Bai Family.
Yang Jingwei and Bai Ruoshu stood cautiously to the side.
A deep slap mark still remained on Yang Jingwei’s face.
Just as she came back to her senses, a teacup struck her forehead.
Blood immediately gushed out.
But she dared not cry out in pain, only silently enduring Bai Zhengxian’s fury.
"Didn’t you say there wouldn’t be any mistakes? I specifically invited a group of fat sheep, but instead, it backfired on us!"
"If it weren’t for me keeping the curator as a scapegoat, the entire Bai Family would be finished now!"
Bai Zhengxian wasn’t satisfied with just scolding, pointing at Yang Jingwei, whose half face was covered in blood.
"I told you long ago not to provoke Lin Zhiyi! But you insisted on flaunting!"
"I’m sorry."
Yang Jingwei clutched her hands tightly, lowering her head even further.
More like a subordinate than a wife.
Bai Zhengxian felt a headache hearing those three words.
"What use is there in saying sorry!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand again.
Bai Ruoshu immediately shielded Yang Jingwei: "Dad, if it weren’t for Mom’s timely warning, we wouldn’t have had time to escape, please forgive Mom this time."
Upon hearing this.
Bai Zhengxian lowered his hand, staring at Yang Jingwei.
"How did you know something was wrong?"
"In previous years, applicant resumes would come to me first. I’d select people based on client requirements. This time, in a hurry, the curator added people last minute and then submitted the resumes to me. I recognized Lin Zhiyi’s disguise and knew something was amiss."
Even though Lin Zhiyi was in makeup, her eyes and brows were instantly recognizable to Yang Jingwei.
Upon noticing the anomaly, she immediately called Bai Ruoshu.
She instructed them to leave the gallery before the police raid began.
As for the clients who didn’t make it out, they were all compromised by the Bai Family, and they could only acquiesce to the curator being the mastermind.
Now with the evidence dead, these people with strong backgrounds would at most be detained for a few days.
It’s just the overseas situation that’s a bit troublesome.
Yang Jingwei glanced at Bai Ruoshu from the corner of her eye.
Bai Ruoshu immediately stepped forward: "Dad, we haven’t lost yet. Don’t forget I have leverage over Gong Yao. As long as we find a way to ride out this PR crisis, our cooperation with the Gong Family remains unchanged."
Bai Zhengxian sat down, but his anger hadn’t subsided.
"Easier said than done. Now everyone is suspicious of us. If our bogus donations are exposed, we’ll have no foothold in Jing City."
"Then donate, make a big fuss about donating, that money the Bai Family can still afford."
Yang Jingwei casually wiped the bloodstains from her face with a handkerchief, then bowed to pour tea for Bai Zhengxian.
Bai Zhengxian took a sip from the tea, his gaze indifferent.
"Donating might quell the public opinion but regaining client trust isn’t easy."
"Actually, it’s not that difficult. There’s someone who can help us."
Yang Jingwei put down the handkerchief and opened her phone.
A photo of Fang Sisi appeared prominently on the screen.
"Online, they say all the evidence was deleted, so I guess it’s her."
"Fang Sisi?"
Bai Zhengxian rubbed his temples, finally recalling this person.
Yang Jingwei said: "Fang Sisi has been with Ruoshu for so long; how could I have no precautions against her? She’s prideful, more cunning than the average girl, so I had already saved her things elsewhere."
Bai Zhengxian glanced at the screen and immediately understood Yang Jingwei’s intent.
"You want to threaten her?"
"She’s under police protection; threats would backfire. I have a better way to regain our clients’ confidence."
Yang Jingwei whispered into Bai Zhengxian’s ear.
After listening, Bai Zhengxian laughed aloud and grabbed Yang Jingwei’s hand.
"Jingwei, you truly are my capable assistant. I was overly angry earlier; does it still hurt?"
"It doesn’t hurt. For this family, I don’t mind a bit of suffering."
Yang Jingwei patted his hand, smiling.
Bai Zhengxian nodded and ordered: "Chu Yin cannot stay. Get rid of her as soon as possible."
"Yes."
"Make sure it’s done smoothly."
