Chapter 222 Never Choosing Her
Chapter 222 Never Choosing Her
Gong Chen looked very unhappy.
He narrowed his eyes with a chill in his eyes: "Lin Zhiyi."
Lin Zhiyi looked him straight in the eyes: "Don't you know what the old man did today? Is it fun to see us mother and daughter struggling? I really don't want to play this kind of game with you anymore. What happened that night is long over, uncle."
The only thing between them is to call him uncle.
There was a cold light in Gong Chen's eyes, and he turned and walked towards the trash can.
Lin Zhiyi looked at his back with complicated feelings, not knowing whether she hoped he would pick up the bag or just let it go.
But she knew that with every step he took closer, her heart became more nervous.
Just as Gong Chen was about to stop the servant, a scream was heard from the garden path.
Looking over, Sang Ran, who was wearing a prosthetic limb, seemed to have tripped over a stone slab and fell to the ground.
Lin Zhiyi subconsciously looked at Gong Chen.
He stopped.
Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath, the breath in her throat trembling with heavy bitterness, pressing down on her whole body.
In fact, she already knew the result, but she still watched Gong Chen turn around and run towards Sang Ran in a masochistic manner.
Her scarf was carried into the garbage truck along with the trash can.
Whether it was Song Wanqiu or Sang Ran now, Gong Chen never chose her.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Zhiyi didn't want to be too rude, so he walked up anyway.
"Miss Sang, are you okay?"
Sang Ran smiled and shook her head, then lifted her skirt generously to reveal her mechanical legs.
"My brother gave me a new one. It's comfortable, but I haven't gotten used to it yet. Sorry, is this a bit embarrassing?"
"No, the cobblestone road here is difficult to walk on. I've tripped before and it was raining at the time. I slid a long way, which was embarrassing." Lin Zhiyi tactfully resolved her embarrassment.
Sang Ran understood and looked at her gratefully.
Otherwise, how would she have the face to stay here after falling like this in front of the person she loves?
Sang Ran changed the subject and said, "By the way, Zhiyi, have you drunk the medicinal food? I saw you were busy just now, so I specifically asked the Third Master to leave some for you."
Lin Zhiyi paused, it turned out that this was Sang Ran's intention.
She looked at Sang Ran's clear eyes and couldn't get angry. She smiled and nodded: "I drank it, thank you."
"It's okay...hiss."
Sang Ran was about to stand up straight, but the prosthesis on her leg seemed to be uncomfortable and she frowned deeply.
She looked at Gong Chen in embarrassment: "Third Master, my wheelchair is in the house, can I..."
"Ah."
Gong Chen picked up Sang Ran without saying a word.
When turning to leave, Sang Ran looked at Lin Zhiyi with a blushing face, and put her index finger on her lips playfully.
She was pretending, but she didn't have any bad intentions. She just wanted the person she liked to hug her.
Lin Zhiyi nodded, and immediately felt that it was right that all the elders at the table liked Sang Ran.
She would have liked it if it hadn't been such an awkward encounter.
She couldn't stand this kind of oppression anymore and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
At this time, the servant came over pushing two empty trash cans.
Lin Zhiyi stopped and asked: "Throw them all away?"
The servant nodded: "Yes, the Gong family does not allow garbage to stay overnight."
"Too."
Lin Zhiyi said nothing more and walked into the kitchen. Liu He was feeding fruit to Gong Shiyan.
Seeing this, she sat opposite the two of them.
"Uncle, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"You say." Gong Shiyan straightened his body.
"Don't invite me to any activities of the Gong family from now on. I mean no matter how big or small. If the old man insists on having me come, please help me refuse. You know he will definitely mention my mother."
It's said to be a suggestion, but in fact it's a threat.
Hearing this, Gong Shiyan's face became more serious. He understood the hidden meaning of Lin Zhiyi's words.
We are no longer a family from now on, and no matter how related we are, it doesn’t matter.
"Zhiyi, you've been wronged."
"Uncle, please take good care of my mother." Lin Zhiyi asked with a smile.
Liu He wanted to scold Lin Zhiyi, but when she thought about how the three of them had huddled in the kitchen to eat today, she finally realized that she was the one who had dragged Lin Zhiyi down.
It was she who forced Lin Zhiyi to come back again and again to endure this humiliation.
She immediately put on a smile: "Take good care of yourself."
"I am leaving."
Lin Zhiyi put on her bag and left without looking back.
……
A moment later, the butler came to the kitchen.
"Second Master, Second Madam, Miss Sang is leaving."
"Yeah. We'll be right there."
Gong Shiyan straightened his clothes and walked out holding Liu He's hand.
The housekeeper immediately said, "The old man asked Miss Lin to see the guests off together."
"Zhiyi has something to do and left first." Gong Shiyan refused.
"Second Master, why don't you call her and ask her to come back to see the guests off. The old man is still waiting for her." The housekeeper reminded.
"What? Miss Sang can't go out without Zhiyi today? Otherwise, I will let you be the head of the second house! My daughter still needs you to command her?" Gong Shiyan said angrily.
"No, I dare not."
The butler took two steps back.
Gong Shiyan snorted coldly and walked out with Liu He.
Under the porch.
When Mr. Gong saw that Lin Zhiyi didn't come, he immediately scolded her: "It's unruly."
Gong Shiyan put his hands behind his back and said, "Dad, there is no rule in our family that does not allow family members to eat at the table."
"You..." Old Master Gong frowned and said, "Inform her that Xiao Ran and her brother will be entertained in the mansion in a few days. Ask her to come early and don't be so rude!"
"No, she won't come. From now on, all the affairs of the Gong family have nothing to do with her. There is no need for her to be a witness. Everything ends here."
Gong Shiyan always thought that if the old man spent more time with Lin Zhiyi, he would like her.
But he was wrong.
Regardless of whether they are related by blood or not, the old man will not like anyone who does not please him.
Old Master Gong was extremely angry. Just as he was about to explode, he saw Sang Ran and Gong Chen coming out together, and he immediately put on a smile.
"Xiao Ran, let Gong Chen take you back."
"Thank you, uncle." Sang Ran looked at the crowd, "Where's Zhiyi? Why isn't she here?"
Just as Mr. Gong was about to sneer, Gong Shiyan said, "Miss Sang, Zhiyi left for something. She's been busy with work lately, so she won't attend any banquets."
Sang Ran felt a little disappointed, but expressed her understanding: "It's okay, I knew she was a beautiful and capable woman as soon as I saw her."
"Third Master, let's go first."
As she spoke, she controlled the wheelchair, but the man beside her did not move, as if he was lost in thought.
"Third Master? What's wrong with you?"
Gong Chen came back to his senses and glanced at her coldly: "Nothing, get in the car."
After helping Sang Ran into the car, Chen Jin put away the wheelchair and drove away from the palace.
Sang Ran talked a lot, about her college days and her rehabilitation training after amputation.
She didn't complain about anything, but wanted to communicate more with the cold man in front of her.
Just as she was talking about a kitten she rescued, Gong Chen pursed her thin lips.
"parking."
Sang Ran was embarrassed: "Did I talk too much?"
"No, I just remembered something, so I asked Chen Jin to take you back."
Having said that, Gong Chen pushed the door and got out of the car.
Sang Ran's face turned pale, and she stretched out her hand to try to stop him: "Third Master, my brother wants to see you in a few days..."
