NOVEL NEXT Chapter 616: Born as A Simpleton (2)
Xiao Chenye choked. He wanted to say that he came to see Old Master Bai, but he, too, knew that it was a lie. He glanced at Bai Meiyue, who was eating a roasted lamb leg, with her second brother dotingly tearing off the meat and placing it on her plate. He gulped, trying to ignore the nagging stabs of hunger in his stomach and turned to look at Old Master Bai.
Xiao Chenye was really embarrassed to say the words that he wanted to say, but he had no choice. He could only bite the bullet and say to Old Master Bai, "Old Master, if you don't mind. Can you share some of your meat with Miss Fu? I promise that once Master Wenxuan arrives, I will return the crystal nuclei to you."
Bai Meiyue raised her head upon hearing those words and glanced at the man in front of her; however, she simply looked at him before turning to look away.
Tong Huan, who was sitting next to her, said in a gossipy manner, "Do you know that woman, Fu Wan? She took their crystal nuclei away. I heard from the guards that she made a fuss the day you refused to let someone fix her water heater and snatched the crystal nuclei away from these men, saying that they were not allowed to give you even one of them."
Bai Meiyue arched a brow. She didn't care about the aftermath of that incident. After all, she truly could no longer be bothered by Fu Wan. After the mess that woman made, she was so angry that she wished she could skin that woman in half and then twist her around into a meat patty.
Three times she broke the water heater, and seven times she overworked the air conditioner, causing it to be repaired. Wanted to eat this and that, but wouldn't pay on time. When Xiao Wu went to ask for money, she would make excuses, and even though these bodyguards would later pay for the supplies, it was still annoying.
No wonder this man came here to look for Old Master Bai. Bai Meiyue knew Fu Wan's temper quite well; that woman would certainly not be willing to bow her waist and buy meat from her since she had played a heavy hand like that. But she wanted to eat meat, so what else could these bodyguards do other than to beg Old Master Bai?
Bai Meiyue smirked. She had to admit that Fu Wan was really scummy. She knew that the bodyguards would come looking for her; after all, she was the only one who had a fresh supply of meat at the moment, and with the situation at the safe base, Fox would have a hard time sending them a supply of meat.
Since that was the case, she came up with this petty trick.
What a jerk.
Bai Meiyue clicked her tongue but didn't say anything. After all, even though she disliked Fu Wan, the child in her belly was innocent and from what she heard from Old Master Bai, Bai Wenxuan was involved in an accident, and this child was probably his one and only child.
It was quite fortunate that this child was able to survive all the fuss that Fu Wan created on a daily basis, and Bai Meiyue had no intention of killing a child and putting the blame on top of her head. After all, if something happened to the child, then she and Bai Wenxuan would never be able to see eye to eye. If anything, this would become a feud that might turn bloody.
What was more, if something happened to that child, Bai Meiyue knew that Bai Wenxuan would try to take it out on her son. So she might as well share some meat with Fu Wan to avoid future trouble.
Seeing that Bai Meiyue was not saying anything, Xiao Chenye heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried that she would chase him out like the last time when Fu Wan made a fuss over the water heater. Fortunately, she didn't do it.
When Old Master Bai heard his words, he frowned. He didn't like Fu Wan, but he couldn't necessarily starve his old bloodline. He sighed and said, "Fine, take it."
He then turned to look at Bai Meiyue before saying to her, "Little Yueyue, I will use my share of crystal nuclei to buy her meat for the time being."
Bai Meiyue nodded. She called for Xiao Wu and asked Xiao Chenye, "How many kilograms of meat do you want? One kilogram is sold for ten crystal nuclei. I am being generous by giving you such a low price."
Indeed, Xiao Chenye knew that Bai Meiyue was also looking out for the eldest lady and agreed. "Twenty will be fine."
Bai Meiyue hummed before asking Xiao Wu to cut off two hundred crystal nuclei from Old Master Bai's payment and then handed the man all the frozen meat that he wanted to purchase. At the same time, Shen Zhen, who was silently sucking on the lamb chops, said to Xiao Chenye, "Your miss is about to give birth in the next four days. Tell her that she needs to move to the maternity ward, and no, I cannot leave my patient and move the entire surgical instruments to your mansion just for her."
"You tell her that she needs to stop being stubborn. This is not the time for her to be stubborn if she refuses to let the child be born because of her arrogance; there is a chance that the child might be born as a simpleton because of the lack of oxygen due to the delay in birth."
"What!? That can happen?" Xiao Chenye was shocked, and Old Master Bai was also shocked. They didn't know that the consequences were so severe.
"I have already told this to your miss, but she is not willing to listen to me. You'd better take this warning seriously, or else she is going to lose both the child and her ability to become a mother unless she gives birth safely."
