“Wait for me in the study.”
“Yes, sir.”
Bai Qinghao put on his clothes and headed for the study. The Yu Ting Villa’s Butler, Zhao Cheng, was already waiting for him.
When Zhao Cheng saw him, he immediately brought out a stack of newly developed pictures. “Young Master, please look at these photos…”
The photos were of the disfigured Fang Manxue. She appeared to be covered in bruises and suffering from miserable beatings in the prison. “This was received from Zhen You, a reporter from Jing Hua Newspaper Office. According to him, someone plans on writing an article with these photos, claiming that it was Madam Fang Xinxin who caused Fang Manxue to become disfigured. They also arranged for someone to secretly take photos of Fang Manxue being beaten up in prison and plan on criticising Madam for arranging this ‘care’ for Fang Manxue.”
Ever since someone wrote an article about Fang Xinxin purchasing haunted apartments in a bid to ruin the Bai family’s luck, Bai Qinghao informed all media outlets that they were not allowed to write any articles that would affect Fang Xinxin negatively. If they wanted to do so, they needed to first receive his permission. Otherwise, they would be going against the Bai family intentionally.
No one dared to offend the Bai family.
Thus, this article that would harm Fang Xinxin was immediately suppressed and a report was made to him.
“These photos are meant to be tomorrow’s news headlines. Jing Hua Newspaper Company is afraid of offending you. Young Master, how would you like this to be handled?” Butler Zhao Cheng awaited his orders.
Bai Qinghao possessed an aura unique to a ruler.
He said heavily, “Tomorrow’s headlines will continue to be about Fang Manxue’s disfigurement. However, the contents are to be changed. Find a female prisoner who has a grudge against Fang Manxue to take the blame. Write that she was the one who disfigured Fang Manxue. Additionally, make the readers assume that Fang Manxue was the one who intentionally caused trouble in prison, and that she deserved to be beaten up.”
“Yes, Sir.” Butler Zhao Cheng immediately left to carry out his orders. On his way out of the study room, he noticed Fang Xinxin approaching and greeted her respectfully. He then took his leave.
Fang Xinxin had been outside the door earlier and overheard their conversation.
She approached Bai Qinghao’s side and embraced him from behind. “Hubby, you’re so good to me.”
No one could slander her through the media outlets again.
Even if she had truly been the person behind Fang Manxue’s disfigurement.
As for the beatings she had been suffering daily in prison, they were most likely the ‘care’ Bai Qinghao had specially arranged for her.
Bai Qinghao turned to the side and tugged her onto his lap. He embraced her thin waist and pressed a kiss against her fair cheek. “You’re my wife. If I don’t treat you well, who should I be treating well?”
She leaned into his embrace and felt especially content.
…
The next morning, Bai Jingrou reached for her phone the moment she got out of bed.
She saw that the headlines were related to Fang Manxue’s disfigurement and immediately smiled viciously.
Fang Xinxin, that whore, would soon gain a terrible reputation now that everyone knew she had disfigured her own sister.
To her shock, she read through the contents and saw that the article claimed that it was a female prisoner who had disfigured Fang Manxue. It even claimed that Fang Manxue’s actions had led her to suffer beatings in the prison.
She was angered to the point where smoke was nearly emitting from the top of her head.
It hadn’t been easy obtaining photos of Fang Manxue’s disfigurement and beatings that she suffered. She had planned to rely on the netizens’ power to draw significant criticism onto Fang Xinxin, and drag her into jail through charges of intentional injury.
She did not expect the article’s intention to change this drastically.
To think that a woman prisoner would be blamed for Fang Manxue’s disfigurement. In the future, even if this matter was dragged back onto Fang Xinxin’s head, no one would believe it.
Bai Jingrou was intelligent and immediately understood that Bai Qinghao was the one behind this.
It seemed like even if she possessed any news that would damage Fang Xinxin’s reputation, there wouldn’t be any media outlets that would be willing to receive it..
