“We will find out after the DNA test. We heard that Miss Ye is an orphan, isn’t it safe to say that Miss Ye might have gotten it wrong?” The man asked as he led Ye Yuwei through the security checks. “And I suppose you know Miss Bai Yuyan?”
Ye Yuwei nodded emotionlessly. “Yes. We were in the same orphanage.”
“That’s right. Our mistress took her home back then and found out only recently that she might have gotten the wrong girl. Also, Miss Ye has a face that is almost identical to our mistress’ husband.”
Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze so that no one could see her emotions.
She had seen the picture of Ye Shu and it was undeniable that she looked a lot like him.
“Isn’t it rash that you brought me here based just on that?” Ye Yuwei looked up at the man, refusing to go through the next security check.
The man stopped walking and chuckled when he turned to Ye Yuwei who was looking at him arrogantly. “Please don’t be so defensive, Miss Ye. We won’t harm you even if you aren’t the daughter of our mistress.”
“Honestly, I don’t trust the Bai family. Bai Yuyan has been trying to kill me, so what makes you think that I can be at ease when I am in your territory?” Ye Yuwei demanded sternly. She then scoffed. “Unless I’m not here because of your mistress, but because of the Bai family’s fear of Gu Juexi.”
The atmosphere tensed immediately and the man’s face darkened. “It is true that we brought you here because of your past, Miss Ye.”
The man spoke again when Ye Yuwei just smiled coldly in response. “I don’t deny that we hate Gu Juexi, but Cheng Jie is dead and the Bai family will not dwell on that. We will be fine so long as Gu Juexi and the Bai family mind each other’s businesses, but if Gu Juexi is trying to take us down, then we would be left with no choice but to strike back. You are Gu Juexi’s wife, so I am sure that is what Gu Juexi thinks too?”
The man said it calmly but the way he phrased it sounded like he was snooping.
Ye Yuwei clenched and unclenched her fists. “Don’t worry. Gu Juexi is too busy for the Bai family now. Haven’t you heard the recent news about Gu International? Gu Juexi is too occupied dealing with Gu International, he doesn’t have time for you.”
“We are glad to hear that,” said the man while gesturing for Ye Yuwei to go through the security check, “I am sure you understand that we hate to be standing against Gu Juexi. Wouldn’t we be digging our own graves if we harm you? So please rest a.s.sured, Miss Ye, we promise to send you back once you are proven to not be related to our mistress.”
Ye Yuwei stared at the man and pa.s.sed through the security check after letting out a snort. After pa.s.sing the security checks, she overheard a conversation as she followed Gu Juexi to Bai Ying’s castle.
“Tell those who are checking on Gu Juexi to check Gu Enterprise instead and make sure that Gu Juexi doesn’t show up here,” the man said to Jack who was standing beside him.
Ye Yuwei curled her lips slightly. The Bai family might buy Ye Yuwei’s story that Gu Juexi was busy dealing with Gu International, but the truth was Gu Juexi had arranged for everything beforehand.
With the diversion, Ye Yuwei had bought Gu Juexi a lot more time at the Bai family’s fortress. After all, they would have found out that Gu Juexi was not at B City if they continued to look into it.
