Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Wedding as Usual "What evidence?" Qin Shuang asked eagerly.
Shen Yan immediately opened the recording on her phone, and the display showed the time was last Christmas.
At that time, Lin Zhiyi and Shen Yan were particularly close and talked about everything.
Suddenly, Lin Zhiyi thought of something and her face turned so pale it was almost translucent, even her clenched fists trembled.
In the past, Shen Yan had always stayed by Song Wanqiuâs side, how could it be just by acting pitiful?
She also secretly gathered leverage.
The recording started.
"Zhiyi, youâre staring at the fireworks, arenât you secretly making a wish?"
"No," Lin Zhiyiâs voice with a nasal tone, seemingly embarrassed at having her thoughts exposed.
"Still denying it? Your face is all red, are you thinking about Third Young Master again?"
"Shh! Be careful, someone might hear! Heâs already with someone else."
"Itâs just between us, just chatting, what were you thinking about just now?"
Shen Yan kept pestering, and Lin Zhiyi hesitated for a moment before finally speaking with a smile.
"I didnât make a wish; I was just daydreaming about a family of three I saw lining up in front."
"Oh~ you were secretly thinking of marrying Third Young Master! And even having a family of three! So, do you want a daughter or a son?"
Lin Zhiyi didnât argue, what girl hasnât fantasized about marrying the one she loves and having a happy life forever?
She chuckled lightly, "A daughter."
The recording abruptly stopped.
Lin Zhiyi bit her nearly bloodless lips, standing still in a daze.
Daughter.
She had one before.
When she gave birth to Xingxing, she really thought her dream had come true.
Turns out it was just a nightmare.
At this moment, she glanced at Gong Chenâs deeply furrowed brow and slowly lowered her eyelids.
She didnât explain because even if she told Gong Chen that she had been drunk at the time, he wouldnât believe her.
He had never believed her concerning the matter with Song Wanqiu.
Shen Yan shouted loudly, "You all heard it, Lin Zhiyi has always wanted to have a daughter for Third Young Master. Now Miss Song is pregnant, and she is jealous!"
A shadow fell in front of Lin Zhiyiâs eyes, a man looking down at her from above with a distant expression, as if separated by a thin layer of frost.
"Is the recording true?"
"..."
Lin Zhiyi couldnât deny it, because she didnât know what else Shen Yan had up her sleeve.
Her silence became her admission.
Old Mr. Gong said without any politeness, "Shameless!"
Qin Shuang suddenly rushed over, tearing at Lin Zhiyi, "You are so evil!"
This was nothing compared to the vile and ugly curses Qin Shuang and Song Wanqiu usually had for Lin Zhiyi in private.
She felt nothing.
But facing Gong Chenâs cold gaze, her body in the midst of the struggle felt as if it was shackled, unable to resist.
Eventually it was Liu He who, feeling sorry for her, disregarded Old Mr. Gongâs stern look and went ahead to pull Qin Shuang away.
"Let go!"
As they struggled, Liu Heâs body seemed to trip over something and she fell directly to the ground.
The package she originally had for Lin Zhiyi also fell out.
The poorly taped box burst open upon hitting the ground.
A box of medicine fell out.
Neither Lin Zhiyi nor Liu He saw it clearly, but Qin Shuang grabbed it.
She stared at the medicine box: "Mifepristone, used for... medical abortion! Ah! For abortion!"
She threw the medicine box away in horror.
And it just so happened to land at Old Mr. Gongâs feet.
A butler by his side picked up the medicine box and handed it to him.
Old Mr. Gongâs face changed drastically after seeing it clearly, "Youâre not pregnant, what are you doing with this? Youâve been planning to harm Wanqiuâs child all along!"
"I never bought any medicine," Lin Zhiyi stared at the medicine box, her voice dry.
Everything happened too fast, her mind went blank, and it took her a long time to muster the least helpful sentence.
Old Mr. Gong glanced at the butler.
The butler turned and left.
