Chapter 142: The Miserable Plight of the Bai Family

Page 1/3

In the original story, both Bai Chuwei and Bai Yinyin were supporting female characters, but the original protagonist turned dark and schemed against the male and female leads, while Bai Yinyin stayed by the side of the female lead, Tong Qingyan. Unfortunately, the entire Bai family met a tragic end.

The Bai family’s main branch had two sons: Bai Ze and Bai Shang. Bai Shang was skilled in business but was persuaded by Bai Yinyin to partner with Xu Xingchen in the commercial world. Xu Xingchen was a novice in business and could hardly compete with Duan Feihan, who had years of ruthless experience in the market. Within a week, the Bai family went bankrupt, and Bai Guofu died of shock.

With the Bai family fallen from grace, their eldest cousin Bai Ze took up work as Tong Qingyan’s bodyguard to make a living. Xu Xingchen suspected Bai Ze harbored feelings for Tong Qingyan. When Bai Ze was injured protecting the female lead, Xu Xingchen coldly watched him die without offering help.

It was a miserable fate. The Bai family was truly pitiful. None who allied with the leads ended well.

Originally, as the ancient matriarch of the Bai family, she should have protected her descendants. In the original story, the protagonist had once been sold off, a fact learned through Bai Shang’s purchase of information, while Bai Ze personally went to Hei City to rescue her. Yet neither of them met good ends.

Bai Chuwei felt a pang of sorrow. After hastily taking a few bites of dinner to keep up appearances, she put down her chopsticks and returned to her room.

Though she practiced fasting, she couldn’t avoid eating altogether; the Bai family would be frightened to death otherwise.

Back in her room, she saw a round, fluffy white hamster lying atop the empty wooden food box, its belly slightly swollen as it murmured to the ceiling, “So tasty, really tasty!”

Bai Chuwei poked Snowball’s bulging belly with disdain. “Hey, are you expecting? When’s the baby due?” That was a five-tier food box—how long had it been? It had eaten all the fried snacks inside.

She seriously suspected it wasn’t a hamster, but a pig!

Snowball sat up abruptly, squeaking in defense, “I’m just bloated, bloated, bloated! Important things said thrice!”

Ha.

Bai Chuwei sneered lazily, “Give me my spatial bracelet. I’ll pick out some gifts from inside.”

Snowball immediately burrowed through a pile of clutter and found a dusty white jade bracelet.

Bai Chuwei had lived five thousand years and possessed countless magical instruments. What others regarded as heirloom treasures—spatial bracelets—were like trinkets sold for two yuan at a roadside stall to her. She could easily craft hundreds.

Over the millennia, she had tossed some of her little collectibles into the spatial bracelet, with a small portion kept at her large garden villa in Huaguo.

She went into the space to select several gifts, planning to present them as meeting gifts to the Bai family’s main branch tomorrow.

Picking out gifts that suited their personalities, she finally emerged, satisfied.

Outside her room, she saw Snowball lying on the desk, leisurely gazing out at the night.

Well, still moon-gazing, huh?

Life was certainly good.

Bai Chuwei scoffed, “I say, you’ve been spirit-activated by me for twenty years—when do you plan to take human form?”

Snowball shook its head. “What’s the point of taking human form? Too many rules and hassles.”

“Ancestor, if I took human form, no one would keep you company.”

Snowball was touched by its own words. Looking at how devoted it was to the ancestor—and then at that fox who took human form and disappeared for years—the comparison made it clear: Snowball was the perfect pet hamster!

Bai Chuwei’s face darkened. “If you take human form, I’ll spirit-activate a few more to keep me company—oh no, I’m very busy now. I still have to recruit Duan Feihan as my new little brother!”

Just then, Duan Feihan, freshly out of the bath, sneezed sharply: “?”
