After Bai Lian finished speaking, she leisurely left with her followers. Bai Qingzhi noticed out of the corner of her eye that the two people's phones were indeed pointing in her direction, and she took out her phone after a moment's thought.
"Sister, I just found out that the reason why my eldest brother was framed was actually Second Uncle's doing!"
Bai Qinghuai was framed recently, and some scandals were exposed. Although they were eventually found to be false, they still had a great impact on his image.
At the time, this incident caused a great uproar, and everyone in the media in City A knew about it.
Bai Qinghuan was puzzled by her sister's words. Everyone already knew about this, and naturally knew that her second uncle was the person behind it all.
But then I realized that Bai Qingzhi definitely wasn't saying this to me, so I went along with her and continued the conversation.
The two sisters didn't say much, but they revealed all the information they needed to. The two people in the seats behind them fiddled around for a bit and then hurriedly left.
The next day, a report suddenly appeared, with a huge headline that attracted attention.
Shocking! The Bai family's inner workings are so dark!
The report immediately went viral and became a trending topic, and soon a group of people started stirring things up. By the time Bai Lao Er received the news, it was too late to suppress it.
This also includes a video, which shows Bai Lian making a scathing sarcastic remark about Bai Qingzhi yesterday.
Bai Qingzhi is somewhat known to netizens because she appeared on a variety show once, and she left a deep impression on everyone in the show.
So when this news came out, everyone felt even more sorry for her situation and stepped forward to support her.
In no time, Bai Lian was so badly criticized that she became withdrawn, and even some people who knew her came forward to expose her misdeeds.
And with pictures and evidence, Bai Lian couldn't even try to deny it.
In addition, Bai Qingze openly expressed his dissatisfaction on his account, his words full of heartache for his younger sister and older brother.
The old man didn't know much about what was happening online, but his subconscious told him that things weren't going well. He called Bai Lao Er to his side, scolded him, and then told him to deal with it quickly.
At this moment, Bai Lao Er wished he could strangle his troublesome daughter, but the most important thing now was to remove the trending topic.
They spent a lot of money to find a popular celebrity to trend on social media and then spent even more money to hire a large number of online trolls to whitewash the situation, finally managing to suppress the trending topic down to the twenties.
But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, another report came out.
The Bai family may be changing hands. What is the purpose of Old Master Bai's return?
The analysis above is very logical, and there is even a person who claims to be a staff member of the Bai family who revealed that the old man was unhappy with the Bai family members when he first returned.
Along with the leaked information came a photo showing everyone kneeling in front of the old house that day.
Does he think he's the emperor? Everyone has to kneel down to greet him when he comes home?
Indeed, the lives of the wealthy are beyond the reach of ordinary people like us.
Am I the only one who noticed that there's a woman standing next to the old man? Judging from their posture, their relationship is definitely not simple!
Yes, I have met the old lady of the Bai family; she's the one standing opposite him.
Next, people began to dig into the old man's romantic history, and within half an hour, everything was exposed.
Some clever people even deduced his true purpose for returning.
The Bai family is a large charitable conglomerate in City A. Every year, they donate a lot of money to charity, and Mr. Bai also personally sponsors many sick and dropout children.
In contrast to Bai Lao Er's actions, people naturally began to feel indignant on behalf of Bai's father.
The situation escalated rapidly, and by noon, the trending topic had far surpassed the second most popular one.
As a result, Bai's shares fluctuated and showed a gradual downward trend.
The old man gritted his teeth and bought back the stocks that the retail investors were selling. By evening, the stock price had actually increased by 0.5%!
Bai's shares also plummeted to their daily limit, with conservative estimates suggesting losses of over 10 billion yuan.
As night fell, the old man refused his second son's request to visit and locked himself in the study of the old house, sitting there blankly.
He had been intelligent his whole life, but for the first time, he began to doubt whether he had made a mistake this time.
Originally, Bai's father had managed the Bai family business very well, but due to his selfishness, he lost so much in just one day.
Having spent his entire life in the business world, the old man naturally wouldn't believe that what happened online today was a coincidence. It seems that his eldest son and his group had been preparing for this all along, just waiting for him to fall into their trap.
As he was deep in thought, the door was suddenly opened. He initially thought it was his second aunt, so without turning around, he said:
"No need for a late-night snack, you should get some rest."
But there was no reply. The old man realized something was wrong and turned around, only to see his wife, who had struggled alongside him for decades, standing opposite him.
The study was bathed in warm yellow light, which shone on his wife's face and her gray hair.
Before they knew it, they had all grown old.
"It's not good for you to eat late-night snacks all the time as you get older," the old lady said calmly as she walked up to the old man.
"I know you're wary of me, but honestly, why can't you treat everyone the same?" The old lady continued speaking without waiting for the old man to speak.
After saying that, she stopped looking at him and turned her gaze to the dark night sky outside the window.
"I remember when our eldest son was young, you often accompanied him to study and play games. When he was in his adolescence and had his first relationship, you talked with him late into the night. Even when he first took over the company, you stood behind him without any regrets." The old lady's tone was filled with nostalgia.
"When exactly did you start to change your opinion of your eldest son, and no longer see him as your most beloved son?"
As the old man listened to his wife's words, he couldn't help but recall the events, and then frowned in confusion. "Yes? When did it start?"
"You expect me to treat everyone equally, but why haven't you done that yourself? The eldest is your own son, but didn't the second and third sons also grow up by your side?" the old man retorted.
The old lady smiled upon hearing her husband's question, and then asked in return:
"If I can't treat everyone the same, then may I ask how the company under the second brother's name came about, and who handles the third brother's external affairs?"
Without her tacit approval, not only the company, but even the two of them probably wouldn't have survived for long.
"You still don't understand? Those two are simply not the kind of people who can help the Bai family thrive!" After saying that, the old lady shook her head and left without saying anything more.
The study fell silent as the old man's thoughts drifted away.
"Old Bai, was that my sister just now?" At this moment, Second Aunt rushed in and asked in a panic.
She had just been sent away, and when she came to her senses, she saw the old lady walk out, a mocking smile on her face.
Second Aunt knew in her heart that the old man still had some feelings for the old lady, and she was suddenly frightened.
