Bai Ying and Ye Yuwei looked at each other.

Even though she hated to admit it, besides Gu Juexi, she had been worried about this woman too.

This woman who had given birth to her and then made her life a tragedy.

Nalan Chunbo helped Bai Ying sit down at the side of the bed and stretched his arms which were also covered in wounds. “I will leave Auntie to you, I am going back to Tin City. I checked the stock market and noticed that it hasn’t crashed yet. Xiao Yaojing is probably having trouble managing it by herself.”

“Brother…”

“Don’t worry about me. Small cuts like these won’t kill me. Gu Juexi is risking his life to protect us, so I can’t just sit here and do nothing for his family,” said Nalan Chunbo as he put his hands on Ye Yuwei’s shoulders. “I know I am no match for Gu Juexi, but trust my expertise. I promise to crash Gu International’s stock market.”

“Thank you, brother,” Ye Yuwei said and pursed her lips.

Nalan Chunbo wanted to chuckle but ended up groaning because of the pain from his wounds. He stumbled out of the tent.

The army doctor frowned when he saw Bai Ying’s wounds. “How did you get these wounds?”

The wounds looked like cuts from sharp-edged or pointed leaves. Ye Yuwei figured that it must be the plants from the underpass that no one had used for the past twenty years.

Bai Ying looked pale and she leaned at the head of the bed without a word.

Ye Yuwei didn’t have any feelings for the Bai family because it wasn’t where she was raised. When she learned about the Bai family later, it was just a place that had brought pain to Gu Juexi, and she hated it because of that.

That was not the case for Bai Ying, though. The Bai family had been her home, it was the fruit that her father had sown, and it was the place where she had had her happiest memories.

Ye Yuwei reached out and put her hand on Bai Ying’s bloody hands.

Bai Ying shuddered but did not open her eyes.

“Mother…” Ye Yuwei called out softly.

Bai Ying opened her eyes. “Your dad’s wish has come true. The Bai family is ruined, once and for all this time.”

“The Bai family is not what it used to be, Mother. We had no choice,” said Ye Yuwei softly. She had no idea how the Bai family used to be when her grandfather was around, but she could guess considering how he was still so respected many years after his passing.

The Bai family had turned bad only after her grandfather had passed away.

“Do you know why the people from the Bai family hate your father so much?” asked Bai Ying casually.

Ye Yuwei didn’t know what to say.

“Your father persuaded your grandfather to legalize all of Bai family’s businesses when we got married. The power fell into the hands of outsiders when your grandfather passed away, so your father had been trying to cooperate with outsiders to take down the Bai family. There was never a suitable candidate, until he found Gu Juexi…”

Ye Yuwei was surprised at the story and drew back her hand.

“Your father told me about Gu Juexi when he found him. He said he has found someone with great potential, someone with enough capability to take down the Bai family. But the Bai family found out about it, and decided to train their people to counter him, and that’s how we got Cheng Jie,” Bai Ying chuckled bitterly as she said, “and that was when the Bai family began to hate your father. They forced me to kill your father, or they would do it themselves.”

“So it wasn’t just Cheng Jie who wanted to kill Gu Juexi? Are you telling me the whole Bai family was in on it?” Ye Yuwei could feel her muscles tense, her wounds beginning to sting even more.
