Chapter 125 Bai Chumeng's Past
The old lady continued talking to herself.
“I like you very much. I happen to not have any children. If you become my child, I will teach you all the experience I have in this life.”
"You can move in with me then, and I'll give you everything I have."
Tu Yao: ? ? ?
"Uh...please calm down first."
The other side fell silent.
Tu Yao carefully chose her words before speaking: "...It's like this, I already have many homes. I have a home in Crane Village, and now I also have a home in Yanjing."
She paused for a moment: "...Although none of them can be considered my real family."
Neither the former dean's grandmother, nor the current Luo Ma, Ding Ba, Da Pang, San Shen's grandmother, Tu Chaoxi, Nan Ke, nor Lin Yue are her true relatives.
"But in my heart they are all my family."
After a moment of silence, Madam Jiang pleaded, "Can't there be one more?"
Tu Yao said with a serious expression, "It's not possible right now."
Madam Jiang: When can it be done? Tell me.
Tu Yao: ...
After hanging up the phone, Tu Yao opened the practice questions and silently began working on them.
I did half of it, but then I couldn't finish, so I put down my pen.
He tapped his head.
"Little father, the idiot I saw that day was Bai Chumeng, wasn't she?"
110: [Yes.]
Tu Yao composed herself.
...Then she is really smart.
For ten years, she could use her gentle and understanding demeanor to sow discord between Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai.
They could impersonate fans and infiltrate Tu Chaoxi's circle to set up a surprise attack on her.
You can act pitiful and foolish in front of her, then quickly give up after failing, immediately creating a massive upheaval that disregards life.
In the end, he managed to push Wei Tai out as a scapegoat while he himself escaped unscathed.
She seems to have a thousand different appearances and a thousand different ways of doing things.
110: [Are you scared?]
Tu Yao shook her head: "I think she's more scared."
Otherwise, they wouldn't have traveled all the way from the port city.
Tu Yao: "Little Daddy, I'm thinking, just like I need the luck points of several older brothers to keep the progress bar running, what about Bai Chumeng? What is her luck point used for?"
It all seems to have started ten years ago.
“My brother checked, and the Bai family was almost bankrupt ten years ago, but then they suddenly recovered.”
"Then can I guess that her luck is used to maintain the existence of the Bai family? And the Bai family is her weakness?"
That's why I'm just like her, so afraid of losing my luck points?
As Tu Yao spoke, her eyes lit up.
"If Madam Jiang were to make a show of force and prepare to deal with the Wei family, wouldn't that be like cutting off one of the Bai family's arms?"
"Am I also using someone else to do my dirty work?"
110 remained silent.
Its silly daughter... seems to be completely unafraid.
Its mind is so sharp that it becomes silent.
...
At the Jiang family home, Madam Jiang hung up the phone with a look of regret.
"It's not possible now. Once they really acknowledge each other as relatives, it will be even harder to win the competition."
The butler standing nearby: ...
"Madam, perhaps we should put aside the matter of snatching the child for now. What are your plans for dealing with the Wei family's situation?"
"And that...Miss Bai?"
It's not difficult to investigate the concert. In Beijing, if the old lady really wanted to find someone, there was no one she couldn't find.
That Mrs. Wei was also too clumsy in her work and didn't know how to clean up the mess.
Interestingly, there was also a seemingly unassuming Miss Bai by Wei Tai's side.
The old lady's smile slowly faded.
"The Bai family's daughter is intelligent, but too scheming. I had heard about her years ago."
However, the inland areas and the port city are ultimately two relatively independent economic environments without much complex entanglement, so she didn't bother to find out more about them.
The butler said with a serious expression, "That young lady is a bit too ruthless. She failed to get her way with her idol a while ago, so she smeared Xiao Mao's brother with all sorts of scandals."
"Now, because they failed to get those young masters of the Wei family into Mr. Cormier's fold, they dare to act so brazenly."
Madam Jiang composed herself, and after a long while, said softly, "...I always felt that it wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface."
The butler was taken aback and asked again, "Madam, so what are your plans to do?"
"Didn't you hear what Xiao Mao said?"
The old lady took a sip of tea and said casually, "Since she dares to push that Mrs. Wei out as a shield to take all the blame, then so be it."
"The Wei family was already in a precarious situation due to Xu Feng's loss of power and the fake charity incident. Let's add fuel to the fire."
Butler: "Understood."
Thinking of something, he continued, "But the Wei family isn't all fools. Once they realized it, that Miss Bai was the mastermind..."
