Chapter 427: Chapter 398: Take Good Care of Yourself, Newspaper Declaration_1

Bai Qiongyu, who was talking to her subordinates, finally noticed Ye Weiwen’s arrival.

"Get him out. If someone came without an appointment, those responsible are derelict in their duties, fire them all," Bai Qiongyu said calmly, not even bothering to give Ye Weiwen a glance as she turned and walked towards her office.

Ye Weiwen was startled and cursed, "Bai Qiongyu, you shameless woman. You can’t give the Xin Family’s property to your bastard child!"

Bastard child?

That was her once lost treasure, finally reclaimed after much difficulty.

Nobody could talk about them like that!

"Are all of you dead? Throw him out," Bai Qiongyu said, looking towards Ye Weiwen, "From now on, neither you nor your two sons will get a penny from me."

Ye Weiwen yelled and shouted, "That is the Xin Family’s money, not yours. You have to return it."

Bai Qiongyu had already entered the conference room and paid no attention to Ye Weiwen.

Ye Weiwen wanted to say more, but his mouth was covered by a bodyguard, and he was thrown out.

Ye Weiwen was at the entrance of the Bai Family’s company, disheveled and cursing loudly.

Someone called the police, and after a while, the officers arrived.

Xin Anan hurried over and pulled away her mother, who was still cursing non-stop.

Seeing this, Xin Anan knew her mother had not succeeded.

"Mom, what do we do now?" Xin Anan asked, "Didn’t the stepmother agree?"

"With so much money, Bai Qiongyu would never part with it," Ye Weiwen said, "Let’s go back and think of another way!"

Xin Anan felt disappointed in her heart, so much money!

Bai Qiongyu acted as if nothing had happened and continued the meeting, finishing today’s work very quickly.

Bai Qiongyu got into the car home and closed her eyes to rest.

Once at home, Xianglan brought her a cup of tea.

"Miss, what’s wrong?" Xianglan asked, noticing something unusual in her mistress’s expression.

Bai Qiongyu took a sip of tea, and while her lips curled into a sneer, she said coldly, "Ye Weiwen actually went to the company to insult me, wanting to take back the wealth Old Xin left me."

"Ridiculous!" Xianglan exclaimed, "Shameless! How dare she say such things."

"Exactly," Bai Qiongyu replied, "I had thought of giving them something, but since they want to take it back this way, I won’t give them a cent."

"Of course you shouldn’t. Donate it, but don’t give it to them," Xianglan said, "Miss, don’t be angry. I will send someone to investigate."

"Hmm, keep someone on them at all times," Bai Qiongyu said, "I can’t let them off so easily anymore. All this time, out of respect for Old Xin, I haven’t given them a hard time. Since someone fails to appreciate this, they can’t blame me for not being polite anymore."

Just then, a servant came to report that the young master had come over.

"Why has he come over?" Xianglan asked, looking at the mistress.

Bai Qiongyu sneered, "What else could it be for?"

Soon enough, Xin Wei entered.

Xin Wei, having received the report from his subordinate, was fuming about his mother’s actions, frustrated that someone had not managed to hold her back, causing such chaos.

"Mother, I’m sorry. I had already warned Mom earlier, but..." Xin Wei said with difficulty, "It’s my fault for being useless and not able to persuade them."

Bai Qiongyu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you here to plead for her?"

Xin Wei looked embarrassed and nodded.

"Should I forgive her, then?" Bai Qiongyu asked softly, but her tone carried an unmistakable pressure.

Xin Wei knew doing this would let his stepmother feel cold, but he couldn’t stand idly by while his mother was being suppressed by his stepmother!

"Mother, I beg you," Xin Wei pleaded, "I will definitely talk to mom today and ask her not to do that anymore."

"Ah Wei, this is the last time I will call your name. This is our last emotional connection," Bai Qiongyu said, "If we meet in the future, don’t talk to me. I never expected a stepchild to be dutiful to me, but neither did I hope for a stepchild to repeatedly carve my heart out."

"Mother..." Xin Wei became frantic, "I still respect you very much."

"Ever since you time and again sided with your unreasonable biological mother, making things difficult for me, a stepmother with no blood relation, our emotional bond has become thinner and thinner," Bai Qiongyu said, "I promise you, I won’t target Bai Qiongyu and Xin Anan this time."

"Mother!" Xin Wei knelt down, begging his stepmother for forgiveness.

Bai Qiongyu scoffed coldly and turned away without a word.

Seeing Xin Wei still kneeling there, Xianglan, who had watched him grow up, sighed and said, "Ah Wei, you need to look after yourself from now on. Miss’s heart has been completely hurt by you all. She didn’t say anything before thinking you could come back to your senses, but you only got worse, making Miss suffer."

"Aunt Lan, I really will persuade mom this time," Xin Wei defended himself, "It won’t happen again."

Xianglan found his words aggravating and said, "Ah Wei, how many times have you said that? Can you even keep count?"

Xianglan’s words made Xin Wei’s breath stop for a moment.

Indeed, every time there was trouble, he would come begging his stepmother, hoping she would forgive his mother and sister.

"You should go back," Xianglan said, "Take care of yourself."

Xin Wei didn’t know how he managed to leave the place, standing at the doorway, he felt an overwhelming sense of desolation looking at the tall gates.

However, the next morning, before Xin Wei even got out of bed, he received a call from Li Yushan.

"Xin Wei, get a divorce immediately. If you don’t sign, I will sue you for divorce right away. Wait for my lawyer’s letter," Li Yushan spoke rapidly, and without waiting for Xin Wei to respond, she hung up the phone right away.

Xin Wei was dumbfounded. Early in the morning, what was happening with Yushan?

Xin Wei thought his wife was just being petulant and didn’t take it seriously. He would do everything according to his wife’s wishes from now on; why would they get a divorce!

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Xin Wei went downstairs for breakfast, where several newspapers lay on the table.

As usual, Xin Wei read the newspapers while eating.

But the news that day left Xin Wei blank.

At that moment, the servants were nowhere to be seen in the house, having all hidden themselves away.

It took a while for Xin Wei to realize why his wife wanted a divorce first thing in the morning!

The newspaper clearly reported that Bai Qiongyu, Xin Wei, and Xin Anan were disassociating themselves from their family relations.

His father had passed away, and although there was still a legal relationship between stepson and stepdaughter, he knew after begging his stepmother time and again that there was little affection left.

Yesterday, his stepmother and Aunt Lan told him to take care of himself, and he naively thought it would be like before, but he was mistaken.

A person’s affections, much like time, once wasted, can never be bought back even with money!

His stepmother’s actions might not change much legally, but they sent a message to the outside world: The Xin siblings were no longer under the protection of Bai Qiongyu.

Whatever happened to the Xin Family in the future, it wouldn’t concern her.

Anan was not good at managing, and she might not realize that if not for her stepmother, her company would have gone bankrupt amidst fierce competition long ago.

Xin Wei also understood that the steady development of his own company over the years, even with so much money taken out, was still running well, and his stepmother had something to do with it.

Some business partners, out of respect for his stepmother, did not make things difficult for them.

But after this declaration, those people would no longer have any qualms.
