Chapter 648: Bai Qingshi : Wants to Kill her!
Chu Xia cupped her face and looked at her husband in shock. She never once expected that Bai Qingshi would turn out to be a wife-beater; her mouth opened and closed. Words simply failed Chu Xia, who had been slapped so hard that she could feel her ears ringing.
"Bai Qingshi, you—"
"Shut up!" Bai Qingshi raised his voice and slapped the woman on the face once again. "Don’t even talk to me about that girl. She is so stupid that I don’t even know where to begin. We already have enough trouble at hand, and yet that girl is running amok. Who asked her to go and join Yu Miaomiao? She is useless and can’t do anything, yet she has so many designs in her head. If she is not stupid, then what else is she?"
He raised his hand and pointed at Chu Xia. "I am telling you, you’d better not cause any trouble for me. It’s bad enough that the girl was not able to awaken a proper skill, one that could help us survive. The last thing I need is for you to make trouble with Bai Feng. That boy has had enough of you two. If he kicks you out, then I am not going to stop him. I will let him kick you out and watch it from the sidelines."
Bai Qingshi was already filled with anger because of Bai Xue’s incompetence. Bai Feng was able to awaken, and so could Bai Meiyue. Even Bai Zhan and Bai Jixuan were able to awaken as strong and capable ability users who could defeat zombies with a snap of their fingers, but only Bai Xue was not able to awaken. What did it prove? That there was nothing wrong with his blood. It was Chu Xia who dragged him down.
These two women! Because of them, he was trapped in this small house with barely enough water and food. Now, he could only survive because he snatched Bai Feng from Yan Wanning. If he hadn’t sent Bai Feng away with the village woman when Bai Zhan was born and asked her to come find him when he was living in the city, who knows what kind of situation he might be in at the moment? The one thing that he now regretted the most was giving up on Yan Wanning. He should never have listened to Master Huang.
That man promised that he was going to come and take care of their family, but how many months had it been? In the past, Bai Qingshi was still a bit hopeful, but now he was completely hopeless. Master Huang seemed to have disappeared, and he didn’t even appear in the safe base. If Bai Qingshi could still not understand that they had been abandoned and Master Huang was only lying to him to placate him, he would be a fool.
That man must be thinking that, with the world coming to an end like this, how could Bai Qingshi even go to the capital and look for the Bai family in the capital? How could he even tell them about the exchange that happened almost fifty or sixty years ago? Especially with the zombies running amok. If Bai Qingshi could still reach the capital, then it would be nothing less than a miracle. All those letters and military messages that the man had sent him were nothing but a way to stabilise Bai Qingshi until the situation turned even worse, such that the secret would be buried alive with him.
What was more, Master Huang might have never expected that Bai Meiyue would be able to awaken and rescue Yan Wanning, who was living in the village, which explained why he was so careless. When Bai Qingshi thought about how that bastard had used him and then dumped him here, he felt angry and resentful. If he had known that this was going to happen, then instead of taking advantage of the small benefits, he would have taken Yan Wanning to the capital. Curse his mother for stopping him.
She told him that they would be imprisoned because of child trafficking, and he could only stay silent after knowing everything.
However, if he knew the future, then he would have certainly taken Yan Wanning to the capital!
Bai Qingshi bared his teeth at Chu Xia. Back then, he thought that marrying this woman was going to be a great way to get rid of Yan Wanning and the troubles that might come from staying with her. He knew that Master Huang was keeping an eye on the situation around the two of them. If he had got together with someone influential, Master Huang would have certainly killed him. Thus, marrying Chu Xia was the right bet. And this woman was carrying his child, so it worked quite well.
But now? Bai Qingshi only felt that he acted like a fool. He had such a good card in his hands, and he played it all wrong.
"You’d better stop worrying about that girl," he told Chu Xia. He knew that Bai Xue was not going to amount to anything. The only one who could sustain them was Bai Feng. Anyway, the one who wronged Bai Meiyue was Bai Xue; maybe if that woman died, Bai Meiyue might accept him. As long as he tried hard to push the blame on Chu Xia and Bai Xue, Bai Meiyue and her mother were bound to forgive him.
Maybe—
He looked down at Chu Xia, his eyes filled with a murderous rage that made Chu Xia shiver; she looked at the man in front of her and realised that Bai Qingshi was actually planning to kill her!
Chu Xia was not even surprised that Bai Feng was planning something like that; after all, staying in this safe area for so long had made her come to terms with the fact that they were abandoned by Master Huang. This meant that they were never going to be rescued, and Bai Qingshi was no fool; he must have realised that as well, which was why he was already looking for a way out, and the only way out of this hellhole was — Bai Meiyue!
