Chapter 212 The Bai Family, Quarrels, Family Property
Now look what's happened, he's lost his life.
He has no one to blame but himself.
Bai Ruanyu wasn't the only one who shared this idea; her three other brothers did too. Only the fifth brother of the Bai family disagreed, believing that his eldest brother simply wanted to find happiness of his own.
Bai Mosheng glanced coldly at her third sister, then swept her gaze over the others.
He didn't say anything, but silently stood up and was about to leave.
Just as he was about to step out the door.
A voice suddenly called out to him.
"Fifth brother, where are you going? Father is going to bring back eldest brother's daughter. Aren't you going to say anything? If this child comes back, she will definitely turn the Bai family upside down and seize the Bai family's property."
Bai Mosheng paused, his back to the room.
His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
Bai Mosheng sneered, "Steal the family property? Ha, this property still belongs to the eldest brother. This property originally belonged to the eldest brother. Even if the eldest niece comes back, this property will still be hers. No one can steal it."
After saying that, Bai Mosheng flicked her sleeves and was about to leave.
Bai Mohan glanced sideways at the fifth brother, listening to what he had to say.
Is this even humanly to say? And how could he say it in front of his brothers and sisters? Knowing full well that they were fighting tooth and nail for the resources left by their eldest brother, he just laid it all out in the open.
He truly isn't afraid of angering his second and fourth brothers.
Immediately, his gaze fell on his fourth brother, and he saw Bai Moyu playing with the jade pendant. Upon closer inspection, wasn't that the jade pendant that his eldest brother had given him before? What, the fourth brother still keeps the things his eldest brother gave him?
Is this a sign of nostalgia, or something else?
The next second, Bai Yiyun, the second brother, slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Fifth brother, what do you mean by saying the family property belongs to our eldest niece? Some of it is what we worked hard to earn. Why should we give it to her? Even if it was left by our eldest brother, it doesn't have many resources. I can still afford to give it all to her. But to give it all to her? We'll have to see if she can handle it."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mosheng sneered: "A little bit of resources? Ha, if my elder brother were still alive, would you dare say that to his face? That's what you call a little bit of cultivation resources? The resources my elder brother left behind are enough for the Bai family to live on for several lifetimes. Do you even need to give them to us?"
Bai Mosheng turned her head and stared intently at Bai Yiyun.
"Second brother, you and I both know that the resources left by eldest brother are far more complex than they appear on the surface. He lived a low-key and unassuming life, and his wealth and resources are far beyond our easy estimation."
Bai Yiyun felt somewhat uncomfortable under Bai Mosheng's gaze.
But he still responded firmly: "Fifth brother, you make it sound so easy! After eldest brother passed away, which of us hasn't done our best to maintain the Bai family's business? Are we supposed to just give all that effort for nothing, while that kid comes back and gets to reap the benefits?"
At this moment, Bai Moyu, who had been silent all along, put down the jade pendant in his hand and looked up at his second brother: "Second brother, if you want the wealth and cultivation resources left by eldest brother, you should see if you can carry them. There are some things you can take, but there are others you should forget about."
How could Bai Moyu not know that his second brother had always wanted the Nine-Turn Exquisite Jade? He had even set his sights on his eldest brother. Many years ago, his eldest brother had made it clear that the Bai family could use some things, but there were some things that they were not allowed to take out at will.
But, by sheer coincidence, my second brother took a fancy to the Nine-Turn Exquisite Jade.
If he wants the Nine-Turn Exquisite Jade, we'll have to see if he can even lift it. But isn't that person also thinking of getting the Nine-Turn Exquisite Jade from the Treasure Pavilion? Could it be that Second Brother is going to cooperate with him?
Thinking of this, a dark light flashed in Bai Moyu's eyes.
If that's really the case, then don't blame him for being impolite.
What belongs to the eldest brother belongs to the eldest brother, and no one can take it away.
Even a half-brother from the same mother is not allowed!
Seeing this, Bai Mosheng raised an eyebrow and looked at her second brother.
"Second brother, no matter how much you fight, it's all in vain. Some things don't belong to the Bai family, nor to you. Just give up. What the eldest brother left behind will only belong to your eldest niece."
Bai Yiyun's expression changed drastically after hearing what they said. He looked at the fifth brother and his three other brothers with a gloomy expression. He gritted his teeth and glared at the fifth brother. Why did the fifth brother say such nasty things?
Suddenly, Bai Moyu interjected, "If you want to fight, then go ahead and fight. Anyway, I have no interest in fighting, and I have no interest in snatching those family assets."
Family property and the like are completely unimportant to him.
Bai Yiyun glared at the fourth brother with great displeasure.
What is this fourth son saying? Does he really dislike fighting over the family property?
He didn't believe it. If they really weren't going to fight over it, then what was the purpose of the fourth brother's little schemes? To believe him would be suspicious.
They still managed to secure a place in this battle for the family fortune.
Bai Mohan couldn't help but speak up at this moment: "Fourth brother, you make it sound so easy. Don't think I didn't know about your little tricks before. You just wanted to strike first, control some resources, and then retreat to advance, right?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Moyu simply smiled calmly.
There was no rebuttal, even if there had been.
In their eyes, it's all about seizing family property.
He genuinely doesn't care about family assets or anything like that.
What he cared about was his older brother.
It's just a bit of a pity, if only my older brother were still alive.
How heartbroken would one be to see this?
Nowadays, Bai Moyu is feeling a bit tired, so tired that he wants to leave the Bai family.
He also wanted to leave the Bai family decisively, just like his older brother.
Unfortunately, I had no choice in the matter.
As a member of the Bai family, how could I leave so easily?
Bai Moyu shook his head and smiled lightly, "Say what you want, you chat. I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Having said that, Bai Moyu ignored everyone else.
He simply slipped away.
Bai Ruan stared wide-eyed in the direction her fourth brother had left.
Is Fourth Brother thinking of leaving the Bai family?
No, absolutely not!
We can't let Fourth Brother leave.
Bai Ruan's face darkened, and she looked at her second brother: "Second brother, I think fourth brother wants to take this opportunity to leave the Bai family. Do you think we should tell Father?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yiyun slowly raised his head and turned to Bai Ruanyu.
He narrowed his eyes, a hint of mockery appearing in them, and then sneered, "Leave the Bai family? We'll see if he has the guts. He won't get past the clan elders."
Leaving the Bai family? That's impossible.
Don't even think about it, Fourth Brother!
Bai Mohan glanced at her third sister and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Third sister, you're really full of tricks. You're biting fourth brother in the back. Let me ask you, has fourth brother ever said he wanted to leave the Bai family? Come on, tell me, when did fourth brother ever say he wanted to leave the Bai family?"
