After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

With the official apology from the Jiang Group and Jiang Baizhi, everyone initially thought the incident would gradually subside. However, the situation developed unexpectedly. Instead of calming down, it intensified. This incident was like a powerful fuse. After this, the Jiang family in Hai City began to gradually decline, and its once prominent status began to plummet.

At that moment, after issuing her apology, Jiang Baizhi sat in her room like a soulless body. She couldn't believe that Zhao Guangbai had given up on her so easily. With trembling hands, she took out her phone and dialed the number she knew by heart.

"Hello, Xiaozhi..." The phone was picked up almost instantly, and the familiar voice slowly flowed into Jiang Baizhi's ears like a warm current.

"Guangbai, I...you..." Jiang Baizhi's voice became intermittent due to sobbing. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them. Then, she took a deep breath and asked with all her strength: "Guangbai, do you really not want me anymore?"

"How is that possible? I didn't issue that statement. My father issued it without my permission. How could I possibly want to give up on you?" Zhao Guangbai gently comforted Jiang Baizhi on the other end of the phone.

"I know, I know you won't abandon me!" Jiang Baizhi said excitedly, her voice full of trust and dependence on Zhao Guangbai.

"Xiaozhi, where are you now? I'm worried about you. I'm coming to find you right now."

"I, I'm at home now. My parents won't let me go out. They just want me to stay at home... They are blaming me..."

"Just wait, I'll come and take you away!" Zhao Guangbai said firmly. After that, he put down the phone and rushed to the Jiang family compound to look for Jiang Baizhi.

Jiang Baizhi's mood brightened instantly when she heard Zhao Guangbai say he was coming to take her away. Although everything else was lost, she still had Zhao Guangbai, her fiancé. She knew that this was her last resort, and she had to hold on to him tightly.

"Ding-ling-ling... Ding-ling-ling..." A crisp telephone ring suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.

Jiang Baizhi jumped up from her seat as if under a spell and answered the phone at lightning speed: "Hello, Guangbai!"

"I'm here, Xiaozhi, come downstairs!"

"Yeah, okay, I'm coming!" Jiang Baizhi responded quickly. After hanging up the phone, she couldn't wait to run downstairs.

"Guangbai!" Jiang Baizhi saw Zhao Guangbai waiting downstairs at a glance. She ran over and threw herself into his arms.

Zhao Guangbai hugged Jiang Baizhi tightly, his eyes full of doting. He gently raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Jiang Baizhi's eyes. Looking at her pitiful expression, his heart ached like a knife. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Jiang Baizhi stay in the Jiang family. He must take her away from all this. He looked at Jiang Baizhi affectionately and said, "No, Xiaozhi, I can't let you stay in the Jiang family. I'm worried. Come with me!"

"Guangbai!" Jiang Baizhi looked at him in surprise, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Xiaozhi, let's go!" Zhao Guangbai took Jiang Baizhi's hand and took her away from the Jiang family firmly.

In the gorgeous Zhao family villa, when Zhao Guangbai held Jiang Baizhi's hand tightly and solemnly stated his decision with an extremely firm attitude and no intention of retreating, Zhao's mother felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Marriage? Of course, marriage is good! But her son, who had such a bright future and was so outstanding, actually said he wanted to marry Jiang Baizhi? This was really hard for Zhao's mother to accept. She could never have imagined that things would develop to this point.

You know, before those scandals appeared, Jiang Baizhi was deeply loved by her. She was the most famous lady in Hai City, with unlimited prospects. She was also the child she had watched grow up, and she knew everything about her. The two of them were a perfect match. However, she never expected that Jiang Baizhi would be such a girl. During this period, Jiang Baizhi's ridiculous behavior not only made her notorious, but also implicated many people. Because of Jiang Baizhi, many people are now waiting to see the jokes of their Jiang and Zhao families. But what about Zhao Guangbai? Not only did he not think about how to distance himself from the matter openly, he even wanted to marry her home? This really made Zhao's mother feel extremely shocked and unbelievable.

"No! Absolutely not!" Mother Zhao, who always appeared kind and gentle, now had an attitude as tough as an indestructible rock.