Gong Chen also glanced at Chen Jin, who slightly nodded, having already sent the message.
freÑweÉnovel.com Then, he slowly walked up to Shen Yan.
"Send me the recording later."
"Yes," Shen Yan responded, her eyes reddening, looking pitifully, "Third Young Master, I really had no idea Zhiyi would be so crazy. Itâs my fault for not being able to bear her secretly joining others to suppress me, so today I wanted to ask her to let me off, but I didnât expect her to end up hurting Miss Song."
"Who?" Gong Chenâs eyes sharply fixed on Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was stunned, "Who, what?"
"Who did she join with? Give me the names."
"I..."
Shen Yanâs shoulders trembled.
At that moment, the operation room door opened and the doctor ran out hurriedly.
"Sorry, Third Young Master, we couldnât save the child, and the patient is now in urgent need of a blood transfusion due to severe hemorrhaging."
As he spoke, nurses hurriedly ran with blood bags.
Upon hearing that his grandson was lost, a surge of anger rose in Old Mr. Gong, and without considering propriety, he grabbed a blood bag and smashed it on Lin Zhiyiâs head.
"This family has been restless all because of you! I should have driven you and your daughter out the first time I met you!"
The blood bag burst from hitting the clip in Lin Zhiyiâs hair, drenching her head in blood.
As the blood dripped, cold and bone-chilling, she watched the surrounding fearful, dodging eyes, feeling like an ancient demon shunned by all.
Her tightly clenched fist gradually loosened, her eyes revealing bottomless pale helplessness, like a motionless lake surface without a ripple.
Old Mr. Gong wanted to step forward when Gong Chen raised his hand to block him.
"Gong Chen, what do you mean? You lost your child! Is this how you explain to Wanqiu?"
"No, I donât want to waste my time now on unimportant people. Wanqiuâs safety is more important."
Gong Chenâs deep eyes fixed on the elder, unmoving.
Old Mr. Gong took a deep breath and stepped back.
Gong Chen waved at Chen Jin.
Chen Jin quickly approached to take Lin Zhiyi away, but the old man loudly stopped him.
"Hold on! Have I said sheâs all clear? Even if pushing and shoving isnât clear cut, this medicine enough proves she had premeditated harm, and the person to take her away should not be Chen Jin, but the police."
Lin Zhiyi paused her breathing, wiping the blood stains from her eyes with difficulty, looking at Old Mr. Gong.
Those sharp eyes constantly told her that he wouldnât be at peace until he had destroyed her.
Gong Chen, expressionless, nodded, "Thatâs better."
"But better have evidence that can convict, otherwise even if sheâs detained, it would just be for a few days, meaningless."
"It would only make Wanqiu bear the injustice of having wronged someone, which she doesnât like."
Lin Zhiyi paused, turning her impending explanation into an exceptionally arduous task, bitterness rising from her throat, leaving her speechless.
Just like that, she was condemned to death.
As the words fell, the butler returned.
He whispered into the elderâs ear, "No record."
Old Mr. Gongâs eyebrows furrowed deeply, glaring at Lin Zhiyi.
"Chen Jin, take her away."
Gong Chenâs voice was not loud, but his tone was indisputable, standing firm even against the elder.
Lin Zhiyi was led away by Chen Jin like a lost soul, not even turning back as she passed by Gong Chen.
Not even a glance.
No resentment, no grievance, no complaint, no defiance... nothing.
Except for the bloodstains on the floor, she seemed as if she had never been there.
Watching her back, Gong Chen couldnât help but clench his fist as if trying to grasp something, but catching nothing.
Soon, Song Wanqiu was returned to the ward.
Upon waking, the first thing she did was to throw herself into Gong Chenâs arms crying.

"Itâs all right."
"Third Young Master, without our child, how can I still hope to marry you?" She looked at Gong Chen with tearful eyes.
Gong Chen looked down, his eyes deep and inscrutable, and said softly, "The wedding will proceed as planned."
