just taking what I’m owed, so that if sothing happens to , I can leave sothing for my family.”
“What do you an? You also think I’m the one who reported the Liu Family?” Song Wanqiu asked through gritted teeth, “With decades of evidence against the Liu Family unearthed, do you think I’m capable of that? I’d love for the Liu Family to be well-off, so I would have a backer. Now that they’ve fallen, she actually says she’ll go and report to the Third Young Master? If sothing happens to , you won’t get off scot-free either, so keep your mouth shut!”
“Then…”
Shen Yan’s fingers wound around the chain, her gaze at Song Wanqiu full of aning.
Song Wanqiu, losing patience, transferred money to Shen Yan with a warning, “Sichen’s check-up today didn’t go well, we can’t wait any longer, make sure you handle things efficiently.”
“I understand. I’ll make sure Mr. Liu can’t threaten you anymore.”
Shen Yan looked at the number on her phone and smiled slightly.
At that mont, Lin Zhiyi regretted being in such a rush that she forgot her phone, otherwise, she would have recorded it all.
She rembered Mr. Liu’s na and wanted to start an investigation to see if she could clear her na.
But Xingxing’s illness ca and went. Just when it seed to improve, Gong Chen said he was afraid she would harm Song Wanqiu and her son, and took them back to the villa again.
When she thought about investigating again, Xingxing had died.
Later, she found out that the so-called matching sample Shen Yan ntioned was actually Xingxing.
Xingxing had never undergone any matching procedure, but Old Mr. Gong knew the matching was successful.
If Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing hadn’t hidden away in the villa, Old Mr. Gong would probably have pressured them to give in without hesitation.
Who would have thought that it would be her own biological father who ultimately led her to the operating table?
Thinking back, there couldn’t be many willing to give false testimony for Song Wanqiu. It had to be Liu Xinna!
It was she who had made the Gong Family target Xingxing!
Thinking of the past, Lin Zhiyi’s hand unconsciously clenched tight, her nails digging into her palm.
“Zhiyi? Zhiyi! Are you still listening?”
Liu He’s voice brought Lin Zhiyi back to reality.
She adjusted her breathing and quickly answered, “I’m listening. Mom, please go on.”
Liu He continued, “I found out that Song Wanqiu and Liu Xinna often go to a bar for their sister gatherings. Oh, and Liu Xinna seems to have soone she fancies. An old colleague told that every once in a while she places an order at a high-end brand for a custom n’s watch, and she likes to inscribe the initials of the man’s na on the band.”
“What are they?”
“LH.”
