Chapter 767: Scandal Queen vs. The White Lotus Actor 38

 Meanwhile, Bai Pingting immediately sat up at the salon and ripped the facial mask off her face.

“I'll stop for today. I have something to take care of, so I'm heading home first.” Bai Pingting said to the woman beside her.

“All right, Miss Bai!”

Bai Pingting quickly gathered her things and hurried back to the Bai residence.

As soon as she arrived, Bai Pingting walked toward her father with a wronged expression. “Dad! You have to help A-Jie this time!”

Hearing this, Bai's father hurriedly asked, “What happened? What made my precious baby girl so aggrieved?”

“It's all those rumors online. You don't know how many people started stirring things up and smearing A-Jie after he announced our relationship on Weibo. But he put up with it all. Now it's different. That Tang Wan… she's trying to get revenge on A-Jie for exposing her true colors online last time. She's going all out to smear him, just to make things difficult for us and ruin our marriage.” Bai Pingting said angrily.

Then she continued, “I was worried that A-Jie would be affected, so I wanted to help him, but he refused. He's just afraid that you'd think his intentions for being with me weren't pure! But that's the Tang family we're talking about. How can he withstand the Tang family's retaliation on his own? Dad, you can't refuse to help this time.”

Hearing this, Bai's father nodded slightly. “Dad understands.”

During the two years that Wan Jie had been dating Pingting, he had always been very low-key. He had indeed never once used the Bai family's name to do anything advantageous for himself.

This showed that he had quite a strong sense of pride as well. Being with Pingting, he truly had never intended to climb onto the Bai family's coattails.

……

Seeing that her father had agreed, Bai Pingting immediately linked her arm through his and said, “Also, Dad, you have to have someone do it quietly. Otherwise, if A-Jie finds out, he'll probably feel uncomfortable knowing that he used the Bai family's power.”

Hearing this, Bai's father patted her hand helplessly. “All right, all right, Dad understands. You really haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already this concerned about what he thinks.”

“That's only because A-Jie is always so considerate of my feelings. That's why I'm considerate of his too!” Bai Pingting said with a sweet smile.

Thinking of how gentle and doting Wan Jie usually was toward Bai Pingting, Bai's father nodded as well.

Besides, the Bai family had already agreed to their marriage. Wan Jie could be considered half a member of the Bai family now. Since that was the case, he naturally had no reason to stand by and watch Wan Jie get bullied.

Soon, Bai's father picked up his phone and made a call.

Ten minutes later, every hot search related to Wan Jie had completely disappeared from Weibo.

Wan Jie's studio also issued a legal statement, saying that they would pursue legal responsibility against those spreading rumors and asking everyone not to blindly follow public opinion or believe those rumors.

Gradually, the storm began to die down.

……

Shang Baitong wasn't surprised by this outcome.

In the first place, he hadn't spent so many resources exposing Wan Jie's scandals just to make Wan Jie lose followers or anything like that.

He had exposed those scandals simply because he couldn't stand that man's hypocritical behavior. He wanted to disgust him a little and get some revenge on Wanwan's behalf.

As for the Bai family?

Since they'd accepted such a son-in-law, then all he could do was wish them well…

And hope they got their assets drained by Wan Jie sooner rather than later!

After having Old Wei withdraw the studio's paid commenters, Shang Baitong put down his phone and said to Tang Wan, “Wanwan, it's time to go see your parents.”

They'd been away for half a month. Now that they were back, it wouldn't be proper not to visit her parents.

Hearing this, Tang Wan hurriedly nodded.

The two of them then carried the local specialties and other souvenirs they'd brought back from their trip and headed to the Tang residence.
