Chapter 14, the mastermind

As Ba Qi, she had lived for the Bai family and for her mother. But now, she lived only for herself. She was not at the mercy of anyone and could come and go as she pleased. Now as Gu Ruouchu, she had finally broken free from that cage.

Everything had changed, and this time, she would come out on top.

Gu Ruochu's name would one day shock the entire nation. She would once again emerge as a darling in the entertainment industry. This was because she had begun another life filled with legendary colors.

Bai Qi had planned her trip to Times Square ahead of time. She knew that Bai Mo would attend the ceremony. As Bai Qi's father, he naturally had to put on an act for his son's memorial service.

Of course, Bai Mo was not the only one who attended the memorial. His current wife, Bai Qi's stepmother, Xu Ling, was also present. The smile on Gu Ruochu's face disappeared when she saw this woman. She stared at the two of them with a sharp and vicious gaze.

A year ago, she was forced into the black prison by Bai Mo and his b * tch. Xu Ling was the cause of her mother's death. After her father started dating her, he had accused Bai Qi's mother of being a mistress.

The square had a sorrowful atmosphere. Bai Mo, who had "lost his beloved son," spoke, "I never thought it would be mourning his death. A year ago, he suddenly told me he would temporarily retire from the entertainment industry. He had been in the industry for ten years and had brought us a lot of classical music that will not be surpassed. I thought he was just tired and wanted to rest, but who would have thought..."

At the end of his speech, Bai Mo sobbed.

Gu Ruochu's had a sarcastic look on her face when it was her stepmother's turn to address the gathering. "Bai Qi's mother gave him to me in the past, begging me to take good care of her child. Now that Bai Qi has run into an accident, I really can't explain it to his mother..."

Xu Ling sobbed on stage, unable to speak. She appeared pitiful, causing the fans below the stage to sigh endlessly.

The fans all knew that Bai Qi was an illegitimate child. However, this news had only been leaked a year ago, when Bai Qi had retired. After the reveal, some fans had turned against her.

A mistress was a disgusting and smelly thing in everyone's eyes.

The current Madam Bai had been willing to accept Bai Qi and had even raised him up because she was magnanimous.

Gu Ruochu watched the husband and wife act as the look in her eyes grew colder and colder. She did not expect that in just a year's time, the real mistress, Xu Ling, would be made to look so pure by Bai Mo.

Now that her mother had been killed by Xu Ling, she had nothing to worry about.

They knew how to twist the truth. How was it so easy for her to be a mistress and convince everyone that she was Madam Bai?

Xu Ling probably never imagined that Bai Qi would crawl out of hell and reclaim her life. Her one-year stay in the black prison had caused her so much pain that she had wished she could die.

She was Bai Mo's child, yet Bai Mo had sent his own daughter into a sea of fire for the sake of this slut. He did not act like a father at all. Now, she wanted these people to pay with blood.

The memorial service in Times Square ended. Gu Ruochu watched as Xu Ling and Bai Mo left in the opposite direction.

Xu Ling returned to the hotel where she had temporarily stayed. This hotel belonged to the Bai family. As soon as she arrived, an attendant greeted her respectfully. "Madam, this way, please. I've already sent someone to prepare lunch and the car."

After being escorted to the VIP room, Xu Ling sat down and looked at her beautiful face in the mirror. She smiled smugly. Back then, when she was plotting to send that bastard Bai Qi to the black prison, she had deliberately rolled down the stairs. After framing Bai Qi, she incited Bai Mo's anger so much that he had sent Bai Qi to the black prison. He then told the public that his son had temporarily retired from the entertainment industry for a year.

That bastard should have died a long time ago. The Bai family should have belonged to her, and the child in her belly.
