Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1153: Betrayed at Such a Young Age

Yu Mei looked at Lin Zhiyi in astonishment: "What did you say?"

"Reporter Yu, is this hard to understand? Your son wasn’t taught well, that’s your responsibility as a parent, not a consequence we have to bear. He doesn’t understand, do you not understand either?" Lin Zhiyi retorted.

"You..."

"Is there a problem? If so, when the surveillance reveals the truth, I don’t mind having my assistant bring in a lawyer to clearly define responsibility and compensation with you." Lin Zhiyi warned.

Mentioning compensation, Yu Mei’s expression cracked a little.

Surveillance can’t fool anyone, if this really gets out in the open, it’ll be a loss of face.

She held her son’s hand, turned, and looked at Lin Zhiyi: "Lin Zhiyi, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not teaching my son properly. I’ll discipline him well when we get home."

"Wait a minute, you don’t need to tell me how you educate your child, just don’t blame this matter on me."

Lin Zhiyi could understand a bit from her resentful gaze.

She blamed today’s mistake all on Lin Zhiyi.

After having her mind exposed, Yu Mei’s face turned all shades of blue and red.

Unable to hold back any longer, Yu Mei turned to leave, but the long-suffering teacher suddenly called out to her.

"Yuanbao’s mom, only Yuanbao hasn’t paid the school’s fees yet, I hope you can settle it within a week."

Yu Mei’s face got even uglier, and she ran off without looking back.

Lin Zhiyi curiously asked: "Teacher, what’s going on with the fees?"

The teacher explained: "Originally, they were all supposed to be paid together, but Yuanbao’s mom said she had some issues and needed to delay it. The principal agreed, not expecting it to drag on until now. Considering the child’s feelings, we can’t just kick him out."

Lin Zhiyi knew the yearly kindergarten fees were around two hundred thousand, which shouldn’t be a big deal for a family like Yu Mei’s.

It seemed Yu Mei’s family was in quite a crisis.

Lin Zhiyi had to make some preparations.

She looked at the teacher: "Teacher, let’s not beat around the bush, you recorded just now, right? In this environment, with all these significant people, you surely recorded to protect yourself."

The teacher’s eyes showed some panic: "President Lin..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll pretend I don’t know, but I want a copy of the recording to protect myself just like you." Lin Zhiyi smiled slightly.

The teacher breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, understood."

"Then I’ll take Xingxing home now." Lin Zhiyi turned and thanked the little friend who helped earlier.

Except Jingjing.

In the school corridor, Lin Zhiyi saw Jingjing’s photo.

The full name was Xie Jing, and on the family tree was a family photo, with parents and grandparents all present.

It was said to be for a school activity requiring a family photo, but it was really a school background check.

No wonder Xingxing was bullied by Yuanbao, because in Xingxing’s family photo, there was only Lin Zhiyi.

She didn’t even include Gong Shiyan and Liu He.

This was Xingxing’s own request, Xingxing said this photo looked the best.

But Lin Zhiyi knew when Xingxing attended the trial class, the teacher and kids were quite sycophantic.

But there were courses here that Xingxing was interested in, and it was the best in Quan Jing City.

When Xingxing took this photo, she told Lin Zhiyi: "Mom, in my heart, you are the most amazing person."

Lin Zhiyi felt especially gratified.

So she had to become that amazing person.

Upon leaving the school, just as she opened the car door, Lin Zhiyi found an extra person inside.

"Third Young Master."

"Such a big issue, why didn’t you tell me?" Gong Chen’s face was sullen.

"Didn’t I handle it? Are you worried I can’t solve it?" Lin Zhiyi countered.

"Do you think that’s what I meant?"

Gong Chen grabbed Xingxing, staring sullenly at the red mark on her forehead.

Xingxing leaned on him: "Dad, I’m fine. The fatty was worse off."

"Next time, hit harder, I’ll back you up." Gong Chen said.

"Okay."

Xingxing nodded.

Lin Zhiyi quickly interrupted: "Don’t teach her bad things. After all, she’s a child. If she really runs into someone much bigger, she might not be able to win."

Gong Chen squinted his eyes: "I’ll personally teach her. No one dares to bully my daughter."

Xingxing laughed: "Yuanbao was okay, but I didn’t expect Jingjing to do that."

"Something else?"

Gong Chen also didn’t expect another person to be involved.

Lin Zhiyi explained what happened with Jingjing backstabbing Xingxing.

"Such a young child, to think she’d do something like that."

"Jingjing is usually very nice, why would she lie?" Xingxing said unhappily.

"It’s not your fault." Gong Chen comforted her, looking up at Lin Zhiyi, "Which family?"

"Named Xie Jing, I took a photo of their family portrait."

Lin Zhiyi sent the photo from the family tree to Gong Chen.

Gong Chen glanced at it: "So it’s their family."

Lin Zhiyi warned: "Don’t mess around."

"I won’t mess around, I’ll handle it openly." Gong Chen raised an eyebrow.

"If you have time, help me keep an eye on Yu Mei’s husband." Lin Zhiyi said.

Gong Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Got it."

Lin Zhiyi chuckled slightly, thinking she wanted to see what Gong Chen was trying to hide.

...

The next morning, while Lin Zhiyi was still in a meeting, Chen Jin approached from behind and whispered.

"Yu Mei published a new article about you."

Lin Zhiyi asked another assistant to continue the meeting and left the room with Chen Jin.

"What article?"

Chen Jin handed the tablet to Lin Zhiyi.

"She posted your high school photo and said you had a daughter with this man."

While it’s not inaccurate.

The problem was Gong Chen was already ’dead.’

And you couldn’t tell it was Gong Chen from the photo, there was no license plate, nothing proving anything.

Lin Zhiyi hadn’t been deliberately hiding Xingxing, but she hadn’t expected Xingxing to be exposed this way.

While she was thinking, Liu He called.

"Zhiyi, what’s going on? Several wives called to congratulate me, saying your child is all grown up."

"Mom, it’s fine. After all, I’m married, having a child is normal."

"But the age doesn’t match, and people say you followed a man in high school, had a child, and got abandoned, so you ended up marrying a now unknown husband." Liu He said worriedly.

"Mom, don’t worry. I’ve faced bigger storms. I can handle this."

"Alright, I’ll explain to them. Be careful, it’s the reporter or your high school classmate." Liu He said.

"Mom, did you do anything behind the scenes when she spread rumors about me in high school? I feel she has some resentment towards me." Lin Zhiyi asked.

"No... Oh, right, I mentioned it to your uncle, and Lao San was also present at the time."

"He knew, huh?"

Lin Zhiyi just knew Gong Chen was hiding something from her.

No wonder he paused slightly upon hearing Yu Mei’s name, then acted like he hadn’t heard it.

"Zhiyi, did I say something wrong?"

"No, Mom, just reassure those ladies. Tell them I’ll handle all the public opinion."

"Alright."

Liu He hung up the phone.

Lin Zhiyi hadn’t even put down her phone when Yu Mei called.

It was definitely not good news.
