Chapter 235 Regret, Gu Mingxia, you really got what you deserved this time.
Song Jia gave Gu Mingxia an OK sign, stepped on the gas, and the car sped towards the bank. Gu Mingxia sat in the car and made a call to the VIP account manager, then sat there silently, her eyes constantly looking out the window.
This time she made a huge decision. From then on, she and Bai Zixuan became enemies. For some reason, Gu Mingxia felt a little lost.
She knew very well that she wasn't disappointed because of Bai Zixuan, but because he had long lost the sunny disposition he once had.
Gu Mingxia knew perfectly well that everyone had the right to choose the life they wanted to live, and Bai Zixuan's actions were understandable. Just like how she was now using all her strength to attack him for the sake of the child in her womb.
"Miss Gu, you've arrived."
As soon as Gu Mingxia got out of the car, she saw the VIP account manager standing at the bank entrance, waiting for her with a smile. She immediately smiled back and extended her hand to the account manager.
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you during your lunch break."
“Ms. Gu is our bank’s SVIP customer, and it is my honor to serve you personally.”
The account manager smiled and shook hands with Gu Mingxia, then gestured for her to follow. Gu Mingxia smiled slightly, and the two walked together into the VIP lounge.
During the time Song Jia spent with Gu Mingxia, she truly witnessed what a socialite and SVIP treatment were like.
Let alone just having the account manager receive Gu Mingxia during her lunch break, they would even have to scurry over to serve this goddess who was like a god of wealth while she was eating.
"I rented a safe here a while ago, and now I'd like to take the things out of it. Is that okay?"
"Of course you can. Although the bank owns the safe deposit box, you have the right to use it from the moment you rent it, Ms. Gu. So you have the right to decide how to handle the contents inside."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Gu Mingxia took the key to the safe out of her bag and, accompanied by the account manager, went to the room where the safe was located.
In about ten minutes, Gu Mingxia came out carrying a small box and smiled at Song Jia when she saw him.
"I will continue to rent this safe. Thank you for your help today."
"Miss Gu is too kind."
As Gu Mingxia sat in her car after leaving the bank, she didn't say a word. She gently stroked the small box with her hand, sighed softly after a long while, and deftly opened the box, taking out a few thin sheets of paper.
After carefully examining the papers she had taken out, Gu Mingxia frowned slightly. Then, as if she had made a great decision, she folded the papers in half and handed them to Song Jia, who was driving in front.
"You should find a way to send this out when you get back."
Song Jia frowned in confusion, but still took the things Gu Mingxia handed over. After opening them, he only glanced at them briefly before suddenly slamming on the brakes and stopping the car on the side of the road.
"Goddess, are you sure you want me to send all this out? Are you sure? Are you really sure?"
"When did you become so long-winded? I already made up my mind to ask you to send it out, so why are you asking so many questions?"
Gu Mingxia's eyes flickered slightly. She gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, but in that instant, all the flickering in her eyes and the hesitation on her face disappeared, replaced by a resolute expression.
"But have you considered the huge impact these things would have if they got out?"
Song Jia held up the few thin sheets of paper, his face unusually devoid of his usual nonchalant expression, instead showing a more solemn and serious demeanor.
"Of course I know that. Oh dear, you've been talking too much today."
"Goddess, have you really thought this through? Once these things get out, you'll not only bankrupt Bai Zixuan, but also cause Director Ye to say goodbye to politics forever."
“Song Jia, I know I can make Bai Zixuan lose everything even without this method, but you have to understand, I don’t have much time to waste, I can’t afford to wait. Bai Zixuan is the kind of person who, unless you completely crush him, will retaliate whenever he gets the chance. Before, when I was alone, it didn’t matter, really, I didn’t care about what he did. But now it’s different. I have a child, I’m a mother, and this identity tells me I absolutely cannot put my child in danger. For a peaceful life in the future, I have to be ruthless this time.”
As Gu Mingxia spoke, she radiated an unparalleled maternal glow, yet Song Jia's brows remained tightly furrowed.
"But if it turns out that these things were released by the Gu family, do you think the Gu family will still be able to break free from the control of those above and remain pure businessmen?"
Gu Mingxia had considered all of these things, but she couldn't worry about them now. She just wanted to deal with things here as soon as possible, and then choose a quiet city to rest and wait for the baby to be born.
"I was just asking. Of course, if you've already made up your mind, I will definitely support you to the end."
Song Jia shook the papers in his hand, put a few items into his inner pocket, then started the car and took Gu Mingxia back to the Xiao family's villa.
Sitting on the sofa, Gu Mingxia looked at the iPad in her hand and began to consider buying a villa of her own.
