Chapter 819: Too Optimistic
"I know, I am not stupid." Bai Wenxuan knew that his grandfather probably cared about his long-lost daughter. Naturally, if he found out that he made things difficult for Bai Meiyue, he would definitely chase him with a feather duster. Bai Wenxuan knew his grandfather’s temperament. If Old Master Bai did not care about this daughter of his whom he just found, he would have never called him. But it seemed like Old Master Bai definitely cared for Bai Meiyue and her mother.
He sighed, feeling a bit troubled. What was he going to do? His aunt was not a simple character; if she found out that she was not the biological daughter of the Bai family, she would naturally fight back and would not agree to leave the Bai family. Especially in these conditions. She and her daughter had not awakened any powerful abilities, and his uncle-in-law was a weak chicken as well.
But given Bai Meiyue’s personality, she would never let her mother go back with him and his grandfather unless they gave her mother her proper status back. She was the kind of person who would not even allow a grain of salt in her eyes. How could he even deal with this problem?
Fox snorted. If he had not seen his performance outside just now, he would have believed it, but he knew that Bai Wenxuan was not an easy person to deal with. So he simply ignored the man and went out. He needed to earn some crystal nuclei for the two of them. Bai Wenxuan could not fight with zombies with his condition. But if he stayed in the safe base without paying, then Bai Meiyue would definitely throw him out.
With that, he did not pay attention to Bai Wenxuan and left the mansion without saying anything anymore.
Bai Wenxuan watched him leave and did not know what to say at that moment. He sighed and then controlled his wheelchair before going out of the mansion and heading toward the place where his grandfather lived; anyway, his grandfather would definitely find out that he had arrived at the safe base sooner or later and if he did not go to see him, then Old Master Bai would definitely come to beat him.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the mansion, he saw his grandfather waiting for him. As soon as he saw him, Old Master Bai could not help but frown in anger. "Are you only coming now? I called you months ago, where were you?"
"Grandpa, do you think we are still living in times where I can catch a flight and come looking for you?" Bai Wenxuan felt helpless when he saw that his old man was getting angry at him. He sighed and said to him, "I had to use all kinds of tricks to come here. You have no idea that, using the current lawless society, the enemies of our family wanted to kill me. If I were not careful, then I would have died without even knowing what happened to me."
He slowly guided his wheelchair inside the mansion and asked, "But why are you in such a hurry to call me?"
Though he already knew, Bai Wenxuan wanted to hear what his grandpa wanted to say to him.
"Why else? Did I not tell you that I have found your aunt? She lives in this safe base and I—"
"Grandfather, I know that you are in a hurry to accept my aunt as your daughter but tell me the truth. How can you even think of taking her along with you without dealing with the current situation?"
"What do you mean?" Old Master Bai frowned upon hearing his grandson’s response.
Bai Wenxuan knew that his grandfather was a smart man but sometimes he liked to ignore a few things. He sighed and then said in a low voice, "Grandfather, let me ask you one thing. If you take aunt with you, what will you do with Aunt Yi? Do you think if you take aunt back with you, Aunt Yi will happily let her take over and then leave the Bai family? No, she will fight tooth and nail with you and grandmother."
"Grandmother’s condition is not good and she cannot be jostled anymore. If Aunt Yi was determined to cause trouble, then I am worried that my aunt will suffer." Bai Wenxuan was aware of his aunt’s temper. She was stubborn and arrogant. If not for the fact, she would not have divorced her first husband and then married a man from a low-family background to control him. She was the kind of woman who would never give up easily. Expecting her to accept her identity without a fight was impossible.
Even the thought alone was too hard to accept!
He sucked in a breath and then continued, "And even if my aunt agrees, Bai Meiyue will definitely not agree. I just met with her and her attitude and personality are quite strong. She will never let her mother suffer. Since we have not even dealt with Aunt Yi, do you think that she will allow you to accept her mother as your daughter? She won’t. We cannot have the best of both worlds, so we need to take a few steps."
Old Master Bai’s eyes widened when he realised the crux of the problem. He opened his mouth to say that he did not mean it like that but when he tried to speak, he could not say a word. Because what his grandson said was indeed right. He inhaled sharply. "I know. I was wrong."
He knew that he should deal with Bai Yi first but when he thought about how his daughter was living outside, he could not help but hope that his daughter would return with him. As for Bai Yi, he wanted to deal with her later on.
Bai Wenxuan knew what was going on in the mind of his grandfather and he could not help but sneer.
