Bai Meiyue narrowed her eyes when she heard the good deeds that Uncle Yan had done, but she somehow managed to restrain her temper. She knew that her mother still cared about the Yan family even when they had never raised her with love or care. Bai Meiyue knew how hard it was for someone to get rid of the brainwashing that they had gone through since they were children; she, too, went through a lot of suffering before she could break free from Chu Xia’s control.
"Yo, Yueyue, you have grown up so well," Uncle Yan smiled at Bai Meiyue with a hint of a calculating glint in his eyes. He looked at Bai Meiyue, who was much prettier than any woman in his village, and wondered how much she would sell for if he tried to push her to an old man who would be willing to buy her for a reasonable price. Of course, first he needed to take care of the child in her belly because no one would be willing to sleep with a woman who was pregnant with the child of some other man.
Of course, Bai Meiyue noticed that there was something wrong with Uncle Yan’s gaze, but she didn’t make a move on him out of respect for her mother. She said to him, "Uncle Yan, why are you causing trouble here for no reason?"
Uncle Yan widened his eyes as if he couldn’t understand what the woman was saying to him. He blinked his eyes innocently and said to Bai Meiyue, "Trouble? No, Yueyue. I just asked your mother to give me space in your big mansion. I am her brother and the only family left. How can she not take care of me?" He glanced at Yan Wanning and shot her a sleazy look. "I mean, our parents will be really upset if she ignores me, her only brother."
Bai Meiyue frowned and stepped close to the man. She was about to tell the man that he could piss off, but then she felt her mother holding her wrist. Bai Meiyue turned and looked at her mother in confusion, and when she saw Yan Wanning, her mother shook her head at her; she sighed heavily. She knew that her mother was feeling sentimental, but Uncle Yan was not worthy of her sentiments! That man left her to die in Bai Meiyue’s previous life.
"Mom—"
"Brother", Yan Wanning didn’t listen to what Bai Meiyue was telling her and turned to look at her brother with a hint of tremor in her voice. "I know that you are in a difficult situation, but we cannot do anything to help you. I, too, am relying on my children, so how can I help you? If you want, then I can arrange a job for you at the safe zone. That way, you can earn supplies and live your life properly. That’s all I can do for you. So please don’t make things difficult for my daughter."
This was the first time Yan Wanning was standing against someone from the Yan family, and she felt really scared, but more than scared, she felt really relieved after she stood up against her brother when they were young; her brother bullied her and even treated her like his slave. And even though he was really harsh on her, their parents never said anything. Her mother even told her that she was a money-losing thing and should take care of her brother properly. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
