Evidence #030: Don't try to play tricks on me!
With a smile on his face, Bai Zixuan was certain that the plan would succeed, based on his understanding of Gu Mingxia over the past few years.
Bai Ruiqing, who was sitting to the side, just pursed her lips and frowned deeply when she heard what he said.
She didn't consider herself a good person, but she never expected that her own brother would be such a despicable person, willing to use a dead person to threaten Gu Mingxia without any scruples in order to get a divorce and not lose money.
Although she had no feelings for Gu Mingxia and disliked that seemingly hypocritical woman, now that she was a woman herself, she truly felt great sympathy for her sister-in-law who had a scumbag husband!
"This is none of my business, I'm leaving!"
Holding her phone, Bai Ruiqing got up and walked out. Her mother wanted to say something, but Bai Zixuan waved her hand to stop her.
When she opened the door, Bai Ruiqing turned around and looked at Bai Zixuan, who had a smug look on his face, and frowned slightly.
"Brother, Gu Mingxia isn't as innocent as she seems. Your schemes against her... won't end well!"
"You brat, are you siding with outsiders?"
Before Bai Zixuan could speak, Bai's mother had already started scolding him. Bai Ruiqing shrugged; since he wouldn't listen, she didn't care anymore—it had nothing to do with her anyway!
"Xuan, are you sure this is okay?"
Ye Xiaorou looked at him with slight worry. In her heart, she didn't want Gu Mingxia to receive even a tiny bit of the Gu family's property, let alone for Bai Zixuan to leave with nothing!
All this wealth will be hers in the future, how could she let another woman have a piece of it?
"Xiaorou, don't worry..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Zixuan's phone rang. He got up and went into a guest room, closing the door behind him. Ye Xiaorou stared at the door with worry and unease in her eyes.
"Zixuan is a person of status and position. Given your background, being able to enter the Bai family is already a great honor. So you should know your place and be mindful of your actions!"
Bai's mother noticed the message in Ye Xiaorou's eyes. As a woman, she naturally understood what Ye Xiaorou was thinking and gave her a timely heads-up.
"Mom is right, I know all of that!"
Ye Xiaorou lowered her head, her voice soft, appearing every inch the submissive, demure first wife of a wealthy family. Seeing this, Madam Bai felt a surge of displeasure, but said nothing more, only letting out a heavy snort.
Why are you calling me now?
Bai Zixuan closed the door and deliberately lowered his voice. Huo Jialingling on the other end of the phone snorted unhappily.
"When you used to beg me, you would call me countless times a day. How come you've grown up now and I can't even call you?"
Bai Zixuan sat on the bed, smiling as he spoke softly.
"Lingling, you know my situation right now, okay? Be good, I'll make it up to you next time! I promise I'll make you feel like you're flying!"
"Alright, enough with the useless promises! Come to our usual spot later, I have something to discuss with you!"
"Now? I'm afraid that won't work! Xiaorou is still at home!"
"I don't care, if you don't arrive at the usual spot in half an hour, I can't guarantee that everyone will know about my relationship with Bai Zixuan tomorrow!"
Huo Jialing hung up the phone immediately. Bai Zixuan frowned deeply as he looked at his phone, but still decided to go to their usual spot to meet her.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ye Xiaorou standing in the doorway. Bai Zixuan looked flustered and forced a smile at her.
"Xiaorou..."
"Xuan, you don't look well, are you alright?"
Despite feeling heavy, Ye Xiaorou reached out and touched his forehead. Bai Zixuan took her hand and helped her sit on the sofa.
"Mom, something's come up at the company, I need to go out for a bit."
"It's so late, are you still going out?"
Ye Xiaorou spoke with displeasure, and Bai Zixuan was thinking about how to appease her when Bai's mother gave her a sharp look. Ye Xiaorou immediately lowered her head, but her eyes were filled with strong dissatisfaction, and she kept cursing this formidable old woman in her heart.
"Of course a man should prioritize his career. Do you expect Zixuan to stay home with you all day? You're just a beer girl. Now you're being pampered and served well at the Bai family's house. Do you expect Zixuan to ignore the company and only care about you?"
"Mom, that's not what Xiaorou meant."
Bai Zixuan looked at Xiao Rou, who had her head down, and said something unpleasantly. Then he turned around and patted Xiao Rou's hand with affection.
"Xiaorou, you're pregnant, you don't need to wait for me, go to sleep first."
"Okay, be careful on the road!"
Ye Xiaorou nodded with a smile, her eyes filled with tears. As Bai Zixuan left, he winked at his mother before hurriedly driving to the outskirts of the city.
"Mom, I'm going back to my room to rest!"
After glancing at Bai's mother, Ye Xiaorou, heavily pregnant, slowly walked upstairs to her bedroom. Bai's mother didn't say anything, only giving her a disdainful look at her retreating figure.
