From outside the door, a man’s deep voice was heard.
"I’ll go settle the bill. Added a few dishes on the way."
Everyone listened; the man’s voice was so pleasant, and he seed quite prosperous.
He didn’t seem like an old man at all.
Lin Zhiyi opened the door, giving way to Gong Chen.
"This is my husband."
Gong San.
Even Xingxing couldn’t bring herself to say this na.
Gong Chen dressed casually, but his aura remained.
As he walked into the private room slowly, the sense of pressure approached, he slightly nodded, his ink-black eyes clear and composed.
"Hello, everyone."
With a clatter, the wine glass beside Yu i toppled over, spilling wine on her, but she felt nothing.
She just coldly stared at the man standing next to Lin Zhiyi.
An indescribable familiarity and a sense of pressure made her montarily unsure how to describe him.
But she knew she had lost completely.
After sitting down, the gathering began.
Soone curiously asked Lin Zhiyi, "What’s your husband doing?"
Gong Chen was peeling shrimp for Lin Zhiyi, calmly said, "Small business, mainly Zhiyi runs the household."
Everyone was stunned.
"Zhiyi runs the household? Very few n admit that the woman runs the household," a classmate said.
Gong Chen wiped his hands, "She has that capability."
Several female classmates looked at Lin Zhiyi with envy.
Lin Zhiyi felt a bit embarrassed.
But a few n spoke with a sarcastic tone.
"A man should be the head of the family; that way, won feel secure."
So female classmates slightly stiffened their expressions.
Lin Zhiyi picked up a shrimp, tasted it carefully, then looked at those few n.
"If a man can give a woman a sense of security, then what does a man want?"
The n thought Lin Zhiyi agreed with them and each chuckled.
"Won should traditionally support their husbands and teach their children, taking care of family matters; having elders and children is very important."
Important in words, but marrying a wife can make you a lazy bum.
Lin Zhiyi chuckled lightly and turned to look at the female classmates.
"Won aren’t born from stone cracks; they have their families and parents. How co after marriage, they beco soone else’s nanny?"
"Security is a feeling for oneself. Supporting husbands, teaching children, taking care of the ho, looking after the old and young—if all these can be done well, what sense of security can’t be given to oneself? Why must it be from n?"
"What era is this; hopefully, you aren’t that outdated, right?"
A few n looked unhappy but could say nothing.
Instead, the female classmates looked at Lin Zhiyi and smiled.
Who would’ve thought Yu i’s husband would suddenly stand up?
He loudly said, "Brother, if you eat soft rice, so be it; don’t have your wife cover for you, but your looks qualify as a young man."
As he spoke, a rush of alcohol air ca over.
He seed to have drunk quite a bit.
Lin Zhiyi wanted to argue back, but Gong Chen pressed her hand down.
He coldly glanced at Yu i’s husband.
"Clearly, you have experience eating soft rice."
His expression stiffened, "You..."
Gong Chen continued, "It’s also clear your wife holds much resentnt; perhaps not enough security was given?"
Suddenly, those who misspoke were all subtly mocked.
Lin Zhiyi almost laughed out.
With things said this way, who dared to speak rashly?
The al finally continued.
During which, Lin Zhiyi talked a lot with the horoom teacher.
The teacher looked at the couple, smiled contently.
She looked at Gong Chen and said, "I always knew Zhiyi’s family was quite complex. I was also worried at first, but one day she suddenly seed enlightened, saying she wanted to study well and wanted to... climb so high mountain."
Lin Zhiyi quickly interrupted, "I just want to strive for my dreams."
Gong Chen thought for a few seconds, then suddenly realized sothing.
"A high mountain, then she is quite amazing."
"Yes, Zhiyi is very amazing," the horoom teacher praised.
Lin Zhiyi felt a bit exposed.
After the gathering, everyone saw the horoom teacher off to the car.
A few classmates wanted to chat, but Lin Zhiyi quickly spoke first.
"Our child is waiting for us at ho, so we’ll be off first."
"Alright, then let’s gather again next ti," the class monitor said.
Lin Zhiyi quickly took Gong Chen’s arm and left.
Finally, left at the hotel entrance were only Yu i and her husband.
"I said I didn’t want to co; you insisted. Now we’re embarrassed together."
Yu i looked displeased, "If you could show so ambition, would I be like this? I haven’t even despised you for embarrassing us, needing to clarify for you outside. You can’t even control yourself..."
Pop.
Yu i was slapped hard.
"You seduced back then, so this is what you deserve. Don’t even think about ditching now, and trying to oppress Lin Zhiyi for your own gain; do you qualify? Did you see the couple’s matching watches? Selling you a hundred tis wouldn’t be enough! Crazy!"
After speaking, the man turned and left.
People around stared at her; so laughed, others talked.
Yu i flushed red, feeling sothing rushing to her head.
Once she ca to her senses, she was holding a knife from the restaurant.
She rushed towards the parking lot, looking at the two people ahead.
"Lin Zhiyi, wait, let’s talk."
Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen turned around.
They didn’t have much defense against Yu i.
After all, Yu i was sowhat of a public figure, and she wouldn’t ruin her reputation by causing a scene.
But they overlooked that a person suppressed for too long could do anything.
Yu i drew out the knife and stabbed towards Lin Zhiyi.
When Lin Zhiyi ca to her senses, blood splashed on her face, the warm sensation making her tremble all over.
Gong Chen in front of her furrowed his brows tightly, looking down at the knife embedded in his body.
Blood dripped from the wound to the ground.
Gong Chen groaned and fell.
Lin Zhiyi reached out to catch him, shouting, "Help! Help!"
...
Hospital.
Lin Zhiyi sat nearby, covered in blood.
Others arrived one after another.
Chu Yin worriedly asked, "Zhiyi, is Third Young Master okay?"
Lin Zhiyi shook her head, calmly saying, "He’s fine, he’ll definitely be fine; he even survived a gunshot."
Chu Yin was about to nod, but noticed Lin Zhiyi rubbing her hands unconsciously, the skin stained with blood almost rubbed raw.
She understood Gong Chen’s injuries must be very severe.
Just as Chu Yin was about to comfort Lin Zhiyi, Sang Li held her back, slightly shaking his head.
He had already heard from Chen Jin about Gong Chen’s situation on the way.
It was very grim.
Yu i had stabbed into Gong Chen’s heart.
If it weren’t for several hospital bigwigs dining together at the hotel, Gong Chen couldn’t have made it to the hospital.
Even those ten minutes were a desperate rush by seven or eight doctors.
Bringing him back was still unknown.
Chu Yin bit her lip nervously, "How could this happen? Third Young Master is so cautious, with such good skills; how could he be hurt by a woman?"
Sang Li said nothing.
Chen Jin hung his head in guilt; he shouldn’t have gone to the restroom at that ti.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhao stepped forward and patted his shoulder.
"It’s not your fault; who would’ve thought Yu i would do such a thing?"
"If Third Young Master... what then?" Chen Jin spoke with difficulty.
