Chapter 73: The Belated Love of Mi Li's Parents

He originally thought that people in the Bai family who did so many good deeds were all pedantic people with broken brains, but he didn't expect that they were all black-hearted.

He Feiyu spat and immediately reported to his superiors that the Bai family's cooperation was extremely poor.

The person on the other end of the phone listened to his complaint and said, "Keep your voice down. Is this glorious?"

"We even took over Bai Chen's home, so let's not talk about it. It's normal for them to be angry."

I am speechless. He is indeed a pedantic superior. His brain is broken and his sense of morality cannot be used to make a living.

He Fei secretly hated that he had not given them food that day, and that the organization had not completed its mission. Before he completed his mission, the organization would not help him. After the mission was accomplished, he would go abroad and live a carefree life, away from these people who were morally condemning themselves even when they were doing great things.

Since the Du family, the largest investor, chose not to pursue the matter, He Feiyu could only swallow his anger.

The old man of the Du family smashed the cup again: "You pointed at Du Yao and yelled at him. The Bai family killed your brother! Are you just going to watch them bully you like that?"

Du Yao swirled the red wine in his glass, not getting upset. He was too lazy to play along with his cheating and irritable father and his estranged mother. The Bai family must be very proud now, right? The little girl must be smiling with bright eyes, hugging her beautiful mother tightly. He was not a person who could suffer a loss, but if he was to give the mother and daughter a profit, he would be happy to do so. They must be very happy. The woman looked at the child with tenderness.

I don't know who the father of the child is...

Du Yao collected his thoughts and said, "That's not my brother, he's just an illegitimate child. And the presumption of innocence is the end of the story. Since there is no evidence, don't call them murderers."

Du Yao stood up and went back upstairs. In the past, he liked the old man's angry look the most, and secretly hoped that he would have a stroke soon, but now he felt that it was a bit boring, or rather, he found something more important. He pulled out the part of the Bai family information that included Bai Xi and her daughter, and read it word by word again.

After Bai Xi resigned from the underground city, she started working as Bai Chen's secretary. Bai Chen planned to let Bai Xi gradually become familiar with the business and hand over the entire Bai Group to her, while he and Bai Jiao would build the base together.

Du Yao quickly extended an olive branch to the Bai family, proposing industrial cooperation and jointly developing robots.

Bai Chen was not sure whether Du Yao really wanted to cooperate, but it was just right for Bai Xi to practice this cooperation.

The meeting was scheduled for 10 a.m. Bai Xi and his team arrived half an hour early, but they didn't expect Du Yao to be already there.

"Vice President Bai, please sit down." Du Yao took the initiative to step forward and pull out the chair for Bai Xi before returning to his own seat.

This action made Bai Xi hesitate for a moment before he sat down. If I remember correctly, although it is said that a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, the Bai Group is not so powerful that it needs the Du family to flatter it.

The entire meeting went smoothly. The cooperation proposed by Du Yao was fair to both parties. After carefully reading the contract and finding no pitfalls, the two parties happily reached a cooperation agreement.

Before leaving, Du Yao casually asked, "Vice President Bai's husband died. If she is busy with her career, will your daughter be lonely at home? Do you need someone to take care of her?"

Bai Xi gave him a strange look and said, "My husband is dead, but my parents and friends are still alive and well, and they are more than capable of taking care of the baby."

Du Yao nodded thoughtfully.

Through Du Yao's channels, the Bai family still shared the information about the underground city. The underground city could not accommodate everyone, and the government also opened several bases. When the time comes, they will divert the core scientific research forces, leadership and some residents to the safer underground city.

Everyone in the Bai family got a spot in the underground city, but Aunt Xiao and the others who were not surnamed Bai were not allowed to go. After discussing for a night, they decided to stay together on the ground. If uncontrollable factors really appeared, they would all flee when disaster struck.

After Mi Li's parents knew that Mi Li moved into the Bai family, they finally awakened to their belated love for Mi Li. Nangong Zhu also realized her mistake and began to stick to Mi Li, wanting to cultivate feelings with this sister and sleep together (at the Bai family). Mi Li hesitated but did not refuse, acquiescing to the approach of her cheap relative. The Bai family did not say anything, but just told her that the new sports watch she was given had positioning and detection functions to protect her safety.

Until one day, at the invitation of her parents, Mi Li moved back to the Nangong family and was warmly received by her parents.

That night, Shitou's howling resounded through the sky. Bai Jiao hurried to open the door and found Mi Li standing at the door. She immediately became angry and her face turned red: "What's wrong? Did they kick you out?!"

Mi Li hugged her waist fiercely and buried her head in it: "No, the food on the table is all my favorite. I just realized now that they can remember what I like to eat. My room was moved from the nanny's room on the first floor to the guest bedroom on the second floor. My parents also gave me a lot of beautiful little dresses. It was not until the day when I really had it that I realized that the love from my family that I had always longed for was just like this."

"They don't love me, but the Bai family behind me. When my value exceeds that of the excellent Nangong Zhu, they will forget the dishes Nangong Zhu likes, will be dissatisfied with her pampered nature, and will hate the blood in her that does not belong to this family. Even if I clink steaks like before, they will only think I am cute. It turns out that it's not that I'm not good enough, but that my parents are too bad."

