Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Not my brother-in-law?

This is not possible!

Bai Xiaowei knew better than anyone that without his brother-in-law's connections, he wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed this time.

Since her father passed away, the only resource the Bai family has left is her brother-in-law.

Whether he can live a carefree life from now on will all depend on his brother-in-law.

If he really loses his brother-in-law, will he still have a good life in the future?

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaowei hurriedly asked, "Sister, what are you talking about? Did you have a fight with your brother-in-law?"

"Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is not what he used to be."

"Given the current situation of our Bai family, we are entirely relying on my brother-in-law to hold things together."

"If anything happens, you absolutely must not throw a tantrum at my brother-in-law."

"If you make my brother-in-law angry, you should apologize to him properly."

“My brother-in-law is the most magnanimous person; he could never really take it to heart.”

Hearing her younger brother speak up for Qin Zhiyuan, Bai Fengying was on the verge of tears. "You think I want to argue with her? It's obvious that he's the one who stepped on my head."

"Please come back soon! Qin Zhiyuan has gone mad. He'd rather quit his job than not divorce me!"

The noise on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, and Bai Wei's tone changed instantly, filled with disbelief and impatience, "What did you say? Divorce? Qin Zhiyuan? He's serious?"

Clearly, Qin Zhiyuan's reaction was unexpected by Bai Xiaowei.

In his memory, Qin Zhiyuan had always been the most obedient son-in-law in the Bai family.

Whenever something comes up to this brother-in-law, he never tries to shirk responsibility.

Arguing is possible, but as for divorce, how could Qin Zhiyuan dare to do that?

The reason why Qin Zhiyuan was able to wield such influence in Tianjing's social circles was because of his status as the son-in-law of the Bai family!

Without his status as the son-in-law of the Bai family, who would give him face?

Bai Fengying said, "That's right, it's true. He's already come clean with me, and we're going to draft the divorce agreement tomorrow."

"He moved out tonight and is now living in his company dormitory. We're officially separated!"

“Your brother-in-law also said that if I don’t agree to the divorce, your second uncle’s case and your job transfer will both fall through!”

Bai Xiaowei was stunned. Divorce? Was Qin Zhiyuan serious?

Although he knew this was extremely shocking, Bai Xiaowei understood his sister's personality and knew she wouldn't make things up without reason.

In particular, his job transfer procedures have all been completed, and now he is just waiting for the public announcement before he can take office.

As for this so-called public announcement, Bai Xiaowei believes it's just a formality.

For this reason, he even boasted that he would be transferred to Beijing after the holiday.

If this plan falls through, not only will he lose his promising future, but many people in his former workplace will also laugh at him.

It is said that after his father passed away, the Bai family could no longer maintain its dignity.

The matter of the second uncle was even more complicated. After the father passed away, the second uncle became the highest-ranking elder in the Bai family.

Although it's not a powerful department and is about to be relegated to the second line, it is still the face and brand of the Bai family.

If Second Uncle really falls from power, then the Bai family will truly have no one to uphold its dignity.

In other words, his sister's divorce is not just a matter of his job, but also a matter of the reputation of the entire Bai family!

After a moment of silence, Bai Xiaowei tentatively asked, "Sister, did you do something that crossed my brother-in-law's bottom line, forcing him to divorce you?"

Bai Fengying retorted angrily, "What do you mean I crossed his line? It's clearly him who crossed mine!"

Bai Xiaowei understood, "Sis, does Qin Zhiyuan have another woman on the side?"

Bai Xiaowei's thinking was simple: apart from women, there shouldn't be any other reason for his sister to be so furious.

Qin Zhiyuan has always been diligent and has no bad habits. Apart from women, there should be nothing that would make him cross the line.

Bai Fengying didn't respond; given her proud nature, this was too embarrassing.

Bai Xiaowei guessed the cause and effect, and first cursed Qin Zhiyuan a couple of times, "Qin Zhiyuan is such a bastard, he has no conscience at all. Back when he was in Handong, he was nothing."

"He came from a peasant background and was not appreciated by his superiors. He only knew how to investigate cases in his own hands, and no one respected him."

"It was a stroke of luck for him to gain his sister's favor, which led to his transfer back to Tianjing and helped him smoothly enter the ministry."

"Even if he's very capable, isn't he still relying on the resources of our Bai family?"

"If he weren't the son-in-law of the Bai family, how could he have climbed so high?"

"That bastard, instead of repaying the debt of gratitude, he even dares to have affairs with other women."

"Don't worry, sis, I'll definitely settle the score with him later and get justice for you!"

Hearing this, Bai Fengying felt reassured. Although she was the eldest sister, she was still a woman and naturally at a disadvantage when dealing with such matters.

"Xiaowei, your older sister's love for you wasn't for nothing."

“Now that Dad has passed away, you are the only man left in our Bai family. With such a shameful thing happening, I can’t complain to the other uncles and elders in the Bai family. So you have to come back and seek justice for my eldest sister.”

Bai Xiaowei nodded, "Big sister, definitely!"

"However, elder sister, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

Bai Fengying seemed to have guessed something, and asked with a dark face, "What do you want to say?"

Bai Xiaowei swallowed hard, softening his tone even more, even with a hint of cautious probing, "Sister, I know you've suffered a tremendous injustice. Anyone would be furious in this situation."

"But we have to look at the long term; now is not the time to be angry."

After a pause, hearing that Bai Fengying on the other end of the phone didn't immediately refute him, Bai Xiaowei continued, "Think about it, after Dad passed away, the Bai family's influence in Tianjing's social circles has long since diminished."

"Those uncles and elders are all polite on the surface, but behind our backs, who isn't eyeing the resources we have?"

"Qin Zhiyuan is a big shot in the ministry now. So many people have to be careful what they do. The reason our Bai family can keep things stable is because of his title as our 'son-in-law'."

"If we really get divorced, do you think those people who used to fawn over us will still treat us well?"

"The project I tried to get through someone last month, they openly said 'it depends on Minister Qin's opinion.' Without Qin Zhiyuan, I wouldn't even have a chance!"

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly reducing Bai Fengying's anger by more than half.

Her fingers, gripping the phone, turned white, but she didn't immediately erupt in anger like before. All that could be heard on the other end of the line was her rapid breathing. "Are you telling me to swallow my anger?"

"I'm telling you, it's impossible! I, Bai Fengying, have never suffered such injustice in my entire life!"

"I'll tolerate that vixen's existence only if I'm dead!"

"At that time, it will be Qin Zhiyuan's freedom to be with whomever he wants!"
