MTLNOVEL Chapter 589: His Stubborn Girl
"Alright," Lei Qian nodded and arranged for the men who were not the least bothered by the aphrodisiac that was flowing out of the energy ball. Fortunately, among them was Bai Zhan, who was completely unbothered by the sweet scent, even when he was no longer married and his wife was gone.
This confused not only Lei Qian but also Bai Meiyue. Her brother might be the father of two boys, but he was nowhere near as old as Feng Qing had schemed against him when he was just eighteen, and she gave birth to the two boys one after another, with no less than a two-year gap. In short, her brother was way too young to have already given up on his desires, unless—
Bai Meiyue turned her head to one side and frowned. Unless her brother was too traumatised to fall for another woman. The more Bai Meiyue thought like this, the more she believed that she was right, and her anger toward her ex-sister-in-law surged once again. Look at what that woman made of her brother!
Bai Zhan had no idea that his sister had thought so many things just because of such a small thing; if he knew, then he would have stopped to tell her that he wasn't broken and that someone else was in his heart. But as Bai Zhan couldn't read minds, the misunderstanding was bound to grow.
With Bai Zhan taking care of the Meng siblings, the security was doubled. The doors, along with the lock, were changed into a material that couldn't be broken by anyone except Bai Zhan. Of course, this had to be done; after all, they couldn't keep guard on the Meng siblings all the time.
With these doors, they at least didn't have to worry about the Meng siblings getting attacked when they were not paying attention.
Once they dealt with the safety precautions for the Meng siblings, they started to deal with the rest of the matters that they needed to settle before settling down. Even though these matters were trivial, they still took the entire afternoon. Soon, Mo He and Tong Huan returned together to the mansion. And when Mo He returned, he told everyone the situation that was happening in the safe base.
Mo He remarked, "Well, the fats are really out in the fire."
He sat down on the couch and looked at Lei Qian with a tired look on his face. "There is no point in going back to kill Yu Miaomiao. The entire safe base is filled with the mutated bugs. It seems like Yu Miaomiao really messed herself over by ignoring the reproductive abilities of the mutated creatures. The entire safe base is now immersed in the cloud of those flesh-eating mutated bugs."
Mo He took a glass of water from Mother Bai and thanked her before taking a sip of the cold water. He then continued to speak, "Before we returned, we heard Yu Miaomiao yelling at the soldiers to bring you all back and that it was everyone's responsibility to control these mutated bugs."
Bai Meiyue snorted when she heard Mo He's remark. Even though she was not there, Bai Meiyue was well aware of how shameless Yu Miaomiao could act when she wanted to. Thus, she didn't doubt the words that Mo He spoke.
Indeed, Yu Miaomiao was right in some places. In the face of such a catastrophe, it was only right that they abandoned their differences and worked together to safeguard human life, and Bai Meiyue indeed had no qualms in helping the safe base and the higher officials. After all, she was not someone who could watch people die in front of her for no reason.
She thought that it was not a big deal. After all, dealing with the mutated bugs was also her responsibility.
But very soon her mind changed, after she realised that Yu Miaomiao was actually using the mutated bugs to suppress her. She was thinking about humanity, benevolence and righteousness when she was trying to help the base. She never meant to ask for anything in return after saving the lives of the people at the base, but she never expected that Yu Miaomiao was actually thinking of using the tide of the mutated bugs to corner her.
Now that she knew what kind of sinister intentions that woman had, Bai Meiyue was not a fool, nor was she a Holy Mother. Why would she rush out to save the enemy using her own resources, energy and people? Anyway, even though there were many innocent lives being lost at the moment at the safe base, it was not Bai Meiyue's responsibility. After all, she was just as innocent as they were, and yet Yu Miaomiao didn't think twice before scheming against her.
More importantly, the safe base belonged to Yu Miaomiao. Since the safe base belonged to Yu Miaomiao, she should be the one taking care of the mess that was going on in the safe base. Whether those survivors who died were innocent or not, it had nothing to do with Bai Meiyue; they were the responsibility of Yu Miaomiao. It wasn't Bai Meiyue's turn to worry about their life and death.
Bai Meiyue stood up from the couch and left Lei Qian to discuss the assassination plan of Yu Miaomiao. However, as she climbed up the stairs and looked at the explosions happening a bit further from the mansion where they were living, Bai Meiyue couldn't help but wonder if they could even kill Yu Miaomiao before the woman caused any more trouble for them.
She sighed and then returned to the room where she was staying, and it didn't take long for Lei Qian to arrive in her room. She had just finished washing up and dressing up in a maternity nightdress when Lei Qian pushed open the door and walked inside the room. He smiled at her, but his smile was slightly strained.
"What's the matter?"
