Chapter 547: Chapter 542: One Second Away from Madness
Fu Yuanxuan’s fists clenched even harder.
He said coldly, "Our Fu Family isn’t so stingy as to bankrupt the woman’s family just because of a broken engagement. You don’t need to provoke me with these words. If breaking off the engagement is truly Tangtang’s wish, I can fulfill it, but I also hope you won’t interfere in her love life anymore in the future."
Bai Yusen paused slightly, without turning back, "Naturally. Tangtang’s future marriage will be for her to decide."
"Good, I hope you remember that! Take care on your way!"
Leaving the dormitory, Bai Yusen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He almost thought he would have to fight Fu Yuanxuan to call off the engagement, but he turned out to be a gentleman after all.
From now on, Tangtang can finally be herself without any worries.
...
"Broke off the engagement with the Fu Family?" Ji Ning turned her head to look at the two people who had just walked in.
Bai Xiaotang was still worried about her brother, she ran inside and grabbed Ji Ning’s arm, pleadingly, "I know this isn’t good, I will apologize to Grandpa Fu. Sister Ning, can you accompany me?"
Ji Ning glanced at her hand, raised her eyebrows, "What? Afraid the Fu Family will hit you?"
"No, Grandpa Fu wouldn’t hit me. I’m just afraid he’ll be sad, but Grandpa Fu really likes you, if you go, he might not be sad anymore."
Ji Ning raised her hand and flicked her forehead lightly, "You’ve grown a brain."
Bai Xiaotang chuckled sheepishly.
Ji Ning gave her a sideways glance and looked towards Huang Ying.
"In a moment, take Lin Yuanyang and the Gu brothers to the experimental area."
On her first day here, Bai Xiaotang experienced the power of the beginner nutrition pod, her eyes sparkling, "Can I go too?"
"You can, but the effect isn’t significant the second time."
Due to the limited amount of Green Star Stone, Ji Ning could only command that Green Star Stone Energy be added for those using the beginner nutrition pod for the first time.
After Bai Xiaotang’s initial use, her physique and spiritual power directly broke through to S-level, with an evolution degree reaching 23%.
Although not as good as You Le, her talent was still amongst the best.
Bai Xiaotang felt a bit regretful but quickly smiled, "Uncle Ye’s nutrition pod is really amazing. But why did he become an S-level fugitive on the Hua Continent?"
"Because his research was tainted with the blood of innocent people."
Bai Xiaotang was slightly stunned, then heard her Sister Ning seem to sigh and say, "If judged by intelligence, the world can be divided into geniuses, ordinary people, and fools. These three types aren’t progressive but merged like the three primary colors, with intersections giving rise to three kinds of people.
A genius among ordinary people is a smart person, a fool among ordinary people is a stupid person, and a fool among geniuses is a madman. Ye Xingyan is between genius and fool. If you don’t keep him in check, he becomes a madman the next moment."
Bai Xiaotang shivered, continuing to ask, "Then what about people who merge all three?"
Ji Ning patted her shoulder, "The fortunate ones."
Bai Xiaotang frowned slightly, "Why are they fortunate?"
But Ji Ning had already walked away without answering her question.
...
Lin Yuanyang and the Gu brothers, having passed security, were suddenly stopped by two base soldiers.
Seeing this, Lin Chengsheng quickly walked over to ask, "Where are you taking my son?"
After verifying the identity on the tablet in hand, one base soldier said, "Miss Bai Xiaotang has invited Mr. Lin Yuanyang, Mr. Gu Shuangcheng, and Mr. Gu Sili to the Mutant Beast Garden."
Upon hearing it was the Bai Family’s young lady, Lin Chengsheng visibly relaxed, stopped obstructing them, and even took Lin Yuanyang’s suitcase in his hand.
Standing not far away, Chang Ru instantly tightened her grip on her suitcase handle; only people from the Fu Family could command the base soldiers like this.
