Bai Ying looked at the photo handed over by the man–it was none other than Ye Yuwei.
The uncanny resemblance between Ye Yuwei and Ye Shu–that was a fact that she need not state.
“Niece, we still have to figure this out to be sure. There is a problem with that Ye Shu indeed,” the second elder said.
“Uncles, the Bai family was single-handedly built up by my father. All of you know very clearly how I had treated Ye Shu at that time. Could it be that uncles are still suspecting me?” Bai Ying said as she gazed sharply at the several elders.
The three elders looked at each other uncomfortably. It was indeed rumored that Bai Ying had killed Ye Shu, but none of them had seen it.
“Niece, there’s no need for you to get agitated.” The third elder chuckled softly. We naturally know our niece’s heart. However, this concerns the bloodline of the Bai family, so we still have to invite this Miss Ye for a chat. What do you think?”
Bai Ying’s lips twitched slightly, then she said in a faint voice, “Naturally. If Ye Shu had really swapped my daughter at that time, then it is only natural to find my own daughter.”
Bai Ying’s speech had already pushed all the responsibilities to Ye Shu–this was the only way to protect herself.
“It is good that you also think this way.” The third elder’s eyes gleamed as he spoke. “Since you are also in agreement, then why don’t I ask someone to invite this Miss Ye over?”
Bai Ying raised her head and looked at the third elder who was sitting not far away from herself. “Then I shall leave the matter to you, Third Uncle.”
“But I heard that this Miss Ye is the wife of Gu Juexi. Niece, what are your thoughts on this?” The second elder asked suddenly.
Bai Ying laughed sarcastically. Leaning against the back of the chair as she looked at the three elders, she said, “Gu Juexi destroyed an important source of financial support of the Bai family six years ago. All of you uncles understand Gu Juexi better than I do. As for this Miss Ye, whosoever’s wife she is–do uncles think that a woman like myself who doesn’t step out of the house would know?”
After Bai Ying finished speaking, the three elders were slightly stunned. The first person who burst out laughing was First Elder Zhang. “What you said is correct, of course. This question asked by Second Brother is not right. We are here to discuss that with you. Since it is also possible that you may have been deceived at that time, then the actions of this Ye Shu are really abominable. As Third Brother will be asking someone to bring the person over, then Second Brother and I will go see how many people have arrived outside.”
Bai Ying did not speak. After the several elders went out, her expression changed.
That woman, Bai Yuyan. She shouldn’t have been softhearted. She ought to have killed that woman.
“Madam.” The maid standing beside her, bore a concerned expression.
Bai Ying looked outside with a troubled gaze. As she listened to the sounds of bustling activity outside, an indescribable despair flashed in her eyes.
She tried her best to protect her daughter, but never expected that in the end, her daughter would still get embroiled in all this.
“Bai Yuyan,” Bai Ying murmured the name softly, but her tone carried a deep hatred. ‘I really ought to have killed her six years ago. If I had killed her at that time, then the situation today would not have materialized at all.’
“Madam, Mr. Nalan has come over,” informed the young maid outside.
Bai Ying put away the look on her face. She raised her head and glanced at the people entering the room. Nalan Chunbo walked in, followed by Yan Feng, who was carrying the luggage for him.
Bai Ying’s gaze fell upon Yan Feng, but it was also quickly recovered.
“Aunt, I saw those old geezers just now. Why did they come looking for you again?” Nalan Chunbo’s expression appeared calm as he sat down.
