Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Sooner or later, Duan Xingye will have to call Bai Chuwei ‘Auntie Si Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Sooner or later, Duan Xingye will have to call Bai Chuwei ‘Auntie Si Chen Jun lay on the ground, completely stunned.
It was over. Attempted murder, tomb raiding, smuggling cultural artifacts—all these crimes would be punished together, and the heavy sentence meant losing his life, while the lesser meant spending his life in prison.
Security was already dragging Chen Jun away to prevent him from dirtying the hall and spoiling the mood of the distinguished guests.
Chen Qiang’s mind went blank, and he subconsciously wanted to follow his son out, when a clear, ethereal voice from a girl called out from behind: “Chen Qiang.”
Chen Qiang stopped in his tracks.
Bai Chuwei smiled gracefully, “I forgot to tell you, Bai Chu is not a student sponsored by Chen Meihua.”
Chen Qiang was taken aback and turned around abruptly, “What did you say?”
Bai Chuwei’s red lips slightly lifted as her voice played on the heartstrings, “To be exact, it was Bai Chu who sponsored all the impoverished students, including you, such an ungrateful wretch.”
Chen Qiang cried out in shock, “How is that possible?!”
No sooner had he spoken than Chen Qiang suddenly froze again.
It was the only possibility, Bai Chuwei’s mother Bai Chu was from the aristocratic families, which was why these family heads showed such respect towards her daughter.
Bai Chu sponsored all the impoverished students, including him.
And he had harbored resentment over this for more than twenty years…
Chen Qiang laughed and cried at the same time, stumbling towards the outside of the hall.
A wave of sighs went through the crowd, clearly still not recovered from the incident with Chen Jun.
Chen Jun’s blood had spread across the carpet beneath their feet; it seemed the Liu Family banquet could not start on time.
Liu Jingyuan announced on the spot that the banquet would be delayed by half an hour.
Bai Chuwei glanced at He Nana and said indifferently, “Go upstairs and change clothes.”
He Nana wrapped her coat tightly and clung desperately to her grandmother’s arm, following Bai Chuwei upstairs in a daze.
The guests were still bustling with discussions about the incident on the first floor, as if they had witnessed a juicy piece of gossip.
Su Ruan picked up some snacks to fill her stomach and patted Duan Xingye, “What are you doing?”
Duan Xingye, hugging his phone, didn’t look up, “I am sending a message to Fourth Uncle.”
Duan Xingye nearly died of laughter because of his Fourth Uncle, with his snail’s pace, as if he could ever catch up with Fairy Weiwei who could dart into the heavens?
After a long time, there was still no sign of anyone.
Duan Feihan saw Duan Xingye’s WeChat and chose to ignore it outright, scoffing.
They had already said taking a helicopter is not as fast as that bogus Feiyu Carpet.
That dog of a nephew Duan Xingye also laughed at him; sooner or later, he would have him respectfully call Bai Chuwei ‘Auntie’!
The island villa had a hall on the first floor and a changing room on the second, which was spacious and warmly decorated in a cozy yellow.
No sooner had Bai Chuwei sat down than she saw He Sulan and He Nana kneeling together.
He Sulan, over seventy years old with gray hair, wept bitterly, “O old ancestor, we owe you a great debt today. If not for you, the He Family would have been finished, and Nana would be gone…”
The old lady felt terrified every time she thought about it. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel{f}ire.net
How had they not seen through Chen Jun’s villainous ambition, his committing such utterly heinous deeds?
The entire He Family had almost collapsed.
Thankfully, the old ancestor would never just watch the He Family fall for no good reason, she would certainly intervene.
He Nana knocked her head against the floor three times in front of Bai Chuwei, her pale forehead bruising, and choked, “Thank you, old ancestor, for saving me despite our past grievances.”
Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue, “Forget it, matters of the heart are uncontrollable, I understand.”
Just like during the great war, when her sworn brother took her to Qingque in the clouds, saying it was the only way to preserve the last spark of life. Logically, she knew her brother was right, but emotionally, she kept trying to break free from Qingque.
When she finally did escape, the whole world had already changed.
