Chapter 329: Taking Bai Mo Away

At the same time, the elevator door opened.

"That's them!" Wang Shuanghua said to the two security guards beside her, "Sneaking around my door, trying to pick my digital lock—grab them and send them to the police!"

When Wenwen's mother called her from upstairs, she had been in a meeting, and her phone had alerted her that someone was repeatedly trying the digital lock on her door.

The surveillance had captured clear video.

She had still underestimated Bai Mo; even paralyzed, she could still find people to rescue her, though she had only found fools.

"This is a misunderstanding!" After being grabbed by the security guards, Bai Mu shouted into the room, "I'm here to find my daughter! Bai Mo! Bai Mo!"

The two young men who had taken the money saw that the situation had turned sour and hurriedly emptied the money from their pockets, "We have nothing to do with her! We're just workers looking for odd jobs; she's the one who hired us!"

After shouting this, the two of them ran off.

Wang Shuanghua told the security guards to release Bai Mu, "Alright, you can go back to your work; I'll handle the rest."

The security guards of such high-end residential complexes fully respected the personal wishes of the owners.

"Understood, Li Jie, if you need anything, just call us anytime."

"I will."

After the security guards left, only the two of them remained in the hallway.

"Go in!"

Wang Shuanghua pushed the door open and looked at Bai Mu, who was still standing blankly outside, "What? Don't want to see your daughter anymore?"

Bai Mu was indeed somewhat afraid; she was afraid of this abnormal woman. Wasn't she going to have the police arrest her?

"Mom! Mom! Mom!"

At this moment, Bai Mu heard Bai Mo's heart-wrenching screams. She could no longer afford to hesitate, so she went inside and followed the sound to open one of the bedroom doors.

A nauseating stench filled the room, almost knocking her out on the spot.

She saw Bai Mo lying on the bed, her face so thin her chin had become pointed; one could tell at a glance she suffered from long-term malnutrition.

"Mom! Mom!" Seeing Wang Shuanghua, Bai Mo shrank back as if seeing a demon, "Save me! I don't want to stay here anymore!"

Bai Mu glanced at Wang Shuanghua's half-smiling eyes, momentarily unsure of what she meant.

She patted the back of Bai Mo's hand soothingly, "Calm down first, I'll discuss it with her."

Bai Mu guessed that she would likely have to pay a price to take Bai Mo away. After returning to the village, much of the money from selling the house had been borrowed by her brother-in-law's family, and combined with buying medicine for Bai Laotaitai and the like, she now had less than one hundred thousand left.

"I see you're quite busy with work every day, and she needs someone to take care of her personally now. Would, would it be alright if I took her away to look after her?"

Wang Shuanghua smiled, "You're her mother; taking care of her is only right."

On her way back, she had already had someone look into this woman's situation, "However, I've helped you take care of the child for these two years—shall we settle the expenses?"

Bai Mu's heart skipped a beat; it was just as she had expected.

"How much do you want?"

"One hundred thousand."

Wang Shuanghua pointed at the room's furnishings, "This daughter of yours is a vain person; you should be very clear about that, right?"

"These two-plus years have cost me quite a bit of money. Once you pay, you can take her away."

"Otherwise, she might have to stay here for a while longer."

Bai Mo shook her head frantically, "Mom, give it to her! Give her the money! If I stay here any longer, I'll die!"

Bai Mu certainly wanted to take her away, but to hand over all one hundred thousand she had on hand at once—she didn't know when her brother-in-law would pay her back, and what would the two of them live on!

"I'm not in a rush; if you don't have the money, you can go back and scrape it together first," Wang Shuanghua kindly suggested.

She had grown tired of looking at Bai Mo over these two years, and the doctors had already confirmed that her body was beyond saving; she would be paralyzed in bed for the rest of her life.

Letting her die would be letting her off too easily.

This Bai family was also quite interesting, especially that old woman of the Bai family.

She was certain that even if Bai Mo went back with Bai Mu, she wouldn't live a good life.

Give her a little hope first, then let her fall into despair—only then would it be satisfying.

She liked watching Bai Mo struggle, just like how Bai Mo had heartlessly locked her own daughter outside and left her to struggle back then.

Bai Mu tried to bargain with her, "Will eighty thousand do?"

"No." Wang Shuanghua refused flatly.

Bai Mo cried hysterically, "Mom! Just save me! Once I get better, I'll earn money to support you in your old age!"

She had already been tortured so miserably, yet Bai Mu was actually hesitating over one hundred thousand yuan.

Was she not even as important as one hundred thousand yuan?

But Bai Mo dared not say these words anymore. Right now, Bai Mu was her only hope of escaping the old hag Wang Shuanghua; she could only beg bitterly.

In the end, Bai Mu's heart was softened by her tears.

She went to a nearby bank to withdraw the one hundred thousand yuan, gave it to Wang Shuanghua, and hired a car to take her back to the countryside.

Finally having escaped that place, Bai Mo felt extremely relieved. She longed for a new life, longed for revenge, and longed for Bai Mu to find a doctor to cure her paralysis.

Unexpectedly, just as she was dragged into the house by Bai Mu, Bai Laotaitai ran in leaning on her cane and spat a mouthful of phlegm onto Bai Mo's face.

"Is something wrong with your brain?" Bai Laotaitai scolded her daughter-in-law, "Do you have nothing better to do? Is your money burning a hole in your pocket? So you brought back an ancestor to serve?"

"Get her out of here!"

Bai Mu had already anticipated this possibility; she sighed, "Mom, when Guosheng was still here, he loved her the most. Now that she's become like this, if I don't look after her, how will I have the face to see Guosheng in the future?"

"Besides, now that she's paralyzed, where can she go?"

"Throw her on the road! In a ditch! Anywhere you can throw her!"

Bai Mu could only shake her head, "Mom, I beg you, I beg you, let her stay until her health improves a bit!"

She had been a healthy person when she was at home before; perhaps she could be cured.

"Why don't you understand? I'm doing this for your own good!" Bai Laotaitai was so angry her chest hurt, "This is clearly a jinx; how many people has she cursed to death since she grew up?"

"How many good days can an old woman like me have left? What do I have to be afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that you'll be implicated by her until you die!"

Bai Mu said, as if resigning herself to fate, "There's no such thing as being a jinx; a person's life is whatever it is destined to be."

From the first time she held this child, their fates had already been tightly bound together.

Before leaving, Bai Laotaitai spat on Bai Mo's face, "Pah! You disaster star!"

If this were in the past, Bai Mo would have been furious to the point of wanting to die, but now she just calmly experienced it all, thinking only that things would be fine once she could stand up.

Everything would get better.

After settling Bai Mo in, Bai Mu went to her brother-in-law's house; she had no money left now, and Bai Mo would likely need a sum of money for medical treatment.
