Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Zhiyi, You Lost
Lin Zhiyi naturally had a face like a vixen’s, and even wearing an orthodox suit, she carried a bit of allure.
Even if her face was painted stark white, those affectionate and watery eyes could not deceive anyone.
She had a man.
Zhou Zhao sized Lin Zhiyi up and down, then spoke earnestly.
“Miss Lin, you can be beautiful, but you need to look like a widow… um.”
Before Zhou Zhao could finish, Chen Jin covered his mouth.
“I’ve already asked Liao Yi to co over; she’s skilled in this area.”
Speak of the devil.
Liao Yi walked into the room carrying a small box.
She looked at Lin Zhiyi with a sly smile: “Zhiyi, seems like you’re living quite well.”
Lin Zhiyi’s white-painted cheeks flushed with red, unable to retort.
She could only change the subject: “I, I’m almost out of ti.”
“Leave it to .”
Liao Yi pulled Lin Zhiyi to sit down, opened the makeup box, and added a bit of color to her face.
Imdiately, Lin Zhiyi’s eyes revealed a blood-red hue from crying for a long ti, her face no longer stark white but blending white with gray.
Beautiful yet lifeless.
Anyone who saw her couldn’t help but say, my condolences.
With makeup done, the ti was about right.
Lin Zhiyi stood up to set off, but at the door, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, pulling her back.
Seeing this, the others sensibly stepped out first.
And closed the door on the way out.
While Lin Zhiyi was in a daze, a man was already kissing her.
“My, my makeup…”
“Just one kiss.”
The man coaxed twice, kissed twice, then frowned and released her.
He said, “This foundation slls bad.”
“Does it sll bad? It shouldn’t, there’s a hint of rose. Liao Yi said my lips were too red and specifically applied so.”
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips and took a breath.
With one press, the foundation was gone, revealing her naturally rosy lips.
Gong Chen smirked: “Then let taste it again.”
“…”
Lin Zhiyi was silenced, infuriated as she reached to grab his injured wrist, her eyes signaling him to release her.
Gong Chen kept a slight distance between them, staring into her eyes: “No matter how it hurts, I’ll still kiss.”
“You…”
Lin Zhiyi still couldn’t bring herself to harm him.
“Zhiyi, why don’t you go to work for , while I wait at ho?”
“You want bankruptcy?”
“Designer Lin can support ,” the man said in a deep voice.
“…Shaless.”
“Hmm.”
A perfunctory answer, his mind entirely focused on the kiss.
Considering there was still work ahead, Gong Chen didn’t go too far.
Before stepping out, he took the scarf he had given her off the rack and wrapped it around her, intentionally exposing the side embroidered with letters.
He glanced at his watch, whispered: “I have one more thing to do, wait for .”
“Hmm.”
Lin Zhiyi pulled the scarf tighter and left the house.
On the way to Gong Group, Liao Yi stifled a laugh while touching up Lin Zhiyi’s makeup.
Oh, there were two other n trying not to laugh.
Lin Zhiyi feared everyone would burst out laughing during the eting at Gong Group, so she changed the subject and asked about Liao Yi after pulling up the banner.
“The driver’s family took the money and ran, nowhere to be found. Gong Yao won’t find them anyti soon; online is full of people demanding a public confrontation; he won’t dare to call the police for a confrontation, so he can only contact us for hush money.”
“We split the money among us; rember to call us for such good deals in the future.”
Liao Yi was enjoying acting out the part.
Chen Jin calmly said: “His top priority now is to seize power, there’s no way he’d get distracted by sothing like this, and now with Wen Qing as the scapegoat, he definitely won’t waste ti.”
Zhou Zhao nodded: “Publicly, they hold the advantage now; I fear today’s eting is a banquet of betrayal. But rest assured, Assistant Chen and I will help you.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Zhiyi looked at her friends beside her, feeling much more at ease.
But thinking of an old friend, she sighed slightly.
…
Gong Group.
Liao Yi wasn’t suitable to appear, so she took on the role of driver.
“If things go down later, just rush down, my driving skills will leave them eight hundred streets behind.”
Lin Zhiyi smiled, turned, and led her people upstairs.
