Chapter 594: Chapter 594: No Match for a Dead Person
Bai Ruoshu’s plan to kill two birds with one stone was a great success.
She successfully shifted the focus of the battle onto Lin Zhiyi.
After Xue Man issued the statent, many people in the jewelry circle distanced themselves from Lin Zhiyi and strongly supported Bai Ruoshu.
The matter of Bai Ruoshu’s new product design having issues was long forgotten.
Everyone acted like judges, declaring Lin Zhiyi guilty.
Lin Zhiyi was worried that the public opinion would affect Gong Chen.
So, she suggested, “Why don’t we ask the hospital for the complete surveillance footage?”
“Asked Li Huan already, but the surveillance was conveniently broken, only capturing this segnt.”
Gong Chen’s voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
Clearly, the surveillance was intentionally sabotaged.
Lin Zhiyi then rembered Li Huan saying the director and Yang Jingwei were good friends.
“Then…”
“Relax, in this life, apart from being threatened by you, no one else can threaten .”
Gong Chen spoke with double anings.
Lin Zhiyi nearly choked on the cookie in her mouth.
“When did I threaten you?”
“Never? It just happened last night.”
“Where…”
Lin Zhiyi hadn’t finished speaking when so images suddenly flashed through her mind.
Gong Chen, in order to prove his point, applied it practically.
Over and over.
By the end, Lin Zhiyi could only grab onto his arm in threat.
“If you don’t control yourself, don’t even think about it in the future!”
Only then did he let her go.
Exhausted, she even needed his help to bathe afterward.
Lin Zhiyi’s cheeks flushed red: “Not talking to you anymore, Xingxing is calling , hanging up.”
She put down the phone, her breathing sowhat rapid.
After calming down, she realized everyone was staring at her.
Xingxing tilted her head: “Mom, I didn’t call you.”
Lin Zhiyi smiled awkwardly: “I was joking with Daddy.”
Only Liao Yi and the lady chuckled, having guessed sothing.
Lin Zhiyi hurriedly used eating to cover her embarrassnt.
…
The public opinion continued to fernt, Lin Zhiyi was quickly becoming the representative of the modern ungrateful child.
Bai Ruoshu looked at the comnts and laughed out loud.
After putting down her phone, she raised her eyes to look at Yang Jingwei sipping tea.
“Mom, good thing you had a backup, but the hospital’s surveillance…”
“Don’t worry, the director owes your dad a favor, he’s long since deleted the footage.” Yang Jingwei said leisurely, drinking tea.
Bai Ruoshu was slightly surprised: “How co I’ve never heard you ntion such a good relationship with the director before?”
Yang Jingwei paused with the teacup raised.
“It’s all in the past, what’s the point of bringing it up?”
Bai Ruoshu was currently enjoying her success, and didn’t pay it much mind.
“Mom, when do you think Third Young Master will co looking for ?”
“Don’t worry, Lin Zhiyi has no retreat now. If she doesn’t want to beco notorious, she can only hope for Third Young Master to co find you. Once a woman becos a burden to a man, she’s not far from being abandoned by him.”
Yang Jingwei sneered, shaking the teacup in her hand.
She understands n.
Emotions are nothing but empty clouds.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoshu smiled elegantly, raising her cup as a toast to Yang Jingwei with tea instead of wine.
“Thank you, Mom.”
“Good girl.”
Yang Jingwei contentedly drank her tea.
The maid entered and said, “Madam, President Bai is back.”
She put down the teacup and rose to greet him.
Seeing Bai Zhengxian entering, she imdiately raised her hand to help him remove his coat.
Then, when he sat down, she handed him a freshly brewed cup of tea.
Bai Zhengxian was long accustod to Yang Jingwei’s attentiveness, saying nothing, he naturally drank the tea.
His gaze swept over Bai Ruoshu.
“This affair was handled well.”
“Thank you, Dad.”
Bai Ruoshu lowered her gaze slightly.
Though she felt uneasy about her father finding won who resembled Lin Zhiyi.
But she’s not foolish.
All the resources she has now are given by her father, so she could never fall out with her father.
