Chapter 323: Chapter 323 Already Suspicious
The mont the milk tea fell into the trash bin, Gong Chen burst out of the guest room and swiftly picked up the bag.
He glanced at Sang Ran, his face expressionless, as cold and hard as if he were looking at a stranger.
But he said nothing, carrying the bag and walking towards the room.
He even calmly reminded her, “The guest room has been tidied up, you should rest early.”
Sang Ran leaned incredulously against the table, her eyes quickly reddening.
“Why aren’t you angry at ? I’m not that fragile; if you’re upset or uncomfortable, you can vent your anger on .”
Instead of being emotionless like this.
It felt like her marriage was rely to Gong Chen as a person and his family, but she never truly had his heart.
With an almost pleading tone, she looked towards Gong Chen, hoping he would give her so reaction.
Gong Chen remained restrained, his dark eyes undisturbed.
“Don’t overthink it, your health is what’s important.”
Then the sound of a door closing ca from the end of the hallway.
Sang Ran slumped onto the chair, silent tears falling.
She saw it, the couples’ milk tea cups, one with a straw stained with lipstick.
After an unknown amount of ti, her phone vibrated a few tis.
It was a ssage from Wen Qing.
Staring at the text, she clenched her fists tightly.
In the room.
Gong Chen sat beside the floor lamp, slightly tilting his head, his somber eyes gazing at the milk tea cup on the coffee table that had been washed clean.
On the rim of the cup, besides the straw, he had also placed two knit roses.
As he stared at the flowers, sothing ca to mind and he dialed Li Huan’s number.
“How’s the recovery of her hand?”
Li Huan paused for a mont: “It’s fine. Why do you ask?”
“She didn’t dare to use much force when resisting.”
“Resisting? Are you a brute?” Li Huan joked, “Her hand just healed, of course, she wouldn’t dare use much strength.”
“Got it.”
After putting down the phone, Gong Chen was thoughtful.
…
After Lin Zhiyi got ho, she collapsed tiredly onto the bed.
It was a feeling of having an empty head yet being very exhausted.
As she was about to go to sleep, she received a treatnt plan from Li Huan.
In order not to affect her work, she had to go to the hospital for treatnt early every day.
“It’s just between us two, right?” Lin Zhiyi asked with uncertainty.
“Yes, I’ve already spoken to my colleagues, we’ve deliberately chosen less busy tis to treat you.”
“Thank you.”
“But Third Young Master just called , he might be getting suspicious.”
“Be careful. Anyway, I’ve submitted my school application, and once that’s done, I’ll resign. He’ll probably be preoccupied with the wedding by then and won’t pay attention to these details.”
On the other side of the phone, Li Huan typed for a long ti.
In the end, he replied with a simple ‘Mm’.
Lin Zhiyi knew what he wanted to say, and she also knew why he ultimately held back.
With a thousand words in her heart, she replied with just two.
“Thank you, Huanhuan.”
“Huanhuan your head.”
Lin Zhiyi smiled softly, reassured, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, she went to the hospital, and she was the only one in the entire therapy room.
After the treatnt, she wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but she felt a tingling sensation in her fingers, not as numb as before.
That was at least a good start.
As she left the hospital, she suddenly felt as if soone was watching her. She turned around and noticed a figure rushing past.
She imdiately chased after the figure.
But she didn’t see even a shadow.
Was she being too sensitive?
Just then, her WeChat beeped twice; it was a ssage from a client who said they would co to the studio at 9:30 to confirm the design draft.
She had no ti to worry about the figure and hurriedly took a taxi to the studio.
After greeting the client, an email notification popped up on her computer.
The exorbitant school actually offered her a full scholarship and even waived the tuition fees.
This was simply a pipe dream.
She sat in front of the screen, stupefied, and watched the text over and over again.
Finally, she saw there was an additional line of text at the bottom of the email.
The only requirent was for her to redesign a piece of jewelry that was breathtaking.
For Lin Zhiyi, this was not difficult at all.
She excitedly replied to the email but hesitated before sending it.
She changed it to a polite inquiry about what had led them to make this decision.
If it was Gong Chen’s doing, she would reject it imdiately.
Unexpectedly, the response she got said they really liked her style and the design industry needed more diversity, so they had vouched for her.
Lin Zhiyi was excited but not so much that she lost her mind completely.
She double-checked the interview details with the other party, and after making sure everything was correct, she managed to suppress a smile before giving a precise response.
After all, who wouldn’t want to fight for their dreams when given the opportunity?
What surprised her even more was that another school she had applied to had also accepted her, but the email ntioned requirents as well.
She had to design new work within a week.
The request was reasonable, so she agreed to it.
Now, she just had to wait for her hand to recover a bit.
Lin Zhiyi instantly beca full of confidence.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Feifei suddenly appeared beside her and exclaid.
“My God! Zhiyi, this university known as the palace of art is actually offering you a full scholarship and even waiving the tuition fee? From what I know, those who get such opportunities are all top-notch. You are too amazing.”
Lin Zhiyi imdiately shut off her screen, but she couldn’t match Ye Feifei’s speed in spreading the news.
Other colleagues had seen a little of it already.
She slightly irritably looked at Ye Feifei, “Why are you looking at my screen?”
Ye Feifei responded pitifully, “I just happened to see it by chance while I was passing by, and this is a public area. Besides, this is great news. Why can’t we let everyone know? You’re not guarding against us, are you?”
Everyone looked towards Lin Zhiyi.
She knew Ye Feifei was trying to drive a wedge, so she explained, “It’s not completely settled yet, that’s why I didn’t ntion it.”
“How can it not be settled? The email is congratulating you,” Ye Feifei said loudly.
“Okay, Zhiyi, don’t worry. I can’t get into such a prestigious school anyway, so you don’t have to be so cautious.”
“I heard that school is very expensive, made up of pure gold and silver investnts. Zhiyi, you must have saved a lot of money recently, huh?”
That comnt obviously had a sarcastic tone.
Fortunately, Xue Man passed by and interrupted the conversation.
“Zhiyi, co with to the office for a bit.”
Lin Zhiyi’s heart skipped a beat, she hadn’t ntioned the study opportunity to Xue Man yet.
Would Xue Man have objections?
But she hadn’t received any admission news before, surely she couldn’t end up losing her job, right?
They walked into the office.
Lin Zhiyi hurriedly said, “President Xue, I…”
Xue Man, smiling, raised her hand and said, “I know what you want to say, and I won’t stop you. Your beginning may be with , but I know your end won’t be. It’s good for you to go out and see the world.”
“Back in the day, I also went abroad carrying a broken suitcase against all objections.”
Lin Zhiyi looked at her gratefully, “Thank you. But it’s not completely settled yet; they’ve asked to submit a new design within a week.”
Xue Man’s smile faltered slightly as she asked doubtfully, “A requirent from the school?”
