Bai Xi'er originally thought that getting someone to take down the online posts would be enough, but she never expected the leaks to keep coming one after another. People she had secretly bullied in the past started coming forward, claiming she had mistreated them.
And they all presented their cases with solid evidence. After two days of escalation, Bai Xi'er had practically become a pariah at school, with everyone calling for her punishment. Some even jointly petitioned the school administration to expel her.
Because of these repercussions, Bai Xi'er stopped coming to school. A few days later, Bai Tang received news that Bai Xi'er had transferred to another school.
Bai Tang wasn't surprised by this.
After all, Bai Chengfeng was still the wealthiest man in Lingshan City; switching schools was a trivial matter for him. As for Bai Xi'er, Bai Tang had simply given her a taste of her own medicine. If Bai Xi'er stayed out of her way and behaved from now on, she wouldn't go any further.
A few days passed, and Zhang Xiaochu finally dragged himself out of the hospital.
During the last class, Bai Tang received a message from Bai Wu: Feng Zi had been discharged.
And he had already left Lingshan City.
The eldest son of the Feng family had personally come to pick him up.
After school that afternoon, Bai Tang had just stepped out of the campus gates when she spotted the car waiting nearby.
Once she got in, Bai Wu reported with a serious expression, "When Feng Yi left, he came to find me."
Bai Tang asked coldly, "What did he say?"
"He asked me to send his regards to you, and if you came back, to tell you to go home early," Bai Wu said. "He was probably trying to fish for information."
Bai Tang curled her lips into a sly smile. "Xiao Wu, you should buy a ticket and head back too."
Bai Wu was taken aback, then asked, "Miss, what do you want me to do?"
"Didn't he ask you to send his regards? Go back and tell him I'll be home soon." Bai Tang chuckled, then added, "Go prepare. I'll be back before long."
Bai Wu looked at her and could clearly sense the cold detachment in Bai Tang's demeanor.
A flicker of worry crossed Bai Wu's mind.
These past days, Bai Tang had been relaxed and carefree.
But today, that ease had vanished with the arrival and departure of the Feng family.
"I'll handle the Feng family, Miss. Focus on your college entrance exams first, and deal with this afterward."
Bai Tang gave a faint, indifferent smile. "We'll see. Drop me off at the club and then head back."
Throughout the ride, Bai Tang sat in silence, staring out the window without saying another word.
When the car reached the club, Bai Tang spoke up. "Take care of yourself. Contact me if anything comes up."
Bai Wu nodded, then reached out and gently ruffled Bai Tang's hair. Softly, he said, "Xiao Bai, during your time in Lingshan City, do whatever you want. Over there, I've got your back."
Bai Tang paused, then broke into a light grin. "Mm, I'll work on bringing that beauty home with me."
Bai Wu: "..."
"Mm... good luck." Bai Wu chuckled.
He watched Bai Tang get out of the car and stand steady, staring at her for a few seconds before driving off.
Bai Tang stood there, her gaze fixed on the direction Bai Wu had disappeared. The smile on her face slowly faded, replaced by a somber expression.
The road ahead wouldn't be easy.
Those people were all wolves in sheep's clothing, devouring others without a trace.
Bai Tang glanced down at the schoolbag in her hand and gave a slight smirk. For the upcoming exam, she'd give the big shot a surprise.
After all, the time she had left here was running out.
The three-hour tutoring session ended, and Bai Tang packed her bag, looking at Sheng Qi with a smile. "Teacher Sheng, want to walk me home?"
"Your bodyguard didn't show up?" Sheng Qi snorted, but he got up and grabbed his car keys anyway.
Bai Tang scurried after him, flashing a sweet grin as she casually flirted. "I only want you as my bodyguard. For life."
P.S.: Good night. Next Friday, the story will be going on the shelves. Will the mass release be far behind? Will the dog food be far behind? Are you ready for the flood of updates and sweet moments? (づ￣3￣)づ╭❤～
