Chapter 574: Chapter 574: I Am Your Sister (29)

The Bai family encountered trouble, and because there was a reference case for such trouble, everyone naturally connected the two incidents.

When the Shen Corporation faced trouble, did the Bai family do something behind the scenes?

Upon further investigation into the recent affairs of the Bai family, people quickly realized there were clues; the Bai family indeed had been involved in the issues of Shen Corporation.

So everyone secretly thought that it was Shen Ming’s doing.

After all, Shen Ming now had both the ability and reason to do it.

Shen Ming completely denied this.

He had been busy with another major project recently and had no time to mess with the insignificant Bai family.

Shen Ming didn’t say it like that, but that was the gist.

Of course, whether people believed that was up to them.

Publicly, Shen Ming had cleared himself of this matter.

The Bai family’s situation was precarious.

Song Jing really wanted to help Bai Yuyao.

But didn’t he consider that he had a mother who thought of breaking off an engagement as soon as Shen’s corporation collapsed? How could he be allowed to have any entanglement with the Bai family at such a time?

But it seemed that Song Jing genuinely loved Bai Yuyao.

Regardless of his mother’s opposition, he convinced Mr. Song and dragged the entire Song Family into the fray.

However, it wasn’t long before Mr. Song regretted his decision, swiftly arranging an engagement for Song Jing with a wealthy heiress.

Bai Yuyao never expected such an outcome.

“Jing…” Bai Yuyao found Song Jing, tears streaming down her face like rain on pear blossoms. “Why?”

She could understand if he didn’t help her family in their current situation, but why did he have to get engaged to someone else?

“Yuyao,” Song Jing opened his mouth, wanting to say something but couldn’t.

“Are your parents forcing you, aren’t they?” Bai Yuyao looked at him with hope: “Are they?”

“Yuyao, go back,” Song Jing withdrew his hand, as if he had something difficult to say.

“Jing, tell me, why do you want to get engaged to someone else? Didn’t you say that you wanted to be with me forever?”

Song Jing left without looking back.

He really had been forced.

Mr. Song made it very clear that if Song Jing didn’t agree to the engagement, not only would the Song family not help the Bai family, but they would also ensure the Bai family’s complete destruction, and he would lose his inheritance rights.

The Song family had more than one son…

Despite how much Bai Yuyao sought out Song Jing, she couldn’t bring him back to her.

Mother Song, who had previously been kind and pleasant to her, now became harsh.

The decline of the Bai family was faster than the Shen Corporation’s prolonged struggle of several months.

Father Bai was so overcome with rage that he had been staying in the hospital.

Disconsolate, Bai Yuyao kept vigil by her father’s side.

–

“Your father is in a good condition. If we are lucky, he should have a chance of waking up.”

Chuzheng glanced at the man in the hospital bed and nodded indifferently.

She went to pay the bills, signed the forms, and upon turning around, she saw someone rushing towards her.

Chuzheng stepped aside, and Bai Yuyao pushed a pregnant woman nearby.

The pregnant woman, encumbered by her condition, fell backward.

Chuzheng frowned and swiftly reached out to help the pregnant woman.

The pregnant woman was visibly shaken, looking pale as she turned to the one who pushed her: “What are you doing?”

Bai Yuyao was also startled: “I… I didn’t mean to push you.”

“Husband,” the pregnant woman suddenly called out.

“What happened?” The man came over and took the pregnant woman from Chuzheng’s hands, full of concern: “Is something wrong?”

“She suddenly pushed me,” the pregnant woman pointed at Bai Yuyao.

“I didn’t…” Surrounded by onlookers, Bai Yuyao became frantically anxious.

“How can young girls have such malicious thoughts these days?”

“Even pushing a pregnant woman.”

“If something happened, that would mean two lives lost, it’s truly horrible.”

