My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 327 - 7: Bai Wei

Ye Wanwan is the youngest daughter of the Ye Family Head, pampered since childhood, cherished by her father and three brothers, getting whatever she wants. Bai Wei, on the other hand, even though she’s the daughter of the Bai Family Head, isn’t the only daughter in the Bai Family, and the Bai Family Master favors sons over daughters. So, while she’s not exactly mistreated, she only has what’s necessary, and nothing more.

Because of this, Bai Wei has always disliked Ye Wanwan. Ye Wanwan is more beautiful, more talented, and most importantly, she has the unconditional love of her family, while Bai Wei has to work hard to earn a little attention from her father.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, she’s been envious of Ye Wanwan. Whenever she could, she’d cause trouble for Ye Wanwan. But Ye Wanwan, though naive, is no pushover, and with her family’s support, Bai Wei almost always ends up at a loss. Yet she never tires of it.

Ye Wanwan really despises Bai Wei’s behavior over the years, but she can’t solve the problem of Bai Wei once and for all.

Just like now, she can tell at a glance that Bai Wei is deliberately stirring up trouble, wanting to upset her, so she’s blunt with her words.

Bai Wei knows the Ye Family pampers Ye Wanwan. Her earlier words were intended to tarnish Ye Wanwan’s reputation, but she felt a bit angry being rebuffed by Ye Wanwan.

"Ye Wanwan, I was just trying to advise you out of goodwill, so people won’t think of you as an ingrate. Your third brother spoils you so much, yet you are out here wandering while he’s injured. That’s not right." Bai Wei, pretending to be considerate of Ye Wanwan, showed malicious intentions in her eyes.

"That’s not your concern. You said it yourself, my third brother dotes on me, how would he think I’m ungrateful? You should worry about yourself. I heard your Bai Family is planning to unite with the Sheng Family. The Sheng Family’s second son, while a profligate and a womanizer, is quite favored by the Sheng Family Master. Marrying him might not be bad for you." Ye Wanwan sneered, dismissing Bai Wei’s words with contempt.

Upon hearing this, Bai Wei’s face suddenly turned pale.

It was only recently that Bai Wei found out about the Bai Family and Sheng Family’s marriage attempt. She also knew her father intended for her to marry the Sheng Family’s second son, Sheng Ping. But Sheng Ping was nothing but a useless playboy, spending his days in brothels and not a good match at all!

However, she didn’t dare approach her father about it, knowing she didn’t matter much to him. Sheng Ping was beloved by the Sheng Family Master. If she were to marry Sheng Ping and win him over, the relationship between the Sheng and Bai Families would surely strengthen, which is exactly what her father wanted.

Hence, her father wouldn’t care about Sheng Ping’s character, only the benefits behind the matter.

Already troubled by this, Bai Wei spoke mockingly to Ye Wanwan earlier. But being reminded of it now, she felt humiliated.

"Ye Wanwan, don’t be too smug. Your third brother is injured, and whether he recovers is uncertain. He definitely won’t make it for the Langya Immortal Sect selection soon. Your Ye Family is already in decline, and missing this chance, I wonder how you plan to bounce back!" she said, pale-faced, gritting her teeth maliciously.

To unsettle Ye Wanwan, Bai Wei deliberately targeted Ye Wanwan’s weaknesses. Knowing the recent concerns of the Ye Family, Bai Wei’s words made Ye Wanwan’s face change.

"As I said, you handle your own affairs. My third brother will be fine. With his talent, he will certainly be chosen by the Langya Immortal Sect!" Ye Wanwan, having matured lately, remained calm despite Bai Wei’s spiteful remarks, although visibly upset.

In her heart, Ye Wanwan believed her third brother would recover, and the situation of the Ye Family will improve.

Hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Bai Wei’s face darkened even more. She never expected Ye Wanwan, whom she hadn’t seen for a few days, to be more resilient than before. In the past, with this provocation, Ye Wanwan would have retaliated physically. Yet now, she’s calmly engaging in a war of words, leaving Bai Wei in disbelief.

While Ye Wanwan and Bai Wei quarreled, Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu stood nearby, overhearing enough to grasp the gist quickly. Especially since the third young master of the Ye Family’s injury wasn’t a secret in Purple Sunset City, Gu Qingqing had heard about it days ago. Now hearing their argument, they understood the seriousness of the injury and that the relationship between the Bai and Ye Families was just as strained as rumors suggested.

Bai Wei and Ye Wanwan exchanged a few more words, with Ye Wanwan remaining composed, refraining from her previous approach of physically confronting Bai Wei. This left Bai Wei not only disappointed but feeling stung by Ye Wanwan’s remarks, glaring at Ye Wanwan unfavorably.

"Geng Geng, it’s getting late. Didn’t you say we were going to eat? I’m hungry." Gu Qingqing genuinely was hungry and found watching Ye Wanwan and Bai Wei argue quite boring, so she tugged on Ye Wanwan’s sleeve and softly suggested.