"Mom?" Zhao Guangbai looked at his mother, who was so strongly opposed, in astonishment. He couldn't understand why his mother was so adamantly opposed. In his memory, hadn't his mother always praised Xiaozhi? She had always hoped that Xiaozhi would become the daughter of the Zhao family. But now, he wanted to marry Xiaozhi home. Wasn't that fulfilling his mother's wish?

"Mom, you have watched Xiaozhi grow up since she was a child. She is really a very good girl. And I love her. We are already engaged, and getting married is just a matter of time. I love her, and I can't wait to make her my wife!" Zhao Guangbai looked at his mother firmly and spoke his heart out excitedly. He hoped that this would convince his mother.

"Besides, you can also have another daughter, another person to take care of you. Isn't that good?"

"Your engagement has been cancelled! The announcement has already been made! It doesn't count!" Zhao's mother said firmly, "I absolutely will not agree to this. Neither your father nor I will agree to this!"

"Mom!" Zhao Guangbai cried out. His family's opposition didn't deter him in the slightest; instead, it only strengthened his resolve. He stared directly at his gloomy parents, his eyes filled with determination and perseverance. He resolutely and decisively stated his decision, "Mom, Dad, no matter how much you object, I have to say this: I love Xiaozhi, and I will marry her in this life! I want her to be my wife now! My mind is made up, and I won't waver!"

"Guangbai..." Jiang Baizhi's gaze fell gently on Zhao Guangbai. She looked at him affectionately. This man could fight against his family so firmly for her. How could she not be moved?

"Guangbai, if you still insist on marrying Jiang Baizhi at this moment, then I ask you to resign from your position as president of the Zhao Group and leave the Zhao family. We can't let the foundation of the Zhao family be damaged because of you! The previous dispute with the Bai family for land has already caused us to lose a lot of customers, and now you want to marry this notorious woman, then you have no choice but to leave the Zhao family!" Zhao's father, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said in a serious and firm tone.

"Dad! How could you do this? You are obviously forcing me!" Zhao Guangbai said emotionally, his eyes full of disbelief and pain.

"Dad?" Zhao Chenxiang, who was standing aside, was also stunned by his father's words.

"I don't want this to happen either, son. But you have lost your mind for this woman! I can't watch the Zhao family ruined in my generation!" Zhao's father continued, his voice full of helplessness and worry. He looked at his son, his heart full of pain and struggle.

"Guangbai...you, I'd better leave. I can't let you be separated from my uncle and aunt because of me...I really don't want you to have such a conflict because of me...I..." Jiang Baizhi said to Zhao Guangbai with tears in her eyes and reluctance.

"No, Xiaozhi, I won't leave you. My feelings for you are unwavering, and no one can separate us!" Zhao Guangbai held Jiang Baizhi's hand tightly and said affectionately, his eyes full of determination and persistence.

However, before Zhao Guangbai could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps. A panicked servant rushed in and asked anxiously, "Sir, Madam, there are reporters outside the door now. What should we do?"

"What? Why are they here?" Father Zhao widened his eyes in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

"It seems... the eldest young master brought Miss Jiang here, and they were photographed by the reporters, so they all rushed over," the servant stammered, a hint of fear in her voice. Her words were like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's hearts, plunging everyone present into a state of deep shock and panic.

After hearing the servant's words, Father Zhao slowly stood up, walked to the window, and peered out. He saw a swarm of reporters swarming outside his house, a scene that truly shocked him. He gave a bitter smile, shook his head helplessly, and gestured for the servant to leave. At this point, he no longer needed to consult the newspapers to confirm the impact of this incident; everything before him had already made him clearly aware of its seriousness.

Their group had just issued a statement severing ties with the Zhao family and canceling the engagement, when the young master of the Zhao family took the young lady of the Jiang family home. This instant slap in the face undoubtedly put the Zhao family in an extremely embarrassing situation. And then, the Zhao family faced a huge crisis in the stock market.

"Zhao Guangbai! Jiang Baizhi! Look at the troubles you have caused. This is simply driving our Zhao family to death!" Zhao's father said angrily.

"Dad, we really didn't. We were very careful to avoid the crowd when we came here. How could it be..."

"Avoid? Do you know how many people are watching our two families at this time? And you went to her so blatantly. Tell me, what's wrong with you? Ah! Have you ever considered the future of the Zhao family?"

"Dad, what should we do now? How should we deal with this difficult situation?" Zhao Chenxiang also saw the terrifying scene outside. Her face was full of fear, and she asked her father in a trembling voice.

