“Gu Juexi...”
The guests in the lobby burst into an uproar when they heard the legendary name. Ye Yuwei walked down the stairs and stood in front of the crowd.
Ye Yuwei glanced at the crowd, and was satisfied when she saw that all the patriarchs were present.
“Let’s make things clear in front of everyone here, Mistress. Why did your man bring me here?” Ye Yuwei asked boldly, not even afraid of the infamous patriarchs.
“She is just like her grandfather...” The First Patriarch mumbled as he looked at Ye Yuwei. He saw the man who led them to glory in her.
“Brother.” The Second Patriarch reached out to support the First Patriarch who could barely stand, and looked at Ye Yuwei who was confronting Bai Ying.
“Why does the noble Bai family have to take advantage of an orphan? Or did you know that Gu Juexi was too occupied with the family affairs of the Gu family and decide to take advantage of his perilous state?” Ye Yuwei scoffed. “Or could it be that the Bai family has not moved on from how Gu Juexi took his revenge back then?”
The guests in the lobby began whispering to each other again until the patriarchs stopped them.
“What are you waiting for, Tam? Take her...”
“Take me where?” Knowing that Gu Juexi would be exposed if they send her back now, Ye Yuwei screeched when the Fourth Patriarch gave the order to his bodyguard.
“You know very well why Gu Juexi killed Cheng Jie,” said Ye Yuwei slowly.
“Were you an orphan, Miss Ye?” The First Patriarch asked after finally managing to calm himself down.
“So what if I was?” Ye Yuwei asked as she looked at the trembling old man.
“Have you ever tried looking for your family, Miss Ye?” asked the First Patriarch again.
Ye Yuwei glanced at Bai Ying when she heard the question. Bai Ying continued to sit with her head lowered while stroking her cat, as if she did not hear the conversation at all.
Nalan Chunbo leaned back in his chair, playing with his phone. He was curious as to how Ye Yuwei was going to play along.
Ye Yuwei looked at the First Patriarch. “What do you mean? Are you claiming that I am the daughter of this mistress to cotton up to Gu Juexi?”
“Watch your words, young lady,” the Second Patriarch growled.
Ye Yuwei stared at the Second Patriarch’s angry face fearlessly. “You kidnapped me! Just kill me already if you won’t even let me talk. Oh but wait, of course!” Ye Yuwei exclaimed suddenly as if she just remembered something, and then sneered, “You wouldn’t dare, because I am the wife of Gu Juexi.”
“You...”
“Shut up, Second Patriarch.” The First Patriarch snarled then looked at Ye Yuwei, “let me ask you this, young lady. When the orphanage was on fire, were you and Bai Yuyan the only ones who survived?”
Ye Yuwei glanced at the faces of the patriarchs and realized that the First Patriarch was the only one who truly hoped that the heir of Bai family could return home.
“Why waste your time talking to this little girl, brother?” The Fifth Patriarch scoffed. He stared at Ye Yuwei without hiding his hatred.
“The First Patriarch sent Cheng Jie to you so you could train him back then so I understand if you hate Gu Juexi’s guts, Fifth Patriarch, but if Miss Ye is proven to be the daughter of my aunt, then she shall be the legitimate successor of the Bai family,” said Nalan Chunbo quietly.
“What nonsense! The Bai family is not up to the Bais...”
