"Are you injured?" When Bai Meiyue returned to the mansion, she ran into Xu Yiyi. The latter had arrived at the mansion to discuss the working conditions of her girls and was quite satisfied with how the people in the mansion didn’t dare to look down at them after Bai Meiyue passed down the orders that no one could insult her girls. She was quite happy, but after seeing the blood on Bai Meiyue’s clothes, she was no longer as joyous as she was before. "Where does it hurt?"
"It’s not my blood," sensing that the woman had misunderstood, Bai Meiyue corrected her. She then relayed everything that happened to Xu Yiyi, who clicked her tongue in annoyance. "They really don’t know how to appreciate good things. Isn’t it good enough that we get a place to stay and live a proper life? Why go to such lengths and for what?" Xu Yiyi couldn’t understand why these men couldn’t have just lived their lives like they were living at the moment. Why take such unnecessary risks?
Bai Meiyue shook her head. "These risks might be foolish in your eyes, but those with great ambitions will think that these risks are what they should take to climb higher."
"What about the bodies? Are you going to throw them in front of those man-eating bushes?" Xu Yiyi asked with a tilt of her head, and Bai Meiyue arched a brow. Though many were aware of the fact that the bushes ate animals and mutated bugs, only a few knew that they could even eat a human body.
But Xu Yiyi seemed to know more than the rest.
Maybe Xu Yiyi sensed what Bai Meiyue was thinking; she rolled her eyes. "Do you think my life here is comfortable? There are many men who come to cause trouble for me all the time. I just wanted to ditch a body at the outskirts, who would have expected that those bushes would attack the body upon sensing the smell of blood?"
"So you killed someone?"
"Not anyone of importance. You will thank me for taking care of that bastard." XuYiyi didn’t seem like she was regretful over the fact that she had killed someone. She seemed calm and collected, as if it was nothing new for her.
Bai Meiyue arched a brow. No wonder this woman was able to climb so high in her past life. She was not hesitant to kill when necessary and knew when to pull back and please someone. She was smart and surprisingly quite witty. She even managed to deal with a body without letting anyone find out.
"What are you doing here? Came to see your girls?" Even though Bai Meiyue understood what the woman had done, she still didn’t bother to question her about who this man was and what he did. He must have done something that reversed Xu Yiyi’s scale because the woman wouldn’t have killed him.
