Reborn to outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight

Chapter 1140: Collapse

Bai Hui looked at her anxious son, then calmly sat down.

"I have no other choice."

"Mom! That’s Shutong, your biological daughter! Are you planning to just push me out next time something happens to me?"

"Yes."

Bai Hui nodded without hesitation, and there was no guilt in her eyes as she looked at Zhang Jia.

Zhang Jia stood there in disbelief.

Bai Hui took a deep breath: "Are you satisfied with this answer? You are the eldest son of the Zhang Family, and you have the responsibility to maintain the Zhang Family. Now that there’s trouble, your sister should bear her responsibility."

Zhang Jia shouted: "But Shutong didn’t make the move, it was you who did it."

"Does it make a difference? Even if I didn’t make the move, Chu Yin would have died. She was just lucky to be saved by someone," Bai Hui said indifferently.

"Mom, why have you become like this? Why do you keep targeting Chu Yin? If it weren’t for your constant hatred towards Chu Yin, Shutong would never have targeted her. Is it because... of the Bai Family?"

Zhang Jia initially didn’t want to bring up the Bai Family.

In fact, he himself was unwilling to accept that he was part Bai Family.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hui responded irritably, "What do you mean? Master has treated you well over the years, and this is how you repay him?"

"Mom! Stop it, the Bai Family is criminal..."

Smack.

Before Zhang Jia could finish, his face was slapped to the side.

He held his cheek and looked at Bai Hui: "Mom, you hit me?"

"Shouldn’t you be hit? This Zhang Family is under my control. If it weren’t for me, a Bai Family person, where would today’s Zhang Family be? As long as I nod, what’s stopping Zhang Family from becoming Bai Family?"

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Jia, ignoring the pain in his face, grabbed Bai Hui.

Bai Hui snorted coldly: "I should have done this long ago. Whether it’s Zhang Family or Bai Family, I have my skills and connections. Why can’t I walk my own path?"

"..."

Zhang Jia was at a loss for words.

Bai Hui raised her eyes: "I know what you’re thinking. I advise you not to dream. Ever since your father died, everyone has shunned us. You can only be with me now, or you’ll be crushed by those people."

Zhang Jia recalled the past; it was indeed Bai Hui who held everything together.

It was Bai Hui who gave him and his sister everything they wanted.

Otherwise, without their father and paternal support, orphans like them would have been kicked out long ago.

Zhang Jia pursed his lips: "Mom, what exactly do you want to do?"

Bai Hui took a deep breath and looked out the window.

"I want the Bai Family to revive."

"Mom!"

"Shut up, I know what you want to say. Master gave me everything. I can’t let the Bai Family be destroyed. The Bai Family will always exist, and Sang Li cannot destroy it."

"But... the Bai Family has already been dismantled. People now steer clear of those two words. How will you revive the Bai Family?" Zhang Jia persuaded.

Bai Hui paced.

"Do you really think the Bai Family is that easy to destroy? Human hearts are always greedy. As long as there is enough benefit, they are eager to cooperate."

"..."

Zhang Jia was silent.

Bai Hui looked at him and smiled: "What’s wrong? Afraid of trouble? Do you know why I haven’t given the company to you over the years?"

Zhang Jia also wanted to know, so he asked, "Why?"

"Because you are too indecisive. You always think that staying behind a computer can solve everything. In reality? Your sister gets into trouble, and you don’t have the courage to help. All you do is call me to handle it. If you care so much about her, you could have driven to rescue Chu Yin. You know well that because of Chu Yin and Sang Li, we, the mother and children, lost the Bai Family’s support, which led to our current predicament."

Bai Hui spoke so bluntly.

It made Zhang Jia feel a little humiliated.

Bai Hui retorted: "Do you still have to ask? Why not comfort your sister and let her behave herself inside? It will be good for both you and me."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Jia still agreed.

"I will go."

...

Police station.

Zhang Jia sat in the car for a long time before getting out.

After explaining the situation, the police took him to see Zhang Shutong.

Zhang Shutong, after experiencing ups and downs, curled up in the corner, mentally broken.

Zhang Jia felt compassion and approached: "Shutong, it’s me, your brother."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shutong looked up with bloodshot eyes and immediately threw herself into Zhang Jia’s arms.

"Brother, save me."

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared, it will be over soon," Zhang Jia comforted.

Zhang Shutong was stunned, looking at Zhang Jia with disbelief.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"Mom has already told me everything. Shutong, you are now considered to have surrendered, and can be dealt with leniently. But if you insist on pulling others in, no one will be able to save you." Zhang Jia hinted.

Zhang Shutong let go of him and shrunk back into the corner.

"Even you have given up on me?"

"Shutong, this matter was initially your fault. Why did you go and kidnap Chu Yin? If it wasn’t for this incident, you wouldn’t be like this now," Zhang Jia said.

Zhang Shutong sneered: "You blame me? You actually blame me? Didn’t you all want to kill Chu Yin? Was this my sole mistake?"

Zhang Jia glanced at the door and quickly walked over to sit beside Zhang Shutong.

"Shutong, I know it’s hard for you to swallow this, but mom has already decided to take over the entire Zhang Family. Once she has more power, she can save you easily. You just need to behave well inside."

"No, I absolutely won’t go to jail." Zhang Shutong shook her head.

"Shutong, have you forgotten? We promised dad that we would keep the Zhang Family safe."

Thinking of her father, Zhang Shutong’s heart hesitated.

When her father died, his body was covered in blood, that scene she would never forget.

That man who would carry her on his shoulders was the one who loved her most in this life.

Zhang Shutong shed tears and nodded: "Alright, I agree. I will be reformed. I won’t disgrace the Zhang Family."

Zhang Jia sighed in relief.

Little did they know, their conversation had been overheard by the police at the door.

He turned to report the situation.

Soon, Sang Li received the news on the other side.

At this moment, he was accompanying Chu Yin for a meal.

Chu Yin also heard the news on the phone.

After Sang Li hung up, she spoke: "I never thought Zhang Jia would agree to sacrifice Zhang Shutong. You’re right; Zhang Jia might be good at computers, but he doesn’t have the ability to lead a big enterprise."

"What do you think he used to persuade Zhang Shutong?"

Sang Li said while putting food in Chu Yin’s bowl.

Chu Yin replied: "Since you’re asking, it must be their father. Speaking of which, Zhang Shutong actually values Zhang Father the most, no wonder you kept saying she’s the key to breaking up the Zhang Family mother and child."
