NOVPUBIf Chu Xia was the one who wanted to join the base, Bai Meiyue was certain that there was little to no chance for Bai Feng to refuse.
"What if I am? What if I am not? What does that have to do with you?" She asked with a raise of her brow. "I don't think that it has anything to do with you or your family."
Once she was done speaking, Bai Meiyue turned around on her feet and was about to walk away when Chu Xia ran past her and came to a stop in front of her. She said to her eagerly, "I think you shouldn't join the base. I mean it's only going to delay your growth; you are doing so well. With everything that is going your way, I don't think you need to join the base, do you?"
Bai Meiyue didn't bother to talk to Chu Xia. She knew that the reason Chu Xia was stopping her was not because she was scared of her joining the base, but because it was Bai Xue who didn't wish for Bai Meiyue to join the base. Of course, as far as Bai Meiyue was not going to join but she was not going to make it easy for Bai Xue and Chu Xia either.
If they thought that they could convince her, then they were solely wrong.
"Yueyue, wait a minute."
However, just as Bai Meiyue stepped out of the building, she heard another voice that she didn't want to hear. Her eyes almost rolled back in her sockets when she saw Su Hu running towards her. It seemed like he had been waiting for her in the garage. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Bai Meiyue was, of course, not going to stop for this man either, but Su Hu didn't seem to understand it.
He chased after her and said, "Wait a minute; I wanted to talk about the base."
Hearing Su Hu mention the base, she thought that he was going to spout the same nonsense as Chu Xia, but who would have thought that the man would say something that she never expected? He actually asked her to join the base!
"What did you say?" Bai Meiyue turned and looked at Su Hu with a hint of surprise on her face, as she had never thought Su Hu would be the one asking her to join the base.
"I asked if you want to join the base? I know you don't want to see me, but I think we need to keep our differences aside and put what is important first. Commander Yu said that he will be building a base here. This is a piece of really great news, don't you think so? Our building comes under the region where the base is being built. Commander Yu wants to join the base as well. I think, as a woman, you should join the base as well; this way, you will be able to protect your family and yourself. As long as you join the army, you won't have to worry about anything. Commander Yu promised that she would take care of everything."
Commander Yu? Yu Miaomiao?
Bai Meiyue curled her lips when she heard the words of the man in front of her. Either he was a fool, or he was trying to make a fool out of her. How could he even say that Yu Miaomiao would take care of her in the base?
That woman was fueled by ambition and lust.
She only cared about two things, which were her desire to get stronger and powerful and getting as many strong and good-looking men as possible in the base. There was no way she would be willing to care about a pregnant woman.
If Yu Miaomiao found her joining the base with a big belly, then that woman would make things difficult for Bai Meiyue to the point where she would have a hard time living her life quietly. Yu Miaomiao wanted only useful people whom she could grind until they were almost driven crazy by her. How could a woman like her be sympathetic towards her?
And what was even more of a joke was her taking care of her.
Yu Miaomiao taking care of her was like asking a snake to take care of a chicken egg. That woman would be the first to use her chaotic and cruel mind to use the child in Bai Meiyue's womb to her advantage, as she was also a researcher.
Bai Meiyue was not crazy or hopeless enough to do such a thing. She still wanted to live a good life!
"No. If you want to die, then go ahead and die; don't pull me along with you. What do you mean by that? If I join the army, will I be safe? If there is something or someone I want to be safe from, then it's you and the Bai family. I bet you came here to convince me to join the army because you want to use me for some benefit in exchange; am I right?"
She didn't waste any time talking with Su Hu. She bluntly pointed out the truth, as she knew Su Hu too well. He was the kind of man who looked down on women the most, but at the same time, he found no shame in using them to his advantage.
If not for this, she would have felt a bit sympathetic towards his situation. It seemed like Bai Xue had finally started using her ultimate move that she used in her past life. Using the men who were attracted to her to lure in female ability users.
In her past life, it took Bai Xue a long time to make use of such a move in her life.
But without Bai Meiyue taking care of her on every turn, it must have been hard on Bai Xue to get what she wanted without Bai Meiyue helping her act as a leader—Bai Xue must be having a hard time finding her footing.
