Sheâs unwilling to accept such a fate! Why should another daughter be taken priority over herself when theyâre both Papaâs daughter? It doesnât make sense to her!
âFei Fei, you know it too, coming here wasnât easy for us. Your papa.... Although he is selfish, but his love for Bai Yu is still sincere, itâs just that he loves himself more. Also, the things we snatched from Bai Yi Yi, your papa only had us temporarily keep it for now. I estimate heâs going to give it back to Bai Yan once she returns in the future.â
Back then the only reason Wen Shan would agree to giving them the privilege of taking care of those properties and assets were because of Bai Yi Yiâs status as an outsider. If it wasnât for that crucial point, no level of coaxing from this pair would matter in the eyes of that cowardly man.
Fortunately for the mother and daughter here though, the selfish man didnât bother to check on the contents even after forcing Bai Yi Yi to hand it over. As a result of that fact, some of the assets had been moved and secretly used by Chai Moon and her daughter here.
For example, the Dan pills Bai Yan left behind were consumed by Wen Fei Fei, thus allowing her average constitution to grow exponentially compared to others of her age in the clan.
âMama, do you think that Bai Yan is stupid or what? If she had those Dan pills then her strength wouldâve improved greatly, yet instead she left it all to that outsider Bai Yi Yi. Now it all benefited me.â The lass snickers a laugh, holding her older stepsister in contempt.
Unbeknownst to her though, Wen Fei Feiâs speculation wasnât exactly wrong, those pills were given to Bai Yi Yi by Bai Yan herself. However, theyâre not assets left behind by Bai Yu, theyâre all personally concocted by Bai Yan during her younger years. As to why this fact wasnât made public, itâs due to the tragic event all those years ago that stopped it.
Back then, Bai Yan had just come across an old alchemy book in one of the old storage units of the Bai Clan. Then through trial and error of her own, the young girl was able to grasp her own way through the ins and out of alchemy and produce those Dan pills. Though inferior in quality for a first attempt, they were still plenty valuable on Earth. Coupling with the fact that the old Bai Clanâs head was about to celebrate a birthday event soon, she thought it be best to wait until that day to offer it as a present.
âBy the way Mama, you know how Papa doesnât let us go into his study right? Not long ago I secretly snuck in there and saw a portrait placed along his table...â
âPainting? Is it a painting of Bai Yu?â Chai Moon asks with raised eyebrow but quickly shot the idea down by shaking that head. Its too unlikely in her opinion.
For one thing, who still uses a painting when there are plenty of photos around?
âNo, itâs not... That painting, itâs like a tortoise, no wait, thatâs not right either. Umm, it has a body like that of a turtle with a snakeâs tail, and Iâm not exactly certain, but the head is similar to that of a dragonâs as well. I only took a glance and I already wanted one. Imagine having such a mighty creature as my pet, wouldnât that be good...â
âOh you,â Chai Moon gently pokes her daughter on the forehead as a tease, âthat painting is just a painting, donât think too much of it. Also, donât go asking your papa lest he be unhappy.â
No matter how extravagant their lifestyle was right now, itâs still taken from someone else so itâs not as stable as others think. After all, sheâs the one who lured another womanâs husband into her own bed and then gave birth to his child, that fact would never change.
What a shame, if only Bai Yu left behind some more of those Dan pills. If she did then Fei Feiâs strength would be much higher than she is now. Weâve already used all of it from the batch we took from Bai Yi Yi, from now on it will only get harder for my child to grow.
Upon thinking up to here, Chai Moon would always lament a sigh due to how far theyâve come. Her only hope doesnât lie with the selfish husband, rather itâs her own daughter. As long as the girl grows stronger and become a pillar of the Wen Clan then they wouldnât have to worry about being shoved out the door at any moment.
