Nalan Chunbo fidgeted with his phone while thinking of a solution quickly.
“You forced me to kill Ye Shu years ago and I kept quiet about it. Now you won’t leave my daughter alone? You could have said that you want the Bai family to be yours, there is no need to play all these dirty tricks. I admit that I haven’t done much for the Bai family besides killing my own husband, so you can have it if you want it.”
“That’s too much, Bai Ying,” protested the first patriarch.
“Do you I think I was too much, Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle?” Bai Ying scoffed.
The fifth and sixth patriarch’s faces darkened when Bai Ying called them out.
“You will have to kill me before you can touch my daughter,” Bai Ying said slowly.
What Bai Ying said implied that someone was spreading fake news about Gu Juexi being at the Bai family’s fortress, and that ‘someone’ was the fifth and sixth patriarchs.
Ye Yuwei stood behind Bai Ying and listened to her telling the patriarchs off. Realizing that the woman she had hated for years was standing in front of her and protecting her, Ye Yuwei clenched her fists.
Nalan Chunbo had been trying to get a response from his earpiece but to no avail. Nalan Chunbo tried his best to reach Gu Juexi because Gu Juexi would be in deep trouble if he didn’t come back now.
“Where is Yan Feng?” The fifth patriarch ignored the tense atmosphere and asked loudly.
Ye Yuwei held her hands together tightly with her heart pounding.
“Are you looking for me, Fifth?” The deep voice of Yan Feng echoed in the lobby and the crowd fell silent.
Ye Yuwei’s legs felt like jelly and the only reason she was still standing was the chair she was holding on to. Gu Juexi saw Qian Yikun who was standing in front of Ye Yuwei.
“Where did you go?” asked the fifth patriarch.
“I heard the first patriarch’s order to close the gate and patrolled around together with George and the others. What is wrong, Fifth?” Yan Feng replied innocently.
“What do you mean, Fifth Uncle? Are you suspicious just because Yan Feng works for me? Take the whole Bai family then if you suspect me,” said Bai Ying sarcastically.
“What are you doing, Fifth?” The first patriarch was angry too.
“Brother, I…”
“Send the guests to their rooms so they can rest, Jack.” The first patriarch waved his hand and ordered without allowing the fifth patriarch to explain.
Jack responded to the first patriarch’s order and began to guide the guests to their rooms. The gate was closed and no one could leave at the moment.
“You don’t have to go with them, Yan Feng,” the first patriarch said, looking tired.
“Why don’t you get some rest for now, Uncle? We will discuss this tomorrow.” Bai Ying had calmed down and sounded very gentle when she suggested it.
It was true that the first patriarch was old. He was older than even Master Bai, so it was understandable that his body wouldn’t allow him to stay up throughout the meeting.
“Go back to your respective rooms and we will discuss this tomorrow. I am sure that Bai Ying has plenty to talk about with her daughter. Let’s go back for now and give them some time,” the first patriarch said as a servant came to help him to his room.
“Brother…” The fifth patriarch insisted that Yan Feng was suspicious and didn’t want to let it go.
“Didn’t you hear what the first patriarch said?” The second patriarch asked loudly, interrupting the fifth patriarch.
The fifth patriarch left the lobby angrily, glaring at Yan Feng on his way out.
