Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1148: Uninvited Guest

Regarding the high school classmates looking for Lin Zhiyi again.

She’s puzzled too.

She really couldn’t think of any sense of camaraderie between them.

Chu Yin found the woman’s name in the bottom row of the photo.

Yu Mei.

Looking at the little delinquent’s defiant and disdainful gaze.

Chu Yin said, "Could it be that she thinks what she did to you wasn’t a big deal?"

Lin Zhiyi nodded.

"Probably."

After all, the perpetrators never think they’re wrong.

According to her parents back then, it was just minor skirmishes and verbal conflicts between classmates.

An apology and it was supposed to be over.

The teacher also said that if there’s no substantial harm, even if it blows up, it will only affect Lin Zhiyi’s studies.

Because Yu Mei didn’t care about grades at all, it actually worked out for her.

So, in the end, Lin Zhiyi agreed with the teacher’s suggestion, ending it with an apology.

Luckily, Yu Mei seemed to lose interest in her afterward and never bothered her again.

Just occasionally liked to throw out some ambiguous jabs.

But those didn’t hurt Lin Zhiyi.

She didn’t want to be affected, after all, with her above-average grades, she still needed to try harder to get into the Art University in Jing City.

After the college entrance exams, Lin Zhiyi never saw Yu Mei again.

If Yu Mei hadn’t come looking for her, Lin Zhiyi would have long forgotten.

"No wonder she’s so arrogant outside, but I checked her reports and found what she writes as a journalist... is so one-sided."

During the conversation, Chu Yin had already looked up Yu Mei online.

Since gaining some popularity, Chu Yin also had the privilege to select the reports.

Some reporters would send her the interview content in advance.

Some junior reporters, trying to seize opportunities, wrote rather impressive pieces, with striking angles.

But when it came to Yu Mei, whether it was interviewing celebrities or understanding brands, her perspectives were very one-dimensional.

Luxury goods were just filled with flowery language, and celebrities were just handsome or beautiful.

Completely lacking depth.

Chu Yin said, "If reports like hers can get published, she must have good connections."

"She married into connections. Her husband used to be the magazine’s deputy editor-in-chief. Even though he’s the former, he ensures her exposure all year round," Lin Zhiyi explained.

"Why the former deputy editor-in-chief? That magazine has a decent reputation; usually, people wouldn’t resign just like that, right?" Chu Yin asked curiously.

"No idea, there’s only one resignation statement online, quietly done," Lin Zhiyi shook her head.

Chu Yin pursed her lips: "I feel there’s something fishy. You should be careful. With how arrogant she was towards you before, can a receptionist really stop her? She doesn’t even consider you."

Lin Zhiyi found the advice reasonable and messaged Chen Jin to find an excuse to send Yu Mei away.

Soon, Chen Jin replied, saying Yu Mei left in a huff.

Lin Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and planned to arrange a meal with others.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, as soon as they reached the parking lot, they were startled by a sudden figure.

Thankfully, Chen Jin immediately shielded Lin Zhiyi, pushing the figure back a few steps.

Once the person steadied, Lin Zhiyi realized it was Yu Mei.

She never left; instead, she waited in the parking lot all afternoon.

Though Yu Mei dressed like a white-collar worker, her expression towards Lin Zhiyi was the same as in high school, with a sarcastic undertone.

"Old classmate, long time no see. Is this your new beau?"

She snidely pointed at Chen Jin.

Lin Zhiyi frowned and said, "He’s my assistant. You’re a journalist; you should know how to speak properly, right?"

"Since you know I’m a journalist, you should understand I say what I want." Yu Mei folded her arms, "Shall we find somewhere to sit and chat? Perhaps I can do my interview as well."

Her words startled Chu Yin and Chen Jin.

Not only rude, but outright arrogant.

Lin Zhiyi knew why Yu Mei dared to speak like that, simply assuming she would give in like before.

After all, with more fame comes more caution.

Generally, people with some fame wouldn’t argue with reporters, as their nonsensical babble could be troublesome to clarify.

To the public, what journalists say carries a lot of credibility.

But Lin Zhiyi didn’t care about Yu Mei’s threats at all.

"Sorry, I don’t do personal interviews. I’m afraid you’ve come for nothing. I have something else to attend to."

"You... Lin Zhiyi, don’t forget..."

Just as Yu Mei was about to say something, Lin Zhiyi raised her hand to interrupt, pointing at the surveillance camera.

"Reporter Yu, I advise you to be cautious with your words and, when writing, be careful."

Yu Mei immediately put on a different face: "Lin Zhiyi, sorry, I might have been too hasty. When you have time, I’ll come to you again, just to catch up."

Typical reporter, instantly throwing out questions.

Lin Zhiyi smiled: "I’m pretty busy recently. I’ll contact you when I have some free time."

Having said that, Lin Zhiyi prepared to get in the car and leave.

Yu Mei seemed prepared and took out her phone’s WeChat interface.

"I’ve changed my number. Scan it, and I’ll confirm the time with you later."

Lin Zhiyi glanced and took out her phone to scan.

Yu Mei quickly approved, her eyes flirty, seemingly suggesting Lin Zhiyi was as easy to handle as before.

After getting in the car.

Chu Yin curiously asked, "Why did you give her your WeChat?"

"It’s just a work WeChat, the same for everyone. At the most, I’ll ignore her. Besides, she clearly came over thoroughly prepared. If I don’t give it this time, she’ll come back next time. Now, with WeChat, her coming uninvited wouldn’t make sense," Lin Zhiyi explained.

"Makes sense, but what did she almost say just now?" Chu Yin asked.

"I suspect it’s related to high school matters. She always thought I had a sugar daddy behind me."

"Really, with your current status and your relationship with Second Young Master, is it that hard to guess?" Chu Yin didn’t understand.

"That’s exactly why I’m puzzled. Her coming to bother me now is obviously inappropriate."

Lin Zhiyi cherished her achievements now, so she didn’t want someone who bullied her to start making things up.

Chen Jin stepped forward and said, "I’ll look into it."

"Okay."

After giving the instruction, Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin went ahead to the restaurant.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Gong Chen holding Xingxing, waiting at the door.

"Mom!" Xingxing waved vigorously.

Lin Zhiyi quickly stepped forward and kissed Xingxing: "Why aren’t you waiting for me inside?"

Xingxing pointed at Gong Chen: "It’s dad. If he can’t see you, he can’t sit still, wife’s slave."

Gong Chen raised an eyebrow: "Where did you learn that?"

Xingxing laughed and said: "Uncle Li Huan said that about himself, and to me, you guys look the same way."

Now that it’s mentioned, Li Huan indeed is a wife’s slave.

Whatever the wife says is like an imperial decree.

Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi and asked, "Why were you so late?"

Lin Zhiyi was thinking about how to explain when Chu Yin couldn’t hold back.

"Third Young Master, let me tell you, you’ve really harmed Zhiyi, being young and beautiful yet already associated with you..."

"Hmm?"

Gong Chen looked puzzled.

Lin Zhiyi could only stifle her laughter on the side.