Bai Zixuan drove very fast, and in about fifteen minutes they arrived at a resort hotel in the suburbs.
After parking his car, he took the elevator directly from the underground garage to the top floor, opened a room door with his room card, and before he could close the door, a figure came over and hugged him.
Bai Zixuan stiffened, and as he closed the door, he turned around and hugged Huo Jialingling tightly, his eyes flashing with indifference.
"What brings you here so late?"
Huo Jialing pressed her face against his chest, closed her eyes, let out a long sigh, then left his embrace and sat on the sofa to the side.
"I met Lin Qingge today, and she said that if Gu Mingxia insists on suing the two brothers for rape, there is a high chance they will be convicted!"
"Then what should we do?"
Bai Zixuan sat down next to Huo Jialingling, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and put it in her mouth.
Taking a deep breath, Huo Jialing leaned back on the sofa and exhaled a large smoke ring. The expression on her face was obscured by the swirling smoke. She closed her eyes, seemingly trying to cast away all her worries.
"Lin Qingge suggested that I settle this privately. Gu Mingxia also called me and said that if Jackie Chan and the others recorded an audio message for her, she would drop her charges against them."
recording?
Bai Zixuan quickly realized that she wanted the Huo brothers to record the incident of catching them in the act of adultery. If she had a recording to prove that he had orchestrated the affair, then he would definitely be the party at fault for the marriage due to infidelity, and in the divorce, he would most likely leave with nothing.
However, while thinking about these things, a plan immediately formed in his mind. Bai Zixuan sat down next to Huo Jialingling, reached out and hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her lips, and his big hands began to move restlessly on her body.
Huo Jialing frowned, pushed Bai Zixuan away forcefully, and simply lay exhausted in his arms.
"Zixuan, I'm not in the mood!"
"It's alright. By the way, just do what Mingxia asks. Nothing is more important than the reputation of Jackie Chan and his brother!"
Bai Zixuan feigned concern, gently patting her back with his large hand. Huo Jialingling was unhappy just thinking about Gu Mingxia's confident voice.
"Zixuan, I'm not reconciled!"
She publicly stated in front of so many reporters that she would sue her son for rape, and now she can just pretend nothing happened with a single sentence?
Besides, she also hurt her own son, didn't she?
Lin Qingge had told her that Cheng Hu had an abdominal injury and needed to rest for a long time, and that Cheng Long had a small piece of his finger bitten off by her. Although it was reattached in time, it still affected his flexibility to some extent.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this matter. I guarantee that Cheng Hu and his brother won't go to jail, and you'll get your revenge!"
Bai Zixuan's words successfully pleased Huo Jialingling, and the two embraced and lingered for a long time until midnight, when Bai Zixuan finally got dressed and left the resort hotel.
Two days later, Lin Qingge successfully used the pretext of medical parole to bring the two Huo brothers out of the detention center.
Inside the hotel, Gu Mingxia and Huo Jialingling sat on the sofa. The two brothers were both taken aback when they entered and saw her.
"Mom, what is she doing here?"
"I think I'll get straight to the point. I've reached an agreement with Mrs. Huo. If you two brothers record a statement for me saying that Bai Zixuan catching his lover was a scheme you orchestrated, and then testify in court when I'm in divorce proceedings, I'll drop the charges against you. How about it?"
Huo Chenglong and Huo Chenghu exchanged a glance, then sat on the large bed and looked at Huo Jialingling, who nodded to them.
"What if you change your mind after recording? How can we trust you?"
Huo Chenglong covered his fingers, looking at her with some fear.
This woman is terrifying, she's practically a demon! Thinking back to that day, cold sweat kept pouring down Huo Chenglong's back.
"Unless something unexpected happens, do you have any better choice than to trust me?"
Although Huo Jialingling was very unwilling, she still sat down next to her two sons and looked at them attentively.
"Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan, you two are still young. You can't carry the label of rapist for the rest of your lives. Mom believes Miss Gu is not a person who goes back on her word!"
"Fine! Miss Gu, even if you want to accuse us of rape, it's not true. We didn't touch you at all that day, did we?"
Gu Mingxia smiled faintly, neither answering yes nor no. Instead, she took out her phone, set up the recording function, and the two brothers looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before recounting how Bai Zixuan found them and tricked them into setting up a honey trap to force Gu Mingxia to leave with nothing.
She also told Gu Mingxia something very important: that morning, she arrived at the hotel close to dawn, and the three of them simply took off their clothes and lay on a large bed; they didn't do anything out of line.
"Okay, Mrs. Huo, rest assured, I have gotten what I wanted, and I will certainly not make things difficult for you anymore. Of course, I hope you will also keep your promise."
Gu Mingxia put away her phone, smiled slightly at the mother and her two children, put away her bag, and got up to walk out of the room.
As he opened the door, he turned back and patted his head.
"I almost forgot, you'd better not try anything funny, or you'll regret it!"
