Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

Chapter 801: Unwanted Hostage

Bai Meiyue raised her voice and slammed her fist on the table. She eyed the man in front of her with a hint of disgust. "Xiao Chenye, I was willing to talk to you because I thought you were sensible, but it seemed like I overestimated you. What do you mean by that? Just because I am related to Bai Wenxuan, I am supposed to swallow all of your lady’s tantrums?"

"First of all, even if I am related to Bai Wenxuan, neither of us has seen or met with one another. Secondly, even if we are related, my mom is yet to be accepted in the Bai family. Let me ask you, have the fake daughter and her children been dealt with? You are quick to ask for a favour from me by using the relationship, but tell me, has anything been done to give my mother an explanation?"

Though Bai Meiyue did not have any intention of getting involved with the Bai family, she also did not want the Bai family to take advantage of her. The Bai family had yet to give a proper explanation to her mother; there had been no solution provided. Yet Yang Wei already wanted to use the relationship that had not been cleared up? Who did she think she was?

Xiao Chenye’s face could not help but flush red.

He wanted to speak, but he could not bring himself to say anything. Because what Bai Meiyue said was indeed correct, the Bai family hadn’t even kicked the fake mistress out, and Yan Wanning was yet to regain her position. Since the two of them had not even returned to their real positions, how could they make use of the relationship between Bai Meiyue and Bai Wenxuan?

Seeing the silence of the man, Bai Meiyue sneered coldly. "It is quite easy to ask for favours when they benefit you, but you are forgetting that every favour has a repayment. Since you cannot repay me for using the relationship between Master Bai and me, why do you even bother?"

Xiao Chenye realised that there was no way he would be able to use Master Bai Wenxuan’s identity to leave the young master behind; he sucked in a breath and finally gave in. "Then what do you want in exchange, Miss Bai?"

"I don’t want anything." Bai Meiyue rolled her eyes when she heard the man’s question. "Do you think I am lacking in anything?"

Xiao Chenye: "..."

Strictly speaking, there was indeed nothing that could satisfy Bai Meiyue. At the moment, she had almost everything. He sucked in a breath and stated, "I will mention this matter in front of Master Bai. He will discuss the matter of returning this favour with you." He realised that he could not push Bai Meiyue as per his mistress’s orders, and the woman was way too sly. She did not eat hot or cold. No matter what kind of tactics he used, whether hard or soft ones, Bai Meiyue did not seem to be willing to give up.

Since that was the case, he could only leave the matter in the hands of Bai Wenxuan. Because at the moment, he was simply poor to the point of not having even a single crystal nucleus. He had used all the crystal nuclei in his hands to earn meals for Yang Wei. How could he even have any crystal nuclei to buy a place for the young master to stay?

However, when he saw that Bai Meiyue was not speaking, he hurriedly said to her, "Miss Bai, I know that you are not happy with the outcome, but this is a matter of an innocent life at risk. No matter what, my young master is still your nephew even if you don’t want to admit it. You cannot watch him die. Can you?"

Bai Meiyue looked at the man with a harsh and cold expression. "So, you are determined to leave the boy with me?"

It was not that he was determined to leave the young master with Bai Meiyue, but he had no other choice. As far as he knew, it had been a while since Master Bai sent a message that he was coming to get the young master, but it had been more than a couple of weeks, and yet the young master never appeared in the Bai safe base. Even though no one knew what was going on in the capital; they could not help but turn worried. What if something was going on? What if there was something that stopped Bai Wenxuan from coming to the Bai safe base? Yang Wei was also getting worried. Even though she had already given birth to the young master of the Bai family, without Bai Wenxuan’s authority, she would never be able to use the powers of the eldest mistress to their full potential. Thus, she had been making a fuss and asking Xiao Chenye to take her to the capital.

What if something happened to Bai Wenxuan? Then what would happen to her? All the schemes that she had made use of would be wasted for no reason!

So they had to go to the capital, but they could not take the young master with them. What if he ended up catching the doomsday virus? So, Yang Wei came up with the brilliant idea of leaving him behind and leaving the safe base on her own. She did not think that there was anything wrong with what she did; after all, Bai Meiyue was raising so many babies in her safe base. One more would not hurt her.

"Miss Bai, I know that you are unwilling, but please help our master one last time." Xiao Chenye pleaded as he bowed in front of Bai Meiyue.

Bai Meiyue looked at the bowing man and did not feel anything other than annoyance. However, she still waved her hand and agreed. Anyway, her military weapons were yet to be delivered. Since these people wanted to keep their precious young master here, then she would naturally agree with their suggestion. Who asked them to hand her a hostage without her asking for it?
