The two of them talked on the phone for a few minutes before finally hanging up amidst the heart-wrenching pain of the conversation.
Just as she was about to leave the Bai family, she was blocked by several people.
She recognized them; these men were the Bai family's bodyguards.
During the struggle, Wenrou was taken back, only to find an unexpected person in the study.
The living Bai Qingzhi.
"You're not dead?" the gentle voice asked sharply.
Bai Qingzhi smiled mischievously, and then answered:
"If I don't die, how can I find out who your father is?"
Wenrou now understood that these people probably knew her identity all along, and were just playing along with her.
She had noticed some clues last time, but after those useless people said it was safe during their inspection, she completely forgot about it.
Now that she'd been exposed, Wenrou simply stopped hiding her true colors.
Seeing the intense hatred blazing in Bai Qingzhi's eyes, Wenrou would probably have rushed forward and bitten her to death long ago if there hadn't been two people holding her down.
"You hate me so much because of Liu Chenghan?" Bai Qingzhi asked curiously.
"Don't mention him! It's an insult to say his name out of your mouth!" Wenrou shouted, her eyes red.
Bai Qinghuan stood aside, and upon hearing her words, she stepped forward without hesitation and slapped her.
"You're not even worthy to speak to my sister like that." Bai Qinghuan used all her strength at this moment, and her warm face quickly swelled up.
"Did you know that Liu Chenghan wanted to kill me?" Bai Qingzhi continued to press.
During the time she spent with Wenrou, she actually really liked her.
Even if she was acting, Bai Qingzhi liked it, and sometimes she even thought that if she weren't the one on the opposite side of her, they could really become friends.
Seemingly understanding the meaning behind Bai Qingzhi's expression, and considering her previous question, Wenrou suddenly smiled.
"Of course he's right no matter what he does. If he wants to kill you, it must be because you have a reason to die." Hearing her words, Bai Qingzhi's lips twitched a few times.
There's no way around it; her thinking is different from normal people. No wonder she was able to be with Liu Chenghan.
He shrugged and stepped back, giving his place to Xiao Yuan.
"Now let's talk about Yu He." Xiao Yuan seemed quite calm.
But everyone present knew that this was just an illusion.
Wenrou had already made up her mind to fight to the death, so naturally she wouldn't say anything. On the contrary, she righteously demanded that everyone kill her if they had the ability.
Xiao Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile, and then he said:
"I'm just a businessman, and a law-abiding one at that. I would never do anything to kill people. However, I do have many ways to make life worse than death. If Miss Wen likes, I wouldn't mind letting you try them."
“You don’t need to do this,” Mr. Bai suddenly said.
Seeing the look in Xiao Yuan's eyes, Bai's father felt slightly embarrassed and looked away before continuing:
"I don't want my daughter to marry someone with a criminal record in the future."
Yu He has a powerful background; once Wenrou is found to be in trouble, there's an 80% chance they can find out who did it.
Even if Xiao Yuan manages to escape in the end, some trouble is inevitable.
He didn't want his daughter to worry.
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he moved closer.
"Dad, does that mean you agree?"
"Have you no shame! Who are you calling 'Dad'?!" Bai Qingze frowned and questioned loudly.
Xiao Yuan straightened up and looked over, scrutinizing the other person until they felt uneasy before speaking:
"Dad already said that, it's only a matter of time. The more I call Dad, the more I can hear him. Isn't that great?"
Bai Qingzhi stood aside, feeling helpless at Xiao Yuan's shameless behavior, but also a little embarrassed, so she could only lower her head and act like a quail.
"Don't you care about me at all?" Wenrou couldn't stand it anymore and asked loudly.
"Who cares about you besides Liu Chenghan?" Bai Qinghuan replied with a mocking expression.
After saying this, he made a sudden realization expression and continued:
"I'm sorry, I forgot. Liu Chenghan chose to commit suicide so as not to implicate you."
Bai Qinghuan understood the principle of "killing someone by destroying their spirit" very well.
Sure enough, the next second Wenrou went berserk.
Her body was held down by two bodyguards, and as Wenrou rushed forward, her face was slammed onto the table.
Bai Qinghuan approached, getting closer, and even a strange smile appeared on her face.
"Besides Liu Chenghan, is there no one else in this world you care about?"
Without waiting for a reply, he continued speaking:
"You chose to approach Qingzhi because she's naive and easy to fool, right? But I'm not her. Since you're unwilling to talk about it, I'll kill everyone you care about. If you really can't think of anyone you care about, then I'll include everyone you seem to have a good relationship with."
Wenrou stared intently into her eyes, and the next second she was certain that Bai Qinghuan wasn't lying.
Remembering what his father had investigated, Bai Qinghuan was no good person.
Wenrou's phone had been searched as soon as she entered, and Bai Qinghuan unlocked it in no time without even asking for the password.
Watching her click through each of her apps to check them, her gentle face darkened to the point of being almost dripping with anger.
Bai Qingzhi also came over, looking at the contents of her phone and exclaiming in amazement.
"How do you manage to reminisce about Liu Chenghan while still chatting so enthusiastically with other men?"
Bai Qingzhi seemed to ask the question casually, her big eyes filled with innocence.
Upon hearing her words, everyone around her looked at Wenrou with indescribable expressions, including the two bodyguards.
It's as if she's the biggest scumbag woman in the world.
“That’s right, besides that, every time I go to see you, she looks at me with eyes that seem to want to eat me alive!” Bai Qingze nodded in agreement.
Feeling the increasingly disdainful looks from those around her, Wenrou could no longer contain herself and roared:
"That's a mission! A mission! There's no man in the world who can compare to Cheng Han!"
"Oh...so your father is just in name only? Not some kind of godfather or anything?" Bai Qingzhi asked, pointing to a photo of the two of them.
The photo shows her and Yu He together, but their poses are very intimate, far exceeding the typical relationship between elders and juniors.
Judging from the age of the photos, they must be quite old.
The photo was hidden in an invisible software; if Bai Qinghuan hadn't been so skilled, she wouldn't have been able to find it at all.
Looking at the group photo on her phone, Wenrou's expression clearly faltered for a moment, then suddenly turned to hatred.
At this point, Bai Qinghuan finally cracked the previous chat history and found several friends who seemed to have a good relationship with Wenrou.
But before she could threaten these people, her gentle expression suddenly calmed down, and she slowly nodded in agreement.
She decided to tell the Bai family everything about Yu He, as a way of paying back the debts he had incurred in the past!
