62 Quid pro quo (1/2)
”There's a saying that I've always loved, it goes something like this, 'Fate gives us enough for our needs, not for our greed.'”
Snorting coldly Bai Xiu said, ”Why act so mysterious now? Just get to the point.”
”Sure.”
While Yailing still maintained the same harmless smile on her face, on the inside however she was cursing and increasing her determination to torture her.
”Fate only gives us enough for our need. If we want any more than that, we'll have to take it by ourselves.”
Looking towards the silently listening Bai Zhen, Yailing moved closer and sat on the chair across to him.
”And right now, with the King dying, your fate won't even give you enough to satisfy your needs.”
”I already know that.”
”Good. That makes things a lot easier.”
Ignoring Bai Xiu who was already getting frustrated with the multiple meanings filled talk, Yailing said, ”As the situation is right now, you don't even stand a chance to compete for the throne.”
”Especially with that idiot sister of yours who is only good to be used as a slave, and can't even seduce Cao Hai's son.”
”What did you say bitc...”
”Shut up!”
Shouting to interrupt his slutty sister whom he couldn't wait to get rid of, Bai Zhen looked towards Yailing and said, ”You were saying?”
”So, let's make a deal.”
”A deal?”
”Let's call it an exchange of mutual benefits.”
”I'm listening.”
Widely grinning, Yailing pointed towards Bai Xiu and said, ”Give her to me, and I'll make sure you obtain Cao Hai's support.”
Frowning deeply after stopping his sister from speaking, Bai Zhen asked, ”Why would you do that?”
”It's quite simple. Once you obtain Cao Hai's support, I want you to kill Bai Shen.”
What followed was a pin drop silence, which Bai Xiu ruined by hysterically shouting.
”Are you crazy? That's your son you're talking about! You stupid slu...!”
Having already used up all her patience, Yailing suddenly appeared in front of Bai Xiu and caught her by the neck.
”You really should learn some manners. I have no use for women who can't even respect me.”
”MMMMMMM!”
