If the insinuation report in the last issue of Weekly Weekly was just a small test of her skills, then this time, she will definitely be blackmailed without leaving any room.
Bai Xiao turned over and saw the five-page report, which did not mention the Yu family or the Xu family. However, the relationship between her and the Pei family continued to be magnified and magnified, especially the fact that 'child bride' was marked in red.
At the beginning of the article, there is even a marriage file with her name written underneath.
In the man's column, the words "Pei Qiyou" are written very clearly.
"This weekly reporter specifically visited the Pei family in Fengcheng. The Pei family was evasive, but the reporter met a boy outside the community where the Pei family lived, claiming to be the Pei family's nephew, and pointed out that Bai Xiao in the photo given by the reporter was his cousin.
Pei Qiyou’s ex-wife.”
The report also mentioned that residents near the community can all testify that Bai Xiao has lived in Pei's family since childhood and has been close to Pei Qiyou.
Regardless of whether this information is really said by the residents or fabricated by the magazine, it is just to find the breaking point of this news. The report also mentioned her hometown in Liyang. Even Bai Qiuhua's family was in the news, especially Wu Xiumei.
, not only accepted an interview, but also posted a recent photo of her.
The author's evaluation of Wu Xiumei is that she is a common citizen and her personal qualities need to be improved. As for what Wu Xiumei said, she pointedly pointed at Bai Xiao's ingratitude.
The most unbearable thing for Bai Xiao was that they got a photo of her grandmother basking in the sun on the hospital lawn from nowhere. Between the lines, they accused the old man of failing to teach his daughter well and instilling the idea of vanity in the child since childhood. The daughter gave birth to a child out of wedlock. It turned out that
She thought she could marry into a famous family, but was toyed with and abandoned. Her granddaughter completely inherited her mother's essence. She was still unsatisfied after becoming a child bride for the Pei family. After seducing a married man, she successfully became a high-ranking official in Fengcheng.
He even said that after his granddaughter got married for the second time, the old man moved into a mansion and stayed in the best VIP single ward in the hospital.
The report also exposed Bai Xiao's ID photo from his previous work, next to it was a blurry screenshot of the photo. The background was a hotel in City C, and the two sides formed a contrast. The author also pointed out in a very tempting way that the 'child bride' of the Pei family and
It was previously exposed that the illegitimate daughter of a certain violinist who had an affair with her brother-in-law and forced her cousin to death looked very similar.
In the last part of the newspaper, what's even more outrageous is that it briefly reports on Bai Xiao's close friends. The first one to bear the brunt is Qin Shousheng, who made a fuss about his sexual orientation. As for Ye Hehuan, he became a "social beauty".
Nicknamed "Butterfly". Photos of the two of them were also published.
The author also stated at the end that this weekly will not be afraid of pressure from all parties, adhere to the authenticity of the news, and continue to make progressive follow-up reports.
If Bai Xiao didn't care about these gossip reports before, then at this moment, she is undoubtedly angry.
She never thought that because of her own affairs, these innocent people would be affected. This time it was grandma, Qin Shousheng and He Huan. Who would be next?
…
Aunt Li brought the magazine back when she went shopping for groceries. Bai Xiao's photo was printed on the cover. Aunt Li recognized it at a glance when she passed by the newsstand.
"Whoever did this is so wicked and not afraid of retribution."
Although the report did not mention Yu Shaoting, not everyone in Fengcheng knew about her relationship with Yu Shaoting. Although they did not hold a wedding, Yu Shaoting did not hide their relationship in front of work partners or employees. Moreover, this
This time, her photo was posted there with such high pixels.
After Bai Xiao read the report, he immediately called Yu Shaoting. He answered quickly and said in a surprised tone: "Why are you calling at this time?"
"..." Bai Xiao was afraid that he would be affected by her, so she told him about the report.
Yu Shaoting was calm from beginning to end. After listening to what she said, he spoke in a soothing tone: "Don't worry about these things, I will take care of them."
"How to deal with it?"
"I will find a way. It's not a big deal for you to stay at home."
Bai Xiao didn't take it to heart the first time, but this time, she was still frightened. The other party seemed to be deliberately provoking and made it clear that he would not let it go.
She doesn't know who it will be next time because she will make the headlines of the weekly.
"There won't be a next time." Before hanging up the phone, Yu Shaoting suddenly assured him. His simple six words made Bai Xiao feel reassured and worried at the same time.
Bai Xiao called Li Yang again.
"Two days ago, someone sneakily wanted to enter the ward to see the old lady, but I drove him away. The old lady was afraid that you would worry, so she didn't let me tell you."
Bai Xiao asked Mrs. Wu to call her grandma. The old man seemed to be in a good mood. Liyang was not a big place and the news was not circulated in big cities. Bai Xiao did not tell her about the magazine. After talking for a while, the old man said he wanted to watch TV and talk to her.
Bai Xiao ended the call.
…
Aunt Li made breakfast and brought it out. Bai Xiao had no appetite: "Put it there first, I'm not hungry now."
