Chapter 223: Disciplining Bai Shengyi

~8 min read 1,422 words

Bai Wei delivered the Repeating Crossbow to Xiao Moting, then returned to the Farm.

Just as she walked through the main gate, the security guard came up to greet her.

"Boss Bai, just now your uncle—no, wait, Bai Shengyi and his family were poking their heads around outside the Farm gate again."

"They said you went to Yanjing, appeared on television, became a big celebrity, and made a lot of money."

"However, I didn't let them in and chased them all away."

Bai Wei nodded with satisfaction, "Well done. I have no relationship with them anymore. If they come again, just call the police."

As she was speaking, she suddenly heard a rustling sound.

Bai Wei looked up and was shocked to discover a figure appearing on the wall of the Farm's back gate.

She was stunned, "Aunt?"

There were security guards at the front gate of the Farm, so the Bai Shengyi family couldn't get in.

But Bai Wei hadn't expected that her aunt would actually step on Bai Shengyi's shoulders, standing on tiptoe to struggle up to the top of the wall, trying to climb over into the Farm.

At this moment, the aunt also saw Bai Wei and immediately shrieked at the top of her lungs.

"Bai Wei, did you go to Yanjing? And appear on television?"

"Whether I went or not, does it have anything to do with you?" Bai Wei said coldly.

The aunt put on a fawning smile, "Xiao Wei, you're being a stranger by saying that. We're family after all, aren't we? Come to think of it, you're my own dear niece; how could there be any overnight grudges between us?"

Bai Wei watched her smiling face full of obsequiousness and sneered in her heart.

What dear niece?

It was just because she saw that she had money now; back when she had no money, this family was nothing but trouble.

However, seeing the aunt's sycophantic appearance, she rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Aunt, I may have money, but what is it you want?"

"That's right." As soon as the aunt saw she wasn't angry, the smile on her face became even brighter, "Your cousin is at the age to get married, so I was thinking of buying him a house in the city, but the family has been having financial difficulties lately, so I wanted to borrow some money from you."

"Borrow money, huh." Bai Wei drew out the word "huh" extra long, deliberately feigning a thoughtful look, "Borrowing money is a big deal. By the way, Uncle is there too, right? Have him come up and talk to me about borrowing the money."

"This..." The aunt subconsciously looked down, "Your uncle and cousin are still down there holding the ladder for me. Why don't you let us into the Farm and we can talk face-to-face?"

"Let's just talk here." Bai Wei said with a beaming smile, "There are so many of you, I'm scared. What if you try to kidnap me again? Why don't you have the two of them climb up to the wall, and then we can talk about borrowing money."

"Huh?"

The aunt was stunned, her expression troubled.

She glanced at Bai Wei, revealing a fawning smile.

"Xiao Wei, I'll let your uncle talk to you, but since we're on the wall, how can we talk? Just let us in for a face-to-face talk; I promise I won't do anything to you this time."

"Aunt, I've been scared enough by you all, let's just talk here."

After Bai Wei finished speaking, she waved to the security guards, "Go move a ladder for my uncle and cousin, and let them climb up the wall to talk to me."

Having said that, she gave them a wink and lowered her voice.

"You move the ladder over and wait by the wall. I will call you, and then you do as I say."

The two security guards said "Okay" and hurriedly moved a wooden ladder toward the back gate.

Soon, another wooden ladder was set up against the wall.

Her uncle, Bai Shengyi, had long been waiting impatiently at the corner of the wall.

Her cousin, Bai Cai, was also urging them on constantly.

"Dad, hurry up and climb the wall to ask Bai Wei to borrow more money! She has the surname Bai; even if she doesn't acknowledge us, the blood of the Bai Family flows in her veins, so we are family! Since we are family, her money is our money."

"Exactly." The aunt climbed to the top of the wall, "Blood is thicker than water. I don't believe Bai Wei won't acknowledge her kin; I'll make sure she feels the pressure."

On the wall of the Farm's backyard, a circle of razor wire was installed, with a layer of wire mesh on top.

The wire mesh was over a meter high and very sturdy; a few sparrows were perched on it.

The aunt carefully grabbed the wire mesh, placing both feet on the top of the wall to avoid being cut by the razor wire.

After standing steady, she urged those below, "Hurry up and come up."

"Son, don't you worry." Bai Shengyi patted his chest to guarantee while climbing the ladder, "I'll have a good talk with Bai Wei in a moment. I'm her uncle; we will definitely get a share of the antiques in her hands. Once we borrow the money, we'll buy a house and a car."

Bai Cai asked anxiously, "Dad, how much do you plan to borrow? You can't borrow too little. She has money; I checked online. The antiques she took to the Antique Exhibition in Yanjing are worth hundreds of millions."

Bai Shengyi thought for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"Let's borrow one hundred million from her first."

"One hundred million?" The aunt's eyes widened in surprise, "How will we ever be able to pay that back?"

"Pay it back? Why pay it back?" Bai Cai curled his lips, "Mom, why should we pay back money we borrowed with our own ability? Only a fool would pay her back!"

Bai Shengyi had already climbed the ladder and unhappily scolded the aunt in a low voice.

"What a foolish woman. Bai Wei is a member of our Bai Family; we don't need to pay back money borrowed from her."

The few of them lowered their voices and whispered to each other, thinking no one could hear them.

But they forgot that there was surveillance installed on the wall.

One of the surveillance cameras was right next to them.

Bai Wei opened the surveillance app on her phone, turned on the real-time footage from the camera next to them, and heard every word they said clearly.

Borrow one hundred million?

Not pay her back?

Bai Wei sneered in her heart.

These people's wishful thinking was truly loud.

However, since they were being heartless, she wouldn't be blamed for being unrighteous.

Bai Wei immediately opened her phone and called the security guards.

"The three from the Bai Family have already climbed onto the wall, right?"

"President Bai, yes."

Bai Wei nodded, "Good, take the ladder away and let them hang out on the wall."

On top of the wall.

Bai Shengyi had already steadied himself, his left hand gripping the barbed wire and his right hand supporting his son, trembling with fear.

"Bai, Bai Wei, regarding the past, your uncle admits his mistake to you."

"Your cousin is in trouble now; you cannot just stand by and watch him die."

"We don't need much; just lend your cousin one hundred million, and when the family has money next year, we will definitely pay it back..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw the security guards moving the ladder away and immediately screamed in panic.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Wei spoke with a smile.

"Bai Shengyi, you want to borrow money from me? I'll tell you right now, I won't lend you a single cent."

"Your family likes climbing walls? Then just hang out on the wall for the night."

She looked up at the sky.

The sky was overcast, with dark clouds hanging low.

Bai Wei feigned surprise, "Oh my, the weather forecast said there would be a thunderstorm soon; you'd better not get soaked while staying on the wall."

"The ladder, bring the ladder back!" the Aunt screamed in a panic.

But the security guards were Bai Wei's people and did not listen to her at all, walking away with the ladder.
