Bai Minglei came to Bai Xiaoruo.
"I'm asking you, did you help Xuan Mingyu plot against our Bai family?"
Bai Xiaoruo chose to remain silent. Scheming? They actually suspected her of helping Xuan Mingyu scheme against them? Scheming about what? What would Xuan Mingyu do to the Bai family?
She knows absolutely nothing, so how is she supposed to answer?
"What do you mean by not saying anything? Are you admitting it? I'm your biological father, and you're actually helping outsiders scheme against me, Bai Xiaoruo. I've wasted these eighteen years of raising you!"
Father?
Ah, Bai Xiaoruo would rather not have a father like that, and rather be an orphan.
Is this how a father lets his own daughter be tied up and questioned?
"I don't understand what you're saying. If I said I didn't do anything, would you believe me?" Bai Xiaoruo turned her face away. She was truly heartbroken. Why did she have such a father and such a family?
"You'd be a fool to believe me! Bai Xiaoruo, don't think I don't know. If it weren't for you, how could we have been thrown out by Xian Mingyu for no reason that day? If you hadn't been stirring up trouble for Xian Mingyu all the time, how could our family's factory have been exposed for so many scandals? This is clearly your deliberate revenge, isn't it! You think our family has wronged you, you think you've suffered too many grievances, so you racked your brains to climb up to the Xian family and started targeting us, right?" Bai Xiaofu accused Bai Xiaoruo from the side, firmly believing that Bai Xiaoruo was absolutely involved in all of this.
"You can doubt me all you want, I didn't do anything. As for him... I think there must be some misunderstanding. I believe he wouldn't do such a thing."
"No? What makes you think you can guarantee that? We've been your family for over a decade, and that man is the outsider. Are you willing to side with him rather than help your family through this difficult time?" Song Meiyan's words, each one a firm statement, threw Bai Xiaoru's heart into disarray.
Yes, they were her family, but those so-called years of living together were the most painful and bitter years for Bai Xiaoruo. Being able to leave the Bai family and escape their control had been her wish for many years. Since marrying Xian Mingyu, even though he sometimes treated her badly and neglected her, he was still closer to her than this so-called family.
They tied her up like they were interrogating a criminal. Is this what family is all about?
"I have nothing more to say. You'd better let me go back now, and I promise I won't mention a single word about today to Xian Mingyu."
"Heh, what if we don't let you go? What can you do then? Bai Xiaoruo, are you threatening us now? If we really let you go back, wouldn't that be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains? Don't dream about it! We haven't settled our score yet, so don't think you can just leave so easily!"
Bai Xiaofu still grits her teeth when she thinks about the scene of Ji Ziqian and Bai Xiaoru embracing on the basketball court that day.
She was unwilling! Absolutely unwilling to let Bai Xiaoruo go like this!
"I can let you go back, but you must first promise to plead with Xian Mingyu to stop his false accusations against our factory. Also, ask him for 100 million yuan so that our company can resume operations smoothly."
The company's restart didn't actually require that much money, but why not take it? There are many places where money is needed anyway, and it's only natural for a son-in-law to give his father-in-law some money. So Bai Minglei's exorbitant demands were actually driven by multiple ulterior motives.
What? One hundred million?
Bai Xiaoruo's eyes widened.
How could she possibly ask for so much money?
No, even if Xian Mingyu really did give it to her, Bai Xiaoruo wouldn't reach out and ask.
She would never do such a thing!
“I will not ask him for money, nor will I plead with him. As long as the company is upright and honest, what is there to fear about being falsely accused? I will not agree to such conditions.”
"Husband, look at this! This is the good daughter you raised! Look at her, she's become an ingrate! She always helps outsiders and won't even help our family through this difficult time!" Song Meiyan said anxiously. If Bai Xiaoruo couldn't get the money, it wouldn't be long before the Bai Group faced bankruptcy or even collapse as factories were forced to close one after another. Wouldn't her so-called life as a wealthy wife be over?
"Bai Xiaoruo, I'm asking you one last time, are you going to help or not!" Bai Minglei was completely enraged by Bai Xiaoruo.
He had initially thought that marrying her off to the Xian family would give him a share of the profits, allow her to frequently look after the Bai family, and ideally, increase business dealings with the Xian family to expand the Bai Group's business. However, he never expected that Bai Xiaoruo would be so stubborn and refuse to obey his orders. Not only did she not bring any benefits to the Bai family, but she also turned her heart towards outsiders!
"No matter how many times you ask me, my answer will always be the same: I will not do anything for you. I believe him; he is definitely not that kind of person!" Bai Xiaoru believed that Xuan Mingyu would find this place soon and that he would definitely be able to rescue her.
She believed there must be some misunderstanding. Xian Mingyu would never target the Bai family, so how could she possibly ask him for money?
"Good, very good! Someone, throw her into the storeroom!"
Bai Minglei glared angrily at Bai Xiaoruo: "Keep being stubborn. In a few days, I'll notify the Xian family to come and collect the body!"
Two bodyguards lifted Bai Xiaoruo up and dragged her directly into the storage room at the far end of the first floor.
That place used to be her little room.
She was thrown to the ground in a disheveled state, like trash, and the bodyguards outside immediately closed the door and locked it with a heavy padlock.
