Chapter 603: Grandfather in law
"This place is so dirty. Just look at this; these people are collecting animal poop! I cannot even think about staying here for a day," the woman roared at the top of her lungs.
Bai Meiyue's eyes twitched a little. She didn't show it on her face, but the loud voice of this princess was grating on her nerves. In a rather bad way. This woman had far too many similarities that she shared with Bai Xue, and it made Bai Meiyue even more upset.
Though this woman looked just as gentle and cute as her, Bai Meiyue knew that this was where their similarities ended. Just from what the woman said about the manure that they were making, Bai Meiyue knew that they were not going to get along.
"If you—" She was about to tell the pregnant woman to go back to where she came from. If this woman didn't want to stay in her mansion, then she, too, was not inclined to keep this woman here. There were too many people waiting for Bai Meiyue to open the door of her mansion and let them stay. Who did this woman think she was for her to show such contempt?
But before she could finish what she wanted to say, Fox spoke up beside her. "Oh, my dear ancestor, you know that the safe base is no longer safe. Even though this place is not as clean as the penthouse where you lived, at least it doesn't have any flesh-eating bugs. And the security is top-notch, as you can also see. There is also a famous doctor. Didn't you tell me that you wanted Doctor Shen to take care of your pregnancy? Doctor Shen works for Miss Bai. If you stay here, then you will be able to stay under the care of your favourite and revered Doctor Shen."
"With her around, you will be able to give birth to your son without a worry. And weren't you the one who told me that you would give up anything in this world to get away from the flesh-eating bugs? Why are you upset now? Just try to make do with it."
Bai Meiyue frowned when she heard the words of the man. She turned and glared at Fox before hissing at him, "And what do you mean by making do with it? Do you think that my mansion is lacking anything? If you don't like it. Then you can get the hell out of here. I am not begging for her to stay here."
The woman was startled and scared by Fox's words. She hated the mutated bugs, and the sight alone of those disgusting bugs was enough to make her entire body tremble with disgust. When she recalled the decay and the puddles of blood all over the safe base, the woman couldn't help but gag.
It could be seen that the psychological shadow left behind by the mutated bugs was quite strong on the woman because she seemed close to fainting at the very memory of them. If not, she wouldn't have agreed with Fox when he asked her to come with him to another safe place.
But what shook the woman's resolve to walk away was Fox telling her that Doctor Shen was living here in this rundown place. It had to be said that this woman had been making a clamour ever since she got pregnant. She asked her husband to bring Doctor Shen to their mansion, but Doctor Shen never agreed. That woman strictly told them she was a doctor at heart through and through, and her greatest ambition was to serve the people. She had no desire to become a private doctor.
Even when the woman offered millions of yuan to Doctor Shen, she never budged. But the woman was determined, as she knew that Doctor Shen was the best gynaecologist out there in the city. Even now, she had been making a fuss over that, but the guards could not leave her alone and look for Doctor Shen.
After all, the woman knew that the baby in her belly was her protection talisman.
Because of this, the entire matter had come to a stalemate.
Now that she had found Doctor Shen, the woman was tempted to stay in this mansion, but as soon as she heard Bai Meiyue's words, she bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She flared her nostrils and glared at Bai Meiyue before saying to her, "Do you even know who my husband is?"
"Why are you asking me? Don't you know who your husband is?" Bai Meiyue was a picture of indifference as she glanced at the woman coolly. She didn't care who the husband of this woman was, or what her background was, or what kind of power her husband held. "If you want to stay, then stay. If you don't want to, then you can turn around and leave. The world is ending, Miss. Do you think that I will fear your husband? If you do, then you can ask Fox here whether your husband should fear me or I should fear him."
With that, she turned on her feet and headed inside the mansion. She ignored the way the woman was fuming behind her and stifled a yawn. She turned to look at the maid beside her and left a few words for her. She told the maid to take this little princess to the northern wing of the mansion if she agreed to stay here. If not, then just shut the door.
The woman was even more furious when she heard Bai Meiyue's words. She turned and glared at Fox before saying to him, "What's with her attitude? Shouldn't she be welcoming me with open arms? She is acting as if she is doing a favour for me!"
That's because she is indeed doing you a favour, thought Fox. However, he knew that if he said those words, this princess would make a fuss again. So he could only smile and bow before saying, "How can that be? Miss Bai is like this to everyone. Compared to others, at least she didn't greet you with a dagger or machete. She is treating you quite well."
