Chapter 875: Chapter 874: Startled Bird
Bai Qiuqing took a long ti to co back to her senses before finally taking out her phone and dialing a number.
Half an hour later, Bai Gelin appeared before her. Bai Qiuqing had hardly any reaction, her face pale like a ghost, frightening Bai Gelin so much that he waved his hand several tis in front of her eyes.
“What on earth is going on? What did you an by what you said on the phone?”
“Brother, it looks like the secret from back then can’t be kept hidden any longer.” Bai Qiuqing just felt tired to her core, she closed her eyes wearily, not knowing what to do.
Who could have predicted that a secret hidden for over a decade would suddenly be on the verge of being exposed?
“You… you an Yeqian’s origins?”
Bai Qiuqing nodded.
Bai Gelin sprang up, his voice filled with urgency, “You’re the lady of the Qiao Family, isn’t there sothing you can do to keep a secret hidden? Tell , who else knows about this? In that case, find soone to take care of them all! If it’s done without anyone noticing, no one will ever find out!”
As for Yeqian, he had already thought of a way to deal with the problem.
With the current uproar, he could completely use public opinion to kill him!
An entertainer committing suicide because they couldn’t handle the scrutiny wasn’t sothing unusual in the entertainnt industry nowadays. As long as things are handled carefully, no one would find out about what happened back then.
“It’s impossible now.” Bai Qiuqing shook her head, her eyes filled with a sense of despair, “Do you know who knows about this? It’s Qiao Xiaren. She is the prized jewel in the old master’s hand; how could I dare touch her? If it were anyone else, I could have them taken care of without a second thought, but it just had to be Qiao Xiaren who found out about Yeqian’s heritage!”
By the final sentence, Bai Qiuqing already sounded sowhat resentful.
She didn’t know whether this was a punishnt from the heavens, or if Qiao Xiaren was naturally her Bai Qiuqing’s nesis!
Upon hearing the na Qiao Xiaren, Bai Gelin couldn’t respond for a mont and fell back heavily into his seat. His face turned slightly pale as he shook his head fiercely.
“No, I absolutely cannot let this co to light!”
“Brother, don’t get agitated right now; we have to think of a way to deal with this. Getting anxious and upset is useless.”
“And you still dare to say that it’s all your fault! Who told you to start panicking the mont you saw Yeqian? If you hadn’t leaked that fake news, none of this would have happened!”
Right now, Bai Gelin regretted everything severely, blaming Bai Qiuqing entirely.
If they had just pretended that nothing had happened, Yeqian would still just be Yeqian from the entertainnt industry, without any further dealings with their high-society circles.
Seeing her brother only knew how to bla her, Bai Qiuqing also felt a trace of resentnt, “Brother, are you trying to do hindsight now? Don’t forget, you’re also involved in this matter! If Yeqian’s heritage really gets exposed by Qiao Xiaren, neither you nor I will be able to escape!”
Bai Qiuqing was filled with regret as well, especially since she hadn’t expected Qiao Xiaren to guess Yeqian’s heritage, linking the recent scandals to her as well.
It was a case of being too clever by half; the more she had tried to hide Yeqian’s heritage, the more impossible it beca to conceal. It might have even contributed to the exposure of Yeqian’s origins.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiuqing felt sick to her stomach!
Sadly, there’s no dicine for regret in this world; now, all they could do was try to find a way to salvage the situation.
Bai Gelin suddenly reached out and grabbed Bai Qiuqing’s hand, his gaze nacing, “Sister, in for a penny, in for a pound. We might as well take care of Qiao Xiaren too, and your days in the Qiao Family will be smooth sailing afterward!”
Hearing Bai Gelin’s idea, Bai Qiuqing’s eyes widened, and she shoved his hand away forcefully, “Have you lost your mind? If I dare lay a hand on Qiao Xiaren, the old master will kill !”
