"You saved my life, what do you want? Money? Name your price, fifty million, one hundred million? One billion? As long as you can name it, I can give it to you, but you have to tell me where Bai Zhi is?"

Ou Zihan stared at her coldly, speaking methodically: it's a complete business model, money solves everything.
Because he had nothing to give her except money.
Gong Ru had already prepared a contingency plan. She was meticulous in her work and always had a thorough plan to achieve her goals.
She's a seasoned veteran in the business world; how could she be easily defeated? Bai Zhi's gone; if she still can't handle Ou Zihan, she'll be a coward. A shrewd glint flashed in her eyes as she calmly and collectedly spoke.
“You may find it hard to accept the truth if I tell you, but it is an undeniable fact, and I don’t want you to be kept in the dark for the rest of your life.”
“I wasn’t after the money. It was Bai Zhi who was after the money. Bai Zhi saw that you were dying, so she took a large sum of money from me and left, saying that she would give you to me.”
"Bai Zhi has been following you all along, and it's all just for money. If you don't believe me, you can check Bai Zhi's account. Didn't a large sum of money get deposited into it recently? Why are you still looking for her?"
She reached out and grabbed Ou Zihan's hand, but his hand was cold and had no warmth.
Ou Zihan looked at her hand, a look of extreme disgust flashing in his eyes, and he flung her hand away!
She was rejected harshly once again! Her hand fell limply, and her heart ached. Why did he hate her so much?
This Gong Ru actually portrayed him as a commodity sold by Bai Zhi? That's outrageous!
"You're talking nonsense! Even if I die, Bai Zhi will inherit the Ou family's wealth. Our Ou family's wealth is hundreds of times greater than yours. Why would Bai Zhi care about your little bit of money? If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll get rough with you!"
Ou Zihan absolutely refused to believe it! How could an outsider possibly sow discord between him and Bai Zhi, given their deep bond?
“Ou Zihan, there are some things you don’t know yet. Madam Ou was afraid that Bai Zhi would covet your family’s property, so before the marriage, she made Bai Zhi sign an agreement that Bai Zhi would not get a single penny of the Ou family’s property.”
"Bai Zhi originally planned to start with you after the marriage and destroy that contract. Unfortunately, you were about to die. When Bai Zhi saw that she was about to lose, she agreed to my request, took the money and left. You can verify this with Mrs. Ou. I am not lying."
Gong Ru patiently explained, as if to say, "You've been kept in the dark for years without even realizing it." She was putting on an act, and since she was going to do it perfectly, there couldn't be the slightest mistake or loophole.
"Is that so?" Ou Zihan narrowed his dark eyes, his deep and cold gaze trying to expose her lie. His voice was frighteningly cold, and his hostile gaze was as if he were looking at an enemy, not a savior. He did not believe her at all.
"Yes, I absolutely did not utter a single lie." Gong Ru looked at him with a murderous look on her face, her tone calm, and there was no trace of panic in her dark eyes.
Despite having weathered many storms, she had long since developed an indestructible body.
But who could blame her for loving the man in front of her? The fact that he didn't believe her at all still filled her with uncontrollable fear and guilt, and she clenched her fingers tightly under her skirt.
She, who is usually indomitable and confident in the business world, is feeling uncertain for the first time this time, unsure of her chances of winning.
Immediately afterwards, Ou Zihan, with a dark expression, stretched out his long arm and grabbed his phone from the bedside table. He first called Mo Nan and asked her to check Bai Zhi's account and get the results within ten minutes.
He then called Mrs. Ou, and the call was quickly answered.
"Mom, before I married Bai Zhi, did you sign an agreement with Bai Zhi requiring her to give up the Ou family's assets?" Ou Zihan asked coldly, her face grim as she held her phone in one hand.
When Gong Ru saw that Ou Zihan had personally called to confirm, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She was afraid that Madam Ou would go back on her word, and then she would be kicked out immediately. Although she sat calmly, her eyes were filled with panic.
"Yes." Mrs. Ou's single word sounded cold and indifferent to Ou Zihan's tone on the phone. In truth, Mrs. Ou was simply unable to answer, not heartless.
In fact, after that test, Madam Ou had already regarded Bai Zhi as her daughter-in-law, and she did not sign that kind of contract with Bai Zhi.
However, when Gong Ru said she would give her son the antidote, she made this condition beforehand.
Gong Ru wanted her to help her become a daughter-in-law in the Ou family and made her sign such an agreement, so she had no choice but to say it.
"Mom, when outsiders were stirring things up, I chose to stand by your side. I chose to trust my family. And what about you? You've disappointed me so much!" Ou Zihan looked dejected, a hint of sorrow flashing in his dark eyes.
He had thought that his mother had changed her attitude towards Bai Zhi, but he never expected her to treat Bai Zhi like an outsider! This chilled him to the bone.
Is it still family if we're always on guard? Is it really true that money can destroy trust between people?
Upon hearing this, Gong Ru felt a surge of secret joy. Madam Ou had finally kept her promise. With such conclusive evidence, Ou Zihan would surely hate Bai Zhi.
"Han'er, Mom..." Mrs. Ou's voice was low and sad, but she was speechless and unable to explain. Her slender white hands and well-defined fingers gripped the phone tightly.
The harmonious mother-son relationship that she had just had seemed to suddenly collapse again, causing her a dull ache in her heart. At this moment, she felt an even stronger hatred for Gong Ru, this ruthless woman!
"Mom, if you still consider me your son, then immediately break this contract, and I'll pretend this never happened. We can still be a harmonious family."
Ou Zihan's angry tone indicated that she had already made a decision for her mother, leaving no room for negotiation.
He believed that Bai Zhi was his family, and no one could isolate her, not even his mother.
Despite his anger over the matter, he would not pursue the matter if his mother had known to stop her from going too far.
Gong Ru's heart sank again. She stared painfully at Ou Zihan's face. Even so, Bai Zhi left for money, would Ou Zihan still protect Bai Zhi's position in the Ou family?
She felt as if she had come to the Ou family with a burning heart, only to find herself sinking into an endless swamp, slowly drowning her...
"Han'er, Bai Zhi has already left..." Madam Ou's voice was low and helpless. Having always been above hundreds of millions of people, this was the first time she had experienced the feeling of being unable to express her bitterness. This feeling was truly suffocating.
Besides, Bai Zhi has already left. Does Han'er still treat her like family and protect her like this?
Since her son and Bai Zhi were not meant to be, she thought he should find another partner and not hang himself on to the same person.
Even though she thought Bai Zhi was a good daughter-in-law, and she also thought Gong Ru was not the right person in the end, no matter what happened, things had come to this point, and what could she do?
The only thing we can do is let Han'er start his life anew. There are so many women in the world, why should we worry that our son won't be able to find someone he likes?
