Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1165: I Will Take Them Away

The old man was shocked, clutching his chest and falling to the ground.

Gong Chen walked past his body with an expressionless face, but the hem of his pants was caught by Song Wanqiu’s son.

"Daddy, what’s wrong with you?"

"Am I really your daddy? You don’t want your real dad anymore?"

Gong Chen lowered his gaze, cold as ice.

The child was frightened and withdrew his hand, saying nothing.

Look, though he’s just a child, his heart is also rotten.

He knows everything, as long as it’s good for him, he’ll do it.

Gong Chen pushed him away: "If you don’t want your real dad, then don’t."

The scene shifts, and Liu Xinna’s family’s case is once again in the spotlight.

Unfortunately, Liu Xinna, who knew the truth, was already eliminated by Shen Yan for threatening Song Wanqiu.

But Shen Yan couldn’t escape either, being pinned to the ground in public and handcuffed.

She always wanted to be on top, to become famous.

This time, she truly became famous.

Meanwhile, Li He, on his way to find Song Wanqiu and the child, was directly crushed by a large truck.

The child watched the accident scene, screamed in fear, and cried, wetting his pants in front of everyone.

"Ah! Daddy! Daddy!"

It turns out he could also be afraid.

He was fearless when bullying Xingxing.

Gong Chen continued walking out, and a beautifully dressed Song Wanqiu knelt on the ground, holding onto him.

"Third Young Master! Don’t leave, it was Li He who forced me to do all this. If you mind this child, I can abandon him. We can have our own children in the future. Don’t you love me?"

"I’ve never loved you. Wasn’t it you who started the lies? Was it really you who saved me back then? Sang Ran died, so you thought there was no proof?"

"I... That’s impossible, I’ve stayed with you for so many years, you can’t not love me." Song Wanqiu shook her head in denial.

"Ha. I lied to you."

Gong Chen sneered coldly, stepping over Song Wanqiu’s hand and walked away.

Song Wanqiu screamed in pain, gritting her teeth and clutching her hand: "Then who do you love? Lin Zhiyi? Too bad she hated you until her death. She only knew that you condoned all of this! You killed Xingxing, you forced her to death."

"You’re right; it’s all my fault."

Gong Chen turned and left, leaving Song Wanqiu with only the police’s silver handcuffs.

"Let me go! I’m the Third Madam of the Gong Family! I’m a talented designer!"

"It’s all mine!"

...

Autumn arrived in the blink of an eye.

Gong Chen had always accompanied another self like air.

Watching him guard the grave day and night.

Until an unexpected person appeared.

The man looked a bit worn, with creases on his brow, cautiously placing the flowers in his hands before the tombstone.

"Second Brother, is it taken care of?" he glanced at the man.

"Hmm."

It was Gong Shiyan.

Liu He’s death was too suspicious.

Wen Qing’s sudden comfort was even more puzzling.

Gong Shiyan pretended to let go of Liu He, marrying Wen Qing and settling abroad.

In reality, he collected evidence around Wen Qing, destroying everything Wen Qing cared about, along with the entire Wen Family.

Gong Shiyan stared at the photos of Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing on the tombstone, his eyes red.

"Lao San, did we all make mistakes? Won, yet lost everything. Their ending shouldn’t have been like this. If I hadn’t insisted on marrying Xiao He back then, hadn’t let you meet Zhiyi, would they have..."

"Second Brother, I’m sorry."

"It’s not you who should apologize, I know the struggle in your heart, it’s us who wronged them."

Gong Shiyan sighed, his hair whisked up by the breeze, whiting at the temples.

Gong Shiyan said, "Lao San, when do you plan to go back? The Gong Family is in chaos without you."

"And what about you, Second Brother? Going back?"

Gong Chen didn’t answer, just squatted down and brushed the dust off the tombstone.

Gong Shiyan shook his head: "Not going back, I’m already gone, but Xiao He’s house is still there, she said when we’re old, we’ll go there for retirement. I’m going to be with her. Those power struggles the old man values can be left to those he values. That illegitimate child couldn’t wait any longer, but he isn’t material. Otherwise, the old man wouldn’t have searched the world for you."

Gong Chen said, "I’m not going back either, I once promised Zhiyi to take them away."

"Where to?"

"To a quiet place."

The two exchanged a glance in the wind, Gong Shiyan turned and left.

Gong Chen stood a few steps away, looking at another self gently caressing the photos on the tombstone with a pale smile.

"Zhiyi, Xingxing, I’m taking you away."

He finally understood Xingxing’s accusation in the dream.

Daddy, congratulations, your plan succeeded.

But me and mom are dead too.

Of what use is this success?

All he ever wanted was Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing; why did it turn out like this?

Gong Chen couldn’t bear such an outcome, collapsing to his knees.

...

The scene shifts.

Gong Chen watched himself climb the mountain with a backpack.

On the mountain, there is a temple, the oldest and simplest in Jing City.

Windy steps, seemingly endless.

He didn’t know how long he’d walked, the mountain mist dispersed, golden light shone.

He tightly hugged the bag in his arms, unable to control himself anymore, bowing his head and crying.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong."

"From now on, I’ll be here with you."

But the abbot in the temple was unwilling to take in Gong Chen.

"Mr. Gong, this place cannot ease the guilt in your heart."

He bowed his head: "Then let me stay here with their eternal light."

The abbot sighed and didn’t argue further.

As he left, he glanced in a certain direction.

Gong Chen, like air, was standing there.

Gong Chen hesitated, even feeling as if the abbot could see him.

But the next moment, the abbot calmly walked away.

By the time the Gong Family came looking, Gong Chen had already changed into monk robes.

The old man was furious: "For them, is it worth it?"

Gong Chen didn’t even look at him, directly walking past him toward the distance.

"Gong Chen! What do you want to do?"

"..."

Gong Chen paused slightly, previously he had a lot of hatred, many questions.

Until he heard the old man ask this question, he became extremely calm.

No more asking.

He would never be able to engage in conversation with someone playing deaf and dumb.

The old man knew the answer, yet persisted in asking Gong Chen.

He simply wanted to showcase his power and control.

He wanted to tell Gong Chen that no one can escape his control.

Gong Chen looked him over, extremely coldly said: "You’re old."

The old man’s lips trembled, yet he couldn’t rebut.

He can’t control time, thus he fears it.

His Gong Family would start its decline from this day.

Looking at Gong Chen’s back, the old man became hysterical: "Gong Chen! You stop right there!"

Yet Gong Chen was no longer there.

From then on, Gong Chen resided permanently in the temple.

Though he didn’t pay attention to the Gong Family, some pilgrims would still chat about it.

The illegitimate child hidden by the old man replaced the caretaker entering the Gong Family.

Once Gong Chen left, he eagerly entered Gong Group as an heir.

He negated all of Gong Chen’s previous decisions.

As a result, all original projects stagnated, causing severe losses.

But the illegitimate child’s capability was limited, he couldn’t manage such a large group effectively.

Later, Gong Group had to rely on the old man for survival.

The Jiang Family merely had Elder Jiang guarding the business, but couldn’t keep a single close relative.

Gong Chen accompanied himself, light and dark, standing on the temple’s bridge, looking in a direction as if waiting for someone.

He wondered why, though everything was over, he was still in this space-time?

Until that person appeared.
