“The meeting is almost over, Yan Feng. The first patriarch wants you to watch the door,” said the head servant who appeared to be quite respected.
Yan Feng left the room without looking back.
“I am not hungry. Can you do what you have to do quickly and send me back once it is proven that I am not related to your mistress?” Ye Yuwei took a deep breath and asked emotionlessly.
“You might have to wait a bit more for that, Miss Ye,” said the head servant while continuing to persuade Ye Yuwei to have some food.
“I can wait, but are you sure the Bai family can? Please check with your first patriarch, because if Gu Juexi notices that I am gone…” Ye Yuwei did not finish her sentence.
The head servant began to look worried and her expression darkened.
“Please wait a moment while I check with the First Patriarch, Miss Ye. Our mistress will be here after the guests are sent off.”
Sent off?
So everyone had to go through the security checks before they left?
Ye Yuwei frowned as she thought about Gu Juexi who had just headed out, and stood up to exit the room.
“Miss Ye!” The servants quickly stopped Ye Yuwei from leaving. “You can’t leave yet, Miss Ye.”
But Ye Yuwei couldn’t be bothered and continued to march to the door.
“Miss Ye!”
Ye Yuwei left the room and walked straight to the third-floor railing, looking down at the lobby where guests were leaving after the meeting.
Bai Ying’s maid was the first to notice Ye Yuwei. Shocked, the maid alerted Bai Ying immediately.
“Please follow me to the room, Miss Ye,” said one of the servants who had begun to tremble. Knowing that the first patriarch might kill her if anything went wrong, the servant reached out and tried to pull Ye Yuwei back to the room.
Gu Juexi was standing in a corner and squinting at Ye Yuwei, wondering what his wife was trying to do.
“Don’t touch me!” Ye Yuwei shouted suddenly, alerting everyone in the lobby.
Gu Juexi sneaked out from Bai Ying’s fortress the moment everyone looked up at Ye Yuwei.
That woman was crazy! She put herself in danger to make sure that he had sufficient time to escape. After all, almost everyone who was important in the Bai family had come for the meeting, and all of them hated his guts. Ye Yuwei exposed herself to make things as chaotic as possible, creating the best opportunity for him to look for the distribution map.
A brilliant idea, but not an ideal one.
He had to track down the distribution map as soon as possible, at least before Ye Yuwei landed herself in danger.
Ye Yuwei heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Juexi leave. “Why did your man bring me here, mistress?”
The people down there began to whisper to each other, a few of the older followers of the Bai family even called out Ye Shu’s name when they saw Ye Yuwei’s face.
Ye Yuwei walked down the stairs slowly, exactly like how the man who had nearly destroyed the Bai family back then walked.
Bai Ying lowered her gaze without a word.
“Take her upstairs,” The first patriarch said angrily as he leaned on his walking stick.
“Hold on,” said Bai Ying suddenly to stop the servant from taking Ye Yuwei. It was also the first time that Bai Ying has spoken since the meeting.
“Bai Ying,” The first patriarch called out softly, subtly warning Bai Ying to stay out of it.
Bai Ying sat down in her chair. “Third Uncle brought her here. Who is going to explain it to Gu Juexi if anything happens to his wife? Third Uncle, or you?”
