Chapter 2112: Path of Least Resistance

But when faced with the youthful and enthusiastic Bai Feifei, Tang Yu’s defenses still collapsed.

Ning Shu smiled slightly. It didn’t matter now, since both of their reputations were terrible. She just had to focus on the store.

Ensuring that the Huaxin store operated well was more important than anything else as it would give her a firm foothold in the Wen family.

It was best to take the path of least resistance. Leaving the Wen family cost too much and she would still carry its mark for a lifetime. Leaving for no reason meant being stranded with nothing for no reason.

Ning Shu browsed the internet and found that videos from and about the wedding had gradually decreased in number. Some had been deleted outright. It was obvious that the Tang family had acted.

Even so, the Tang family’s stock still kept falling.

Ning Shu turned the computer off and then patrolled the store.

Now that Tang Yu and Bai Feifei could barely take care of themselves, they didn’t have time to trouble her.

While Ning Shu was leisurely and carefree, Tang Yu’s situation was anything but. He was working with gauze still covering his injury as senior company executives stood beside his hospital bed.

They held a meeting around the bed.

Tang Yu’s secretary walked in and leaned in to tell him that Bai Feifei had been hospitalized in that very hospital.

Tang Yu wanted to see Bai Feifei right away. But with the company’s top executives crowded around the bed and a major matter impacting their stocks, he couldn’t leave to look for Bai Feifei.

Tang Yu finished his work as quickly as possible and then went to Bai Feifei’s ward.

There were a lot of reporters at the door and Tang Yu walked himself right into their trap.

Tang Yu’s location had been kept secret by the hospital staff. The reporter couldn’t find him at all. They only knew that he was somewhere in the building. But now the reporters saw Tang Yu and looked at him with greedy eyes.

The reporters rushed forward and asked Tang Yu a variety of piercing questions about him abducting and enticing a minor while being responsible for her father’s death. Would he hold Bai Feifei’s mother accountable according to law?

When Tang Yu heard the questions, he knew there was no good way to answer them and that not answering was equally bad. It was a turbulent time and until things had calmed down, nothing he said was guaranteed to be taken well.

The veins on Tang Yu’s forehead became more p.r.o.nounced. He didn’t see Bai Feifei and instead found himself blocked by reporters. With his secretary’s help, Tang Yu returned to his own ward.

Tang Yu rubbed his eyebrows. He had a growing headache and a slight concussion. There were so many things happening that he felt like his head was about to explode.

The intensity of this incident far exceeded Tang Yu’s expectations. It was originally a problem between him and Bai Feifei but now it involved too many other factors.

There was the issue of the gossip-mongering reporters, the Tang family’s company, the Wen family, Bai Feifei’s dead father, Bai Feifei’s detained mother, and the fact that Bai Feifei and him were currently in the center of the whirlpool that was public opinion.

There were also all of the wedding attendees to consider: from politicians to business moguls. The event was a fatal blow to his reputation that affected his image and decision-making power in the company.

Now Tang Yu had a migraine and had no clue what Bai Feifei’s att.i.tude toward him would be.

Tang Yu narrowed his eyes and a sharp glint flashed through his eyes, but he quickly gave up the idea. It would only make things more difficult if Bai Feifei’s mother suddenly died.

The most important thing was to not let Bai Feifei see her.

Tang Yu beckoned to the secretary. “Go and see Miss Bai. Don’t let her out of the ward and make sure the hospital drives all the reporters out. This is a hospital, not a newspaper agency.”

“Understood.”

When Bai Feifei woke up, she wanted to see her mother. She wanted to know the truth about what was going on.

Bai Feifei opened the door to see two security guards who stopped her from leaving. She immediately asked, “What are you doing?”

“Mr. Tang said that you were in poor health. You need more time to recover and are not to leave the ward,” the security guard replied in a professional manner.
