Chapter 646: Bai Xue: I regret it
When Xiao Chenye heard Bai Meiyue’s straightforward command, he hesitated. He knew that he couldn’t leave. After all, if they leave, where will they get the baby bottles and clothes for their young master? This was the only place where they could look for these things. If they walked out of this safe base, then they would have to drive all the way to the Cloud City. The safe base of their city was not a place where they could stay, and the cloud city was way too far from their city. If they drove for that long—could their young master even survive that?
But making Fu Wan work? That was an even more impossible task. He gritted his teeth and said to Bai Meiyue, "Miss Bai, can you please accept one of my conditions?"
When Bai Meiyue didn’t say anything, he took it as a silent approval. He spoke tentatively, "Miss Bai, my eldest lady has never done any work. Even when she was not married into the Bai family, she had lived the life of a young heiress. She is the daughter of Chief Fu... the director of the main hospital at the capital. You might have heard about him."
Of course, she had not heard about him, but she had also met with him many times. That man was as unscrupulous as possible. No wonder he raised a daughter like Fu Wan. He somehow managed to survive the apocalypse, even though he was trapped in the city hospital of the capital. He was like a scourge that even the heavens would avoid, and somehow managed to survive the ordeal even though he was trapped among countless zombies.
And after surviving, that man didn’t learn how to count his blessings. If anything, he started to treat others at the hospital at the safe base in the capital. Of course, his greed and cruelty didn’t change much; thus, Bai Meiyue heard a lot about him.
"So what?"
"So I wanted to ask if we can do her part of the work?" Xiao Chenye asked with a soft voice. "I promise that we will not slack off and do our part as well as her part very well. If you agree, then the Bai family would certainly owe you a favour."
When Bai Meiyue heard Xiao Chenye’s response, she arched a brow. Well, now that was an offer that she couldn’t pass up. Not that the Bai family was going to refuse her any favour after all; she had saved their grandchild as well as Old Master Bai’s life, but if she could make Bai Wenxuan owe her even more, then it would certainly be better.
After all, the Bai family was not simple. It had quite a lot of influence in the capital, even in the post-apocalyptic world. Though they were shaken up a little, nothing changed for the Bai family, as they had companies all over the world and manufactured most of the military defence systems. They also had first-class medicine research centres under their name, along with several acres of farmland and livestock farms. Though the Bai family had separated due to the apocalypse, the three heirs of the Bai family soon rejoined the family in the capital and took over the three pillars that once helped the Bai family to rise to the top.
Those three men lived quite a generous life in her past life. While she had the bartering system, there was nothing wrong with letting the Bai family owe her; after all, having a strong thigh to hold onto would ultimately help her son.
Thus, Bai Meiyue decided to show some grace to Xiao Chenye. "Fine. Since you want to do her part of the work, then I will not stop you, but you’d better tell that woman not to cause trouble for me." She could not make Fu Wan work for her; after all, who told that woman to be related to the ’The’ Bai family? But she could at least stop her from causing trouble.
"Don’t worry, Miss Bai. I will make sure that Miss Fu will not cause any trouble for you."
Bai Meiyue nodded and then turned on her feet just as Nurse Lin told Xiao Chenye to come and write down the IOU for the Bai family.
On the other side, while Bai Meiyue was having a little trouble with Fu Wan, Bai Xue was also caught in a dilemma. She looked at her mother, who had snuck close to the safe area, and moaned in agony, "Mom, where is Brother Feng? Why hasn’t he come to save me? Chief Yu told me that if he doesn’t arrive, then she will throw me among those who were suffering from Corpse Virus!"
After Bai Meiyue’s departure from the safe base, the number of corpse virus victims started to rise, and now many of these people were quarantined in a separate room. But there was no point in putting them all together because there was no point! They had not developed any kind of vaccine for this virus, which meant that there was no hope for them.
Bai Xue came to the safe base, thinking that Bai Feng would certainly come after her, and she would become one of the most highly praised and admired members of the safe base. But Bai Feng actually ignored her! This was something that she never expected, and Bai Xue couldn’t help but panic when she thought about how her situation was getting worse than she had thought.
Chu Xia was also helpless. She had asked Bai Feng to save Bai Xue, but the man wasn’t moved.
And she knew that it was because Bai Feng thought that Bai Xue had once again played the same move that she had done the last time. Thus, even though she asked him to help Bai Xue, the man didn’t budge. Not even once.
"Xue’er, why didn’t you tell me before making a move like this!?" Chu Xia questioned with a hint of frustration and worry.
