Bai Meiyue curled her lips. However, she didn't wish to entangle with Lu Yin; if the woman wanted to feel all happy and giddy just because she was being used as a messenger girl, then she might as well let her enjoy this feeling a bit more.
"Go and tell him that we will be out in a few seconds," Bai Meiyue calmly told Lu Yin. Her expression was calm and she didn't look like she was looking for a fight but something about Bai Meiyue's stance made Lu Yin frown. But she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Bai Meiyue watched the woman turn on her feet and walk away with a sneer on her face. Lu Yin was way too young to compete with her just yet.
She turned to look at Jiang Haidai and said to her, "You should get ready too."
Jiang Haidai nodded and agreed.
Bai Meiyue left the room without saying anything more; she took the recyclable bowl with her and then threw it in the trash can. Behind her, Jiang Haidai helped her son put his shoes on and then followed after Bai Meiyue.
Lei Qian and the rest of the team had already gathered in the small hall of the inn. When they saw Jiang Haidai coming downstairs, they nodded at her but Dacheng, who stood quietly in the corner, curled his lips when he saw the woman bringing her son along with him.
This was why he didn't like dealing with women. They were simply a drag.
He walked over to where Jiang Haidai was standing and glanced at her. He asked in a polite voice, "are you coming with us?"
Though he hid his contempt, Jiang Haidai, who had been living with Meng Guo's father for more than three years, naturally sensed it. Though she didn't like how the man looked down at her, she still raised her head and smiled at him.
She nodded and replied, "Yes, don't worry, I will take care of myself and the children."
When Dacheng heard her words, he was so amused that he curled his lips in a mocking smile. Though he looked down at Jiang Haidai, this woman who was locked up by a big boss and treated like a servant, he didn't mock her outright.
Instead, he nodded and said, "Very well. I hope that you will do fine, Sister Jiang. After all, once we arrive at the hospital, no one would have the time to take care of you. If something happens, then I am afraid that you will be in trouble. So please think things through."
Though he spoke politely, every word seemed to be condemning Jiang Haidai.
Listening to his words, Jiang Haidai could no longer maintain her smile. She secured Meng Guo on the back and then said to him coolly, "Don't worry, since I decided to follow the team, I know the risks. Even if I am dying with my son, I will deal with it. You don't have to come and save me."
