Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

The door was pushed open.

Yang Jingwei was not in a hurry, believing that the scene inside would be enough to shock these high-society individuals.

A mother, daughter, and a man...

She was curious about how Lin Zhiyi would choose in the end.

Sacrifice Liu He? Or sacrifice herself?

Unexpectedly, everyone looked at Yang Jingwei with awkward expressions.

"Well... Mrs. Bai, it's nothing, young people are full of vigor and passion, it's normal."

Yang Jingwei snapped back to her senses and frowned.

"What are you talking about? What does Lin Zhiyi have to do with me..."

The next second, Yang Jingwei saw Bai Ruoshu pinned under Gong Yao.

"Ah!"

The pair in the room were so engrossed that they didn't hear the sound of the door being pried open, only reacting to Yang Jingwei's scream.

Bai Ruoshu pushed the man off her and hurriedly wrapped herself in clothes.

"What happened? How are you here?"

"Weren't you the one who asked me to come?"

Gong Yao rubbed his aching head, unable to think straight.

"No! No!"

Bai Ruoshu screamed, showing no hint of dignity.

Seeing this, Bai Zhengxian looked at Yang Jingwei with displeasure.

Yang Jingwei quickly grabbed a blanket from the sofa to cover Bai Ruoshu, signaling her not to speak recklessly.

"There must be some misunderstanding here."

Bai Ruoshu wanted to explain but couldn't remember anything.

The only thing she remembered was drinking a glass of water and waiting to see Lin Zhiyi and Liu He's drama unfold.

Then she drifted off into a daze.

The same went for Gong Yao, who didn't remember either.

A server told him that Bai Ruoshu was looking for him. After taking a few steps, a fog enveloped his eyes, and he fainted.

They exchanged glances, instantly understanding what had happened.

They had been set up.

"Misunderstanding? Are you saying that Miss Bai was coerced? Miss Bai, if you're wronged, speak out; the Gong Family will give you justice."

The speaker was none other than Gong Chen.

"Gong Chen! What are you saying?" the old master interrupted unhappily.

"Is there a problem? Miss Bai was raised in a strict household and wouldn't casually do something like this with a man, but now that they've already done the deed, should we let others say our Gong Family is irresponsible?" Gong Chen spoke coldly.

His remark silenced Bai Ruoshu's attempts to argue; she couldn't afford to take on the connotation of "casual."

The old master, initially angry, relaxed his expression upon hearing the phrase "done the deed."

He looked at Gong Yao and switched his tone.

"You young people love thrills, I don't object. Now that things have come to this, your relationship should be made public. Gong Yao must take responsibility for Miss Bai."

Gong Yao was stunned for a few seconds before immediately grasping the old master's meaning.

"Yes, Dad, Ruoshu and I have indeed been together for some time, I didn't expect things to turn out this way today."

"What did you say! You..."

Bai Ruoshu turned to look at Gong Yao, but her hand was tightly gripped by his under the blanket.

Gong Yao stared at her intently.

At this point, was there a better explanation?

Bai Ruoshu gritted her teeth and could only nod.

"Yes, we are indeed together. I'm sorry for what happened today."

Seeing this, Yang Jingwei and Bai Zhengxian could only accept this explanation.

Just then, Lin Zhiyi's voice came from the doorway.

"Why are you all here?"

Everyone turned to find Lin Zhiyi holding up Liu He, looking into the room.

Lin Zhiyi walked in and, seeing the two undressed people, didn't show surprise; instead, she smiled.

"True lovers eventually end up together. Now Miss Bai won't have to always go to the Gong Group. Congratulations to both of you."

With her adding fuel to the fire, everyone believed the affair between Bai Ruoshu and Gong Yao.

The two wouldn't find it easy to break up.

Bai Ruoshu gripped the blanket tightly, her hatred for Lin Zhiyi shared with Yang Jingwei beside her.

Lin Zhiyi met their gazes, smiling lightly, raising her hand to touch the necklace on her chest.

The necklace that had fallen from the man.

Bai Ruoshu and Yang Jingwei's eyes froze.

This was called an eye for an eye.

Like spreading false accusations? Now that you're being accused falsely, doesn't it feel terrible, unable to defend yourself?

The alliance of Bai Ruoshu and Gong Yao involved her and Gong Chen's handiwork, did they really think there would be no suspicion?

But Yang Jingwei never considered giving Liu He and the unborn child any leeway.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's disperse."

Gong Chen lifted his eyes, his gaze dark, as if looking at Lin Zhiyi or at everyone present.

The crowd immediately left the room.

Gong Chen took Lin Zhiyi's hand and left, glancing at the remaining people as he turned.

As if to mock: I said it couldn't be Lin Zhiyi.

Their faces turned dark.

The door closed.

The old master turned to Bai Zhengxian, smiling.

"President Bai, Gong Yao has already discussed cooperation with you. Now you're practically family. How about we have a meal together another day, so Gong Yao can properly apologize to you?"

Bai Zhengxian understood the underlying meaning of the old master's words.

Since they were to collaborate, he had to accept this matter, or else no deal.

He could only force a smile and nod, "Alright."

The old master nodded, leading the fully dressed Gong Yao out of the room.

In the end, only Bai Zhengxian and his family remained inside.

Yang Jingwei cautiously stepped forward.

"Honey... ah!"

A slap sent Yang Jingwei sprawling onto the floor.

The gentleness on Bai Zhengxian's face disappeared, replaced by malice.

"Did you forget something? Am I dead? What day is it today? Playing tricks under my nose, are you?"

Yang Jingwei covered her face, hardly daring to breathe, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Bai Zhengxian looked at Bai Ruoshu, his previous doting gaze now gone.

He spoke coldly, "Ruoshu, you should understand what your father means."

"I understand. I will cooperate with Gong Yao," Bai Ruoshu said softly.

"Good. Prepare to meet the guests with Gong Yao later; don't lose your dignity," Bai Zhengxian instructed.

Bai Ruoshu fully understood the Bai Family's rules and dared not object, only nodding.

"Alright."

"I've arranged a meeting. You two continue entertaining the guests. Make sure the invitations to the boat are delivered to everyone without any mistakes."

Bai Zhengxian looked at the mother and daughter, narrowing his eyes.

Yang Jingwei stood, nodding, "Certainly."

In the end, Bai Zhengxian couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer.

"Ruoshu, I'll have someone send you another dress you like."

"Thank you, Dad."

Bai Ruoshu smiled, watching Bai Zhengxian leave.

As the door closed, Bai Ruoshu's expression changed abruptly.

"Mom, I want Lin Zhiyi dead!"

Yang Jingwei hugged her, gently patting a few times.

"Alright, they all have to die."

Especially Liu He, she's already learned too much.

...

After leaving the room, Bai Zhengxian didn't return to the main hall.

Instead, he followed his assistant to a conference room on the second floor.

At this time, many influential people from Jing City were already seated inside.

Seeing him enter, they all stood up.

"President Bai."

"We're all friends here, no need to stand on ceremony. But since you've gained so many benefits from me, isn't it time you did something in return?"

Bai Zhengxian still wore a smile, but his eyes were filled with threat.

Everyone looked at each other.

"President Bai, what do you want us to do?"

"The Gong Family has held sway over Jing City's economy for so long. Don't you all want to see some new blood in charge?"

Bai Zhengxian's hint was clear.

Someone said, "The Third Young Master is hard to deal with."

"Once you're on the boat, what use is the Third Young Master? What do you all think?" Bai Zhengxian countered.

"..."
