Bai Xiao glanced at Bai Mei, who was on the verge of madness.
Looking at Bai Xiao, her eyes seemed murderous, and indeed, she wanted to kill someone. At this moment, Bai Mei no longer wanted Bai Xiao to survive. If just a moment ago she had hoped that Bai Xiao would be tormented in the den, better dead than alive, now Bai Mei understood that Brother Xiaodao had feelings for Bai Xiao after he had arranged some matters.
This woman, no matter the circumstances, was always so lucky. Just look how quickly her man fell for this woman—not just a little bit—wanting to take her away to become a private treasure; even her own status was about to be replaced. Was it easy for her to reach this point today?
That mountain trader who eloped with her was, bluntly put, a swindler. He promised her the stars and the skies, and brought her back, only for her to realize it was all in a poor and remote village. Bai Mei was not one to suffer, but the issue was the man was worthless. Not to mention being poor, he also liked to smoke opium, spending all the money at home on that stuff, leaving Bai Mei in utter misery.
The man watched her so closely, she couldn’t even run away.
As a result, Bai Mei was sold by this man to a hair salon. She didn’t know what these women were called there, but she became one of the women under Brother Xiaodao, dealing in this kind of business. Not do it?
She wouldn’t even know how she would have died.
Every woman who worked for Brother Xiaodao wasn’t beaten or scolded, nor was she held captive, but all were forced or tricked into taking something. In any case, once you’re in, you’re in for life with Brother Xiaodao. Once the addiction hits, you’d do anything he asks.
That’s how she found herself on this pirate ship, unable to disembark.
Luckily, she was smart, knowing how to use her own capital. Bai Mei was good-looking, though not as beautiful as Bai Xiao. Beauty is different from beauty. Bai Xiao’s was a stunning, pure kind, with an intense coldness that made her untouchable. But Bai Mei was different; hers was the allure of a seductress.
One was like a bold, enchanting rose, and the other like a subtle jasmine.
Thus, Bai Mei successfully clung to Brother Xiaodao and had become the current "Sister Mei." But now, Bai Xiao was threatening to steal her business.
Brother Xiaodao had already begun to treat her differently without much happening.
How could Bai Mei not act ruthlessly?
But she wasn’t in a hurry; rushing wouldn’t help. Her subordinates were all Brother Xiaodao’s men, and no small move could escape Brother Xiaodao’s eyes. Even if she wanted to pull something off, Brother Xiaodao likely wouldn’t allow it.
However, she was all too familiar with Brother Xiaodao’s methods. Bai Xiao certainly couldn’t escape. When it came time to tamper with those things, she didn’t believe Bai Xiao wouldn’t end up ruined. After all, an overdose of that stuff could kill, and if she really died, what could Brother Xiaodao say?
At most, he would beat her up, but he couldn’t eat her alive. She knew all too well why Brother Xiaodao relied on her: she could manage those women well, save him a lot of trouble, and bring more income to Brother Xiaodao.
Brother Xiaodao left, arm in arm with Bai Mei.
Bai Xiao tugged at Shao Ming, "Hurry! We’re heading to the Third District. Have you alerted your people? I don’t want to have to waste more energy trying to find Bai Mei again." This time, she was determined to settle matters, and if she could kill two birds with one stone, Bai Xiao would be even more pleased.
After all, she wouldn’t miss Liu Chuanfeng’s invitation. A person needs a face, like a tree needs its bark. Liu Chuanfeng was Kaiwen’s right-hand man, and today, if she didn’t break at least one of Kaiwen’s arms, she’d be sorry for coming from so far away.