No matter which woman her father loves, Mrs. Bai can only be her mother.
Bai Zhengxian put down his tea cup and inquired, “Has Third Young Master contacted you yet?”
Bai Ruoshu pressed her lips together, her gaze falling on the silent phone.
Seeing this, Yang Jingwei stood up to offer tea to Bai Zhengxian.
“No need to rush, after all, the public opinion hasn’t fully fernted yet, and Third Young Master isn’t soone who acts hastily.”
Bai Zhengxian raised his cup, glanced at Yang Jingwei, and furrowed his brow slightly.
“Third Young Master indeed isn’t one to act hastily, but he’s not one to sit back and wait for things to happen either. You both previously sided with Gong Yao, do you really think he’ll just let it go?”
“Dad, the matter with Gong Yao is…”
Bai Ruoshu was about to explain when Yang Jingwei interrupted her.
“Honey, it’s not the daughter’s fault, I didn’t observe the situation well, it was my fault for causing you trouble. After this is over, everything will be fine. Ruoshu and I have long since planned the next step.”
“Mm.”
Bai Zhengxian saw Yang Jingwei acting submissively and decided not to pursue the matter further.
Given the current situation, Lin Zhiyi is truly powerless to turn things around.
He rose to leave: “Ruoshu, handle this matter well. I’m tired and need so rest.”
“Yes, Dad.” Bai Ruoshu assured him.
Bai Zhengxian glanced at Yang Jingwei when leaving.
Yang Jingwei smiled slightly, quietly standing up: “I’ll go check on your dad.”
Once in the room.
Bai Zhengxian sat on the sofa drinking wine.
Yang Jingwei locked the door, smiling as she walked to him to massage his shoulders.
“Honey, we only have one daughter under our na. I had a dical checkup recently, and the doctor said it’s not difficult for to get pregnant again. How about we…”
Bai Zhengxian, holding the cup, said casually, “Is this why you’ve repeatedly made things difficult for the Second Madam despite your status?”
Yang Jingwei’s hand froze, hastily explaining, “No, I only feel one daughter is too lonely.”
In the next second, her hand was forcefully twisted by Bai Zhengxian.
She could even vaguely hear the sound of her bones creaking.
“Jingwei, you know very well what kind of person I am. We are here to handle major business, and if you dare to ruin it for , you should know how I will deal with you.”
“Yes, yes… It hurts.”
Yang Jingwei’s face turned pale, nodding repeatedly.
Just as Bai Zhengxian was about to twist her arm, he released her.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he continued, “How’s the matter with Chu Yin?”
Yang Jingwei smiled through the pain: “She’s unwilling to agree to social engagents.”
“Is it her unwillingness or you’re withholding?” Bai Zhengxian asked coldly.
“…”
Yang Jingwei half-knelt beside him, not daring to breathe heavily.
Bai Zhengxian looked down at her: “Do you really think I can’t see that the information you provided on Chu Yin is incomplete? She’s so short on money, you can’t handle her?”
Yang Jingwei grabbed his hand: “Honey, I’m thinking of your interest too. Before, Chu Yin was by Mr. Sang’s side, if she still has contact with Mr. Sang, that would be detrintal to our major business…”
“Jingwei, I don’t like repeating my orders.” Bai Zhengxian interrupted her.
“I, I understand.”
Upon hearing the word ‘orders’, Yang Jingwei’s shoulders trembled, she nodded.
After issuing instructions, Bai Zhengxian left.
Seeing the closed door, Yang Jingwei felt as if all her strength had been drained, slumping to the ground.
After twenty years, she found herself unequaled even by a dead person.
How could she resign to this?
At this mont, her fallen phone lit up.
Yang Jingwei picked up the phone to check; it was from the group of socialite ladies.
They were currently having morning tea together, and aside from the host, the second person in the photo was Liu He.
Why!
Thump, thump, a knocking sound ca from the door.
“Mom, are you okay?”
Upon hearing this, a trace of viciousness passed over Yang Jingwei’s face, she imdiately put away the phone and stood up to open the door.
