Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: The Return of an Old Friend, Evening Banquet Upheaval (6) Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: The Return of an Old Friend, Evening Banquet Upheaval (6) Last night, Lin Zhi and Ye Zheng walking into the banquet together was an immense shock to Mo Jianrong.

Mo Jianrong left the hospital room and hid in the corridor to smoke.

Lan Lin chased after him and was rather bewildered by the sight of Mo Jianrong’s defeated figure smoking. She thought she had got the best, and not even the “death” of Lin Zhi did she feel a hint of guilt.

After all, it was Lin Zhi who had pushed Mo Jianrong away back then, giving her the chance to step in.

She had always thought she won completely, yet the woman who had died now suddenly stood alive right in front of her, Lin Zhi appearing so gracefully in public.

The Mo Jianrong by her side now showed his age, while Ye Zheng was in the prime of his life. The three Ye brothers standing together, how many women’s admiring gazes did they attract?

And yet someone like Lin Zhi, an older woman, could still marry Ye Zheng, how laughable was the outcome?

It turned out that the person who won in the end, who laughed last, was not her but Lin Zhi.

Tonight Lin Zhi didn’t even glance at her, as if her presence was insignificant.

“Lin Zhi–” Lan Lin spat out the name through gritted teeth.

Since Lin Zhi dared to return to Taicheng, she was determined to push this woman to the forefront of controversy. She had driven Lin Zhi away once, and she could do it again today; she couldn’t let her happy family fall apart because of Lin Zhi’s presence.

The next morning, Su Hongxing wasn’t surprised when she saw the news about Ye Zheng and Lin Zhi all over the internet.

“I guess Lan Lin is behind this,” Su Hongxing said to Ye Qilan.

Although the reports were circumspect, they all implied Lin Zhi was not worthy of Ye Zheng, expressing the writer’s dissatisfaction. Those reports also dug deep into the two people’s past, and in no time, the entire internet was abuzz.

Some said that Lin Zhi must have garnered good karma in her past life to marry a great man like Ye Zheng. Others argued that today’s May-December relationships were not as unacceptable as they were years ago, with even celebrities engaging in them, so why couldn’t Ye Zheng and Lin Zhi’s relationship be accepted?

The comments that followed were very interesting, showing a one-sided situation. They all mentioned that if Lin Zhi hadn’t been saved by Ye Zheng back then, she would have died in vain.

Whereas Lan Lin, who had ascended to her position through being a mistress, lived very well with Mo Jianrong over the years. This couple prospered after Lin Zhi’s “death,” and now seeing Lin Zhi and Ye Zheng so happy, it’s likely someone was jealous and trying to throw dirt on Ye Zheng and Lin Zhi.

Su Hongxing enjoyed reading the gossip scandals, noting how netizens had become sharp, each like a detective.

Seeing Su Hongxing so entertained, Ye Qilan simply joined her to discuss the gossip at home.

It wasn’t until Su Hongxing’s phone rang, and she saw it was Mo Li, who hadn’t contacted her for a long time.

Su Hongxing glanced at Ye Qilan subconsciously, and he looked away.

In the past, he probably wouldn’t have allowed Su Hongxing to answer the call. But now, he couldn’t be unreasonable, or it would trigger another family conflict.

Su Hongxing went aside to answer the call, and the first thing Mo Li said was, “You were also at the banquet last night, is what the internet is saying true?”

“I just found out last night that Lin Zhi is your mother. It’s true, she is still alive and doing very well,” Su Hongxing replied softly.

She suddenly remembered the day Ye Qilan went to the church to stop the wedding. Ye Qilan had said then that he knew where Lin Zhi was.

At that time, both she and Mo Li probably didn’t expect that what Ye Qilan said was true.
