However, not many people present pitied her. Only Mi Na’s mother was wiping her tears. She turned to Mi Li and said, “Sister, is there no other way?”

“No,” Bai Ting said on behalf of her mother. “Although the Jiang family’s power is not in Sea City, the entire Xiyun is under the Jiang family’s control. If they want anything to happen to the Mi family, it’s just a matter of words. No family will help you. Offending the Jiang family under such a disparity in strength is a very stupid thing.”

Mi Li nodded. “That’s the Jiang family that even the four major families don’t dare to underestimate. Even if our two families are added together, we can’t compare to even a fraction of them.”

Mi Na cried even louder when she heard this. She did not think that she had done anything wrong. Moreover, she had heard a lot of Zheng Wen’s description of Jiang An and thought that she was a person who submitted to everything.

Therefore, she would definitely not be ruthless facing the Mi family. It was just a few harsh words. It was not a big deal.

The Mi family didn’t understand the severity of the matter either. They had always been relying on the Bai family to live, and everything had been smooth sailing in Sea City. They had long forgotten what fear was.

The Mi family looked at Bai Ting blankly. Mi Na’s mother said, “Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just two people bickering. The Jiang family shouldn’t be so petty. Don’t scare Mi Na here.”

Bai Ting did not expect the entire family to be so stupid. She turned to look at Mi Li and said, “Mom, I’ve said everything that needs to be said. Since they insist on not apologizing, what happens next has nothing to do with the Bai family.”

“That won’t do. Our Mi family’s daughter married into your Bai family. Our families are relatives,” Mi Na’s father, who had been silent, said.

Bai Ting did not care that he was an elder. “Relative? At the end of the day, you’re not even my mother’s biological brother. You’re just a distant cousin. It’s only because the Bai family acknowledges you as relatives that you can rely on our family to live a good life. Now that we don’t acknowledge you, what can you do?”

These words were really choking. Mi Na’s father could not say anything to refute them.

Mi Li couldn’t bear it and reached out to gently pull her daughter’s sleeve.

“Mom, I won’t help them anymore. From today onwards, the Bai family and the Mi family have nothing to do with each other.” Bai Ting’s attitude was firm. “Unless you want our entire family to be hated by the Jiang family.”

Mi Li lowered her head and stopped talking. In the end, the Mi family was not as important as her husband and daughter.

Mi Na’s father said in exasperation, “You have to get married one day. The Bai family is not up to you alone.”

“Then you’re wrong. Regardless of whether I get married in the future, I’ll inherit the Bai family.” Bai Ting stood up and looked down at the Mi family. “Don’t expect me to support you.”

Bai Ting had never liked the Mi family. They were clearly distant relatives, but they tried so hard to get close to them and ask for benefits from the Bai family from time to time.

She had also asked her father why he was spoiling these people. Her father held her in his arms and said, “These people have the surname Mi after all. I’m helping your mother by helping them. Let people think that your mother still has her maiden family and is not easy to bully alone.”

But now, Bai Ting felt that her father had done something wrong. After so many years of help, the Mi family’s greed was insatiable. They had never thought of relying on themselves to make a living.

Mi Na was not as naive as the other Mi family members. She had always been by Bai Ting’s side and knew that once she abandoned them, no one could stop her.

Without the backing of the Bai family, the Mi family would definitely decline. At that time, they would even be inferior to ordinary people. She would definitely not be able to endure such a life. She would not even be able to fork out the money to buy drugs.

Mi Na quickly crawled over and grabbed her skirt. “Sister, you can’t just dust your hands and go. We grew up together.”

Bai Ting was not moved. She lowered her head and said, “Then when you fell in love with your brother-in-law, did you ever consider that I was your sister?”

The words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone in the living room. Mi Na could not believe that Bai Ting knew what she had said, even though she had not seen anyone in the banquet hall that day.

Mi Na’s mother still did not understand what had happened. She asked, “What do you mean by liking her brother-in-law? When did Bai Ting get married?”

“That’s right. Don’t talk nonsense here,” Mi Na’s father said unhappily.

Bai Ting smiled when she saw their reaction. “Then you have to ask your darling daughter what she has done. She even said it in public. If I help the Mi family today, the entire Sea City will probably laugh at me for being a fool
