Xu Jinye looked at Bai Meiyue and said to her, "It seems like you did the right thing by not sending your mother to the Bai family with Old Master Bai. That man might be skilled when it came to doing business, but he is certainly not skilled when it came to dealing with his wife and family. He has no idea what kind of good things his wife has done and keeps believing that his wife is a good woman."
Hearing this, Bai Meiyue was not surprised. It was not surprising that Old Master Bai was unaware of the deeds of his wife. As someone who spent all of his life building the Bai family from scratch, it was not surprising that he couldn’t pay attention to what his wife was doing behind his back. Anyway, she had already known Old Master Bai enough to know that in his eyes, Old Madam Bai was a delicate and simple woman who did not know any better.
"You don’t seem surprised," questioned Xu Jinye as if accusing Bai Meiyue of not showing enough enthusiasm or surprise for the information that she had brought for her.
Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes. "I knew it somewhere in my heart. As you said, even someone as indifferent as Old Master Bai was able to notice the similarities between my mother and his, so how could it be possible for Old Madam Bai not to notice it? Women are sharper when it comes to such things. I can forgive Old Master Bai for not noticing, but how can I forgive Old Madam Bai? The fake daughter grew up next to her; however, she never sensed something amiss? How could it be possible?"
Bai Meiyue’s eyes flashed with mockery when she thought about how Old Master Bai insisted that his wife had no idea as well. He was the one who told her that their daughter grew up by his wife’s side, and yet she never noticed anything amiss? Bai Meiyue would rather believe that Bai Qingshi was a loving father to her than believe that Old Madam Bai had never sensed or suspected the fake daughter.
"Then what are your plans?"
"What can I plan? My mother has no intention of going back to the Bai family and..." Bai Meiyue curled her lips. "It’s the Bai family’s turn to beg in front of me." The Bai family might have been high and mighty in her past life, but currently they were just a struggling family trying to establish themselves in the safe base. Even Bai Wenxuan was thinking of cooperating with her. Her mother was living a good life, and she might even be better than the fake daughter.
Xu Jinye nodded upon hearing her comment. "You are right about this...you might not know this, but that fake didn’t awaken any skills. She is just a common survivor. I believe that Old Madam Bai will be really upset after finding out that the daughter she discarded is such a powerful ability user while the one she took in can’t even fight for herself."
Xu Jinye was sharper than others. She noticed that Yan Wanning had awakened her supernatural powers, and she was even stronger than most of the ability users in the safe base.
Even though Yan Wanning did not have a defensive ability at the moment, her skills alone could cause many people to feel jealous.
Bai Meiyue did not comment and picked up a few melon seeds to chew.
Bai Meiyue shook her head.
"You should stop worrying about me and start thinking about what to do. Bai Wenxuan will definitely not stop seeking you out. What are you going to do when Yang Wei comes back?"
Yang Wei was not only unreasonable but also haughty and possessive. Bai Wenxuan might not care about her, but Yang Wei certainly cared a lot about Bai Wenxuan. She did not like Xu Jinye to begin with, and if she found out that Bai Wenxuan was having private meetings with Xu Jinye, she would definitely create a fuss.
"Who cares about her? Do you think that I am scared of her?" Xu Jinye stood up as she flipped her hair behind her. "That woman has been causing quite a fuss these past few days, hasn’t she? It’s better for her to learn a few things. Don’t worry, I still have some understanding of the situation, and I will never cross the line, at least not until that woman does it." Xu Jinye winked at Bai Meiyue before adding, "But if something happens, then I can only apologise for dragging you in the mess."
Yang Wei was such a spoiled princess, if she was wronged wouldn’t she cause a fuss for Bai Meiyue and the rest of the safe base?
