Chapter 562 - A Bully Deserves a Bully

“Elder Bai, what are you saying?We’ve been old friends for many years, and this time we’ve helped the Bais within our capacity; you don’t need to take it too seriously,” Elder Ye said with a smile.

“Zhenhong, those are words I don’t like to hear,” he retorted.

“What do you mean ‘within our capacity’?

Without Chenfeng, I would have met the King of Hell not once but twice by now.

Today I must properly thank Chenfeng.

I’m inviting Chenfeng alone to the Bais for a meal, and tomorrow I will invite everyone else together for a feast.”

“Chenfeng, you wouldn’t refuse me, would you?

Not even giving me a chance to thank you?”

A sly look flashed in Elder Bai’s eyes.

After the Bais’ recent crisis, he had grown even more astute.

His eldest son, Bai Yanxin, was too soft-hearted, and his second and third sons were not right in their scheming.

The future burden of the family was bound to fall on Bai Yanxin.

If Ye Chenfeng could be with his granddaughter Bai Xueling, with Ye Chenfeng’s capabilities assisting Bai Yanxin from the sidelines, and later on taking the Bais to greater heights, wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds? Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt

Although the marriage arrangement between the Yes and the Bais had long been dissolved, and Elder Bai’s actions seemed somewhat shameless, he didn’t care about being shameless for the sake of the Bai family and his granddaughter’s happiness.

Elder Wu looked at Elder Bai warily and said, “Elder Bai, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.

It was your Bai family who proposed to dissolve the marriage arrangement with the Yes in the first place.

Now, Chenfeng is my granddaughter’s fiancé, Wu Xiaofei; he has nothing to do with your Bai Hongfang.”

Elder Bai chortled and responded, “The man is unmarried, the woman is single, and even if they were married, divorce is still an option!

Is my granddaughter not worthy of Chenfeng?

After all, my granddaughter Xueling is also Capital City’s top beauty!”

“You ungrateful old man, if I had known, I would’ve never had Chenfeng wake you up.

It would’ve been better to let you go to Yama’s Palace and chitchat with King Yama,” Elder Wu fumed, his face red and his chest heaving with anger.

“Alright, alright, An Guo, why get so worked up?

Do you really think I, Bai Hongfang, have no shame?

From now on, I won’t meddle in Xueling’s affairs.

However, if one day Xueling truly wants to be with Chenfeng, I, as her grandfather, will definitely support her wholeheartedly.

Let the young people make their own decisions about their affairs.”

With that, Elder Bai grabbed Ye Chenfeng’s arm and said, “Nevertheless, Chenfeng, you must come to the Bais for a meal today.

I have no ulterior motives; I just want to properly thank you for saving my life, not once but twice.”

Bai Xueling’s cheeks flushed red.

She couldn’t understand how her grandfather could say such embarrassing things with her fiance, Wu Xiaofei, present.

She quickly explained, “Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about?

I don’t like Ye Chenfeng at all.

Besides, I already have someone I like.

If you keep talking like this, I really will stop acknowledging you.”

Seeing Bai Xueling appearing genuinely uninterested in Ye Chenfeng, Elder Wu breathed a sigh of relief and graciously said, “Chenfeng, since Elder Bai has invited you over as a guest, just go for the visit.”

“Yes, Chenfeng, this is Elder Bai’s goodwill, so just accept his invitation to the Bais for a meal,” added Elder Ye.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, not rushing to agree with Elder Bai, instead looking at Wu Xiaofei and asking, “Xiaofei, would you like to join me for a meal at the Bais?”

Wu Xiaofei felt a surge of sweetness in her heart upon Chenfeng’s inquiry, which showed his respect and consideration for her.

She was also a woman who could read the situation clearly.

Elder Bai’s intentions had been quite explicit in his previous words.

He wanted to invite Ye Chenfeng to the Bais alone today.

Wu Xiaofei was not an unreasonable woman, so she promptly replied, “Chenfeng, I have some matters to deal with later, so I won’t accompany you to the Bais for the meal.

Tonight, I’ll prepare dinner and wait for your return.”

Wu Xiaofei acted every bit the gentle and supportive partner, straightening Chenfeng’s slightly crooked collar.

Since she became engaged to Ye Chenfeng, she had put aside her formidable businesswoman demeanor, never showing it in front of him.

Elder Bai, hearing Wu Xiaofei couldn’t join them for the meal, couldn’t help but feel delighted inside.

