Chapter 02 Descent of the Adorable Baby Fox 2 ” (2/2)
The most laughable part was that Bai Zhen Xiang didn’t even know how to do business while Yu Rong was a massive spender. During these years, the expenses incurred by the Bai family were all funded by Lan Yue’s dowry.
As for Bai Xiao’s jade pendant, it’s the only item left for him by Lan Yue as a memento in which he kept hidden all these years.
If he hadn’t concealed it so deeply, it’s likely that their step mother Yu Rong would’ve taken it away long ago too.
While all kinds of thoughts were running through Bai Yan’s mind, a maidservant had pompously entered the premise without permission, thus interrupting the sibling’s conversation.
“Miss, the madam is seeking your audience.”
“Sister.” Bai Xiao hastily grabs her hand, his eyes filled with worry.
“Don’t worry, I will be fine.” Bai Yan comforts her brother by patting Bai Xiao on the hand. Giving him a meaningful wink, she then headed towards the doorway.
In an instant, a majestic and imposing aura radiates out of the young lady. Her alluring red dress spread far and wide, her icy cold eyes sharp and dangerous. Following each of her step, the maidservant would have a harder time breathing like something has clutched onto her throat.
“Don’t forget, you are merely a servant here. Even if I’m not in favor, I’m still a master of the Bai residence. Not asking me for my permission to enter my chamber is akin to disrespecting me, thus I am in my right to have you beaten to death!”
The maidservant’s face turned ashen with fright. She had signed the slavery contract, therefore even if the master wanted to kill her, she would have no choice but to die.
Due to Bai Yan being too timid previously, the maid had become complacent around her and forgot this crucial fact.
“Lead the way.” The young lady’s tone was cold and detached, making her unquestionable.
“Yes milady.”
No longer daring to act out of place, the maidservant understands well enough that even if the one in front of her had a bad reputation, the lady had every authority to punish a servant.
Blankly staring at the retreating figure’s back, Bai Xiao got the aching nudge in the back of his head that her elder sister have changed over these past few months…
She’s stronger, more reliable, and enough to put his mind at ease.
