Chapter 222: Never Chose Her

Gong Chen's expression was ghastly.

His narrowed eyes emitted a chill, "Lin Zhiyi."

Lin Zhiyi looked straight into his eyes, "Didn't you know what the old man did today? Was it amusing to see us, mother and daughter, struggling to gain favor? I really don't want to play this game with you anymore, that night is long over, uncle."

Between them, the relationship could only come so far as this 'uncle.'

A cold gleam flickered in Gong Chen's eyes as he turned and walked towards the direction of the garbage bin.

Lin Zhiyi watched his retreating figure with mixed feelings, unsure if she hoped he would retrieve that bag or just leave it be.

Lin Zhiyi instinctively looked towards Gong Chen.

He stopped.
