96: Shameless!
“Who is your brother?” Bai Zhan retorted mercilessly. “My mother only gave birth to one sister. The days of taking concubines are long gone, so stop being so presumptuous.”
Bai Xue trembled with rage, finally realizing that she had truly hit a brick wall today. Bai Zhan was someone who showed no mercy.
Her grievances and tears meant nothing to him.
She gritted her teeth, turned to look at Bai Wanning, who was still eating noodles, and a smile reappeared on her face.
“Sister Wanning, shall we go inside and talk? You must have misunderstood us. We never meant to harm you. What happened back then…”
“No need to say anything,” Bai Wanning didn’t listen to Bai Xue’s condescending tone at all. She knew very well how skilled Bai Xue was at twisting facts.
She stepped forward, stopping in front of Bai Xue, wanting to see if the poison she administered yesterday had taken effect.
A moment later, Bai Wanning discovered that Bai Xue’s nascent Dantian had already shattered, and the faint energy swirling around it was completely destroyed, its fluctuations too weak to even be considered spiritual energy.
Although Bai Wanning’s cultivation was far from reaching the point where she could perceive a person’s inner state without an ability detector, perhaps due to her second awakening, her senses were much sharper than ordinary people’s.
She easily detected the abnormality in Bai Xue’s Dantian.
A deep sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart. Watching Bai Xue’s hope of awakening completely shattered, Bai Wanning felt nothing but immense relief.
She glanced at Bai Xue and Su Hu, and said coldly, “Bai Xue, are you truly foolish, or just pretending? Just walking around in front of me like this, do you think I won’t kill you?”
“Sister Wanning, please don’t be like this. We know we were wrong, but—”
“Get out!”
Although Bai Wanning wished she could kill Bai Xue right now, it wasn’t the right time. She still needed to use Bai Xue to lure out the snake that had harmed her son and had now retreated into its hole.
It was Bai Xue and Su Hu who had contacted that person through Chen Xiaoya before, and she was certain that after she gave birth, these two beasts would try the same trick again.
After all, a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit.
Of course, Bai Wanning was also in no hurry to deal with Bai Xue and Su Hu too soon.
If they died too quickly, how would they “enjoy” the grand gift she had meticulously prepared for them? She wanted them to suffer the same punishment she had endured back then.
Just as they had tormented her when she was pregnant and unable to work like others.
At least, she still had her abilities back then.
And them? They had nothing now.
She could certainly kill these two bastards, but the key was Bai Minghe, that man was about to wake up.
If she killed Bai Xue now, Bai Wanning worried he would immediately become her enemy.
That man had long been brainwashed to the point of not caring about his own life, willing to do anything for the Bai family.
She didn’t know how Chu Xia would manipulate Bai Minghe if she acted now.
For now, she could only wait.
With Bai Xue’s restless nature, Bai Wanning firmly believed that she would one day cause enough trouble to force Bai Minghe to abandon her with his own hands.
But before that, she could only watch this woman prance around in front of her.
Of course, Bai Wanning also had some selfish reasons.
She worried that if she killed Bai Xue now, she would have to fight Bai Minghe to the death. In that case, both would be injured.
How could she be willing to do that now that she was carrying Bai Cai?
She owed Bai Minghe too much, and she couldn’t bring herself to kill him when he was at his weakest.
But this didn’t mean Bai Xue would live. This woman had to die, and she had to die slowly and painfully, just like her little Cai.
Only a mother who had brought a child into this world with blood and tears, and painstakingly raised him for a hundred days, could understand her anger and resentment.
Regardless of whether Bai Minghe approved or not, Bai Xue was a huge threat to her son.
Bai Wanning still didn’t understand why Bai Qingshi and Bai Xue hated her so much. They seemed to treat everything she had as something to be used or destroyed.
As if she were a piece of wealth in their hands, to be carved up at will.
If she hadn’t been certain that Bai Qingshi was truly her father, based solely on that man’s hatred for her, she would have almost doubted if there was any blood relation between them.
She just needed to hold on for a little longer, until Bai Xue contacted that man again. That day would be her death anniversary.
“Sister…”
“Are you leaving or not?” Bai Wanning sneered, reaching out and grabbing Bai Xue’s collar. “I’m giving you this respect for the sake of Brother Minghe, Bai Xue. I’m telling you, if he dies, that day will be the death anniversary of your entire family.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she violently shoved Bai Xue away, who stumbled and fell to the ground.
“Wanning! You…” Su Hu saw Bai Xue fall and glared at Bai Wanning with wide eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Wanning swept a cold gaze over him.
The icy killing intent in that look made Su Hu immediately lower his head in shock.
Bai Wanning looked at him like that, snorted coldly, and turned to slam the door shut.
Yes, she had said that on purpose just now.
She knew that after she made such a harsh threat, Bai Xue would cling tightly to Bai Minghe as her lifeline, not only trying to please him in every way but also striving to keep him alive.
This way, it could be considered a repayment for Bai Minghe’s kindness in helping her in her previous life.
Su Hu and Bai Xue, locked outside, stared at the closed door with gloomy faces.
Bai Xue had never been treated this way. She was naturally petite and delicate, and her face was much cuter than Bai Wanning’s cold features.
So, in the past, many men always preferred her over Bai Wanning.
For a moment, she simply couldn’t believe that she had actually been driven out by Bai Jixuan and Bai Zhan.
As her emotions gradually calmed, she finally realized her predicament, and her face instantly turned darker than the bottom of a pot. She immediately scrambled to her feet and rushed back home.
After such humiliation, she didn’t want to stay there for another moment.
Su Hu, who remained, stared at the door for a long time, seemingly still waiting for Bai Wanning to open it, wanting to see if she would still let him in. But Bai Wanning never opened the door, so he had no choice but to turn and leave.
But when he returned to the Bai family, a trace of unease welled up in his heart.
He didn’t dislike Bai Wanning; in fact, he liked her very much.
Bai Wanning was much prettier than Bai Xue, but she was too cold, too tough, and didn’t know how to rely on men. Bai Xue, on the other hand, knew how to act spoiled and was more charming.
When he sent Bai Wanning to another man’s bed, Su Hu hadn’t intended to truly let go.
He thought he wanted to climb higher, so even if Bai Wanning’s body was no longer perfect, he was willing to accept her.
After all, it was his fault, and he was willing to give her anything except a formal title.
But who would have thought that when they met again, Bai Wanning had become completely different? She not only hated the Bai family, but she also hated him.
Su Hu felt a slight pang in his heart. He knew he had wronged Bai Wanning, but compared to the Bai family’s heartlessness, he still felt some guilt.
At least, he had never thought of abandoning her completely.
What’s more, the current Bai Wanning made him even more attracted to her. Her strong, sharp personality made his blood boil.
