Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Bai Guowei faced Bai Xifeng

"I came to see why there is so much noise in front of my house. To think there is a barking dog here, how noisy it is."

Bai Guowei and Bai Chao heard a voice. They turned to look at the owner of the voice.

"Young Lady..." Bai Chao was surprised to see Bai Xifeng at this hour.

"What happened here?" Bai Xifeng asked Bai Chao.

She did not bother to greet Bai Guowei, who stood there.

"Master Bai Guowei wants to see your father. He wants to enter our house and wants to wait inside." Bai Chao explained the situation.

"Bai Xifeng, how can you be so rude like this? You don’t bother to greet your elder." Bai Guowei was angry seeing Bai Xifeng’s rudeness.

"Since when have you been my elder? Please... Don’t be ridiculous." Bai Xifeng smiled mockingly at Bai Guowei.

"You... You... You can not treat me like this." Bai Guowei pointed his finger at Bai Xifeng.

"Owh... How should I treat you? You are not money." Bai Xifeng snorted.

Hearing Bai Xifeng mention money, Bai Guowei remembered that Bai Xifeng had 10 million from treating the empress dowager. In his mind, he was thinking of coaxing Bai Xifeng to cough up some of the money or even all of the money to give it to him.

"Xifeng, you know... We are really in trouble right now." Bai Guowei switched his voice tone.

"Oh..." Bai Xifeng raised her eyebrow.

Bai Guowei saw that Bai Xifeng showed some response. So, he continued his act.

"We don’t have the money to live. My salary alone is not enough to support our household. Not to mention, your aunt is currently pregnant..." Before Bai Guowei finished the sentence, Bai Xifeng cut it, showing that she was shocked.

"What? Madam Han Yunru is pregnant?" Bai Xifeng was kind of surprised.

Bai Guowei finally understood that Bai Xifeng had misunderstood something.

"No... No... No... It is not her. It is my concubine." Bai Guowei corrected the misunderstanding.

"Oh, the one that you had been hiding her in my mother’s mansion for who-god knows how long it was, right?" Bai Xifeng nodded several times.

Bai Guowei gritted his teeth. But he did not dare to get angry at Bai Xifeng.

"Well... We don’t have enough money to use. She is pregnant, but we don’t have the money to buy the nutrition needed for the baby. So, for the sake of the baby, can you lend me some money? 5... not.. 2 million is enough." Bai Guowei tried to play a sympathy card on Bai Xifeng.

"Well... I do have 10 million...." Bai Xifeng dragged her words. She could see that Bai Guowei was trying to hide his smile right now.

"But why should I lend it to you?" Bai Xifeng continued.

The sentence seemed to crush Bai Guowei’s hope.

"Do you not have any sympathy at all?" Bai Guowei glared at Bai Xifeng.

"What sympathy...." Bai Xifeng suddenly laughed for a second and stopped as she glared at Bai Guowei. "Do you remember how your family treated me before?"

Bai Guowei, who wanted to be mad at Bai Xifeng, went silent. Of course, he remembered it.

"You seem to forget about that. Let me remind you about that. Your mother and wife starved me. I had to drink the water for the whole week until someone came over to give me some food. But the food that was being given was spoiled and rotten. Sometimes, you give me leftovers that you should not give to anyone. I had to eat that disgusting food because I was so hungry. Sometimes, I had to eat grass to make the hunger disappear. Because of that, I was malnourished. Apart from that, your children, no matter, the eldest or the youngest, often came to bully me and beat me. I had no energy to respond. So they became more excited to beat me more. Where were you and what were you doing at the time? Nothing. I bet you had fun with your mistress at that time. So, tell me, why should I care about you and your concubine’s pregnancy? If you make her pregnant, that is your responsibility to work hard and make the money by yourself. Don’t come to my house asking for the money. How much money that you taken from me in the past? Should I start counting that one too, so that you can repay it?" Bai Xifeng talked for so long.

The more Bai Xifeng talked about her past, the paler Bai Guowei became. Well, he never cared about Bai Xifeng in the past. So, he let his family do whatever they wanted to Bai Xifeng. And when Bai Xifeng mentioned the money that he used in the past, Bai Guowei immediately stopped her.

"No... That is compensation for raising you." Bai Guowei stated.

"Oh... Compensation for raising me?" Bai Xifeng scoffed. "Last time, your mother sent someone asking for the money too, telling us that she was sick and needed the treatment. The pharmacist who treated her was asking 10 million for the treatment. When I asked about which pharmacist that treated her, the person who she sent could not answer that. Just because I managed to treat the empress dowager and got 10 million for it, she wanted to try to snatch it from me? That is not going to happen. I will never help your family even you guys are dying. Do you understand me?"