"These magazines are all nonsense, Teacher Bai, don't take it too seriously." Aunt Li saw that Bai Xiao looked bad and couldn't help comforting her.
Aunt Li had a vague guess about Bai Xiao's past. After all, Bai Xiao once said that she was married, but she didn't expect that she was the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family before. Because she knew Bai Xiao's personality and her grandmother who had been a guest at home was kind-hearted, Li
After reading this report, my aunt felt sorry for Bai Xiao who had gone through so many ups and downs at such a young age.
Bai Xiao called Qin Shousheng and Ye Hehuan to apologize for getting them involved for no reason.
"It's not a secret that I like men. You can say whatever you like." Qin Shousheng looked like he didn't care much. He paused and asked Bai Xiao: "Who did you offend? If the other party wants to punish you like this, according to these two articles
Judging from the reports, the other party should know your life background..."
"I don't know either." Bai Xiao thought it was the Pei family, but after thinking about it carefully, it would not be good for them to expose these things.
"Let me ask for you."
Qin Shousheng called shortly after: "Have you offended a family named Xia in the capital? The president of Yizhou Weekly is Xia Wenjie."
The surname is Xia...
"I don't know him -" Bai Xiao suddenly stopped. She didn't know Xia Wenjie, but Xu Jingyan's wife was named Xia Lan, and she had heard the Xu family talk about her.
Some things, once the clouds are cleared, will only make people feel powerless and have a headache.
Bai Xiao mentioned to Qin Shousheng that the call she made to He Huan just now had a busy signal. Qin Shousheng laughed twice: "She packed up her luggage and ran away a long time ago. She is very thief."
"..."
"It has nothing to do with you. She hides from people and will come back naturally when the limelight passes."
"Qin Shousheng, I heard you say last time that you know all the famous lawyers in Fengcheng. Is it true?" Bai Xiao lowered his head and looked at the magazine: "I want to ask a lawyer to help me look at the information in this report.
Does the fabrication constitute defamation?"
Qin Shousheng: "Doesn't Mr. Yu of your family know Shen Jinliang? You still come to me to ask for a lawyer?"
"...I have brought him enough trouble. This time, if possible, I want to handle it myself." Bai Xiao took a deep breath and spoke firmly.
Qin Shousheng agreed: "I will contact a lawyer for you as soon as possible."
Bai Xiao was worried about Yu Jingxi's situation at school. Aunt Li said that there seemed to be reporters at the gate of the community, and she was afraid that they would go to school to harass the children.
——————————
Because she was worried about her child, Bai Xiao asked driver Xiaoliang to take her to a primary school. She put on a hat and sunglasses before going out.
When she arrived at school, just in time for school to end at noon, the little guy rushed out of the classroom along with a group of children. Bai Xiao had already run a long way when she called him.
"Why are you here?" Yu Jingxi scratched the base of his ear, a little shy, because there were other children nearby looking at him curiously.
Just now, Bai Xiao looked at the school gate and there were no reporters stationed there.
"Go and pack your schoolbag." Bai Xiao held his hand and returned to the empty classroom.
"We have classes in the afternoon." The little guy heard what Bai Xiao meant and was delighted, but he still pretended that he couldn't skip class.
Bai Xiao touched his little head: "I have already asked your class teacher for leave. Uncle Liang is still waiting outside, so hurry up and clean up."
Climbing into the car, Yu Jingxi was a little excited. She didn't know what good thing had happened, and she didn't have to go to class. But after thinking about it, she didn't think it was a good thing. She turned to Bai Xiao and asked, "Why don't you have to go to class today? Is there something going on at home?"
What happened?"
When the little guy asked this question, he already showed a worried look.
"I just missed you, so I came to pick you up," Bai Xiao nodded her son's forehead: "Don't you know that pregnant women's emotions change a lot?"
Yu Jingxi lay on her lap, shaking his head, and then began to report to Bai Xiao about his performance in school these days: "Just now, in Chinese class, Teacher Yang asked me to answer a question. Many people don't know that question, but I think
It's very simple, Teacher Yang makes them all think like me."
Bai Xiao curled her lips: "Teacher Yu told me that you made progress again in yesterday's monthly exam."
"That's necessary." Yu Jingxi pouted her butt and changed her posture: "My performance recently has been great."
On the way back, a call came in on my cell phone.
Bai Xiao looked at the caller ID and picked up: "Hello?"
"Where?"
"I went to pick up Jing Xi from school on the way back to Qinyuan." Bai Xiao glanced at the child sitting next to him playing with the Rubik's Cube, and said softly: "Is something wrong?"
"It's okay, let Xiaoliang drive slower, safety first." He explained at the other end.
Bai Xiao said "hmm" and was about to ask him if he was at the company or eating out, but he said first: "I just got home."
…
Bai Xiao was holding her schoolbag in one hand and holding Yu Jingxi in the other. As soon as she arrived at the door of her home, the door of the villa opened and Yu Shaoting stood there, wearing indoor slippers.
The expression on his face was no different from usual. He leaned over and took out slippers for the mother and son: "Aunt Li has just prepared the meal."
