“Have you forgotten the lesson in the past?” Song Xiyu warned her.
In the past, both Song Xiyu and Gu Tianhang had kidnapped her and threatened Gu Mingchen to marry Su Wanning. They even amputated her finger.
That thought made her feel hurtful.
Bai Rong turned pale and curled her lips, “I’ve recorded everything down. That kidnapping incident occurred three years ago was done by you guys and the reason for kidnapping me had something to do with Governor Cheng. I’ve stated all names that were involved in the kidnapping. I left that piece of information back in America in a black box and is under the watch of my friend. Given my popularity in this industry, I believe many professionals from all over the world will believe what I have written. Even if it’s a fake, many will still buy it. What more, my copy is genuine and it has proof to support it.”
“Are you out of your mind? Do you know how many will get involved if words were to leak out?” Song Xiyu said, feeling uneasy.
“It’s not up to me to decide upon that but your sanity! Nothing will happen if my life is secured. However, if I were to face danger, then that leaves me no choice. I could bother less about others as I need to protect myself.” Bai Rong said coldly as her eyes were glittering ferociously.
“You’re one cunning woman. Does Mingchen know about it?” Song Xiyu asked as her face turned pale.
“There are many who forget what they have done when they’re questioning other people. Madam Song, speaking of being cunning, have you ever thought of what you’ve done?” Bai Rong said calmly.
“You’re good with words, I’ll never approve of you marrying into our family.” Song Xiyu said, feeling exasperated.
Bai Rong let out a smile, “Nothing will change regardless of your approval. If you treat me well as a daughter-in-law, naturally, I will treat you well too, like my mom.”
“Forget it. I don’t have such a daughter-in-law.” Song Xiyu rejected flat out.
Bai Rong instantly got the message, “Then if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up the call.”
“Bai Rong, you want to marry into our family, but have you thought about the attitude you’re having right now? If Mingchen marries you, that makes me your mother-in-law. Your behavior will place your husband in a rather difficult position.” Song Xiyu lectured her as an elder.
“Ever since the beginning, you kept threatening me, making me recall the incident that took place three years ago. You should be thankful that I’m still able to talk to you. Like what you just said, you won’t acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law, so why should I acknowledge you in return? Besides, it’s not me who will place Gu Mingchen in a difficult position, but you. Also, you despise me, always looking at me skeptically and the situation will not improve with me giving in to you. It will only get worse if I compromise and I’ll always have to live my life in the shadows. The last person I should let down is myself. I’m sorry but I don’t plan on giving in.” Bai Rong said in a cold tone.
She was well aware since three years ago that it was important to have power and not just crying around and begging others while leaving your fate in their hands.
There would be times where others would do whatever it took to frame you and would not just let you off the hook just because you pleaded.
Therefore, all she did was just to protect herself.
Three years ago, she was helpless as she could not defend against the malicious ambush of Song Xiyu and Gu Tianhang.
However, three years had passed. She was no longer the helpless lady she used to be.
“You insist on marrying my son, don’t you?!” Song Xiyu was enraged.
“What’s your thought about that?” Bai Rong counter-questioned.
“Three years ago, I thought of you as an obedient little girl. Looks like I’ve misjudged you. I should not have let you off the hook if I know you will turn out to be like this.” Song Xiyu said with much hatred.
“I’m not bothered whether you’ve misjudged me or not. Alright, I’m hanging up.” Bai Rong hung up the call before Song Xiyu could even speak.
Despite expressing explicitly that she was not bothered, she took it personally deep into her heart.
After all, that woman was Gu Mingchen’s mother, the mother of the man she loved.
Bai Rong turned to look at Gu Mingchen. “I’m sorry, I can’t get along with your mom.”
