Unfortunately, Fu Wan was stubborn through and through. She demanded that Shen Zhen come and treat her in the north wing. Of course, Shen Zhen didn’t accept her wilful demands. First of all, she had so many patients to take care of; how could she throw them away just for one person? Secondly, Fu Wan’s attitude was wrong. She was neither handicapped nor in any condition that she couldn’t move to the maternity ward.
She was just being arrogant, and Shen Zhen had no time to care about her arrogance. If the woman didn’t want to move into the maternity ward, then at most she could convince her and the people around her. There was nothing else that she could do after all; Shen Zhen couldn’t throw away hundreds of lives for one.
These tough men didn’t understand anything, but they did know that Fu Wan needed to move to the maternity ward because she was getting closer and closer to the due date. However, nothing they said seemed to be getting past Fu Wan’s thick skull!
While the men were worried about how stubborn Fu Wan was being, Fu Wan was full of anger and sorrow. She could not understand why Brother Wenxuan didn’t want to pay attention to her. She clearly loved him more than that woman could ever love him, and yet he still pined after her, even though she was the one who was going to give birth to his child!
Fu Wan felt livid when she thought about how Bai Wenxuan didn’t want to pay attention to her and her child. She started throwing a tantrum while muttering angrily, "I am telling you that you all need to get me some meat. If you don’t get me meat, then I will jump down from the balcony. Anyway, Brother Wenxuan doesn’t care about me. He is still pining after that woman. I know he is! That shameless vixen is still in his heart—wahhhh!"
Xiao Chenye was speechless. When he heard the words of the woman in front of him, he wished he could split open her head and see what was going on in her head all day long. Who was the vixen here!?
He, however, knew that there was nothing that he could do at the moment; he could only grit his teeth and promise Fu Wan that he was going to get her some meat.
Only then did the woman stop making a fuss.
"How are you going to get meat, Leader Xiao?" one of the subordinates asked with a hint of a frown on his face. "We have no crystal nuclei, and even if we want to buy the meat from Miss Bai, Miss Fu would not let us have any crystal nuclei."
"Don’t do this, don’t do that. That woman is simply our nemesis. How can she just spout nonsensical orders at every turn? Does she still think that the world is the same? That we can just head outside to any supermarket and then buy meat? As if it is that easy!" one of the hot-blooded men couldn’t help but snap angrily. He had been listening to the orders that Fu Wan had been passing around for a while, and now he had had enough of them.
"Calm down. It’s just for a while longer." Xiao Chenye rubbed his forehead, as he, too, had no idea what to do with this woman either. She had not returned the crystal nuclei to them. Where else did she think that they could get meat from other than buying it from Bai Meiyue?
"I suggest you should go and talk with Old Master Bai, Leader Xiao." Finally, a man spoke up and said reasonably, "He is treated quite respectfully here. I believe that if he speaks up, we will be able to buy the meat without handing in the crystal nuclei. At least until the young master returns. We can then repay the crystal nuclei that we owe, Miss Bai."
Xiao Chenye couldn’t think of anything better either, so he also agreed and then went to look for Bai Meiyue. When he arrived at the mansion where Bai Meiyue and her family lived, they were just having dinner. With the goats getting bigger and bigger, they decided to butcher the old one and roast it over fire with spices and the antidote for the poison that Bai Meiyue had prepared to take care of the poison and the toxins in the mutated meat.
There was also lamb soup, chops and some wraps that looked delicious with sauces dripping from them as Old Master Bai bit into them. However, before he could even start enjoying his meal, he heard that the leader of the bodyguards, Xiao Chenye, had come looking for him. He frowned. Not wanting to meet the man at all, but when he thought about how Xiao Chenye would never come looking for him for no reason, he allowed him to come inside.
Xiao Chenye had his head lowered. Even though no one made things difficult for her, they didn’t give him a good look either. The more he tried to pretend that everything was fine, the more disdainful their gazes became. In the end, he could only lower his head and enter the mansion like he was a criminal who had committed the most heinous crime.
"What’s going on?" Old Master Bai licked the fat off his lips and turned to look at Xiao Chenye. He didn’t want to waste his time with this brat when such a delicious meal was in front of him. His stomach was rumbling, and it seemed like the mice inside were just minutes away from starting a war. Since that was the case, why would he waste his time discussing useless things with Xiao Chenye?
"Old Master Bai, good evening. I —"
"Alright, alright," Old Master Bai waved his hand and ignored the greeting that Xiao Chenye gave to him. "Just tell me what you want. I know you didn’t come here to see this old man, did you?"
