Chapter 511: Chapter 511: The Whole Family Should Be Together Chapter 511: Chapter 511: The Whole Family Should Be Together Bai Guofu felt a pang of compassion and began making excuses for his second daughter-in-law, “Old ancestor, recently I haven’t seen Liu Man do anything wrong, and on the contrary, she’s become quite haggard.”
Bai Guofu felt guilty. His own son, now middle-aged, had taken a mistress who was pregnant, which was a betrayal of Liu Man, his rightful wife. He had demanded an immediate abortion, but Bai Hongguang had gone against his wishes secretly. Some time ago, he even told him that it was done, but today he was suddenly informed that not only was it not done, but he also went above his head to the elder ancestor?
Bai Chuwei let out a cold laugh, picked up a peach from the fruit plate on the table, and hurled it at Liu Man’s head. The fruit burst open instantly, striking Liu Man with such force that she cried out and collapsed onto the carpet, the split peach rolling to Bai Shang’s feet.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was mysterious, and no one dared to even breathe too loudly.
“Whatever tricks you husband and wife are up to, I can’t be bothered to interfere! But if you think of compromising the Bai Family’s reputation, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Bai Chuwei’s arm rested on the sofa armrest, her slender fingers lightly scraping the surface as she spoke coldly, “Liu Man, you’ve become quite capable, huh? Inciting Bai Hongguang and Chen Xiaomiao to keep the child from an ectopic pregnancy, risking two lives with one corpse. Do you think everyone is foolish? Don’t you know what you are plotting? When the whole of Haicheng hears about this, it will damage my Bai Family’s reputation!”
No wonder Liu Man didn’t want her to come back, was eager for her to stay in the Imperial Capital a few more days, even showing concern by sending her money. If she had delayed by just one more day, someone could have died!
Gossip could be laughed off as a joke in Haicheng, but a death was a different matter entirely.
From Haicheng to the whole country, it was possible that everyone would hear about such a scandalous move from the Bai Family!
Liu Man suddenly looked up at Bai Chuwei, shocked, as if her throat was glued shut.
Her thoughts were almost perfectly revealed.
In another family, people might truly not believe it, but Bai Chuwei, the old ancestor, had lived so many years and had even cured late-stage cancer. Bai Hongguang, desperate for a child, of course, was willing to take the risk.
Bai Hongguang froze for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Liu Man, you venomous woman, you even sent Xiaomiao and the child skincare products.”
What skincare products? She’d rather have the child from the ectopic pregnancy grow a little older, perfect for two deaths with one corpse! It was essentially poison!
Liu Man, enraged, retorted, “I’m the venomous one? Am I as bad as you? Having an affair and wanting to father a bastard to share my inheritance? Dream on! You’d deserve it if you died!”
Bai Chuwei’s face was expressionless. Before she left, she had warned Liu Man not to cause trouble, but she didn’t listen.
A perfectly sympathetic victim had turned herself into an aggressor. She had never seen someone so foolish.
Had Liu Man had even a shred of dignity and requested a divorce because of this, her old ancestor might have been sympathetic to her being cheated on and given her a larger share of the property. What kind of unscrupulous things was she doing now?
This couple, one was foolish and the other vile, were indeed a perfect match.
Bai Guofu, dizzy with anger from his family’s actions, slumped onto the sofa and weakly said, “So, old ancestor, you want to…”
A family should be whole and united.
“Those who disgrace the Bai name, all of you can get out.”
Bai Chuwei looked up, her eyes moving towards Bai Ze, “Bring me the family register.”
The main house inhaled sharply; this seemed like she was ready to kick Bai Hongguang’s entire family out. They hadn’t seen such an expulsion from the family register twice in a lifetime.
Bai Hongguang, glaring fiercely at Liu Man, finally came to his senses, crying and crawling towards Bai Chuwei, “Old ancestor, I was wrong, I… I realize you meant well for me, my mind was clouded as if by lard, please don’t remove me from the family register!”
Being removed from the family register meant losing everything, one could just imagine how miserable Bai Yinyin was.
And more so… once removed from the family register, the old ancestor would indeed no longer protect him.
Bai Hongguang was a mess of snot and tears, and if not for fear, he would have been holding onto Bai Chuwei’s legs by now.
Bai Chuwei, without a glance sideward, took the family register from Bai Ze’s hands, flipping to the latest page, where the names of the second house, Bai Hongguang, his wife Liu Man, and the name Bai Yinyin, which had long disappeared, were written.
The husband and wife, thinking back to the day Bai Chuwei had erased Bai Yinyin’s existence with a stroke of her hand, began to scream in terror.
“Old ancestor, please, don’t erase it, don’t erase it!” The source of thɪs content is novel•fire.net
Bai Chuwei glanced at them, “Don’t erase it? Fine, after all, you are still descendents of the Bai Family.”
