Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238: Chapter 236: The Big Boss Does a Parent-Child Activity for Little Treasure

"Hmm?" Bai Su hummed lazily.

Bai Xiaolang exchanged a look with his younger siblings. "Do you want to come hang out at our guild for a few days?"

Wen Dabao said, "Mom, I don’t think you need to worry so much. Look, if you were just an ordinary person, would you need to stress about all this? Of course not!"

Bai Xiao Zhu nodded from the side. "Mom, you’ve never even been to see our guild. Want to come for a tour?"

Bai Xiaoshe said excitedly, "Yeah, come on, come on!"

’Once Mom sees how well their guild is doing, maybe she’ll dump those four useless men and leave with us.’

’Dads are the most useless things ever!’

Bai Xiaolang cleared his throat discreetly. "Don’t trouble Mom like this. We have to be good and listen. Even though Mom rarely pays attention to us now and doesn’t seem to care much about what we’re doing, it’s only because she’s very busy. When she’s not, she’ll definitely want to hang out with us."

Bai Su helplessly pinched the bridge of her nose. "Alright, alright. I’ll go with you tomorrow to have a look."

’I happen to have one Clone left.’

’I’ll probably be at the Lanton Research Room for a long time tomorrow, so I won’t have time to go with them.’

’The last remaining Clone is perfect for checking out their Bounty Hunter Guild. That way, I’ll know what’s going on.’

「The next day.」

Bai Su sent out one Clone with Bai Xiaolang and the others to head for the Bounty Hunter Guild’s base.

She sent another Clone to the Female Protection Institution to gather Bai Ruxin, Bi Yue, and Yan Qingya for a meeting.

The remaining Clone was still in the deep mountains, dealing with Lu Tingyan.

Bai Su’s original body left with Yelias for the Lanton Family’s laboratory.

Her report had been rejected, so she needed to have a meeting with Grandpa Flar today.

’As for the matter with the Qin Family...’

Yelias had said that with Lu Tingyan’s current strength, he would be safe for the time being as long as he didn’t run into Qin Nuo.

So, Bai Su decided to put the Qin Family issue aside for now and focus on resolving the matters at hand.

「Inside the Lanton Family’s core laboratory.」

Flar and McKoff were processing data.

They had already analyzed some data from Bai Su’s Healing Ability and food, but more in-depth research required the cooperation of a female for experiments.

If the International Alliance didn’t approve it, their research couldn’t move forward.

Bai Su suddenly looked at the busy Li Yue beside her. "Li Yue, were you on leave for the past few days?"

Alarm bells went off in Li Yue’s head. "Ah... yes."

She feigned a cool nod to hide the panic in her heart.

Bai Su studied her suspiciously. "It’s rare to see you take time off. Where did you go?"

’I didn’t think much of it before, but hearing Li Yue’s voice today, I suddenly realized it sounds a lot like the voice of the second-in-command from the Medical Alliance that day.’

Li Yue said calmly, "I went back to my hometown to pick some things up."

"I also have to thank the research institute staff who went with me. I couldn’t have moved everything by myself otherwise."

Yelias explained, "She went back for her grandmother’s funeral."

Hearing this, Bai Su’s suspicions were finally dispelled.

’A funeral is such a major event; it’s unlikely she’d lie about it.’

Li Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and added, "Since you all have a meeting today and won’t need me, I’ll head back first."

Yelias gave a slight nod.

The research room meeting hadn’t started yet when Bai Su’s smart device suddenly rang.

It was a call from the kindergarten.

Bai Su’s eyes lit up. "That’s right! Li Yue, could you do me a favor?"

She quickly explained Wen Xiaobao’s situation to Li Yue.

Yelias: "You don’t have any work today anyway. Don’t worry, I’ll still pay you for your time."

Li Yue gave an awkward laugh. "I’m afraid that won’t work. I... I have a kidney problem and was just about to go to the hospital for a check-up."

Seeing everyone’s eyes on her, Li Yue quickly added, "But I can find someone for you! Miss Bai, just send me the kindergarten’s address."

She was in a hurry to leave and didn’t dare delay any longer.

’I thought I had the day off, so I just accepted an order from the "Take ’Em Out" app to make some extra cash. Any later and it’ll be overdue!’

Bai Su nodded at her gratefully.

Li Yue left the research institute in a mad rush, speeding down the road in her car while simultaneously messaging her subordinate: [Help me send a message to the boss. Ask her to find someone to go to the kindergarten and accompany a child for a parent-child activity.]

[Yes, Boss.]

The subordinate relayed the message to Leia’s subordinate: [The Second-in-Command says to ask the Big Boss to help out by going to the kindergarten to look after a child for a parent-child activity.]

The subordinate’s eyes went wide. He timidly entered the inner break room and said, "Boss, the Second-in-Command is asking you to help out by attending a parent-child activity for her kid."

Leia, whose foot was in a cast, snapped, "Are you fucking blind? That idiot Li Chenlin blew my damn foot off. How am I supposed to go out?"

She clicked her tongue in annoyance and sent a message to the big boss, Xiao Yi: [Xiao Yi, stop sleeping. Get up and do me a favor.]

Xiao Yi: [?]

Leia: [My girl’s kid is at kindergarten and needs someone for a parent-child activity. Go help out.]

Xiao Yi was a bit exasperated: [This is my problem now?]

Leia snapped a photo of her leg in its cast and sent it over: [You want me to go instead?]

Xiao Yi could easily imagine her with her leg propped up, her expression arrogant and demanding, as if it were his duty. A doting look flashed in his eyes: [Stay paralyzed. Send me the address.]
