Chapter 534 - 0534: Red Fluff’s Night Run 2_1
Tears welled up in Bai Xue’s eyes all at once, as if pears battered by rain, not flowers drenched in dew.
"Aunt, you hit me? You hit me! You do nothing to help me with the trouble at hand, instead you hit me!" Bai Xue’s voice was filled with reproach. Yet, encountering the stern and icy gaze from Battalion Commander Bai, she trembled with fright and slowly knelt down in front of her, pulling at the hem of Battalion Commander Bai’s trousers. She sobbed and pleaded, "Aunt, help me, please help me. I don’t want to marry to General Su!"
Battalion Commander Bai did not kick her away, but neither did she respond to her plea.
"There is no other option, Bai Xue, the only path in front of you is to obey the command of the military!" declared Battalion Commander Bai.
"What? Aunt, no!"
Battalion Commander Bai crouched in front of her, leveling her eyes with Bai Xue’s face, she said mockingly, "You brought this upon yourself, Bai Xue. I advised you years ago, to know when to stop, to seize the opportunity while still young, to pick a husband from the well-off and influential admirers, no matter how they would turn out to be, regardless of their future accomplishments. At the very least, you will have basked in glamour and wealth, and be under the shelter of his family’s power. There would be no need to worry about who you might end up with. You didn’t listen! You always fantasized about a man who is young, handsome, talented, and prestigious in every aspect. You came here, you’ve met Colonel Lu, but sadly, destiny didn’t provide you with the opportunity. Haven’t your several years in the art troupe given you enough warning through the incident with Hao Xiaomei last year?"
Upon hearing Hao Xiaomei’s name, Bai Xue shrank back.
