Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1144: If You Don’t Want Others to Know, Don’t Do It Yourself

Bai Hui walked into the venue and happened to see Sang Li surrounded by people in the center.

She picked up a glass of champagne from the side and slowly walked to the front of the crowd.

When someone noticed, they immediately made way for her.

Bai Hui’s current situation is awkward, and most people choose to avoid talking about it.

Seeing her, they only nod politely.

Bai Hui pretended not to see them and walked straight up to Sang Li.

"Mr. Sang, long time no see."

Sang Li turned and met her gaze.

He could see a hint of provocation in her eyes, as if to say, look, she still stands firmly in front of everyone.

Sang Li smiled faintly, raised his glass and said, "Indeed, it’s been a long time. But with President Bai being so busy lately, it’s understandable."

His words had a double meaning, exposing the thing Bai Hui least wanted others to know right in front of everyone.

Bai Hui kept her smile, and said casually, "After my child fell ill, I worried a lot. I thought she was fine, but she made a big mistake out of impatience. Mr. Sang, rest assured, I definitely won’t cover for her."

Sang Li responded slowly, "President Bai standing by righteousness even against family, it truly makes one see you in a new light."

For some reason, Bai Hui felt that Sang Li’s words still carried some hidden meaning.

But she couldn’t care less about that now.

"Speaking of which, I haven’t congratulated Mr. Sang. Such a big event as getting married, and you didn’t even notify everyone. Those who don’t know might think you don’t want us to know."

The surrounding people were indeed surprised and looked toward Sang Li.

Sang Li candidly admitted, "Indeed, I am married, but my wife prefers to keep a low profile, so it wasn’t made public."

Bai Hui seemed to be waiting for him to say that and smiled slightly, "Being a celebrity, how can one keep a low profile? Mr. Sang, are you planning to keep her hidden away?"

Sang Li looked at Bai Hui, "President Bai, I didn’t expect you’d still have time to be so concerned about me. I suppose I should thank you for helping me announce this good news."

Upon hearing this, someone stood up to inquire.

"Mr. Sang, is your wife a celebrity? Is she not the woman you previously pursued publicly?"

"Yes," Sang Li nodded.

"I haven’t heard of any young lady in the celebrity scene, except..."

As he spoke, he dared not continue because the young lady he referred to was none other than Bai Hui’s daughter.

Bai Hui felt a bit embarrassed but maintained outward composure.

Sang Li smiled, "My wife is Chu Yin, everyone should know her, and President Bai surely knows her better."

Bai Hui hadn’t expected Sang Li to admit it so readily.

She awkwardly smiled, "Her, indeed, I do know, just that..."

Her hesitant attitude was clearly meant to arouse others’ curiosity.

Sang Li lowered his head to sip champagne, not interrupting Bai Hui’s speech.

Someone asked, "President Bai, just what is it? I believe Mr. Sang’s judgment can’t be wrong."

Bai Hui deliberately glanced at Sang Li, pretending to be in a difficult position, "Looks like I spoke out of turn."

A moment later, those defending Bai Hui stood up.

They deliberately said, "President Bai, could it be there’s something about Chu Yin that Mr. Sang doesn’t know? You should certainly tell Mr. Sang."

Sang Li’s expression darkened and asked, "President Bai, I’m also very curious to know what you mean to say?"

"Mr. Sang, don’t misunderstand me, I mean nothing else," Bai Hui said, fixing her gaze on Sang Li, smirking, and added, "I’ve heard... Miss Chu may have done some not-so-good things."

"What kind?"

"She... has helped someone else by being pregnant for them. Mr. Sang, did you not know?" Bai Hui said in surprise.

Everyone was shocked.

It was surprising enough that Sang Li married Chu Yin.

Who would have thought that Chu Yin had ever been pregnant for someone else?

Everyone looked at Sang Li with strange eyes, as he was currently the most capable heir in Hai City.

If he married such a wife, others would think he had poor judgment.

No one wants to cooperate with someone who displays poor judgment.

Sang Li did not hastily refute and simply continued to calmly sip his champagne.

"President Bai, how come I didn’t know I was ever pregnant for someone else? Slander is illegal, you know."

Wearing a gown, Chu Yin slowly approached and hooked her arm in Sang Li’s.

Bai Hui was taken aback, not expecting Sang Li would bring Chu Yin to such an important event.

Moreover, being publicly refuted made Bai Hui feel extremely displeased.

She glanced at Chu Yin, scoffing slightly, "Miss Chu, it’s not like someone’s death can silence all evidence. If you want no one to know, then don’t do it in the first place. Moreover, do you dare say for whom you were pregnant?"

Chu Yin looked at Sang Li and smiled, "Who? I really can’t recall. Since President Bai knows so much, why not just say it openly?"

Bai Hui pursed her lips, "Miss Chu, actually, I think you should settle this matter privately."

"If I agree, does that not equate to confessing to this? I’m not that foolish. Since President Bai brought it up, it’s natural for President Bai to provide evidence, otherwise, everyone will think you’re slandering me, especially since your daughter is now caught for harming me."

Chu Yin knew Bai Hui’s thoughts; she was merely betting that Chu Yin was too guilty to confront Sang Li publicly.

To say the least, Bai Hui’s understanding of her was actually quite superficial.

It’s unknown whether it’s because these people underestimate women, even Bai Hui, who is a woman herself, is the same.

Bai Hui saw that Chu Yin remained unyielding and then subtly glanced at the Zhang Family in the distance.

She smiled, "Mr. Sang, since Miss Chu cares so little about your dignity, then let me speak frankly."

Sang Li sneered, "Are you threatening me? Then I’m even more curious what qualifications you have to say this."

"You... Fine, fine, you two are truly in love. In that case, Mr. Sang must not mind that Chu Yin had been pregnant with children for the Third Young Master and your sister, right? What’s your relationship now? Or does Mr. Sang have some unspeakable issues and wants to find Chu Yin for..."

As she spoke, Bai Hui’s eyes fixated on Chu Yin’s abdomen.

Such things only need to be insinuated; to spell them out would be ridiculous.

But to others, it sounds like a scandal of the Sang Family.

Previously, when Sang Ran suddenly passed away quietly, it triggered quite a stir in Hai City.

At that time, some rumors circulated saying Sang Ran wanted to leave a child for the Third Young Master of Jing City, so she worsened her condition and died.

Some even said Sang Ran found someone else to have a child with the Third Young Master on her behalf.

But when people tried to verify, Sang Ran had long been laid to rest, making verification impossible.

So it was taken as a joke that passed over time.

Now, Bai Hui spoke so confidently, making people overthink.

Could it be that Chu Yin was the one Sang Ran found at that time?

If so, marrying Sang Li would make the situation chaotic?

Chu Yin has witnessed the world alongside Lin Zhiyi and others; could such a few words cause her to crumble?

She squeezed Sang Li’s hand tightly, "President Bai, you are indeed strange. If there’s evidence, present it. One moment you’re talking about me, the next about my husband; surely you’re not here making baseless accusations without any evidence?"

Bai Hui didn’t expect Chu Yin could persist like this and laughed, "Evidence? Alright then, let me show everyone."
