Chapter 42: Rose Tinted Glasses
Bai Zhan sat next to Yan Wanning and his gentle face was also shrouded with a layer of frost. Though the assistant didn't say anything too explicitly, everyone was an adult. What could they not understand?
In fact, they couldn't even find out the reality of the situation from the rest of the assistants.
No matter how they yelled and made a scene, the assistants seemed to be professionally trained to deal with them. They all continued to smile and diverted the questions without answering even a single one of them.
Bai Zhan and Bai Jixuan were furious when they realised that the assistants were fooling them by playing diversionary tactics. However, just as they were returning home and thinking of how to deal with these assistants and find out where the CEO of the company was hiding, they ran into a senior assistant.
Meng Suisui sympathised with Bai Meiyue and didn't want to see the Bai family running around, as she knew that even if they spent months trying to figure out the truth, the company wouldn't let them.
After all, after Bai Meiyue, Chen Yuya was their next rising star and they would not give up on her so easily; thus, she explained the entire matter to them clearly and thoroughly.
She also explained the matter of Bai Meiyue being drugged by Chen Yuya under the orders of Bai Xue, as well as the matter of Chen Yuya insulting Bai Meiyue and Bai Meiyue trying to almost kill Chen Yuya.
As for the reason why Bai Meiyue was able to escape the punishment, it was because the company had suppressed the matter and asked Chen Yuya to give up and stop pursuing the matter. After all, the matter of Bai Qingshi drugging Bai Meiyue had already become too high profile; if Chen Yuya was to file a complaint, they were worried that Bai Meiyue might throw evidence out against her as well.
Thus, even though Chen Yuya was reluctant, she had no other choice but to agree.
There was also the matter of the man who slept with Bai Meiyue. Though no one knew who it was, they had received clear instructions to stop all activities to discredit Bai Meiyue. This showed that this man was really powerful.
However, in the eyes of Yan Wanning and the Bai brothers, the rest of the information was useless. They only cared about one thing and that was that Bai Meiyue was bullied by a man.
Till now, they thought that Bai Meiyue somehow managed to escape from the inevitable tragedy but after listening to Meng Suisui, the little hope that they had was shattered into pieces. As for Bai Meiyue trying to kill Chen Yuya, they didn't believe a word about it. Bai Meiyue was so thin and weak; how could she hurt someone?
It was either an attempt to discredit her or that woman humiliated Bai Meiyue so badly that their poor Yueyue attacked that woman in her anger.
No matter what, Bai Meiyue was not in the wrong!
What was more, they also asked around the hospital where Chen Yuya was admitted at the moment and they found out that the woman visited Bai Xue and Su Hu every day.
Almost died? Ha, as if! Couldn't they see how much strength Bai Meiyue had? Those thin arms couldn't even kill a chicken. How could Bai Meiyue hurt Chen Yuya?
Bai Meiyue: Haha.
They had a feeling that Chen Yuya was doing all this to get sympathy and pity from her fans by stepping on Bai Meiyue.
Thus, the three of them had already thought about what to do next.
But of course they were not going to tell this matter to Bai Meiyue, whose mentality was already fragile.
When Bai Meiyue saw her mother cry, she tried to be strong but she couldn't help but start crying with her. It had been so long since someone had cared for her and felt sorry for her.
When Yan Wanning and the Bai brothers saw Bai Meiyue cry, their eyes turned red and Yan Wanning immediately stopped crying.
She couldn't show her weak side to her daughter, who was already suffering enough and make her upset. Thus, Yan Wanning asked Bai Jixuan to send Bai Meiyue to her room while she sat in the living hall and started discussing the matter with Bai Zhan.
No matter what, they could not let this matter be brushed under the rug. Who did they think their Yueyue was? Could they ignore the humiliation that Bai Meiyue suffered by handing her a broken house?
Bai Jixuan brought Bai Meiyue to her room and patted her on the head before saying in a comforting voice, "Don't think about this matter too much. Your brother will definitely deal with those bullies for you."
He, Bai Jixuan, was still alive and kicking. There was no way he would let his sister be bullied by an unknown man and that shady father of theirs!
That man who treated his sister cruelly, he better hope that Bai Jixuan never found out who he was or else he would send him to meet his maker.
When Bai Meiyue heard her second brother's words, her eyes turned red again. She couldn't help but wish to slap herself in the face. Why did she stay and listen to Bai Qingshi? Why did she desire the affection of that coldhearted father when she had such loving brothers and mother?
"Umm," she nodded and responded to Bai Jixuan obediently. Though she was guilty about troubling her mother and two brothers, Bai Meiyue would rather lie and trouble them. If they went back to the village, then what would happen then?
Bai Jixuan saw how obedient his sister was and hated Bai Qingshi even more. He dared to ruin such a good girl for his selfishness; Bai Qingshi was lucky that he was locked up in prison or else he would have skinned him alive!
Bai Jixuan said a few more words to Bai Meiyue and asked her to take a nap while he went outside to discuss the matter of dealing with those who bullied his sister.
Once he left, the softness in Bai Meiyue's eyes melted almost immediately, and she turned to look at the notification of the Barter System sharply.
