Yan Wanning, however, didn’t reply to Bai Meiyue as she had already thought quite a lot about her daughter’s grievances. No wonder her daughter cried so wretchedly. Her daughter getting bullied by someone, the company trying to suppress the matter as they were worried that Bai Meiyue would drag them to court for joining hands together with Bai Qingshi.
Even Bai Zhan and Bai Jixuan had the same thoughts: why would a company offer such a generous compensation unless they wanted to silence the voices of the victim?
"Yueyue, don’t worry. Even if we are poor, our daughters cannot be bullied. I will deal with this matter; just trust Mom." Yan Wanning’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red. She had already heard the gist of the matter; her ex-husband tried to send Bai Meiyue to one of his clients. What kind of good things could those old men be? Oh, her poor daughter.
"Mom!" Bai Meiyue was speechless. Though her mother was correct, she didn’t expect that her mother would be able to see things so clearly. She held her mother’s hands and said to her, "Don’t think too much. I and the company’s CEO have always been on good terms. He knew that I was in trouble so he lent me his penthouse."
The expressions of mother and sons were obviously disbelieving.
How could a little actress be close to the company’s CEO after all?
Bai Meiyue could only smile at them and explain in a calm manner, "What I said was the truth, Mom, brothers. This house was really given to me by my boss. I have worked hard for the company all these years and I have earned a lot of money, enough to buy ten penthouses like these. Even if my boss gives me this house, it is me who will be suffering a loss."
"Do you really think that your mother is a fool? You cried so hard just now and even when you called on the phone, you were filled with grievance. Don’t try to fool your mother now. I know what kind of virtue that bastard has; he must have done something really harsh for you to cry like that."
Yan Wanning didn’t trust Bai Meiyue’s words. In her mind, her daughter, who was not raised by her, was suppressed by her father and stepmother heavily and was bullied the second she turned an adult.
Now that she knew that Bai Qinghsi had such designs on her daughter, Yan Wanning was certain that the man must not have treated her daughter nicely and with that stinky mistress of his by his side, she could only imagine how poor Bai Meiyue’s life must have been.
Yan Wanning looked at her daughter, who was trying to stop her and felt even worse. Her daughter must have been tormented by Bai Qingshi and Chu Xia; no wonder she would rather be wronged than make this matter public.
"Alright, alright… I know that you want to give me justice but you still have to wait for the court hearing first. You can’t go and beat up Bai Qingshi when he is locked up in prison, right?"
Bai Meiyue gave up trying to convince her mother; she knew that even if she were to tell her mother that she was not bullied, her mother and brothers would not believe it. Since she had already lied and manipulated them into coming here, then a little more manipulation wouldn’t hurt.
Anyway, Lu Ling would soon be contacting her.
The first stage of the apocalypse was going to start very soon; thus, she only needed to wait till then.
