215: The plan failed
Bai Mofeng's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten excrement.
At this point, he had no other choice.
He had lost both his dignity and his reputation.
Bai Mofeng suppressed the anger in his chest, sighed, and signaled to his subordinates.
The burly man who had previously transferred one million star coins dragged his injured leg, moved step by step to White Gaze's side, and transferred another two million star coins to him.
"Alright, bring me the IOU, I'll burn it!"
Bai Mofeng squeezed these words through his teeth; he was not reconciled!
However, he still had a backup plan!
Gu Xiaoyue took out the IOU that Bai Yao had written earlier and waved it.
"The IOU is here, it's no problem to burn it for you. First, write me a receipt! Prove that you have received my IOU, and write clearly the content of the IOU, the date, when you received the IOU, and when it was destroyed!"
"You!——"
"Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do! By using the star coins transfer record, you will go to court later and say that we borrowed your star coins. Since the IOU has been burned by you, there will only be the transfer record, and no shopping information. If you sue White Gaze, not only will he have to pay you back these three million star coins! By adding fuel to the fire, White Gaze might even end up with a reputation for not paying back debts and being sued for debt collection!"
Gu Xiaoyue had encountered a real case that happened between two old friends.
Old Wang and Old Li borrowed one hundred thousand star coins. Old Wang asked Old Li to give him cash, and later Old Li paid him back using his brain.
A few years later, Old Wang sued Old Li, claiming that Old Li had borrowed one hundred thousand star coins from him.
Because there was no other evidence, the brain indeed had a record of Old Wang transferring one hundred thousand star coins to Old Li.
The judicial bureau had no choice but to rule that Old Li had to pay Old Wang one hundred thousand star coins!
Isn't Bai Mofeng doing exactly that right now!
If White Gaze were to be labeled as someone who doesn't pay back debts at such a young age, his future path would not be easy.
Seeing that his plan had failed, Bai Mofeng suppressed the anger in his chest.
"I have no grudge against you, why are you pushing me so hard?"
"This is just the interest for Bai Yao bullying White Gaze; you will have much more to pay back in the future!"
Gu Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows and said with an innocent face.
"I'm talking about you!"
Of course, Bai Mofeng didn't care about this small amount of star coins, but he had truly lost a great deal of face!
Gu Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, thought for two seconds, and answered seriously.
"I just simply think that you and Bai Yao are repulsive. Write it quickly, otherwise my hand might accidentally shake, and I might cripple Bai Yao's two legs, and maybe even his third leg!"
She had not forgotten that the moment Bai Yao saw her, he was disrespectful to her.
Although Bai Yao had always bullied White Gaze within a limited scope, that was also because of Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi's requirements.
As for the people around White Gaze, Bai Yao could manipulate them at will, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate that was Gu Xiaoyue.
Bai Mofeng was already at his wit's end, so he had to write a receipt for Gu Xiaoyue, stating that the three million star coins transferred today were for the debt, and the IOU had been received and destroyed.
The content, date, and handprint were all complete and clear.
Gu Xiaoyue nodded with satisfaction, let White Gaze take a photo with his brain, and then put the receipt into the Yu Beast Space.
The supplies were prepared, and the external debt had been collected.
Gu Xiaoyue and White Gaze returned to their residence, leaving Bai Mofeng and his people grinding their teeth in hatred, yet they could do nothing about them.
When White Gaze had prepared dinner and was eating with Gu Xiaoyue, she asked: "Do you know why I only asked for an extra two million star coins?"
White Gaze had just stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth; he also hadn't expected that Gu Xiaoyue would feel that asking Bai Yao's family for two million star coins was too little for standing up for him.
"Hmm? This is two million star coins, sister. Even if I worked for half my life, I might not be able to earn that much!"
In his tone, two million was already a lot.
Gu Xiaoyue sighed helplessly, looking as if she was disappointed that he didn't live up to her expectations.
"But you have been bullied by Bai Yao for more than ten years. If I had the chance to turn the tables, I would wish to make them lose everything! I really don't know if you are easily satisfied or just too kind!"
White Gaze looked at Gu Xiaoyue cautiously and didn't speak again.
"What I hope is that in the future, if you are bullied, you must take it back. Let those who bully us know that we are not to be trifled with!"
Gu Xiaoyue broke off a chicken leg for White Gaze and put it in his bowl.
From her perspective, White Gaze had always been bullied, and he himself bore a large part of the responsibility.
If he had fought back fiercely from the first time he was bullied, perhaps he wouldn't have been bullied anymore.
Of course, it didn't exclude the possibility of being bullied even worse!
But if from the beginning to the end, he just silently endured it, then the only outcome was to be bullied forever!
White Gaze lowered his eyes to look at the chicken leg in the bowl, his nose feeling a bit sore.
He nodded vigorously and began to eat in big mouthfuls.
Sister was too good to him, and he couldn't confess his background to her.
White Gaze was afraid that Gu Xiaoyue wouldn't be able to accept it; if a trace of fear or disdain appeared in his sister's eyes, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to go on living!
In the days that followed, besides exercising and doing basic housework, White Gaze spent his time learning some Beastmaster knowledge from Gu Xiaoyue.
"Sister, aren't you afraid that I won't have any attributes or Beastmaster talent when I get tested?"
As White Gaze was learning, he suddenly said this.
He had suddenly remembered that if he couldn't become a Beastmaster, wouldn't sister be wasting her time with him?
Gu Xiaoyue couldn't just tell White Gaze directly that he would have a talent above the Heaven Rank in the future.
"You should learn more. Even if you can't become a Beastmaster, it would be nice to find a job at the Beastmaster Association later, right!"
White Gaze's eyes lit up, "Sister, you are right!"
Gu Xiaoyue looked at White Gaze's innocent eyes; he was so easy to fool!
They would also talk about other things, from all over the world, and would also talk about Chu Li, Ye Wanrou, Shui Lingyu, and He Zhichen.
White Gaze's evaluation: Chu Li had a wolf-dog attribute, Ye Wanrou was a goofy, gluttonous girl, Shui Lingyu was a meticulous white-cut-black, and He Zhichen was a brainless muscle man with a big chest.
"I can't understand the behavior of issuing a bounty just to make sister rely on him. Is Shui Lingyu a yandere?"
Gu Xiaoyue had black lines on her head; she might have been a bit too close to the situation to see it clearly.
Since Shui Lingyu said that at the time, combined with her own powerful strength, she had also tacitly accepted it as a rather special way of attracting her.
Now that White Gaze mentioned it, Shui Lingyu might indeed have some yandere attributes.
"Run for an extra hour today, for talking too much!"
She felt a sense of shame at being exposed, as if she knew that Shui Lingyu was like this, yet still let him do it.
"Alright, alright, whatever sister says is right!"
White Gaze ran away after saying that.
A few days ago, Gu Xiaoyue had cut her long black hair.
During the apocalypse, she also had short hair.
After transmigrating, the original owner always had long hair, and since she felt long hair was also good-looking, she had kept it.
Now that she was living on the grassland, short hair was easier to manage.
In two months, because of exercising and nutritious meals, White Gaze's body had become much stronger, and he had grown a full five centimeters in height.
When they first met, he was only slightly taller than Gu Xiaoyue, but now he was already half a head taller than her.
When the day of the attribute test arrived, Uncle Luosang drove his small truck and stopped at White Gaze's house.
"I'm going to the city to deliver sheep today, and I can give White Gaze a ride to do his attribute test!"