"Dad." Yu Jingxi called in a flattering tone.
Yu Shaoting stroked his little head, took the big schoolbag in Bai Xiao's hand, and said to Yu Jingxi: "Go to the bathroom and wash your hands."
After the little guy ran away, Bai Xiao asked him: "Why did you come home so suddenly?"
"The company has nothing to do in the afternoon." Yu Shaoting put his schoolbag on the sofa in the living room and added: "The takeaway food doesn't taste very good."
Bai Xiao walked over and took the initiative to hold his hand. When she saw him at the door just now, her tense nerves slowly relaxed and no longer felt so heavy.
Yu Shaoting turned his head and looked at her, with a half-smile on his lips: "Don't you welcome me back for lunch?"
Regarding the report, he didn't mention it since he walked in.
But Bai Xiao still said: "I called my mother just now, and Aunt Zhang said she was out. I don't know if she saw the report."
"What are you worried about?" Yu Shaoting touched the back of Jing Xi's head just like he did to her just now: "If you wanted to ask, the old lady would have called me long ago."
——————————
In fact, it's not that Mrs. Yu didn't call to ask, but when she was lying on the couch in the beauty center, there was an endless stream of calls coming in from her mobile phone.
The old lady knew about that report from her relatives and friends, and she gradually changed from the surprised 'what' to the calm 'how is it possible' now.
"Can you believe what those gossip magazines say?" As she said that, the old lady glanced at the manicurist who was trimming her nails: "Slow down, don't damage it."
"..."
"Photography is so popular these days. That marriage file is fake. Can ordinary reporters get that thing?"
What else the other party wanted to say, Mrs. Yu suddenly shouted to a deserted corner: "Xiujuan, tell me to soak your feet? Okay, okay, I'll be here soon."
Then he said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Well, I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."
Putting down her cell phone, Old Mrs. Yu lay on the collapse with her eyes closed, sighed, and said to the manicurist: "Tell me, how come people these days can even believe those gossips, and how can they play cards happily together in the future?"
At this moment, Mrs. Wang, who came with the old lady, hurried in with a magazine: "Huizhi, look, is this your daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Yu sat up and looked at the cover of the magazine. It was Bai Xiao's photo.
"There are also related reports, saying that your youngest daughter-in-law is the child bride of the Pei family in Fengcheng..."
Mrs. Wang took her hand away and wanted to flip through the magazine: "It's all written in it. Take a good look at it yourself. It's written in a meaningful way."
As a result, before the page was turned, the magazine had been snatched away by Mrs. Yu. The old lady lay back on the sinkhole with the magazine underneath her, closing her eyes and pretending to be dead.
Mrs. Wang: "..."
——————————
When Yu Shaoting received the call from his mother, he had just finished a meeting and there was nothing else going on in the company. He took his suit jacket and left the company early and went to the military compound.
Just as he parked the car at the entrance of the yard, Yu Shaoting got out of the car and happened to bump into Yu Zhongxiao coming out of the car: "You're back from the army?"
Chief Yu's face darkened, he held a magazine in his hand, and without even saying hello, he got into his off-road jeep in a hurry and drove away.
At home, Mrs. Yu was sitting on the sofa. When she saw Yu Shaoting coming, she immediately pulled his sleeve and asked: "Is what the magazine said true?"
"What magazine?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid. I don't believe that Xiaoxiao worked as a child bride for the Pei family. If that's true, what's going on with Weiwei?"
Mrs. Yu didn't even dare to call to ask Bai Xiao, for fear that this would be a beautiful misunderstanding, which would create a gap between herself and her daughter-in-law.
"I called your dad just now, and the stinky old man actually said that I made something out of nothing." The old lady said, curling her lips.
Yu Shaoting just told Mrs. Yu that the Weekly Weekly was run by people from the Xia family. After saying that, he raised his eyes and glanced at the old lady: "Do you think it is credible?"
…
After coming out of Yu's house, Yu Shaoting got in the car, answered the phone, and immediately asked: "How's it going?"
"..." The other party briefly explained the situation he had recently investigated. As for the specifics, he would fax it over.
Yu Shaoting pulled off his tie and unbuttoned two shirt buttons: "No need to fax, I just want to see the results."
The other party paused and said everything would be arranged.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Shaoting threw the phone into the passenger seat and drove away from the compound. On the way, he contacted Lu Jinsheng and asked him about the date of Bai Xiao's pregnancy test.
——————————
Pei Qiyou learned about the report in the evening. He had just returned from a business trip. When he got off the plane, the secretary waiting at the airport delivered the magazine to him.
"Who is the person in charge of Yizhou Weekly?" His throat was dry, he glanced at the report and frowned.
"Xia Wenjie." The secretary sat in the passenger seat and told Pei Qiyou everything he had checked: "This is a magazine run by a magazine under the Yuansheng News and Newspaper Publishing Group."
Pei Qiyou stared at Bai Xiao's photo in the magazine, raised his head and said to his secretary: "Find a way to get Mr. Yuansheng's number."
