"Do we really have no choice?" Xiaowei 's mother asked softly, her voice full of powerlessness.
"Maybe this is the only thing we can do, to protect Xiaowei and to give her a quiet environment." The father's answer was equally heavy.
He knew very well that this compromise might put a huge psychological burden on them, but they were powerless in the face of evil forces.
They looked at each other, tears glistening in both of their eyes.
"How should we explain all this to Xiaowei?" The mother's voice was tearful. Her heart seemed to be tightly gripped and she was afraid of the upcoming conversation.
“We don’t tell her the specifics, we just say we fixed the problem and everything will be fine.”
The father tried to sound firm, even though he himself was agonizing over the decision.
After making the decision, the two walked out of the room and faced the Bai family again.
"We...we decided to accept the money."
His voice was low,
Bai Haoyang paced back and forth, frowning, anger boiling in his chest, and finally he could no longer hold it back:"This Tong Xiaoge is really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! How dare he make things so serious! Does this little lawyer really think he can bring down our Bai family?"Bai Youwei sat on the sofa, her posture elegant and dignified, but her fingers were tightly clenched around her Chanel bag.She sneered, her voice tinged with coldness, "She is just trying to use this opportunity to gain sympathy and portray herself as a righteous person. Those who sympathize with her are just fools who have been bewitched by her."She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the flowers in the garden swaying in the breeze, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if those swaying flowers had also become her enemies."These trending searches have brought us a lot of pressure. Public opinion is no longer under our control." Her tone sounded a li
But her voice was gradually suppressed by the weight of the evidence.The air in the courtroom seemed to freeze. Everyone's eyes were focused on the evidence presented by Tong Xiaoge. The Bai family's lies and disguises began to disintegrate one by one under the sunlight.As the trial progressed, the public gradually saw the truth, and discussions on social media began to tend to support Tong Xiaoge and demand severe punishment for the Bai family.As the case progressed, the live broadcast screen continuously scrolled with comments from netizens. These words were like whispers from the audience, full of anger, sympathy, or support for justice."Looking at Bai Haoyang's expression, I know that he feels guilty!""Lawyer Tong is amazing. Every piece of evidence is as solid as a rock!""I sincerely hope that Xiao Wei can get a fair result this time. I support Tong Xiaoge!"Comments on the screen rolled like a tide, and netizens' emotions
As the meeting continued, the Bai family's top brass began to discuss various strategies for resolving the issue through legal and financial means.Each proposal is carefully analyzed to try to find the best balance between risks and opportunities.A few days later, in the Bai family's luxurious reception room, the atmosphere was solemn.Various people were sitting around the long table, and everyone's face was full of worry.Bai Zhengqing sat at the head of the table, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, his voice low:"We have received news that the bail fee will be 30 million, which is a considerable amount considering the company's current cash flow."Bai Youwei beside him clenched her hands, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "But we can't let my brother suffer in prison. No matter what the price, we must let him out."An elderly financial advisor frowned, with a worried tone, "However, this will greatly affect our
"From now on, if you make trouble, you have to solve it yourself. Don't expect me to clean up your mess again."Bai Haoyang's face changed. This was a situation he had never encountered before.He turned around and looked at his parents, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "You can't do this to me, I am the only son of the Bai family!""So what?" Bai Zhengqing said firmly, no room for negotiation. "If you continue to behave like this , I will no longer have you as my son."He turned and left the living room, leaving Bai Haoyang standing there alone, facing the city lights outside the window, feeling extremely annoyed.Bai Youwei came quietly from the side and said softly, "Brother, Mom and Dad are angry, you should reflect on yourself.""Not every mistake can be solved with money. This time, you really implicated too many people.""The company's stock price has fallen sharply recently and it almost went bankrupt. Fortunately, my fath
She spoke quickly and clearly, her voice remarkably calm despite the fear that was raging in her.Lin Shuyu's voice immediately became nervous, "Xiao Ge, where are you? I'll come right over.""I'm walking towards the central square now, and try to find a place with more people." Tong Xiaoge said as he quickly walked through a narrow alley.On both sides of the alley are closed shops and dilapidated warehouses, with only one or two windows occasionally emitting dim light.Walking out of the alley, Tong Xiaoge came to a busy street.The street lights here were bright and people were coming and going. She slowed down her pace a little, but still vigilantly observed the surrounding environment.Her heart was beating violently in her chest, and every passerby was a potential threat.Just then, a black car drove slowly by, the window rolled down, and a pair of searching eyes peeked out from inside, looking straight at her.Tong Xiaoge
Alcohol stimulated his nerves, but it could not numb the resentment in his heart.His hand gently stroked the bottles on the bar, and every detail reflected the faint light.His eyes were blurry and his mind was filled with thoughts.He knew that the money only temporarily calmed the threat, but the resentment deep inside was growing stronger."This can't end like this." He said to himself, with determination in his voice, "I won't let it go like this."Bai Haoyang's meditation in the study was interrupted by the doorbell. He looked up and saw Bai Youwei standing at the door. The cold light in her eyes could not be ignored.Bai Youwei walked into the study, her steps were elegant but with a proud attitude."Brother, we need to talk."Bai Haoyang raised his head and looked at Bai Youwei with complicated eyes, "What are you talking about?""About the way you dealt with Tong Xiaoge." Bai Youwei closed the door, a hint of cont
Bai Youwei blinked, her expression somewhat awkward. She bit her lip lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere:"I'm sorry, Brother Fu Chen, please forgive me if I said too much. I just... care about you too much."Fu Chen took a deep breath, turned around, and there was unspeakable anger in his eyes.He moved closer to Bai Youwei and spoke in a softer tone, "Youwei , thank you for everything you have done for me. You should take this soup back. I have no appetite now.""As for the matter between me and Xiaoge , please stop interfering."Bai Youwei nodded slightly, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, "Okay, Brother Fu Chen, I understand."She stood up, gently picked up the untouched bowl of chicken soup, and said with a hint of grievance, "Then I'll leave first."Bai Youwei left Fu Chen's office and the door slowly closed behind her.Her steps seemed a little hesitant, and her inner emotions were complicated and difficult to
Tong Xiaoge's expression changed slightly, and he already knew what was going on.She looked at Bai Youwei with disdain. At this moment, Bai Youwei's aggrieved look with tears in her eyes really made people feel pity for her."Fu Chen, just think whatever you want." Tong Xiaoge tried to keep her voice calm.Fu Chen did not seem to accept this explanation, and his tone became more serious:"Tong Xiaoge, as a mature adult, you should learn to be tolerant and understanding.""Youwei has already apologized, what else do you want from her?"Bai Youwei heard this and quickly interrupted, her voice deliberately soft:"Xiao Ge, I'm really sorry. If you're still unhappy, come to me. I don't want to ruin the relationship between you and Brother Fu Chen."Tong Xiaoge faced Fu Chen's accusations and Bai Youwei 's gossip with a look of disdain on her face.She knew it very well and was too lazy to explain, so she turned to Lin Shuyu, w
