Chapter 404: 404
After hearing her answer, Ye Yuwei felt relief rush through her . She fell back onto her bad .
That was really good news .
She did not owe Gu Juexi anything now . She did not owe him the lives of the comrades that he had lost .
However, what was the use even if she did not owe him anything?
Her mother was still Bai Ying .
Even if she did not owe him anything, what is the use of it now?
She was still unable to forgive him for everything that had happened in the past .
Bai Ying walked out of the room and shut the door . She leaned against the door and the tears that she had been holding back for so long finally fell .
Ni Ya rushed over and supported Bai Ying . When she looked down and saw the blood of her hands, she let out a yelp .
“Aunt,” Nalan Chunbo whispered slowly .
Bai Ying leaned against the door, using all of her remaining strength to stand up straight . She waved her bleeding hands at him and said, “Take her away . Take her as far away as you possibly can . ”
Nalan Chunbo watched as Bai Ying walked away slowly . He watched as she staggered and felt miserable deep in his heart .
Ni Ya ran after her and gripped Bai Ying’s arms . “Why would you say those hurtful words to her?”

Bai Ying let out a laugh . “As long as Bai Yuyan is alive, no one can protect her except herself . Moreover, she is my daughter . The elders of the Bai family will never let her off so easily,” Bai Ying laughed and knelt on the ground . She buried her face against her knees and started crying .
Ni Ya opened her mouth but did not say anything . This was the first time that her mistress had cried after Mr . Ye’s disappearance .
Ni Ya knew that her mistress had stayed strong all these years purely for her daughter’s sake . She thought that if Cheng Jie was gone, Mr . Ye would finally return .
However, Mr . Ye did not return and the mistress was not capable of protecting her own daughter . She did not have anyone that she could rely on to protect her daughter . Therefore, she had to be heartless enough to force her daughter to grow up and defend herself .
Even if she would be hated by her own daughter, she had no other choice .
“Mistress, there are a few elders who are still downstairs . ” Ni Ya did not want to burden the mistress now, but it would be more troublesome if the elders came up .

Bai Ying paused for a while before she regained her composure . She wiped the tears off her face and stood up straight . “Ask Chunbo to take Weiwei away . I will go down to meet them myself . ”
Ni Ya nodded in response and watched as her mistress slowly walked down the stairs . She knew that she was only acting tough and keeping a strong front to protect her daughter .
Bai Ying went down, her eyes still red and swollen . Several elders were seated in the living room drinking tea .
“How is it you all have time to come over today?” Bai Ying asked as she sat down at the table and instructed the servants to bring water .
The elders were stunned to see Bai Ying and some of them glanced upstairs but quickly turned back to her . “Is Yuyan feeling better?”
Bai Ying sipped the water in the cup without changing her expression . “Yes, she is feeling better but she insists on going out with her cousin . ”

“Niece, Cheng Jie is already dead . The will left behind by the old master is useless now . ” One of the elders spoke up .
“That is right . It is such a pity, I should have taken it out earlier . There is no other way but to die in Gu Juexi’s hands,” Bai Ying said calmly as she looked at the elders sitting around her . “Gu Juexi already made it very clear . I do not wish to say this a second time, but stay away from China unless you intend to deal with Gu Juexi too . ”
Gu Juexi could plan for more than ten years just to raise Cheng Jie up and destroy him in one strike . He had also annihilated half of the Bai family resources with that one step . Surely the elders knew better than to provoke the dragon .
“Niece, what you said is right . What will the future of the Bai family be like now?” One of the younger elders asked . “I have brought the person that Bai Ying mentioned previously . Why don’t you have a look at him?”
Bai Ying knew that the person he had mentioned was to be the next successor of the Bai family .
