Her careful care made Bai Qiandao very unaccustomed. How could a rich man who was ranked high in the Five Elements Alliance do such a thing!
He told her that a caregiver would be enough, and it wasn't like he couldn't move. She smiled softly and said she would do it, which made her feel more at ease.
He really didn't know what she was thinking. Even if she wanted to marry him, there was no need to put down her worth to do so. Of course, he wouldn't think that she liked him. The identities of the two were very different. He had recently experienced a breakup and was quite frustrated. He didn't think he had such charm, so it was his sister Bai Yunni who was different.
The hospital where Bai Qiandao stayed was in a civilian area, and he was sent to the nearest hospital at that time. Although the medical level and conditions were better in the east and south, he was not seriously ill, so he did not need to be transferred to another hospital.
In fact, hospitals in civilian areas are generally poor now, but there are a few that are good, with beautiful environment, live in high-end wards, and can enjoy the treatment of high-end wards of ordinary hospitals in the south. Civilian areas are a concept. There are many small companies here, and there are many small bosses who can afford low-end speed cars, live in good housing, and have enough money to live in high-end wards.
Mai Tianxue is not used to coming here. She has the ultimate life, and a high-end ward in a civilian area looks like a slum to her.
So, she bought new high-end home appliances, etc. Bai Qiandao thought it was too luxurious, and he only stayed for a few days before leaving. He just refused to listen and understood that the money was just a drop in the bucket to her.
Bai Qiandao was very moved. The life of the rich was really different from that of ordinary people. Spending money was like running water. Just like that high-end three-dimensional Telecom, he had to work for three years and had to work without food or water to afford it, but Mai Tianxue didn't care and was ready to give it to the hospital when the time came. Bai Qiandao tried his best to persuade them that these hospitals were actually quite shady and charged very high fees for civilians. He suggested that donating to orphanages and other welfare organizations would be better than donating to hospitals.
Mai Tianxue didn't care, but she followed Bai Qiandao's advice and quickly contacted an orphanage. There were many people doing the work for her, so she didn't need to worry about these little things.
Bai Qiandao couldn't help but think of the Bai family a hundred years ago, which should have been richer than the Mai family at that time. Unfortunately, during that earth-shattering change, the behemoth Bai family collapsed, and all future generations suffered miserably. The Mai family tried their best to protect themselves, and Mai Jue trained Mai Tianxue with all his heart, just to prevent such a tragic situation from happening. If the Mai family falls and this business empire falls apart, future generations will live the same miserable life as the Bai family.
He was thinking about the past of the Bai family here, and saw Bai Youman walking in gracefully. She was a concubine. Although she enjoyed the glory and wealth, when she saw the head of the family, Mai Tianxue, she was still a little shorter. Li said that he came to visit Bai Qiandao on behalf of Mai Shouye.
Mai Tianxue just nodded to Bai Youman. In the eyes of people with an orthodox family status like her, the concubine is only one level higher than the servant. Unless she gives birth to children and grandchildren, she can enjoy the blessings of the children and grandchildren and gain some status. This is how I live my whole life.
There are many people named Bai in the world. She didn't know that Bai Youman was Bai Qiandao's cousin, and she wouldn't have thought of it.
Bai Youman said something, and when he saw Mai Tianxue going out, he said, "Qiandao, Mai Tianxue values you very much. You can win more of her favor and become the Mai family's son-in-law."
"Ah? No, no, she won't fall in love with me, and besides, I don't have that feeling for her." Bai Qiandao said quickly.
Bai Youman had a look of resentment on his face and said: "Qiandao, I know your heart is not here, but... you listen to my advice and becoming a couple with her will allow you and Yunni to live a good life. At most, you If you don’t have money, the curse can’t punish you, but you can get a lot of other benefits.”
"We can also use the Mai family to restore the Bai family's glory, right?" Bai Qiandao frowned slightly.
"Yes, that's what I think. I'm a concubine and I don't have the ability to get involved in the Mai family's business. But as her husband, you can do things that I can't do...Qiandao, this is rare. Opportunity, so that our ancestors will no longer have regrets under Jiuquan, just listen to me!" Bai Youman stared at Bai Qiandao, his eyes sincere and hopeful.
"Aunt, this is the first time I call you aunt... The conversation that night made me sleepless. I thought a lot and made a decision... It is difficult to restore the Bai family to its former glory, but I will try my best. It's just that , I will never please Mai Tianxue and develop a romantic relationship with her because of this, feelings cannot be used like this."
"You...you are cursed, how can you do it!" Bai Youman sighed, with disappointment in his eyes again.
"I've thought about this problem. My curse just doesn't allow me to have more money, but the people around me can have money..."
"Is that so? Great, you can make money, and Yunni and I will keep it, invest, and do business for you... No, I am a concubine, and the master will not allow me to do this, but Yunni can come forward!" Bai Youman said happily.
