From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 156 - Bai Lingling Apologizes
Chapter 156 -156 Bai Lingling Apologizes
Lu Yanchuan’s assault on the Bai Family did not cease with their retreat but instead intensified.
His intentions were clear; he wanted to get justice for Qiao Yi and compel Bai Lingling to apologize to her.
Bai Lingling stubbornly resisted initially, but as she watched the Bai Family’s assets being progressively squeezed, she could no longer hold her ground.
If she continued to refuse, the only path left for the Bai family would be bankruptcy.
To satisfy Lu Yanchuan further, the Bai Family specifically called a press conference.
“Due to personal reasons, I previously manipulated public opinion to spread false news about Miss Qiao Yi, causing severe damage to her reputation. For this, I sincerely apologize to Miss Qiao Yi here, hoping that she can forgive me…”
By the end, Bai Lingling was sobbing uncontrollably, looking extremely aggrieved.
It must be said that Bai Lingling knew how to utilize her strengths and maximize her advantages.
Her innocent and blameless appearance, paired with a pitiful demeanor, indeed touched the hearts of many with her emotive performance.
After Bai Lingling’s video went viral online, surprisingly, not many people thought she got what she deserved; instead, there was a chorus of praises for her.
“Are these people brain-dead? Just because this woman sheds a couple of tears and acts in front of a camera, so many think she’s innocent?”
Feng Siyu scrolled through the comments online, nearly driven to fury.
“Look at these disgusting comments! Saying Bai Lingling is simply naive, made a mistake unintentionally, and now that she has apologized you still won’t forgive her, lacking any compassion! It’s hilariously absurd! Would he feel sympathy for a biting vicious dog?”
Coarse in expression but not in logic, Qiao Yi wholeheartedly agreed with Feng Siyu’s words and supported her vehement response.
The more Feng Siyu read the comments, the angrier she became, wishing she could personally confront and thrash them.
As Qiao Yi swallowed her last grape, she snatched Feng Siyu’s phone away.
“If it makes you angry, then stop looking; no need to upset yourself. Look, I’m not even angry.”
“That’s because you’re heartless! You almost got publicly insulted, if I were you…”
Qiao Yi pounced to cover Feng Siyu’s mouth, dragging her up from the sofa and heading out.
Today, her visit to Feng Siyu was not just about these online issues; she had some serious matters to discuss!
“I know you’re capable, my ancestor, I have a job for you, are you interested?”
“What kind of job? Is it an ad for your company or endorsements? For those, you could have just told me directly, why bother coming to see me personally?”
Grumbling, Feng Siyu was pulled out by Qiao Yi, stuffed into a car, and taken away.
If it were a normal announcement from the Qiao Family, it wouldn’t be this complicated, but the catch was that this announcement was from the Sun Group.
To solidify Andy’s standing within the Sun Group, he needed a continuous stream of achievements. Given Qiao Yi’s current position within the Qiao Family, she could offer limited opportunities, hence she thought of Feng Siyu.
“So the person we’re meeting today is Sun Keke?”
“Correct, but she’s now reinvented herself as the person known as Andy.”
Feng Siyu knew some details about Andy, and knowing she would be collaborating with her piqued her curiosity.
“Isn’t your Third Young Master planning to undercut the Sun family? Why are you now helping the Sun family secure projects instead?”
“It’s too complicated to explain all the reasons; just know everything I’m doing has a purpose!”
Feng Siyu was non-committal, following Qiao Yi to the restaurant where they had arranged to meet Andy.
Regardless of the motive, when Qiao Yi made the request, Feng Siyu had no thoughts of refusal, knowing well that Qiao Yi wouldn’t harm her.
Qiao Yi introduced Feng Siyu to Andy, and the two striking women quickly formed an inexplicable friendship.
“So, you see, Yiyi is just too timid! Even when challenged directly, she still acts as if nothing happened!”
“Miss Qiao is indeed kind-hearted, but I think she might have other plans for this situation, right Miss Qiao?”
Faced with their combined gaze, Qiao Yi didn’t know how to respond.
Timid? Kind-hearted? Are they even talking about her?
“Cough, cough! Aren’t you two supposed to be discussing something important? I’ll leave you to it, then!”
Qiao Yi fled the scene. If she stayed any longer, there was no telling what they might do!
After Qiao Yi left, Feng Siyu and Andy eventually calmed down.
“Yiyi told me about the endorsement deal you’re handling, and I agree to take it on. Here’s my agent’s contact info; you can discuss the contract details with him.”
Though not a high-profile product line, the Sun Group’s brand was established enough to have a steady market presence in China. It was somewhat beneath Feng Siyu’s celebrity status, but for Qiao Yi’s sake, she agreed.
“We can put aside the endorsement for now; Miss Feng, wouldn’t you like to know about Miss Bai’s situation? As far as I know, she has certain ties with people from the Lu Family.”
“Since you have the information, why don’t you tell Yiyi yourself?”
Confronted with Feng Siyu’s probing look, Andy did not feel at all guilty or awkward but instead smiled naturally.

“Bai Lingling’s attention is all on Miss Qiao and Mr. Lu; sometimes things need to be done by us outsiders, don’t you think, Miss Feng?”
Andy was confident, not doubting for a moment that Feng Siyu would refuse, given her close relationship with Qiao Yi; she definitely wouldn’t allow the online crowd to slander Qiao Yi.
Indeed, Feng Siyu had no intention of refusing; she was actually curious to test Andy, to see her true intentions towards Qiao Yi.
Their private plotting was unnoticed by any third party, leaving Bai Lingling, completely unaware of the looming disaster, still complacent.
It was just a simple act, which had shifted the targeted situation for the Bai Family and even added trouble for Qiao Yi—killing two birds with one stone!
“You’re only provoking Lu Yanchuan with this; do you want to doom the Bai family?”
“I apologize as I should! What else do you want from me! Even if Lu Yanchuan is the omnipotent president of the Lu Family, he can’t be so relentless and unreasonable!”
Bai Lingling snapped back at her father’s accusations without hesitation and, not waiting for him to continue, grabbed her purse and stormed out.
Upon leaving the Bai household, Bai Lingling received a call from Lu Ming.
“Bai Lingling, I’ve bought the internet army you asked for to hype you up; when will you fulfill your promise?”
