Chapter 511: Chapter 511: Third Young Master Is Getting Married Again

Upon hearing the voice, everyone turned to look.

Lin Zhiyi slowly walked over beside Gong Chen.

Liu He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Just saw Mr. Sang and came over to say hello. Where have you been?”

“I went to discuss some work with the Third Young Master.”

As she spoke, Lin Zhiyi glanced at Bai Ruoshu with a smile.

Bai Ruoshu had lost her usual indifference, though her expression didn’t change much.

Besides that, Lin Zhiyi also felt a peculiar gaze.

She looked up and met the eyes of Yang Jingwei.

Cold enough to make one anxious, but fleeting.

When Lin Zhiyi looked again, Yang Jingwei’s face wore a kind smile, her eyes calm and gentle.

She nodded to Lin Zhiyi and smiled, “Ruoshu must have been seeing things, Miss Lin, I’m truly sorry.”

By this time, quite a few guests who were unaware of the situation had gathered around.

The Bai Family was a prominent one, and Mrs. Bai took the initiative to admit the mistake.

If Lin Zhiyi continued to press the matter, it would not only disrespect the Bai Family but also the Gong Family.

After all, today she was there as a work-related attendant, her status naturally couldn’t compare to that of the Bai Family’s young lady.

Lin Zhiyi modestly nodded, “Mrs. Bai, you’re overthinking this, mistaking one person for another isn’t such a big deal. Everyone, please head inside; the banquet is about to commence.”

After speaking, she stepped aside, holding herself lower than the Bai Family mother and daughter.

The people here were of noble status and disliked lowering their own standing the most.

If Lin Zhiyi had retorted even a little, these people, regardless of right or wrong, would have sided with the Bai Family mother and daughter.

So she might as well be humble.

After all, it wouldn’t cost her anything, and she could gain a good reputation.

As expected.

A lady who had visited before looked at Lin Zhiyi approvingly.

“Second Madam, your daughter is really well-behaved and sensible.”

She almost pointed out that the Bai Family mother and daughter were making a fuss over nothing and lowering their status.

Liu He brightened up when someone praised her daughter.

“Yes, my Zhiyi has been sensible since childhood. Come, let me take you inside, and we can have a leisurely chat.”

“Alright.”

The crowd dispersed.

The Bai Family mother and daughter’s smiles were still there, but not as much.

“Third Young Master, Mr. Sang, we’ll head inside too, it’s just right to visit Old Mr. Gong,” Yang Jingwei said casually.

“Mm.”

After everyone had left.

Lin Zhiyi exhaled deeply, turning to look at Sang Li.

“Mr. Sang, thank you, fortunately, you reacted quickly just now.”

“The mother and daughter are famous for being tactful and efficient; it’s just that normally everyone has business dealings and doesn’t like to mention it,” Sang Li said.

Lin Zhiyi nodded and looked at the woman beside Sang Li.

“Miss Chu, thank you as well. You were much quicker-witted than I.”

“You’re welcome; I’m paid for this! But I think you should be careful, especially of that older one,” Chu Yin said earnestly.

Chu Yin was a struggling actress to the point that if she hadn’t met Sang Li at the airport, she would probably be some rich man’s goldfinch now.

Sang Li reminded, “Chu Yin, watch your words.”

“Such a bother,” Chu Yin pouted, “it’s just Mrs. Bai. The way she looked at Miss Lin was very strange. Do you two know each other?”

Lin Zhiyi was taken aback.

A woman’s intuition is indeed sharp.

The first time she saw Bai Ruoshu, she felt this way.

It always seemed like Bai Ruoshu knew her.

But whether in this life or the previous one, they had never met before Bai Ruoshu appeared.

She shook her head, “I don’t know.”

Gong Chen joined in, “I also had someone investigate. Bai Ruoshu hasn’t returned to the country in the past five years, and her whereabouts abroad weren’t suspicious either.”

Chu Yin shrugged, “Maybe I’m overthinking, but one can never be too careful. The mother and daughter clearly wanted to confirm a relationship between Mr. Sang and Miss Lin, tying you both together. Later on, when you want to break off the engagement, you’d still have to explain it piece by piece.”

“The most important thing is to prove there’s no third party between you two, so don’t expect to properly date for over a year.”

She was quite right.

Not many people knew about the engagement back then; if things got complicated, everything would become complicated.

That was the Bai Family mother and daughter’s intention.

But there was one thing Lin Zhiyi couldn’t figure out: why did they want to tie her and Sang Li together?

While she was pondering, Sang Li let out a chuckle, his expression enigmatic.

Lin Zhiyi asked puzzled, “What is it?”

“Nothing, let’s head inside. The Third Young Master probably still needs to greet the guests.”

As he spoke, he patted Gong Chen’s shoulder, hintingly.

Lin Zhiyi found it strange as she was pulled away by Gong Chen.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense.”

“Nonsense about what?”

Lin Zhiyi was completely confused.

But as she entered the inner venue, she understood what Sang Li was smiling about.

At this moment.

Old Mr. Gong was energetically greeting people around him, and standing beside him was none other than Bai Ruoshu.

The position beside Old Mr. Gong was very significant.

It used to be occupied by Gong Chen, and in the past three years… also Sang Ran.

So when the old man cheerfully introduced Bai Ruoshu, it was actually announcing.

The Third Young Master is getting married again!

Lin Zhiyi turned to Gong Chen, “Congratulations.”

Gong Chen frowned, “Speak properly.”

“Hmph.”

Lin Zhiyi let out a cold snort and turned away.

As she left, Chen Jin approached Gong Chen.

“Third Young Master, still going?”

“Yes,” Gong Chen replied coldly, unconcerned.

“But isn’t this…” Chen Jin glanced at Bai Ruoshu.

“Sang Ran just passed away, and he can’t control Sang Li’s thoughts. Even if he wants to force me to get married, it can’t be so blatant. Bai Ruoshu is afraid to be too happy prematurely.”

“Then why is the old man doing this?”

Gong Chen squinted his eyes.

Chen Jin immediately understood, asking no more.

It seemed something was going to happen today.

Lin Zhiyi realized this as well.

Now she was no longer the woman who had just been reborn, desperate and gambling recklessly.

Seeing the current scene, a little analysis made her feel something was wrong.

Sang Ran had only passed away not long ago.

Apart from the Sang Family, many prominent figures who had dealings with the Sang Family came to Hai City.

No matter how powerful Old Mr. Gong was, he couldn’t embarrass the Sang Family at such an occasion.

What exactly did he want to do?

Lin Zhiyi shifted her gaze from the old man to Bai Ruoshu.

Bai Ruoshu elegantly and gracefully followed the old man to greet the guests, her demeanor as if carved from a model of a distinguished young lady, showing quite the aura of Mrs. Gong.

The guests saw her standing beside the old man and understood the implication, but nobody exposed that layer of subtlety.

Yet there were some guests who deliberately flattered.

“Old Mr. Gong, Miss Bai, congratulations.”

The old man didn’t speak, only glanced at Bai Ruoshu.

Bai Ruoshu smiled gently, “The pleasure is mutual. Today’s event mainly aids children with severe illnesses. It’s a joyous occasion for both us and the children.”

An impeccable answer.

Not only did it make Old Mr. Gong happy, but others were pleased as well.

Bai Ruoshu turned her head, seemingly intentionally meeting Lin Zhiyi’s gaze, then smiled charmingly.

However, this smile made Lin Zhiyi uneasy at heart.

Could Bai Ruoshu be plotting something against Ji Nian Jewelry?
