Chapter 915: I need a gift

"I am satisfied with what my life is at the moment." Yan Wanning felt her heartbeat settle. The pain in her chest disappeared, and she felt a bit better. "There is no need to fight with her." Smiling happily, she added, "Anyway, my children are all powerful ability users, and as for her, she has nothing." Bai Yi might have enjoyed her life for so many years, but now, when the situation was dangerous and it was risky to even step out of their hiding place, it was she who was living a good life. So what was she worried about?

"Mom," Bai Meiyue felt touched when she heard her mother’s words. In her past life, she had given her best of everything to Bai Qingshi and the rest, and yet instead of being satisfied, they only became more and more greedy. They all looked at her like she was a sinner who could not give them enough to eat and drink. Compared to them, her mother was the best! Not only was she satisfied with what she had, but she didn’t even want revenge.

In this way, her mother was way better than she was because even now Bai Meiyue wanted to take revenge on those who had harmed her son.

"Listen to me." Yan Wanning took Bai Meiyue’s hand gently into hers and spoke to her softly, "Yueyue, leave people like her in the hands of fate; sooner or later, they will get their comeuppance." When Bai Meiyue heard her mother’s words, she pursed her lips in silence. She did not know what to say at that very moment. She knew that her mother was a very gentle person, but at the same time she was a bit angry with her mother. What did her mother mean by saying that fate would handle those who had harmed her?

In her past life, she was played again and again by fate, and she ended up dying. What kind of fate was it? But even though she had something against her mother, she was not foolish enough to say anything to her mother. She remained silent for a while before changing the topic: "Grandfather Bai, do you want to meet with my son?"

Old Master Bai: "..."

He dropped whatever he was holding in his hands and looked at Bai Meiyue in shock. "You...what did you say to me?"

"Grandfather Bai..." Bai Meiyue politely called the old man, causing him to burst into tears. "I do. I wanted to see him from the day he was born." Old Master Bai clenched the front of his tunic and almost started to sob like a child. If not for the fact that he was in front of his daughter, he truly would have cried like a baby. Only he knew how much he wanted to see Bai Meiyue’s child, but he did not bring himself to say anything for two reasons.

First, he was worried about Bai Meiyue’s reaction. Since his granddaughter was not in favour of getting close to the Bai family, she might find it uncomfortable if he asked to see his great-grandson. Secondly, he felt that he was unworthy. He was the child’s grandfather, and yet he could not get anything good for him. This was too much of a shame.

In the past, he could have bought a castle for his great-grandson, but now he had nothing in his hands. Nothing at all. What could a castle or star do for his great-grandson? Nothing at all. Only resources were useful in this world, and he had nothing at all. If anything, it could be said that he was relying on his granddaughter to survive.

"Then—"

"Wait for me." Old Master Bai stopped Bai Meiyue and then rushed out of the greenhouse, leaving everyone speechless.

Bai Jixuan stared at the old man, who seemed to have been rejuvenated with a sort of elixir and could not help but say, "What happened to him? Why did he suddenly rush off?"

"Who knows?" Bai Zhan mused with his lips twitching. Knowing the rumours, he had a feeling that he knew where Old Master Bai had gone off to.

Bang!

The sound of his door being pushed open caused Bai Wenxuan to jump in the air. He dropped the book in his hands and turned to look at his old man. "What are you doing, Grandpa? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Hurry, take out all of your rare treasures—no, better give me a fighter jet or a tank." Old Master Bai rushed inside the mansion and demanded a gift right away, causing Bai Wenxuan to frown hard.

"Grandfather, just what are you doing? Why do you want a jet, or much less a tank? You are too old to join a battle. I hope you are not rushing out?" Bai Wenxuan thought of the possibilities and spoke with a frown.

"What do you know?" Old Master Bai glared at him before saying, "I am going to meet with my great-grandson. How can I go there without a gift? Naturally, I need a gift to give to him or else I am worried that I will be called a bad great-grandfather."

Bai Wenxuan: "..."

He looked at the old man in front of him and was speechless. "Grandfather, do you even know what a fighter jet means at this time? It can help strengthen the safe base. If we give one to Bai Meiyue, then we will weaken our own defence."

Was Bai Meiyue lacking in any way? Of course not. She had enough fighter jets in her safe base and did not need any more than the ones that she already had. Why would she need another one? And given how strong she was, was there a need to even arrange a fighter jet for her? She was strong enough to bring the entire fleet of fighting jets down!

However, as soon as he finished speaking he was slapped on the back of his head.