The old lady laughed: "What's the use of realizing it now? The Wei family is too busy taking care of themselves to do anything but rely on the Bai family and accept their bad luck."
Butler: "It seems that Miss Bai and the Bai family have suffered no losses."
"You said it yourself, it looks like it."
The old lady shook her head: "...Still young, only thinking about escaping unscathed, without considering the consequences."
The Bai and Wei families were originally products of a period of time when they rose to prominence by taking advantage of the situation. The Wei family was like an arm to the Bai family.
Now that one is useless, the remaining one can't hold up the whole tree alone.
From a broader perspective, Bai Chumeng made a mistake in this step.
Madam Jiang put down her teacup and concluded, "Xiao Mao still needs to be a little smarter."
The result was clear in just one sentence.
"It would be a real shame not to nurture a child like this."
housekeeper:……
...
The next morning, Mrs. Wei rushed over in a hurry with the newspaper.
"Chu Meng, Chu Meng! How dare the Jiang family!"
"They actually dared to publish such a huge scandal in the newspaper!"
The article in the social section of the daily newspaper directly named Wei Tai, saying that he instigated band members to cause a stage accident.
The concert had just ended, and the hype didn't need any promotion; it went straight to the top.
Wei Tai's phone has been ringing off the hook with calls from Wei family members questioning her.
The Chiang family's roots are in Beijing, but if they really wanted to, they might be able to extend their reach to Hong Kong.
This is tantamount to declaring war on the Wei family!
"Chu Meng, you have to think of something! Wasn't this your idea?"
"You said you wanted to teach Cormier a lesson, you said..."
Bai Chumeng, dressed in a white dress, was watering flowers by the window when she heard this and immediately interrupted with a smile:
"But why should I teach him a lesson?"
"It's because Cormier looks down on your son and nephew, and I want to stand up for you, Aunt!"
Wei Tai stared blankly at the girl in front of him, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"What...what do you mean?! You're trying to pin all the blame on me?!"
Bai Chumeng turned around and looked coldly at the woman in front of her. How could her uncle have married such a foolish woman?
She smoothed Wei Tai's messy hair and continued gently, "Aunt, don't say such unpleasant things."
"This matter has nothing to do with me in the first place."
"you……"
Bai Chumeng's smile faded, her tone a mix of a reminder and a threat: "It has nothing to do with me, that's why I came to save you. Otherwise, who can you rely on? Your uncle?"
"But I guess, after you've caused trouble twice in a row, the Wei family's biggest wish right now is to cut ties with you."
"Moreover, the Jiang family will never let the Wei family go. Even if they wanted to save them, they couldn't."
Wei Tai's face turned deathly pale instantly.
The next second, there was a rapid knocking at the entrance.
"Open the door, police!"
Wei Tai was completely limp.
Bai Chumeng helped her up and whispered in her ear, "So remember, Aunt, this has nothing to do with me, and nothing to do with the Bai family."
"Otherwise, there really won't be anyone to save you."
Wei Tai's voice trembled: "...But...but if the Wei family falls, won't the Bai family fall too?!"
...
As soon as Wei Tai left, Bai Chumeng's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the sofa, murmuring:
"The Bai family? The Bai family will never fall."
Even if it falls over, she will pick it up again.
Ten years ago, she was fifteen years old and inconspicuous among the many grandchildren of the Bai family. She only got her own private butler at the age of fifteen.
But when the butler arrived, he told her that the Bai family's fortunes had run out, and her life trajectory would change from that of a noble lady to that of an impoverished ordinary person.
She didn't believe it.
However, in less than half a month, the new port policy directly dragged down hundreds of cargo ships, putting the Bai family in dire straits.
She's really going to become a destitute person.
She ran to ask Uncle Tiandao what to do, and this seemingly honest man immediately and generously pointed her in the right direction.
She saved Xu Feng.
Sure enough, the crisis for the Bai family was immediately resolved.
And she, too, rose from an insignificant grandchild of the Bai family to a meritorious figure.
Her grandfather gave her shares, her father gave her jewelry, and all her siblings looked at her with envy.
At that moment, Bai Chumeng understood that as long as the Bai family was still around, she would never become an ordinary person living in poverty!
But then, Uncle Tiandao told her that luck can be lost.
She exclaimed anxiously, "What should we do?!"
Uncle Tiandao was like a guiding light, smiling as he told her:
"Since our luck has been lost, let's steal someone else's luck."
But how do you steal someone else's luck?
— Disrupt their original life trajectories and plunge them into endless predicaments.
