Chapter 904: Ignoring the Old Bai Family

Even Bai Meiyue couldn’t help but gain some weight while her mother was taking care of her. She used to be petite and thin, but since her mother started taking care of her, she had gained two circles around her waist. In fact, she would have gained even more weight if not for the fact that there were refugees coming in every single day; Bai Meiyue would have gained even more weight.

Some of the refugees were sent by Dacheng as a test, while some of them were true refugees. Of course, Bai Meiyue did not allow anyone to enter the safe base; instead, she let them stay with the other survivors who were living outside the safe base. Anyway, they were under the protection of the safe base, and there was no need for them to take these survivors inside the safe base.

Anyway, surviving in the poisonous mist was safe enough. Though it was dangerous to survive in the poisonous mist, it also provided another layer of protection to the survivors. Anyway, being able to survive was already a gift from heaven. There was no point in asking for more.

What was more, Bai Meiyue understood one thing very clearly. If someone did not have any curiosity, they would never worry about what was going on inside the safe base. Nor would they wish to enter the safe base. As long as they could survive, it was good enough.

Only those who had hidden intentions would be dying to enter the safe base.

And to cap it all, planes and letters from the safe base in the capital started arriving every second day. They all had only one motive, and that was to make Bai Meiyue submit. They actually sent words every day saying they wanted this and that. Of course, Bai Meiyue had been ignoring these letters. They had not said a word about Yan Wanning and had been ignoring her existence as if nothing was wrong. Since that was the case, why would Bai Meiyue be eager to discuss anything with Old Madam Bai?

Anyway, from the letters, Bai Meiyue knew one thing. The zombie tide outside the safe base at the capital was yet to disappear. If anything, it was only getting stronger, and so was the war that was going on in the capital among the four families. Old Madam Bai wanted to make use of her and her resources, but there was no way Bai Meiyue was going to accept the old woman’s requests. Anyway, the old woman had been pretending that their family did not exist and that they were just mere strangers.

Since that was the case, Bai Meiyue had no desire to help her either, nor did she have any obligations.

Of course, this was something that Old Madam Bai could not accept, and she kept sending more people and letters in hope that Bai Meiyue would send meat and the rest of the resources to her. She even called Yang Wei and made her visit Bai Meiyue. Of course, Bai Meiyue refused to meet with that woman. She was unwilling to meet even Bai Wenxuan, her own cousin. So why would she meet with Yang Wei? She absolutely refused to!

So, while Bai Meiyue was refusing to meet with Yang Wei, Old Madam Bai’s patience was wearing thin.

"Did she reply?" Old Madam Bai asked while sipping on the warm water that was served to her by Bai Yi. However, as soon as she took a sip of the water, she could not help but frown. Damn it, what was going on? In the past, she had never thought about drinking plain water when she wanted to drink tea, and now she was suffering in such a manner. This was too much.

"No, Old Madam." The servant who sent the letter shook his head and sighed heavily. He wondered why he was the one handling this mess. He was only in charge of sending the letter, so why was he dealing with this old woman’s anger?

Sure enough, Old Madam Bai threw the cup in her hand onto the floor. "That damned woman. How can she ignore me like this? I am still her grandmother!" Though Old Madam Bai was unwilling to accept Yan Wanning, she had no qualms about accepting Bai Meiyue. She had heard all about Bai Meiyue. Not only was the woman the leader of the safe base where she was living, but she was also quite a powerful ability user.

Bai Yi lowered her head. She did not say a word. She knew that the reason Bai Meiyue was ignoring them was that Old Madam Bai was not willing to accept her mother. This was the only reason why Bai Meiyue was refusing to acknowledge Old Madam Bai. In the past, she would have definitely asked Old Madam Bai to accept Yan Wanning and Bai Meiyue, but this time around, she did not dare to do so.

Because she knew that if she asked Old Madam Bai to bring Yan Wanning, there was a good chance that the old hag would actually accept Yan Wanning in the family. After all, that woman was quite lucky. She had three children and all three of them were powerful ability users. Given the conditions, who would be foolish enough to refuse those three ability users?

Bai Yi, thus, did not dare to say anything.

Old Madam Bai, on the other hand, had no idea what was going on in Bai Yi’s head. She was currently worried about the current situation. Without Bai Meiyue helping their safe base, how were they going to survive and how were they going to establish their dominance in this safe base? That fool. She did not even understand something so simple.

"Mom, do we really have to rely on that woman?" Bai Yi could not help but ask. She wished Bai Meiyue to stay away as far as possible. Because if Bai Meiyue started getting closer to Old Madam Bai—then Yan Wanning would end up getting close to her adoptive mother as well. That would be terrible for her!
