Bai Meiyue listened to the complaints of her brother and the praises of her mother. She fell silent and had no idea what to say. In fact, Bai Meiyue also understood why Mother Bai was so adamant about Lei Qian. When she was young, she was taken advantage of by Bai Qingshi, who married her but didn’t take her to get the certificate.
In this way, even though Mother Bai was the one who married Bai Qingshi first, she was never called his wife. Instead, Chu Xia was given that position. Because of this, Mother Bai suffered a lot. People looked down on her and even called her a fool.
These experiences left scars on her mother’s tender heart and she didn’t want the same to happen to her daughter. She didn’t want her daughter to go through the same pain as she did, where she was abandoned by the man who used her for her body and then dumped her later on.
It wasn’t that her mother didn’t know that Bai Meiyue could find another man if she wanted; she was just worried that Bai Meiyue’s confidence and self-esteem would hurt if Lei Qian abandoned her like how Bai Qingshi did to Mother Bai.
Of course, there was also the old stigma that a woman should only stay with one man. Find exclusive stories on Freewebnovel
It was just that Bai Meiyue had no idea how to tell her mother that she didn’t plan on staying with Lei Qian. Now that he had awakened, he would only get more and more powerful; with his rising strength, many women would want to stay with him.
Even if Lei Qian didn’t want to stay with them, Bai Meiyue was well aware of the schemes those women would pull to get close to him. What if she or Bai Cai were caught in the middle? She didn’t want that to happen.
And she didn’t even know anything about Lei Qian. Other than the fact that the two of them slept together in the same bed and had a child together, Bai Meiyue had no close contact with Lei Qian.
But as she watched Lei Qian play along with her mother, even though she was nagging him quite a lot, Bai Meiyue felt a bit touched. Mother Bai was a bit childish, and once she started speaking, she wouldn’t stay quiet until she had spoken enough.
Sure enough, once she had spoken enough, she clapped her hands and said, "Qian Qian, do you want to have lunch together with us?"
"No!"
Before Lei Qian could speak, Bai Jixuan, who had finally had enough, spoke up. He got to his feet and suppressed the tone of his voice because his nephews were in the room as well. He said to his mother, "Mom, we do not have enough supplies. Master Lei is so rich and skilled; I think that he will hunt supplies enough to fill his belly instead of relying on us poor peasants."
Don’t think that he didn’t know. This man must have looked down on his sister; if not, he had so many opportunities to marry her; why didn’t he do it?
Lei Qian was helpless. He didn’t understand what he had done but for some reason, he felt that Bai Jixuan was against him and Bai Meiyue as much as he was willing in the start.
"Brother —"
