Chapter 592: 322 Taking pleasure in other’s misfortune_2

The situation inside the Star Mercenary Corps might not be very clear to outsiders, but within Beishi Base, people always heard some news. Originally, when Fang Yuxin appeared, some thought that the Qu Family had struck good fortune, having a precious Second-level Wood Element Superpower User literally delivered to their doorstep. Now it seems Qu Xiuhong was incredibly unlucky to have married Lu Weiwei, a woman who couldn’t bear scrutiny, and to have fathered Qu Qianlin, a son who was more trouble than he was worth!

Especially those aware of the Qu Family’s past grievances couldn’t help but secretly mock them, believing that Qu Xiuhong definitely recieved his karma, hence encountering so many troubles!

However, no matter what these people thought, what had happened had happened, and no matter how much Qu Xiuhong and Qu Qiancheng regretted it afterward, they couldn’t simply swallow their pride and go apologize to Fang Yuxin and others. Qu Xiuhong was older now and although he felt that Lu Weiwei and Qu Qianlin had caused him great embarrassment, he didn’t think their mistakes were too severe; he always felt that Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuxin were too disrespectful!

After much consideration, Qu Xiuhong finally decided that after a few days, when the anger in Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuxin’s hearts had subsided a bit, he would go and find them. Qu Qiancheng thought similarly. So, they stopped dwelling on the Fang Family’s affairs and swiftly put on smiles, taking wine to chat with familiar faces.

The Qu Family was in a tough spot; they had to endure and not be stripped of their power; they needed to bond more with other influential figures and be prepared to concede some benefits if necessary.

Bai Ye was always worried that the Qu Family would cause trouble for the Fang Family. Seeing that these people seemed to have calmed down, he no longer just watched from a distance and walked towards his parents in the distance. Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou had come early and had been discreetly keeping an eye on the situation with the Fang Family. When Qu Qianlin started causing trouble at first, they really couldn’t stand it and wanted to help. However, before they could speak up, Fang Yuxin and the others had already resolved the problem.

To avoid making matters worse, they refrained from interfering further. It was only after the Fang Family members had left that they quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou were significantly older than Qu Xiuhong, they held deep disdain for Qu Xiuhong and even the entire Qu Family’s actions.

Having just witnessed the shamelessness of Qu Qianlin and Lu Weiwei firsthand, their view of the Qu Family worsened, and even started disliking Qin Xiran. Qin Xiran was originally the young lady of the Qin Family, who had once intended to match her with Bai Ye; unfortunately, whether Bai Ye was too indifferent or not, Qin Xiran didn’t like him.

Later, when Bai Ye gave up entering the Military Department to become a mercenary, ruining his future prospects, the Qin Family no longer brought up the marriage or bothered him again. Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou were actually relieved about this.

Because Bai Ye was previously too cold to Qin Xiran, while they didn’t think much of the Qin Family, they still liked this beautiful girl. Who knew that as Qin Xiran grew older, she would become increasingly unreasonable! She was clinging to Fang Yuyang relentlessly, causing him a lot of trouble; and that would have been fine, but she even started targeting Fang Yuxin, which was absolutely unreasonable jealousy!

However, they weren’t close to Qin Xiran now, so it wasn’t their place to reprimand her, and they just felt annoyed internally for a while. What they were more concerned about were Bai Ye and the Bai Family’s issues. Bai Ye’s previous suspicion had greatly alarmed Bai Zhengli; thus, after arriving at the party, he was very vigilant.

Just then, Bai Ye, that rascal, actually told him that many pinhole cameras had been installed in the hall! They could monitor every angle!

Bai Zhengli wasn’t entirely sure about Zhao Qiankun’s surveillance of the Bai Family, but after hearing that, he felt it was highly likely. Fortunately, Bai Ye quickly destroyed those cameras, otherwise staying here for even a second more was unbearable for him!

When Bai Ye came over, Bai Zhengli gave him a dissatisfied glare—oh, you still remember your old man?

Bai Ye was helpless; his parents were, after all, from the Bai Family—even if they were collateral relatives, they weren’t people outsiders could bully. They wouldn’t be in trouble at the party, so why should he stick around them relentlessly? If he really did that, Bai Zhengli would definitely find him annoying and tell him to get lost!

Bai Zhengli wasn’t truly angry with him and stopped paying him any attention after the glare. After all, this place belonged to Zhao Qiankun, and it really wasn’t the place to speak. Meanwhile, Bai Ye was staring at Bai Yi, thinking of the memories Fang Yuxin had extracted from Poison Wolf’s mind, wishing he could fiercely beat him up!

His gaze was too piercing, and Bai Yi quickly noticed. Turing his head, he met Bai Ye’s cold gaze, pulled the corner of his mouth up into a cold sneer, showing disdain.

Bai Ye really didn’t want to bother with this fool; what time was it now, and he was still thinking about pulling strings and scheming—Zhao Qiankun might just take advantage of him one day!

Yet, despite Bai Ye ignoring him, Bai Yi refused to let him go. Holding a glass of wine, he quickly walked up to Bai Ye, lowered his voice into a cold laugh, "Your heart is really big, the girl from the Fang surname is being targeted by Zhao Qiankun, yet you still have the mood to drink here. Aren’t you afraid of being cuckolded one day?"

Bai Ye glanced at him disdainfully, "Don’t you want me not to be with Xinxin? If she’s really taken by Zhao Qiankun, wouldn’t that suit your wishes?"

Bai Yi snorted coldly, slightly bowed his head and said gleefully, "Bai Ye, Zhao Qiankun is a ruthless man. If he finds out the woman he fancies has a thing with you, he definitely won’t let you off. I’m looking forward to seeing that."

Bai Ye looked at him mockingly and retorted, "Maybe you should worry about yourself."
