Chapter 339 - 339 Biological Granddaughter!
339 Biological Granddaughter!
Chu Cichen brought over twenty bodyguards. Although his number of people was a little fewer in comparison, his guards felt no fear when they confronted the Bai Family’s guards.
With them here, the reporters once again flooded the great hall and started asking questions.
“What happened here?”
“Bai Shanshan was pranked maliciously. Who did this?”
“…”
Matriarch Bai tensed her chin and matched gazes with Chu Cichen.
This Chu Family Leader was young and had guts. Moreover, he exuded an aura as though he would even massacre gods and buddhas should they stand in his way. It was like he had no fear at all.
Matriarch Bai narrowed her eyes. “Mr. Chu, do you know what you are doing?”
Chu Cichen was the backbone of the Chu Family, the leader. He ignored Matriarch Bai and looked straight at Chu Cimo, saying, “Do what you want to do.”
Earlier, Chu Cimo stayed silent because he wanted to respect his elder brother’s choice. So, now after he heard Chu Cichen speak, he immediately shouted to the reporters, “Shen Wanying is the person who commanded her butler to intentionally harm Shanshan!”
At this moment, Shen Wanying had calmed down. With the entire Bai Family as her backing, she basically feared nothing.
She frowned and spoke loftily, “What nonsense are you talking about? My status and Miss Bai’s status are so far apart. Why would I target a small celebrity like her?”
In order to create a huge scene and also to let the reporters hear clearly, Chu Cimo shouted, “I’m not talking nonsense! There was already conflict between us. My daughter was selected by Sparton and became his student, but you wanted your son to snatch her slot away. For this, you targeted our family. This incident is known by every parent in the school. Hence, you have the motive to harm my wife!”
Shen Wanying acted indifferently. “Given the Bai Family’s power, do you think I’ll care for some education resources? My son can have everything he wants. Does he need to snatch anything from people?”
She sighed. “Also, you said that all parents in the kindergarten know of this. In that case, can you find a witness?”
She had always acted nobly to outsiders, as though she didn’t give a damn about the slot. She knew that no one would have anything on her.
Chu Cimo choked after hearing her words.
Shen Wanying grew even more domineering. “Do you think our Bai Family is like you? Hankering over some education resources? What can’t we have? Our Bai Family can sue you for slander if you start talking nonsense without evidence!”
As her words rang out, a voice suddenly drifted over from the entrance. “I can be the witness!”
Everyone turned and saw Bai Xiaojiu, who had just arrived.
Bai Xiaojiu saw Bai Shanshan’s trending news when he was at home, and he recalled that his grandmother and eldest sister-in-law were precisely here for this banquet. Realizing that his eldest sister-in-law must have done something, he then hurried over.
However, he didn’t realize he would run into such a scene.
When Shen Wanying saw him, she immediately felt her heart sinking.
She quickly looked at Matriarch Bai, wanting Matriarch Bai to stop him from speaking. However, Matriarch Bai was after all an old woman, and her reaction wasn’t as fast as before. Before she could say anything, Bai Xiaojiu already spoke to everyone in the surroundings, “I’m from the Bai Family, and I can bear witness that my eldest sister-in-law is indeed vying with the Chu Family for this education resource. Because of this matter, she always treats the Chu Family like a thorn in her flesh!”
As he said this, the reporters in the surroundings went crazy!
So, what Chu Cimo had said earlier was real!
As expected, Shen Wanying was the one who commanded her butler!
Everyone immediately raised their cameras and started snapping pictures!
This would definitely be the headline for tomorrow!
Shen Wanying quickly covered her face as panic filled her heart once more.
As for Chu Cimo, he was extremely joyful. Right now, he could already prove that Shen Wanying had the motive to do this. Even if the butler didn’t expose her, the reporters would be enough to make her lose a layer of skin at the very least!
But at this moment, a peal of mocking laughter rang out.
Matriarch Bai took a step forward and spoke to one of the reporters in the surroundings, “Which news agency are you from?”
That person started.
Matriarch Bai lowered her eyes and stared at his work badge. “The Night Entertainment News Agency? Do you know that the act of writing a report without evidence to back it up can be sued?”
That reporter immediately panicked and quickly took a step back. “I won’t fabricate things and will write the report truthfully!”
“Truthfully? There’s no need to report things when people are casually slandering my Bai Family.”
Matriarch Bai’s single sentence caused the reporter’s words to be stuck in his throat.
That reporter stared at Matriarch Bai in astonishment before looking at the bodyguards of the Bai Family in the surroundings. All of them had fierce and malevolent expressions. The reporter immediately spoke with no hesitation, “…Alright, don’t worry Matriarch Bai. I won’t write the report!”
Matriarch Bai then turned her eyes to the others in the surroundings.
The group of reporters instantly felt stifled.
The Bai Family was one of the four great families of the capital!
How would they dare to offend them?
Hence, all of them lowered their heads one by one.
Matriarch Bai calmly spoke, “Butler, these reporters are still working so hard during this cold winter night. You should bring them to a coffee house and order some hot stuff to warm their bodies.”
The butler immediately stepped forward and led the reporters away.
Once again, Chu Cimo witnessed how different the influential families in the capital were from the influential families in Sea City!
The four great families of the capital were simply too tyrannical!
The reporters didn’t dare to write the report and had left directly. After that, Matriarch Bai walked toward Bai Xiaojiu and suddenly launched a slap ruthlessly at his face!
“Did our Bai Family teach you to butter up outsiders to harm your own people?”
Bai Xiaojiu felt a burning pain on his cheek, but he stared straight at Matriarch Bai. “Grandmother, eldest sister-in-law was committing murder!”
“Pak!”
Another slap was ruthlessly launched!
Matriarch Bai glared at him. “So you do know that she is your eldest sister-in-law!”
Bai Xiaojiu clenched his fists tightly. “Grandmother, is the Bai Family’s prestige really that important? Could it be that for the sake of prestige, you would even condone her even if she committed a crime?”
Matriarch Bai coldly laughed. “Why is it that our Bai Family can stand tall and not fall for several centuries? It is because we always put our family first! The prestige of the family is greater than any individual’s prestige, and any damage to the family’s prestige is also greater in comparison. You studied for so many years but don’t even know this logic? Why does the old man regard you so highly?”
The four great families of the capital were all large families with very rich heritages.
Despite the change of eras, their roots were still deep and their foundations were robust. Hence, they weren’t affected much. It was because all of them treated the family as their number one priority.
Bai Xiaojiu wanted to say that this was a new modern society, but he knew it was useless to say it. Those elders of the family basically wouldn’t listen to him because they would use their past standards to judge him.
For example, Matriarch Bai hated Fourth Madam Bai immensely, but even after her second son had left home, she still allowed her fourth son to marry her.
Bai Xiaojiu opened and closed his mouth, not being able to say anything.
All of a sudden, a clear voice drifted over. “In that case, can you forsake your biological grandchild for the sake of family?”
When Shen Ruojing said this, her peach blossom eyes were glancing through the windows of the great hall. Lu Hui was finally here with the DNA report!
