Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 925: Mrs. Sun

Chapter 925

Chapter 925: Chapter 925: Mrs. Sun
After the facial treatment, Lin Zhiyi finally relieved the dryness on her skin.
Just as Gong Chen and Manager Jia’s matters were wrapped up as well.
Mrs. Jia sent her back to the hotel and then left first.
As soon as Lin Zhiyi walked into the hotel, she saw Gong Chen standing in the lobby.
People around were absent-mindedly stealing glances at him.
A few women were already tempted to approach, and Lin Zhiyi quickly went up to him.
"Why are you standing here?"
"Judging by the time, you should be here. This hotel is quite large; I was worried you might go to the wrong place."
Gong Chen glanced around and reached out to hold Lin Zhiyi’s hand.
Lin Zhiyi laughed, "Third Young Master is actually being so considerate now."
"Let’s go, tell me about today’s gains."
"You first, how did it go?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"The Sun Family’s situation is not good at the moment. Some say the Sun Family made two strategic mistakes this year and lost quite a bit, while others say it has to do with Xia Wan. However, the Mrs. Sun here is not called Xia Wan," Gong Chen said.
"Then what is her name?"
"That’s the strange part. Most people call her Mrs. Sun, but no one really knows her real name," Gong Chen shook his head and said.
Lin Zhiyi was somewhat surprised, "She’s mingled to the point where she doesn’t even have a name?"
"She has too low a background. It’s normal for people to look down on her. She can only rely on the title of Mrs. Sun to have a foothold."
"Mrs. Jia’s friends said that Mrs. Sun once sought someone to do a major cosmetic surgery project, but the doctors in Lan City were not willing to do so many projects in a short period of time, so what happened afterward, even Mrs. Jia’s friends don’t know. They did say she had flattered a few powerful madams before, maybe they know."
Lin Zhiyi shared what she had learned with Gong Chen.
Gong Chen said, "Seems like we’ll have to wait until we meet the Sun family tomorrow to know the truth."
"Hmm."
Back in the room.
The two sat on the sofa and made a video call with Xingxing.
They also chatted with Gong Shiyan for a bit.
Gong Shiyan said, "These past two days Xia Wan hasn’t made any moves, and I’ve arranged for someone to watch Shirley too, but there’s no news. Why does it feel like both of them suddenly gave up?"
"If they had given up, they wouldn’t be provoking us at every turn. Second Brother, help leave some traces to make it seem like we’re still in Jing City, try not to let anyone find out." Gong Chen said.
"Don’t worry, with Chen Jin staying here, most will believe you are in Jing City."
"Alright," Gong Chen nodded.
Lin Zhiyi looked at Xingxing reluctantly, "Xingxing, we’ll be back in a couple of days."
Xingxing held her chin with both hands.
"Are you going to have a baby?"
"Uh... who taught you that?" Lin Zhiyi asked embarrassedly.
"Grandma... umm umm."
Liu He quickly covered Xingxing’s mouth.
She leaned in and said, "I was just joking, how does the kid say everything?"
"Mom," Lin Zhiyi called out softly.
Liu He cleared her throat and said, "If you two have the time, another one wouldn’t be too bad. Of course, I’m not rushing you, I just want things to be lively."
Lin Zhiyi was about to say something when Gong Chen placed his arm around her shoulders.
"I’ll do my best."
Lin Zhiyi blushed and nudged him.
"Why are you chatting with my mom?"
"Your mom hung up," Gong Chen leaned back lazily.
Lin Zhiyi put down her phone and seriously looked at Gong Chen.
"I hadn’t thought that far. I just feel like Xingxing has always been with me through tough times, and I just want to give her the best of everything."
"I know, don’t worry. I won’t pressure you. Having you and Xingxing is already enough for me."
At least it’s much better than in the dreams.
In the dreams, he seemed to gain a lot but lost even more.
Lin Zhiyi leaned into his arms, somewhat complaining, "I wonder when this kind of life will end."