Bai Jiao felt that her clothes were soaked. She patted Mi Li's back gently and hugged her in.

Mi Li was still crying: "When I was a child, my parents beat me and eventually abandoned me in the countryside. It was not until I found out that I was switched that I told myself that they didn't love me because I was not their biological child. But, but, later on, even if I was their biological child, they still didn't love me."

Mi Li started to talk incoherently, and finally she said, "I want to build a grave for my silly mother. Can it be moved to this hilltop?"

Her silly mother was the one who raised her. A madman picked her up in the village and raised her. Then she fell into the water and died when she was ten years old, leaving Mi Li with a dilapidated cement house. She grew up slowly on the minimum living allowance.

Bai Jiao said, "I can't make the decision. You have to ask Silly Mother. Today is Sunday. Should I ask for leave tomorrow to take you there, or should we wait until next weekend? Let's go to Silly Mother's grave and ask her. If she doesn't say anything, we'll take it as her consent to your decision."

Mi Li finally raised her head from Bai Jiao's arms: "You are being a rogue."

She had already released all her emotions, and was thinking of getting some tissues from the coffee table in the living room to wipe them off. When she looked up, she saw a room full of people.

There are always moments when people faintly want to die. Mi Li thought.

…

On the day the underground city was completed, the surface temperature rose to 40 degrees and thick fog emerged from underground again.

This time, as soon as the fog appeared, the detector on the ground issued a warning sound. The scientific researchers wore protective clothing and lay on the ground to observe. The drilling machine started working, and the pit was crowded with workers.

Public broadcasts in various places began to remind residents to lock their doors and windows and try not to let fog into their homes. The Bai family had already closed the protective cover and dripped spiritual spring water into the water supply system. The infiltration of fog was impossible to prevent, and the only way to expel it was with the spiritual spring water.

Bai Yunyun doesn't like the fog, so she chooses to go back to the jade pendant alone, while Bai Chen and Bai Jiao stay to take care of everyone's condition.

"It's so strange. No matter how we dig, there seems to be no source. Could it be emanating from the earth's core?" a researcher muttered to himself as his colleague leaned his head on his shoulder, getting closer and closer.

The researcher smiled and patted his head: "Okay, get back to work. Stop clinging to me, little brat."

He pushed his colleague several times, but he still chose to stick to him. Finally, he couldn't help but turn around and glare at his colleague. His colleague's pupils were dilated, his face was purple, his pointed teeth were exposed, and his saliva dripped into his mask.

"Ah!" The researcher screamed, pushed his colleague away, ran forward, stumbled, and fell on a warm human body.

Another of his colleagues is dead! No, no, no, he reached out to take off his mask, put his fingers on his nose, fortunately, he should just be unconscious. He helped his colleague put the mask back on, but found that the zombies around him imitated his actions and began to take off their own masks.

He crawled out of the pit, looking for a conscious human to gather together.

At the same time, in different places, similar scenes were being played out. The government sent an urgent text message to those who had a place in the underground city, asking them to enter the underground city.

He Feiyu sighed, ordered his wife and children to put on protective clothing and go out to kill the zombies knocking on the door, and then drove to the entrance of the underground city. Du Yao locked the doors and windows, took out his mobile phone and called Bai Xi, but before he could see the result, he fainted on his bed.

The room was eerily quiet. Even Bai Yunyun in the jade pendant space felt something was wrong. The space began to shake violently. She ran around with her short legs to clear up the chaos inside the space. She then thought that something must have happened outside!

Everyone fell to the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. Bai Yunyun pushed everyone several times, but none of them woke up. She could only cover Shitou with a small quilt first, and drag the others to the sofa and cover them with small blankets. Everyone's face was ruddy and their breathing was smooth. They didn't look like they were in trouble. Why was this? Was it related to the fog?

Bai Yunyun tried to think hard, but couldn't figure out why. She also started to feel dizzy.

Suddenly, the jade pendant hanging on Bai Jiao's neck began to glow, and Bai Yunyun immediately crawled over and tried to take it off. The moment her hand touched the jade pendant, she felt a sharp pain, and a drop of blood dripped onto the jade pendant. The jade pendant slowly pulled out a green branch, which became longer and longer, and gradually entangled Bai Jiao.

Bai Yunyun wanted to grab the branches and move them away, but there were invisible thorns on the branches, which easily cut her palms. The branches absorbed the blood and began to turn bright red.

Bloodvine! The weirdness that appeared in the preview that Wu Chang gave her!

The branch had no intention of hurting Bai Jiao, and began to grow rapidly, with its roots firmly attached to the jade pendant, almost growing into a towering tree. However, Bai Jiao's skin did not sag, and he was obviously not under pressure, and his whole body was emitting a green glow. It wandered around the other members of the Bai family, and finally chose to return to Bai Jiao. The small branch that had not yet developed its spiritual consciousness subconsciously attached itself to the Bai family members who had the strongest affinity with the wood element.
