Old Yuan slipped away as fast as he could.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask his eldest daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Are you coming back to Beijing with me?"
He said in a deep voice, "Mei Fang is resting and preparing for childbirth in the Northeast, while I'm all alone in Beijing..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ji and Xu Wanru interrupted him.
"don't want!"
"Who wants to go back to the capital with you?"
“We are going to Northeast China, and I can take care of Meifang’s daily life.”
"I can cook delicious food for Meifang!"
"..."
Old Yuan: "!!!"
It felt like an arrow had pierced my heart, so cold and sharp!
He hesitated, holding up one finger, and mumbled, "One? You two... one of you could take care of me too!"
Bai Ji and Xu Wanru, upon hearing this: ...
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Then.
He shook his head without hesitation.
"don't want!"
"We can't be bothered to serve you, you old codger!"
Old Yuan: "!!!"
Hit by an arrow +1!
That was a critical hit!
He said...
He said it was an accident, and that Mei Fang was his true love, right?
He suspected, he had always suspected, that the reason his wife and he had been so eager to help him marry Mei Fang back then wasn't for his own good at all, but simply because...
Because they have taken a liking to Mei Fang!
Old Yuan: "Waaah!"
She grabbed her luggage, crying, and ran away!
Before leaving, he asked his wife for some pocket money...
no way!
His savings, his family fortune... he handed it all over to Mei Fang as an inheritance!
Mei Fang split up with the two sisters again!
Now……
He was penniless!
Is she going to give birth at home?
That's impossible to get back!
His wives are already a blessing from their ancestors for not kicking him out of the house and even giving him some pocket money!
Old Yuan left in a flash, but Bai Ji and Xu Wanru didn't leave so quickly.
The Yuan family is large and prosperous, and Old Yuan spends most of his time in mainland China and rarely returns home.
The two sisters have been handling almost everything at home, and now...
Aside from things like Old Yuan faking his death, they always had to appease their clansmen and stabilize the family business.
As for what Lao Yuan said about the Yuan family facing a great calamity, Bai Ji, as Gu Guanhai's information gatherer in Hong Kong, already knew it all along.
However, she wasn't afraid of anything.
She has a lot of dirt on prominent families in Hong Kong.
If the prominent families of Hong Kong want to join forces against the Yuan family, they'll have to see if they have the ability.
If they're not afraid of ruining their reputation, she wouldn't mind playing along with them.
While Bai Ji was busy dealing with the returning powerful families, Xu Wanru was busy collecting ingredients...
Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, bird's nest, fish maw...
Whether she needed it or not, she would stuff everything she had into her bag.
As for what she doesn't have...
It's alright, the Yuan family is large and powerful, she can have people find a way to get it!
Anyway.
Everything should be done with Mei Fang and the baby in her womb in mind!
