Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 932: What If One Day You Were Reborn?

Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen for a long time without speaking, feeling that she shouldn’t be like this.

"Third Young Master, I’m not forcing you. If you don’t want to, we can look into it from another angle."

Just as she finished speaking, Gong Chen pulled her over.

"No, I just think he’s muddled right now, and he might give us wrong information, which would only mislead us."

"That’s true," Lin Zhiyi said while holding onto him.

"Let’s go see first."

"You don’t have to force yourself..."

"It’s not about forcing, it’s about time to go and see him," Gong Chen said calmly.

"Then go to bed early. Don’t you have a meeting at the company tomorrow? I’ll go with you in the afternoon."

"Hmm."

After they both took a shower, Lin Zhiyi nestled into Gong Chen’s arms and fell asleep right away.

The next morning.

Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen, after having breakfast, took Xingxing to school together.

Xingxing was particularly happy.

The world of a child is simple, and having parents by their side makes them happy.

Lin Zhiyi was even more determined not to let Xingxing suffer any harm.

After dropping off Xingxing, Lin Zhiyi said goodbye to Gong Chen and went to her studio.

Unexpectedly, there was already an uninvited guest waiting for her.

"Miss Lin, why did your assistant say you weren’t here yesterday?"

Xia Wan smiled at Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi instinctively glanced at her assistant.

She hurriedly explained, "A client invited me out for a little break. Is there something you need from me?"

Xia Wan said, "Why are you so nervous? I was just asking casually. I happened to be passing by and wanted to see my jewelry."

"Okay, I’ll have someone bring it to you right away. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the online events."

Lin Zhiyi tentatively spoke to Xia Wan.

Xia Wan walked beside her, her expression exceptionally calm, not caring about the online events at all.

"It’s in the past."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi was even more convinced that Xia Wan and Shirley’s purpose was to grab attention and gain traffic.

The outcome of the matter did not matter to them at all.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t say much and led Xia Wan to sit in the lounge.

After a short while, the assistant came in with the jewelry.

This was the jewelry Lin Zhiyi had redesigned for Xia Wan.

Xia Wan tried it on and nodded in satisfaction as she looked in the mirror.

Then she looked at Lin Zhiyi through the mirror.

"Miss Lin, do you think it suits me?"

"It suits you," Lin Zhiyi replied, lowering her head to adjust the clasp at the back.

Xia Wan gently stroked the necklace on her neck, "You’ve designed it beautifully. I never dared imagine wearing such jewelry before."

Lin Zhiyi smiled, "With your capabilities, Xia, you’ll wear even more beautiful jewelry sooner or later."

Xia Wan raised her eyes to Lin Zhiyi, "From your tone, I can tell you’re a very confident person. But I’ve heard that you used to be quite timid."

Lin Zhiyi’s hand paused as she wondered if Xia Wan was testing her.

But many people knew about the past, so she couldn’t hide it.

She said helplessly, "I was too young back then, and didn’t understand some things."

Xia Wan asked back, "What made you understand then?"

Lin Zhiyi: "..."

Xia Wan casually admired the jewelry in the mirror and said, as if she didn’t care, "I used to think only life-and-death experiences could bring great realization."

Lin Zhiyi suddenly raised her eyes and met Xia Wan’s gaze.

Xia Wan said each word slowly, "I’m talking about real life and death."

Lin Zhiyi’s hand trembled, and the necklace fell off Xia Wan’s neck.

She quickly picked up the necklace, "Sorry, I didn’t clasp it properly."

Xia Wan said, "It’s okay, but Miss Lin hasn’t answered my question yet."

"I don’t quite get what you mean. So serious about life and death? The things I didn’t understand before are related to my mom, so it’s not convenient to disclose."

Lin Zhiyi quickly referred to her mother, Liu He, the Second Madam.

Xia Wan nodded, "Pardon me for being impudent. Then...what do you think about life and death, Miss Lin?"

Lin Zhiyi was taken aback.

How did they end up talking about life and death from jewelry?

How was she supposed to respond to that?

After thinking for a while, she said, "If someone dies, there’s nothing left. There can’t be thoughts about life and death, just live in the moment."

"Is that so? What if one day... you’re reborn? What would you do?"

Xia Wan stared at Lin Zhiyi, her eyes making it clear she wasn’t joking.

Lin Zhiyi froze for a moment.

"I... I don’t know."

"If everything could start over again, I would surely seek vengeance," Xia Wan said with a meaningful smile.

Lin Zhiyi inexplicably felt a tightening in her chest.

She instinctively asked, "What if the opponent is too strong?"

Xia Wan said coldly, "Then at all costs, make yourself stronger in the shortest time possible."

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but recall her past self shortly after being reborn.

She used herself as bait time and again for the sake of truth.

Yet, it always ended in mutual destruction.

But she had no support, recovering was slower than others.

Again and again, she was exhausted in the end.

It wasn’t until the truth lay bare before her that she realized how many mistakes she made.

She looked at Xia Wan, feeling that sense of urgency.

Who exactly was Xia Wan?

Why was she saying these things to her?

Lin Zhiyi dared not reveal too much emotion.

She let out a laugh, "Xia, you really know how to joke. How could one be reborn in life? Even if rebirth were possible, I think one should focus on themselves rather than putting themselves in the most dangerous position, besides, there’s much in this world worth cherishing."

Xia Wan’s expression suddenly turned cold.

Then she let out an odd laugh.

"It seems what’s said online is true. Miss Lin has found a lover, and she’s become gentle. The power of love is truly great."

Lin Zhiyi met her gaze.

Detecting a hint of sarcasm.

"How are you so sure your revenge is correct?"

People often believe what they hear and see.

But forget that many things might be just what others want you to hear and see.

Wasn’t Lin Zhiyi just like that?

She almost got used by Gong Yan and Madam to harm Gong Chen.

At these words, Xia Wan suddenly stood up.

"Miss Lin, I like the jewelry very much. I have something to do and will leave now."

She walked to the door, paused, and said with her back turned to Lin Zhiyi, "What if the one killed was your daughter? And then you died without even a burial place, would you still just let it go?"

Lin Zhiyi was stunned on the spot.

When she came to her senses, Xia Wan had already left.

She hurried out.

How could Xia Wan possibly know?

"Boss, what’s wrong? You look so pale?"

Lin Zhiyi tightly gripped the assistant’s hand, "Didn’t Xia just come by?"

"Yeah, you received her yourself, are you too tired?"

The assistant helped her to sit down.

Lin Zhiyi finally believed everything was true.

How did Xia Wan know about Xingxing being her daughter?

How did Xia Wan know both Xingxing and she had died before?

Why did she keep emphasizing rebirth?

Xia Wan must know something!

Lin Zhiyi suddenly felt a splitting headache; her assistant massaged her for a while before she recovered.

"Boss, don’t scare me."

"I’m fine now," Lin Zhiyi said calmly, "You can go back to work."

"Okay."

After the assistant left, Lin Zhiyi took out her phone to message Gong Chen.

But in the end, she deleted all the words.

How could she explain rebirth to Gong Chen?

Whether he believed it was one thing, the key was how to tell him everything about the past life?

Xia Wan surely knows something.

She had to find out!
