Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1170: The Principle of Deference for the Fortunate

After Lin Zhiyi finished recording her statement, she felt more relaxed.

The police officer said, "We have already verified Yu Mei’s statement. Her hatred towards you is not that significant; she simply can’t stand others living well."

Chu Yin was dissatisfied, "She can’t stand others, so she goes around stabbing people?"

The police patiently explained, "Don’t worry, I’m not defending her. It’s just that most family members ask about the reason, so we’re informing you."

"After investigation, Yu Mei’s company went bankrupt a long time ago. Her family spent money to get her into the current company, aiming to find a wealthy husband, but she ended up finding a man dependent on a woman, and then got fired because of a woman."

"Neighbors said her mother-in-law is very domineering, taking her son’s money and not giving a single penny to her daughter-in-law, yet she wants her daughter-in-law to support her son."

"Her colleagues said that ever since her husband got fired, her work has been unsuccessful too. She happened to see reports about Lin Zhiyi, leading to subsequent events."

"As for the class reunion, most classmates were there to see the teacher and incidentally wanted to get closer to Lin Zhiyi. The invitations were sent together, so they didn’t know about Yu Mei’s matter."

"But hotel staff said after the party ended, they saw Yu Mei and her husband arguing at the hotel entrance, and her husband slapped her."

Ren Xiya concluded after listening.

"So, it’s a crime of passion?"

"Yes, but judging by her phone, she seemed to be gathering information on Lin Zhiyi’s husband and even organizing a so-called exposé on her computer. We concluded that when things didn’t develop as she expected, coupled with the slap, she acted out in a fit of rage, though the situation is slightly more serious than mere passion-induced violence."

The police officer’s words made Lin Zhiyi and her two companions sigh in relief.

Yu Mei deserved what she got.

The police then asked, "Lin Zhiyi, concerning the motives behind this class reunion, I think you’re also aware."

Lin Zhiyi paused, but nodded.

Some people wanted to get closer to her, some were just watching, some were looking for a spectacle, and some were prying into her private life.

She knew a little in her heart.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll be frank," the police advised, "You are now a public figure, and you must be more aware of invitations lacking goodwill and avoid them. No matter how careful you are, there will be moments of oversight. You’re successful in your career and have a happy family. Always remember the principle of happiness: when to step back."

Lin Zhiyi hummed in agreement.

This time she was indeed careless, thinking to visit the teacher together and clarify a bit.

Actually, whether clarified or not, it won’t affect her life.

She can visit the teacher another day.

In the end, despite knowing Yu Mei’s malice, she went anyway.

Chu Yin comforted, "This was an unexpected incident. You didn’t know Yu Mei would be so blatant. Let’s be more careful next time."

Ren Xiya also chimed in, "It’s all in the past, don’t let it bother you. You’re pregnant now, already sensitive."

Initially a bit agitated, Lin Zhiyi felt immediately clearer after hearing these words.

"Understood, understood, with you two around, I don’t dare overthink. Let’s go, my treat for dinner."

"I thought you’d cling to the Third Young Master," Chu Yin said.

"I look terrible right now, seeing me would spoil his appetite and sleep," she replied.

Lin Zhiyi was aware she had been looking quite worn-out lately.

Pregnancy affects hormones, and she didn’t even want to look in the mirror herself.

Chu Yin seemed to notice Lin Zhiyi’s thoughts and laughed, "After dinner, I’ll take you to a good place."

After the meal.

Chu Yin had the driver take them to a beauty salon, with Zhou Zhao and Chen Jin, who were there for protection, tagging along.

The two stood in the lobby somewhat apprehensive.

Chu Yin laughed, "Don’t stand there like statues. Many men come here, I’ve booked appointments for you two too. Just change your clothes when you go in later."

Zhou Zhao was not very comfortable, "Never mind."

"Relax, everyone’s been tired lately," Chu Yin urged.

"Why didn’t you invite the Third Young Master then?"

"Aren’t we good sisters?"

"..."

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhiyi glanced at Chen Jin, "Assistant Chen, you can have a cup of tea and wait for us."

Chen Jin nodded and dragged Zhou Zhao upstairs.

Half an hour later, Lin Zhiyi, Chu Yin, and Ren Xiya were lying down getting facials.

She mumbled, "So comfortable."

"Rest assured, the products they use are safe for pregnancy," Chu Yin said.

Ren Xiya said calmly, "You’re a treasure now. Once you feel better, your complexion will improve too. Don’t worry too much."

"Thank you both for your care, I know," she replied.

They completed the facial, then the full body treatment.

Then the manager entered with a smile, "Do you require massages?"

Chu Yin nodded, "Yes, absolutely. I’ve heard your massages are excellent, so I specifically brought my friends to experience."

"Rest assured, we’ll definitely leave you satisfied," the manager guaranteed.

Lin Zhiyi thought herself pregnant and rejected massages, "I’ll pass."

The manager persuaded, "If Miss feels uncomfortable, why not a foot massage instead? It can reduce swelling and promise comfort."

Lin Zhiyi looked at her legs, realizing pregnancy indeed caused edema.

"Alright then."

Since they were already here.

Three of them were enjoying bird’s nest soup.

Soon, someone knocked and entered.

Three young, robust men walked in.

Although wearing uniform work attire, the shirts weren’t buttoned properly, revealing half of their chest muscles.

Chu Yin almost spat out the bird’s nest soup.

"What’s going on? Isn’t this for women?"

"We are indeed technicians, relax, everything is confidential here."

Hearing that, Lin Zhiyi and Ren Xiya turned to Chu Yin.

Chu Yin was confused.

"I, I didn’t know; I was just repeating what I heard from others."

Ren Xiya waved a hand seeing the men showing off muscles.

"Leave please."

Her presence was intimidating, scaring the men.

"But the manager said..."

"It’s fine, leave please, or send over some female technicians," Ren Xiya said.

"All female technicians are with male guests," the man awkwardly stated.

Ren Xiya arched an eyebrow, "Your business is quite broad I see."

Chu Yin sat up abruptly.

"Wait, female technicians? What about Zhou Zhao and Chen Jin?"

Lin Zhiyi was curious, "Should be alright."

Chu Yin laughed, "I need to go check."

Ren Xiya saw her enthusiasm, "You just like teasing Zhou Zhao."

Chu Yin chuckled, "Everyone’s been stressed, especially Zhou Zhao and Chen Jin. Chen Jin feels guilty for neglecting the Third Young Master, and Zhou Zhao, always follows worried. They nearly fought. I think they’re both holding back, embarrassed to apologize."

They were good friends, and continuing disputes made no sense.

Lin Zhiyi put down her bowl, "I’m aware of this too, but previously I was too consumed to advise properly. If they can sort it out this time, it’s good."

"Then why sit around? Let’s go check."