Is she going to have to go through all the remaining matters of Gong Chen’s past life?
They must all be mind games and intrigue.
She’s a bit tired.
Tired from the past life, tired in this life too.
After a moment of silence, Gong Chen embraced her, "Soon."
Lin Zhiyi nestled in his arms and fell asleep without realizing it.
Gong Chen looked down at her face, dewy and fresh as if water could be squeezed from it.
He couldn’t help but give her a kiss, and it got out of control from there.
Kissing her face wasn’t enough; he kissed her lips and wrapped an arm around her waist.
She mumbled sleepily, "What are you doing? It tickles."
"Do you want a massage?" Gong Chen asked hoarsely.
"...Alright... be gentle."
"Yes, very gentle, very gentle..."
Much later.
Lin Zhiyi huffed, wrapping herself in the blanket.
Men’s words indeed cannot be trusted.
It wasn’t until the next day at noon that Lin Zhiyi finally felt rested.
Upon getting up, a set of clothes was hanging at the foot of the bed.
There was also a note left by Gong Chen on it.
"I’m off to have lunch with Manager Jia and the Sun family. I’ve arranged for lunch to be brought up; call them when you wake up. Don’t forget about the afternoon tea with Mrs. Jia."
Seeing the time, it was already past noon.
She hurriedly got up, washed up, and put on light makeup that matched the outfit Gong Chen had prepared.
Just in time for lunch to be delivered.
She ate a little, and soon her phone received information sent by Mrs. Jia.
It was about the few important madams for the afternoon tea.
She was worried Lin Zhiyi might inadvertently offend them.
After reading the information, Lin Zhiyi suddenly noticed something special.
Each of these madams had businesses in Jing City.
Could this be why Xia Wan was trying to get close to them?
After lunch, it was about time.
Lin Zhiyi quickly got up, put on the high heels prepared by Gong Chen, and went downstairs.
Mrs. Jia had been waiting.
"Third Madam, did you read the information I gave you?"
"Yes, thank you for the reminder," Lin Zhiyi said.
"Be careful with one, Mrs. Gao," Mrs. Jia warned.
Lin Zhiyi recalled, noting that Mrs. Gao’s information was just a few lines, mainly that she liked to hear compliments.
"What’s the issue with Mrs. Gao?"
"She’s an illegitimate daughter of a large family in Jing City, couldn’t marry well there, so she came to Lan City. The thing she despises most is her status as an illegitimate daughter. Once, Mrs. Sun accidentally mentioned it, and she’s held a grudge for years, always making things difficult for Mrs. Sun. Actually, we all know that Mrs. Gao being married here means her family has given up on her."
"Alright, I understand." Lin Zhiyi nodded.
In no time, they arrived at a high-end luxury store.
There was a fashion show for select members inside.
The madams loved having tea and chatting while watching models wearing new fashions strut by.
Professional staff were also on hand to introduce the items.
Lin Zhiyi followed Mrs. Jia and greeted others around.
Mrs. Jia had a good personality, so she was well-liked.
Soon, Lin Zhiyi too became acquainted with many people.
Then, the women with unusual status arrived.
"Mrs. Jia, who is this?"
"Miss Lin, a relative of my husband’s, she’s visiting, so I brought her out to see the world," Mrs. Jia said with a smile.
The leading woman appraised Lin Zhiyi briefly.
"Nicely dressed."
"Thank you," Lin Zhiyi replied, "But not as stylish as this madam. This coat is unique; it truly suits your temperament."
The woman smiled, "Good eye there. Would you like to help me pick out some clothes later?"
"Sure."
Lin Zhiyi sat in the front row with Mrs. Jia and the other madams.
As soon as she sat down, a sarcastic voice sounded next to her.
"Is this Miss Lin from Jing City? These high heels were just launched in Jing City. I had people queue up and still couldn’t get them, yet you’re wearing them so soon."
The speaker was none other than Mrs. Gao.
Her words drew others’ attention.
