"Damn it! Each one is more ruthless than the last!"
Shao He truly felt like crying at this moment.
Previously, when he heard Hu Xiaobei speak up for him, Shao He felt extremely happy.
He thought Hu Xiaobei was really a good person.
Now, after listening to Hu Xiaobei's words, he realized he had been completely wrong before!
Because he wasn't a good person, he was even more ruthless!
Bai Xuening just wanted to gain some benefits from him, but he wanted to dig up his ancestral graves...
At this horribly depressing moment, Shao He heard Bai Xuening speak softly.
"Yeah! Xiaobei! You're right! Let's go together later, and once we get to the Shao Family, we can check out what's in the warehouse. If there isn't much, then so be it!"
Hearing Bai Xuening agree with Hu Xiaobei's proposal, Shao He's mouth twitched violently...
"No, we definitely can't let them go to our warehouse; otherwise, everything in there will definitely be taken!"
After this thought appeared in his mind, Shao He turned around and fiercely slapped his lackey.
...
Upon hearing this crisp slap, the young people of the Shao Family were stunned...
"What's going on?"
While they were still in shock, they heard Shao He's frantic yelling...
"Previously, what nonsense were you talking about! If we don't have enough ginseng, we can figure out a way to gather it ourselves!"
Hearing Shao He shout like this, all the young people knew he was trying to abandon the car to save the scaling...
They understood, and so did the lackey who got hit!
"Damn it, I shouldn't have run my mouth earlier!"
Annoyingly muttering to himself, he rubbed his face and said in a very flustered manner, "Yes, yes!"
He knew Shao He was furious, so now, saying even one extra word could get him beaten!
Hearing this response, Shao He nodded!
Soon, Shao He turned his head to look toward Bai Xuening and Hu Xiaobei.
In that instant, Shao He obsequiously said, "Bai Family Head, Master Xiaobei, the journey from here to our Shao Family is long, so I won't bother you two to make the trip. Once I return and prepare all the items on the list, I'll have them delivered to you!"
"It looks like there are quite a few good things in his warehouse! Oh well, there will be other days!"
Hearing Shao He speak obsequiously, Hu Xiaobei had many thoughts...
But Hu Xiaobei didn't continue to pressure him, and instead smiled, "Alright, we'll wait! But you only have three days to prepare! If you don't return within three days, I won't mind making the trip myself. You understand what I mean, right!"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's threat, Shao He's lips twitched violently...
He had never been threatened like this before...
So right now, he really wanted to curse out loud...
But he knew he couldn't do that...
"When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head."
With that thought, he composed himself and with a full face of smiles, he said, "Yes! I understand! Within three days, I will definitely send over all the items listed."
"Alright, then we won't see you out!"
"No need! We... we will go by ourselves!"
After saying that, Shao He turned his head to look toward the young men and barked, "What are you staring at? Everyone, get moving!"
"Yes!"
They quickly complied, and everyone hurriedly ran outside.
Soon, the place became completely silent!
Hu Xiaobei smiled, preparing to say something!
At that moment, Hu Xiaobei noticed that a few who had previously betrayed the Bai Family and were still hanging around...
Right now, they were looking over somewhat awkwardly...
Earlier, they had wanted to leave with Shao He.
But, they realized Shao He had no intention of paying them any mind...
With no other option, they could only stand there foolishly!
Now, they were hoping Bai Xuening could forgive them one more time...
...
Looking at Bai Xuening, they spoke pitifully.
"Family Head, we really were just momentarily blinded before, you... give us another chance, this time we promise, we absolutely… will not make mistakes again!"
"Yes, Family Head! Blood is thicker than water, please give us another chance!"
"Yes! Yes! This time, we definitely won't screw up again."
They pleaded desperately, knowing that they were now old and that losing the protection of the Bai Family would make it truly hard to move forward!
The elders standing behind Bai Xuening heard their words and their faces displayed contempt…
Bai Xuening glanced at them, "Let's part on good terms!"
After saying that, Bai Xuening turned around and walked away…
Seeing Bai Xuening turn around to leave, they silently sighed…
Quickly, they raised their hands and fiercely slapped themselves.
One is the master of their own misery!
They knew that the situation had turned out this way due to their own faults, so there really was nothing more to say.
After exchanging a silent look, these people turned and left…
They knew that from now on, they truly had absolutely no relationship with the Bai Family.
…
At the Bai Family headquarters, it was currently chaotic…
Earlier, these young people left behind at home had heard the news that the Shao Family was about to attack…
So, they all wanted to help…
But, the orders they had received earlier were to wait here.
They didn't dare to disobey and could only anxiously pace back and forth.
"We don't even know what the situation outside is like now!"
"That's just it, it's really maddening."
While they were frantically talking to themselves, they heard footsteps approaching.
Instinctively, everyone tensed up.
They knew that their family's strength was somewhat inferior to the Shao Family, so if it really came to a fight, they might lose.
Because of this, when they heard the footsteps, they thought it was the Shao Family attacking!
Soon, they realized they were wrong, as the ones approaching were Hu Xiaobei and others, looking calm as ever.
Everyone quickly gathered around!
"Family Head, how is the situation outside?"
"Exactly!"
"How come only a few of you have returned? Have the others… have they all fallen in battle?"
Bai Xuening glanced at them and explained faintly, "No one has fallen. They have surrendered to the Shao Family! Currently, our Bai Family is at a disadvantage, so if anyone wants to leave, I have no objections."
On her way back, Bai Xuening had thoroughly contemplated!
She knew that moths were of no benefit to the entire family.
Thus, she felt it was time to look for an opportunity to clear out all the moths…
Clearing out the moths would weaken the family's strength, but this weakening was acceptable.
Better a short pain than a long one!
A short-term weakening for a long-term peace and stability was excellent!
Hearing Bai Xuening's words, the young people present hesitated quickly…
A few started to waver, but the eyes of many others remained resolute.
They knew they had grown up in the Bai Family since childhood.
Now, running away when the Bai Family was in danger would be extremely disgraceful.
So, they all refused to do so...
Seeing everyone hesitating, Bai Xuening didn't say anything and just quietly waited.
Forced fruit is never sweet!
She knew that to change the foundation of the entire family, she needed to let them make their own choices.
Thinking this, she heard a solemn voice...
"Family Head! Although I am not the most outstanding in the Bai Family, I belong to the Bai Family, and that won't change in this lifetime, so I will not leave!"
"Family Head, I won't leave either!"
"Me too!"
"And me!"
When one led, others followed in expressing their stance!
Soon, everyone had made their stance clear.
Hearing such words, Bai Xuening smiled with relief…
She knew that from now on, the Bai Family would truly begin to have cohesion.
After smiling, Bai Xuening gestured for everyone to quiet down and softly said, "Alright, everyone doesn't need to be so serious; it's not yet the most critical time!"
