Chapter 2304: One-Night Stand Shen (88)

Xiaojiu called out "Mom," and ran towards her.

Ye Bai picked up Xiaojiu, took off his clothes, revealing a small, bare arm.

Someone nearby came up to draw his blood.

Xiaojiu cried out in pain with a frown.

Ye Bai said, "Be good, don’t cry."

Seeing Ye Bai, Xiaojiu pursed his lips, didn’t cry, just turned his head into Ye Bai’s embrace.

After a moment, the blood draw was complete.

Ye Bai pressed a cotton swab on Xiaojiu’s arm, gently pressed for a while, then released, and seeing his arm wasn’t bleeding, she lowered the sleeve, "Before the results are out, if I hear any rumors, I’ll punish according to the Ye Family’s rules."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a chorus of agreement, "The Family Head is wise."

Ye Bai looked at Ye Fan, "You will kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect for three days, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Ye Fan looked at Ye Bai, not expecting such disrespect from a junior.

Ye Bai looked at Ye Fan, her eyes clear and sharp as they weighed on him.

Forced by the gaze, Ye Fan recalled ordering someone to act against her, only to find that the person who boarded the plane wasn’t Ye Bai at all!

Surely, she has found out about it.

His aura weakened, and he looked away.

Ye Bai didn’t seek his opinion, looked at the two clan members beside her father, "You two, stay here and watch him."

With those words, she stood up, carrying Xiaojiu away from the ancestral hall.

After she left, the others gradually dispersed, whispering among themselves.

"The Family Head seems angry."

"Of course, I heard there was some trouble, the Second-in-Command tried to assassinate the Family Head."

"Really?"

"Why not? You saw how the Family Head immediately made an example of the Second-in-Command upon returning."

"True, who would’ve thought the Family Head, so young, would have such presence."

"Seems like his past obsession with medical skills was just a facade."

...

Ye Bai hadn’t been back at her place for long when Ye Ming showed up.

He looked at Ye Bai, not expecting Baibai to undergo such a transformation.

Before, he was always worried about Baibai, so he never fell out with any side.

Besides, he was no longer the Family Head; some things, according to the Ye Family’s ancestral instructions, he couldn’t intervene in, nor was he able to.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Baibai returned, the situation suddenly stabilized.

Ye Bai looked at Chu He who followed, "Is the water burial arranged?"

Chu He, "It’s all arranged."

Ye Bai recalled just now, at the ancestral hall, she didn’t see Huo Jindong and Huo Bei, not knowing where they concealed themselves.

Wherever they are, they should appear when the danger is greatest.

She will personally attend the upcoming water burial.

That’s also according to the Ye Family’s rules.

It’s also an opportunity for those plotting against her.

As long as they act, she will root them out no matter what methods she needs to use!

Moreover—

She plans to send Xiaojiu away.

In this struggle, she might have to risk everything, and having Xiaojiu there would hold her back.

She couldn’t afford to let go.

"I need to rest now, everyone leave."

Ye Ming took a glance at Ye Bai and left as well.

Ye Bai held Xiaojiu, kissed his cheek, "Xiaojiu, are you awake?"

Xiaojiu shook his head.

Ye Bai, "Mom will hold you to sleep for a while, alright? Later, accompany Mom to watch the water burial."

Xiaojiu nodded.

Ye Bai looked at Xiaojiu, closed her eyes, holding him tightly, and thought of Shen You.

Xiaojiu still hasn’t met his father!

After a while, she used the phone she snatched from a servant to call Huo Jinnan, "Where are you now?"
