Jiang Baiwan sighed and reached out to touch her nose, still feeling a bit regretful. “But if I don’t watch it now, I may not have such an opportunity next time, after all—”

Before she could finished her sentence, she heard a man’s screams and a woman’s laughter coming from the room, as well as the voices of many others. Jiang Baiwan vaguely heard words along the lines of “wet the bed” and “take a picture quickly”. What followed was chaos.

Jiang Baiwan was absolutely itching with curiosity, but her right hand was firmly grasped by Ji Chen. She said anxiously, “Did you hear that? Gu Dongcheng seems to have peed! Hurry up ah, let me go and check it out!”

Ji Chen’s face seemed to turn darker. “No, come with me.” What a joke, how could Jiang Baiwan watch Gu Dongcheng wet the bed?!

In the end, Jiang Baiwan was still dragged away by Ji Chen and she didn’t see the whole debacle. Jiang Baiwan kept brooding about it and even remembered this matter until lunch.

“You’re that eager to see him make a fool of himself?” Tan Mi thought it was funny. “Even I, the actress, wasn’t that anxious, but you, a spectator, can’t wait.”

Jiang Baiwan nodded and still couldn’t forget the good show just now. “Such opportunity doesn’t come around often. When will you get to see a president wetting the bed like that?

“But after all, that’s still Ji Chen’s brother-in-law.” Tan Mi looked at Ji Chen sitting not far away. “You’re laughing like this in front of someone’s brother-in-law, aren’t you afraid that Mr. President will get upset and give you some trouble?”

Jiang Baiwan’s gloating smile stiffened. “That can’t be…… He’s involved in our plan. Impossible, I’m just goofing around…… Can you stop scaring me?”

“That’s hard to say.” Tan Mi was intent on scaring Jiang Baiwan. “The thinking of these wealthy people is incomprehensible. You wouldn’t know.”

Jiang Baiwan pursed her lips, and then looked at Tan Mi sincerely. “In fact, I’m also a wealthy person. Do you find my thinking difficult to understand? I have a full savings of 8 million, that’s enough money.”

Tan Mi smoothly shoved diced beef into Jiang Baiwan’s mouth. “You’d better speak less.”

“Even so, I want to see the scene.” Jiang Baiwan chewed the beef in her mouth, still no remorse at all. “Don’t you want to see the husband and wife confronting each other?”

“Unfortunately, we didn’t confront each other.” Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from behind the two of them. “To be precise, I carried out the beating unilaterally.”

Jiang Baiwan looked back and saw a woman with mid-length hair in a suit walking towards them. Facing their gazes, the woman casually stroked her hair and unceremoniously sat down beside Jiang Baiwan. “Jiang Baiwan, I didn’t know that after going bankrupt, your personality has become a lot cuter.”

Jiang Baiwan suddenly froze. She looked at the woman next to her and showed a standard smile. “Is that so?”

The person who came was none other than Ji Chen’s sister and Gu Dongcheng’s wife, Ji Ying.

“Yeah.” Ji Ying didn’t notice Jiang Baiwan’s stiffness. She raised her hand and called the waiter to bring another glass. “I’ve heard Ji Chen say everything that happened today was caused by you, right?”

Jiang Baiwan couldn’t grasp Ji Ying’s intention for a while. “……Yes.”

Ji Ying nodded and said simply, “Great, thank you. Sure enough, I overestimated Gu Dongcheng. I originally thought that although he’s a scumbag, he still had some brain, but now it seems that even this simple honey trap can fool him. With the passing years, his brain has also regressed.”

“You did well.” Ji Ying inclined her head with a smile in her eyes. “And you, Miss Tan, thank you for putting on such a performance.”

Tan Mi waved her hand. She wasn’t surprised at all. “I’ve put on makeup on my face so he won’t be able to tell who I am…… He probably didn’t have the time to look for me right now, but will he retaliate against me in the future?”

Ji Ying pursed her lips. “Of course he won’t have the time. The photos you took before, plus the photos I just took myself was a huge disaster for Gu Dongcheng, enough for me take away some important companies and shares he owns.”

“I’ve endured humiliation for so many years, isn’t it so that I can get some key companies?” Ji Ying sighed. “I was wrong. I thought he’s smart so I’ve been entangling with him for a long time. If I had known…… I would have acted simpler and cruder.”

Jiang Baiwan was a bit perplexed. “What do you mean? I’m confused.”

Ji Ying looked at her and finally reached out to pinch her face. “It’s all right, you don’t need to understand. This is not the important thing. You just need to know that you’ve done the Ji family a big favor.”

After saying that, Ji Ying used her eyes to indicate to her younger brother who was not far away to sit still and not come over. After receiving Ji Ying’s message, Ji Chen, who was about to get up just now, could only continue to sit helplessly in the same place.