Perhaps due to Gong Chen’s body being claid, the entire atmosphere at Gong Group was rather delicate.
After all, a change was looming.
To Lin Zhiyi’s surprise, she saw Bai Ruoshu in the lobby lounge.
Bai Ruoshu saw her but didn’t stand up, rely glanced at her ‘haggard’ face casually.
Elegantly lifted her coffee, toasted her with a smile, red lips silently mouthed four words.
May you find peace.
Clearly, Bai Ruoshu believed she had leaned against the big tree that was Gong Yao.
Lin Zhiyi ignored her and walked straight into the elevator.
Bai Ruoshu sipped her coffee, waiting for Gong Yao to finish his eting and take her to the celebration banquet.
At this mont, Yang Jingwei sent a ssage.
She looked at the content, squinted her eyes.
At this point.
Lin Zhiyi had just reached the entrance of the eting room when soone stopped her.
“Miss Lin, Zhou Zhao isn’t a Gong Group mber; it’s inconvenient for him to enter.”
Zhou Zhao said nonchalantly: “I’ll wait for you all outside; don’t worry, with here, nobody will dare to act out.”
“Hmm.”
Lin Zhiyi pushed open the door and entered the eting room.
Chen Jin glanced at Zhou Zhao, silently bypassing him.
The eting room door slowly closed.
Everyone looked at Lin Zhiyi’s ashen complexion, first frowning, then discreetly asuring the situation.
As Lin Zhiyi prepared to sit down, Old Mr. Gong tapped his knuckles on the table.
“Lin Zhiyi, you don’t need to sit down, to save trouble.”
Lin Zhiyi refused to comply with their wishes, gracefully seated herself in the center as everyone watched.
“Why shouldn’t I sit?”
“The five-day deadline is up; I’ve heard you haven’t shown up at the company for two days, and surely the work left by Gong Chen hasn’t been completed. You’ve already lost, so don’t ddle here.”
The old man looked cold, his gaze toward Lin Zhiyi also full of intimidation.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at him, gestured to Chen Jin behind her.
Chen Jin distributed the docunts.
Lin Zhiyi straightened her back: “Not being at the company doesn’t an I’m not working; I’ve completed all the tasks left by the Third Young Master; please review.”
Those who opened the files were sowhat surprised.
Even Old Mr. Gong and Gong Yao were taken aback; they couldn’t find a single fault.
Of course, they couldn’t find any.
It was work Gong Chen had handled himself.
Lin Zhiyi only needed to rember the key points he ntioned, guarding against these people’s inquiries.
“Any issues left?”
Lin Zhiyi spread her hands and asked.
The old man laid down the docunt, glancing at Gong Yao.
Gong Yao stood up and solemnly questioned: “Zhiyi, why did you forge the Third Young Master’s will?”
Hearing that, Lin Zhiyi paused.
“Are you planning to renege?”
Gong Yao frowned tightly: “Zhiyi, are you aware you’re breaking the law? If it weren’t for the old man considering your mother’s pregnancy, you would have been taken away by the police by now.”
“For your sake, for your mother’s sake, turn back now.”
It seed like persuasion, but the tone carried threats.
Lin Zhiyi clenched her fists, steadied herself: “Any evidence?”
Gong Yao seed prepared, and clapped his hands.
Gong Chen’s lawyer walked in.
Nervous, he dared not et Chen Jin’s eyes, speaking to himself: “It was Miss Lin and Assistant Chen who forced to do this.”
Before Lin Zhiyi could question, Gong Yao continued: “The notary public was dismissed for accepting bribes.”
“Zhiyi, you and Chen Jin must have planned this for a long ti, right?”
“Chen Jin being the Third Young Master’s confidant, recording the so-called notarized video while the Third Young Master was drunk wasn’t hard.”
“Zhiyi, you lost.”
Lin Zhiyi was quite impressed.
In the art of flipping the truth, she indeed lost.
Old Mr. Gong gradually stood up, looking at Lin Zhiyi with authority.
“Gong Chen is my son; how could he write a will without his father knowing?”
Lin Zhiyi sneered: “Son? A son that can be replaced at any ti?”
