Chapter 272 He Has Been Lying to Her All Along
Chapter 272 He Has Been Lying to Her All Along
Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen's leaving back, her eyes suddenly turned cold, but her expression was not at all surprised.
She looked up at the gray sky, and even her bitter smile seemed so pale.
Finally, everything was as she wished.
In the previous life, the car accident between Liu He and Gong Shiyan must have been related to this cooperation.
Gong Chen lied to her.
He said the car accident happened because Liu He and Gong Shiyan were trying to help her find evidence of Song Wanqiu's crime.
In fact, it just diverted her attention.
So much so that she didn't realize that the mysterious husband married to Wen Qing was Gong Shiyan.
What he didn't notice was that after the car accident, Gong Chen immediately started a big collaboration with Wen Qing.
In fact, everything has a traceable path. Song Wanqiu never mentioned the car accident in front of her.
Given Song Wanqiu's personality of saying one thing in public and another behind people's backs, she would definitely use this good opportunity to provoke and ridicule her.
Unfortunately, whenever she thought of Liu He's mutilated body, she couldn't sleep all night and was in a trance.
What kept her alive was her hatred for Song Wanqiu and the stars.
But in the end, the stars also died.
Only now did Lin Zhiyi realize that she had been living a huge lie.
Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, turned and left.
……
PARKING LOT.
The car door was open and Sang Ran held on to it, unable to breathe.
Gong Chen supported her and stuffed several pills into her mouth.
After a while, Sang Ran's complexion gradually improved. She snuggled up to Gong Chen and couldn't help but hug him tightly with her hands.
"Sorry, I just realized I left my bag on your car when I was taking my medicine."
"Take you to the hospital?"
"No, I've really been to the hospital enough, can you let me lean on you like this for a while?"
Sang Ran looked at Gong Chen with pleading eyes.
Gong Chen hummed, sat in the back seat and let her lean on him.
Sang Ran sniffed the scent on his body, closed her eyes with peace of mind, and even rubbed his coat affectionately.
until……
Gong Chen's voice was chilling: "How did President Wen and He Yao know each other?"
Sang Ran started to shudder, opened her eyes and looked up at him.
But no matter how carefully she looked, she still couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"When I was doing rehabilitation abroad, He Yao happened to be hospitalized for injuries from a fight with a thief who broke into the house. My aunt often came to see me, and that's how we met."
"Mr. Wen asked you to come over for dinner today. Do you know why?"
Gong Chen's voice suddenly turned colder.
Even the air around seemed to be frozen.
Sang Ran's pupils were slightly stunned, and she kept her head down and remained silent.
Almost at the same time, Gong Chen distanced himself from the two of them, and the warmth and sense of security disappeared.
The cold wind blowing in from the car door almost froze Sang Ran.
She held Gong Chen's hand in panic and nodded, "My aunt said she knew something interesting. Let me take a look. I really didn't know that Zhiyi and He Yao were discussing marriage here. You believe me."
"Ah."
Gong Chen responded coldly and withdrew his hand without leaving a trace.
Sang Ran lowered her eyes and looked at her empty palms. She bit her lip and said, "You seem to care a lot about... He Yao's marriage."
"No, since we want to discuss cooperation, I must find out the other party's background."
Gong Chen leaned back in his chair and answered nonchalantly, but the veins on the back of his hand were slightly bulging.
Sang Ran approached him: "Although He Yao looks rough, he is actually a good person. If he and Zhiyi are in love..."
"You go back first, it's windy outside." Gong Chen interrupted.
It was obvious that he didn't want to continue this topic.
Sang Ran paused, then nodded with a smile: "Okay."
Gong Chen got out of the car and turned around.
Sang Ran lowered the car window and called to him, "Third Master, the wedding dresses I ordered have arrived. Can you come with me to take a look?"
"Ah."
……
private hospital.
Lin Zhiyi bought some snacks that Liu He liked.
The marks on Liu He's face had faded a lot, but because he was so scared and couldn't sleep well, he looked very haggard.
"Mom, eat something first. Things have already progressed."
After hearing the progress, Liu He finally gave some response.
"Zhiyi, did you find that man?"
"No, but soon." Lin Zhiyi stuffed the chopsticks into her hand and asked, "Mom, can I ask you a question?"
Liu He nodded weakly: "You ask."
"If Song Wanqiu is fine and she keeps biting me, what will you do?"
Hearing this, Liu He's eyes turned red and she almost dropped her chopsticks.
"Zhiyi, do you also think I'm incompetent? In fact, seeing all the trouble you've gotten into, I almost wanted to fight Song Wanqiu to the death, but it was your uncle who persuaded me to back off."
"Uncle? What did he say?"
Lin Zhiyi pretended not to care as she poured soup for Liu He, but her attention was all on this sentence.
But she didn't dare to be too obvious, for fear that Liu He would worry.
Liu He drank two mouthfuls of soup, and then calmed down and spoke: "Your uncle only found out later that Song Wanqiu had saved the third brother, so the third brother tolerated her again and again."
"In fact, I found it strange at the time. If men don't understand women, how can I not understand women?"
"No matter how noble Song Wanqiu pretends to be, she is actually a coward at heart. How could she risk her life to save the third brother? I think there is something fishy going on."
"But when I wanted to investigate, Song Wanqiu got into trouble, and then Xiao Ran showed up. The truth was revealed, so I didn't investigate."
After hearing this, the box in Lin Zhiyi's hand fell to the ground.
The soup all spilled over her, burning into her skin with the oil.
She didn't feel any pain, but only felt that the blood in her body was boiling with hatred.
But even so, her face became paler and paler.
Because through Liu He's words, she finally figured out one thing.
Maybe Gong Chen didn't lie to her.
In her previous life, she and Xingxing were bullied so badly by Song Wanqiu that Liu He would cry every time she saw them being criticized.
But their abilities are too small in the upper class circle.
With Liu He's mentality, she would start from the fact that Song Wanqiu saved Gong Chen, as she said now.
Lin Zhiyi knew who the witness was that she and Gong Shiyan had gone to see in the heavy rain.
Sang Ran.
Gong Shiyan and Wen Qing know each other, so it would be even easier for them to find Sang Ran and prove the credibility of the whole thing than for Gong Chen.
Maybe they saw it, maybe they didn't.
But no matter what, after they got into trouble, Gong Chen was definitely the first person to know about Sang Ran's existence.
He was also the first person to know that Song Wanqiu was a fake.
However, he did not expose Song Wanqiu and even concealed the existence of Sang Ran.
There could only be one reason: he wanted to protect Sang Ran.
At that time, Song Wanqiu used almost all of his conspiracies and tricks on Lin Zhiyi.
If she knew her identity was discovered, the first thing she would do would be to get rid of Sang Ran.
So Gong Chen never mentioned Sang Ran.
But Lin Zhiyi lived with the guilt of losing her mother, and then lost her daughter.
In the end, she committed suicide.
Sang Ran, who did not appear from beginning to end, remained clean.
Just like now, she is the little princess held in everyone's hands.
Lin Zhiyi felt dizzy and fell backwards.
"Knowledge!"
