Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 693

693: Contracting Another Spirit 693: Contracting Another Spirit Yan Wanning didn’t want to brood over something that had already happened.

But she couldn’t help herself.

She felt extremely sad when she thought about how the Yan family had treated her like a fool throughout her entire life.

They stole her away and didn’t even treat her well.

What made her even more upset was her real parents never found anything amiss.

They happily raised another woman as their daughter; if Old Master Bai had never run into her, maybe she would have never found out that she was not the daughter of the Yan family.  She would have died without knowing the truth!  Bai Meiyue naturally understood the anger that her mother was feeling at the moment but honestly, no one could do anything at this point.

If anything, Bai Meiyue could only praise the man who was behind the scenes.

He was able to hide the truth for so many years, which proved that this man was not a simple person.

Of course, even if Bai Meiyue thought so, she was not foolish enough to tell her mother that there was no point in getting upset.  She took her mother’s hand and comfortingly said to her, “Mom, if you don’t want to talk about the Bai family or to Old Master Bai, then no one is going to force you.

You are right; the Bai family is indeed at fault.

How can they not notice that the child they were raising didn’t belong to them?”  Since her mother was upset over this matter, then she might as well agree with her.

As long as it made her mother happy, Bai Meiyue had no qualms.  Bai Jixuan also cottoned on and nodded on the side.

“Yueyue is right, mom.

If you don’t want to talk with Old Master Bai, then you don’t have to.

We will ask him to leave you alone; anyway, he and his family were fine without you for so many years, a few more days won’t matter.”  When Yan Wanning heard his words, instead of feeling happy, she turned even more upset.

That’s right, the Bai family was fine without her for so many years.

They even raised another woman as their daughter and never missed her.

Maybe somewhere in his heart Old Master Bai was worried that she would trouble his precious daughter, which was why he deliberately hid the truth from her.

If not, why would he not tell the truth after finding out that she was his daughter?

He would have at least told the truth to her.

Even if he didn’t want to accept her as his daughter, this was what she deserved.  When Bai Meiyue and Bai Zhan saw the changing expressions of their mother, they knew what she was thinking.

The two of them exchanged a glance with one another and then smacked Bai Jixuan on the back of his head.  Sensing the change in Yan Wanning’s mood, Lei Qian sensibly spoke up, “Or maybe Old Master Bai is also a victim of the current situation.

I can see that Old Master Bai is really guilty and if he didn’t care about Aunt Yan, then he wouldn’t have stepped in when she was getting bullied by her nominal brother.

I believe that there must be a reason why Old Master Bai kept this a secret.

There are many hidden dangers when it comes to strong, powerful and rich families, Aunt Yan.

Just take a look at what I have for brother?

He causes trouble for me everywhere he goes and wishes me to die a horrible death.”  “Maybe Old Master Bai was worried that if his enemies found out that he had found his daughter, they would hurt you?”  Yan Wanning still felt unwell but after hearing Lei Qian’s explanation, she felt a bit more relieved.

At least this explanation sounded much nicer.  When Bai Meiyue saw that the complexion of her mother had improved, she cast a grateful look at Lei Qian and decided that she was going to treat him better in the future.

But right now, it wasn’t the time to think about such things.

She pursed her lips and asked the question that had been pressing in her mind for a while now, “Mother, tell me.

Do you think that Bai Qingshi knew about this?”  Bai Meiyue was unwilling to call Bai Qingshi her father and was extremely disgusted by him.

Her feelings became even more intense when she thought of the possibility that maybe Bai Qingshi’s wealth came from her mother’s sufferings and yet that man abandoned her mother without a second thought in his head.  When Yan Wanning heard Bai Meiyue’s words, a confused expression etched on her face but soon the confusion cleared up and she recalled the things that her ex-husband had done in the past.

When she was eighteen, she had somehow managed to get a job in Cloud city but the next day when she returned home after farming, Bai Qingshi told her that he had burnt her employment letter by mistake.

Back then she was young and naive and believed his lies but now that she thought about it, Yan Wanning had a feeling that it wasn’t what she thought.  “Now that I think about it, your father did make a lot of trouble for me.

Every time I tried to leave the village, he would stop me.” Yan Wanning’s eyes flashed with hatred.

It seemed like not only the Yan family but also the Bai family knew that she was not from the Yan family and used her misfortune to build their own fortune.

How despicable.

Bang!  Bai Jixuan clenched the glass in his hand too tight, causing the shards to fly all over the place.

He looked like a ferocious beast that had been restrained.  “Calm down,” Bai Zhan took the glass from Bai Jixuan and wiped his hands.

He looked at the wounds on his brother’s hands and then smeared the ointment that Bai Meiyue had given him earlier to heal their wounds.

“You cannot lose your temper like this.”
