Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Mistaken Identity

Lin Zhiyi deliberately exaggerated: “She came to apologize to my mom, saying she was also stepped on by someone, and accidentally stepped on my mom, also said she must catch that person.”

Yang Jingwei’s breath caught.

“There were so many people at the time, it probably wasn’t intentional.”

“Whether it was intentional or not, the Gong Family will decide.”

After Lin Zhiyi finished speaking, she glanced at Gong Chen.

Hinting to Yang Jingwei that Gong Chen would handle this matter.

Gong Chen’s methods were well-known throughout Jing City.

Yang Jingwei’s face turned somewhat pale, she turned and took Bai Ruoshu’s arm.

“Then we won’t disturb Second Madam’s rest, we’ll be going now.”

The two turned to leave.

Lin Zhiyi pulled out her perfume and sprayed herself twice.

The unique orchid fragrance instantly attracted Yang Jingwei and Bai Ruoshu.

Yang Jingwei turned and glanced, her forehead vein twitched twice when she saw the bottle.

Bai Ruoshu stopped, following her gaze, frowned slightly.

How could Lin Zhiyi have perfume with this scent?

Just about to speak, her body was pulled out of the ward by Yang Jingwei.

Walking a distance, Bai Ruoshu’s injured arm hurt from the tug.

She forcefully shook off Yang Jingwei: “Mom, you hurt me!”

Yang Jingwei suddenly seemed to wake up, quickly concerned: “Ruoshu, are you okay? It’s my fault.”

“Mom, wasn’t it you who wanted to see Second Madam, why did we leave without speaking a few words? Could Second Madam’s fall be related to you?”

“Shh!”

Yang Jingwei pulled Bai Ruoshu to a secluded place before speaking again.

“Why are you speaking so loudly? Afraid others won’t hear?”

Once she said this, Bai Ruoshu understood completely.

“Mom! Was it really you? Why did you want to harm Second Madam? Second Young Master is Third Young Master’s assistant, Dad’s business deal is waiting for their approval, if Second Young Master finds out…”

“Liu He isn’t that important!” Yang Jingwei interrupted harshly.

“Mom…”

Bai Ruoshu paused, seeming unable to recognize her own mother.

Yang Jingwei quickly calmed down, pressed her lips: “Ruoshu, I’m doing this for you too, Liu He is pregnant with a Gong Family heir, if she gives birth to a boy, not only she, but even Lin Zhiyi’s status would rise.”

“Since the old master cannot act, I’ll act, not only earning a favor from him, but also fighting for more hope for you.”

Hearing this, Bai Ruoshu held Yang Jingwei’s hand.

“Mom, thank you, but if Third Young Master really investigates, what will you do?”

“Isn’t there you?” Yang Jingwei gently caressed her injured arm, “If at this moment, people outside know Lin Zhiyi is an ungrateful person, do you think Third Young Master still has the mind to investigate this matter?”

“But Dad still wants to keep favor to discuss business with Third Young Master, if it’s exposed now…”

Bai Ruoshu was somewhat worried Bai Zhengxian would be angry.

Though Bai Zhengxian loved her, he was also clear-cut about rewards and punishments.

She was still afraid of her father deep down.

Yang Jingwei showed a difficult expression, saying nothing.

Bai Ruoshu, being perceptive, saw the sign immediately.

“Mom, did you and Dad have a disagreement?”

Yang Jingwei was used to cleaning up Bai Zhengxian’s mess, instinctively wanting to deny and feign harmony.

But she suddenly had an idea.

Immediately lowered her gaze and sighed.

“Ruoshu, you’ve grown up, some things I don’t want to hide from you, your dad, he… has someone outside.”

Bai Ruoshu stood frozen, shaking her head in disbelief.

“Impossible, no matter how busy Dad is, he’ll always make time for you, even on business trips he calls you every few days, he loves you so much, how could he have someone else?”

Yang Jingwei took out her phone from her bag, opened the information she sent to Bai Zhengxian’s assistant.

“Do you recognize this person?”

Bai Ruoshu watched the woman in the video, she looked familiar, but didn’t react right away.

Until she introduced herself.

“Chu Yin? Lin Zhiyi’s friend? Used to look like Lin Zhiyi, now all dressed up, how does she look so alike?”

“Mom, why do you send the materials to Dad’s assistant?”

Yang Jingwei replied helplessly: “This is the woman your dad wants, there have been others before, but I sent them all away, yet without exception… they all resemble Chu Yin somewhat.”

Bai Ruoshu remained speechless for a long time.

Her chest heaved several times, finally understanding Yang Jingwei’s unspoken implication.

“Lin Zhiyi? Dad is interested in Lin Zhiyi…”

“Yes. Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry? Your dad isn’t seeking to use your favor for business with Third Young Master, he’s thinking of how to get Lin Zhiyi.” Yang Jingwei stated word by word.

“Why is it her again?”

Bai Ruoshu was both angry and annoyed.

She truly couldn’t understand why her strict father would be interested in Lin Zhiyi, a mere vase.

Yang Jingwei glanced at her, not saying much.

Just turned her palm, patting it.

“Ruoshu, Mom is getting old too, your dad likes pretty girls, I can’t help it, but I’m worried your dad will be bewitched by Lin Zhiyi, ruining big things for our family.”

“Mom, don’t worry, I know what to do now.” Bai Ruoshu said coldly.

“Come on, I’ve taught you not to show all your emotions on your face.”

Yang Jingwei tidied her appearance, turned to leave.

But was pulled back by Bai Ruoshu.

Bai Ruoshu looked at Yang Jingwei doubtfully: “Mom, why does Lin Zhiyi have your specially mixed perfume? Are you hiding something from me?”

Yang Jingwei’s eyes flickered: “That was a formula I bought from someone more than twenty years ago, at the time your dad liked the scent very much, so I’ve been using it ever since.”

“What happened to the person who created the formula?” Bai Ruoshu asked curiously.

Yang Jingwei chuckled: “How would I know?”

Bai Ruoshu didn’t ask further, left the hospital with her.

…

Inside the ward.

Li Huan walked forward two steps.

“What kind of scene were you just performing?”

Lin Zhiyi briefly explained the situation, then placed the perfume on the table.

Li Huan was shocked momentarily, then shook his head.

“I think you might have really found the wrong person.”

“What do you mean?” Lin Zhiyi pursued the question.

“Our director knows Mrs. Bai, Bai Ruoshu was born in our hospital, after she was injured and hospitalized, the director personally went to see her. If Mrs. Bai wasn’t Mrs. Bai, the director couldn’t fail to recognize her.”

“So you’re saying we’ve all guessed wrong?” Lin Zhiyi’s mind was a mess, “Then why does she have hostility towards my mom?”

As soon as the words fell, Liu He hugged her belly, evidently a little nervous.

Seeing this, Gong Chen held Lin Zhiyi: “Perhaps your mom’s friend told the formula to others, we just thought it too complex. Now let your mom rest well, we’ll go back.”

Lin Zhiyi felt the warmth in his hand, nodded.

“Mom, we’re leaving first, don’t overthink, with Uncle here you have nothing to fear.”

Liu He looked at her concerned husband, slightly eased her mind.

“You all be careful on the road.”

As they walked out of the ward.

Gong Chen spoke concisely: “Li Huan, can we still find Mrs. Bai’s medical records?”
