At noon, at the Bai Family in Shanghai. Bai Mengru lay on the bed, fuming.
When she called her best friend this morning, she thought that she would get a good explanation, but she didn't expect Xia Ze to stay the night. This made Bai Mengru even angrier. After getting up, she locked herself in her room and didn't want to go anywhere.
"Du, du!"
Someone knocked on the door.
"No appetite, I'm not eating!"
Bai Mengru replied subconsciously, thinking that the servant had called her for lunch.
"Mengru, open the door. We need to talk to you!”
It was Mother Bai, Zhou Peiping's voice that came from outside the door.
"Mom, I want to be alone. I don't want to see anyone!”
Bai Mengru still didn't get up. At this moment, she felt that it was best to be alone.
"Bang bang bang…"
The door was knocked violently again.
"Bai Mengru, open the door immediately!”
This voice belonged to her father, Bai Annan.
Bai Mengru was shocked. The two elders had come to look for her at the same time, and her father's tone was not friendly. It was not as simple as inviting her to dinner.
Did something happen?
Bai Mengru opened the door reluctantly.
Outside the door, Zhou Peiping's expression was a little strange, while Bai Annan's face was dark, as if he was questioning her.
"Damn it, what have you done!”
"Dad, what happened to me?"
Bai Mengru was confused.
Bai Annan did not say anything. Instead, he handed the phone to her and played a short gif video.
Bai Mengru and Xia Ze appeared in the video. The former said with a flushed face,""Xia Ze, I like you!"
Bai Mengru was shocked. Wasn't this the embarrassing thing I did at Zhiyan's birthday party last night? Why was it recorded and sent to my parents?
"At this point, are you still not going to admit it?”
Bai Annan was furious. He questioned sternly,"What is your relationship with Xia Ze?”
" What else could it be?" Bai Mengru quickly argued." Of course I hate him!"”
"Alright, you're so annoying that you even confessed to her!”
Bai Annan sneered." This happened last night, right? Someone took a photo of it and posted it on the group chat. It immediately fermented!" Do you know what others are saying now? You, Bai Mengru, have always supported Tang Zhiyan and said that women should have the freedom to marry, but now you're secretly poaching your best friend. On the surface, you're doing one thing, but behind the scenes, you're doing another. Some people even claim that the Bai family secretly instructed you to replace the Tang family and climb up the Xia family's high branch.”
"Mengru, you're too muddle-headed. Even if you like Xia Ze, you can't do this. It will affect the relationship between the Bai family and the Tang family.”
Zhou Peiping was also heartbroken.
No matter how much she doted on her daughter, she had to teach her a lesson after such a thing happened.
The two old men were misled by the gif video. Bai Mengru's face was red in the video, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. It looked like a young girl confessing her love.
In fact, she was embarrassed and angry at the time. In addition, she was afraid that others would hear her, so she deliberately lowered her voice. However, this short video did not have a beginning or end, and it was easy for outsiders to change the meaning.
"It's not like that. They misunderstood!”
Bai Mengru was anxious." There's a reason for this. I made a bet with Tang Ze and lost!"”
She told the two elders about the bet she made with Xia Ze.
After hearing this, although Bai Annan believed 80% of it, his expression did not turn from cloudy to clear. He was still very ugly and reprimanded loudly.
"Nonsense, this is nonsense. How old are you? Why are you still so childish? Even if you made a bet with Xia Ze, who would believe you if you explained it to others? Now, many people think that the Bai family has caused us to die when we saw that the marriage between the Xia and Tang families was not going well and asked you, Bai Mengru, to seduce Xia Ze!”
Bai Mengru was dumbfounded, and her face turned pale. This matter had actually been leaked and blown up. Not only would it be exposed, but it might even cause a conflict between the two families.
"I've told you a few times that you, an outsider, shouldn't get involved in the marriage between the Xia Family and the Tang Family, but you just didn't listen and insisted on helping Tang Zhiyan. Now, Tang Zhiyan and Xia Ze are together, but you're putting yourself and the Bai Family in danger!”
The more Bai Annan spoke, the angrier he became. He vented his anger on his wife.
"And you, Zhou Peiping, if you hadn't spoiled her since she was young, she wouldn't have been so lawless and didn't know the severity of her actions!”
Mother Bai immediately fell silent out of fear. In this family, Bai Annan was the absolute authority. She had never dared to be angry with her husband.
Moreover, he had indeed spoiled his daughter a little too much, causing her to be very willful when she grew up.
"Bai Mengru, from today onwards, you better stay at home and reflect on yourself. You are not allowed to go anywhere, or else I will break your legs!”
Bai Annan left with a dark expression. It would be a headache to deal with this matter!
Xia Ze was sitting in his office chair in Dawn Building with his legs crossed.
Needless to say, he was the one who secretly released the gif video in the industry. It quickly caused a huge reaction.
Bai Mengru, since you like to meddle in other people's business, you have to pay the price!
The iPhone on the table rang. Xia Ze smiled when he saw the number.
He wasn't surprised that Bai Mengru had called him. It would be strange if she didn't call him.
He picked up his phone and started scolding after picking up the call."Not bad, Bai Mengru, you're really something!”
Bai Mengru had intended to denounce him, but before she could say anything, Xia Ze made a counter-accusation. She was a little stunned.
"It's fine that you obstructed Zhiyan and me in the past, but now that Zhiyan has finally put down her prejudice against me and got together with me, you actually used such despicable means to sow discord between us. Bai Mengru, are you still human?”
Xia Ze was filled with righteous indignation. As the victim, he was the first to make a fuss.
This series of complaints had an immediate effect on Bai Mengru. She was completely stunned and doubted her life. Her combat strength immediately decreased by 200 points, and her aura weakened greatly.
she asked tentatively.
"Xia Ze, what did you say? You didn't expose that video?”
"I exposed it?"
Xia Ze snorted coldly.
"Use your pitifully stupid little brain to think about it. Zhiyan and I just officially established our relationship last night. What good will it do me to expose this video?”
"Make her angry? Misunderstanding that I'm having an affair with her best friend and even proposing to break up? I'm not a fool!"
"But you're different. You have every reason to do this because you've always been against me being with Zhiyan. However, I never thought that you would be such a despicable woman!”
Bai Mengru thought that Xia Ze's words did make some sense, and her original intention to denounce him became a powerless excuse.
"I didn't do it. I was even scolded by my father for this!”
