Chapter 600: Chapter 600: Private Chauffeur
A man’s hand?
Lin Zhiyi was startled; she had clearly checked it.
She quickly opened the video and indeed saw a long, pale hand appear in the corner.
A luxurious half-piece of a watch was exposed on the wrist.
Lin Zhiyi turned her head to stare at Gong Chen’s watch, speaking with a hint of hope.
“Third Young Master, this watch shouldn’t be difficult to buy, right?”
“Not difficult, the auction house requires verification of funds first,” Gong Chen said indifferently.
“…”
That’s called not difficult?
But doesn’t that an this watch only appeared at the auction house?
Ordinary people definitely don’t know how expensive it is.
Besides, what can you tell from just half a watch?
Most auctions are anonymous.
Or there’s phone commissioning, where soone holds up a number and continuously makes phone calls during the auction.
So transactions go back and forth several tis, and you still don’t know who the seller is or who the buyer is.
This is how the real big shots operate.
Lin Zhiyi patted her chest, relieved from a false alarm.
She saw the comnts becoming increasingly popular, about to be pinned, and quickly replied.
“Driver.”
After replying, Lin Zhiyi found Gong Chen was staring at the screen.
Worried he might overthink, she quickly explained, “We agreed not to go public. At such a critical mont, we can’t let anything slip up.”
Gong Chen smiled enigmatically, “Hmm. But don’t you want to check the replies first?”
Lin Zhiyi was a bit confused, but still picked up her phone to check the replies.
“What kind of driver is this rich, able to afford a watch worth tens of millions?”
“This is not the kind of watch that just anyone with money can buy.”
“Lin Zhiyi says it’s a driver, could it be… a pet na? Quite playful.”
Pet na?
Pet…
Lin Zhiyi turned to look at Gong Chen, biting her lip, “Why didn’t you remind ?”
Gong Chen calmly played dumb, “I thought you did it on purpose.”
“I think you’re the one doing it on purpose! How am I supposed to smooth this over?”
“To love or not to love, it’s all about honesty.”
The man approached her, savoring the words, his voice deeper, low and coaxing.
Lin Zhiyi looked at him, realizing he hadn’t reminded her on purpose.
She squeezed her phone, responding to the doubts.
“Exclusive driver.”
It was a response to her connection with the man in the photo.
Just as she clicked send, a light breath brushed against her ear.
Before she could react, the man urgently kissed her lips.
After a brief taste, he hoarsely said, “Should’ve known not to give you the car; otherwise, what need would you have for as your exclusive driver?”
“I don’t even dare drive the car you gave ; last ti I drove out for breakfast and nearly scratched it. My breakfast only cost twenty-eight, forget about repainting; even the fuel cost wasn’t covered,” Lin Zhiyi complained.
“I’ll go with you to practice driving in a couple of days. The more you drive, the better.”
Fortunately, he didn’t say to stop driving altogether.
Lin Zhiyi nodded, “Alright.”
…
Bai Family.
“Lin Zhiyi!”
Bai Ruoshu smashed a tea set in front of her, calming down only afterward.
Outside the door, Yang Jingwei waited until she finished venting her anger before entering with an ice pack.
“Calm down, at least the online controversy has lessened a lot now. Your father acted out of montary impatience; let see your face.”
Bai Ruoshu then obediently sat down, allowing Yang Jingwei to apply the ice pack to her cheek.
“Your father still cares about you; he didn’t hit you hard. The swelling will go down by tomorrow.”
“The most important thing right now is to secure your father’s collaboration with the Gong Group.”
Bai Ruoshu turned her head slightly, gritting her teeth, “I won’t let Lin Zhiyi get away with this! If it wasn’t for her, the Third Young Master wouldn’t have treated like this! My father wouldn’t have hit either!”
Yang Jingwei patted her back, comforting her, “Alright, enough venting; after all, you still have to deal with your design issue.”
Thinking of the design, a trace of malice flashed across Bai Ruoshu’s previously aggrieved face.
She turned and pulled the pad, originally facing away from her, to the front, then raised the volu.
“Ah! Ah!”
