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.
But today!
“It’s my stage, Lin Zhiyi’s stage!”
Without giving Song Wanqiu a chance, Lin Zhiyi climbed onto the table with the help of a stool and grabbed the leftover food to hurl at Song Wanqiu’s face.
A chicken bone, gnawed on by some aunt, just happened to land in Song Wanqiu’s open mouth.
She felt so disgusted that she retched but couldn’t vomit.
Lin Zhiyi yelled, “I’ll let you two talk nonsense! Do you love leftover and spoiled food? I’ll feed it to you!”
With swift movements, she grabbed the water used for soaking an uncle’s false teeth and threw it into Qin Shuang’s mouth as she screamed.
The screams became even more pitiful.
The uncle quickly got up, stuttering and waving his hands, “Hey, hey, hey, don’t let me swallow my false teeth!”
Lin Zhiyi glared at him and he turned his head thinking, if she can throw it at them, why not at me too.
Old Mr. Gong had never seen such a spectacle and was shocked for a long while before he yelled angrily, “Lin Zhiyi! Stop it right now!”
Standing on the table, Lin Zhiyi looked down at Old Mr. Gong with even more anger as she screamed, “Why do you scold my uncle without even asking for a reason? Over the years, you’ve unconditionally berated him, criticized how this and that are not good! Have you ever considered that your attitude dictates how others treat him?”
“You say he’s Second Master Gong, but outside they all want to step on him, even this mother-daughter pair dares to trample his dignity!”
“Isn’t Uncle your son?”
“And my mother, indeed she has no family background, but what wrong has she done all these years within the Gong family?”
“Old Mr. Gong, you just had to fall off a horse and hurt your back; my mother cared for you from 4 AM until 9 PM, a full three months!”
“Who else in this family has done that? Their mouths are full of filial words but turn around claiming they are too busy with work, visiting you once a month!”
“And you can’t even show a kind face to my mother, allowing others to slander her behind her back! Even the servants speak not of the Second Madam but of the outsider!”
“Why do you torment our whole family? Why?”
Lin Zhiyi wasn’t speaking crazily, but out of genuine emotion; their family of three really lived too repressed!
This wealthy family is all about interests; whoever is out of favor gets trampled.
Old Mr. Gong’s face was stripped of dignity as he stood his high ground and pointed at Lin Zhiyi’s flaring nostrils, “How insolent! This isn’t the place for your nonsense! Get down this instant!”
Lin Zhiyi kicked away the dishes in front of her and, with a mad look, walked up to Old Mr. Gong.
“I’m spouting nonsense? Then, Old Mr. Gong, please listen carefully!”
Lin Zhiyi took out her phone, and subsequently, a voice came from the speaker above.
“Bluetooth connected.”
The laughter of two women could be heard.
“…just like Mrs. Wang’s dog.”
“A slut… giving up on entering Xue Man’s Studio… two worthless fools… the Gong family belongs to Third Young Master… even Old Mr. Gong will have to look at our faces in the future.”
Followed by Lin Zhiyi’s cautious pleas, asking Song Wanqiu to consider Gong Chen and the Gong Family.
Yet Song Wanqiu said, “I’m going to be Third Young Master’s fiancée; who dares to touch me?”
Lin Zhiyi smiled slyly at Song Wanqiu.

In this day and age, surely no one doesn’t know how to use a recorder, right?
The dining room fell into an exceptional silence as people couldn’t believe the dignified and elegant Qin Shuang and the chaste Song Wanqiu could be like this in private.
Now, it was Qin Shuang and Song Wanqiu’s turn to turn as pale as paper.
Song Wanqiu was the first to react, “It’s fake! All fake! Lin Zhiyi, why are you framing us?”
She cried heart-wrenchingly, a performance that would fit right into a TV drama as a textbook case of an unjustly accused character.
But today… sorry, Lin Zhiyi is mad, and she’s not reasonable!
As long as she’s crazy enough, no one’s getting away today!
Lin Zhiyi grabbed a knife used for cutting pastries and jumped in front of Qin Shuang, a pampered lady who could hardly be a match for her.
She was promptly pressed down onto the table with a thud.
With the knife held against Qin Shuang’s neck, Lin Zhiyi’s interrogation terrified Qin Shuang so much that she trembled and couldn’t speak.
She questioned, “Song Wanqiu, the recording is fake, is it? You tell me!”
Song Wanqiu, don’t you like to threaten me with Liu He?
How does it feel now to be threatened with a loved one?