In the midst of her confrontation with Bai Wei, Ye Wanwan paused, remembering the purpose of her visit was to bring Gu Qingqing for some food, not to argue with Bai Wei.

She glanced at Bai Wei, a trace of reproach in her eyes. If it weren’t for Bai Wei’s provocation, would she have forgotten her primary purpose and wasted so much time?

"Geng Geng, I’m sorry, we’ll go eat now." Ye Wanwan hurriedly apologized to Gu Qingqing, then pulled Gu Qingqing’s hand and walked towards the private room.

Gu Qingqing naturally wouldn’t get angry with Ye Wanwan and followed Ye Wanwan’s lead inside, with Jun Wu following right behind her, not even sparing Bai Wei a glance.

Bai Wei was momentarily stunned, somewhat surprised to see Ye Wanwan suddenly leave.

She looked at Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, searching her mind, but couldn’t identify the two, frowning slightly.

She had battled with Ye Wanwan for so many years and considered herself quite familiar with Ye Wanwan. In the past, when she quarreled with Ye Wanwan, it would always take a long time, and someone would have to intervene to mediate before she would leave. But this time, the other party just mentioned being hungry, and Ye Wanwan immediately gave up the argument, even seeming to forget she was there. This left Bai Wei feeling like she had nowhere to direct her strength.

"Bai Xin, have you seen those two before?" She asked the woman beside her, slightly turning her head.

Bai Xin, a collateral disciple of the Bai Family who always followed Bai Wei, thought for a moment, realizing she hadn’t seen those two before, and shook her head.

Seeing this, Bai Wei’s frown deepened.

She had noticed that Ye Wanwan was very concerned about that woman and was very close to her, something she had never seen Ye Wanwan do before. However, she didn’t know that person’s identity, which made Bai Wei very unhappy.

Ye Wanwan had already entered the private room, so Bai Wei couldn’t inquire further and could only return to her room, while also sending someone to investigate the identities of Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu.

...

Inside their private room, Ye Wanwan ordered one of each dish she had mentioned earlier, then turned to look at Gu Qingqing.

"Geng Geng, let me tell you, the guy we ran into earlier is called Bai Wei, she’s the third daughter of the Bai Family Master. The Bai Family is different from our Ye Family. Our Ye Family has only me as a daughter, so my father and others spoil me very much. However, the Bai Family Master has three daughters and prefers sons over daughters, never really caring much about them. Bai Wei put in a lot of effort to gain her father’s favor, making her the most favored among the daughters, but she has always been jealous of me, so every time we meet, she gives me trouble," Ye Wanwan explained briefly about her grievances with Bai Wei.

Gu Qingqing understood that this wasn’t the first time she’d seen such situations and wasn’t surprised.

"Ever since Third Brother got injured, Bai Wei would bring it up every time to provoke me. I fell for it twice before, but Second Brother has analyzed it for me, and now I know how to deal with Bai Wei. Today, I didn’t let her get the better of me." By the end, Ye Wanwan sounded quite triumphant.

In previous confrontations with Bai Wei, although she always won in the end, there were hurdles, and she would suffer some grievances, which tarnished her reputation in Purple Sunset City. Her Second and Third Brothers had admonished her countless times, but this time she didn’t let Bai Wei provoke her.

"Wanwan is truly amazing." Gu Qingqing gave Ye Wanwan a thumbs up and smiled.

Receiving praise from Gu Qingqing, Ye Wanwan felt very happy and a bit shy, pursing her lips and smiling.

The hotel’s service was quite fast, and it wasn’t long before the dishes they ordered were served. Ye Wanwan introduced each dish to Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu. Gu Qingqing, a known food lover, found the taste quite good after trying them and was very pleased with Ye Wanwan’s arrangement.

"Wanwan, you mentioned before that you went to the Sunset Mountain Range to help your brother find herbs. What herbs are you looking for?" After finishing the meal, the three were having tea to aid digestion when Gu Qingqing suddenly asked.

"It’s the Floating Moon Flower, a fifth-grade Immortal Flower. It’s rumored to be in the middle of the Sunset Mountain Range. Our family has been there many times but hasn’t found it. I was trying to help my elder brother, but I got lost." Mentioning this, Ye Wanwan’s mood also turned a bit low.

The injury of the third brother had been a significant blow to the Ye Family. In the past two years, the Ye Family had been jointly suppressed by the Bai and Sheng Families. Although things weren’t going well, it wasn’t hopeless. The Four Great Immortal Sects conducted disciple selections at intervals, and if someone from the Ye Family were chosen, the Bai and Sheng Families wouldn’t dare to act against them. Originally, her third brother was highly talented and not very old, making him a promising candidate for selection. But who knew that he would get secretly injured going to the Sunset Mountain Range to battle with a spirit beast to improve his skills?

In fact, the family had always suspected that the injuries of the third brother involved the Bai and Sheng Families’ doing, but they had no evidence. What’s most important now is to heal the third brother’s injuries so that he can participate in the Langya Immortal Sect’s disciple selection.
