Guide to tame my villainous husbands novel Chapter 1208

The silence in the car continued to stretch. At first Yu Gen wanted to say something but seeing that Mo Qiang was silently looking at the streets of the Imperial City, she too calmly sat down.

For a good fifteen minutes, only the sound of the engine humming echoed in the silent car. It was only when they got a bit closer to the destination that Mo Qiang opened her mouth as she said to Yu Gen, "I was thinking—how much is the damage repair cost after the attack on the city?"

Her words were casual and so was her tone, which didn't give anything away.

Yu Gen blinked her eyes and naively answered, "Ah, are you worried about that? Don't worry; it's not too big of an expense; it's just a few months' budget. Though a few parts will require a complete redo, it's not a big trouble even if we have to take out two years expense."

"Two years, hmm…" Mo Qiang curled her lips in a slight smile. "So, what if—I hadn't dealt with the Zerg bats as well as the dome that covered the entire city? What kind of damage would it have left behind?"

Yu Gen stiffened. She had a feeling that Mo Qiang was taking this conversation in a rather different direction. She narrowed her eyes and questioned, "That—it would have been more than ten years."

"Heh," Mo Qiang snickered. She crossed her legs and interlocked her fingers before resting them on her knees. She looked straight at Yu Gen and smirked, "Then it means to say that I saved quite a lot of wealth and budget of your nation. That too, by playing with my life, sigh... I have to say that it was quite dangerous to do so."

"Miss Mo, I am afraid that I do not understand what you are saying," Yu Gen tried to play dumb.

However, this dumb ball was ignored by Mo Qiang as she sighed heavily. "You are right. I was just thinking that compared to the fees that we originally agreed on with the budget, that would require the entire city to be rebuilt if I hadn't stepped in. I just can't help but wonder if there was something wrong with it."

She then smiled sweetly at Yu Gen and said, "But of course, there is no need for you to worry about such things. I was just sharing my thoughts and feelings with you. I mean, I worked so hard and drove those bats away but your daughter—well, the one you raised—actually placed everyone's life in danger."

"I am not digging a wound; I just think that the situation could have been avoided if that woman was closely monitored. Because of her—sigh—look at this; I had to stay in the hospital for so long. I nearly couldn't get back on my feet and it was through sheer luck that I was able to make it alive."

"If only that woman had not done such a thing, then we would have been fine. But she just had to do it; though some lives were lost, who can be blamed for it?"

"Certainly not me and you but when you think about it, don't you think that for someone who worked so tirelessly without even caring about her own life—while doing everything to save the lives of those who only waited to gobble her flesh and drink her blood while swallowing her core—she deserved to be treated a bit better, right?"
