"Bai Zijing, can you please stop this nonsense? Apologize to Jiang Hua right now!" Bai Qingchuan frowned deeply, his gaze towards Bai Zijing serious.
“Brother! I’m telling the truth! How can a poor girl like her marry Yiming! She’s not good enough for him at all, and I will not let her marry Yiming!” Bai Zijin snorted coldly, looking at the silent Jiang Hua standing to the side with a mocking expression.
"Shut up! Don't think I won't hit you just because you're my sister!" Bai Qingchuan's already dark face darkened even more when he saw his sister say such hurtful things.
"Brother! I'm your own sister, and you're siding with this woman!" Bai Zijing was extremely aggrieved. This woman had repeatedly stolen the important people in her life. Not only that, but now even her own brother was saying these things about her because of this woman.
"I'm sorry, Jiang Hua, please don't take my sister's words to heart." Bai Qingchuan looked at Jiang Hua with guilt.
"Qingchuan, please take me back." Jiang Hua rubbed her temples, looking at Gu Yiming with a weak expression. "I'm begging you again, please let me go back. I'm exhausted."
"No, I won't allow it. Don't worry, I'll handle this situation quickly." Gu Yiming frowned deeply, looking into her empty eyes, feeling extremely panicked.
"Gu Yiming, please stop being so domineering and selfish! Have you considered Jiang Hua's feelings?! You've already caused Jiang Hua a lot of harm just now by acting on your own, and the situation is now out of control. How much longer do you want Jiang Hua to stay here and be embarrassed?!" Bai Qingchuan really wanted to slap him.
"..." Gu Yiming's gaze was filled with deep sorrow, unable to express the apology he felt for her in words. Hearing Bai Qingchuan's words, he felt even more distressed when he looked at Jiang Hua.
The reporters below the stage swarmed towards them, taking photos and bombarding them with all sorts of tricky and sarcastic questions. Bai Qingchuan and Gu Yiming quickly stopped the group of reporters. Under their cover,
The next day, scandals involving Jiang Hua broke out one after another. She picked up today's newspaper, the headlines prominently featuring various unpleasant topics about her. Her eyes stung as she looked at them, and when she wiped them, they were filled with tears.
But life had to go on. When Jiang Hua went out to the supermarket to buy groceries, people passing by treated her like she was a plague carrier, keeping their distance and pointing at her. She completely ignored them and didn't care.
Passerby A: "Look at that woman, the newspapers are full of news about her. She's hooked up with two men, she's really a vixen. She does look quite like one, no wonder people talk about her."
She was selecting fresh fruit when someone nearby spoke to her loudly, as if deliberately doing so. The offensive words were forced into her ears. She clenched her teeth, feeling a surge of anger. Never in her life had she felt so humiliated, so thoroughly insulted!
"Exactly, exactly! Look at her, she still has the nerve to talk back here. Women these days really don't know any shame. A toad trying to eat swan meat, she really doesn't know her place! Hahaha..." Passerby B covered his face and laughed.
This was utterly intolerable! She had originally intended to keep it bottled up inside, but now her anger was burning fiercely. They thought she was a pushover just because she wasn't showing her teeth!
She put down the fruit and turned to walk back in their direction. The two women looked at her in surprise.
"Excuse me, don't you two have any parents who taught you not to talk behind people's backs?! My life is none of your business!" Jiang Hua glared at the two women fiercely, then returned to the fruit she wanted to pick and continued selecting fruit.
"You dared to do it but you won't tell anyone?" The two women were startled by her. Although they were still muttering, they were no longer as loud as before.
Jiang Hua prepared a lot of things and stayed at home, afraid to go out easily. On the other side, Gu Yiming, who knew about this news, spent a lot of money to try to suppress the scandal.
However, it didn't work very well. He was very anxious and wanted to continue spending money to suppress the rumors, but he found that his funds had been frozen by Li Hao.
Looking at the contents of the newspaper, Gu Yiming felt a splitting headache. He knew that Jiang Hua must be in a very bad mood right now. He wanted to go out and find her, but he found that the bodyguards outside the gate were guarding him and preventing him from leaving. He was locked in the house.
"Get out of my way!" Gu Yiming frowned.
"Young Master, the Master has instructed me not to let you out." The bodyguard reached out to stop him.
"Don't make things difficult for them. I will not allow you to see that woman again and disgrace the Li family!" Li Hao's cold voice came from behind Gu Yiming. He had seen his son trying to spend money to quell the rumors these past few days.
"Dad!" Gu Yiming frowned deeply, glaring angrily at Li Hao. He really didn't understand why his father disliked Jiang Hua so much, judging a person based solely on their different social status.
Meanwhile, after learning the news, Bai Zijing wanted to go to Gu Yiming's house to curry favor, but she didn't expect to be met with a bad attitude from him when she arrived. To her surprise, she was even kicked out.
She was disheveled and angry, so she went to a bar to drown her sorrows.
"Zijin, don't be angry. And don't drink so much alcohol anymore, it's bad for your health." Song Wei looked at Bai Zijin, who looked distressed, and felt a pang of heartache. He quickly tried to comfort her.
"Mind your own business." Bai Zijing angrily slapped away Song Wei's outstretched hand. Song Wei sighed helplessly and had no choice but to let her drink it. If the alcohol could really help her endure the pain, then let her drink her fill.
"Zijin?" Bai Zijin, who had drunk an unknown amount of alcohol, was already slumped drunkenly on the counter. Song Wei gently patted her back, but she didn't react. He had no choice but to take care of her and then take her home.
"What happened? Zijing, why are you so drunk!" Bai Qingchuan opened the door and saw Song Wei carrying Bai Zijing in. When he saw her flushed face, he knew what she had been up to. So he immediately scolded her loudly.
"Zijin was in a bad mood, that's why she went drinking. I hope you don't misunderstand," Song Wei explained immediately when he saw Bai Qingchuan's slightly annoyed expression.
