Qian Yikun shrugged again and did not deny it.
“Tell them where Gu Juexi is and I promise they will not hurt you,” Qian Yikun said with a creepy smile on his face.
“Don’t you know where Gu Juexi is? Weren’t you the one behind Gu International manipulating everything that is happening to Gu Juexi now? Didn’t you do all that to prevent Gu Juexi from showing up here?” Ye Yuwei said seriously.
“So that is what you thought,” Qian Yikun chuckled to himself suddenly, then said, “you thought it was me who did everything in Gu International to prevent Gu Juexi from being here?”
“Can you not understand English?” Ye Yuwei looked up, narrowing her eyes.
Qian Yikun burst into laughter and looked at the first patriarch. “You have been too nervous, First. Gu Juexi is too busy with his family affairs now, he can’t be here.”
Ye Yuwei stood behind Qian Yikun and began to wonder. Was he helping Gu Juexi now?
“Arrange to send the guests off please, Jack and Tam. The meet and greet is over. Everything you heard today was a misunderstanding so please don’t take it to heart, and we assure you that Gu Juexi will not be here,” said Qian Yikun smilingly to the guests in his calming voice.
But his voice creeped Ye Yuwei out now.
“Yikun, are you certain that…”
“I knew Gu Juexi, Sixth. Ten subsidiaries of Gu International were acquired today. Who other than Gu Juexi do you think is capable of this?” Qian Yikun explained with a smile.
What he said and what Ye Yuwei said earlier were the same.
“Jack…” The sixth patriarch called out, gesturing for Jack to send the guests off.
“Where is Yan Feng?” asked the fourth patriarch suddenly.
Ye Yuwei looked up suddenly, her body tense—there was no way that Gu Juexi could show up here now.
Nalan Chunbo stopped what he was doing. “Yan Feng must be out there patrolling. Can you get him please, Jack? Tell him that the fourth patriarch is looking for him.” Nalan Chunbo smiled at the fourth patriarch.
Ye Yuwei looked at everyone and thought that each of them deserved a best actor award.
Where was Gu Juexi now? Could he make it here on time?
Jack responded and headed out to look for Gu Juexi.
Ye Yuwei held her hands tightly together and felt sweat gather on her forehead.
Nalan Chunbo who was fidgeting with his phone could feel his palms turning sweaty too, and hoped that Gu Juexi had already come back from the sixth patriarch’s place.
“Are you done?” Bai Ying demanded, getting up from her chair abruptly. Her cat that was napping on her lap yowled when it tumbled off her lap and quickly ran away.
Ye Yuwei who was already nervous jolted when Bai Ying yelled suddenly.
“Since when are the affairs of the Bai family announced to the whole world? My father might have passed away, but it doesn’t mean that I will allow my daughter and I to be bullied. What are Fourth and Sixth Uncle trying to say or do now?” asked Bai Ying angrily. “I have never asked or interfered with what you have done in the name of the Bai family all these years. Is that why you think you can step on me now?”
Bai Ying slammed her hands on the table loudly, frightening everyone who was present.
Bai Ying reached out to pull Ye Yuwei behind her and walked towards the first patriarch. “I believe that my father has put my daughter and I under your care, Uncle. I admit that you have been carrying out your duty so I have nothing to say about you,” Bai Ying said then looked at the other patriarchs.