"You don't know that my sister can spend money if you want her to, but she has no brains in this area. She won't be able to keep the money she has." Bai Qiandao smiled bitterly.
"Let me think about it... You can hire an agent. Yunni and I will not come forward. I will be in charge of the money, and you and I will be in charge of investment and other matters. Specifically, it will be operated by the agent team..." Bai Youman saw hope. His mind was spinning rapidly.
Neither of them knew that although Mai Tianxue went out, he quickly returned quietly and listened at the door, his eyes gradually deepening.
After a while, Mai Tianxue walked through the door with a calm expression. Bai Youman stood up to say goodbye, but still gave her a blessing.
"You may not know that my third mother used to be a top student at Tuzang University. She is well-educated and well-spoken, and is very popular with my father." Mai Tianxue said with a smile.
"Well, I can see that she is very talkative." Bai Qiandao nodded.
"What a coincidence, her surname is also Bai, and her name is Bai Youman. She married my dad when I was born, and as far as I know she was an orphan."
"Yeah." Bai Youman didn't want the Mai family to know about her relationship with Bai Qiandao, and Bai Qiandao couldn't tell.
Mai Tianxue still looked calm, stirring the pulp for Bai Qiandao, and said: "Actually, I know that one night, she went to your room..."
"Ah? Don't get me wrong, she was talking to me...my door was open at that time..." Bai Qiandao was a little panicked and said quickly.
"I didn't misunderstand! She went to find you at night, not afraid of others knowing, and of course she wouldn't have that kind of thing happen to you... It's just that I know the depth of her intentions..."
"Scheming? I don't understand, what do you mean?" Bai Qiandao asked in surprise.
"She did this to show me. As long as there is any abnormality in all the big and small things in the family, I can know it, let alone my father's concubine entering a man's room..." Mai Tianxue said with a faint smile: "She did this, firstly, to let me know that she has a special relationship with you, so that she can have more say in the Mai family; secondly, to avoid being discovered by me in the future and suspecting her, which is not good for you. First, clarify the true identity in advance. The origin; third, she is deeply loved by my father and is jealous of other baby mothers, so some things will happen against her, and she is seeking my protection."
Bai Qiandao was in a daze. He really didn't expect that Bai Youman would think so much about a late night visit, so he chose that time to go.
He smiled bitterly and asked, "What do you know?"
"Dad is protecting her and changed her household registration. This happened forty years ago. It's not easy to know more, but she understands that I can find out... She has never given up on the decline of the Bai family. !”
Bai Qiandao looked at her and said sternly: "Yes, she and I are both descendants of the Bai family. She and my deceased relatives are very reluctant to do so, but my sister and I were born as commoners, so there is no big deal about it. Feel."
Mai Tianxue nodded and said: "For more than a hundred years, no matter how powerful the family was, if decline cannot be avoided, future generations will gradually have only one thought of the past glory and forget about the ambition to revive the family... This is also my worry about the Mai family. If we step into this world, time will corrode everything."
Bai Qiandao was a little embarrassed and said, "Am I so useless?"
Mai Tianxue said: "From ancient times to the present, many big families have been destroyed, and many modern civilians are descendants of those big families. Our ancestors were once extremely glorious, so what, ashes will return to ashes, and dust will return to earth. The descendants are so ordinary that they cannot change. They have become accustomed to the later life. They don’t know how many honors their ancestors have... Only when the Bai family has an outstanding descendant like you, the third mother will regain hope. You are not useless, you are the best of the Bai family. Fortunately. Not to mention that you are a spiritual power user, how many different masters can there be in the world, there are only about a hundred in a thousand years!"
Bai Qiandao said: "You also know it, what do you think about it?"
"I have no opinion. Third mother is dad's concubine. It depends on what dad thinks. I won't do anything to hinder it."
Bai Qiandao sighed: "Actually, my temperament is indifferent, which is not suitable for the big things that my aunt wants to do. But after all, the Bai family declined a hundred years ago. My grandfather experienced that period when he was very young. Because of his influence, my father I am determined to do this, and I can’t bear to think about them, and I hope they can truly sleep in peace.”
Mai Tianxue smiled and said: "Although you don't have this idea, fate may push you to do it. Third Mom is a hook, and the obsession given to you by fate."
Bai Qiandao pondered for a while, smiled bitterly, and said: "Fate has given me luck, but it has also cast a curse on me. I feel that my life is sprinting, and I don't know where the end will be. This obsession is already bothering me."
"Trouble means that you are already accepting it deep down in your heart..." Mai Tianxue's eyes flickered and he said, "If you want help, I will try my best to help you..."
"No, no, I don't need..." Bai Qiandao remembered what Bai Youman said and quickly refused. Mai Tianxue didn't mean that, it was just his psychology.
Mai Tianxue smiled slightly and said, "Don't talk about it! I'll make lunch for you..."
