Chapter 513 Adopted son?
Chapter 513 Adopted son?
Lin Zhiyi didn't quite understand the meaning of Bai Chen's words.
Until, Mr. Gong's voice sounded again.
"Let me introduce my adopted son, Gong Yao."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender figure walked in from the side door.
The dark grey suit makes the man look tall and noble.
When Lin Zhiyi looked at his face, her eyes widened in horror.
A handsome and familiar face.
She had seen a photo of the old man when he was young in his bedroom.
The man in front of him was about 70% similar to the old man when he was young.
Especially the eyes, which are exactly the same.
Adopted son?
Lin Zhiyi suddenly remembered some of the things Ren Xiya had said to her.
The old man wanted to get rid of Ren Xiya willingly.
He also promised Ren Xiya that he would make her a young lady of the Gong family and marry her with great fanfare.
The method is to first recognize her as an adopted daughter.
So this Gong Yao...
Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen worriedly.
Gong Chen was surprisingly calm.
"Third Master."
"When Ren Xiya showed up, I knew he couldn't just keep one hand. There's never a shortage of children in this family. Whoever is capable and obedient will get promoted."
Lin Zhiyi was surprised and asked, "You know?"
"He is the director of a branch of Gong Corporation overseas and has always used an English name at work." Gong Chen sneered.
"what?"
Lin Zhiyi opened her mouth, not knowing how to continue.
She sighed in her heart, why did she have to fight with these people in the past?
Why should she?
How could she have the ability to prepare for a rainy day?
After expressing his feelings, Lin Zhiyi's mind raced, but he couldn't remember Gong Yao.
Could it be that he had been abroad all his life in his previous life?
Is it because of her change that the variables appeared here?
Just as she came to a conclusion, an idea flashed in her mind.
"Third Master, what's his English name?"
"Daniel."
This is a very common English name. Even if you see this kind of name when you open a document, you won’t stay for a second.
After Lin Zhiyi muttered to himself a few times, he began to feel uneasy.
She had heard it, she must have heard it.
No matter how common this name was, she had definitely heard it in her previous life, and at a very close distance.
But she really couldn't remember.
"What's wrong?" Gong Chen asked softly.
No one would believe Lin Zhiyi even if she said it, so she shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just think this name is too common, I feel like I've heard it before."
"How else can you get into Gong Corporation? There are at least five Daniels in an overseas branch."
"So it was intentional." Lin Zhiyi understood what he meant.
"Ah."
As he was speaking, applause broke out from the audience.
Lin Zhiyi looked up and found that Gong Yao was already standing next to the old man.
The old man smiled more happily than usual, as if telling everyone how much he valued this adopted son.
But Bai Ruoshu on the other side of him couldn't laugh anymore.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the people Mr. Gong really wanted to bring together were Bai Ruoshu and his adopted son Zi Yao.
Obviously Miss Bai didn't want to.
But for the sake of face, she could only stand on the stage and force a smile.
Lin Zhiyi was confused and asked, "Why did the old man bring him back so high-profile at this time? And he wanted to match him up with Bai Ruoshu?"
Gong Chen did not answer, and said calmly: "Let's go out and take a look."
"Ah."
Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Chen back to the banquet.
Soon, the people around the old man came to find Gong Chen.
"Third Master, the old man wants you to come over."
"Ah."
Gong Chen gave Lin Zhiyi a look and left first.
Lin Zhiyi looked in the direction he left.
I just happened to see the old man dragging Bai Ruoshu to accompany Gong Yao for a social event.
Bai Ruoshu agreed reluctantly, and immediately revealed a gentle and considerate smile when she saw Gong Chen walking over.
Lin Zhiyi finally understood why Xue Man was determined to help Bai Ruoshu.
Given Bai Ruoshu's identity, she is indeed the most likely candidate to be the next Third Wife.
It’s a pity that both of them had wrong plans.
Lin Zhiyi was in a daze when Liu He suddenly came over and took her away.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"quickly come."
Liu He hurriedly pulled Lin Zhiyi out of the banquet hall and finally stopped in the hotel lobby.
She gestured towards the rest area.
"see it?"
Lin Zhiyi looked over.
I saw a middle-aged woman in a dark green beaded dress, sitting on the sofa and drinking tea.
From a distance, there are no signs of aging on her face.
On the contrary, her body and skin are very well maintained.
If you don't look closely at her face, you would think she is very young.
"who is she?"
"Gong Yao's mother." Liu He glanced around and hinted, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Understand.
This woman is one of the old man’s lovers, and Gong Yao is also his biological son.
But Lin Zhiyi was still shocked.
"Mom, she doesn't seem to be much older than you, right?"
"Yes. Your uncle said that she took the initiative to follow the old man when she was 20 years old. After the old lady passed away, she did not make any noise and followed the old man's arrangements to go abroad. She was much less troublesome than other lovers. Moreover, she was the most important among the old man's lovers. She was the only woman that the old man allowed to return to China freely."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi's heart sank.
Suddenly, she thought of Gong Yao's face and calculated his age...
"Mom, Gong Yao looks..."
"I asked, and it's only a few months older than the third child." Liu He looked embarrassed. "The old lady thought she was trying to show off by giving birth to the third child, but she didn't know that the other side was also trying to show off. The more I think about it, the more I feel sorry for her. If she hadn't given birth to the third child, the old lady could have lived..."
"Mom!" Lin Zhiyi interrupted, "What would Third Master think if he heard this? He is already very concerned about his mother's affairs."
Liu He pursed her lips and frowned helplessly.
"The third brother knows everything. He was the one who told your uncle all these things."
"This mother and son were sent abroad by the old man himself. Gong Yao was also trained and promoted by the old man himself. He even used an English name to deceive his superiors and subordinates in the Gong family. I can figure it out even though I'm not smart. How can the third brother not see through it?"
"The eldest brother passed away, and your uncle is unwilling to fight for it. This Gong Yao is used by the old man to defend against the third brother!"
The words fell.
Many people went into the rest area not far away.
Upon closer inspection, they were all the elders of the Gong family.
The woman stood up and greeted them familiarly, and the group of people chatted and laughed.
Obviously they knew each other for a long time.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi's stomach churned.
She thought she had seen through the hypocrisy of the Gong family in her previous life, but she didn't expect that the more she looked into it in this life, the more she felt that the Gong family was all show and no substance.
Gong Chen had already seen through all of this, but was chosen to protect such a family.
So disgusting.
Lin Zhiyi immediately turned around and reminded, "Mom, this woman dared to take the initiative to commit herself to the old man at the age of 20, and she also went abroad at a critical moment. She must be doing this to conserve her energy. I'm afraid she's not a good person. Be careful to avoid her."
"Zhiyi, I'm worried about you and the Third Master. The old man intends to match Gong Yao and Miss Bai. It's obvious that he wants to raise his status. I'm afraid he has other ideas... After all, we are all in your hands, and Gong Yao looks too much like the old man." Liu He pursed her lips and said.
And Gong Chen is more like a mother.
"Mom, we will pay attention to it. Just pretend you don't know about this matter, so that you won't be targeted too."
Lin Zhiyi took her arm and turned to leave.
Little did they know that when they were leaving, their backs were captured by the woman in the rest area.
The woman raised her red lips and continued drinking tea.