"What should we do? What else can we do? Now we can only call the police and ask them to leave here quickly." Father Zhao frowned and said solemnly, his eyes revealing deep worry.

Qu Qingdai drove to the place agreed upon by her friend. She got out of the car gracefully and, led by the waiter, walked with light steps to the door of the reserved private room.

Qu Qingdai gently pushed open the door and saw her friend who had been waiting inside. A faint smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "Cinnabar, long time no see."

Zhu Sha raised her head and glanced at Qu Qingdai. Her eyes curved slightly in a smile, like a crescent moon, but her tone was deliberately sour as she said, "It's really rare, Qingdai, that you still remember an old friend like me. I really thought you were so bewildered by someone that you had forgotten me."

Qu Qingdai and Zhu Sha were best friends in high school, spending many wonderful years together. Although they each pursued different ideals and went to different universities after graduation, their deep friendship remained unchanged.

Hearing Zhu Sha's deliberately teasing tone, Qu Qingdai couldn't help but laugh and shook her head. Her gentle voice rang out, "How dare I? Even if I forget someone, I can't forget you, the great reporter Zhu." At this point, a gentle smile appeared on Qu Qingdai's face. She quietly looked at Zhu Sha, who sat across from her with a leisurely look on her face, and then casually revealed a very explosive piece of news: "But you're right, I am indeed bewitched by my husband."

Qu Qingdai's words startled Zhu Sha, who was elegantly sipping her coffee, and she nearly spit it out. After finally swallowing her coffee, Zhu Sha put down the cup and said in surprise, "What? Husband? You're married? When did you get married? You've been abroad for the past few years. Did you get tricked by some foreigner? You're so young and you're actually married!?"

"No, this is a decision I made after careful consideration." Qu Qingdai did not tell her friends about her flash marriage with Su Jingmo, as she was worried that her friends would not be able to accept it.

"Really? Is he handsome? If he's not, I won't recognize him. You're such a beautiful woman, you can't stick it in cow dung!"

"What are you talking about? Of course he's incredibly handsome!"

"Wow! Married women are really different. When did our cold and beautiful lady start joking?"

"Hahahaha..." The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

"By the way, I asked you out this time because I really want to thank you for the information you provided me. You can't imagine that the eldest young master of the Zhao family loves Jiang Baizhi so deeply. Not long after the Zhao Group issued a statement, he couldn't wait to run to meet Jiang Baizhi. This is really big news. With this news, I don't have to worry about my performance this year!" Zhu Sha said happily with a smile on his face.

"I was just guessing. After all, their relationship has always been so good, hasn't it? I didn't expect my guess to be right. It's a lucky blunder. Who could have imagined they'd be so anxious?" Qu Qingdai smiled back, her face radiating relief. Deep down, she knew their relationship was indeed strong. At least in his past life, Zhao Guangbai had lavishly lavished a hundred million yuan wedding for Jiang Baizhi, a global sensation. Even after their wedding, news of their affection reached her from far away abroad. If that wasn't love, what else could it be? But in this life, she had just exploited it. After reading the Zhao Group's statement, she was certain this was not Zhao Guangbai's intention. He would definitely make his position clear to Jiang Baizhi, and Jiang Baizhi's subsequent apology made her guess that Zhao Guangbai would be deeply anxious, and he would undoubtedly find Jiang Baizhi. She had merely provided Zhu Sha with a clue.

"Oh, I still have to thank you. If it weren't for the information you provided, I really wouldn't have thought of this. By the way, what kind of relationship do you have with the Jiang family now?" Zhu Sha asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Just like I said in the variety show, we have severed ties. So, the Jiang family, Jiang Baizhi, and even the Jiang Group have nothing to do with me anymore." Qu Qingdai said calmly.

"That's good, this way you can stay completely out of it. I was worried that you would be involved." Zhu Sha said with relief.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qu Qingdai responded with a smile.

"Hahaha, okay, then I'll treat you to the meal. Thank you, Miss Qu, for coming to have dinner with a little girl like me." Zhu Sha said with a hearty smile.

"Hahaha, then I'd like to thank Miss Zhu!" Qu Qingdai also laughed happily. The atmosphere between the two was relaxed and happy, filled with laughter.
