Bai Meiyue was quite pleased just thinking about it.
When Su Hu heard her response, his face twisted in anger, as he had not expected such a thing to happen. He thought that as long as he tried to explain things clearly to Bai Meiyue, the latter would be able to understand his stance.
But it seemed like he overestimated her. In the end, she was still a woman who was wet behind her ears and could not understand what was good for her.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel that it was too unfair.
Why did someone like Bai Meiyue awaken such a powerful ability user? It should have been him. If he were the one who awakened such a powerful ability, he would have used it to do so many things.
But no! The one who awakened was Bai Meiyue.
If only it were only him, thought Su Hu wistfully while looking at his hands.
"Yueyue, this is not the time to think with ego," Su Hu said to Bai Meiyue.
Even though he disliked the fact that he had to beg her, Su Hu knew that he had to do it; as long as this woman was willing to join the base, he would be able to get a position which would bring him to new heights.
"Think of it . If you join the base, then you will be able to make the lives of your family members really comfortable. You no longer had to worry about their protection and safety or them starving."
After he finished speaking, he hoped that Bai Meiyue would be able to see that he was only trying to do what was best for all of them.
"What benefits are they handing you?" Instead of answering, Bai Meiyue crossed her arms in front of her bosom. She remarked, "And don't say that it's nothing; I am not a fool, Su Hu. I know that you wouldn't waste so much of your time just because you want to do something good for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Hu's cheeks turned red. He looked somewhat embarrassed because he never expected Bai Meiyue to outright expose him .
He forced a smile and said to her, "You are misunderstanding me. Someone did indeed entrust me with the task of convincing you to join the base, but I'm not doing it because I am looking for some kind of benefit from you."
Upon hearing his shameless words, Bai Meiyue scoffed.
Hearing her scoff, Su Hu was a bit more embarrassed, but when he thought about how he had already thrown more than half of his face aside, he decided to throw the rest of it as well. "I am being honest. Think of it , Yueyue. As long as you agree to join the base, you will be given special benefits."
"In this world, the construction of a base is the best thing that could happen to human beings. You will not lose anything if you join the army anyway. If anything, there are only benefits waiting for you. You are a water ability user; think about it . With your ability, you will definitely become important to the base. As long as you become important to the base, you and your family will live a life of peace. What's wrong with it?"
"Who are you trying to fool?" Bai Meiyue asked with a soft chuckle. With a flick, she knotted her fingers in the long, tangled locks of the man in front of her and pulled his head back. She whispered, "And this is why I despise you, Su Hu. At least Bai Xue has the guts to confess that she is scheming against me when we are alone."
"But you-you are simply too cowardly. You don't have the guts to say the truth; even if you are dying, you will pretend to be a good person and say that you were doing everything for your victim's benefit. If you are going to scheme, have the guts to admit that you are scheming."
She then pushed the man away from her with a look of disgust on her face. With any luck, Su Hu's comeuppance would soon be arriving; she doesn't have to worry about it.
Shaking off the many locks that she had pulled off his head, Bai Meiyue raised her head and looked at the man who was looking at her with shock in his eyes.
As if he truly couldn't believe that Bai Meiyue had done something to him.
She sneered and said, "Why are you so worried? You think that I will not hurt you? What kind of daydream are you having?" Tipping her head, she stated, "Now get lost before I lose my temper with you."
When the man didn't move, Bai Meiyue made a move violently, causing Su Hu to scamper.
She watched the man running and curled her lips in a cold sneer. At the same time, she thought about Bai Feng. When she thought about how that man had fallen into another trap set by Bai Xue, she shook her head. She wondered how Bai Feng would be tortured by Bai Xue.
However, she didn't care about these things.
Bai Xue must be thinking that sending Bai Feng to the base was one of her smartest moves. But that idiot had no idea that she was doing something really foolish. The reason Bai Meiyue had allowed Bai Xue to live for so long was because of Bai Feng. As long as that man was alive, she would respect the promise that she had made and not touch the Bai family.
But the second Bai Feng breathed his last, she would come to take the dog lives of the Bai family.
The more she thought about it, the more her heart was filled with glee. Even though Bai Meiyue knew that it was wrong of her to imagine the day when Bai Feng died, the grudge that she had been carrying for two lifetimes couldn't be solved without the blood of the Bai family running dry.
And for that, Bai Feng's death was important.
