Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1164: Just One Day Short

Son?

Impossible.

He never touched Song Wanqiu.

This time and space are the same.

Looking at the photo handed over by the old man.

Calculating the age of the child in the photo slightly, Gong Chen thought of that night years ago.

Song Wanqiu made an excuse to keep him at the apartment.

Before this, Song Wanqiu had been making small moves, and he had been on guard.

That night, he pretended to be drunk and fell asleep, and Song Wanqiu couldn’t do anything, but the next day she acted as if something had happened between them.

He was too lazy to debunk it, at least Song Wanqiu could stay quiet for a while.

So it’s impossible for this child to be his.

Gong Chen stood by, comparing matters of the two timelines with the old man.

He was quite certain the child was Li He’s.

Gong Chen looked at himself, and from his eyes, he determined that he had suspected it too.

But Lin Zhiyi’s video was in the old man’s hands, so he could only accept it.

He just wondered what expression the old man would have when he discovered in the future that the child had nothing to do with the Gong Family.

As a bystander, Gong Chen vigorously shook his head at himself, trying to stop him from falling into the trap again.

But Gong Chen knew in his heart that being born into such a family, he could not completely remove himself from it.

Especially after the Jiang Family’s twin siblings were kidnapped, with their remains found only years later.

Thus, the old man from the Jiang Family became extreme.

The heavy burden suffocated him.

Later, Gong Chen accompanied himself and Lin Zhiyi like air.

Yet he could only watch himself do a series of things that hurt Lin Zhiyi insincerely.

He always reminded himself to wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer...

Everything was about to end.

This had almost become his obsession.

He always thought that after it ended, he and Lin Zhiyi could be together well.

He thought he had protected Lin Zhiyi well.

But unbeknownst to him, Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing were already scarred emotionally and physically.

He didn’t even know about Xingxing’s death.

But the Gong Chen who was watching everything saw it clearly.

Watching his daughter curl up in pain from the infection, watching her repeatedly dial his number on her watch phone.

And the culprit Li He, pretending to be Li Huan, stood at the hospital door watching her die.

Then he used Xingxing’s death to further stimulate Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi’s slender body knelt by the bed, as if in the next moment she would follow Xingxing.

Gong Chen stood beside them, pain spreading in his heart.

He trembled and extended his hand, just about to touch Lin Zhiyi, when a force pulled him into a vortex.

When he steadied himself, he was back with himself again.

He took a family photo from a locked drawer that Lin Zhiyi thought he had thrown away.

In fact, he had hidden them.

Seeing Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing in the photo, his gloomy face finally showed a smile.

At this moment, Chen Jin pushed the door open and placed a document in front of him.

Gong Chen watched him open it, the words ’Divorce Agreement’ printed strikingly on it.

"Is the property handled properly?"

Chen Jin replied, "Everything has been taken care of, moving funds through Li Huan’s company so no one knows, all the money will be deposited into Third Madam’s overseas account, with an amount going into Miss’s fund. Even if Third Madam’s assets are discovered in the future, Miss’s money cannot be touched and will be enough for them to live worry-free for a lifetime."

He nodded, turned a few pages, finding a photo of a house.

Chen Jin continued, "The house in Switzerland has been arranged according to Third Madam and Miss’s preferences. Once the divorce agreement is signed, I will arrange for bodyguards to escort them onto a plane. As per your instructions, no one will know their true destination."

"Mm." He turned another page, showing a photo of a studio, "It looks like what Zhiyi described, she always wanted to be a jewelry designer. Going there, she can peacefully be a designer, her talent definitely will shine."

Chen Jin frowned slightly, "Third Young Master, really no need to explain the designs given to Song Wanqiu in your name by the old man? Third Madam still thinks you sent them."

"No need to say anymore." He glanced at the photos.

"But you are divorcing her, isn’t it right she should know the truth?"

Chen Jin worried they’d separate with regrets.

He hesitated for a long time, quickly signing the divorce agreement.

"Don’t tell. Tomorrow’s banquet is my last fight. If it fails, the Gong Family won’t want me anymore. I won’t be able to protect them. Hate me so it’ll be easier to forget me. If I succeed, I also don’t want to stay here. I’ll go find them."

"Yes."

Seeing everything unfold, Gong Chen immediately thought of something, rushing to himself.

"Stop! Don’t divorce! You’ll drive her to death! Tell her everything!"

He passed through Gong Chen’s body directly, donned a cold expression, and walked out of the office.

...

Raising his eyes again, before Gong Chen was a sea of fire.

Exactly like in his dreams.

He watched himself kneel outside the fire, crying out Lin Zhiyi’s name.

Gong Chen looked at the sea of flames, Lin Zhiyi clutching Xingxing’s ashes sat there.

She seemed to see him, lips trembling.

I hate you.

Gong Chen stood dumbly, firelight reflected in his pupils, heat waves seemed about to tear him apart.

The pain in his heart was dense, yet he was numbly unable to feel sorrow.

He finally understood Lin Zhiyi’s gaze on him the day she suddenly changed.

Hatred mixed with despair, yet without a tear.

Zhiyi, so the heart can truly hurt so much.

The fire burned for a day and night, Gong Chen watched himself calmly handle the funeral for mother and daughter.

He took out the wedding dress he had prepared for Lin Zhiyi from the safe.

"Put it on Zhiyi, she actually loves to look pretty."

"I had prepared the wedding dress long ago, but no one agreed to our marriage. Even the smallest wedding I couldn’t give her."

"I thought... I thought... just one day, one day..."

He choked repeatedly, tears bursting forth.

Finally, he wiped his face, took a deep breath.

"Chen Jin, what about them?"

"The old man... announced your and Song Wanqiu’s wedding date, also formally issued a statement, revealing the child’s identity. Because previously they painted the madam as a poisonous woman, so..."

So everyone felt Lin Zhiyi deserved her fate, even innocent Xingxing suffered insults.

Died uneasily.

Gong Chen smoothed out the wedding dress, sneered.

"Isn’t it wonderful."

"Third Young Master..."

Chen Jin had a foreboding feeling.

On the day of the wedding.

Gong Chen followed himself through the expansive hall, luxury visible everywhere.

Everyone was smiling.

As if Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing never existed.

Gong Chen watched Song Wanqiu holding his arm as they walked the red carpet, that child named Sichen dressed impeccably behind.

Young age, full of arrogance.

Before the ceremony began, the old man spoke excitedly.

He proudly introduced Song Wanqiu and the child, praising them lavishly.

"The Gong Family’s Third Madam is only Wanqiu, my Changsun is only Sichen."

Just as these words fell, the screen behind played footage of Song Wanqiu, Li He, and their family’s life abroad.

Showing Song Wanqiu plagiarizing Lin Zhiyi’s designs.

Also using Shen Yan, Liu Xinna, and Li He to falsify a paternity test, falsely accusing Lin Zhiyi of harming Song Wanqiu’s mother and child, illegally conducting surgery.

And the old man tacitly allowing doctors to kill Xingxing with evidence.

Everyone was stunned.

Nobody could laugh anymore.

But Gong Chen laughed.

He looked at the old man: "Satisfied? You let an outsider’s child into the family tree, making the entire family shameful because of you."

He leaned closer to the old man: "How does it feel to have a bastard child as your butler?"