“I didn’t!” Bai Yuyao roared: “I didn’t mean to push her, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

The man flew into a rage upon hearing what the pregnant woman said, “You pushed her, you pushed her! How were you brought up at home? Apologize to my wife!”

Bai Yuyao: “…”

“I really didn’t mean to push her!” Bai Yuyao pointed at Chuzheng, “I was looking for her!! It was because she suddenly stepped aside that I bumped into you.”

All eyes instantly focused on Chuzheng.

“She was coming at me,” Chuzheng stated calmly, “It’s my fault that you got involved, I apologize.”

As Bai Yuyao charged towards her, she just instinctively dodged, never expecting Bai Yuyao’s self-control to be so poor that she couldn’t stop herself.

Moreover, this pregnant woman wasn’t behind her in the first place.

She hadn’t even noticed where the other party came from.

The pregnant woman seemed taken aback for a moment, then looked at Bai Yuyao again.

Leaning on her husband, her voice was weak, “No matter what, she pushed me. If it weren’t for you holding me, who knows what might have happened.”

The man looked between Chuzheng and Bai Yuyao a couple of times.

Although Bai Yuyao was targeting this girl, it was instinctive of her to dodge, so there wasn’t any fault on her part.

His wife just happened to be standing behind her, which was not at her request.

There was no fault to be found with Chuzheng in this situation.

Plus, the young girl had already apologized.

Looking menacing, the man turned to Bai Yuyao and said, “My wife didn’t get hurt this time, so I won’t hold it against you. Just apologize and that will be the end of it.”

“I…”

Why should I have to!

People around them started whispering to each other, Bai Yuyao’s eyes were bloodshot. She had always been the pampered princess, never having suffered such indignity.

In the end, she had no choice but to apologize bitterly.

The man snorted coldly, supporting the pregnant woman as they left, “I told you I was here to pay the bills, why didn’t you listen.”

“You’ve been working so hard to take care of Dad, I just wanted to help.”

“Don’t make things worse for me.”

“Did I make a mistake then?”

The onlookers slowly dispersed amidst their whispers, leaving Bai Yuyao flushed with shame. She glared fiercely at Chuzheng, “Shen Chuzheng, did you do that on purpose just now?”

“No.”

Chuzheng put away the document.

Just hearing those two words made Bai Yuyao feel as if she wanted to strangle the person opposite her.

She clearly did it on purpose!

She caused her to lose face in front of so many people.

“Was it you who meddled with my family’s affairs recently?”

“No.” How many issues does your family have, I wouldn’t even know which one you’re referring to?

“Who else could it be besides you? You climbed into your brother’s bed just to have him take revenge on me, didn’t you?” Bai Yuyao was somewhat out of control.

“I didn’t,” Chuzheng responded with detached aloofness, “Don’t slander me without evidence.”

Bai Yuyao: “Evidence? Do we need evidence? The whole world knows you did it!”

Do they even need evidence for that?

The development followed the same trajectory as that of Shen Corporation.

Chuzheng: “They don’t have evidence either, speculation cannot serve as evidence for conviction.”

Sure enough, it’s troublesome. It would’ve been easier to just get rid of it.

Bastard, this damn thing, doesn’t know how to take the host’s opinion into account.

[…]: Dare not, dare not.

Bai Yuyao probably felt half dead with anger because of Chuzheng, and it took her a long while to recover.

By the time she came to, there was no one in the hall.

Bai Yuyao didn’t know that the video of her pushing the pregnant woman had been posted online.

The video covered almost the entire incident, from sneaky filming to the end, and Chuzheng was also in it; the sequence of events was unedited.

Although Bai Yuyao was charging at Chuzheng, the fact that the latter dodged wasn’t wrong, and she even helped the pregnant woman up and apologized afterward, leaving no room for blame.

On the contrary, Bai Yuyao was seen in the video shirking responsibility, which caused the dissatisfaction of the onlookers who then came forward to criticize her.

Some people recognized who she was, and the already controversial Bai Family caught fire once again.
