MTLNOVEL Chapter 610: Ungrateful (2)
"Naturally, naturally," the leader said with a flattering smile. "Don't worry; we will stick to the wing that you gave us without a hitch."
He made an okay sign while repeatedly bowing in front of Bai Meiyue. Seeing that Bai Meiyue had finally given them a way out, the man was so relieved that he almost knelt in front of her. He heaved a breath and then turned around to leave with Fu Wan and the rest of the team.
As for Bai Meiyue, she simply watched them leave one by one. She only looked away when the last baggage was cleared.
She then turned to look at Old Master Bai and questioned, "Is this woman really your granddaughter-in-law?"
Her question was as rude as it could have been, but Old Master Bai knew that she was angry. He spoke in a placating voice, "It's not that I wanted to make her my granddaughter-in-law. It's just that one thing happened after another, and she ended up becoming my granddaughter-in-law."
Which basically meant that this woman didn't enter the Bai family legitimately. No wonder she looked like an unreasonable person.
She turned to look at Xiao Wu and said to him, "Tell Fox to take that woman away. I cannot serve her anymore. Just because she paid for her stay, she thinks that she can treat us as she likes? I would rather kick her out and leave in peace rather than bother with her."
Bai Meiyue knew very well that the woman was nowhere near done. People like this could never sit still; since she dared to scheme against the eldest master of the Bai family, Bai Meiyue didn't even believe for a second that that woman could stay put in the safe base.
"Okay, I also think it's better to keep that woman away from our base. She is way too wilful and arrogant. I have seen many young women like these while working with the people from the rich class; they often cause grave trouble. I think it's better to send her away before she causes some kind of trouble for our safe base."
He wasn't polite when he said such words to Bai Meiyue; even if Old Master Bai was standing behind him, Xiao Wu didn't think that there was anything wrong with what he said. Fu Wan was indeed a bit problematic, no matter how he looked at it. It was better to send her away before she caused any kind of trouble.
Bai Meiyue also agreed with him. It wasn't that she was deliberately finding fault with Fu Wan; that girl just didn't look like the sensible kind, and Bai Meiyue was worried that she would end up making a mess, so it was better to send Fu Wan packing!
Old Master Bai felt a bit embarrassed, but then he sighed and shook his head. In the end, he was not the one who made the mess; it was his eldest grandson who asked him to be so careless and trust the wrong person!?
Bai Meiyue did not know what was going on in the mind of Old Master Bai; she was now discussing the matter of the mutated bugs with Xiao Wu.
"I did ask around; while some guards did say that they saw the mutated bugs, they all said that these bugs were all eaten by the bushes that are growing at the boundaries of the mansion. We can never be sure of this because a few people are still jumpy because of the time they spent in the safe base with the mutated bugs. My boys reported to me that there were a few guards who had nightmares last night."
"Well, there is always a chance that it might be just their nerves playing with them," said Bai Meiyue with a nod. "But we cannot be sure about that; it's better to be on guard against such things from the start. Better to be safe than sorry. Ask my brothers to arrange for the protective devices that I have brought with me."
She paused and added, "And ask the ability users to start patrolling around the area. If they see even the shadow of the mutated bugs approaching, whether from the ground or the sky, even if it's just one, they need to make sure that they tell us about it. That way, we will be prepared for another mutated bug wave."
Though they had the bushes to deal with the mutated bugs, Bai Meiyue knew that with the current situation at the safe base, they certainly couldn't deal with such a large number of bugs in a short while. So, it was better to be prepared before the mutated bug wave happened.
"I understand," said Xiao Wu. "I will ask Master Zhan and Master Jixuan to hurry on with the security measures."
While Bai Meiyue and Xiao Wu were planning to secure the safe base, Old Master Bai went to look for Fu Wan. As soon as he arrived at the north wing, he could hear her sobbing and throwing things around. When he heard the fuss she was making, Old Master Bai couldn't help but frown in annoyance. He really had to admit that he must have done some crazy, cruel things in his past life for this woman to become a part of his family, and his grandson's deeds must have been worse than his!
"I… I… I… I have never been so humiliated before!" Fu Wan cried, her eyes turning as red as a lobster. "How can you let that woman go just like that? Did you not hear what she said to me? Did you not see how she treated me? How can you just leave her alone like that? You should have taught her a lesson! A good lesson at that."
When Old Master Bai heard her words, he felt his brows twitch. Truly, after living a good life for a while, people really do forget how they were living before and would turn ungrateful.