The room was suddenly filled with the woman’s shrill and painful cries.
In the video, a skinny woman lay on the ground, her already thin clothes soaked through with blood.
Yang Jingwei rely glanced at the screen unfeelingly, with no ripple of emotion.
It seed she was used to such scenes.
Bai Ruoshu pointed at the man whipping in the video, “Hit her hard for !”
“Yes, Miss.”
The man raised the whip and swung it as if he weren’t facing a living being but an object.
The woman scread continuously, rolling on the ground in pain.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Stop hitting!” the woman pleaded.
Bai Ruoshu was indifferent, sneering.
“Letting you design for was giving you face, and you ca up with this crap? Daring to make lose face.”
Recently, while helping deal with Lin Zhiyi, she hadn’t even looked at the new designs and gave them directly to the studio.
She never expected those fools in the studio not to check!
The more Bai Ruoshu thought about it, the angrier she got, glaring fiercely at the woman on the screen.
“What? You think causing a commotion will save you?”
“Today, I’ll kill one to warn the others! Deal with her for !”
As her words fell.
The man tightened the whip, changing direction, revealing three trembling won in the corner.
Bai Ruoshu said coldly, “If you dare to play tricks, you’ll be the next ones.”
The three looked terrified, nodding vigorously, “Yes, yes, Miss.”
Soon, the woman on the ground stopped moving.
The man put away the whip, allowing others to co in and drag the blood-soaked woman away.
Yang Jingwei stood up and walked to the front of the cara, saying to the man, “Don’t let it go to waste.”
“Yes, Madam,” the man complied.
Bai Ruoshu held the ice pack against her cheek, threatening the other three won, “In three days, I want satisfactory designs. Pay attention to maintaining consistent style.”
“Yes,” one of the won took the lead in replying.
The next second, Bai Ruoshu turned off the video.
“I don’t know where Dad found these useless people! They can’t even handle this simple task!”
“Ruoshu, don’t be mad; don’t forget the art gallery still relies on them,” Yang Jingwei advised.
“What are you afraid of? An art school graduates countless students every year.”
Bai Ruoshu didn’t care about these people.
Yang Jingwei, equally indifferent, shifted the topic, “Once they deliver the designs, I’ll find soone to help you promote them. We’ll make sure to outshine Lin Zhiyi, and your reputation can be restored.”
“Hmm.”
After venting, Bai Ruoshu felt much better.
Just sit down, and her phone rang again.
It was a voice ssage from Gong Yao.
After listening, Bai Ruoshu’s face turned pale.
She imdiately replied, “Gong Yao, what exactly do you want to do?”
“Let’s talk in person.”
After sending the eting ti and place, Gong Yao went silent.
Bai Ruoshu could only stare blankly at her hand.
Sensing sothing was wrong, Yang Jingwei got up and walked over to her.
“What’s going on?”
“Gong Yao has recordings of our conversations within the Gong Group. If released, everyone will know it was I who pushed Ye Feifei to attempt killing Lin Zhiyi,” Bai Ruoshu said worriedly.
Yang Jingwei imdiately supported her.
“Weren’t you always careful? How did he find out?”
“I don’t know, Mom, what should we do now? Could he resent and switch sides to Third Young Master, releasing the recordings?”
In the end, Bai Ruoshu was scared.
She had worked hard for years to achieve her current status.
If her image and reputation were destroyed, Bai Zhengxian would definitely be furious.
Yang Jingwei reassured her, “If he really wanted to release them, he wouldn’t notify you. Since he’s eting you, he must want to discuss sothing. Now that he and his mother are in an awkward position in the Gong Family, they may not dare to offend you.”
“Right.”
Bai Ruoshu breathed a sigh of relief.
…
In the dim room, three won huddled together.
“Sister, I’m scared, why aren’t my parents coming to save yet?”
“But, but… what do we do? No one can decipher the ssage we sent out, and now soone’s dead…”
The woman looked ashen and said, “Once you’re here, forget about your parents saving you.”
“But, but… what do we do? No one can decipher the ssage we sent out, and now soone’s dead…”
“Did you hear Bai Ruoshu ntion a na?”