Ji Ying looked at Jiang Baiwan again. She cocked her head in thought for a while, and then hooked her fingers at Jiang Baiwan. Jiang Baiwan obediently moved over as Ji Ying leaned into Jiang Baiwan’s ear and whispered, “I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask me.”

After that, Ji Ying exchanged a few words with Tan Mi again before getting up and leaving in a lively manner. Looking at Ji Ying’s retreating figure, Jiang Baiwan couldn’t help muttering to herself, “What did she come here for……?”

“She came to thank you, can’t you tell?” Tan Mi sighed and she also stood up. “This was quite an exciting time in a spa hotel. I don’t really want to have this kind of experience again.”

Jiang Baiwan couldn’t help laughing. “But it’s not so much a loss as a gain, is it?”

After Jiang Baiwan returned to her Malatang shop, it took a long time before she understood why Ji Ying dared to say that she owed her a favor so readily.

Following his social death at the spa hotel, Gu Dongcheng seemed to have disappeared from the public’s view, and after operating steadily for some time, the Gu family’s business suddenly began to go downhill.

As if they had made a secret agreement, many competitors began to combine their efforts to carve up the industries that the Gu family had touched upon, including some that were mostly monopolized by the Gu family. The Gu family was unable to defeat four hands with two fists at once, but during the confrontation, the Gu family, for whatever reason, showed a hint of timidity.

Over time, the Gu family’s shares fell sharply, and in a short period, many industries were gobbled up and divided by other peers.

It might have been because he was stimulated by this situation, but Gu Dongcheng started to let go and do some actions without any scruples anymore. It took a certain period of time to save some of the situation, but under such circumstances, a shocking news suddenly broke out from gossip entertainment marketing accounts—— Gu Dongcheng, the president of the Gu Group, and his wife, Ji Ying, were officially divorced!

As Gu Dongcheng usually acted in a high profile manner, when this kind of news appeared, it attracted a lot of attention. What the general public saw was a joke, but what some people in the industry saw was the split between the Ji and the Gu family.

At the same time, some people have received rumors through the grapevine that the reason for the Gu family’s willingness to divorce was that the Ji family had bought back all the shares of the Haochen Group in the hands of the Gu family.

He wasn’t even able to maintain the marriage relationship anymore. It seems that Gu Dongcheng couldn’t last longer than people imagined. For a while, many people talked about it, and the families that were originally planning to wait and see the situation, all joined in attacking the Gu family after this matter.

Now the opponent’s power was getting stronger and stronger, and no matter how amazing Gu Dongcheng was, he couldn’t stop everyone from targeting him. The Gu family’s group seemed isolated and helpless. All large-scale plans were forcefully interrupted, and some problems also appeared within the Gu family—— Gu Dongcheng wasn’t the only one with ambitions in the Gu family.

Gu Dongcheng still did not admit defeat at this time. He accepted an interview from a media outlet. During the interview, Gu Dongcheng not only maintained his image of a domineering president, but also showed his nostalgia and love for his ex-wife, and his image as a wonderful man gained ground.

Many people began to sympathize with Gu Dongcheng, and because of his excellent appearance, the Gu family’s business showed some slight signs of recovery, which allowed Gu Dongcheng to have some respite…..

But just when Gu Dongcheng thought that everything would turn around, Ji Ying delivered the final blow—— She gave all the photos taken at the spa hotel to gossip accounts.

Previously, although Ji Ying and Gu Dongcheng’s divorce caused some stir, it wasn’t as hot as it was now. It’s just that when these photos of Gu Dongcheng were released, Weibo was instantly overwhelmed that night. Overnight, everyone was discussing Gu Dongcheng and his strange hobbies. The shares of the Gu family plummeted and Gu Dongcheng’s image as a good man was completely overturned. Now he seems like a street rat where anyone can shout “beat him”.

All of these things happened within a very short period of time. When Jiang Baiwan discovered that her masterpiece had appeared on Weibo, she realized that Gu Dongcheng was over and that the Gu family had also reached such a situation.

……It can be seen that Ji Ying really hates Gu Dongcheng, as this step was sure to screw him to death.

Karma, this kind of thing, whether it was in the previous life or this life, was the same. Jiang Baiwan scrolled Weibo and upon seeing the photos of Gu Dongcheng tied up, couldn’t help but also laughed—— There’s no need to say that Gu Dongcheng’s figure was quite good, it’s just that his personality was really awful.

At this moment, Jiang Baiwan received a text message. She opened it and burst out laughing. The person who sent the text message was Ji Ying and there was only a short sentence—— The scumbag must die.
