Kill the donkey after it leaves the millstone!
Hearing his words, the idiom sprang to mind in Bai Xuening's brain!
She looked at them deeply and whispered solemnly, "If you and the other elders had discussed this with me earlier in a proper manner, I would naturally have agreed to your request. Because frankly, I have little attachment to the position of Family Head. But now, you're targeting my daughter, which means you have no regard for me. Therefore, I reject your demand, and I will not relinquish the position of Family Head!"
Bai Xuening was greatly disappointed with these people in the family.
Thus, she actually didn't want to be the Family Head anymore!
However, even though she felt this way, she was not willing to give up the position of Family Head so easily.
Because she knew she had to seek justice for her daughter now.
Upon hearing Bai Xuening's words, the young people knew that Bai Xuening had no plans to give up the position of Family Head!
Instantly, they quickly gathered around!
"elder, why waste words with her? With so many of us here, are we afraid of a single woman?"
"That's right, with a single command from you, we can subdue this demoness!"
All the young people became more and more excited as they spoke!
They knew that they had sided with these elders before, so now they really had to perform well.
Because only by doing so would they have better prospects in the future!
Hearing these young people's words, the elders gently waved their hands...
Quickly, one of the elders with a wealthy appearance said softly, "Xuening, you should see by now that everyone in the family doesn't like you much, so be proactive. It's for your own good."
These elders knew that Bai Xuening still had some authority in the family...
They did not want to resort to violence because it would consume the strength of the entire family...
Hidden Families were not just the Bai Family, so if the infighting caused too much depletion, it would definitely not be good for the entire family.
"For my good? If you truly cared for my well-being, you wouldn't plan to send my daughter to the Shao Family. Don't tell me you're unaware of their true nature!"
By the end, the coldness on Bai Xuening's face had reached its peak.
The Shao Family was also a Hidden Family!
There had been some contact between the Shao Family and the Bai Family before.
But the relationship between the two families was not good, for the Shao Family members were somewhat sickly!
Their family was crazy about researching a variety of medicines.
They would stop at nothing to develop better medicines...
For this reason, Bai Xuening deeply disliked them...
Hearing Bai Xuening's loud questioning, he glanced at the enraged Bai Xuening and said bluntly, "We are, of course, aware of what kind of family the Shao Family is, and we know it very well! In fact, it's precisely for this reason that we plan to send her there, to make the most of her final value. You know, your daughter Bai Mengmeng has consumed many medicinal herbs from childhood, so her body is different from that of a normal person. Simply put, the Shao Family is willing to buy her to conduct research, which is an honor for her, don't you think?"
Her whole body shuddering!
Hearing his nonchalant explanation, Bai Xuening trembled violently!
Previously, she had little hatred for the entire family.
But now, her hatred was complete because these people truly lacked any shred of human kindness!
"Honor? Honor my ass! Since it's such an honor, why don't you go? I see you're not far from death; why not make the most of your final warmth before you die, wouldn't that be good?"
"You... What do you mean by this? Don't forget, I am your elder!"
"Elder? Elder my foot! My daughter is also your junior! Have you ever considered her?"
After saying this, Bai Xuening prepared to reveal her trump card.
Previously, Bai Xuening had fostered a group within the family as her core force for the sake of the family!
Now, she was ready to call on them to help herself...
But quickly, she decided to wait a little longer, because it was not yet time for the final showdown...
"Irrational! You're truly irrational!"
After saying this furiously, he looked at Bai Xuening with venomous eyes and ordered, "We can't reason with her. You all, go on and seize her for me!"
The young people who had been waiting on the side stepped forward in unison after hearing the command.
Hu Xiaobei noticed what was happening, narrowed his eyes, and quickly stepped forward as well.
Hu Xiaobei knew that it was time for him to take action again!
Once Hu Xiaobei firmly protected her behind him, Bai Xuening felt very reassured!
She knew that with Hu Xiaobei willing to intervene, she could not lose, for he was invincible...
"Xiaobei, this... This is a matter internal to our family; let me handle it."
Bai Xuening was aware of her own family's strength and did not want Hu Xiaobei to get involved...
Because once caught in this whirlpool, it would not be so simple to get out...
Hearing Bai Xuening express her concerns, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently...
Quickly turning his head, Hu Xiaobei reminded her, "For now, let me. This matter isn't as simple as it seems on the surface. So your backup plan should wait until later."
Hu Xiaobei had guessed that Bai Xuening had a backup plan!
But he didn't want her to use it now, because he felt that the matter was incredibly complex. In such a situation, if Bai Xuening revealed all her cards, it would put her at a disadvantage...
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's reminder, she was slightly stunned...
After a moment's thought, she gently nodded her head.
She knew that Hu Xiaobei was right; there might be more to the situation, so she couldn't be too hasty now.
Seeing Hu Xiaobei calmly protecting Bai Xuening behind him, the elders looked at him deeply.
Soon, one of the seated elders spoke up in a somber voice!
"It must have been your help that enabled Bai Xuening to progress so quickly before, wasn't it?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽
These people were all extremely shrewd, guessing the reason behind events with just a glance.
Hu Xiaobei, upon hearing their inquiry, replied with a faint smile, "Indeed, it was my doing before. If you wish to surrender now, it's not too late."
He twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's reminder.
Quickly, he responded coldly, "Surrender? You're thinking too much! I just wanted to remind you that this is an internal matter of the Bai Family, and you had better not interfere! Otherwise, the consequences will be dire! If you back off now, we won't pursue you, and after this matter is settled, we will give you a suitable reward. You might even become a distinguished guest of the Bai Family. What do you say?"