Although he had said he would no longer interfere with Bai Xueling’s marital affairs, in his heart, he very much hoped that Ye Chenfeng would become his granddaughter’s husband.

“Chenfeng, since Xiaofei cannot accompany you, let’s get ready and head to the Bais!” Elder Bai said, with a fierce aura suddenly emanating from him.

“Before treating you to a meal, I still have to cleanse the household first.

Some beasts will no longer be worthy to stay in the Bai family.”

In the living room of the Bai family in Capital City.

Elder Bai’s second son, Bai Yanping, and his third son, Bai Yanjun, along with their sons and wives, were sitting in the living room with visible unease.

Overnight, the direct descendants of the Songs had been slaughtered, and the once powerful family in Capital City had been abruptly kicked out of the elite circles.

They had presumed that with the Songs’ involvement, Ye Chenfeng was surely doomed; yet now, Ye Chenfeng was alive and well, while the Songs had been reduced to a mere speck of historical dust.

Within just a few days, the likes of Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun had grown noticeably thinner, and they were yet unaware that Elder Bai had regained consciousness.

Had they known, they likely wouldn’t have had the courage to remain within the Bai family.

Bai Shaohua and Bai Xinwei, seated in wheelchairs, also bore expressions of dejection and worry.

Now without the backing of the Songs, if the Yes decided to act against them, it would be effortless.

“Dad, what should we do now?

The Yes will definitely not let us off; we should leave Capital City quickly!” Bai Shaohua said with quivering lips to his father, Bai Yanping.

With a “bang!”

Bai Yanping slapped the living room table fiercely and angrily shouted, “If it weren’t for that old man insisting on handing the Family Head position to Bai Yanxin, would we have needed to rely on the Songs?

Would we be in this desperate situation?”

Bai Yanjun clenched his teeth and said, “It’s just that the old man was too biased.

Compared to us two, Bai Yanxin has neither the ability nor the capacity.

If the Bai family fell into his hands, it couldn’t flourish at all.”

A snort of anger echoed in the Bais’ living room.

Hearing this familiar sound, Bai Yanping, Bai Yanjun, and the others instinctively turned their gazes towards the living room entrance.

When they saw Elder Bai, Bai Yanxin, Bai Xueling, and Ye Chenfeng appear in their line of sight, their faces instantly turned ashen.

Supported by Bai Yanxin, Elder Bai steadily walked towards Bai Yanping and the others, angrily declaring, “You two beasts, do you know why I insisted on giving the position of Family Head to Yanxin?

It’s not because Yanxin is my eldest son, but because I know you two have better abilities than Yanxin.

However, you two are malicious at heart; the Bai family would eventually perish in your hands, whereas in Yanxin’s hands, even if it does not advance, at least it will maintain its current state.”

“You conspired with the Songs, seeking to control the entire Bai family and even resorted to striking at your own father.

You heartless beasts, how could I, Bai Hongfang, have sons like you?

From today onward, you are no longer members of the Bai family.

Get out immediately and don’t even think of taking anything from the Bai family with you, or else don’t blame me for breaking your legs.”

Elder Bai felt utterly disappointed in Bai Yanping’s family of three and Bai Yanjun’s family of three.

But for the emotional ties in his heart, he definitely would not have spared Bai Yanping and the others.

Though Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun were indignant, they knew that once they left the Bai family, they would have nothing.

Now that Elder Bai had regained consciousness and with him at the helm, the Bai family remained a top-tier family in Capital City.

“Dad, I realize my mistake, I really do.

Please forgive me this once!” Bai Yanping said with a mournful face.

“Dad, I was momentarily foolish and listened to the false words of the Songs; I swear I’ll never make such a mistake again,” Bai Yanjun pleaded urgently.

“Don’t make me repeat myself.

If you don’t leave the Bai family immediately, I’ll have the authorities deal with you.

Make your choice,” Elder Bai declared unmoved, as Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun’s actions had crossed his bottom line.

Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun seemed to have had the strength drained from their bodies, seeing Elder Bai’s resolute demeanor, they knew there was no hope for reconciliation that day, and dejectedly started to walk out of the Bai family’s living room.

Do you remember how arrogant Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun were not so many days ago?

Do you remember how elated they were when they visited the Songs, knowing the Songs would personally deal with Ye Chenfeng?

As the saying goes, wicked people will be dealt with by other wicked people; this was the fate Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun deserved.
