C10 Meeting Gong Lingye Again

"I just happened to see your medical file," Soong Yiren said casually.

Gong Mochen was taken aback. He had locked those records away in a cabinet. How could she have seen them?

Unbeknownst to him, on the day Soong Yiren's soul traversed to this world, perhaps due to her ethereal form, she witnessed many things.

She saw his medical records, Gong Mochen's aunt indulging in an adult film, a child stealthily spiking the chef's soup with chili water in the backyard, and even caught a glimpse of Gong Lingye's alluring bare back as he changed clothes.

These visions had flooded her mind unexpectedly, long after her arrival when she was initially without consciousness. She hadn't anticipated that these revelations would prove so crucial today.

Gong Mochen, feeling the sting of coercion, had resolved to change his cabinet's locks. The taste of being blackmailed was bitter. He rose to his feet and announced, "My secretary will be in touch with you."

With those words, he departed with long strides.

A smile played on Soong Yiren's lips as she glanced at the vivid red mark on her wrist, musing to herself that it had all been worthwhile.

Having the Gong Family as a bulwark meant that Yu Chengzhi would hold off on pressuring her into a marriage with that abusive man, at least for the time being.

Soong Yiren was well aware of Yu Chengzhi's avarice and cunning. Without the Gong Family's backing, he might very well toss her into Wang Kai's clutches.

Currently, she was bereft of resources. Her status was far too inferior to Chu Mingyao's; any impulsive confrontation would be futile.

Moreover, she had no intention of letting Gong Mochen make an unwarranted sacrifice. She planned to join the Heavenly Palace Group and elevate his company to unprecedented heights.

Once she established herself within the Heavenly Palace Group, she could entice Chu Mingyao to employ her. That would mark the beginning of her calculated vengeance.

Little did Gong Mochen know that by that evening, he would become the subject of viral social media posts, with headlines like "Gong Mochen's Girlfriend" and "Gong Mochen's Secret Café Rendezvous with a Ravishing Beauty" flooding Weibo.

News spread quickly that Gong Mochen's girlfriend was a student at Imperial City University and the third daughter of the Yu family, Yu Ruonuan.

A smile played on Soong Yiren's lips when she read the news.

Her 'date' with Gong Mochen today was a setup—she had anonymously tipped off the reporters to create this exact buzz.

Sure enough, Yu Chengzhi couldn't contain his excitement, messaging her to inquire if she needed money. He offered to send a generous amount for her to purchase an elegant dress.

Seeing an extra 300,000 yuan in her account, Soong Yiren's smile deepened. Her father was indeed willing to go to great lengths to ingratiate himself with the Gong Family.

In Yu Ruonuan's memories, Yu Chengzhi had never been so generous with her!

Soong Yiren gladly accepted the 300,000, but she had no intention of buying any dress. That, she knew, would be taken care of by others.

Yu Ruonuan had left a task unfinished at the MSRA lab, so Soong Yiren headed there early the next morning.

She had earned her place in the MSRA lab through her exceptional academic performance but had fallen behind while pursuing Gong Mochen.

Now, it was time to get back on track.

Once Soong Yiren and her team had delegated their tasks, they dove into work.

During a break, after completing a small program, she stepped out to the restroom.

Returning, she noticed a new figure in the hallway.

The man, tall and imposing, leaned casually against the wall, his back to her as he spoke on the phone. His silhouette struck a chord of familiarity.

As Soong Yiren approached, he ended his call. The corridor's shadows sculpted his profile into sharp relief.

It was Gong Lingye.