Although she owns many properties, she doesn't actually own a single one in Xiangcheng. With her relationship with Xiao Yan so strained lately, Gu Mingxia feels it's necessary to move out and cool off.
"Xiaxia, do you think any of these wedding dresses are pretty?"
Liu Yan ran in excitedly, holding a picture book. Of course, as a qualified boyfriend and husband, Zheng Liu naturally followed her.
"It's very nice, especially this knee-length wedding dress. It looks sweet and refreshing. If you wore it..." Gu Mingxia flipped through the catalog, tilted her head to look at Liu Yan for a while, and then smiled leisurely. "It should look very good on you too. Even without makeup, you still look quite fresh and goddess-like."
"But I've already chosen three wedding dresses, and I really like all of them. I'm so conflicted."
Liu Yan looked heartbroken. She finally realized that the saying "a woman's wardrobe can never have too many clothes" was indeed true. Not to mention clothes, she already had a lot of wedding dresses, suits and shoes prepared for her wedding, but she still couldn't help but want to buy the ones she liked.
"Liu Yan, if you like them, buy them all. You can just wear them for me when you're not in a hurry."
"Really? You're really going to let me buy them all?"
Liu Yan ran to Zheng Liu's side and immediately took his arm. Zheng Liu looked at her with great affection, reached out and ruffled her slightly messy long hair, and waved his hand generously and willfully.
"Of course. I'll buy everything my wife sets her sights on."
"Zheng Liu, you're so kind."
Liu Yan stood on tiptoe and gave him a quick kiss on the face, then let go and ran to Gu Mingxia's side. She excitedly started choosing a wedding dress and suit. Gu Mingxia shook her head helplessly. When she looked up, she saw Zheng Liu looking at Liu Yan with a doting and cherishing gaze. Just that one look made Gu Mingxia understand that Liu Yan's choice this time was absolutely correct, and the man in front of her was her haven for life.
Song Jia acted swiftly; within just one night, all the mainstream media, online media, and even some independent media in Xiangcheng were reporting on Director Ye's affairs.
Each report meticulously documented Director Ye's actions over the years, from his obsequious marriage to Mrs. Ye for career advancement to his extortion of bribes by those around him. If he couldn't get money, he would demand women; if he couldn't even get a beautiful woman, Director Ye would go to great lengths to retaliate against that person.
Bai Zixuan sat in the CEO's office, staring at the pile of magazines on his desk and the jumbled websites running on his computer. The reports on them irritated him greatly. The articles about Director Ye soliciting and accepting bribes made Bai Zixuan feel that he too would soon be taken away to cooperate with an investigation.
None of these are important. The most important thing is that his company is about to go under, and there are still a lot of people waiting for demolition compensation, project funds, and workers' wages for the old city renovation project. All of these require a lot of money to support them, but Bai Zixuan is already at his wit's end. Director Ye was arrested, and the old city renovation project that he planned and was in charge of was naturally blocked by the higher-ups.
Bai Zixuan had never regretted it as much as he did now. He had divorced his wife and tried to please Director Ye and Huo Jialingling in order to get the old city renovation project. Now he hadn't earned a penny and had even lost his entire fortune. Thinking of this, Bai Zixuan picked up the phone on the table and slammed it hard against the wall opposite.
"If I find out who reported Director Ye, I will make sure they get what's coming to them!"
After saying those words harshly, Bai Zixuan slumped into a chair, feeling utterly helpless. He was almost penniless; what could he possibly use to make others suffer?
Dejected and helpless, Bai Zixuan held his head in his hands, his heart filled with endless regret, but there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Just then, his phone rang. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Bai Zixuan didn't want to answer, but after thinking about it, he answered anyway.
"Hello."
"Bai Zixuan, are you satisfied with the current situation? If not, just tell me, and I promise I will do my best to make you satisfied."
Gu Mingxia's leisurely voice came through the phone to Bai Zixuan's ears. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that everything that was happening was Gu Mingxia's doing. His face suddenly turned cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"You're the one who reported Director Ye, aren't you? And you're the one who leaked all those things that's been circulating online these past few days?"
"Since you already know, why ask when you already know? Besides, I never intended to hide these things from anyone! If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around. I openly signed Gu Mingxia's name on all those whistleblower materials!"
"Do you... know that doing this will ruin me?"
"Of course, if you don't know, wouldn't all this work be a waste of time? Do you think research doesn't cost money?"
Bai Zixuan's expression grew even colder, and after a long while, he uttered a hateful sentence.
"Fine, Gu Mingxia, you've got it this time! You better beg never to run into me again! Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead."
"Is that so? Then I'll see what other tricks President Bai has up his sleeve to make me wish I were dead."
