However, the matter did indeed fade away within a few days, simply because an even bigger piece of gossip emerged.
Xiao Yuan's illegitimate child exposed; the child's mother is surprisingly her!
The photo, which occupied a huge portion of the trending topics section, showed Xiao Yuan holding a child, with a woman whose face was blurred standing next to him.
The child's face was also completely covered up. The two stood very close together, with the woman resting her head on his shoulder.
Xiao Yuan also had a big smile on his face, and his hands were very skilled as he held the child.
This time, not only did Xiao's father come to question her, but even Bai Qingzhi's family members cautiously inquired about what was going on.
At this time, Bai Qingzhi was unaware that the matter was spreading like wildfire online. She had finished her date with Xiao Yuan very late the day before, and after washing up, she went to bed.
The report was released in the morning, before Bai Qingzhi had even gotten up.
In a daze, I heard my bedroom door slam shut, and then the soft bed sank in.
"Qingzhi!" Bai Qinghuan's voice came, instantly chasing away Bai Qingzhi's drowsiness.
She opened her eyes, still a little dazed, and Bai Qinghuan grabbed her shoulders and shook her vigorously.
"You still have the mind to sleep!" Bai Qinghuan held her phone in one hand and hugged her laptop with the other. Bai Qingzhi saw that it was the mysterious website she often visited.
At this moment, Bai's mother rushed over and pulled Bai Qinghuan down.
"You have to give her some time to react!" Bai's mother said in a low voice, but Bai Qingzhi still heard her clearly.
"What's there to react to! That bastard did such a thing, if we don't let Qingzhi see his true colors, that would be harming her!" Bai Qinghuan replied angrily.
“Qingzhi is timid, you’ll scare her.” Bai’s mother was also stubborn, and the two engaged in a heated debate.
Bai Qingzhi watched the back-and-forth exchange between the two and was genuinely curious about what had happened.
"Mom, I'm very strong now." Unable to bear watching their discussion any longer, Bai Qingzhi spoke softly.
The two stopped talking abruptly, exchanged a glance, and this time it was Bai's mother who stepped forward and spoke.
"Qingzhi, don't be angry after you finish reading it. This matter may not be true." Bai's mother spoke cautiously.
"Rumors are circulating that Xiao Yuan... actually has a child outside." Bai's mother's voice grew softer and softer, until the last two words were completely gone.
Bai Qingzhi felt a sudden dizziness, but not from fright.
Rather, she genuinely had no idea where such outrageous rumors had originated.
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Bai Qinghuan gritted her teeth and handed over the phone.
Then he plopped down on the bed and started typing furiously on the computer.
"Luckily, I had a backup plan. If that bastard dares to do something like this, he can just wait for the market value to evaporate!"
Back when Xiao Yuan and Bai Qingzhi were together, Bai Qinghuan secretly planted a virus on all the computers in the other company.
At the time, all I was thinking was that if Xiao Yuan wronged my sister, I would make him cry and beg for forgiveness.
I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
Bai Qingzhi took the phone, looked at the photos, and then frowned.
"Qingzhi, perhaps this is a child of his family..."
"Isn't this me?" Bai Qingzhi interrupted her mother, speaking in surprise.
She would never forget that this was when they went to the resort, and the baby wanted to take a picture with her.
At this point, she even pulled out a photo from her phone, which was this one.
White Mother blinked rapidly, then burst into a scream.
Bai Qinghuan was about to press the button to activate the virus when she was interrupted by her mother's scream.
"You have a child? When? How come I didn't know? Where is he? How old is he? Whose child is he?"
A barrage of questions came crashing down on her, leaving Bai Qingzhi feeling even more bewildered.
Bai Qinghuan also stopped, blinking rapidly before she realized what was happening.
"Impossible! Qingzhi is right under our noses every day, it's impossible that we wouldn't know she's pregnant."
The mother nodded immediately. That's right, a pregnant belly will grow bigger, and her daughter has always been very thin.
She seemed to have thought of something soon, her eyes widened, and she asked another shocking question.
"Did you become a surrogate mother? Qingzhi! How could you be so foolish!"
Bai Qingzhi also came to her senses at this moment, and seeing her mother's increasingly scattered thoughts, she hurriedly interrupted her.
"No! This child is not mine, nor is it Xiao Yuan's. It's a very cute little baby we met while we were traveling. She wanted to take a picture with us, so we took the photo."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
"I see..." Mother Bai murmured.
Bai Qinghuan also silently put down her computer.
At that moment, she was incredibly grateful for the scream her mother had just let out.
The mother and her two daughters inside the house finally figured out what had happened, but the men of the Bai family knew nothing at this point.
They sat in the study with gloomy expressions, a huge photo of Xiao Yuan, the other two on the computer on the table.
Of course, the women's and children's faces were still blurred.
The entire study was filled with the atmosphere of an impending storm.
Finally, Bai Qingyu couldn't take it anymore and slammed her fist on the table.
"I'm going to break one of his legs right now! No, I'll break his third leg!" Bai Qingyu got up and was about to leave.
As a result, Bai Qinghuai stopped him.
"Big brother, he's bullying Qingzhi like this!" Bai Qingyu thought his older brother was going to stop him.
"Qingyu! Isn't it inappropriate to do this kind of thing in broad daylight? Besides, the Xiao family's security is quite good. I'm afraid you'll be beaten out before you even make a move." Bai Qinghuai's voice showed no obvious emotional fluctuation.
But Bai Qingyu understood.
That's right, a dark and stormy night is the perfect time for murder.
Bai Qingze leaned back on the sofa, then spoke casually:
"Xiao family's company, Zhi'ai Entertainment, is already among the top earners in the industry, and it's going public next month. So it's not unusual for something to happen to Zhi'ai's artists at this time, right?"
He works in the entertainment industry and has a wide network of connections, including many paparazzi friends.
The entertainment industry is a big melting pot; no one who stays in it can be completely clean. It all depends on whether you want to investigate.
If one or two of the company's artists get into trouble, it's fine, but if too many do, it will directly affect the company's equity and revenue, and may even lead to an investigation by higher authorities. In addition, with Zhiai Entertainment about to go public, if Bai Qingze really does something, he will be dealt a heavy blow.
“Our company has been doing quite well lately. The industries we’ve partnered with the Xiao family in have all made money, and we’ve made a lot of progress in the same sectors. So I think it’s normal to find a few more partners. This shouldn’t be considered stealing business from the Xiao family, right?” Bai Qinghuai fiddled with his phone, seemingly talking to himself.
“Since that’s the case, then it’s not good for me, as the old father, to keep an eye on things. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Lao Xiao. It would be nice to get together when we have some free time.”
