Chapter 1540: Chapter 1544 Backbone
The butler was going to worry himself sick.
The old madam of their household was really… so unreliable.
She was just asking their cousin all kinds of questions about Bai Xiaodie, as if Bai Xiaodie was her own flesh and blood.
But now, after being retorted by their cousin with a few words, she fled in panic, not even caring if Bai Xiaodie was dead or alive.
This is truly…
The butler held Bai Xiaodie, looking helpless and at a loss.
So now, what should he do with Bai Xiaodie?
Should he take Bai Xiaodie to the guest room, or send her back to the Bai Family?
He couldn’t make a decision and had to look to Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xingbei glanced at Bai Xiaodie with disgust: “Throw her in the basement, have someone keep a good watch on her, don’t let her get away.”
“This…” The butler was a bit hesitant.
No matter what, she was still the only family member of the Senior Madame.
Throwing her in the basement, wouldn’t that be a bit too harsh?
Ye Xingbei coldly said, “She’s purchased prohibited drugs and even drugged my Second Brother, she’s already committed a crime. Once my grandpa returns and we inform him, we siblings will definitely send her to jail. Does Butler Uncle think such a person deserves to live in the Xie family’s house?”
Facing Ye Xingbei’s cold gaze, the butler shivered inwardly and nodded repeatedly, “Right, right, Miss Beibei is right, I’ll have someone send her to the basement right away for custody!”
He had just been momentarily muddled.
From what he knew about Senior Master Xie, Senior Master Xie hated crooked and illegal things the most.
Moreover, Senior Madame Xie was most fair and just, never covering up for or tolerating wrongdoing.
Bai Xiaodie bought and used prohibited drugs, violating the country’s laws and regulations. No matter who she was, once the master knows, he would definitely bring her to justice!
After understanding this point, he immediately called over several bodyguards to have them lock Bai Xiaodie in the basement.
As Senior Madame Xie left and Bai Xiaodie was taken away, the butler led the bodyguards and servants to retreat outside, leaving the room much emptier.
Ye Xingbei asked the family doctor urgently, “How about it? Haven’t woken him up yet?”
The family doctor shook his head helplessly, “I’ve tried everything, there’s absolutely nothing more I can do.”
“Is there a risk to his life?” Ye Xingbei was sweating with anxiety, her heart was pounding hard.
“There shouldn’t be,” the doctor replied, “Second Young Master’s various physical indicators are all normal, waking up is just a matter of time.”
“Then, then…” Ye Xingbei asked, uncertain: “Can we wait for my Second Brother to wake up before resolving the issue of him being drugged?”
“I’m afraid not,” the doctor said, “This drug is best dealt with as early as possible, otherwise no one knows what dreadful consequences it might lead to.”
Ye Xingbei was practically driven to madness with anxiety.
Gu Junzhu pulled her into his embrace, gently patting her to reassure, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, Han Zuo is a living example, isn’t he doing well now?”
“But shortly after Han Zuo was drugged, you sent him to Xiao Xue’s place, and Xiao Xue quickly agreed to…” Ye Xingbei was embarrassed to speak directly, vaguely glossing over: “But look at my Second Brother, he’s already passed out!”
Ye Xingbei’s heart felt like it was thrown into hot oil, agitated beyond knowing what to do.
“Just wait a little longer!” Gu Junzhu consoled her with a pat, “Wait until Yue Yaer arrives, see what she says, don’t worry, we will definitely find a way to solve it.”
“But how to solve it? My Second Brother doesn’t have a girlfriend, is he really going to have to sleep with Bai Xiaodie?” Seeing Xie Jinfei in such a condition, Ye Xingbei was completely unable to feel relief.