Though she had long realized her identity difference with Bai Xiaotang, she still felt unwilling.
Why is heaven so unfair?
Giving all good things to Bai Xiaotang, while ignoring someone like her who works hard.
For the Bai Family to attend the business summit, it must be a handiwork of the Fu Family.
Otherwise, based on the Bai Family’s disclosed financial statements in recent years, how could they rank in the top 20?
"Miss Chang, sometimes you have to resign to fate." A familiar female voice suddenly appeared in Chang Ru’s ear.
Chang Ru immediately restrained her expression and turned to look, replying coldly, "But President Sun doesn’t seem like someone who resigns to fate."
Sun Yazhu smiled without saying anything further, planning to pass by her, but Chang Ru didn’t want to let her and that lucky Miss Bai go.
"President Sun, the Beizhou business summit invites families with top finances from every continent, and the Bai Family could arrive early, truly fortunate, don’t you think?"
Chang Ru’s voice wasn’t loud, but enough to let everyone in the security check hear, immediately causing some family members to change their expressions.
"Really, that Bai Family young lady has even ridden a wolf, surely she’s arrived early."
"I was wondering why I didn’t see Bai Family people on the ship, turns out they were already here."
"Isn’t there a restriction on Beizhou entry times? How did the Bai Family get early access?"
"Did you forget who the Bai Family’s young lady is marrying into?"
This remark seemed to awaken the people on site, who subtly began to scrutinize the heavily armed base soldiers around them.
Caution towards the Bai Family, and families closely related to those three families emerged.
After sensing the change in people’s gazes around her, Sun Yazhu’s look at Chang Ru gradually turned cold.
"Miss Chang, isn’t your family not a Bai Family relative? Why weren’t you brought early to Beizhou?"
Chang Ru was already guarding against her, smiling lightly, "My cousin has always been impartial, naturally won’t favor the Chang Family in such matters. Our Chang Family paid money for this slot."
Only then did the crowd remember, the Bai Family didn’t sell any of their five slots, even families with over a decade of collaboration with the Bai Family didn’t get a slot, suddenly looking at Chang Ru with a touch of sympathy.
The Bai Family really is selfish, and unkind, just like the former Sun Family.
Sun Yazhu looked at Chang Ru for a while, then coldly said, "I hope Miss Chang can be as fortunate as the Bai Family’s young lady."
The incident in the security check area quickly reached Fu Yuanxuan.
His face turned even darker, and after a moment of silence, he instructed Mantis, "Send people to secretly protect the Bai siblings."
Mantis teased, "Captain, you can personally protect Miss Bai."
Fu Yuanxuan directly hung up the communicator, his eyes somberly staring at the very obtrusive red wedding book on the table.
He suddenly stood up, re-equipped all his weapons, and strode towards the experimental area.
On another side, Lounging to the bunker with base soldiers, Gu Sili nervously asked Lin Yuanyang.
"How did Bai Xiaotang arrive early?"
"How would I know?"
"Was it arranged by the Fu Family? Many soldiers in the security area are Huazhou people."
Lin Yuanyang gave him a sideways look, "Why didn’t your family arrive early?"
Gu Sili puzzled, "Our family isn’t allied with those three families."
Lin Yuanyang surprised, "You don’t know?"
He looked to Gu Shuangcheng, seeing him helplessly adjust his glasses, "Xiao Shi is young, family didn’t tell him."
"What hasn’t been told to me?" Gu Sili suspiciously looked at his second brother, then at Lin Yuanyang, "And why do you know what I don’t about family matters?"
Lin Yuanyang smiled slightly, "Because you’re dense."
"Lin Yaoguan..."
Before Gu Sili could finish, a familiar female voice rang from not far away.
"Gu Xiaosi, are you trying to bully someone again?"
The three looked towards the voice, seeing Bai Xiaotang standing at the bottom of the stairs with her hands on her hips.
And the woman beside her was actually Ji Ning, who they hadn’t seen for a long time.
