Bai Jinyi finished her sentence, and the noisy room suddenly became quiet, Everyone was stunned and froze in lasses in thein each others ears– but all turned around to gape at Bai Jinyin She stood under the stage and was an e things

Bai Jinji instictively muffled her mouth and stepped back towards the rose wall She stood behind Huo Guanchen and a lone voice chanted in her head, It’s over, it’s over… How could she have said that outloud?! This was the deepest secret in her heart and the darkest one too She had kept it for the longest ti knew of this secret But he was already gone, and Song Jinning wasall her memories of what happened after she turned 18 So Bai Jinyi was the only one to know this She kept it deep inside her heart where it settled in and never disappeared for a whole 16 years Perhaps she actually wanted this deep and intense feeling hidden inside her heart to be found out after all? That’s why under Gu Nianzhi’s ceaseless duress and twisting of words, Bai Jinyi finally blurted out the secret It was not only to clear up Gu Nianzhi’s accusation, but also revenge against her brothers Bai Jiancheng and Bai Changhui for forcing her to get engaged with Huo Guanchen… Gu Nianzhi didn’t realize that the Bai faeical aspect, huical need to interact with the same kind If someone kept a secret for many years, their subconscious would develop a desire to confide in others Just like how even a serial killer can’t help but calling in anonyive tips on thewas capable of resisting inductive interrogation, for exa For a noration, al out the secret Bai Jinyi’s rebelliousness towards her brothers compounded to her desire to confide, so Gu Nianzhi’s plan went along better than expected Gu Nianzhi had just unleashed a huge secret and toned down her aggressiveness Her eyes were glazed as she appeared as incredulous as everyone else Truthfully speaking, no one would have even i hadn’t h to force this secret out fro It’s only when one knows the answer that they can lay the perfect trap

Outside the Huosat in in his bulletproof vehicle and watching the live footage through the laptop screen His lips curved as he whispered, “Good girl”

“Yes, the one I loved was Huo Guanyuan I’d loved him since the first day I’d met him, for 20 years I never stopped” Bai Jinyi raised her chin and looked at her brother, Bai Jiancheng, with contearded Huo Guanchen beside her

Bai Yueran’s heart sunk She had been paying close attention to the events unfold and swore internally She asked, “Aunt, if the one you love is Huo Guanyuan, why are you getting engaged with Huo Guanchen This isn’t right” It was a warning to Bai Jinyi to take responsibility for her own actions There was no way the Bai’s were letting her shi+ft the blame to thee scathless once again, so she immediately asked in her honeyed voice, “Really now? And why’s that? If Physicist Bai has loved General Huo’s older brother all this tiether with General Huo for ten years? Hehehehe, you just said that you’ve always loved Huo Guanyuan, but you turned your sights to his younger brother as soon as he died If Huo Guanyuan was to know if this in heaven, hoould that be! So, I don’t believe a word that you’re saying, I suggest you stop lying and stop trying to change the subject”

“Oh, as if I care whether or not I believe you!” Bai Jinyi sneered as she glanced at the red faced Huo Guanchen besides her “I wasn’t with hily? Could you have been forced?” Gu Nianzhi quietly turned the attention to the entire Bai fa and Bai Changhui under the stage “Brothers, you forced me to marry into the Huo family I’ht a clear gli’s face No, she could allow her brother to discard her now—so she decided to take a ga the entire Bai family doith her She knehat her brother was like: he wouldn’t hesitate to abandon her for the greater good of the fa’s face remained impassive as he looked at Bai Jinyi under the rose wall He folded his hands behind his back and exhaled sharply and deeply before turning around to bow at Grandfather Huo, “Grandfather Huo, this is theyou all this trouble Our fahui’s appeared soleave Bai Jinyi a disappointed look “Jinyi, we’ve huo hoe… Well, I didn’t really want to say anything unkind You have to understand that you’re no longer young and can’t have children anyood for the Bai fae? We don’t even interfere in the personal affairs of our children and grandchildren, let alone your’s Ask Yueran and Shuang, ask if we’ve ever asked thelared at Bai Changhui, so furious she was couldn’t say a word She was only trying to protect herself, but now the brother she was closest as already quickly abandoning her! She could argue with Gu Nianzhi, but betrayal from her own faize for today I didn’t know that ave your family so much trouble, and we are very sorry This is our family’s fault and e you for it Once we take her hoize to you” Bai Changhui apologized sincerely to Huo Guanchen, as still standing next to Bai Jinyi

Huo Guanchen’s face was stony as he kept staring intently at Song Jinning, as next to Gu Nianzhi He cohui didn’t mind Their family had ery with thehui didn’t blas easier for Huo Shaoheng by taking the opportunity to drag the entire Bai faht the Bai’s would be so powerful and could escape once again Just like how the Bai family wasn’t seriously affected when the second son, Bai Yusheng, had betrayed the nation, Bai Jinyi’s romantic affairs would be even less of a threat to the fa Jinning

Song Jinning nodded at her Gu Nianzhi understood and called out, “Wait a second” She looked at Bai Changhui “Mr Bai, are you going to take Physicist Bai away now?

“Yes We are very sorry for what happened today…” Bai Changhui gave a pained look “It’s because we didn’t raise her properly”

“Mr Bai, so you are going to sentence yourselves and sweep this under the rug?” Gu Nianzhi blinked as she instantly revealed Bai Changhui’s intentions
