Chapter 58 -58: Today is Lin Zhiyi’s Stage Performance

Qin Shuang hesitated, sparking everyone’s curiosity; all eyes turned to Gong Shiyan and Liu He.

Liu He’s face turned ghostly pale, making her lips strikingly red.

Gong Shiyan grasped her hand firmly, his honest face showing embarrassment.

He wanted to say something, but he had been so drunk the day before that he had blacked out, and everything that happened afterward was according to Liu He’s account.

Without evidence, no one would believe him if he spoke.

At that moment, Lin Zhiyi gave him a look, signaling something with her eyes.

Gong Shiyan nodded subtly, “It’s nothing.”

“That’s a relief; otherwise, I would have really felt guilty.” Qin Shuang patted her chest with affected concern.

Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Gong furrowed his brows and inquired, “What happened?”

Qin Shuang looked troubled: “I heard that the Second Young Master had a potential client he wanted to collaborate with, so I took the initiative to invite both parties for a dinner. But the Second Young Master and Second Madam got too merry with their drinks, leaving me no choice but to send the client away first.”

“I never expected the Second Madam to drag the Second Young Master into the trash room in the back kitchen, and I heard that place is full of flies and reeks.”

“I was just worried about their health and asked a question out of concern.”

“Is that right, Second Madam?”

As soon as she finished speaking, many at the large round table covered their noses and looked at Liu He with disgust.

Liu He pursed her lips, keeping silent, her eyes noticeably dimming.

Song Wanqiu, seemingly out of concern for the bigger picture, stopped Qin Shuang, “Mom, the Second Madam didn’t do it on purpose, and she isn’t familiar with business socializing.”

Her insinuations were clear: Liu He had not only made a mess of the drinks with the client but had also turned it into a spectacle by knocking Gong Shiyan into the garbage room.

Old Mr. Gong, upon hearing this, slammed his chopsticks down and turned to Gong Chen, “Is it true? Or is the Song Family lying?”

Song Wanqiu looked at Gong Chen, aggrieved, “Third Young Master, my mom isn’t lying.”

Gong Chen lazily held his teacup, his expression dull, “Yes.”

Across from him, Lin Zhiyi lowered her head; hearing this, her fingertip broke the skin.

Heh.

Gong Chen’s love for Song Wanqiu was so great that he’d even betray his own brother.

Old Mr. Gong glared furiously at Gong Shiyan and Liu He, “Do you even act your age? Can’t you handle such a small matter properly?”

Gong Shiyan’s expression was grave, bearing Old Mr. Gong’s reproach in front of everyone, as always.

Liu He burst into tears.

Old Mr. Gong grew even angrier, scolding, “You even have the face to cry!”

The dining room fell deathly silent except for the smug looks in Song Wanqiu and Qin Shuang’s eyes as they gazed at Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi competing with them?

She wasn’t worthy.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t back down; she met their gazes with a faint smile, timing just right.

The mother-daughter duo was taken aback, and before they could react, Lin Zhiyi stood up and shouted like a crazed madwoman, “Ah! Ah! Why are you scolding my mom and uncle? It’s you! The villains! It’s all you!”

While shouting, she grabbed the hot silver fish soup in front of her and threw it at Song Wanqiu and Qin Shuang.

The table was large, and the electric lazy Susan was moving slowly, giving Lin Zhiyi an extra minute of waiting for this dish.

The sticky silver fish soup was not only hard to wash off but also scalding.

It was especially suitable to silence the foul mouths of this mother and daughter!

Song Wanqiu and Qin Shuang couldn’t dodge in time; a large bowl of silver fish soup was poured over their heads, scalding them like slaughtered pigs.

Even Gong Chen, who had been leisurely sipping tea, got splashed; he squinted as he brushed the fish soup from his hair and suit, raising an eyebrow at Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi’s heart tightened, but she was immediately distracted by the Song family women’s screams.

“Ah! It’s so hot! Help!”

“Lin Zhiyi, you…”

Song Wanqiu looked ready to burst into tears, setting the stage for her act.
