Chapter 1146: Getting What They Deserve
Chapter 1146: Getting What They Deserve
The large screen went dark.
Bai Hui finally came to her senses, but what awaited her was the approach of the police.
Staring at the newcomers, she let out a cold laugh and turned to look at Zhang Jia.
At this moment, Zhang Jia was standing by the man’s side.
Bai Hui understood everything.
She angrily said, "Is this how you treat your own mother? Do you know what you’re doing? Do you believe they will treat you well?"
Zhang Jia pressed his lips together without speaking.
Whether it was about Bai Hui or the Bai Family, he felt uncertain inside.
But Zhang Shutong’s fate had indeed sounded a warning bell for him.
He didn’t want to become a discarded pawn of Bai Hui.
Bai Hui was taken away by the police, and the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Sang Li stepped forward to take control of the situation.
"Everyone, please continue. I’m confident the Zhang Family will handle their internal matters well."
The man immediately brought Zhang Jia forward.
"Sorry, everyone, for making a spectacle. I must clarify on behalf of the Zhang Family that Bai Hui’s actions do not represent us. Whether it’s Zhang Jia or Zhang Shutong, they are descendants of our Zhang Family, and they must face the law for their wrongdoings. Our Zhang Family will not cover up for them, and I believe Shutong will reform."
Although the man was preserving the Zhang Family’s reputation, he also publicly supported the two children.
As a result, neither Zhang Jia nor Zhang Shutong would face too much trouble in the future.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jia felt a bitter taste in his heart.
He thought that if he and his sister had understood the Zhang Family better back then, instead of blindly believing Bai Hui,
perhaps things wouldn’t have turned out the way they did.
At this moment, Sang Li approached with Chu Yin.
Chu Yin assessed Zhang Jia and finally understood what Sang Li meant by saying he’s not capable of shouldering great responsibilities.
Zhang Jia lacked the demeanor of a family heir, resembling a child who couldn’t grow up under Bai Hui’s shadow.
Little wonder that Zhang Shutong dared to commit kidnapping, yet this brother didn’t even dare to show his face.
Chu Yin wasn’t interested in questioning further, only waiting for everything to settle.
Sang Li glanced at Chu Yin, then turned to the man.
"I’ll leave the rest to you."
"Yes, I’ll apologize on behalf of the two children. Regarding the project in cooperation with the Sang Group, due to Bai Hui’s interference which resulted in chaos, I intend to withdraw and fully hand over the project to the Sang Group."
With Bai Hui’s arrest, the Zhang Family was sure to be implicated.
Now wasn’t the time for rivalry.
Sang Li agreed, nodding slightly.
After that, the man left with Zhang Jia.
Sang Li again became the focus of the party, and even Chu Yin received considerable attention from the wives present.
She wasn’t quite used to an environment filled with "friendly" people.
After chatting briefly, she found an excuse to slip away.
After using the restroom, she didn’t return to the banquet hall but went to the rooftop of the hotel to enjoy the breeze.
As expected of the most luxurious hotel in Hai City, the rooftop facilities were lavish.
While there weren’t many seats, they were extremely tasteful, and you could take stunning photos from any angle.
Chu Yin walked to a spot near the glass railing, ordered a drink, and began admiring the night view.
The breeze blowing against her was very comfortable and pleasant.
Just then, her company sent her a message: the previously pending payments had all been credited.
Looking at the figures, Chu Yin counted them several times to ensure the money was indeed hers.
To think it could be this much, so much.
She clenched her hand, feeling an unprecedented sense of security.
Just as Chu Yin was enchanted by the joy of earning a fortune, a pair of hands wrapped around her from behind.
The shallow breathing of a man echoed in her ear.
"What are you looking at? I saw you smiling from a distance."
Chu Yin didn’t hide it, directly pointing at the numbers on her phone. "My earnings. It’s the first time I’ve seen this much. My money."
Sang Li glanced at it, apparently Chu Yin was so happy she forgot he’s her boss.
Her money still required his approval.
But seeing her joy, Sang Li still nodded, "Nice, looks like I can also live the life of Third Young Master."
Hearing this, Chu Yin finally realized.
How could she forget this amount of money was nothing in Sang Li’s eyes?
"Stop joking with me."
"I’m not joking, it’s all your earnings, and besides, I’m not hard to support," Sang Li said with a light smile, "What do you plan to do with this money?"
"Do what? There’s so much money, I can’t spend it all no matter what I do."
Chu Yin felt Sang Li had too high an opinion of her.
Even though she had made money, she couldn’t spend it all at once.
Sang Li continued, "Without considering anything else, what would you most like to use it for?"
Chu Yin pointed to the tall building in the distance, "I want to buy a house for us."
She deliberately emphasized the word "us."
But she was a bit embarrassed, fearing Sang Li might think she was joking.
Sang Li nodded, "Good idea, having our own house feels more secure. If you’re not happy one day, you can kick me out."
Upon hearing this, images of Sang Li being thrown out filled Chu Yin’s mind.
She couldn’t help but laugh.
Sang Li pulled her into his embrace, "But that day won’t come."
Chu Yin leaned against him, looking into the distance, "Then wait for me a bit longer. I can’t afford a very nice house for now. If it’s too far, it won’t be convenient for either of us."
"I’ll listen to you, wife."
Chu Yin reached out to hug him, feeling happiness for the first time.
The next day.
The news of Bai Hui’s arrest spread far and wide. The Zhang Family also issued a statement cutting ties with her and presented the will left by Zhang’s father.
Suddenly, those who once supported Bai Hui scattered like monkeys from a falling tree, fearing any association with her.
Zhang Jia and his uncle went to the prison to visit Zhang Shutong.
Upon learning the truth, Zhang Shutong collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
She loved Zhang’s father the most and thought staying with Bai Hui and the Zhang Family meant staying with her father.
As a result, she ended up in this state.
Although she deserved her punishment, she also became the saddest pawn.
After the sentencing, this matter had nothing to do with Chu Yin.
While Bai Hui was in prison with no visitors, she seemed to have thought of something and kept demanding to see Chu Yin and Sang Li.
Although Chu Yin didn’t understand business, she could guess Bai Hui’s motive.
It was nothing more than venting and blaming everything on their family.
Chu Yin and Sang Li didn’t even consider seeing her.
After recovering, Chu Yin and Sang Li returned to Jing City.
First, they went to the company for a meeting to discuss the upcoming schedule.
The collaboration discussed earlier couldn’t be canceled, but things would be much easier for her thereafter.
Without the dream of becoming a top celebrity, Chu Yin felt very relaxed.
She auditioned for several roles and got through the first round.
Of course, she kept her marriage to Sang Li a secret, lest people give Sang Li face and deliberately make things easy for her.
Afterward, Chu Yin arranged to meet Lin Zhiyi.
However, since Lin Zhiyi was now very busy, she could only meet her directly at the studio.
...
Studio.
Chu Yin hadn’t entered yet when she heard a woman’s displeased voice coming from the reception room.
"Where’s Lin Zhiyi? I know her, did you tell her or not?"
They know each other?
Chu Yin curiously stood at the doorway for another look.
